While their clan is known for larger bodied shinobi, Akane stands less than impressively tall for his age.

The marriage between the two was "mostly" normal, though Ichika's family was greatly profited by the arrangement. She was mostly wanted due her skill in tailoring and had knowledge of spinning threads out of materials normally difficult to work with. Subaru found this trait to be useful, but he did like the docile woman regardless. She was a member of the Yuganori, which the Furaribi didn't typically like due to their shady nature, and swiftness of self profit. Many of the Furaribi Elders even make death threats upon Ichika, annually, though papa Subaru shuts that shit down real fast. Akane was raised like most Furaribi, following the tradition of leaving the child near the bonfire for three days after birth to familiarize them with the "spirits of fire" only visiting to feed and nurture the infant. Akane was born smaller than most Furaribi due to his mother's genetics, his body was less bulky, more skin and bone than muscle. Ichika babied the boy because of his small stature, even into his childhood, this would anger his father and a good majority of the rest of the clan. His training would need to start early so he could keep up with his clanmates.[/sub] ⒉ [sub]Akane's training was a lot harsher than most others in his clan, it was directly done through his father and he started with intermediate courses rather than the standard entry level ones younglings of his age would. These lessons involved harsh physical conditioning, fire training, and a practice called "The Temper" which is a teaching that forces the child into intense anger on a daily basis and the teacher identifies that anger to a trigger; this allows the Furarubi to harness their techniques more easily if they are having difficulty. The Furaribi were known for their sheer physical strength, so this would be what would be tensely focused upon him first. The clan specialized in taijutsu and kenjutsu, which benefit greatly from raw strength and discipline; thus the training would start with harsh hardening of the boy's body. His father would perform his "Body of Fire Technique" which would cause his arms and legs to ignite in flames, allowing his taijutsu to incinerate his opponent. Reasoning for this harsh method was to condition the boy’s body to intense heat early on, or kill him in the process. Akane would take on his father's training while he used this technique, sending the boy to the academy every day with singed hair, burn marks, bruises. He kept headstrong however, his mother coddling him every once in a while to reinforce the boy's mental health, even knitting her son a fireproof red scarf that he wouldn't wear all year long- but during the winter he would. In school he typically kept to himself, cautious eyes glanced at the boy; not out of fear but concern as he seemed to take brunt beatings on a daily basis. Training was harsh for everyobe, but it was to a degree that seemed, inhumane. He knew as much of the outside world as his family allowed him, and he honestly didn't care much for it- just get strong enough so his dad would lay off, and make his mother happy as completely possible, that's how he got through his days. [/sub] ⒊ [sub]Everyone in the Rain goes through hardship. Akane maintained his grades throughout his own, he would not reach the perfection expected of his father; but he would instead reach his own special type of niche. Rather than showing promise in taijutsu, he would accel in shurikenjutsu warranting his father to have a large Shuriken crafted for him. He was also expectedly proficient in the clan's innate skill of Fire Release and his father presses him to utilize the ashes of the Great Flame all the time. Within a few years he was making waves, his mother proud, even some respect from his father as little it would be worth. By no means was he a genius, just showing promise as any around his age should. The only thing that seemed to be his crutch was the fact that he was a bit misguided, his clan solved most of their disagreement among themselves by beating the shit out of eachother. While he didn’t see others doing that, Akane felt at a young age that this was normal and adjusted to such. Whenever someone said something to him that he disagreed with, he would leap to action with thrown fists and chomping teeth.