@Archangel89 Depends on when Tsukune and Tundra finish theirs and what that brings the list to. I'm sure people will double-up if your genin gets accepted. Make the CS, we'll sort it out then.

AGE

ORIGIN
Konohagakure
RANK
Genin
APPEARANCE
Genji stands around five feet being rather tall for his age and at the top of his frame sits a literal mane of dirty golden hair. He is almost almost seen wearing his signature cocky grin which sits just beneath his cold grey eyes.
Genji likes to keep his clothes loose fitting and able to move freely, prefering to wear his headband around his waist. He keeps his pants tucked into his long red boots.

PERSONALITY & MOTIVATIONS
Genji is an incredibly gift young shinobi, but because of this his ego has grown in massive proportions. Being the eldest son of the Sarutobi clan Genji believes himself to be the cream of the crop and the greatest genin to come out of the acadmey. This will generally lead him to be unessacarily cruel to his peerage and even to his younger brother.
Genji's only one desire is to reach the top and become Hokage like his ancestor before him and take the easy cushy job.

CLAN HISTORY
A rough or detailed recent history of your dynastic clan. For world-building.
PERSONAL HISTORY
Genji's life has been a rather boring and uneventful one. Being the eldest son of the of the current head of the Sarutobi clan Genji's life was one of privilage and favor having everything handed to him and wanting for very little. At an early age Genji began to show great promise as a budding shinobi and so began to recieve special training to one day take on the life of the great members of clan. Genji loved every moment of training...in the begining.
As more and more of what it truly meant to be the leader of the clan or even the Hokage himself was told to him fear began to creep into Genji's heart and thus began the reign of what many consider to be the true nature of Genji. He began to look upon himself as a surperior student in the shinobi ways and began tormenting those who he believed weaker than himself. His brother was his first victim. Upon arraiving at the acadmey he soon set himself as a dominant figure and began to torment and them as well.
Even after his graduation many of his peerage still look at Genji as a bully and lazy thug when in reality they couldn't be further from right. Genji's pride keeps him from attempting to reconcile with his peers.

CHAKRA NATURE

SPECIAL TRAITS
Above Average Chakra Pool: Genji has an larger pool of chakra to draw from than most genin his age which gives way to his natural talent with ninjutsu. While he does have a larger chakra pool Genji has less control over his chakra than other genin. This is something that he tends to keep a secret so that he can continue to assert his "dominance" over other genin.
Accuracy: Due to his affinity for shurikenjutsu Genji has become quite accurate with all manner of ninja tools, and while he is far from a perfect shot he certinally shows greater promise. He continues to improve on a daily basis and as of now can hit his targets 8/10 times. Many times Genji is seen with at least one kunai in hand at all times ready to show of his skills.
FOCUS & SKILLS
Shurikenjutsu: While every budding ninja is taught some sort of shurikenjutsu Genji has taken a liking to it as a combative art. Genji is almost always seen praticing his accuracy and prefers to strike from medium to close range. Many of the jutsus he knows somehow revolve around this particular skillset o his and he is ready put his skills to the real test.
Fūinjutsu: Oddly enough for Genji has self-taught himself the fūinjutsu that he knows and for having little to no prior training in the art has become quite proficent even using sealing scrolls in his shurikenjutsu. While he still only has enough skill for two scrolls currently Genji has the potential to become a master in the art of Fūinjutsu...if he ever trains on it.
EQUIPMENT & INVENTORY
Genji keeps the standard shinobi tools on hand along with several feet of wire and two scrolls.

