The Shinobi
Physical Description:
Umbra is an average looking individual with tan Caucasian skin and thin, almond shaped eyes of an electric blue with an angular yet oval shaped face.
His wild, windswept hair is dark royal blue in colour, and like all good protagonists, cannot be tamed in any way shape or form and has not changed since the day he was born.
If you managed to get him stripped down to nudity, one would find a lithe, athletic figure with defined muscles and the same tan Caucasian skin.
Tattooed upon his left arm is a black lightning tattoo hat flows from his shoulder to his elbow.
Clothing/Gear:
Umbra dislikes wearing the official Kage cloak and hat and will only do so at state meetings or events of heavy importance.
Instead, he tends to wear his trademark brown travelling cloak at all times, even in office as he claims that the material is the softest and most cosy he has ever felt.
Underneath this, he always wears a tightly wrapped purple scarf, a light blue t- shirt, a pair of dark grey combat trousers and a pair of brown, shin high walking boots.
This is always the same and one Shinobi found his wardrobe to be full of the same suit simply repeated over and over.
When he isn’t behind the desk, he always has his scythe, the Soul Reaping Blade; Solace behind him and even if he is at the desk, the scythe can often be seen beside him.

Personality:
Umbra is a stoic and calm individual whom has a policy of being firm but fair with his subjects and refuses to jump to conclusions.
He is partial to black or dry humour and is a hard person to make laugh on all accounts unless a joke is made with either.
When in public, he endeavours to show as little emotion as possible unless he is making a speech where he pours his heart and soul into every word.
Despite his role as a leader of assassins, Umbra is an honest man whom always keeps his word.
On a personal basis, when his actions can’t reflect the reputation of the village, Umbra is a kind and outreaching person with an open mind and a gentle heart.
When angered however, he becomes merciless and has a violent streak a mile long and refuses to leave those whom threaten his close ones and his village alive.
Likes:
- The general citizens of Kumogakure (Officially)
- The shade

- Earl Grey Tea
Dislikes:
- People whom suck up too much
- Bright lights
- Mushrooms
Background:
- Spoiler:
Umbra Arion Gami was born to Rao Tatami and Sadé Gami on Sunday the 5th of September 23 years ago.
He had a relatively quiet few first years of life until his parents died in action, three weeks after his second birthday and he was left an orphan.
Being Clanless, he was sent to the orphanage where he was raised for his entire childhood.
He gained interest in the Shinobi arts from an exceedingly young age and began studying the arts and history before he even joined Kumo’s ninja academy.
This meant that he started the academy with a lot more knowledge than the other students and was allowed to skip lessons in preference to building up his physical skill.
Because of his hard work and determination and having little else to do in the evening but train or study, Umbra graduated from the academy a year earlier than is usual.
It was during his stint as an academy student that his natural affinity with the Kuroton came to light however he developed it little as he had no idea what it was.
As a Genin, Umbra trained thrice as hard, pushing both himself and his Genin team to great heights during their time together. If his two teammates had any illusions about his age weighing them down when he joined the team, they were soon proved very wrong.
Because of his constant hard training and hard work, he and his team managed to complete a B rank mission and he himself learned some low level elemental Jutsu.
Because of this, the team lasted but three months before the next Chunin exams came around and Umbra’s analytical and general prowess pulled them through to the final round where both he and the Kunoichi of his team were promoted up to Chunin.
As a Chunin, Umbra took to a leadership role like duck to water and was soon conducting high class missions with a Chunin team.
It was on one such mission he met the dark hermit; Tenebrous Arame.
The hermit was dying and upon learning that Umbra had the Kuroton, handed him a scroll and the Soul Rending Scythe with instructions to master the shadow release before passing on, his life’s mission complete.
It became a sore spot for Umbra that he never truly earned either in the traditional .
He threw himself into learning everything the Kuroton had to offer as well as Bukijutsu with the Soul Rending Blade.
Since he now had a second elemental release he was allowed to apply for the Jounin exams and did so promptly.
Despite being the youngest Ninja there by a decade, Umbra stood arm to arm with them in terms of skill and passed the exams with flying colours.
As a Jounin, Umbra gained recognition over the entire elemental nations due to his ability to create black lightning that literally paralysed those unlucky enough to allow him enough time to form the chakra for the technique.
This as well as his skill in assassination earned him the moniker of ‘The Lightning Ghost of Kumo’ during his long stint as both a Jounin and ANBU of Kumogakure.
It was on his 18th birthday, after almost a decade of completing high level missions, even several SS level missions, for the village that the Raikage decided to retire and Umbra was put on the line-up for the next Kage and made it up to the last two before something happened out on a mission.
His main rival for the position didn’t like the look of the odds so decided to get rid of the competition.
The fight was massive, legendary even and lasted twenty seven hours, without a single second for breaks finally, ending in a clash worthy of samurai.
The rival fell to his knees and breathed his last, blood gushing from his chest and Umbra limped away, forced to return to the village to lick his wounds.
Upon receiving Umbra’s report, the Raikage was not shocked as he had seen the way that the rival had looked upon Umbra with all but envy.
The Raikage asked Umbra if he felt ready to become the next in his place, to which Umbra replied that he still felt that he would not be adequate for the roll.
Thus the now former Raikage pushed him into the role, half just on a whim but also half because of the whole ‘People who don’t want to be leaders make the best ones’ thing.
As Raikage, Umbra looked into making the Ninja of the village as strong as possible turning the academy selection process from one of quantity to one of quality and changed the syllabus to make the youngsters as ready for the life of an assassin.
To cement this, he also wanted to make it mandatory for a new Genin to have killed a death row prisoner before they could accept any mission beyond D rank, however the council would not allow this, fearing the mental health of the children forced to do so.
Umbra aspires to thaw relations between Kumo and the other four great villages and has been looking into capturing either the Nibi or the Sanbi for Kumogakure.
He is also looking for an aspiring young Genin to be his apprentice so he can shape another person’s future directly.
As well as this, though less advertently, he is looking for a suitor to take his mind off of the daily qualms of Kage-hood.
