4 months into this hole 'being a responsible adult thing' and I've come to a conclusion: It sucks and I want to go back to the days where I didn't have to plan out my game time.

Was supposed to be productive tonight. . . will try to be productive in the morning
A guild war between (what I assume to be)Frenzy Plant and Shadow Heart . . . and interesting idea that would undoubtedly result in high casualties . . . which means more food for Nidhogg, plus all the fun of a full out war. Nidhogg gives his seal of approval on this hypothetical plan that'll probably never happen. Maybe.
As Argus rose to a kneeling position, his eyes flickered not only upon the destruction he had wrought upon his surroundings, but also the expressions on the faces of the two guild members that were present, seeing the fear they had, a sight that was often seen whenever he had these attacks. He looked down, preparing himself for the inevitable dismissal that usually came with such emotions . . . only to look up slightly confused as the blue haired man spoke to him.
They . . . they aren't going to make me leave?
As Argus listened to Joakim's words, he saw the logic in why they wouldn't let him go . . . but he could also sense the honest desire to help from this individual, at least. He was quite for a bit, eyes cast down to his attire, grateful that the clothes they had thrown on him hadn't been overtly affected by his outburst. However, they did show a little too much for his liking, as is hand instantly went to cover the scars along his wrists, a feeling of shame, embarrassment, and anger rising up inside of him for a moment before he pushed it down. Now wasn't the time to let his emotions get the best of him, not when people were trying to help and understand his predicament. He took a slow breathe, which quickly hitched in pain as he tried to move the fingers on his bad hand, having forgotten about the injury.
For a second, he pondered pouring his magic into the wound to speed up the healing process again, but decided against it, not wanting to use it right now after what had just occurred. Besides, the pain helped keep his mind somewhat above his emotions, if only a little bit. Still he stayed silent, unsure of how to respond to the ice mage question.
". . . I honestly don't know how you, or anyone, can help with this, but maybe telling you where I got it would be a start." Argus lifted his head to look Joakim in the eyes, his own crimson and black orbs filled with hesitation as he opened and closed his mouth several times trying to find a way to broach the subject without giving too much away about his past, before just giving up. I can't just keep this from them . . . not now.
"I found this magic when I was twelve, locked away behind the words of a tome that I thought I'd found by chance while attempting to escape from a dark guild called King's Fall. I'd been a slave for them for as long as I could remember, one of many. It was just what I needed to free myself, a book of ancient magic that I could use to free me and my . . . my sister from that hellhole." Argus seemed barely able to choke out the mention of his sister, tears building up in his eyes before he wiped them away, focusing again on telling the story. "I think, in the depths of my mind, I knew that the power the book promised with it's whispers was and costly, but at that point . . . I didn't think anything could be worse than the hell I was currently living. So I took the book from it's place, and was suddenly hit by a violent convulsion as tendrils of energy sprouted from the depths of it's pages and plunged themselves into my body. The last thing I remember seeing . . . was the book dispersing into thin air."
"From that day onward, I'd would e able to call out to the book at will, so I could read up on and practice the spells it was revealing to me. However, it never felt fast enough, and eventually I hit a road block where the book refused to show me more. By this point, I'd been studying it for 4 years, and while I was able to increase my own physical capabilities and applications, the magic I wanted was out of my reach. Until one day, where it was revealed to me that I was led to the book, and worse yet, that the dark guild wanted the beast to be truly unleashed. They wanted to awaken the magic of the book fully, and to do that, they need me truly enraged."
"So they gave me an ultimatum . . . kill my friends or stand by as my sister was killed. I don't know how long I stood there, a knife thrust into my hands and my 3 closest friends staring me down, all of them pleading for me not to do it. All except for one." Once again, Argus found himself at a loss for words tears once again threaten to burst from his eyes. He lowered his head to the ground, clasping it between his head as his entire body shook. "Sara looked at me with nothing but faith, thinking that I'd never be able to do such a thing. She always believed in me, cheered me on, was there for me whenever I needed her. The pain and betrayal in her eyes when I plunged the dagger into her chest . . . there aren't any words to describe how much I hated and cursed myself for my selfishness and weakness. The others were no easier, and when I was finished with the deed, I wanted to take the dagger and shove into my own neck. I thought nothing could make me feel more dead inside . . . and then I heard the head guard order is men to kill my sister anyway. I turned around just as the deed was done, seeing nothing but pain, horror, and disappointment in her eyes as she breathed her last.'
