My bad man ^.^" just wasn't sure if it would have been okay to take control the outcome with little Namor II. So I figured better to play it safe than sorry since Kid is driving this particular arc for now.
Change the red text in descriptions back to gray, plz.
Also, do note I changed starting genin having the ability to have a B Rank, so that will have to be adjusted as well.
Done and done. Once you have time to get around to a more in depth review lemme know if you wants me to change or remove anything. Other than that all that is left is the Clan History, which I'll be waiting on @Archangel89 to complete since I need his/her input aaaaaand I don't have much of an idea of what to actually do.
Oh and the relation/influence which I need to know a team so I can enter than and again, talking with Arch I need the names of parents or other family members and the like ^.^"
Soooooo, this is mostly complete, though it still needs some work. However, since @Archangel89 put up theirs I figured I should throw up mine for good measure and because he won't just get better if I just edit without getting some other opinions.
A rather plain looking individual, save for his choice of clothing, Kenjiro is a rather plain looking individual. He stands at a measly 4'8" tall with rather unkempt black hair he isn't really one to stand out in a crowd. In addition to his usual, somewhat odd for a ninja, choice of clothing (which may or may not be the result of a subconscious need for attention he doesn't always get at home) one is likely to see a ninja tool pouch at his waist on his right side, one just above his knee on his left leg, and a black back pack which he uses to carry his larger tools (or simply those that wouldn't fit in his two pouches), as well as other various (not always necessary) things.
PERSONALITY & MOTIVATIONS
There are a great many words that could be used to describe Kenjiro. He is intelligent, hardworking, strong willed, courageous, envious and occasionally reckless. He has always been envious, if not resentful, of his older brother Genji, which was only strengthened when his brother shifted to his more thug like demeanor. Still, with Genji's clear talent and skill, Kenjiro can't help but get annoyed that he is given just about everything he could possibly desire. He doesn't allow these feeling to weigh him down though. Rather, he uses them as fuel pushing himself as hard as possible. He isn't one to back down from a challenge, even if it isn't always necessarily one he can easily overcome. Some may see this as an example of courage and some, like those of his clan, parents included, may see it as recklessness.
Additionally, with so much talk about his brother becoming the next clan head he couldn't help but make it his goal to surpass the, apparent, slacker. Why should he get something just because he was talented by nature or born first? Kenjiro believes that he has worked harder and would make a much better successor than Genji. Regardless, however, of these thoughts those around him aren't likely to see these emotions on the surface. At his core, he loves his clan and village and always put them first. So it's only natural that he keep a slightly more normal attitude. He doesn't act hyperactive or happy-go-lucky, but he isn't the brooding, sullen type either. He's a pretty average guy all around and he uses that to his advantage since most don't expect much from him, enemies and allies alike.
CLAN HISTORY
A rough or detailed recent history of your dynastic clan. For world-building.
PERSONAL HISTORY
From the very beginning Kenjiro was compared to his older brother. The clan had no relative idea as to how the two would grow up, but as his brother was born healthy and strong it was expected of him as well. Still, as the two grew older the differences between them became increasingly apparent. From their appearances to the level of talent, the two were worlds apart. Kenjiro had an overall plain look and seemed to have very little affinity for the life of a shinobi, while Genji seemed to excel in every field possible. It hurt that his parents treated him as less important than his older brother, but no matter what, he couldn't help but admire the older sibling for the work he did.
This would all change, however, for reasons that Kenjiro would never find out (and likely not understand when he did). Genji began to slack in his training, thinking himself to be far superior than those around him, including his little brother. Still, he showed results; far more than Kenjiro. Genji was allowed to do just about anything he wanted. He tormented his younger brother. Furthermore, Kenjiro was never strong enough to hold his own if he did manage to summon the courage to retaliate against his brother. Whether it was at home or in the academy with other students, he had the misfortune of dealing with his older brother.
If that wasn't enough, Kenjiro would also have to deal with aggression from other budding shinobi who would take out their frustrations on him because of Genji's bullying. It didn't matter that he was two years younger. To make matters worse for him, even when he did well, well enough to even manage to make it into the same graduating class as his brother, his joy was diminished, his work ridiculed (typically by Genji, if not by his parents would would still compare him with the older sibling). It was because of this turn of events that Kenjiro would solidify his resolution to surpass his brother.
