Mellow Tomogui (メロウ・トモグイ, Melodious Cannibal) is a member of the Legendary Tomogui Clan and the 2nd Son of the Mythical entity, Tenken Tomogui. While not amongst the strongest members of his clan, he is however the pride and joy of the clan alongside his brother in arms, Arata Tomogui. Though instead of taking sides like most of his clan, he takes after his mother who takes aspects from both branches to follow a different path, even though his association is with the Shitai Branch. Instead of living Separate, the two of them along with his eldest brother and sister, Satsujin Tomogui & Toshimi Tomogui, along with his twin brother, Xuân Tomogui and a few others who followed them ventured off near the Mist District and took over a cave, and renamed it Wendigo Cave.

## Backstory

### Whispers In The Demon District

In the heart of the mysterious Demon District, where shadows clung to every corner and the air hummed with an otherworldly energy, Mellow Tomogui came into existence. Born into the enigmatic Tomogui Clan, renowned for their connection to the supernatural, Mellow's early years unfolded within the confines of the Demon District. His mother, a formidable figure cloaked in shadows, held the secrets of the Wendigo lineage close. His childhood, marked by the constant dance between darkness and secrecy, was shared with his two brothers, Satsujin and Xuan, and his sister, Toshimi. The Tomogui home, a sanctuary nestled within the Demon District, concealed ancient powers and guarded the wendigo secrets passed down through generations after their curse. Arata Tomogui, a kinship born of shared blood and shared struggles, became Mellow's closest ally. Their friendship was forged amidst the training grounds and the echoing howls of the Demon District. Mellow and Arata, inseparable comrades, learned to harness the power of their Wendigo lineage, a legacy that demanded discretion and strength.

Within the confines of the Tomogui home, his mother guided them in the delicate art of melding their wendigo abilities with the shadows. The clan's survival depended on their ability to conceal their true nature from outsiders who sought to unravel the mysteries of the Demon District. As Mellow matured, so did his connection with Kurai, a fellow member of the Tomogui Clan. Their bond, nurtured in the crucible of the Demon District, became an anchor in the tumultuous sea of secrecy. Kurai, with her dark-purple hair and golden eyes that reflected the mysteries of the shadows, became Mellow's confidante and love. Their love blossomed amidst the challenges of their clandestine existence. Sneaking away to secluded corners of the Demon District, Mellow and Kurai shared stolen moments, their connection fortified by the shared weight of their clan's secrets. Yet, their love remained veiled, a precious secret guarded against the prying eyes of the Demon District. However, the tranquil rhythm of their existence shattered when Mellow turned eleven. An unseen rift split the Tomogui Clan into the Shitai and Kira branches. The reasons behind the division was due to the Kira branches savagery and inability to control the power of their curse, while the Shitai was almost the exact opposite, known only to the elders and leaders who whispered secrets in hushed tones.

The Shitai branch, to which Mellow and his family belonged, embarked on a journey to find a new home beyond the Demon District. The departure thrust the Tomogui Clan into uncertainty, forcing Mellow and Arata to confront the shadows that now threatened to consume their once-secure world. In the chaos that ensued, the bond between Mellow and Kurai strained under the weight of the Tomogui Clan's division. Misunderstandings, fueled by the urgency of their clan's survival, led Mellow to believe that Kurai had perished in the confrontation between the Shitai and Kira branches. As Mellow left the Demon District, his heart bore the scars of loss and betrayal, the shadows whispering secrets that would continue to unfold in the uncharted territories that awaited him beyond the Demon District.

### Shadows In The Mist

As Mellow and the Shitai branch departed from the Demon District, their journey became a testament to survival in the face of uncertainty. The winds of change whispered through the world, guiding the Clan to new lands and challenges. The journey led them through various districts, where the Shitai branch's wendigo abilities became both a weapon and a means of sustenance. The Shitai branch, once bound by the sacred secrets of the Demon District, found themselves hunting for survival. The shadows that once concealed them now became their allies as they navigated foreign territories. Mellow, guided by his mother and the instincts of his wendigo lineage, played a crucial role in leading the Shitai branch through the unfamiliar landscapes. Their travels took them to districts where the air crackled with different energies, and the inhabitants varied in their acceptance of the supernatural. In some places, the Shitai branch faced hostility, forcing them to utilize their wendigo abilities not only for survival but also to defend against those who sought to extinguish their existence.

