[hider=Hanabira Tapo] [center][URL=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wnvx-zh29vg]Theme[/URL] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [img]https://i.imgur.com/UpXZ2LS.png[/img] [color=green][I]In time, all flowers shall bloom.[/I] [/color] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 【[U]Full Name[/U]】Hanabira Tapo 【[U]Nickname/Alias[/U]】 The Petal Dagger Dancer Big Brother Tapo Tapo Ichi 【[U]Gender[/U]】Male 【[U]Age[/U]】22 【[U]Age Appearance[/U]】 Late Teens. 【[U]Sexuality[/U]】Bisexual 【[U]Nation[/U]】Leaf 【[U]Birthplace[/U]】Konoha 【[U]Alignment/Affiliation/Organization[/U]】 Loyal to his home but values life, his countrymen's and nature's at the forefront. 【[U]Clan/Bloodline[/U]】 Hanabira clan's a rather small clan, a Dozen or so active members in the shinobi corps. Tapo's the only one sent to the New Continent, as he's the one who's gained enough renown. And honed his craft enough to be considered worthy. His clan has boom of children in the post-war time, earning him the nickname "Big brother Tapo". 【[U]Rank[/U]】 Special Jounin – Intelligence specialization. 2nd Chief Officer of Intelligence. Communications Officer. Head Of Sealing Unit. 【[U]Chakra Nature[/U]】 Wind Latent talents in earth and fire. 【[U]Appearance/Wardrobe[/U]】 Tapo stands at 5'10, reasonably tall for his age. A lean and well maintained build at 140 pounds, one would be hard pressed to find any flab on him. His body's notable for it's without scars. Not because he's avoided getting injured, but because he's always taken great care of the wounds he has sustained, to avoid ugly scarring. His dark brown hair reaches slightly further down than his shoulders, tied back into a neat ponytail in the back, leaving the front natural. He's normally seen in earthy, dark colors with mint tints and highlights. He wears a tight top, green over the chest and black over the arms, and a gray coat with his clan's Blossom insignia on, with green stripes on the shoulders. His hands are almost always gloves, regardless of the weather. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 【[U]Personality[/U]】 Tapo's a reserved, initially seemingly cold individual. His coolness should not be mistaken for apathy, but rather understood as focus. He's completely dedicated to his craft, be it gardening or Ninjutsu. He values natural life above all – at times even acting harshly against those that will not show nature the respect he thinks it deserves. He's strictly vegetarian, eating only what he himself, or his kin has produced. He's a patriot and loyal to his house without fail, valuing success as a shinobi, but also as a individual – a member of his people and his family. He smiles often, but few have seen him ever laugh. His one outlet is when it comes to wordplay. He throughly enjoy a good pun. Unlike many other in war time, Tapo kept his head cool, thinking before acting, following orders instead of boasting. Remaining humble instead of reckless. Proving himself as responsible and reliable, a paragon in that regard. He's eccentric and to some, he might seem a bit weird due to his fascination with art and flora, to him, something being 'ugly' is the worst insult he could imagine. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 【[U]History[/U]】 Born the oldest of five siblings, his father a soldier in Konoha's armed forces. He grew up in an apartment much too small for their family, he had 18 cousins living in the same stairwell as his family did, leaving the Hanabira clan quite cramped. He learned how to live without much personal space, his mother working as hard as she could to take care of him and his siblings, and soon, once he was old enough, he would help her out. Yet, this belief of never having enough personal space stayed with him – he would frequently run away from home, leaving his mother worried sick. During these runaways, he'd go out into the forests, admiring the beauty of the blooming flowers – and during winter he'd mourn their loss, yet wait patiently for their rebirth and bloom once spring came. He begun training as a shinobi at six years old, proving a quick study and something of a prodigy when it came to technicalities. He was able to read at a level several years ahead of his age, showing a understanding for concepts most kids his age would be unable to comprehend. His prodigal skills were hampered by his daydreaming, dreaming himself back to the fields with the blooming flowers time and time again. After the academy, he would go out on his own for several hours, exploring nature and the like. Tapo was nine when he was considered ready for battle, graduating the academy and sent onto his first few missions. Most of them were basic, for even