[/sub] ⒋ [sub]To be added post time-skip [/sub] ⒌ [sub]To be added post time-skip [/sub] [/indent] [hider=Furaribi] [img]http://www.upl.co/uploads/19F3D7A4F68D460BA9D8F50FF8CB96421527604179.jpeg[/img] The Land of Fire has seen many changes over the years and while they’ve had justifiably great leaders over the centuries it slowly developed into an place unsuitable for Furaribi. You see, the Furaribi are absolutely a people of war, they have revolved their entire culture around it. Long-long ago, Furaribi the First came across a mountain surrounded by ashen, blackened, trees and decided to climb said mountain to find the source that caused the forest around it to die. Reaching a cave near the summit of the mountain did not reveal some demon or monster, but instead a large flame of grandeur. The flame was old and everburning, Furaribi the First became obsessed with such a marvel of the world. His first sons would be the ones to find that the flame was not so eternal, it took a few years but the inferno shrunk. The two Furaribi the Youngers tried many-many things to feed the flame and rekindle it to its former greatness, though no wood nor kindling did anything. When the time came for Furaribi the Older, he asked to be fed to the flame he adored so much, saying that it would be the only way he would die peacefully. Two reluctant sons agreed, and as he passed, they wrapped him in ceremonial cloth and fed the withering man to the flame. Strangely, as the last bits of the man were consumed by the Great Flame, it rose in strength once again filling the cavern walls with light and heat. It then dawned on the two Youngers that this special fire could only be fed with men. The family would grow at a subtle pace, the flame would evolve from a spectacle to a piece of the clan’s heritage and over the years hunted targets in the Land of Fire would go missing. The strong shinobi of the Furaribi were never suspected, but guilty they were, taking anyone they could back to their Great Flame as a display of power amongst their clan. It was around this time that they learned of the chakra-rich ash beneath the flame, a young shinobi using it to produce an impressive fire technique with ease. This would devolve over the years, clan members seeking to impress others within the clan by offering more bodies than the fore to produce more ash. One particular clansmen Ikaku even stooped to the level of preying upon villagers and dressing them in recycled shinobi clothing to cover up his crimes. Over time they were seen more as ceremonial murderers in than shinobi themselves, and distanced themselves more and more with each passing year to the point where it became difficult to live without killing and stealing from others. It is around this time that the Furaribi decided to leave the Land of Fire to look for greener pastures. It is still not known what exactly the Great Fire is, but th Furaribi are it as an effigy they must revolve their life of war and combat around. They to this day m, even in Ame feed the flame whenever the bodies appear for them, harvesting the ashes and using them in their techniques.

[/i][/indent][color=red]✗[/color] [b]Eternal Grudge[/b][indent][i]Akane is spiteful towards many of his clansmen for the mistreatment of him and his mother. This is often seen when he is around a cousin or uncle, as he does not familiarize himself with them or acknowledge their feelings entirely.[/i][/indent][color=green]✓[/color] [b]Hard Ass[/b][indent][i]Imagine being born in a family where man, so mean, and child, address their disputes by finding a sparring mat to beat one another into submission to prove their viewpoint. That is Furaribi. While Akane isn’t the stereotypical boisterous, pushy, violent red-head, he is not the type to be easily swayed from his own views. And if all else fails, he will attempt to brawl with the person who had such a disputed with him because that’s the Furaribi way, screw politics.[/i][/indent][color=red]✗[/color] [b]Pyromania[/b][indent][i]While it’s not an intended outcome of Akane’s upbringing, he has developed a fascination with fire and along with it “burning things”. He has been scolded and punished on several circumstances for burning insignificant things around the Furaribi estate, but it is a problem that still needs to be addressed.[/i][/indent][/indent] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]Dreams and hopes:[/b][indent][color=gray]ｘ[/color] Succeed father has Furaribi Head.

