Nara Shikado


"Trust me, I got it"

General Information Age: 16
Gender: Male
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 158 lbs.
Picture:
On-Duty, Off-DutyShow
Appearance: Shikado is a fair skinned young man with narrow, dark brown eyes. His hair is blonde, and shoulder-length. His body is athletic in build as well as lean, with his muscles apparent but not overly defined.

His off-duty outfit consists of a mesh-armor shirt with dark green lining, gray pants, and black shinobi boots. When on-duty, he dons a black long coat with a white collar. Usually, the arms of the coat are folded up his fore-arms, while on his left wrist he wears a black bracelet. On his left upper arm, he has his forehead protector sewn into the coat, while on his right leg, he wears a pouch over a bandage wrap. On the back of his jacket is his clan's symbol, colored a dark green.

Personality:
  • General: Shikado is a diligent and earnest shinobi, taking any assignment or duty given to him with the utmost seriousness. Observant, he has an eye for detail, and is capable of noticing the differences in a persons speech or body language, allowing him to always know the mood of the room. When alone with his friend, he allows himself to ease up, speaking frankly and honestly. To others, he maintains a healthy distance, not overtly being standoffish but making no attempts to before close either.

    This behavior is a near 180 from his personality a child, as beforehand he was a lackadaisical shinobi, whose frequent jokes and positive outlook attracted others toward him. After the incident that resulted in both the loss of his sensei and one of his teammates, Shikado struggled internally, framing himself as a coward for running and not doing more. This eventually caused him to take a more active role in his duties as a ninja, working to ensure if something like that ever happened again, he'd at least be ready. As a side effect, this personality shift has also left him partially closed from the rest of his peers, save Saku.
  • Hopes/Dreams: At his core, Shikado's inner most hope is to avenge friend and teacher. This goal is so rooted in his subconscious that he barely even registers it as an actual goal that he works towards. Outwardly, he simply hopes to become a protector of the village and those within it.
  • Fears: Once again, a subconscious root in his mind, Shikado has a crippling fear of Nehan, to,the point of breaking into a cold sweat whenever he remembers the incident. He also fears losing Sako in a similar fashion, not knowing if he'd still be able to keep his sanity if such a thing were to occur.
  • Combat Mentality: Shikado is a ranged tactician, participating in combat from a distant while actively gathering information as it shifts and changes. To this extent, he relies heavily on his clan's shadow techniques in order to play a leading role in how any conflict turns out. As a scout, he rarely fires the first shot, instead waiting till all other options have been exhausted been outright engaging.

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.
Passive (Cutting)Show
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.
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 (Igition)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 ninjutsu stat requirement.
  • 1-10 Ninjutsu Requirement : 1st Degree Burns
  • 11-20 Ninjutsu Requirement: Second Degree Burns
  • 21-35 Ninjutsu Requirement: Third Degree Burns
  • 36+ Ninjutsu Requirement: Fourth Degree Burns
Shadow ManipulationShow
Shadow Manipulation
Less of an element and more like a specialty, the members of the Nara Clan are able to manipulate both their own shadows and shadows in the surrounding area. This chakra allows them to use various techniques that allow them to create effective traps to use against an opponent as long as there is enough light in the area to create the shadows needed to do so. If there is absolutely no light present in the area of the Nara member, they are unable to use their shadow techniques. Requires an above average Instinct and Control for the character's rank. The range at a clan member can manipulate shadows is dependent on their control stat:
  • 6: Can control their own shadow.
  • 12: Can manipulate shadows in a 1 meter area.
  • 18: 5 meter area.
  • 24: 10 meter area.
  • 30: 15 meter area.
  • 36: 20 meter area.
  • 42: 25 meter area.
  • 48: 30 meter area.

Jutsu
NinjutsuShow
FuutonShow
*Fuuton • Vortex Screw
D-Ranked Fuuton Jutsu
After doing the needed hand seals, the user creates a small vortex of Fuuton chakra around a projectile in their hand that spins with a strength of 5. This causes the projectile to corkscrew through the air, allowing it to travel an extra 10m and applying the Fuuton passive when thrown. This doesn't make the projectile any faster, only increases its range and ability to cut.

