"In every bone, resilience; in every battle, adaptability."
General Information Age: 16
Gender: Male
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 163 lbs.
Physical Features:
Renji Kaguya stands tall, his posture impeccable, showcasing a remarkable symmetry in his bone alignment achieved through adept control of Death Bone Pulse. This manipulation has molded his physique into a slender, thin, and razor-sharp form, a deliberate choice to enhance his combat prowess. His average height is complemented by fair skin, accentuating his distinctive appearance.
Notably handsome, Renji possesses pleasing facial features, but it's his sharply pointed resting expression that lends him an air of perpetual seriousness. Adorning the middle of his forehead is the Kaguya clan's red circle marking, his unique procedure only forcing one large scar on his flesh and he skillfully conceals the scar beneath with red paint. With bright, scarlet colored eyes Renji has a stark countenance. Renji's ears are adorned with violet colored beads, a subtle yet striking detail adding to his overall aesthetic. A cascade of long, gray hair, meticulously parted in the middle, gracefully falls over his shoulders, framing his cool and collected countenance. Renji's appearance exudes a sense of worldly sophistication, hinting at experiences that have shaped him into the poised and formidable ninja he is.
Renji's attire reflects a blend of practicality and personal significance. Draped in a loose-fitting, pristine, no-sleeved white linen tunic, the garment is cinched at the waist with a deep red rope belt, its loose ends gracefully trailing down to Renji's knees. Around his neck, a necklace of transfigured bones serves as a poignant memento from his departed mother, the tightly coiled adornment holding sentimental value and shining a bright white from careful polishing. Hung tighter to his neck is another necklace, this one with a red gemstone fitted in the pendant.
Adorning his arms are red wrapping and his hands are clad in fingerless black gloves, proudly displaying the Kaguya clan symbol on the back. These gloves offer both protection and a nod to his heritage. Renji's lower half is adorned with regular-fit black denim cargo jeans, featuring sizable pockets on each side for convenience and functionality. Completing his ensemble, Renji dons standard-issue black close-toed ninja tabi, ensuring agility and stealth in every step.
Personality: Renji Kaguya is a mysterious figure, shrouded in an enigmatic aura that makes him hard to reach by normal folk. He is cool and calm, traits he picked up on by his adopted mother. Despite being part of a close-knit community, Renji guards his thoughts and emotions carefully, maintaining an air of secrecy between even his clanmates. The only people he will truly open up to are those who have earned his respect in battle. Renji views himself as an arm of Kirigakure and has deep loyalty ingrained into him when it comes to the village. Through his years of working for Kirigakure, Renji's experiences traversing the diverse landscapes of the ninja world have bestowed upon him a profound wisdom and worldliness. Guided by strong convictions to lead the Kaguya clan, his decisions are deliberate, reflecting a deep understanding of the complexities of the world around him.
Despite his intimidating presence, Renji is a trustworthy ally who has saved dozens of allies on the battlefield. His actions are governed by a strong moral compass, and those who earn his trust find a steadfast companion who will never leave their side. Loyalty is a value he holds dear, making Renji a reliable and respected figure in the ninja community.
Despite these qualities though, Renji is bull headed and typically goes to great lengths to follow through with plans in his own way. He follows his own path no matter what life throws at him, and Renji is proud of that too. Filled with dreams and pride Renji is an unshakable force in Kirigakure. He believes that a strong ninja is able to withstand whatever life throws at them, and Renji works his fingers to the literal bone to prove his worth to himself and the village of Kirigakure no Sato.
- Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
- Favorite Drink: Renji spends every morning he can drinking freshly squeezed orange juice.
- Tastiest Spirit: The most delicious spirit that Renji has ever consumed was an injured, starved and forsaken rainbow dragon spirit named Noryusei. It tasted liked a perfectly marbled steak , basted in butter and garlic. Renji calls on the spirit often and he has always favored the flavor of beef.
- Favorite Crop to Grow: As an owner of his own farm Renji has a favorite crop to grow for the Kawazaiwa family, that being the one that yields him the most cash annually of course. Renji excitedly alternates his crops between soy beans and his cash crop, sugar beets.
- Place of Study: Ever since he was old enough to form a sword out of his bones, Renji has been obsessed with mastering the art of the blade. He is excellently skilled with the blade and views it as an extension of himself. Renji has trained since he was seven years old at the Bone Draw Dojo in Kirigakure. The dojo is ran by practiced swordsman of the Kaguya clan and teaches a unique style of Iado that emphasizes using Death Bone Pulse to surprise opponents.
