[Peace breeds War, War breeds Peace]
General Information Age: 24
Gender: Male
Appearance: Standing at 6’2”, weighing in at 217lbs, Kohon is a large man with an intimiating appearance. His shaggy black hair is cut short to his head, his eyes brown. He features a strong jaw lined, defined even further by the five ‘o clock shadow he seems to have at all times. Lacking any tattoos, his arms, chest, and back are all covered in large and small scars alike from his rigorous years of sword training. Kohon has two outfits, his standard outfit and an outfit with his gear. His standard outfit is what he normally wears, while his outfit with his gear being strictly for missions. His standard outfit is made up of a black shirt, and black pants. He wears his steel fiber cape with this outfit, clipped together on his chest, with the hood. He wears his forehead protector as his belt, and has no weaponry pouch, just the two hilts for his Nui Wei Dao. He wears black ninja shoes, as opposed to the sandles. When wearing his gear, he adds on his flak jacket, arm guards, and greaves.
Forehead Protector: His forehead protector is wore as his belt.
Personality: Kohon spent much of his youth training, and it shaped him as a person. He was taught patience and perseverance. His training created a very calm demeanor, making Kohon someone who is very hard to read. This isn’t to say he doesn’t experience emotion, on the contrary Kohon has a very sympathetic heart. However, he doesn’t very often express his emotions in full. Happiness, to any length is just a small smile. When he gets angry he just doesn’t talk as much. When he’s laughing, it’s just a small chuckle. Many say this makes him very intimidating, and Kohon likes to embrace this, knowing intimidation is important in the world of a shinobi.
Meticulous and careful, Kohon does his best to notice the slight details in things. He sticks to his habits, and is always ensuring his body, and equipment are in their best shape. He’s always looking out for the safety of the people around him, and would quickly put himself between an innocent and the blade. A lawful good through and through, Kohon believes in playing by the rules. He’s a Kirigakure shinobi at heart, and despises the scum that tarnish the name of his village. He questions the methods of his village, as his moral compass was formed before the village could intercept them, but never questions his orders. He’s quick to perform, and always puts his best foot forward, to ensure that he does the best he can. Kohon is a welcoming soul, and is always encouraging people around him to learn and get to know each other. He believes strongly in the bonds he forms, but understands sacrifice must be made.
Battle Information
Rank: Jounin Village: Kirigakure no Sato Chakra Affinity: Doton Second Chakra Affinity: Raiton Organizational Affiliations: Unaffiliated Specialization: Close Quarters Combat, Weapons Proficiency Kohon focuses on his weapon proficiency in combat primarily. Equip with a wide range of weapons Kohon is well equip for most situations and relies on his advanced hearing and array of weapons to track down and quickly finish his opponents. Due to the unique ability of his swords, it's not uncommon for Kohon to create a massive amount of dust and then quickly eliminate his opponent in a single blow. He aims for large, deadly blows to finish his opponent quickly, but if not incapable of dealing minor wounds and simply outlasting his opponent. Perhaps most important of Kohon's skills however are his genjutsu combined with his silent fighting style, that he uses to cause small distractions to create openings he can utilize. |

A mixture of speed and strength, practitioners of this style dance around the battlefield, and their opponent, until the time is right to land a heavy strike that ends the fight, often leaving victims cleaved clean in half.
Requires: [Acrobatics], [Sword]
D-rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Aware a projectile is flying along their projected pathway, the user will step with their lead foot, and pivot, circling their body around the projectile. This will allow them to continue their path without losing any speed. This jutsu does not allow the user to bypass their wit or taijutsu stats, but simply allows the user to maintain speeds when making movements.
Side Step
D-rank Taijutsu Maneuver
If a projectile is too large for the user to simply pivot around it, the user will do a quick jump to the side using their momentum to propel them. This jutsu does not allow the user to bypass their wit or taijutsu stats, but simply allows the user to maintain speeds when making movements.
Rear Step
D-rank Taijutsu Maneuver
When already running, the user will do a full pivot on their lead food, using the force of the momentum to propel them in the opposite direction, allowing them to rapidly turn around. The user will not retain speed from this movement, however.
Ambidexterity
D - Ranked Taijutsu Discipline
Requires: 5 Taijutsu
After extensive practice and training the character has gained equal strength and skill between their two hands. This allows them to perform any action with either hand at exactly the same skill level and strength.
Skillful Wield
D-Ranked Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequisite: 5 Instinct
With a solid foundation of knowledge on their choice of weaponry, those with the Skillful Wield technique are able to utilize their weapon more fully. By knowing the weapon's weakest points, the user is able to avoid presenting these areas to damage during combat, thus making their weapon less likely to break by means of recklessness.
Spin
D-Ranked Taijutsu Maneuver
Utilized when the user is vulnerable on the ground, this technique allows him/her to get up easily while expelling nearby weapons and people. To perform Spin, the user swings their legs around above them, causing them to spin around. This subsequently knocks away the objects and people in their proximity at a strength equal to the user's while allowing the user to get to get up.
Balance
D-rank Discipline
The user has spent countless hours training themselves in balance, and is able to stand without losing their balance on any surface, so long as it is not a moving surface (such as a boat or plane)
Toss
D-rank Tajutsu Maneuver