The turning point came when they arrived at the Mist District a year later. Cloaked in perpetual fog and shrouded in an air of mystery, the Mist District offered a haven to those who could harness the power of the shadows. The Shitai branch, with Mellow at the forefront, discovered a cave within the wetlands, a mere three miles from the Mist Village. This hidden sanctuary became their refuge, a place where the Shitai branch could consolidate their strength and bide their time. The cave, adorned with the echoes of ancient shadows, offered them both secrecy and proximity to the Mist Village. As the Mist District veiled itself in the misty embrace, the Shitai branch embraced their new way of life. The wetlands surrounding their cave became their hunting grounds, and the Shitai branch learned to adapt, using their abilities to manipulate shadows and conceal their presence. Secrecy became their ally, and the cave, once an empty hollow, became a silent witness to the Shitai branch's evolution. Mellow, burdened by the memories of the Demon District and the loss of Kurai, channeled his emotions into honing his powers. The shadows within the Mist District embraced him, becoming both his confidante and his weapon.

In the depths of their cave, they plotted their return to prominence. They became a force to be reckoned with, silently observing the Mist Village from the shadows. Those who crossed their territory or ventured too close to their sanctuary faced the wrath of the wendigo, their existence extinguished without a trace. The Mist District, unaware of the silent threat lurking in the wetlands, continued its daily activities. The Shitai branch, now a phantom in the mist, remained hidden, waiting for the day when they would reclaim their place in the Demon District. The echoes of their abilities resonated in the damp air, a harbinger of shadows that lingered just beyond the veil of mist.

### Shadows In The Mist Unveiled

The Mist District witnessed the transformation of Mellow Tomogui from an enigmatic wendigo to a figure of prominence within their home. The Shitai branch, hidden within the damp caverns, forged an alliance with the Mist Village under a deal brokered by Mellow's mother, Tenken Tomogui and the former Mizukage, Isamu Chinoike. The terms of the deal allowed members of the Shitai branch to join the Mist Village, pledging their allegiance and loyalty in exchange for protection and shared knowledge. Mellow's mother, recognizing the potential benefits for her people, struck the agreement with the previous Mizukage. The Mist Village, ever in need of strong allies, welcomed the Shitai branch into its fold. As the Shitai members integrated into the Mist Village, Mellow found himself facing a new chapter in his life. The once-hidden wendigo now walked the streets of the Mist District, his eyes reflecting a blend of shadows and newfound purpose. The Mizukage, Isamu Chinoike, recognized Mellow's potential and offered to mentor him, forming a bond between mentor and student.

Under Isamu's tutelage, Mellow honed his abilities with a new perspective. Isamu, a master of his own techniques, imparted not only the skills of a shinobi but also the wisdom required to navigate the complex currents of the Mist Village. During his time as a Genin in the Mist Village, Mellow found unexpected companionship in Isamu's daughters. Close friendships formed between Mellow and the sisters, but it was Soma who captivated his heart. The Mist District, with its misty shroud, became a canvas for the budding emotions Mellow harbored for Soma. However, Mellow's heart remained guarded. The shadows of loss from his past, particularly the pain he felt with Kurai, haunted his every step. Fearful of revisiting the agony of heartbreak, Mellow restrained his feelings, burying the romantic inklings he harbored for Soma beneath layers of camaraderie.

Years passed, and Mellow earned the trust and respect of the Mist Village. His actions, driven by loyalty to the village and a determination to protect those he cared for, solidified his place within the Mist District. Yet, the whispers of shadows within his heart lingered, a silent reminder of the sacrifices he had made and the love he dared not pursue. At the age of 14, having spent considerable time proving himself, Mellow approached Isamu Chinoike and expressed his desire to officially become a Genin of the Mist Village. Isamu, recognizing Mellow's growth and commitment, granted his request, marking the beginning of a new phase in Mellow's journey within the Mist.

### Shadows Unleashed, Bonds Forged

Mellow's journey in the Mist Village took an unforeseen turn at the age of sixteen when the village faced a dire threat from the shadow realm beasts. The insidious creatures, born from the twisted depths of the shadows, descended upon the Mist District with malevolent intent. The village, shrouded in mist, found itself teetering on the brink of chaos. As the first line of defense alongside Isamu and Lord Mizukage, Mellow stood shoulder to shoulder with them. The air crackled with tension as the beasts, grotesque manifestations from the shadow realm, emerged from the depths of the mist. Mellow, drawing upon the wendigo abilities he had honed under Isamu Chinoike's guidance, became a formidable force on the front lines. During the fierce battle, a surge of emotions and determination awakened a latent power within Mellow – the Onishika transformation. The shadows embraced him, and his wendigo form evolved into a fearsome manifestation of both demonic power and indomitable will. The Onishika, with its imposing presence, became a beacon of hope amidst the encroaching darkness.

