Raoken is a descendant of the ***Akuma Clan*** and resides within Iwagakure. He is fairly known by some as the assistant to the current Tsuchikage. He is also known for his brutal sadistic nature and sinister expression as that comes along with his bloodline. Spending his earlier years of life in service to another with cold steel around his wrist and ankle, as well as bloodying his knuckles before he could even speak a proper sentence as a pit fighter. Leaving him with the nickname of his clan, the ***Devil’s Mercenary**(悪魔傭兵, “Akuma Yōhei”)*.

## *Personality:*

Raoken is known for being an easy going individual that is compassionate towards those that he would call his friends or his family. Placing his trust in them without any regrets making him loyal as a soldier. However, a coin has two sides so does this shinobi as he suffered from split personality disorder that he developed from his time held as a slave at which the nature of his Akuma side had awaken. Thanks to the efforts of his brother and the others that he holds in high esteem, he created a “Human” personality that acts as a gatekeeper for a mental chain that is placed on his mind, sealing the Akuma in him away. Though this has been placed on Raoken, there is still the possibility of the chain being broken by his negative emotions. Such as anger, sadness, fear, and hatred this will shake the chains rattling them as if a caged beast sensing a chance at freedom. The sound of the chain will increase violently until it finally snaps. Breaking the seal and releasing the inner Akuma within him.

Once freed, the man known as Raoken is gone replacing him is a ruthless and sadistic creature that doesn’t even deserve to be called human. Some say more like a beast or even a demon living up to his last name. He will do anything in his might to get his hands on the person that has brought him out no matter what. One of the biggest indications of which person is in charge at that moment, is the twisted manifestation of sinister grin on his face that goes from ear to ear and his eyes roll into the back of his skull.

## *Chakra and Attributes:*

Akuma Chakra(悪魔チャクラ, "Akuma Chakura" ) a hybrid form of chakra that can be found to replace the normal chakra within the bodies of Akuma Clan members. Once the Akuma clan had made a deal with the yokai, for the promise of coexistence. The yokai had imparted the small clan with Yoki(lit. 妖気, “Demonic Energy”). Injecting such a malicious and potent form of energy with normal chakra proved to be problematic at first. As the mixture between the two didn’t wish to incorporate properly had driven individuals into madness or had resulted in death. It took many decades before their bodies finally incorporated the foreign energy into their own chakra. Creating an incredibly malicious that is fueled by various negative intense emotions that is held by everyone but the main emotion is hatred making this chakra unique to only the Akuma Clan members. It is nearly impossible to safely absorb this chakra and properly store it. As once their chakra is mixed within someone else's chakra network, it will project violent images of their own death as well as those close to them in many grotesque and brutal ways. While also unsuspectingly acts as a parasite, as once the chakra is integrated into another source of chakra will slowly start consuming it and expand to start consuming at a greater rate until the source is left drained. Without the proper willpower or removal of by the one who placed it there, the individual will be driven insane, and placing them on a murderous rampage. This is one of the main keys that is required to use the hallmark technique of the Akuma Clan, Descent of the Demon. The chakra has been noted to those that witness their chakra it will take a purplish black hue.

### *Chakra Level and Chakra Control*

*Raoken has made his way to the rank of Jonin, however, it was not due to his ninjutsu prowess as he didn’t properly utilize Chakra until he was well into his preteens. Besides small occurrences where his clan transformation was activated at time of danger. It wouldn’t be until his older brother had adopted him from slavery, that he would properly receive shinobi training in Iwagakure. Though Mazu had taught him taijutsu he still received advice about related to chakra and even how to control it properly. Still learning even to this day, he managed to manipulate his chakra to a great degree for someone who started learning not to long ago. By reaching this level of mastery it allows him to maintain his Akuma Style Jutsu’s longer than some of his clansmen can mainly his **Descent of the Devil** without needing to reach into his Life Force's physical energy. As well as his chakra reserves gaining an increase allowing him to use more advanced techniques that he wasn’t allowed access to. He has performed many Wind Release and Earth Release jutsu with ease due to already having a constant source to work from around him, and if Raoken should run out of chakra he can always absorb chakra from another source.*

