Basic Information
Name: Yahiko 'Valentine' Myōjin 明神 弥彦
Nickname: Catcher of a thousand bladesGender: Male
Age: 93
Clan: Valentine
Looks
Yahiko's appearance is that of a young man in his mid-twenties despite his actual age, boasting of the defiant demeanour within with his rebellious "cat-like" eyes and shock of spiky unkempt black hair. He usually wears a green haori patterned along the collar with several sets of short, twin parallel lines and a white undershirt, as well as a dark, or sometimes white, hakama and standard white tabi and zori. Yahiko also wears his sword tied across his back for easy access. He also wears dark blue wristbands. On the back of his haori's collar he has the kanji character aku (悪), which means "evil" in English. While this is an unorthodox look for a Shinobi, Yahiko prefers this attire as he can conceal his ninja tools inside his haori.
He is 170cm tall and has black, neck length, spiky hair. Yahiko also has dark coloured eye that vary between hazel and dark brown. Yahiko is also a very lean person, although his muscles are well toned.
Even when he was the tender age of ten, Yahiko was a short-tempered, violent, bad-mannered and foul-mouthed young man. But, above all else, he is proud - proud of his Valentine lineage. Taught cynicism and rebelliousness by the mean streets of Amegakure and schooled in thievery by the crime syndicates after his parents' deaths, Yahiko is nonetheless driven by his pride and to avoid taking actions that would bring shame to his family name and reviles his days as a lowly pickpocket.
Angrily rejecting the pity and charity of others, Yahiko strives to fix his problems with his own hands and suffers greatly when it appears that his strength is not great enough to protect his ideals. As such, he quickly becomes infatuated with ninjutsu and kenjutsu, training diligently to become strong enough that he needn't rely on anyone else's power. As he grows stronger and stronger under the guidance of his Nindo, to discover his true inner-power, Yahiko becomes driven to take arms for the protection of the precious people around him. He frequently puts his own life in jeopardy to protect others and prove to himself that he is becoming stronger. When his friends have been wronged, he rushes headlong into the fray to enact revenge and see justice done.
Despite his rude countenance and admitted limited intelligence, Yahiko is also quite astute, being able to see inconsistencies and incongruities in the words and actions of other people and point them out bluntly. As time passed Yahiko managed to grow into a level-headed, contemplative, and caring young man, although his rude tendencies tend to emerge now and then. Despite all this, a tendency for laziness emerged some-time during his twenties, neglecting important duties until the very last moment. Throughout his long life though, Yahiko had come to master this hidden Sloth nature of his via means of his Clan's teachings and long life managing to incorporates this rather negative trait into something to work for him.

History:
Valentine Yahiko, as he was first called, was born in Amegakure many years ago, in the early days of village system where he was initially separated from his Clan and Village, during one of the many bloody battles to take part within the Land of Rain, being taken in as an orphan by a Konoha Shinobi. Right from an early age, Yahiko proved to be a difficult child to control and showed great strength due to the innate abilities of his clan, allowing him to quickly rise through the ranks of the Konoha Shinobi, after being set on the right path during a pick-pocket incident gone horribly wrong. However, before he was even fifteen years old, he had defected from Konoha, seeking new something else out of this world, seeking his heritage. Since Yahiko was never told where he was found and his adoptive family had perished by before he was ten years old, Yahiko took it upon himself to explore the vast world, seeking others with similar abilities to himself in an attempt to find his original home. Eventually, Yahiko found himself living in Kumogakure, learning lightning from those most know for using it to a high calibre.
After leaving Kumogakure, Yahiko wondered the world for many years, reaching the age of thirty before coming across Amegakure no Sato, where he soon made his home and sought to perfect his ninjutsu. During one of his explorations through the sub-levels of Amegakure, Yahiko stumbled onto a substantially older sector of the city, long since forgotten by the rest of the city. There he discovered his true origins, that he was part of the Valentine Clan, a Clan with a strong tie to the history and happenings of Amegakure. There he met the Clan head and Founder, Vincent Valentine, who taught him all he could learn about the Village of Amegakure and most importantly; about his clan.
Many years had passed since Yahiko discovered his true identity, yet somehow he still looked as if he where but a young-man; an attribute granted to him by the innate abilities of the clan, vastly extending his life expectancy to the point where, despite being Seventy years old, he appeared to be in his early twenties. Finally emerging from the sub levels of Amegakure, after many years of training granting him the the title of Dark Crusader among his clan, Yahiko ventured out into Amegakure to re-integrate into society and attempt reconnect the Valentine's with Amegakure once more.
Over the next several years, Yahiko would come to master many ninjutsu, including specialised fields such as Fuuinjutsu and Snake summons. All the while making a place for himself in the hierarchy of Amegakure no Sato, such to the point where he was eventually appointed the title of Sandaime Amegakure. This was a significant moment in Amegakure's history, signifying a point where it was in direct control of the Valentine clan, instead of the Clan having to work in the shadows as it had done for so many years prior.
In his few short years being the Sandaime Amekage, Yahiko has the pleasure of meeting new members of his clan and welcoming others like himself, once lost with no knowledge of their clan, back into the ranks of the Valentine's. Yahiko has also worked hard and saw the fruits of such work, seeing Amegakure grow to the point where it could stand it's own against the villages whom once used the Rain Country, as a mere stage for their petty wars to be staged. As he tenure as Kage wore on, Yahiko found himself studying the Medical Arts, finnaly reaching a stage of completion after a long tenure in the Medical Archives of Amegakure. With this new knowledge and skill set, Yahiko would be better able to help his village in a time of need and anyone else who may need it.

Valentine’s Cursed Seal (Tanabata Juinjutsu)
Type: Supplementary
Rank: S
Range: Short-Long (can only be applied at close range)
Chakra: 40
Damage: 80
Description: A technique that brings a member of the Valentines under the control of the user. The techniques works similarly to Hyuuga’s Juinjutsu, and is only taught to the high ranking members of the clan and select officials of the Rain village/Akatsuki as a countermeasure against betrayals. The seal is placed on all members of the Clan upon joining and is automatically activated upon death. The seal has numerous functions, primarily causing an extreme paralysis with a single Seal of Confrontation, the same way Danzo’s Juinjutsu works. The curse seal has the appearance of a Black Heart placed on the right side of the members chest. When activated sealing scripts pour out of the heart and bind the body.
The secondary function of the seal is to completely this destroy the victim’s body. The function activates automatically upon Death but can also be forcefully triggered by a user of this technique. When activated, the Black heart on the chest breaks apart and splits into two. This makes the seal unstable and the effects extends to the victims body, the seal absorbs natural energy at an extreme rate quickly petrifying the victim into a statue form. This both kills the victim (If he’s alive) and completely destroys the D.N.A rendering the body unusable.
Alternatively, the technique could also be applied on opponents in the middle of battle by striking the chest. The seal has the same effects of paralysis and petrification even on Non-Valentines. Also, activating the seal against an opponent counts as one of the user's 3 jutsu per turn.
Note: Can only be 3 times per conflict.
