Nai is a young boy, born and raised into a secluded cult of ghouls deep underground who has only recently begun his 'trail of feats' upon the surface world.
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 brown, 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 long robe-like clothing of dark colours tending to be flamboyantly flared outward, as well as frayed about the shoulders and hems. 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.
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 not particularly special, though above the average ghoul's.
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. It may also act as a separate mouth, consuming and tearing flesh apart, milking its nutrients rather effectively.