- Hopes/Dreams: Ever since he lost his mother to a rare occurrence of the bone disease returning, Renji dreams of becoming the clan leader and making his name known to the village as someone who stands for the wellbeing of his people.
- Favorite Hobby: While he cannot ingest food Renji does have an insatiable appetite for spirits. He loves to spend his time hunting for spirits to devour and can often be found sailing the seas seeking out lost demons to snack on. He is an accomplished sailor.
- Fears: The idea of a centipede makes Renji's skin absolutely crawl. He hates the fact that they have so many legs and a long spindly body. Renji will go out of his way to kill anything that remotely resembles a centipede.
Battle Information Village: Kirigakure no Sato
Rank: Chuunin
Combat Style: Using the venom crafted inside of the Cursed Seal of Paradise, Renji typically begins battle by attacking his enemies from afar using venomous bone bullets. Renji is also able to manipulate corpses of spirits and he tries to make use of these powers in battle, trapping his opponent with demon arms or launching a rainbow dragons fire at a distance. If the ninja cannot break his opponents defenses Renji will use his signature jutsu, Dance of the Seedling Fern, to grow large bone spikes around the battlefield that he can travel through and attack his opponent in stealth.

IadoShow
*[Iaido • Ancestral Focus]
D-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
The hallmark of Iaido is its practitioners abilities to launch an attack even when their swords are sheathed. This Discipline represents the practitioner's capacity to consistently execute a sword draw and slash all in one movement by gripping the edge of the scabbard and pulling the scabbard slightly forward before drawing the sword. This Discipline enables the practitioner to immediately draw their sword and attack at the start of combat.
*[Iaido • Weapon Mastery]
D-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Since Iaido is a style that prioritizes speed over brute strength, wise usage of the blade is paramount to the practitioner's success in the style. This Discipline represents the practitioner's knowledge of their weapon's strengths and weaknesses in combat, allowing them to use the weapon more efficiently both inside and outside of its use in Iaido techniques and avoid unnecessarily presenting their weapon's blind spots to the opponent.
*[Iaido • 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.
**[Iaido • One with the Sheath]
D-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequisite(s): 8 Speed.
The practitioner has learned how to more quickly and efficiently sheath his blades. The practitioner can now seamlessly transition from drawing their blade to slash to sheathing their blade, allowing the practitioner to sheath their sword in half the time, up to a maximum speed equal to their Speed score, for the more rapid execution of Iaido techniques.
*[Iaido • Last Breath]
D-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
The most iconic (and most basic) strike of Iaido, the practitioner quickly draws and cuts with their blade in a wide arc in one fluid motion. This simultaneous draw and attack straight from the scabbard makes Iaido well-suited for an initial surprise attack and for taking advantage of openings presented by the opponent.
*[Iaido • Mantra]
D-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
A simple yet potent defense, especially against other weapons users, the practitioner partially draws the sword from its scabbard and blocks incoming attacks with the back of their blade. This technique is ineffective against opponents with higher Strength than the practitioner's Strength.

D-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
A defensive technique particularly useful when an opponent is close to the practitioner or is clinching them in a grapple, the practitioner grabs the hilt of their sword with a reverse grip and rams the butt or pommel of the hilt into the opponent's body, pushing the opponent back a number of meters equal to the difference between their Strength scores. Conversely, against opponents with higher Strength than their own, the practitioner can use this technique to push themselves back a number of meters equal to their own Strength score. The speed and simplicity of the attack can push opponents away and give the practitioner the needed space to set up additional attacks.
*[Iaido • Clouding Eyes]
D-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite(s): 8 Speed.
A simple technique meant to cripple the target's vision, the practitioner draws the sword from its scabbard and aims a quick slash at the eyes. This technique can be done in any single direction to either target one or both of the opponent's eyes.

History
Historical AccountsShow
Born in the morning during a heavy, Spring downpour, Renji's soft cries could barely be heard over the rain. Renji was a small baby with dark, black hair. He was a very cute, little baby and his mother and father instantly fell in love with their first born son. The two of them sat with Ranji in the hospital bed for days, holding their precious child and taking in their moments with him at grandeur. They were so ready to take him home.
Unfortunately for the new parents, Renji was born with an extremely rare bone disease. His body was destined to ossify completely, and he had only weeks to live without the precious treatment of the Kaguya clan. Renji's mother loved him very much and wanted the best for her son so she sent a messenger dove for the clan immediately. The family waited for precious days for the clan to respond, they were anything but patient though. Renji's mother was scared for her baby boy and his father cursed his body for passing down wicked genes. The two were happy in love, but this would create an eternal rift between them. Nevertheless the Kaguya clan, after careful deliberation, decided to accept Renji into their midst and arrived at the hospital to take their new child. The parents weren't told anything about Renji's proposed future, and it was very much proposed.
