Character Age: 36
Gender: Looks like a male
Character's Physical Description: Tao looks like a male in his early 20s, long light hair, gray eyes, somewhat pale skin and a slim figure. Physically he appears for all intents and purposes as a regular human being. He however has several layers to him. The outer layer is a thick crust which appears to be human skin, one layer deeper is a pool of chakra, filling the rather hollow section of his body and floating in the center of his chest is an orb of light, Tao's original form. Tao wears a black body suit covering him from neck to toe, well plated - the high tier Kagerenmei body armor. On top of that he wears a reddish brown silk cloak with a thin rope that holds it together on his chest. The robe has a fairly large hood as well.
Character's Mental Description: Tao started off as naive and curious, it is likely that somewhere deep down he is still that person, but due to a series of unfortunate events his prespetion on the world has changed, he wishes to do good although sometimes he might end up taking actions which some might view as extreme or unjust. He wishes to be the one to save the human race from what he views as its primary threat - shinobi. He is however a pacifist at heart, he would rather not harm or kill anyone if possible, but he will fight back, neutralize and even kill others if they threaten someone else's existence. While he is kind in nature, he might find himself being stern with someone if he finds them doing something wrong (from his prespective), this goes double for shinobi. He is also not exactly very adaptive per say, it's more like, he is trying to fit the pieces together depending on his previous experiences.

Character History: Chapter 1: Birth of a Star
Tao's story begins not too long ago, in a place not once touched by the light within the dense woods of the forests at the foot of the many mountain structured outside of the Iwagakure's landscape. A creature that was lurking the woods, radiating with light and guiding lost souls who got lost in those very woods. Not once, it wondered what it was like to be like one of those... creatures that it guided for decades, they made many expressions, many noises that it simply did not understand, or rather it simply couldn't comprehend at all. At some point, it began adapting to those tall creature's language and motions, understanding them purely by being presented with a collection of sounds and hand motions, but never once it actually interacted with them - still, it always wondered, what are they, what was it like to be them, what they were feeling. But the small creature could never achieve it's dream, after all it's whole purpose in life as far as it knew was to be a guide for those who needed it most.
But at some point, the creature's curiosity grew more vast then ever before and an idea popped into it's head, what if it could learn all about these creatures first hand without leaving the woods it was bind to, it would be ideal. While the thought occurred to that curious creature, it couldn't do a thing to realize it. As time past, the imagination of the creature grew more colorful and vivid by the day, and the more it encountered by passers, the more it managed to learn about how they look, how they move and how they speak, it kept rotating images of those humans in it's mind and one day something quite odd happened, an orb of light appeared in front of it, it was small and frail and little did it know that it was the product of the creature's imagination manifested out of the powers the creature knew so little of.
The orb of light constantly rotated around the creature and kept chaising after random creatures that lived in the forest, it kept frightening them off not because it was mean but because it was curious, much like it's parent. But there was this one creature that didn't run away from it, a man with white hair and light skin, lost and broken just like the rest of the humans who passed through the forest, his body was exhausted from the journey and the lack of food and water, but these woods had strange properties that let him keep walking despite all of that. The small orb of light kept dancing around it happily while it was completely ignored by the human who just followed the guide just like the rest. As time passed, the orb of light began changing and growing into various shapes, trying to mimic that odd creature's behavior, at first it had a small star shaped form, where the two bottom ends kept moving as if it was walking, then they became longer and began to bend. And soon enough it became a miniature version of that person, but instead of having skin, it was glowing out with powerful rays of light, still the human never paid any attention to it.
Chapter 2: He who bathes in Light
The small humanoid being, shining ever so brightly kept following the man out of the forest, for some reason, the angelic-like being didn't follow him, instead it stopped somewhere near the end of the woods and went back silently. But the small light being didn't stop, it wanted to know what is that creature who doesn't fear him, why wont he notice him, where was it going. He like his predecessor was extremely curious about the outside world, with little knowledge that he had, he yearned for more information. He was suddenly in a place with so much light, everything seemed to be shining ever so blindingly, after 25 long years of wandering around the deep woods, he couldn't adjust himself to such a different environment. He tried to hide from it and taking cover in shades or under that person's cloths but nothing really helped. Now, the creature started to grow larger every so often, it began to adapt to more complicated shapes like fingers and ankles, slowly turning more and more like the person it followed all this time until it became exactly like him. Still, it was never noticed by anyone, no living soul knew that the small orb of light who later on took a form of a human ever existed in this world. It was odd, while animals could clearly see it, no human managed to see it. It tried to touch them but the moment it made contact with them, it's hand began to fade away. It didn't understand what was wrong with it, it was like a ghost living in the realm of the living.