Being a shinobi is more so Akane’s livelihood and sees it as the predetermined destiny that has already been written out for him. All in all, he is dedicated to becoming a proficient shinobi for himself and his direct family to maintain to live up to their standard, and prove those who doubt him wrong more than anything.[/indent] [center][color=black] ————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— [h3][b]Military[/b][/h3] —————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————[/color][/center] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]Hiden:[/b][indent]The Great Flame [indent][color=gray]▸[/color] [b]Description:[/b][indent]The Furaribi are a people who worship a giant bonfire beneath their estate. They revel in the flame, and it is said that the first Furaribi was even able to bathe in lava. Their heated temperament and destructive behavior is all represented in their clan’s jutsu. Furaribi Style is more typically utilized with katon natured jutsu, but there are earth and lava derivatives of it. These jutsu are brutal, to the untrained Furaribi they harm the body and destroy the environment around them. The most notable is the Body of Fire Technique, [url=https://i.pinimg.com/originals/55/bf/a5/55bfa5cf40f94db5e759b17315c20411.jpg]engulfing the shinobi’s torso and arms in flames[/url]. This utilized with their heavy-handed brawler style of taijutsu is a destructive force on the battlefield that is feared by the unprepared. Their source of strength is that of the ashes collected from the enemies they set ablaze, gathering up their remnant chakra and recycling it back into the flame.[/indent] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]Strengths:[/b][indent]The style’s strength lies in the source of the chakra they utilize. The Great Flame is a great ancient bonfire that is integrated into the clan’s culture entirely. This unique flame is highly resistant to being extinguished and if constantly fueled by the death of their enemies, casting their bodies into the flame to access more chakra. The ash produced by the bonfire is rich in chakra, and they gather this material to bolster their abilities and some even revolve their technique around this ash. [/indent] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]Weaknesses:[/b][indent]While this is less apparent at lower levels, there is the factor of requiring ash from the Great Flame to perform some of these techniques that inhibits their effectiveness greatly. Most techniques of the clan are also dependent on closing the distance between them and their enemy, meaning they are at a disadvantage against opponents whom are ranger specialist types. Lastly their style eats up a lot of oxygen around their body, at early stages this causes lung issues among the Furaribi but it more of an active problem on the battlefield as they can knock themselves out from not being able to breathe. To counteract this a few Furaribi have actually taken up to using rebreathers.[/indent][/indent][/indent] [indent][color=gray]▸[/color][b]C-rank Techniques[/b] [img]https://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/naruto/images/b/bf/Nature_Icon_Fire.svg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/18?cb=20091012120333[/img] - [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Fire_Release:_Phoenix_Sage_Fire_Technique]Phoenix Sage Fire Technique[/url] [b]Furaribi Style - Hotaru[/b] [i]Range:[/i] Short [i]Description:[/i] This jutsu takes the form of small embers quickly releasing from the shinobi’s body. Each small sum of fire is around two to three centimeters in size and act more as more of a deterrent than an offensive technique. Typically Hotaru is utilized alongside taijutsu to burn enemies they are brawling with, the embers are harmless to a Furaribi and a seasoned clansmen can maintain this technique for quite some time. The hand seals for performing the jutsu are boar, and an open hand. Activation for this technique doesn’t abruptly happen, the embers will steadily accumulate over time until a cloud is formed around the user. Chakra use for this technique is relatively low, however if maintained for extensive periods of time it could become exhausting. [i]Weakness:[/i] All Furaribi techniques eat up oxygen around them, and while these embers are difficult to extinguish, the will die out if not able to utilize appropriate amounts of oxygen. While Akane is mobile, these embers will follow st a delay leaving opening for a well aimed kunai or senbon. [b]Furaribi Style - Hanabi[/b] [i]Range[/i]: Melee [i]Description[/i]: Typically taking the form of a nintaijutsu, the shinobi utilizing Hanabi imbues one specific hand with excessive amounts of chakra before closing the gap between themselves and their target. If used in conjunction with Hotaru, the embers will be drawn in towards the hand making the intended use of this jutsu more difficult to escape from. The Furaribi will then attempt to place the channeled hand upon their target before forming the boar hand seal with their opposite, releasing a large blast of fire at point blank range upon their target. [i]Weakness:[/i] Enemies who are able to maintain distance from the user are a hard counter, additionally anyone who is ept at genjutsu can complete avoid this technique form making contact. A shinobi who is able to disrupt the Furaribi from performing the trigger hand seal can completely circumvent him from performing this technique. There is also blowback on inexperienced users who use this technique. [b]Furaribi Style - Senkō Hanabi[/b] [i]Range[/i]: Medium [i]Description[/i]: A derivative of Hanabi and almost identical in practice, the shinobi focuses chakra into some form of melee weapon before releasing the fire natured chakra upon striking with said weapon. At lower levels this simply allows a youth to deal a high damage melee attack after some patience and concentration, though there are upper brass among the clan that can incinerate their opponent if this technique lands. Akane utilizes this technique at medium range, as he imbues his large shuriken with ashes collected from the Great Flame rich with chakra and upon contact with the enemy performs the boar seal to attempt to cause them to combust. [i]Weakness:[/i] Suiton Techniques can cause warping and damage to non-specialized weapons, and as the technique is still a physical object it can still be deflected by physical means by someone that’s strong enough. The same backlash non-armed Hanabi has upon the user’s arm takes place if the technique doesn’t land it’s mark. This also requires the use of a trigger and as fore mentioned can be disrupted due to the technique not being instantaneous.
