Character's Physical Description:
Emaru is a sleek, screen-faced puppet built with showmanship in mind. This figure’s design blends broadcast aesthetics with sharp mechanical tech. Their head is a smooth, glassy display panel instead of a human face that is constantly glowing with animated expressions, symbols, or glitchy static depending on mood. He also has thin antennas or signal fins rising from the sides of his head that's always pulsing faintly as if always searching for a connection. Their body is tall and angular, plated in polished metal and glossy plastic that are colored in bold neon accents making him look toy-like in appearance. Light from his chakra seams run along their limbs like circuitry veins, flickering whenever they move or process information. The torso houses a faintly humming core which has his soul visible beneath translucent plating, suggesting immense processing power beneath the stylish exterior.
He wears a sharply tailored long coat that mimics the silhouette of a ringmaster or TV host along with a fancy tailored suit to hide most of his mechanical parts though his suit often gets messed up in fights making him have to spend a lot at his tailor due to the many adjustments they have to make because he has a particular taste in clothing.
Character's Mental Description:
Emaru treats his villainy like a performance, not a crime. He doesn’t just fight against the villages but instead he rewrites their stories to always paint them as the villains. To the public, he presents himself as an unfiltered voice who tells it like it is. He speaks like a deranged far anarchist news channel who literally hates everything Shinobi because everything they do to him is mostly bad. New kage to him means dictatorship! Kids training to protect their loved ones is creating and slaughtering children! And don't get him started on the fact that people aren't able to freely leave and enter the village without a passport which someone can deny at any moment! To many villages his broadcasts are causes for reckless destruction. The village fails or does something around, he calls it incompetence. They start to succeed, he invents scandals (even some that don't make sense.)
He thrives on controlling the narrative and is motivated purely by ego. Cameras, microphones, newspapers, broadcasts he treats them like weapons. He doesn’t want people afraid of him.. He wants them dependent on him. The goal isn’t simply domination, it's becoming the only voice anyone trusts and proving that the heroes aren't really heroes in any way he can.
Character History:
Emaru wasn’t always a towering broadcast tyrant. Once, he was just a craftsman in the Moon Village. He was primarily a unique, isolated artist who had his own settlement, where his art, performances, and storytelling were the main priorities. He made puppets for the local theatre shows, festivals, and political pageants. His creations were clever little things especially since with his knowledge of mechanical puppet technology he could make more expressive faces with hidden mechanisms and moving mouths. He took pride in making them feel alive. Being a great inventor, he even made his own automated assistant when he was just a teen. A doll named Chiko was made from clay and wood, featuring a mechanical core, and even had a personality program that was a mix of Emaru’s own personality and that of a sassy lady. Emaru made her help him with his work. She could assist him, carry tools, and even help with the construction of puppets and dollhouses. Emaru was proud of his creation, while Chiko was only programmed to be a helpful assistant.
He made a lot more than just his familiar Chiko. He also built a tool that stored seals of some of his favorite jutsu's so he didn't have to burn chakra using them all the time. Building things that ranged from futuristic to basic. After all, he was a mechanist, so being a mad scientist of some sort was to be expected. His favorite invention was a tool that could shoot fire and electricity, and he would later use it as his signature weapon. He made himself into an enigma because while most Shinobi had basic dreams like wanting to be a kage or protecting the village. Creating stories was something that Emaru wanted to do, and he did that through his puppet shows. At first, his plays were harmless satire. He’d poke fun at village officials from other countries, exaggerating their habits, and let audiences laugh at power from a safe distance. The people loved it. His shows filled the square and his puppets became minor celebrities.
But he noticed something.
When the jokes were gentle, the crowd chuckled.
But when the jokes were sharp, the crowd leaned in.
And when the jokes became outright lies like outrageous conspiracies, dramatic scandals, wild exaggerations… The crowd couldn’t look away. They were enthralled and they believed him. The more he pushed the line, the more they loved it. They clung to the stories he spun. They got lost in his performances and they were addicted. He could see it in their eyes. They didn’t just want stories… They wanted lies. They wanted a world where the heroes were clear and the villains were obvious.. So he made his shows more and more outrageous and people came from all over to see his shows.
The truth entertained them for sure but outrage captured them!
So he leaned into it.
He started crafting puppet shows that portrayed other village officials as buffoons, monsters, or secret schemers. He invented stories, staged fake “revelations,” and spread rumors between performances to make the shows feel prophetic. Soon, people weren’t just watching for laughs.. They were watching for “truth.” They were hanging onto every word as if his puppet shows were actually real news. As if they were true events. And Emaru saw how much power he had. So he started using it. He spread information and misinformation. He crafted tales to make certain figures look good, and he spread rumors to destroy others. His power grew.
