Wears black pants that reaches past his knees, black, customary ninja sandals, and black, fingerless gloves featuring Konoha's village symbol on the metal guards on the back of his hands. a snarling fox mask with red and yellow markings, a gift from his sister, is tied at his hip. [b][color=00746b]Personal Information:[/color][/b] [b][color=00746b]Personality:[/color][/b] Keita is a relatively nice guy with a soft-spoken personality unless completely riled or angry (which was seen rarely). There was a maturity to him that was not seen in most children his age. Of course, being raised in a clan that looked down on childish displays could have been a part of that. Before his sister died, he was a child full of innocence and was very outspoken, but now he analyzed his actions before doing them. One couldn't guess it, but he also had a silvertongue, used mostly to get himself or his friends out of trouble. He also had a teasing quality to him that made others smile. [b][color=00746b]History:[/color][/b] Despite their name, the Ryuukaze clan was made mostly of fire users. Keita was not the firstborn heir of the Ryuukaze clan. Rather, his older sister, Amami, was destined to be the Ryuukaze head female. Usually not seen in a clan, the Ryuukaze clan judged a clan heir's children based solely on their strength and wisdom. Sadly, she was born frail and sickly (she had such little chakra and was very pale and could not stay in the sun for very long), they did not think she was likely to live for very long; she was not favorably seen as someone who could lead the clan with strength if she had none to spare. Therefore, when Keita was born, the burden was placed on his shoulders. He was taught basically everything he had to know in order to one day take over as clan head. Since he was chosen as the next heir, Amami was basically forgotten by everyone but her baby brother. Amami did everything she could to take care of him while their parents remained unaware (besides, Meta; Meta noticed everything and she did not agree with just abandoning her daughter because she was weak, but there was nothing she could do as she had been blamed for Amami's health). Amami was a role model for Keita. Despite having been practically thrown aside, she loved her brother dearly. In fact, she was the sole reason why he had not grown to hate his family. She taught him to love and forgive, and though he did not fully believe in her ideals, he didn't hate, but neither did he try his best to get close to any of his relatives besides his mother. Amami worked as hard as she could to get to her position as chuunin instructor in the Academy. She was not strong, but she was smart. She became a brilliant strategist as well as someone who had complete control of and could successfully reserve and make good use of her chakra. In fact, she created two scrolls: one that contained her chakra, chakra that she'd been storing for years, and can be used whenever necessary to restore his reserves. How she was able to do this was a mystery as there were not many seal masters who could successfully decipher the seal characters on the scrolls, but it did explain why she was always tired whenever he sought her out. The other was a complete mystery. He listened as closely as he could to everything that she told him and practiced hard with the clan's jutsu. When he couldn't completely understand or do a jutsu right, Amami was there to help him, to guide him step by step. Especially when he'd learned that not only did he have a fire affinity but wind as well. Amami taught him a little of how to use that wind chakra, but since the clan was made mostly of fire users, Amami did not know much. When he was out of line and received corporal punishment (which was a 5 lash whipping), she would come to his room and soothe his wounds with salves that she made herself. She would help him with homework; she would play with him; she would take him out to dinners as rewards for passing his tests. That's why when news of her death returned one day, Keita was devastated. He became quiet and reserved and sequestered himself to his room for days. The light of his life had been snuffed out and there was nothing Keita wanted to do with the world. He didn't eat nor did he bathe, as deep into his grieving as he was. One day, Keita emerged from the darkness of his room. He claimed that he had had a dream of his sister approaching him. She'd slapped him and said, "This isn't how I want you to live, Keita. Just because I died doesn't mean you get to use it as an excuse to become lazy. You've worked too hard to just throw it all away. Please don't let me be disappointed in you." Since then, there had been a quiet strength growing within Keita. Seeing this, Ryuusei, Keita's father, became ashamed of himself. He asked for his son's forgiveness, of which Keita was hard-pressed to give the man. As much as he had been the one to teach Keita much of what he knew, he still did nothing to refute the elder's decisions to abandon Amami and ignored a lot of her accomplishments. Still, Amami's words were clear, and Keita slowly begun to forgive the man. He was the age of 12 during then. To this day, he was still trying. Their relationship was strained at best but at least Ryuusei never used harsh words on his son again. Keita was sad that Amami was not there to see him at his graduate day, but at least he was comforted by the fact that she played a big part in his tutelage and he hadn't let her down. To this day, he doesn't know whether it was a hallucination brought up by his grief and his inner psyche not wanting to further wither in despair or his dead sister come to his dreams to snap him out of it but he was grateful.

Of course, due to her sickness, her eyes were unnaturally red, but whether this was the cause was uncertain. This trait has yet been seen in Keita, although his strange eye color is enough for a short pause. Buuuuuut, this is just conjecture. :) [b][color=00746b]Jutsu:[/color][/b] [b]Canon Jutsu:[/b] [hider=Academy Basics]Kawarimi - Body Replacement Ninjutsu, E-Rank Range: - Seals: 5. Ram, Boar, Ox, Dog, Snake. Description: User replaces their own body with some other object, generally with a block of wood, the moment an attack lands. This creates an optical illusion, making the enemy think the attack was successful. From this, the user can use the lapse in the enemy's attention to attack or flee from the battlefield. Bunshin - Clone Ninjutsu, E-Rank Range: short to mid-range Seals: 4. Tiger, Boar, Ox, Dog. Description: This technique creates intangible copies of the user. The clones are simply illusions and will dissipate when they come into contact with something. The illusions can be seen through by the Byakugan and the Sharingan. A person with normal eyes can also distinguish the clones from the original, since the clones will not disrupt the area around themselves with their movement (won't kick up dust, crush grass, etc.). Henge - Transformation Ninjutsu, E-Rank Range: - Seals: 1. Reverse Ram. Description: This jutsu allows the user to transform either themselves or another object into the appearance of another person, animal, or object. The transformation technique is considered to be among the more difficult E-ranked techniques, since it requires constant emission of chakra while mentally maintaining the form. The user would be, most likely, interacting with the environment. This puts much mental strain on an inexperienced ninja.The transformation would be dispelled when the user is injured or hit.

[b]Description:[/b] Molding chakra to the candle wax, Keita uses it to expand the amount of wax there is. For instance, a four-inch candle can make a puddle of up to 3m if molded and expanded by chakra correctly. The wax is hot and can easily burn the surface of an enemy's skin. Much like the Syrup Capture Field, the user spreads the wax on the ground but can be thrown at an opponent, causing burning and unrelenting damage and making it difficult to move due to pain. Once the wax dries, the enemy can try to break free before the user melts the wax again with another fire technique. [b]*Note:[/b] -can be easily dodged -water users can counteract the burn -a more advanced version can cause serious damage, enough to melt off skin [b][color=ed1c24]Fire Release: Dragon Flare Blitz Technique[/color][/b] [b]ninjutsu, d-rank[/b] short to mid-range [color=ed1c24][b]fire nature.[/b][/color] seals: 3, tiger, boar, ram. [b]Description:[/b] Like firecrackers, the user releases little bombs from their mouths that explodes upon contact with the ground. The flashing lights can blind the enemy for a few seconds, allowing the user escape or a surprise attack. [b]*Note:[/b] -shades can mitigate the effect -cannot be used when the ground is wet -a very loud attack that can draw attention -can be used with explosive tags under the cover of the explosive sounds [/hider] [/center] [/hider] [/center]
