Supplementary to your faceclaim/image choice.[/color][/indent] [b]PERSONALITY & MOTIVATIONS[/b] [indent][color=gray]To most people, Kiyoshi could be best described as distant. His interactions with other students if often minimal, as he's always in his own world during break periods, surrounded by many notebooks upon notebooks about complex Fuinjutsu theory. When people do talk to him, they find him to be rather polite, if seemingly meek, never seeming to call anyone by their force name, even if told it is okay to do so. To those who know him closely, however, they know that what keeps Kiyoshi from interacting with people isn't fear or even shyness, it's simply that he doesn't care to talk to most people. This is due in part because he finds it hard to find common interests with others his age as the interest he does have tend to go way over the heads of most classmates he tries explains it too. But another part of his distance from most others comes from the fact that he still has yet to really recover from the trauma of the Night of Crimson Tides. He still often has nightmares about it, and has become paranoid about the people he cares about dying in front of him. To prevent that is the reason he even decided to become a shinobi in the first place, to protect those he still has left. But he knows the type of profession that the life of a shinobi entails, and thus has convinced himself that by keeping his emotional distance from those he might be teamed with, then if they do end up dying one day, he won't be connected enough to care about them.[/color][/indent] [b]CLAN HISTORY[/b] [indent][color=gray]The Uzumaki Clan is the founding clan of Uzushiogakure, the Village Hidden by Whirling Tides, and has been a significant ninja clan since pretty much their inception. The Uzumaki are masters of fuinjutsu, having created a vast majority of versatile and powerful fuinjutsu seals, styles, and techniques, of which they were glad to share the more domestic of which to their allies, in order to both form stronger bonds by improving their average standard of living, but also in order to gain new perspectives on the art and science of fuinjutsu and the nature of chakra itself. THe seals that they kept for themselves were those to dangerous to be spread about the world without caution, capable of great wonders, but also equal horrors if placed in the wrong hands. While now few in number due to the assault of a mysterious group of shinobi, those who remain still hold a great amount of pride for their clan's history and continue to practice the art, while also making sure to strengthen their fighting strength so that such an event never happens again.[/color][/indent] [b]PERSONAL HISTORY[/b] [indent][color=gray]Kiyoshi's early life, before the blood and horror that brought the end to so many of his kin, was one lived within the halls of the main clan compound, never quite enjoying the pursuits that other young children pursued at his age. Ever since he could walk, it was easy to notice that he was different then other children. Where others were loud and demanding, he was quiet and contemplative, always watching those around him with an eerie comprehension, an intelligence far beyond his years hiding behind those eyes. When he started his schooling within the clan, however, was when the truest extent of his gifted mind was shown, as he quickly picked up on how to write, followed shortly by speech and reading, his mind able to form rather complex chains of thought for one of his age. Around the age of 6, however, is when his talents emerged, as he found himself reading a book on the subject one day. After only about a few weeks of study, he began to draw several perfect recreations of the simple seals within that, when tested, worked flawlessly in their deigned functions. While Uzumaki are known for their talent in the sealing arts, the elders knew that Kiyoshi was more than just talented, and were quickly writing up plans for the boy to receive private tutors so as to better harness and develop his growing intellect. Unfortunately, the chance to do so never came for soon afterwards, the Night of Bloody Tides occurred, filling the halls of the Uzushiogakure red with the blood of Kiyoshi's clan members. That night, Kiyoshi saw many of his clansmen cut down before his eyes, including both his father and brother. As the day dawned and the shinobi were driven of, Kiyoshi felt a swell of emotion fill him as his mother clung to him, as if his veins had been filled with lead. For months after the event, Kiyoshi had nightmares of that night, each time feeling nothing but helplessness as he sat by and watched each death occur, and just when he's about to join them, he is saved. And then the feeling gets worse. So many had died that day, and yet he had survived, It felt wrong for him to live his life when his father had been so ruthlessly cut down, when his brother was lying buried under the earth, when so many of his clan were no longer able to. Unable to properly handle these emotions, Kiyoshi shut himself off from the world, focusing on the one thing that kept his head clear, that gave him something else to thing about. In the year of self-imposed solitude, Kiyoshi greatly incrased his fuinjutsu skills and, in the process, also seemed to lock away the worst of his fears, giving off the illusion that he had gotten over the events of that night. However, in truth, he had become even more obsessed with bringing back those who had died, and knew that it was possible with fuinjutsu. He'd heard one of the elders speaking of a seal one time, a seal which bent the Shikigami itself to the users whims. If such a thing is possible, then why not a seal that can bring the dead back from the gates of hell. That, more than anything, is the motivation behind his research and attempts to collect info on various forms of fuinjutsu, ninjutsu, Iryojutsu, and other such secrets known only to secret sciences considered too taboo to ever be explored. When it comes to interactions with others, Kiyoshi can be described as a meek sort if going only by his apparent outward interactions. He doesn't talk very much to those around him, and the times he does, it's often in a soft spoken manner. In truth, Kiyoshi finds most people around him to be annoyances of some