[b][color=#998C7C]Age:[/color][/b] 20
[b][color=#998C7C]Gender:[/color][/b] Male
[b][color=#998C7C]Physical Features:[/color][/b]
[list][*][i][color=#998C7C]Face/head:[/color][/i] His hair is a dark brown, nearly black, messy and shaggy, the longest length is about five inches. His eyes are also brown, clearly once kind, but now carry what some might call a sadness, others a darkness, and even more a hopelessness.
[*][i][color=#998C7C]Body:[/color][/i] Being a man focused on physical strength and prowess, Arata is well muscled, particularly in his core, chest and arms. His torso is littered with scars from various fights and missions, as well as his rigorous training regimens that he puts himself through. He measures at about six-foot-five with a weight of roughly two hundred pounds.
[*][i][color=#998C7C]Notable Features:[/color][/i] He has a tattoo of an oriental dragon extending down his left shoulder and encircling his arm to his elbow. He also has a tattoo of an oriental style tiger down his right shoulder to his elbow.[/list]
[b][color=#998C7C]Clothing/Accessories:[/color][/b] Arata wears a simple pair of black pants and boots, along with a black kimono shirt with white border and a sash at the waist to keep it tied together. He wears no jewelry of any kind. Also, rather than wearing a standard forehead protector, he wears his village symbol sewn into the back of his kimono shirt.
[b][color=#998C7C]Personality:[/color][/b]
[list][*][i][color=#998C7C]General:[/color][/i] Arata was once a man of many smiles and much happiness, resulting in the laughlines still being present on his face. But while he was once a man devout not just to his village but his Kazekage was as a god in his eyes. He was loyal to a fault, a protector, finding that disobeying or failing in any little thing was an act of disbelief. These days is rather a serious type and even depressing sort some days with a love of smoking and drinking, ever since losing what was most precious to him. His little sister. He is now devoted to his own strength, a man with no faith and a loyalty only to his village as he searches for a reason to believe again, something he truly thinks he will never find. As a man with no faith he has become reckless and rash, fighting like a man with nothing to lose.
[*][i][color=#998C7C]Hopes/Dreams:[/color][/i] Arata has no hopes and dreams as he views anything he had of value to be gone with the death of his sister.
[*][i][color=#998C7C]Fears:[/color][/i] His greatest fear has already come to bear, in the loss of his sister, the repercussions of which he’s still dealing with.
[*][i][color=#998C7C]Combat Mentality:[/color][/i] Arata is the sort to get in his enemy’s face. He’s rash and reckless, fighting like a man with nothing to lose and determined to drop his enemy at any cost.[/list]

[table=1, History]The story of Fujitsuna Arata began happy enough. He was born the son of a samurai type shinobi and a woman who worked in a restaurant within Suna. To this couple was born Arata and his sister, Akemi. Though they were not twins, they were separated by only one year and were near inseparable to the point where many often confused them for twins, if only because they were so close to one another. The pair went through the academy together and passed not only with one another’s aid, but they personally were overly fond of playing pranks on their instructor from time to time, much to his dismay.
As genin they were placed on separate teams which put the pair in an awkward position. They had trained together for so long that they perfectly complimented one another. Arata was the tank, the hard hitter and a samurai much like his father, while his sister was the medic and ninjutsu specialist of the pair. But for their time as genin they would have to adjust to the fact that they weren’t on the same team though the pair were still often seen training together. It was during this time that their mother passed away of an illness, taken from them early but both children vowed not to let her death dismay them. Their mother had lived a full and happy life and, in their minds, by the grace of the Sun and the Kazekage had born the both of them as possible blessings on the world. They did everything they could to help their father see things the same way, and yet a year later the two were planning their father’s funeral. How he died no one knew, he was no coward, nor was he murdered, the doctor claimed the man must have been too heartbroken to continue on without his wife.
This last loss was harder, watching their father fall weak and to death but the two were strong together and determined. Not long later the pair had to take their chunin exams separately and both passed, but it was as a chunin that tragedy truly struck Arata. As chunin the pair took on a mission together, their first, and their last. What was meant to be an easy hunt for the pair, taking down an unfaithful, aka a missing ninja of their village, turned into a trap. The pair was ambushed and while Arata managed to wipe out their enemy, a task that would lead to his later promotion again, his sister died in his arms and she did not die easily. He held her in her final hours, unable to do anything to save her and with no talent in the healing arts himself, he found himself helpless as he held her and watched her go.
