Personality:
Facetious. Outrageous. Inventive. Meticulous. Decorative. Resentful. Accessible. Versatile. Persistent. Direct. Resourceful. Nomadic.
On the positive end of the spectrum, Zekius is a responsive and flexible individual when it comes to business. He is considerably improvising when the plans change, or if he and his team must act on a whim. His versatility comes from his puppets which are capable of a multitude of functions… those of which can be interchanged upon request or desirability depending on their usages. Sociably, Zekius can be blunt or notably persuasive during his dealings with others. He also is exceptionally meticulous and innovative, which is evident by his puppet designs that are carefully crafted with detailed adornments or hyper realistic components.
On the negative side, Zekius is prone to brooding and has a tendency to act irrationally. He also behaves mischievously at times which can ruin his trust from others. Which in turn, can isolate him from outside support. Finding instigation amusing, can dig him in a hole even further. His facetious humor stems from his early childhood traumas that molded his insensitive outlook on death. If ever a life must be taken, he offers no hesitation accompanied with a sadistic approach. Oftentimes, Zekius appears to bystanders as outrageous with outlandish incentives. His grim taste for his puppets' aesthetic further supports this claim.
When it comes to his puppets, Zekius is highly obsessive and possessive of them. He designs and constructs them himself, and is constantly working on enhancements for them. Spending time at his craft table is his favorite escape. Making the visions of his passion tangible and maneuverable, is one of his greatest delights. The unpredictable nature of human figures despises him, so he prefers to seize control by the strings of his inanimate ones. It is through his puppets that he is able to showcase his innermost expressions. Despite their appearance, each one is an extension of himself that he can enforce his will unto. His passion for puppetry, being the inspiration behind adopting the Chikamatsu name that isn't bound by blood.

Backstory:
Born to a clan reject and former slave, Zekius's upbringing was far from ideal. His father originated from the Junichi clan, but eventually became an outcast after an attempt to discreetly marry one of his prized properties. Whom of which, being the future mother of Zekius. They were discovered and his father was publicly executed. A notable loss for the Desert Shadows which his father served under during Shoji's occupation. Meanwhile, Zekius's pregnant mother fled away far before she could be thrown back to the wolves. From there, his mother barely managed to find a band of nomads that took her in exchange for her caretaking of their orphans.
Zekius rose up under the guardianship of his mother and her physically abusive new partner. Neither of which were suitable to parent a child. His mother suffered from postpartum depression accompanied with borderline personality, which spiraled into an apathetic view of her own son. She was highly neglectful of Zekius to the point of abandonment, but not after Zekius was subjected to years of physical and psychological trauma. Once he was abandoned outside the hut of a stranger at the age of nine, he was adopted into a new family. His new caretaker was secretly hand selected by his mother for the fact that she could not bear a child of her own.
His adoptive mother was a medic of the Desert Shadows and, his new father figure, a respectable operative of the Sons of the Sun. They offered a significant change in environment to Zekius. Yet despite their admirable efforts, Zekius matured into the black sheep of the family who couldn't ever learn how to reciprocate affection. A few years later, the family would adopt a new son as a companion for Zekius. Resulting from various failed attempts, he and his brother finally grew into an unusual companionship. His brother seemed to be the family's favorite for his affectionate personality. Jealousy, however, was never an issue as Zekius never cared enough.
Upon graduating the academy at the age of twelve, his brother and mother became casualties of a group of raiders while his father was away on occupation. Zekius returned home from graduation to find the lifeless shells of them. Zekius left his mother exactly as she was for his father to come home to find her rotting corpse. As for his brother, he gutted him right away to preserve him for one of his new inventions. A puppet to which he sewed feathers onto the arms for wings and metallic talons onto the ankles. He and his brother had shared an interest in birds and so it was his twisted way of honoring that memory. He stood there unfeeling as his father agonizingly sobbed over the discovery.
Present day, Zekius nomadically camps on the outskirts of Kennobe as a Desert Jinn. Their ruthless tactics drawing him to join the Jinns of the Desert. His value offered to them was his unique display of kugutsu. He recently found the opportunity to set sail to Kirigakure, serving as a guard for the diplomats. Though he is uninterested in their affairs, he is willing to scratch his nomadic itch for travelling.

id say Gurokumo has enough for about one-three sprays per battle? if that's too much, i can adjust it accordingly!
