Clothing: Saiyuriel's clothing aren't the typical shinobi wear to say the least. He was never one for prolonged agile movement on his own, nor did his schooling ever extend to the point where apt wares became his style. He wear's layers of light clothing, starting with a soft sand colored tunic and finished by an auburn kimono-esque type of robe. His pants are of the same shade, if not a little darker but the same style of kimono wear. Strapped on his hands are brown fingerless gloves with each finger hole dipped in the sandy shade of his tunic. Around his waist is tied a long piece of silver silk cloth in a neat little bow. Around his feet are tight fitting boots becoming for the rough terrain of his homeland. They're nothing special in the least, easy the basic pair of shoes found in any old store. In fact, the only distinguishing aspect of his wardrobe was a gift from adoptive grandfather and doctor; a soft oval hat that fit just snug over his ears. The hat was decorated in small oval jewels at the brim, matching the luster of his eyes. He hardly gave off the shine of a shinobi, living in the orphanage for so long. Physical Description: Saiyuriel is a rather petite little boy but even so, that does not exempt him from a past written on his epidermis. His naked body isn't a pleasant sight to behold, not because he was an ugly child or riddled with skin disease. It was another reason out of his control, but something disgustingly preventable. While his clothing may conceal most of the scars and marks and give the false illusion at a fair skinned boy- what lies beneath tells another tale. With scarring lacerated around his legs, torso, back and shoulders there would be a plethora of question aroused over the nature of the abnormalities. Yet they were only scars, pale in comparison to the long stretch of continual skin deformation and dotted black markings tossed around on his back. Covered his tuft of hair, two black markings are inscribed on his temples with inch thick black lines tracing down from them in front of his ears and intertwine in a double helix then splitting once again at his pectoris and finishing with two inscribed circles on the back of his hands. The complexity of Sai's skin is sandy wheat, heralding from the unique mixture of two nations. In the mountainous region of Kumogakure, naturally certain muscles in his legs would develop on a slightly skewed time table than his arms. Never a youth to take to the energized actives mostly due to the revoked blessing of such opportunities his stamina never dictated the overexertion of pushing his body aside from briskly running due to unpleasantries.
Personality
Saiyuriel is typically soft-spoken, choosing to observe rather than comment. However, when the time needs he is not the most graceful in conversation, giving too much detail or not enough. His lonesomeness and alienation has made him accidentally manipulative, by using people and conversations to his own ends though he usually will still stand moral grounds to do so. He plays his age off as weakness, but does not delay holding back when he needs to. His id is more prone towards anger and selfishness and getting things done while his superego tends to be kinder, more patient and intimate. He has a very high regard towards nature, as he aligns himself with the Asaito monks and will value it like a living being. Saiyuriel is constantly vying for control over himself and the world.
Biography
Saiyuriel was born to a caring father and a permissive mother. Infantile amnesia was not enough to ignore all the misgivings his mother had towards him, seeing him as a weight rather than a joy. He was beaten and abused in all forms as a child, still holding scars both physical and mental. Natsuki, his mother was a high profile criminal from Yukigakure no Sato, while his father Saburo was part of the Council of Sages of Kumogakure no Sato. Saiyuriel helplessly begged for love from his mother, a trait he gained from his father but most of the times she would refuse and even induce frostbite as a means to get him away. Occasionally she would have relapses of affection, which while minimal were enough to keep the boy wanting more. He was just shy of age five when his cocktail of mental illnesses added another syndrome, one that he could only confess to his father after months of it ravaging him. He heard voices of people who didn’t have physical bodies, nor were they spirits. They were in his head. Saburo could do nothing for his son, stuck to see his son branded as a freak, on top of the suffering burdens brought on by his mother. His father would lay awake at night becoming an insomniac due to this helplessness. He wanted so much for his only son to have a normal life and even that was now beyond reach.
