Physical Description
A towering figure both sturdy and stoic. He rarely smiles and has a very cold stare. His arms are either at his sides or folded and he stands very still and could almost be mistaken for a mannequin. His body is quite toned after all the training he's had since childhood, he has one scar on the back of his left shoulder from when his sister surprised him with a shuriken. 

Physical Qualities: His eyes are his strongest feature, they never miss anything. He is very agile and quick to catch things.
Physical Flaws: Rather than having a flaw I guess he ignores injuries both small and large, meaning he makes many weak points for himself and this gives the enemy an advantage.

Casual Outfit: It's rare to see Tai wearing anything other than his ninja gear like Omi and his monk gear. But a sneak report from Kimiko showed that he had a pair of scruffy/torn jeans and a t-shirt with a picture of an cartoon ninja.

Emotional Qualities: With his stoic nature he's hard to fool and pull a fast one on, smack talk also doesn't seem to bother him, it just fuels him more.
Emotional Flaws: He can be very stubborn and it causes him to be cold hearted, meaning hard to like. There is one thing that gets to him emotionally and that's if you bring up his deadbeat father.
Habits: Steals toast
Scent: Lavender and bread

~~~~~~~

Affiliation: Xiaolin
Element: Shadows

Powers/Abilities:
Tai can blend in with shadows both naturally as a ninja and literally being the Dragon of Shadows, he can sink into them for a short 10 seconds before being pushed back out. He can change the shape of shadows to fool people and/or scare them off. Another deadly thing he can do is control other peoples shadows and make them move, much like turning them into a puppet, but this takes HIGH concentration, if he moves or is disturbed the puppetry ends.

Power Origins:
The Dragon of Shadow often kept away from public eye, many feared it as it liked to torment people with their fears and bad thoughts. It never had friends and family was unknown, it stayed alone and liked it that way. It mostly practised it's shadow powers to a point it was perfect and dangerous, some say it's own shadow became real and turned human. Rumour was that THAT was the true Dragon of Shadows.

Weakness: As obvious as it is light is a weakness for Tai, it cuts off his ability to hide and sneak around his foes. He's also not very great with large foes such as Cyclopse and heavy weapons. 
Immunities: Most of his attacks aren't physical
Restrictions: Tai can produce shadow clones of himself and control them at will, he can only make 3 in XS and they're very basic, can't talk and can't think for themselves. Think them like clones from the Ring of Nine Dragons. 
Note: In XC Tai can make 4 shadow clones

Level: Tai has been training since he could walk as his family runs a well known Dojo. At the age of 10 Tai became quite gifted and lots of kids feared him, even the biggest kids. When he was 11 he made his first shadow clone, meaning he was ready to start training with real weapons. 

Signiture Wu: Tai has found his fave to be the Shroud of Shadows, he uses it mostly to steal peoples toast in the mornings.
Wudai Weapon: Aurora Bow, a bow that has no arrows. It can only be used by Tai's element, it fires out black arrows locking onto his foe.
Elemental Weapon: Mask of Midnight, a face mask that enhances Tai's sight, it makes his own shadow grow and move like a second set of arms.
Shoku Warrior Move: Shoku Corvus Shadows
Wudai Orion Formation: Tai turns completely black with two white soulless eyes, he sinks into the ground following the path of shadows he comes across and attacks from beneath his foes. It's quite a horrifying image to witness this form.

~~~~~ 

Personality:
Tai is very standoffish and doesn't like to hang out with others, he's blunt and says things as they are. He doesn't show much emotion and it's hard to get him to smile, it takes a lot to do so. He seems rather dark and mysterious on the outside, but if one was to really tap into Tai's soul you could see a small boy who loves the simple things in life like breakfast in the morning and a walk in the snow. 
He's a very quiet person and doesn't talk much, when he does it's never for long. He's often misjudged as a bad person because of his looks and personality, which leads to him not having many friends and keeping to his family and those at the temple only cause he has to.

Biography:
As a child Tai was an innocent soul who enjoyed his morning tv and breakfast until he was old enough to join his mother's Dojo and learn everything there was about martial arts.  His mother was gifted with the sword and was from a long line of Samurai, she was strict on Tai and soon made him lose touch with his child-like ways. Eventually he became emotionless and strong willed to become the best in class, many tried to back stab Tai in order to obtain high rank and this taught him to not keep friends. 
Tai had another teacher however which was his father who taught him how to be a ninja and he used to adore him. That is until he became a deadbeat father who started gambling away the family money and became sloppy being in the shadow of his wife. When she became ill he wasn't around to take care of the family and Tai had to pick up the pieces, Fumika then banished his father. Eventually Tai grew to hate his father for what he did and has sworn to find him one day and make him pay.

Anyway I hope you guys liked reading this one, am happy to have only 1 more to go. Fleshing out these guys is always fun for me so I hope you guys find it fun too! There's only Kami left now and then that's it!

Yeah I've always wanted to reveal that, been meaning to do it
in a better way. I'll do a picture reveal one day for those who
don't read things. And yush, he hides it well maybe too well!
He loves simple things but cannot show it. So glad you love it!!
