Bukkyo Shizuka
Shi Shi

~Allow me to release your soul from its suffering. Amitabha~.





General information
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Physical Features: Shizuka's body is pale from head to toe due to a form of albinism. Shizuka's body is a pale creamy color like the soft color of a pearl. Due to his preference of keeping his enemies at a distance using the long reach of his staff, his body has relatively few scars, and the few he does are small and thin. His hair when not shaved grows in as white as the snow covered peaks of the mountains surrounding his home. His eyes are a light lavender color, the red of his blood vessels in his eyes, mixing with the blue structural color of the eye creating the unique and unusual color.
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 180lbs
Clothing/Accessories:Due to his desire for revenge and the grudge in his heart coupled with the desire to follow the Buddhist way, he decided to wear black mourning robes in place of the traditional orange or yellow monk robes. The black black mourning robes are worn for the unfortunate souls who's  lives Shizuka was forced to end. What little color that is present in the robes were chosen for their symbolic meaning; the red, the anger he is unable to let go of, the blue, his desire to achieve inner peace. Though commonly seen barefoot, his feet will sometimes be covered by tight black wraps over top of which would be worn black slippers. His pants themselves are form fitting yet flexible to allow for ease of movement. Around his neck are a set of black Mala beads. The black scarf he wears over his mouth serves two purposes. One to act as an air filter and two, to dissuade people from talking to him.
Personality: Shizuka was a child named after his traits, namely his quiet and withdrawn demeanor. More often than not unless something needs to be said Shizuka will remain silent and refuse to speak. If forced to talk or placed in a situation where he must talk he is normally quick and concise in his speech. Other's may mistake his silence for weakness, where as in reality Shizuka strives to not harm anyone if he can help it. His stern appearance and quiet nature may be found to be intimidating, his overall appearance somewhat intense instead of peaceful.

He enjoys calligraphy and poetry two of the few hobbies he allows himself to indulge in. His stroke work is something he is proud of as he has spent a long time to attain his skill. Though he appreciates music he himself has no musical talent. And despite his appreciation and acknowledgement of the skill of those who performing. Shizuka would be more at home in a quiet monastery filled with the quiet symphony of nature than downtown in a pub with performers.

His goal and aim is to seek enlightenment and achieve the do. As such he spends much time tempering his body and mind through rigorous training. His fear is taking a life that he may have been able to spare, seeing all life as important and precious. Despite his peaceful nature, Shizuka has a darkness in his heart that keeps him from reaching enlightenment and inner peace. He seeks justice for the destruction of his family. And until the day comes when his family can be avenged he shall not be able to rest in peace.

Concentrations
Ninjutsu
Suiton:
Suiton Affinity
A character with this concentration is able to utilize Suiton, and can make and use any custom or archived jutsu that require the Suiton affinity. Suiton has a passive enveloping effect.
SpoilerShow
Suiton's effect is enveloping, meaning that suiton passively surrounds anything that it makes contact with. Suiton techniques that do not last over periods of times (i.e, exploding techniques) drench their opponents, but long term techniques will envelop anything they come in contact with and maintain a hold on it with the 3/4th strength of the technique, rounded down. This means that if a suiton wave is shot forward with 17 strength, it will envelope and move anything with it that does not have more than 12 strength to resist it. This allows Suiton to fill a very powerful role in eliminating tools from opponent's access and capturing targets.
Fuuton Affinity:
Fuuton Affinity
A character with this concentration is able to utilize Fuuton, and can make and use any custom or archived jutsu that require the Fuuton affinity. Fuuton has an cutting effect.
SpoilerShow
Fuuton has a natural cutting property to it, that exists in all jutsu unless otherwise stated. This gives fuuton a unique opportunity to strike with additional power, and to act as a offensive defense. Regardless of their purpose fuuton jutsu passively cut with no distinct pattern at 1/2 the strength of the technique rounded down unless otherwise stated. This means if someone punched a 20 strength fuuton wall, they would get cuts on their hand applied with 10 strength. This also means that fuuton jutsu specifically designated to cut things can create devastating wound by essentially striking twice.
Taijutsu
Pranayama:
Requirements: 1 Tajjutsu Concentration
As a member of the Shinkizou clan, the practitioner has honed their mind and body to use Pranayama and through controlled breathing and throat chanting they can alter the state of their body, including their tenketsu. Shinkizou members who have studied this art can thus cast ninjutsu or perform non-maneuver taijutsu through Pranyama from even a completely still position.

To use Pranayama however requires strong bodily control. When casting a jutsu through Pranayama, regardless of jutsu type, a Taijutsu stat equal to the rank requirement of the jutsutype being cast is required. For example, if Pranayama is used to cast an S-Rank Fireball, which requires 35 Ninjutsu, 35 Taijutsu is also required. Pranayama when used as a casting method scales with the users Taijutsu level.
Close Quarters Combat:
Close Quarters Combat

Genjutsu ----

Jutsu
SpoilerShow
place ninjutsu here
Toryu Kenjutsu:
Toryu Kenjutsu is a sword style originating from the Land of Pebbles that focuses on not just performing kenjutsu but also weaving close quarters style taijutsu into the bladework. Toryu's specialty is not only learning to capably slash a sword with one hand but also learning to use the hands, joints, legs and even the head to make frighteningly dangerous close quarters fighters. An inelegant style, it is commonly associated with the more 'rough' samurai but in truth it's reliance on two opposing impulses and control of the body makes it one of the more difficult Kenjutsu styles to learn. While usable with most blades, experienced fighters often prefer wakizashi, ninjato and even tanto daggers instead of katana for increased mobility.

