[center][b][big]General Information[/big][/b][/center]
[b]Age:[/b] 16
[b]Gender:[/b] Male
[b]Height:[/b] 6'
[b]Weight:[/b] 200 lbs
[b]Physical Features:[/b]
[list][*][i]Face/head:[/i] A slender face with a strong jaw line outlines Hisato's face coming down to a gently rounded chin, three vertical lines that become smaller as they move away from the shinobi's chin cheeks appear almost like whiskers and are a byproduct of his merger with the fox spirit. The young man has shaggy, unkept looking black hair that is between two-to-four inches in length across his head while the front bangs frame his rather handsome looking face with a set of almost dull looking grey eyes. Seated atop either side of the sun kissed skin of the man's head is a pair of raven hue furred fox ears that extend to three inches in length at the top point
[/list]
[list]
[*][i]Body:[/i] Traveling down from the young man's face and slender neck one can first begin to see the trap muscles that extend from the top of his muscled shoulders, hinting at the rather well-developed physical characteristics that can be found across his upper body demonstrating a mixture of an athletic body with that of a weightlifter, seeming to find the perfect medium between the two. A muscular chest and set of arms from years of physical training and perfecting his sword arts are normally hidden from sight by a single lay of dark colored kimono style robe, but a feature even more striking than their rather muscled appearance of the young man is the numerous sword scars that can be found upon the entire upper torso.
These all lead down to a very lean core that demonstrates his strict diet and stringent training regime before revealing his slightly muscled legs that scream of being training for speed and agility. Though the most striking feature perhaps of all is the one-meter-long, black furred fox tail that grow from the intersection of the spine and pelvis upon his lower back. Starting out thin they grow rather 'fluffy' looking between the middle half before tapering down to a pointed in, the tail can normally be found with the tip curled up into a tight circle. Dark blue or black cloth pants hid the upper legs of the shinobi as they are wrapped at the shin lith dark bandaging as a dark color set of shinobi style sandals adorn his feet. Both the young man's fingernails and toenails are more like claws, being around an inch long and coming to a sharp point as the teeth in his mouth are more like fangs from a canine than those of a human.

[b]Personality:[/b]
[list][*][i]General:[/i] If one were to use a single word to describe Hisato it might be Machiavellism, one who is cunning and calculative. Decently intelligent and very aware of his surrounding and situations being one who likes to be the one in control of every situation that he can be, even if he doesn't allow the other party to know that he's in control over them. Primarily concerned with himself and his own advancements to the point he will willingly cooperate with anyone who will further his own ends. A seeker of fortune and fame with little concern for the people they trample along the way. Placing value in strength and ability alone.
In terms of defining his alignment he could almost be considered a lawful evil type of man who methodically takes what he wants within the limits of his code of conduct without regard for whom it hurts as he no longer has to worry about what his village thinks or its laws. He cares about traditions, loyalty, and order but not so much about the freedom of others, dignity, or life. He plays by his own set rules molded from the ethics which he developed within confinement with his own personal spin on things, without mercy or compassion and often blurring the line of shinobi and serial killer.
He is fairly comfortable in a hierarchy and would like to rule but is willing to serve someone as long as they have demonstrated their superiority to himself and have proved this to him personally either against him or in front of his own eyes. He is a man who openly condemns others, not solely according to their actions but more so according to their race, religion, homeland, and/or social rank, or power. If you aren't strong, then in the man's eyes you are just trash that is in his way.
[/list][list]
[*][i]Hopes/Dreams:[/i] To reach the title of a true shinobi through becoming one of the powerful members of the Mist Swordsman.
[/list][list]
[*][i]Fears:[/i] Dying a meaningless death for or because of someone weaker than himself,
[/list][list]
[*][i]Combat Mentality:[/i] Not one to truly fight a head on battle if he can help it, first using either concealment ninjutsu or deceptive illusionary techniques to allow him to strike hard and fast. Normally looking to end a fight in the first few exchanges with his blade.

