PERSONALITY

Allegiance - Kusagakure no Sato, Family, Himself.
Alignment - True Neutral

Cunning is one of the first things to come to mind when describing Akatome. He's always been quite a crafty one, even is his youth. Throughout his life, Akatome has learned that if anyone ever lets anything slip that could be used against them, regardless of who they are, he would have to take a mental note of it. It is impossible to foretell when or if such information may be needed, but it's always better to be prepared.

Loyal to those who he deems worthy of his loyalty. Though secretive and probably difficult for others to put their trust in, Akatome does well to keep his word on things. If he's a part of something bigger than himself, something that rings true in his heart, he will stand by it and fight to protect it. The same goes with people and he won't leave someone for death, if they mean something to him, of course.

Aloof, apparently, but perhaps not truly. Yes, Akatome does have something of a knack for whistling tunes and talking to the sky like a child. The man seems to be aimless more often then not, which makes a number of his comrades question him and his merit as a shinobi. Yet, true to his aloofness, he rarely pays them any mind. Ripples in a pond are of far more importance.

APPEARANCE

Height - 6'0
Weight - 165 lbs
Hair - Black
Eyes - Black

Not exactly an average frame, though definitely far from anything extravagant. He does, however, modestly take some pride in what genetics have given him. He stands at a height of six feet flat and weighs around one hundred and thirty five pounds. His hair, stringy and unkempt, falls elegantly from his crown. His eyes, almost snake-like in both their shape and vibes, are as black as the night is dark. His physique is lean and agile, due mainly to his lifestyle and genes. His pale skin would appear to be flawless if not for a scar just above his left eyebrow, a remnant of a childhood memory.

Simplicity is something that has always intrigued the man, especially when it comes to attire. He feels that true beauty lies in simplicity, which is an ideal that shapes the way he appears. His clothes, like his body, are sleek and precise. Black slacks, a collared, white button-up shirt, and a set of black suspenders are all it takes to satisfy the man with how he looks. His Hitai-ate is generally never seen on his forehead unless he's on a mission. It's usual spot is either around his neck or around his waist.

NINJUTSU

RAITON - 650 EXP

SPOILER: Click to show

Karai Shin (Lightning Wrath's Reach)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary / Raiton Ninjutsu
Range: 0 - 50 meters
Handseals: No
Chakra: --
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. Highest rank known determines the strength of the thunder, the distance at which one can control it, and finally, the speed at which the user can displace it.
D: 10 meter range / 3 meter per second
C: 20 meter range / 6 meter per second
B: 30 meter range / 9 meter per second
A: 40 meter range / 12 meter per second
S: 50 meter range / 15 meter per second
Description: Though powerful, Raiton can become uncontrollable even in the hands of the experienced, forcing its users to focus first on controlling their power in small areas, and then, over time, expanding. As one's experience with thunder and its control grows, so does the range at which they can become deadly with it.
Domain: Raiton.

Purazuma Booru (Plasma Ball Technique)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Defensive / Raiton Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Handseals: Yes
Chakra: D - Low, C - Mid, B - Mid x2, A - High, S - High x2
Special: Highest rank learned determines strength of lightning sphere. Though no handseals have to be held once the sphere is complete, no other jutsu may be cast while plasma is active. Can be held as long as the user's chakra reserves allow it. Highest rank known determines strength of sphere. Area of sphere is determine by the user's highest Karai Shin range, halved.
Description: A highly strategic raiton jutsu, the Plasma Ball allows the user to create a thick sphere of Raiton around their body, able to shock anyone that comes in contact with it immediately.
Domain: Raiton. Karai Shin of equal rank.

Eikoudan! (Thunder Style – Light Up the Sky!)
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary / Raiton Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Handseals: Yes
Chakra: Mid
Special: Distance flash-ball may travel upwards and blind depends on the user's 'Karai Shin' range. Blinding affects anyone whose vision comes in contact within flash (as long as they're within range), and lasts up to half a second, plus another half each time retrained. However, after every fourth retraining, the consumption will go up by one.
Description: After performing the correct handseals, the user opens their mouth and spits out a small glowing blue ball into the sky. It consists of highly compressed Raiton energy, packed tightly during the technique’s preparation. Once it reaches the skies, it goes off in a brilliant blast, blinding all flying within the area blind for a short period. Excellent for when the Raiton user is outnumbered or simply surprised by aerial assailants, and has no way to fend them off when escape is necessary.
Domain: Raiton. Karai Shin 'C'.