Sarutobi Kenjiro
“I'll show you what I can do.”
NAME
Sarutobi Kenjiro
ALIAS
N/A
GENDER
Male
AGE
10
ORIGIN
Konohagakure
RANK
Genin
APPEARANCE
A rather plain looking individual, save for his choice of clothing, Kenjiro is a rather plain looking individual. He stands at a measly 4'8" tall with rather unkempt black hair he isn't really one to stand out in a crowd. In addition to his usual, somewhat odd for a ninja, choice of clothing (which may or may not be the result of a subconscious need for attention he doesn't always get at home) one is likely to see a ninja tool pouch at his waist on his right side, one just above his knee on his left leg, and a black back pack which he uses to carry his larger tools (or simply those that wouldn't fit in his two pouches), as well as other various (not always necessary) things.
PERSONALITY & MOTIVATIONS
There are a great many words that could be used to describe Kenjiro. He is intelligent, hardworking, strong willed, courageous, envious and occasionally reckless. He has always been envious, if not resentful, of his older brother Genji, which was only strengthened when his brother shifted to his more thug like demeanor. Still, with Genji's clear talent and skill, Kenjiro can't help but get annoyed that he is given just about everything he could possibly desire. He doesn't allow these feeling to weigh him down though. Rather, he uses them as fuel pushing himself as hard as possible. He isn't one to back down from a challenge, even if it isn't always necessarily one he can easily overcome. Some may see this as an example of courage and some, like those of his clan, parents included, may see it as recklessness.
Additionally, with so much talk about his brother becoming the next clan head he couldn't help but make it his goal to surpass the, apparent, slacker. Why should he get something just because he was talented by nature or born first? Kenjiro believes that he has worked harder and would make a much better successor than Genji. Regardless, however, of these thoughts those around him aren't likely to see these emotions on the surface. At his core, he loves his clan and village and always put them first. So it's only natural that he keep a slightly more normal attitude. He doesn't act hyperactive or happy-go-lucky, but he isn't the brooding, sullen type either. He's a pretty average guy all around and he uses that to his advantage since most don't expect much from him, enemies and allies alike.

CLAN HISTORY
A rough or detailed recent history of your dynastic clan. For world-building.
PERSONAL HISTORY
From the very beginning Kenjiro was compared to his older brother. The clan had no relative idea as to how the two would grow up, but as his brother was born healthy and strong it was expected of him as well. Still, as the two grew older the differences between them became increasingly apparent. From their appearances to the level of talent, the two were worlds apart. Kenjiro had an overall plain look and seemed to have very little affinity for the life of a shinobi, while Genji seemed to excel in every field possible. It hurt that his parents treated him as less important than his older brother, but no matter what, he couldn't help but admire the older sibling for the work he did.
This would all change, however, for reasons that Kenjiro would never find out (and likely not understand when he did). Genji began to slack in his training, thinking himself to be far superior than those around him, including his little brother. Still, he showed results; far more than Kenjiro. Genji was allowed to do just about anything he wanted. He tormented his younger brother. Furthermore, Kenjiro was never strong enough to hold his own if he did manage to summon the courage to retaliate against his brother. Whether it was at home or in the academy with other students, he had the misfortune of dealing with his older brother.
If that wasn't enough, Kenjiro would also have to deal with aggression from other budding shinobi who would take out their frustrations on him because of Genji's bullying. It didn't matter that he was two years younger. To make matters worse for him, even when he did well, well enough to even manage to make it into the same graduating class as his brother, his joy was diminished, his work ridiculed (typically by Genji, if not by his parents would would still compare him with the older sibling). It was because of this turn of events that Kenjiro would solidify his resolution to surpass his brother.
Kenjiro put all his focus into training. He didn't make many friends in the academy. He never stuck around after classes, never really went out if he could avoid it as well. Rather, he worked with the clan ninja, and his trainers whenever possible, always taking notes and learning about many of the various factors of a fight. He knew he didn't have the raw power, or the chakra pool his brother had, so he put all his focus into three things; his weaponry, his ninjutsu and his chakra control. To many it seemed like he was merely chasing his brother's shadow. Even after graduating the academy there are those who believe this as well. Kenjiro wants so much more than that though. And he's willing to go to any lengths to prove it.

SPECIAL TRAITS
Chakra Control: Kenjiro practiced day and night, studying all he could about chakra and the various techniques that could be utilized in order to learn to properly control, manipulate, manage and make use of his chakra. While he does not have the wealth of chakra his brother has been blessed with, he is more than capable of making good use of the moderately sized pool he does have. Such levels of control can even be compared to that of the Hyuga, though not quite there.
Chakra Flow: With access to some of the best ninja trainers of the village, even before entering the Ninja Academy, Kenjiro questioned various sources for some of the better uses of his chakra. Utilizing this skill he increase the potency of a weapon, or even his own body, by flowing chakra through it. Although he has a ways to go before he could be considered a master of this technique, it is something he has been working on for a while, as sort of shock and awe technique, considering most genin wouldn't be capable of utilizing this skill.

