Uchiha Tsukiyo
A prodigal member of the Uchiha Clan, Tsukiyo's bright and shining future was cut short when he caught a terminal illness as a child. Robbed of most of his strength and left with the lingering after effects of his ongoing sickness, the once quiet, shy boy had become tense and jaded as he continues a daily fight for survival.

Tsukiyo is a slender, almost frail young man with the traditional coloring of his clan. Primarily a Genjutsu user, Tsukiyo's has a slim musculature that fits his narrow frame. His blue-black hair is kept roughly chin length, and has a natural tousled look to it. His pale skin, dark hair and deep color of his eyes can make him quit striking, but his illness often makes him look more sallow than fair, with dark shadows under his eyes from sleepless nights.
Personality
Reasonable and thoughtful, Tsu is a quiet, sometimes shy individual with a calm and polite demeanor. His introvert personality makes him uncomfortable around strangers, though his dark coloring combined with the notoriety of his Clan means most assume he's simply antisocial. When forced to interact with people he is unfamiliar with he often becomes tense, relying on stiff formality to hide his discomfort. All of these combine to make a taciturn individual, though many mistake his private nature for surliness. It doesn't help that his illness - something that most people are quick to notice and remark upon - is a sensitive subject for the Uchiha, and is likely to bring out mocking bitterness and despondent words. However, for those who can see past his personal insecurities and reservations, Tsukiyo is well mannered, careful individual who still desperately clings to his desire to be a shinobi.
About
A prodigious member of the Uchiha clan, Tsukiyo displayed an intelligence and aptitude for the ninja arts that surpassed all of his peers. However, at a young age Tsukiyo was stricken with a strange illness that left his body crippled. His career was cut short almost as soon as it began as the sickness nearly destroyed many of his vital organs, leaving him prone to debilitating headaches and coughing up blood. This should have been the end of any aspirations to be a shinobi, however the "loss" of Tsukiyo resulted in his family presuring his younger brother, Uchiha Asahi to live up to their clan's legacy. Unlike Tsukiyo, Asahi had a life loving, caring temperament with aspirations to be a medic, not a tool for killing. Convinced that it was his fault that Asahi had been coerced into becoming a ninja, Tsukiyo began to train in secret to regain what strength he could, until even his maligned body could meet the physical requirements necessary to do shinobi work.
However, no amount of time or healing will save him, as eventually he will succumb to the internal injuries he sustained from his illness and die.

- The meaning of his name is "Moonlit Night"(月夜).
- Tsukiyo is an atheist.
- His's illness (including it's name) is based on cystic fibrosis, though it is not an exact comparison.