The Mizukage, witnessing Mellow's newfound transformation, rested in awe as he fought with unparalleled ferocity. The Onishika form, a testament to the mastery of his wendigo prowess, proved instrumental in repelling the shadow realm beast. His bravery and the potency of his transformation earned him the admiration and respect of his peers. Two weeks before the Chunin Exams, Mellow's achievements took a new dimension as he successfully harnessed the wendigo transformation. The Chunin Exams unfolded in the heart of the Stone Village, a culmination of aspiring shinobi eager to prove their mettle. Mellow, now a prominent figure among the participants, faced a series of challenges that tested not only his strength but also his strategic acumen and adaptability. As the exams progressed, Mellow's leadership skills emerged. The Mist Village, recognizing his potential, awaited the moment when Mellow would ascend to the ranks of Chunin.

The final stages of the Chunin Exams brought Mellow face to face with formidable opponents. His battle, fought with his special wendigo techniques, showcased the culmination of years of training and dedication. In a climactic showdown, Mellow emerged victorious with his team, the echoes of his triumph resonating through the districts. As he received his new ascendance, Mellow felt a profound sense of accomplishment. The village that once sheltered him during uncertain times now acknowledged him as one of its protectors. The Mist Village, under the leadership of Mizukage Kazuo, welcomed Mellow as a valued Chunin, and the bonds he forged with Isamu and Kazuo deepened. Isamu Chinoike, once a mentor, had become a father figure to Mellow. The Mizukage, Kazuo, evolved from a leader figure to a more brother like bond. The Mist Village, bound by the shadows that concealed its secrets, now embraced Mellow as one of its own, a testament to the unyielding spirit that had arisen from the depths of the wendigo's journey.

## Personality

On the surface, Mellow is outwardly friendly, possessing an approachable and charismatic air. Others describe him as talking and acting in a calm and carefree manner. However, his brothers and sister describe him to be somewhat of a psychopath as he has strong tendencies that suggests so; A perfect example is his twisted and sadistic side where he relishing in his own pain and suffering and feels excitement rather than deterrent. He also adopts sick beliefs and habits, such as ruthlessly and happily murdering and devouring people to gain power. Mellow has moments that will make people think he's clinically apathetic and almost unable to experience proper emotions. He himself admits that the concept of emotion is almost foreign to him as he only has strong emotions for a hand full of people. By being aware that this is abnormal, Mellow compensates for this with his own charisma. He learned to express his carefree demeanor enough to deceive all.

Beneath the surface of his carefree and unassuming demeanor, he has a personality that is anything but ordinary as he is a cold and calculating individual with an extremely keen intellect. His intelligence may be the reason why he looks down on others weaker, genuinely believing that they are pathetic and will even cry out of pity for them. This condescending attitude towards others is another thing as he won't waste his time fighting people below him, feeling like he's disrespecting himself by actively putting in the effort to entertain them. Mellow's lack of fear and unyielding nature adds another layer to his complex personality. He seemingly fears nothing and no one, facing challenges head-on without hesitation. This fearless demeanor is a driving force that propels him to confront even the most daunting of adversaries, his unwavering resolve unmarred by doubt or apprehension.

## Attributes

### *Speed & Stamina*

With his stamina, Mellow is able to fight for periods of time that most will think he doesn't need rest between fights, even after performing complicated and stamina taxing movements; he can continue doing such things for an entire day before he needs to rest and recover. As far as his speed goes, he is fast enough to where some individuals aren't able to keep up with his movements, even being able to outrun a train with little to no effort whatsoever and at his max completely disappear from view and reappear within the blink of an eye.

### *Intent & Willpower*

Mellow has a way of adjusting the thoughts of others simply by having a conversation with them, using his manipulative ways to get what he wants and make others think what he's saying is the best way to do things regardless of the situation. When using his powers, his intent is heightened to the point he can simply scare someone into doing whatever it is he wants them to or doesn't want them to. While his willpower matches hand in hand with his intent, most things doesn't phase him due to the type of area he grew up around and so far the only being who's ever been able to actually put fear into him is his mother, especially when she goes into her unique variation of their clan transformation.

### *Strength & Durability*

Mellow's physical resistance was gained through the sheer intensity of his training.  Being from such a powerful family that adapted to the harsh environment in his forest, his mother worked with him daily to the point his strength alone is able to lift the executioner blade with a single hand and shatter someone's jaw with only a single strike. Mellow has been beaten in ways that some would deem as abuse due to his ways of training with his mother which was also the way he wanted to be trained not only to prove to himself, but to prove to anyone who doubts him that he's more than capable of handling what they dish out even without commiting constant cannibalism. Eventually his body began growing accustomed to these kinds of powerful strikes to the point where attacks of that caliber no longer affect him to the point he gives up, but instead continues to push through the pain and fight until he HAS to stop.

### *Sensory*

Due to his chakra control, Mellow strengthened his ability to use chakra as a sensory like technique which was something he couldn't do as a child. However, he soon became able to sense chakra across a max distance of 100 meters as well as being able to also determine the exact distance, without the need of a dojutsu. His sensory is like that of a bear, able to hear and smell his prey from 3 miles away. Though, he soon learned to be able to enhance these senses even further with the use of his chakra, becoming able to detect his prey from 4 miles away though smell, and 5 miles away through hearing.

