Character's Physical Description: Long mid-back length golden hair flows down from the man’s head in waves and is oft considered some to be the most beautiful locks in all of Suna. This hair followed by a playful look with his heterochromatic eyes are generally the second and third things everyone notices when looking at the far too beautiful seven foot man. The first is the long worn out white cloak he has fastened around his shoulders. Upon closer inspection most will realize that it's an old lab coat that has been amaturally refurbished into the cloth's current form. He is never seen without it. Generally his clothing ranges from anything he feels like wearing to nothing at all, but, he is always wearing the tattered remains of his lab coat. Apparently it was the last gift given to him by Okibi, and the last remaining personal item to survive from his previous life. In the rare times his body requires rest he often uses this coat as his blanket.
Tama is a ‘wirery’ build type and is considered surprisingly muscular. He wears clothing that don’t appear any looser on him than normal but no one would ever see him as very ‘muscular’ until bare flesh is exposed. Beneath his clothing every muscle has been defined and hand crafted by his own to be in perfect peak shape to as far as the human body is naturally capable of. He is able to maintain this body shape without spending a single moment to physical training due to his special Hybrid form.
Mentality: Tama is of an odd sorts of mind. One would go as far to call him crazy and compare his attitude to that of a cat - uncaring, cruel, and sometimes playful. Yet that is only the surface that he allows people to see. While he goes about pretending not to care about anything, sometimes going as far to make things worse to prove his lack of cares given, he's actually way too concerned. A man known for dramatics and being painfully prideful not a lot of people willingly go near the scientist and ask anything of him, especially since his return to work and despite his sunny disposition at most conversations. It’s like the prey danger sense for Humans triggers in his presence.
Despite this the Tama of the Now manages to keep his head held hide as his pride will have little else. While he tries his hardest not to let it slip he genuinely believes he is better than most of the human race despite how much he struggles to keep himself as humble as possible. His Ancient heritage, despite having far more control over it now, still forces him to often argue with his own brain; sometimes out loud. Also while he no longer has a nasty dislike for the female gender, he still remains in absolute terror of them. Of all the things in his personality he could removed in the recreation of his fleshy brain the man forgot to remove his abstract terror of the Human female gender.

Character History:
Tama was considered a legendary doctor at one time, and is at least still a renown scientist who was the driving genius behind the chakra coil transplant surgery.
As a child he suffered from a curse that was a mix of his heritage's cursed chakra and the awakened Hunger of his unknown Ancient heritage by Mikaboshi. The curse caused the chakra in his body to continuously keep his physical shape in peak conditions at all times meaning he couldn't get sick or suffer weariness. The draw back was he aged at an alarming rate.
Every fight he utilized his chakra he took the chance of aging by years and the endless nights of eternal energy that allowed him to research his craft for days without sleep caused these effects as well, but thankfully slower. The only thing that would slow down the process of aging at all was consuming the souls of humans.
At first the very act of killing was something Tama wasn’t even capable of and just decided to suffer through the hunger pains as he continued to age day by day. Every once in awhile he would come across a dying person in an alley and sit by to wait for their death before sneaking in like a rat to consume their memories and life essence. Despite Mikaboshi’s warnings on viewing a Soul’s memories, the curious boy followed in the steps of his father and committed to his taboos by becoming somewhat addicted to living out the lives of dead people. This contributed later in life his current madness and hard-to-nail personality that can appear to flip at any time.
It wasn't until he was about thirteen that he made a friend during the explosion of one of his more volatile researches, Okibi, did he even start to look at life as something to be part of. Lost for so long in the memories of Dead Suna he had lost himself in the constant expiriements of prodding at life that her vibrant and off-beat additude through his mind off it’s current track of thinking. She had a way of doing that with nearly everyone.
Through her he was able to meet his then idol, Sousuke, and the three formed a kind of friendship; fitting as she was the Kazekage's ward. However not very long after becoming friends she was kidnapped and Tama could only sit back in Suna and watch. Unfortunately, despite the Stewart nearly losing his life, he was unable to find his ward and Okibi remained missing for some time.