calibur. As such, those who tried to interact with him would find that he'd be hesitant and somewhat irritable if forced to spend long periods of time with others, especially amongst the 'academically challenged' in the class. Kiyoshi found any and all academic tests given to him to hardly be worth his time, able to ace any of them without ever touching the book or paying a lick of attention to whatever the teacher said. When it came to the theory and thought behind jutsu, there was no one in the class that could surpass him, a list that often includes any poor teacher that tried to trip the boy up on the subject of Academics. However, Kiyoshi is far from the perfect student in this world, for while his mental prowess is clearly on an advanced level compared to anyone around him, he often found himself struggling when putting such theories into practice. As such, his practical skills were considered to be some of the worst in the class, leading to him just barely passing the bar to become an active genin. When it comes to his home life, there really isn't much to say. He tries his best not to be a burden to his mother, but also doesn't spend much time with her. Often when he comes home, he immediately goes into his room to shut out the world, working on his ideas and plans for future Fuinjutsu designs, completely focused on the ideal of further enhancing his skills in the field for his grand ambition. However, knowing that the seal he wished to make is a long way off, he doesn't mind branching off from time to time in order to work on interesting side-projects to improve the lives of those living in the village he now calls home, one such project being the formation of seals the perform a sort of temperature regulation within a defined space, enabling for people to better keep their homes warm during the cold winters or find a place of refugee during the hot nights. However, he's yet to perfect the control of the system, nor a properly efficient way to power such a system on a constant basis.[/color][/indent] [b]INFLUENCE & RELATIONS[/b] [indent][color=gray] [hider=Family] Uzumaki Yoshito | Father | Deceased Senju Midori | Mother | 39, Chunin, Academy Instructor Uzumaki Atsuko | Sister | 20, Jonin/Missing-nin Uzumaki Idarana | Brother | Deceased Uzumaki Sanosuke | Uncle | Deceased Senju Madarame | Uncle | jonin Senju Hotsuma | Uncle | 26, Jonin [/hider] [hider=Relations] [h1][̲̅r̲̅][̲̅e̲̅][̲̅l̲̅][̲̅a̲̅][̲̅t̲̅][̲̅i̲̅][̲̅o̲̅][̲̅n̲̅][̲̅s̲̅][/h1] Namikaze Fukushu:[color=NavajoWhite]"She's alright, I guess.

Kiyoshi's Uzumaki blood makes him surprisingly resilient in terms of taking damage, able to to keep on kicking long past when someone of his physicality should be able to. He also possess rather large reserves as well, though his lack of of Jutsu sees that goes mostly wasted for the moment. Kiyoshi's mind works differently then most. Instead of a big mess of thoughts, it's organized into separate streams of consciousness, enabling to essentially keep perfect attention to multiple things at once, such as running through five math problems in his head, or holding a conversation with someone while concurrently thinking about a sealing matrix test and all the intricacies involved in the process. This makes him a master of multi-tasking and keeping his attention on multiple things at once. It also has a combat function of allowing him to keep a decent amount of attention on multiple threats at one time without sacrificing his ability to react to any or all of them at any time.[/color][/indent] [b]FOCUS & SKILLS[/b] [indent][color=gray]Kiyoshi is a mid-to-long range support fighter and will often try his best to keep out of the thick of the fighting as best as he can. His main form of fighting is through his archery skills, the only physical skill that he's shown any form of skill at. His marksmanship with a bow is rather good, and his practice with it has given him a suitable level of upper body strength, though his skill in that art of Taijutsu is not that good. Along with his arrows, Kiyoshi has also formed a few special kinds of seals in order to keep himself from being a completel sitting duck if got unawares by an opponent.[/color][/indent] [b]EQUIPMENT & INVENTORY[/b] [indent][color=gray][list] [*][hider=Archery stuff] Weapon name Activator Bow Weapon, tool, or object type A longbow with a special seal applied to it Description This durable wooden bow is one of several that Kiyoshi has on hand with storage seals, up to 3 on his person at any time, and is able to hit almost any target he can see with them. Along the middle of the bow, where the arrows are drawn, their is an activator seal, which Kiyoshi uses instead of handsigns in order to activate the seals he places on his arrows. This allows him to continue firing without stop, as the seal activates on a timer. This timer is determined by how long the shot is held against the activator, the longer the wait the longer it's held. Weapon name Seal Arrows and Regular Arrows Weapon, tool, or object type Arrows that have special seals attached to them for added effects Description In order to make the best of his skills, Shizuku has made a variety of special arrows, usually about 15 or so of each if he's had time to properly prep, which are each placed within their own respective storage seals. Also, can only hold about three types at any time, not including just regular arrows, other wise it gets too confusing to keep track of which seal hold which type of arrow. His current total list include: Explosive Arrows: These arrows hold the power of 2 explosive tags, with the only tell-tale sign of the explosion being the sight of the shaft giving off small trails of smoke before it blows up. Smoke Arrows: Simple and to the point, after a set amount of time or after it's made impact, the seal will spew forth a copious amount of thick black ash-laden smoke. It spreads quickly, encompassing an area of around 5-10 meters, and lingers for about 2-3 posts in an open area, and double that within an enclosed space before it disperses. Wind style jutsu can be used to instantly disperse it or redirect it somewhere else. This smoke is also highly combustible, allowing for lightning and Fire jutsu to easily light it up for a pretty big explosion.[/hider] [*]A set of regular explosive seals.
