[h1]Lost's Retinue of Surprisingly Not Stereotypical Shinobi.[/h1] [hider=Masato Saruwatari] [center][img]http://static.zerochan.net/L.Lawliet.full.1626269.jpg[/img] [i]“There is nothing more satisfying than seeing your strategy succeed.”[/i] [b]Masato is an average looking individual, he isn't one of those that could easily be picked out a crowd. He stands right around 5'9 and weighs 140 lbs. His choice of clothing also isn't unique, aside from the Chuunin vest that he wears at all times he is dressed in plain t-shirts that vary in color from white to slightly darker white and dark gray jeans. In colder weather he will wear the jacket that is seen above.[/b][/center] [u][b]Personnel files.[/b][/u] [i]Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance.[/i] [indent]【[U]Full Name[/U]】 [I]Masato Saruwatari[/I] 【[U]Alias[/U]】 N/A for now 【[U]Affiliation[/U]】 [i]The Hamajō Confederation[/i] 【[U]Age[/U]】 [i]18[/i] 【[U]Sex[/U]】 [i]Male[/i] 【[U]Sexuality[/U]】 [i]Straight[/i] 【[U]Birthplace[/U]】 [i]Konohagakure[/i] 【[U]Bloodline[/U]】 [i]Saruwatari[/i] 【[U]Rank[/U]】 [i]Chūnin[/i][/indent] [u][b]Psych. report.[/b][/u] [i]Medical secrecy applies.[/i] [indent]【[U]Personality[/U]】 [i]Masato is best described as a cool and distant individual, however this attitude is not a method of preventing bonds or anything related it was simply how he was raised. He is fully capable of affection his method of showing it is just dialed down more so than most. In his own way he is very passionate even if it doesn't translate well to the outside world. When talking about his family, chess, etc there is a distinct gleam in his eyes if one would look close enough. In line with his base personality Masato approaches negative scenarios with a level head, analyzing every thing that makes up the event before he decides what his reaction will be. While at first this makes him seem insincere, and even colder, this is not the case. He simply knows that emotions can cause one to overreact and does his best to avoid doing so.[/i] 【[U]History[/U]】 [i]To say that Masato had a childhood would be a vast exaggeration of the early years in his life. Before he was able to read his parents would spend the entire day reading to him, but they never read from children's books. Instead he listened to them read page after page of books written by strategist from long ago. His family had always been known for their intelligence, and his parents were determined to follow that legacy. As soon as he could read on his own his days were consumed by it, though the topics ended up becoming more varied ranging from mathematics to poetry. Once he entered school Masato excelled for quite some time, partially due to his parents tutoring him at home during this time. However when he reached the age of 10 and was given the chance to graduated it was pulled away from him. While initially the school thought it would be fine to push him forward they soon discovered that his taijutsu was not up to the task and he ended up having to go through another year of school before progressing. This set back discouraged him for a time, but this vanished shortly once his parents began to teach him their Hiden jutsu moveset. His last year at this level of schooling went by quickly as much of his time outside of it was spent learning his family's signature jutsu. While he had been at the top of his class during his younger years he fell behind a bit when he advanced to the next level, though that had nothing to do with the material being too dificult. More and more of his time was being devoted to his extracurricular studies and he simply didn't have time to do all of the work assigned to him. This naturally lead him to falling out of his position at the top but he did not care in the slightest, nor did his parents since he was progressing through their training at a rapid pace. He ended up graduating at the age of 15 and was promoted to the rank of Chunnin as expected. Since then he has divided his time between taking on missions and furthering his control and skill with his jutsu, with much more attention being given to the latter.[/i] 【[U]Family ties[/U]】 [i]He is the only child in his household and he has a very close bond with both his mother and father. The Saruwatari family are very close and rather reclusive, though this is mainly due to the fact that they enjoy activities that are typically carried out in seclusion and not out of a dislike for the company of others.