Kinoko, Kurone
Ku



[Even a small star shines in the darkness.]

General Information Age: 23
Gender: Female
Height: 5'2"
Weight: 115lbs

Physical Features:
  • Face/head: Kurone in accordance with her childlike physique has fairly soft rounded facial features with her faded eyes as well being large and fairly cat-like, though with that said she often wears a neutral expression and has a tendency to frown if she emotes at all, a smile being exceptionally rare. She has long black hair falling to the middle of her back and the cap of a large mushroom growing out of her head acting almost as a hat of sorts.
  • Body: Much like the rest of her clan Kurone is dark skinned and possesses a number of fungal growths on her body, one on the back of each hand and a number of smaller mushrooms dotted across her back. Much to her chagrin she's rather tiny, lacking in height and muscle and while it is noticeable to those who pay close attention she is only moderately endowed, causing many to mistake her for a child or young teenager at first glance.
  • Notable Features:Various mushrooms growing over body, notably on her hands and back as well as the top of her head
Clothing/Accessories: Largely Kurone's outfits of choice comprise of long gowns and skirts paired with long sleeved tops, her favorite of these being a long black dress with long sleeves accompanied by dark stockings and knee high boots.

When on missions her outfit consists instead of a backless halter style top allowing her access to the mushrooms on her back and a pair of tight fitting pants, though she keeps her boots from her normal outfit.

Personality:
  • General: Through no fault of her own Kurone has over time gained a reputation as being quiet and aloof, perhaps even emotionless and distant to those who don't know her. Her general demeanor is something that she actually has a complex towards, easily becoming upset should it be brought up. With that said she has a love of crowds and one of her main hobbies is people watching, finding it fascinating to see how various peoples go about their day. When she does directly interact with others she is rather friendly though still often quiet, preferring to speak through actions and gestures rather than words... it being easier for her to express herself that way as she can otherwise be quite awkward in her dealings with others. With that said she cares a great deal for those around her and is generally quite cheerful even if her facial expressions and general demeanor don't show it. All that said she does find it easier to loosen up a bit around friends and family, those who actually take some time to know her finding so much more beneath the surface.
  • Hopes/Dreams: On the surface Kurone's wish is to serve her newfound homeland, to protect it and its people. While that is true... deep down her dearest desires are to pass on her knowledge to the next generation as a teacher and perhaps one day to have a family of her own
  • Fears: Kurone's greatest fear is to lose all that's been gained for both herself and her clan over the years, to go back to the way things once were.
  • Combat Mentality:In combat Kurone works best with a team as she relies heavily on a supportive brand Ninjutsu, keeping at a distance and supporting allies through use of various jutsu meant to hinder foes or buff her fellows to make it easier for her allies to finish the job

Abilities and Concentrations
Abilities
First Ability
Shinkin-niku (Fungus Flesh):
Believed to be blessed by a Goddess, the Kinoko's Kekkei Genkai gives them the capability of growing mushrooms from their bodies and their surroundings and to produce large amounts of spores from their tenketsu as well as any fungi the Kinoko member creates through an energy source they call Mycorrhiza, which would be identified by the five villages as chakra. These fungi and their spores can be utilized in a number of different ways with techniques of all sorts, making members of this clan highly versatile. Unless otherwise specified, mushrooms created through Kinoko techniques constantly produce spores from their gills. These spores are the basis of many Kinoko techniques, but have a weakness in that they are easily burned, washed off or blown away.

Kinoko clan members vary wildly in appearance depending on age, birth, and even their chosen specialization to some extent with older clan members having more of their body covered with larger and more diverse forms of fungi. As such, while each member share common traits of dark skin and pale, faded eyes the rest of their appearance can vary wildly, making it so that no two Kinoko share much commonality in how they look, their uniqueness only growing with time.
Fungal GrowthsShow
The mushrooms growing on Kurone's body are a rare species in the Amanita Genus known as Amanita Galactica. She has several growths on her body, most notably a mushroom cap covering the back of each hand and and another much larger cap growing out of her head, acting as a hat in some ways. Less notably there are a number of small mushrooms growing out of and dotting her back. Even despite her otherwise general lack of emoting, these mushrooms can serve as some indicator of her mood, perking up when she's happy or excited amongst other positives and drooping when she's feeling down

IijutsuShow
D-Ranked

*[Iijutsu • Diagnostic Check]
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
A technique used by medical shinobi to deduce what is going on with a patient. They will perform a hand seal and green chakra will cover their hands. From there, they may place them upon a number of patients equal to their [Chakra Pool]/2. Their chakra will travel through the patient at [Control] Speed before coming back to them and allowing the medical shinobi to be able to tell their patients temperature, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and heart rate for as long as they have chakra.

*[Iijutsu • Personal Protective Equipment]
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
When real latex equipment is not on hand, the user will perform a single hand seal and will focus chakra onto their hands, nose, and mouth to form a thin layer of chakra around them at [Control] Speed and Strength. This chakra will filter bacteria and other particles to and from the user, the environment, and their medical equipment. This technique can be held as long as the user has chakra.

