No scars mare his skin nor is he especially muscled or thin. The only thing remotely remarkable about his looks would be his bright eyes, slightly uncommon among those with darker hair. Despite his average appearance Tadasu carries himself with an air of confidence. He knows that it doesn’t matter that he doesn’t stand out, in fact in some situations it could be beneficial in the life of a shinobi.[/indent] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]Wardrobe:[/b][indent]He tends to wear shorter sleeved clothing to give himself the mobility that is required by his fighting style. For the rest of his gear it is what you would expect from your run of the mill genin,standard shinobi pants along with open toed sandals. Though when operating within the territory surrounding Amegakure he replaces his footwear with regular shoes due to the muddy conditions from the near constant rain. [/indent] [center][color=black] ————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— [h3][b]Biography[/b][/h3] —————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————[/color][/center] [indent][color=gray]▸[/color] [b]History:[/b][indent] The first years of Tadasu’s life weren’t anything special, at least not in his eyes. In reality he had it rather well off, at least compared to many. The Ueda clan has always been rather prominent, enough so that their compound is located within the city proper rather than the outskirts. This gave Tadasu some privileges that those less fortunate were not privy to. He had relative safety, as much as one could expect living in the Elemental Nations, never needed to worry about the quality of his clothing or when his next meal would be. He grew up not only with both of his parents but other clan members as well. When he was five years old he began training with his clan, though nothing significant at the start. It mainly involved physical conditioning and learning the basic concepts behind the Shinkirouken. His father handled these areas of his training, along with other members of the clan when his father was away on a mission. Ueda Maki, his mother, took a different approach. She gifted him a shamisen and had him practice playing by creating afterimages of his fingers to create new sounds. He took to all aspects of his training with fervor, following his father’s instructions during the day and practicing his shamisen in the evenings. This continued largely without interruption until he joined the Academy to begin properly training as a future shinobi of Amegakure. With his physical training being handled mainly by the academy his parents began taking more missions to contribute to the prosperity of the village. Tadasu in turn spent more time away from his home and clan compound. With his natural inclination to making friends he spent most of his time with them, when not at the academy at least. His evenings remained dedicated to playing his instrument, though more for fun rather than training as he had done as much as he could with it in that regard until he furthered his understanding of the Shinkirouken. It wasn’t too long after he entered the academy that his mother ended up dying. According to his father she passed away while on a mission, her death ensuring their success. Tadasu never questioned his father about it further than that, people die and a ninja’s life was far from safe. In his eyes dad would have no reason to lie. The first few months were rough for the aspiring shinobi, but he took comfort in the knowledge she died for the village. Eventually this was enough to help him carry on. His father grew more distant after the passing of his wife taking on more missions, the further and longer they took the more likely he was to snatch them up. Tadasu learned from his example and began throwing himself into his Academy work, though he made sure to never neglect his music. This pattern remained the norm until the day he had been anxiously waiting for finally arrived, graduation day.

He isn’t much for being alone and broody.[/i][/indent][color=red]✗[/color] [b]Narrow Focus[/b][indent][i]Tadasu has some trouble focusing on several tasks at once, prefering to hone in on one or two and tackle them before dealing with others. While this [i]could[/i] be positive at times it can cause him to lose sight of the big picture. [/i][/indent][color=green]✓[/color] [b]Smart[/b][indent][i]While not a genius he did well in the academy. He would make the time to actively study whenever he was having trouble with something rather than just hope for the best.[/i][/indent][color=red]✗[/color] [b]Emotional[/b][indent][i]It can be difficult for Tadasu to control his emotions or even mask them. He knows that this is something he should work on, and he intends to, but it is not his highest priority.[/i][/indent][color=green]✓[/color] [b]Optimistic[/b][indent][i]Tadasu tends to look at the bright side of things, or the brighter side at the very least.

He learned about in the academy of course, but being part of a clan he has rarely experienced anything truly tragic. The only significant event being the death of his mother.

Rather than building up towards utilizing full body afterimages practitioners of Shinkirouken instead focus on making afterimages of specific body parts. It isn’t practiced as widely as the Ame Kyozo as it is seen to have less versatility than it. The Ueda family however have dedicated themselves to the branch and are among the most skilled practitioners of the Shinkirouken. [/indent] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]Strengths:[/b][indent]The strength of the Mirage Fist lies in the additional power it brings to hand to hand combat. While at lower skill levels the afterimages are significantly weaker than their full potential it still adds an additional element to the attack. It can also turn a missed attack into a successful one as most people aren’t necessarily prepared for the afterimage. When compared to its parent style it makes up for its supposed lack of versatility by requiring less chakra control and chakra usage. At his current level Tadasu is capable of creating singular afterimages with relative ease for few minutes if using them with every attack.[/indent] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]Weaknesses:[/b][indent]The weaknesses of the style are pretty typical for any close range combat fighting. If you remain outside of their range the afterimages are effectively useless, though this is mitigated to a degree at higher levels. In addition if you’re a better fighter than it really doesn’t matter that there are more attacks. The afterimages can also be blocked just like a regular attack.[/indent][/indent][/hider] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]B-rank Techniques[/b][indent][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=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Fire_Release:_Fire_Dragon_Flame_Bullet]Katon: Karyū Endan [/url][/indent] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]C-rank Techniques[/b][indent][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=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Fire_Release:_Dragon_Fire_Technique]Katon: Ryūka no Jutsu [/url][/indent] [indent][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=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Fire_Release:_Great_Fireball_Technique]Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu [/url][/indent] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]Custom Jutsu:[/b][indent] [indent][b]Owari no Nai Yūki (Never Ending Mirage[/b] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]Rank:[/b][indent]B[/indent] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]Range:[/b][indent]Short[/indent] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]Description:[/b][indent]The user begins a series of increasingly fast strikes. None of them are particularly powerful to help keep the opponent close by. Each attack is followed by an afterimage, timed to make it feel like there is a constant stream of attacks landing. While most of the attacks used in this technique are random the final attack is always a sidekick that has more force behind it. [/indent] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]Weaknesses:[/b][indent]Same as any other melee. Since the individual attacks are not thrown at full strength the series would be easy to weather if someone blocked from the start. In addition with his current reserves and stamina he would be winded after using this jutsu and significantly slower.[/indent][/indent] [b]Shinkirouken: Mieken (Mirage Fist: Triple Punch)[/b] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]Rank:[/b][indent]C[/indent] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]Range:[/b][indent]Short[/indent] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]Description:[/b][indent]Tadasu strikes out at his opponent with a single punch, which is followed shortly after by two afterimages. Unlike some of his attacks there is very little delay between the creation of the afterimages and the initial punch. It leaves little time to block them, though given his skill level they aren’t as powerful as the first hit.[/indent] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]Weaknesses:[/b][indent]Being outside of his arm reach is the easiest way to nullify the attack. In addition if you block the first punch you are practically guaranteed to block the next two since there is minimal delay.[/indent][/indent] [/hider]
