Name: Tankun | Nickname: Sand Monk | Gender: Male | Age: 26 | Clan: None
Looks: Tankun is a slender man of moderate height. His hair is a sandy blonde with a good amount of length reaching his mid-back. His hair breaks off into spikes in a manner that aims to replicate the tail of the Ichibi. Blue tattoos line his face and body, particular around his black and yellow eyes. During his travels he wears an orange robe with black lining and a thick red sash. His legs are covered by black pants with tape wrapped around his shins. He wears a standard pair of sandals on his feet and often sports a rice hat with several decorative tags hanging from the brim. While in battle he wears a white and orange porcelain Tanuki mask which also acts as a ventilator for his smoke ninjutsu. On his back he carries a long staff with a metal ring head as well as an orange and black metallic shield.
Personality: Much like Tanuki who raised him, Tankun is not a serious man. He is often aloof, drinking sake, or tricking others for humor or to take something he wants. As he was raised outside of human civilization he is ignorant of many customs and morals which can get him into some trouble.

History: Tankun was not born to that name. He was born to a fairly average family in a small desert town on the outskirts of Sunagakure. Before his first memory the town was met with destruction. During a failed transfer of Shukaku to a new host the beast was set free and went on a rampage. His town was utterly destroyed in Shukaku's rage. Following the attack a group of Tanuki visited the site, as they often do after the appearance of their chosen deity. While searching the rubble they were unable to find a single survivor, aside from a small infant who had been untouched by the destruction. That boy was Tankun.
Will the town destroyed and his family dead, the Tanuki took the child with them. They saw his survival as a sign of holiness and believed that Tankun must have some connection to the tailed beast. They brought Tankun back to their home land, Hachi-takioashisu, the Eight Falls Oasis. It is here that Tankun was raised, as well as worshiped. Being raised in such a manner, in a place such as the Eight Falls, by beings such as the Tanuki, comes with its perks. It is a life of luxury, filled with pampering, sake and fun. It also brings with it the opportunity to travel the world. Each time their God appeared, the Tanuki would go on a pilgrimage to that location. This typically was to other areas of Suna, but every once in a while Shukaku would be released elsewhere.
It is on these journeys that Tankun was exposed to the world of Shinobi. Taking an interest in the ninja arts, he began befriending and training under a number of talented ninja. He quickly learned the arts and became a talented fighter in his own right. Along this path he also discovered a latent talent passed down from his parents, the ability to manipulate sand. This ability only furthered his divinity in the eyes of the Tanuki as it was the power of their God. As could be expected, these pilgrimages often led to Tankun crossing paths with Gaara, the current Jinchuuriki of the One Tailed Beast. As the vessel to their God, the Tanuki worship Gaara as though he were Shukaku himself. Gaara, however, rebuffs this worship as he had long viewed the beast as a curse. While he hides his feelings, Tankun has grown to resent Gaara for both eclipsing his status within the Tanuki, and rejecting that adoration. Thus Tankun has decided that he will one day take Shukaku from Gaara and become its rightful vessel.
It is this darkness which allowed Tankun to fall into the hands of Shimura Danzo. After the Chunin Exams when Gaara released Shukaku, Tankun and the Tanuki visited the leaf on one of their usual pilgrimages. It is here that Tankun was approached by the Konoha elder and promised the power to take what he desired. Tankun had grown bored of his life and saw an opportunity to expand his horizons. He spoke with his adoptive family and convinced them to let him stay for some time. Tankun continues to develop his power within the remnants of a now shattered Root. He has more freedom than most members and can be somewhat of a wildcard, acting of his own will from time to time rather than a strict adherence to Danzo's word. When the time comes he will take Shukaku for himself, but until that day he will do what he must.
Other
Elemental Specialty: Tankun's primary element is that of wind, granting him all the expected abilities that come with it. He is also a user of the Sand kekkei genkai, which he has become quite the capable master of.
Smoke Ninjutsu: Concealed on the underside of both forearms are single-barreled smoke launchers which Tankun uses for his smoke ninjutsu. He picked up the art from a wandering ninja during one of his trips and took a liking to the skill. Today he is quite proficient with the art. He neglects to wear his mask during his daily life, but during battle he wears a Tanuki-style mask similar in appearance to the ones worn by ANBU members. This mask asks as a ventilator allowing him to freely move within his smoke.
Weapons: Aside from his smoke launchers, Tankun carries the traditional assortment of ninja tools within pouches sewn into his robe. This allows him quick access to items such as kunai, shuriken, paper tags, smoke bombs, etc. On his back he carries both a long staff, which he is proficient in battle with, and a metallic shield that was given to him during his travels.
The Will of Darkness: While not a traditional adherence to this Will, Tankun has fallen under the wing of its creator Danzo Shimura. He has taken the aggressive approach to village defense, but views it from a practicality point of view rather then a strong belief. He tends to not harbor ill-will towards his targets, instead viewing his missions as game-like in nature.