[b][u]Description[/u][/b]: A sword with a slender metallic hand-crafted hilt of a dark purple and black metal six inches in length, meant for being wielded with a single hand and from the hilt extended a clear blade that seemed to be forged from some sort of rare crystalline material. The blade is rather thin and long, being less than an eighth of an inch thick, two inches in width, and thirty inches in total length. Sheathed over the man's left shoulder in a plane black sheath.
[u]Strength[/u]: 50
[b]Effect #1:[/b] The jagged edge of the sword design creates such wounds that they are unable to heal on their own through normal regeneration abilities. Requiring high level Iijutsu to fully heal. (A-Rank Effect)
[b]Effect #2[/b]: The transparent structure of the Crystal Blade is very difficult to see, especially when wielded by the Fox shinobi. To accurately see the movements and attacks of the blade the enemy needs to possess a S-rank Visual perception technique.
[b]Effect #3[/b] The glass like sword has a truly nasty, jagged edge along both cutting sides and its sharp piercing tip. Those wounded by the blade causes a target to bleed excessively, because of this the target will suffer a [-8] Endurance Debuff for the next [5] posts. Requiring medical attention to be healed from.

[b]First Ability[/b][c]
[quote=Kitsune no Kao]
After merging with a fox, a Tsukino inherits many of the fox’s own physical features and potential. This takes the form of a small amount of the fox's features, namely a pair of foxlike ears and foxlike tails which multiply as their own powers grow (3 tails at Chuunin, 5 at Jounin, 9 at Bannin or Kage).
The main ability of these foxes however are their extrasensory systems. A Tsukino’s ears are laced with vibration sensitive fur that forms the basis of a network of sensory paths in their brain, allowing them to feel nearby vibration as a form of sonar-sight. This works only in a small space around them but is greatly enhanced by nearby water as the liquid vibrations carry cleanly to their ears, allowing them to hear disturbances to water especially well. Even masses of vapor such as mist transmit such vibrations well.
Without adequate water a Tsukino’s sense extends around them for (Stat Total/10) meters and can form rudimentary shapes and images in that radius but no further. Vibrations caused by water being interacted with, or vibrations traveling through water, can project much further and more clearly, up to (Stat total/5) meters out.
This advantage comes with its own downside. Much as a normal person can be blinded with intense light a Tsukino’s sense can be temporarily shorted out by intense noises. Techniques that cause conflicting vibration can also dampen their senses, but these can be overcome using techniques.
[spoiler=Merging]
The Tsukino merging process is not something done like Genma or Spirit sealing and does not require the same process. It is a physical merging of both bodies, the human and the fox, into one form. The fox is essentially consumed by the process and does not exist, linger on or in any way continue to have its own form or identity. Its chakra does not remain, and only certain abilities (the Kekkei Genkai) are passed during the process.
The merging takes place via chakra techniques that resemble Iijutsu and piece-by-piece they break the fox down into the recipient Tsukino, altering them on a genetic level. When the process is over, the Tsukino is placed inside a dark room under watch to ensure the merging takes and before long, the physical attributes become apparent, often with drastic changes and pain. When it is over, the Tsukino typically spend a few days adjusting and recovering before they return to their lives.
Tsukino shinobi are merged post-academy graduation, right before they are assigned to a team.

D-Ranked Ninjutsu
Prerequisite: Kiri-nin
Kirigakure no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique utilized by Hidden Mist Ninja. After forming the required hand seals, the ninja creates a blanket of mist which covers the area around them. The mist covers 10x10x10m area. The mist limits the visibility of those inside to 4 meters in any direction. This technique lasts a number of posts equal to 1/2 the user's Chakra Pool.
[color=lightgreen][b]Mist Anchoring[/b][/color]
D-ranked Ninjutsu
After performing the correct hand seals, a mist technique of the user will become centralized upon the user, moving at [Control] speed in an attempt to remain anchored to them. A Fuuton ninjutsu of higher [Strength] is needed to displace it, allowing the mist jutsu to be maintained easier. Additionally, the duration of the mist will be extended by 3 posts.

