Name: Akizuki Shiki
Age: 16
Clan: Uchiha (Bloodline not unlocked) (Mother's last name)
Physical Description: A tall, tightly muscled frame adorned by polished bronze skin. A fierce glint in his crimson-colored eyes that mock and belittle any unworthy creature that crosses his gaze. He is a jackal in wolf's clothing, strutting about in ornate dress unbefitting a shinobi. He wants to be recognized, craves the attention he so rightfully deserves as royalty- the beast king of the desert. He adorns a crowned hood atop his head, his feathery alabaster hair flowing down to his shoulders. He carries himself like a monarch,, excessive and exaggerated. He knows full well that he's good looking- a regular Adonis and makes no effort to conceal it. Anywhere he walks becomes his domain. A stage for the masquerading king to perform.
Mental Description: Shiki understands what he is. A sadistic, mocking jackal, silently cackling at the concept of miracles. The idea of working hard, doing your best to work for a better future. It makes him want to retch his guts out. A fairy tail that couldn't possible exist in this cutthroat world. Even as the discarded trash of his clan, he understands this plain simple fact: he was simply born better. By virtue of being born strong, he will always be the rightful king of the dumpster, picking away at the bones of whatever moron thought he could exceed their station. He takes great pride in his abilities. no matter how unearned they might be. Arrogance coating every crow and plumed gesture. He shrinks away from the companionship of any optimistic idiots with dreams of grandeur- they're far too intense, and yet his dream is much the same. A contradiction in wanting to disprove miracles by pushing past the expectations placed upon him with his own power. Even still, he spits on his bloodline's name. He would used it for his own ends and give nothing back in turn. His legacy would be his own. Taking advantage of his highborn status while tarnishing it in the same breath. A king is beholden to nobody.
History: Shiki is a nobody. A mistake. Words he would come to hear throughout his childhood. You see, Shiki had the luxury of being born into a powerful family. The great Uchiha clan, prestigious and filled to the brim with natural born talent. Unfortunately for Shiki his mother was a mistress, a common housemaid serving at his father's estate. His father would come to despise the boy. The constant reminder of his mistake and lack of self-control, a stain on his reputation. Still, he was an Uchiha by blood alone and certain expectations would be placed on him. He would undergo shinobi training from a young age and he felt like he always had it worse. The other children of the clan avoiding him at every corner and the teacher was especially cruel to Shiki. He would grit his teeth and endure alone. He would find no comfort from his father or half-siblings and his mother was forbidden from speaking to him. It pissed him off. Made him petty and spiteful. He wanted to tear it all down, rebel and usurp the mighty Uchiha crown. Something in him finally broke, after years of torture and ridicule. Shiki would become the great pretender, adopting an arrogant royal identity and claw his way to the top of this putrid clan and watch it crumble beneath his heel. He was born better than everyone else- it was about time he started acting like it.
He worked hard to keep up with the rest of his clan, refusing to crack under the pressure, despite never awakening to his clan's bloodline powers. A miracle of vindictive struggle- pride in being a thorn. He was an academy student for a short time, enrolling at a later age than the other kids his age. He would be forced to serve his family, but because he was not of the same pure pedigree of the others. he was purposefully held back despite his capability. Shiki would breeze through the Academy at the age of thirteen, acing all his exams and missions with a trivial amount of effort, becoming a Genin at a brisk speed, inciting an even greater boon to his ego, despite his inability to unlock his clan's cherished Sharingan. He was born better than the rabble that made use of cheap parlor tricks. He had the Uchiha blood and made better use of it than any of them. Shiki was unchallenged precisely because of his father's incessant meddling, his failed attempts to hinder his progress only molding him into an even finer, pointed tool. Maybe that was the intent, but even so the upstart jackal would have the final laugh.