"And then the power I craved from the beginning rushed into me, followed soon by such an intense feeling of ice cold fury and hatred. It was all encompassing, transforming my body and soul to fit it's dark purposes, before launching me towards the guards. They had terrorized me for years, and yet with the new power I acquired, they fell like dominos. The next thing I knew . . . I was outside, the hidden guild hall behind me set ablaze with Azure flames. And then I fell to the ground and screamed until my throat was blood . . . then I screamed some more."
Argus stayed down, not wanting to look up at the two, knowing the must be utterly disgusted with him. "I'm nothing but scum, a weakling who can't even control or fight against his own magic. You'd probably be better off killing me right now . . . it'd save you the trouble. I've been fighting these dark thoughts and feelings for so long, and even though you say that there is no such thing as evil magic, I can't help but feel that that's exactly what this magic is. Pure destructive evil that wants nothing more than to set the world aflame in the fires of hatred. I've tried and tried to rid myself of it, but nothing works and the book no longer comes to me. It's like you say . . .I'm cursed . . . cursed to ruin the lives of those around me because of my weakness. This power cannot protect, cannot defend, cannot save nor rescue, it can only destroy and disfigure. So tell me, how do you help someone as worthless as I am? Cause I truly don't know, and I've long given up hope on finding an answer."
“Uhhh . . . Never Give up? That's a good motto, right?”
Tatsuya is tall at around 6'2, and has a rather muscular upper body due to his work in the forge. His hands and arms are covered with numerous scars, burns and callouses due to the work he does every day, but he wears them with pride as they are the symbol of all his hard work. His red eyes come from his father, and shiny red hair comes from his mother. He also has a tattoo on his upper right arm of Ketsui lodged in the mouth of an active volcano. He got it the day he became a Genin as a symbol to never forget the determination it took to get him there, so that no matter how long the road to greatness looked, he'd never give up.
His normal clothing style is usually a plain white T-shirt, some jeans and steel toed boots( a nessecity in his profession). He sometimes where a jacket if it;s cold enough for one, but more often than not, that's it for his casual wear. His combat outfit is a black, long sleeve shirt, a jacket over that, black combat pants and shinobi sandals.

【Fighting style】 Tatsuya is a more weapon-based fighter, specialized in Kenjutsu mostly, as that is the weapon he uses most often, and has the most skill in using. That being said, his Taijutu is serviceable enough that he's not completely defenseless without his weapons, but it'll only do him so well for so long, especially against a skilled Taijutsu fighter. His Ninjutsu is also quite good, with a focus on controlling the battlefield rather than simply blasting his opponents away.
Up close, Tatsuya is a very good fighter, but he often has issues against distance opponent unless he can figure out a way to get them to come to him. He can either uses his jutsu to force his foe closer, or takes the battle to them instead. When it comes to using his Kekkei Genkai, he can sometimes use it to distract his opponents by making the ground underneath their feet really hot via forming lava just below the surface. A sneaky, but effective strategy, especially when facing an enemy of a higher skill level than him, as that split second distraction could give him just the edge he needs to either escape, or end a fight.
【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Lava Release Description: The lava release is a very versatile Kekkei Genkai that has multiple variations and abilities depending on how one uses it. For Tatsuya, he bears an affinity for manipulating volcanic materials like as Magma making a very, very deadly opponent to go up against. His Lava attacks can change the very battlefield, giving him a good amount of Offensive, defensive, and crowd controlling abilities. An added plus to this ability is that one can convert certain earth-style techniques into Lava style ones, at the cost of an increased chakra cost.
With some practice, Tatsuya has also been able to create a rubber-like material as well, which he can change the consistency of his chakra to make it work as an adhesive. While he's not skilled enough with it yet to use it in battle, in time it could add to his crowd control and supportive abilities.
Tatsuya himself suffers no ill effects from his use of this ability, and seems to have a bit of heat resistance as well, though not enough to make a real difference against a fire jutsu(this doesn't include his own lava, which he's immune to). It's a neat party trick for him to snuff out a cigarette on with his hands, but that's about it. Strengths: The lava style is a highly variable ability, granting nearly unparalleled offensive capability, effective defenses, and crowd control capabilities. Weaknesses: Lava attacks can be effectively countered by a strong enough Water attack, cooling down the magma into rock. Also, this ability is highly destructive, endangering both friend and foe if Tatsuya isn't careful about what abilities he uses and how he uses them.
