Edited Sensei. Please let me know if you have a problem with anything here. Name: Ketsuha Akira. Epithet: Akira of the thousand cuts. Gender: Male. Age: 26. Rank: Jounin. Affiliation(Village): Kirigakure no sato (village hidden in the mist) Appearance: http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs51/f/2009/313/d/7/Mercenary_Swordsman_by_Wuglord.jpg Jutsus: Signature moves: Ketsukei Hengen (Blood transformation) (Rank D) – This basic Chikihaku technique gives the Ketsuha member the power over blood an its properties. He can instantly make blood coagulate, evaporate or turn it back into liquid. Miru Koujou (All Seeing Compromise) (Rank C) – One of Ketsuhas hijutsus. An upgraded version of the shunshin no jutsu, but shorter (range is about 15 meters). It is however much faster and more accurate. Kawarimi no jutsu (Rank E) - Basic technique used to get out of trouble. [hider=Kekkei Genkai]Kekkei Genkai: Name: Chikihaku (Blood Soul) Ability: Chikihaku is the Kekkei Genkai of the Ketsuha Clan. It allows the bearer to use Ketsueki (Blood Style) techniques, and also allows him to control his own blood almost any way he wants. Further more, if there is even just a drop of blood a user of Chikihaku can pinpoint it, even if it is not visible to him. He can also analyze blood just from looking at it. Weakness: It is a well known fact that you can die from loss of blood. Chikihaku-users are more dependant on rest between fights than any other clan. Side Effects: For some reason people from the Ketsuha clan always looks pale.[/hider] [hider=Example jutsus for use in-game] Genjutsu Kai (Dispel genjutsu) (Rank C) - If you become a jounin without knowing how to dispel your genjutsus you should be ashamed of yourself. Ketsukei Hengen (Blood transformation) (Rank D) – This basic Chikihaku technique gives the Ketsuha member the power over blood and its properties. She can instantly make blood coagulate, evaporate or turn it back into liquid. Ketsueki Hyouteki (Blood Target) (Rank C) – One of the Chikihakus most dangerous techniques. If a Ketsuha member can get his opponents blood mixed with his own, the Ketsuha can freely control her opponents’ blood too (most Chikihaku jutsus can be used on/with an opponent). Ketsueki Shuriken (Blood Shuriken) (Rank C) – Drops of chakra-infused blood can be thrown against an opponent and will act as shurikens. Ketsukei Soushi (Blood Creation) (Rank D) – This basic Chikaihaku technique allows a Ketsuha member to use her chakra to hasten the recreation of her own blood. Ketsukei no Bekkei (Bloodform) (Rank B) - The bearer of Chikihaku can turn herself into blood, but while liquid form he can’t attack and can’t use any other jutsus, it also uses a lot of chakra. The user must find a safe place to regain her own form, which will take several hours. Ketsukei no Kiri (Bloodmist) (Rank C) - The user can store inanimate objects in a mist-state, but must constantly maintain them there. If the user should fall unconscious the objects will materialize next too her. Ketsueki no Tate (Blood Shield) (Rank C) – A shield made out of the users blood. The strength of the shield is based on how much blood is used. Ketsueki Bunshin no Jutsu (Blood Clone Technique) – As opposed to the normal [element] clone, the blood version does not only contain the users chakra, but also an amount of her blood. This makes the clone more resistant to damage. (Where an ordinary clone is dispelled after one damaging blow, the blood clone can mostly take around 2-3 hits.) Apart from this it follws the same rules as the kage bunshin. (Rank C) Miru Koujou (All Seeing Compromise) (Rank C) – One of Ketsuhas hijutsus. An upgraded version of the shunshin no jutsu, but shorter (range is about 15 meters). It is however much faster and more accurate. Miru Fuusha (All Seeing Windmill) (Rank C) - One of Ketsuhas hijutsus. The Miru-style borrows heavily from the Gouken-style of Konoha with the exception that it focus on the upper body instead of the lower. Miru Fuusha is a powerful curved punch, equal to the Konoha Senpuu. It derives most of its energy from the twisting of the users body, adding the users weight into every blow. With a sword in hand this becomes a fierce horizontal cut. Miru Gufuu (All Seeing Tornado) (Rank B) - One of Ketsuhas hijutsus. An upgraded Miru Fuusha. The user will perform a second swing right after the first one. Miru Kuchikukan (All Seeing Destroyer) (Rank B) – One of Ketsuhas hijutsus. The user will position herself crouching low, possibly to avoid an incoming attack. She will punch straight up and aim for her opponents chin. Miru Boufuu (All Seeing Storm) (Rank A) – One of Ketsuhas hijutsus. The final stage of this branch of attacks. Three strikes.