Although he has a ways to go before he could be considered a master of this technique, it is something he has been working on for a while, as sort of shock and awe technique, considering most genin wouldn't be capable of utilizing this skill.
FOCUS & SKILLS
Kenjiro uses his superior chakra control and management to strengthen his weapons and also imbue them with his chakra nature. Additionally, as he is quite meticulous with the use of his weaponry and chakra while in battle he can also employ various ninjutsu in succession while in combat. However, though he has trained hard to get his chakra control to such a high and his focus on ninjutsu and chakra manipulation his taijutsu skills simply do not measure up. Furthermore, his genjutsu skills are practically nonexistent.
Given that information it is understandable that Kenjiro is prone to relying on weaponry and ninjutsu to lessen the gap between him and stronger opponents as he would be at a disadvantage if forced into CQC. He knows that in a contest of brawn he has less of a chance to win. Thus, while he most certainly is not a genius, he chooses to fight smarter. Because of this Kenjiro avoids close quarters combat, opting to use hit and run or diversionary tactics to slow and disorient opponents, whittling them down slowly.
Kenjiro tries to drag out a battle, while also combining the aforementioned skills with mid to long range ninjutsu and other attacks to take them down, attempting to keep himself as safe as possible (though this doesn't always workout).

Done and done. Once you have time to get around to a more in depth review lemme know if you wants me to change or remove anything. Other than that all that is left is the Clan History, which I'll be waiting on @Archangel89 to complete since I need his/her input aaaaaand I don't have much of an idea of what to actually do.
Oh and the relation/influence which I need to know a team so I can enter than and again, talking with Arch I need the names of parents or other family members and the like ^.^"

RANK
Genin
APPEARANCE
Nakazono is slightly above average height for his age. He is rather slender in build and could be described as effeminate even though he doesn't act like it. Nakazono doesn't look his age. He appears to be about twelve when in fact he is eleven. It doesn't help that because of his clan traditions most people mistake him for a girl either. At least when he's at school he's allowed to wear clothing that isn't specific to girls. Though his formal Fujioji outfit is. Therefore most of time he's seen in just a plain kimono.
Nakazono has pale skin and blue eyes. Like all young boys in his clan, Nakazono has never cut most black hair. The longest part is currently down to his butt and to quote him "an absolute pain". The bangs and shorter (about shoulder length hair around his face) is more tolerable and less at the same time because it never stays tied up like it's supposed to. He also has his ears pierced.

PERSONALITY & MOTIVATIONS
Nakazono is the youngest child of four. And he happens to be the least talented. Because of this he has mainly stopped trying his best. He's just kind of floating through school. He used to care, but no matter how hard he tried he could never keep up with his older siblings. Which lead to him deciding if he couldn't make his parents happy he'd stop trying. At least then they'd have something to complain about. With this attitude Nakazono sometimes ditches class to go do whatever stuck his fancy that day (usually reading).
Nakazono doesn't have any friends. This isn't to say that he doesn't want any. More or less he's afraid to get close enough to anyone. His reasoning is that if he doesn't get close they wont see what a disappointment he is. If he doesn't have any friends they can't leave him right? He goes out of his way to be "busy" after class is over so he doesn't fall into the trap of thinking that he can have friends who like him. He smiles, laughs and generally gets along with the other students, but he doesn't invest himself in the relationships. Because of this he knows lots of people but no one he would call friend and he's sure they all would agree.
Nakazono really doesn't want to be a ninja. He's thought about running off and hiding forever in a book store or library but he's never done it. It's mainly because he cannot bring himself to disappoint his parents (and Aunt Sanako) even more than he has despite all of his protestations that he doesn't care. Which is central to Nakazono's character. He likes to pretend that nothing matters to him when in truth everything seems to matter.

