Okubo, Kotetsu


General Information Age: 15
Gender: Male
Height: 5'4"
Weight: 137 Lbs
Physical Features:
  • Face/head: Kotetu's hair a brown mop of hair that can easily reach to his ears when slick with sweat from the forge while his eyes are a deep amber.
  • Body: Kotetsu spends the majority of his day in his amateur forge or in the forges of other blacksmiths in the village in an attempt to better himself. Due to his, the boy is taught with thick muscles covering his back, chest, and arms. His legs are thick and built like tree trunks from carrying materials to and from the forge. Small scars pepper his forearms and hands as reminders of his demanding work. After a mission gone wrong, Kotetsu unfortunately lost his right arm. It was replaced with a frame that connected to his chakra and nervous systems and allowed him to continue his career as a shinobi. Named Vulcan after a foreign deity, the frame looks like a normal metal arm although it hides weapons within it.
Clothing/Accessories: Kotetsu's entire ensemble contains the color brown. His tunic is brown and so are his pants and blacksmith apron. When it comes to battle or hunting down materials, he dons a set of leather armor consisting of a pauldron, greaves, and vambraces that offer minimal protection.
Personality: Kotetsu is much of a blank set as a teenager coming into his own. He tries his best to fit in with whoever he is speaking with and will adapt their mannerisms they longer they speak or work together. Because of this, he often overthinks about the situation at hand and can get himself into a misunderstanding or two.

ShindenShow
Shinden:
Emerging from the depths of the Marsh Country, Shinden is a style of Kenjutsu that focuses on one thing and one thing alone: overwhelming strength. While not completely forsaking flexibility, Shinden techniques are traditionally structured around downward slashes. Using a combination of their strength, gravity, inertia, centrifugal force, and technique, the practitioner brings unsurpassed might and death upon the heads of their opponents. Due to this quirk unique to Shinden, while sufficiently performed with a katana, users of this style typically prefer hafted weapons or heavier blades such as Nodachi, Odachi, and even Zanbatou. These large weapons further enhance the natural strengths the style's core mechanics provide, forgoing defense for brute strength and overwhelming power.

Requires: [Rigid Structure] Concentration; one of [Sword Weapons], [Polearm Weapons], or [Hafted Weapons] Concentration.

History
Historical AccountsShow

Kotetsu and his parents lived in the countryside of Earth Country before the outbreak of the Great War in a mountain village undisturbed by bandits and shinobi. His father was the local blacksmith, teaching him everything from how to shoe a horse to forge a sword, while his mother assisted in the bakery. After the fighting has spilled over into Earth Country, his parents made the decision to move the family into the village proper. During the trek through the mountains, however, Kotetsu's mother frozen to death and not soon after his father was slain by a wild animal.

He gathered up the remaining tools of his father and continued to Iwagakure where he was welcomed as a war refugee. Seeing his prowess for blacksmithing, the village sponsored and set him up with an apartment and schooling in the academy. The accelerated war-time classes rushed Kotetsu through and he was added to the workforce to make supplies for troops until the war ended. Now, Kotetsu is left trying to make his own way in the world.
