Physical Features: As Hiroshi moves with purpose, there's an air of quiet confidence around him—a fusion of the determined ninja and the artistic soul. His gaze is forward, his movements deliberate, embodying the synthesis of strength, intellect, and artistry that defines him. Hiroshi is a figure of quiet strength and refined elegance. With dutiful poise his masculine presence commands attention in any room. Standing at an average height, his lean yet well-muscled frame reflects a balance between the physical demands of ninja training and the meticulous nature of his artisan craft. Hiroshi has light colored skin with no tattoos. His onyx-black hair, often loosely hanging along his face frames a stern mug adorned with sharp features. Hiroshi's obsidian eyes are windows to a depth of wisdom, their intensity softened by the occasional shimmer of creative passion. From his face a scruffy, black beard grows, a testament to the time spent engrossed in his scholarly studies and artisanal endeavors.

Hiroshi's attire is a harmonious blend of functionality and artistry. Clad in a tailored blend of traditional ninja garb and artisan's attire, he wears a deep indigo robe with intricate embroidery that suggests wealth. A leather sash, adorned with shuriken and paper sealing tags, wraps around his waist carrying the weight of both utility and class. His hands, calloused from countless hours of craftsmanship, carry the indelible mark of an artisan. Each finger seems to possess an intuitive understanding of the tools it wields, whether crafting delicate mechanisms or executing precise hand seals. On Hiroshi's back he carries a hollowed out gourd that holds half his weight in sand. He is incredibly fit from carrying around all this sand.

Personality: Hiroshi Takumi is a man of unwavering determination, artistic brilliance, tactical genius and resolute spiritual faith. As a religious artisan who designs ornate puppets, his hands create weapons that transcend the boundaries of mere craftsmanship, embodying his passion for innovation and preserving his faith as an instrument of life and death. A scholar at heart, his mind is a repository of knowledge, always hungry for the secrets of the world and the mysteries of jutsu. Hiroshi stands as a paragon of resilience in Sunagakure; his determination is an unyielding force, driving him to hone his skills both as a craftsman and a puppeteer.

Hiroshi is a law abiding, God fearing vegetarian who follows strictly to Yuumagure as a religion. His particular sect believes that the Chosen Disciple of the Sun has yet to come. They believe that a new era will bring in someone with the power of the Suns purity to change the world. With such a spiritual belief Hiroshi is a skeptic towards the normal society of Sunagakure and looks at life with a dedicated scientific analysis expecting to uncover reasoning that allows him to see the world from a new light. He is undoubtedly focused on perfecting his craft and Hiroshi uses science to do so while resting his faith on the laurels of the Sun's Light and fighting for solidarity. Hiroshi considers his work as a ninja to be as important as his faith in the Sun. When it comes to his creations, they are not just tools; they are extensions of his identity, each telling a silent tale of his journey and a sacred discourse on the workings of Hiroshi's heart.

In the face of adversity, Hiroshi's resolve is unshaken. His eyes, sharp with determination, gaze toward the horizon searching for a better way to solve his problems. Despite being incredibly gifted with his hands and possessing a sharp intellect Hiroshi is prone to self doubt and often lacks confidence in himself. When he feels like one of his puppets won't work right, or his poisons won't be effective, Hiroshi is wracked with invasive thoughts telling him he isn't good enough. He likes to be uplifted by others around him, and when he is he proves to be a happy, charismatic and confident.

Abilities and Concentrations

Abilities
First Ability	Hiroshi was born with a genetic mutation that alters the way his body absorbs light through his skin. Naturally his body mixes the vibrant energy of light with chakra to create a potent vital energy that boosts his physical body and grants him an advanced healing factor. It only takes a small amount of light from any source to fuel Hiroshi's healing factor, even moonlight or artificial light. If he were to be without any light whatsoever for more than three days his healing factor will cease to exist until he enters light again. Due to the constant strain of chakra being molded to maintain this healing energy in his body Hiroshi suffers -5 to his Chakra Pool.
Second Ability
Third Ability