During this kidnapping and years of disappearance the scientist had finally worked out a way to stop his cursed aging and put a stopper on the craving for human souls caused by his own chakra wearing him down. Due to the whole of the village being stuck underground the scientists of Suna were always coming up with new inventions and advancing technology as they had little else to do. This sparked something called, ‘The Science Wars’, where rival scientists began trying to kill each other over contracts and fame. Tama, his research mysteriously leaked out, was a target of these attacks as well despite how well he tried to stay out of it all. However, once sucked in, the young scientists ended up transplanting his own chakra coil for an artificial one of his own design first, then later a real one "donated" by a rival scientist. The results was he all but stopped the aging and managed to slow it down to a trickle compared to the normal aging process.
This seemingly nicked the entire curse in the bud and he was able to live a "normal" life despite having aged nearly a decade in the span of two or three years.
Tama and Uzu’s ‘partnership’ also started here but that’s another story.
It was during this time that he was struck with a great sense of depression and loneliness. Having crafted a surgery technique that would change the face of the medical field he had already lived the dream of leaving a mark on the world and now sought out companionship of any kind. All he had known during this time was the Kazekage but to Tama the man was more of an older brother and really only felt like ever bothering the man when it came to science and private projects. He often worried that his very presence would invoke memories of the ward he had lost. Both their lives did change for the better after some time though, as his friend had crawled back from hell itself and back into their village.
Okibi was beaten and was nothing like the girl he had known a few years ago. For the first time since the tragic murder of his mother, he felt his heart ache for another human being. Immediately he dropped all of his research and projects at the time to focus everything he had into her recovery. It was a long road but eventually his efforts showed and despite the fact Tama had grown into a deadly fear of the presence of women, or perhaps because of, she eventually feel in love with the crazy man. He was able to fix her body and calm back the emotional scars of her time spend away kidnapped until she was able to return to public. She was able to chase away his demons and the terror he felt in a person's touch that made his heart soften enough to also finally fall completely head over heels for her. The two shared each other's life for a short couple of years before information about Okibi's capture's location reached them. Sousuke, Tama, and Okibi all went out in a three-man team to destroy the evil that took her away from them.
In the chaos that followed Tama was forced to feed back into the Ancient blood inside of him and devour the soul of a twisted man to survive heavy wounds. Having taken in the soul of another human once again for the first time in years reactivated the curse inside of his body though he wouldn't find out until much later. After the battle against the kidnappers Okibi was reunited with her son that she was unaware of even having, causing suppressed memories to resurface ever harder about everything she had been through here.
The emotional trauma of the entire mission was a weight that pulled on them all heavy even as they devised a way to break past the Cabal's attack on their village that happened while they were away. Unsure of their place in the world now and a weight of responsibility they were unprepared for in the Cabale attack the two decided to leave her child behind with Sousuke and disappeared into the desert to find a life away from the military...or so they would have. Unfortunately for Tama the soul he had tried to consume came back up like bad heartburn and took control of his body. His physical form attack Okibi and after a fierce fight, and nearly beating her own lover to death, the wolf-child’s mind snapped. The last thing he remembered of her was walking into the Malestrom to never be seen again. Away from any help and stuck moments from dying the man looked into the stormy sky and reflected on his life as he prepared to die.
Or so he thought.
Years after the battle for Sunagakure and rising to the surface Tama awoke from a deep slumber in the run down ruins of his house’s secret basement. He was sealed inside of a chamber that was placing his body in a sort of stasis via a mysterious fluid. When emerged from his slumber the man found himself in the body of an elder. There were no memories of anything past walking into the desert with Okibi. He also had no control over his own body as it seemed to move around as the Soul that came back had managed to take control of the scientist. In his awakening he was met with another of the Ancients he had been unaware of even existing, Shiori. She saw through the deception of the thing that woke up with Tama's body. The soul of evil that he had attempted to devour years ago thought itself in full control of the scientist's body. It boasted to the Ancient before him how it had forced Tama's lover to attack him and beat him nearly to death. The willpower of the scientist's soul woke up after seeing the memories being played in his own mind and with use of the Ancient powers he still could still barely touch, managed to dissolve and consume the Uchiha's soul. It reversed some of the aging a little, but his mind was still dodgy. Taking advantage of that Shiori decided to aim this man at Sousuke, the Kazekage and friend to Tama whom he had turned his back on. She claimed that he had stole his child and raised it as his own. While something about the entire thing sounded weird he decided it could be true enough at the time and went along with it.
