APPEARANCE,

HEIGHT: 5'11.
WEIGHT: 162 lbs.
EYE COLOR: Crimson.
HAIR COLOR: Raven.

Makoto doesn't stand out much from an initial glance. He sports a narrow chin with shallow cheekbones, features that take away from what some would revel as a 'babyface' and giving him a visage seemingly sharpened by his rough life. Standing at five feet and eleven inches tall, he certainly can't claim to be a giant. Still, being slightly above average in height, he finds no issues with his current altitude. Makoto maintains an athletic physique, weighing in at about one hundred and sixty-two pounds. Although he's no Lou Ferrigno, the acrobatic stunts that he's pushed himself to achieve throughout his bouts of taijutsu training and free running have granted him a tone mass of muscle that is at least effective in helping him maneuver more than anything. His practice of the sport has also lead to many injuries throughout his childhood, his form mildly matted with scars from some of the incidents. The most visible scar on him rests upon his right cheek, though it's still small enough for him to cover it with a bandaid-- Something he's done frequently.


PERSONALITY,

VIRTUES:

dauntless • ambitious • charismatic • self-reliant • spirited

VICES:

stubborn• defiant • sardonic • selective • impulsive

LIKES:

clocks • ferris wheels • things that are systematic • fair weather • bittersweet flavors

DISLIKES:

• arrogance • demands • his past• slime • extreme sweetness • loudness

Makoto's personality is, for lack of better words, intricate. Complicated, detailed and yet, at the same time, the boy is somewhat simple minded. Emotionally damaged from his past, he developed into quite the cynical man with a compulsive habit of maintaining distance between himself and any other individual he knows. Since the closest people to him as a child betrayed his trust, he decided not to give others a chance to from that point on. He has actually resorted to using humor as a defense mechanism and means of maintaining distance, as it's rare to go through a conversation with Makoto and not experience some sort of sarcastic, sardonic or just plain facetious response in order to pass through said conversation without building any attachment.

Within this sense of distance from others comes a disregard for their opinion. He cares not for what anyone else thinks of him and, as such, is far from judgmental. This makes him an easy person to be around, though his snarky persona makes it difficult for someone to confide in him and receive serious help. Ironically, the walls Makoto established between himself and others haven't made him anti-social. In spite of a desire to not grow attached to anyone, he isn't above making superficial friends and useful acquaintances. The air about him due to his lack of a formal posture makes attracting others not so difficult. His innate sense of humor serves to make him somewhat detestable, however. By those who can't appreciate it, at least.

His disregard for the opinions of others brings about another trait-- Makoto is a doer of whatever the hell he wants! A free spirit, though what others may consider as 'crazy,' he believes in the power of the individual to seize what they aspire for. As such, he goes for what he wants with little care for the consequences. Even so, he detests harming innocent bystanders and especially hates those who use others for personal gain. His deplore for the ways of criminals, reckless habit of acting without considering the consequences and lack of care for what others thinks have manifested several times in the form of vigilante acts

C: 20 m range.
B: 30 m range.
A: 40 m range.

In its most basic form, the user can simply create a pile of wood, usually from an extended body part, which will then continue to exist until it is broken down. However, it can be used as a supplementary technique with other Mokuton ninjutsu to allow the user a wood source when there is none, or else in a surprise attack against the opponent. When used in this second instance, the beams will fly from the body and formulate the technique that the user is performing as if from any other wood source.