in wartime, Konoha still needed to partake in missions that would net the shinobi village revenue from the rest of the Land Of Fire. War makes the treasury run empty very quickly, after all. His first time seeing battle was about a year in, fighting warriors from the Empire. Outnumbered and defeated, his squad were shattered. Young Tapo was slashed across the chest and kicked into a river to drown somewhere in the ruins of the Land Of Whirlpools. Sinking he regained consciousness in the nick of time, kicking and paddling his way up to the surface – or what he thought was the surface, rather. His head popped up in a cavern, what looked like the ruins of an archive. Not ruined because someone had raided it – but ruined because it was unkempt. It's keepers had perished long ago, and the archive had been forgotten in time. Tapo tended to his wounds his training in medicine paid off, the cavern was sizeable enough to provide him with edible mushrooms and the river he had been left to die in led all the way here, leaving him with ampt fresh water for drinking and sustainability. Yet, the greatest treasure of them all was not the limited means of survival the cavern provided him with – but instead the wellspring of knowledge the archives held. Once he was strong enough to no longer have to worry about his wound, Tapo begun reading, experimenting and testing his boundaries. Within weeks, he had mastered the basics. Sealing something away and summoning it again. The more he learned, the more he begun understanding about why this place was untouched – how none of the sensory shinobi could find it. It was warded off by some of the most powerful sealing techniques Tapo had ever heard off – seals that were well guarded secrets even during the First Great War. Tapo spent six months underground, presumed dead, like the flowers he so loved as a child. Learning, honing his craft. He emerged, a few weeks after his 11th Birthday. He spun a tale about how he had been saved by some civilians downstream and he had been suffering from short-term amnesia, and once he recovered his memory he returned home. He lived as an ordinary shinobi, taking small time missions for the foreseeable future, not seeing much combat – spending his off time helping out his family or in his solitude down in the archives. Once he mastered the basics of his craft, getting in and out of the Archive was no obsticle. He chose to become a sealing specialist by schooling, his personal studies had put him leagues ahead of his young peers, his teachers thinking him a true prodigy in the art – in a way, they were right. Over the next few years, he begun mastering the finer, more intricate uses of his art. When he was 15 – about time for him to be promoted to a chunnin – he was kidnapped by the intelligence forces. The ANBU. They suspected him of being a traitor – a mole, someone who was using a mimic jutsu to look like the young Hanabira, that was the only explanation for his advanced mastery of sealing techniques and abnormal skill with them. Yet, the sensor jutsu they used to check his body for any known transformation techniques failed, so did interrogation. Sure, he did have his secret – but they weren't asking the right question. They let him go, holding his promotion until they could evaluate if he's a security risk. Getting in contact with the Captain of the ANBU, Tapo explained his situation – he had a secret technique he was carrying, one he couldn't share with his fellow shinobi. While it was weird circumstances – no one of his Clan had a Hiden previously. But the Captain gave the investigators the green light. 'We're shinobi, everyone has their secrets' was the logic that had been given to him. With it, Tapo began flourishing. Be began displaying what he had learned, proving to be faster than anyone else of his age – traveling long distances in seemingly the blink of an eye. He began showing his mastery of techniques the world hadn't seen in centuries – not since the foundation of the Hidden Leaf. As his teenage years came to a close, Tapo had become famous as an escort of valuable goods. His speed at delivering parcels, regardless if they were encoded messages or supplies was without equal. His mastery over sealing techniques is unmatched in all of the Leaf, perhaps even the world. With his skills he has fixed the warding in the archives, making it only accessable if one has the 'Key' – A seal of his own creation. Because of the usefulness of his gimmick, he was both a volounteer and a prime candidate for the Embargo Force of Konoha. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 【[U]Special Traits[/U]】 Sealing technique master One of few Spacetime Ninjutsu Specialists in the world.

