Personality:

• The Man of Four Faces
  
  
  Airontoku Sora is a man who bears a single exterior yet many minds. Four to be exact. Through series of traumatic events in his childhood, he subconsciously created others to deal with the emotions that he was incapable of dealing with at the time. This ranges from happiness to despair, anger to compassion, and morality in general. The four faces of Airontoku Sora have many conflicting ideals, resulting in instability and clouded thoughts within the young man. Over the course of many years he found himself engaging power struggles with these alter-egos, as all were sharing the same body and had striven to claim it as their own.
  
  Despite their differences, they do share similar traits. The four are highly intelligent and are capable of devising and executing strategies with incredible speed and precision, however they all apply said intellect in different manners. They’re all ambidextrous; the four individually concluded that the other personas favored a different hand over the other, resulting in the development of muscle memory for both arms. They all enjoy humor and comical moments in their own ways...some more sadistic then others… Lastly, the four loved all things strawberries.
  
  
• Akuseru
  chaotic good
  "A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort."
  
  
  This is the ideal mind of Airontoku Sora. If there were only to be a single mind occupying this body of his, then it would be Akuseru assuming Sora was given a choice.
  
  Akuseru is cocky, sarcastic, laid back, and very fun loving. People always told him that his mouth would be the end of him, and he couldn’t really argue against it. Fittingly enough, Akuseru finds himself giving just about everyone he meets a nickname. Akuseru is also rather flashy and often makes overly dramatic entrances and reacting in an exaggerated manner. To put it simply, he's silly by nature despite his intelligence. He tends to be a very playful person, often enjoying humor in all its forms. You can usually spot him with a genuine and comforting smile on his face. Vocally, Akuseru speaks with a ring of confidence, enthusiasm, and kindness in general.
  
  He has a very positive outlook on life, trying to find the bright side of just about anything. This being said, it’s quite difficult to bring him down through negativity as he is usually indifferent towards it and simply shrugs it off. He is the type of person who won’t hesitate to speak his mind when needed be and won’t have his beliefs shaken so easily. Akuseru is also quite prideful, leading him to be a relatively competitive person.
  
  Although Akuseru appears friendly and rather open on the outside, he doesn't trust easy. However, when he does trust you, he becomes exceedingly loyal. He places the people around him into three categories: his friends, his enemies, or people who he couldn't care less about. If someone manages to befriend him, he will protect them with his life and lend out a helping hand whenever he can, he is very protective of those who are close to him. Due to a driving emotion of protecting his friends and comrades, resoluteness is a very strong trait within Akuseru. His steadfast willpower carries him even through situations which stress the physical and mental extents of his being.
  
  Of course the feelings Akuseru may have for others don't usually carry on to the other three...knowing this, he'll usually distance himself from others, even the ones he considers close. Especially them. Akuseru's mind is by no means weak, but if compared to his three roommates, then it could be called the weakest. This being said, it is the only persona that Sora is capable of dominating and taking over should he feel the need too.
  
  
  
• Sora

[/b]

true/chaotic neutral

"He who has never hoped can never despair."

Although he carries the birth name, he should not be referred to as the "original". More accurately, this is what is left of the original...which isn't much really.

Sora has a very apathetic personality. He simply does not find himself feeling much emotion towards others at all. Hate, love, sadness, these are traits that Sora is not used to experiencing. This leaves him as a very analytical and calm person. Picking up the smallest of details and processing them quickly is the high point of Sora's capabilities. He keeps his cool despite a situation he may be in, showing no signs of emotions unless he feels a desired need to act should it benefit him. This leads his voice to generally sound monotonous yet serene.

He carries a bleak and empty outlook on the world around him. He speaks bluntly and truthfully, and his cold words have gotten him into trouble more then once with his fellow comrades at the Citadel. He does not carry a strong level of trust in anyone, is very alert. Those that would normally be considered trustworthy friends are merely acquaintances or contacts to him. Even so, he will respect and give aid to the friends of Akuseru, and only Akuseru, should he find them in need of it.

Sora is efficient to the core. He will not waste time exchanging words with a hostile being. Time is of an essence to him, and he has no intentions on wasting it with such trivial matters. Rarely will he regret any of his actions regardless of their outcomes.

