"Good and evil don't really matter. All that matters if that those who bring strife into the world are punished for their misdeeds. The ending of their foolishness will bring a new order to the world."

Background

Maikeru was accepted as a Jounin of Kirigakure soon after arriving from the Land of Demons. He later went back to make peace with the Land of Demons and was officially released from them. Recently, he went out with a team led by a Death Hand Agent and was the last of the Kirigakure team on the battlefield. He went missing for a while. When Takeshi brought him back, he had lost all his memory and was writing a poem and sparring quite a bit. He has since regained his memory and gone to work with new motivation. It is rumored he killed the S-Rank Criminal Kaede without taking so much as a scratch in their last battle. When he came back from that fight, he started a new group called the Onryou.

After Maikeru saw Ruki acting strange in the gardens, he attacked and fatally wounded him, which led to Ruki's death by being jumped by Kirigakure shinobi. It was discovered that Ruki was in fact Kaede. Maikeru claims to have been under the influence of some sort of jutsu that led him to believe he had killed Kaede before. Since then, his attitude has taken a rather drastic change. He seems to be no longer interested in leading some sort of revolution against injustice, instead becoming focused on power.

Unable to serve Hikan's bloodlust anymore, Maikeru turned on Kirigakure during a war where Hikan's scientists were wielding a giant laser that was killing thousands. He used his signature jutsu to help destroy the weapon and began wandering. He seems to be a friend to all villages except the one he turned on so far, though there may have been a few friendly speedbumps with a certain Jounin Councilman.

Jigoku… That is the name the man gave himself to mock those whose chakra he absorbed into himself, calling himself Hell. He was more beast than man, craving only power and destroying anyone he could to gain more. His powers allowed him to absorb the chakra of those he killed into himself to make himself more powerful with each kill. Rather than simply making himself powerful enough to protect himself and his people like most shinobi, he wanted to become a god. To be able to crush a village with more impact than one of the tailed beasts would have been an utter delight to him. At first, he was thought to be a myth, something a villager came up with to scare others, but, as the man became more powerful, he began to allow himself to become notorious around the Land of Demons, and his bloodlust began to spiral rapidly out of control. Teams of Chuunin and Jounin bound together to try to take him down but all ended up just feeding more power into him.

Jigoku's bloodlust finally took a turn for the worst when he decided he was powerful enough to take on and absorb the leader of the Land of Demons along with her guards. He charged into the capital, killing and absorbing as many shinobi as he could along the way. The streets began to run with blood as more and more people became a part of the legion of souls he had taken. All the shinobi in the capital stood against him to protect their leader. As the battle raged on and people fled, the lord of the land sprang out with a vessell in hand and began to go through Hand Seals, preparing to seal Jigoku inside it. When Jigoku saw this, he grabbed the closest hostages he could, a woman and her infant and leapt toward the priestess. Just as the seal was about to become complete, Jigoku threw the infant at the vessel, shattering it and causing the power that was being used to seal him in the vessel to flow into the child. Knowing it was too late and too dangerous to stop the seal from happening, the the priestess quickly scribed a seal on the infant's right arm to contain Jigoku's soul inside it. Once Jigoku was safely sealed inside the arm, she then began scribing seals onto the boy's arm to make sure that Jigoku was contained and not able to take complete control over the boy's body or animate himself ethereally. After making sure the seals were complete, the priestess then turned to check on the boy's mother, who much to her dismay was dead… Apparently, Jigoku had to have one last kill before he was sealed away. Found in the dead mother's purse was a blanket with what they assumed to be the boy's name, and so they called him Maikeru.