Jutsu Name: Doton: Ishi Yoroi no Ude (Earth Release: Stone Bracers) Rank: D Range: Self Description: By taking dirt and rubbing it on their arms or legs, after performing the necessary hand seals, a shinobi is able to create very durable defensive bracers that add extra protection when using the arms to block. The chakra that is infused in them help to soften the blows of any physical attacks. These are very useful for taijutsu users or to defend against an onslaught of upper body blows. These bracers are designed to block physical attacks only. However, by channeling Yoton Chakra into the Jutsu, the rocks and what not can heat up to a degree that while the burns they cause are minor, they can be extremely painful and distracting to the opponent.
Jutsu Name: Tsuchi Tou Tou (Swift Earth) Rank: D, B with the addition of Yoton chakra/used with his Lava Creation Jutsu Range: Current range would be 10 meter at maximum, with 2 meter width, and the earth moves at high speeds Description: When performing this jutsu the user places his hands on the ground and causes it to move rapidly away as if it were a conveyor belt. As the shinobi increases in skill and rank the size, speed, and range of this jutsu all increase. While little more than a delaying tactic, if mixed with Lava Creation, it can create a rather deadly surge of lava heading straight toward the target at high speeds.
Jutsu name Lava Style: Lava Creation Rank: B Range: 2 meters in diameter for the starting point Description: The user will first channel chakra into the ground, thus turning the ground to lava. The process is quick, as the ground will melt away into the liquid-like lava. This lava can be used to aid in his other lava based jutsu by creating a source which he can manipulate, instead of creating it himself. To increase the base area that is converted, the user must have both of his hands in contact with the ground.
Jutsu Name Lava Style: Lava Spray Rank: B Range: Mid Description: After making the needed handseals, Tatsuya builds up Lava Style chakra inside of his gut before blasting out a jet of molten lava into the air, causing a dangerous and widespread rain of lava droplets to fall to the ground. The spread of this jutsu makes it nearly impossible to dodge, though it can be blocked if the foe has the capability. Alternatively, Tatsuya can also just fire the magma jet directly at the foe in a fast moving stream.
Jutsu Name Lava Style: Weapon Creation Rank: D Range: Any active Lava source with in 30 meters Description: The user of this jutsu will first channel chakra into an active source of lava, which will cause it to rise up quickly and making the lava thicker then usual, allowing the user to then mold it into a weapon with a few simple gestures. The weapons created will be about as hard as steel, but are usually rather crude and blunt.
Jutsu Name Katon: Nenshou Tosshin (Fire Release: Burning Rush) Rank: C Range: Sphere goes is 2 meters long in diameter Description: A two-part technique in which the user blocks an attack by creating a sphere of fire around themselves, and after blocking the attack, the fires converge on his arms, upper body, and his feet to cloak him in flames. The fire on his feet can be used twice to launch him at his foes somewhat faster than before, and the flame on his hands and upper body make his Taijutsu more damaging due to being wreathed in flame, making it so that his attacks can inflict 2nd degree burns on the subject and get through most forms of clothing. The effect lasts for about 3 posts.
Jutsu Name Lava Style: Grand Magma Dragon Technique Rank: A Range: Close to Mid Description: A versatile and powerful trump card in Tatsuya's arsenal, this jutsu is a last resort technique in most cases due to the high chakra cost. After making the needed handseals, Tatsuya slams his hands into the ground, causing the ground behind him to split as a large amount of hot volcanic rock burst from the ground. The rock quickly takes shape into the fearsome head of a dragon made from rock and magma, which will then let out a roar of dominance as it circles around the Tatsuya defensively.
The dragon is extremely sturdy able to tank through most jutsu of equal rank without dispersing, and the ways it can mess up a foe's day are wide and varied. While it can go the normal route and crash into the foe in an onrush of heated rock and lava, it can also launch a variety of projectile attacks, such as explosive balls of volcanic rock that can explode into fiery shrapnel, shoot out jets of liquid lava that not only can be dangerous to the touch, but also be used to back an enemy into a corner and cut off escape roots, fire a barrage of small lava pellets that are difficult to dodge and cause intense searing pain and first degree burns if they make contact with a foe, as well as self-destructing itself while doing a charge, causing a rather large explosion as a result. The first and final attacks will immediately end the jutsu, and the projectile attacks will weaken the construct if used multiple times, causing it to become more fragile, and also leaving it with less material to launch at the foe.
