Characterization
Physical Description
Standing at around 5'10, most would say that Juuko is the kind of guy that honestly doesn't stand out too much in a crowd. His features are distinctive, all hard angles around a somewhat feral looking half-grin with playful golden eyes, but he still manages to fade into the background in any bar or seedy den of ill respute. he dresses informally, in whatever he can grab, and does very little to care for his appearance aside from the bare minimum, often sporting a five o'clock shadow due to eithe r forgetting or not bothering to consistently shave it down.
Physically, however, he is surprisingly fit for someone as seemingly ill-kept with a body made of lean muscle that had been toned by decades of exercise, training, and fieldwork. His dark black hair suits him well, drawing little attention in any place he goes, and despite his somewhat intimidating bearing at times, it's easy for most to gain, if not comfort in his presence, at least toleration. He blends in easily to any environment he finds himself in, sitting near the back with a drink in one hand and a smile on the other as if welcoming an old friend.

Personality & Prestige
Many would say that Juuko is sociopathic, bereft of any idea of right or wrong and willing to do whatever is asked of him without question so long as he gets to kill something. Those people would be wrong, but he can't blame them for seeing him in that light. Long ago, when the Civil War began, Juuko realized that the veneer of glory and patriotism that people described the life of a shinobi was made with pure, unadulterated bullshit. And rather than try to clean to a fake ideal, Juuko decided that the only proper way to get by in life was to simply accept the hand he had been dealt and do his best to enjoy life as he did so. When he's not working, Juuko likes to party, to drink, to drown himself in just about any vice he can find. Any attempts to shame him fall on deaf ears and he often ridicules those in his profession that like to profess and shield themselves in such values.
When it comes to work, however, Juuko turns into another man entirely, so much so that most who see both sides of him find themselves suffering from an intense sense of whiplash. On the job, Juuko is an efficient machine, a silent hunter that plans for every eventuality watches his prey for 50 days so that he can capitalize on the one day they make a mistake, a man that does anything and everything to ensure his mission succeeds. Casualties do not matter unless his job is to avoid them, and in many cases, no tactic is considered off the table unless explicitly told as such. But despite the rumors that say he revels in his work, despite the way that he even talks about some brutal jobs after the fact, he never seems to enjoy what he does in the moment. In fact, every moment on the job seems to bring him little more than a pained expression.

Characterization
Physical Description
Ena is a young man, around 5'1 in terms of height and possessing an athletic build due to his intense focus on the perfection of his craft as a swordsman. He can usually be found wearing fine clothes such suits, vests, slacks, loafers, and so on when not engaged with his active shinobi duties, as it is to be expected for an Uzumaki to always look his best. His hair is always immaculately brushed, his teeth are as clean and white as can be, and every part of him speaks to a highly tailored image of perfection. . . all except his eyes. When you look into his gilded eyes, one can tell that not all is right with the young Uzumaki. No smile ever reaches them, and it is only when he grows angered by an insult to his skills or his clan that anything besides a cold hollowness occupies them. It is a well-maintained and well-practiced mask that Ena wears and rare is the person who he willing drops it for.
Personality & Prestige
Ena is a boy who's been giving everything he's ever wanted. A child who has been put on a pedestal his whole life, that has been expected to be one of the very best that the Uzumaki has to offer, a child that has had his every flaw and discrepancy ruthlessly picked over and critiqued. Despite the privilege and pampering that one would expect of one in his position as a scion of one of the more powerful(if not the most powerful, as they like to claim) clans within the elemental nations, to say the Ena's life was an easy one would be a grave mistake.
Due to this upbringing, the boy has a very high opinion of himself and his hard-earned skills, but this pride easily and harshly crumples into frustration and anger upon meeting even the smallest complication. This shows especially when he comes across people who don't respect his skills or the perceived prestige of his clan. While he is too well-trained to let these emotions fully surface, oftentimes those who draw his ire can find themselves the target of strange misfortunes in the form of a number debatably cruel pranks plaguing their day-to-day life for sometime after the slight was given. As such, even if he is all smiles and polite words, most that meet Ena come to see him as an untrustworthy, vindictive and arrogant brat that refuses to be humbled.
However, there are times when the softer sides of Ena's personality comes through, few and far between as they tend to be. While his arrogance does, in fact, know no bounds, when push comes to shove, he can be persuaded(as he puts it) to accept an alternate point of view. Slowly, his time in Konoha has helped him. . . ease up. He'd be lying if he said he didn't feel much less pressure in his current environment than back in his home. That being the case, he still struggles to truly connect with anyone as the barriers he's put up all his life still hold strong, even if he does wish it could often be otherwise. Alas, his caretaker is often times the small reminder he needs to remember his place in the world, what he means to his clan, and most of all, his duties to them. To ask for any other kind of life is a childish notion, and to foster it for even a second is a poison to the mind.