Despite his cold nature, Sora's moralities could be described as morally just. Currently, not many things invoke emotion within him, however that does not mean he has forgotten what certain feelings should feel like. He knows when to show respect to others and he has some sort of regard for life and freedom. Telling the difference between right and wrong is something Sora is fully capable of. These moralities lead Sora to act with a sense of...nobility.

Unlike Akuseru however, his other, more agressive, alter egos cannot dominate his mind and take control so easily. One of the prime reasons Sora has honor and morals is due to the fact it keeps his mind pure. For if he gives into a lust for combat, a desire to manipulate, or even immoral acts and petty crimes, Cyprien will slowly begin to surface...


[/li][li]Cyprien

lawful/neutral evil

"I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him."

Deceptive, manipulative, and heartless are three keywords that could be used to describe Cyprien. This side of the Airontoku has a relentless hunger for power. Not just raw, destructive power, but the power to revolutionize the Shinobi world as he sees fit and mold it into an ideal world, a utopia. Of course, what Cyprien deems "ideal" is quite...debatable. In fact, his biggest issue regarding this is dealing with his fellow counterpart, Akuseru.

His cynical view is a transcending trait that separates him from Sora. This leads him to be uncaring about his fellow man, and is only guided by his desire to rule over his inferiors, i.e. everybody but him. Of course he is no fool however, and is not one too rush out arrogantly to get himself killed. He knows his goal may very well take his entire life to fulfill, it is something that requires absolute patience and proper conspiring.

Cyprien is someone you could be best friends with for your entire life, and then when the moment is right, he'll take your life with out hesitation. Everyone in existence are merely pawns, placed onto this world to do his bidding. As stated before, he is well aware that this is something that is not to be done directly though and he operates in the shadows. Relying cleverness and cunning antics, he seizes powers by using the tools god created for him. People.




[/li][li]Bane

chaotic evil

"I felt anger. Fury. Pure, pulsing hatred. I welcomed it all."

[/left]

Bane is the embodiment of Sora's hate, his anger, and his despair. Bane's strong desire for blood— to see it, feel it, create it— has turned into an unmatched resolve which only fades when his body is broken and incapacitaded from pure physical stress. Bane believes his purpose is to do what his very name implies, to cause misery or death. Thus, once he has control over Sora's body he will seek out just that.

He is the result of all of Sora's negative emotions as a child. His hate, sadness, agony, remorse, fear, all of it. Sora, for lack of a better term, "sealed" his feelings away into Bane. This ego is by far the strongest of the four, but has only surfaced twice in Sora's eighteen years of living. Only through diligent training has Sora been able to keep Bane locked away, however, with every passing day the beast that slumbers within slowly makes its return.

Usually when Bane is in control, the scar over his eye throbs with a burning pain constantly. Not only is it physical pain, but it cuts away at him emotionally, causing him to become more chaotic and wild over time. There is no hesitance when Bane acts and by using hate as his drive, his destructive power is unmatched in comparison to his other selves. [/size]

[/blockquote]Appearance:

Sora’s mid-length hair is pure, snow white in color. It’s only somewhat in his eyes, and falls just past the tip of his collar, at his mid-neck. Taking on the traits of the Airontoku, his eyes are of a crimson glow, contrasting the blankness of his hair. On his left ear he wears a plethora of earrings. Along the side rests a multitude of ring-earrings, varying in color between red, black, and white. On his lobe rests a slightly dangling, square-shaped earring. It is red in color, with a small black stripe through its center, horizontally.

His features are somewhat soft, though not extremely, accompanying his tanned skin tone, which, like his crimson eyes, takes on the traits of the Airontoku in its slight red tint. He has a scar that runs vertically through his right eye and a diagonal one cutting across his back. The red skin tone of the Airontoku are most noticeable through his scars, opposed to the rest of his body. The seal that rests on every Airontoku sits upon his lower back, some call it a mark of ownership, however Sora prefers to label it as a mark of pride. In addition to his current list of oddities compared to the rest of his brethren, Sora has a fairly small build. Not nearly as bulk and big compared to the soldiers he surrounds himself with, but upon closer inspection it is clear his body is defined and is in just as much shape as any of his other comrades. The only difference being size, which caused some of the others to look down upon and even understimate him, though he would quickly clear up any of those thoughts personally.

