The Puppet Master (Finished)

Main Puppet
(Hold onto your hats, she's big.)

History:

The Genin Arc

Seiyuuki Uindo spent most of his life, if not nearly all of it, within the Volcano Country. Being the son of two extremely well off parents, his training and acceptance as a Gennin went very smoothly, and although he was talented, not much placed him above the rest of the nin. This developed an inner most greed for power, and although it never corrupted his loyalty to his village and fellow nin, this corruption lead Seiyuuki to puppetry. Do note, this is not to say that puppetry is evil, but the way Seiyuuki went about it was. Dissecting animals, Seiyuuki needed to know what made them tick. Cats, dogs, bears, apes. Nothing was quite what he wanted however, so at the age of twelve, Seiyuuki Uindo began to murder.

The Inevitable Arc

To kill unnoticeably was hard though. Seiyuuki spent nights up late, working hard on perfecting technique. Sleeping late into the day, his parent’s could feel something was wrong, but who would they tell? They were respected, it was no interest of theirs having the town know their son was acting strangely. His mother, when Seiyuuki was fourteen, had found some of his pajamas, still coated in blood. She died soon after, never the less. What you must understand, is that this was simply the tip of the iceberg. After all, Seiyuuki was still just researching. It was shortly after the death of his mother (her whereabouts still unknown to the authorities) that Seiyuuki finally began to understand. He finally began to grasp the perfection he had been studying. It was immortality, preservance. It was godly in his eyes, he needed to create it, to have it. All this time he had been committing the research in an old farm, far from town. It was time to devise that into his laboratory.

To Birth Demons Arc

It was there, in that inconspicuous barn, out in the middle of nowhere that they poured; Demons, monsters, every last one of them. Seiyuuki would take their bodies, carve away their humanity with a skinning knife and turn them into weapons, no, PIECES OF ART! It was still not enough though, puppet after puppet was created. The wood seemed fragile, their presence not nearly foreboding enough. He needed more, more and more, but, what to do? His fears having become a reality, Seiyuuki quit. He gave up, burned the barn down, there was no hope in the mind of the young Artiste. Falling into a dreary slum, Seiyuuki turned to working at his father’s diamond and gem shop (hence the family’s riches). It was there that he spent the next two years, the dreams of a shinobi doused by artist’s block. To Seiyuuki it was a shame. Until he was sixteen, he spent his days grinding away at diamond after diamond. It was then, then that it came to him. His family had been so supportive, how could he not have realized it.

To Birth Gods Arc

Seiyuuki now knew how to cut the diamond, and where to get it. The only problem was, he only had a vein large enough to create one. He would only ever be able to create one. Taking his time, Seiyuuki moulded a new puppet, the process taking nearly six months to simply get the shape correct. Seiyuuki needed to go slow though, one mistake would mean ever- He slipped! The diamond router gashed the chest of the large mannequin. Seiyuuki was reduced to tears. Yet once again ruin brewed corruption. Returning to his work, Seiyuuki examined the gash, and began to work on edging it out, making it wider. Nearly a year after he started, Seiyuuki finished the puppet. An entire body of diamond, any solid pieces nothing but. The joints were made of steel. But there was still something missing. This time however, the still young puppet master at the age of sixteen, knew exactly what it was. Working in private recesses of his father’s shop, Seiyuuki began to build what he had heard about for years, a heart box. Returning to the abandoned barn, Seiyuuki performed the sickening ritual with precision. His life, and the life of his art, depended on it. It was at that moment of pure desperation, of power lust... that Daedalus was born.

That very same barn was found years later, skinned bodies and human puppets lining it’s burned down interiors, and a laboratory completely smashed to ruin.

The Akatsuki Arc

It may not come to hard to understand for you, reader, that Daedalus had fled Kazangakure shortly after his horrific transformation. It was at this time, now that he was a missing nin, that he had time to hone his others skills. He became known as a destructive monster, as a master of puppetry and seal work. It was somewhere along this period of time when Akatsuki recruited him. From them and their records, he only improved his puppet work further. Their purpose? Seiyuuki cared little for that. He truly had become a monster at this point, and if aiding Akatsuki was what would earn him power, then so be it. However, all great things do not last long as everything eventually falls from grace. Daedalus, at the peak of his talent, was finally defeated by not one, but two Jinchuuriki somewhere near the borders of the Land of Skulls.

The Rebirth Arc

This is not, however, where the story ended. It was not until some fifty years later, that the Death nin discovered Daedalus, his mind in a coma, his body still completely intact. Returning him to the Death village they knew exactly who, and more importantly what, he was. As it was not an opportunity to pass up. Shigakure hired the aid of a skilled Yamanaka, this young girl being particularly talented in memory erasing, and even more skilled in creating false memories. As they attempted to reprogram Daedalus the younger kunoichi went through the most traumatizing incident of her life. It is said she is still in thearpeutical development today. As a good nin should however, she got the job done. Daedalus the Akatsuki member, now believed himself to be a Jounin of the Skull. Not completely convinced the Yamanaka girl hadn’t messed something up during her all but traditional process, the death village assigned assigns constant watch over Daedalus. It is here that we find ourselves today.
