_________________||Now, Some Details…||
tab What Are You Like?| It is insanity to repeat what has demonstrably failed. We're going to have to be a more willing to leave our comfort zone, and this is coming from the guy who's family puts hundreds of dangerous insects inside their flesh. I don't know what's out there, but we should find out. I tend to be quiet and understated. What I lack in verbal range, I instinctively make up for with body language. Words are hard to use and easy to abuse and listening to long speeches make me uncomfortable.
tab What Do You Believe In?| I believe in making the best out of what was given to me. I should co-exist with this world around me, rather than trying to forcefully shape it into something that it no longer can be.
tab What Do You Fear?|
- • Large gatherings of people make me hairs-on-edge uncomfortable. I cannot help but always be on guard when far outnumbered by strangers. People are far more unpredictable than animals.
• Hunger and thirst. I experience anxiety when supplies get low. Intense hunger and thirst will drive me to desperate acts, morality be damned.
• I fear the dead. A body is just a body and I have no qualms using it as such but my acts and readiness to desecrate corpses have made me paranoid of karmic retribution from spirits.... Have I eaten man before? What a strange question...
- • I am personally pretty messed up in many ways so I have learned tolerance and empathy for others, unless I am being negatively affected.
• I am willing to practice unconventional methods some people may find reprehensible.
• I hold human life in a relatively high regard. I'm more likely to chose to help a human than to help a beast and my instincts are to save people in trouble.
- • As much as I may say I'm tolerant and empathetic, the rules of nature are still in full effect for me. My moral compass vanishes when I am being threatened in some way.
• I adapt to the world around me, becoming more hostile and feral the longer I am outside civilization. Is there a point of no return?
• My mind and my instincts are constantly at odds as both tend to interpret this world in different ways while I lack any experience. Perhaps as I grow and experience more of this world, I will know which one to trust.
tab What Have You Experienced?| My family fled away from their home village while I was still in the womb. I... don't recognize the symbol of the village, but I don't recognize the symbol of any village, you must understand. My parents, believing that the plague was contagious, sought refuge in a treacherously difficult to navigate forest. We are Aburame, you see. Their insects would allow us to survive in such a place. So in the middle of the night, my parents set off with large gourds of insects to seek a refuge away from the chaos.
It was in this isolation, surrounded by bugs and beasts that I was born and raised. A small number of times each year, the family would journey towards a small village for supplies and for news. I quite relished these trips, allowing me to experience more of the world. The stories around the world were fascinating too. Technology had begun to grow around then and it became easy to hear broadcasts through radio or Intranet. Our family even purchased one for their hidden home. When war began to spread, father took the radio away. He did no wish me to hear the grim news being reported, the cruelty inflicted by humans unto humans. Of course they still listened, but over time my interest in it faded away when other activities occupied my time. I was, after all, in the midst of integrating my very first hive with my body.
One day, when I was 10 years old, hunter-nins wearing the headbands of Father and Mother's village had found their way to our hidden house. Father and Mother had grown lax in their years of solitude and, well, their home village had grown desperate for manpower. Mother hid me in the waste and refuge of our house. It stank. Out of fear, I remained motionless in that pile for timeless hours, my only contact with the outside world being the kikaichu implanted in me. When I finally could not stand the nauseating stench, I left it to find myself alone. I... never saw my parents again. I do not know what happened to them.
The various insect hives my parents had kept were a problem. There was no way I had the chakra or the training to maintain so many, so I had to release them. Huge swarms of chakra absorbing insects dispersed through the forests while I kept as many as I could on me. I spent the next few years of my life living alone. When I tried to retrace my steps to the nearby towns, I found them naught but smoldering ruins. I took what I could salvage over many trips and lived alone. Without any guidance for my personal training, I focused more on surviving day to day. Not particularly strong, I focused on training what I could manage by myself. Such as speed, stewing, or utilizing poisons. I shunned any contact with other humans, for the trauma of my parents being taken away was, is, still fresh in my mind. The disasters, natural, man-made, and unnatural, I heard from salvaged radios or from sneaking around convinced me that the current path people had chosen was ultimately unsustainable. I often thought about the end of humanity. Surviving on my own was challenging. There were many times I nearly starved to death, especially during the cold winters. My urge to survive was very strong though. I... did whatever I had to. It worked, didn't it?
It was during my 15th winter when I found myself encased in crystal.... Seemingly no rhyme or reason.

- • Kikaichu Reminesence: He was a boy beloved by insects...
When the great disaster struck the lands, some of the insects of the Aburame Clan sought out new, usually non-human, hosts. However, when these insects are exposed to Ryslatho, some deep primal memory of theirs awakens. Ryslatho can utilize non-hostile Hives which are within 5 meters of him for his own Clan techniques if they are not bonded to another human being.
• Entomon Necrosis: It's free real estate
Ryslatho was a host to kikaichu before he was cocooned, as most Aburame are. Those insects all died within him, leaving behind dead bugs and dusty carapaces that slowly seep out his pores until new tenants can give his body a spring cleaning. The hive network left behind is easily integrated by any newcomers and allows for an additional 150 insects per hive to reside in Ryslatho.