A sleeveless undershirt rests tightly against his skin, beginning just under his chin. This area beneath the skin is somewhat loose, comparatively, and can be lifted to cover the lower parts of the Airontoku’s face, and is black in color, like the rest of the undershirt. Over top of this piece of clothing resides his main attire. This over-shirt is mostly black, and lined with silver cloth. Its collar raises only just below his chin. This color has a small, white design, which simply has four “limbs” which reach upwards and slightly inwards.

The shirt is open at its center down to Sora’s mid-chest, revealing a bit of the undershirt, with the left side ending folded beneath the right. Only a bit beneath the ending of this opening is a horizontal, rigid line, which is made of the same silver cloth that lines the shirt. At the center of this line rests a metal ring, held in place by four separate, hooked pieces of cloth which extend from the sides, beneath his arms against the stitching in the cloth. Each extends from one corner of the outfit, with the top two reaching up and over his shoulders, and the bottom two down against the aforementioned stitching, not quite at the bottom of the outfit. Like the opening above, there is a folding with the right side above the left, which opens into a triangle that transforms itself into a rectangle which is only open to the front of the shirt, once again revealing the black undershirt in the area around his top two abdominal muscles. The opening closes itself just above his bottom two, and falls slightly over his pants at the tips of two triangles which also fold themselves over each other, leaving a small, triangular opening to reveal the undershirt just above his pants.

Resting over his left bicep is an armband, which looks as if it folded over itself at the back, and is made of metal. It has somewhat intricate designs against its surface. His hands have a fingerless glove of the same material and design, which open in a somewhat wide circle to reveal red cloth which braces his forearms up to their midway point. Both fingers have a simple ring on their middle fingers.

His pants are a light gray color, with a black cloth belt. The belt’s design has a gray lining along its bottom, which small extensions upward at small intervals. The belt has two chains extending from their center towards an area of darker cloth at their sides, which are lined with small, metal loops on each side. The chain extends through each loop back and forth, until it connects to itself at its bottom. Sora’s pants, additionally, have two brown, cloth belts on the right leg with small silver squares lining its bottom, and metal circular buckles. The right chain has two small, black tassels.

[Sora]

Peace is a lie, there is only Passion

[/font][/center]

“Bloody bane of my existence is what you are!” He would say drunkenly as his hand lazily smacked the back of Sora’s head.

Bane. It represented everything spiteful, petty, and mean about his father. It struck at the innermost fears of every child: fear of disappointment, fear of abandonment, fear of violence. As a kid, that name had hurt more than all the smacks from his father's heavy fists. Day in and day out he would endure through the verbal and physical abuse his father would inflict upon him, however he had resolved not to give into his despair and carried on with his life normally outside of home. One would have to ask, where was the boy’s mother? Of course she had moved onto the heavens far long ago, falling into cardiac arrest upon Sora’s birth. Tragic indeed, but nothing the boy could miss. He had always wondered how his life would be had his mother been around, yet he highly doubted his father would fail at finding another excuse to bring him misery.

His skin would thicken with each passing day, learning to ignore the threats and insults directed at him by his father. He was unsure of how he was able to cope with such a thing so…well. When he was out at the academy or anywhere away from his father it was as if he were a different person, always smiling and bringing out the best in himself and others. However, when he was at home his emotions were always in a frenzied mess. At times he was full of hate, misery, or even pain. Regardless of what he was feeling at home, he always portrayed himself to be, for a lack of better term, emotionless. Apathetic even. Most of Sora’s time was spent on rooftops, his hand reaching out to the moon, wondering if he would ever break through the chains that bound him to the Citadel. Yet with each year, his optimism would dwindle.

The door would slam shut behind his father as he spat out slurred curses left and right. It was another one of his drunken rages, however this time he seemed far more enraged than usual. He began blaming all his problems on Sora once more, telling him how he was stuck in this rat-hole because of him and placed his mother’s death on his shoulders. He even began to rant about how he was indebted to everyone due to having to feed him when the fact was that he drank away all their Ryo in bottle of Sake. He lit into his son with the savage fury of a bitter, hopeless man. He broke his nose; he blackened both his eyes. He knocked several of his teeth, split his lip, cracked his ribs, and he even attempted to gouge his eye out with a kitchen knife. Managing to leave with his eye intact, albeit having a scar, Sora fled to his room leaving his drunken dad to pass out on the floor. As he held his head under his pillow, soaking his sheets with crimson he wished for nothing else than his father to die. He would repeat such wishes in his head over and over until he dozed off into a deep slumber.