While the mother and father waited for Renji's fate to be decided, the clan was busy making important talks over the possibility of curing Renji's disease. Recently the clan had stumbled upon ancient studies on the procedure that the Kaguya clan used to cure the disease that gave them their bone manipulation powers. According to their studies it was possible to alter the chakra system of the Kaguya while performing the procedure. It took some time to decide on it, but Renji's fate would be sealed. It was determined that he would undergo this experimental procedure. The clan wanted to create a perfect weapon out of Renji's body and they expected this procedure to be their ace in the hole.
At just a week old baby Renji was placed on the surgery table. They cut into his bones and began the sacred procedure as normal. When everything normal was done, however, a practiced surgeon entered the scene to begin the experimental procedure. He was there to rewire Renji's chakra system while his body was tender from the surgery. The man pulled his tenketsu all over his body while Renji remained in a stasis, altering the way the boys chakra pools interacted with the vessels that flowed chakra in and out of them. When he was done he painted the fresh wounds on Renji's head with red paint and then released to stasis jutsu Renji was under. Suddenly the boys heart began beating and he began pulsating on the table as chakra began flowing through his body once again like normal. Renji screamed out in pain as his stomach began to ossify, the poor baby writhing and shaking with agony. Before the procedure Renji had a normal, healthy chakra network, but the doctors alterations to his body triggered something dangerous in the infant. Renji's stomach began ossifying and turned to bone, along with much of his intestinal tract. Renji let out a loud cry, himself in pain from the sudden state of his gastrointestinal tract.
As the days went on Renji was watched by the clan leader personally. The boy had suddenly stopped eating but he seemed to be as healthy as expected nevertheless. Inside of his body Renji was undergoing a startling matter of fact. Renji was sustaining his life off of his own soul. With his altered chakra system Renji became able to feed on spirit. The doctor who had performed the surgery knew the most about this circumstance, and so the leader of the Kaguya clan entrusted Renji to him and his wife. They were expected to make Renji a powerful warrior with skills unlike any ever seen. They had a tall order to fill, but the task couldn't have been trusted to better ninjas.
The adopted parents of Renji Kaguya were two very strange people. The father was the surgeon who had altered Renji's body to devour spirits. He was an enigmatic, quirky man who was certainly strange and reserved. His name was Takato. Takato wasn't much of a father figure but he was successful in teaching his adopted son about his mutant body. Renji was a rare case of success in the experiment and he would grow up on a rare diet of juice and the occasional spirit. Takato didn't care much for the boy no matter what he did right, but he did teach the boy good work ethic. Takato also happened to be the one who helped Renji develop his skill with Death Bone Pulse.
Renji's adopted mother was named Carole and she was a highly reputable ninja in Kirigakure. She had unmatched skill in Fuuinjutsu and worked to seal many spirits up for the village. Carole was unlike her husband Takato. Their arranged marriage was something that Carole loathed in her life, but she made the best of it and poured all of her love into Renji. The jounin found Renji to be exceptionally intelligent at a young age and showered him in praise for his efforts at walking, talking and other fundamental tasks he would attempt. Between his mother and father Renji had a topsy turvy time at home, but he proved to adapt well and thrived in his unusual household.
When he was 5, Takato pushed Renji into the academy for ninja training. The boy had shown some aptitude for ninjutsu by altering his bone structure, and that was enough for Takato. Fortunately for Renji he was smart and his mother was an awesome teacher. He made it through the academy at a remarkably young age, graduating when he was 7. Renji made his first kill before he had ever gone grocery shopping by himself and as it would prove throughout the years, he was suited to be a shinobi for Kirigakure just fine. Renji had all the qualities of a ninja. He was strong, swift, deliberate, durable, intelligent, crafty and most of all he had a goal.
Since he was young enough to understand the circumstances of his birth Renji knew that the world would have to change. The boy saw the curse of the Kaguya to be heavy. Knowing that kids were born into the clan in such a way was horrible for the young boy to grasp. From a young age he had composed the goal of becoming the leader of the Kaguya Clan and protecting children.