CLAN HISTORY
The Fujioji clan isn't a big clan. About seventy years ago three families settled in Konohagakure. Before that the Fujioji's were a wandering clan. In fact, the majority of the clan still are known to be wanderers and have not settled in any one village. Because of their nomadic lifestyle their traditions are the most important thing to them.
The main tradition passed down from parent to child is their fighting techniques. The Fujioji clan uses a bo staff to fight. They have no unique nin- or genjutsu's to the clan name. Only their skill with a staff. Some of the Fujioji clan members are so skilled in their unique fighting style their clan name has become synonymous with their bo staves. Fujioji Staves are made handmade by the clan. They do produce normal bo staves to sell to other clans (such as the Akimichi clan). No one who is not a Fujioji is allowed to use a Fujioji staff. If someone is known to be using one having procured it somehow a Fujioji will be honored bound to retrieve it. This is mostly because a Fujioji staff isn't a normal bo staff.
A Fujioji staff is similar to a bo staff in that it is about 1.8 meters in length and up to 15 meters in circumference. It is made from a supple white oak. It's tapered from the middle so that it's thinner at the ends. The Fujioji staff ends are octagon in shape. Inlet in the supple wood is iron. Usually in a complicated design in order to allow the wood to maintain it's flexibility and durability. The secrets of the Fujioji staves are found in these designs. Some are hidden compartments for various ninja tools such as poisons and knives.
Each Fujioji staff is specifically crafted for the user. Unproven clan members, such as Nakazono, have plain dyed bo staves. They are specifically for learning how to use the weapon and if lost it will not cast shame upon the owner. It isn't until the clan member reaches the age of fourteen that they are given their first true Fujioji staff. The design is tailored to the user and reflects their status in the clan and their personal history. It is a serious breach of honor to ruin or lose a staff.
Apart from their staves the Fujioji clan has a very rich tradition for raising their children. No child, male or female, can cut their hair apart from the prescribed haircut. Tradition holds that the first Fujioji, a woman, cut her hair like that and that's the way it has been ever since. Once a child reaches the age of majority they will cut off their long tail of hair to make everything even with their shoulders. All children are also dressed the same in traditional female clothing. Though in Konohagakure they are allowed to wear nondescript kimonos while not in the clan's buildings.
When a child reaches what they believe to be the age of majority they must prove themselves. In the clan it is called The Proving. It's a closely guarded test where the child must fight their parent. If they fail to prove they have sufficient skills, no matter their age, they are not considered adults. A waiting period of usually half a season is observed before a child may try again. If a child does not challenge their parents for a proving they are cast out of the clan and into the wild. They are given nothing but a plain bo staff and told to return in a month. If they never return the child is considered dead. The same holds if the child returns too soon. However if the child returns on time they are considered an adult and inducted back into the clan.
While the proving is still tradition it hasn't been observed to the letter in known history. Instead when a child fails, either to prove themselves or doesn't even challenge, they are just not taught the Fujioji techniques. Instead they are expected to do something else with their life. However there is always the rumor spread among the children that it's still possible that your family would disown you. Even if it has never happened in anyone's lifetimes.
The traditional uniform of the Fujioji clan is a sleeveless black kimono with a gold Uraeri. There is a dark blue blue obi. The sleeves are threaded with gold string to hold them on over the biceps and below the shoulder joint. All Fujioni clan members have pierced ears and with the traditional uniform they wear a tassel with a golden ball attached. The color of the tassels is up to the individual and their status in the clan. Young children are given a burgundy color. Those of age range from Blue to black depending on their skill with their staff.
One of things that make the Fujioji clan different from most others is their matriarchy. A set of three Elders lead the clan in important matters. They are the decendants of the three original women who decided to settle in Konohagakure. The heads of the clan are all female. They also expect their females to be just as good of fighters as the men. Therefore women are not given any quarter in training nor is it expected. Which has caused a few clashes with the Academy because the Fujioji clan doesn't view some of the curriculum (such as flower arrangement) as necessary.
The current heads of the clan are Nakazono's Grandmother Yaya, Fujioji Gen and Fujioji Kona.
The main tradition passed down from parent to child is their fighting techniques. The Fujioji clan uses a bo staff to fight. They have no unique nin- or genjutsu's to the clan name. Only their skill with a staff. Some of the Fujioji clan members are so skilled in their unique fighting style their clan name has become synonymous with their bo staves.

