• apparel:

  ∞ Hidane has two layers of clothes that he wears at any time; the inner layer is his "combat suit", which he wears while training or in combat situations. He wears black sweatpants and a black sleeveless shirt that somewhat resembles a kimono. The shirt is held shut by an elastic sash-like band at the waist in a way that the shirt's sides cross and close at his upper chest. He wears black socks with average sandals, and can occasionally be seen wearing black fingerless gloves when out on missions.
  
  ∞ For more casual occasions, he wears an additional layer of clothing over this. Over his usual combat attire, he wears a deep blue kimono with pink floral designs all over, closed by a thick and decorative maroon sash that seems disproportionately large on Hidane. The blue kimono closes just low enough that the collar of his black shirt underneath is visible. Occasionally (mostly at formal events), he wears a blue-and-maroon floral hairpiece on the left side.

• body appearance:

  Hidane has a very tall and slim body, his long legs making him seem even taller than he is. Sometimes his slim figure makes him think he is undernourished, but he can still perform his shinobi duties fine, so he doesn't worry too much about it. He has a long neck and a fairly pale complexion. He has a small nose and a rather thin mouth with small lips. His eyes are a deep blue color, though he usually keeps them nearly closed when not in combat, so it's hard to identify. He has fairly long, straight black hair.

• blemishes & scars:

  ∞ thick scar going half way around his body just above the right hip

• personality:

  ∞ Hidane is a very calm and collected person. He is not easily overcome by what few emotions he actually feels, and is very rational in his approach to battle, negotiations, and just about everything. Sometimes his overall level of collectedness can make him seem a bit robotic and unapproachable to others, but he doesn’t care much for having friends, so it doesn’t matter to him. He respects those of whom can see past his robotic exterior and trust him as an ally, and for those who don’t he returns an equal level of trust, though shows no emotional preference for either of the two. Hidane has no concept of ‘vengeance’ at any level, and will handle any situation as seems best for the overall situation of mission in which he and any allies accompanying him are handling. He considers himself passively caring, not wanting to completely admit to his general lack of emotion, though he does show responsibility and almost parent-like behavior when it comes to tending to underlings or the injured.
  
  ∞ Though he is very calm and emotionally detached, Hidane is a rather ambitious person. His main goal in life is to rise to the rank of Jounin for several purposes; for one, he wishes to have a large hand in the future of the world, and feels his best place to do that would be as a Jounin, in a place of power, authority, and education over younger, less experienced shinobi as well as having more say in the business of higher-ups in Kirigakure. He also wants to become a strong figure in the shinobi world in general, and being at the rank of Jounin would give him plentiful opportunities to put his name out there with what he does. He believes that the shinobi world has some big changes coming in the future, and that he is one of many who have the potential to bring about this great change.
  
  ∞ Hidane believes in a very objective view of the world; he doesn’t see any point in doing anything based on anything other than pure fact. The idea of imagining or assuming that something is a certain way in an immediate situation seems ridiculous to him, as it leaves openings for too many possibilites that could have negative results instead of positive. For him, any decision should be handled bluntly based on facts, no matter how ruthless the decision must be in that case. Risk is something that, in this shinobi’s opinion, should not be taken when given another option. It is better to lose a new opportunity than many that are already help.
  
  ∞ Hidane was raised on a noble's standards, and thus he has very high-class social mannerisms. He is a bit elaborate in his speech and gestures at times, and isn't as entertained as much by less mature entertainment than others in his age or rank group, but he tends to get along better with some older members of his community. He has a strong ear for music, particularly classical, and enjoys attending formal events. He believes himself to be very honorable and respectful, and delivers to others manners that he would expect others to give back, though many times he is disappointed by his peers, since he is rather strict.

Considered is a high-speed movement technique, it allows a ninja to move short to long distances at an almost untraceable speed - to an observer, it appears as if the user has teleported. Such a feat is accomplished by using chakra to temporarily vitalise the body and move at extreme speeds they would otherwise be unable to reproduce.

To facilitate the movement the ninja will often use nearby elements such as mist, sand or leaves to mask their appearance or disappearance.

• Raiton (Lightning) Release
  
  
  • Karai Shin (Lightning Wrath's Reach)

    Type: Supplementary / Raiton Ninjutsu
    Range: 0 - 50 meters
    Chakra: Low - Massive
    Special: Allows the user the ability to create, control and move Raiton (Thunder) chakra of their own for multiple purposes, as well as control that produced by nature. Strength of thunder and distance at which one can control it depends on the highest rank known.

