So, I am attempting to create a character that is similar to Hidan. I am somewhat of a fan boy. Anyway, I was trying to think of how I could go about making him in Pathfinder. Now, I know immortality, at least to the degree that he had isn't really possible, nor is the ritual he would do in combat really. So I was thinking maybe going down the line of a Barbarian, or Fighter, or a Cleric, and taking the Deathless Feat line. Problem I am seeing with those feats is that they only apply to half-orcs/orcs and I want to do it as a human. I would imagine there is a way to do that. Basically just go about making him a nigh unkillable melee monster with a scythe, with a bunch of weapon focused feats, and a weapon cord. Maybe also Throw Anything so I can throw it, and then pull it back to me. Any suggestions are very much welcome.
Who? What is the source material for this character?
Ugh, oh...I guess I just assumed everyone know who he was. Lol! He is a villain from the Naruto Shippuden anime. He has immortality granted to him through a ritual he performs to his dark god Jashin. You can stab him, cut him, etc, and it heals pretty much instantly. They managed to defeat him in the show by cutting off his head, because he doesn't exactly have regeneration {though I don't think having such a weakness is necessary for the character I am making}. He also has an ability where he can ingest blood of anyone he cuts, and draws a symbol on the ground of his god, and his skin turns to look like a voodoo doll, and can then proceed to mutilate himself, which in turn kills whoever his blood he took in. Here is an article about him.

He's particularly awesome, because he'd use a scythe to deal damage to his enemies, then through a ritual he'd bind his body to the enemies. this meant any damage done to him also affected his opponent. What made this particularly bad for the opponent is that Hidan was immortal, so a quick sword through the stomach did nothing to him, but killed his opponents.

Obviously something that powerful wouldn't exactly be available to a Pathfinder character because even 20th level characters can technically die. But I thought maybe I could get some kind of deathless barbarian, with way too much HP, and when he "should have died" his skin changes color, and he proceeds to start just beating people.
Sounds like you want Unwilling shield or shared sacrifice and massive amounts of hp.

I could do a human, take the Racial Heritage feat for Orc, and then take the Orc Witch Doctor archtype, and then when I hit the appropriate level take that spell. That would be really cool! Its a thought at least.
I was about to suggest that actually. You could get more HP through going with a Barbarian/Bloodrager (undead bloodline? Don't remember what they do offhand but it'd fit Hidan) dip and then into Eldritch Knight for the better hit and BAB. You can emulate the life-linking through blood and scythe through using a spellstoring weapon with shared sacrifice in it.
Rage prophet may fit slightly better, they also get to heal themselves more.

Its a thought at least. Only one thing about that, a lot of people consider Scarred Witch Doctor to be kind of OP. They get full 9 level casting, cast from the same ability that gives them Fort saves so they overcome the inherent weakness of most casters. This SAD build makes it easy to get as much Dex and Wis as you need to boost the other saves. The lack of living familiar to get killed can also be a positive of the archetype.
If your DM is okay with that though, it's a really cool flavor of Witch. Enjoy being Akatsuki's immortal zealot.

They cast from the cleric spell list.