This jutsu can last around 3 posts, making it work as an effective defensive jutsu, though repeated hits will weaken it's overall defensive capabilities, unless they're Water Style techniques. While these will nullifying its offensive capabilities, it will also strengthen the defenses by solidifying the magma, though it won't be able to move and intercept threats to Tatsuya.
After using initiating this technique, Tatsuya will be hit with a great deal of fatigue, making him unable o effectively dodge or otherwise move quickly for about 1-2 posts after this attack, nor will he be able to use his shield that well due to the having very little chakra left. After its use. Even after the cooldown, Tatsuya will be left greatly weakened by this jutsu, thus why it's his last resort trump card. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Tool Name: Bag of Dirt Description Enough said
Weapon Name: Ketsui Weapon Type A double-edged Bastard Sword Description Ketsui is the sword that Tatsuya had to make to be allowed to become a shinobi by his father, a blade of unquestionable quality and a showing of true talent and hard work to be made by one as young as him. NOt only does it have a keen edge and made from durable metal, but during the forging process(where a mix of traditional and modern techniques were applied) he inscribed special seals into the metal to give it an extra function. The blade could now store elemental chakra with in itself and circulate it through the blade more effectively, enabling it to more effectively take on the aspects of whatever element it pumped into it. This also makes it capable of forming advanced chakra natures, such as Tatsuya's own Lava Release, with remarkable ease. And since it's able to store chakra as well, that means that one can fully charge it before a mission and activate and deactivate the seals inside with a simple one handed seal and a little chakra.
Chakra effects: Fire: The blade is wreathed in a thin, but intense veil of fire, allowing it to cut through metals with only moderate difficulty and cause third degree burns.
Earth:The blade becomes denser and more durable
Lava: The Blade becomes as Hot as Molten Lava, cutting through metal with ease as well as getting a slight increase in durabilty
The charge is big enough that it can keep the blade active for a total of 5 posts. The Lava style requires more chakra, however, so he can only hold that for about 3 posts instead of 5.
Tool Name: The Mark II Chakra Gauntlet Description This slightly bulky metal gauntlet holds some moderately complex hardware to make a more versatile version of the chakra shields used by the puppet-nin of the sand. It has a small disk-like object above the wrist which projects an energy shield around itself using the users chakra, and while the cost for maintaining the shield is low, the cost increases when blocking an attack. The stronger the attack, the more chakra it takes to defend against. At his current level, Tatsuya could defend against an A rank jutsu, though the action will leave him feeling somewhat fatigued afterwards. The chakra shield can be enlarge or shrunk at a moment's notice, and can even be launched along with the disc to make a decent weapon or a distraction. The projection disc is detachable, and Tatsuya usually keeps 3 extra's handy just in case. Tatsuya only has the one gauntlet, as it's still a relatively new piece he made in conjunction with his mother.
Tool Name: First Aid Kit Description A basic medical kit that holds several chakra pills, first aid supplies
Weapon name: Shuriken Description: Sharpened, four-pronged metal stars, useful for throwing. They can also be used for close combat, but not very efficiently. Although small, they can be used to distract, pin down enemy shinobi, or if accurate enough, can kill or incapacitate an enemy. They have an open circle in the centre, useful for grabbing with a finger, to avoid cutting oneself, or to put thread through. The circle is also beneficial to the weapon's overall aerodynamics, ensuring more accurate trajectories.
Weapon name: Kunai Description: A black dagger with a handle wrapped in bandages and a small ring attached to the end of it. The kunai is designed for thrusting and stabbing, though it can still do some damage if thrown despite not being designed for it, and is about the length of one's hand.
Weapon name: Explosive tags Description: These tiny slips of paper with seals drawn on them can pack quite a punch if used correctly, and can even be attached onto an enemy directly. Also can be attached to thrown kunai for accurate delivery or have a bunch wrapped into a ball for a more devastating payload.
Medical secrecy applies.
【Personality】 Tatsuya is an honest and sociable sort, one who believes that the best way to get something is to earn it through the sweat of your brow and the strength of your will. He's very open in both mind and personality, accepting of pretty much everyone, and at times a bit too forgiving, which people have taken advantage of in the past and probably will continue to do so in the future. However, don't take that as him being slow witted or foolish, as his mind is as sharp as the blades he forges, and he has a keen intuition, honed by years of attending his family's shop, for picking out when people are lying to him or trying to pull the wool over his eyes. He tries his best to remain courteous with all kinds people, but he's no pushover, and if you don't back off nicely, he will make you back off, whether it be through words or actions.