He realized then that stories didn’t need to be real to control people. They just needed to be compelling. And that’s when the officials came calling. They saw how he had captured the masses and they wanted that power. They offered him money, fame, and other rewards to “expose” their opponents. It worked beautifully. So many powerful people fell for his words. It was so easy. And as his power grew, so did his ambition. He began to dream of spreading his words to every corner of the land. And he wanted to do it with his own people, his own puppets. So he began to gather a team of loyal followers. He found those with talents that matched his own, who shared his ambitions, and who were willing to do whatever it took to help him achieve his goals. Together, they formed a media company. A puppet show troupe. A machine of disinformation. And they were unstoppable. And with the many missing nins who dwell in the country, he had plenty of content to fish out of them with interviews.
He stopped seeing himself as a puppeteer of wood and cloth and started seeing himself as a puppeteer of public opinion! And as his influence grew, so did his ego. Gone were the days of light-hearted satire and here were the times of controversial lies. He went from a small-time puppeteer to a powerful force in the world. And he wasn’t content to simply be a behind-the-scenes player. He wanted to be seen. He wanted to be known. He wanted his name to be synonymous with truth and honesty. Even if it meant lying to the masses. So he rebranded himself. He took on a new name and a new persona. He became the charismatic leader of the news troupe. He was the face of the organization and he was the voice of the people. He used his natural charisma to charm audiences and to convince them that he was on their side.
During one particularly grand performance, a late-night TV broadcast show accusing the village councils of hiding “secret taxes” and “rationing conspiracies” he decided to debut his masterpiece: a life-sized puppet modeled after himself, designed to host shows even when he wasn’t present! To prove its realism, Emaru boasted onstage that his puppets were so advanced they could replace anyone.
Including him.
To demonstrate this point, he unveiled a contraption meant to create a dramatic illusion! The puppet’s head would pop off, then his own would appear to detach in a puff of stage smoke, only for both to “magically” reattach.
It would have been brilliant! But unfortunately, he built the mechanism himself. And he was far better at lies than magic tricks.
The puppet’s head launched perfectly off in a puff of smoke.
His head, which was supposed to have a non-deadly paper bomb that had a smoke seal instead of an explosion one… His head exploded and did not reattach.
The audience initially assumed it was part of the act especially when his body staggered dramatically and collapsed behind the curtain. But backstage chaos followed. In desperation, a group of his assistants who were already familiar with his obsession with lifelike puppets activated a prototype soul-binding mechanism he’d secretly built to animate his own creations. And the soul-binding core actually worked and Emaru was saved from his own accident! His consciousness latched onto a perfect vessel… His own puppet host.
And when he “woke up” moments later in a lacquered wooden body with articulated limbs, glass eyes, and a permanently presentable smile. The first thing he did?
Emaru declared the incident was a planned transformation. He announced to the crowd that he had “transcended flesh” to become a perfect, everlasting host for the truth. Even replacing the original head of the puppet with a monitor to match his love for the news and television. Except, it wasn’t quite the same. The puppet host was perfect. His new face was more expressive, its hands more dexterous, its limbs more flexible. It could talk without growing hoarse, laugh without losing breath, and move without getting tired. It was a machine designed to perform, and it performed flawlessly. As the days passed, Emaru found himself more comfortable in his puppet host than he had ever been in his human body. The host never aged, never felt pain, never had to eat, drink, or sleep. It could work endlessly, and Emaru did! He spent hours perfecting his broadcasts, rehearsing his lines until they were flawless, and crafting elaborate puppet shows.
He didn’t die but was reborn… and his new life only amplified his ego. He thought it was the world’s way of rewarding him for his genius. His true genius went beyond puppetry and extended to political commentary and public influence. And he became a tyrant to his staff and the political scene in his own village.
But that was all years ago and now he was a broadcast tyrant and his own puppet was now a lifeless corpse that was left behind in his own village in a secret lab. He was now the only person in his network and his show was the only one that was being broadcast. And that was because he was the one who had control of the broadcasting systems.
And from that day on, he abandoned puppets as props. And from that day on, he abandoned puppets as props. He started broadcasting instead, filling the airwaves with “news,” “exposés,” “entertainment,” and "misinformation.” He didn’t even need to make it up anymore. He just needed to take other people’s words and broadcast them, with a few edits here and there, and a few sound bites that he’d mix and match, and the audience loved it even more. They believed it even more. The world was bigger than the Moon Village now and Emaru didn’t need to be tied down to the stage anymore. Now the entire world was his stage. He could broadcast anything and everything. He could talk about anything and everything and he could tell people what to think. He didn’t just want to tell stories, he wanted to create a whole new world, and his new body was just the thing he needed to do it. And that’s how Emaru became a towering broadcast tyrant.
A living broadcast host made of crafted parts and stolen spirit and devoted to shaping narratives. Moon Village was just the beginning because collecting stories and spreading misinformation outright in the villages themselves was an opportunity that he couldn't pass up.
Because once he proved he could control a town with stories… He realized he could possibly control the world the same way.