Raiton Bunshin no Jutsu (Shocking Clone Technique)
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary / Raiton Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Handseals: Yes
Chakra: Mid
Special: Up to one clone can be made at a time, plus one more each time retrained. Being elementally based, this clone can use any c-ranked or lower Raiton techniques the user knows. Can be relearned up to 4 times for a maximum of 5 clones created.
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's movement speed and strength. While easily capable of being use for offensive means, the Raiton Bunshin also makes for an equally solid defense due to its ability to harness Raiton-based techniques.
Domain: Raiton. Karai Shin 'C'.

Ikadezuchi no Utage (Lightning Bolt Feast)
Rank: B
Type: Offensive / Raiton Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Handseals: Yes
Chakra: Mid x4
Special: Range of the lightning plumes depend on the user's highest 'Karai Shin' range. Up to one foe can be targeted at a time, plus one more each time retrained. However, after every third retraining, the consumption will go up by one.
Description: Although Utage shares a name similarity with Kiba, it’s a far unique and different in many ways. The most notable is that the lightning for this technique travels underground. Once the user makes the appropriate seals, they mold a concentrated amount of chakra at their weapon tip or their fists, and quickly strike the ground with it. Whomever they targeted will soon be victim of a quick traveling electrical surge from below, invisible only until it arrives at its target. It emerges from below them, surprisingly fast so that it shocks the victim whole.
Domain: Raiton. Karai Shin 'B'.

Ikadzuchi no Kiba (Lightning Bolt Fang)
Rank: B
Type: Offensive / Raiton Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Handseals: Yes
Chakra: High [initial + upkeep]
Special: Storm lasts the entire turn it is cast in, plus anymore the user wishes to extend. Distance the sphere can be cast away from the user depends on their 'Karai Shin' range; size/diameter of the lightning striking area is half of it. Storm fires off lightning bolt plumes a meter wide each, randomly around the area within the range every half second. One plume can be fired off, plus one more each time retrained. However, after every third retraining, the consumption will go up by one. Each bolt carries its own damage. Because lightning is unpredictable, there is no real evasive method to this technique other than luck.
Description: Universally known yet still very dangerous, the Lightning Bolt Fang is an ‘area of effect/attack’ technique; essentially, once the user finishes the required seals, to their eyes only, a sphere appears before them, along the ground wherever they choose to target. With the target selected, a storm quickly falls onto that area, several levels of intense lightning sent to wash over and shock all organic material within range. The storm is even so intense that the lightning plumes last for the whole turn. The closer one is towards the central stream of lightning, the more damage they shall suffer.
Domain: Raiton. Karai Shin 'B'.

OTOTON - 650 EXP

SPOILER: Click to show

Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary / Ototon Ninjutsu

Handseals: No
Chakra: Mid
Special: Highest rank determines the range the sound waves produced by the user can travel, as well as their speed.
D: 10 meter range / 5 meter per second
C: 20 meter range / 10 meter per second
B: 30 meter range / 15 meter per second
A: 40 meter range / 20 meter per second
S: 50 meter range / 25 meter per second
Description: The basis behind the majority of Ototon techniques lie in the user's ability to control the very sound waves around them. 'Sound Dominion' is just as its name implies, a fundamental supplementary jutsu of Ototon nature that allows the user to intermingle their chakra with that of nature, harmonizing the two in order to create complete control over all sound around them. Once this link is achieved, the door is opened for greater creations to be made.
Domain: Ototon.

Dabingun (Ventriloquism)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary / Ototon Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Handseals: Yes
Chakra: D - Low, C - Mid, B - Mid x2, A - High, S - High x2
Special: Allows the user to throw their voice across long distances, making it appear as if they were standing wherever the voice comes from. Distance voice can travel depends on the user's highest 'Ototon Ryouuken' rank, doubled. Highest rank known determines type of message to be sent.