Concentrations
Ninjutsu	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 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, Katon jutsu have a Burning effect, and burn anyone they come in contact with with [Control] strength. 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. 1-10 Strength Requirement: Localised numbness and muscle spasms for 1 post 11-20 Strength Requirement: Diffuse numbness and spasms for 1 post 21-30 Strength Requirement: Localised paralysis for 1 post 31-39 Strength Requirement: Diffuse paralysis for 1 post 40+ Strength Requirement: Diffuse paralysis for 2 posts Sand Style A character with this concentration is able to utilize Sand, an extension composed of Fuuton and Doton, and can make and use any custom or archived jutsu that require Sand. Sand style has a grinding effect. You must be a current or former Sunagakure shinobi, and have both Fuuton and Doton to utilize this concentration. Passive (Grinding)Show Sand, however, is rough, and grinds in it's movement, eroding and tearing at anything it comes in contact with. This makes Sand an aggressive element that adds to it's strength when coming in contact with solid matter by breaking it down and adding it to it's mass. When Sand breaks through anything it is strong against, it adds 1/5th of the strength of that thing to it's own strength. A 30 strength Sand Wave breaking through a 10 strength Doton wall would add 2 strength to itself, having 32 strength. Against organic matter, Sand grinds against skin and wounds, catching microtears that can become irritating and worsen existing wounds. Below is a list for how Sand interacts with solid matter 1-14 Strength Requirement: Minor scrapes and cuts, minor bleeding. 15-24 Strength Requirement: Scrapes, removal of skin, moderate bleeding. 25-34 Strength Requirement: Removal of upper muscle, heavy bleeding. 35+ Strength Requirement: Grinding of flesh, removal of deep tissue, profuse bleeding. Kuuton Affinity A character with this concentration is able to utilize Kuuton, and advanced form of Fuuton, and can make and use any custom or archived jutsu that require the Kuuton affinity. Kuuton has a gravitational effect. These gravitational pockets can reach through barriers, walls, and function like a real source of gravity. Passive (Pressure)Show Kuuton users chakra to create pockets of gravity in a specific direction. Through the use of these technique Kuuton users can launch objects away from them, pull things in to a specific place, or crush things down into the ground. Kuuton jutsu operate off a focal point, and always move towards or away from that focal point. This means that all Kuuton jutsu cover some sort of area, and only effect what is within that area. They can not be used on a micro scale. Sensor Sensors are shinobi who are able to activate a sixth sense which can locate and read chakra sources. Sensory is advantageous as it allows shinobi to perceive without using any of their conventional senses, which can easily be deceived. Sensors are able to collect a lot of information through the interpretation of this sixth sense. Kugutsu [Puppetry] 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. Iijutsu This concentration allows for the user to user chakra to modify, speed up, or slow down the biological processes of a living creature. 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 color of the chakra used in Iijutsu techniques. Storage & Force Fuuinjutsu This user is able to utilize Storage Fuuinjutsu and Force Fuuinjutsu, making it possible for them to utilize any jutsu with the Storage or Force Classification. Storage Fuuinjutsu can be used to store supplies, weapons, armor, or anything in between. Force Fuuinjutsu are used to release, counteract, and capture energy. Charge& Augment Fuuinjutsu This user is able to utilize Charge & Augment Fuuinjutsu, making it possible for them to utilize any jutsu with the Charge & Augment Classification. Charge Fuuinjutsu are used to create jutsu-like effects using seals. Augment Fuuinjutsu are used to enhance or limit the power of whatever they are placed on. Ranged Fuuinjutsu 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. This user has superb chakra control, and has learned to perform jutsu by channeling, without the use of hand seals. The user can channel any Ninjutsu that is designed to be channeled, and there are no specified parameters in which a jutsu must fall to be channeled by this method.
Taijutsu	With large amounts of experience in the forge and with creation, individuals with this concentration are able to craft and create most types of weapons and armor. While this typically doesn’t grant the individual himself any additional powers, it allows him to make more powerful tempered gear for himself and shinobi than what can typically be found. 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. Requires [Deft Hands] Concentration The fundamental skill of [Close Quarters Combat] indicates the user's proficiently to efficiently utilize martial arts and advanced combat moves involving the body for example but not limited to, adv kicks, grapples, adv punches, etc. 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.