Maikeru was raised by a female shinobi of the village. She raised him as her own and trained him as best she could, but it was the priestess that taught him his most important techniques… How to keep Jigoku under control. From his time as a child, he was taught extensively how to perform seals. He had to practice over and over again the seals to keep the power in his arm contained while still being able to use it. This gave little time for him to make friends. Of course, it was very hard to make friends when most other children would either poke fun or be frightened at the sight of his arm. Their reactions discouraged him at first, but he learned to laugh them off. This did take some patience, though. There were times when he lost his temper and even used a touch of the power of his arm to teach some of them a lesson. Of course, that tended to return a good amount of discipline his way because it tended to bring up talk among the villagers about potentially needing to amputate his arm because of the power that lied in it, as well as the person sealed in it. The priestess insisted to them that Maikeru was working on his temper and also suggested that they discipline their children for provoking him.

As Maikeru grew older, he became more immune to the talk of other children and even adults. He found that once he stopped responding to their foolishness, his life was able to become a bit more normal, although, Jigoku being able to speak from his arm, trying to entice him to kill, didn't help matters. Once he was able to calm down, he even made a friend out of a girl a couple years younger than he named Aika. Over the years of their youth, they grew closer, though his training still took up a large amount of his time. He had to learn how to perfect making solid shapes out of his chakra as well as learn Chakra Leech and other techniques capable of stealing others chakra to be able to use the power of Jigoku, though Jigoku wasn't eager to give up his own techniques to the boy. It is still unkown even to Maikeru whether or not he will ever be able to delve deep enough into Jigoku's power to learn the techniques he used. Only time will tell. He also began taking missions for the village, which helped villagers see a little reason that his arm shouldn't be chopped off.

After he had become on of the priestess' ANBU, Maikeru planned to ask to court Aika since all his current life goals were out of the way. He had his timing planned out, when to present her with roses, exactly the words to say. He was on his way out of town to meet her in the place they had decided to meet that day when he heard the sounds of a fight going on. His eyes grew wide, and he rushed to find out what was going on. A shock came over him as he saw another ninja standing over Aika's dead body. Rage came over him, and he thrust his possessed arm forward, sending an enormous form of it at him to grab him. His eyes locked with those of his love's murderer, and he saw something in them. He wasn't after her. The murderer had come for him to try to take his power. In a rage, he began to release some of the seals on his arm, and, before he knew it, he had completely released Jigoku's power. Enormous power flowed from him, crushing and mangling the body of the strange ninja who had come for him until blood spewed as his body popped like a balloon. He tossed the body into the woods then walked over to Aika, picking her up and walking with her to the spot where he had planned to ask her. With the power still flowing from him, he dug a grave for her in one swipe then set her down in it. He placed the roses in her hands then covered the grave. With a roar and a surge of power, he raced off to the west, even running off into the ocean, his surge of power causing him to race faster than ever until he reached a new dark, misty island. He finally gathered his senses enough to reseal Jigoku's power inside his arm, but something happened that day that Jigoku had been wishing for years… Maikeru tasted the true power that lies within him, and Jigoku knew that, with one taste of it, he would desire it, develop a thirst. Perhaps it would simply be a subconscious thirst at first, but he would grow to thirst after power like a vampire craving blood…. So here he stands on the island where Kirigakure stands to begin a new life, whether it lead toward good or evil.

Personality

Maikeru is an easy-going young man with a troubled past. He knows what it is like to only be viewed as a dangerous weapon, but he refuses to allow himself to just be a choice-less weapon made only to serve a village in war and have no other purpose. One of his goals as a Jounin is to teach young shinobi to have a life outside combat and training, to have an art, a hobby, friends, a true life outside bloodshed, and that they should always keep their choices their own. Whether one chooses to be good, evil, for the village, a rebel, peaceful, or bloodthirsty, it should always be by his own choosing.

For a while, Maikeru has seemed much more blood thirsty than usual. After his fight with Ruki inside the village, he seems more focused on growing more powerful than anything else now. It would seem thirst for power is what's driving him now to be a stronger Jounin for Kirigakure.

After leaving Kirigakure, Maikeru seemed to changed quite a bit. He cut his hair and began dressing and acting more like a businessman than a shinobi. He seems to be always calm and collected, always in control.