When a child reaches what they believe to be the age of majority they must prove themselves. In the clan it is called The Proving. It's a closely guarded test where the child must fight their parent. If they fail to prove they have sufficient skills, no matter their age, they are not considered adults. A waiting period of usually half a season is observed before a child may try again. If a child does not challenge their parents for a proving they are cast out of the clan and into the wild. They are given nothing but a plain bo staff and told to return in a month. If they never return the child is considered dead. The same holds if the child returns too soon. However if the child returns on time they are considered an adult and inducted back into the clan.
While the proving is still tradition it hasn't been observed to the letter in known history. Instead when a child fails, either to prove themselves or doesn't even challenge, they are just not taught the Fujioji techniques. Instead they are expected to do something else with their life. However there is always the rumor spread among the children that it's still possible that your family would disown you. Even if it has never happened in anyone's lifetimes.
The traditional uniform of the Fujioji clan is a sleeveless black kimono with a gold Uraeri. There is a dark blue blue obi. The sleeves are threaded with gold string to hold them on over the biceps and below the shoulder joint. All Fujioni clan members have pierced ears and with the traditional uniform they wear a tassel with a golden ball attached. The color of the tassels is up to the individual and their status in the clan. Young children are given a burgundy color. Those of age range from Blue to black depending on their skill with their staff.
One of things that make the Fujioji clan different from most others is their matriarchy. A set of three Elders lead the clan in important matters. They are the decendants of the three original women who decided to settle in Konohagakure. The heads of the clan are all female. They also expect their females to be just as good of fighters as the men. Therefore women are not given any quarter in training nor is it expected. Which has caused a few clashes with the Academy because the Fujioji clan doesn't view some of the curriculum (such as flower arrangement) as necessary.
The current heads of the clan are Nakazono's Grandmother Yaya, Fujioji Gen and Fujioji Kona.
PERSONAL HISTORY
Nakazono was a child conceived from emotion. After the terrible battle at Konohagakure and the loss of so many people, his mother sought what physical comfort she could. And the result was Nakazono. An unplanned but not unwelcome child. For his mother it was reason to remain at home for a long while. Even his father enjoyed having a baby around once more. His brother, Kageteru didn't much care for Nakazono having been the youngest and therefore the most spoiled child. Or had been. After his dethroning by Nakazono he has always held a sort of grudge. His two eldest siblings were wrapped up with their own training and had no time for a baby.
Nakazono's life was set for him from as far back as he could remember. He was given his first bo staff about the same time he started walking. By the time he was four, maybe five, he was expected to be able to use it. It was also about the same time that Nakazono realized he was not the most coordinated and therefore was not a very good fighter. Before this point Nakazono had happy memories of his parents. But this was a changing point in his life. Suddenly from this point nothing ever seemed good enough. It was always "Kageteru mastered that when he was your age" "Nagu never had a problem with that move" or "Even Moroari could fail to teach you how not to trip over nothing".
His only saving grace is his Aunt Sanako. When he stayed late in the practice grounds when he was younger, or tried to hide his bruises from the staff, she was always there. With a soft word or touch she had the power to keep him from drowning in the unreachable expectations of his family. She was the one who gave him hope that he wasn't completely useless. She was the one who smuggled his nonsense scrolls about completely fictional people and places. She was the one who helped him with his drills.
Aunt Sanako is the only reason Nakazono still remains at the Academy and is somehow going to be a Genin. Without her support (and lets face it, her disappointment in his lack of motivation in school) he never would have made it this far. He wants to do better by her, but he can't bring himself to do so. He fears deep down if he starts trying again and fails he wont be able to live with himself. Though they don't see each much anymore, she spends a lot of time with her grandchildren, he still relies upon her for emotional support.
Currently at the Academy Nakazono is near the bottom of the class. He's slower than most of the students, mainly because of his clumsiness. He hesitates over signs, his fingers forget their movements and he generally jumbles up the motions. Because of his general clumsiness quite a few of the other students tease him. No one's ever meet a clumsy ninja right? Deep down Nakazono knows what to do, it's just getting his body to do it is the problem.

“Live life like an explosion!”
NAME
Aburame Katsu
ALIAS
None yet!
GENDER
Male
AGE
11
ORIGIN
Konohagakure, asshole.
RANK
Genin
APPEARANCE
Katsu almost always has his bright red gas mask on, so his face is usually concealed completely. Baggy, hooded clothing usually conceals much of the rest of him as well. However, he's short for his age and pale where his skin is visible.
PERSONALITY & MOTIVATIONS
Compared to the reputation of most Aburame, Katsu is wild, carefree and hotblooded in daily life, responding to most situations with energetic cheer and enthusiasm despite his mask often muffling his exclamations. In fact, he tries to keep himself constantly in a state of irrepressible love for life as much as possible because it keeps his mind off of the fact that he's essentially a living bomb.
After coming to terms with the fact that he could perish in a fiery explosion if any of his insects became defective, he resolved to try and throw off despair and dread and wring as much joy and passion out of life as he could just-in-case. That said, he constantly lives with the possibility that he might violently explode and can't always cope with the weight of such an intense fate in spite of his sunny disposition. He's been told time and again that it's fairly rare for the bakuchu to accept a host as easily as they did and that it's his duty to use the power they'll give him to serve the village as a great ninja and as a result he's constantly torn between trying to live a full and enjoyable life and his duty to the village and his clan.
Katsu is actually extremely intelligent and has a highly analytical mind for his age. However, he often downplays his own cleverness and prefers to play the role of a good-natured, excitable fool.

