[b]Ikaruga stands at a solid six feet tall with a reasonably toned body honed by years of shinobi training. Underneath the black cap that Ikaruga is rarely seen without is two-toned hair, black at the roots as it extends into white locks of hair that the young chunin has taken to styling into two braids that come down to frame each side of his face. When Ikaruga’s bloodline trait isn’t active, his eyes are sky blue, changing to a reddish purple when his clan ability is in use. [/b][/center]

[indent]【[U]Personality[/U]】
[i]Despite his somewhat delinquent-esque appearance, those who get to know Ikaruga often find that he’s actually a pretty nice guy. Always up to deliver words of encouragement, Ikaruga’s welcoming, laid-back nature has led to him being a sort of older brother figure to Kumogakure’s genin and even some of the younger chunin in the ranks. While on the one hand, Ikaruga is known to be a skilled shinobi, he still lacks the absolute killer instinct to allow those around him to be sacrificed for the good of a mission, a fact that holds him back to some extent.



 [/i]

【[U]History[/U]】
[i]From a young age, Ikaruga was brought up on the idea that serving and protecting one that he could proudly call his Lord was the highest honor. As the son of the clan’s pride and joy, this pressure couldn’t have been more apparent. Ikaruga’s mother wasted no time attempting to train her son in the clan’s famed sojutsu style, for it was only natural that the spawn of the clan’s shining jewel could not be allowed to come short of his mother’s greatness. Through it all, Ikaruga managed to maintain the sunny disposition he’s known for today, a trait that warmed the hearts of even some of the strictest elders of the Yayoi clan. 

Eventually, young Ikaruga decided that he would start a career as a shinobi, having heard stories of about supposedly glorious battles and heroes of the shinobi world all throughout his life. While his mother was apprehensive at first, she consented to the idea with the condition that her son would make a name for himself amongst the ranks of shinobi, thereby heightening the clan’s status further. It was in Ikaruga’s initial years as a Genin that he finally understood what he felt was his true calling. After finally making friends outside of the watch of the Yayoi clan, he realized that it wasn’t any individual lord that he wanted to serve, but the people of Kumogakure as a whole. With added resolve, Ikaruga managed to distinguish himself as a particularly skilled genin, eventually passing through the chunin exam where his skills with the spear and ability to work excellently in team contexts was put on full display.

As of right now, Ikaruga is a reasonably accomplished chunin with a good rapport among the village folk. Though, he won’t be satisfied until he’s at least achieved the rank of “jonin”.[/i]

【[U]Family ties[/U]】
[i]The Yayoi clan is actually rather large, with a branch in nearly every part of the known world. On special occasions the clan will gather in an attempt to reconnect and share information about the recent happenings in their respective villages. Outside of these occasions, however, there isn’t too much communication between the individual branches.[/i]

【[U]Dreams and fears[/U]】
[i]Above all, Ikaruga wishes for a world in which there can be true peace. However, knowing that to be impossible, Ikaruga wants to become a prime player in the future security of Kumogakure in order to ensure that at least his home and loved ones can remain safe under his watch.

Ikaruga’s greatest fear is the threat of all-out war breaking out and being powerless to stop Kumogakure from falling at the hands of its enemies.[/i][/indent]

[indent]【[U]Fighting style[/U]】
[i]As a master of sojutsu, Ikaruga is skilled at using the length of his weapon to his advantage, making pinpoint strikes at enemies’ vitals while minimizing the chance of retaliation in close combat. Ikaruga prefers to use quick footwork and his incredible flexibility to position himself for single attacks rather than engaging in a full on flurry of blows in an attempt to conserve stamina. Use of ninjutsu on his part is mainly for erecting barriers to defend allies rather than offensive purposes.[/i]

【[U]Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit[/U]】
[b][u]Bloodline limit name:[/u][/b]
[i]”Fierce Jibakurei Method”[/i]
[b][u]Description:[/u][/b]
[i]After setting up an appropriate “territory” using special sticks of incense infused with the user’s chakra, the user forms a “contract” with the prepared territory to become the area’s appointed “guardian”. What this means is that, once activated, the user becomes capable of drawing nature chakra from the surrounding area in order to enhance their abilities. To signify the user’s intake of nature chakra, a “flame” made of chakra appears by their head, a phenomena that draws some comparison to the form of a “hitodama”. Other visual signifiers are veins of nature chakra running through the user’s skin and a change in the user’s eye color. In some cases (like Ikaruga’s), other features like the user’s lips may take on a different hue. Along with the increase of the user’s physical abilities, the receiver of the territory’s nature chakra is also able to manipulate the chakra into shapes, an ability that pairs well with the spear techniques of the Yayoi clan.[/i]
[b][u]Strengths:[/u][/b]
[i]As what essentially amounts to a sort of pseudo “Sage Mode”, the Yayoi Clan’s secret technique serves as an effective boost to the user’s overall effectiveness. The use of nature chakra itself also serves as a deterrent to those who might think to try and absorb the chakra from the user’s attacks. [/i]
[b][u]Weaknesses:[/u][/b]
[i]As a result of the Fierce Jibakure Method’s development by non-shinobi chakra users, attempts by the user to perform ninjutsu or genjutsu while drawing upon the territory’s power runs the risk of drawing in too much nature chakra at once and turning the user to stone. As a result, in order to operate safely the user must only make use of physical techniques (like the Yayoi family sojutsu, for instance) and the enhanced chakra molding granted by the territory. Furthermore, the user can only draw upon nature chakra within the established territory, which means that a chase could be impossible without sacrificing power in order to pursue an enemy. As a result of the territory being created through a ritual-esque contract, the territory needs to be prepared in advance, and any disruption to the burning incense sticks will lead to the territory being void. In other words, an enemy team of shinobi with prior knowledge of the technique could devote time to finding and destroying the territory border before engaging Ikaruga.[/i]

[i]Yayoi Style Sojutsu: Spiral Driver[/i]
[b][u]Rank:[/u][/b]
[i]A[/i]
[b][u]Range:[/u][/b]
[i]Depending on the sort of strike being made, the range of an attack can extend from the tip of Ikaruga’s spear, to approximately 15 meters away.[/i]
[b][u]Description:[/u][/b]
[i]In order to augment the range and offensive power of spear strikes, the user of the technique releases chakra from their spear as a sort of drill to pierce opponents. When the target is pierced by an attack using this technique, the flesh surrounding the point of impact tends to twist in a similar spiral formation, making wounds from Ikaruga’s attack take an incredible amount of time to heal.

[i]The “One-Man Phalanx” only extends to the range of Ikaruga’s spear unless combined with “Spiral Driver”[/i]
[b][u]Description:[/u][/b]
[i]Using incredible speed, the user unleashes several near-simultaneous spear strikes and creates a wall of afterimages, some of which are actually feints that hide the user’s actual strikes within. [/i]

[i]Yari no Rasen (Spear of Spiral)[/i]
[b][u]Description:[/u][/b]
[i]A spear of approximately eight feet in length, topped with a spiraled head reminiscent of a unicorn’s horn. The shaft of the spear is a vibrant crimson and capped with gold at the opposite end of the spearhead. The metal used to create the spearhead is especially good at interacting with chakra, making it incredibly useful for maximizing the efficiency of the “Spiral Driver” technique. [/i][/indent][/hider]