For the years he spent as a genin, Renji struggled. At such a young age Renji was being crammed with information daily. His rival team was a daily stressor, and his youth would only get in the way. Renji wanted to live his life free but with the constraints of his ninja duties he often found himself conforming to higher ranks and that bothered the young kid. Of course time would press on and he would mature. Renji spent four years as a Genin but eventually he beat his rival and ascended to the rank of chuunin.
As a chuunin Renji found himself training less to master his skills and practicing his abilities on the battlefield. Despite his age Renji was incredibly talented and the village sent him on many national missions. Renji served as an excellent spy and he worked his ass off.
One day when he came home from a mission Renji found his mother sitting at the kitchen table looking terribly stressed. She had a piece of paper in her hand and it was clear she had been crying. "Come here son." She said to Renji and explained to him that the ossification of her bones had returned. She was destined to become a young corpse, but she had one last gift for Renji to pass on before she died.
The clan knew that due to Renji's unique status he could eat spirits, and it was also known that the chances of ossification spreading from his stomach were very real. Over the years Carole had devoted her work to creating a cursed seal that could prevent this. She had even tried a prototype on herself, which was how the disease returned to her body. But this time she was certain she ironed it all out and wanted to give Renji "a fighting chance." All he had to do was accept her offer, and the boy deeply trusted his mother; Renji agreed without hesitation.
The next day Carole placed the Cursed Seal of Paradise on Renji. He was guaranteed not to have the ossification return as long as he exercised his altered chakra network. Renji was deeply thankful for his mother and for a rare occurrence he cried in front of people after the cursed seal was placed. Not long after that Carole died and left her family alone on this world. Takato wasn't moved much by this, but Renji was greatly tore up. One day he decided to move out of his childhood home to escape the memories. Renji was still young but he was a wise boy. He made the best use of himself by moving out.
With more free time on his hands Renji lengthened his time at the Bone Draw Dojo and began practicing his skills more often than ever before. He discovered that he could produce a potent venom inside of his cursed seal, and it didn't take long for the boy to push himself far enough to tap into the dormant power of his cursed seal either. By flowing the natural energy infused chakra of his seal through his body Renji could tap into his cursed human energy and enhance his attacks for a short time. It was clear he would need a lot of practice but Renji was proud of himself for tapping into the gift his mother left him. In honor of her final gift to him Renji named this Sage Mode after the one who took Carole, the Reaper.
One day while walking to Carole's grave to pay his respects Renji found himself overpowered by the desire to run. He took off in a full sprint to find his moms grave. When he arrived Renji was out of breath but he felt invigorated by the spirit of her memories. Carole's spirit had reached out to him and he felt stronger than ever before. That day Renji promised himself to avoid letting his dreams become dreams. He resolved to become a great swordsman and protect the children of the Kaguya clan. Renji began the path to manhood that day, and it would prove to be a long and arduous path. Never one to falter, he was ready for what life would throw at him.
Unfortunately for the new parents, Renji was born with an extremely rare bone disease. His body was destined to ossify completely, and he had only weeks to live without the precious treatment of the Kaguya clan. Renji's mother loved him very much and wanted the best for her son so she sent a messenger dove for the clan immediately.

When he was done he painted the fresh wounds on Renji's head with red paint and then released to stasis jutsu Renji was under. Suddenly the boys heart began beating and he began pulsating on the table as chakra began flowing through his body once again like normal. Renji screamed out in pain as his stomach began to ossify, the poor baby writhing and shaking with agony. Before the procedure Renji had a normal, healthy chakra network, but the doctors alterations to his body triggered something dangerous in the infant. Renji's stomach began ossifying and turned to bone, along with much of his intestinal tract. Renji let out a loud cry, himself in pain from the sudden state of his gastrointestinal tract.
As the days went on Renji was watched by the clan leader personally. The boy had suddenly stopped eating but he seemed to be as healthy as expected nevertheless. Inside of his body Renji was undergoing a startling matter of fact. Renji was sustaining his life off of his own soul. With his altered chakra system Renji became able to feed on spirit. The doctor who had performed the surgery knew the most about this circumstance, and so the leader of the Kaguya clan entrusted Renji to him and his wife. They were expected to make Renji a powerful warrior with skills unlike any ever seen. They had a tall order to fill, but the task couldn't have been trusted to better ninjas.
The adopted parents of Renji Kaguya were two very strange people. The father was the surgeon who had altered Renji's body to devour spirits. He was an enigmatic, quirky man who was certainly strange and reserved. His name was Takato. Takato wasn't much of a father figure but he was successful in teaching his adopted son about his mutant body. Renji was a rare case of success in the experiment and he would grow up on a rare diet of juice and the occasional spirit. Takato didn't care much for the boy no matter what he did right, but he did teach the boy good work ethic. Takato also happened to be the one who helped Renji develop his skill with Death Bone Pulse.