D: 1 word per turn
C: 2-4 words
B: 5-7 words
A: 8-10 words
S: Unlimited

Description: A very simple and basic technique, this allows the user to throw their voice across large areas, to the point it can go wherever they wish with sufficient practice. This includes through moving through objects, so that the user can truly make it sound as if they’re within a room.

Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary / Ototon Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Handseals: Yes
Chakra: D - Low, C - Mid, B - Mid x2, A - High, S - High x2
Special: Range at which sonar works depends on the user's highest 'Sound Dominion' rank; sonar works in all directions. Highest rank known determines how many different sound disruptors the user can take before becoming overwhelmed and thus deaf for a whole turn. A sound disruptor is not something like a passing wind or a sneeze, but something unnatural, like an explosion or the growl of a huge beast. Upon hitting the 'S' rank, the user no longer needs to close their eyes to perceive the sound. Finally, highest rank also determines the delay between the sonar's first pulse and the information it brings back.

D: 5 disruptors / full post
C: 10 / 3/4th of a post
B: 15 / half of a post
A: 20 / 1/4th of a post
S: Unlimited / Near-Instant!

Description: With this technique, the user is capable of enhancing their perception of sound via chakra to an unnatural degree. Though their eyes must remain closed for the technique to work, they are essentially granted an even better vision. Capable of discerning sounds to the faintest of heart beats, this allows the user to locate targets both near and far, even if they are not visible to the naked eye. Acting like a radar, it allows all sound-users to truly have an edge in combat! Its only downfall? Too much noise, making the radar hard to read.
Domain: Ototon. Ototon Ryouuken of equal rank.

Kiai (Scream!)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Offensive / Ototon Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Handseals: Yes.
Chakra: D - Low, C - Mid, B - Mid x2, A - High, S - High x2
Special: Scream range depends on the user's highest 'Sound Dominion' range, and it effects friends and foe alike, including the user. Scream induces heavy vomiting, disorientation, lack of balance, lack of overall bodily homeostasis, and panic. While screaming, user must remain in place. Highest rank known determines how long the effects of the user's scream can last upon its victims; effects cannot stack.

D: 1 second
D: 2 second
C: 3 second
B: 4 second
A: 5 second

Description: A very straight forward and offensive technique, scream allows the user to attack multiple targets at once with a powerful, almost deafening scream. The user will need to draw in a deep breath before performing the technique, which will then expand all around the user for the duration of the technique.
Domain: Ototon. Ototon Ryouuken of equal rank.

Oto Bunshin no Jutsu (Sound Clone Technique)
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary / Ototon Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Handseals: Yes
Chakra: Mid
Special: Up to one clone can be made at a time, plus one more each time retrained. Being "elementally" based, the clone use any "C" ranked or lower Ototon techniques the user knows. Can be relearned up to 4 times for a maximum of 5 clones created.
Description: With this technique, the Ototon user is able to call upon aid from a perfect copy of themselves. Comprised purely of elementally recomposed sound chakra, this clone retains the user's movement speed and strength. Best of all, due to its flowing essence, the clone is capable of using a hefty amount of the original user's sound-based techniques either for defensive means or offensive.
Domain: Ototon. Ototon Ryouuken 'C'.

UNIVERSAL - 125 EXP

Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique)
Rank: DDD
Type: Supplementary.
Range: -
Handseals: -
Chakra: Low
Special: Despite popular belief, this is not an ability that allows an individual to teleport, or even move incomprehensibly fast. It simply combines high mobility with some disruption of visibility to conceal those movements. That in mind, if you can conceal your movement, it is common for this technique to allow very long-distance dashes before enemies may notice you.
Description: Shunshin no Jutsu is a basic ninjutsu technique used across the shinobi world by all, ranging from the most basic shinobi to the legends of lore. Considered is a high-speed movement technique - to an observer caught in the optical illusion, it appears as if the user has teleported. This allows the user to escape or attack suddenly, should they need to. However, while a high-speed movement, if used in broad daylight, one will still be quite visible and as such, easier to be defended against.

