[b]Scars and markings:[/b] Several, both big and small. One does not survive a ninja war without earning some. Most notorious are The coward’s mark - A big slash that goes across Mikio’s back from his right shoulder to his left hip. Burned hand - Mikio’s left hand sustained second degree burns during the war and is covered in scar tissue. Still usable though. Pin marks - Once Mikio found himself pinned to a big tree by a spear, it left an almost perfectly round red mark on his chest, just below the shoulder. [b]Clothing:[/b] Mikio's clothing are all white or black. As opposed to many ninjas he doesn't wear sandals, and prefers a sturdy pair of black boots instead. His pants reach halfway down his chins and are white. On the top half he wears a black, long-sleeved shirt, over that is a short-sleeved white closed vest. Even over that he wears a black coat long enough to cover his pants. The village's hitai-ate is worn across his forehead like it's supposed to. He also wears a white glove on his left hand to cover the scars. -====- [b][u]Biography[/u][/b] [b]Background:[/b] Mikio was born a third of a century ago to one of the villages many, many prostitutes. His mother was never what you would call nurturing and as soon as possible young Mikio was handed over to the village's already overflowing orphanage. He still doesn't know who his mother is, and considering her occupation he sincerely doubts that even she knows his real father. Mikio's earliest memories are from the orphanage, literally being surrounded by kids of all ages, and not enough adults to keep them busy. Like all orphanages this one suffered from under-staffing as well as an incredibly low budget. Some of the older kids showed promises as ninjas, so they could either go to what could only sarcastically be called the ninja academy or do the odd E-rank mission to get some funds for the place. As Mikio grew up he discovered his own ninja talent and after finishing the academy training joined the small army that would take every mission they could get their hands on in order to get some money. Money meant food, not just for them, but for all the kids. During his earlier years Mikio often wondered about his parents and snuck into the keeper's office more than once to try and figure out who they were. As far as he knows he was never seen, or at least no one ratted him out, everyone in there was probably as curious as he and let him try. As Mikio grew it became obvious that the orphanage was too small, and he banded together with some other ninjas and rented a small house on the outskirts of the village. Rent was almost non-existent so a lot of the money that did not go directly to food for themselves could be sent to the orphanage. Years passed, pretty uneventfully. Mikio practiced his ninja arts with his bunk mates, another reason for them to live outside of both the village and the orphanage. Then the war came. Rolling in over the village like a thunderstorm. Fire rained from the sky and metal slashed through the air right next to the innocent men, women and children of the village. Mikio fought as best he could together with his childhood friends and the other ninjas. However, even their best efforts were easily swept aside by the almost absurdly powerful ninjas of real hidden villages. In the end they could only defend themselves, try to protect the innocent or get out of the way as the more powerful jutsus were unleashed. Many of Mikio's friends died in the war, and none died like a hero, very few died with a purpose. Most simply threw their bodies at the enemy, trying to at least distract them long enough to let someone else get away, but it rarely worked. The day the walls came up was one of the happiest in Mikio's life. It did not mean the end of the war, but at least the innocent villagers were a little bit safer. As the war wound down the village's ninjas stopped engaging in battle and fell back to simply patrol the wall, guard the entrance and protect the village. [b]Today:[/b] Today Mikio lives alone in the small house he once inhabited with a small group of friends He is one of the older ninjas that tries to teach children with talent at the school. When he isn't doing that he takes missions or stays at home to tend to his little farm. Much of his earnings from the school and missions still goes to the orphanage. Mikio remembers the war, the terror and the utter helplessness of facing a fully equipped and bloodthirsty jounin from a hidden village. Many of the children he teaches are too young to have seen the war at all, yet they talk about it as if war was a good thing. A ninja's life is war, and it is hell. [b]Personality:[/b] Mikio is an almost extremely open and kind-hearted man. He always has a smile on his face and a wink in his eye ready to go. He tells jokes and goofs off if he thinks he can get away with it, this is one of the reasons why the children likes him. He acts like a kid in some ways. But has shown to those around him that he can be respectable and responsible as well. On the other hand, he has nightmares. -====- [b][u]Special Traits[/u][/b] Shuriken specialist - Mikio has made shuriken-throwing into his own art and is pretty much