Level headed and all around mellow, Genryuusai is noted to be a rather calm person. In day to day situations, he likes to keep a peaceful state of mind, something that is absent in his missions and duties as a shinobi. Though, in the past, there was a point in his childhood where his then bad attitude and overly serious disposition plagued his behavior. Gen considers this a troublesome part of his childhood, and still not too sure as to why he acted like that. But this all changed after a serious "talking to" by his father one night, which also saved him from his mother's wrath, more specifically, her belt. Gen is usually seen with a relaxed expression on his face and is not easily angered by anyone save for a few key individuals in his life. As a result, he is very well liked individual.
Genryuusai does not consider himself skilled in the "art of small talk". Earlier in his years, sometimes people who would think of him to have the tendency to be a loner at times. He doesn't care to make conservation on trivial things as it bores him and is wholly awkward to him. Yet, when the conservation is of a higher level such as politics, ethics, etc, he chimes in very quickly and becomes a dynamic person to talk with. He is in no way shy and, in fact, has exceptionally public speaking skills; neither is he not friendly. Though there are some people that are an exception to this rule, that even when there isn't much to talk about, he loves chatting with them anyway.
One of Gen's major hobbies is reading. From fantasy to historical texts, he has always enjoyed reading. Due to this, his hunger to learn about all types of ninjutsu was born after becoming a genin. As he was aware that shinobi, save for those with special bloodlines, were limited in the variety of elemental jutsu they could learn, he studied up on all of them for the sake of knowledge. To him, becoming knowledgeable of jutsu he could not perform seemed like an asset and more importantly an enlightening experience. In his early teens, Gen could be found in the library at times reading throw scrolls on different types of techniques. His elder sister, Ai, would tease him for this at times for her own personal amusement.
Even in his younger years, Gen has always had difficulty showing mercy to his enemies, and in his childhood, people who simply did him wrong. As a child, whenever another child would ridicule a friend of his or on the rare occasion mess with Gen himself, he would beat that child to a pulp each and every time due to his sense of loyalty and love for his friends and his hate for people that dare to think less of him. This uncharacteristically wild and unrestrained part of him worried his parents in his early years. Whenever things got personal, he had issues being calm. Today, he still struggles being merciful to enemies regardless of how much of a threat they pose. For him, it is better to kill anyone who raises a kunai against him then let them live. He believes the risk being taken in showing mercy is very much lacking in efficiency. Even though his former sensei has confronted him on this issue on more then one occasion, he still somewhat struggles with this problem. As Gen once put it, everyone has their own demons to face.
History: (Hider preferred; character history up to the present point in their life)
Name of Technique: Lightning Orb Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu Rank: E Range: Short-Range Nature Type: Lightning Handseals: N/A
Description: The first technique that Genryuusai learnt underneath Izaya's wing. Gen initiates the technique through a simple Ram hand seal, at which he keeps his palm afloat. Channeling chakra through his tenketsu to his wrist, he subsequently "activates" it, therefore causing a spark of lightning to appear, he subsequently controls it to become a circular shape, and then it begins to stabilize into nothing more than a harmful emitter of paralytic electricity. However, Genryuusai has turned this harmless technique into a rather innate portion of his combat style. His ability to utilize paralytic electricity to his advantage provides him with the capability to inflict temporary paralysis against his opponents, which allows for either his teammates or himself to inflict debilitating blows on his enemies while they have an exposed opening. Furthermore, considering that the technique is so simple to execute, he can create at the maximum, five orbs at any given time, providing him with numerous opportunities to harm his enemies.
Name of Technique: Lightning Whiplash Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu Rank: B Range: Short - Mid Nature Type: Lightning, Handseals: N/A
Description: An advanced derived technique of the Lightning Orb. Gen starts off with forming the Lightning Orb, who, will lose the oval shape, changing the shape with chakra manipulation, to become a long and thin lightning rope. This extendable rope, whiplash, is charged with a torturous amount of volt to violate his foes physically. Depending on the charge the whiplash is capable of numbing the senses and eventually lead to incapacitate the victim.
