MAIN PROFILE
</COLOR>[spoilername="Physical Description"]Kossori never knew who his father was growing up, but it never mattered much. Having taken after his mother, he never had to worry about whose face it was staring back at him every morning. The hair that hung low across his brow was much like the older woman's; it was dark as coal. His eyes were as dark as hers as well; at least, they were as dark as hers had been before her demonic lineage took root. Truly, the only thing that he took away from the seed donor that was his father was the hard cast to his jaw and the seemingly unending need of a shave. The boy grew hard at an early age and grew harder still once he unlocked the curse that was his Nanjirou bloodline. Now he's lucky to get dressed in the morning. The ancestors that plague his thoughts bleed through his everyday actions and nothing about the guy remains static other than the body these souls now reside within.[/spoilername]
[spoilername="Personality Traits"]Have you ever wondered what it would be like to speak to or just to simply SEE your long lost family members? For Kossori, this was never something to wonder about; it was something to regret. Demonic visitations were as simple as allowing your great-great-grandfather to advise you on any given point of action. Even speaking to animals couldn't be ruled out; half his family had canine blood running through their veins. For Kossori, the mind was a treacherous place filled with too many ancestors and not enough peace. It made him grow tough. It made him grow crude. It essentially made him into a travesty of a human being that only cared about physical stimuli. While he does struggle to be a good person overall, he can't help but slip. The easiest way to shut down the voices that speak from beyond the grave, after all, is to do as they say... and when the great majority of these voices are those of criminals, what they say doesn't often promote purity of the soul.[/spoilername]
[spoilername="Character History"]The Horosha clan is not the typical family unit; Most of the members within this ragtag band of gypsies aren’t even related, more often than not. This doesn’t stop the Horoshas from travelling together, of course. If anything, they’ve come to develop a distrust of traditional family roles.
Enter Horosha Kossori. He is the bastard son of the great gypsy seer that protects the Horoshas from mental ambush while on the road. He would fall under the category of being in a traditional family role. Many of the other gypsies hated him for this. They were orphans forced to take to the streets in order to avoid starvation. They were criminals that had to duck the law at every turn. For this young boy to get not only a mother and a safe place to grow up, but to also inherit the strength of an upper-level shinobi… well… it simply wasn’t fair. This was how Kossori was forced to grow up. Nothing he did was ever good enough for his family, his mother was too preoccupied to pay him any attention, and his father wasn’t even in the picture. It didn’t stop him from trying to win over the Horoshas, though. Everything he did was for the only family he had ever known. That was why it hurt so much more when he found out his whole life was a lie.
You see, Horosha Kossori DID have a father. In fact, his father was someone of great importance within the clan. All along, while the boy was forced to fight his battles alone, he could have had the very Gypsy King himself protecting his back. It might not seem like such a big deal to most; after all, it’s not every day a guy finds out he’s royalty. To Kossori, however, this was the ultimate betrayal. His entire life, he had looked up to the lying scum that was his king. When times were tough, he always looked towards the older male for guidance. It even got to the point where Kossori considered the man his honorary father.
…and all the while, the truth was kept from him. When the young gypsy first discovered the treachery committed by his parents, he was pissed. When he confronted his mother about the fact that she lied to him all these years and she had the nerve to get angry at HIM, he was outraged. Eventually, it got to the point where he had to leave. He left the clan first, shredding any sign that he ever belonged to that seething cesspool of carnal sin. He then left the city where he first discovered the lie that had shaped his entire life. Eventually, he even left the country itself. Konoha and the rest of the Fire Country could have the Horoshas. Kossori would make a new life for himself in Kirigakure, the village hidden in the mists. There he hoped to cool down the flames of hatred that had consumed his heart. It wasn’t even hard to do, thanks to dear old Dad. After all, Kossori was trained as a spy and had picked up all the trades of a rogue. It was simple enough to pay off a family struggling to make ends meet. It was simpler still to prove his birthright for shinobi training. Now it was simply a matter of letting the past die and moving on to a bright and shining future.[/spoilername]

---
Temporized Slash - Delayed Sword Strike
Performed by sheathing their sword in invisible chakra and slashing, the Nanjirou seals the wound right away through the use of the chakra and causes it to go unnoticed by the victim until they choose to release the chakra and open the wound.