[/i] [b]Hatta Saruwatari | Father | 45, Resides on the Family's property on the outskirts of Konoha, Retired Shinobi[/b] [b]Diao Saruwatari | Mother | 39, Same as above, Active Jounin[/b] 【[U]Dreams and fears[/U]】 [i]Masato wants nothing more than to contribute to his family's legacy and prove that he is worthy of doing so. Naturally his greatest fear is falling short of this and fading into obscurity or worse damning the Saruwatari name to the point that it is meaningless.[/i][/indent] [u][b]Combat reports.[/b][/u] [i]Gathered from evaluation reports after missions.[/i] [indent]【[U]Fighting style[/U]】 [i]Outside of his signature jutsu moveset, Masato is inept at almost every aspect of fighting. When his opponent manages to close the distance and engage in close quarter combat he is forced to rely on dodging until he can intercept his opponent with one of his constructs.[/i] 【[U]Hiden[/U]】 [b][u]Hiden:[/u][/b] [i]Construct Army[/i] [b][u]Description:[/u][/b] [i]Construct Army is a Jutsu that was created by the Saruwatari family many years ago. The user is able to summon a number of different constructs, the exact types differ not only between people but it also depends on what avenues of the jutsu the particular individual pursues. These constructs are in essence non-sentient summons that obey the user completely, though this obedience varies on a couple of factors that will be described later in each individual summon's section. While most of the construct types are discovered through careful study of one of the numerous scrolls that have been passed down every once in a great while a new one will be discovered, after which it is then recorded in either a scroll that has not been filled or in a new one. The constructs are controlled by either vocal commands, movement based commands, or a combination of the two.[/i] [b][u]Strengths:[/u][/b] [i]While each type of construct has it's own strengths the universal strength of this Hiden is it's versitility. The individual strengths of each type will be described in their section.[/i] [b][u]Weaknesses:[/u][/b] [i]Much like the strengths each type of construct has it's own weaknesses which shall be detailed in their area. However they also all carry a universal weakness and that is that they are completely useless if their user is unable to command them. This can be caused by either preventing them from speaking or moving. In addition the usefullness of the constructs can be hampered if the user's vision is effected, either by targeting the eyes directly or using the environment..[/i] [b]Note about the amounts of Constructs[/b] [i] At his current skill level Masato is able to have complete control over a total of 6 C rank constructs, any more than that will lead to a degridation in his control with one exception which will be made obvious shortly. I will now list the total amounts of constructs he can have, including variations. These numbers indicate the max he can have while still retaining complete control over them. 6 C Rank 2 B Rank or 1 B Rank and 3 C Rank 1 A Rank[/i] [U]Custom made techniques[/U]】 [b][u]Jutsu name:[/u][/b] [i]Footsoldier Construct[/i] [b][u]Rank:[/u][/b] [i]C Rank[/i] [b][u]Range:[/u][/b] [i]Close range, must be within blade range.[/i] [b][u]Description:[/u][/b] [i]The Footsoldier is one of the four basic constructs that Masato has, and of them it is both the weakest and strongest. This is due to the fact that it is average in all areas, while the other three each of a specialization. The Footsoldier is equipped with a simple katana and basic armor. It has decent defence against blunt force attacks while it is weak to piercing strikes.[/i] [b][u]Jutsu name:[/u][/b] [i]Shieldbearer Construct[/i] [b][u]Rank:[/u][/b] [i]C Rank[/i] [b][u]Range:[/u][/b] [i]N/A[/i] [b][u]Description:[/u][/b] [i]As the name implies the Shieldbearer Construct is a defense construct that's primary goal is to defend Masato. They come equipped with a large shield and heavy armor. This naturally upsets their movement speed making them the slowest of the base constructs. They have very high defense against blunt force attacks and reasonable defense against piercing ones, however either can destroy them if they land on an unarmored/low armored area though the piercing is more likely to do so. These areas are the same you would find in most armors, the joints, the neck, and the eyes. Given their defensive specialization they have no method of dealing damage.