Ever since Akemi’s death, Arata has felt as if he has lost more than the last of his family, he has lost his faith. He feels as if he is in a crisis, not understanding why their gods would allow this to happen, not understanding why his little sister had to die in such a way. For a time he walked the world with only his loyalty to his village, and his sister’s memory, to keep him in place. He smokes an incredible amount of weed, his source supposedly a closely guarded secret, and is often at least halfway to drunk (stocking up during the annual festival and somehow managing to keep that source a secret as well). He was often in trouble, and not a stranger to remedial training or lock up as a result of his antics.
But it all began to change the day he met a girl named Kiyori. He was sent on a mission as part of a rescue team to find her on her return to Suna, but found himself trapped within the same ruin she was. It was in this ruin that he fought to protect her, nearly at the cost of his own life on more than one occasion. It was also during this time that he was given a new purpose as her guardian. As Kiyori was ‘blessed’ by the ruins, which turned out to be an ancient temple, he was ‘blessed’ by the spirit guarding the temple. It was an act that resulted in that same spirit being sealed in him to save his own life as he was near husked by time they returned home. Through the spirit’s guidance Arata has begun finding purpose in protecting Kiyori, and has begun to even fall in love with the girl.[/table]

[spoiler=Shinden Kenjutsu][quote=Shinden Kenjutsu]Shinden Kenjutsu is a style originating in Marsh Country that emphasizes heavy and damaging slashes from positions that allow flexibility and focus. Typically the user will draw their sword and then lift it over their shoulder or head, in a downward slashing angle to allow for gravity to act as an enhancer for the blow and because of this, heavier swords such as nodachi or odachi are typical fare for the style but the moves can be done with a katana. This style also emphasizes firm and powerful body movements to deal with the lack of blade defense afforded by the stance assumed.
[i][b]Requires:[/b] [Rigid Structure], [Sword or Hafted] Concentrations[/i][/quote][spoiler=D Rank]*[color=#8B2323][b]Shinden • Stream Splitting[/b][/color]
D-Rank Kenjutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite: 10 Strength
Lifting their sword above their head the user of this technique drives it down in one fluid motion with their blade aimed to slash through or into whatever they are attacking. The force of this technique is amplified by the fact that their stance is aimed to enhance muscle tension and torque, allowing them to make the single slash a very powerful one.
*[color=#8B2323][b]Shinden • Branch Cleaver[/b][/color]
D-Rank Kenjutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite: 10 Strength
While the basic techniques of Shinden revolve around heavy slashes from standing positions this technique is about harnessing the same destructive potential while moving. Rushing at a foe quickly, the user slashes in a downward motion in order to maintain momentum. The sword is typically swung from right to left or from left to right instead of straight down, the attack usually stopping at waist level to keep from potentially stumbling. While less destructive than some Shinden techniques, it still retains utility in battles of movement.
*[color=#8B2323][b]Shinden • Fake Out[/b][/color]
D-Rank Kenjutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite: 10 Strength
A technique designed to interrupt foes; the user pulls their hands up on their sword to expose more of the hilt while in typical Shinden stance. Once an opponent comes within range, the user yanks the hilt down in a smashing manner against the foe or a similar target. Afterwards, the user follows with a less damaging downward slash at a foe, making this effective for surprise purposes.
*[color=#8B2323][b]Shinden • Grass Cutter[/b][/color]
D-Rank Kenjutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite: 10 Strength
With a stance shift, the user quickly draws their weapon to their waist with the blade facing away from their body. The user then delivers a quick and brutal horizontal thrust forward, followed by a slice, inspiring its name by cutting down unwary opponents. The technique is defensive in nature, allowing the user to guard with the intent to counter.
*[color=#8B2323][b][Shinden • Sword Shield][/b][/color]
D-Rank Kenjutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite: 10 Strength
As most Shinden users wield rather large blades, The user of this technique has trained themself to use the width of their blade as a sort of shield, using it to deflect most small weaponry and block blows reliably. Users should be very liberal with the use of this technique, as too strong a blow could damage their weapon and render it useless, while too thin a weapon makes the use of this technique more difficult than one with a wider blade.[/spoiler][spoiler=C Rank]*[color=#8B2323][b]Shinden • Grounding Blade[/b][/color]
C-Rank Kenjutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite: 15 Strength
The user he blade of their sword into the ground and then slashes sideways creating a fairly deep deep crater, around five inches, in the ground in front of them, kicking up a splash of rocks and dust to blind and harry foes. The user then lunges into their foe with an attempt to knock them over or slash at their legs. Foes with at least equal Strength to the user can avoid being knocked over and can maintain ground, preventing the follow-up slash.