CLAN HISTORY
A rough or detailed recent history of your dynastic clan. For world-building.
PERSONAL HISTORY
Katsu's life was only uneventful up until it was time for him to undergo his Clan's ritual of becoming a host for parasitic chakra insects. Katsu was embraced by the unusual bakuhachu, the explosive insects choosing him as a home. This had a wide-reaching impact on Katsu's life that's shaped him throughout. The reaction to having an explosive host among them has been different for each member of the Aburame Clan. Some treat him with nervousness or fear, knowing that if something went wrong, a bakuhachu host could literally explode.
Others treat him with pitying kindness, knowing better than he the mix of danger and burden that the insects give him. All of them take pains to impress a strong sense of duty to the village and the clan on him, insisting that his potential for destruction needs to be used with care and purpose.
Katsu himself used to be deathly afraid of his own body and sure of his own imminent self-destruction. He wore a white mask and shroud so he'd be ready if he died. But several years ago he was helped to the realization that he wasn't really living even though he was alive. He decided that if his life might be short and have an explosive end, he would live that life to the fullest. He changed his white gas mask to a cheery, bright and hot-blooded red one and dedicated himself to that ideal.
This puts him at odds with some of the other clan members who misguidedly think he's no longer taking his situation seriously enough.
In terms of his life at the Academy, he was generally easy to pull into shenanigans and eager to goof off and have fun, though his natural intellect meant that he always did well in terms of actual work and tests provided he remembered to apply himself.

CHAKRA NATURE
He's not sure and hasn't been tested, though Fire or Earth is expected.
SPECIAL TRAITS
Aburame Host: As children, Aburame are given to chakra insects (kikaichu) as hosts— the relationship is often seen as symbiotic, as the host gives a chakra-induced home to the insects in turn for their allegiance on the battlefield. As such this is the basis of the Aburame Clan’s techniques. Katsu has one of the more unusual variety known as bakuhachu. Bakuhachu are beetles that use a combination of chakra and naturally occurring chemical compounds inside their bodies to produce explosions as a means of self-destructive predator deterrence.
Essentially, control over the bakuhachu means he has access to a living arsenal of various remote explosives. He hasn't yet tapped this to anywhere near its' full potential outside of private family training.
Essentially, control over the bakuhachu means he has access to a living arsenal of various remote explosives. He hasn't yet tapped this to anywhere near its' full potential outside of private family training.
FOCUS & SKILLS
If fighting seriously, Katsu prefers strategy and out thinking opponents, fighting smarter not harder to ensure that victory is won before the first punch is thrown. Part of this is down to the training for his explosive Aburame ninjutsu beating the necessity for precision and timing into him. To cut down on using the bakuhachu he primarily relies on various ninja tools both explosive and non-explosive to fight. He also knows more Taijutsu than he usually lets on, but prefers to deflect and avoid close-in attacks.

So, how should I go about figuring out relationships and pre-existing interactions for my character? Since I'm arriving late.
@Dblade26 I know a few of us hashed out relationships on the Discord for characters who would be more than passing acquaintances, but Gowi also said just slapping down impressions of other characters (i.e. looks like a nice guy even if they're from a mean clan, is loud and annoying, etc) is also fine.