History

Historical AccountsShow

It was a bright, sunny day in Sunagakure when Hiroshi Takumi was born. His mother and father were both ninjas for the village and loving planned out their child's birth together. They were devout followers of Yuumagure and their church had confirmed that Hiroshi would certainly be blessed by the sun. The two passionately commenced with love making and soon were with a child. Hiroshi was born with lots of black hair and when the doctor spanked him he only let out a squeek. He simply was not the type of baby to cry. Hiroshi's mother happily held him in her arms on that blazing hot day, her dreams had come true.

Growing up Hiroshi proved to be an exceptionally smart child. The boy learned his name just weeks after being home and it wouldn't take long for him to begin walking and talking. With his two loving parents Hiroshi was certainly slated to grow up to be a kind, caring man. Unfortunately for Hiroshi his parents were both ninja, the bulk of a Sunagakure assault team. Dan and Moegi were destined to be called to the front lines of a conflict and as fate would have it they would not return. Both of them were killed by an A-Ranked missing ninja from Suna and Hiroshi was left orphaned at the age of four.

Fortunately for Hiroshi his parents were exceedingly rich as high profile puppeteers. They had built a business up together during the early years of their 12 year marriage and were very successful in gaining contracts from the village to create puppets for various uses. The two of them left behind a fortune for their son. They also left behind a state of the art puppet forge. The two of them had every tool imaginable and a complete forge in their workshop. Hiroshi was left to be raised by his mother sister and never felt very close to her, being at home with Mira was like being alone and Hiroshi became withdrawn. He withdrew from school. Hiroshi was a very smart young lad who was planning to become a ninja but losing his parents was everything to him.

As he grew up Hiroshi was mostly left to himself. When he was five he stepped into his parents workshop. At first he just wanted to feel close to them. The two had spent so much time in there their spirits were strong around all their tools. As he explored all the benches and puppets his parents were once working on Hiroshi's intrigue was peaked. As the minutes passed to hours Hiroshi found himself tinkering on a puppets arm. His father had left some screws loose, to put it onto the torso, and Hiroshi felt so close to his father putting it together. The boy was happier than he had been in years and he passed out right at the bench. That night was the first night he worked on a puppet and his ventures into the workshop became routine. Hiroshi had found his passion.

With the fun of working on puppets filling his day Hiroshi found himself curious on puppeteering. For a year he had just been putting together the bodies of puppets in his parents workshop, but soon he found himself yearning to control the puppets. He had always been a smart kid with prodigal talent but Kugutsu was a difficult skill to pick up. With fierce determination Hiroshi decided ot get back into school and become a puppeteer. After finishing primary school, easily, Hiroshi enrolled in the Suna academy with the help of his aunt. He had prolific talent with ninjutsu, greater than the typical genius, and thanks to his understanding of the art of puppets Hiroshi quickly picked up on Kugutsu. He graduated with no problem.

For a few years Hiroshi worked in the village as a genin and acquired the necessary skills to be a true ninja. Hiroshi developed patience, courage and stamina greater than he ever imagined he could. Also during this time the teenager began working on his first puppet. The ones he had been using up until that point were various pieces of puppets that he had pieced together from his parent's workshop. As a genin Hiroshi designed and built his first wooden puppet, Kogaku. With his first puppet Hiroshi entered the chuunin exam of Sunagakure and emerged victorious. The many weapons concealed inside of his puppet were infinitely useful in his battles and the young boy was very thankful to be crowned a chuunin.

One day before work Hiroshi was going over the bible his mother had owned before she died. She was incredibly religious and studied the Book of Yuumagure every morning and evening. As the morning light shone in on the small, horizontal window Hiroshi's body began to take in the light and mix it with his chakra creating a vibrant life energy. For the first time Hiroshi felt the rejuvenating effect of this reaction and his mind began to unravel in the book he was reading. Fingers pressed to the page he read the scripture over and over, "In the dance of sunlight, behold the interconnected threads of existence. Each ray is a soul, a unique expression of the Sun's eternal brilliance. As we bask in the radiance, let us recognize that our paths are intertwined, woven together by the cosmic loom of divine purpose."