*[color=#8B2323][b]Shinden • Aerial Saw[/b][/color]
C-Rank Kenjutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite: 15 Strength
Leaping up off the ground in any Shinden stance, the user draws their blade down and creates a powerful overhead slash which doubles as a defensive movement, the user capable of moving the sword to displace weight and momentum to change direction if needed. With this technique, the user can also form heavy slashes on uneven or unstable terrain without dependancy on solid ground.
*[color=#8B2323][b]Shinden • Uproot[/b][/color]
C-Rank Kenjutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite: 15 Strength
Bringing their blade down and pointing the tip towards their enemy, the user will thrust the length of their blade into his opponent in an attempt to jam their sword through the opponent's torso. To finish the technique the user will lift their target off of their feet by lifting the blade before throwing them as far as they can, swinging the blade to fling them off the tip.
*[color=#8B2323][b]Shinden • Shield of Swings[/b][/color]
C-Rank Kenjutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite: 15 Strength, 15 Taijutsu
The user will swing their blade in a seemingly wild fashion without truly aiming to connect with a target, at least not with any real accuracy. While it seems to be totally uncalculated to the untrained eye, the user is in fact swinging their weapon in such a way to protect themselves from other attacks while making their approach. By swinging the blade in large circles around their body, they create a whirlwind of strikes that not only serve to bat away blows of lesser strength, but can easily tear apart an opponent on a direct hit.[/spoiler][/spoiler]
[spoiler=Iaido Kenjutsu][quote=Iaido Kenjutsu]
Iaido Kenjutsu is a sword style originating from the Land of Tea that focuses on the fact that when first drawn, the linear motion and force of pulling a katana from its sheath are able to generate unusually fast slashes. Iaido capitalizes on this, it's samurai equally skilled in close range hand-to-hand fighting and then being able to switch to single fast slashes and stabs before returning to previous combat, making them unpredictable fighters.
[i][b]Requires[/b] [Sword] and [Perception] Concentrations
[/i][/quote][spoiler=D Rank][b]*[color=#8B658B][Iaido • Swift Draw][/color][/b]
D-Rank Kenjutsu Maneuver
[b]Prerequisite:[/b] [i]5 Taijutsu, 8 Speed[/i]
With the most widely recognized attack of Iaido style, the user draws their katana at a very quick speed, making a powerful slash in tangent with the draw. This technique is dependent on the user's overall reaction speed as it is usually only used when an opening presents itself or when the user needs to draw their sword quickly.
[b]*[color=#8B658B][Iaido • Block][/color][/b]
D-Rank Kenjutsu Maneuver
[b]Prerequisite:[/b] [i]8 Speed[/i]
A technique developed out of need to protect himself from other weapon users, Block is simple in its use, but highly effective when used right. By partially drawing their sword, the user of this technique is able to use the back of their blade to block incoming weapon attacks should they time it correctly. The user must be careful when using this technique, should the attacker have a high enough strength, this technique could very well shatter the user's weapon.
[b]*[color=#8B658B][Iaido • Hilt Strike][/color][/b]
D-Rank Kenjutsu Maneuver
[b]Prerequisite:[/b] [i]8 Speed[/i]
A simple technique, Hilt Strike is designed for moments when the target is to close for the user to fully draw their sword. Gripping their hilt in a downward dagger position, the user will quickly draw their blade out as far as they can, and use the butt of the hilt to strike their target in an attempt to push them back and set them up for their other attacks.
[b]*[color=#8B658B][Iaido • Cutting The Eyes][/color][/b]
D-Rank Kenjutsu Maneuver
[b]Prerequisite:[/b] [i]8 Speed[/i]
A simple, yet very effective technique, Cutting The Eyes is a Line Draw aimed at the target's eyes. The user attempts to horizontally slash the target's eyes in order to remove their eyesight.
[b]*[color=#8B658B][Iaido • Line Draw][/color][/b]
D-Rank Kenjutsu Maneuver
[b]Prerequisite:[/b] [i]8 Speed[/i]
The technique is recognized by its signature stance of one hand just below the opening of the katana sheath and the other firmly on the sword. Drawing the sword in one swift motion, the user creates a horizontal or vertical slash in front of themselves before sheathing the sword, often chaining these strikes together for greater effect.[/spoiler][spoiler=C Rank][b]*[color=#8B658B][Iaido • Beheading Draw][/color][/b]
C-Rank Kenjutsu Maneuver
[b]Prerequisite:[/b] [i]15 Speed[/i]
The user draws their katana with one hand and slams their palm into the back of their blade to increase the force behind the swing made in any direction. This works with blunted side of a sword, but it can also draw out their strength and the blade's cutting power in full to quickly slash apart obstacles. Re-sheathing after this technique may take a bit longer; the placement of the hands following this technqiue make it difficult to resheath properly.