TAIJUTSU (750 EXP),

SPOILER: Click to show

Danger Close
Rank: C-Rank
Type: Taijutsu
Range: 10 Meters
Chakra: Low
Special: The user nocks an arrow, aims, and fires one shot in half the time it normally takes them to do so. Danger Close can be used only once per IC day, and must be performed before any other attacks. Can not be combined with Suppressing Fire, regardless of masteries.
Description: While Danger Close is arguably the most simplistic of all the Watcher techniques, that does not mean that it is the weakest. To the contrary, it is actually one of the most useful techniques an archer can have, as its primary function is to defend oneself against close-ranger fighters, the natural bane of all archers. After repeating the same nock and fire motions hundreds, if not thousands of times, an archer possesses the ability to briefly move purely through reflex and instinct, firing off a hastily aimed shot twice as fast as normal.
Domain: Archery

Suppressing Fire
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Offensive / Taijutsu
Range: --
Chakra: Low – 2xHigh + Upkeep
Special: Rank learned determines increase in firing-rate. Must be used before any other attacks in a turn. Lasts one full turn before needing to be re-cast. Can not be combined with Danger Close, regardless of masteries.

D: x 1.2 Speed
C: x 1.4 Speed
B: x 1.6 Speed
A: x 1.8 Speed
S: x 2 Speed


Description: By practicing their ability to draw, knock, aim and fire an arrow, the user can learn to quickly lay a lot of damage downrange. Suppressing Fire is aptly named, for its function is, literally, to suppress a target through overwhelming fire.
Domain: Archery

Sharpshooter
Rank: D,C, B, A, S
Type: Offensive / Taijutsu
Range: --
Chakra: Mid
Special: Rank used determines range increase and speed decrease.

D: 1.2 x Range / 10% Speed Reduction
C: 1.4 x Range / 20% Speed Reduction
B: 1.6 x Range / 30% Speed Reduction
A: 1.8 x Range / 40% Speed Reduction
S: 2.0 x Range / 50% Speed Reduction


Description: By firing an arrow in an arc instead of in a straight line, the user can “lob” an arrow, allowing it to travel further distances than normal. The downside to this art is that by curving the arrows trajectory, you are in fact adding more to the distance it needs to travel, thus increasing the amount of time it takes to actually reach the target.
Domain: Archery

O.S.O.K.
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Offensive / Taijutsu
Range: --
Chakra: Low - 2xHigh
Special: Rank used determines damage stacked to shot. Can only be used with non-”special” arrows.
Description: Mastering the art of bonus tension is one of the many overlooked fundamentals of being an archer. By holding out past the point of firing, one can enhance the arrow far beyond it's initial damage. The technique, therefore, is aptly named “One Shot One Kill” due to its frequent tendency to pierce through defenses and outright kill an enemy.
Domain: Archery

Shotgun
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Offensive/ Taijutsu
Range: --
Chakra: Mid
Special: Rank learned determines maximum amount of arrows that can be fired simultaneously. Number of arrows fired simultaneously determines range reduction.

D: 2 Arrows / 10% Range Reduction
C: 3 Arrows / 20% Range Reduction
B: 4 Arrows / 30% Range Reduction
A: 5 Arrows / 40% Range Reduction
S: 6 Arrows / 50% Range Reduction


Description: The technique is one of the hallmarks of the Watcher style, firing more arrows than a normal person would believe is possible. It's been said that with proper mastery of the technique, the user can fire up to six at a time with all the ability they fire a normal one.
Domain:Archery

Ricochet
Rank: C
Type: Offensive/ Taijutsu
Range: --
Chakra: Mid
Special: Allows archer to ricochet an arrow off of solid surfaces. When first learned, the user can ricochet the arrow off of one surface. Can be relearned up to nine times, increasing number of times arrow can ricochet by one. After each ricochet, arrow range and speed is decreased by 10%.
Description: A tricky technique that exemplifies how cunning an archer can be. By bouncing their arrows off the surface of an object, they undercut the opponent’s ability to defend against it, striking deep into the target when they least expect it.
Domain: Archery

Air Burst
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Offensive/ Taijutsu
Range: --
Chakra: Mid
Special: Rank used determines arrow hang-time. Arrow hang-time determines range reduction.