In the short few months following his awakening Tama slowly began to go mad without the presence of Okibi there to balance him out. The idea that his best friend had stolen his child became more and more vivid until in desperation to gain enough power to face the Kazekage he called on the devil himself: Mikaboshi. The two had something of an odd Master/Student relationship as the Ancient since he was the one who tapped the hidden powers flowing through Tama's body when he was a child. In a gamble for power or death he asked his master if there was a way to force out the power of his Ancient side completely. With a wicked look and an all too ready willingness to do so he agreed to drag the power out of Tama or kill him trying. Thankfully for the scientist his amazing willpower held through the battle and was able to draw out the latent Ancient energy into the forefront of his being after reassembling his body from mortal to energy. However the immortal being demanded that now he had this power he was not allowed to attack Sousuke no mater what. Being that he was merely a Hybrid, a form of Ancient energy held together by a Human Soul, the newly formed being forced himself to bend.
Having destroyed his body and reforging it the Ryuu was able to retain his main personality and memories but truth was he was now entirely something else all together. His power over the sky itself was far more than he was willing to waste on a mortal child that might be his and soon his cares for Sousuke faded away. The cares for Okibi, country, and fellow man had all but vanished as well and so until he could decide what it was he did care for, so would he. The scientist left the village for some time and traveled the desert for years looking for that answer.
What came of it was a slow rise to power in the Underground.
With the power of the Solar Courts at his fingertips he also felt the Court’s stinging pride and the need to control and rule over something. He descended into the Black Market first and seized control of key businesses and trade routes that kept the current crime lords of the time where they were. Then, one by one, the hybrid slowly murdered all of them. The last one took his life long before the Death Storm, as they were calling the malevolent specter, could. With no one to oppose him he spent the next decade quietly creating an empire beneath the city that was trying to move on and forget their life down there. Eventually the scientist would begin to pick at Sousuke and mess with the ANBU but finally slipped up when someone started circulating his name into the public again after it had gone unmentioned for over three years. He appeared before the ex-Kazekage and his, then unknown to him, half-brother. After kidnapping a random stranger and declaring war he slipped back to the Underground to wait for his old friend to inevitably attack.
Truth of the matter was the Hybrid was bored, his memories were bitterly returning stronger as the Human Soul hated how the Ancient side was controlling his new body. The being was ready to die. Something about his life had completely changed when Mikaboshi transformed his body and he took on a form of energy. Something in his mind had lost a spark and no matter how much he controlled it never felt like enough. He had hoped that Takahashi Sousuke would give him an end; instead he brought with him a reason to live.
Toraono Michino in a twist of events, revealed himself through a chakra signature to be related to the Ryuu during the bloody battle between the Hybrid and the Steward. The chakra signal triggered Okibi’s voice in the back of his mind and for the longest time Tama would believe Michino his son until paranoia and pride would dictate he find out otherwise.
The Hybrid was captured, taken to court, tried, and put under a house arrest under the Steward’s watchful eye. He was only spared as his humanity had finally started to return in his last few moments when he thought death was certain for either himself or his son. In a strange twist Mikaboshi ended up saving both their lives and no doubt had a silent hand in keeping his student out of prison as well despite his numerous illegal deeds.
In the year that followed he was kept under the supervision of Sousuke in his own home so as to kick his nasty habit of eating human souls and switch to something less...evil. He was forced into a community service to work on all the mysterious cases in the hospital backlogs while under roof, and in that time the scientist revealed himself to be a general jack-ass with absolutely no father skills to speak of. The newly joined father and ‘son’ spent the entire year fighting and hating each other due to their wildly different personalities and views. Despite the Steward and even Judori’s attempts to mend the relationship it never came to being any deeper than just what they were by name; related. After his time was up and Sousuke could vouch that he was at the very least no longer a threat to Suna they unfroze his old bank accounts and allowed him to purchase his own home once more. As if to spite Sousuke and his family Tama bought the closest house he could get.
Shortly after the man turned a birthday party on its head and ostracized himself from both the Takahashi household and the Toraono in a single move. The man revealed that Michino was his half-brother, ruining the poor guy’s life even more than it already was, and shortly after committed himself to the lab in his garage. For months not a soul saw his face or wild silver hair as he worked on creating a new body that would house his human soul and bring his Ancient side under his full control to keep from ever allowing, ‘That Day’, to happen again. He had just finished writing the last scroll-work on an ancient piece of paper needed for his transformation when, through a reliable source called his ‘Oh Shit’ detector, felt the presence of his long-lost father. The idea that Tengokai existed still was something that haunted him but not something the scientist gave much thought too to keep from distracting him. Now the man was mysteriously back and he had a feeling wasn’t after his eldest son this time.
