Tossing my first character into the fray.

Physically and emotionally. A staunch believer in moral rigidness, he's a stickler for the rules as well. Often enforcing a strict belief onto anybody and everything. Though in rare cases, when he's aware of another shinobi's power, or ability to protect themselves, he's more than capable of allowing the rules to bend, but never break. Doesn't help that he was like this as a kid too. Kurin's strict-ness also messes with his home life, as he follows a strict regiment of his own on personal hygiene. Makes sense when you consider that among his peers he was also class president. Outside of this stern life style, Kurin is rather relaxed. He tends to listen to music, and often sits to debate cases of morality and rules with others. In this regard he is the pillar of his group, often acting as a stern but fair justice. He rarely picks sides on a debate, acting as mediator. [b]Village:[/b] Konoha [b]History/Background:[/b] One may argue that duty comes thrust upon the young too early. One may also argue that such a fate was thrust onto Kurin Senju. The young boy was only a week old when his family home was burned down. He doesn't even have faces to put to names for his parents. Instead, a young boy grew up in the care of his grandfather and grandmother. Two of the leaf villages oldest council members. The wise grand ones. Grandmother Haha, and Grandfather Otosan. Without a mother and father, and with his grandparents often away on business, the young Kurin had to grow up on his own. He was his teacher, his own sibling, and his own parents. Often times it could be hard to tell if he was even a child, instead enforcing rules where he went. And yet, for all who asked him "Why don't you go play with the others?" Kurin always replied "Somebody has to make sure they're all safe by the end of the day." So, alongside many others, Kurin became a Genin. Amongst his peers he was well loved. Stern, but well loved. That hard driven student who helped others when they struggled. Not a single student could say that Kurin wasn't there for them in their moments of need. And he was chosen to represent his grade even when they split up into Squads. Team 1. Kurin found a click in his genin work. Often taking lead of the other genin, often strategizing as needed. His own techniques developing in the defense of others. It wasn't long before the chunnin exams came that year. The decision from his sensei was to send the team out to take on the challenges, even against more experienced shinobi. And in the first year, Kurin worked with his fellow shinobi, and led his squad, and several others by example. Taking on greater missions, and excelling as needed. Kurin turned down an early promotion to Jonin in order to remain and help the others in his squad to fulfill their own potential. ----------------------------------------------------------- [b]Tools:[/b] - Kunai, Shuriken, Explosive Tags, Fuma Shuriken, Wire Strings, Several Scrolls, Makibishi, Flash Bombs, [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Eye_Scope]Eye Scope[/url] and several Radios.

He's able to withstand a great deal of punishment without being knocked back. Guess being built like a brick shit house helps. [i]- Burns[/i] His body is afflicted with a multitude of burns, some more threatening than others. As a Senju, a cut to his vitality is far more significant, with 10% of it even hurting his ability to fully use Mokuton. He will not last as long as he normally would in a fight, even if marginal. ----------------------------------------------------------- [u][b]Jutsu[/b][/u] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Wood_Release:_Nativity_of_a_Sea_of_Trees]Wood Release Nativity of a Sea of Trees[/url] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Wood_Release:_Great_Forest_Technique]Wood Release: Great Forest Technique[/url] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Wood_Release:_Wood_Locking_Wall]Wood Release: Wood Locking Wall[/url] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Wood_Release:_World_of_Trees_Wall]Wood Release: World of Tress Wall[/url] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Wood_Release:_Cutting_Technique]Wood Release: Cutting Technique[/url] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Earth_Release:_Earth_Flow_Spears]Earth Release: Earth Flow Spears[/url] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Earth_Release%3A_Golem_Technique]EArth Release: Golem Technique[/url] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Rock_Armour]Rock Armor[/url] [b]Name:[/b] (Uddorirīsu: Ne no senshingu bōgai) Wood Release: Root Sensing Disturbances [b]Rank:[/b] C [b]Range:[/b] Anywhere as long as he's connected by tree roots [b]Nature:[/b] Wood [b]Type:[/b] Sensory [b]Effect:[/b] When in close proximity to trees, or plants, Kurin connects his senses to the root system of it, and any nearby foliage. This allows him complete sensory connection to an entire forest if he needs too. The use of this technique is to track down escaped criminals, or to maintain focus on an opponent in combat. [b]Weakness:[/b] Doesn't work in deserts or anyplace that doesn't have plants. [b]Name:[/b] (Uddorirīsu: Hōshi tsuiseki gijutsu) Wood Release: Spore Tracking Technique [b]Rank:[/b] C [b]Range:[/b] N/A [b]Nature:[/b] Wood [b]Type:[/b] Sensory [b]Effect:[/b] Kurin can release spores from either his body, or the bodies of nearby plants. This technique releases a spore that clings to those around him. Using this technique, he can track anybody carrying a spore, no matter where they are. Extreme temperatures can make it difficult for the spores to survive, making it difficult to track. [b]Weakness:[/b] A really good bath. [b]Name:[/b] (Uddorirīsu: Dense Spore Technique) Wood Release: Dense Spore Technique [b]Rank:[/b] C [b]Range:[/b] N/A [b]Nature:[/b] Wood [b]Type:[/b] Ninjutsu [b]Effect:[/b] Kurin releases spores either from his body or the bodies of nearby plants. Upon contact with others, the spores begin to grow. Becoming heavy and dense. This can be used to grow excessively and subdue attackers or opponents in a peaceful manner. Leaving only a terrible rash when the dense spores are removed. The spores are vulnerable to extreme temperature changes, making it difficult to grow, or kills the plants. [b]Name:[/b] Mokuton: Grudge Bark [b]Rank:[/b] C [b]Range:[/b] All [b]Nature:[/b] Mokuton [b]Type:[/b] Ninjutsu - Offensive - Defensive [b]Effect:[/b] With a hand seal, one is capable of calling upon the Dajian's ability to assimilate and mould earth to strength the plant life conjured from the Mokuton. The wood will adopted a darker brown. It gains a stronger resilience to flames and prevents it from rapidly spreading. Mokuton given this extra level of chakra will be able to resist extreme heat and even have an easier time pushing through metal surfaces. Weakness: Costs more chakra, and will even matter to a Senju if application of this jutsu become a general thing. Raiton also becomes more deadly as a result, with the earth affinity becoming pre-dominant. ====================================================== [/hider]