D: 3 Second Hang-Time / 10% Range Reduction
C: 6 Second Hang-Time / 20% Range Reduction
B: 9 Second Hang-Time / 30% Range Reduction
A: 12 Second Hang-Time / 40% Range-Reduction
S: 15 Second Hang-Time / 50% Range Reduction


Description: One of the more interesting techniques within the Watcher arsenal. The Air Burst technique is performed by, seemingly, just shooting an arrow almost straight up into the air. At least, that's how it looks to casual observers. The reality however is that the arrow isn't shot straight up, but rather at a trajectory that is so steep that it appears to be straight. The arrow is launched in such a way that as it is fired in an almost straight line, it also comes down in an almost straight line. Air Burst therefore is potent when used in a function similar to artillery, as it can bypass most defenses simply by coming from an angle most people never think to defend against. A skilled archer can launch an arrow with such accuracy that it can go high enough to stay in the air for quite some time, long enough even for an unfocused enemy to forget that it's there!
Domain: Archery

Coriolis
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Offensive/ Taijutsu
Range: --
Chakra: Mid
Special: Severity of curve is determined by rank used.

D: 10 Degree Curves
C: 30 Degree Curve
B: 50 Degree Curve
A: 70 Degree Curve
S: 90 Degree Curve


Description: By putting the proper spin on an arrow, similar to throwing a curveball, the user can actually cause the the arrow's trajectory to curve in mid-flight. Many an unlucky individual has died with a confused look on their face after having been hit by an arrow that they were sure they had dodged.

Special: Allows the swordsman to progress through the teachings of Iaijutsu.
Description: A defensive nature of fighting, all Iaijutsu practitioners will tend to stand in closed positions, leaving little openings and making sure to make the least amount of wasted movement possible so as to remain solid like a rock.

Special: Learning 'B' rank "Art of Mental Presence." increases defense by one rank. Learning 'S' rank version increases damage rank once more. Stops up to 1 attack per strike, plus 1 more each time retrained, for a maximum of 4.
Description: Commencing from any position, the practitioner draws their sword and moves to deflect or simply block the strike, then resheathes. As the user becomes more proficient in Iaijutsu, more strikes can be defending against in a fluid movement, before they are overwhelmed by the attacks.
Domain: Kenjutsu. Iaijutsu 'D'.

Cunning Mind
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Passive / Specialized Taijutsu / Kendo
Range: 0-5 Meters
Chakra: N/A
Special: Allows the user to become highly perceptive of their opponent, allowing them to analyze their mannerisms in order to zone in on weaknesses and vulnerable areas to strike. It is important to note that while this does not automatically grant the user evasion against one single attack, this allows the user to have a much, much improved chance at understanding a Taijutsu attack one rank lower than the highest one known.
Description: Through repeated duals, clashing of swords and study of adversaries, the user has gained an uncanny knack for analysis. This manifests itself in numerous ways, such as discovering hidden weaknesses, finding vulnerable points in both weapons and attire as well determining the opportune moment to strike by observing patterns.
Domain: Kendo.

Disrobed
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary / Specialized Taijutsu / Kendo
Range: 0-5 Meters
Chakra: Low
Special: Enables the user to strike at a weak point in an adversaries clothing, effectively creating an opening. Hitting a strap, button or stitch in the right way to cause the fabric to tear and lose of the clothing to occur. Works on any fabric made item. Though this does not automatically guarantee a disrobement as RP determines everything, it increases the chances of it occurring greatly.
Description: By utilizing their immense analytical ability, the practitioner is able to spot out a weak point in fabric made equipment. With just a quick strike they can disrobe an opponent, causing embarrassment, an impediment in fighting ability as well as a general loss of gear. This can only unhinge gear of an Equal rank to the users highest known Cunning Mind rank.

I'm going to just post here to make it note that this profile still needs approval for transfer and Mokuton. Hopefully a higher-ups sees this and acts accordingly.

Also, we don;t have Tertiary as a separate field any longer. You're either Nin/gen pri, tai-secondary, or vice-versa.

I'm not sure if you've made the effort to contact staff for the approvals, but I'm giving you one more week to have this done, or else it will be archived.

If you are having trouble getting someone to look this over for approval, please either reply to this thread letting me know or send me a personal message. Thank you.
