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.

Kikkawa, Blanche - Relative - Up until recently, the last time that I saw her was around the time that Kusagakure fell - something like seven years ago, I believe. She's since become the Kusakage and, under her reign, our village is being restored.

NINJUTSU

KATON - 475 EXP

SPOILER: Click to show

Enkou Shinka (Essence of the Sacred Flames)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary / Katon Ninjutsu
Range: 0 - 50 meters
Handseals: No
Chakra: --
Special: Allows the user the ability to create, control and move Katon (Fire) chakra of their own for multiple purposes. Range of flame control and speed at which one can produce them depends on the highest rank known.
D: 10 meter range / 2 meter per second
C: 20 meter range / 4 meter per second
B: 30 meter range / 6 meter per second
A: 40 meter range / 8 meter per second
S: 50 meter range / 10 meter per second
Description: Katon, the birth of the flame itself. With but a mere thought, masters of the flame learn to birth their fire over large expanses. Intense training opens the door for other techniques, but they all rely on one simple core - the user's ability to birth a flame from a distance.
Domain: Katon.

Housenka no Jutsu (Mythical Fire Phoenix Technique)
Rank: C
Type: Offensive / Katon Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Handseals: Yes
Chakra: Low
Special: Distance of fireballs depends on the highest rank known of 'Enkou Shinka'. Up to one fireball can be made, plus one more each time retrained. However, after every fourth retraining, chakra consumption will go up by one. Fireballs travel in a straight line, but can be manipulated individually if the user is still, is holding the last seal of the jutsu, and has eye contact with the fireball they wish to control.
Description: Basic yet very effective within the Katon arsenal of jutsu, this technique allows the ninja to emit a series of small fire balls after a simple set of handseals are made. The ninja can also hurl a projectile which is covered in these same flames. To the opponent the attack appears to be only the balls of flame, because they do not see the hidden threat within the flames. The flames can be used to cover different projectiles like shuriken or kunai, and only select doujutsu and bloodline abilities allow the user to see through the deception.
Domain: Katon. Enkou Shinka 'C'.

Goukakyuu no Jutsu (Great Fireball Technique)
Rank: C
Type: Offensive / Katon Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Handseals: Yes
Chakra: Mid
Special: Produces an intense stream of fire that can move as far as one's 'Enkou Shinka' rank, halved. Because the flames are slightly more intense than other Katon jutsu, each time this is retrained, the user can stack 'C' ranked burning damage. However, for every fourth retraining, chakra consumption will go up by one. Stream can last up to a whole turn, but when using this jutsu, the user must be standing still.
Description: Goukakyuu no Jutsu is a fundamental Katon ninjutsu technique which allows the user to freely control fire itself as it leaves their body. The ninja does the necessary hand seals, draws chakra from their mouth into their chest and them immediately exhales it. During this point, they then blow a stream of fire which erupts into a large sphere of flames. To better manage the flames the ninja will bring their hand to their mouth to control it.
Domain: Katon. Enkou Shinka 'C'.

Haisekishou (Burning Ash Accumulation)
Rank: B
Type: Offensive / Katon Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Handseals: Yes
Chakra: High
Special: Distance that ash can travel and size of the ash cloud depends on the user's highest 'Enkou Shinka' rank, halved. Ash is expelled through the mouth in the form of a stream. Cone measures 90 degrees at opening. Explosion resembles napalm. Each time retrained, extra 'B' ranked burning damage is stacked; however, after every third retraining, chakra consumption will go up by one.
Description: After forming the needed handseals, the user will expel an ash cloud from his mouth, tinted a dark stoic gray. This large cloud will quickly begin to envelope the area in which a foe stands and when the user clicks their teeth, the cloud will ignite in an violent, fiery napalm-like explosion.
Domain: Katon. Enkou Shinka 'B'.

Kaengiri (Flame Slash)
Rank: B
Type: Offensive / Katon Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Handseals: Yes
Chakra: Mid
Special: Distance depends on the user's 'Enkou Shinka' rank; length of cutters is 20% of 'Enkou Shinka'. Up to one arc can be made per swing, plus one more each time retrained. However, after every third retraining, chakra consumption will go up by one.
Description: Kaengiri is a Ninjutsu used by Katon ninja that combine their chakra prowess with their weapons. After forming the needed handseals, the user draws their sword and imbues Katon chakra into the blade. Once ready, the user will unleash flaming arcs at multiple opponents. Though the slashes are thin, the flames they produce are indeed dangerous, capable of leveling an area in flames within seconds when used right.
Domain: Katon. Enkou Shinka 'B'.
