Most of this is madeup of the fact that many of their members are orphans adopted from their respected villages, or children bred by said adopted orphans. A people whose origins were rooted in betrayal, they are raised to lie and cheat, and while they may pledge allegiance to their respective homes, their final loyalty stands with their family. As such, the clan is often taught at a young age to think ahead, to plan routes that will in the end help more than harm their people, if not affect them at all. Though they do not have any Kekkai Genkai to be known of, much less known at all by the populous, their line has become famous for trickery and lies. [u][b]Weight/Height:[/b][/u] 92lbs; 4'9" [u][b]Rank:[/b][/u] Genin (D Rank) [center][h3]Combat Information[/h3][/center] [u][b]Kekkei Genkai:[/b][/u] N/A [u][b]Chakra Nature:[/b][/u] Water Release [u][b]Techniques:[/b][/u] Takara has learned the standard Academy techniques, and is close to mastering [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Haze_Clone_Technique]Oboro Bunshin no Jutsu[/url] [u][b]Weapons/Tools:[/b][/u] Takara carries the standard genin tools, and like most Oukamis has above average knowledge on the usage of senbon. It is not his primary weapon of choice, however, as the Oukami has assigned him with two iron fans. The ends are sharpened tips that can be precoated with poison, hidden packs of which are hidden on his body. For emergencies sake, he carries four small knives on him, one hidden on his right leg, another on his left forearm, and two small blads that can be kicked out from either the front or back of either of his shoe soles. [u][b]Weaknesses/Strengths:[/b][/u] As can be identified by the above, Takara is very weapons-based, and all weapons involve close combat. Due to having been taken out of the Academy for a year, Takara got extra practice on the use of his weaponry, thus making him more fluid and adept at his motions. That said, the Oukami is not well known for their ninjutsu practice, thus having Takara lag behind even the younger members of the Academy. Not only that, but his frail frame is evident in comparison with other students, easily snapped in half if caught. Thankfully, Takara is quick on his feet, not to mention is getting better at sleight of hand or tricking opponents' eyes into his "disappearance". Though Takara has mastered lying as most children easily do, he still has much trouble with his deceitful movements, his strides often too wide or his breathing too loud. [center][h3]Personal Information[/h3][/center] [u][b]Personality:[/b][/u] Takara is the poster person for averageness. That is, he would be if his appearance were not so effeminate, and his size so petite. Besides that, he is easily agreeable, laughing with the crowd, and silent with them as well. His eyes and ears have been trained to pick up on social cues, so that speaking with him is easy and comfortable, to the point where he even mimicks your actions and nuances. This makes him easy to befriend, as his interests seem to always match with yours, and just when you want to introduce him to your friends, you realize too late that you never knew his name and that whatever he said was always whatever you said, but just worded differently. He's not exciteable to say the least, but is very good at faking it, and is also very good at faking solemness or respect. There's not a trace about him that reeks of untrustworthiness, his small and simple presence almost a relief to be around. Takara always smiles when he can basically, and is a generally happy kid, but it's obvious when his family is mentioned or if he's in front of them he's a bit more professional, his beautiful smiling face replaced with stoicness and calm. [u][b]Backstory:[/b][/u] [hider=Lengthy Bio]The earliest memory Takara has is being told that his name meant "treasure" while the orphanage head touched his pale skin, searching for clothes that fit him. The second earliest memory he has is how cleanly the man's hand was sliced off, a spatter of blood barely touching him. It was on that same day, at four years of age, he was adopted from the orphanage along with another girl. Both had been touched inappropriately by the man in the orphanage, and both were wary of the adults. This changed almost immediately, however, the two finding themselves enveloped in the warmth and love and kindness. A year after this, when he and his "sister" were five, the two were taken to the Basement. Needless to say, it was exciting for the two of them, as all of the shinobi that walked out from the room often walked out exhausted but even more loving than before. They wondered, much like innocent children often do, what wonders awaited them. Upon arrival, they were greeted by two other branches of Oukami children around the same age, both branches having three children each. A total of eight children found themselves locked into a steel room, barren spare a small window above the steel door, which none of them could reach due to their size. The children had fun at first, sharing their experience with the Oukami home, speaking with crude language about their past orphanages, small whispers in their sleep having bred the children to despise