Sora would be awakened by a loud commotion outside of his room at the crack of dawn. Oddly enough he found himself sleeping on the chair; he didn’t recall getting up from his bed. His father had died. It was decided by the authorities that he had died of natural causes. A heart attack, brought on by a combination of alcohol, stress, and overexertion of nearly beating his son to death. Oh well, was all that went through his head. He even grinned a bit when nobody was looking; having a devilish smile that would soon be locked away. The boy with a genuine smile and innocent laugh had surfaced once again, only this time he never left. Not yet at least.

Things would take a quick turn for the young Airontoku however, for there was none available to take him in and what was better than to enlist a fine young man into the ranks of the Airontoku military? That was just what he was to do, as decided by the higher ups of his society. Whether it was for better or worse was out of the question, for nothing is worse than what he had left behind.

Through Passion, I gain Strength

[/center]

Sora’s power had been growing. In only a year of training he had learned much about the raw power an Airontoku held. He was years younger than any of the other trainees, however he could feel that he was far stronger and more talented than any of the others. The higher ups had taken note of this as well. Physically, he was stronger than ever before. During his morning training runs, he could sprint almost at full speed for several kilometers before having to stop. His reflexes had become quicker, his mind and senses were far sharper than he could have possibly imagined. When necessary he could channel chakra through his body, giving him bursts of energy that allowed him to do seemingly impossible feats. Run up walls, leap several meters vertically, fall great distances and landing unharmed. It was incredible.

With each week he would surpass another of the soldiers who had once been ahead of him. Their poor attempts at hazing the boy with a contrasting personality and appearence would come to a hasty end. When he wasn’t training his body, he was in the library studying ancient records. Scrolls and manuscripts of the past were absolutely fascinating. There was so much outside of the iron fortress he dwelled within. Shinobi villages were one of the more popular subjects as well as unique Kekkai Genkais.

The neophyte spent several hours each day studying the ancient records. He became infatuated with them. Many of the scrolls were historical records reminiscing ancient battles or glorifying the deeds of the older clans. There was one that stood out in particular to him, one of azure eyes and free spirits. However the information gathered on that seemingly extinct clan was scarce. The library’s archives supplemented what he learned from the trainers, giving context to his abstract lessons. In time, Sora would feel that the ancient knowledge would be the key to unlocking his full potential. And so his own understanding of the world around him would slowly take a shape of its own.

Another year would begin to pass, and the matured Airontoku of fifteen years would soon be ready to ship out. His time spent training and studying in the library had done him well. Yet now he understood that this was only the beginning. The Airontoku was starting to grasp a great truth on a deep, fundamental level: that the strength to survive must come from within. Others will always fail you. Friends, family, fellow soldiers... in the end, each person must stand alone.

Through Strength, I gain Power

Nejiro no Shiroiraigā, or the Citadel’s White Liger, it was a name his comrades in battle had coined. He held the courage and nobility of a Lion within him. However, he had the judgment and acted with the skill of a tiger. The title of a Liger, a cross between the two cats, was more than appropriate for the Airontoku soldier. Sora had crossed blades with many at this point, and his mastery over the Airontoku bloodlimit surpassed many. His growth would seem to know no bounds.

At this point of his life the soldier had come to a realization of his schizophrenia. His multi-personality disorder was something that had daunted him multiple times in the past, after all people feared what they did not understand. As Sora grew in his power, so did the eternal struggle for control within. Akuseru, a carefree and free spirited boy, his creation was an escape from Sora’s troubles at home. Through Akuseru, Sora was able to cope with the way his life was, and thus was able to continue on living. Sora himself can be described as empty, a person who lacked in emotion or feelings yet knew the difference between right and wrong. The third was Cyprien, a cold and manipulative man whose intentions revolve purely around himself. Lastly, it was Bane, the embodiment of Sora’s hate. It took all of the Airontoku’s effort to seal away Bane. However, with each passing day the boy knew Bane would not remain dormant forever.

