Originally they hailed from a small village that, at the time of its inception, was roughly 150km west of Konoha. It wasn’t a large settlement. This village rested by a beautiful lake that had a temple in the center of it. The only way of reaching it was the single rowing boat at a dock made out of wooden plates, held up by wooden poles and rope. It blossomed into most of the spring and some of the summer season. Most of its crop was comprised of rice and whole grains. Those two crops alone built more than half of the small economy it had. All of the residents, be them male, female, or child, were all part of the Hinoko Clan. This village was dubbed Kyūsoku no mura or “The Village of Resting Fire”. It got its name from the temple in the middle of the lake that had a single flame always lit. The Hinoko Clan were(maybe are) a highly-religious clan. As residents of Kyūsoku no mura, they all believed that their good fortune was from the generosity of an ancient spirit known as Onibi. They all believe that, due to the lack of fires in their village, which would be harmful to their crops, they worshiped the Onibi, fearing that he would bring fire upon them in retaliation for breaking faith. Whether it was the truth or just something they needed to believe in, at each start of each season, they presented an offering to the spirit: a pound of their crops. Mysteriously enough, when they would go to recollect the barrels that had said crops in it, they found it empty. This cemented their belief that they were granted good fortune at the charity of the Onibi. As the seasons changed and the years went by, Kyūsoku no mura expanded. Once they were a village of barely five individual huts, now they had twenty. They had a small fighting force that was outsourced to smaller villages as protection(for a price, of course). They no longer needed to rely solely on merchants and other venues of trading to bring in money. They had their own fighting force, which brought in more money than any pound of rice or grain ever did. In the process, they skipped out on several offerings to their once-worshipped spirit. Sometime later, they expanded more, but this was where things went wrong. They had expanded into territories that belonged to other villages on the rise. These little skirmishes had nothing over the battles of the Great Shinobi Wars, but they had their own consequences. Dozens died over the course of twenty years, which some of the Hinoko elders believe was a direct consequence of the younger members neglecting the traditions of old. Whether it was because of Onibi or just bad luck finding its way to Kyūsoku no mura, there was only one thing everyone knew: The Hinoko Clan was fucked. Their village had burnt down and only a small handful of the clan members survived: Two elders, the head of the village, and his family(wife and two kids). Out of over two-hundred members, only six survived. And with nowhere to go, they would find sanctuary in Konohagakure. Their village, as well as their traditions, might’ve been long-forgotten, but the elders would make sure that the young ones knew of the old ways and would perhaps practice these traditions on the advice from said elders. [/hider] [hider=Appearance and Special Traits] The Hinoko Clan members all have varying physical appearances. It also depends on the gender of each member, but most of them have a few things in common. They all have shades of blond/e hair and their eyes are either of blue or green colors. They all have very little mass in their overall body shape. Being a clan that was out almost every day, they built up incredible stamina and a general lean body type. They also built up incredible endurance. At some point, that became the norm for them. They are hairy individuals. Their hair grows twice as long than the average human. Their hair is also naturally silky and wavy. Hinokos are known to be passionate people. Whatever trade/career they end up specializing in will be approached with a burning enthusiasm. Sometimes it’s in excess, but it’s the thought that counts. They’re also quite stubborn. You won’t meet a single Hinoko who is always set in their ways. Sure, they might be able to see the other’s side but that would take a lot of work--work that some might see too big of a challenge. They are also hot-tempered and often over impulsive than most shinobi are. It should also be noted that they are more suspect to genjutsu due to their lack of mental resistance. There’s also the fact that they seem to be incapable of doing genjutsu themselves. Every member of the Hinoko clan has had an affiliation to fire. They’ve had secondary elements, sure, but usually, the first one that they lean towards has always been fire. This could be for a number of reasons. The Onibi having an ironic sense of humor. Their name coming through to the bitter end. Really, there are so many reasons it could be, but the fact remains that their heart burns with fire 100%. There is no doubting that. The Hinoko Clan has this special...gift that commands fire as well as the Uchiha clan. They can manipulate and control fire chakra in ways that allow them for more complicated jutsu. Furthermore, they have a hiden that bestows each and every member of the Hinoko Clan to expel streams of fire chakra from their limbs each time they punch or kick in any and all directions they so choose.