Rank: C
Type: Supplementary / Space-Time Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Handseals: Yes.
Chakra: Low - Massive.
Special: The cost of the summoning is relative to the item or creature\person in question. For instance, summoning weaponry (kunai, shuriken, senbon) would cost a "low" amount of chakra, while a large beast of a summon may cost a "high" worth of chakra.
Description: A powerful jutsu intended to call forth aid when in dire need, Kuchiyose allows a ninja to summon a a variety of entities and items meant to assist them in a dire situation. From people to animals, to inanimate objects such as weapons and items, these creations come forth out of thin air near-instantly after the seals are done and into the battlefield.

Finally, signing this contract also allows said summoning to be able to reverse summon the human ninja to their own location.

Range: --
Stamina: --

Keep in mind this type of technique requires the user to be still while shooting, which in turn rewards them with increased accuracy, coming forth in the form of faster arrow speed.

Rank: D, C, B , A, S
Type: Supplementary / Ninjutsu / Secret Technique
Range: Hand's reach.
Chakra: Mid [initial + upkeep]
Handseals: No
Special: Can only be channeled through one's hand(s). Highest jutsu rank determines amount of chakra transfered per use. Chakra leeching can occur on any surface, living or non-living, as long as it contains chakra. In order for leeching to succeed, contact with the victim must be established. Thus, highest rank known ALSO establishes the amount of contact time is needed before the leeching can begin. Keep in mind that while Akadou can absorb chakra from anything, they can still be overwhelmed by it, as well as receive its side-effects (for example, you can't put your hands to a Raiton shield-type jutsu and expect to absorb anything without getting shocked.)
D: Very Low chakra absorption / Full Turn contact (5 seconds)
C: Low / 3/4th's of a Turn (4 seconds)
B: Mid / Half a Turn (3 seconds)

Chakra giving can take place within anyone or anything that can house, contain and use chakra. In order for gifting to succeed, contact with the victim must be established. Thus, highest rank known ALSO establishes the amount of contact time is needed before the gifting can begin. Activation functions the same as 'Chakra Kyuuin'.
Description: Once the Akadou learns to control the altering chakra flow of their victims, they understand the nature of reversing that flow so that it fulls their targets rather than empty them. After activating the technique, the user's hand will glow with a special chakra hue which, when their palm touches the target's body, can pass their own chakra onto whomever they wish.
Domain: Akadou. Chakra Kyuun.

Chakra Ichida no Jutsu (Chakra Paralysis Technique)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Offensive / Ninjutsu / Secret Technique
Range: Hand's reach.
Handseals: No
Chakra: Very Low - Very High [initial + upkeep]
Special: Can only be channeled through one's hand(s). Paralysis lasts as long as the user's hands are on the opponent. Highest rank known determines the amount of chakra required to break the paralysis; that is, afflicted victim must provide a chakra burst one rank higher than the one being used by the Akadou in order to break free (for example, the 'D' ranked version uses 'Very Low' chakra on the user's part, so the victim must provide a burst of 'Low' or more in order to break free!).
Description: With this variation of 'Chakra Kyuuin', the Akadou finally learns to enhance the potency of their special chakra, to the point it renders their victim's useless midst leeching. Rather than just provide discomfort through absorption, the victim will now be forcefully paralyzed while being touched unless they can provide a chakra surge larger than the one overtaking them.

Highest rank known determines the amount of chakra that is degraded from the victim, as well as the length of time in which the Akadou must hold contact in order for the chakra virus to pass on.

D: Very Low chakra poisoning / Full Turn contact (5 seconds)
C: Low / 3/4th's of a Turn (4 seconds)
B: Mid / Half a Turn (3 seconds)
A: High / 1/4th of a Turn (2 seconds)
S: Very High / Near-Instant! (1 second)

Description: Building on the principle of Chakra Kyuuin, the clan member learns to transfer their special chakra into the networks of their opponent's in order to infect them with a virus that causes an imbalance in their victim's chakra control.

Domain: Akadou. Chakra Kyuun.