It achieves basically the same thing. Momentum's about a tenth of that of the real deal – Tapo found his own reflexes to be incapable of handling the full throttle of the real technique. Except the speed, his technique's almost identical to the Second Hokage's original, except his seal cannot be applied to other living things. Everytime he teleports he activates a seal on his body, usually located on his arms. Turning the seal, it glows as he teleports, leaving behind green rose petals. The technique does not allow him to teleport anyone else with him, unless additional seals are used. The distance one can travel is based upon the intricacy of the seal. [b]Name of Technique:[/b] Blooming Petal Blossom; Grapevine [b]Type of Jutsu:[/b] Space Time Ninjutsu, Taijutsu [b]Rank:[/b] A [b]Range:[/b] Close. [b]Nature Type:[/b] N/A [b]Description:[/b] Tapo grabs an opponent into a arm lock– one of the few grapples he knows, and immediately teleport as high into the air as he can with the target. Once in the air, he gets a steadier grip onto his opponent, to avoid them getting out of the grip until right before impact, where he activates another seal and teleports away, alone, leaving the target facing the full power of the most equal force of them all – Gravity. [b]Name of Technique:[/b] Blooming Petal Blossom; Flight Of The Sparrow [b]Type of Jutsu:[/b] Space Time Ninjutsu, Kenjutsu. [b]Rank:[/b] A [b]Range:[/b] Close - Medium [b]Nature Type:[/b] Wind [b]Description:[/b] Coating his sword with the flying sparrow technique, Topa slashes at his opponent once, throws one of his special kunai into the opponent's blind spot, and with the same hand he threw activates a seal on his sword arm, making him teleport in the middle of a swing – letting him hit an opponent from two different angles at once. [b]Name of Technique:[/b] Petal Seed Technique [b]Type of Jutsu:[/b] Sealing Technique, Supplementary [b]Rank:[/b] C [b]Range:[/b] Self [b]Nature Type:[/b] N/A [b]Description:[/b] Creating the seals he need to trigger with his Blooming Petal technique, applying them to his own body. Arms and sometimes torso, each ' standard' seal takes up 20 Centimeters in diameter. A longer distance seal, such as between villages, requires drastically more space and intricate seal. If he was to sustain an injury upon the seal, they are broken and cannot be used. He most often keep four seals on him, two on each forearm for ease of access, but he can fit a grand total of 12 on his arms, shoulders and torso, binding them to his teleportation technique. [b]Name of Technique:[/b] [URL=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Fire_Sealing_Method]Elemental Sealing Method[/url] [b]Type of Jutsu:[/b] Sealing Technique, Utility. [b]Rank:[/b] B [b]Range:[/b] Close [b]Nature Type:[/b] Whichever the element that is applied to the technique has. [b]Description:[/b] Tapo uses an allies, or his own – if the scroll is to be primed for Wind element. His siblings have each helped him prime one scroll for each, as they all handily have unique chakra natures. [b]Name of Technique:[/b] Time Stasis; [b]Type of Jutsu:[/b] Space Time Ninjutsu. [b]Rank:[/b] B [b]Range:[/b] Trap, can be triggered miles away from Tapo. [b]Nature Type:[/b] N/A [b]Description:[/b] A Tag often hidden under some kind of cover, once it gets in contact with anything living, it triggers a 5 by 5 meter 'bubble'. A sphere where total stasis happens. Nothing moves once it enters, or is caught inside of this bubble, freezing the target in time for up to five seconds. Stronger chakra constitutions and abnormal chakra patterns (Such as say, Gates, Sussano, or Lightning Armor) will mess with with the trap and shorten it's duration. The seal's incredibly detailed and therefor requires plenty of time to make. [b]Name of Technique:[/b] String Light Layer Trap Technique [b]Type of Jutsu:[/b] Sealing, Trap, Utility [b]Rank:[/b] B [b]Radius:[/b] Up to 20 meters [b]Nature Type:[/b] N/A [b]Description:[/b] Effectively someone laying layers of String Light Trap Technique upon each other, mimicing the effects of the Multiple String Light technique, but can be done solo. Incredibly effective at limiting one, or several opponents movements if the technique remains hidden until activation. [b]Name of Technique:[/b] Blooming Petal Blossom, Flying Sparrow's Dance [b]Type of Jutsu:[/b] Space Time Ninjutsu, Kenjutsu [b]Rank:[/b] S [b]Range:[/b] Melee – 10 meters. [b]Nature Type:[/b] Wind [b]Description:[/b] After immobilizing an opponent, either with his sword, with traps or with an ally's help, Tapo throws his Petal Daggers in a pattern around the opponent, activating the seal on them as he throws them, allowing him to teleport between the four at will, at the cost of one Seed Seal per teleportation. Allowing him to build momentum over time while launching himself between the kunai, increasing his attack force several tens of times over, while also allowing him total unpredictability in regards to angles to attack from.