As he read Hiroshi realized how shallow his life had been. Despite his present faith Hiroshi had never truly given his soul to the Suns embrace and he realized the depths of this fact while reading. In that moment Hiroshi felt the most dark gloom and foreboding he would ever experience, save for near death experiences. Hiroshi almost felt like giving up but in the blackness of his mind he felt a spark of beauty radiating from him. Grabbing onto this luminescence Hiroshi held tight and he seemed to fall into the greatest slumber. He closed his eyes but all he could see was the Sun's blinding light.

When he opened his eyes Hiroshi saw colors unlike he had ever seen. Greens and blues and reds and browns that were so much brighter and vibrant than before. He felt like his soul had been saved. From that day on Hiroshi committed himself to spreading the Suns glory. Of course for Hiroshi it would be difficult. He was in a small sect of Yuumagure that believed the Chosen Disciple of the Sun had yet to come to Earth yet. Hiroshi believed the Kazekage was an important link to the Sun, a priest of godliness certainly, but not a God on Earth.

For the next few years Hiroshi would battle with his desire for evangelism and his unpopular disbelief in the Kazekage, but one day he came upon a realization that would forever change him. Hiroshi realized that if he could prove to people that God was still hidden in the Suns Light he could prove to them that the Kazekage was not the Chosen Disciple. Hiroshi began studying science unlike ever before. He had always taken an interest in mechanics and the conceptualization of using fuuinjutsu with puppets to create machinated effects was no stranger to the puppeteer. But now Hiroshi was looking deeper. He was studying thermodynamics and physics. Hiroshi stepped into the realm of biology and chemistry. The world truly became Hiroshi's oyster and with his breakthroughs in chemistry with man made poisons he excelled to the top of his ranks and became a special jounin.

As a special jounin Hiroshi was fitted with a most important task. He became part of the villages Sensory Network. The Sensory network was dedicated to identifying specific chakra signatures within Sunagakure. Any member of the Sensory Network had memorized hundreds of chakra signatures and with specialized techniques they monitored the people who came in and out of the Hidden Sand Village. Hiroshi was specially suited for this role in the village as he had an incredibly wide field of investigation. Hiroshi could spot chakra signatures out from a very long distance. As a chuunin he was assigned to an assault team that specialized in bodyguard missions. Hiroshi had made a name for himself on this task force and his reputation carried on with him as a special jounin.

For many years Hiroshi worked in the Sensory Network to monitor the village. He had always been pretty familiar with the village but now he really knew every knook and cranny. Hiroshi used this knowledge in a high profile capture of a rogue ninja in the village. Thanks to Hiroshi's exceptional tracking skills the team was able to apprehend the fugitive. After his comrade gave him a long talk about the conviction a ninja must bear Hiroshi felt pretty pumped up and went to his superiors for a recommendation to rank up as a Jounin. Hiroshi was well known in the village. He was a helpful ninja who worked hard for the people, and aside from that he had reopened his parents workshop as a storefront. Before his folks sold puppets to the military but now Hiroshi was working on a much grander scale. Hiroshi had a talent for artistic expressions of weapons. He crafted some of the finest weapons and sold them from his own shop. His auntie had died and with an empty house Hiroshi decided to remodel it as a shop. Hiroshi had made quite a name for himself and after working so hard to capture that soon to be missing ninja he felt like he would be recognized.

As the Sun would have it Hiroshi was allowed to rank up and continue his service to Sunagakure as a jounin. He was very thankful for the life he had. Despite losing his parents Hiroshi had grown to be a fine man with talents and passions. Hiroshi offered something to the village that Sunagakure hadn't seen in a long time. Hiroshi was indispensable as a ninja because he carried the will to change his destiny. Hiroshi always seized the moment. When he found his passion with puppets he looked past his prejudice against ninjas to embrace the very thing that had taken his parents, and he grabbed hold of it and didn't let go. Hiroshi was an incredible man.