### *Intelligence*

The lord of the earthly village did not have the luxury of being permitted to gain knowledge that was accessible in the world. From the moment of his birth his oppressor sought to instill upon him; "as long as those chains lie on your wrist, you are forever bound to my will". This was done to limit his creativity in hopes of transforming him into nothing but a subservient tool with a set of fists. However, the fates have deemed this to be an error that needed to be rectified. From his earlier years as a youth, Raoken was taught about many of his clan's traditions from the battle tactics to some of their most resourceful armaments accessible to him and even permitting his inventive young mind to develop a few new creations. Thankfully, having a once-in-a-lifetime encounter with a mysterious figure that was able to free him from his imprisonment and give him a home in the form of Iwagakure. Despite his late start with enrollment at the shinobi academy. The young earthly demon passed his fundamental academic classes with an average score rating him as an average shinobi to some. During his taijutsu exercises and practical bouts, he was considered a genius. During his tenure as a combat serf, Raoken’s mind had to process information quickly during combat or risk losing his life to his murderous opposition.

### *Life Force*

The Tsuchikage was blessed with a abundant amount of physical energy within his small frame thanks to his unique lineage. During the establishment of his clan centuries ago, they were one of the rare clans to implement selective breeding. This process bolstered their bodies functionality to their peak and increased their metabolism slowly halting their aging process as well permitting them to remajn at their peak longer than ordinary humans. The taboo breeding was practiced to assist in their long standing profession as daemon hunters. However, with the passing of time the soured relationship between the Akuma Clan and the Yokai race was mended. One of the gifts granted to the mercenary clan was the very essence of the demonic beings, Yōki. This energy substance is incredibly malicious and pernicious to ordinary beings, causing numerous detrimental consequences. With generations of adaptation to accommodate the foreign energy within their heightened frames, replacing their chakra and life force with it. Raoken’s physical energy is nothing to scoff at, being forced to fight nearly every single day of his life. It just like the old saying goes "If my hands are broken then I'll use my feet. If my feet are crippled then I'll use my head. If all else fails, then bite and curse with all your might."

### *Willpower and Intent*

Raoken's will is as strong and steadfast as the Earth that rests on its feet. Born a pariah of his clan, born in chains, and forced to fight every day a slave of underground combat. The inferior individuals would have staggered and yielded to the hand that they were treated, subjecting themselves to destiny. Yet Raoken had managed to survive with some minor bumps on the road, but he nevertheless survived and managed to prosper. He will have these memories of hardship with him for as long as he lives. No matter if his bones and body is broken or he is a corpse Raoken will drag his body up from the ground and stand tall to look his opponent in the eye and smile in their face. Raoken will never bow down in front of anyone and challenge them before he dies. Raoken is also a descendant of the Akuma clan, known for its steadfast will and murderous intent. Etching all his difficulties in his chakra, he frees his intention to kill to make others imagine their own deaths in different violent ways from a simple contact.

### *Sensory*

Not being known as the young lords most renowned attributes. He is by no means considered inadequate. During his reign as a young subterranean pugilist, he was limited in his sensory capacities having only to fight in small areas. Leaving him only able to utilize this limitation at the time to refine his senses to detect subtle bodily noise such as shallow respirations, the shattering of bones, the smell of their sweat and sometimes other bodily fluids that would release. After receiving proper training from his village, the hellion was able to bolster his sensory range to a six mile radius. Noticeably comparing his senses to that of a wild creature, with his sense of smell able to track all scents that enter his territory. Simultaneously, while his capability to distinguish sounds became more prominent as well as ocular vision became more meticulous.

