[b]Name: [/b] Minoru Maki
[b]Age:[/b] 15
[B]Clan:[/B] Maki
[b]Gender:[/b] Male
[b]Birthplace:[/b] Iwagakure

[B]Known History and Secrets:[/B]
[Indent]For the mostpart, he is recognized for his ability with a bow. Generally, he is an open book. His clan's Kekkei Genkai is fairly well known, even though his nuclear family is not. He prefers to keep the fact that he was self taught to himself because it isn't as impressive as the backgrounds of others.[/Indent]
[b]History:[/b]
[INDENT]Minoru's father had been one of the stone village's huntsman, having married a shinobi who he had grown up with. Once married, Minoru's mother decided to open up a general store. They sold everything from pelts, to clothes to weaponry. Naturally, even from a young age, Minoru picked up on a variety of skills. His father taught him to use his Kekkei Genkai in order to hunt animals and trap them. Also in his upbringing, he was taught carpentry by his uncle, his parents' store's biggest supplier of weaponry. Nearly an entire summer was spent learning how to craft bows and arrows.

When Minoru went to the Stone Village's academy, he was taught the basic techniques. He was quick to learn and attentive to all instruction. Despite lacking a natural strength for Genjutsu, he was able to develop it to the point he'd surpassed the ability of all his classmates. In class, he was often used to help the others along with their learning by the instructor. As the top student, he was even permitted to graduate early, albeit not by much. As a Genin, without the educational rigidity of The Academy, he began to develop his ability with his smoke techniques.[/Indent]
[b]Personality:[/b]
[Indent]Minoru is generally obedient and willing to follow instruction even if he doesn't yet understand its purpose. He has a patience for results that causes him to be upset or disturbed when there is a sudden change in plans. He is friendly, generous, and attentive to others, despite an interest in his own goals. He enjoys learning new things and developing his own skills. Shooting arrows is his favorite way to relax and unwind. He is also very proud of his own accuracy.

Despite his social outgoingness, he enjoys taking time to himself to simply watch the clouds or take long solitary walks. He is generally easy-going and relaxed. He isn't easily startled as a result of intense training to notice minor movements for archery purposes. To an enemy, he isn't savage or ferocious, he gets silent. When in danger, he does his best to become a hunter and put the enemy down effectively.[/Indent]

[b]Known chakra natures:[/b] Smoke

[b]Kekkei Genkei:[/b] Smoke Release
[Indent]The Maki clan's genetic trait is the manipulation and creation of smoke from their lungs. It is only selectively present and is a prized trait to have. It doesn't quite have the destructive force of fire techniques, nor the full whimsical adaptability of wind, but it has a special niche in concealment.[/Indent]

[b]Weakness:[/b] It has very little ability to push things, the equivalent of a quick shove with a hand. It also can be fairly difficult to line up a shot when not on a level surface because hands do not have 'scopes'.

[b]Nature:[/b] Smoke
[b]Handseals:[/b] Tiger, Rat, Dragon, Snake

[b]Weakness:[/b] Thus far he has only exhibited the ability to sustain one of these clones for thirty seconds before it dissipates. If his concentration is broken, the clone will fade. And he can only make one at a time, due to skill.[/Indent]