Kenjiro put all his focus into training. He didn't make many friends in the academy. He never stuck around after classes, never really went out if he could avoid it as well. Rather, he worked with the clan ninja, and his trainers whenever possible, always taking notes and learning about many of the various factors of a fight. He knew he didn't have the raw power, or the chakra pool his brother had, so he put all his focus into three things; his weaponry, his ninjutsu and his chakra control. To many it seemed like he was merely chasing his brother's shadow. Even after graduating the academy there are those who believe this as well. Kenjiro wants so much more than that though. And he's willing to go to any lengths to prove it.

SPECIAL TRAITS
Chakra Control: Kenjiro practiced day and night, studying all he could about chakra and the various techniques that could be utilized in order to learn to properly control, manipulate, manage and make use of his chakra. While he does not have the wealth of chakra his brother has been blessed with, he is more than capable of making good use of the moderately sized pool he does have. Such levels of control can even be compared to that of the Hyuga, though not quite there.
Chakra Flow: With access to some of the best ninja trainers of the village, even before entering the Ninja Academy, Kenjiro questioned various sources for some of the better uses of his chakra. Utilizing this skill he increase the potency of a weapon, or even his own body, by flowing chakra through it. Although he has a ways to go before he could be considered a master of this technique, it is something he has been working on for a while, as sort of shock and awe technique, considering most genin wouldn't be capable of utilizing this skill.
FOCUS & SKILLS
Kenjiro uses his superior chakra control and management to strengthen his weapons and also imbue them with his chakra nature. Additionally, as he is quite meticulous with the use of his weaponry and chakra while in battle he can also employ various ninjutsu in succession while in combat. However, though he has trained hard to get his chakra control to such a high and his focus on ninjutsu and chakra manipulation his taijutsu skills simply do not measure up. Furthermore, his genjutsu skills are practically nonexistent.
Given that information it is understandable that Kenjiro is prone to relying on weaponry and ninjutsu to lessen the gap between him and stronger opponents as he would be at a disadvantage if forced into CQC. He knows that in a contest of brawn he has less of a chance to win. Thus, while he most certainly is not a genius, he chooses to fight smarter. Because of this Kenjiro avoids close quarters combat, opting to use hit and run or diversionary tactics to slow and disorient opponents, whittling them down slowly.
Kenjiro tries to drag out a battle, while also combining the aforementioned skills with mid to long range ninjutsu and other attacks to take them down, attempting to keep himself as safe as possible (though this doesn't always workout).
EQUIPMENT & INVENTORY
Kenjiro typically equips himself with standard ninja tools including, but not limited to, the following:
**The following increments of tools is subject to change on occasion**
There are typically three things that stand out most when somebody sees Seiichi. First, there are the two scars marking his face. Second, there is the one piece tracksuit like outfit he can usually be seen wearing. And third, there are his yellow (golden in the words of his mother) eyes. He stands at roughly 4’11" tall with a fairly muscular, though lean physique as would be expected from somebody who trains as much as him. He also sports a messy head of dark brown, bordering black, hair. Additionally, one is likely to see a ninja tool pouch hung at the right side of his waist and another strapped to his leg just above his left knee. Finally, he can often be seen carrying a navy blue backpack which he uses to carry his larger tools (or simply those that wouldn't fit in his two pouches), as well as other various (not always necessary) things.
PERSONALITY & MOTIVATIONS
There are a great many words that could be used to describe Seiichi. He is intelligent, hardworking, ambitious, and cautious while simultaneously emotional, reckless, and somewhat reclusive; the list could go on. He is never satisfied with his own achievements. He brushes things off believing that he can and should always strive to be better as the next head of the Sarutobi clan.This is most likely due to the high expectations of him, expressed by various members of his clan. He is strong willed, stubborn even, never willing to give up or quit, often pushing his mind and body past his limits. It is very unlike him to try and shy away from or hide his opinion on what he does and does not find acceptable which at times can get him into trouble or cause problems that would otherwise be avoided.