That was, until Kumogakure no Sato’s apocalypse. With the rise of Inabakari Raikou as Raikage, the Ninja Crime Investigation Agency swooped in across the continent and seized totalitarian control over every village and every nation. With one order, with one wish, the whole world fell at his feet and Saburo understood his chance. Perhaps the insomnia had caught up with him, or perhaps his soul finally overpowered his rational thought but whatever the cause was- the scholar saw his one opportunity. He knew Yukigakure had fallen under Raikou’s seize, it was common knowledge on the streets and with access to higher level information, the scholar residing in the Hall of Sages knew even more. Yukigakure’s criminal list would be compressed in to the enemies of the state if they weren’t pardoned by biased corruption. With only hope and faith to rely on, Saburo saw the only light for a pleasant future for his son. He alerted the authorities of the NCIA, who dispatched a team of well trained hunter-nin to deal with the rouge killer, but he had to rescue his son. If she knew, she would kill Saiyuriel and him while trying to escape clutches of the law again. Saburo broke in to his own home and snatched Sai up from his bed only to meet the murderous felon standing at his doorway, blocking the entrance. She was ripe with blood from the shinobi sent after her; apparently the first force couldn’t contain her. She was weakened and Saburo escaped when the second wave of elite hunter-nins arrested Natsuki and placed her in a highly secure asylum perhaps to be brainwashed or simply to rot. Saburo had gotten away but his left arm barely hung on to his body. But that didn’t stop him from ensuring Saiyuriel’s deliverance. On the doorstep of an orphanage owned by the Yochi family, Saburo left his son with only a few belongings, handing over two photographs to the orphanage of his parents. Some could call it kindness, others cowardice but Saburo used his knowledge to seal Saiyuriel's memories so that he would not remember the horrid detail, but rather a new set of memories of happiness, that instead his parents were killed on missions and loved him to the highest degree. Sarubo’s last breath was exhaled on that cold night. He couldn’t live with the guilt of his sins. For five years, he had only one fatherly act to his name in his eyes. He never wanted his son to be reminded of his horrid past and let death cradle him to the grave. With the rope rubbing bristly at his neck, Naito Saburo took the step in to gravity’s embrace, never to look back.
The seal worked as it intended, but only on Saiyuriel's conscious mind. His unconscious mind, which had become aware, which were the voices that haunted him knew the truth. They plagued him, took control of him and never let him rest. These strange, horrid behaviors were enough to gain the attention of Aiji, the orphanage patriarch. He studied the boy's bloodline and taught him the ways of the ninja in order to control what was in his mind. One day Aiji had to leave, but Saiyuriel couldn't accept that and tried to follow him. HE followed the man to Amegakure no Sato where he had gotten swept up in the revolution of the Amekage and found a comrade, Kazuki. The pair embarked on helping Dash, the rising Amekage but Saiyuriel got scared, unable to cotnrol the voices of his unconscious mind and fled. He ended up in Iwagkure, where he was imprisoned by Kaine Kagami and interrogated by Kaine Utsuro, who would become weird family figures for the boy. He would cling to Kagami like a sister and have an affectionate-hate relationship with Utsuro, despite the terrible habit of cigarettes he had. After invading his mind and seeing that he wasn't a treat, Utsuro brought Saiyuriel to Ageshio Loire, his former teacher to learn the Ageshio art of gravity manipulation. The journey helped Saiyuriel to gain sovereignty over his mind and control when they would take over and chastise them when he refused them to.
After leaving Iwagakure, Saiyuriel returned to Kumogakure and found asylum with the Asaito Shamans, where he learned their ideas for world preservation and ecosystem protection. When their monestary was attack, Saiyuriel was guided to find a Scroll of the Sixth Paths, which he used to devastate the bandits. The monks were dead, but he would carry on their ideals. He traveled back to the village, where he would help against Quo's Rebellion by traveling down through the sewers and fighting sentient knives to turn back on the stormsheild.
