Appearance Descriptions
As compiled on basis of the 11th corps intelligence gathering, including pictures❖ Appearance--Takashi stands out in most crowd, as most Trueborn tend to do when traveling outside of Ryuu no Kuni. His body is covered with patches of hard scales, mostly along his shoulder, back, and shin areas, with some spread out else where. The coloration of the scales match that of his hair, which is an electric blue, though his scales are a few shades darker than his hair. Not only that, but his hair is much coarser than that of most people, and tends to stick out from time to time no matter what he does. Beyond that, he also has spiky, bone protrusions along his shoulders and on his head, all of them being rather sharp and, due to the difficulty of maneuvering, make it so that he spends most of his time not wearing a shirt, making him stand out even more. His eyes, which are more angled than normal, are a light golden color, his pupils usually set in reptile-like slits, and this contrasts somewhat disturbingly with his dark grey sclera. Another inhuman feature of his anatomy is that he has a prehensile tail that reaches out to about three and a half feet, covered in similarly colored scales. Even amongst his clan, this is a very, very odd feature that is put down to his strengthened relation with the blood he inherited from his mother.
Focusing on his more human characteristics, he has a rather lean build, one seemingly built for speed then power, with very little in the way of a bulky muscle on his frame. When it comes to his face, it's rather angular, with his canines being a tad bit longer, as well as his teeth on a whole being much closer to fangs than most people are likely comfortable with. As far as clothes go, he tends to just wear some jeans(specially tailored to account for the tail) and shinobi sandals and that's it, though when dealing with a mission, he does wear the flak jacket for added protection. If a shirt is ever explicitly needed, he has a special shirt made of a more durable material that won't tear apart as his spikes poke through, but since they can only be used once, and are kind of expensive, he tends to just avoid any events that would require he wear them.
❖ Build--While Takashi doesn't look that physically imposing, he's stronger than he looks, able to easily life about double his own weight on his own. That being said, he's still rather lean and skinny compared to most other Trueborn, with his weight speaking more towards his denser bone structure than anything else. He does have some tone to his build, as any Chunin who's even moderately trying does.
Psych. reports
Medical secrecy applies.❖ Friendly ❖ Stubborn ❖ Smart-Ass ❖ Open-minded ❖
❖ Personality--Takashi has always been a very active and trouble-making individual, keeping a smile on his face when faced with nearly any kind of situation. Coming off as aloof and flippant to most people, he enjoys making jokes and pulling pranks, and over all, making fun of everything and everyone he comes across. MOst people who have met Takashi would say they can't ever see him looking angry, no matter what anyone has said or done to him. He usually just brushes it off, though he does tend to express annoyance or frustration afterwards. Takashi also has a bit of trouble with authority figures, tending to snark at them a bit more than is generally deemed acceptable. He does what is told, but he can never resist having the last word, and this has garnered him quite a bit of a reputation as someone who's too much of a smart-ass for his own good.
In truth, Takashi is not as happy go lucky as he appears, but he's learned not to let others know when they get under his skin. "People can only hurt you as much as you let them." This was what his mother told him time and time again, a mantra that he has taken to heart. However, this has made him rather on guard with most people, making it even harder for him to make actual friends, as he's never willing to actually open up to people about himself. He will be nice, he'll be sociable, he'll listen to your problems, but the moment you attempt to pry into his life, he'll shut you out.
❖ History--Mark down the characters background. For help you could order it like so:
Takashi's clan has long had a history for being isolated, having lived in the mountains of Kaminari no Kuni for sometime and not being particularly welcoming to any outsiders who attempted to encroach on the mountian they called home, known as Ryu no Kuni. Kumogakure often launched assaults on the mountain, insulted by having a force not their own within their lands, but every assault was mercilessly rebuffed by the clan's strong warriors, and the clan heads ability to summon forth powerful beasts that gave the mountain it's name, seeming to embody the very elements themselves. And for years it continued like this, the assaults lessening as Kumo turned it's eyes outward, ignoring the puny spec of a clan that wished for nothing more than to exist within their own lands. THis would go on until about a hundred years prior to the current events, when the clan decided to make contact with Kumogakure.
The reason for this sudden outreach was that, due to their insular tendencies, the clan was suffering. A growing number of children were being born with deformities and their people were far behind the rest of the world in terms of technology and health. In short, they were stagnating as they were, and if things continued, they'd be a shadow of what they were before. Needless to say, such an arrangement was not made in their favor, as they weren't operating from a position of much strength. Their warrior s numbered very few, and even though the Clan head could summon mighty beasts to destroy the village, Kumo had it's own ways to hold them back in the form of the tailed beasts, who were highly likely to run of such invaders, not to mention that such an action would only draw the ire of the other nations. As such, they were required to, after some number of years, to enlist their children into the Kumogakure Shinobi academies, to defer to the Raikage's leadership at all times, and to send a delegation to live within the village, which must include the clan head and two of their elder council. With very little choice, the Ryuuga clan agreed, and so the assimilation began. In the falling hundred years since, the Ryuuga clan has become a rather entrenched and specialized part of Kumo's military,t heir skills in ninjutsu making them excellent shock and awe forces that were known throughout the ninja world.
