This is some art and a following write up on one of Tumahab’s best agents; the ninja known as Fuuma.

A long, time ago, I had a very strange rp with someone that was…kind of a cross between Samurai Warriors 2 and Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced. One of the things that came from that was a character that I enjoyed playing, a bangaa-version of the character Kotaro Fuma. That would lead into two other characters; one was Dusk, who was essentially a being if Fuma had been fused with the entity of Chaos. The second…was his son.
Without getting into too many details, Fuma would have a son, and his name was Pandemonium, or Pan for short.

The rp ended quite a while ago and Pan has kind of fallen into obscurity, in fact the only picture I had of him went into storage on dA.
However, with all of the thinking of Tumahab, I always had this idea that he would have a partner/agent that would help with some of his tasks. I always thought that would be something that Fuma would be good at doing, but then I realized that Pan would fit that role perfectly.

Since he was a bangaa character, he needed to be updated to pull him away from his Final Fantasy beginnings; it’s one of the reasons why he’s referred to as a ‘reptilian’ in the stories.

Pan and his twin sister were born with the essence of Chaos from their father, a power that they actually knew they had early on, but never used it until it was deemed that they was old enough to start training.
Pan was always excited to hear the tales from his father; his father had served as a ninja to a well known family, and it inspired him to want to travel down the same path, if not that of a ninja then down the path to hone his strength, agility and martial prowess.
However, during his teenage years, tragedy would strike: his father would disappear and his mother would take his sister and run away into hiding without letting him know where or why.

Pan was alone.

He spent years by himself but continued to work on his training; working to increase his strength and agility as well as learn how to use the weapons of the ninja and how to use what powers he could.

For a time he tried to get by with what simple jobs he could find until he tried to sell his skills out and work freelance. He actually had some minor success; some of these jobs would actually involve helping families and clans fight against corrupt merchants, guild members, bandits or leaders.
It would be during one of these missions where he would encounter Tumahab.

Pan would go after the leader of a small but well known family clan at their home, but Tumahab also had dealings with this leader. When the would-be-ninja went for his target, he discovered that he was already dead and that the strange red dragon had killed him.
Unsure of who the dragon was, Pan didn’t take any chances and he escaped, returning to his base. When the family tried to pay him for the work, Pan had declined the payment; he felt that it would be wrong and dishonorable to accept credit since he was not the one who had done the deed.

Unknown to Pan, Tumahab had followed him back to his home and when Pan was along, they spent some time discussing matters. Considering Pan’s Chaotic-influence, his skill and his moral and honor codes, Tumahab convinced Pan to join him; Tumahab had not established his own base or group yet and was slowly building his forces, so he offered Pan a chance to join him as an agent, not only could he hone his own skills and powers, but he would be able to work with Tumahab as a special agent to deal with people like he had before or take on assignments that would require more ‘subtly’.

Considering he would not leave much behind, and he had no idea how to find his family, he agreed to join Tumahab, adopting the name 'Fuuma’, a tradition from the family his father had served as well as to remember his father.

One of the things Fuuma would gain during his time with Tumahab was a unique weapon. He wears a pair of gauntlets that has a series of plates that work with his own chaotic powers; they work in a way so that he can use them as a whip to slash or grapple, use them to create straight blades like daggers or katars, launch the plates out as projectiles, or even launch them out around him in a ‘swam’ attack.
As he grew older, Fuuma’s own demeanor would grow a bit colder than before, but he still upheld his own moral code and honor, knowing that sometimes dark things need to be done to serve a greater purpose.
Despite this, he does actually care for those hat work with them, not wanting to leave anyone should they become lost or injured unless there is no choice. He even has has a bit of a soft spot for some of the newcomers that would join; namely Slash and Edge. Since they also work as agents, he sees them more than just allies and makes sure they they do well and are okay during the assignments they work together.
