Senkou Wakaranai, Smoke and Mirrors

Post by Senkou Wakaranai » Sat May 21, 2022 8:22 pm

Senkou Wakaranai
“Smoke and Mirrors”

“Conscious decisions made with intent, leads to achievable results”

General Information Age: 16
Gender: Male
Height: 5’ 10”
Weight: 155 lbs
Physical Features: Brown hair, blue eyes, a permanent five o’clock shadow from ensuing puberty. Depending on the lighting, Senkou either looks his age or twenty. His eyes have a permanent tired look to them from constant reading into the night and early morning. His hair buzzed short for minimal fuss and efficient shower time. His height and weight are average, physically the only thing that is particularly noticeable are his long thin fingers and steel cord like muscles that are usually hidden under his clothing.

For clothing, Senkou wears a grey short sleeve tunic with gray pants that stop at his ankles. His hands and feet are wrapped in bandages. He sports a pair of sunglasses and a blank white mask. Over all of this is a white hooded cloak with long wide sleeves and a lot of pockets and straps for his equipment.

Personality: There’s something to be said about a kid who spends his time pouring over books about any subject imaginable. Words like nerd, weird, freak have all been bandied about in respect to Senkou when he left his home among the countryside and was sent to Kirigakure for training to become a shinobi. Senkou would use prepared to describe himself, though he does admit he is quite a nerd at the same time. A side effect of his passion for knowledge.

To cope with this teasing from his peers in Kirigakure, Senkou would find himself frequently inside a tea shop with a nice cup of jasmine tea and a treatise on the applications of certain chemicals in warfare that was recently sent to him by his elders back home. This of course did nothing to dissuade the previous notions. If tea wasn’t enough, ramen would have to be the ultimate comfort food for him, though the broth here in Kirigakure just lacked the clarity of flavor that could only be created by the purity of the mountain streams that fed the well system of his home.

One could conclude from these statements that Senkou was homesick, that is not the case, he simply has the view that his clan, through their continued pursuit of progress, have achieved a superiority in such matters. This pride has its roots in his own obsessive pursuit of progress as a shinobi and an individual. Senkou does not accept finality in failing for himself or anyone else. There was always something that could be done. This attitude towards life certainly has its negatives as it tends to isolate Senkou as others find it abrasive and disconcerting to be faced with their own failures from someone that they barely know.

To finish, Senkou sees challenges the same way a dog sees a rabbit. Immediate, relentless pursuit till overcome and then left with the satisfaction of a job well done till the next rabbit darts from the underbrush and the cycle continues.

By taking this concentration this user is able to use a medium to draw fuuinjutsu from long ranges, allowing them to place fuuinjutsu without being directly in contact with the surface they'd like to place the fuuinjutsu on.
Puppetry:
[Puppetry] is an old, tradition-bound style with some variation found within each Hidden Village. Most users focus primarily on the use of puppets, wooden, or partially wooden contraptions. Puppeteers as they are called, rely on high control. For Senkou, who doesn't know exactly how he wants to control his puppets, this is very much a work in progress for the young genin.

Taijutsu
Deft Hands:
The fundamental skill of [Deft Hands] indicates the user’s proficiency with using their hands in very specific and complex movements, like sleight of hand and targeting very small and specific points on an opponent’s body. This facilitates their use of related Taijutsu in various ways.

However, those with such familiarity with weapons and armor are often skilled at noticing the strengths and weaknesses of weapons they face, and allow them to more easily exploit them. This concentration also encompasses the crafting of other types of weapons and items such as poisons or advanced recovery concoctions for use on and off the battlefield.

Jutsu
NinjutsuShow
*[Basic Jutsu • Clone Technique]
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
After completing a set of handseals, the user forms a slight chakra 'body', thus creating a single, massless clone. The clone created from this technique is very basic and will dissipate when hit with anything. These clones do not possess vital signs or a unique chakra signature, meaning they don't disrupt the environment, and anything on their person is superficial. The clone has 1 in each stat. They are limited to basic movements.

*[Basic Jutsu • Transformation Technique]
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
After completing the needed handseals, the user of this technique will be able to alter their physical appearance to match that of another person. By consistently emitting chakra throughout their body, the user is able to keep their appearance adjusted at the cost of their Chakra Pool draining over time. As this technique is quite strenuous to uphold, experienced shinobi may see more clearly through this delusive disguise. This technique lasts for a number of posts equal to that of the user's (Chakra Pool/2).

*[Basic Jutsu • Chakra Kai]
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
A jutsu used with the purpose of activating seals and a range of devices and weapons, this technique begins with a single handseal. Once this has been performed, the user will focus a dollop of their chakra into what they are looking to activate in order to complete the task. Seals activated with this technique must be within 10 meters of the user's position.

*[Basic Jutsu • Act of Tree Climbing]
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
By focusing chakra into his/her feet, the user is able to walk up trees and other vertical surfaces in a similar fashion to walking along the ground. This chakra amount must be precise, and although all shinobi learn this technique, the user's control stat will determine how well this jutsu can be executed. Users with low control 2 or lower will often fall during the use of this technique, while users with average control 3 or higher will be able to use this technique functionally. It lasts for a number of posts equal to the user's Chakra Pool.

