His body is sinewy and tough, a product of long, hard days of physical training since practically the day he could walk. His light silver hair is neatly brushed out of his face and cut to a degree that it wouldn't interfere with his vision when moving at high speeds. His eyes are deep sapphire blue, and always seem to be sharp and alert to his surroundings.

As for his standard attire, Torak often prefers function over fashion, and wears tight-fitting utilitarian clothing to maximize his range of movement and prevent them from being caught on anything during an infiltration. His boots are normally caked in snow and mud, while his gloves are worn and well-used due to extensive combat.

Brief History:
To understand Kaguya Torak, one first must understand a little of his history. Torak was born to Aldur Kaguya and Misa Karasu. His parents were both highly reputable Jounin, masters of their craft and legendary in their power and efficiency. The pair had worked together for many years on many battlefields and had slowly fallen in love. The elders of both clans saw immense potential in the culmination of both the Kaguya and Karasu bloodlines, and eagerly endorsed the marriage. The Kaguya and Karasu plotted behind the scenes, dreaming of the child that would result. After all, a child that inherited the Visual Prowess of the Karasu, combined with the incomparable close-range power of the Kaguya would be well-nigh unbeatable!

The problems began almost as soon as Torak was born, not even letting out a hoarse cry, but instead lying silently as if dead. It was eventually determined that instead of inheriting the power of both bloodlines, Torak had instead acquired only Shikotsumyaku. However, on top of this failure, the residual Karasu DNA within him had altered him, preventing his body from processing the extra calcium resulting from his bloodlimit like it was supposed to. In short, the experiment was a failure, and while his parents both tried to hide their disappointment and loved him all the same, the young Kaguya could still feel their shame.

Personality:
If one were to describe Kaguya Torak in a phrase, it would be “closed off”. As a result of the circumstances of his birth, the expectations for the Kaguya were impossibly high from the very start, resulting in condemnation from both his peers and his elders. There was always a sense of “you should have been superior” hanging over the boy’s head as he grew up, and the only way the young Kaguya could deal with such a thing was to withdraw into himself to escape the harsh looks and disappointment.

This has led to Torak becoming extremely withdrawn, not speaking more than a few sentences at a time, and certainly not more then was necessary. The Kaguya never puts himself forward, always mutely accepting any punishments that come his way without so much as a word of objection and refusing any rewards with a simple shake of his head. It is as if he truly feels that he does not deserve any happiness that comes his way, even though the source of his shame was something far beyond his control.

There are a few areas, however, where Torak stands out. The Kaguya is extremely intelligent and was always near the top of his classes without any seeming effort. He probably could have been the top student of his year at the Academy but did not like the spotlight. The Kaguya applies this intelligence both on and off the battlefield, inventing innovative, brilliant strategies on the spot in one moment and reading a dense philosophical treatise in the other. This has led to him diverging from the standard archetype of the Kaguya berserker in combat, as he much prefers to slowly pick away at his opponents before moving in close range for the kill.

Torak does, however, have major flaws. His entirely selfless goals often lead to him single-mindedly pursuing a goal until the very end, refusing to be turned away from it or discouraged from it if he thinks it worthwhile. He will even severely compromise his own safety if he thinks it will assist the Kaguya in some way, often displaying suicidal dedication to a cause. In addition, his closed-off nature makes it somewhat difficult for him to navigate complex social situations, and he will often struggle in such situations.

Torak’s goals are relatively simple, especially considering the lofty goals some other Ninja set for themselves. The first thing he desires is to advance the interests of his clan in whatever way he can, no matter the personal consequences. This desire is primarily born out of his desire to “repay” his clan for his “failure” and is something that is nearly all-consuming. The second is to excel in his role as a ninja of the Hidden Mist to prove that he can prove an asset to the Kaguya, even without the eyes of the Karasu.