NAME
Iburi Kodo
GENDER
Male
AGE
13
ORIGIN
Konohagakure
RANK
Genin
APPEARANCE
Despite his newly-appointed status as a genin, Kodo still appears very much like a young monk would; He prefers flowy, grey clothing with muted accents, paired with plain white socks and traditional geta. He wears nothing unnecessary -- no accessories, jewelry, armor, or hats, with even his leaf village headband securely around his waist in a display of modesty. When it is especially cold or raining heavily, Kodo will wear Konohagakure's traditional white-and-red striped cloak, though that seems to be as decorated as he gets. Typical of his maternal lineage, he has hair so light it seems white with green eyes, while his nose and pointed features were supposedly inherited from his absentee father. In terms of his physique, Kodo is notably lean and taut, as a result of his vegetarian diet and strict exercise regimen.
PERSONALITY & MOTIVATIONS
Kodo is everything one would expect a boy raised in a temple to be like. He is quiet, meticulous, polite, and stoic to an almost aggravating extent, often failing to pick up on nuanced social cues. He is unfailingly kind, and though he maintains a quiet distance between himself and his comrades, he frequently shows a genuine interest in the happiness and well-being of those around him. Though he is very rarely seen smiling, it would be inaccurate to say he is at all solemn or grim; Kodo's emotionless attitude is one of forced restraint than gloom or nihilism. Though this attitude is derived from his discipline rather than his natural personality, it would be unfair to refer to Kodo's detached mannerisms as a "mask", or any similar descriptor, as stoicism instilled through discipline has simply become Kodo's personality. It might not have been Kodo when he was taken to the temple, though then again, very little about him is.
Despite his zen, carefree outlook, Kodo is not free from his own brand of inner demons. He harbors feelings of abandonment towards his parents for sending him to an isolated temple as an infant, and for disappearing as parental figures afterwards -- His father as a missing nin and his mother having fallen ill years ago. Kodo feels a similar resentment towards the temple for sending him out to become a ninja without letting him know the true reason why, and in many ways, resentment towards himself for not being able to fully detach from emotional bonds as a proper monk should. In order to distract himself from these difficulties, Kodo throws himself into his training, be it ninjutsu or monasticism.
Aside from his emotionless mannerisms, abandonment issues, and knack for productivity, the final major facet of Kodo's personality is his identification as a monk of Ninshu; He was instructed by the monks to become a jonin before attaining monkhood because of his strong attachment to his life at the temple as an acolyte, which the monks saw as an extension of Kodo's ego. Kodo genuinely enjoys the life of monasticism, and fully intends to return to it after completing his "test". Spending his childhood in a monastery has hardened Kodo, instilling intensely rigid habits in his daily life -- He is a vegetarian who begins his mornings with a half hour of prayer and half hour of exercise, who frequently tries to avoid simple comforts out of a sense of misguided duty. At the Fire Temple, monks eat mostly rice porridge and seaweed, for instance, which is now the only thing Kodo knows how to cook. The same monks almost exclusively communicate through Ninshu, and so Kodo is now a boy unfamiliar with noisy crowds or conversation.

CLAN HISTORY
The Iburi name is synonymous in Konoha for their riches and reclusive nature, and across the world for their fine incense. One of the first cultivators and sellers of incense, the Iburi mon is one of the few found in every nation, be it in the small, expensive tins of incense one would gift a daimyo to the crates of plain, slow-burning incense sold at temples. As such, the Iburi compound features two impressive sets of high stone walls, and though ninjutsu makes scaling these an easy feat, the Iburi walls are seen by many as being more of a statement than a protective measure -- The Iburi are behind their walls, the rest of the world is beyond them, and the two are not equal. The Iburi have surprisingly few connections or allies for all of their riches, which is owed to their proud clannishness. Additionally, the unpopular view of the Iburi is also affected by their statistically high number of missing nin. Their Kekkai Genkai, the Smoke Release, allows a member of the clan to turn themselves into smoke, which can torture, possess, or outright suffocate opponents. As a result, members of this affluent clan are equipped with a tool for assassination and sense of superiority at the moment of their birth, two features that are seen as cause for their high rate of disappearance and desertion.
PERSONAL HISTORY
Kodo was born to Iburi Satoshi and Yamanaka Aina thirteen years ago, in the spring shortly after the war's end. His parents, who had both lost countless friends in the recent war had become disillusioned with their village ways and instead of sending their son to the academy, the couple opted to send their son to the Fire Temple. He would not learn military techniques during his childhood at the academy, but become a man of peace and discipline. Shortly after Kodo was sent away, his father Satoshi went missing, and has remained under Konoha's missing nin registry to this day.
At the temple, Kodo had surprising success with the harsh rules instilled by the monks, and thoroughly devoted his life to the spiritual branch of Ninshu. During this time he learned to communicate through the use of chakra, one of the main tenets of the high monks who taught him, who otherwise maintained vows of silence. Learning this ability early in life has made Kodo something of an empath, which he uses when "reading" people. Kodo stayed at the temple for ten years, until a fateful winter morning when pulled aside by the monks at the age of eleven -- Kodo was instructed that his fondness for the ways of the temple were appreciated, but an extension of pride and ego as great as any other. Additionally, the monks mentioned, they had received word that Kodo's mother had fallen ill, and with his father's absence and her shunned status from both the Yamanaka and Iburi clan, Kodo would have to care for her. After asking about the duration of his stay, Kodo was told that by the time he attains the rank of Jonin, he may return to the temple.
Since then, Kodo has had a fairly quiet life, which seems to be the closest thing he can get to still being a monk. Aside from his time spent catching up to the academy standards -- a feat that would take him two years, making him one of the older genins -- Kodo does very little but care for his mother Aina, train, and meditate. There is a white hare that frequents his garden named Yuki he sometimes feeds, though Kodo has no other pets or remarkable hobbies.

