Looks
Tasuke is a tall, lean-built but slender young man. He has short, messy brown hair, which reaches just over his shoulders, and red eyes. His attire varies on what he feels like wearing, but he usually wears a black hoody over a red, V-neck shirt which is is torn at the ends overlapping his black pants. Under sleeves he wears bandages around his forearms which aren't usually seen and are for his own use. Tasuke sometimes wears red gloves on his hands to cover up the Dark Release marks on them, he doesn't like showing them off so much.
Though sometimes he wears a Uniform type Attire, a white shirt under a black blazer with some details on it and some plain black paints. He has also been seen wearing the white shirt under a long coat with a red scarf wrapped around his neck. As said he wears whatever he wants and because he lives in Sunagakure, he sticks to wearing a short sleeve white shirt with some buttons opened and black pants. His bandages are always around his forearms.
Personality
Tasuke is a Free Spirit at heart and tries as hard he can to push the boundaries surrounding him, he knows how to have fun, but he also knows when to be serious and mature. Tasuke is a caring individual and loves his friends and family to a point he will die for them. He can be quite mischievous especially when it comes to playing games, his favourite types of games are card games and his favourite card game is Crib/Poker; he has even known to offer his enemies to play Cards instead of fighting, saying he'd forfeit if he Lost. Tasuke is also a big flirt when it comes to girls, he will always try to make a move on them even if he's fighting one - most of the time he does it for fun and sometimes it pays off.
If he is pushed, Tasuke's temper can be horrific and has been known to become 'psychotic', even after defeating an opponent with this temper he has crippled them and put them through torturous pain after defeat - he once did it to his own fellow squad member. Once he has been pushed to this temper, it's hard to get him back out of it.