centered around it. Not only can he throw with great precision, other skills that follows involves judging a trajectory, general eye-hand coordination and finger dexterity. Designer - Most ninjas use shuriken, but Mikio has designed almost all of his from scratch. He has everything. One thing that separates his shuriken from the normal ones are that they’re not designed to pierce and stick to the target, but rather slash and bounce off. Conservation is key - Almost every technique in Mikio’s arsenal uses up resources. A shuriken thrown cannot be used a second later. Therefor he is very careful about noting where they go after he’s thrown them for easy retrieval. He also has a good mind for keeping track of how many he’s got left and how long they’ll last. Charismatic - Mikio is always smiling and laughing around people. This means that most see him as a happy fellow and he’s pretty well-liked in the village for it. -====- [b][u]Equipment[/u][/b] Standard ninja equipment, leg pouch, an assortment of ninja wire, kunai and regular shuriken. Six regular sized summoning scrolls containing almost every conceivable design of shuriken. [hider=Scroll content] Scroll 1 & 2: Regular sized, normal shuriken. Roughly equivalent to ninja standard. Scroll 3 & 4: Special shuriken. Here we find shuriken with special properties. Shuriken with holes that “whistle” as they fly. Shuriken with grooves that can carry poison. Hollow shuriken or shuriken with a dense core that flies at a different speed. Shuriken with slightly bent prongs that can maneuver in a certain way. You name it, he’s probably got it. Scroll 5: Abnormal shuriken - The big ones, these hit the opponent with the same force as a sword would. Due to their size not as many can be carried in a scroll. Scroll 6: Lost and found - A collection of shuriken that Mikio will use on special occasions. These are either failed experiments of his or shuriken left behind by someone else. Waste not, want not.[/hider] A healthy supply of exploding tags A regular, straight single-bladed sword carried on his back. -====- [b][u]Jutsu:[/u][/b] [b]Ninjutsu:[/b] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Summoning_Technique] Kuchiyose no justu / Summoning technique[/url] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Fire_Release:_Fire_Dragon_Bullet] Katon: Karyuudan / Fire Release: Fire Dragon Bullet[/url] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Fire_Release:_Great_Fireball_Technique] Katon: Goukakyuu no jutsu / Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique[/url] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Fire_Release:_Phoenix_Sage_Fire_Technique] Katon: Housenka no jutsu / Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique[/url] [b]Shurikenjutsu:[/b] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Shadow_Shuriken_Technique] Kage shuriken no jutsu / Shadow Shuriken Technique[/url] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Manipulated_Shuriken_Technique] Soushuriken no jutsu / Manipulated Shuriken Technique[/url] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Multiple_Phantom_Shuriken] Gen’ei shuriken / Phantom Shuriken[/url] [b]Custom jutsu:[/b] [hider=Dance of the first blade] [u]Name:[/u] Dance of the first blade [u]Classification[/u] Kenjutsu [u]Rank:[/u] D [u]Effect:[/u] ([url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Dance_of_the_Crescent_Moon]Literally this but with ordinary clones[/url]) The user creates two regular clones before proceeding to assault the enemy, with the clones attacking from two angles the user attacking from a third. The opponent will be hard-pressed to defend against all three simultaneously. [u]Drawback:[/u] Only one attack is actually able to harm the opponent and if the opponent can see though the technique it is not hard to counter. [/hider] [hider=Invisible sword assault] [u]Name:[/u] Invisible sword assault [u]Classification[/u] Shurikenjutsu [u]Rank:[/u] C [u]Effect:[/u] Originally developed for assaulting people inside houses from the outside, the user uses super-fast movement to jump between possible assault angles (windows). At each jump one or more shuriken are thrown at the target. The user always tries to use the target's blind spot as the next place to launch an attack from. In a best case scenario the user is able to attack from two directions almost simultaneously and make use of the opponent's blind spot. The user can potentially keep up the assault for as long as there are shuriken available. [u]Drawback:[/u] This technique relies heavily on the element of surprise, once it has been seen through it should be easy to defend against or avoid. [/hider] [hider=Rain of hellfire] [u]Name:[/u] Rain of hellfire [u]Classification[/u] Shurikenjutsu [u]Rank:[/u] B [u]Effect:[/u] Making use of a large number of both shuriken and exploding tags, the user sends a volley straight at the enemy. The goal isn't to hit, but to completely surround the target with the exploding projectiles. In a best case scenario there is no escape. [u]Drawback:[/u] Uses a lot of resources. As the projectiles are not thrown to hit, an opponent that dodges early may evade the whole thing. [/hider] [/hider]