Name of Technique: Lightning Orb: Strike Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu Rank: B Range: Short-Range Nature Type: Lightning Handseals: N/A
Description: A rather odd application of the Lightning Orb, at least for Genryuusai's overall fighting style. By utilizing the process of the lightning orb, but within the palm of Gen's hand where it is completely concentrated towards his palm. Appearing akin to the Chakra Scalpel, the technique provides enormous blunt force and cutting power for Gen's fist, allowing him to enact powerful taijutsu assaults with ease. However, a much more preferred application of this technique is for Gen to transfer this chakra into an opponent through a palm strike, using the kinetic energy as a medium for the transfer, therefore causing a temporary paralysis to occur in the opponent, at which he can utilize another technique to defeat his enemy.
Name of Technique: Lightning Pulse Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu, Supplementary Rank: C Range: Short-Range Nature Type: Lightning Handseals: N/A
Description: Another, rather simple, technique of the Lightning Release is the ability to utilize the chakra nature in pulses. This is achieved through flowing the chakra to the medium that brings about the pulse, storing it in the tenketsu prior to releasing it upon contact with another individual. When releasing, the pulse is able to conjure numerous effects dependent on the desire that Gen has with the technique. He appears to commonly use it with his legs in order to create a powerful reinforcement to his kicks, or he'll use it in conjunction with his general chakra flow in order to cause difficulty for his opponents to avoid another assault, by enhancing the paralytic capabilities of the projectiles.
Name of Technique: Lightning Needle Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu Rank: C Range: Short - Mid Nature Type: Lightning Handseals: N/A
Description: The user converts chakra into lightning, before emitting it from their palms as a spray of sharp lightning needles that pierce and electrify everything they touch. The user can vary the number of needles from two or three to a dozen. In addition, they can vary the angle at which the needles are spread.
Name of Technique: Static Augmentation Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu, Supplementary Rank: B Range: Short-Range Nature Type: Lightning Handseals: N/A
Description: Static Augmentation is a personal supplementary jutsu that bolsters the users physical abilities through the use of a sustained electric charge using lightning-release that stimulates the muscles in order to make them stronger via contraction. Those who use this as a method of training have naturally higher levels of strength when compared to other non-users.
Those who utilize this jutsu benefit from muscle contractions that are up to 30 times more powerful than normal voluntary contractions, leading to enhanced muscle strength and improved muscle recovery compared to normal muscle contractions. Masters can even increase the rate of contraction, either increasing or lowering it to a total of 20 or 40 times.
The technique's usage results in enhanced physical performance in fields such as Taijutsu, Kenjutsu and speed-related techniques because of the naturally stronger muscle strength of the individual, whose muscles are used predominately in the utilization of the above skills. Though for the effects to be truly noteworthy then one needs to exist within state, trading the Chakra required to sustain the electrical current so they continue to benefit as they grow and mature, as well as train.
Trivia (Optional; misc. information that doesn't belong in any of the category above; if not used, remove this entire part from your CS)
@floodtalon We've reviewed the CS and determined that there's an issue with your character's kekkei genkai ability to cause frostbite and/or freeze an enemy with every hit. There's no apparent drawback to this at all; it seems like a passive ability that he can always use. It needs to be balanced in some way to make it a viable ability to have. Furthermore, you haven't PM'ed me the details of the Ice Release: Abomination of the Infinite Tundra like it mentions you would in the CS.

Do you know how when you touch Dry Ice it's so cold it freezes your skin and really hurts? Maybe Chen's taijutsu style could revolve around that sort of effect instead. Like the Hyuuga Gentle Fist but freezing the skin instead of sealing off Chakra. Also, I just PMed you.

