Gender: Male
Height: 5'1"
Weight: 89lbs
Physical Features:

• Face/head: Koga has black spikey hair, red eyes, and has red face paint that goes from the sides of his eyes to the bottom of his chin.
• Body: The boy is muscular for his age and as a whole has a relatively regular 10 year old body. He doesn't have any scars or tattoos to his body yet either.
• Notable Features:The child as a whole is pretty average looking. However, during the academy days he was well known for his unique colored eyes.

Clothing/Accessories: Koga wears A dark gray sleeveless jacket with red around the shoulders. Underneath he wears a white tight shirt. Around his wrists and up his forearms, he wears dark gray wrapping to match his jacket. The boy also wears the same wrap around the knuckles of his palms and hands; which expose his fingers. Koga wears dark gray ninja pants with dark grey ninja shoes. Around his hear, Koga has a white headband with the Kumo logo on the metal forehead protector.
Personality:

• General: Koga, although a child, is rather mature for his age. His maturity stems from idolizing being part of the military. He believes that through his potential, he could run and strengthen the military might of Kumogakure no Sato. So often times he is found obedient, serious, and blunt when talking to others. Often times, he points out the obvious and tries to make others feel uncomfortable.
  
  In most situations he is serious, but at the end of the day he is a child. So he is not opposed to games or sweet treats, he is just a tough nut to crack.
• Hopes/Dreams: To be the Admiral of any branch of the Military.
• Fears: To not live up to his own crazy standard.
• Combat Mentality:Koga is not interested or even talented when it comes to ninjutsu. So he tries to utilize alternative ways of combat. Whether it is utilizing his cursed speech and animal techniques, the boy overwhelms his opponents with a flurry of attacks. If he can limit the amount of ninjutsu that is used against him, he figured that he would be safer that way.

Abilities and Concentrations

Abilities
First Ability	Curse of the Body: Due to a failed sealing of a spirit, Koga was left with a different set of abilities that have changed him forever. The Curse of the Body has altered the genetic makeup of his skin entirely. To the naked eye his skin seems relatively normal. However, the complexity behind the genetic makeup of his skin is vastly different than the normal person. His entire body has the capability of ignoring the effects of other affinities, regardless of their nature. His skin would still get hurt by a ninjutsu, but if it is hit with a passive effect, his skin would simply not be affected by it. For example, if Koga is hit with a Sand attack, his skin would resist the 1/5th strength that is added to the attack. Although, it does mean he would still be struck by the sand at whatever strength it was sent by.
Second Ability	Curse of the Soul: Koga's body has turned into a different version of a vessel. His body can house a total of 8 different capabilities that are found naturally in animals. After consuming the animal alive, Koga can utilize the natural capabilities that animals can perform in nature. Because they are natural, these feats are performed based on Taijutsu Requirements (Endurance, Strength, Speed). When the Animal is claimed through consumption, Koga can not only perform their natural abilities, but he can utilize their physical shapes as well. Animals consumedShow Animal Appendage Natural Ability Octopus Tentacles: 8 Tentacles that extrude from the back. They can be controlled based on the [Speed] and [Strength] Stat and can extend based on the [Endurance] Stat [Extension in Meters = Endurance x 2] . Ink: Ink can be released from Koga's pores. The ink can change form based on if it is mixed with sweat or not. If it extrudes from his pores without sweat, the ink takes on a smoke like appearance and acts a visual obstacle while in the air. If it is mixed with his sweat as it exits his pores, the ink would take on a liquid form.

Taijutsu	Taijutsu ConcentrationsShow 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.

Jutsu

NinjutsuShow

Cursed SpeechShow

This technique is a direct result of the Family's specialty technique utilizing Pranayama.
By focusing chakra to their throat and then releasing it outwards. The user can give the chakra a literal command utilizing speech. Due to the complexities of speech, the techniques can only be one word and only have one task.

Cursed Speech ✪ Loose
D-Rank Pranayama Jutsu
By focusing on the chakra resting within the body and passing it through the through. The user can give a command to the chakra and it would act out towards the target. The chakra will be given a command of "Loose" which is a command said out loud. This commands the chakra to target someone's hand that is holding a weapon. If successful, then the chakra would break the grip of the opponent causing a weapon in their hand to fall to the ground. The strength of this jutsu is dictated by the [Endurance] Stat.

Cursed Speech ✪ Slip
D-Rank Pranayama Jutsu
By focusing on the chakra resting within the body and passing it through the through. The user can give a command to the chakra and it would act out towards the target. The chakra will be given a command of "Slip" which is a command said out loud. This commands the chakra to target someone's feet. If successful, then the chakra would form underneath the opponents feet and when applying pressure to the ground, cause them to slip. The strength of this jutsu is dictated by the [Endurance] Stat.

TaijutsuShow

The Immortal Iron BodyShow

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, Perception

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.

The Eight Gates of HeavenShow

The ultimate and legendary form of bodily control, through controlled breathing and 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

Kaimon - Opening Gate
D-Rank Stance Taijutsu
Focusing their breathing and collecting themselves, the user will unleash a ripple of energy within their body causing them to gain +3 Strength at the cause of their movements causing minor damage and pain, mainly in the form of lactic acid. This is like how you feel after a work out- it is painful to move. Lasts 5 posts.

Kyuumon - Resting Gate
D-Rank Stance Taijutsu
Focusing their breathing and collecting themselves for two posts, during which they cannot use other jutsu, the user will unleash a ripple of energy within their body causing them to gain +3 Endurance for a post and releasing adrenaline and cortisol into their body, reducing pain and removing inflammation in their body.

History

Historical AccountsShow

Koga was born into a family of loving parents. During a vacation, Koga and his parents were attacked. This left both of his parents to be murdered and Koga saved in the nick of time. Left alone in the world at the age of 2, he was placed in a foster home. After two years of living with a foreign family, they decided to adopt him full time.

That family were monks of the Shinkizou House. The boy was raised as a monk and taught their techniques. Other than obviously not looking like the others, Koga's mentality was drastically different than his peers. He was more aggressive and often times couldn't help but involve himself in violence. Due to his early days of fighting others, he eventually got sent to the Ninja Academy within Lightning Country. This wasn't because of his ninja skills, more so to try to control his anger and violent tendencies.

Although the Ninja Academy did help with controlling it, the anger inside this child still festered. It wasn't until near graduation, where Koga's class got visited by a military official. This man was describing what a life could be like within the military. This concept intrigued the boy so much so, that he had made a decision. Koga was going to advance through the ninja ranks so that eventually he could get access to things he normally wouldn't be able to. However, he was also going to join the military. His true calling seemed to be leaning towards what Samurai could do rather than Ninja.

[Trusted Grader]

Your animal ability, does it allow you to switch in and out between different animal forms or is it one per thread? Because it could otherwise read as 8 abilities in one, the rest looks fine though.

[Texas]

They are appendages/organs that have one capability that follows it. I don’t see it any different than a couple clans out there.

[Kabu]

1/2

[Trusted Grader]

They are appendages/organs that have one capability that follows it. I don’t see it any different than a couple clans out there.

I am not removing the 1/2 but genuinely working on my modness. So your ability is always active or is it like, he gains those 8 different appendages and can call on them whenever, like say Melashiin or what it's called? If so then yeah, I agree with you, then it reads like a cool body mod ability thingy