After an hour of putting yen in the right hands the Hybrid found that his brother was at a fancy restaurant in the Crystal District. He hurried to the place as fast as he could but by the time he made it the evil inside was already making his moves. Placed in a horrible disadvantage again, just like he was when faced against Teng last time, the Hybrid was forced to make the ultimate sacrifice to keep his dear friend Sousuke from receiving a blow that might have killed him. Teng absorbed his eldest’s son’s soul and just like Tama once did, took a portion of the scientist’s late-life memories to better fight the Steward.
Thankfully Michino found the scroll that Tama had invested months of work into and used it in self defense as he had barely managed to transcribe even a part of it in time. Teng’s arm and black energy was directly absorbed into the scroll after he removed it himself before transforming in a bid to escape the strange paper that seemed to be eating his soul.
The scroll drew everything it could of Tama’s Soul, and any other Soul Teng was using for spare energy and trapped it all down into the seal to be reconfigured; all it needed was one last ingrediant. Moments after his brother’s blood splattered against it to activate the last trigger, the Ninjutsu written on it crackled to life. Using the DNA coding of the Ryuu from Michino's blood combined with his Soul formed the core of this body. The Solar Court powers that had been drawn from his bloodline became enhanced under the power and endurance natural to the Toraono DNA now mixed in. The Ancient Energy called to all the Souls that had been absorbed into the scroll along with Tama's to reconstruct his body back into a mortal form. The careful work placed into the scroll rapidly reconstructed his body using the highest levels of Ninjutsu and Science until the golden light that had exploded from the scroll revealed a nude reborn Ryuu Tama - around the age he was when he left Suna with Okibi.
All of his memories of everything post walking into the desert with Okibi were absorbed by his father in a bid for strategy leaving the scroll to decipher what little memories were left and create the almost perfect body. Had the scientist retained the memories of creating the scroll he possibly could of been able to activate everything subconsciously and might have even recreated himself as a full-blooded Ancient, but, due to the battle and desperation he was instead given a second chance at his life; far more than most men in his disposition get. In the return of his life his power has taken on a special property that separates him even further from the shinobi community. His chakra is being produced not by himself, but purely by his Ancient side causing it to take on a translucent form when used. Every last jutsu he uses has a strange clear property while simultaneously bordered in a color similar to the original form of the element. I.E. his fire jutsu have a red and orange border to the flames while the bulk of the heat itself is a translucent orange.
As a child he suffered from a curse that was a mix of his heritage's cursed chakra and the awakened Hunger of his unknown Ancient heritage by Mikaboshi. The curse caused the chakra in his body to continuously keep his physical shape in peak conditions at all times meaning he couldn't get sick or suffer weariness. The draw back was he aged at an alarming rate.
Every fight he utilized his chakra he took the chance of aging by years and the endless nights of eternal energy that allowed him to research his craft for days without sleep caused these effects as well, but thankfully slower.

With no one to oppose him he spent the next decade quietly creating an empire beneath the city that was trying to move on and forget their life down there. Eventually the scientist would begin to pick at Sousuke and mess with the ANBU but finally slipped up when someone started circulating his name into the public again after it had gone unmentioned for over three years. He appeared before the ex-Kazekage and his, then unknown to him, half-brother. After kidnapping a random stranger and declaring war he slipped back to the Underground to wait for his old friend to inevitably attack.
Truth of the matter was the Hybrid was bored, his memories were bitterly returning stronger as the Human Soul hated how the Ancient side was controlling his new body. The being was ready to die. Something about his life had completely changed when Mikaboshi transformed his body and he took on a form of energy. Something in his mind had lost a spark and no matter how much he controlled it never felt like enough. He had hoped that Takahashi Sousuke would give him an end; instead he brought with him a reason to live.
Toraono Michino in a twist of events, revealed himself through a chakra signature to be related to the Ryuu during the bloody battle between the Hybrid and the Steward. The chakra signal triggered Okibi’s voice in the back of his mind and for the longest time Tama would believe Michino his son until paranoia and pride would dictate he find out otherwise.
