[quote=@Spanner] [@Buddha] Since I've been craving for a Naruto RP since a while ago and you're searching for players, I could as well submit a character that I've been wanting to use since a while ago.

He is mostly recognized as an individual that shouldn't be messed up with yet can't be taken seriously, being overall seen as someone befitting of being called as a Wildcard. Most of Souma's [s]in[/s]fame came from either the assassination of one of the seven mist swordsmen before he was even recognized as a jounin or from the fearsome reputation he created for himself while traveling as a missing-nin [color=red][b]why would Amegakure take in a missing nin, which are known criminals?[/b][/color] - a direct result of him stopping to defy every single person that "carried a sword and looked strong" he found in his travels as a way of sharpening his skills with the sword. [color=red][b]More importantly why would they take in a dude that thought killing people at random to test his skills was a good idea?[/b][/color][/I][/INDENT][/INDENT] [CENTER]————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— [h3]Psychology & History[/h3] [sub]From detailed inspection and investigation by Black Ops and medical personnel[/sub] [I]“Do you really need to bother me right now? I was planning to sleep.”[/I][/CENTER] [INDENT]| Personal biography: | [INDENT][I]The start of the story of the young adult known as Souma is far from being uncommon or special, being shared by many others through the years since the start of the ninja era: He was an orphan. While this statement may seem a bit simple, it does resumes his youth perfectly in despite of being a simple word. He was nothing but an orphan like any other, abandoned at birth by parents that probably felt that leaving him behind would be safer - or maybe never cared for him, he couldn't know (Or care) - Souma was raised on Konoha's orphanage for most of his infancy, being regarded as an overall quiet child who hardly interacted with others or have any problem by most of his former caretakers - quite the accurate description, considering that he wasn't especially remarkable back then - but that would quickly change after his entrance in the academy. [color=red][b]Pretty standard then[/b][/color] If asked now, he'd hardly know what exactly made him such an abnormal individual, but one thing was certain: it started in the academy. He doesn't know, even today, what exactly awakened his instincts in that place, but he know for certain that it happened in an instant: The quiet kid that he was back then instantly changed into one of the most promising future ninjas and undoubtedly the most troublesome one, being regarded as mischievous, lazy, fun loving individual and, above all, ridiculously talented individual. [color=red][b]okay[/b][/color] Thinking deeply, the root of this sudden change was most certainly the person that started his training - and initiated him into the ways of a scoundrel - His foster father, Hayato Uzuki. If asked to describe him, Souma would most certainly choose the words "Carefree and Sharp", two seemingly unrelated adjectives that undoubtedly suited the man to an abnormal extent: Hayato was as much of a genius as Souma himself, being regarded as the strongest sword user in the whole village before he even reached his thirties - a man that loved the sword as much as he loved fun and imparted the same values in the youth that he loved as a son. With all of that being said, it's hard to understand how Souma, that earned such a good life, managed to turn into an fool that rushed to join a war torn country before he even managed to get his first girlfriend - an understandable doubt that will be erased by the events that followed the quiet period of the boy's life. It all started to crumble when he received the worst notice of his life at the age of 15 - six months before his chunnin exam: His father, Hayato Uzuki, had died by the hands of a member of Kirigakure's Seven Swordsmen, assassinated without a chance to react due to a stupid grudge held by the young swordsman. The worst part? He wasn't caught. Due to the alliance made between Konohagakure and Kirigakure, the wielder of the sewing needle was forgiven with just minor punishments for the sake of "not damaging the allied military forced even more". No need to say that, to the boy that only had Hayato as family from the very start, this was the highest treason possible. [color=red][b]Kirigakure and Konohagakure are not allied in this AU, in fact they're at war when the IC starts[/b][/color] For the next month, the carefree smile that was often seen in the boy's face completely vanished, giving place to a gloomy expression and even gloomier attitude. This quickly changed in the following two months tough, as the boy gradually returned to his former self with some small changes: His eyes had a sharp gleam now, and his carefree smile gave a predatorial feel that only intensified with the passage of the months. By the time of his chunnin exam - that happened in conjunction with the hidden mist village as a way of sealing the treaty - the boy had already changed into a different yet similar person: The sheath that once covered his true self - his "blade" - was now a thing in the past. The first stages were so ridiculously easy for the boy that they almost felt like a joke. It was more than clear for him that, had they been in war times, he could already be a jounin with his level of proficiency, but at the moment it didn't matter. His only priority was getting the right spot in the finals - something that was easily done through having contact with one of the responsibles for the event. His target? It was obviously the mist swordsman's kid, a fairly talented boy around his age that the killer of his father regarded as being even more important than his own life. It isn't hard to predict what happened next: Souma toyed with the boy to an unbelievable extent without even revealing his Kekkei Genkai, trapping the spawn of his enemy in a way reminiscent of a cat playing with the rat held under his paws until the father of the poor mice couldn't hold back his anger anymore, stepping into the arena to stop the fight. The result? He