Personnel Files
Accessible by personnel with a C3 security clearance or upwards.❖ Aliases-- Swordless one, Dragon child, O'lat (plague)
❖ Affiliation--Hamajo Confederation
❖ Birthplace--Kumo-province, Kumogakure
❖ Sexuality--Heterosexual, his current girlfriend is unhappy with his choices to align with Hamajo Confederation Appearance Descriptions
As compiled on basis of the 11th corps intelligence gathering, including pictures❖ Appearance-- Seventeen years have come and gone. Genetics, time, and training has honed him into a handsome looking male. Even among the farmlands of Kumo-province he’s being hailed and admired for his stature and build. In comparison to others of his kind, Maema dons his clothing in hopes of being prepared for combat at any time. He’s accustomed to wearing tshirts of varying colors underneath different types of outerwear (usually some form of gakuren). Darker hued trousers fall over his legs, while a deep blue sash ties around his waist. Unnaturally black haidate pieces--lined with gold--protects his thighs. Off-duty he’s more or less the same. He doesn’t feel the need to be fashionable so he can come off as rugged and simple. Either way he’s always wearing the same ankle-high, heavy-duty sandals. A optimal mixture between combat boots and ninjawear. A cherished item flows under both his sash and haidate, a mantle of sorts colored crimson with gold fringes lining its edges.
While others were plowing in the fields of their farms Maema was being tortured by his father’s training methods. His face is in conflict with the roughcast of his body. Where lean, hard muscle are pressed tight between necessary fat and skin on his body; his face is kinda of long and elegant. The only fierce part to his face is the sharpness of his golden eyes, hidden behind his dull expression.
Aforementioned his body is near-perfection. It's been honed for mobility and strength, to soak up and adapt to predictable disturbances on the battlefield. His sleek body looks unimpressive in clothing, however, beneath said clothes the muscles behind the skin are visible. Four highly developed abs fall into a flat stomach as if the rest were abandoned. The lower half of his legs are thin in appearance, making the top half seem bulky in comparison. All in all, Maema could be seen as the typical ninja but atypical man.
❖ Build--Maema is made up of lean muscle, his physique shows this rather well. His mass is dominant in his torso and arms, giving them a solid, cut look. When compared to his arms, though covered with cloths and the sorts, his legs can seem kinda meek. He has a feral form to his gait, some call it wolven. Others call it innate confidence.
Psych. reports
Medical secrecy applies.❖ Fearless ❖ Impulsive ❖ Apathetic ❖ Hopeful ❖
❖ Personality--Maema was taught at an early age that being a genius meant nothing in the face of three entities. Those three things were experience, numbers, and the unknown. He learned the value of being fearless days after finding his mother’s head on the porch. To step to the challenge without second-guessing yourself or those around you inspired a kind of fear and admiration. That lesson didn’t take long to become concrete. The next one did. It was a lesson of analytical schooling, one that guided him well in deciding if he should approach a situation with reckless abandon or patience. He can go either way when lives aren’t on the line. When they are a preternatural impulsiveness springs to life.
Maema wants to be a saviour; he’s seen the ruthless of the Hamajo Confederation, and has vowed to never just sit by again. This, unfortunately isn’t coupled with some disregard for his own life. Not in the slightest. He has taught himself to be apathetic to others, to toss aside a hopeless situation. That’s not something he’s proud of but his father was always a very grave man.
Outside of the norm, outside of bloodshed and war; one might catch him smiling. Maybe even laughing but it's rare. His life has been undoubtedly hard. Growing up in Kumo-province taught a valuable lesson: not everyone is looked after by the Confederation. Because of this Maema could be consider a cynical youth. He looks at every situation with caution and finds most people, specifically those full of cheer, extremely annoying. Despite being indifferent to most people, Maema has a hard time seeing others suffer. His father calls it “White Knight Syndrome” and says it has no place in the world of ninjas. Maema calls it saving himself.
He sees it that way sometimes.
When he was child he didn’t get along with others. In fact he hated them for rejecting him when he actually tried to be friends with them. Maema learns his social lessons quickly. He engraves them harshly into himself and makes sure not to make the same mistakes as before. If nothing else can be said about him, it's that he can hold horrifically long grudges.
❖ History--Birthright
The story goes that a wandering samurai found his true love in the middle of blood and tears. Supposedly he was renowned throughout the countries as the “The Pristine Dragon” a warrior whose blade struck true more times than not. A sellsword whose assistance and friends gave victory to those who hired him. His name was Yasu Nisshoku and he fell in love with a traveling philanthropist. She was not perfect but she inspired him to do things for the greater good. When Haruhi retired to Kumogakure, Yasu was behind her, hoping to settle down and build a family.
Years afterwards they gave birth to a boy. They named him Maema in concert with the loose-theme of their own names. They took on Yasu’s family name: Nisshoku and almost instantly he was given the moniker “Dragon child” by Yasu friends and “Goddess’ son” by Haruhi’s friends and family.