INFLUENCE & RELATIONS
Kodo and his mother Aina are pariahs of a sort within the Iburi compound; Aina, not a true Iburi but a Yamanaka by birth, is seen as a sponge of the Iburi fortune with her steadily declining health. Because the Yamanaka clan disavowed themselves of her following Satoshi's disappearance, the Iburis have allowed Aina to stay in their compound for the remainder of her life on the condition that she wait for the husband she is still married to. Her son Kodo is viewed with a similar pity -- An impure half-Iburi who has inherited none of his father's features, sent by his half-mad feverish mother and traitor father to some grey faraway temple too early to know anything of his clan's ways or history. Aside from his mother, his closest relative is his father's cousin Kahori, who periodically drops off groceries and medicine at their doorstep.

SPECIAL TRAITS
Smoke Release: The Iburi clan carry a genetic ability -- specifically in their bloodstream -- that allow them to transform partially or fully into smoke. Most frequently, this involves slipping through bars and restraints, levitating, avoiding attacks, or moving quickly in three dimensions, though it has been developed into more advanced techniques such as using one's smoke form to enter opponents through the nose or mouth, torturing or outright suffocating them to death. Because the Iburi does not have to completely transform into smoke, this generally leaves their taijutsu practitioners with a style relying on avoiding their opponent's attacks while countering with a flurry of blows from all directions. The main weakness of this kekkai genkai is its susceptibility to wind; While in their smoke form, an Iburi can be torn apart by strong enough winds, such as those found in storms, mountains, or from Wind-based jutsu.
Ninshu Radar: Kodo's focused, lifelong study of Ninshu has allowed him to wordlessly communicate with other Ninshu users, as well as sense the emotions of others -- including those he does not see. In mission scenarios, this makes him akin to a chakra sensor, as he preemptively senses emotions such as fear, excitement, anger, anticipation, or any other emotion felt by those hiding from him. That being said, this can be negated by a lack of any emotion, such as those who are unconscious, meditating, or through more advanced means -- such as certain genjutsu or trained techniques.

FOCUS & SKILLS
Kodo, for lack of a better phrase, should really not be a ninja. He cannot bring himself to use a bladed weapon, a moral taught to him even by the warrior monks at the temple who would not arm themselves, and thereby does not make use of kunai, senbon, or shuriken. Also learned at the temple is the belief that trickery is immoral, which is the cause for Kodo's refusal to learn any genjutsu beyond the body substitution technique. Most of all, Kodo will simply not kill an enemy, no matter the cost -- it is no greater a choice than his refusal to eat meat, but it is his choice nonetheless. These philosophical barriers have proved troublesome for Kodo's ninja training, though he has attained the rank of genin all the same by compensating with strength in other fields.
Kodo has strength and stamina outweighing most of his peer group, as a result of his near-ascetic diet, exercise regime, and slight outbalance of age. Additionally, Kodo has learned to rely on his versatile kekkai genkai, which he can use in a multitude of ways -- Though some would call it over-reliance, Kodo's Smoke Release allows him to dodge attacks, move around the battlefield at an unnatural speed, hide himself and allies, and make use of a versatile, tentacle-like smoke whip. Though Kodo refuses to properly arm himself or use deadly force, his powerful kekkai genkai allows him to retain an advantage in many combative scenarios.

EQUIPMENT & INVENTORY
Kodo wears metal armguards like those used by ANBU to deflect projectiles or bladed weapons, though otherwise the only supplies he takes on missions are smoke bombs, a favored tool of his clan. He currently has three types; Red smoke, which is meant to burn the eyes and lungs and cause enemies to flee, yellow smoke, which is a compound made mostly of sleeping gas and sedative, and blue smoke, which Kodo uses to control and make physical with the Stone Smoke technique or use for cover.

A variant of the Iburi clan's Smoke Release, the Fragrant Incense Technique requires a user to take a large breathe, imbuing the air with chakra as they do so, and exhaling a cloud of thick pink smoke. Those who breathe in this smoke suffer mild auditory and visual hallucinations, weakened sensory systems, and fatigue. However, because the smoke is equal to the air the user can inhale,
it must be performed in close quarters.

As far as I saw your sheet was not finished? I assumed you were still working on your draft (as depicted above).