At the age of sixteen, the battle hardened Airontoku would get his first major assignment. He was to lead a unit to infiltrate a small kingdom in Tsume no Kuni. The team was to liberate the kingdom of its tyrannical leader in exchange for the resources available in that country. The mission was of high priority due to the situation the Citadel was in. The resources that would be made available by the kingdom were a necessity to the dwellers of the Iron Citadel. However, said resources were scarce and seemingly unattainable at the time. Failure was not an option.

The squad would move swiftly in the night, covered by the coat of darkness. Sora’s team was far too small to take the entire kingdom head on, in addition to that it would be to reckless. Instead they would meet with the rebel forces, however their strength would not be of any use if used directly. Instead, Sora would cause anarchy within the kingdom alone. He would then send out a signal notifying both his unit and the rebel forces too charge into the kingdom and come to his aid. The plan was one of deception, one that would require far more cunning and skill then Sora had. In fact, the plan was not of Sora’s nature to begin with. This of course was the work of Cyprien.

The soldier managed to infiltrate the kingdom with little to no problems. While the sun still slumbered, he would assassinate a guard and take his uniform. Following this he would sneak into the barracks and use his mastery over the Airontoku bloodlimit to render their equipment useless. This alone would give his small force the edge they needed to overtake the kingdom. By the time sun had risen he was already making his next move. Conveniently enough he ran into one of the king’s Royal guards who covered themselves in a large red cloak. Upon disposing him he would change his attire once more before making his final move. By now the guards had awakened and realized their equipment was unusable as well as finding some of the corpses Cyprien had left behind. The seeds of doubt had been planted.

Upon reaching the bell tower he would ring it with all his might. The signal had been heard, and soon the clashing of weapons would be as well. With the battle beginning and morale on his side, Cyprien only had one thing to take care of. Making his way to the throne room disguised as one of the King’s Royal Guard, he would kneel before the king and give his report.

“A rebellion?!” The King asked in shock, thinking he had crushed the rebel forces long ago.

“No Sire…” Cyprien said softly before turning his head up and flashing a wicked grin at the king. “…A revolution!” Nejiro no Shiroiraigā would shout as he unsheathed his blade and lunged towards the King, quickly ending his life. Cyprien would be showered by a spray of blood, his demonic grin still intact. His lust for blood had been increasing, and he quickly eliminated the guards that would respond to the King’s earlier cry for help. Licking the blood off his lips, he felt an even stronger craving. Blood simply wasn’t enough at this point, he needed to bring misery upon his enemies.

Bane. What seemed to be sealed off for a nearly a decade had resurfaced once more. Sora had resolved that his father had indeed not died of natural causes, but was the result of Bane. Proof of this was his location upon waking up that very same day, an explanation that took far too long to come too. Sora’s body was in Bane’s hands now, and as long as he was in control misery and death would shroud the kingdom. Cutting through both enemies and allies alike, blood would taint the walls of the castle. Using the raw power of the Airontoku Kekkai Genkai he set the castle ablaze, and eventually it would fall. With the castle having fallen, the kingdom had been liberated.

Through Power, I have Victory

[/font][/center]

The large gates of the Iron Citadel would creak as it opened, only to reveal that a single person was to leave. Finally, the now seventeen year old Airontoku would be outside of the fortress that he had resided within for so long. His chains had not been broken quite yet though and he was not going out on his own accord. Although he was partially free to do as he pleased, he was to return within a year with the head of his old superior, who had apparently gone rogue. He was charged with the murder of several clan members as well as an attempted assassination of Nibare Hassei, an Honored Brethren Sora had grown to admire. The Shiroiraigā found that he was able to connect with said Brethren’s odd qualities. Often being harassed in the academy days for his own lively personality, seeing another Airontoku with similar qualities, an Honored Brethren at that, made Sora view Nibare as an older reflection of his own self.

The previous day:

“Are you sure we should allow him to go?” One of the Brethren said, his voice booming as it echoed through the conference room they were discussing. They had been discussing Sora of course, since he had been the one to step up and take the assignment. Murdering a fellow clan member was the greatest sin and Airontoku could commit. Making an attempt at the life of a Honored Brethren had dug the Rogue’s own grave. “Senzoku used to be his superior officer after all…and the Kingdom of Lyneel incident...” Another would speak out softly, supporting the louder Brethren. They were against the idea obviously, Sora was a good soldier but they didn’t feel he should have such freedom.