[/hider] [color=goldenrod][b]R A N K[/b][/color] [indent]Chunin to Jonin[/indent] [color=goldenrod][b]C H A K R A N A T U R E[/b][/color] [indent]Fire(primary); Lightning(secondary)[/indent][hr] [color=goldenrod][b]A P P E A R A N C E/A T T I R E[/b][/color] [indent]Jaakuna practically exemplifies your typical Hinoko male. His head is a shoulder-length, gold mane and his eyes shine a bright emerald. He stands at an even 6’0 with a lean body that allows him to be agile when he needs to be but also pack a punch. He has a slightly oval-shaped face and clean pores. His reach is long and his legs, though long as well, are nimble. When he’s on a mission, he does sport the traditional Chunin garb. If it’s not a stealth mission, he will sport his trademark red sweater jacket that has a hood and zip-up function. When not on a mission, he’s typically in that jacket with the added bonus of olive green pants and boots. He also has an assortment of body tattoos that are the common engravings that the Hinoko Clan has. Every single one of them has at least one of the tattoos that Jaak has. [/indent] [color=goldenrod][b]P E R S O N A[/b][/color] [indent]It’s hard to gauge whether Jaakuna is mostly a fun-loving idiot or raging lunatic with a tendency to act out of emotion rather logic and reason. It’s like both sides of him are split down the middle and no one really knows which side they’ll see. In the case of the former, he’s a joy to be around. He’ll frequently crack jokes--albeit a tad zany at times. Truly, what he loves most is to get others to laugh along with them, or at him. Honestly, he’s not one to be picky about either or. Truth be told, as long as people are finding amusement because of something he might’ve said or did, the ends will justify the means. Additionally, he’s the type to binge on some good ole’ sake or anything that might be seen at a social gathering of some sort. Inversely, Jaakuna’s been known to act rather crazy. He might have a mental condition or he just might have [i]too[/i] much fun. It’s honestly a mystery why he’s like this, but the general consensus is that it’s tied to his lack of patience. He’s good for a while, but try it past the breaking point and Jaakuna just might end up breaking someone’s face. He’s definitely prone to violence. Unlike his ancestors, Jaakuna practices a “fists first” philosophy, yet he’s highly spiritual. In fact, he often will cite that bashing in a poor sap’s face centers him. Hearing his knuckles connect with a physical body brings him back into a neutral state of bliss. It’s unconventional and often troublesome, but if isn’t broke, then why bother attending to it.[/indent] [color=goldenrod][b]H I S T O R Y[/b][/color] [indent]Jaakuna often hears tales of his clan’s beginnings from his grandfather, who fled from the battle scene 50 or so years ago. Truth be told, after awhile, it becomes white noise: some sort of raiding situation made them flee or something in that neighborhood, and they sought sanctuary in Konoha. After a while, Jaakuna simply zoned out whenever his grandfather tried to remind him to remain humble. However, there was one big flaw in that: that was then. Times have changed and so have the traditions that the Hinoko practice. In other words, old man, give it up. That isn’t to say Jaakuna’s not proud to be a Hinoko. But he’s also proud to be a member of Konohagakure. Besides, he wasn’t even born in the small lakeside village his clan originally came from. Hell, his parents were barely old enough to remember. Jaakuna wasn’t even a notion until twenty or so years later. In that time, his clan grew to a modest twenty total in population, though that’s just small pocket change compared to the larger, more expensive clans in the village. Though they are proud and as a result, Jaakuna is proud. Growing up, he had to stick up for his clan. No one else would, but sometimes that got him into skirmishes, especially growing up. Always one to get into fights, JAakuna either pissed off the wrong group of kids who were a few years his senior or his instructor who would give him hell for acting out. It was more or less a rinse and repeat until he graduated. Then when got put on his first team, it was the same thing--only now he was the hothead of an actual Shinobi team. His sensei at the time had to take the direct route to make sure he would finally