The boy’s youth was interrupted by the Hamajo Confederate taking over Kumogakure. The province changed for the worst afterwards. It became flooded with poverty and eventually, through some unknown process became a farming province. It was an ugly adjustment but Yasu and Haruhi did so without open complaints. For a time.
Decision
While Maema was working the fields, training, and attending school; his mother was busy stirring up trouble. She didn’t agree with the Hamajo Confederation. She fought against it with political movements; playing on the different causes to start a small alliance behind her humanitarian rallying points. Yasu watched this behind the scenes, warning her to be careful. She thought she had been. She was secretive about her growing rebellion but that would prove useless against the Confederation’s resources. The last Maema would see of his mother was her body’s gruesome decapitation, her head tilted on their home’s porch.
It was covered-up to be some Hamajo radical but Yasu had his own suspicions. He tempered his rage into productive action. When his comrades came back with information that suggested a Hamajo higher-up had quelled the Kumo-province uprising, it was then that Yasu thought to act. That was quickly snuffed out once he learned the merciless truth. That numerous, inconspicuous deaths that occurred only months after Haruhi’s own. It worsened when he lost all contact with a number of his friends.
Afterwards Yasu was struck with depression.
He redouble Maema’s training. From physical conditioning to an understanding of topography. There was a range of other studies that he was required to soak up but none of them were quite as effective as sparring and mental games. Years traversed faster than he thought and before long, Maema was a Chunin in the Hamajo Confederation.
❖ Familial ties--Maema’s relationship with his father is strained. He greatly admires the man his father use to be. The fun-loving, dramatic man that was a reluctant-hero. Nowadays the two of them greet each other in alien apathetic forms. As if too much emotion could cause a catastrophe. Sometimes he resents his father for giving in to the pain.
Yasu Nisshoku | Father | 34, Kumo-province, Yasu is a farmer who passes the time by wallowing in his own misery. Occasionally you can catch him practicing his unique, saw-sword swordsmanship outside of his home.
❖ Dreams, short term goals, and fears.--His childhood ended the day he stumbled upon his mother’s decapitated head. Since then he’s had no dreams, only goals. He wants to hurt the Hamajo Confederation and wouldn’t mind returning his father’s smile in the process. He fears what the world may look like if the Hamajo Confederation went unchecked.
Combat reports
Gathered based on exercises, training routines, and combat experience reports❖ Combat style--Maema attacks with unrelenting, self-perilously, and overkilling force. He utilizes his kekkei-tota in conjunction with his taijutsu, bojutsu, and limited ninjutsu to decimate all. When he can’t find those kinks he doggedly attacks until he’s weighed the opposition down to near nothing. Oddly enough, he’s prone to being caught in genjutsus and lacks the knowledge to counteract sealing jutsus as well. He’s also known to be a tad overconfident.
❖ Kekkei Genkai--❖ NameSuiginton (Mercury Release)
❖ DescriptionSuiginton (Mercury Release) is more or less exactly what it sounds like. The control, creation, and manipulation of the silvery-white substance. The liquid metal is poisonous, causing severe damage to the senses, muscles, and nerves. Mostly producing tremors, physical weakness, and a cruel disorientation in most beings. Suiginton is a Kekkei Tota that combines Earth, Water, and Lightning chakra natures.
❖ StrengthsMercury is malleable. It strengths come from its flexibility and the poisonous effect it can have in combat. Its also conductive of electricity and rather useful in a pinch. Small applications can be made to counteract potentially difficult situations. For example making a key for a door, flight, or discreetly taking out masses. Handling it most of his life has given him a high resistance to the poisoning.
❖ WeaknessesMercury is weak to both heat and cold. It turns brittle when met with tundric temperatures and melts when it comes into contact with sweltering heat. Suiginton is dangerous. The key to this is actually afflicting Maema with the cold or heat. This works better with cold than it does heat. If his temperature drops, his mercury is brittle and useless. If hot, the mercury comes out incapable of forming solid incarnations.

■ Rank
A
■ Range
3-5 meters
■ Description
Unique to Maema’s Kekkei Tota this technique is used like most shadow clones are, however due to its nature this one is gravely more dangerous. It was inspired by Maema’s father. Like other shadow clones it can interact with the environment and can perform its own techniques. The clones also soak up knowledge and sends it to the user once dispensed of. When injured the clone disperses like liquid, splashing around. Considering the chance that it's melted the clone gives off a noxious, small dose of its poison in the form of gas. At most Maema is capable of summoning 2 clones at a time.

Maema wields the seal of confrontation towards his opponent. A second later he pulls chakra from his heart and it forms into a mercury maiden. This woman is malleable, defense oriented, and floats off the ground. Haruhi is quicker than Maema and physical attacks are near useless against her. Cold is the only effective way to halt her assault as melting her turns her into noxious gas and she simply invades the enemy before fading away. The only downfall is that she only counterattacks but this utilizes minimal amounts of her limited chakra.
