## Appearance

Kasai has somber, azure eyes that look like they are working some sort of magic you have yet to encounter until now. Through his composed and serious gaze, there is a sultry allure. On the rare occasion that he is caught in one's peripheral view, most commonly, they come to notice his glossy gaze, peering at them. They speak and he listens, yet seldom does he reply. He continues to look upon them, though it is not a blank gaze. No, it is far more attentive than that. Those who look into his eyes are often caught in a tug of war, battling for who will look away first. Some have come to believe he can hear their soul. They tend to avoid looking in his direction when he does enter a room, though if they haven’t already seen him, they have most likely not caught onto the fact that he is there, watching.

## Personality

Kasai is a kind and gentle young man. Generally pacifistic, Kasai would prefer to spend his days in peace and quiet, helping others without the need for raised voice or violence. If a problem can be solved without conflict, he will endeavor to go down that conflict free route to the best of his ability. That being said, he's not blinded by his desire to avoid conflict and knows that when it's not possible to avoid, he needs to step up and be ready to fight.

During combat, Kasai prefers to try and hinder his opponents more than to harm them at first, unless his opponent is a true threat to his village. His preferred techniques are draining or restraining jutsu unless he knows his opponent is aiming to kill him or those close to Kasai. When such a case is apparent, Kasai will generally try to end things quickly if he's against a regular Shinobi or try and figure out the opponent's abilities if they are a more intelligent being. Once he gets a grasp on their abilities, he will try to figure out how to counter them with his current abilities, if possible. If he can work out a solution, Kasai will try to end the battle quickly, having no desire to be in conflict more than is necessary.

In social situations, Kasai is rather shy and generally slow to warm up to others. This is doubly so if he feels the person he is interacting with is hostile or generally more prone to violence. Facing such people, he will generally prefer to hide and avoid them, at least until they show a kinder or more gentle side. When Kasai warms up to people, he can show his brighter and more open personality, being easily amused by the antics of others and quick to offer his help if they have a problem he feels he can help with.

If one were to try and find out what it was that motivated Kasai to work against his pacifistic nature and take on a job that will involve him in conflict, they would find that the boy is motivated by a sense of responsibility and a desire to prove himself. Kasai feels a need to thank the family that took him in when they didn't need to and to prove that despite not being a member of family by blood, he is just as worthy to carry the Kamizuru name as much as his older siblings. It is with these attributes that Kasai can push himself to do the kinds of things he would usually detest, within reason.

## **Abilities**

* **Ninjutsu**

The first thing Kasai mastered, his standard form of attack, and the very thing he is known and feared for, Ninjutsu. Kasai's use of Ninjutsu is a feast for the eyes, like a bird flying naturally through the sky because it comes to them naturally the same thing can be said for Kasai. The jutsu he casts, each one hits with an uncanny impact, sending thunderous roars throughout the vicinity. He weaves them together with such elegance it's as if watching a performance take place, as he ensnares foes with Fuinjutsu before calling down their demise. Kasai possesses a captivating ability to sculpt beeswax and honey from within his body, channeling their emergence through his pores, thereby granting him an extensive range of applications involving chakra-infused honey during the heat of battle. Furthermore, he exhibits the prowess to exert control over his bees, empowering him to direct their venomous stingers towards adversaries and proficiently utilize various bee-related Jutsu for strategic advantage.

* **Kenjutsu**

Kasai is not a fan of kenjutsu but trains in it in order due to it being a requirement to being a Shinobi. That being said, when he does train, he trains hard. Kasai's main reasons for disliking kenjutsu come from a dislike for face-to-face confrontation, as well as a lack of belief that someone with his lanky build would be able to hold their own against others in a physical contest, forgetting that one's physical appearance does not determine the strength of the Shinobi.

* **Unique Traits**

**Reaction Speed:** By way of being born betwixt a clan teetering off the edge of survival and a clan that has always emphasized survival of the fittest with neither giving him any favor by nature of his birth along with the times in which he was raised in it was made clear to Kasai very early on in life that he would have to fight tooth and nail to score on a moving goal post. Luckily the only thing saving him from being a castaway entirely from the start was his own potential, but unlucky for him at the same time as once he began to have aspirations to become a Shinobi his adoptive father would make every form of 'training' as difficult on him as possible to break his spirit so they'd have an excuse to deem him worthless. Oftentimes he would be forced to spar in gauntlets against both his peers and even his elders for hours on end. As a result he developed devil like reflexes allowing him to make the slightest adjustments in response to his opponent's movements off muscle memory alone near instantaneously.

**Perception Of Motion:** As a result of being made to constantly fight every waking moment of everyday on top of having to seek out knowledge on his own time Kasai became very avid in studying, learning, and putting into practice all the possible ways a body can be made to move and in numerous sequences. This makes him extremely proficient in predicting his opponent's next move based solely on the smallest of tells.

**Genius-level Intellect:** Kasai's greatest weapon is his intelligence, which would be considered a genius by most definitions. He has a borderline photographic memory, being able to remember the individual faces and names of over hundreds of people. He repeatedly displays ingenuity in combat, using clever tactics to surpass his opponents' own abilities and come out the victor.

**Trap Master:** Kasai demonstrates remarkable proficiency in devising and implementing highly effective traps, usually involving bees, that can immobilize enemies. Notably, he possesses the skill to conceal these traps to such a degree that even Sensors, despite thoroughly surveying the terrain, remain unaware of their existence. His ability to hide traps with such precision adds an element of surprise and advantage to his tactical approach.

**Master Of Espionage:** Kasai possesses a very pragmatic and resourceful intellect; demonstrating a knack for improvisation during the heat of combat. Kasai often relies on taking his opponents by surprise in order to gain the advantage; his tactical unpredictability and resourcefulness coupled with his almost bullet-time speed makes him a daring foe. Capable of intercepting even the most private of discussions with master class slight of hand with his bees.

* **Insectoid Abilities**

**Stinger Projection:** The user can generate chakra-infused stingers that can be projected from their eyes or fingertips. These stingers can pierce through defenses and deliver a venomous strike, causing paralysis or weakening the opponent.

**Swarm Mastery:** The user can conjure swarms of chakra-infused bees that follow their commands. These swarms can be deployed for reconnaissance, distraction, or to launch targeted assaults. They can create barriers, inflict venomous stings, or disorient opponents.

**Honey Barrier:** By manipulating chakra and pollen, the user can create temporary barriers with the properties of honey. These barriers are both resilient and sticky, ensnaring opponents upon contact and slowing down their movements.

**Venom Control:** The user can infuse their attacks with potent bee venom, introducing paralyzing or weakening effects upon striking an opponent. The venom can also disrupt an opponent's chakra flow, hampering their ability to use Jutsu effectively.

**Colony Synchronization:** The user can establish a deep mental connection with a summoned bee colony, granting them access to advanced tactics, shared sensory information, and precise control over swarms during battle.

**Bee Manipulation:** The user can control various species of bees. They control them to do their bidding, for example, helping them during situations, using them against foes, and using them to see locations and gather information about a particular place. Some can see through the insects' eyes that are controlled allowing them to spy on others. Users can also understand or communicate with them, hence creating and strengthening friendships.
