PHYSICALITY[/u]

• Height 5'11"
  
• Weight 153
  
• Apparel ~ Ethereal's clothing never failed to be anything short of modestly formal, carrying a but of casual flair while maintaining that elegant, formal look to it. Most commonly he's found wearing a snugly form-fitting white button down dress shirt underneath a sleek black jacket, the cuffs and collar of which were trimmed in a gold. Completing the otherwise flashy ensemble was, oddly enough, a pair of simple black jeans, the belt of which was made up by the durable red cloth of his Suna Headband, the 'buckle' being the forehead protector, over which he kept the bottom few buttons of his shirt undone to allow his allegiance to his village to be proudly displayed, despite how it did give the occasional glimpse of his midriff in an afternoon breeze, though that didn't seem to bother him too much. Clasped loosely around his neck was a small silver chain, then pendent of which being a matching silver rose pendent, which Ethereal could commonly be seem fumbling and toying with between his fingers whenever deep in thought.
  
  
  
• Body Appearance ~ Ethereal possessed the same lean, lithe figure expected of most boys his age, though there were obvious hints of bulkless muscle carved across his body. Long crimson hair spilled around a handsomely angled face, messy and unkempt by contrast to the rest of his rather well-maintaind appearance. Lavender eyes stared out from beneath those red lengths, their shape giving his face a far more calm yet serious aura. Ethereal was rarely seen with his chest or back exposed, so the black ink of the tattooed tribal rose on the back of his left shoulder nor the intricate curling of thorned vines flowing out from that rose to wrap across his torso was an uncommon sight at best, though the markings were often professed to be of great significance to him. This was a boy many wouldn't have been surprised to see walk straight out of a fairy tale, though the wild flair added to his otherwise handsome appearance would have earned him the position of the dashing knight rather than the charming prince.

COGNITION[/u]

• Personality ~ A boy whose reason for living is the combination of devoted servitude to his Village, and the hope that he will one day discover an even more worthy reason.
  
  By his appearance, most automatically assumed a boy like Ethereal would live in the lap of popularity, or at least have a keenly outgoing and sociable personality. However, neither was the case. Ethereal actually had quite the opposite; a passively anti-social attitude towards most aspects of life. His noncommittal way of answering nearly all questions and attempts at conversation caused many people to view him as a cold and arrogant person, and neither of those assumptions were far from the mark. He did certainly possess some degree of arrogance, though that was mostly in reference to his combat skills, and a hidden extra bit towards his appearance. The coldness factor came with the fact that he knew people often perceived him that way, yet didn't seem to care enough to do anything about it. Though it was possible for someone to strike a rare conversation with him, especially someone he's fond of or respects for one reason or another, usually he'll be found brushing any attempts aside with a half-hearted excuse and the occasional charming smile when necessary.
  
  Beneath the cold, distant, and impassive surface though was largely different boy, one who would have been known for his patience and easy-going demeanor were it not for his odd behavior in social settings. Few things were actually able to upset him to any noteworthy degree, and the list of things that could almost never failed to be things that would drive him into a cold rage. His favorite way to pass the time was simply sitting in a luxurious chair facing a window and daydream with a cup of tea, or relax in a casual restaurant - alone - and do... well, the exact same thing.
  
  Being a hopeless romantic at heart, Ether has always loved the nobility of the code of chivalry, and tries in all occasions to always be true to his word. He even attempts to answer as honestly and truthfully as possible in any conversation, at least provided that he's not the subject, since when he is the subject he'll often give any answer and tell any lie necessary to push topic back as far away from himself as possible, though he usually tries to make sure it's achieved through evasiveness and clever subjects changes if he can help it, to keep lying at a minimum.
  
  In combat, Ether changes into what seems to be an entirely different person; going from patient easy-going to an aggressive calm, often wearing the noticeable trace of a smile on his lips.
  
  
• Alignment Neutral Good
  
• Allegiance Village Hidden in the Sand
  
• Quirks & Tendencies ~ Aphephobia is the most noteworthy characteristic of Ethereal Loussier. He naturally dislikes being touched, to the point where he's always gone out of his way to avoid physical contact, though not due to any particularly traumatic experience in his childhood. The cause of his Aphephobia? For some reason the chakra in his body reacts to physical contact. Badly. Particularly with those who actually have noteworthy amounts of chakra; basically meaning other ninjas. His own chakra rejects the close proximity of another individual's chakra so strongly that it lashes out against the surface of his body as an auto-defense mechanism against being touched. While this doesn't actually do anything to the other person, it does result in the unfortunate side-effect of causing Ethereal to feel an extremely uncomfortable burning sensation beneath the skin of wherever the other person is making contact. There is, however, an obvious exception to this rule; While in combat, the endorphins released by his brain to flood his body counteract the negative effect of his Aphephobia, meaning any contact during battle doesn't trigger that effect. "I guess every rose has its thorn. Mine just happen to hurt me instead."
  
• Likes ~ Roses, tea, social places like restaurants, training, being praised, getting compliments, his appearance, NOT being touched, The Hidden Sand Village.
  
• Dislikes ~ Being touched, crowded places, the heat, failure, being asked about himself, being dragged into conversations, being dragged period, and anyone/thing that threatens his village.

