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Personality: Shizuka was a child named after his traits, namely his quiet and withdrawn demeanor.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
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.
Raiton:
Raiton
A character with this concentration is able to utilize Raiton, and can make and use any custom or archived jutsu that require the Raiton affinity. Raiton has a shocking effect.
Passive (Shocking)Show
Raiton has the effect of shocking, which means causes it's effect to be diffuse upon impact. In organic material, this causes nervous stimulation which results in numbness, tingling, loss of sensation, and sometimes paralysis. In inorganic material, this means that the strength of the jutsu diffuses across an area 2x the size of the attack. In a jutsu that creates a lightning ball 2m in diameter, if it struck a wall the size of the attack would cover a 4m area.

Additionally, the strength of the nervous effect on organic material from raiton jutsu is determined by the Strength stat range they fall into.
  • 1-14 Strength Requirement: Tingling, acute numbness.
  • 15-24 Strength Requirement: Loss of Sensation
  • 25-34 Strength Requirement: Localized Paralysis
  • 35+ Strength Requirement: Diffuse Paralysis
Doton:
Doton Affinity
A character with this concentration is able to utilize Doton, and can make and use any custom or archived jutsu that require the doton affinity. Doton has a passive enduring effect.
Passive (Enduring)Show
Doton has a passive effect of Endurance, which means that it's power is retained throughout the entirety of the jutsu. All of a single doton jutsu retains the strength of the jutsu, even after the jutsu has been destroyed, and unlike other jutsu, doton does not fade when destroyed. This means that if a doton barrier with 25 strength is cut in half and falls to the ground, a part of that barrier could be picked up and carried as a hand held shield which would still have 25 strength, despite being a fractured part of a jutsu. This creates incredibly potent defenses, making doton a popular affinity among defensive fighters.
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.
Katon:
Katon Affinity
A character with this concentration is able to utilize Katon, and can make and use any custom or archived jutsu that require the Katon affinity. Katon has a passive ignition effect.
Passive (Ignition)Show
Katon's effect is ignition, which means that all katon jutsu, regardless of effect, start and spread fire from their source. Once a jutsu has been performed, the fire from the jutsu spreads at 1/3rd the speed of the technique, rounded down. That means a C-rank katon jutsu that moves at 13 speed would create subsequent fires that spread at 4 speed. These secondary fires require flammable material to continuously spread, otherwise they will burn out on their own.

Additionally, the strength of burns on organic material from katon jutsu is determined by the strength stat of the individual jutsu.
  • 1-14 Strength Requirement: First Degree Burns
  • 15-24 Strength Requirement: Second Degree Burns
  • 25-34 Strength Requirement: Third Degree Burns
  • 35+ Strength Requirement: Fourth Degree Burns
Iijutsu:
Iijutsu
This concentration allows for the user to user chakra to affect the biological processes of a living creature. This includes modifying, speeding up, or slowing down the biological processes. Iijutsu is known for it's advanced nature and requires precise chakra control to work effectively. It can be differentiate from normal techniques by the faint light green colour of the chakra used in Iijutsu techniques.

Inner Flame
D-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Through practice of the special breathing techniques of Pranayama along with mental visualization, the young monk has learned to elevate his body temperature by about 20 degrees even in cold environments (40°F/4°C). This is most often used during training discipline when the young monk is required to dry cold wet towels with body heat alone.

~Meditative State of Mind
D-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
The novice has trained themselves to empty their mind through peaceful relaxation, and in the process open their mind. Due to their relaxed mental state, the user is free from distractions of trigger emotions or irrelevant details, instead allowing their mind to ponder their environment, picking up on any clues or oddities around them.