Additionally, because he has had to deal with his fair share of bullies he tends to gravitate more towards animals than people. He also found it simpler to just keep those around his age away from him to avoid further problems. The habit seems to have stuck even after becoming a genin, given his tendency to push people away. He tends to act more on instinct and emotion than logic, a “passion” he would claim to have been inherited from his father. Some things are too important for him to simply let go. As such he can act rather recklessly where certain subjects are concerned. The young man also tends to remain cautious of most new peoples and things he encounters, which can be attributed to his experience with bullies. Still, he doesn’t necessarily see this as a problem as to him that is an important trait for a shinobi.
Seiichi aspires to make a name for himself as a great shinobi. He wishes to surpass his father and even his grandfather, though he doubts he can. At times he can feel somewhat inferior in terms of raw talent, so he works harder to make up for it. When it comes to his goals, he feels the only thing that can get in his way is himself. He isn’t likely to ask for help because he feels it’ll just drag somebody else into his problem. He greatly underestimated himself and his own growth because in his eyes nothing he does is as good as it could be.
CLAN HISTORY
TBA
PERSONAL HISTORY
Seiichi is the son of Sarutobi Atsuo. Being as young as he is, he didn’t get to know his grandfather all that well before he passed away due to old age. However, he heard about him from his father and about his father from other members of the clan. His father was, and still isn’t, one to brag. Thus, Seiichi ended up learning more about the man he held in such high regard from the people around him whenever possible. And the more he learned, the more he felt motivated to become a great shinobi, though his goal never was and likely never would be to become Hokage.
Still, as he grew it became apparent that he was not as talented or skilled as his father or grandfather. He fell behind other members of the clan and others in his age group. He deeloped feelings of inadequacy, which were only strengthened by the expectations of the elders and older members of his clan. He was supposed to be the next head of the clan. How could he properly lead them if he could not live up to the regard with which he was held.
Seiichi tried harder and harder, but for a while the results just weren’t showing. His taijutsu skills were considerably weaker than those around him. He had no genjutsu to speak of and he could hardly use his chakra. While other students made headway in strides he was struggling to properly perform the most basic of techniques. Some people even suggested he give up and shift his focus elsewhere. But he simply couldn’t do it. If he wasn’t a ninja, what was he? The child only had one option in his youth. Work harder.
So, he studied more. He began to learn about chakra to utilize it in the best ways possible. He tested the limits of his chakra reserves. He question other shinobi of his clan, his father included, of the best ways in which to utilize chakra. Eventually, a member of his clan name Hichibi began to help him train under orders from Atsuo. It from Hichibi that he would learn about Chakra Flow and various ways to properly manage and control his chakra. Of course, he couldn’t do this without training, learning and working on his own as Hichibi was not always around to guide him and he understood the demands his father had to meet in order to maintain his position and continue the clan’s legacy as one of the ruling clans of the village.
Even so, to say life was easy for the young Sarutobi would be a slap in the face to his own circumstances. For while it is true he was in a position where he would not want for any material item he was also bullied by some of the children around him. He was seen as weaker and an easier target than many of the other well off children. He was taunted and in some cases attacked. He was called scum, a failure, beaten down because the other children wanted to prove their dominance over a member of one of the villages ruling clans.
Seiichi refused to tell his father or anybody else what was going on. One day though he was attacked. The children went farther than they ever had. The ringleader of the bunch had gotten hold of a tanto. He’d been showing it off and decided the perfect person to test his sword skills on was Seiichi. Other boys held him by his arms, keeping him in place as the young man swung the blade, inching closer to Seiichi with each swipe. One of the group warned him to be careful, but he argued he wouldn’t do anything so stupid.
The boy was wrong of course. Upon his final swing he hit Seiichi, who to this point had been struggling to free himself from the boys. It had felt like an eternity, though in reality the boy had only swung 3 or 4 times before his attack reached the face of the Sarutobi heir. Seiichi cried out in pain. The boys scattered. He was found and taken care of, but when asked about the mark he lied. He couldn’t involve anybody else. His parents shouldn’t have been bothered and he couldn’t show such weakness as the next clan head. The wound healed, but left a scar across his face.
Over the next few weeks, Seiichi trained harder than ever before. He would need to be able to handle himself should another incident occur. And then, he received his second scar. He had been working himself to the bone, anger welling up inside him. He’d progressed considerably in his training to control his chakra and utilize chakra flow. His skills in shurikenjutsu had also increased. Perhaps he had gotten a little full of himself, but during practice he messed up and cut himself on a bad throw while attempting to manipulate the shuriken’s trajectory with wire.
