"Sitting there in the dark, I had the chance to think about a lot of things, including the nature of the world itself. And after lengthy consideration, I realized something: when all is said and done, this world is an unknowable place. On the surface, all appears rational, orderly. But what lies beyond that thin veneer of reason? Stability and reality? Or chaos and madness? What are we really made of in the end? Is there truly any meaning to the lives we lead? Or are we nothing more than hollow vessels? These are questions we can never answer because we cannot hope to see beyond the world's fragile layer of skin. So we live our lives filled with uncertainty, never knowing who or what we truly are or what the future will bring. All we can do is imagine. Life becomes an unsolvable mystery with any number of twists and turns awaiting us. And that's enough to fill any soul with terror! ”

Looks Description: Asura is depicted as a very tall, thin, pale young man. Prior to becoming a Warrior, he wore numerous long white scarves, encircling his entire neck and a large portion of his head, and upwards of five to six shirts on his body, each of varying style and color. Even this significant amount of clothing is covered by a further layer; consisting of a red and black pinstriped blazer, as well as an extremely long pair of dark trousers, burying the black shoes worn underneath in a mass of fabric.
Asura has adopted the symbol of three vertical eyes, as he too possesses a third eye on his forehead. Not only does each strand of dark hair on his head look like an eye, due to the presence of white markings, but even his pupils feature this same eye-like shape. This signature eye symbol is tattooed to the backs of each of his hands and the long scarf that encompasses his head is embellished with multiple black images of these vertical eyes, wrapped in a very particular manner so as to display only three at the front.
Personality Description:Asura had been known as an individual who possessed an extremely fragile soul. Joining the Eight Powerful Warriors, Asura had shared a friendship with Shinigami, and the two fought alongside each other in order to protect peace and order in the world. Asura was the best and strongest out of all Eight Guardians, however, despite his immense strength, Asura had almost always been experiencing the terror of something. Constantly frightened, Asura sought desperately to relieve his insatiable fear. He found such comfort in dressing with a ridiculous amount of layered clothing, wrapping his face in long scarves, and finding comfort in his Weapon, Vajra. His fear, however, did not come to an ease, and found it difficult to trust others in the fear of betrayal. Even in Vajra, with whom he had supposedly specifically partnered with in an effort to escape his fears. Eventually, Asura came to the conclusion that the only way that he could relieve his fears was through the attainment of ultimate power. He then became so obsessed in obtaining such power that he began to consume Souls of innocent humans, even going so far as to consume Vajra himself. Eventually, Asura fell to his own Madness, and had become the first Kishin.
Asura also has views of a true peace of which only he knows, a peace which resides in the actions of surrendering to Madness and being rid of fear and pain. He views the rationality that has been imposed on the world as an illusion of security and peace, when in actuality, nothingness lies beyond this "order" that almost all humans seem to follow. He also believes that mankind's greatest weakness is their ability to imagine answers to questions that seem to only amount to a frightening answer, when in actuality, the answers are not very frightening at all, and that the only thing that makes them appear so terrifying is the human's imagination running away with them. As a strong believer in this concept of happiness, Asura has sacrificed his own imagination altogether, amounting to fearless recklessness.
As the physical embodiment of Madness and fear, Asura's behavior is extremely inconceivable; one minute he seemingly has a completely calm and cool demeanor, the next he is both maniacal and senseless. He is easily frightened by things he doesn't understand. This unpredictable behavior makes him particularly dangerous. Asura is a great disbeliever in honor, seeing it as something that one could fall slave to, and that the love for other people was nothing more than a one way road to defeat.

Catch Phrases: “People fear because they imagine. Imagination is the power of all the emotions combined. People imagine things because they do not understand them. It’s more terrifying imagining a future that provides more pain. It’s not that people are not afraid to die. They are scared to imagine…death.”, “The truth cannot be held by clinging to order coated with rhetoric and lies. Covering up what is inconvenient and ignoring the real issues, will not hide the rips in the skin. Is providing false peace really that noble?”, “What’s wrong with accepting madness?”
Nindo: "I'll take anyone and everyone out, no one will stand in my way to madness" ... "Hahahahaha"
Element Affinity: Raiton [Lighting Release]
Sub Element Affinity:
History: Asura was born in a small, cold village in the Land of Water, a land that had suffered from war not long before. Asura's mother and father were harvesters, poor harvesters to be exact, but they tried as hard as they can to get anything for their son. Being an only child, Asura's mother and father spoiled him, and yet although he was appreciative, the stuff did not matter. The family loved each other for who they are, despite the little arguments that Asura,s father and mother had. They would usually venture around different villages because of the weather.
