[hider=Tanji Tsugiharu(Edited as per GM suggestions] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/O88BgjQ.png?1[/img] [i]“I think he's dead -er, well, everybody else think he is, but now I'm not sure.”[/i] [b]An unassuming man by most standards, not impressive or lacking in most aspects, just simply there. Short, if a bit rustled, brown hair, with a square face free of any scars or blemishes and average everyday brown eyes, in the academy you wouldn't really notice him in the sea of exceptional talent, but he gets by.Not particularly skinny, tall, muscular, just a healthy and acceptable male in his early 20's. Probably not going to amount to much beyond being a low-tier Jonin if he's lucky. Probably.

[/i] 【[U]Rank[/U]】 [i]Chunin[/i] [u][b]Psych. report.[/b][/u] [i]Tanji Tsugiharu has exhibited little to no extreme beliefs or jarring idiosyncrasies (which in itself might be one). The Confederacy has deemed him a loyal citizen of the state. He has a positive work ethic, follows rules and regulations to the letter save for the most exceptional situation (of which he has been disciplined and reprimanded as per the law). He is as kind and self-less as any bachelor of the confederacy is and is devoted to his position. [/i] 【[U]Personality[/U]】 [i]Rather mundane. Pleasant enough in many social interactions, and prefers to follow conversations rather than lead them himself. That said he has some good friends back in his home town and has made a decent few in his new post. Amicable to his clients, but oddly stoic and unfeeling when it comes to dealing with traitors and rebels. He prefers to spend his free time drinking with close friends in a quiet homely tavern or ramen shop, and has an odd fixation with karaoke. When off duty he spends his days with his small family back in his home town. In battle he is as serious as any good shinobi should be in those situations. He is selfless in his duty to the confederacy and has volunteered to be bait on multiple occasions on the condition that the battle ends quickly afterwards. When plans fail and battles are drawn out he doesn't panic too much, but 9 times out of 10 will opt to lead or support a withdrawal. "Live to fight another day."[/i] 【[U]History[/U]】 [i]Tsugiharu's parents were simple Chunin Guards with a Customs House on a major trade route, their duties were rather mundane and drool, but once in a while held excitement when travelers had disagreements with the customsofficer. The couple resided in a modest home after an unplanned pregnancy had made the two man and wife. It was tough going at first but the relative isolation and non-relevancy of the village made for a peaceful life, and they grew content and able with the new family. 14 years after the birth of their first son, and with much more financial stability the 2 deemed themselves ready for another son. The Tanji house lived peacefully for 3 more years until the dissent and turmoil of the Confederacy reached their village leading to a violent terrorist attack on the village's crossroads leading to their deaths. This left the 17 year old boy to care for his young brother, fortunately the Proprietor of the Customs House, who at that point was now an old family friend offered to shelter the 2 orphans until the 18th birthday of the elder brother who decided to not rely on the kindness of the Customs Master any longer. Such the 2 siblings lived in a shabby apartment the elder supporting the small family as a Customs House guard like his parents. He, Tanji Hamurato, would continue to support (and sometimes spoil) his younger brother as he took his own wife(Tanji Orimoto) and had a daughter (Tanji Ekka) of their own while was just starting high-school. Tsugiharu was an average student in his own right never excelling or lacking in any field or discipline. He was studious and forthwith at the academy but never went above or beyond what was required. His work as a Genin in his squad was also mundane sticking to class D and lower missions, in exception to one class C defense contract. Simply tasked with defending a local tavern from extorting thugs (non-shinobi rabble), the mission report told of the 3 genin having to deal with some thugs as the accompanying Jonin talked with the owners, but nothing really came out of it. However rumors that local gangster being rather jumpy, defensive and generally paranoid around small sounds and shadows circulated around the tavern's area. Come the Chunin exams though he displayed adept problem solving and leadership skills within his squad, but that might have just been in need rather than by ambition. He opted to remain quarrel-less and jovial with the other Genin and never really showed exceptionaltalent other than what was required to get through the trials. However it can be noted that during the elimination tournament that the young Tanji employed some rather harsh and quick measures using poisons, weapons and simple genjutsus to end matches before his opponents can truly pull out their trump cards. A good thing too, for the proctors had stated that if not for his "bag of cheap tricks" his opponents would have easily out-classed him had the fight dragged on. He was unceremoniously given the rank of Chunin, barely passing after having been defeated by the more Capable Genin that saw through his ruses in the final rounds of the tournament. After graduating opted to become a Contract work Shinobi unlike his family before him. He takes missions for the Confederacy as many times as he can, but seems to seek missions pertaining to the rooting out and apprehension of dissident and unloyal citizens and terrorists. Currently lives by himself in a modest apartment close to his work place.[/i] 【[U]Family ties[/U]】 [i]Lower-Middle Class, had some hardships for sure, but was never truly in danger of starving or dying of exposure. Such a life made Tsugiharu rather humble and soft-spoken. Hopes to keep up with his duties and occasionally visits his brother and his family.

