Name: Zansatsu
Alias: The Evil God of Slaughter (self-proclaimed; has yet to be proven true or false); Leech (Shin's nickname for him)
Type: Demonic Possession/Jinchuuriki
Age: 11 yo
Gender: Male
Appearance said:Standing at about 3'7" and 40 lbs, Shin is quite short yet healthy for an eleven year old. The bones that once protruded from his frail frame have receded and his once pale complexion has regained its youthful luster. His white hair is kept short and spiky, thanks in part to his foster mother Isaki Karei wanting him to look presentable. But perhaps the most notable attribute of his appearance are his eyes: their crimson iris, translucent sclera, and constant bloodshot condition have condemned him from society's acceptance since birth.
His garb consists of traditional white shinobi attire with a black belt and bandolier combo.
Personality said:After opening up to his foster father, Isaki Kushin, and learning about his own demonic possession by Zansatsu, Shin has become more human in how he behaves and interacts with other people. That isn't to say that Shin isn't a passive-aggressive wildcard anymore: in fact, due to both his mission and his condition, he often makes decisions that are morally questionable, which tend to increase tension between him and others.
[spoilername="Before Bloodline Awakening"]Name: Akatora Shin
Age: 8 yo
Gender: Male
Appearance said:Standing at about 3'4" and 30 lbs, Shin is quite short and thin for an eight year old. His bones protrude from his frail frame, and his pale complexion lacks a luster often found in youth. His white hair is a long, tangled mess from never being washed or cut since he was a toddler. But perhaps the most notable attribute of his appearance are his eyes: their crimson iris, translucent sclera, and constant bloodshot condition have condemned him from society's acceptance since birth.
His garb consists mostly of tattered, bloodied bandages that were stolen then wrapped around wounds from fighting stray dogs for scraps. In fact, the only real article of clothing he owns is a pair of dingy briefs.
Personality said:Being shunned by everyone but his parents at such an susceptible age has made Shin bitter, cynical, and delusional; murdering his parents only amplified his sociopathic tendencies. Although he is quite capable of speaking and walking normally, he prefers to communicate via gestures and grunts and moving on all fours like a monkey.
Most disturbing of all his tendencies, however, is the passive-aggressive relationship he has with his teddy bear. Whenever his rage has reached its limit, he takes the kunai he killed his parents with and shreds his teddy bear into pieces; whenever his sorrow overcomes his rage, he patches his teddy bear back up and whispers, "Sumimasen, Okami-sama".
[/spoilername]Backstory said:Born to modest working-class citizens and with a recessive hereditary disease, Shin lived an ignorant and blissful life with his parents up until the age of three. That was when his family decided to take him back out into society on a trip to one of Okami's many shrines; when society first rejected him as the spawn of evil itself. His parents, although persistent in their efforts to educate their son and his adversaries about his natural condition, neither party believed them.
At the age of five, Shin came to a conclusion that if he was the spawn of evil itself, that maybe society would forgive him if he destroyed the evil from whence he came. Thus he took a kunai from his father's weaponry closet, slit his mother's throat, then stabbed father twenty times. He ran out of the house screaming, "I'm a good boy! See! I killed evil!"
But instead of being accepted like he had hoped, society further rejected him calling him a monster, a bastard, and various other names. Although he was taken to a psychiatric ward, he managed to escape and live on the outskirts of the civilization.
For three years, he struggled to survive. Then the day came where he discovered the gates of Kumogakure-no-Sato. There, the ANBU guarding the gates treated him with an indifference that astonished Shin. Intrigued, he ventured into the village under the watchful eye of an ANBU escort and learned more about the ninja way of life.
And thus, the road to redemption began ...

Name: Zansatsu
Alias: The Evil God of Slaughter (self-proclaimed; has yet to be proven true or false); Leech (Shin's nickname for him)
Type: Demonic Possession/Jinchuuriki
Personality said:Zansatsu is cruel and vicious, manipulating his hosts to wreak havoc and mayhem against their better judgement. Although his power is immeasurable, he is unable to dominate a conscious host's will, and thus relies on mind games and subliminal suggestions to influence his host's actions.
Origin said:Many eons ago--or so the legend goes--there existed a single demon who dared to oppose Jashin and claim the Evil God's domain as his own. Jashin, having much more power and influence than this demon, defeated him with ease and cursed him to roam the mortal realm, forever unable to quench his thirst for human blood.
But the demon would not give up so easily, and thus turned his punishment into a boon as he ravaged entire countries and slaughtered countless people, the sheer brutality of his actions influencing other demons to defect to his side.
Having enough of this insolence, Jashin and his forces met with the demon and his forces once more and fought for four straight days. In the end, though, Jashin was once again victorious. As an additional punishment, Jashin executed all of the traitorous demons and willed the demon who dare defy him the first place to become a demonic parasite; a shell of his former self.
That demon was Zansatsu.
Relation to Shin said:[Note: To be expounded upon in the Struggle for Humanity thread]
Some time prior to killing his parents and after being born, Zansatsu was sealed within Akatora Shin as a prototype for Titan Corp's sleeper agent experiments. However, Zansatsu went rogue at an early stage, and the experiment was aborted. Because of Shin's very young age and thus poor memory, he was allowed back into custody of his parents.