Until one day, at the age of 12, he went on a trip with his father to visit his grandfather on the other side of the village, the rice village. There, his grandfather told him the history of the Kishin family, and that his father was a ninja of the same clan himself. The Black Blood passed down from generations, and that one day, Asura will inherit the same Black Blood. One day, Asura, through the teaching of his grandfather and father, learned how to manipulate Lighting.
Training for 5 days and 6 nights (skipped morning training and moved it to evening - night), Asura natural velocity and dexterity increased. On the sixth and final day, Asura's grandfather and father taught him the Kishin Secret Technique, Kishin explosive power wave.
He started his training on July 18th. It took 5 months to master, and Asura was a fast learner. On October 17th, two days before his 13th birthday, he finally mastered the Kishin Family Secret Technique. But one day, October 18th, his father and grandfather got into an argument about Asura's mother on how she is weak at heart and at strength that caused Asura's father to duel with several ninja of the same family. Asura's father wasn't remorse at heart, fatally killing the ninja that came in his way. Asura saw everything in the shadows. Asura's father, with emotions of rage and anger, killed his family brethren and aimed for his grandfather.
On October 19th, when Asura turned Thirteen, Asura's grandfather and father fought for hours, during the afternoon to the evening but in the end, at sun fall to night rise, Asura's father slayed his father in cold blood. Asura had tears in his eyes as he was now ashamed to look at his father and ran away from the man that he loved.
Asura went back to his mother and told the news about the slaughter, did not notice that someone overheard their conversation and immediately reported to the Mizukage. Asura and his mother stayed at their home and waited.
2 weeks have passed and no sign of Asura's father. Asura stayed in his room sleep while his mother went to go buy some food for the house. In the streets of Mizu, there were talks of a man killing his own family out of anger from his father. Asura's mother overheard the conversation as she walked past but stayed quiet. There were also rumors that the mizukage banished the man from ever entering the village. Now, Asura's mother was upset and gasped in horror. Dropping her groceries, she ran back to her home, woke up Asura, and told him the news.
That night... Asura... cried for a week, never leaving his room, not even to go eat, or play with his friends.
Finishing the academy at the top of his class, he felt no remorse for his father, but thinking that his father disliked, no hated, the village he lived in, he also thought that his father hated him too. And the only way to deal with that hatred, was by hating back.
Now a Genin ongoing to be a Chunnin, Asura wished to carry out his family legacy and be the best Kishin ninja there was, yet seeking revenge on his father for slaughtering his very own family out of anger.
Genin - Chunin Years
Before the Chunin Exams started, Asura was challenged by a fellow ninja of the Kirigakure village. Although the beginning was in the ninja's favor, Asura used his Secret technique, to gain the upper advantage and utilized his lighting-based techniques to catch the opponent off guard and end with a fatal injury to the rib cage by a severe roundhouse kick. Just then, the ninja's team started to cause an altercation with Asura and his team, but both captains of either squad broke up the fight. Asura and his captain had a little talk with the captain saying, "I know you are strong in your abilities like Isshin and Aoi, but don't show off your abilities just yet."
The next day, Team Minoru, consisting of Ninjutsu user Asura, taijutsu specialist Isshin, and Kenjutsu tracker, Aoi, He trained them on their fighting style and had helped them improve greatly, putting his team in Fuinjutsu to where drastic measures were made and tough decisions had to be chosen.
During the first phase of the Chunin Exams -held in Konohagakure during his period of time-, it was clear to Asura, that in order to succeed, it was required to cheat without the purpose of getting caught, as the written exam tests the ninja's information-gathering ability. Seeing as the other genin cheated to succeed, minority getting caught, he decided to do the test the old fashion way: by memorization. Isshin, being part of the Hyuga clan, used his Byakugan to cheat on the test and Aoi, being apart of the Uchiha clan, clearly used her sharingan to cheat off of the student seating infront of her. If it was up to Asura, he would've cheated himself, but had no opportunity to do so.
During the second phase of the Chunin Exams in the Forest of Death, Team Minoru to find weak rivals to battle, possibly beat, and take the Heaven Scroll since they were equipped with the Earth Scroll. Asura founded one team and had fought their leading ninja. In the beginning was Asura's favor, but the leading ninja used his taijutsu and agility to overcome Asura's prowess. But Asura did not give up. Using his Lighting release and Kishin power energy orb, he used his agility, velocity (speed), dexterity and strategy to overcome the leading ninja's force, taking with him the Heaven Scroll. Aoi and Asura made it back with Aoi having the Earth scroll in her possession and Asura with the Heaven Scroll. They came to a conclusion that they would wait for Isshin to show up late. When time passed, Aoi was worried, but Asura decided to wait longer. Aoi warned Asura that if Isshin got severly injured, it would be turmoil for the three. Asura sighed and sucked up his feelings, helping Aoi find Isshin.