Origin
Ena was not allowed a childhood. Since the moment he was born, he was considered not as a person, but as a symbol. Of National Pride, of Purity, of the prestige and power of the clan. He was not raised by his parents and would not be able to tell someone who they even were if pressed. For as long as he lived, he had been passed by a number of impartial, cold mentors whose job was not to raise him but to teach him to be the very best he could be. From one day to the next, it was just a non-stop deluge of lessons from harsh, strict adults who never had the patience for his childish needs.
You may not cry, you may not complain, you may not yell, you may not scream, all these rules and more were heaped upon him as a way to help him learn the control to handle the curse of his bloodline. They were tried and true methods to shut down and control the bestial nature that every Uzumaki struggled with. . . or so was the explanation that Ena was given whenever he questioned his treatment. And so it was that Ena grew up practically alone, the first time he ever truly interacted with someone in a way that wasn't strictly someone trying to teach him was when he first met his instructor in the Whirling Blades Style. While an Uzumaki in name, the man had been born outside of the compound, had lived outside of the interlaced matrices of Fuinjutsu that kept them separated from the outside world for hundreds of years. To this day, Ena does not know how the man was ever allowed inside the village, but it was with this man that the boy found the closest thing he could call a father figure. He was truthful and direct when so may others only spoke in distant half-tones, he was empathetic while others were cold, and while he couldn't show it as often as Ena would've liked due to the constant supervision they were under at nearly all times. . . he cared for Ena. Genuinely cared for him, for who Ena was and not just for what Ena represented as a pureblood Uzumaki.

Character Development & Conceptualization
For Ena, I'm imagining a boy whose struggling to find himself in life, trapped between two sides of himself. On one hand, he wants to prove his Clan proud and has a deep respect for the traditions of Uzushio. But on the other hand, he can't help but feel those same traditions have become stifling for him, and despite the best intentions of his elders, he can't help but feel anything but anxiety and stress whenever he thinks about his position in the world, of the immense responsibility he has to his Clan, and to the way his entire future seems to already have been set of him. It pushes him to rebel against these conventions, but whether or not that's what he needs or what will bring him happiness is something that will have to be seen as the RP goes forward.
It certainly doesn't help that his bloodline proves to make holding his temper even harder than is normal for a boy his age, and every time he denies himself the chance to really let loose and lash out, he can't help but ask: Why not? Why shouldn't he just wreck everything if it gives at least some release to the immense pressure he feels building inside of him every day.

Attributes
Talents & Abilities
Uzumaki Fuinjutsu Practioner: As an Uzumaki, it is only natural that Ena is well-versed in the complexities of the art of fuinjutsu. While his time away from his former mentors have left him wanting somewhat in terms of learning more of the Uzumaki specific applications, his time in Konoha has not been entirely fruitless as the vast libraries present in the village have allowed him to keep up his own self-study at an appreciable pace in other areas of his fuinjutsu skill. Applications of his fuinjutsu mastery include the ability to form nearly any basic sealing tags, as well as the formation of rather powerful explosive tags.
Aside from combat applications, Ena is more than capable of devising sealing formulas to assist in a number of unforeseen ways if given time to study the issue, including but not limited seals that can help to assist in the regulation of chakra circulation, seals to drive away fatigue, and even a seal that can serve to bind a weakened target by assaulting their very nervous system, though the time and preparation needed to perform it makes it impossible to use in a combat scenario.
Skilled Kenjutsu Practioner: An oddity amongst the Uzumaki, Ena has chosen to become a swordsman, rather than taking to the more accepted Kusarigama that the Uzumaki is often none to employ in tandem with their seals to confound and disable their foes. Instead, Ena assaults his foe with acrobatic and flashy forms, relying on the natural gifts and aggression granted by his Uzumaki blood to let him overwhelm his opponent and ultimately control the direction of the fight. On top of this skillful use of blades, he is able to decently hold his own win hand to hand combat using similar principles, but certainly not to the same extent as he is with them.
Pure blooded Uzumaki: A product of very careful breeding and intermixing of the Uzumaki bloodline, Ena is considered an Uzumaki of truly pureblood, an honor that comes with drastic benefits and downsides. While gifted with the expected Uzumaki traits of large reserves of chakra and stamina, powerful life energy, and a talent for fuinjutsu, as well as the likelihood of eventually being able to manifest the vaunted Enishi-no-Kusari, the chain that is able to bind spirits and beings of chakra with great ease that make these Uzumaki a force to be feared. But along with this, these Uzumaki are subjected to much stronger instincts from the curse of their bloodlines.
Their rages are fiercer, their tempers like that of a wild animal that seeks to tear everything before it to shreds. As such, Ena had been placed under strict supervision and discipline since both to ensure that he's able to main control of his blood and not the other way around. Despite this, however, Ena often finds himself struggling daily to contain his outbursts and emotions, both to appease his fellow clan members and to keep the darker side of himself at bay. But it often irritates him to no end that he must even keep up the facade. Often times, he finds himself wondering what it would be like to simply. . . let go of his grip and truly let the built-up aggression and savagery out upon the world at large.
Calculated Awareness: Due to his preferred method of combat, Ena has developed his senses and perceptive capabilities to keep him attune to his environments in full, giving him an excellent sense of spatial awareness and allowing him to quickly memorize the layouts of any place he's been to and create a mental map that is hardly ever inaccurate. even in maze-like environments, he proves able to easily backtrack his steps without any hesitation.
Planning: More than anything else, Ena is a planner and he likes to account for as many variables as he can when orchestrating a plan of attack or defense. If given enough time, Ena is able to come up with rather devilish schemes that are befitting his Uzumaki heritage, making use of fuinjutsu, environment, and even his own allies to tray and lure his foes into springing his deviously laid traps.