C-rank Ninjutsu
Prerequisite: [color=#80a0ff][b]Hidden Mist Technique[/b][/color], Mist Anchoring
After forming the required hand seals, the ninja creates a blanket of mist which covers the area around them, moving at [Control Speed attempting to remain centered on the shinobi as they move. The mist covers 30x30x30m area. The mist limits the visibility of those inside to 2 meters in any direction, while the thick mist dampens scents, weakening any advanced scent techniques. Due to the natural damping nature of this technique "Visual" and "Scent" based perception techniques loose one rank of effectiveness while inside the mist. This technique lasts a number of posts equal to the user's [Chakra Pool/2].

The user will specifically aim a fast and precise stab from his sword or other weapon(s) directly into the face/head of a target and in turn potentially the skull of his opponent. From the front the target point is usually the eye(s) of the target, being the softest target pathway into the brain and from behind is the base of the skull where it meets the spinal cord. While truly nothing more than a fast, simple stab, if landed in the right place it could easily become a fatal strike for their enemy.

D-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Detailed knowledge of the human body's vulnerabilities and weaknesses are fundamental to learning Yoshin. This Discipline represents the practitioner's knowledge of the precise location of all major organs, tendons, blood vessels, and nerve clusters on both their body and the opponent's body. This allows the practitioner to accurately target those areas even in the heat of combat.
*[color=#C71585][b][Yoshin • Ambidexterity] [/b][/color]
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.

[b]Prerequisite(s):[/b] *[i][color=#C71585][Yoshin • Prey's Anatomy][/color][/i]
Looking to cause the opponent as much pain as possible with minimal energy or effort, the practitioner launches a quickly snapping thrust meant to slip through the ribcage and lightly cut the outside of one of the opponent's lungs. Aside from causing significant pain, an opponent hit by this technique will have difficulty breathing, causing future techniques they use to take up more Endurance due to oxygen deprivation.

[b]Prerequisite(s):[/b] *[i][color=#C71585][Yoshin • Prey's Anatomy][/color][/i].
Exceptional Yoshin practitioners move beyond the basic knowledge of the body and delve more deeply into the study of the body. This Discipline represents the practitioner's knowledge of the precise location of all major and minor joints and tendons and all smaller nerve clusters on both their body and the opponent's body. This allows the practitioner to accurately target those areas even in the heat of combat.
*[b][color=#C71585][Yoshin • Cripple the Paw][/color][/b]
C-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Moving in close to the opponent, the practitioner launches a series of quick, snapping slashes and thrusts to the opponent's hands, causing deep lacerations. These cuts damage the tendons in the opponent's hands, interfering with their dexterity. These cuts cover sensitive areas between the fingers, knuckle joints, or even potentially under fingernails. While the damage caused by this technique is not life-threatening, it imposes a persisting -3 Endurance penalty on the opponent, as well as making it incredibly painful, if not impossible, for the opponent to wield a weapon with their hand or hands. This penalty can be lifted if the opponent receives medical attention.
*[b][color=#C71585][Yoshin • Shatter the Hoof][/color][/b]
C-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
A technique to disarm opponents, the practitioner launches a snapping slash or thrust at the opponent's forearm, severing several key tendons in the forearm. The damage caused to the muscles and tendons in the forearm by this technique can cause an opponent to drop whatever they are holding. Aside from being disarmed and causing significant pain, this technique also imposes a persisting -3 Strength penalty on the opponent due to the damage the muscles have sustained. This penalty can be lifted if the opponent receives medical attention.
*[b][color=#C71585][Yoshin • Bear Trap][/color][/b]
C-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Dropping low to the ground, the practitioner launches a quick, wide slash to the front of the opponent's shins. The cut targets a long nerve across the front of the shin which, if cut, can restrict the opponent's movements. Considering the size of the nerve being targeted and the relatively thin skin covering it, even cuts that only graze these nerves can be effective. Aside from causing significant pain, this technique also imposes a persisting -3 Speed penalty on the opponent due to movement of the legs becoming more difficult. This penalty can be lifted if the opponent receives medical attention.
*[b][color=#C71585][Yoshin • Incurvate Arrow][/color][/b]
C-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Targeting the opponents torso and abdomen, the practitioner launches a series of quick snapping slashes. These lashes produce a series of evenly spaced cuts across the target's abdomen and torso. While these cuts are not life-threatening, the damaged muscles prohibit the opponent from fully drawing strength from their core and back into their limbs. Aside from causing significant pain, this technique also imposes a persisting -3 Endurance penalty on the opponent due to the damage the muscles have sustained. This penalty can be lifted if the opponent receives medical attention.
*[b][color=#C71585][Yoshin • Sever the Tendon][/color][/b]
C-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Dropping low to the ground and hooking their blade around the back of an opponent's ankle, the practitioner draws a heavy slash against the ankle's tendon, immediately causing a jolt of intense pain. The pain causes even the slightest step to send shocks of pain through the nerve. Aside from causing significant pain, this technique also imposes a persisting -3 Speed penalty on the opponent due to being unable to place weight upon the foot. This penalty can be lifted if the opponent receives medical attention.