A year has passed and the man died in an inn near the woods out of some illness, the creature didn't understand why the human stopped moving but it stayed by it's side. Later that day the corpse was found by innkeeper and was removed from the inn discreetly. The being of light kept sticking to the corpse in hope that it'll move again, but it never did, no matter how much time passed, it just kept lying there, motionless and lifeless. The creature at that point began developing skin pigments and began to form a shell around itself to appear as if it was a human, at first it made the outer skin, then the hair, then the cloths and the easily visible inner sections of the body like nostrils and mouth. The now completely human-like creature began walking around town, looking for more humans to follow, it wanted to learn more, it wanted to interact with someone since it practically knew nothing about the world as a whole. But now unlike before, humans could see him, they tried to talk to him but he couldn't understand them so it tried to make random noises in response which lead to confusion on both ends. What it did notice is that there was a specific collection of sounds that continued to repeat in every conversations, Ta-O. That was the first word it learned to pronounce which later on became it's name, the name of the man who died not too long ago and suddenly was walking around again as if it was reborn into a clueless creature.
Chapter 3: A new life filled with Terror
Tao, a creature who has recently established it's own identity and slowly began learning about the world. Little did it know that the world isn't as colorful and blissful as he initially thought as a new group of people has entered the town. They had large carriages and colorful cloths. They preformed something similar to unbelievable acts of acrobatics and agility, what would later on be known to him as a circus. While watching their show, he was accidently pushed off balance and tripped over his own foot, but while he didn't feel any pain as he didn't even know what pain was, his skin shattered and from the shatters came faint light of the creature that was hiding inside that shell the whole time. The performers took a special note to that and took him in under their wing to travel along with them being the freak of nature that he was. Tao often found himself locked within a cage, lifted up with chains above the ground and had his skin repeatedly shattered with the hits of a whip to expose the light from within his body, but now something was different. Almost instinctively Tao thickened his skin so that not only wont it break as easily as before, but also it won't expose him for who he really was. He didn't emit light anymore, it made the ring leader quite furious as he was losing money because of the poor execution of his acts. Tao got frightened when he was shouted at and as a defensive mechanism he began to emit light out of his skin, making him glow from his entire body, starting from his hair and eyes and then quickly covering everything else. The crowd was raging with excitement and the ring leader was pleased, but Tao had little understanding of what transpired on that day, all he knew that people will be happy if he shines at them. And so he did, the moment the curtains were off of his cage, he would begin to shine brightly and the crowd would get ecstatic.
A couple of years passed by and they have traveled long and wide, by then Tao was already given a nick name: "The living lantern" or "The star of the show" because his unusual affinity to light. At this point, Tao already managed to learn the commonly spoken language and some basic mannerisms like bow before the master, bring the master a whip when he is angry with which he would hit Tao repeatedly until he is satisfied and cook for the crew and never disobey them. He was more like a slave to them now, rather than being a performer. He would often listen to their conversations from afar while trying to not get caught. They often were speaking about how they steal from others and how funny it is to see them cluelessly walking away without knowing what actually happened. Tao never even once wondered why he had to serve them and why it was okay to being treated the way they treated him. Over the years he has been with them, he managed to encounter more slaves who were kidnapped by them before, they always had a frightened expression, especially when they saw the whip, it was almost as if they were mere animals in the eyes of the crew, objects to that could be used and disposed off as they saw fit.