[b]*[color=#8B658B][Iaido • Clash Draw][/color][/b]
C-Rank Kenjutsu Maneuver
[b]Prerequisite:[/b] [i]15 Speed, 10 Instinct[/i]
In this technique, the user assumes a firm stance and then draws their weapon in an upward arc. This sort of draw makes it easy to bat away projectiles moving at a Speed equal to or lower than the user's Speed and Instinct stats. This also enables the user to cut through advancing techniques or to clash with an opponent's weapon. This movement, however, may leave the user without the ability to sheath his weapon for some time, limiting the effectiveness of their techniques until they can
[b]*[color=#8B658B][Iaido • Reverse Line Draw][/color][/b]
C-Rank Kenjutsu Maneuver
[b]Prerequisite:[/b] [i]8 Speed, 15 Taijutsu[/i]
A modified version of the original Line Draw, Reverse Line Draw is designed for use when one only has the use of one hand. Rather than drawing the blade in the typical fashion, the user will grip the hilt as they would when holding a sword so that the blade is pointing down. While the technique is the same as the original, the modified drawing requires an increase in skill to use. The user still draws their blade in one swift motion, creating a vertical, or, horizontal slash in front of themselves. The user often waits to sheath their sword until they regain the use of their other hand.[/spoiler][/spoiler]
[spoiler=Toryu Kenjutsu][quote=Toryu Kenjutsu]Toryu Kenjutsu is a sword style originating from the Land of Pebbles that focuses on not just performing kenjutsu but also weaving close quarters style taijutsu into the bladework. Toryu's specialty is not only learning to capably slash a sword with one hand but also learning to use the hands, joints, legs and even the head to make frighteningly dangerous close quarters fighters. An inelegant style, it is commonly associated with the more 'rough' samurai but in truth it's reliance on two opposing impulses and control of the body makes it one of the more difficult Kenjutsu styles to learn. While usable with most blades, experienced fighters often prefer wakizashi, ninjato and even tanto daggers instead of katana for increased mobility.
[list][*][i][b]Requires:[/b] [CQC], [Sword] Concentrations[/i][/list][/quote][spoiler=D Rank]*[color=#8B4C39][b][Toryu • Close Quarters][/b][/color]
D-Rank Kenjutsu Stance
Prerequisite: 5 Taijutsu
The signature stance of the style, Close Quarters teaches users of this style how to rapidly change the angle, position and even grip of their weapon without moving their hand from it's signature position at the user's waist for maximum versatility. Users of this style often assume a one foot forward, one back, slightly swayed stance to free up movement as well at the expense of leaving their center open.
*[color=#8B4C39][b][Toryu • Lunging Feint][/b][/color]
D-Rank Kenjutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite: 5 Speed
A basic technique of the style wherein the user moves in for a basic lunge-thrust with their weapon, only to turn in mid thrust and attempt to sweep their leg under the opponent's own. This tends to be useful as a basic feint and can usually knock down those with less strength than the user who get caught by it.
*[color=#8B4C39][b][Toryu • Guard Break][/b][/color]
D-Rank Kenjutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite: 5 Strength
After rushing in on a foe and initiating an attack the user waits for the opponent to guard, either with arm or weapon, before quickly lashing out with their hand or pommel of their blade and attempting to smash the guarding hand or arm aside with a wrist smash. The pain as well as damage can interrupt the guard of opponents, leaving them wide open for the initial attack to hit.
*[color=#8B4C39][b][Toryu • Limb Lock][/b][/color]
D-Rank Kenjutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite: *[color=#8B4C39][b][Toryu • Close Quarters][/b][/color], 5 Taijutsu
A dangerous close quarters 'option closer', the Toryu user will sweep in close and try to slam their foot down on an opponent's as well as quickly sweep their arm around the opponent's to lock their elbow with the user's own. This technique is usually utilized for setting up blows or blocking off the weapons of dual-wielding foes and it forces the opponent to break out of the move before counter-attacking.
*[color=#8B4C39][b][Toryu • Counter Kick][/b][/color]
D-Rank Kenjutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite: 5 Taijutsu, 5 Strength
The user of this technique will attempt to block the blow of his opponent with his blade, relying heavily on the durability of their weapon and their own strength to resist the strength of the opponent's attack. Should they be successful, the user will follow up with a swift kick to the target's chest or stomach to push them away and stun them, then follow up with a quick stab to the chest or stomach.[/spoiler][/spoiler]
