Arashiyama Toushi

[Kumo's Storm Beast]

[Weapons are made for killing the enemy, do not confuse things...]

General Information Age: 33
Gender: Male
Height: 6'
Weight: 220 lbs
Physical Features:
  • Face/head: Toushi has shoulder length, straight white hair that is slicked back with some form of product to keep it out of his face. A set of light brown eyes with sharp eye brows rest just over his average sized and shaped nose. A thin set of lips can be found under the nose and above a pointed chin. A chin strap style white beard can be found on the man's face, seeming to lack the ability to grow anything other than this style of beard..
  • Body: The former Kumo nin has a defined body type, demonstrating his desire to look aesthetically pleasing to the eye with naturally dark skin but not appearing bulky. Somewhat lanky limbs give the man a good reach and help serve him well in close range encounters. Aside from his deeply tanned skin the ninja doesn't have any special markings or injuries on his body to speak of.
  • Notable Features: White hair and dark tanned skin
Clothing/Accessories: Wears a sleeveless black button-up cloth shirt with a high collar that has white and red accents on it. A pair of traditional grey cloth pants run down from his waist into wrappings that start just below the knee and end at the ankle. On his feet are a pair of simple looking sandals worn by a normal farmer that are white and brown in color, as well.

Picture: Personality:
  • General: Like most members of the Arashiyama clan, Toushi has inherited a calm and easy-going mannerism in the majority of his actions. Even to the point that in combat he has a gentle smile on his face despite how fiercely he may be fighting. He is an avid reader and thus has a rather good level of intelligence, being able to converse with just about anyone. Never one to feel as though he is to important to take time to speak with someone or view them below himself. Despite having honed his body and mind on the battlefield it will be the last thing he talks about as the man seems content just being an easy-going type of person. Yet, the man harbors a true hatred in his heart for the Nakajima clan/family and their actions in the past which cost him loved ones.

    One of the deciding reasons for him disappearing from the village the man is a bit lost in his mind as to where or what he should be doing with his life at this point after burying family and a lover. Believing that perhaps on his current journey around the countries of the world he can find peace of mind...maybe. Despite his feelings for the ruling family, the man will always come to the aid of his country and its inhabitants, laying down his life in the process if necessary.
  • Hopes/Dreams: His dream is to simply wander around the world and experience it not as a shinobi but a simple swordsman.
  • Fears: The repercussions that will one day come looking for him for his actions of throwing away his relationship with the village..
  • Combat Mentality:He utilizes a style of NinTai with his clan's Ranton style of ninjutsu, making him more suited for fighting multiple opponents and affecting large areas of the battlefield from short to mid-range.

WeaponShow
  • Name: [Breaths of Susanoo]
  • Description: A pair of Urumi sword whips with four flexible blade-like whips attached to a sword hilt with hand guard. The relics have been infused with the core energy of a powerful spirit and passed down Toushi's family for several generations. Made completely of a dark metal with red writing and outline coloring, the Urumi's hilt is only about six inches in length while the whip portions stretch out to two and a half meters in length being only about half a inch in width and about an eight of an inch in thickness.
  • Ability: This weapon has the passive ability to increase the [Control] of any [Ranton] technique used through the weapons by [15].
  • Cost: 65 points. Paid
Companions: (0/1)
Primary Affinity: Ranton
Abilities and Concentrations
Abilities
First Ability
Ranton:
Ranton [Storm Release] is a unique elemental affinity exclusive to the Arashiyama clan. By mixing their natural affinities for Raiton [Lightning Release] and Suiton [Water Release] the clan is able to create a liquid-like plasma called storm.
Passive (Splashing)Show
Ranton has a splashing nature, which causes it to break into ribbons on impact, and distribute over an area. Ranton splashes on impact, and breaks into X number of ribbons with X strength, where X is equal to 1/2 the [Control] of the jutsu (rounded up) and distributes over an area of Y meters, where Y is equal to 1/4th the [Control] of the jutsu (rounded up). These ribbons retain the effect of their original jutsu, so a Ranton jutsu used to pierce would create ribbons that stab and pierce anything they strike, while a Ranton jutsu that is wrap would create ribbons that wrap. Like Raiton, Ranton jutsu are electrical, and cause nerve damage on contact base on the ninjutsu requirement for the jutsu, seen below:
  • 1-14 Control Requirement: Hair stands up.
  • 15-24 [Control] Requirement: Tingling, acute numbness.
  • 25-34 [Control] Requirement: Loss of Sensation.
  • 35+ [Control] Requirement: Localized Paralysis.

