Ni and San

Ni (二, two) and his twin brother San (三, three) are currently located in the 's,. Born with the unique Kekkei Genkai "", they are a fearsome duo and constantly act together.

Personality
Differing greatly, Ni acts as the superior and smarter of the two and acts rational in most instances. Despite being the same age and equal to San, Ni tends to demean him for his wild and rambunctious ways. He is quite open with the villagers and is friendly to all, commonly greeting people as he walks through the village. During battle, he takes a similar approach stalling them with small talk so San can get in with a quick attack. Despite his calm nature, Ni has faced many troubles in his childhood. Along with his brother, they both were former slaves until Shimogakure ninja rescued them at the age of 7. This scarred Ni, but he manages to hide it well.

San is a different story, compared to his calm and happy twin Ni. San acts out and tends to make a fool of himself, and Ni in public much to the latter's dismay. He hates sitting back in Ni, and attempts to overpower Ni with his own fiery will. Never winning that struggle, San has secretly accepted that he is inferior to Ni and simply chooses to work alongside his brother with precision like no other. In battle, San has shown to be wild and unpredictable. He would risk himself to take out his target, and once took a katana through the abdomen. Despite the damage from that battle, he had the will to keep fighting, until saved by Ni.

Appearance
Around the same height, Ni and San both have combed black hair and black eyes. As the host of the two, Ni wears a black v-necked shirt, with a black hakama. A fish net wrapping extends from his wrists up to his elbows, and a purple belt sits at his waist. San protrudes from Ni at the neck, his hair covering his face in most instances. San wears the same outfit, just white in color with a purple belt around his waist. Around both of their necks are a pair of thick purple beads with the kanji "地蔵" spaced out every two beads. Due to the cold weather of the Land of Frost, Ni commonly dresses himself in a white cloak and adorns himself in a silver mask with six horizontal narrow slits going down both sides.

The, is a unique that proved to develop in Ni and San from a young age. is the unique ability of Ni and San that allows them to unify with another's body. Typically, San is dormant in Ni's body, with his head protruding from the back of Ni's neck.

When Ni is in need of assistance, San can bring out some of his body parts to aid Ni in blocking or attacking. San's arms and legs can emerge from those of Ni's to increase the force and quantity to his physical attacks. If the situation comes where Ni is pinned down for some reason, San can release his arms to form the hand seals allowing Ni to release the jutsu. The kekkei genkai also allows for the two to rapidly regenerate their cells, making small wounds nothing and having the down time from a major wound. By going into their opposites body, they can heal something like a lost limb within 2 days. Major damage like decapitation or a heart attack are not "fixable" by this technique.

Behind the Scenes
After creating Sumemima who I believed was an original and my favorite character in a while, I was called away for a week. I came back to see several other Puppeteers created, which somewhat annoyed me but what could I do. The funny part was, I could do something. I created another character, and Ni and San were the product. After going through some stuff on Narutopedia, I became interested in the kekkei genkai.

The author wanted to be original with this character and placed him in the Land of Frost, in Shimogakure. Due to the lack of history behind the village and land itself, it makes a perfect landscape to be crafted until more canon details are given.