ARMAMENTS[/u]

• Primary Weapons
  Katana
  Rank: C
  Type: Primary / Melee
  Description: Commonly refereed to as a 'Samurai sword', the katana is characterized by its distinctive appearance: a curved, slender, single edged blade up to three feet in length, circular or squared guard, and long grip to accommodate two hands. As such, it has become renowned for its sharpness and cutting ability.
  
• Secondary Weapons
  Exploding Note

[/u] ~ 1 pack
Rank: D
Type: Tool / Area of Effect
Range: 0 - 5 meters
Special: 10 per pack
Description: The exploding note is a piece of parchment paper infused with special chakra, layered over with a special script on it that serves to enable and facilitate its explosive properties. Its execution is simple - the ninja can attach the note to another object such as a kunai or log, and upon activation, the note is set and begins either a slow countdown burn, which eventually results in a large explosion, or the explosion in itself upon command.

Kunai (Throwing Knife)[/u] ~ 2 pack
Rank: D
Type: Secondary / Melee + Ranged
Special: 2 per Pack.
Description: This throwing knife is one of the common weapons of a ninja. It is often kept in a holster on the leg in a pouch attached to the belt. What makes it so versatile and universal is the fact the Kunai can be used in conjunction with explosive tags and other weapons to form deadly combos out of simple, easily accessible items.

Hikari (Light Bomb) ~ 2 pack
Rank: C
Type: Tool / Area of Effect
Range: 0 - 10 meters
Special: 1 per pack
Description: Flash Bombs are supplementary explodables used mainly for diversions, creating a blinding light when they detonate that spreads quickly across a small area. Flash Bombs come in many shapes and sizes depending by region; some may look like small spheres wrapped in paper or, more conventionally, as cylindrical canisters.
[/li][li]Items
Black Scrolls[/u]
Rank: C
Type: Accessory / Self
Special: -
Description: Scrolls remain one of the most important pieces of equipment in a ninja's arsenal. Because of their size, multiple scrolls can be carried into battle in the front pouches of a flak jacket or in a satchel. This will save space and not sacrifice a much needed piece of equipment which may be required later. In the end, the scroll is useful because it allows the ninja to summon creatures, people and items to their aid.

Fuuton

Kazekaeshi (Wind Return)
Rank: D, C, B
Type: Defensive / Fuuton Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Chakra: D: Low; C, B: Mid; A, S: High
Special: Effective in blocking and returning ninjutsu and taijutsu of equal rank. Push-back distance starts off at 10 meters, and increases by 10 more with each new rank acquired.
Description: No one knows the power of Fuuton more than a Fuuton specialist, and this technique was designed by those that met reality sooner than most. Varying by skill and rank, this technique allows the user to take hold of any offensive jutsu used upon them, as along as the attack’s nature allows for whatever is thrown to be controlled. With a great burst of chakra at either their hands or weapons, the user quickly returns the technique back at the opponent, in full effect.
Domain: Fuuton.

Kaiten Shuriken (Rotating Shuriken)
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary / Fuuton Ninjutsu
Range: 10+ meters
Chakra: Low
Special: Wind boost travels up to 10 meters and can control up to 5 projectiles at a time; when relearned, the wind gains 10 extra meters of travel and 5 more projectiles to control.
Description: One of the simplest Fuuton techniques, this supplementary technique allows the user to take any secondary/projectile weaponry they have on them and coat them in Fuuton chakra. This allows the user to shoot them at high speeds under the wind manipulation, adding rotation and tumbling power to increase the speed of normal weapon attacks, as well as its deadliness.
Domain: Fuuton.

Kamaitachi (Cutting Whirlwind)
Rank: C + 2 Retrains
Type: Offensive / Fuuton Ninjutsu
Range: 30 meters (15 meter diameter)
Chakra: Mid
Special: Size of tunnel opening measures 5 meters, and wind blasts can travel 10 meters; each time relearned, the mouth grows by 5 meters and the blast itself travels an extra 10 meters..
Description: This jutsu was brought to fame by a legendary Suna shinobi from long ago, and was named after a mythical creature able to command the winds on a whim. After channeling wind chakra at either their weapon or limb, the user swings it around and brings forth a most intense tornado, coming out from the weapon/arm. Once it strikes the user, the tornado tips upward and takes the user up, keeping them imprisoned by the strong currents, and delivering multiple waves of cutting/slicing damage onto their bodies, as well as dropping them hard onto the ground afterward.
Domain: Fuuton.

• Dai Kamaitachi (Great Cutting Whirlwind)
  Rank: B
  Type: Offensive / Fuuton Ninjutsu
  Range: 10+ meters

  Description: This jutsu was brought to fame by a legendary Suna shinobi from long ago, and was named after a mythical creature able to command the winds on a whim. After channeling chakra to a limb or weapon, the user executes a large swipe, letting loose an intense wind in a one hundred and eighty degree cone. The winds are razor sharp, cover a wide area, and can cut through trees like butter.
  Domain: Fuuton.

Kami Oroshi (Godly Winds From the Mountain)
Rank: B
Type: Offensive / Fuuton Ninjutsu
Range: 0 - 30 meters