There's still no drawback to it. With the Gentle Fist, the user injects chakra into each strike to attack the enemy's chakra points. At the very least, Chen should be required to maintain the effect with chakra which will mean he'll only be able to use it for a limited time. I think that would be a fair drawback.

That sounds like a plan. My thought process was he was using Ice Natured Chakra in each hit, but I am pretty cool with that too.
I'm pretty interested in this, wondering if I can still enter? I might have to think about it as I have quite a busy life at the moment what with college starting soon and the various other things I do, so I just want to know if there's even room for me at all.

There's always room but, considering your situation and depending on how long it takes for you to make a CS, you might enter when the IC has already started. If you're fine with that then know that there'll be room to join.
Name: Masuda Aburame (増田油女) Aliases: The Poison Bug Age: 25 Sex: Male Date of Birth: October 5th Blood Type: AB+ Ninja Registration #: 032546 Join Rank: Jōnin Current Rank: Jōnin
Masuda, like many of his clan, appear to be cold, but in truth he is calm and warm person. He can always be seen smiling and teasing his teammates. His talkative is seen as odd by most, considering the clan he comes from, and many are taken aback after hearing him speak. Masuda is a very big optimist. He tries to find the light in every situation and can rarely be seen upset. He does have his mood swings, mostly with those who cross him. Masuda can hold a grudge like no other and getting even is one of his most important values to him.
Masuda was born into the Aburame clan on October 5th. As the custom goes in his clan, he was offered at birth to several special breed of insects to act as a nest. Besides the Kikaichū that most of his clan used he also had another layer of much smaller bugs know as the Rinkaichū. They were rare even among his clan and he was given some special treatment because of it.
When he entered into the academy he had surprisingly been very likable by many of the others. His bright and cheerful nature scared most at first but soon they all became accustomed to him. He had many friends and was a very average student. His most prominent quality was his optimism despite the brutal circumstances. He made many different friends and tired to be the best he could.
When he graduated from the academy, he was told about the Rinkaichū residing inside of him. At first he was upset for being shielded by this but soon he embraced his situation and learned to live with it. His father helped him learn to control the more independent bugs and soon he had mastered them like no other. He was a prodigy in one aspect, the study of bugs. Throughout the time he was with his squad he trained not only with the Kikaichū, but with his Rinkaichū too. Learning about the poison that the bugs produced and how he could apply it to his different techniques. He created strides in research about the bug and almost was able to create a cure for the poison.
It took him and his squad one try to pass the exams and soon after he worked hard in his research and missions. He earned his name the poison bug due to his usage of Rinkaichū in combat and their deadly effects. His stealth tactics and espionage knowledge, are what earned him a spot in the ANBU. Another thing was the creation of the cure for the poison that the Rinkaichū. He is the only know person to have the cure.
Combat Information Nature Type: Earth Kekkei Genkai: N/A
Masuda is a strong bug fighter. He prefers to fight at long rage and set up traps for his enemy to get caught in. He fights like most other stationary fighter, long distance and capturing the opponent dead or alive. The amount of bugs he has is vast, so much that he needs a gourd to carry some on his back. Most of the time you will see this is his main source for the Kikaichū. Masuda utilizes his stealth and spy tactics to avoid direct confrontation. Most of his traps use poison harvested from the Rinkaichū. When he does have to fight hand-to-hand he uses the Rinkaichū, he is not the best fighter, but he will hold his own, usually not having to fight long due to the side effects of his opponents touching the Rinkaichū while they are active.
Rinkaichū Dart: He coats Kunai with Rinkaichū and is able to throw it to infect his opponents from a distance. The Kunai turns purple and only last for a few minutes.
Rinkaichū Web:The wire string that he has can be coated with Rinkaichū and given the purple hue. These strings are then set up to act as a 'web' and meant to catch any 'prey' that come in to it.
It appears I've overestimated how much free time I would have going in to this semester. I'll try to stay up to date on this as it moves forward. I promise I'll be here in spirit.