*[Iijutsu • Sterilization Technique]
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
The user will channel the needed chakra throughout their upper body (torso, arms, hands, face) at [Control] Speed. This chakra will chew away at harmful bacteria and other foreign bodies on the skin, cleansing it until it is thoroughly sterile, and can be spread to objects, most commonly surgical tools. Users of this technique can also choose to sterilize certain parts of their upper body or the wounds of another person instead. Once they are sanitized, they remain this way until coming in contact with more bacteria.

*[Iijutsu • CPR]
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
After focusing chakra into the hands, the user will place both over the target's chest or back. By allowing the chakra to be channeled throughout the lungs and up through the air ways, any unseen, solid or liquid obstructions will be cleared from these passages and ejected through the mouth, allowing the patient to breathe more easily. Additionally, the hands can be placed over the heart to stimulate it as if it was manually receiving CPR.

*[Iijutsu • Blood Clot Technique]
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
After focusing chakra into their hands, the user will hover them over the bleeding wound and begin to channel chakra through it. The chakra will began to thicken the blood, causing it to clot at [Control] Speed. Wounds can be dealt with one limb at a time and the number of wounds that can be tended to within the three (3) posts that this technique lasts depends on their size. Although this technique stops the bleeding, the wound remains vulnerable and will require further care after this has been performed.

*[Iijutsu • Bandage Technique]
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
The user may channel chakra into an object (such as a leaf, piece of cloth, etc.) in the absence of bandages to sterilize it and is able to apply it to the wound of a patient. Once applied, the selected object will adhere to the flesh around the wound, protecting it from bacteria and other harmful foreign bodies. Wounds covered by this jutsu not only are safeguarded against bacteria but also applied an antiseptic and burn ointment to further provide aid.

C-Ranked

*[Iijutsu • Local Anesthesia]
C-Ranked Ninjutsu
The user will channel chakra into their hands and then place them over a group of muscles. Their chakra will spread through the muscle group at [Control Speed and numbness will begin to creep throughout it, beginning with the flesh before seeping into the muscle below. This numbing begins where the user has placed his/her hands and spreads outward until the hands are removed. The numbness can only cause pain equivalent to being stabbed with a kunai to be nullified. Once numbed, the effects last for four (4) posts before fading.

*[Iijutsu • Basic Antidote Technique]
C-Ranked Ninjutsu
The user will channel their chakra and then make a small incision on the patient before placing their hands over the new wound. As this chakra is channeled into the body, the poison is extracted and contained in a green orb of chakra in the user's palm at [Control] Speed. Once extracted, the liquid poison will be suspended in the containment orb. Their chakra then mutates the poison at [Control] speed and rearranges it into an antidote. This antidote is effective on C-rank or lower poisons and induces immunity to the specific poison the patient was ailed with for 7 posts.

*[Iijutsu • Skin Mask]
C-Ranked Ninjutsu
This particularly disturbing technique is typically utilized by medical-nin operating covertly. After obtaining a dead body, the user will channel chakra into the deepest layer of skin to carefully remove the facial skin from the underlying tissue. Once this has been done, the user will focus their chakra into the separated skin before applying it to his/her face. As this chakra makes contact with the user's skin, the skin cells will bond, creating a seamless mask. This new face remains stable for up to three (3) threads before it will begin to rot.

*[Iijutsu • Blood Transfer Technique]
C-Ranked Ninjutsu
The user must make small incisions into the patient and donors' bodies to open a vein. Once the vein has been opened, the user will begin to channel chakra into the donor and the patient at [Control] Speed. The patient's blood pressure will increase and stabilize itself while the donors blood pressure will decrease due to the transfer of blood. No more than 1 liter (2 pints) of blood can be transferred using this technique without repercussions such as fainting, loss of sensation, anemia, and death. In the event a donor is not available, the user may act as the donor. This also acts to allow the donor and patient to be a synthetic match so as to not send the patient into shock. This technique does not transfer KKG permanent or otherwise to the patient.

*[Iijutsu • Chakra Stitching]
C-Ranked Ninjutsu
The user performs a short set of hand seals and then will gently place their index finger at the base of the patient's wound. Once this is done, the user will lift their finger and touch it to the other side of the wound, causing a visible 'stitch' of chakra to appear and hold the wound together with [Control] Strength. This is repeated until the wound has been pulled together. Actions performed with more [Strength] or [Speed] than the [Control] used to create the stitch will destroy it.

B-Ranked

*[Iijutsu • Burn Heal]
B-Ranked Ninjutsu
The user will channel chakra and then place their hands over the burned area. The chakra works its way to the deepest layer of the burn at [Control] Speed and begins to cool, numb, and repair the area to prevent harmful, scar-producing blistering in the affected area. This relief downgrades the burn grade by one tier and numbs the affected area.