Regardless, the boy moved on. And sure enough he was confronted once more. This time, however, he fought back. He played the long game. He stayed far from them, used the skills he’d been working on. Apart from a few scratches the boys weren’t harmed. However, he was reprimanded when they collectively lied. He knew a bunch of people who knew the truth, but he didn’t fight it. He had technically won after all.
Even up to graduation, there were times when he was faced with bullying. Snide comments, little quarrels. He’d gotten much better at fighting back. He stuck to his plan of not involving others, leaving him without many friends if any at all. But that didn’t matter as long as he became a Shinobi of the village he loved and could make his father proud.

Aburame Koyomi - Aburame-Sensei is nothing if not interesting to Seiichi. He has a tendency to find himself wondering where things will go for him and his teammates under her tutelage. His expectations of her as a Jonin are incredibly high, though he has heard from members of his clan in passing that when it comes to the Jonin of the leaf one should typically expect some level of eccentricity. How bad could it be though?

Change Log: April 30, 2017 - Made adjustments to Personality and added a bit in the way of Relations as far as his family and Koyomi goes. Still need to do Ren and Ten. July 26, 2017 – Decided to revamp Kenjiro. He’ll have a new name, new personality, new background. He will now be Sarutobi Atsuo’s son. I only really changed his name to Seiichi and edited the personality. July 27, 2017 (Just past midnight) – With some help I gave Seiichi a new look (FC). I also looked back and edited the personality again. I asked Grey to look it over for any inconsistencies or contradictions. Removed any mention of Kenjiro or having a brother.All that is left is the History. July 27, 2017 (Evening) - Finished hashing out Seiichi’s history since just about everything else was done. Other minor edits can come later.
@The Kid LanternThe sounds like a name a Spider-Man would make up. Looking at Mile's here. Whether the group thought it was good or not. Although, I do think based on his history, Mile's just might call them the New Champions. Still, The Amazings would work very well for this team. The Challengers? The Marvels? The Renegades? The Omegas? Yeah I think as they are, The Amazings might just be for the best lol XD
@BlackPantherlol Sass pants. All jokes aside though, worry about feeling better before the RP bud
@The Kid LanternWell I was considering it when she was in the water to maybe freeze the beast, but as expected of a battle it's too fast paced for actually planning. Besides as I've written the character til now, with her lack of skill with her ice powers, she likely wouldn't risk it save for a desperate situation. Besides, for her she's thinking what would Johnny do. Her fire is reliable. Her father is reliable. She isn't quite ready step out of her comfort zone just yet XD
But you know, I'm waiting for the right moment. It could possibly happen in this fight, but not quite yet lol
As she sunk into the water, cursing her idiotic charge while Jacob continued the fight Lucinda couldn't help, but grow angrier. How could she be so stupid as to charge head first and allow the monster to smother her flames so easily. Still, as she felt the water around her vibrate she could fancy a guess as to why. "Jacob." She grumbled to herself, bubbles forming from the breath that escapes her lips when she spoke.
But what could she do. The young Inhuman royal growled as fish passed by her. She thought for a moment about utilizing her powers to cool the water around her. But she still had trouble using them. More than that, she wasn't sure she could activate it on a controlled scale. And worst of all. She thought about how embarrassing this was. She had put on this act of bravado. She had acted as though she would handle things and immediately crashed and burned, so to speak.
If all of that wasn't enough... She remembered the face of the Atlantean prince. Smug, arrogant bastard. This will not stand. She thought as her eyes began to glow before she was set ablaze again. She shot out of the water. Any left over water attempting to hang onto her after her emergence would immediately evaporate.
Lucinda was angry. She didn't care what anybody thought or if there was a plan. She charge for the young man who'd been riding the beast, flames stronger and wilder than before, aiming to slam her fist into his chest. Momentum and speed were all on her side. Even if he were to evade she could immediately turn and reposition herself for a follow-up attack in the form of a powerful fire ball.
"I suggest you shield yourselves." She announced to her compatriots in case the Atlantean did manage to avoid not one, but two attacks. If the stories from her father were anything to go by, this would not be easy. And more importantly, they would sure as hell get worse before they got better.
