[hider=Nai Hanashi, the Scarecrow] [CENTER][h2]Nai Hanashi, the Scarecrow[/h2] [img]http://i.imgur.com/QRXICGI.png[/IMG] [i]Even the loudest of thoughts need not sound to convey.[/i] [b]Age:[/b] 15 [b]Rank:[/b] D [b]Village Affiliation:[/b] Kirigakure [/CENTER] [h2]Personal Information[/h2] [hider=Personal Info] [b]Appearance:[/b] Nai is a boy of relatively lithe build, with a general gaunt look about him. His eyes flutter about, hawk-like in nature at a solid dark, nearing the void-like black of his pupils. They often have a tired, sleepless look about them. A mostly messy mop of off-white hair sits upon his tall head, parting mostly off to the left side, occasionally obscuring an eye when not brushed out of the way. However, the most glaring feature of the boy would easily be the odd deformity of his mouth. As if his jaw were locked in place most of his life, this is confirmed by the fact that his mouth is sown-shut with thick, white stands that restrict major movement, of what could hardly be called thread, that enter just above and below the lips. [b]Personality:[/b] Like some of the secretive and sequestered village that Nai was born into, he holds a very warped perspective of the world around him, truly believing that all is for his land, his brethren. Adhering to the doctrines, words, and values instilled within even at a young age. However, below the deeply indoctrinated vile surface of the boy, lies a genuine heart that still lives, breathes, contains feelings untainted. Such as his unyielding curiosity and naivety about a world in which he had never been a part of, this often intersects, overcoming his drilled in ways. And yet, Nai would never stray from the laws of his land, nor betray even the most minor of secrets under pain of death. He could be described as innocent to a fault. The boy is enthusiastic about nearly everything, and perhaps he must be in order to communicate more effectively through his gestures, for he cannot speak. Or perhaps he chooses not to, or has possibly forgotten the ability after going through the detestable conditioning of his youth. Even over all of that, Nai remains exceedingly cheerful, rare it is to seem him without a smile upon his face, threads tugging at his flesh all the while. Nai seems to have a particularly incredible amount of masochism, in which the boy derives intense pleasure, perhaps even arousal when experiencing such pain. [b]History:[/b] Originally, the Hanashi clan, identifiable by their often pale hues of hair and flesh, built their nest for several generations within Amegakure, and grasped for even the slightest modicum of power. As a family they were seen as the devious and deceitful sort, so long as it advanced their own position within the land. Countless ages of political strife between their own house and many others within the hidden village led them to create innumerable enemies and scant few allies. This, coupled with their dishonorable nature did little to shield from the cruelties during the just as uncountable and forgettable wars that ravaged the land, whether they be for territory or seizing yet more futile power. In order to escape the detestable life created by forefathers, rife with assassination and destruction from within, the clan partook in an act that would stain their integrity for all time, betrayal. Handing over secret intelligence underhandedly to key figures within Kirigakure for safe passage and protection within their lands. The untold price? Those current members of the family forcibly had their tongues removed, robbing them of their speech and ensuring that there would be no spillage of information again. From then on, even the children and their children's children would be taught never to utter a word, even in solitude, lest unwanted secrets leak from their speech, atop which, they are barred from any form of direct communication, including writing and sign language. This was in part done to make atonement for the sins of the fathers, however it has done little to change public opinion that the Hanashi clan cannot be easily trusted. One such boy punished for the ways of his ancestors from which he could not possibly know the reasoning behind, was Nai. Originally defiant in adhering to strange doctrines and mannerisms that which other children were entirely without, his opinions were swayed rather forcible by the needed [i]'conditioning'[/i] that unruly Hanashi members underwent, which eventually led to thick milky threads sown lip to lip, just tight enough to allow minor movement of the mouth. Thus, the boy would become yet another tool in the hands of their masters. Unfit to grasp any form of control or power within his own hands. Unfit to lead life by their own decisions, lest they betray their mother yet again.

Hiding oneself within the very earth while making countless attacks from blind-spots.

Through the use of this technique, one may alter the flight pattern of such tools, extend their flight distance, or otherwise manipulate their movements for more precise and perhaps creative use.

This interferes with the victim's senses, causing the area affected to become overwhelmed to the feeling of dull and pulsing pain aimed to minorly debilitate through many uses. This can be broken through severing the thread, removing the senbon, or through willpower alone perhaps. [b]Name:[/b] Ameribingu [b]Type:[/b] Supplementary Ninjutsu [b]Rank:[/b] C [b]Range:[/b] Medium to long distance [b]Hand Signs:[/b] Three [b]Description:[/b] The boy takes in a single deep breath, inhaling and kneading even dry air with chakra, for which the gestation period is rather short, before being released from the mouth into the sky above. From which pearly clouds form, looming on high. These clouds release rainfall until they are spent. Forming puddles and allowing water vapor to linger within dry climates. [b]Name:[/b] Renzo no teido [b]Type:[/b] Supplementary Ninjutsu [b]Rank:[/b] C [b]Range:[/b] N/A [b]Hand Signs:[/b] Six [b]Description:[/b] After preforming the appropriate hand signs, Nai brings a single hand to an eye. The index finger connecting to the thumb at the tips, a thin film of chakra is spread between the opening left over. This allows whatever vision passing through it to be magnified telescopically in a distance proportional to the amount of chakra poured in. This technique aids in long range tracking or for more precise distant shots. [/hider][/hider] [/hider] Alrighty! I really do hope everything is in order. I look forward to hearing all about my mistakes and where I went wrong and how much it was a total waste of time!
