Post by Katsumi on Jul 19, 2007 18:55:58 GMT -5
Name: Kuninobu, Katsumi
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Rank: Chuunin
Appearance:
Tall, somewhat elegant and smug, Katsumi appears to be very mature for his age, standing at a clear 6ft 2 with a slim yet strong stature. Shocking white hair falls down to his rear neckline and is complemented by his definitive dark brown eyes. He is clean-shaven and wears his forehead protector proudly around his collar.
He usually wears a well-kept black tank top, matching leather fingerless gloves, and trousers with a long deep red overcoat which drapes nicely from his wide shoulders. Often carries a large sheathed katana on his back, as his primary weapon of choice.
Personality:
Calm and collected, Katsumi very rarely raises his voice or acts rashly without thinking. While he gets annoyed with many everyday things he is equally pleased and calmed by others, and likes to create a very laid back and relaxed image and mood. He studies situations carefully when he can and it is not unknown for him to dismiss himself - or at least refuse to cooperate - if he believes it to be a waste of his effort or time. However, if he finds a cause he believes in he will dedicate himself to accomplishing the task until he is satisfied or is unable to continue - as stubborn as he can be at times he knows his own limits and when it's best to give up.
Always considering himself to be a good thinker, he likes to think of himself as someone commanding respect and acts as such, even if it isn't true (he recognizes that others may not respect him, but is too satisfied with the notion of being respected that he ignores it stubbornly).
Katsumi is not inherently violent and prefers to avoid fighting, but when provoked or engaged in a fight he won't slack off or hold back until he feels that he is in control. While he is adequate at using nin and taijutsu, his style of combat favors genjutsu, which he practices rigorously. He naturally has low chakra reserves and is not as physically strong as he would like and such is lacking in face-to-face combat, but he has exceptional chakra control (similar to his father, a medical-nin) which allows him to use many techniques to their fullest extent and utilize chakra in ways others may not think of.
That said, he prefers to win without killing the enemy, aiming to immobilize or knock them unconscious and let them realize defeat before it claims their body.
His favorite pastimes are sightseeing and stargazing, and he will often travel many miles just to enjoy a good view and relax in the open. He loves whatever the weather can throw at him (with the exception of overcast, gloomy skies, naturally), but hates staying indoors on such days. He also greatly enjoys traditional music and frequents local performances.
Village of Origin: Hidden Village of Mist
Preferred weapon of choice: Single, long bladed katana called 'Totsuka no Tsurugi [Blade of Ten]. See RP Example below. The weapon is apparently summoned by an enemy who is then defeated - the blade stays and Katsumi claims it as his. When he first touches it, during the fight vs. it's summoner, he is harmed as the weapon itself repels him, but after it's owner has died that trick also disappears. He often experiments with the blade to try and uncover it's secrets - such as it's summoning and resistance to those who don't own it.
Update: After losing the sword in a heated fight in the Hidden Sound Village, the Mizukage himself handed him the summoning pact for the weapon, hinting that it's origins may in fact be related to Kirigakure or the kage. Katsumi no longer carries the sword on his back, but has the ability to summon it in battle.
Jutsus:
Note: some Jutsu's referenced from actual Naruto Jutsu's, found here
[Info here mostly the same as my Jutsu registration application, although there is information there of why I might know such Jutsu]
Name: Hidden Mist Technique [Ninpou- Kirigakure no Jutsu]
Rank: Genin
Type: Ninjutsu
Desc: A Ninjutsu technique that covers the area surrounding the ninja using it completely in mist. Perfect for silent killing, since there's practically no visibility within the area of this jutsu.
//Would be available for all ninja of the hidden Mist village.
Name: Water Clone Technique [Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu]
Rank: Chuunin
Type: Ninjutsu
Desc: This Ninjutsu technique uses water as its base for creating the clones. Each clone is one tenth as powerful as the ninja using it and has a limited range it can move away from its creator. Like the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Technique), this clone can attack as if it were the ninja them self, and one hit will destroy it.
//Would be available for all ninja of the hidden Mist village.
Name: Water Dragon Blast Technique [Suiton Suiryuudan no Jutsu]
Rank: Chuunin
Type: Ninjutsu
Desc: A Suiton (water type) Ninjutsu technique using water as its base. The ninja manipulates the water around them into the shape of a large dragon that attacks their opponent as a torrential blast.
//Would be available for all ninja of the hidden Mist village.
Name: Water Prison Technique [Suirou no Jutsu]
Rank: Chuunin
Type: Ninjutsu
Desc: A Ninjutsu technique that controls the density of water, creating a heavy area of water that becomes a bubble-like prison that is inescapable so long as the user maintains their concentration.