finally used his Kekkei Genkai - something that he discovered months ago but never had the opportunity to show to anyone, as he was waiting for his foster father to return home before making the reveal - taking the unsuspecting swordsman by surprise and, consequently, managing to behead the man in front of his son before he could react to his attack with a smile in his face - for the first time in the last six months, he truly felt alive. [color=red][b]This is even more reason for Amegakure to never take him in, since he's unpredictable and apparently keen on murdering superiors. It doesn't really make any sense[/b][/color] Of course the story couldn't end like this, and he was captured by the Shinobi of his village and escorted to face judgement for his sins - a laughable display of fake righteousness orchestrated by the same guys that forgave the man who killed his father. That being said, this specific judgement never happened: the boy managed to escape by making use of a thin blade hidden under his skin, killing the guards in the process and being put into the bingo book as an A Rank criminal. [color=red][b]More reason not to take him in[/b][/color] For the following 5 years, Souma lived as a wanderer - using his status as a wanted criminal by the authorities of the two hidden villages to easily enter into the territories of their enemies as he traveled the world, using his time solely to collect new techniques of handling the sword while having fun in the process until 2 years ago, when a woman who called himself as the shadow of the rain (Amekage) stopped him, praising his skills and requesting him to join her [color=red][b]So the Amekage, right after her inauguration into the position of power, decided that the best way to cement her rulership was to take a known A rank criminal, who had killed both shinobi of his own village as well as shinobi from other villages in peacetime?[/b][/color] - request to which he replied with an answer befitting of his personality: "Sure, if you manage to beat me I can do that." And an extra comment that would bring pride to his foster father: "But if I win, you're going to be my wife". The result? He's still single and is now one of Amegakure's jounin. [/I][/INDENT] | Family biography: | [INDENT][I]Being an abandoned orphan, Souma never had - and never had any special desire to - the opportunity of meeting his parents. His foster father, however, was a member of the Uzuki family, a family known for their attainments in the use of the Konoha-Ryu, and naturally had some blood ties that still live in Konoha - Albeit none that Souma cared about enough to meet after leaving the village.[/I][/INDENT] | Family ties: | [INDENT] [I][I]Hayato Uzuki | Foster Parent | 32 by the time of his death, Konohagakure, Former Shinobi and the man responsible for Souma's love for the way of the sword.[/I][/I] [/INDENT] | Dreams and fears: | [INDENT][I]Souma isn't the kind of guy to think deeply about the future, having the sole objective of enjoying his life while continuously enhancing his sword style. His biggest fear is being sealed or imprisoned mainly due to the implication having to stay alive without any opportunity of having fun.[/I][/INDENT][/INDENT] [CENTER]————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— [h3]Combat Reports[/h3] [sub]From detailed reports from previous missions and academy sparring matches[/sub] [I]“My speciality is cutting people until they stop moving. I can also cut animals and things though”[/I][/CENTER] [INDENT]| Fighting style: | [INDENT][I]Souma's fighting style is fairly direct, being mainly reliant on directly fighting the enemy at close range through the mixed use of his sword arts and Kekkei Genkai, overpowering anyone in his way through the use of a mix of his excessive speed and his masterful handling of swords. At long range, he mainly relies on the few long distance techniques he knows and shurikenjutsu to distract the attention of his foes and force them out of their hiding spots, giving him the opportunity of getting close to them and finishing the fight through the use of his sword.[/I][/INDENT] | Kekkei genkai - bloodline limit: | [INDENT][U]Kekkei genkai name[/U] [INDENT]Jinton - Speed[/INDENT] [U]Description[/U] [INDENT]Swift Release is a combined nature transformation kekkei genkai that can be used to move with instantaneous speed [color=red][b]so like body flicker technique? There's a reason I banned body flicker technique for combat so...[/b][/color], granting the user an advantage over opponents with more strength than speed, such as users of Chakra Enhanced Strength. This nature therefore renders the user invulnerable against most taijutsu. It is unknown what elements this nature entails. This Kekkei Genkai mostly acts as a supplementary skill for Souma's use of Kenjutsu - field that he appears to favour to an abnormal extent. [color=red][b]If he favors it to an abnormal extent then would he have time left to learn and practice ninjutsu?[/b][/color][/INDENT] [U]Strengths[/U] [INDENT]Souma mostly uses this Kekkei Genkai in conjunction to his sword techniques, giving him the opportunity of easily overpowering his enemies ay a close distance due to the absurd speed provided by it.[/INDENT] [U]Weaknesses[/U] [INDENT]Being only capable of short bursts of speed and failing to provide any form of long distance capacity, this Kekkei Genkai can be easily overpowered through the use of attrition tactics and long-range combat.

The main disadvantage of this technique is that it puts strain in the user's arms, being unfit for being used without restraint.[/INDENT][/INDENT] [/hider] | Weapons: | [hider=Violent Moon] [INDENT][U]Weapon name[/U] [INDENT]Violent Moon[/INDENT] [U]Weapon, tool, or object type[/U] [INDENT]Sword/Katana[/INDENT] [U]Description[/U] [INDENT]A simple looking Katana with an equally simple pitch black sheath, the only special characteristic of this weapon is it abnormal sharpness: A result of Souma's excessive use of chakra augmentation, that ended up permanently infusing the sharpness characteristic of his wind release into the blade.[/INDENT][/INDENT] [/hider][/INDENT] [/hider] [color=red][b]Please take a look at my criticism/review.