Renji's adopted mother was named Carole and she was a highly reputable ninja in Kirigakure. She had unmatched skill in Fuuinjutsu and worked to seal many spirits up for the village. Carole was unlike her husband Takato. Their arranged marriage was something that Carole loathed in her life, but she made the best of it and poured all of her love into Renji. The jounin found Renji to be exceptionally intelligent at a young age and showered him in praise for his efforts at walking, talking and other fundamental tasks he would attempt. Between his mother and father Renji had a topsy turvy time at home, but he proved to adapt well and thrived in his unusual household.
When he was 5, Takato pushed Renji into the academy for ninja training. The boy had shown some aptitude for ninjutsu by altering his bone structure, and that was enough for Takato. Fortunately for Renji he was smart and his mother was an awesome teacher. He made it through the academy at a remarkably young age, graduating when he was 7. Renji made his first kill before he had ever gone grocery shopping by himself and as it would prove throughout the years, he was suited to be a shinobi for Kirigakure just fine. Renji had all the qualities of a ninja. He was strong, swift, deliberate, durable, intelligent, crafty and most of all he had a goal.
Since he was young enough to understand the circumstances of his birth Renji knew that the world would have to change. The boy saw the curse of the Kaguya to be heavy. Knowing that kids were born into the clan in such a way was horrible for the young boy to grasp. From a young age he had composed the goal of becoming the leader of the Kaguya Clan and protecting children.
For the years he spent as a genin, Renji struggled. At such a young age Renji was being crammed with information daily. His rival team was a daily stressor, and his youth would only get in the way. Renji wanted to live his life free but with the constraints of his ninja duties he often found himself conforming to higher ranks and that bothered the young kid. Of course time would press on and he would mature. Renji spent four years as a Genin but eventually he beat his rival and ascended to the rank of chuunin.
As a chuunin Renji found himself training less to master his skills and practicing his abilities on the battlefield. Despite his age Renji was incredibly talented and the village sent him on many national missions. Renji served as an excellent spy and he worked his ass off.
One day when he came home from a mission Renji found his mother sitting at the kitchen table looking terribly stressed. She had a piece of paper in her hand and it was clear she had been crying. "Come here son." She said to Renji and explained to him that the ossification of her bones had returned. She was destined to become a young corpse, but she had one last gift for Renji to pass on before she died.
The clan knew that due to Renji's unique status he could eat spirits, and it was also known that the chances of ossification spreading from his stomach were very real. Over the years Carole had devoted her work to creating a cursed seal that could prevent this. She had even tried a prototype on herself, which was how the disease returned to her body. But this time she was certain she ironed it all out and wanted to give Renji "a fighting chance." All he had to do was accept her offer, and the boy deeply trusted his mother; Renji agreed without hesitation.
The next day Carole placed the Cursed Seal of Paradise on Renji. He was guaranteed not to have the ossification return as long as he exercised his altered chakra network. Renji was deeply thankful for his mother and for a rare occurrence he cried in front of people after the cursed seal was placed. Not long after that Carole died and left her family alone on this world. Takato wasn't moved much by this, but Renji was greatly tore up. One day he decided to move out of his childhood home to escape the memories. Renji was still young but he was a wise boy. He made the best use of himself by moving out.
With more free time on his hands Renji lengthened his time at the Bone Draw Dojo and began practicing his skills more often than ever before. He discovered that he could produce a potent venom inside of his cursed seal, and it didn't take long for the boy to push himself far enough to tap into the dormant power of his cursed seal either. By flowing the natural energy infused chakra of his seal through his body Renji could tap into his cursed human energy and enhance his attacks for a short time. It was clear he would need a lot of practice but Renji was proud of himself for tapping into the gift his mother left him. In honor of her final gift to him Renji named this Sage Mode after the one who took Carole, the Reaper.
One day while walking to Carole's grave to pay his respects Renji found himself overpowered by the desire to run. He took off in a full sprint to find his moms grave. When he arrived Renji was out of breath but he felt invigorated by the spirit of her memories. Carole's spirit had reached out to him and he felt stronger than ever before. That day Renji promised himself to avoid letting his dreams become dreams. He resolved to become a great swordsman and protect the children of the Kaguya clan. Renji began the path to manhood that day, and it would prove to be a long and arduous path. Never one to falter, he was ready for what life would throw at him.