Tatsuya is also a bit of an artist, putting his experience in the forge into various metalworking projects and sculptures. While he's not terrible, it's obvious to see that e's still trying to find his niche with the art, as every piece is very different from one another, and he has yet to see one he particularly likes yet. He's also good at drawing, but that kind of a necessity when making designs for weapons, armors, and other such works, but he does sometimes take time out of his busy days to just relax and draw the world around him, mostly just random people on the street who catch his interest.
While usually rather humble and modest, Tatsuya takes great pride in what he calls his true art form, forging weapons and armors of his own that have a cool style while still remaining practical in use. He treats every work like a piece of art, and has also taken to learning several weapon types, because he always feels that if he knows how to use the weapon himself, he can better forge it for his customers. His favorite type of weapon is the sword, but he's also learned how to effectively use other weapons, such as the staff, spear, and Naginata.
【History】 Tatsuya's father comes from a clan of reknowned blacksmiths that originated from Mizu no kuni. They were known as the Kajiya Clan, and it's said that it was members of their clan responsible for forging the blades of the Seven Ninja swordsman. However, sometime after the rise of the Seventh Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki, a faction of the clan separated from the main branch and left Mizu no kuni, for reason's that very few outside the clan know about. The faction soon splintered off from each other, settling in several different lands across the world, keeping the name of their clan where ever they go to show that they still pride themselves in their linage.
His father, Katsuo, was born and raised in Konoha, living there for 17 years before he decided to travel to Kirigakure in order to find out more about his heritage. It was there were he met his wife-to-be, Katsumi Terumi. She was an eccentric inventor, and often considered to be the black sheep of her clan due to her . . . odd mannerisms. While the two didn't get along when they first met, their mutual love to create eventually formed into a relation ship, and after a 5 years, Katsuo returned home with Katsumi to Konoha with her father's blessing, where they were to be happily married 3 years later.
Fast forward 10 years in the future to the birth of Tatsuya, their second child and first born son. Tatsuya's early years where tough at first, as he was a rather weak baby, but he pulled through, eventually growing healthy and strong without any complications. Tatsuya soon spent a great amount of time with both of his parents in their respective workshops, and while he tended to lean towards his dad's work then his mother's, he found both of them interesting. As soon as he was able, he would assist them in every endeavor they undertook, no matter how small a task they gave him to do. His family was a happy and connected one, for the most part.
The only real conflict ever presented before him was his father's staunch resolve to deny him from becoming a shinobi. Katsuo had seen both his father and brother become shinobi, only to die meaningless deaths and only him and his mother around to mourn them, and he didn't want Tatsuya to become just another forgotten grave in the cemetery, killed before his time because he was nothing but a pawn for the Confederation to use at their leisure. Tatsuya, on the other hand, was adamant about it, wanting it more than anything else. Finally, Katsuo agreed to let the boy become a shinobi, but only if he could make a weapon that would impress him, and not a second before. The task was seemingly impossible for a then 10-year old Tatsuya, but he went at the challenge with a determination that blazed liked a wildfire.
Using Kajiya sealsmithing techniques, as well as his own talent and skill with the tools available to him, he worked on numerous weapons, each a good viable weapon, but never reaching Katsuo's standards until one day, 4 years into the agreement, when he presented Ketsui to his father. The blade was spectacular, it's functions both practical and unique to it. It was a weapon deserving of the name Kajiya, and true to his word, Katsuo finally allowed Tatsuya to be a Shinobi, though he still doesn't like the idea.
Katsuo Kajiya | 51 | Father, Reknowned blacksmith and owner of the Kajiya Weapon Store, where Quality is guaranteed, located somewhere in Minato City
Katsumi Kajiya-Terumi| 53 | Mother, An intelligent weapon maker, she's fallen into depression after the destruction of her homeland, and though it has had some breaks, the sadness always returns in the end
Manami Kajiya-Terumi | 26 | Sister, Works at the shop full time and is currently working as an apprentice under her father.
【Dreams and fears】 Tatsuya dreams of one day making a weapon that is on par with that of those of the Seven Ninja swordsman, as well as becoming a reknowned shinobi that would be an inspiration for others. Tatsuya somewhat fears his Kekkei Genkai, as he's afraid that he might accidentally hurt, and even kill someone one day due to him not being able to control it properly.