*Fuuton • Wind Skating
D-Ranked Fuuton Jutsu
After performing the needed hand seals, the user is able to glide on air as if they were skating on ice. This allows them to move faster (+3 speed) but lowers their accuracy and agility (-3 Taijutsu). This doesn't allow them to fly, but rather to travel over things like land, water, and ice with greater ease. The user is only held several inches off of the ground. This Jutsu does not expire until the user’s chakra supply runs out or the user shuts it off. The fuuton passive is not applied in this technique.

*Fuuton • Redirection
D-Ranked Fuuton Jutsu
After performing the needed hand seals, the user covers a projectile they are holding in fuuton empowered wind. Then, when the weapon has been thrown as normal, the user is able to change it's direction by up to 90 degrees once with no drop in momentum on the projectiles part. This technique only lasts one post.

*Fuuton • Gale Blade
C-Ranked Fuuton Jutsu
After forming the necessary hand seals, the user coats their weapon in a vortex of wind. This extends the weapon's range by 1m while not adding anything to its weight for 5 posts.

D-Rank Ninjutsu
After performing the correct hand seals the user will exhale a small jet of flame directly in front of them. The ball lights up the surrounding area in a 5 meter radius and has a durability of 5. Unless destroyed, it will stay locked in it's location for 5 posts before fading.

*Katon • Heated Blade

*Katon • Bomb Creation
C-Rank Ninjutsu
By channeling katon chakra into any item, the user will turn it into a ticking time bomb. Either when 3 posts are up or when activated through the use of Chakra Kai, the object will explode, releasing all the katon chakra in it in a C-Rank explosion and scattering flames in the immediate area.

After forming the needed hand seals, Shikado coats his body in overlying shadows, forming a barrier that suppresses his chakra signature from sensory techniques. While the jutsu is active, he must remain still, and be unable to use any other jutsu. Only techniques of a greater rank may detect him. The jutsu lasts as long as he has the chakra to maintain it.

*Shadow • Shadow Imitation
C-Rank Ninjutsu
After forming the needed hand seals and flooding a shadow with chakra, the user will send their shadow out across a surface toward a target, aiming to connect it to the opponent's shadow. If contact is made, the user and the opponent will be linked together in movement, so that everything the user does is mimicked by the opponent.

History
Historical AccountsShow
Born to Konoha's Nara clan, Shikado was an sociable and outgoing child. Both parents being respected Jounin in the village, Shikado would find many expectations set upon him from an early age. As soon as he could do so, his father would begin training him in the concepts of chakra, shinobi, and instruct him in the use of their clan's hidden techniques. With his mother he'd spend much time hunting deer and other creatures in the clan's forests, learning how to track and stalk until the skills became second nature.

At the age of 9, he was sent to attend the Academy, where he learned learned what it meant to embody the Will of Fire. His home schooling beforehand served him well, allowing him to essentially skirt through his lessons without much effort on his part, causing him to develop a easygoing and relaxed demeanor. During his years in the Academy, he became good friends with two other children in particular; Hyuuga Saku and Senju Dia. The three of them would become as thick as thieves, and, maybe as a result of their bond, would form a three-man cell upon their graduation at 12.

Under the guidance of their sensei, Aburame Yamo, the three freshly promoted Genin would be trained as a specialized unit, focused on reconnaissance, scouting, and tracking. Their missions mainly consisting of D-Rank and several C-Rank assignments, the speed of their development as shinobi had them on track to becoming Chuunin within a year's time. Shikado often looks toward this point and time as the happiest he'd been. But those days would soon come to an end.

En route to towards a C-Rank mission's location, their group was seemingly randomly assaulted by the S-Rank Missing Nin, Kijo Nehan. Dia would be the first to fall to her, cut down by her scythe before any of them fully understood what was happening. Struck by fear, Shikado would be unable to anything in the face of such enemy. It'd take him being forcibly thrown away by his sensei and being told to run for him to escape, alongside Saku.

Though they eventually made it to the safety of an outpost, the events that took place would traumatize the young shinobi, causing him to be put on leave until further notice. During this nearly year long break, he'd undergo a fundamental shift in personality, his old carefree, amiable character being replaced by a stern and professional one. Upon his return to active duty, he'd perform a number of mission in order to make up for loss time, eventually resulting in his promotion to Chuunin at 14.

As a Chuunin, he'd often times act as a lone scout in C-Rank assignments, and in the rare B-Rank, as overwatch for his teammates. Recently, he and Saku have again been put together as a specialized team, alongside Awai Fanho.
