Looks Description:
Always dressed in a traditional kimono garb and with his pipe, Sachi blends in with the drab ever raining or misty Kirigakure perfectly. Being an artist, he sometimes incorporates his own unique designs on his kimono's. His eyes are almost always half open unless excited, probably due to the mists dampening aura. His voice is smooth and calming, ignoring the fact that he is a chain smoker. It almost never raises or lowers, unless he is whispering or influenced with sheer rage. Rarely he will get excited and have outburst, especially in battle. His hair is a very dark brown, practically black and his skin tone dips in the spectrum of pale.

His physique isn't frail or fragile and it's also not very athletic, but he has a fair and healthy build. He doesn't necessarily have a "slot", but he does keep scroll for his puppets inside of his kimono. He always has a lighter on hand and never leaves without one, he also keeps volumes of Shisha and herbs on hand for his pipe. Being a ninja, he does have a special scentless smokes, so he is not traceable. The smoke also notably burns clean, making a white fume that dissolves into the air, but often leaves him unsatisfied.



Personality Description:
Sachi's personality can be seen as laid back and a go with the flow type. That doesn't mean he lets others push him around, but he doesn't mind letting someone lead. He isn't one to stress his opinion constantly, after he says what he needs, if the situation isn't dire, he will not continue to reiterate. Though he appears like a slacker and an emotionless lump, he is very hardworking and actually is as colorful as most.

He knows when and who to show his colors around and to. Sachi's mind is very artistic and subtle, but at times can be very explosive. He is a man that enjoys switching up the pace every now and then. This usually represents itself through his choice of clothing for the day. Maybe he will wear a deep red or maybe a dark and abyssal blue, he doesn't really share his emotions, but those accustomed to him can read him like an open book through this display.

He doesn't pester people and he likes to drop small hints to things, rather than simply give people answers. He believes in sparking ones mind and making them think for their own, rather than walking them through processes. Some see this as a harsh teaching method, but the few students he has had were all excellent upon moving on, being noted as better than most their rank.

Sachi being artistic of course enjoys art. Painting, drawing, philosophies, crafting and much more. He sees the human brain as a beautiful jewel and one that is greater than any technology that can ever be created. Though most consider his creative feats as great work, he still is shy to showcase them and often gets embarrassed when they are spoken of.

Most see him as a blunt being, but some respect his bluntness. He feels telling people how things really are is the true way to go, sugar coating only leads to incompetence and weakness. Sachi does have secrets of his own still and understands a ninja's greatest tool is deceit. Also with some seeing him as blunt, they also see him as condescending and disrespectful. Sachi however is far from it. His blunt ways are committed out of respect, because he would rather someone swallow the truth than a soothing lie.

Assumed to be a loner and uncaring, Sachi is neither of those things. He cares for many people even his enemies to a degree and he values company and friendship. He rarely shows his true self, but most would see him as a completely different being. Passed the silence and somewhat rude words, is a human warmed by his habit of smoking.

History:
Sachio was born in an upper class family as an only child and was considered a blessing. His family line has the odd tendency to bear little children, making him a treasure. He was spoiled and raised as if he were a king. This made children his age often pick on him, because he was spoiled and not the most social being.

Seeing this his parents spoiled him more, metaphorically putting him a hole that would only grow deeper. Being young he didn't care though, he was glad with all of the toys and gadgets his parents were buying him. This is where the love of mechanism and engineering branched from. Eventually he quit trying to socialize with the other kids all together and only tended to his toys, breaking them down and building new ones from the pieces or things he could find. Noticing his love for building contraptions, his parents ever so happy to please him, one day bought him his very own workshop, equipped with all he needed. Wood, metal, lightning, tools, the whole package. At the age of seven Sachio was already making casual trinket puppets and selling them at the Ninja Academy to students, making a business of his own. Of course his teachers didn't approve of him selling things in class, but they did take note of his talent.