Name: Water Type: Water Shark Blast Technique [Suiton: Suikoudan no Jutsu
Rank: Chuunin
Type: Ninjutsu
Desc: A Suiton (water type) Ninjutsu technique where the ninja focuses their chakra through surrounding water and manipulates it into a swirling wall around them, and then directs it at their opponent in the shape of a monstrous shark made of water. Before using it to attack the ninja can use the water as a shield against their enemy; because of the speed and strength of the swirling water, only very precise or strong attacks can break through.
Name: Water Type: Great Waterfall Technique [Suiton: Daibakufu no Jutsu
Rank: Chuunin
Type: Ninjutsu
Desc: A Suiton (water type) Ninjutsu technique using water as its base. The ninja manipulates the water around them into a cyclonic explosion that rips into its victim like a tsunami. It has enough force to tear apart solid ground and uproot trees. The speed of this jutsu is it's deadliest attribute.
Name: Sleep [Nemuri]
Rank: Genin
Type: Genjutsu
Desc: A Genjutsu technique where the ninja places their hand on their target's shoulder and forces them into a deep slumber. A useful technique when subterfuge is involved with a mission, but utterly useless in combat.
Name: Feather Sleep [Nemurihane]
Rank: Chuunin
Type: Genjutsu
Desc: A Genjutsu technique where the ninja targets a mass of people and puts them to sleep. Illusory feathers appear to rain upon them, and they will then fall into a deep slumber. More useful than the simple Nemuri (Sleep) Genjutsu, this technique is still useless in combat, as most superior shinobi know Genjutsu Kai (Genjutsu Release) to counter it, and as it takes quite a lot of focus to target many people.
Name: Dance of Swords: One [Butoutouken no Jutsu: Ichi]
Rank: Genin
Type: Genjutsu
Desc: The user concentrates their chakra to mask and confuse the senses of an opponent. The opponent is immobilized and confused from visual images, usually of stabbing blades etc., for as long as the effect lasts, although no damage is done from the technique alone. Illusion is broken easily by physical contact to the target.
//Unique to Katsumi.
Name: Dance of Swords: Two [Butoutouken no Jutsu: Ni]
Rank: Chuunin
Type: Genjutsu
Desc: The user concentrates their chakra to mask and confuse the senses of an opponent, effectively commanding the senses of vision, hearing, taste, touch and smell to make the target truly believe and fear what they experience, as they are able to feel their fake surroundings. Irregular chakra flow through the target makes this technique hard to break, although no physical damage is done to their body (excluding mind) through it alone. Requires the user to maintain concentration on the subject, and uses large amounts of chakra to maintain. Can be stopped by attacking the user.
//Unique to Katsumi.
Name: Summoning technique: Spirit of the Ocean [Kuchiyose no Jutsu: Amanojaku]
Rank: Chuunin
Type: Ninjutsu
Desc: An incredibly hard technique to learn, the user summons a body of water to them. Because the summoned object is not a live being, it requires no bloodpact or scroll to perform - it is the base Kuchiyose only. The amount of water summoned depends on the amount of chakra put into the technique.
//Being reasonably clever, Katsumi put alot of time and effort into learning this technique in order to cover some of his weaknesses in combat. It's a unique technique to him as he developed it, but others may have similar jutsu.
Name: Illusion Release [Genkaku Shakuhou]
Rank: Genin
Type: Genjutsu
Desc: The user irregulates their chakra flow to their senses and releases a short burst of it to their surroundings. Used when under the influence of powerful genjutsu to break the effect on the user. May leave the user dazed and/or drained for a moment as they regain control and steady their chakra flow.
//Not unique, would be known by most genjutsu users.
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: Bringer of Darkness Technique [Kokuangyo no Jutsu]
Rank: Genin
Type: Genjutsu
Desc: A Genjutsu technique that effectively blinds the enemy. Total darkness engulfs them, and they can see nothing but their own body. The ninja can freely attack their enemy in this state with no tremendous worry of a counter-attack, unless the enemy is extremely talented. Can be dispelled by experienced genjutsu users or a third person.
//Not unique, would be known by most genjutsu users.
Name: Healing Hands Technique [Chiyute no Jutsu]
Rank: Genin
Type: Ninjutsu
Desc: A Ninjutsu technique where the ninja focuses chakra into the palms of their hands, creating a small ball of healing chakra. This chakra, when concentrated, can repair physical damage to another person. Depending on the degree of the wound, the ninja must concentrate more of their chakra to repair the damage. However, if the wound is too extensive, such as extensive damage to vital organs, this technique may not be able to help them. Requires time and, for anything more than minor injuries, lots of chakra to use.