### *Life Force &* *Healing*

Mellow's life force goes in tandem with his healing, as such; Due to his clans ability to heal through consuming flesh helps them when it comes to such things to a point where some will believe Mellow is immortal unless they actually cut his head off or stab him directly through the heart with fire hot enough to melt through his demonic ice heart. While he doesn't commit cannibalism on live beings, he does eat corpses of other humans and eat the flesh of animals rather they are cooked or raw which keeps his healing capabilities at it's peak for his power level. As such, he isn't able to regrow an limbs like a leg or an arm without rest BUT if a limb is broken or twisted; for example, if someone grabs his leg, Mellow can completely twist his leg in order to deliver a blow to escape and his body will retwist it fast enough for him to use it almost instantly. Consuming live beings adds to his own life force which he stopped doing at a very young age which is why he can't handle most attacks like the Kira Branch of his clan, but since he has done it in the past his life force isn't as weak as those from the Shitai branch.

## Chakra & Chakra Attributes

### *Chakra*

Surprisingly, Mellow possesses an unusual amount of chakra for his age and rank as a Genin, to his explanation it's from his origins as a 'wendigo' and the constant feeding of others to gain more reserves, though his body doesn't allow more chakra to be added to him than what his body is capable of handling. He also trained his body properly to the point his chakra level rose as he put in more effort into conditioning himself, eventually allowing his body to be able to adapt to the style he uses. However, his reserves only match the level of a Chunin.

### *Chakra Control*

With his impressive reserves of chakra, it was a bit difficult for him to control; However, as he got older and learned more about chakra and its control, Mellow quickly learned to properly use some of this power for various purposes to prepare himself for the migration to different locations away from the Land Of Demons. At the age of 11, he began to master how to use its power for battle more efficiently, which made him able to fight alongside his mother and the others against any shinobi who may possibly threaten their home by the time he became a Genin. However, he still hasn’t quite mastered the full potential of this chakra and still has some work to do before he’s able to fully master it.

## Jutsu

### *Taijutsu &* *Ninjutsu*

When it comes to taijutsu, Mellow adapts the longer he fights. His unique ability to learn at an impressively fast rate in the heat of battle is one that he is known for within the Tomogui Clan. For this reason, he can mimic almost any fighting style no matter how complex unless the style requires a certain type of Dojutsu to use such as the Gentle Fist style that requires the Byakugan. However, outside of that he is definitely a force to be reckoned with in close combat. This works as well when it comes to Ninjutsu; Even though this isn't something he relies heavily on, it still gives him a sense of joy to do so with his opponents.

### Kenjutsu

Due to training and refining his swordsmanship skill for almost 6 years, Mellow has become one of the most powerful and skilled swordsman within the Tomogui Clan even at his young age. Mellow's skill in the blade allowed him to defeat his older brother, a wendigo who is extremely skilled in hand-to-hand combatant and martial arts. With his exceptional sword wielding skill, he could singlehandedly take on Haneul, Satsujin and another member of his clan when they were training. His sword skills is further empowered by the development of his own heritage and chakra, which greatly improves the lethality and power of his techniques, making every single one of his sword swings incredibly deadly. So much so that he was recognized by the seven swordsman of the mist and became an apprentice, plus with the type of blade he wields, he can choose between the Executioner Blade (Kubikiribōchō) or the Helmet Splitter (Kabutowari) should he ever fully decide to become one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

## Fighting Styles

### *Ryōshi Style: (Kenjutsu)*

Ryōshi Style (猟師,Hunter) is a sword style that was created by Mellow by combining his father's brute kenjutsu style with the elegance of his mothers. Due to training and refining his swordsmanship skill for almost 4 years added with his physical capabilities, Mellow has become the most powerful and skilled swordsman within the Tomogui clan after his father and a few other adults. Being taught by two outstanding sword users, his swordsmanship was already impressive for his age as he learnt them from Tenken and Kyuuketsu himself. Mellow's skill in the blade allowed him to defeat Kyuuketsu, the very man who taught him Kenjutsu style to begin with who was also his father. With his exceptional sword wielding skill, he could singlehandedly take on Inari, Segoshi and Xaûn when participating in a 3v1 training session to test his kenjutsu skills. Mellow's swordsmanship is further empowered with the curse that the blade carries along with his ability to mic his kenjutsu with his taijutsu, which greatly improves the lethality and power of his techniques, making every single one of his sword swings incredibly deadly. Especially since his style was created to make cutting through flesh easier while also having it's unpredictable nature in combat.

## Hiden

Mellow has only transformed into the state of the Onishika a single time through its trigger, and thus cannot transform at will, so his mastery over this will only be at a level of 5%.