*[Basic Jutsu • Act of Water Surface Walking]
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
A variation of the Act of Tree Climbing technique, this jutsu requires the user to focus a precise and balanced amount of charka into the soles of his/her feet. By doing so, the user is able to walk on the surface of water as though it were a solid surface. Users with low control 2 or lower are much more likely to fall through the surface of the water, while users with average control 3 or higher will be able to use this technique functionally. It lasts for a number of posts equal to the user's Chakra Pool.

*[Basic Jutsu • Kai Release]
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
A rather simple technique that allows the user to escape from a genjutsu. The user will form a single ram seal and focus to reset their chakra system to purge themselves of foreign chakra. The stat requirements for this technique can be found in the genjutsu rules.

*[Basic Jutsu • Change of Body Stance Technique]
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
After completing the necessary handseals, the user is able to quickly substitute his/her body with a nearby object that is at least 2/3rds his/her size, but no bigger than their body. This substitution allows the object to take the force of the attack that was meant for the user, additionally allowing the user to create distance between him/her and the opponent. The object used in this jutsu may not be objects that are imbued with chakra or controlled by it, and they may also only be single, solid objects within a 10 meter radius of the user. This technique may only be used a total of one time in a single thread, give or take how many times Shunshin no Jutsu has already been used.

History
Historical AccountsShow
Born to an engineer father and a chemist mother in a small mining village in the mountains, Senkou grew up in the sounds and smells of industry. Training in these intellectual disciplines started immediately as his mother would read about her latest work to him to put him to sleep up to the age of 5. His father would bring him to work and would point out all the projects he was working on what they did or could possibly do, this particular activity didn’t stop till he left for Kirigakure and to be honest it didn’t really stop there either as the mail Senkou would receive would often have letters from his father about his work.

As soons as he was able to walk, physical fitness took over as his small village mandated that intellectual growth should mirror physical growth. Complicated obstacle courses to train the mind and body were a daily part of life as a form of amusement. This rigorous standard produced a very healthy and intelligent populace, though the lack of real leisure would make this way of life seem draconian to outsiders.

Every child from the village that was going to the academy in Kirigakure would create personalized weapons as a rite of passage. When Senkou reached that age, he created for himself a series of weapons revolving around the application of sound, sight, and smell. He had developed his own treatise on warfare and was determined to prove its effectiveness in the world at large. His upbringing enabled his success in the academy and now as a newly fledged genin, his development as a shinobi was only in its infancy.

Senkou Wakaranai, Smoke and Mirrors

Post by Valkier » Sun May 22, 2022 6:09 am

Welcome to NSRP!
Overall this looks really, really good. It's a solid character with little that needs comment - the only minor issue I see is the Kugutsu puppetry concentration, which you wouldn't be able to take as it's locked to Sunagakure village (or Sunagakure missing) ninja. Puppetry itself is not locked to Suna, but this particular archived method (the "chakra strings" that we see in canon Naruto) is -- so you'll either need to remove it for now, or swap it for a custom version which works differently. You just need a different "medium" through which to control puppets is all.

My only other comments -- and these aren't required changes, just general recommendations that you're free to ignore if you wish -- are that it's generally a good idea to only take the concentrations you actually need at the moment (which since you don't have any jutsu at the moment, are none) and add the rest as&when they become relevant later. There's no cost to adding them later, but concentrations are typically permanent unless you pay valuable ryo to remove them. So picking everything at this stage locks you into a very specific build and removes your ability to change things as your character grows and develops.
The only other thing I notice is that you don't need to list the 'basic jutsu' you have on your sheet; because you're a village ninja, it's assumed that you know these by default thanks to your academy education. But again, it's fine to show them here if you decide you want them listed.

Edit: It looks like you're missing a [/quote] tag at the end of your Kugutsu concentration code, which is unintentionally nesting the rest of your concs as well. To fix it add the missing tag here:
Quote:
[quote=Kugutsu][b]Kugutsu[/b]
[b][Puppetry][/b] is an old, tradition-bound style with some variation found within each Hidden Village. Chakra Strings are the progenitor style of Puppetry and is limited to Sunagakure ninjutsu only, due to the secret techniques. Chakra String users learns to utilize the tenketsu on their fingers to create strings of chakra, which can be used to control a multitude of things. Most users focus primarily on the use of puppets, wooden, or partially wooden contraptions. Puppeteers as they are called, rely on high control.[/quote]

Edited the puppetry concentration for the moment. I'm someone who takes a very long time to decide to make a character, due to planning out exactly how they are going to function. Call it a character flaw. ^_^

Looks like you have used 48/50 of your start up Ryo. Did you want to use the other two for anything?

How were you planning to control the puppets?

Just double checking, you're good with all those concentrations?

Everything else looks good.

There's 2 ryo spent on extra wire, I have an idea or two but I'll have it looked at piece meal when I make the jutsu, just fleshing out the concept myself at the moment. Yep, I've pretty much planned out the entire character around those set of concentrations