Background Information
TasukeTasuke was born in Kirigakure and was named by his Father, a great shinobi with great talent and access to the Elemental Kekkei Genkei Dark Release. Tasuke's mother was a Yuki, but never practised her Ice Release capabilities being a peaceful woman. Ge was the only child until he was two years old they gave birth to his younger sister and named her Clary. The four of them lived together peacefully, there was no feud between them an Tasuke loved his little sister, he tried to teach her everything so that she would excel as a Shinobi and as a person. His Sister became very close with her father she seemed proud to have such a skilled and kind shinobi as that figure in her life, but did this change somewhere? Tasuke would ask himself this question later in the story.
Tasuke in his spare time didn't study too much, he was more practical and got his Father to teach him Archery a field he had been interested in ever since he was little - he spent a lot of time doing Archery instead of studying which his mother scolded him for, but he never forgot to teach Clary more and more. She had learned so much, in school she was ahead of everyone and in the same class as himself, it made him proud. But pride is a sin.
It was here where Tasuke would question himself, it was here where his prideful self would be shattered. "The House is on fire", that was all he could think in his head as he saw it coming back from hunting. Tasuke ran towards it, it was typical of him to trip halfway because of his panicking, he reached the door which he barged through and there he saw it. His father was on his knees and a hooded figure stood before him with a blade to his neck, "No!" words did not stop the blade as it cut him down and the walls were painted red. The hooded figure looked towards him, and he will never forget this moment, the moment he saw her looking back at him, the moment his own sister had betrayed them. He was knocked out cold from a part of the roof collapsing near him, a wooden beam lowering enough to hit him on the head.
He was saved from the carnage and dragged to a small village, where his mother was, also safe. He never did tell her what her saw; even though he wanted to, wanted his mother to hate her like he did at this moment and time. He didn't. He knew it would break her more than it had done. They decided to leave Kirigakure behind them and went to Kumogakure.
Darkness in our Hearts
Tasuke and his Mother docked at the Land of Lightning, there Tasuke met a Shinobi named Gin Ichimaru (Better), and this meeting led to Gin teaching Tasuke more advanced Ninjutsu - including Wind, Fire, Lightning and Water and more advanced Taijutsu. Whilst learning under Gin, Tasuke had discovered that he could use the Element Dark, inherited by his father and there and then he decided he would use this to avenge him - after he finds Clary. Gin hadn't the knowledge to teach this special Kekkei Genkei as he didn't possess it.
Tasuke left for Konohagakure, his mother stayed in the Land of Lightning under Gin's protection. The Journey to Konohagakure was a long journey, but he had his old Bow keep him company the way there. He would hunt Deer, Boar, Bird - all sorts for a meal to keep him going until he reached Konoha. But first he made a stop off at Amegakure and met a Shinobi named Ushiro who taught him more techniques to add to his knowledge, whilst he was there he also learned how to perform Rain Ninjutsu. He set off for Konoha once more and to his displeasure ran into the ANBU of Konohagakure whom overpowered Tasuke and took him to the Hokage. Tasuke told him of his business, though Leaf Shinobi claimed he be a spy for another village, despite these accusations the Hokage let him be taught under Castiel (Nathan). It took Tasuke a while to completely master Dark, but he did and had earned Dark Tattoos on both his hands at the age of 18. And that's also when he met a girl that would clear his mind of the hate.
Till Death do us Part
A Beautiful Shinobi of the Leaf Village with the greenest eyes, a name Tasuke never tries to think of in his present state. The two had ran into each other a couple of times when he was around the village with Castiel and had talked, it was clear the two liked each other and became friends very quickly, after Tasuke had mastered Dark Release and was trusted to be in Konoha alone without Castiel the two become more than friends. Love. At the age of 20 they were married and living in a cottage outside of Konohagakure, surrounded by fields. His Wife had left him a note in the Cottage telling him where she was, she was in the fields that surrounded him, the specific location was labelled as "their first kiss" and of course he remembered. He took with him some flowers, he thought it would be a romantic touch, he walked out to the field, getting closer to the location, the long grass was flat over there, she must've been lying down her thought. Thought. His heart hit the floor in sync with the flowers he was holding, she was cold, so cold. He felt gagged, he tried to scream but nothing came out, his eyes didn't blink, he was frozen, like her, but not like her. He fell to his knees, the shock shattered away an the realization flooded through him, overflowing through his eyes. Tasuke held his wife in his arms and set there for what felt like hours, crying, despairing and hoping.Darkness overtook him, he murdered, slaughtered - became infamous. He knew exactly who had killed his wife, the Ice Rose was unmistakable, his mother had created them for him and his... Sister, it was undoubtedly Clary. He searched and searched and killed and kill. nicknamed Lord Vile and he rampaged for weeks, months. Vile was eventually tamed by a man named Malevolent, became his mad dog, they crippled villages and tore apart lives. Lord Vile was killed and Tasuke along with him, before being abandoned in a ditch he had been bitten and upon his neck the Curse Mark was given to him.
He felt dead, but wasn't actually. His life dragged on. A Ruin. He decided to conceal himself and start over. He constructed a Mask that would look like his face was a Real Skull, he wore gloves, a hat and sometimes a scarf and of course he wore a variety of different Suits which were majestic. He took on an almost false Persona though he did have aspects of his own in there and took the name Skulduggery Pleasant. Tasuke had learned to be more Calm after his incident as Vile, he became a very convincing Skeleton looking man and people didn't recognise him as who he once was.
Sunagakure's Skeleton Shinobi
Skulduggery became a Shinobi of The Village Hidden in the Sand, proving his good intentions to the Kazekage Mockingbird. In this village he met a lot of Shinobi; Urahara Kisuke(Tsuki), Dexter Vex, Yoruichi, Mayuri (Alpha), Kuroh, Ulquiorra (Mudo), Kirikoe, Gaara, Makarov (Jokey), Guren (Rojuro), Jio (Shady), Rex (demon fang), Hao (Reaper), Rogue (Wind), Asch (Teno), Black Star (Cursed Prince) and his good friend Albel.
Skulduggery became a Teacher under Daenary's (Coyote) watch when she became the new Kazekage, he taught many shinobi that came in from all different villages. He taught shinobi's named Deviation, Alucard (Skorm), Toshiro (Edward) and Ashitaka (Penguin) - there were many more students, but these were the ones that stood out to him.
He also travelled to teach, but also to just visit villages. He visited Kumogakure to see his mother, but he did not speak to her, he kept his distance and just made sure she was doing Okay. He met with the current Raikage at the Time, who was Gin, he did tell him who he was and it was a reunion long coming. Whilst in Kumogakure, Skulduggery met Ichigo (Ciberr) and befriended him when he spent his time there. There was also a Shinobi that Skulduggery nicknamed Franky (Loki), these two became very good friends, sharing similar experiences in their past. They didn't let the fact that they were from two different villages harm their friendship - Franky in the future even spent time in Sunagakure.
Through Yoruichi, Skulduggery Met Akasha, Dean (Detective L), Hazama (Kerrah!), Roy (Erzo). Though he had found an interest in the mysterious Akasha - whom had a dark past, much like his own. Skulduggery had been pulled onto a few of her little schemes and adventures, they never went well and always ended up with people getting hurt. But he couldn't help it. Skulduggery went on many adventures with Akasha or with others, he became known as the "Skeleton Detective" as he had solved mysterious and stopped schemes that could have caused mass chaos. Though even as Skulduggery, the past did not cease to haunt him.