That being said, they were not exactly welcomed with open arms into Kumo, and even to this day, many people of Kaminari no Kuni seem them as little more than monsters, with their appearance doing little to help with that. The dislike of the situation is mutual, however, as the members of the clan felt that outsiders are weak and inferior to them in all respects. To hopefully ease the tension, the Clan head decided to have a political marriage between her daughter, Kaede, with the son of a Council member, hoping it would help build bridges instead of burn them. Kaede was less than happy about it, but understood it was their duty to do so, and thus, it came to be.
Now that all of the background information out of the way, let's get into Takashi's history. The product of a political marriage, things could have been worse. While it was quite obvious that his parent's didn't really love each other, they were sociable and friendly. In fact,if it wasn't due to them being forced into this, they might've been good friends. In regards to him, Takashi had a strained relationship with his father, who had trouble seeing past his more inhuman features, especially when Kaede looked so much more human than most other Ryuuga clan. This left him to spend more time with his mother than anything else, though that came with it's own share of difficulties as he had to deal with her rather strict training regimine. She knew that, in order to make things better faster, her son would need to appear strong so as to appeal to the traditionalists that mingling with those not of the clan wouldn't be the worst thing in the world, and thus, would stop trying to stomp such matches out whenever they do pop up. When he reached academy age, it was expected of him to not only do as well as other kids, but to do better, while also doing his best to improve relations between the members of the clan with the rest of the village by making lots of friends. To say that it was a bit much to heap on the kid was an understatement, and while they didn't explicitly order these things, it was suggested through rewards and praise. The problem was, half the other Ryuuga clan kids thought of him as an abomination, as they're told by their parents, and most of the regular village kids didn't want anything to do with him. It was hard to get people to even approach him, and him approaching them often ended in glares or frightened glances.
It was around then that, readying up on his history, he read about the 7th Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki, and his earlier exploits and antics. The more he read, the more ideas popped into his head about how he could probably change people's opinion of him. And so began a long career of practical jokes that marked the rest of his academy life. He went from being the kid to avoid to the one people went to to hear all the awesome stories of how he tripped up adults in his surprisingly elaborate pranks. Which only grew in their absurdity and scale as he got older. While his parents tended to be far from pleased with his choice, his father being especially so, he had started to stop caring about what they said, entering his 'rebellious stage' which is much worse for Ryuuga as it is for anyone else. However, even during these fun times, he felt something was off with the world.
It was like a Tidal wave, how swiftly the world was swallowed by the Confederate's power grab. Even before they had assumed the title, Takashi was suffering from their tyrannical rule, as his father and the Clan head worked with the Raikage in order to deal with the coming onslaught, preparing to extend Ryu no Kuni's defenses to the whole of Kaminari no Kuni, especially around Kumo. Before the plan could be put into action, The Clan head disappeared, and with him, the Dragon Summoning scroll needed to assign a new Clan head. Not only that, but Takashi's father also disappeared one night, never to be heard from again. While on the outside, Takashi didn't appeared bothered by these events, in truth, he felt their absence deeply. But more than that, he began to notice changes to society that he couldn't abide by, especially once he began to leave the village more as a Genin.
The quality of life in Kumo began to harshly degrade for most civilians, as the Confederacy which took them over inly seemed to care for the military strength of the village and nothing else. Along with this, people who spoke to loudly against the new order where noticed to have gone missing shortly after, and while the news stated that people where happy and everything was fine, one could see, if they dug just a bit under the surface, that it wasn't so. While the world had been made peaceful with the rise of this one banner, their was a moral cost to it all, where people where to be silenced for speaking their mind. Not to mention that the tendrils of political corruption could be seen blossoming within the ruling bodies of the world, even within the council of heralds, who gave into the coming wave with an almost practiced ease, and were rewarded like lap-dogs with cushy living spaces and secure positions of power as long as they kept their clan members in check. The clan, once a sign of fierce independence, was whipped to be just like the rest of Kumo, a neat little factory used to make soldiers for the leaders to use like pawns.