“Ha! Let him go, It’ll be fine.” A confident voice would cut them off, it was Nibare. He had been leaning back in chair quietly enjoying their conversation until now. “Have a little faith.” He told them, and before they could say anything else he would quickly cut them off. “Should he fail I will take full responsibility. I place my honor and position as Honored Brethren on his shoulders for now. Now enough of this nonsense, we have more pressing matters to discuss don’t we?” His voice would sway the rest as the silent Empath nodded, having not partake in the discussion at all. His acknowledgement of Nibare’s points had been enough for the rest. Sora had been approved.

Before he had arrived at the gate Nibare had met with Sora. He told him to start his search at Hi no Kuni and to look for an old friend of his by the name of Sakamoto Ryuichi. He would be able to teach Sora the skills he would need to take down Senzoku. Following this he would whisper softly to Sora, “Heh, I’m sure he’ll be able to help you seal your inner demons.” He’d say with a chuckle before slapping Sora’s back and sending him on his way, as if he knew about the chaos that whirled within the Airontoku’s mind. As Sora walked out the gates, they would creak once more as they came to a close. He could hear Nibare’s voice as it did giving him a word of advice, “SHOULD you not come back within a year, I WILL kill you myself!” He said in a lighthearted voice as if he was joking, which he was not.

So his search would begin, starting with the lush forests of Hi no Kuni. Within due time he would find the man named Ryuichi, he was a large man at that. His eyes held wisdom and his scars displayed his experience. It would appear that Nibare’s influence had carried itself outside of the Nejiro since Ryuichi had accepted Sora as a pupil upon mentioning his name. His training was vigorous and death defying. The Airontoku had been naive, to think he held such power when great warriors like Ryuichi existed outside of his home. He soaked in his knowledge and teachings like a sponge, treating his teacher's ideals as law itself. Following Ryuichi's philosophies had strengthened Sora in mind and body, and as Nibare said he had been able to control his “inner demons.” His master had expanded his combat experience as well, teaching him a variety of ways to handle even the toughest situations. The power Sora would tap into next would likely be his greatest however. Ryuichi, although unable to perform such a skill himself, aided Sora through the process of molding chakra with just one hand. Very few could do such a thing, and he was astonished at the fact Sora himself could reach such levels of advancement. However, Ryuichi had no intentions of keeping a pupil he had nothing left to teach, and so the boy was dismissed from his tutelage. His hunt would need to continue elsewhere.

His next encounter would be one of the famed White Eyes lineage. Traversing through Hi no Kuni, Sora had run into another man of strong resolve. However, the two resolute warriors didn’t come to terms at first glance. Sora had recognized this figure, from the updates he received at the Citadel, it was the 5th Fire Shadow of Konohagakure. Hyuuga Ichijin — known as Madoukishi No Hyuuga to those who dwelled within the Iron Citadel. The two’s battles was short and soundless, with neither triumphing the other. It consisted of Sora’s Inkaten going against Ichijin’s Shunshin. While Sora’s technique was superior, his adversary had refined his core abilities to the point of perfection. Why did the battle start? Well the two had been traveling through a town and evidently the local vendors had been complaining of robberies. Well each of the fighters had bags of their own and a misunderstanding had built up, which had quickly been dissolved soon after. As the two disappeared from site multiple times, they would finally clash swords only to find the true culprit cowering in fear at a distance at the sight of their battle. Apologizing to one another, the two had a long discussion and continued their travels of the world together, deciding they would part ways once their respective purposes deemed it necessary.

Sora was simply amazed by his Hyuuga companion’s vast knowledge. He had learned so many things as they traveled from country to country from both this person and their experiences as they adventured. He learned of the many Kekkai Genkais in the world and some of Konohagakure’s famed clans, as well as some famous clans outside of his home village. Sora’s ignorance of the world seemed to fade away as he learned a great deal from Ichijin. His friend was careful not too divulge too much information, something Sora both understood and respected. He too wouldn’t give away many details of the Airontoku, but he shared what he could with the elegant Hyuuga. Unfortunately, their adventures, or misadventures even, had to come to an end. Sora discovered information on Senzoku, the target he had been searching for all along. The two would part ways at Kawa no Kuni. With a simple tap of their backfists against one another, the two would flicker away, leaving only a cloud of dust behind.