Skulduggery heard word, and this message changed him, revived Tasuke. It was word of his sister becoming Mizukage, it angered him, if they had heard of what she had done would they have elected her then? At first he plotted to assassinate her, but no, that would've been too quick and they need to learn her true colours. She needed to suffer. Tasuke dressed as this Skeleton travelled to The Land of Water in secrecy, hooded himself, and picked his target - one of the well populated outskirts villages. It was close to the water, wasn't hard to use Ninjutsu to flood the place, and it's exactly what he did, if you had asked him what a life was then he would have answered with nothing. He had no remorse, he even walked through the puddled village to find the suitable spot. There was a man, could've been a husband and father, he didn't care, but he used this man to forward his message. Tasuke had kept this ever since then, the Ice Flower, he placed it on the floating man's chest and crossed his arms over - it was then that he could feel his tears begin to arise, but not because of what he had done, because his whole history flooded into his mind, his family life had been perfect. And now a ruin. Why did this have to happen? This Flower, the last of his hope went into it, he had dried himself of it, and abandoned it. When he eventually returned to Sunagakure, He became Skulduggery again, whom remembered none of this and his adventures continued for a while longer.
A Cursed Revelation
The Skulduggery Pleasant Façade lasted for 6 years. But it was fading, Tasuke was healing and coming back to life, but also the power of that Cursed Seal was growing, every time he used it, the Seal damaged his Façade as the darkness of his passed flooded through him. Though he was learning to control the feelings, the hurt, it didn't affect him as much as before. But he still hated her. He could never forgive her.
Skulduggery went out to meet a Konohagakure shinobi, they had visited earlier on good intentions, we offered our hospitality and it was well received. But this time was different. Skulduggery talked with a Shinobi named Edward Elric who eventually attacked him, but this kid would learn that no good comes out of betrayal - he was skewered by a Kunai right in the lung, going through some pain before being burned to a crisp. There were more Konohagakure shinobi, but had been intercepted, instead Skulduggery's attention was focused on this hooded figure. The figure claimed to not be with Konohagakure and they had both talked for a bit until Toki arrived, a fellow Sand Shinobi. Skulduggery told him to go an brief the Kazekage on what was happening, giving the metal arm of Edward Elric to him as like a trophy. But Toki didn't, thinking he'd catch him off guard the Skeleton countered quickly and killed him in an instant before he could even regret his actions. Skulduggery turned back to the now revealed woman and apologized for what she had to witness and talked about how he could have been spared, coming to an agreement of sorts. She introduced herself as Lucia Valkova and asked for Skulduggery to accompany her and amazingly he agreed, he had never done anything like this in a long long time.