    Domain: Raiton.
    
    
  • Hiraishin Kiru (Human Lightning Rod)
    Rank: D, C, B, A, S
    Type: Supplementary / Raiton Ninjutsu
    Range: Touch
    Chakra: Mid - Very High
    Special: Once the victim is struck by lightning, the user is required to re-apply the effects. If the victim is not struck by lightning before they leave the given battle thread, the effects are neutralized and the jutsu must be reapplied. Highest rank determines the strength of the charge placed on the victim, and thus, the strength of lightning that can strike them.
    Description: As the name implies, this simple technique allows the user to alter their internal electric charge temporarily, so that all Raiton chakra subsequently made by the user (as well as natural lightning!) is more susceptible to strike the victim, as well as damage them higher than normal. This alteration usually occurs during some form of contact, where the user’s charged appendage can simple tough, strike or graze the victim and quickly place the effects on them.
    Domain: Raiton. Karai Shin.
    
    
  • Danpen Inazuma (Shooting Thunder)

    • D: 1/5th (20%) Karai Shin range
      
    • C: 2/5th's (40%) Karai Shin range
      
    • B: 3/5th's (60%) Karai Shin range
      
    • A: 4/5th's (80%) Karai Shin range
      
    • S: Full Karai Shin range
      
    
    Description: Meant more as a reactionary technique than a main avenue of offense, this jutsu allows the user to essentially shoot out small lightning bolts from a free hand to anyone within a small range. This requires no seals to conjure, and can be shot out from one’s appendage during the most heated of combat. The damage is light and the bolts shoot off in a relatively straight line, at rapid speeds.
    Domain: Raiton. Karai Shin.
    
    
  • Raikyuu (Lightning Ball)
    Rank: C
    Type: Offensive / Raiton Ninjutsu
    Range: See special!
    Chakra: Mid
    Special: Travels in a straight line roughly at the speed of 1/2 a meter per second, plus 1/2 more each time retrained until reaching a maximum of 20 meters per second. Being struck by this results in the area in question being paralyzed for a half a turn, (a hit to the head affects the whole body). Paralysis effects do not stack once victim is struck.
    Description: A very simple and effective Raiton technique known throughout, the user either takes twin weaponry or their own appendages, focuses their chakra into their center, and forms a ball of pure lightning. This newly formed threat can either be smashed into an opponent’s face, or tossed from a nearby distance. Repetitive exposure to the shocking has been known to leave its victims stunned.
    Domain: Raiton. Karai Shin 'C'.
    
    
  • Raiton Bunshin no Jutsu (Shocking Clone Technique)
    Rank: C
    Type: Supplementary / Raiton Ninjutsu
    Range: See special!
    Chakra: Mid
    Special: Up to one clone can be made at a time, plus one more each time retrained. Because of its light essence, most physical strikes pass through the clone, and when struck, the clone's thundery essence submits whatever struck it with intense shocks, as if it had just struck the center of lightning bolt delivered directly from Zeus himself. Clone cannot perform any jutsu, but when defeated, it explodes in a burst of bolts, spreading its shocking essence everywhere. Explosion range covers 5 meters all around the clone, and leave victims caught in it paralyzed for a whole turn, friend and foe alike. User's 'Karai Shin' range determines how far the clones can travel from the user before dissipating, and once the user exits the thread in which they were created, clones automatically disperse.
    Description: With this technique, the Raiton user is able to call upon aid from a perfect copy of themselves. Comprised purely of lightning, this clone retains the user movement speed and can share linked mental judgement. Best of all, due to its flowing essence, many solid attacks pass through the clone, shocking instead whatever was used to strike them. Finally, when defeated, the clone explodes into a storm of lightning that aims to take over the nearest opponent available, taking over their body whole as it is shocked.
    Domain: Raiton. Karai Shin 'C'.
    
    
  • Eshaku Raikou (Lightning Bow)
    Rank: C
    Type: Offensive / Raiton Ninjutsu
    Range: See special!
    Chakra: Mid
    Special: Range of arrows is determined by the user's higest 'Karai Shin' range. Arrows travel at twice the speed of a kunai. Up to one arrow can be made and shot each time, plus one more each time retrained.
    Description: After performing the needed handseals, the user will wave both arms through the air, leaving raiton chakra behind in the shape of bow and arrow. The lightning arrow can then be shot at an opponent and stun them from afar. By taking extra time to focus their energy, the arrow can be re-shaped for distance, rather than power.
    Domain: Raiton. Karai Shin.

  • Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Technique)
    Rank: C
    Type: Supplementary / Space-Time Ninjutsu
    Range: Self
    Chakra: Mid
    Special: Requires the appropriate Path in order to complete the summoning - look below!
    Description: A powerful jutsu intended to call forth aid when in dire need, Kuchiyose allows a ninja to summon animals and objects out of thin air and into the battlefield in order to fight on their behalf. The ninja normally signs a blood contract with the animal species, which allows them to summon different size and skill levels of creature. Finally, signing this contract also allows the animal to reverse summon the human ninja to their location.

    Description: This version of Kuchiyose allows the summoner to effectively call weapons within their possession, stored away somewhere distant. Useful when the ninja is weaponless and in a pinch.
    Domain: Kuchiyose no Jutsu.
    
    
  
  
• Taijutsu - Kenjutsu (Sword Arts)
  
  
  • Battojutsu (Art of the Drawing Sword)

    Range: 0 - 5 meters
    Special: Allows the swordsman to deflect basic attacks of equal or lower rank, in conjunction with other, more advanced moves within the style.
    Description: An offensive nature of fighting, all Battojutsu practitioners will tend to stand in looser patterns, letting their steel fly and attack at often irregular angles. Unlike its defensive counterpart, this form allows for quicker, more deliberate strikes, making it deadly in the hands of a true master.
    Domain: Kenjutsu
    
    
  • Mae Zuki (Front Thrust)
    Rank: D
    Type: Offensive / Taijutsu / Kenjutsu
    Range: 0 - 5 meters
    Stamina: Low
    Special: Each time retrained, 'D' ranked damage is stacked.
    Description: Commencing from a standing position, the practitioner draws and thrusts a frontal attacker and then quickly sheathes his blade. As he invests more time and practice into the art of offensive sheathing, his overall offensive rating shall increase, although at the cost of greater stamina.
    Domain: Kenjutsu. Battojutsu 'D'.
    
    
  • Ushiro Zuki (Rear Thrust)
    Rank: D
    Type: Offensive / Taijutsu / Kenjutsu
    Range: 0 - 5 meters
    Stamina: Low
    Special: Each time retrained, 'D' ranked damage is stacked.
    Description: Commencing from a kneeling position, the practitioner quickly turns and draws to thrust the rear as a simple attack then sheathes. As long as the user is aware of the target behind them, a quick unexpected offensive strike like this usually yields success.
    Domain: Kenjutsu. Battojutsu 'D'.
    
    
  • Kesagiri (Diagonal Cut)
    Rank: D
    Type: Offensive / Taijutsu / Kenjutsu
    Range: 0 - 5 meters
    Stamina: Low
    Special: Each time retrained, 'D' ranked damage is stacked.
    Description: Commencing from a standing position, the practitioner draws and strikes an approaching attacker then sheathes. As they invest more time and practice into the art of offensive sheathing, their overall offensive rating shall increase.

• Taijutsu - Kousuku no Shunpo (Speed of Light Foot Techniques)
  
  
  • Shunpo (Flashing Light Steps)
    Rank: D
    Type: Supplementary / Taijutsu / High-Speed Movement
    Range: 0 - 10 meters
    Stamina: Low
    Special: Shunpo is much like Shunshin, a forward-moving high-speed technique that transports the user across a short space in the blink of an eye. When used, the user will rush almost instantly to wherever they are facing. The user can Shunpo once per thread, plus once more each time retrained. One cannot attack or perform techniques during Shunpo.
    Description: Shunpo, a Taijutsu master's response to the Body Flicker Technique, relies solely on the user's ability to harness their inner ki and gain enough stamina to withstand the sudden strain imposed on one's legs. However, once properly trained, the Taijutsu Type will find their legs moving at speeds unknown to common man, to the point most would make the foolish mistake of assuming one is using Shunshin. However, unlike that chakra inspired run, Shunpo is pure stamina and movement skill, allowing for tighter, quicker, and more reactionary movements essential for someone that relies on movement. Although Shunpo itself moves in a single line, its many variations is what makes it so lethal.
    Domain: Shunpo - Universal Taijutsu.