The Hybrid was captured, taken to court, tried, and put under a house arrest under the Steward’s watchful eye. He was only spared as his humanity had finally started to return in his last few moments when he thought death was certain for either himself or his son. In a strange twist Mikaboshi ended up saving both their lives and no doubt had a silent hand in keeping his student out of prison as well despite his numerous illegal deeds.
In the year that followed he was kept under the supervision of Sousuke in his own home so as to kick his nasty habit of eating human souls and switch to something less...evil. He was forced into a community service to work on all the mysterious cases in the hospital backlogs while under roof, and in that time the scientist revealed himself to be a general jack-ass with absolutely no father skills to speak of. The newly joined father and ‘son’ spent the entire year fighting and hating each other due to their wildly different personalities and views. Despite the Steward and even Judori’s attempts to mend the relationship it never came to being any deeper than just what they were by name; related. After his time was up and Sousuke could vouch that he was at the very least no longer a threat to Suna they unfroze his old bank accounts and allowed him to purchase his own home once more. As if to spite Sousuke and his family Tama bought the closest house he could get.
Shortly after the man turned a birthday party on its head and ostracized himself from both the Takahashi household and the Toraono in a single move. The man revealed that Michino was his half-brother, ruining the poor guy’s life even more than it already was, and shortly after committed himself to the lab in his garage. For months not a soul saw his face or wild silver hair as he worked on creating a new body that would house his human soul and bring his Ancient side under his full control to keep from ever allowing, ‘That Day’, to happen again. He had just finished writing the last scroll-work on an ancient piece of paper needed for his transformation when, through a reliable source called his ‘Oh Shit’ detector, felt the presence of his long-lost father. The idea that Tengokai existed still was something that haunted him but not something the scientist gave much thought too to keep from distracting him. Now the man was mysteriously back and he had a feeling wasn’t after his eldest son this time.
After an hour of putting yen in the right hands the Hybrid found that his brother was at a fancy restaurant in the Crystal District. He hurried to the place as fast as he could but by the time he made it the evil inside was already making his moves. Placed in a horrible disadvantage again, just like he was when faced against Teng last time, the Hybrid was forced to make the ultimate sacrifice to keep his dear friend Sousuke from receiving a blow that might have killed him. Teng absorbed his eldest’s son’s soul and just like Tama once did, took a portion of the scientist’s late-life memories to better fight the Steward.
Thankfully Michino found the scroll that Tama had invested months of work into and used it in self defense as he had barely managed to transcribe even a part of it in time. Teng’s arm and black energy was directly absorbed into the scroll after he removed it himself before transforming in a bid to escape the strange paper that seemed to be eating his soul.
The scroll drew everything it could of Tama’s Soul, and any other Soul Teng was using for spare energy and trapped it all down into the seal to be reconfigured; all it needed was one last ingrediant. Moments after his brother’s blood splattered against it to activate the last trigger, the Ninjutsu written on it crackled to life. Using the DNA coding of the Ryuu from Michino's blood combined with his Soul formed the core of this body. The Solar Court powers that had been drawn from his bloodline became enhanced under the power and endurance natural to the Toraono DNA now mixed in. The Ancient Energy called to all the Souls that had been absorbed into the scroll along with Tama's to reconstruct his body back into a mortal form. The careful work placed into the scroll rapidly reconstructed his body using the highest levels of Ninjutsu and Science until the golden light that had exploded from the scroll revealed a nude reborn Ryuu Tama - around the age he was when he left Suna with Okibi.
All of his memories of everything post walking into the desert with Okibi were absorbed by his father in a bid for strategy leaving the scroll to decipher what little memories were left and create the almost perfect body. Had the scientist retained the memories of creating the scroll he possibly could of been able to activate everything subconsciously and might have even recreated himself as a full-blooded Ancient, but, due to the battle and desperation he was instead given a second chance at his life; far more than most men in his disposition get. In the return of his life his power has taken on a special property that separates him even further from the shinobi community. His chakra is being produced not by himself, but purely by his Ancient side causing it to take on a translucent form when used. Every last jutsu he uses has a strange clear property while simultaneously bordered in a color similar to the original form of the element. I.E. his fire jutsu have a red and orange border to the flames while the bulk of the heat itself is a translucent orange.