For a time, Takashi was no different, staying in line to protect himself and his mother from suddenly disappearing in the dead of night. That is, until he heard about the Jyutei Rebels, who were growing in power and numbers each day thanks to their new leader. It was around this time, hearing about people standing up to this tyrannical regime, and actually making some form of headway against it, that Takashi made his choice. He waited until he was made a Chunin, completing the ceremony to gain his clan's Hiden Jutsu as was the custom. Soon after, he deserted, going forth on a recon mission with one other shinobi. Neither of them returned, and while Takashi felt some remorse for what he had to do, he didn't let this stop his resolve to do what he felt was right, no matter what the cost was. Eventually, he made his way to the rebels and joined them, feeling glad to be free of the Confederacy's iron fist and being able to enjoy freedom again. The fact that their commander wasn't as bloodthirsty or insane as the propganda stated her to be was simply a bonus as far as he was concerned. He's unsure of what might have happened to his mother as a result of his desertion, and he tries not to think about it whenever possible. However, if it comes down to a choice between rescuing his mother, if she even needs it, and helping the rebellion, he'd choose the rebellion. He goes to bed every night reciting that choice to himself, and every time, he can't help but wonder if that's the right choice to make, or how certain that resolve would be if he's actually faced with such a situation.
❖ Familial ties--Takashi hasn't talked to his mother ever since he left the Confederacy a year ago, but they were on good terms last time they spoke, if somewhat strained due to the fact that his mother saw nothig wrong with the way things were. To her, while the system wasn't perfect and things could be better, attempting to force chagne will only make things worse for everyone involved. Takashi simply responded to that by saying that things often had to get worse before they could get better.
Kaede | Mother | 39, Kumogakure, Tokubetsu-Jonin
❖ Dreams, short term goals, and fears.--Long-term, he want's to bring down the Confederate, for no other reason then he feels that their way of doing things is just wrong, and they need to be stopped by any means necessary. He also wants to find out what happened to the Dragon Summoning scroll and his Grandmother, and he suspects the Confederacy has something to do with it. Short term, he doesn't really have much besides trying to not die. As for fears, he mostly is scared of having to choose between his clan and the rebellion. He also is afraid of what might have happened to his mother as a result of his desertion, but as previously stated, he really tries not to think about that.
Combat reports
Gathered based on exercises, training routines, and combat experience reports❖ Combat style--A close-to-Mid range Ninjutsu specialist, Takashi seeks to take full advantage of his natural speed and agility to dance around his opponents, shocking them to hell and bnack with a barrage of Lightning based Ninjutsu, as well as using his specialized fuinjutsu focus of explosive seals to add some more variety to his skill set. When things get close, he goes with wielding a Ninjato and Kunai, aiming to slice his opponents apart in order to make up for his lack of physical striking power. Another thing about him is that, due to his particular strain of Ryuuga blood, his from is somewhat more frail than most others, meaning he can't take many hits before he has to retreat or goes down, thus he focuses on evading his opponent and flanking them rather than going head on, making him most effective when paired with another person to help draw some of the fire.
❖ Kekkei Genkai--❖ NameDragon Blood Awakening
❖ DescriptionThis Kekkei Genkai has two affects, one that occurs passively from birth, and another that is activated through the use of the Ryuuga Hiden Jutsu. Passively, this Kekkei Genkai turns all of the Ryuuga into Super-specialists, giving them all extremely strong Affinities with a single element, Lightning in Takashi's case. These affinities even manifest when Chakra is separated into Spiritual and Physical energy, meaning that even non-elemental jutsu become charged with Elemental chakra. It also alters their body so that, depending on their affinity, they have set strengths and weaknesses that they can't overcome. In Takashi's case, he has a strong Lightning affinity, great agility, dexterity, reflexes, and most of all, speed, but he's more fragile than most and doesn't have any true physical striking power. Essentially, he's a designated 'Glass Cannon' from birth. The second affect is that, by focusing their chakra, they can activate the Draconic blood within their veins in order to evoke a number of aspects in their safe, making them stronger in some shape or fashion through their clan's Hiden Jutsu.
❖ StrengthsThis Kekkei Genkai makes it so that, if they're playing to their strengths,they become a very dangerous Ninjutsu threat, with the ability to wield and control their chosen element to a degree that most can only dream of. Not only that, but by using their Hiden Jutsu, they can also further increase their battlefield presence, making them excellent shock troops to disrupt enemy formations and cause lots of damage with powerful Ninjutsu attacks.
❖ WeaknessesObviously, due to the fact that he can only use Lightning Jutsu, Wind users are a very, very big problem for him, especially in regards to his Hiden Jutsu, as most have the weaknesses that taking a hit of an opposing element will immediately shut them down and leave the user greatly weakened for some time. His weak body is also another issue, forcing him to rely on evasive maneuvers at all times. With this, if he's not partnered up with someone to help cover his weaknesses, than he's likely to find himself in a bad position, hence why members of the Ryuuga clan tend to form fighting groups of at least two, so that neither find themselves completely shut down by a Jutsu user of an opposing element.
