[sub][color=C1CDCD][b]P E R S O N A L  H I S T O R Y[/b][/color][/sub][indent][color=Gray]Shizuya was born to a rather small clan. His predecessors do not have many accomplishments to speak of, beyond a history of reliable blacksmithing. His father himself is a blacksmith and armorer, owning a small but admittedly successful shop within [i]Konohagakure[/i]. Shizu has a well-knit relationship with his father - even closer than is the norm for the surrounding culture, even though it may not seem so with the boy’s glaringly obvious lack of communication skills. This connection, as well as that glaring lack, is something his father attributes to his wife’s passing at Shizu’s birth - his son had always lacked a maternal figure.

Despite his lack of a second parent, Shizu was always one to seek to help his father in his shop, even from a young age. His father would allow him to carry light loads of raw materials to places they needed to go - until eventually he could teach his son some of his craft. However, while Shizu did quite enjoy helping in his father’s craft, there was another factor afoot. The Shinobi.

The Shinobi - sometimes called “Ninja” - were warriors who trained and fought to defend the village, putting their lives on the line for honor and renown, all the while protecting the lives of innocents. Shizu saw the Shinobi who frequented his father’s establishment and quickly formed a desire to become one. Being that it was such an honor, his father had no qualms with it. Worry? Of course. But he believed in his young son’s spirit.

Now, his father was no Shinobi. But he knew some people, and decided it would be wise to call in a favor. One day, he introduced his son to an old friend. The other man spent some time with Shizu, just getting to know the boy more. Eventually, he met the boy’s favorite possession. A doll that his mother had created for the boy in preparation for his birth. It was a token of her love that he kept with him regardless of where he went. After that day, the boy was enrolled in the Shinobi academy - and tutored separately through his father’s friend in the form of Puppeteering Techniques, which the boy took quickly to.

Whether he ends up being a defector or a defender of his village, I’ll have Shizu work to bring renown to his family name - as that is his ultimate goal. Being likely the first Shinobi of his lineage, he strives to use that opportunity and make a legend of himself(or maybe not a legend but someone who’s someone). I’m hoping to have him become very skilled with his Puppetry - perhaps to a degree of being known of his skill by name. Which could seem... reasonable, considering it seems like a somewhat rarer technique.

If he ends up being a goodie, he could maybe start to make some bonds with his other Shinobi - actually make friends for once. If he’s a baddie tho, I imagine he could go down a much darker path - like, the [i]Human Puppet Technique[/i] dark.

[INDENT][color=White][b]• [/b][/color][color=Gray]Novice Armor/Weaponsmithing [color=White]-[/color] Shizu knows how to handle the forging, creation, and repair of various armors and weapons - though he favors armor creation, in honesty. He can’t quite make quality weapons by his lonesome, but his armorcraft is something he’s proud of.[/color]
[color=White][b]• [/b][/color][color=Gray]Puppetcraft [color=White]-[/color] Shizu has, since the begging of his training, learned to create quality puppets and dolls - mostly to be used with his Puppet Techniques. In tandem with his smithing experience, his creations seem a little advanced for his level of Jutsu training.[/color]
[color=White][b]• [/b][/color][color=Gray]Technique Evaluation [color=White]-[/color] Shizuya has an eye for gauging the capabilities of techniques - whether they be his own, or of those around him. He tends to find himself seeking out the weakness or potential combos a technique could have, even if the situation doesn't call for such a thing. He also seems fairly skilled at tracking hand seals and subtle movements.[/color]

[color=White][b]• [/b][/color][color=Gray][i]Fūinjutsu[/i] [color=White]-[/color] Shizu finds the applications of [i]Fūinjutsu[/i] to be quite useful - especially the Enclosing Techniques, which he can use to store his puppets.

[center][h1][color=007236]Samoth Maskono[/color][/h1][/center][hr][hr]
[right][h3][color=007236][i]Name[/i]:[/color][/h3]Samoth Maskono
[h3][color=007236][i]Age[/i]:[/color][/h3]17
[h3][color=007236][i]Grade[/i]:[/color][/h3]Third Year, St. Laurel's
[h3][color=007236][i]Biography[/i]:[/color][/h3] Samoth was raised on a paramilitary personnel base with his surprisingly lenient mother and father. Growing up, he was granted many freedoms the other children at the base did not have. However, he largely did not choose to exercise the freedom he was given, instead foregoing it to work [i]even harder[/i] than the other young men on the base. Instead of slacking, or staying inside all day playing games, he would spend his free time reading, learning, and developing his mind and body. He strove to be the smartest person in the room - and he made his parents proud through doing so.
He didn't need his parents to be strict with him, he was strict enough for himself. However, they did eventually become concerned for his skills on the more social side, hence suggesting he transfer to St. Laurel’s academy. Which he did, as he held the utmost respect for them.
Despite that, though, he still persists his training at St. Laurels. He trains his mind, body, and will to be as capable as he can manage.

[indent][sub][sub][color=007236][i]Core Power[/i][/color][/sub][/sub]
[color=007236][i][u]Strength of Will[/u][/i]:[/color][/indent]   Samoth’s powers are fueled and strengthened by his willpower. Luckily for him, his deity granted him a large supplementary pool of it to draw from, and a hardy base of it, allowing him to accomplish feats unlike others. He can draw upon this [i]willpool[/i] in mundane ways - for example to persevere physically - or through more special ways, such as to summon a large armada of his willpower structures, to manipulate the shape of [i]Will-naught[/i], or even to purge nuisances against his mind. These methods will, of course, begin to drain the pool quickly, which will require meditation to recover.

[indent][sub][sub][color=007236][i]Secondary Power[/i][/color][/sub][/sub]
[color=007236][i][u]Will-naught[/u][/i]:[/color][/indent]   Samoth has developed the ability to will the powers of another away from them - or from the environment - temporarily. He can will a field of anti-magic to cover each of his arms from elbow to fingertips. This field obliterates the forces causing magic to persist - and when applied to the skin of another individual, will quickly dig to their center to disable their abilities for as long as he touches them. Samoth can also use this touch to pierce different planes, if he knows what he’s aiming for. While this power does not normally drain his pool of will, he can manipulate the field to some degree - but doing so is very costly.

[indent][sub][sub][color=007236][i]Tertiary Power[/i][/color][/sub][/sub]
[color=007236][i][u]Tenacity of Will[/u][/i]:[/color][/indent]   Samoth can project his sheer willpower as a force onto his environment, creating invisible, solid structures from nothing. He can anchor these structures to space, allowing them to float - and rendering them immobile unless willed to move by himself. Surpassing these structures is much harder using subnatural means, as it pits Samoth’s will against his foe’s - but physically they can be worn out at a cost to his pool.

[indent][sub][sub][color=007236][i]Quaternary Power[/i][/color][/sub][/sub]
[color=007236][i][u]Urgency[/u][/i]:[/color][/indent]   Samoth can detect the wills of those he allies himself with, within a certain radius. Within about a hundred feet, he can sense the precise position of allies and the general condition of their Willpower state. This state will include emotions such a terror, triumph, or similarly overwhelming emotions.
