Name: Ryuu Tengokai Tama
Age: 12
Personality: Tama is more aligned with the thinking type but has the instinct to continue increasing his own physical prowess. Unlike most brainy types the boy prides himself in being able to physically keep up with the students his age while also being able to shamelessly outsmart them. Yet he knows deep down that his glory days will end with becoming Genin as he watches those around him grow stronger as they age further into their years. To spite his predictive future of being the “smart guy” Tama has vowed to continue to enhance his own body and technique through either odd-ball ninja techniques and forbidden science.
Since, however, his methods would undoubtedly be shunned by the general populace he tends to be a bit offish in general society; it is only those close to the boy that get to know his true creative nature. Though it is still a nature that usually revolves around him tinkering with things and becoming even more withdrawn.

History: Tama’s history is, even at best, an odd tale.
It all begins long ago with the creation of the Ryuu Clan – a nomadic group of people with no family ties that worshiped dragon deities, and while their prayers were often unheeded the faith was an unshakable one. The very bases of their nomadic lifestyle was through their faith that as they traveled they would eventually come upon a relic that could take them to their god’s realm.
Within that clan, though, were some of the most powerful warriors of their time. Often they would pick up random jobs that either the Villages couldn’t attend to, or were too weak of power to handle themselves. The clan was famous for their large list of secret sealing techniques, powerful offensive elemental jutsu, and lost martial art styles that were only carried on through the clan by the random stragglers they picked up as the nomadic people made their pilgrimage across the land. Everyone was able to relate to the other in some way or fashion and it was made them a family. Yet after nearly a hundred years of travel through the world the clan picked up two stragglers that would shake the very core of the clan down to its knees.
Karagan and Tengokai – A female exorcist from the Mist country and a wild but intelligent male lightning wielder from the Cloud country. The two were at constant odds every day for years as the clan teased them for being lovers before the two finally did become just that. Together they created a son that was the last “true Ryuu” of the clan Tama, and in that same year destroyed the clan from the inside out.
Tengokai was voted to become the next Chief of the clan after proving his power, knowledge, and extensive faith through a set of trails that was to be completed by every chief hopeful, but his reign was short lived. Upon becoming the clan head he was given knowledge that was passed down from every leader and inside that knowledge was a dark truth behind the clan and the location of a weapon they were charged with protecting.
The Blade of Ash was a black sword that had struck down more than just innocent lives but was said to be the cause of some of the greatest calamities in history. The wielder of this blade was instantly granted all the knowledge and powers of its previous owners and with each new owner comes greater destruction. By theory and legend the next man to find that weapon would become the very harbinger of the apocalypse – Tengokai saw it as the savior of the Ryuu Clan. Within the years before his ascension to power a lot of the Villages began to grow ever more powerful and the requests that kept the clan nomadic were all starting to dry up. They were losing followers daily and within another few years the Ryuus would be yet just another page in history.
So for the first time the clan broke rule and deviated from their normal pilgrimage to travel far into the north, chartering a boat that would take them to an uncharted island near the top of the world. In those frozen wastelands the clan began to dwindle daily, not from people turning away but from death. The mad quest of their new chief was what saw the near utter destruction of his people, though it was merciful to what befell them next. Tama was but a fourteen month old child when his father discovered the Blade of Ash and remembered nothing of the destruction that was wrought on the unsuspecting stalwarts of the clan as his father fell into the inevitable madness of the weapon. Karagan and Tama were the only two survivors of this attack, his mother’s precognitive abilities alerting her only minutes before Tengokai descended from the lone mountain on the island and slaughtered the remaining clansmen. With this head start the mother was able to get back to the ship and convinced the crew to sail back, claiming that they were the only two surviving members of the clan.
The journey back through the lands was harsh for the mother and child. Not only because the entire clan she traveled with was gone or because of the guilt she felt burdened with by leaving her mate behind, but more because she blamed herself for his fall and the clan’s demise. It was always her pushing Tengokai to keep his intelligence and to keep up his studies that lead him to become the head of a dying clan knowing that he would pursue a way to bring back their once renown prowess. In spite of this she did the same with her own child in the hopes that the intelligence he had inherited would prove to do bring good back into the clan’s fall and possibly their resurrection. Eleven years of traveling around and being turned away from the shelter of most villages that were still know ledged of the clan brought the mother and son duo into the terrible wasteland of the Wind Country. It was a land that their people had outright forsaken due to how inhabitable it was but there was rumored to be an entire civilization that would take them in to complete the physical training that her son would need to rebuild the Ryuu Clan. At the border of the rough terrain Karagan dropped to her knees and sent a silent prayer to her deities in the hope of a safe journey into what was obvious suicide as they barely had enough supplies to carry them anywhere. However it wasn’t the dragon gods that answered her, but the motherly spirit of the woman who had helped the First Men find their home. Through her Karagan was given visions of where to go, when to travel and when to seek shelter, and how to find nourishment. It was a slow journey but eventually, battered and torn, the two found themselves at the entrance to the great maw that would lead them down into the subterranean Village of Sunagakure.
