Let darkness take you...
Name: Orochimaru

Age: 51

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Character Appearance: Orochimaru has a rather inhuman complexion. His long black hair, falling to just past shoulder length, frame a face of terribly pale skin and yellow eyes with slits like those of a snake. Violet markings also play over these eyes, the only color visible on his skin. His mouth has slightly longer than average canines, giving him fangs that make him all the more snakelike. He’s fairly tall and extremely imposing.

For attire, he wears light gray robes, short sleeved and cut high along either side up past the thighs. Underneath he wears a black, long sleeved shirt and pants. He also has a thick, purple rope wrapped about his waist and knotted tight in the back. His ankles are bandaged and he wears a black variety of ninja sandals. Behind his long raven hair are a pair of magatama earrings, magatama being a type of curved bead.

Character Personality: Orochimaru is sadistic and uncaring, focusing on his own goals and wishes while to damn with those who he uses or who get in his way. An example of this is the many experiments he did on human test subjects, often kidnapped and causing many deaths without any more sympathy from the snake sannin than the regret at losing a fresh body in which to perform more experiments on. He craves power, which has drove him to create a technique for immortality and has sent him on his quest to learn every jutsu there is in the world and become the ultimate being.

Interesting enough, Orochimaru seems to have a knack of sorts for obtaining loyalty from his followers. He finds many people who are desperate or craving for power and easily rallies them to his cause. Many of his subordinates admire and respect him, as well as believe deeply in his cause. They would willingly give up their lives to serve him and see his dreams come true. However, the loyalty isn’t mutual, as he has often sacrificed some of his followers as one would sacrifice a pawn in chess, using them as they are necessary to achieve his ends without so much as the batting of an eye in regret.

Character History: Originally a shinobi of the Hidden Leaf Village, Orochimaru was a student under Sarutobi, alongside Jiraiya and Tsunade, all of whom would later be known as the Three Legendary Sannin. From a young age, he was a talented ninja, the genius of the group who’s sensei had high hopes of him becoming Hokage one day. But though he was talented and powerful, Orochimaru didn’t have the key component required to taking on such a mantle, the capacity to love and protect his fellow villagers. The truth was that all he desired was power, and Hokage would just be a stepping stone along his path to achieving said power.

Eventually Orochimaru’s dark personality spiked, as he began to kidnap fellow leaf ninja to be used as test subjects in his various experiments, such as the jutsu that he currently employs to obtain eternal life so that he can complete his quest of achieving mastery of all jutsu in the world and becoming the ultimate being. Such action when discovered by Sarutobi, prompted him to act and forced him into a situation where he should have killed his former student, but couldn’t on emotional reasons. Instead, the Snake Sannin was driven out, even being chased after by his former teammate, Jiraiya, who was sent to also kill him but couldn’t for the same emotional ties as the team‘s former sensei.

Defecting from his home village, knowing that he had nothing left to gain by staying there besides, Orochimaru teamed up with Akatsuki for a time. His time spent with the organization is murky at best, but he eventually left the group. One reason he claims to have departed is Itachi Uchiha’s rising power. Being interested in obtaining the sharingan to further his quest of obtaining all jutsu, he wanted Itachi’s body, but settled for lining up his sights on the weaker brother still living in Konoha.

Remaining in the shadows for some time, the Snake Sannin founded his own village of the Hidden Sound. At the year that Sasuke and the rest of Kakashi’s team entered the Chunin exams hosted in Konoha, Orochimaru decided it was time to implement his plans in both obtaining a Uchiha host body and bringing Konoha to ruin. Forging a pact with the Hidden Sand Village, the two villages agreed to attack the leaf village during the third examination. Though the invasion was a failure in the end, Orochimaru pulled off the most important part of his mission by applying the cursed mark to Sasuke during the second exam and giving him a taste of the power he had to offer the Uchiha boy in his quest for revenge.

