[hider=J, formerly Jaden Bernes] [u][b]Theme A:[/b][/u] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAKq3VN_o2o]Wave of Babies by Animals As Leaders[/url] [u][b]Name:[/b][/u] Previously named Jaden Bernes. Currently named J [u][b]Titles:[/b][/u] (To Be Determined) [u][b]Gender:[/b][/u] Male [u][b]Age:[/b][/u] 0 [u][b]Affiliation:[/b][/u] Kumogakure [u][b]Physical Description:[/b][/u] Currently, J is a dark-skinned boy with stark black hair, and black eyes. [u][b]Personality:[/b][/u] In his life as Jaden; he was described as a no-nonsense boy who never suffered fools or bullies. This tendency was to the point of even lashing out at adults when he felt they exhibited these traits. He was a young man of intense focus, and unwavering will. But, this can make him somewhat stubborn, and quietly rebellious. Jaden seemed driven by an intense impulse to push his limits. He loved adventure, and could sometimes be an adrenaline junkie. His previous dream was to travel the world; experiencing different cultures, finding new challenges, and seeing as much as life had to offer as he could. This is not to say Jaden was always impulsive. In fact, Jaden usually wouldn’t act without carefully considering the situation. Despite his intensely serious exterior; Jaden sharpened his tongue with sarcastic dry wit, and a satirical, absurdist sense of humor. He especially loved to roast “edgelords” and “drama queens”, as he found them insufferable. Finally, Jaden was often earnest and honest: He always tries to do right by people, and has a strong sense of morality. He lived by the maxim "Fix what is broken". However, this drive to do “The Right Thing”, and need to think things through could lead him to thought paralysis. [u][b]Short Biography:[/b][/u] Since a young age; Jaden Bernes had wanted to be a ninja. They just seemed to be the complete package: Skilled in all things, able to go anywhere, and do anything. So, when his parents signed him and his reluctant brother up for a martial arts school; it was like a dream come true. By age 13, Jaden received his black belt in KaJuKenBo, and earned the Arrow Of Light badge when he transitioned from Cub Scout to Boy Scout. His life was a hectic one; from dealing with a bullying conspiracy at school, to rivalries between Dojo, to camping trips turned survival gauntlets. At 19, Jaden was on his way to Hawaii to test for his 2nd Dan belt. Unfortunately, the pre-flight check for his plane wasn’t as thorough as it should’ve been. They were halfway there when a stray lightning bolt caused an engine explosion. When Kami grabbed Jaden’s spirit, he wondered why it was his and not one of the numerous people praying. Still, when he learned of the situation; he laughed. Jaden was familiar with Naruto, and had occasionally dabbled in it. It seems his childhood dream would come true; and all he had to do was die!