❖ Ninja techniques■ A rank techniques■ B rank techniquesRaiton:Kage bunshin no JutsuThis is actually just the regular Kage Bunshin Jutsu, but thanks to his KG, the clones will disperse into electricity when they expire. The maximum amount of clones he can currently make is two.

Current Transfer Jutsu
■ Rank
D
■ Range
Touch
■ Description
Takashi creates a sort of electrical current on his hand, this current can then be transferred onto any weapon he happens to be holding at that moment be it a kunai, senbon, shuriken, or even a sword. The next physical attack he performs is charged with this electrical current, if he blocks a weapon attack with his own weapon the current transfers over shocking the attacker, usually causing some form of minor burn damage and numbness in the affected area. If by chance the user is not carrying a weapon he can transfer this current into his opponent's weapon shocking him, or can even hit him with this current.
■ Name
Raiton: Lightning Blast Jutsu
■ Rank
C
■ Range
Close
■ Description
Takashi launches forth a continuous blast of electrical energy at a target, upon which they feel highly painful shocks throughout their body. While this attack hurts quite a lot, it inflicts very minor burns and his a generally low lethality to it, though depending on where the subject is it hit, it can cause certain complications and effects upon the target, such as trouble breathing if directly hit in the torso or blurry vision and slight disorientation on a headshot.
■ Name
Twitching Limb Jutsu
■ Rank
C
■ Range
Touch
■ Description
Takashi channels a large amount of electricity into his arm. Once it's done, it can linger for 2-3 posts, during which Takashi can transfer the charge into the target either directly or through a metal weapon, upon which the effected area will contrast and clench as the charge passes through them. This will not only cause extreme pain to the individual, but it will also completely paralyze the limb to the area of effect for two posts.
■ Name
Eletric Detonation Jutsu
■ Rank
C
■ Range
2 meters per clone
■ Description
All lightning based clones will instantly explode into a burst of electrical, shocking and stunning those caught in the blast, as well as causing minor to intermediate level burns depending on how close the target is to the blast.
■ Name
Raiton: Thunder Fang Jutsu
■ Rank
B
■ Range
Medium
■ Description
After performing the needed handseals, Takashi creates a cloud of chakra around him, which rises into the sky, only to come down sometime later upon a designated target in the form of twin bolts of Lightning. The actual attack can be delayed for about 2 posts, and the power of this attack actually depends on the amount of chakra put into the sky. This jutsu increases in effectiveness when there are some sort of clouds in the sky to help conduct the electricity, as well as to help hide the attack a bit, as the chakra creates a cloud due to the electrical charge drawing in water molecules in the air and such. If used on a cloudy or stormy day, or in conjunction with a jutsu that creates dense fog, then it increases in power by a decent amount.
■ Name
Charging Thunder Dragon Jutsu
■ Rank
B
■ Range
Medium
■ Description
Takashi runs through a number of handseals, then slams his hands into the ground, causing an intense burst of lightning chakra to run through the ground, taking the shape of a snarling dragon. As long as Takashi's hands remain on the ground, he can manipulate the dragon's movements, making it possible to have it hit multiple targets or constantly harass a single target. If one gets caught by the dragon, they'll suffer painful 2nd degree burns and numbness through out their whole body as it arcs through them. While this jutsu isn't draining on it's own, it does come with a constant chakra drain the longer he has it out for.
■ Name
Hiden Jutsu: Scales of the Dragon
■ Rank
A
■ Range
Personal
■ Description
After performing a string of Handseals, Takashi will slam his fists together, causing a flare of electrically charged chakra to from around him, soon forming into a thin layer of chakra that sticks to him like a second skin. Despite it's flimsy look, the chakra is actually incredibly dense, giving him a durable outer shell that absorbs a good amount of damage from physical and Ninjutsu attacks(especially those infused with Doton Chakra) as well as completely deflecting kunai, shurikens, senbon, etc, though it's not as strong as other Ryuuga members due to his Lightning affinity. Another effect of this jutsu is that it makes him completely immune to Lightning based Jutsu of equal rank or lower and greatly reduces the damage of he'd tale from an S rank Technique.He can then increase the strength and duration of this jutsu, which is about 5 posts, with the chakra from the attacks, or to enhance his next ninjutsu attack instead.
Unfortunately, this armor has one pretty major drawback, and that is that if Takashi gets hit by a wind-style attack, then not only will the jutsu be instantly disabled, but due to the connection this jutsu has with his chakra system, he'll be unable to use any ninjutsu above C-rank for 2-3 posts, depending on the strength of the attack, not to mentin that wind attacks will completely plow through his defenses.
