Uzumaki Ren.

[b]P E R S O N A L I T Y[/b]
Ren is a courageous and compassionate soul, quick to try diplomacy first but also just as quick to resolve things with violence. He despises war yet knows that the best way to deter conflict is to have an edge over one's enemies, or alternatively, convert them to friends by defeating them [i]and[/i] being magnanimous in victory to those who would accept it. Generous to everyone with his time and resources, Ren is nevertheless torn between the humble goal of serving Konoha with his friends (and maybe a boyfriend or girlfriend), or pursuing what he sees as a noble goal: Peace between the Hidden Villages and the various countries of the world.

Or should he just retire once he was old and had enough savings and take up farming?

Born to refugees from Uzu, Ren was destined for the Ninja life from an early age. His parents loved him, but also placed expectations on him, expectations he mistook for what he himself wanted. But as he joined the Academy, Ren felt something empty inside him, something that could not be filled with food, training, and even books - Both fiction and nonfiction. All he knew was that despite his generosity winning him friends, his willingness to protect people from bullies giving him a place in classroom politics, that there was just a void inside him that was just on the verge of being filled, but was not.

Then one day, he realized that he liked another boy from his class. Then twenty-four hours later, that boy was tricked into helping a would-be defector steal a scroll from Konoha to start another war, and vanished; he would later learn that the other kid was dead, tortured and summarily executed as he begged for his life. But Ren didn't blame Konohagure for this; not yet. No, what he blamed was the power-hunger of the other villages and some of Konoha's own people. Even then, he believed that the Will of Fire was the best way of life for himself. Even then, he didn't dare dream for a shortcut to peace.

What he did dream of, however, was finding friends and another boy (or girl) and having as quiet a life as a shinobi can have...

Wind and Water.

Crane Summoning Jutsu - When given the chance to choose a Summoned Beast to contract, Ren chose the elegant and graceful crane birds as his contractors; with his blood and a scroll, Ren can summon up to a half-dozen Cranes that can fly, use medical jutsu, and taijutsu, allowing him a versatile range of skillsets.

Fuinjutsu/Sealing Techniques - Ren is good at the family trade of Sealing; able to create seals, modify and repair them, and even break them. He is proficient enough that if political circumstances permit it, he can undo the Hyuga Family's 'Caged Bird Seal' with minimal effort.

Wind Release Jutsu - Can create and control gale-force gusts of wind.

Water Release Jutsu - Can act as his own water cannon by creating sprays and globes of water, as well as control existing water sources.

Normal Ninja Package - Every basic Ninja ability that Ren should know, including kunai throwing, basic taijutsu, basic first aid and medical jutsu, substitution techniques and transformation jutsu, is included here.