their lives before Oukami. After a while of sitting and laughing, however, the children grew bored and tired, calling out for food, trying to bang on the steel walls or door, some tears being shed. At this, the wave of water began from the small window, rushing too quickly to be natural, rising quickly from their ankles to their knees, and soon, their waist. The first child to go under was Takara, the water having formed into five respective clones, all of which were more water than person, one of which pulled down the blonde child underwater. Needless to say, basic instincts kicked in, and he fought and kicked, his lungs burning by the time he was allowed to resurface. This happened to each child, four or five at a time, the ones above surface too busy trying to cough air back into their lungs to try and save one another. Eventually, as the water rose to their shoulders, the water clones started to ask questions, starting from, "Which Oukami cooks the best dumplings?" which eventually led up to, "Which Oukami is worth dying for." Everytime, Takara would list a few names, seeking solace in the memory of his family's warmth until eventually the answer lead up to, "Everyone," every time. Every child answered as such, and after what seemed like forever and one resucitation, Takara found the room drained with the opening of the door, the children walking out single file to leave the basement. So oxygen deprived and water-shocked were the children that they barely recognized that though a band of eight walked in, only seven walked out. Upon leaving the basement, Takara and the others understood finally why everyone was so much kinder- it was a relief to find warm and familiar faces than that of the unnamed strangers, Takara even shedding a few tears of relief as his adoptive mother cooed and toweled him down. Training continued in this way, and when Takara was eight, he and his "sister" were given their weapons, his being his adoptive mother's twin fans. His training in the Basement began to be more extensive, forced to read through scrolls as he practiced with senbon, as well as the open and closed forms of his fans. Each reading forced him into more detail about acupuncture and sensitive points in the human body, Takara's small body being pushed as he was forced to put more effort in pressing the heavy fans. The stranger that trained him in the Basement changed every time so that he didn't get too comfortable with one, each of their torture regimens varying in levels of pain. By chance, when Takara was eleven, he had to take his sister's place for one man especially enthusiastic about punishments, stating that for every miss of pressure point or mistake in his form, he would have a needle struck into one of his pressure points, to send inside him pain. Takara got much better at handling the heavy fans after that. This entire time, Takara had been attending school as a normal student, along with other kids his age. When he was twelve, however, the year he was supposed to graduate, he suddenly dropped out from the Academy. The reasoning was, with his schooling, Basement trainings became more refocused on loyalty. As his fingers were broken, he was asked personal questions, no more about cooking and more about if this relative had done shady things, or if that relative was doing another thing. They were all truths that Takara had learned to deny or agree, his mind being melded to find a way to cause the least damage to his family. He learned this lesson after his first mistake, admitting that he had in fact seen dubious documents in his auntie's room, to which the punnishment was the breaking of his forearm. So severe was it that Takara passed out from pain, awaking to a crying and worried woman- the very aunt he had outed. Regret immediately washed over Takara that he didn't even mind the fact that he wound up dropping out the rest of the Academy school year in order to continue his loyalty training, the rest of his time spent with his aunt to apologize for betraying her. Takara returned to the Academy the following year, and though he was evidently the oldest, years of torture training affecting his growth to the point where his size was similar to the others. At the moment his loyalty training has started to lighten up, and has started to focus more on poison and getting himself used to his own brand so that he doesn't accidentally kill himself with the wrong swipe of a fan. As of now, Takara will still vomit at the accidental intake of his poison, which is a better substitute than straight up slowly dying.[/hider] [u][b]Allies:[/b][/u] His loyalty will always stand with the Oukami clan, but will also become an ally to any who ask of it. It is more whimsical, his allegiance with others, able to turn on you in mere seconds after finishing a deal. He is more likely to be loyal if he's made to sign an actual agreement instead of just saying it out loud. [u][b]Enemies:[/b][/u] Anyone against his allies. [u][b]Other:[/b][/u] Though his bones have been fully rehealed, there was a stint in the process and one of his legs are slightly shorter than the other. It's not enough to truly affect him, but has required retraining in sneaking around.[/hider]
