[*]Always smiling. It’d be unsettling if he wasn’t nice too.
[*]Shadow clone specialist. You’ll never know if you’re talking to the real one.
[*]Anbu captain and solo runner. Pretty well-respected, at least among the people who know of him. [/list][indent][hider=OOC Notes]
[list][*]A descendant of the Senju clan who uses the large chakra reserve he’s inherited as a basis for his skills.
[*]Specializes in both creating and maintaining shadow clones. The exact number depends on how long he expects to keep them around for, but he tends towards utility-based applications.
[list][*]By utilizing clones, Kuu is able to cut down on the amount of time he spends honing skills. This has led him to amass a stunning number of jutsu over the years.
[*]Known for using his clones in a kamikaze fashion, sending them in with [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Heavenly_Punishment]explosive tags[/url] or simply releasing jutsu that damages the user and the area around them.[/list]
[*]One of the foremost members of Konoha’s Anbu forces due to his versatility. Because clones can be created and dispelled instantaneously, he can essentially serve as a one-man team that can pull out on a second’s notice, allowing him to specialize in intel gathering, retrieval, and assassination missions.
[*]Was named “Sora” but took his kanji’s other pronunciation, Kuu, for a nickname. Now uses the name full-time.
[*]A high-ranking member of the Guren, primarily due to his skillset. He serves as a living sort of jutsu compendium, and supports the organization because he feels that bloodshed and sacrifice, in this case of civilians, is necessary for unification of the shinobi nations and later, peace.
[*]His family all gave their lives to Konoha in one way or another, but Kuu harbors no ill will towards his village. He does, however, feel that he should apply his abilities in a way that helps prevent future deaths, hence his joining the Guren. He fights for peace and the hope that someday in the future, children won’t have to lose everyone around them to wars, plots, and petty rivalries. The deaths by his hands, then, are all just a part of the cost of peace because if there’s one thing that so much bloodshed has taught him, it’s that peace is won, not found.[/list][/hider][/indent][/hider]