Appearance

+Open my Description

Maikeru is a handsome young man, standing at about 6'1" tall, appearing to be around twenty one years of age. His build is quite muscular, though not so much that it disproportions him or enough to slow his movements. His silver hair parts in the center of his head and flows down to the length of his jaw, going around his face, though occasionally partially covering an eye. His dark blue hold a look of confidence, always calm and collected, yet holding a darkness that seems almost tangible around him.

Upon his torso he wears a white trenchcoat that flows down to most of the way down his calves. Its shoulders bare a pair of black armored shoulder pads with a silver trim, the inside part of them slightly covered up by a white collar that stands up and folds down. Under that he wears a black sleeveless shirt that has a few pockets for kunai, tags, and such if he happens to not be wearing his coat, its collar coming up his neck a bit like a turtle neck, but standing loosely. Over his lower body, he wears a pair of black, flexible pants with the legs tucked into a pair of three-buckle combat boots. On both thighs, he wears a buckled strap, likely attached to a kunai/shuriken holder or something of the sort hidden by his coat. On his back, attached by a shoulder strap sheath that forms an 'X' over his chest, which tucks down into an abdominal guard of some kind built into the shirt, he holds a long, katana-esque blade. Its handle a shining white, perhaps lined with some sort of precious metal.

The most outstanding feature of this young man, when it is not covered by a sleeve or glove, is his right arm, because it it blood red, and has a fiery symbol glow upon his hand, which is mostly covered by it, always having an eerie red glow to it.

Hobbies

Other than training, fighting, and going to war, Maikeru has been known to have a few hobbies on the side. He has often been spotted cooking his own meals, fiddling with art and music, as well as writing poetry. Mostly known is the poem he wrote when he was recovering from his injuries sustained at the hands of Uma and Kaede and trying to regain his memory. He often quotes in passing and sometimes in battle.

Prologue
When the war of the beasts brings about the world's end
The goddess descends from the sky
Wings of light and dark spread afar
She guides us to bliss, her gift everlasting

Act I
Infinite in mystery is the gift of the goddess
We seek it thus, and take it to the sky
Ripples form on the water's surface
The wandering soul knows no rest

Act II
There is no hate, only joy
For you are beloved by the goddess
Hero of the dawn, Healer of worlds
Dreams of the morrow hath the shattered soul
Pride is lost
Wings stripped away, the end is nigh

Act III
My friend, do you fly away now?
To a world that abhors you and I?
All that awaits you is a somber morrow
No matter where the winds may blow
My friend, your desire
Is the bringer of life, the gift of the goddess
Even if the morrow is barren of promises
Nothing shall forestall my return

Act IV
My friend, the fates are cruel
There are no dreams, no honour remains
The arrow has left the bow of the goddess
My soul, corrupted by vengeance
Hath endured torment, to find the end of the journey
In my own salvation
And your eternal slumber
Legend shall speak
Of sacrifice at world's end
The wind sails over the water's surface
Quietly, but surely

Act V
Even if the morrow is barren of promises
Nothing shall forestall my return
To become the dew that quenches the land
To spare the sands, the seas, the skies
I offer thee this silent sacrifice

