General Information Age: 37
Gender: Male
Height: 6'3
Weight: 176 lbs
Physical Features:

• Face/head:
  Genkaku's most notable and visible aspects stem from his darker skin and lighter grey colored hair. His hair is styled up in a mohawk with the sides of his head shaved bald and the hair in the back is pulled into a braided ponytail near the base of his skull and falls down around the middle of his back. His eyes are a beady and green in color with his face holding defined masculine features and a chiseled jawline.
• Body:
  His body is built upon a slender frame and has a trim physique, mostly held in this state by the rigors and demands of his chosen occupation. if definition was to be more prominent anywhere upon his person, it would be his legs for certain as he spends a lot of time during missions on his feet and staying mobile. His body has a few faded scars but the majority of scars and rough patches exist upon his hands from working with puppets for years of his life.
• Notable Features:----

Clothing/Accessories:
Genkaku is a man of simple tastes. His main form of dress translates easily from work to home as he wears long pants and long sleeve shirts, all of varying colors depending on location, being on duty, and function. Around his waist he wears a Haramaki that he often keeps things tucked into. His feet are covered by sandals that have a boot like style to them and come up to cover the hem of his pants only to stop around mid-shin. Over all this he typically wears a Black poncho with white tassels that make a mantle like effect across the chest and around the back. He typically wears a mask upon his face that has black and gold tassels hanging off the sides, the mask holding an animal shape that changes depending on what he grabs from his collection.

Personality:

• General:
  A very down-to-earth kind of guy, Genkaku doesn't retain the elements of snobbery or his 'better than you' kind of attitude he had in his youth. Pragmatic in many ways, life experiences have taught Genkaku that blind optimism isn't the only way to life as it can blind one to the perils right under their nose. Balancing work and play, Genkaku often finds pleasure in the simple things but he clearly enjoys working with his hand for a hobby. Despite making machines of death, Genkaku has a tendency to craft toys and trinkets by hand for people he views as friends or close enough to show his appreciation or affection in such a manner. Rare is it for him to lose his cool, even rarer to see him get upset in a way that one would describe as 'angry' or 'enraged'.
• Hopes/Dreams:
  Genkaku hopes one day for the profession of shinobi to be obsolete and people to just live their lives in peace. If he ever got too wounded to continue on as a shinobi or he reached a nice age to retire, then he hopes to one day open a workshop and craft things with his hands until he dies in his sleep as an old man.
• Fears: Genkaku has had nightmares about losing his ability to mold chakra. Without it, he wouldn't be able to do the one thing he's dedicated his life to as a shinobi. It's a harrowing moment of dread that everything he's ever done and learned just up and vanishing one day.

History

Historical AccountsShow

Genkaku grew up to supportive yet disappointed parents. As a child, Genkaku was wild and abrasive to most people including his family. As a Genin he spent most of his time alone and caused more trouble than he should have. Surprising most people with his aptitude with puppets, he showed remarkable focus in the craft of creating and controlling a puppet. Dedicating his time to make his first and only puppet to this day, Genkaku found his calling but was still a brat with little direction.

After taking part in three Chuunin Exams and failing, Genkaku faced a rude awakening on his third attempt that almost got him killed. A long period of time where Genkaku became listless and introspective, looking inside of himself as he reflected on his life to this point. Finding that he was becoming a burden, he sought to change himself. His parents noticed the change and originally marked it up to him pouting like a child but upon seeing him begin to function and do things out of the norm, they began to take note of their son. Seeing him grow from bratty child to budding young man spurned a sense of a pride and support they had not thought they'd ever give their little hell raiser.

Growing as a person, Genkaku started listening to others and focusing on his craft as a puppet user. Upgrading his puppet, he attempted the Chuunin Exams for a fourth time and passed, obtaining the rank of Chuunin. The next few years of his life were spent becoming more serious about being a shinobi, even becoming an optimist. However this blind optimism led him to face failure in a different light. It wasn't until he came to grips with the fact that not everything will come out sun shine and rainbows because he wished it, he started to obtain the pragmatic demeanor he holds today.

Mellowing out and growing more as a person, he continued his shinobi career until he obtained the rank of Jounin. It is here that his life continues on, his puppet skills growing and his puppet crafting taking another turn.

[Ace Trainer]

You have a number of puppet techniques that are effectively 'taijutsu but puppet'. This isn't really necessary, just for your awareness. They aren't "not allowed" but there's no real reason to have them unless I suppose you're concerned said maneuvers would get challenged if executed in combat w/o an existing technique.

In either case, I would advise against them being puppet specific if you elect to keep them.

[Tsedas]

Being challenged on it was part of the thinking behind it, we have techniques for damn near everything but I see a distinct lack of puppetry things other than "You make the wires go BRRT" and kind of figured that was left up to the player to decide. And isn't 'taijutsu but puppet' most of what puppetry is? Unless of course it has a piece of equipment or something that specifically functions with a ninjutsu based technique line for the puppet, any physical manipulations come off as taijutsu for the puppet, but I can't find many examples of mainline Puppet users so I'm having a hard time nailing the baseline. As for puppet specific, unless I have a slew of carbon copy puppets, it seems relevant to make it clear what puppet the technique is attached to in the event I have multiple puppets with different equipment load outs.

But aside from the clarifications and advisement, is there anything that needs correcting or adjusting on the sheet?

[Ace Trainer]

Nope, that was why I didn't include anything else.
