Name: Kuriya, Junichi
Age: 14
Gender: Male
Rank: Genin
Appearance:
Ear-length deep red hair, brown eyes and jovial expression give Junichi the typical look you'd expect from a fourteen year-old. He has dark, almost foreboding eyes and wears two rings in his left ear. Despite being only a fresh genin from the ninja academy, he likes to wear clothes resembling the familiar suiting of chuunin and jounin class ninja; A thick, deep green flakvest over a loose dark blue shirt with grey netted vest underneath. He wears his forehead protector on his left, leading arm.
Personality:
Despite his young age, Junichi has a wide variety of moods which shift often, mainly due to his spoilt upbringing. His usual self is reserved and polite, although arrogant and somewhat rude when pestered. He likes to rely on others and feel secure and in control. He is inherently selfish, which makes it hard for him to get along with others. When angered he is rash and often ignores orders in favour of his emotions, something not unnoticed by his peers. He rarely learns from his mistakes, which makes progress through his training tough work as he relentlessly tries and tries again. He dedicates himself completely to any chosen objective and won't hesitate to put his life on the line for his personal gain.
He specializes in ninjutsu and to a lesser extent, taijutsu, but has next to no knowledge of genjutsu techniques at all. He seemingly has unusually large amounts of chakra - just as all in his family line have done (see 'History') - and uses an odd style of taijutsu (although he is still trying to develop it further) due to his left-handed dominance.
Village of Origin: Konoha
Jutsus:
Name: Body Switch Technique [Kawarimi no Jutsu]
Rank: Genin
Type: Ninjutsu
Desc: The user uses speed to his/her advantage, and grabs an item from the environment and places it on his/her current position while moving out of the way. This is clearly an evasion technique used to dodge attacks; however it can be linked with other attacks to create massive damage. Classed as ninjutsu because the user uses Chakra to increase their movement speed.
//Not unique, known by almost every ninja of Genin rank and above, a basic jutsu.
Name: Transformation Technique [Henge no Jutsu]
Rank: Genin
Type: Ninjutsu
Desc: This jutsu allows the user to assume the appearance of another person, animal, or object. Can also be used on clones and objects.
//Not unique, known by almost every ninja of Genin rank and above, a basic jutsu.
Name: Clone Technique [Bunshin no Jutsu]
Rank: Genin
Type: Ninjutsu
Desc: This technique creates intangible clones of the user. The clones are simply illusions and will dissipate when they come into contact with something. The illusions can be seen through by the Byakugan and the Sharingan. A person with normal eyes can also distinguish the clones from the original, since the clones will not disrupt the area around themselves with their movement (won't kick up dust, crush grass, etc.).
//Not unique, known by almost every ninja of Genin rank and above, a basic jutsu.
Name: Suicidal Clone Technique [Bakuretsu Bunshin no Jutsu]
Rank: Genin
Type: Ninjutsu
Desc: Can cause existing clones of the user detonate remotely, causing large radius damage capable of knocking opponents unconscious.
//Not unique.
Name: Dispel [Kai]
Rank: Genin
Type: Genjutsu
Desc: Breaks weak genjutsu techniques over the user, the target, or a small area. Unnaffective against high level genjutsu techniques.
//Not unique, known by almost every ninja of Genin rank and above, a basic jutsu.
Name: Fire Element: Blazing Fireball Technique [Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu]
Rank: Genin
Type: Ninjutsu
Desc: A very powerful fire type technique taught in Konoha. Not many Genin can use this ability repeatedly because of the large amount of chakra it uses. The user gathers chakra into his mouth and then 'spits' it out through his fingers, used to guide the flame into a large flamethrower or fireball. Hand seals required.
//Not unique. A technique taught in konoha and as such would be known by many konoha ninjutsu users, but few outside of the village.
Name: Fire Element: Fire Dragon Blast [Katon: Karyuu Endan]
Rank: Genin
Type: Ninjutsu
Desc: A fire type Ninjutsu technique where the ninja inhales deeply, drawing in a full chest of air. They then exhale, producing a very wide stream of flames that approach their target(s) as a huge wall.
//Not unique. A technique taught in konoha and as such would be known by many konoha ninjutsu users, but few outside of the village.
Name: Leaf Spinning Wind [Konoha Senpuu]
Rank: Genin
Type: Taijutsu
Desc: A taijutsu technique where the user moves suddenly at a high speed, seemingly dissapearing from view for a moment to confuse the enemy. He then appears directly below the target and jumps up, kicking the opponent in the chin sending the person on the recieving end high into the air. The technique, although dealing lots of damage, is fairly weak on it's own, but is very hard to dodge since the movement is so fast and unexpected. Usually used as part of a taijutsu chain of moves.
//Not unique. A technique taught in konoha and as such would be known by many konoha taijutsu users, but few outside of the village.
Name: Leaf Herculean Wind [Konoha Gouriki Senpuu]
Rank: Genin
Type: Taijutsu
Desc: A Taijutsu technique where the user spins with all of their strength and delivers a powerful spinning heel kick, blasting their opponent back.
//Not unique. A technique taught in konoha and as such would be known by many konoha taijutsu users, but few outside of the village.
Name: Leaf Violent Wind [Konoha Reppuu]
Rank: Genin
Type: Taijutsu
Desc: A very basic taijutsu move only useful when an opponent comes charging hastily in. The user darts forward and swipes the legs of the target, tripping him and using his own momentum to send him falling through the air. The speed of the technique also creates a small wind (Hence 'Violent Wind') which makes the falling enemy fly further, preferably into static objects such as walls, trees etc. The technique is obvious and can be dodged easily - It's only effective against foes when used quickly in a chain of moves that gives the foe no time to react.
