Name: Momochi, Zabuza.
Age: 26.
Gender: Male.
Village:Kirigakure no Satou.
Rank: Nukenin. (Missing-nin)
Nature Manipulation: Suiton. (Water Release)
Appearance:
Personality: Zabuza Momochi is a fighter. It could be said that combat is all he knows, and with the village he hails from, that is a definite possibility. But regardless, it would be hard to do an analysis of him without first recording how this one fact affects him. After all, he's been killing since he was a kid. First thing of note is his fairly ruthless, goal-orientated disposition. All of his actions during his brief screentime are pointed towards a goal (defeating Team 7 and killing the bridge builder), which itself helps a larger objective (planning a second coup d'etat on the Mizukage). He tends to not let things get in the way of his current goal, and keeps things in perspective of what works, such as attempting to abandon his current mission when it was no longer profitable (as Gato said he wasn't getting paid).
This view is extended to people, too, and especially his subordinates. Zabuza doesn't hide the fact that if someone - anyone - becomes useless to him, he will discard them. Similarly, he is arrogant in that when he fights, if he sees an opponent as worthless or weak, he becomes overconfident. Somehow this works out for him, but it can be taken advantage of. By now you're probably thinking Zabuza is a bit of an abuse douchebag, which isn't exactly true. But like quite a few not!villains, he has his redeeming traits. One of these is not the fact that he appears to ave the emotional range of a brick wall. Seriously.
Upon instigating a conversation, the other party will be the receivers of standoffish statements and plenty of
to go around. Or the occasional obligatory shocked ninja face, but that's... rare-ish. He is capable of three other expressions (freaky smirk, CRAZYFACE, and manry tears) buuut we don't talk about that. However, that does give him a bit of an advantage. Zabuza is surprisingly observant, and pretty decent at planning. A good example of this is when he figured out how Kakashi's Sharringan worked after one fight (which, unfortunately, everyone & their moms seems to know about), and the whole "I raised a kid to help me overthrow a ninja village" thing. Not to mention that one-off line about the handbook with information on random ninjas.
Another redeeming trait is that he has a basic code of honor, since he thinks raising the dead to fight as an unwilling army is a dick move. Unfortunately, he's kinda part of said undead army, so whether this counts is debatable. And then we reach the wonderful area of character development, brought on by one of the biggest impacts on his life: Haku. It's pretty much always shown that the younger ninja has some effect on Zabuza, even from their first meeting. He could have very well kept walking that day. but he stopped due to a few reasons. Furthermore, he actually kept him around for the several years that it took to actually train the kid, when he could have spent the time perfecting his own skills.
The claim at first is because Haku's kekkei genkai makes him the perfect "weapon", and such a claim is probably true (and is, from said weapon's point of view). What is later revealed, thanks to Naruto being an emotional idiot, is that Zabuza actually cared about the ice-wielder more then just as a tool. He gave enough of a damn to start manlytearing, and then to bullcharge at an army of thugs Beyond that, its never shown how much the older ninja did care, though it is know that he's mildly protective of his tool. Then again, that could just be headcanon talking. All in all, Zabuza Momochi is a outer casing of jerk with a soft squishy center of slightly less jerk. Who then got resurrected as a grumpy, unkillable zombie ninja, but who cares about that.
Jutsu: Hidden Mist Technique
Silent Killing Technique
Water Release: Clone Technique

History: The first time we see Zabuza is as a child, having intruded in the ceremony of the Hidden Mist academy’s graduation exam. A child who simply came off the streets and didn’t take any classes, Zabuza slaughtered each and every one of the participants and would be granted instant Genin status. From that point onward, Zabuza would grow up as a mostly faithful member of Kirigakure no Satou. It was only after the slaughter that the village discontinued such a violent graduation method. This act also christened Zabuza as the ‘Demon of the Hidden Mist’, a moniker that would stick with him forever. Most of Zabuza’s life wasn’t very eventful, working his way up all the way to Jounin status successfully and being placed as both one of Kirigakure’s ANBU and one of the Seven Swordsman of the Mist effectively gaining the Kubikiribouchou soon after. It was only during his later days in ANBU that he decided to plan a coup d'état. Failing, Zabuza would take both the young child Haku and the Demon Brothers along with him as he left Kirigakure, effectively being branded an S-ranked Nukenin (or Missing-nin) in the Bingo Book. After years and years of training, Haku and Zabuza continue to travel around, lending their services as mercenaries for hire until they have gained enough coin for a second coup d’état.
RP Sample: The harsh slice of an average kunai split the neck of an unsuspecting shinobi open, blood spraying upward like a fountain. It hadn’t been too long since the Demon of the Hidden Mist had come across a worthy foe, but the minute the Hidden Mist Technique had come out was the minute that his opponent no longer had a chance. The fight had been decided at that exact moment. However, that was simply one shinobi out of many down. Seeing their friend die before their eyes jostled many of the group’s members, but they realized what they were getting into when they decided to go against such a vicious foe.
With a low grunt, the Hidden Mist Technique would fall and Zabuza would take a light grip upon the hilt of his weapon. His eyes took quick notice of the headbands of the shinobi, each holding the ‘Konohagakure’ symbol upon it. “Figures the Leaf would send trash like you.” The tone in Zabuza’s voice may have held a hint of annoyance, preferring worthy foes to the tokubetsu jounin that had been sent. Whoosh! Zabuza’s Kubikiribouchou weapon was lifted, the tip of the carving weapon pointed toward the center of the group. “I’ll send you all to hell.” An ominous threat… No… An ominous promise.
While two of the shinobi began to form handseals Zabuza dashed forward, his large weapon easily decapitating the two of them before they had a chance to move. However, it was with this distraction that Zabuza took a kunai directly in the center of his back. …Like that would deter him. Twisting on his heel and facing them, the three remaining shinobi would begin to form handseals as quick as they could. Unfortunately, the combination jutsu that they were able to pull off would miss its mark. Nodding toward a nearby tree, three senbon would be fired into the necks of the group.
They couldn’t move, paralyzed from such a dead aim. Standing atop the motioned toward limb, the masked male would watch as the large Decapitating Carving Knife landed three more victims upon it. Having been nicked a tad bit, the weapon would use the iron gathered from the spilled blood of its foes to return itself to its previous position. “We’re done here, Haku.” Another gruff grunt escaped the irritated Nukenin, as the Kubikiribouchou was placed back onto his back. “Let’s hope they send stronger enemies next time.” Utilizing the easiest of shinobi techniques, the Body Flicker, Zabuza and Haku would exit the area and leave the three decapitated corpses to be recovered later.
