APPEARANCE,

HEIGHT: 5'11.
WEIGHT: 162 lbs.
EYE COLOR: Light Blue.
HAIR COLOR: Lavender.

With pale skin and a lanky but in-shape body, Ikeda doesn't stand out much from others until they take notice to his hair. Lavender hair has become the general means of identifying Ikeda, with many actually calling him 'Eggplant,' or 'Nasu,' for the odd coloring even though it's a much darker shade of purple. His facial features are warm and inviting, supporting his title amongst the Minakami but contradicting the lifestyle he has resolved to embrace.

In regards to clothing, Ikeda has two uniforms for formal and informal events. While the only truly consistent part of his casual attire is a tattered jacket, he'll generally wear what consists of a tanktop, pants, and sandals. The jacket, according to him, is tattered out of fashion and not age. It boasts slots inside that allow him to carry light items without sacrificing comfort while offsetting his otherwise unimposing visage. On formal occasions, Ikeda will actually wear a bit of a three-piece suit, consisting of slacks, a vest over a button-up shirt, and his tattered jacket with the addition of a fedora.


PERSONALITY,

VIRTUES:

dauntless • ambitious • charismatic • self-reliant • spirited

VICES:

stubborn • defiant • sardonic • selective • impulsive

LIKES:

flower candy • feathers • fresh air • fair weather • solitude • tranquility • art

DISLIKES:

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

Ikeda is certainly fractured. The loss of his father was so surreal that he found himself plagued with curiosities about the life he lived and the world he lived in. The result was a preoccupation with death and finality, a muse he dares not entertain out of fear of being distracted from his duties. He has come a long way from his childhood, however. Ikeda is no longer the quiet boy he used to be, now very capable of holding a conversation. Even so, he chooses to be a succinct individual. This is more-so out of the fact that he has been called an asshole many a time due to being oblivious, blunt, and sometimes caustic in humor. Still, those that Ikeda chooses to affiliate with cannot deny the fact that he is an extremely loyal individual, and sincere to the core. Once one has gotten to know Ikeda, it isn't hard at all for them to say that he means well. It's just that he has an awkward way of presenting his good intentions.

Type: Defensive
Handseals: --
Chakra Consumption: Low

Useful against Ninjutsu, this allows the Iaijutsu practitioner to defend against attacks they usually would not be able to, as the cutting swath the technique extends allows it to slice through fireballs and other such constructs, though clever usage is recommended to avoid being overwhelmed.
Note:The cutting shockwave is 10 meters in length.

This technique allows a kendo master to purge all of their experience into a surreal body movement. This movement allows them to analyze their opponents completely within the users range by studying others and the user tensing their bodies for sudden movements.
Notes: This is fully dependent on role-play movement but just gives the ability to perceive attacks, but not predict. Simply put, this is nothing more than a greater clarity during battle than most shinobi; it will simply offer the user a marginal edge, dependent on the execution of the role-play in question.

Transfer was approved by Genbu prior to the site reopening, but the original profile was deleted. However, it's just a simple +1000 XP transfer.

Alternatively, this old bio would be cool.

At any rate, that's 1575/2000 EXP. 425 to the sidebar?

Everything looks fine. Do note, though, that you effectively used up all six slots that you are allowed for a character.

Approved.