During the failed invasive strike, Orochimaru had his arms sealed by the Third Hokage, his old sensei, before the old man died from his own jutsu. Being robbed of most of his vast arsenal of techniques, he went in search of his old teammate Tsunade who, being a medical ninja, could probably heal his arms. She refused and, with the help of Jiraiya who was also seeking her out at the time, entered into a climatic battle that sent the Three Legendary Sannin clashing against one another.

With his first attempt at healing his arms a lost cause, Orochimaru needed to change bodies before his painful problem became lethal. Thankfully for him, Sasuke finally chose to seek him out to find out what other powers he had to offer the youth. However, the young Uchiha’s bout with his fox child teammate made his time until arrival too long and Orochimaru needed to change hosts before he could arrive. What’s more, the Uchiha mysteriously disappeared during that fight.

Recently, while pondering what to do with his plans so suddenly cut asunder, Orochimaru has been brought to the same place as his desired host body has been dragged to. Never one to lose stride, the Snake Sannin is already shifting his plans for the new world that he finds himself in and the change in predicament has done nothing to slack his interest in the Uchiha child.

Special Abilities/Powers:

Orochimaru is a shinobi of the Naruto Universe and therefore most of his talents lay in his chakra capacity and the variety of jutsu that he has in his arsenal. Due to his belief that the secret to unlocking the mysteries of life and becoming the ultimate being stem from the mastery of all jutsu, he has obtained a vast number of techniques. This number is unknown, as he has only shown a sample of what he has learned thus far, but it most likely is even greater than the thousand jutsu that Kakashi of the sharingan is famed to have copied into his possession.
___

Cursed Seal Technique - A mark applied to Orochimaru’s most powerful followers through a bite from the snake sannin. After the mark is first applied, the subject loses consciousness, having a ten percent chance of waking up alive and with the first level of the seal appearing as a tattoo on the spot where they were bitten. These curse marks vary widely, but all have some things in common. They each have three identical symbols around the point of fang penetration, which organize into a circular formation.

The seal forcibly draws out chakra from the body of the curse mark’s host, so that when they activate it they will obtain greater chakra capacity than what they are capable of without it. Along with this comes an increase in physical parameters, directly produced by the increased reserves of chakra. There are two stages of the cursed seal, the first being a spreading of the tattoo at the bite zone across the entire body, accompanied by a glowing of the spreading marks during the initial activation. The second and final level of the cursed seal varies more widely, spreading across the entire body of the user and changing their skin color, as well as a variety of other things such as hair color and length and the applying of horns, wings, tails or other new appendages. Both forms also typically share a yellowing of the eyes and a blacking out of the retinas.

While the first seal requires just a bite from Orochimaru, the upgrading to level two is more complicated, as it requires the one with the applied mark to enter a temporary state of ‘death’ if they want to live through the ordeal. This is achieved through the effects of the seishingan drug and Four Black Fog Formation Seal technique. The second level seal eats away at the user’s personality, often driving them to madness after prolonged uses. Besides that, it can take a toll on the person’s body.

Four Black Fog Formation Seal - Used to reduce the effects of the seishingan drug, the user is sealed into a container and won’t die, but rather enter a comatose like state for the temporary period of the cursed seal’s change into its level two state.

Five Elements Seal - Used to strengthen the seal restraining the demon fox within Naruto. The results are a Naruto who can’t seem to use the demon fox’s chakra or even control his own chakra very efficiently. This has already been used on the fox child once, though later removed by Jiraiya’s own technique, the Five Elements Unseal.

Death Foreseeing Technique - A genjutsu technique that paralyzes its target by showing them a vision of their own gruesome death. Along with being paralyzed, the one under the illusion is overwhelmed with fear, causing severe mental stress to the victim.

Hidden Shadow Snake Hand - The user projects a number of snakes from their wrist or sleeve as they thrust out their hand towards the intended target. These serpents can stretch out to reach a target from a distance and can hold a target in place or inflict a multitude of potentially venomous wounds.

Hidden Shadow Many Snakes Hand - An adaptation of the Hidden Shadow Snake Hand, but simply with many more snakes that can stretch much farther than the variety from the former jutsu.