### *Hand Seals*

Despite his ascension to the earthly throne of the village hidden beside the rocks, the devil's mercenary doesn't accel at properly maneuvering his hands to utilize hand seals believing to be a waste of time and effort. Though this is his own mindset, not receiving proper training in the shinobi arts in his youth instead being educated in the murim tactics of unarmed combat. Once Raoken successfully escaped from his imprisonment. He was granted the privilege to learn the way of the shinobi from Iwagakure and was properly instructed on how to formulate hand seals to utilize jutsus properly. As the career of the Earthly Demon continued to raise so did his mastery of control over his internal vigor, and eliminating the immediate need to utilize seals except for the legendary summoning jutsu and other high leveled techniques.

### *Strength and Durability*

The bodily strength of the Earthly Demon is not anything to scoff at as he is a murim practitioner. This was a life that was chosen for the young daemon being branded into his flesh as a part of the lowest tier of society; a slave. While he spent the majority of his youth behind the cold embrace of a cold Earthly cell. Not being allowed to see the light of day until he was nearly well into his teenage years. These strenuous days baptaized the physique of Raoken in a series of vicious bouts. While most shinobi receive direct training from the academic umbrella of their villages, Raoken was forced to learn the art of warfare through deadly skirmishes, be it against children of his own age or fully grown adults. He would have to face his opposition with his fist and teeth tightly clenched. Whilst manufacturing his physique in an unprecedented manner similar to a blacksmith forging a weapon, with his body being the metal and battle being the flame. Thankfully, during his adolescent years before the passing of his mother; the demonic leader received extensive training within his clan's devastating murim techniques bolstering his growth. This greatly contributed to his success with the unforgiving environment of the underground. Permitting him to implore the versatile tactics of his style with crippling capitulations, or by demolishing his opposition's frame with calamitous throws, and if unable to persist with either than a volley of penetrating strikes are utilized to render them comatosed. Despite his rigorous "training exercises" the young hellion's lineage within the infamous Akuma Family is another contributing factor to his prodigious frame as most subsidiaries are indoctrinated with a malicious substance known as Yōki. The heinous power recalibrates their beings by cleansing their marrow, and restructuring their bones; permitting them a body more suitable for combat.

### *Healing*

The unique physiology of the stone shadow lord is considered to be an anomaly amongst the world. His lineage descends from the Akuma clan, a family that has practiced the taboo breeding method to fortify their beings to be twice than what's permitted within the limitations of a normal human. Which is also reflected with the necessary amount of time needed for a full recovery; their hastened metabolism promotes accelerated cellular rehabilitation. Unfortunately, despite their unique genetic sequence. All members of the clan are still humans and require the same amount of time to recover albeit at a slightly quicker pace.

## *Jutsu:*

### *Taijutsu*

Raoken’s true bread and butter is his taijutsu which majority of his arsenal is focused around. His choice of fighting style is his Akuma clan’s signature style the Akuma Fist that was based on a very old game that was played by children all over the world named Jajanken or otherwise known as Rock, Paper, Scissor. However, don’t be misguided by the name of this, though it may seem like a childish game. It has ties to a dark history. This was known as one of the most brutal and complex taijutsu fighting styles of earlier times. The style was broke down into three categories that allows him to smash apart his opponents with strong strikes. With a firm and fluid stance he can take his opponent down to the ground damaging the organ system. Or he delivers an attack to vital points and joints with a finger jab or a well time submission. The complex nature of this taijutsu had been labeled dangerous. The training is grotesque and brutal with only a few who train in it barely being able to survive. Though for Raoken his whole life relied on mastering his craft or he would lose his life.

## "Genjutsu"

Raoken prowess with genjutsu is slightly limited as he can implant violent images of savagery into the mind of his enemies by injecting his own chakra into their bodies with no effort. However, that is not his only way of using genjutsu, as he developed a few manner of higher leveled genjutsu’s that even his clans namesake.

## "Fuinjutsu and Space-Time Ninjutsu"

Raoken doesn’t have much knowledge on Fuinjutsu or Space-Time Ninjutsu as his abilities don’t necessarily require either of the two. However, he has made it his mission to learn how to properly use both as it allows him to use the Summoning Technique. Allowing him to summon a wide variety of yokai depending on the amount of chakra that he has put forward.