A bit of a tomboy and a much more naturally talented than her father and uncle in the academy.[/b] 【[U]Dreams and fears[/U]】 [i]Dreams of finally bringing the traitors and belligerents of the Confederacy to justice and hopes to finally see peace and order to the state. Fears of losing his family to the dangers that is the enemies of the Confederacy. [/i] [u][b]Combat reports.[/b][/u] [i]Has a quite odd fighting style and might be the epitome of "work smarter not harder." Picks and chooses his engagements when he knows the enemy may be taken down quickly and with minimal loss. This usually ends up with him or a squad-mate in grievous condition so long the opponent is taken out before unnecessary damage is done to anybody else. Such operations usually include him stringing together a myriad of feints, illusions and gambits to ensure the enemy can be taken down in one decisive attack by his squad rather than prolonged engagements. This unfortunately makes him rather sub-par when caught unawares. As such he is most delegated to planned attacks on high value targets to either eliminate, apprehend or interrogate[/i] 【[U]Fighting style[/U]】 [i]Some might call his methods cowardice but it has kept him alive. He employs the liberal use of clones supplemented by heavy use of false sounds and images using his specialized study in illusionary genjustsu. He chips away at his opponents using small thrown weapons like shurikens and senbons to keep his opponent on edge and unfocused. While his genjutsu gives ample distractions and false visions he also uses fine rope and bells tied to said weapons to create snares and distractions for the slim but inevitable chance that his opponent finally makes a mistake. When they do he delivers a powerful and dibilitating poisons through the same methods as above when the opponent finally opens themselves up to receive his limited supply.[/i] 【[U]Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit[/U]】 NONE 【[U]Ninja techniques[/U]】 [u]A rank techniques:[/u] [i][url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Bringer-of-Darkness_Technique]Bringer of Darkness Technique[/url][/i] [u]B rank techniques:[/u] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Demonic_Flute%3A_Phantom_Sound_Chains]Demonic Bells: Phantom Sound Chains (Uses a Network of Tuned Bells strung onto ropes to create a melody rather than a flute)[/url] [i][url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Interrogation_Genjutsu]Interrogation Genjutsu[/url][/i] [u]C rank techniques:[/u] [i][url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Earth_Release:_Underground_Projection_Fish_Technique]Earth Release: Underground Projection Fish Technique.[/url][/i] [i][url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Illusion_Bell_Needles]Illusion Bell Needles[/url][/i] [i][url=http://www.leafninja.com/genjutsu.php] False Place Technique[/url][/i] [i][url=http://www.leafninja.com/genjutsu.php]Sly Mind Affect Technique[/url][/i] [u]D-E rank techniques:[/u] [i][url=http://www.leafninja.com/genjutsu.php]Hell Viewing Technique[/url][/i] [i][url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Shadow_Senbon]Shadow Senbon [/url][/i] [i][url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Haze_Clone_Technique]Haze Clone Technique.[/url][/i] Academy Jutsus (Substitions, transformation, clone) 【[U]Custom made techniques[/U]】 [b][u]False Sound[/u][/b] [b][u]Rank: C[/u][/b] [b][u]Range: Short - Medium (0m~10m) [/u][/b] [b][u]Description:[/u][/b] [i]Once someone is affected by the jutsu causes them to hear sounds under direction of the ninja that casted it.
