NAME: Ienaga
ALIASES: The Patriarch
CLAN: Shirogane Puppet
AGE: N/A
GENDER: Genderless with Masculine Traits (He/Him, They/Them, It/That)
RANK: D
STARTING NATION: Land of Fire
APPEARANCE
Ienaga is a supremely sturdy puppet construct. His form was constructed from wood harvested with permission from the Senju forests. Despite this increased durability the mechanisms within the puppet still allow for extremely refined movement. Even down to the fingertips, as long as he is puppeteered correctly.
As for aesthetics. Ienaga stands at around seven feet tall. An imposing figure by humanoid standards but still dwarfed by the much larger Kumo On'na. Atop his head is usually found a straw hat, and instead of a humanoid face he possesses a face akin to that of an Oni or similar yokai. Tsukuru designed this face to be removable so he could change it with other designs if he fancied.
The most unique part of Ienaga's design is the carefully painted "tattoos" that cover its form. Although typically covered by the Samurai robe it is adorned in. The designs and patterns depict the story of a Phoenix in a constant cycle of death and rebirth. Also unique for a puppet is the lack of internal weapons. Instead Tsukuru opted to have a Katana made specifically for the puppet to wield. Seemingly more concerned with creating an idealised Samurai warrior than he was with practicality. Curiously, the Katana will never show the reflection of anyone but Ienaga.

JUTSU
E RANK
Name: Henge no Jutsu [Transformation Technique]
Rank: E
XP: 1XP
Type: Utility
Description: This technique is most often used to disguise the user as another person, but they can also turn into an animal, plant, or inanimate object. Users will gain the attributes and physical features of whatever they transform into, such as a weapon's sharpness or an animal's fangs. To be able to assume so many different forms makes this technique invaluable for not just combat, but intelligence gathering and diversionary tactics as well.
[This technique uses no chakra points.]
Name: Ningyōtsukai no kanshi [Puppeteer's Surveillance]
Rank: E
XP: 1XP
Type: Utility
Description: Ienaga's mask hides the special chakra infused materials that comprise his "eyes." Use of this technique allows Tsukuru to see through Ienaga's eyes as if they were his own, even when not actively puppeteering the construct. This Jutsu only allows shared vision, and anything audible is not transferred. [Player Permission required for them to have been affected in some way by this Jutsu]
[This technique uses no chakra points.]
Name: Kihon-tekina tsūrukitto [Rudimentary Toolkit]
Rank: E
XP 1XP

Description: It is rare for Tsukuru Shirogane to craft a puppet without a few hidden compartments. And Ienaga is no exception. When Ienaga is present and not defeated in a thread Tsukuru is always considered to have access to a rudimentary set of tools. Although not advanced enough for complicated work that would require a workshop they can be used for on the fly tinkering, quick repairs or other assorted small tasks. [If the toolkit is used to affect other players or their properties permission must first be obtained.]
[This technique uses no chakra points.]

BACKGROUND: Shortly before a chance meeting with Kozakura Senju the young puppeteer Tsukuru Shirogane found himself wandering the Senju forest for the goal of delivering a letter. Though intimidated by the sheer stature and size of the trees within the forest he could not deny his interest in the strength of the wood that was synonymous with clan Senju.
Though hesitant, he politely requested to be provided some of the wood by Kozakura. And to his surprise she agreed. With great interest he set up and impromptu workshop and began refining designs for his second puppet. Drawing ideas from both his dreams and the novels he had read of heroic fantastical Samurai battling malevolent demons. To merge the both together would be quite a combination.
Though he initially had some struggles with working the new materials he eventually found his groove. Working tirelessly and often sleeplessly to put all the pieces together. After only a month he had everything together. The trickier part was finding someone in the Land of Fire willing to provide a Wind citizen with a sharp and durable Katana. But eventually he managed to source one such merchant.
The design had been realised. And now Tsukuru had a warrior to perform alongside the Mother Spider.