Breath Style BasicsShow

Basic Training • Opening Thread
D-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
After years of training and study, the user has learned how to more quickly recognize openings and weaknesses in their opponent's defenses and fighting style. This Discipline represents the user's reduced reaction time required to take advantage of an opening that presents itself in the middle of combat, thus increasing the likelihood they will score a successful hit when targeting the vulnerable area. This does not grant them any protection against falling for feints or traps sent by the opponent.

Basic Training • Pierce the Void
D-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
After years of studying and training, the user has increased their auditory acuity and has learned how to track opponents without using sight, instead of relying on the sense of hearing to locate them. This technique allows them to accurately isolate and track an opponent using only sound so long as they remain within a distance of meters equal to [Taijutsu/4].

Basic Training • Airway Expansion
D-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
After years of training and study, the user has mastered basic breathing techniques to fully oxygenate their bloodstream with minimal effort. This Discipline allows the user's body to reach homeostasis with less energy expended, thus reducing the amount of physical stamina used while attacking and defending in combat, making them able to last longer in a fight. This Discipline also doubles the amount of time the user can spend underwater or holding their breath for any reason before having to surface for air (Endurance x2).

Basic Training • Seamless Skill
D-Ranked Taijutsu Discipline
A skill realized by those on the path to mastery of their particular weapon, users of Seamless Skill are actively able to transition between offensive and defensive usage of the aforementioned weapon. By transitioning so seamlessly, the user is able to save a marginal amount of energy while attacking.

Basic Training • Ambidexterity
D-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
After practicing for a long amount of time with the concept of using both of their hands with equal skill, the user has developed a level of ambidexterity that allows them to utilize both hands equally and as effectively without any penalty. This extends to other methods of combat or simple everyday life as well.


Basic Training • Increased Awareness
C-Ranked Taijutsu Discipline
A discipline involving the mental preparation for the constant movement and striking, allowing the user to gather snippets of vision, sounds and tactile sensory information in order to be properly aware of the battlefield around them whether standing still or in rapid motion. The user is effectively aware of their surroundings within [Instinct/3] meters of their person, able to recognize when/where attacks are coming from.

Basic Training • Penetrating Gaze
C-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
After years of training and study, the user has significantly increased their visual acuity. They can now accurately see out to a number of meters equal to their [Taijutsu/3] in foggy, misty, or cloudy conditions (such as while in the effect of a smoke bomb), at night or other low light vision, or through the natural distortions caused by water. Their normal range of sight is doubled in normal or favorable conditions.

Basic Training • Light Steps
C-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
After years of training and study, the user has learned how to maintain their full speed and move while making minimal contact with the surface upon which they are running, thus reducing the amount of energy required to move at full Speed. This Discipline represents the user's ability to conserve physical stamina with optimized movement of their legs and feet, allowing them to last longer in a fight.


Basic Training • Up Close and Personal
B-rank Taijutsu Discipline
When in an enclosed area many fighters find themselves limited by the space which makes it difficult to use their full force when attacking the opponent(s). With this discipline, the practitioner has gained sufficient experience fighting in close quarter, tight spaces to the point that they are no longer hindered by the enclosed spaces, meaning that the practitioner will be proficient in making quick, deadly strikes without sacrificing any power.

[Martial Analysis]
B-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
With his level of training in the art of perception, the user is able to quickly judge the very particulars of incoming attacks. Efficient defense depends on observing and responding properly to attacks and they able to tell the speed at which an object is traveling, the distance between them and the object, and how much damage it is likely to do with its current velocity. This can even be used on close range attacks such as sword swings or punches as long as the user's [Willpower] is equal to or greater than the speed of the attack.



