Name: Taho
Title: n/a
Age: 14
Gender: Male
Appearance: 

He has brown hair, messy and spiky brown hair. His clothes are simply, usually a bright t-shirt and jeans; he 
doesn’t have a belt or place to keep many things. Taho’s eyes are a deep lavender color, unnatural but beautiful. Most notable about him though is his smile, it is infectious and yet almost unnerving at times, it is the smile of someone who literally doesn’t have a care in the world. Well there is his smile and the fact that he is missing his right arm, but people tend not to stare at the empty sleeve and noticeably blank space where his arm should be, that would be rude. Taho is about normal height for his age, and is a little on the scrawny side, but not so much that he stands out. 

Personality:

Taho is carefree to the point of it being a vice. So much so that he doesn’t bother concerning himself with consequences. Often times he is violent, but this isn’t out of malice so much as having no fear of retribution. Taho is extremely short sighted and optimistic, in fact one might be hard pressed to find him without a smile on his face, but he is also pretty quick to get fed up with things. If something is not constantly providing him with stimuli he becomes bored quickly and he hates getting lectured or having to deal with complicated problems.

Not having a lot of his memory doesn’t really seem to bother Taho, but it might help to explain his personality. He often times is detached from the world, or at the very least the concept of consequences and rewards in the future, and given no context for these things he seeks only immediate gratification. There is only ever the current moment for him and he isn’t good at denying his impulse within that moment. 

Despite his selfish attitude he can be swept up in other people’s problems rather easily, provided he feels outraged at whoever is causing it, and often times tries to solve this problem with his fist. Likewise he is able to occasionally make friends regardless of his constant amnesia, although he is likely to forget about them if too much time passes between visits. 

Recent History: 

The earliest memory Taho has is lying on the cold earth of a battlefield and dimly, detachedly watching men kill other men. His chest feeling the warm, fresh blood that leaked through his clothes as his body became cold. He had to get up, he remembers thinking that was the most important thing, but his body felt heavy as lead. Cold, heavy, and dead. The pool of blood reached his neck and face, it was warm for only a moment but it failed to dispel the cold that gripped his body. 

His right arm was missing, he knew that without having to look, without having to see, but to this day he can’t remember when it was taken. It hurt, not just where it had been cut off but everywhere his arm should have been, and yet he did not have the energy to react to it. His mouth tasted like dirt, his ears heard only the clamor of steel clashing and dull explosions and his eyes were glazed. Even though he saw everything his mind processed nothing, they battle that played out before him was distant and detached, and even though he was right there nothing was important. 

Taho couldn’t tell you how long this memory lasts, only that at some point he was in a hospital. It wasn’t waking up in a hospital, when the memory starts he is already awake. Awake and watching a meager meal silently. The place his limb had been severed was now wrapped in bandages, it had been treated, and he had an I.V. hooked up to his remaining arm. The boy was looking at his still food intently, quietly, cautiously, as if he expected the jello to move. Taho couldn’t tell you how he got to the hospital, or how he got out. Vaguely he remembers nurses walking towards and away from him, but he can’t remember their faces.

Taho doesn’t remember leaving the hospital, only arriving in a small village at some point dressed in the hospital gown. It wasn’t covered in blood or anything, and his arm stump seemed better, even if the missing part seemed to constantly hurt. There was a barn in the outskirts of the village that had been abandoned. It would serve as a good place to sleep.

In that barn Taho met a man, one whose face and name he can’t recall but he remembered the man had a strange mark on his neck. The man was scared, and threatening at first, but Taho’s cheerful nature and stature made the man less suspicious. He was allowed to sleep there for the night. During the night three men came for the man, the man fought back.

During that violence Taho’s Phantom Arm was formed. It was surprising to everyone including Taho himself, but he used it naturally. He managed to beat one easily, crushing his skull before the ninja could grasp the situation. The second one he fought was much harder, but eventually he managed to kill him as well. The third ninja had been killed by the man with the mark. The man with the mark ran immediately, but Taho stayed and slept in the barn. The next day he took the clothes of the ninja who was closest to his body size and left. 

Taho stopped at many small villages on his way to Konohana, although he can’t remember why he wanted to go there. He did remember that he is supposed to go there though. There are many blank spots in his memories, and some fights that are of no consequence to him. Actually there were quite a few fights, involving local authorities, random civilians, bandits, and just about anyone else you could think of. Taho would use his Phantom Arm at the drop of a hat, whether it was to protect someone who had managed to earn his pity or attack someone that had made him angry. In fact he even attacked people for things like free food and board, and got in lots of trouble with local law enforcement more than once.

When Taho finally arrived in Konohana he was admitted to an orphanage, however was quickly kicked out due to his violent nature. He then met a slightly older girl who would sing to him. Although he can’t remember her name or face he remembers that she had long brown hair and a beautiful voice. She provided the young man with a place to stay, as well as helping him to find a job and making sure that he didn’t act violently. She explained the rules of the world to him.

He would get in trouble a lot, whether at his job or in public. She would always apologize for him and help him get through it. The young boy liked her a lot, and felt better when she was around. Without meaning to he caused a lot of trouble for her, but she never complained and always looked out for him. Then one day she was no longer around. 

Currently he is living semi-peacefully within Konohana, and remembers some days while forgetting others.

Kekkai Genkai: 

Phantom Cloak – The technique called Phantom Hand is actually an application of the Phantom Cloak, an ability that creates constructs made from pure chakra. These constructs are physical and solid in nature; however they possess a fluidity that allows for their form and shape to be changed at will. Because of this the phantom hand can move in ways that normal arms can’t. The constructs themselves have to always remain attached at some point to the user, otherwise the user will lose control and the construct will dissipate, and can only be stretched about fifteen feet away from the user. 

At present Taho is only able to use this technique to recreate his missing hand, although it tends to be larger than his original hand, and alter that as he sees fit. This was done almost subconsciously, since he is unaware of the technique as a whole and has no idea how to create anything else. His phantom hand is considerably stronger than a human’s, able to crush rocks and plow through walls with ease, and by increasing its size and toughness he is able to use it as a wrecking ball.

The Chakra itself is also special in that it can absorb any chakra that comes into contact with it, or the chakra of a person it has touched. If enough chakra is absorbed it can even affect the nature of the hand, depending on the element of the chakra. However the absorbed chakra is kept in the construct, in this case the hand, and not the main body itself, so if the construct is dispelled then the absorbed chakra will dissipate. Since the chakra can’t be used to cast techniques, and the hand’s functionality is mostly the same, this ability serves as no real advantage other than to weaken foes’ techniques or act to drain them.

Jutsu: None (can't perform hand seals)
