When it's all said and done, everybody loses.
General Information Age: 17
Gender: Male
Height: 176 cm
Weight: 68 kg
Physical Features:
- Face/head: Though short and quite unlike his spirit, Kaoru’s hair runs wild along his ears, floating about an inch from his shoulders. Frizzly, slightly wavy, unkept-looking, his short mane alternates anywhere along the spectrum ranging from shiny, somewhat dark orange and light brown. Despite his assimilated dressing style, his facial features remind him of his kinfolk: chiseled jaw, almond-shaped amber eyes, thin lips and forced smile all aid a cold, pensive look when wandering around aimlessly. A small, zig-zag-shaped scar is imprinted on his neck.
- Body: He sports an average build, running a tad bit thinner to aid for movement for swift, quick movements and flexibility around the joints. Very rarely seen slouching, his shorter height is compensated for by an impeccable posture, itself somewhat nullified by what some would consider narrower-than-average shoulders and a less-than-intimidating weight distribution.
Personality:
- General: Empathetic, compassionate. His cold exterior and pensive facial expression more often than not gives off the wrong expression. Kaoru still remains far from jovial, but his understanding of pain in all its forms enables him to empathize with others and connect on a bond unlike commonly found across the village. Nevertheless, his sometimes abrasive and nonchalant attitude does tend to put people off. He has mastered the art of irritating by way of snarky comments and yet, more often than not, does it unintentionally.
Kaoru is a pacifist first and foremost. Originally from the tundra of Friopia, the pearls of his eyes have been polished to a faint glimmer in the face of mass destruction in the name of the larger villages of Kumogakure and Kirigakure. He has seen the enterprise that follows war, the tragedies ensuing both minor conflicts and the devastation of the last Great Shinobi War. As such, trauma often resurfaces and torments his thoughts, sometimes even when coming across a human foe - though, despite being a shinobi by practice, his avoidance of fighting missions has led to very few bruises and traumatic episodes since then. - Hopes/Dreams: Living a peaceful life, all the while making the world around him a better place. His ambitions are restricted to his village - nay, his neighbours and the friends and acquaintances he considers family. Some may consider it an understatement, but Kaoru’s life has been nothing but modest and he intends to keep the evils of power and greed far from him and his.
- Fears: War. More than war, grand demonstrations of power as a means for destruction strongly intimidate. The use of said power to affect and endanger the lives of his community are more than enough to strike fear into him.
- Combat Mentality: The unfortunate combination of his conflict avoidance and his fear of the inhumane has led to very few unfriendly encounters where force had been used beyond a few punches or, at worst, light sparring. Nevertheless, his experience in missions has shown natural affinity for combat. His dexterity, a by-product of his experience in origami, translated very quickly to speedy hand-signs. Though his trauma may resurface at times, his focus is oftentimes immovable and as such, his endurance and chakra control have improved are lightning-fast speeds. That is not to mention a natural affinity to manipulate chakra for unique purposes, in unique patterns through his mother’s hiden, though he has yet to fully master or discover the extent of his powers.

NinjutsuShow
*Raiton • Conductor
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
After performing the correct hand seals, the user will coat a weapon they are holding in Raiton electricity for 5 posts. This causes the shock effect to be produced on any contact with a target, while also granting blunt weapons the ability to cut through skin to produce shallow wounds. This also works for thrown weapons, however if the projectile remains out of contact with the user for more than 2 posts the technique will dissipate early.
*Iijutsu • Blood Clot Technique
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
After focusing chakra into their hands, the user will hover them over the bleeding wound and begin to channel chakra through it. The chakra will began to thicken the blood, causing it to clot at [Control] Speed. Wounds can be dealt with one limb at a time and the number of wounds that can be tended to within the three (3) posts that this technique lasts depends on their size. Although this technique stops the bleeding, the wound remains vulnerable and will require further care after this has been performed.
Iijutsu • Acupuncture Technique
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
The user will channel chakra as needed onto their hands, forming sharp inoffensive needles a few millimeters long to be inserted into a target’s body for pain relief. The technique is typically used by medical-nin to revitalize numb areas of the body or provide temporary pain relief for damage inflicted by [Control/2] jutsu, or by light projectiles such as kunai, shuriken, senbon, and the like. Unlike traditional acupuncture methods, chakra acupuncture is less penetrative despite being more reliant on the user’s chakra control, leading to minimal risk of injury if the procedure is performed inadequately. Custom created by Kaoru Miura.
*Iijutsu • Local Anesthesia
C-Ranked Ninjutsu
The user will channel chakra into their hands and then place them over a group of muscles. Their chakra will spread through the muscle group at [Control Speed and numbness will begin to creep throughout it, beginning with the flesh before seeping into the muscle below. This numbing begins where the user has placed his/her hands and spreads outward until the hands are removed. The numbness can only cause pain equivalent to being stabbed with a kunai to be nullified. Once numbed, the effects last for four (4) posts before fading.

History
Historical AccountsShow
Humble beginnings is an understatement, as cliche as the phrase is when it is used to refer shinobi's past. Very little is publicly known of Kaoru's past beyond a broad timeline of his nomad lifestyle. Raised by a single mother amidst a community of a few families, in a nomad settlement dozens of kilometers away from the Western coast of Friopa, Kaoru and his mother were quickly adopted by a traveling male nurse who had wandered into the settlement. Quickly, though the boy was just a few years old, they fled the war-torn hellhole they had seen burst into the flames before their eyes and sought refuge across the sea, all thanks to a growing love affair between the young nurse and the single mother of one.
Settling into modest normality in the rogue home of the Whirlpool Country, the family survived thanks to the open-air clinic maintained by the head of the household for ronin and bandits wandering across. Quickly, the couple realized that despite their survival, their routine proved dangerous not only for their child's future, but for their own sake. With what they then described to Kaoru as "a target on their backs" and with more secrets under the hood, the couple once again traveled West, settling for a newfound anonymity in Pebble Country. Today, the stay-at-home mother remains in poor health and the father and son provided for the needs of the family thanks to an odd derivative of his medical prowess: a rehab spot, serving as a budget underground "anaesthesia clinic", where poorly-paid genin and overstressed civilians came to be anesthetized and fall in a state of deep (euphoric) sleep under medical supervision.