NinTaiShow
Dance of the Storm GodShow
Breath of Susanoo:
The 'Dance of Storm God' is a specialized form of Nintaijutsu that involves mixing the user of Toushi's Urumi and Storm ninjutsu to develop a rapid-paced, agile, and deadly style of combined arms combat able to effect large areas of the battlefield. Due to Ranton's ability to be used to either pierce or wrap targets, the user can decide which effect is being used, depending on the target. They must specify in the post that the maneuver is being used which they are using.

History
Historical AccountsShow

Born into the Arashiyama family, Toushi was the third child of his mother Sakura and father Toro. Both were shinobi of whom the baby would grow to learn were from the prominent, almost noble family of the Hidden Cloud. His life as a young child was simple, learning from his mother mostly when not playing with his two older siblings, the closest to his age was his sister Ji who was two years older than himself, while the pairs older brother was five years ahead of Toushi. Soon the young boy felt like his both disappeared as the boy had started the standardized schooling portion of his life within Kumo, before soon after transitioning to the shinobi academy leaving little time to play with his younger siblings.

This was something that would become a driving point in the boy's younger years, feeling that he needed to succeed and study in order to become a shinobi as well so that he'd be able to spend more time with his brother and parents who would often be drawn away due to the commitments that came with being a shinobi. At the age of eight he would enter into his first year of classes, meeting many other kids and making number of friends due to the easy going personality that he had acquired from his siblings and parents, it was something of a common trait for those within his clan. A year later he would sadly leave a large majority of his new found friends behind as he transitioned into the shinobi academy, still chasing after his older brother who had long since graduated and even his older sister who was about to graduate the academy herself.

The two of them would always try to make a little time in their busy schedules to help Toushi along as he often had so many questions about his life and about being a shinobi and all the other things that came with it. Three years would seem to fly by as the man had just reached his twelfth birthday before graduating and being given the headband etched with the precious village symbol upon it, something he'd been striving for what felt so long to achieve. Finally he had managed to at least catch up a little to his brother ans sister, the latter who was still a genin while the boy's brother had already reached the special jounin rank and was even held in high regard by many of their relatives within the clan. Toushi partnered up with two of his best friends, Jin and Sato, whom he had been with since the first day of the shinobi academy and had become very close.

A trio under the guidance of a senior chuunin, the group began to slowly hone their basic skills from the academy as each began to seek out their own path to being a shinobi. Toushi was very intrigued with the special release of his clan, a fusion of Water and Raiton, and was always daydreaming about how best he could use it. Even though he found himself proficient with the elemental ninjutsu he couldn't pull himself away from wanting to fight and hone his taijutsu at the same time. This in turn led the boy to creating a style of elemental taijutsu that he later learned was called nintai. Though it had its strengths for sure it was rather chakra intensive, a drawback that forced the man to work a lot on his stamina which began to slowly mold the young boy's body into a muscular form over the next three years as the trio of genin worked relentlessly to improve and complete missions. At the age of fifteen, the now young man was able to succeed in passing the C-rank mission on his second attempt, given to him by their sensei and the village in order to prove his worth and abilities that he could act at the rank of Chuunin.

It was on this year that something truly unexpected happened as the Nakajima family did something that no one ever though would happen and what was one of the bloodiest events in the last half a century within the notional walls of the village. On one early Nakajima Kadou, a notable politician who criticized the “hand-holding” state of Kumogakure had tried to lead a revolution in Kumogakure. Along with his brother they attempted a coup d'etat on the Raikage. The band of assassins and shinobi however swiftly failed, dying at the hands of the Raikage and his bodyguards. Even as a chuunin and young shinobi this was a memory that he would never be able to forget as it cost the man's older brother his life during the unexpected burst of conflict and fighting. This was big setback mentally for the young chuunin who had lost his sibling not to conflict with another village but to people just the day before were their brother and sisters in arms against all who might threaten their grand home.