Requires: [Close Quarters Combat], [Sword] Concentrations
Iron Body Style:
Harden the mind and body to become Iron. Unlike most stances, due to use of Pranayama specifically the user can actually use each stance without a specific form to their body, though the form written is considered the historical style of the fighting.

Requires: [Pranayama], [Rigid Body], [Close Quarters Combat], and [Perception] concentrations

The Eight Gates of Heaven:
The ultimate and legendary form of bodily control, through controlled breathing a pure ]concentration the user breaks the limiters of their mind and body, allowing them to harness the full power within. Unlike usual stances, the Eight Gates of Heaven is achieved solely through Pranayama, meaning the user can enter the state through breathing and body control rather than moving a specific way.

Requires: [Pranayama] and [Close Quarters Combat] concentrations






History
SpoilerShow
Shizuka was an orphan taken in by the Shinkizou Monastery at the age of 4. Originally thought to be mute due to his silence it was only later discovered his silence was due to the trauma of witnessing the death of his family. His child hood in the monastery was rather uneventful. Much like the boy's name it was a quiet life of meditation and training.

As a child he was a weapons prodigy able to master a variety of styles and techniques. The only thing out of the ordinary was his habit of only using a staff. Though he'd been trained in a variety of spear and sword techniques, he'd train and fight with a staff. It was a tad bit unorthodox however he made use of the flexibility and universal qualities of the staff. He would use the staff to act as a sword spear or club, relying on the one weapon to act as others, supplementing jutsu to create blades where none were prior.

Despite his original training to be a temple guard, hidden in his heart was a darkness he couldn't let go. He was unable to relinquish his desire for revenge against the man who killed his family and was thus unable to separate from his worldly desires. As such when offered the chance he enrolled to become a shinobi of Kumogakure seeking to find a chance to obtain his revenge so he could fully embrace the Buddhist teachings of his monastery.

His journey as a shinobi has been a relatively long one despite the short time he's been a shinobi. Learning ninjutsu wasn't too hard however genjutsu proved to be quite a challenge, his forthright nature making illusions a harder than it should've been.

His first mission was nothing along what he'd been expecting, being assigned to baby sit and elders granchild. Despite his rank and ability as a temple monk, when he became a shinobi he had to restart from the bottom rung. As such he went from direct combat duties all the way down to base chores. Despite his surprise he didn't complain, a shock to his superiors. Instead he silently followed through with the mission. Due to his prior experience and his dutiful nature, Shizuka cleared through mission after mission, boosting his squads completion rating by 45%.

As a result of his excellent performance Shizuka was quickly promoted to Chuunin. His exam was a C-Rank mission, escorting a merchant to his home in the southern portion of the country. He discovered a bandit ambush ahead of time and was able to take out the 3 foolish men without harm coming to his charge. His familiarity with his weapon and focused mind allowed him to control the flow of the battle despite the unfavorable odds stacked against him. His exemplary service earned him full marks and he was moved to a new squad upon his promotion.

Despite his pacifist nature Shizuka became well known for killing his enemies with out so much as a word spoken between them. The only sounds one would hear would be the muffled chanting of his matras. This behavior earned him the nickname Shi Shi or quiet death. Though Shizuka himself never truely reacted to this nickname, he was aware of what others were calling him and thus responded. Thus the holy man earned himself an unholy nickname.

As his renown grew throughout Kumogakure as a powerful shinobi, his reputation amongst the Buddhist fell as his behaviors were rather contradictory to the behavior expected of a proper monk, despite him not being the only monk shinobi. Due to his own inner conflict because of the contradictions of the Buddhist Do and Nindo, the young warrior monk took to wearing black mourning robes and began to pray for the lives of those he has killed. One could tell he'd been forced to kill a lot by how fervently he'd pray and recite his mantras.

As a chuunin, Shizuka was rather efficient when assisting lower ranking soldiers. Though he wouldn't say much, he'd often demonstrate or give out scrolls with detailed instructions written with beautiful penmanship. Anyone he trained would build a rather strong physique due to his traditional body training exercises. His Jounin supervisor would often praise him for his skill and patience.

Due to his ability to perform exceptionally both as a fighter and a leader, his Jounin suggested he be promoted to Special Jounin and given a team of his own to command, believing he had the skills to nurture future generations of shinobi despite his young age. With his supervisor's support and recommendation, Shizuka was given a B-rank mission; to train one whole class of graduating academy students.

For the next three years Shizuka trained a class of academy newbies. Shizuka had his work cut out for him. Helping 2 genin that already had a rough idea of what they should be doing wasn't all that hard, but teaching children that knew next to nothing that was an entirely different story. His first order of business was to improve his own genjutsu so as to be able to teach it better.

As a young teacher, Shizuka began to view his trainees as younger siblings. He cared for them and poured his heart into his work. He was a hard teacher, but he only ever wanted them to succeed. When any student would fall behind he'd offer them extra lessons so they could pass the next test. His motto as a teacher was leave no man behind. To him it was no longer about succeeding his mission and being promoted, no it was ensuring these children would learn the required skills to survive.

On the day of the graduating class 90% of his class passed the final exam and the few remaining students who had failed,  scored high enough to be passed after remedial training. His results astounded the higher ups as the average rate of graduation was usually around 85%. As a result some of his training methods were noted, and spread to improve the Academy as a whole. Due to his hard work and contributions to the academy, Shizuka was granted the rank of Special Jounin.

It was a fairly fast yet eventful trip from genin at 12 years old to special jounin at 24. He is now eagerly awaiting his first command of a genin squad, hoping a few of his previous students will be among their number.

I'm aware the jutsu missing, and the family he is apart of has yet to be approved. Director is aware, the character is merely waiting for the family to be approved. Once the family is approved, jutsu will be added.