[/hider]] Fighting style: Akira likes to finish his fights fast. Using his gauntlet and jutsus he’ll try to wound his opponent and steal some blood. Thus the fight ends. He relies mostly on his KG skills, but likes to mix things up with some taijutsu if he has a chance. The Ketsuha Clan has developed a taijutsu style called Miru Me (the allseeing eye). It is similar to Konoha's Gouken style (Rock Lee/Maito Gai), but relies heavily on the upper body instead of the lower. The Miru Me style is built on the principle of turning or twisting the body, thus allowing kinetic linking to add momentum into every attack. Turning also allows the user to see what goes on aound her as she is not always facing the same way. That is why it is named the allseeing eye. All Miru Me techniques can be used both unarmed and with a great range of weapons. Field of Specialty: Taijutsu/Ninjutsu. Weapons: Standard issue kunai and shuriken in a belt pouch. A European-style gauntlet with sharpened fingers on his left hand. He also carries a sword that is slightly longer than the standard. Personality: Akira is rarely seen without a smile, He doesn’t joke or laugh a lot, but the smile is always there. He can be very supportive and protective of things and people that are important to him. Being from another village himself, Akira does not possess the thinly veiled racism that most other ninjas take for granted. “Konoha ninjas are like this, Suna is like that”. Akira sees all the ninja villages (and their ninjas) as misinformed brothers and sisters. History: The hidden village of shade is a small ninja village that lies on the border between the fire country and the tea country. The village was once home to the great Ketsuha clan, rulers of all they could get their hands on. When the great ninja war came the Ketsuha clan had no time to rest between their battles and inevitably they they fell one by one. Today the hidden village of shade acts as an outpost for Kirigakure no sato. They work together and help each other out. Akira had a normal upbringing and his parents were truly happy that he had inherited the ability of the clan. He went to the shades academy and graduated a few years later. He trained hard with his team and was sent to the chuunin exam wearing the symbol of a kiri-ninja. The last stage of the exam was, as always, a live fight in front of a big audience and the five kages. During the fight Akira managed to scratch his opponent and licked his fingers with a satisfied smile. With all that new power he barely could decide what to do. The match was over. Makoto stopped the blood inside his opponent's body. Three seconds later, when he was declared winner, he allowed the blood to flow once more. Most of the kages agreed that it was a devastating power to behold. Akira became a Chuunin and was contacted only a few days later by the hidden leaf. They had done their homework because he’d posed as a kiri ninja during the exam and the messenger arrived in the hidden shade. Akira started doing more and more jobs for the hidden leaf and that of course attracted the attention of Kiri, who still saw the hidden shades ninjas as theirs. Along with the offer of his next mission for Kiri came a house and the title of jounin. At that point he was 25, still young and growing. For the following year he has acted together with other kiri-jounins on high-risk missions. Then the Mizukage gave him a letter, a recommendation to become a sensei. An offer he couldn’t refuse. Others: The rest of his clan lives in the hidden village of shade, no danger that threaten the hidden mist means much to Akira. Rumor has it that many other villages constantly sends offers and gifts to Akira, attempting to persuade him to leave the mist and work for them instead. Why this is, and if so, why he choose to stay in the mist is unknown. What is known is that he sometimes ask the mizukage for permission to leave the village, a wish that is granted almost every time. (Note, most people doesn't know that he's from another village) Akira loves food and will go out of his way (on missions) to taste local dishes. His favourite kind of food is salty, with lots of flavour. Bland food, like plain rice, is a waste of resources in his opinion.