~The Nail that Sticks Out
D-Rank Taijutsu Stance
The novice has a remarkably firm stance and control over their body, allowing them to resist force with tenacity. While still relative to their strength, this allows the novice to hold their own against opposing forces even if they are a little weaker than that force, be it gusts of wind meant to knock them over or a tackle from a larger opponent. The user becomes iron- a nail that sticks out that only extremely direct force can push down. When paired with Meditative State of Mind the user can do this even more effectively, focusing their being into their stance. This technique is ineffective for a Strength difference of ≥5 in the attackers favor.
C-RankShow
~Without Fear
C-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Requirement: 15 Willpower
The novice has trained themselves to ignore emotions and to lock onto their goal at hand, ignoring even pain. They may fight without distraction, take hits without wavering, and keep going forward on their path. Those who have practiced this level of self-thought control are said to fight without fear, even of death, monks of past having been said to march forward with blades still in their body and blood gushing forth from their mouth. Legends aside, while this does well against most damage, things like dismemberment will prove more difficult to ignore relative to the fortitude of the user.

~Iron Fist
C-Rank Taijutsu Stance
Requirements:Without Fear
A mixture of mind and body, the user focuses their body into a rigid stance similar with feet wide, somewhat crouching. By breathing along side their strikes, they create rhythm in their body and increase their own durability. By putting aside their fear or even pain, the user is able to punch with all the possible force of their body, using the absolute full potential of their strength without fear of injuring self. Essentially, this allows the users body to become like iron, delivering very hard painful strikes while increasing their own durability.

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.

Not a clan. Its a house/Family that will take in people not born a member the Family itself. Also doesnt say they have to change last names and as my characters primary drive is revenge for his biological family I feel itd be strange if he gave up his last name. If anything I figured hed introduce himself as Sōryo Shizuka of the Shinkizou Family. If a change is absolutely Mandatory I will but I would prefer not to

I feel like he should have the clan's name, though that doesn't necessarily mean he has to use it so functionally you could list his old name as a nickname and say somewhere that that's what he goes by.

What if I actually listed his name as Sōryo Shizuka of the Shinkizou? Or is that too long?

This shouldn't really be a issue at all. In Kiri the "Big 5" have people that are not part of their family but are still considered their property. This is literally the same thing.

Screams of the Damned
D-Rank Genjutsu
After chanting a small prayer and performing the required seals, Shizuka will reach up and grab his prayer with one hand and move the other as if to ward off evil spirits. Should the target hear his prayer they'll suddenly begin hearing screams and wailing coming from beneath them as if from the souls of the damned. The noise subsides after three post.

"grab his prayer"?

Katon • Blooming Lotus
C-Rank Ninjutsu
After performing the required hand seals, the user will create 10 ball like orbs of flame the size of a budding lotus flower. The orbs will shoot forward one by one towards the target with a strength and speed of [Control]. Upon impact the orbs will burst in an appearance reminiscent of a blooming lotus flower. Each orb covers a 1m by 1m by 1m space upon blooming.

Unless I'm misunderstanding, this explodes, yes? The Explosion + Multiple projectiles means probably B-rank.

Suiton • Gentle Peace of the Buddha
C-Rank Ninjutsu
Created to safely incapacitate opponents, after performing the correct hand seals, Shizuka will launch an orb of water 3 meters in diameter at the target. On impact, instead of bursting or hitting with force, the orb will engulf them gently. Once the target is inside, Shizuka must hold the last seal and cannot use any other techniques, capable of holding this for up to five posts. In order to escape, the target must have at least [Control] strength to physically make their way out, or the user must be disrupted. Most shinobi would pass out after two posts due to a lack of oxygen. However, if a target possesses an Endurance stat higher than 10, it would require three posts for them to pass out. Should the target possess an Endurance stat above 20, it would require five posts for them to pass out, but anything higher than 30 would allow them to resist passing out altogether.

I believe the standard for holding your breath previously was posts = to 1/2 your stamina, so I imagine this would be extended to 1/2 to Endurance, but I'll check with staff on it.

First one was a typo. It was supposed to be prayer beads fixed.

Blooming lotus does not explode, there's no explosive force in the jutsu. When I say burst its like a water balloon hitting something. The contents go out, no boom.

Peace of the buddha was modified from an archived suiton tech. I didn't touch the stat checks and should be the same as archives still.
