Just so all of you wickedly awesome people are aware the second post with Thacel is still underway. Capy hit exams and I hit discord so progress was slowed for a time but I'm hoping I can be more responsible now that they have more free time.
To save you guys some trouble I will unfortunately be withdrawing as much as it displease me. I haven't been giving this RP the attention it deserves and I'm so very sorry.

Given that he is the great-grandson of an Amekage one would be inclined to believe that he receives special treatment within the village. In truth he is treated no differently than any other young shinobi. Amegakure has almost always been at war, whether defending itself while two or more of the Great Five were fighting outside their doors or a brutal civil war was occurring. Respect and privilege aren’t handed out, not even to those descended from a Kage, they have to be earned through death and blood.

| Personal biography: |
Youth: Motoki is a rare exception, especially in Amegakure, in the fact that he does not come from a broken home. Both of his parents have survived every war they have participated in and they loved their child dearly when he was born. His mother retired from active duty after his birth while his father remained in the Ame Black Ops. Once his son was old enough to walk he took a leave of absence to begin instructing his son, just like he had been by his mother. Motoki was taught to move through the world without a sound, learning to live in the shadows. It was during this time that he also learned about his family's affinity for bloodlust, and more importantly how to compartmentalize it to prevent it from bleeding over into day to day interactions. To aid him in this Motoki learned how to blend in with others, in essence how to charm and beguile.
School Years: Once he entered the academy the training at home lessened to allow him to focus on the skills he would need in order to advance to Genin and officially become an Ame Shinobi. He was a model student, listening closely during lectures, practicing the techniques they were shown, and interacting with his fellow classmates when able. Overall he was slightly above average, though his skill in the area of stealth and with the Henge in particular were noted.
Post Academy: After becoming a Genin his father resumed training him at full force and he started by teaching him the Hiding with Camouflage Jutsu. Whenever Motoki was not training with his team or on a mission he was training at home continuing to advance the skills needed for blending in, both within the shadows and within crowds. Along with being taught the Camouflage jutsu his father also gave him a wakizashi and taught him how to use it for their style of fighting.
| Family biography: |
The Susube clan has been part of Amegakure since shortly after the formation of the village. Their numbers have always been small, only a couple of families make up the clan, but every direct member of it has been a member of the Burakkuopusu. While they were known for their skills in stealth and deception the small size of the clan limited their exposure. It wasn’t until Susube Mao earned her place as Amekage that their name was really brought into the light.
The name Susube was not the only thing that became known at this time however, their bloodlust was finally seen by the village at large. There had been countless coups since the founding of the village, but the one lead by Mao was one of the most intricate and bloody. The group she lead moved through the shadows, tearing through any that stood between her and the current kage. The bloodshed did not end with him, given the position Mao had held in the Burakkuopusu prior to becoming Kage she was well equipped to snuff out any coups against her before they had a chance to mature. (This will be updated as per the request of Odin)
Since her death the Susube clan has largely reverted back to how they were prior to her reign, serving the village faithfully as members of the Burakkuopusu. The only significant difference is that they are treated a bit more cautiously by their fellow Ame Shinobi, now that their clan’s bloodlust has become known some are put off by how normal they are in their day to day lives.

Known for leading one of the most intricate coups in Amegakure history, which is how she became Kage.
| Dreams and fears: |
Detail the characters' dreams and his fears. These are a good place to add additional depth to your character. Despite his friendly and outgoing personality Motoki’s only true dream is darker than most would anticipate, though given his family it becomes more expected. He hopes to one day join the Burakkuopusu as an assassination expert. His ambition does not end there however, no he wants to surpass his great-grandmother in the art of silent death. Advancing the legacy she left her family and help ensure that their name retains its place in history is his goal.
As one would expect he harbours the natural fear that he will fall short of his dream, though this pales in comparison to his greatest cause of distress. Above all else he fears the possibility that he could lead to the fall of Amegakure in one form or another. This would not only mar his great-grandmother's name but it would guarantee his family name would be marred with disgust and scorn.

| Fighting style: |
Motoki is a close range stealth specialist. All of his jutsu are designed to let him slip away from active combat and launch surprise attacks, or to begin an engagement from a position of stealth aiming to end or disable his opponents before they realize what has struck them. With his flexibility and speed he is capable of holding his own in close quarters combat, whittling away at his opponent with his wakizashi while evading their strikes, but he avoids doing so unless absolutely necessary.
Due to the bloodlust inherited through the Susube family, and part in due to his youth, Motoki’s kill method is bloodier and slower than most. When he knows that an opponent needs to be taken out quickly he can contain it but if that is not the case he takes his time. He targets their hands/wrists first to make it more difficult for them to fight back before moving on to slash at their achilles tendons to prevent them from escaping. From there he whittles away at them slice by slice until they succumb to blood loss.
His mid and long range combat skills are limited to using throwing weapons such as kunai and shuriken. He is fairly accurate with them but he prefers ensuring the kill by getting up close and personal using stealth and distraction tactics.

Yes still here and alive. Have been making the most of my time with my family last few days. I start working again tonight, which means I will have the time to reply. As always I apologize for my lapse of appearance.
I have been summoned. I will keep an eye on this but cannot guarantee I'll be able to participate. I am in quite a few at the moment so I will have to ensure I am not biting off more than I can chew.