Spinning Swords
C-rank Kenjutsu Maneuver
Experienced with their swords, the user is able to spin the sword in their hands, with Kohon’s dust producing swords, this allows him to rapidly create a large quantity of dust.
Scissor Cleave
C-rank Kenjutsu Maneuver
If the user has closed the distance between themselves and the opponent, they’ll spread their arms out wide, holding both swords out. With a quick inward swing with both arms, they’ll cleave both swords into the opponent, ranging from decapitating them, to bifurcating them depending on where the swords strike. The success of this technique is not independent of the targets armor, and other factors, and all should be considered when using the technique to determine how extensively it damages at target.
Gut
C-rank Kenjutsu Maneuver
Wielding a single sword, the user will hold the hilt with both hands. Pulling back, they’ll quickly thrust the sword forward into the opponent’s stomach, gutting them.
Slap
C-rank Kenjutsu Maneuver
The user will strike with the flat of their sword, rather than the blade. This has an impressive amount of force, and anyone with 2 less strength than the user will be knocked to the ground.
Hilt Jab
C-rank Kenjutsu Maneuver
When drawing a sword out of the sheath, the user will immediately follow with an upwards motion, slamming the hilt into the chin of someone directly in front of him. In a close quarters situation this is enough to disorient someone long enough to begin an attack.
Deliberate
C-rank Kenjutsu Discipline
Having years of experience with their sword, the user has learned to maximize efficiency by limiting themselves to only deliberate motions. Because of this, the user tends to be very still in fighting, only moving when necessary to attack or defend themselves. Due to the deliberateness of their movement, they are able to perform maximum strength attacks with their sword at any given moment.
Close Quarters
B-rank Taijutsu Discipline
When in enclosed areas, many swordfighters find themselves limited by space, and cannot use full force when attacking. This person has experience fighting in tight spaces, and is proficient in making quick, deadly strikes without sacrificing any power.
Bifurcate
B-rank Kenjutsu Maneuver
Due to the nature of the swords Kohon wields, he’s able to channel a great amount of power through them despite their small size. If ever given at least 10 feet between him and an opponent, Kohon simply has to charge forward with the sword extended and cleave straight through the opponent. If they do not put anything between themselves and the sword, or dodge the attack, Kohon will cleave straight through the enemy, killing them. The success of this technique is not independent of the targets armor, and other factors, and all should be considered when using the technique to determine how extensively it damages at target.
Bat Away
B-rank Kenjutsu Maneuver
The user has enough experience with their sword that they can bat way solid projectiles with relative ease, using the flat of the sword, so long as they have more strength than the projectile.

History Kohon was born to a typical shinobi family. Both his parents were genjutsu users, his father a chuunin, his mother a special jounin. They were committed to the village, just as any other shinobi were, but they had other aspirations in life. Being shinobi was almost secondary to them. They continued to do their job, and to re-up their contracts, but they wanted a family. They loved each other, and wanted to share their lives. Enter Kohon, he was smart, loving, and friendly. He got along with people, and was a quick learned. When he became of age, he was a shoe-in for the top academy.
He had a knack for genjutsu, just as his parents expected, but he was never really into them. Perhaps the concept of them had grown old, having been surrounded by them his entire life. What he really loved was taijutsu. Ninjutsu was too much “magic” for him, too much sitting down and getting no results. But taijutsu? It was brilliant. Gorgeous. You could see your body getting stronger, getting tighter. You could feel the energy through you as you kicked and swung, ducked and dived. Yes, yes, Kohon loved taijutsu.
When he graduated from the academy, he focused all his skills into being a taijutsu master. He did his best to master his punches, and to get good at his kicks. He knew that with taijutsu, he’d have to be strong, and he’d have to be fast. Without any way to fight at a range, he would he to be able to dodge attacks, and close distance. He knew that, even when he was young, so he was a focused and diligant learner.
He graduated when he was almost 9, and by time he was 11, he had decided he wanted to get more proficient in weaponry. So, with two renewed contracts under his belt, Kohon decided not to renew his third. He instead, gave his life to a blacksmith that worked in the merchant caste. Known for his unique swords, Kohon knew this was the man that could shape his future. Kohon worked tirelessly under this mans guidance, to learn the ways of his smithing. This man had many secrets beyond smithing, however. By time Kohon was 14, the smith said he no more smithing skills to teach Kohon. But Kohon knew there was more the old man could teach. Kohon knew there were many skills the man had once had. And Kohon wanted to learn them.
For 4 more years, Kohon was under the mans tutelage. Here, he learned all of the swords arts. He was amazed at the way the smithing so naturally correlated to the swordsman skills. How many of the things he was taught to craft a sword, helped in using the sword as well. Kohon was still under the man’s guidance when the old man died. The man’s son inherited the smith shop, but Kohon had nothing to learn from his son. So he decided he would return to the duty he had been born to do. He had been out of duty 7 years at that point, and re-entered service to the village. Still only a genin, Kohon was lightyears ahead of his class. He took his chuunin test mere weeks into reentering services, and passed with flying colours.
As a chuunin, however, he did meet some difficulty. His opponents were smarter, stronger, faster...better. So he had to continuing getting better as well. He began focusing on his fundementals again. Learning how to move quietly. To hear more. To move with precision and accuracy, to become a shinobi that could kill with a single blow. Then, something amazing happened. The son of the smith that taught him everything contacted him, telling him that he had found something of his fathers he thought Kohon deserved.
The Ancient Twins. They weren’t exemplary, or anything world changing, but the son thought Kohon deserved to have one of his fathers more personal works. Kohon took the Ancient Twins with confidence, he had already began developing the skills needed to use them. So he continued on. He showed ingenuity and masterful insight into tactics and hand to hand combat. Yes, Kohon was young, but he was destined to be great. At 19, only a year after he qualified for chuunin, Kohon went up for jounin. It was a natural progression, and it was a surprise to no one.
Kohon has since been placed in several teams, all trying to find the right fit for someone designed to rule the battlefield on his own. He’s recently been paired with another swordsman, who gets along with him rather well. He has set his eyes on the prestige of the best swordsmen in the village, the Seven Swordsmen.
