Appearance

Nai is a boy of relatively lithe build, with a general gaunt look about him. His eyes flutter about, hawk-like in nature at a solid dark, nearing the void-like black of his pupils. They often have a tired, sleepless look about them.

A mostly messy mop of poorly bleached white hair, naturally light-brown, sits upon his tall head, having found dyes and such after venturing above ground, parting mostly off to the left side, occasionally obscuring an eye when not brushed out of the way.

However, the most glaring feature of the boy would easily be the odd deformity of his mouth. As if his jaw were locked in place most of his life, this is confirmed by the fact that his mouth is sown-shut with thick, white stands of what could hardly be called thread, that enter just above and below the lips.

Most often, Nai is seen sporting a single piece robe-like cloth of dark colours tending to be flamboyantly flared outward, as well as frayed about the shoulders and hems. It fits rather loosely and is cut-out on other side, exposing much of his ribs, all the way down to the beginning of his hips. A constant about his attire is a buckle strapped tightly about his neck further restricting speech.

Personality

Like many of the secretive and sequestered cult that Nai was born into, he has a very warped perspective of the world around him, truly believing that all is for his family, his brethren. Adhering to the strange rules and ideals of such an archaic group.

However, below the deeply indoctrinated vile surface of the boy, lies a genuine heart that still lives, breathes, contains feelings untainted. Such as his unyielding curiosity and naivety about a world in which he had never been a part of, this often intersects, overcoming his cultish ways. And yet, Nai never once strays from the long and tedious rituals that he must perform every day, less out of necessity and more of a ceremonial nature.

The cultist is enthusiastic about nearly everything, and perhaps he must be in order to communicate more effectively through his gestures, for he cannot speak. Or perhaps he chooses not to, or has possibly forgotten the ability after going through the detestable conditioning of his youth. Even over all of that, Nai remains exceedingly cheerful, rare it is to seem him without a smile upon his face, threads tugging at his flesh all the while.

Nai has also been shown to been consumed by an overwhelming sadistic presence after being exposed to a fair sum of pain. This is compounded by an incredible amount of masochism, in which the boy derives intense pleasure, perhaps even arousal when experiencing such pain. During these occurrences, Nai's normal, cheery demeanor appears pushed away.

History

[I'll get to it one of these days.]

Powers and Abilities

Strengths: Nai excels at medium to long range combat. Mostly using his kagune to do battle as it extends and contracts, more often than not out-ranging most other combatants that do not make use of projectiles. His regenerative strength is notable as a fair bit above the average ghoul his rank.

Weaknesses: Finding himself in close quarters makes battle far more difficult for the boy, as his style involves consistent back-peddling, keeping a mid-distance to his foe. Nai's physical abilities are of little note, not easily surpassing many ghouls of average build.

Kagune

Type: Bikaku

Appearance: A segmented tail, pulsating a dull mix of purple and crimson. It can extend to decent length, flaring outward and caping off as a black maw. Pronged with four gnashing mandibles that can draw flesh into its mouth-like structure while tearing it apart.

Mechanics: Nai's kagune can extend as if a telescopic limb, as well as swiveling at any point of its segments thus able to snake about more easily in unnatural, angular motions. It may also act as a separate mouth, consuming and tearing flesh apart, milking its nutrients rather effectively.

Relationships

Name	Details
Takashi Ikusaki	Takashi had been the very first ghoul hailing from the Shuukaku caverns that Nai came in contact with on the surface world. They did not know each other for very long, however in their short relationship, Nai looked on to Takashi as a guide for Shuukaku, giving them purpose.
Haruna Suzuki	The sister of lore to the Shuukaku cult, Nai values her cheeriness as well as her intelligence, even if she cannot often understand his communication. Nai tends to go to her in order for something to be explained that he does not quite get, as are many of the differences from the caverns and the surface.
Tojo	Tojo had been Nai's first encounter with a member of Aogiri Tree one that immediately understood his manner of communication. This, coupled with the fact that he reminded the boy of his mentor in Shuukaku caused him to be placed quite highly in the mind. Tojo and Nai, along with Kota Okada worked to first welcome the splinter cult into Aogiri.

Threads

Thread Link	Thread Type	Thread Description
A Mute Point	One-Shot	A young Nai, then referred to as 'Two' had been shackled and blindfolded deep within the caves that hosted Shuukaku, along with another boy of similar description. There they endured numerous tortures in their 'mentor's' hopes of silencing them from pain.
Shuukaku	Interaction	The first meeting between Nai, Takashi Ikusaki, and Haruna Suzuki is detailed. After the other beserker's grand entrance two the 11th Ward Aogiri base Nai snuck in shortly behind, from which he first met Tojo whom he admired for being able to decipher his 'speech', together they worked to integrate Shuukaku into Aogiri Tree.
Eye for an Eye - 11th Ward Aogiri Raid	Arc	The CCG arrive at the abandoned mall, from there Nai breaks off of the rest of Shuukaku and enters combat with Shinagati Renati an initiate. After the later is devoured entirely by the ghoul Junko Kobayashi happens upon him and is forced to retreat after a skirmish. Afterwards, he aids Takashi Ikusaki and Haruna Suzuki in a poor attempt at battling the One-Eyed Cat.
In Squalid Halls	Interaction	Just moments after Shuukaku's defeat against the kakuja, as well as the death of Takashi Ikusaki, they gather in the filth-ridden sewer tunnels beneath the collapsing mall and mourn their lost brother. There they also encounter a mysterious beserker by the name of 'Kabuto'.	[1]	Interaction	Shortly after escaping the ire of the One-Eyed Cat and exiting the sewer tunnels, the cultist make their way to Haruna Suzuki's 11th ward archive, in which the members began to settle for at least temporary lodging in the wake of the schism of Aogiri Tree. From there, Haruna took Nai to a bathhouse sometime after, sharing each other's pasts.