//Not unique. A technique taught in konoha and as such would be known by many konoha taijutsu users, but few outside of the village.
Name: Double-Combo [Nibai Kentai]
Rank: Genin
Type: Taijutsu
Desc: A Taijutsu technique where the ninja shoulder charges their enemy, driving them away or even into something stable. With impressive strength and force, this technique can be quite damaging when taken full-on, and can stun an opponent if taken by surprise. Using their momentum from the tackle the user chains a series of hard punches into the chest, head and gut of their target, finishing with a stiff turning uppercut that moves into a devastating turning sidekick, knocking the opponent away and hopefully to the ground, while leaving the user standing and ready to continue fighting. Sometimes a kick can be used before or instead of the initial tackle, depending on the situation.
History:
Raised in a fairly secluded atmosphere, Junichi has often been spoilt by his fellows as primary heir to the Kuriya family, a small family-descended clan that has existed for generations in Konoha. He was trained from a young age by personal trainers and family members and never attended the ninja academy except for the genin exam itself - which he passed with flying colors. As such he has had little contact with the outside world until now and at times is finding it hard to adapt.
In terms of clans, the Kuriya family is relatively new, spanning only four generations into Konoha's history. Unlike others it is small and not well known due to it's strict principles; You must be born into the family (or enter via marriage) in order to be a member, external applications have always been denied and the present leader - Junichi's father - has no plans to change that rule. While the clan possesses no natural bloodline or other such ability, it has created itself a unique trait which it passes to all it's newborn members; The Kuriya Seal:
Shaped like a lick of flame, this sealing technique is burned into the skin of every newborn Kuriya family member and represents their connection to the clan. However, it also hides a technique which could prove invaluble: In short, it supresses the users' chakra when unused (ie, when the ninja is asleep, or not taking part in chakra-dependant activities) and drains it, continually storing energy until it is needed at a later time - where it can be released to restore the bearer's chakra reserves and give them a significant energy boost for a short period of time. But, as with all sealing techniques, it's a double-edged sword. While the seal is 'dormant' and slowly collecting chakra from the ninja's body, he has lower stamina and tires easily due to the energy drain. While most people get used to this after the first few years, it becomes a strain while training and exercising. Because of this seal he seems to have very high chakra levels and, while the seal is 'active', can fight for long periods of time. After unleashing the seal he will be unable to use it again until it collects enough chakra to function (and while it is doing that, the draining sideeffects kick in and he is weakened).
He is the first child of his parents and is the primary heir to the family. He has a younger sister (Thirteen) and a younger brother (Twelve) and cares for both siblings and his parents deeply, although he hates to admit it.
His past is fairly uneventful, having been confined to his families' household for most of his life.
RP Sample:
Junichi danced, putting all of his weight into his left foot and forcing himself into a spin to avoid the flurry of kunai as they arced through the chilled morning air towards him. Moments afterwards each of the attacking knives sunk into the soft ground where he'd been only a fraction of a second before, and he was forced to jump back further as another volley soared towards him. To his right he could see the instructor, constantly watching, judging, noting, as him and the ninja he was fighting tried their utmost best to better one another.
But in the six years of their fighting, neither Kuriya child had been able to beat their sibling. The girl was simply too prepared, too concealed behind her already masterful weapon handling, to leave enough opportunity for her elder brother to strike. Both combatants knew each other too well, and were constantly at a stalemate. So when Junichi stumbled and slipped to the ground, the girl was on to him in a flash. In the precious few seconds before he hit the ground and could roll away, three kunai left her grasp and hissed towards him. The first missed and collided with the ground near him; the second grazed his cheek and came to a halt near the first, but the third found it's mark. With a sickly thud the knife sunk into his chest, and his eyes spread wide with surprise and fear. The next few seconds passed like hours, until he opened his mouth to scream - and out poured cloud.
With an eruption of fog, the clone of the boy dissapeared and three more bodies, one the real person accompanied by a further two clones, leapt from the surrounding undergrowth and headed directly towards the girl. Instantly she was a blur of movement; spinning gracefully and loosing another kunai that cut through a second clone, scattering makibishi spikes on the floor and jumping clear, pulling a gas carterige to cover her route - but the damage was done. The final two bodies, identical to the last smudge of dirt, closed in and finally, at close-range, Junichi had the upper hand.
"Enough!" Called the instructor, and instantly both ninja froze, landing back on the ground and standing still, their battle forgotten. Both seemed disgruntled at the interruption, and didn't wait to express it.
"But father!" Called the girl,
"I was so close!" Continued the boy,
"It would've happened this time!"
"I could've won!"
The man sighed, and looked both of them in the eyes in turn.
"No, neither of you would have won. You've been fighting for fourty minutes already, and are both exhausted."
The boy moved to interrupt, but the father silenced him with a wave of a hand.
"Junichi, you did good to decieve her and get her where you wanted her, but you too were tricked." He looked as his son stopped, confused. The girl grinned slyly and pulled out a tightly concealed net from her sleeve, pre-loaded to shoot out at a moment notice and trap her brother if he got too close. With a wink, just as he had done, she dissapeared in a cloud of smoke and the real girl hopped out from an overhanging bough of a tree, her shuriken still at the ready in her fingertips.
"And Mai, the net was a good idea, but it wouldn't have worked. He's old enough to know to predict, avoid and cut through such simple traps. Think, girl! You would've given your position away springing that trap, and hitting a vital point at that range with shuriken - you'd be lucky."
The pair of ninja looked downtrodden, realizing that once again neither could beat the other. Mumbling, they followed their father back to their family estate, each already thinking of new strategies to beat the other.