Chapter 4: First Step
With time, Tao became attached to his fellow slaves, he shared meals with them despite the fact that he never actually had the need to feed and conversed with them as much as the liked. He was like the single ray of light within their empty dark lives that gave them the strength to keep going. But on one faithful night a horrible tragedy occurred. One of the slaves tripped while serving the ring lord his food and spilled it on the ground, the ring lord picked up his whip and began hitting the slave repeatedly. To Tao it was common sense that the slave would be hit, after all it was her fault that she tripped, so he was taught at least. But the ring lord didn't stop hitting, he was especially angry on that night for reasons unknown to Tao. A hit after hit, the girl twitched on the ground, she screamed in pain until she bite her tongue off and died from choking on her own blood. Tao for the first time felt anger, his entire being was shaken by the sight of the poor girl dying and he could not cope with that new emotion, it was consuming to the point where he couldn't control himself. Light erupted from his body in pulses, they began to shift the metallic bars surrounding his cage sideways until it broke down. He began to walk towards the ring lord who just noticed the broken cage, he couldn't believe that his obedient tool broke one of his cages, he didn't understand why he would do such a thing now of all times, but he did know this; he was frightened, if Tao could break the cage, he could break him too. So, he ran and shouted out for help.
Tao, enraged for the first time in his life didn't know what to do, he felt like he had to avenge the poor girl's death, he wanted to hurt that man so badly. Tao began running at him, chasing him down the roads and pushing away anyone who would get in the way. It didn't take him too long to reach the ring lord, he wasn't running that fast anyway. Tao pinned him to the ground, his expression twisted with anger and his eyes opened widely. He began radiating light, brighter then ever before, but unlike before where it was entirely harmless, it crushed the man and the ground under him, blood splattered all around him in a neat red circle, but Tao couldn't stop there, he kept on pushing further and further, he didn't know how to fight yet, but he had the next best thing, waves of energy that apparently pushed so powerfully that it'd crush the man's bones and grid him into dust. Tao, now covered in blood from top to bottom got up and look around. He very quickly calmed down after the man turned into a puddle of blood and flesh, but apparently everyone around him was frightened by him. "Monstar!" that word kept repeating around him, a word he heard for the first time up to that point in his life. People were throwing stones at him and wishing him to disappear. All Tao could do was go away, he couldn't stand being hated, he wasn't built that way. And to this day, he keeps wandering alone to an unknown destination, in hope to find someone new to follow
Chapter 5: A New Earthy Home.
Tao found himself in front of a set of large gates, he was not sure what he was looking at, with all of the people freely walking around him, minding their own business and these men in uniform wearing shiny metallic plates on their foreheads. Tao addressed them, but they requested to see his identification, Tao was not able to supply anything of that sort, he didn't even know what that was. However someone from within the village came in and let Tao enter, this person took Tao to his mansion and let him stay there as long as he needed. Under this person’s supervision, Tao started to acquaint himself with the village. Slowly he started to learn what it meant to live in that place, who were those people, what was this mysterious language they were speaking underground and so on. He also learned about these military people patrolling all over the village with those shiny metallic headbands, they were called stone shinobi, granted it was after the name of the village. These people who have wonderful powers who could have helped anyone in need decided to use their powers more as a defensive measure against intruders to the village, that is what Tao thought at the very least. He met with some of these people throughout the time he spent in the village. Most of them were actually fairly pleasant, some of them were rather rough but overall they all seemed mostly harmless. Tao started studying under Satsu, the person who brought him into the village and let him stay in his mansion, he learned the various shinobi arts as well as what can be done with them, besides the fact that these powers were designed for the purpose of overwhelming, overpowering and flat out killing, they could also be used to help those in need, to create shelter, to give food and water and so on, it could help end death due to poverty in the village, but none of these shinobi people cared.
Chapter 6: The Kagerenmei and The Ugly Face of Shinobi
Tao learned that he has a gift as well, he could help people recover with his chakra manipulation, something that could only be achieved through intense training in that shinobi army, that along with a series of events lead to Tao and his good friend Satsu to establish a new organization in the village, working independently from the shinobi force. This organization was designed to help those who were in need, to create jobs and to make people’s life better as a whole. The organization grew immensely, it seemed small on the surface but in reality it had a very large following to it, they were making innovations within the technology of the shinobi world in form of protective gear, personal transportation and chakra weaponization, but due to the nature of their research it was kept hidden in an underground facility. Satsu, one of the co-founders of the organization managed to locate his brother, Nao, a person who was added to the high brass of the ranks within the organization due to his connections with one of the founders, while he seemed to be a calm and collected person who held everyone’s interests above his own, he seemed to be scheming behind the scenes. He used his tactics to secretly recruit Kagerenmei operatives into his ranks and one day he went missing. He later started to influence the people who remained with the organization and started sabotaging it. This resulted into a clash between two forces who were ultimately fighting for the same thing and resulted in the deaths of most of the members. Besides a select few who scattered across the globe, Satsu and Nao both disappeared. Tao saw this man who was “a true shinobi” rip what was effectively a group of people fighting for the betterment of mankind into shreds, just on his own personal whim, he then started to consider what else can these things do, these shinobi… “True shinobi” to be exact.
