Nara, Sandayu
Sanda, That Asshole
Are we done yet?
General Information Age: 12
Gender: Male
Height: 4’ 8”
Weight: 88 lbs
Physical Features:
- Face/head: Fairly unremarkable. He has black, shoulder-length hair that is pulled back whenever he goes anywhere. His eyes show his Nara heritage, thin and black with small pupils. He has yet to lose all of his baby fat, and as such his face is a little chubby.
- Body: Once again pretty normal, Sandayu stands a little on the short side. He is also quite thin, unlike the toned or muscular bodies of the ninja he is now a part of. His skin is quite pale, despite living in the Fire Country his whole life. He is currently in his ‘awkward phase’, and as such his body has begun to look a little out of proportion, although this doesn’t affect his work.
- Notable Features:None yet, despite his slightly sickly appearance.
Picture:
Personality:
- General: Sandayu is lazy, rude, and altogether a pain in the ass. Beyond that however…is exactly the same thing. He has no idea why people get angry with him when he insults them, after all, he is just telling the truth. He shows very little interest in other people, finding them boring, and would much prefer to sleep all day than train. If someone manages to stick around long enough to get past this outside layer, they will find he is much the same, although he will no longer hate them entirely. Yeah, this guy is fun to be around.
- Hopes/Dreams: To eventually create a peace within the world, just so that he can sleep as long as he wants, as well as find the truth about his father’s death.
- Fears: Dying, not doing anything with his life, and spiders.
- Combat Mentality: Although Sandayu tends to stay out of fights if possible, he is able to hold his own. Preferring to stay back and use his bow to take down an opponent, he is also able to use his clan’s shadow jutsu if a closer approach is needed.

Shadow ManipulationShow Less of an element and more like a specialty, the members of the Nara Clan are able to manipulate both their own shadows and shadows in the surrounding area. This chakra allows them to use various techniques that allow them to create effective traps to use against an opponent as long as there is enough light in the area to create the shadows needed to do so. If there is absolutely no light present in the area of the Nara member, they are unable to use their shadow techniques. Requires an above average Wit and Control for the character's rank. The range at a clan member can manipulate shadows is dependent on their control stat:

Flawless AimShow
D-RankShow
*[Flawless Aim Style • Sentinel Stance]
D-Rank Taijutsu Stance
A stable and steady stance practiced by nearly all wishing to use projectiles. At this stage they are planted and focusing on their arms and shoulders, moving in smooth motions to mitigate unnecessary movements that may ruin their aim.
*[Flawless Aim Style • Multi-shot]
D-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
The practitioner is able to knock multiple arrows upon a single shot, loosing all of them simultaneously. Their accuracy suffers from this, taking a cumulative -2 Strength for each additional shot.
*[Flawless Aim Style • Arcing Shot]
D-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
The practitioner is able to shoot in arcs up and over most obstacles, being able to accurately hit a target that is behind obstructions as if they were in the open. Granted, they must know of their target’s location or have another means of detecting them.
*[Flawless Aim Style • Tracking]
D-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
This allows the user to hit a moving target so long as it is moving in a way predictable to the user. They must still take into account travel time, and sudden changes in path will still affect the outcome.
*[Flawless Aim Style • Rapid Shot]
D-Rank Taijutsu Stance
The user will hold multiple projectiles in their hands to reduce the amount of time needed between each shot. When required they can quickly and fluidly draw more projectiles and keep up a steady stream of attacks. However, while utilizing this Stance the users feet must be planted, limiting the range of their assault, and their ability to be mobile while using it.

C-RankShow
*[Flawless Aim Style • Evasive Maneuvers]
C-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
The user has learned to maintain accuracy while on the move. This allows the user to move at full speed and even change directions without interrupting their rhythm.
*[Flawless Aim Style • Ricochet Shot]
C-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
By launching their shot at the proper angle the practitioner is capable of bouncing their projectile off solid surfaces without losing accuracy. Any surface they bounce off causes the projectile to lose ⅕ of its impact strength and soft or uneven surfaces are impossible to bounce off.
*[Flawless Aim Style • Hidden Shot]
C-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
By releasing two projectiles back to back the user attempts to create a decoy for the second. The first projectile is often larger or of equal size and the second is slightly behind and below it, usually attempting to hide in the first’s shadow. This masks the attack to some degree. However, perceptive opponents who have an instinct greater than the user’s tai may be able to see through the charade, provided they have means to do so.

History
Historical AccountsShow
Sandayu was born into a rather normal family, his father a jounin from the Nara clan and his mother a civilian. Both of his parents cared for him, but his father seemed distant nonetheless. Even though he was born into one of the clans of the village, Sandayu was never pressured into following his father’s footsteps, bar for one occasion on which his father and a few of the older clan members tested him to see if he would be able to learn the clan’s techniques. After this, his father would bring up training every now and then, but Sandayu was never interested, preferring to simply read instead.
His early life followed much the same pattern, leading Sandayu into a quiet, content life. His father however was more distant than ever, even when he was home from a mission neither Sandayu or his mother saw much of him. Then one day, when Sandayu was nine, his father was killed during an A-Rank mission to another country. The village simply said that there was an accident, but rumours circulated that he was going to turn on the village and they killed him before this could happen.
His mother tried to shield Sandayu from these rumours, but they reached him none the less, and he grew angry. He knew that his father would never betray the village, and yet these people who knew nothing about him were accusing him of being a traitor. He resolved to find the truth, but knew that he would have to work his way into the system, and as such announced to his mother that he would be joining the academy.
Now a genin, Sandayu has closed himself of from others, focussing only on his mission. Although he has a goal in mind, he has also become quite lazy due to excelling in the academy, which got him into trouble quite often.