*[Iijutsu • Chakra Scalpel]
B-Ranked Ninjutsu
The antithesis to the famous *[Iijutsu • Mystical Palm], the infamous *[Iijutsu • Chakra Scalpel] is no precision instrument. The user will channel chakra into their palms before attempting to place them on a target. If the user is able to connect the entirety of their palm, the chakra will be released into the opponent's body at [Control] Strength. If cast with 34 [Control] or less, this chakra will slice through thinner body tissues, such as arteries, ligaments, tendons, or veins with ease but cannot slice thicker tissue such as that found around organs, up to 4 inches from the surface in an area roughly the size of the user's hand. If cast with 35 [Control] or more, thicker tissue can be sliced through. The skin remains unblemished by this technique, as it only causes internalwounds. The chakra used in this technique is highly visible when first activated and emanates from both hands for a duration of three (3) posts or until contact with the opponent is made.

A-Ranked

*[Iijutsu • Mystical Palm]
A-Ranked Ninjutsu
One of the almighty and most highly coveted abilities of medical-nin, the [i]*[color=#008b5e][Iijutsu • Mystical Palm][/color][/i] technique allows its users to heal wounds quickly and efficiently. After focusing chakra into his/her hands, the user will place them over the wound in question and begin to channel chakra through it. As the chakra interacts with the cells and tissues in the area, the wound will begin to regenerate and heal over until there's no remnant of it ever being there.

History
Historical AccountsShow
Kurone was born, or rather grown as a result of her clan's reproduction rituals, in a time she can still well remember, one where the Kinoko were still a scattered group of nomads within the Land of Plains and Sea. If one were to ask whether she missed that lifestyle she wouldn't be able to give an answer, though it was a happy time nonetheless if not a bit difficult and even rather lonely at points. She dearly loved her parents and siblings but some part of her had always wished that the clan could be gathered under one banner, that they would no longer be bullied by the locals and forced into traveling separate paths.

As the kids grew up it was their mother that provided them with a general education, teaching them about their clan and the larger world around them. Their father meanwhile worked tirelessly to provide for them. Over time her brother and one of her sisters even began following along after their father while she and her youngest sister spent time with their mother. During the times she spent alone with her mother she often helped the woman in her role as a healer, early on coming to the realization that some wounds and illnesses were beyond their capabilities, a saddening thought.

Some years passed and the world became embroiled in war, a long peace broken. In preparation for the time they may have to fight each of the children began training for the sake of protecting each other and their aging parents. Of course they had been learning self defense even earlier but now it seemed necessary to actually take it seriously. Little did they know however that this war would change the course of their clan's trajectory and have a profound effect on their own lives. Some months into the war the Kinoko clan had been approached united for the first time in their entire history. All at the hands of a man by the name of Kaguya Aimi. Her two elder siblings had even had the honor of eventually joining him in a revolt on the capital city of the Land of Plains and Sea. As part of their alliance the man had even taught the members of the clan the secrets of chakra, Kurone soon realizing that while it could be used as a tool of destruction it served another purpose as well... It allowed for even greater feats of healing than what she had previously been capable of, providing a solution to her realizations from all those years ago.

For her part Kurone often found herself spending time apart from her family during the war, working to fight off bandits making use of the chaos to attack innocent villages and even at times working as a traveling healer. It was a new experience for her but the knowledge that she was helping people brought forth warm fuzzy feelings. In some ways the path she would take in life was beginning to become more clear to her....

After what felt like an eternity of strife and bloodshed, though in reality had only been around five years, the war came to a close, peace once more settling in and life beginning to go back to normal. For the citizens of the recently expanded Gold Country however there would be one more major upheaval. A couple more years would pass until they received a bombshell... Their new leader had been killed in action. While there was some remorse, few felt it greater than Kurone and her fellow Kinoko. For perhaps the first time in their history the Kinoko had been united and had gained the respect of their fellows. She had never personally met him herself but even so she had nothing but respect and some deal of admiration for the man that had worked so hard to unite so many different groups of people and even had spread the secrets of chakra.

What was a country with no leader supposed to do? Perhaps there may have been a good deal of unrest and maybe even attempted revolts. As it turned out however the one whom had delivered the news of Aimi's death had been none other than Iyashii Fuhen, the Grand Shogun of the newly formed Heart Empire. With it also came the news that their country was to become a part of the Empire. Of course not everyone was pleased by this news but to Kurone this news was exciting. This meant she may be able to help even more people, the thought making her giddy as can be.

With that said she underwent a small amount of formal training at Heart's Shinobi Samurai Academy and soon thereafter joined the military. She even began working part time as an instructor, finally having found her drive in life. She wanted nothing more than to protect those around her and to pass on her knowledge to the next generation.

Life thus far had been a bumpy road but it had helped to prepare her for what was to come, whatever that was to be.