Female

Name	Relationship	Notes
Kaguya Yuuka	Friend	Yuuka was the one person in Kirigakure who Maikeru's always been able to rely on. She was always very accepting about his condition with the possessed arm and was his dearest friend since arriving in Kirigakure. However, they haven't spoken since he left the village.
Kusabana Manami	Former Student	Manami literally followed Maikeru home from Sunagakure and became his student. She has expressed some sort of crush or love interest for him, and they did date for a while a couple times, but have since parted ways.
Suzaku Yuri	Former Ally	Maikeru has run into Yuri only a few times. She seems to be an alright person for a Swordsman, though he doesn't go out of his way to spend any real time with her to get to know her.
Samoninoryuu Kei	Former Ally	Maikeru has only met Kei a couple times outside being led into war by her under the orders of Hikan. She doesn't really seem to care anything about how many people on either side die so long as the end result is what she wants. She also seems rather psychotic, but he doesn't really care to get to know her enough to find out any more about her than he already knows.
Kuorenko Sekisetsu	Former Ally	Sekisetsu is a temperamental little brat. She also seems to be rather dramatic about her life. Hopefully she'll grow up and stop being so annoying one day, but the odds of that aren't looking so good so far.
Kishi Mune	Tournament Opponent	Maikeru has only met Mune once, and that was at the tournament. During his fight with her, she injected some kind of drug in his neck and stunned him, which freed Jigoku. However, once Jigoku had taken over, a hole opened to the Void and sucked his soul into it. He is now aware that she is not the one that opened the Void and used what he learned from his match with her to advance in his own style of combat, adapting to be able to take on any given opponent.
Uesugi Mika	Ex-Girlfriend	Mika and Maikeru got along great as a couple at first, but, after the tournament in her homeland, she seemed to start treating him more and more like he was Jigoku himself rather than himself. They started getting on each other's nerves until they finally split when he went back to the Land of Demons for an investigation.
Fujiwara Ei	Acquaintance	Maikeru has met Ei a few times. She seems to be a fairly normal person from what he can tell, just attempting to get through life like anyone else.
Iga Sachiko	???	Maikeru and Sachiko met when he stopped by Sunagakure to get some supplies recently. She talked him into the Item Store and out of it just to see if she could get on his nerves enough to stir a reaction, and, well… She got her wish.

Male

Name	Relationship	Notes
Kaguya Takeshi	Friend	Takeshi is the man Maikeru respects most in all of Kirigakure. He trusts him for council and is glad to call him friend.
Kaguya Nori	Annoyance	While a strong warrior, Nori is foolish and arrogant, and a bit of a pest. Maikeru enjoyed watching him get taken down at the tournament, but he did make an agreement with Nori not to kill him so long as Nori stays out of his way. However, that doesn't mean he refrains from giving the Kaguya a thorough beat-down when he deserves it.
Okumo Meruin	Former Ally	While Meruin is quite powerful for a such a young boy, and that is impressive in itself, Maikeru doesn't really trust in the boy enough to see why he is a Chuunin. He seems to not really have any sort of control over his temper, which could turn out to be rather problematic in a war or mission situation.
Kyoumen Satsukiyami	Acquaintance	Satsukiyami doesn't really seem to be that bright. Maikeru offered to help him train after wiping the floor with him in the tournament, and he refused. Now, he wants to be accepted into Kirigakure. So long as he doesn't get in Maikeru's way, he will be tolerated.
Amuro	Ally(?)	Amuro unexpectedly appeared and gave Maikeru some guidance soon after Jigoku was reincarnated in his mind. Maikeru is quite grateful to Amuro, as he now knows exactly how Jigoku was taken away, as well as who helped out of a certain jam while he was still in Kirigakure.

Abilities

While he is no slouch in Genjutsu and Taijutsu, Maikeru's true talent lies in Ninjutsu, particularly Fuuinjutsu. The power of Jigoku sealed in his arm provides him with a rather excessive amount of power in this area. There are times it seems this power makes him invulnerable to attacks. It's been said he has at least one technique that could wipe out an entire area.

Theme Songs

This song represents how Maikeru feels about how things have been run in Kirigakure under Hikan's rule, as well as in other places where the powerful bring strife and chaos into the world on a whim, senselessly killing for no real reason.

+ Disturbed – Land of Confusion

This song applies to Maikeru in that he believes that all people should be free to choose their own way. He has fought his entire life to keep his own personality free of Jigoku's influence. Now that Jigoku's soul is gone, he is more able to live his own life.

+ Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core – The Price of Freedom

The meaning of this song will be partially left in mystery. Maikeru holds much dark power within him and has proven himself to be quite deadly. Perhaps one day his true purpose will be revealed.