Toushi's progress which had been so steady in growth plateaued and even dropped for about six months to a years worth of time to finally come to terms with the events and with the help of his sister and mother begin to once more advance slowly back on the tracks of his life as a shinobi. Understanding that we were all tools of the village and sometimes there would be death on both sides of that tool. Finally the chuunin began to train harder, wishing to find the strength to limit such needless casualties as the rest of the world was an uneasy place with war and death breaking out between other great shinobi nations while their own country had tried to maintain a form of neutrality in order not to get pulled into the destruction. Then their was a team of peace for the man as he slowly trained his skills in Ranton and Taijutsu, still slowly forging a method to combine them into one single style of fighting. It was at this time he stumbled upon one of the old relic weapons of the clan from a time that was before they were even part of the Cloud village.

It was a strange looking thing, it looked like a handful of whips that had been attached to the hilt of a sword, but the whip portion was more compatible to thin, flexible blades. Something about it drew the man to the weapon but the clan elders would not allow for him to obtain the weapon just yet as it was one of the artifacts from the older days of the clan and he also couldn't understand why the youngster would want to try wielding such a strange weapon that could be just as dangerous to the user as the target. He made a deal in the end that he would be allowed to take the weapon out of the clan's armory after become a jounin and the old man just laughed a bit and shrugged before finally agreeing. Not really expecting the young man would want to put in the level of training and work in order to develop a style of fighting with the odd weapon and nin the end he also thought that it really wasn't doing anything except gathering dust in the store room.

In what felt like the blink of an eye the young man was eighteen and had promoted to the rank of jounin and that very day he went back to find the old clan elder who scratched his head as he'd forgotten about the agreement and had to take some time to remember. A short time later he walked out of the clan compound and began to seclude himself at times when not tasked out on a mission as started to learn how to utilized the weapon which was called an Urumi. The first couple of months caused for the man to spend a portion of his time in the general hospital due to the self inflicted injuries that occurred during the training on how to properly wield the weapon. No one else in the village knew anything about how to best wield it and the man was forced to read about flexible swords and whips to develop a general understanding on the best manner to approach the weapon.

After a few years worth of training the man not only developed the fluid ability to wield the weapon but also managed to combines it flawlessly with his NinTai techniques, it was at this time when he truly felt at one with his style and the storm chakra within him that he unlocked something within the weapon. While in his hands the weapon was able to actually empower Ranton techniques that were used in his nintai styles when the chakra flowed through the weapon first. It was an amazing discovery but one that he also tried to keep to himself as a trump card, one always needed a few techniques or abilities that no one else knew about just in case.

Around the age of thirty, the man had developed a strong reputation in the clan and even around the village for his work ethic and easy going nature, but those who experienced his whip-like weapon often thought the complete opposite and in the end this was the time that the nickname of Kumo's Storm Beast began to stick for the man. He only laughed at the nicknames himself and continued to train. At the age of 31 the man would end up marrying a fellow jounin, Sora, the two contemplating starting a family. Yet, neither of them knew what was about to happen. Not long after their marriage the lightning spirit appeared to attack the village while they were both away on a mission, upon getting the emergency recall to the village both couldn't believe the amount of destruction and death caused by the spirit as the mountain had literally collapsed on one side falling down upon the village below. It was hard clean up process but one had to wonder if it might have been worse without the Nakajima who had stepped in to fight the beast alone before managing to drive him away in the end, bringing some honor to the family after the attempted coup over a decade ago.

Yet, just as the village was finally recovering from the natural disaster, everything was thrown upside down and the village and all of Lightning country was pushed into a civil war. A time when Toushi carved his name across many battlefields, even still he couldn't compare to the Nakajima who had fought against the lightning spirit. Though the man may not have known it his appearance on the battlefield had saved Toushi's life at least twice during the numerous battles that brought nothing but death and tragedy onto the land. The violent civil war didn't last long, and soon those who had truly started this war were fully punished and a new heir put in place as the country was once more reunited, yet Toushi found himself alone as he had buried his wife Sora due to the intense conflict of the civil war.

For his efforts during the war and as a symbol of his strength, the older jounin was gifted the title of Bannin, however the older man was still consumed with grief over his lost wife and harbored a great deal of hatred for the Nakajima man. This caused for the man to utilize his new found freedom as a bannin to leave the village for a time and simply wander around the land as a simple swordsman, attempting to find the missing pieces of his life.