When the two found Isshin, they saw that he was badly injured by a team of three Iwagakure samurai. Remembering their feud many many years ago by history and angered, Asura threatened to not only fight them, but severly injury to the point of death in the process, but decided not to do so, when a kirigakure ninja, Yamato Oda, showed up. Once Yamato drove off the Kirigakure genin, breaking the bones of the ninja that attacked Isshin by means of almost defeat in battle, Aoi and Asura took Isshin away in means to recover, still managing to pass the second round.
In the preliminary matches, Asura was to fight against Sunagakure genin, Shinchiro Yasha, who's clan, the Yasha clan of Sunagakure, perfected the Kekkai Genkai, Blade Release. Shinchiro, using his great intellect, attempted to get into Asura's head and trying to persuade him that it is futile to go up against a master of the wind like himself. But nonetheless, Asura responded back by saying, "Your face is utterly disappointing." That saying made Shinchiro mad, and started to charge at Asura. Blows were exchanged. Shinchiro seemed to defeat Asura, only for Asura to use chakra dissection blade to dissect Shinchiro's chakra, rendering him to be almost usless in his Kekkai Genkai. Using Kishin Fire Blast, Asura now had the upper fighting advantage. He pinpointed Shinchiro's chakra points, remembering the class in the Academy where the chakra is a ninja's main weapon, showing where each chakra point is. Using that knowledge, while still having Shinchiro in Shock, Asura striked at chakra points in Shinchiro's arms, putting him in a critical condition. Asura sheathed his wakizashi and crouched toward Shinchiro in amazing speed, popping him in the air with a knee launched to the chin. Asura jumped above Shinchiro in amazing velocity and launched a tsunami kick when he snapped his right foot down. Shinchiro crashed to the ground with Asura landing on top and motioned the blade at Shinchiro's throat, issuing that he moves one muscle, Asura will be forced to go that direction. Jurou dismissed his threats and walked off, winning his match.
He stood to where the stands were and watched Isshin's match with Yamato. Although surprised by both of their strengths, Asura said that it was foolish for Isshin to let his guard down easy, and after the fight, Isshin won his match. The two watched Aoi's fight with that Otogakure genin, realizing that her strategic ways and impressive speed made her a challenging opponent to her teammates. But in the end, the Otogakure genin came out the winner.
Isshin was pitted against the Otogakure genin in the first round in the finals. Their power was evenly similar, a match made to be a good one. And a good one it was. Blows were exchanged in all directions. A true taijutsu user against a nintaijutsu user. Speed determined the winner, and Isshin was shined upon as the fastest in the battle. But the Otogakure genin had a few tricks up his sleeve with his sound-based techniques. At the end, it's the Otogakure who emerges the winner, and Asura's rage over the Otogakure genin started to fuel inside of him as Minoru, the team captain, took Asura under his wing to train for the second round of the finals
The second round commenced as it was Asura going up against a Konohagakure ninja with a high usage of genjutsu and ninjutsu. The battle went on for a good amount of time, Team Minoru, and other ninja of different villages rooted for the two. In the beginning, the Konohagakure ninja seemed to take advantage of his impressive strength, but Asura was much faster and using his agility and dexterity, he took the fight into his hands. With that glorious battle, it ended with the Konohagakure ninja crashing into the walls of the area, Asura standing in dead center of the arena as the winner.
The other battle commenced as Asura watched, seeing as Otogakure genin wins again.
Now, the final battle commenced: Asira vs. the Otogakure genin, Jin Mizuchi. In the beginning, Asura had the upper advantage, using his tremendous speed, agility, and dexterity to lay waste to Jin, but Jin would nost give up so easily. Using sound-based techniques, he tried to tamper with Asura's ears, using such techniques as sound clones that when killed, they make an eerie that hurts the hearing of the person who destroys the clones, putting him in q genjutsu where the sound waves tampered with his hearing, not hearing his opponent's footsteps, initiating a critical strike. Asura got onto his knees and closed his ears because of so much pain. Jin walked behing Asura and slit his throat. As Asura hit the ground, half of the crowd cheered for the genin, and some of the crowd stayed silent. But then the crowd gasped as Jin turned his back to the body dispersed into water, his plan was futile. He had thought it out too. Asura appeared from behind and used shockwave, trapping Jin in the lighting. Asura was going to use the same tactic he did on Shinchiro. He pinpointed Jin's chakra points, remembering the class in the Academy where the chakra is a ninja's main weapon, showing where each chakra point is. Using that knowledge, while still having Jin in Lighting, Asura striked at chakra points in Jin's arms, putting him in a critical condition. Asura sheathed his wakizashi and crouched toward Jin in amazing speed, popping him in the air with a knee launched to the chin. Jurou jumped above Jin in amazing velocity and launched a tsunami kick when he snapped his right foot down. Jin crashed to the ground with Asura landing on top and motioned the blade at Jin's throat, issuing that he moves one muscle, Asura will be forced to go that direction. Jurou dismissed his threats and walked off, winning his match. The crowd went wild for Asura and some even cheered for Jin. Team Minoru was estatic to see their member won the Chunin exams.