Senzoku had been residing in Kiba no Kuni, taking refuge in Port Porthos. And so the Shiroiraigā would arrive at said location and begin his head hunting. He had asked around some of the local townsmen if they had seen Senzoku around, being sure to flash them a quick picture he had been given back at the Citadel. Most pointed him towards another townsperson, telling them to ask them instead and he felt as if he had been going back and forth throughout the port. He noticed something odd between all the people he had spoken with, however he shrugged it off as he was in a hurry. Finally being given a proper clue, Sora was told to check in a cavern not too far from the port. Making his way out of town and back into the desolate lands of Kiba no Kuni, he found the earlier mentioned cavern. As the Airontoku explored the cavern, he would make it all the way down to a dead end where he found several torches illuminating a large grotto within the cavern itself. It was odd, but he would find his mark soon enough.

“I’ve been waiting for you, amateur.” He said, referring to what had called him back when Sora was but a trainee, sitting on an almost throne like chair. Sora found many shadows covering his own, and glanced backwards. Behind him stood the townsmen he had been asking, it was no wonder why they had been sending him on a wild goose chase all over the port. With a snap of Senzoku’s fingers, they would all lunge towards Sora in an attempt to impale him with a multitude of weapons.

So the Shiroiraigā would then roar. The circle of ten or so enemies would find them surrounding but a blur and the real Sora had taken to the air. With a swipe of his sword a blast of wind would scatter the huddled up group of enemies. The ones directly hit by the gust of wind would have their bones break and limp around in the floor, where as the others flew towards the walls of the cavern. Upon landing, a number of blurs would be seen all over the cavern as a loud thud sound followed the last breaths of the remaining enemies. The Airontoku had been careless though, and Senzoku had came behind him and slashed diagonally across the warriors back. Normally such cuts wouldn’t pierce the skin of an Airontoku such as Sora, however Senzoku’s blade wasn’t so dull. Combined with his swordsmanship along with the molten power of his heat conduction, it was more than enough to create a scar upon the Shiroiraigā’s back. Anger in his eyes, he would stand up and unleash the full fury of the Ryuujin Jakka upon Senzoku, disposing of him almost instantly. Unfortunately the surge of power would cause the cave to begin collapsing, and Sora quickly exited with the head of his enemy.

Through Victory, my Chains are Broken

Justice, courage, compassion, courtesy, honor, sincerity, and loyalty. The tenets that Ryuichi had taught were found in the eyes of his fellow brothers at the Citadel. Upon his return, such traits were established to himself in the eyes of others and to others in the eyes of his own. His victory of the rogue officer known as Senzoku had returned a great deal of respect to Sora among the higher ups, and he even received a promotion. Nibare and he had only exchanged a cheerful grin where as the other Brethren had shook his hand and gave the boy some acknowledgement.

Sora had been viewing things in a different light, but despite viewing the Citadel more of a home than a prison, he still felt bound. He still felt the need to leave the iron fortress and explore the world himself. His adventures with Ichijin had taught him that much. He knew that he would resign from the military and take his time off to explore the vast continent and all it held within.

His emotions had been more in control as of late and he was free to allow Akuseru have control and retain the ability to intervene at any time. However, such conveniences did not apply to his more malicious counterparts. He had his training with Ryuichi to thank for that. No, he had Nibare to thank even more so than his training. Had it not been for his optimism and faith in Sora, then the Shiroiraigā would surely not have made it as far as he did. Although the two did not speak many words, he felt a connection between him, and regarded him as someone he could trust and depend on. In fact…

Friends, family, fellow soldiers... in the end, these are the people that you can depend on.

Total EXP: 700

Airontoku - 400

Hinote (Heat Resilience)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary / Clan Kekkei Touta / Youton Ninjutsu
Range:Self
Special: Each rank allows immunity to flames and fire of jutsu one rank below their own skill rank.
Description: With mastery over the arts and skilled manipulation over their own body temperatures, those of the Airontoku develop an affinity for the heat and grow more physically immune to flames and magma, to the point they soon walk through fire and lava unharmed.
Domain: Airontoku.