//Tought to Katsumi by his father, a medical-nin. Would be known by all other medical-nin.
Name: Chakra Scalpel [Chakra Enjintou]
Rank: Chuunin
Type: Ninjutsu
Desc: A Ninjutsu technique used, primarily for field surgery. The ninja concentrates a powerful aura of chakra around their hand, creating a blade capable of tearing through muscles and arteries, or breaking bone, without actually breaking the skin of the person they're using it on. When used offensively, in combat, it is difficult to concentrate on the length and power of the scalpel, making it harder to successfully hit an enemy's arteries, ensuring a kill. The user must be in almost direct physical contact with the target and have a decent amount of concentration if precision is needed.
//Tought to Katsumi by his father, a medical-nin. Would be known by all other medical-nin.
Name: Summoning technique: Blade of Ten [Kuchiyose no Jutsu: Totsuka no Tsurugi]
Rank: Chuunin
Type: Ninjutsu
Desc: A scroll granted to Katsumi by the Mizukage as the reward for several missions gave him the ability to summon the sword he had previously been carrying before losing in a fight. See 'Preffered weapon of choice' and 'RP Sample' for more details. Katsumi is still to master this technique and as far as anyone can tell, the sword is simply just that - a blade, albeit a beautiful one. It holds no special powers or sentient mind.
Name: White Fist [Shiroiken]
Rank: Chuunin
Type: Taijutsu
Desc: A custom fighting style developed by Kuninobu Katsumi, the "White Fist" style emphasises finesse over power. With accurate and quick attacks, it is perfect for the way he fights. The attacks themselves somewhat resemble those of the Tekken [Iron Fist] style, making the two hard to discern from each other to the unexperianced watcher. However, using his knowledge of medical and surgical ninjutsu techniques, Kuninobu imbues each attack with small, precise chakra blades - not unlike those used in his Chakra Enjintou technique - which can cause internal damage even when his attack appears to have missed. It does not require hand seals, but, similar to the Hyûga Juuken [Gentle Fist] style, uses chakra to operate at it's fullest potential and as such cannot be used indefinately. He developed this style in order to cover his weaknesses in combat; he has the required control and finesse, but not the physical strength to succeed in most bouts where only Iron Fist is used. The style is not yet fully developed as he is still working on it; but it should not be underestimated nontheless.
//Unique to Katsumi. Self-developed.
History:
Katsumi was born the son of Kuninobu Ieyasu, former Mist ANBU member, medical-nin and known pervert. His mother, Kuninobu Sachi, was a village commoner who passed away from fever only three years after the birth of her son, which had left her body weakened and tired from infection.
Mourning the death of his wife and unable to continue his work with the Mist ANBU from a combination of age and past injury, Ieyasu set out abroad with his son, raising him on the land, away from the dependency of a village and it's luxuries. Determined to have him grow strong and able he began teaching Katsumi the ninja arts by himself, tutoring his every move to near-perfection.
During their travels the duo of father and son saw many sights and countries, grew accustomed to foreign lands, peoples and, in large parts due to the elder of the two, female-only hotsprings, until at the age of 11, Ieyasu finally allowed his son back to his birthplace in the village of Mist to have him begin the path of serving their country. Having years of experience and first-hand training with his experienced predecessor, and being twice the usual starting age, Katsumi aced his first few years at the training academy, was moved to higher classes and graduated with high expectations to be the key member of that years' Team 4.
It was another two uneventful years later that a milestone in his life came to view. On a seemingly easy patrol and search mission, the group - including their leader, the jounin Miyoko Ruri - were targeted and defeated by a local, albeit small organization consisting of ex-Mist ninja intent on overthrowing the government.
As his team was cut down around him Katsumi, breaking free of his usual reluctancy and fired with anger, managed to scatter his opponents and utilizing his trump genjutsu techniques, was able to defeat a chuunin level foe while protecting the unconscious body of his last surviving comrade.
Wounded and exhausted, he managed to evade detection by the opposing party and haul both the weight of his friend and foe within reach of the hidden village of Mist without either having died. For his actions (and partly due to the mass of information gained from the retrieved enemy which led to the annihilation of his said group) he was promoted to the rank of Chuunin - average progress for one 16 years old.
Now, two months on, he is awaiting assignment to a new team and eager to resume work for his country. That, and he needed the money it brought, seeing as his father spent all that he had on alcohol and female company...