Chapter 7: The Shadow Snake And The Path To Closure
Tao returned to the village years later, he found the old organization grounds in ruins, the corpses of his old comrades scattered across the what once was a battlefield, completely untouched, this remote area of the village, Tao made crystal graves for each of the corpses and gave them a proper burial. He engraved each of their name onto the tombstones he created and began to rest, weakened and distorted, he was caught off guard by a lingering presence of what seemed to be an inky black snake, that thing started speaking into Tao’s mind and started to engulf him in its inky black mass until Tao was completely consumed, that thing took over Tao’s body as a whole and possessed him, started walking in his place and speaking with his voice, his appearance was altered slightly but it was still the same man. Tao could see and hear everything that was going on but could do nothing about it, this creature who possessed him started laying traps for young shinobi to ensnare them too and take them for himself. He hurt many people while Tao was left there to stare at the destruction this creature left behind, he used all of these shinobi arts that the stone military was wielding with pride, he saw a scene where corpses were piling up at his feet due to his own terrifying power, the power which was explained to him was what it takes to be “the true shinobi” a machine of death and destruction.Tao was eventually able to break free from the shadow snake’s influence and cast it aside, but he could never forget the horrors that he witnessed during this whole time, these creatures that were calling themselves “shinobi”, they are capable of doing everything the shadow snake did and more, he saw children blowing fireballs which immediately reminded him of the houses the shadow snake set ablaze, these children could become just like him, on a whim and a set of hand gestures they could set the lives of many people on fire, to kill many innocent lives. Tao understood that the thing that endangers the lives of humans were: “True Shinobi”.
Tao set out to eliminate the only person who he knew refers to himself as such, the one man who started the vicious cycle in Tao’s life, and upon some investigation, he found out that this person might be hiding in the hidden village of sand, further up north in the great deserts. Tao however was never truly great at navigation, he got lost on the way, he wandered around in the deserts for 6 years until he finally found a great structure which had an enormous hole behind it, now that he finally found a place with some form of civilization he was determined to use the people there to find his way to Suna and by extent he’d be able to get closer to finding Nao..

Tao, enraged for the first time in his life didn't know what to do, he felt like he had to avenge the poor girl's death, he wanted to hurt that man so badly. Tao began running at him, chasing him down the roads and pushing away anyone who would get in the way. It didn't take him too long to reach the ring lord, he wasn't running that fast anyway. Tao pinned him to the ground, his expression twisted with anger and his eyes opened widely. He began radiating light, brighter then ever before, but unlike before where it was entirely harmless, it crushed the man and the ground under him, blood splattered all around him in a neat red circle, but Tao couldn't stop there, he kept on pushing further and further, he didn't know how to fight yet, but he had the next best thing, waves of energy that apparently pushed so powerfully that it'd crush the man's bones and grid him into dust. Tao, now covered in blood from top to bottom got up and look around. He very quickly calmed down after the man turned into a puddle of blood and flesh, but apparently everyone around him was frightened by him. "Monstar!" that word kept repeating around him, a word he heard for the first time up to that point in his life. People were throwing stones at him and wishing him to disappear. All Tao could do was go away, he couldn't stand being hated, he wasn't built that way. And to this day, he keeps wandering alone to an unknown destination, in hope to find someone new to follow
Chapter 5: A New Earthy Home.