Airontoku (Ironhide)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary / Clan Kekkei Touta / Youton Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Special: Each rank allows immunity to bladed physical attacks of one rank less - i.e. the 'C' ranked version blocks 'D' ranked attacks, etc. Does not guard against blunt or smashing type attacks.
Description: Over time spent with intense magma exposure and control, the skin of the user becomes resilient to weapons to a certain degree. With this prolonged exposure to the heat, their skin becomes rough and rugged, like that of leather, but to a much more durable degree. As such weapon attacks from bladed weapons such as kunai and swords become less effective against the clan member.
Domain: Airontoku.

Bon Bon (Temperature Control)
Rank: C, B, A
Type: Supplementary / Clan Kekkei Touta / Youton Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Special: At 'C' rank, the user may control his or her body temperature only to twice the average human body temperature. (97.6 degrees F., aka up to 195.2 degrees F.) The 'B' rank version allows use of other more offensive techniques (3 times the average human body temperature). Only the most skilled are able to master A rank, which opens a wider variety of techniques (4 times the average human body temperature).
Description: Upon reaching the age of 5, all children of the Airontoku are taught the basics for manipulating and controlling body temperature. A key essential for all members of the clan, such a technique has various stages which allow higher temperatures to be used.

Type: Supplementary / Clan Kekkei Touta / Youton Ninjutsu
Range: 0 - 5 meters
Special: Affects an area of 5 meters, plus 5 more each time retrained.
Description: The user allows their body to radiate heat from them and no longer holding their body heat back, the temperatures around them begin to increase as well. With each passing turn, the air temperature increases by 50 degrees F from the current temperature. Of course, the area affected is at the highest temperature near the center of the aura (closest to the user) while the outer rims are substantially cooler. (The farthest rim of the aura is 50 degree’s cooler.)
Domain: Airontoku.


Doton - 150

Doton Ryouuken (Earth Dominion)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary / Doton Ninjutsu
Range: 0 - 50 meters
Special: Dominion extends 10 meters in every direction of the user, and goes up 10 more with each rank learned.
Description: The basis behind the majority of Doton techniques lie in the user's ability to control the very earth around them. 'Earth Dominion' is just as its name implies, a fundamental supplementary jutsu of Doton nature that allows the user to intermingle their chakra with that of nature, harmonizing the two in order to create complete control over the earth around them. Once this link is achieved, the door is opened for greater creations to be made.
Domain: Doton.

Shinjuu Zanshu no Jutsu (Double Suicide Decapitation Technique)
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary / Doton Ninjutsu
Range:Self
Special: Does not require handseals. User cannot move while underground, but they can detect anyone that walks along the earth above them. Radar radius is circular, and measures equal to the user’s Earth Dominion. User can remain underground for a single turn before needing to resurface; each time retrained, the user main remain underground for one extra turn.
Description: A very basic earth technique, it allows the user to dive underground almost instantaneously so that they remain hidden from view in order to ambush their opponent. As long as the opponent is walking across the earth, they will be aware of their presence, and can wait patiently (without fear of asphyxiation!) until they right time, where they will emerge and latch onto the opponent’s legs. From here, they can easily suck them down, executing a replacement with them so that the opponent is buried underground up to his neck, while the user emerges unharmed above ground.
Domain: Doton. Earth Dominion 'D'.

Dochuu Eigyo (Underground Fish Projection)
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary / Doton Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Special: Range of movement depends on the user’s level of Earth Dominion. While the user cannot perform seals and thus use jutsu underground, they can wield weapons in order to surprise attack. User can remain underground for a single turn before needing to resurface; each time retrained, the user main remain underground for one extra turn.
Description: An upgrade to Shinjuu Zanshu, this underground variation grants the user movement whilst underground. Additionally, they can also emerge from below with their weapons drawn, allowing them to attack without being seen. After a few short seals, the user merely sinks below, and can remain there for a small amount of time.
Domain: Doton. Earth Dominion 'C'. Must know 'Double Suicide Decapitation'


Katon - 150

Katon Bunshin no Jutsu (Fire Clone Technique)

Description: With this technique, the Katon user is able to call upon aid from a perfect copy of themselves. Comprised purely of a most intense fire, this clone retains the user movement speed and can share linked mental judgement. Best of all, due to its flowing essence, many solid physical attacks pass through the clone, burning instead whatever was used to strike them. Finally, when defeated, the clone explodes into a blast of flame that aims to take over the nearest opponent available in the form of napalm.
Domain: Katon

Haisekishou (Burning Ash Accumulation)

Domain: Katon