As rainy days past with him attending the academy, he eventually made a couple of friends and that soon enough turned into a network of close pals. But with Sachio's above average understanding of physics and other general knowledge, he graduated early, leaving behind his acquaintances. Again he went back to square one, into his workshop, and found company with his puppets. He barely possessed the motivation to do assignments, but as missions slowly trickled into his lap, he was assigned a squad.

One of the best things to happen to the unmotivated Sachio, he met fellow Genin's Kami Uchiha and Shokubai Kurosawa. Both blessed with genetics, Kami the obvious Uchiha talents and Shokubai the blessing of height. Sachi of course, had his mind and of course his high class back ground, but to be equal on the battle field he would have to work extra hard. And work hard he did. Training hard in the day and modifying his puppets at night, Sachi was truly pressing himself to keep up with his allies. With great benefits his hard work paid off. Not only was he keeping up, but he was at times even getting ahead of his competition, truly a feat to be recognized.

More time rolled on and the Chunin Exams came into effect. The squad was tight, in every aspect and felt their promotion was guaranteed. Maybe a bit cocky, but surely not misplaced, they were the pride of Kirigakure and probably feared in other villages. Each Genin was given a title of honor or what most warriors and things would call battle names. The titles never did catch on, but those names were pointless and meant nothing. Names of the such were for the after life, for when children would hear about you in history books.

With little difficulty the group succeeded, but Sachio had lost his lead. Natural talent and hard work easily allowed Kami to surpass Sachio and now being Chunin and the group being split Sachio was back to having no motivation. Of course he heard about his past teammates endeavors, Shokubai's swordsmanship and Kami's genes, but soon Sachio faded away.

Where to? To the confines of his own house. Having more than enough money with a combination of his parents fortune and his earnings from the Exams, he purchased some property and began his puppet business again. Around this period, he also picked up smoking. Only fifteen at the time, it wasn't legal, but people didn't care. Times were hard and he wasn't hurting anyone but himself.

Selling puppets however, wasn't an easy job. Not many needs for them and not many people wanted to buy deadly and armed tools from a fifteen year old. So what was he to do? This made the teen adopt the alias as Poncho. Using a puppet to sell puppets, the middle man was dressed in an all black poncho like garb. The mysteriousness behind the persona, also proved to be a force to draw in more customers. Whether it be for little nick knack puppets or battle ready killers, people came to see what all the commotion was.

Sadly with success and trifling times, comes people who don't want to see others succeed. Sachi's workshop already loaded with large volumes of wood and oil for the rare flamethrower weapon, someone easily set the building ablaze. Luckily being out to meet with his material provider and pick up some things to help his smoking habit, Sachio was unharmed physically. Internally the teen was crushed. All of his art and hard work burning before his very eyes and he could do nothing to save it.

Moving back in with his parents, he began his ninja career again. His goal was to acquire enough money to restart his business, he could easily request the money from his parents and they would more than graciously give it to him, but he wanted to earn it. Just like he earned the title Chunin, he wanted to rebuild his empire from the very ashes they were in.

Upon turning sixteen the teen was immediately promoted to Jounin and shortly after that Anbu. His skills in puppetry really made him a force of versatility and something hard to manage. To great to pass up. Now with more than enough money to pursue his old dream, Sachio however didn't. Maybe it would face the same fate again, but maybe it wouldn't. He didn't really care anymore, but knowing the pain of having a dream crushed, he vowed to try to prevent it from happening to others. Of course a near impossible task, but if you aim high even if you miss you will achieve great things.

Back in the groove of working hard and chasing knowledge, he became a candidate to become Kirigakure's next Anbu Captain. A rank to be respected and feared, truly a privileged, but hard work and a unique fighting style wasn't going to get you in the spot. No, only a more than exceptional member could claim this spot. How would he show the elders he was the right choice?

He wouldn't. Instead he decided to end his time as an Anbu Member and step back down to his position as a Jounin. Rather than continue on to a more secluded and solo path, he decided to go back to a rank he felt he skipped over. Back at the rank of a Jounin he decided to devote his time to tutoring and teaching Genin in hopes of igniting new flames or keeping flames lit.