Tao found himself in front of a set of large gates, he was not sure what he was looking at, with all of the people freely walking around him, minding their own business and these men in uniform wearing shiny metallic plates on their foreheads. Tao addressed them, but they requested to see his identification, Tao was not able to supply anything of that sort, he didn't even know what that was. However someone from within the village came in and let Tao enter, this person took Tao to his mansion and let him stay there as long as he needed. Under this person’s supervision, Tao started to acquaint himself with the village. Slowly he started to learn what it meant to live in that place, who were those people, what was this mysterious language they were speaking underground and so on. He also learned about these military people patrolling all over the village with those shiny metallic headbands, they were called stone shinobi, granted it was after the name of the village. These people who have wonderful powers who could have helped anyone in need decided to use their powers more as a defensive measure against intruders to the village, that is what Tao thought at the very least. He met with some of these people throughout the time he spent in the village. Most of them were actually fairly pleasant, some of them were rather rough but overall they all seemed mostly harmless. Tao started studying under Satsu, the person who brought him into the village and let him stay in his mansion, he learned the various shinobi arts as well as what can be done with them, besides the fact that these powers were designed for the purpose of overwhelming, overpowering and flat out killing, they could also be used to help those in need, to create shelter, to give food and water and so on, it could help end death due to poverty in the village, but none of these shinobi people cared.
Chapter 6: The Kagerenmei and The Ugly Face of Shinobi
Tao learned that he has a gift as well, he could help people recover with his chakra manipulation, something that could only be achieved through intense training in that shinobi army, that along with a series of events lead to Tao and his good friend Satsu to establish a new organization in the village, working independently from the shinobi force. This organization was designed to help those who were in need, to create jobs and to make people’s life better as a whole. The organization grew immensely, it seemed small on the surface but in reality it had a very large following to it, they were making innovations within the technology of the shinobi world in form of protective gear, personal transportation and chakra weaponization, but due to the nature of their research it was kept hidden in an underground facility. Satsu, one of the co-founders of the organization managed to locate his brother, Nao, a person who was added to the high brass of the ranks within the organization due to his connections with one of the founders, while he seemed to be a calm and collected person who held everyone’s interests above his own, he seemed to be scheming behind the scenes. He used his tactics to secretly recruit Kagerenmei operatives into his ranks and one day he went missing. He later started to influence the people who remained with the organization and started sabotaging it. This resulted into a clash between two forces who were ultimately fighting for the same thing and resulted in the deaths of most of the members. Besides a select few who scattered across the globe, Satsu and Nao both disappeared. Tao saw this man who was “a true shinobi” rip what was effectively a group of people fighting for the betterment of mankind into shreds, just on his own personal whim, he then started to consider what else can these things do, these shinobi… “True shinobi” to be exact.
Chapter 7: The Shadow Snake And The Path To Closure
Tao returned to the village years later, he found the old organization grounds in ruins, the corpses of his old comrades scattered across the what once was a battlefield, completely untouched, this remote area of the village, Tao made crystal graves for each of the corpses and gave them a proper burial. He engraved each of their name onto the tombstones he created and began to rest, weakened and distorted, he was caught off guard by a lingering presence of what seemed to be an inky black snake, that thing started speaking into Tao’s mind and started to engulf him in its inky black mass until Tao was completely consumed, that thing took over Tao’s body as a whole and possessed him, started walking in his place and speaking with his voice, his appearance was altered slightly but it was still the same man. Tao could see and hear everything that was going on but could do nothing about it, this creature who possessed him started laying traps for young shinobi to ensnare them too and take them for himself. He hurt many people while Tao was left there to stare at the destruction this creature left behind, he used all of these shinobi arts that the stone military was wielding with pride, he saw a scene where corpses were piling up at his feet due to his own terrifying power, the power which was explained to him was what it takes to be “the true shinobi” a machine of death and destruction.Tao was eventually able to break free from the shadow snake’s influence and cast it aside, but he could never forget the horrors that he witnessed during this whole time, these creatures that were calling themselves “shinobi”, they are capable of doing everything the shadow snake did and more, he saw children blowing fireballs which immediately reminded him of the houses the shadow snake set ablaze, these children could become just like him, on a whim and a set of hand gestures they could set the lives of many people on fire, to kill many innocent lives. Tao understood that the thing that endangers the lives of humans were: “True Shinobi”.
Tao set out to eliminate the only person who he knew refers to himself as such, the one man who started the vicious cycle in Tao’s life, and upon some investigation, he found out that this person might be hiding in the hidden village of sand, further up north in the great deserts. Tao however was never truly great at navigation, he got lost on the way, he wandered around in the deserts for 6 years until he finally found a great structure which had an enormous hole behind it, now that he finally found a place with some form of civilization he was determined to use the people there to find his way to Suna and by extent he’d be able to get closer to finding Nao..