Kusanagi Sword: Long Sword of the Heavens - A technique that summons the Kusanagi of Japanese folklore. It is called out from a snake’s mouth, which in turn is called out of Orochimaru’s own mouth. The sword can emerge with either its handle or blade extending first, allowing him to wield it from his mouth if need be. The sword is special, being able to cut through almost anything (though not the chakra of Naruto’s Four Tail form), extend to many times its own length, and be controlled from a distance by Orochimaru’s will.

Leech All Creation: Attack Prevention Technique - The user merges with another object and takes on its properties as an escape to avoid damage.

Living Corpse Reincarnation - Developed by Orochimaru, this is his answer to obtaining immortality. This technique allows him to transfer his consciousness into the body of another. He can only perform this jutsu once every three years and at the same time he needs to perform it every three years. This is because the host bodies tend to reject him after this allotted time, most likely due to the difficulty of the chosen bodies being able to contain his considerable power.

Summoning: Impure World Resurrection - A forbidden summoning technique that allows the revival of the dead. A living human sacrifice is required in order to tie the soul of the targeted deceased to the living world. This sacrificed body is surrounded by compacted dust and dirt that takes on the shape of the soul’s original body. The summoned deceased will rise from the ground in a wooden coffin. More than one can be brought back to life if the user has enough chakra, which Orochimaru indeed does have.

Remembering everything from their past lives, the revived person isn’t completely under the user’s control. However, by applying seals through tags tied to kunai knives, the user can erase these memories and create obedient servants. One of the most dangerous things about these once dead is that they cannot be killed by normal means, any damage that they suffer being almost instantly regenerated. The only way to destroy them is by removing their souls or killing the one who raised them from the dead.

Summoning Technique (Snakes) - Orochimaru has a summoning contract with snakes, allowing him to summon them into battle. There are several lesser snakes that he regularly calls on, including a few relatively humongous snakes, one of which even has three heads. The most powerful of all his serpents is Manda, who often demands a hundred human sacrifices every time he’s summoned to help in combat. He has a dark attitude, respecting no one. He only follows Orochimaru because of his power and wouldn’t hesitate to kill even him if he were stripped of that supremacy.

Soft Physique Modification - This ability allows Orochimaru to stretch and twist any part of his body well beyond their normal length and at any angle, making his body extremely malleable and snakelike.

Summoning: Rashomon - A technique that summons a giant demonic-faced gate that is capable of blocking almost any attack.

Triple Rashomon - An advanced version of the Summoning: Rashomon technique, where Orochimaru simply summons three gates to create an even stronger defense.

Vanishing Facial Copy Technique - This technique allows the user to peel off the face of another person and wear it like his own. Not only does this help one to effectively impersonate the person of the stolen face, but it also allows the user to copy their voice. Orochimaru can apparently produce this effect at will to recreate his original face while switching host bodies.

Wind Release: Great Breakthrough - A powerful explosion of wind is produced from the user’s location, leveling much in its path.

Besides those listed above, Orochimaru has several techniques and abilities that haven’t yet been given a name. An adaptation to his Hidden Shadow Snake Hand is to produce a giant snake from his sleeve. He can also produce many snakes from his mouth rather than his hands, enough to produce a sizable wave of serpents. He’s capable of shedding his skin away, usually by emerging from the old skin’s mouth. Once, after being split in half, snakes were revealed slithering around along the cut line of his lower and upper halves, stretching out to pull together and rejoin the severed body. His body also seems rather resilient to harm, as he took and shrugged off quite a beating from Tsunade, not so small a feat considering her monstrous strength. However, this may just be a utilization of the Soft Physique Modification that allows him to stretch his neck, limbs and body. He has also been seen to spit out swords that turn into snakes.


Quirks: Orochimaru uses those loyal to him oftentimes as pawns. He is also obsessive about obtaining all of the jutsu techniques in the world and becoming some sort of ultimate being through the vast knowledge.