[/i] [b][u]Jutsu name:[/u][/b] [i]Bombarder Construct[/i] [b][u]Rank:[/u][/b] [i]C Rank[/i] [b][u]Range:[/u][/b] [i]Close in the sense that they must be aligned with their target, but they can be very high above them.[/i] [b][u]Description:[/u][/b] [i]The Bombarder Construct is the only one of the four basic ones that does not stand on the ground, it is also the only one that is not humanoid. Instead it is shaped like a small bird. Of the basic constructs it is the fastest but it also has the weakest defense needing to take only one hit in order to be destroyed. The Bombardier's purpose is to fly over the enemy and drop an explosive that has the blast range and power equal to that of a regular explosive tag. They can only drop one at a time and afterwards they have to go on a 'cooldown' in order to create another one.[/i] [b][u]Jutsu name:[/u][/b] [i]Archer Construct.[/i] [b][u]Rank:[/u][/b] [i]C Rank[/i] [b][u]Range:[/u][/b] [i]Most effective at Medium range but can strike from Long distance with a decrease in accuracy.[/i] [b][u]Description:[/u][/b] [i]The Archer Construct is the final of the basic 4 and it focuses on distance attacks with the use of a bow. It is the second weakest in terms of defense, though the difference between it and the Bombardier is very small. Unless the strike hit's one on the arm or leg it only takes one hit to destroy it. Each construct has a quiver filled with 25 arrows. They do not carry any melee weapons as they are designed to stay outside of the range of their target.[/i] [b][u]Jutsu name:[/u][/b] [i]Drill Sergeant.[/i] [b][u]Rank:[/u][/b] [i]C Rank[/i] [b][u]Range:[/u][/b] [i]N/A.[/i] [b][u]Description:[/u][/b] [i]The Drill Sergeant allows Masato to have an additional 2 C Rank constructs on the field without a loss of control. This means that if he wished he could use 6 Drill Sergeants in order to double the amount of C rank constructs he can use. However if the Drill Sergeant is destroyed he will lose that increased control immediately and will have to get rid of the extra constructs or risk disobedience. In addition he can only use the initial 6 Drill Sergeants at most, he can not use them to control additional Drill Sergeants. The construct itself is between the Footsoldier and the Shieldbearer in terms of defense, it wears no armor but is highly durable. It would take two blows that would be fatal to a human to destroy it, or 4 in non lethal locations. Of course this can be decreased to one if it loses it's head.[/i] [b][u]Jutsu name:[/u][/b] [i]Assassin[/i] [b][u]Rank:[/u][/b] [i]B Rank[/i] [b][u]Range:[/u][/b] [i]This model requires extreme close range to be at it's most effective.[/i] [b][u]Description:[/u][/b] [i]The Assassin is the fastest of all of his current constructs, while also by far the stealthiest capable of masking its presence from lesser skilled Chunnin down. It has very weak defenses, equal to that of the Bombarder, but it is highly skilled in close quarter combat. It's agility allows it to dodge and parry for quite sometime while it attempts to make an opening to land a killing blow. It is equipped with a tanto and dark clothing.[/i] [b][u]Jutsu name:[/u][/b] [i]The General[/i] [b][u]Rank:[/u][/b] [i]A Rank[/i] [b][u]Range:[/u][/b] [i]Close range.[/i] [b][u]Description:[/u][/b] [i]As its rank would indicate The General is the strongest of Masato's current constructs. While most of the other constructs stand right around Masato's height, with the exception of the Bombarder, The General stands at 6'3. He is equipped with a stronger katana than the footsoldier and armor that is equal to that of the Shieldbearer. His movement speed is still hindered but not to the degree of the Shieldbearer. With his armor and durability it takes seven solid hits to destroy him, but like most of the others this can be circumvented. In the Case of The General if he is his directly in the eye he will either be disabled or completely destroyed.[/i][/indent] [/hider]