He left a note on Toki's body and left with her to the Land of the Moon.They talked a lot, about Skulduggery and some about herself. On his way there he found out that her actual name was Lexi Blades, and she had found out his real name as well. They talked about his mask, she made him think a lot, and his old self was healing, the Façade was breaking. The Mask represented that, and the crack that accompanied it. They rested over night at Lexi's little base - in the morning he met her new appearance, it was very red and she let him choose the destination this time. After all that had happened yesterday, he though it was only right to return to The Land of Water. Where it all began...
Deep Red, Eternal Blue
The two arrived in The Land of Water, one of the outskirts villages surrounded by forest. In the forest there was a clearing with a building, can't really call it a building any more as it was half burned to the ground. Skulduggery walks up to the entrance, Lexi did too, but she allowed him some time to himself and took a nap on a fallen tree. Skulduggery enters the building, ducking under a wooden beam and stands in the middle of the ruin, the light shining through the building onto him - he stood there in though for a little while, thoughts swirling through his head - he was going through change. When he finally came to, he wandered the house, going into a new room where he spotted a burned up piece of paper with a drawing on it; he recognised the drawing immediately. That was the final push, he pushed his hand onto his mask and forcefully cracked it do it fell from his face, revealing his crying eyes.
Tasuke. Crouched above Lexi's head, looking down from above woke her up with the sound of his voice; of course she reacted by waking quickly, holding her Sai to his neck. They both stared into each others' eyes, Red and Blue, Deep and Eternal...

Wind and Fire Speciality
Tasuke was taught by Gin Ichimaru (Better) of Kumogakure who later became Raikage. They were good friends even though they were from two different villages and Gin trained Tasuke in most of the skills he knows to date, almost being like a personal student. Tasuke can perform Wind with only one hand seal needed and can perform Fire hand seals much quicker than the average Shinobi.
Taijutsu and Kenjutsu
Tasuke has a great proficiency in Taijutsu and has always liked Close Combat, being a Master in it he gains some additional strength and speed than the average shinobi. Tasuke also enjoys using his sword in battle and so of course carries one around at his hip, usually on his left side so he can draw it with his right. The Sword is a Katana with a Green hilt and a Pitch Black Blade, named Yūrei 幽霊.

Archery
Tasuke after teaching himself when trying to survive alone without tools and only some Ninjutsu when he was little, became a proficient Archer and had Crafted his own Bow and arrows. He later was gifted one by his Grandpa a former Shinobi who used Archery as well, The Bow was made of white wood and the arrows matched, with a fletching of cyan and a sharp silver tip.
Barnacle Tattoo
Tasuke has the Tattoo of the contract he signed with Barnacles, it is found on the left side of his chest and reaches just up to his shoulder. The tattoo is used instead of the summoning jutsu as an easier and faster way of summoning his little helpers. The tattoo looks like this :

Cursed MarkTasuke gained his Cursed Mark of Earth whilst in his Phase as Skulduggery Pleasant, the actual mark is between his neck and shoulder (like Sasuke's) but on the right side and is in the shape of a skull missing the lower Jaw. When the Cursed Mark spreads it is black and seems as though his face is shattering like glass. In this state Tasuke is usually pretty psychotic because of his horrific temper - though he has been known to use it as an aid in battle, the Cursed Mark itself still adds anger to his fighting Form.
His Cursed Mark Later upgraded to that of Level 2 after his Phase as Skulduggery Pleasant. When in this form he is at his most angered, though he doesn't show it as his expression is calm or he has a psychotic smile on his face. His skin becomes a much darker colour and his red eyes don't change, his hair becomes a much, much longer and darker brown with hint of red almost like a maroon colour. Tasuke grows pair of demon like wings which allow him to fly and also his Tattoos from his Dark release heritage leak a small Dark chakra which surround his arms up to the elbow, strengthening Tasuke's punches by being able to cause small amounts internal damage when landing a hit (still can be countered with freeform).

Reaper of the Cards
A Fighting Style he learned under Black Star, a fellow member in Sunagakure and a good friend, despite their differences. Black Star put the progression of this fighting style under Tasuke's care as he left Sungakure and his life as a shinobi to live a peaceful life elsewhere. Tasuke is known for using this fighting style and because he is a specialist in it he can use it's full potential, the style allowing him to passively control the Cards of the Joker as long as they are within Mid-Range.