Chunin - Jonin Years
During the time skip, everyone that was a Genin became Chunin, except Asura who immediately advanced to the rank of a jonin by his performance. Through countless years of hardwork and training really paid off as even though he did not gain height or weight, or changed his appearance, he was still lethal when it came to battle. He mastered Lighting Release, and the technique that came with it, ShockWave.
Training even harder over the years, his skills with swordsmanship got sharper and sharper to the point where he was a genius in it, having the ability to switch styles between certain strikes to make his attacks more lethal. He also mastered Kenjutsu, ability to condense chakra into lighting and have it consume the blade of the sword to create Vajra. Although he still gets special training from other jonin and even the mizukage, he still settles down with his own teammates and even his captain from time-to-time. He has been called several times to compete in B to S-rank missions, only taking consideration into A-rank missions only, staying the role of being a Jonin. But one day...
...he will obtain the rank of a S. Jonin, whether it kills him.
Post Time Skip
Throughout the crimes he committed of treason and giving out very powerful weapons in the past 5 to 6 years, Asura was on the run and then eventually became a Missing-Nin in which he defected the village that he loved the most, Kirigakure. Eventually, the shinobi had caught up to him and eventually took him into prison for 3 to 4 years. Days passed, weeks passed, months to years passed with little sunlight until the opportunity to escape was upon him, and he took advantage. It had seemed that there was a prison break, and the criminals fled to their different paths, including Asura in that manner.
Kirigakure. Land of Mist. Home of the Mizukage and many powerful shinobi to go along with it. Some ninja reside there, others moved to different villages. Little to no birds in the sky flew, only clouds of emptiness took control of the sky and the breeze of chill ran down everyone's spine, signaling it was chilly. Hot, timid weather. Shinobi were working hard, under the order of the Mizukage. Civilans were granted with smiles of safety and happiness. Welcoming any newcomers. But only one ninja was not happy, his hatred still resigned in his body. Time to make his move. He was at age twenty-nine. Abilities far rival of a Kage rank himself.
Taichi Nabada, age thirty, arrived at Kirigakure No Sato, flourished by the renown hatred that swelled inside his body since the day his parents died. Wrecking havoc onto the village made him appeared to stay in jail for 3 to 4 years, others assumed that he died because of his actions. A funeral being held in his loss, only with three people who attended, his squad from years back. Hatred began to swell even more inside of him. Kiri No Sato was nothing to him anymore. He had cut all ties with Kiri No Sato, and now, he will settle the score when he is ready to. Living in the abandoned house that still stood, all lights were off. He waited. Until the perfect day for Kiri No Sato to lay waste eternally. He snarled at this God-forsaken village, only he would wait. Leaving the abandoned house hold and Kirigakure completely, he wandered the many lands and different countries as a Missing-Nin. If anyone had cross his path, they would surely be dealt with swift and painful.
RP Sample: Asura and a nameless accomplice, had just robbed the home of an old couple and had fled to the base of a dormant volcano, "Asura! we have to climb the volcano, they'll be looking for us, hurry!" The boy was panicking, and bad. "Don't trust him Asura." The dark voice that was his inner conscious whispered in a hushed dark warning. "You must kill him, before he betrays you and turns you in." As the two boys began their accent up the volcano, Asura allowed himself to fall behind, where he knelled to the ground and quickly took a rock in his right hand, clenching it tightly before sprinting allowing himself to catch back up with his partner. "Asura" His voice was trembling with fear now, "What if they catch us, they'll execute us for theft." Sheps face hardened upon sensing the fear his associates voice. "Just be quite, they're not gonna find out unless someone tells." "KIll HIM NOW" the madness in his head urged, almost a command. however as the two reached the peak of the volcano, the boy had cracked, "Asura I have to tell them what we've done, maybe they'll forgive us if we come clean." Asura's face than changed to an expression of pure rage, he then thrust his right hand, the one holding the rock, forward, allowing it to collide with the back of the mans skull, cracking it, killing him. However in his blind rage michi kept hitting him, until he had realized what he had done. Realizing what he had done, he clenched the dead man by the collar of his shirt with both hands, and began to roll his body, until it fell into the dormant volcano, disposing of the evidence of his first murder, but surely not his last.