listen. It was a long, perilous road for him, but after a few dozen tries and just a tenth of tries at the chunin exam, he finally graduated. Imagine that: Jaakuna Hinoko a chunin. Officially, at the age of seventeen, Jaakuna could potentially be put in charge of his own team. That’s a scary thought if ever there was one. From then until now, Jaakuna just did his duty. Going on missions and doing them at a decent rate. None too difficult nor easy. He was put on teams, either with fellow chunin or other jonins. Nothing too complicated about that. Truthfully, Jaakuna’s career as a chunin has been rather average and uneventful. The only thing worth noting is his way of doing his missions has raised a lot of questions about how stable he is. Thankfully, most of his missions have been combat-based ones, so there wasn’t a lot harm done. But in the event that he would have a more stealth-based one, the thought has come up on whether he could actually do it; which is funny since shinobi are supposed to be naturally stealthy, but Jaakuna, in his own words “I don’t play like that.” Troubling indeed.[/indent][hr] [color=goldenrod][b]E Q U I P M E N T[/b][/color] [indent]General Shinobi Tools(kunai, shuriken, explosive tags, wire, smoke bombs)[/indent] [color=goldenrod][b]S P C I A L T R A I T S[/b][/color] [indent][list][*]Enhanced Fire Chakra usage and control [*]Golden fire chakra [*]Ninjutsu and Taijutsu specialist [*]Average Chakra pools [*]Zero genjutsu potential [*]Very agile [*]Average physical attributes(strength, endurance, etc)[/list][/indent] [color=goldenrod][b]H I D E N[/b][/color] [indent]Honō no gutai-ka([sub]炎の具体化[/sub] Realization of Fire) Clan: Hinoko Description: Hono no Gutai-ka is unique to the Hinoko Clan. it is their main method of fighting. It involves a potent presence of excess fire chakra that can be expelled through the usage of kicks and punches. Additionally, this style also combines flawless acrobatics and precision timing to ensure accurate strikes and that no strike is wasted. Each member of the clan has trained since their adolescent years to build up their bodies in every way that matters. With each kick or punch, a small burst of fire expels from that limb used that has the potential to cause minor to medium burning damage; though it is more or less useless against the water nature or any nature that can extinguish the fire. It’s also not as strong against other fire-based attacks.

Either the user can release a stream of the kneaded chakra from one hand or both, but the desired effect will be the same: a linear stream being shot forth to cause burning damage to whoever or whatever it touches. There are three methods when it comes to Sea of Flames: a single burst of chakra from just one hand at a time, dual bursts from both hands simultaneously, and a concentrated burst by placing both hands together for nearly double the power. [color=goldenrod][b]Limits:[/b][/color] Though all three methods of this jutsu are possible, only one can remain active at a time. Depending on which method is used, there is a 5, 10, 15 second resting period to use it again in the order of each method(single hand, single hand in both at the same time, dual hand). Water also proves to be a neutralizer to this jutsu. Period. Fire may also cancel it out due to clashing natures. [color=goldenrod][b]Name of Technique:[/b][/color] Fire and Lightning Dual Art: Chakra Gauntlets [color=goldenrod][b]Type of Jutsu:[/b][/color] Nintaijutsu, chakra flow [color=goldenrod][b]Rank:[/b][/color] C-B [color=goldenrod][b]Range:[/b][/color] Close Range [color=goldenrod][b]Nature Type:[/b][/color] Fire and Lightning(one per) [color=goldenrod][b]Description[/b][/color] This jutsu involves the simultaenous kneading of both lightning and fire chakra in the body and centering it in both arms. The next step involves expelling it from the tenketsu points in the wrists and palms and shaping the chakra into a fist-like aura around each fist that results in one hand being covered in flaming fire chakra and the other in crackling lightning chakra. When finished, the user has two chakra gauntlets of both lightning and fire. [color=goldenrod][b]Limits:[/b][/color] There comes a high chakra cost by using this specific jutsu. This is because of the usage of two elements at the same time. One might not be as skilled with one as they might be with the other, so while one hand might pack a punch, the other might not be as strong. There’s also the depleting effect it has. The longer it remains active, the higher risk the user runs of depleting his/her reserves. Lastly, depending on the amount of chakra put into it(which plays on the differing rank), either it will remain active longer than two minutes or it might be shorter. There are even cases of it lasting less than 30 seconds. Time really is a fickle mistress.[/indent] [/color][/hider]
