[hider=Shen's Bio] [hider=Shen] [center][img]http://s28.postimg.org/4avtkt9r1/Kenta_naruto_oc_2012_by_hyarion_d50asky.jpg[/img][/center] [b]Name: [/b] Shen [b]Age: [/b] 14 [b]Gender: [/b] Male [b]Birthplace: [/b] Konohagakure --- [b]Known history and secrets: [/b] [b]Personality:[/b] Shen's personality is a bit of an enigma to those who stand outside his small circle of friends. He rarely opens up to anyone who he doesn't have a reason to trust. It isn't due to a lack of social skill or a general shyness of any sort; Shen is simply void of any social desire. He doesn't seek out attention or popularity, though they end up finding him one way or another. He was always the "cool" kid on the block - the smooth, suave, and surreal. Every detail of his character is a matter of discussion among teenage civilian girls that swooned over him when he lived in the market district. However, ever since he decided to tread the path of the shinobi, he discovered a new found silence. For what he lacks in verbal communication is made up for with his amazing ability to empathize and understand an individual's intentions. This is part of the reason he flows so well with anyone and everyone, though it seems as he doesn't even try to make friends. They just get to him first. [b]History[/b]: Shen was born to a high-ranking ninja within the Hidden Leaf Village. He spent his infant years with his mother, who had given up the life of a shinobi to settle down and raise her child properly. He lived an average first few years - somewhat pampered by his loving mother who believed that he would soon be ready to follow his father's footsteps and join the academy. However, at age eight, Shen's father was convicted of treason for reasons unknown to Shen. For weeks, he and his mother were forced into "protective" custody while the village searched for his missing father. The only memory Shen has of this time in his life is his mother telling him to never lose faith. This message was carved into his brain - the image of his mother telling him to hold on kept him going/ Two days before the search was to be called off and Shen and his mother were to be released, Shen's mother, along with a good number of guards were murdered. Shen was the only one to survive the assault, whose sole suspect was Shen's father and anyone who may have accompanied him. Shen was traumatized, and he didn't speak a word from the time he was taken to the hospital to the day he was discharged. Drowning in a sea of confusion and despair, Shen attempted to fight off the emotions while Konoha worked to put him in a foster home. There, he tried to mask his emotions and pretend like everything was fine and that life would go on. But the psyche of an eight year old can only go so far, even for someone matured well past his years like Shen. The night that he felt his loneliness was suffocating him, that his pain was overwhelming and unbearable, he decided to run away. He ran as if each step drained away the suffering that he was forced to endure, despite his nurses' and teachers' every attempt to help him through it all. He didn't reach far before he passed out, sobbing away the last of his consciousness. He was picked up a patrol of Stone ninja who took him for the lost son of a merchant due to his unique style of clothing. With no trace of his parents, they decided to take him back the Iwigakure. Upon waking up in a new land, a new world, Shen felt completely reborn. He still felt the grief from losing his mother, but he didn't feel completely lost for whatever reason brought forth by his presence in Iwigakure. When asked for his name, he simply gave his first, choosing to forget who he was and start anew. In Iwigakure, Shen regained his old self, managing to once again attain peace of mind and happiness. Now, he lives a happy-go-lucky life as a genin who seeks the best in everyone and everything. [b]Clan: [/b] none. [b]Dreams and aspirations:[/b] Shen speaks to very few people, but when he does speak, it usually relates to his dreams and fantasies of going down in history as a hero. [b]General strengths:[/b] Strong willed and brimming with good vibes. Hard to anger. Can take a hit really well. [b]General weaknesses:[/b] Doesn't show strong emotion for many people, despite feeling for everyone on the inside. Speaking of his mother can bring back traumatic flashes - the sensitive subject is a pressure point on his mental status. --- [b]Combat intel:[/b] [b]Known chakra natures: [/b] Unknown [b]Kekkei Genkei:[/b] Unnamed/unknown. What is known is that his chakra signature is hard to read because it blends with the chakra of his surroundings really well. [b]Skill Specialization: [/b] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Senjutsu]Senjutsu[/url]: Shen always found himself to have an extremely strong connection with nature. As a young child, he would spend hours upon hours idling about in fields and forests, "speaking" to animals and basking in the natural beauty of the world. He loved taking naps in trees, where the wind seemed to heal any wounds he had, both physical and mental. His mother told him he had an extremely unique chakra, capable of melding with the natural chakras of the world extremely well. He was "one with the world" as she would always say. In truth, his chakra was extremely pure in the sense that it could almost be confused with the natural chakras coursing through the realm (the air, the water, the wildlife, the greenery). Shen only has a rudimentary grasp of his senjutsu abilities. He cannot sense other's chakras or harness nature energy as of yet, but he can feel nature's chakras around it and mold his own chakras to a degree. [b]Jutsu's that (s)he has shown capable of using: [/b] [b]Canon:[/b] -Transformation Jutsu [b]Custom:[/b] [b]Name:[/b] Senkami [b]Kind Of Jutsu:[/b] Senjutsu [b]Range:[/b] Self [b]Rank: [/b] C [b]Nature: [/b] Senjutsu [b]Handseals: [/b] None, but Shen claps his hands together to help focus his chakra. [b]Description: [/b] Senkami is Shen's first and only original jutsu. He has a natural affinity for feeling and blending with natural energy. Having trained his chakra to connect with the nature energies around him, Shen can create an aura of golden chakra around his entire body (or specific body part), like a translucent armor. This armor can not only enhance his physical attacks, but can greatly increase his defense. He also feels little to no pain from physical strikes when it is activated. Essentially, this ability causes his chakra to leak from his body and instantly react with natural chakra, which creates the power-enhancing armor. Shen believes this jutsu can have many other effects - he just has to discover them. [b]Weakness:[/b] Chakra leeches can steal this chakra extremely easily. Piercing the armor is a direct blow to his chakra reserves. He may end up hurting himself or over exerting due to his inability to feel pain when it is active. He cannot hold this ability for more than a brief time. --- [b]Equipment Info:[/b] [b]Shown weapons: [/b] [b]Name: [/b] Ninja Tools [b]Description: [/b] Kunai/Shuriken/Cords/Smoke Bombs/etc[/hider] [hider=Shen's Personal Info] [center][b]Personnel files[/b] [b]Warning:[/b] keep locked in filing cabinet [i]These files are intended for trusted eyes only.
