[attr="class","appear"]
Height: 5'7
Weight: 123 lbs
Hair Color: Black. Hidden beneath his mask, and typically unkept.
Eye Color: Left: Purple. / Right: Red (cybernetics)
Attire: Of course, the mask. This covers the face and the top of the head, allowing holes for only the eyes in two of the spiraling dots in it's pattern. It is completely white par the black circles emanating from the center of the dots, which are arranged in a triangular pattern. A black skin tight fabric covers the rest of the face, and the mask is held in place by a purple headband.

Typically wearing his robes, these are a deep purple, perhaps even black in the right light. The sleeves are long and baggy, and it has a rather large, open collar that can reach over the chin. The robes are held in place by a large white band around the waist, and anything below blows freely in the wind.

His pants are black and baggy, typically hidden under his robes and only reaching around the calve, as white boot/sandal like footwear covers the rest of him up. In an attempt to hide every inch of skin, it seems he has even taken to covering his hands in black leather gloves.

Alternate: On particularly covert operations, he tends to dress in a much longer black robe with a hood, possible of hiding even his white mask in shadow.
Abnormalities: None are known, but there are many theories that he is disgustingly disfigured beneath his mask, hides battle wounds, or may even just be hiding cold sores. Who knows? Only he.

Karyu knew little of his childhood. He has warm memories of a caring father, a loving mother, and surprisingly beautiful, red eyes gazing down at him. He believes his upbringing to have been a good one, but knows little beyond that. Though the details are lost to him, his parents, a pair of traveling shadetails, had been attacked on a return journey home for details on their homeland. Of course they had been sworn to secrecy, and this only angered their attackers further, killing the adult shadetails without mercy, and taking their child for profit.

Unluckily for the pirates, it was hard to sell off a shadetail of only 4 years old, especially when that shadetail had been granted a human form on birth. Instead he was passed off as a human child who would "Grow into any role."

The sale price was unsurprisingly quite low.

Having been bought by a bounty hunter, he was left confused and asking for his mother and father, still believing this all to be some part of a confusing game. He was left bound and shackled until the man released him from his chains miles from the sabaody archipelago. Though he understood little at the time, it was explained to him that this man had a similar upbringing. Sold as a slave at a young age and brought up by a kind and bright mind in his own mentor. Though still a game to him at this age, he was offered the chance to train with the man, and maybe find his parents again. He of course agreed, and his goal stuck with him for years to come.

At the age of 14, he had begun to understand that this was no longer a game, but was still determined to continue under the training of his new mentor. He knew full well that he could not travel the seas alone with such little strength, and if he was honest with himself, he began to lose hope that he would find his old life...perhaps he just didn't care anymore. Even he was unsure.

As troubling a time this was for him mentally, it was also a confusing time as he began to unlock his shadetail abilities by accident. Be it simple illusions or a change of his hair, it began to hint at his true race, and only made him lose hope further when he was told his race lived in hiding, and that even one of their own kind may not be able to find them if they were not raised there. He worried if his race would also produce spite from his mentor, and his fellow hunters, but he received none of this. He was seen only as another hunter by now, and felt more welcome for it.

As the years passed he worked on mastering his races array of skills, as well as those taught to him by the other hunters. At the age of 18 he was given two gifts. His mentor's blade, supposedly passed on to him by his own master, and his mask of the forgotten. He was always seen as a "hidden gem" by his mentor, and he hoped this mask would represent that. A need to stay hidden, but at the same time, a need to stand out amongst all others.

During his travels, he enrolled in the order of night hunters, finding their means much more suited to his own skills. Sadly, some night hunter's showed a distaste for his race, creating some...complications of sorts.

Being unable to show his true colors so to speak, he adopted the mask bestowed upon him by his mentor and used it full time. While this concealed his face, it also left him able to reveal any face to any one person he desired, so long as he did not show another member of the night hunters. His illusions were also kept under wraps whenever he was forced to work with them, though this did result in some limitations. To compensate, he has adopted two separate cyborg eyes that each aid him both in combat and preparation, making his non shadetail arsenal far more deadly.

Some may ask why he even remained with them if they limited him so. The night hunter's wished to eliminate the shadetails...but for someone who did not know any of his own kind, what better place is there to be than the organisation that knows how to hunt them?

Now at the age of 25 he has nearly forgotten his search for home, but it is in no way lost from his mind. Still, his mind has turned to new desires...thoughts of vengeance, and preventing his own circumstance from ever ocurring again.

[attr="class","weapon"]

• ⚔ (Shirasaya)Mukō ryū - A supposedly cursed blade handed down to Karyu by his mentor. The blade is 1 foot 10 inches long, and held in a black wood sheath, with a golden strip dividing the blade from the handle. The blade is also black, leading to it's cursed legend. The weapon is typically concealed under his robes.
  
• ⚔ Iron chain - Simple as it seems. This 10 ft long chain is typically hidden with his blade, and used for subduing or grabbing his enemies from long range, with little truly offensive capabilities.
  
• ⚔ Weapon Name - Description/Ability

[attr="class","nonwea"]

• ★ Mask of the forgotten - Made of adam wood, this mask seems to never leave Karyu's person, even if he were to remove it he would make sure no one was around to see, forcing him to eat in private. The mask is also perfectly melded to his face, which sadly means it is useless as a helmet as energy passes directly through it to his face beneath.
  
• ★ Pocket watch - With an iron casing, dull yet well kept, this is usually kept in a pocket on the inside of his robe. The fact it is actually 1 hour wrong, and incapable of being fixed, hints at a second reason for him to keep it.
  
• ★ Item Name - Description

[attr="class","ability"]

• ▶ Trained since childhood - being practically raised to be a bounty hunter. As such his reflexes, agility, and mind are far beyond that of the typical human. Oddly enough his strength was never a key factor in his training, so he is extremely focused on moving quickly and attacking vital points.

[attr="class","racial"]

• ▷ Playback - Cybernetic right eye. This mechanical eye takes a secondary input that allows Karyu to record visual information, granting him a secondary "photographic memory" store. This can be accessed through simple voice commands while meditating. This is typically used in preparation for fighting an opponent by studying their moves, or to remember minute details. Sadly, this is entirely visual, and provides no audio.
  
• ▷ Hawk's eye - Cybernetic left eye. This eye is able to perceive current situations in extreme detail. Be this zooming in from afar or having a faster perception (recording more real life frames per second than a normal human eye). This can be used to examine from a far, or allow for more accurate reactions to an attack.
  
• ▷ Double vision - Using the illusion techniques of the shadetails, Karyu gives his opponent double vision of varying degrees. This can be as simple as giving the world a more hazy appearance, or actually creating 2 copies of himself. Unlike other shadetail illusions, these are not strong enough to trick the victim's mind into physically reacting to them in any way, but are real enough to fool anyone who isn't particularly perceptive into attacking a fake.