B-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
[b]Prerequisite(s):[/b] *[i][color=#C71585][Yoshin • Field Dressing][/color][/i].
Aiming to target an opponent's sensitive nerve points or nerve clusters, the practitioner launches a series of quick slashes and thrusts at wildly alternating points of the opponent's body, making this technique difficult to defend against while not compromising the practitioner's own defenses. Common targets for this technique are the front of the shoulders, underneath the armpits, the solar plexus, the forearms, and the thighs. Striking any one of these nerve clusters will send a violent shock of pain through the opponent, temporarily overloading their nervous system and causing paralysis. The opponent must have a Rigid Structure technique of equal or higher rank than this technique to resist this paralysis. Otherwise, the opponent is paralyzed until the end of their next post.

One of the few full committal techniques of Zantou, the practitioner momentarily torques the muscles in their arms. Then, in a single, explosive release, the practitioner looses a [i]kiai[/i] and two crossing diagonal slashes from opposite sides. Opponents within a number of meters equal to the practitioner's Strength must have a Will Power equal to or higher than the practitioner's Will Power to resist the [i]kiai[/i] effect. Otherwise, the opponents will suffer from minor disorientation from the disruption of the equilibrium, resulting in a -6 penalty to Speed for the next three posts. At the center of the attack, the second blade crashes into the back of the first, driving the first blade deeper into the opponent's guard, weapon, armor, or body. This technique is effective at breaking an opponent's weapon, armor, or defenses. The disorientation effect from this technique can be stacked with other disorientation effects and refreshes the post limit for any disorientation effect currently imposed on the opponents.

C-Ranked Illusion Genjutsu
This is a genjutsu technique that causes its target to see a horrifying vision. The ninja will perform some hand seals, one handed if using a weapon, and point their weapon directly at the target in question. Once cast, the world will appear normal to the target until they see the illusion. The illusion is at the discretion of the user. However, the visual is a short vision as directly in front of them near the user appears the most valued person in the target's life (best friend, family member, lover, ect) appear in front of Hisato facing the target. The target will see and hear as the user's kills that person either through stabbing them in the back through their heart as the blade exits their chest or through him decapitating them causing their body to fall upon to the ground remaining there for the next four post. Each post this genjutsu persists a new person will appear in front of Hisato that the target values (friend or family member) and he will kill them.
[b]*[color=#CDC1C5][Genjutsu • Burning to Death][/color][/b]
C-Ranked Illusion Genjutsu
This is a genjutsu technique which can be used in quite a few ways. The user forms a hand seal, and as long as the opponent(s) see it, then the genjutsu will begin. The user and the opponent(s) will both light on fire and start to burn, from the feet up to the head, in the opponent's mind. The opponent will normally start to panic and try to get rid of the fire, especially since they feel as if they were in actual pain. This genjutsu lasts for 4 posts and will not appear to be able to be extinguished, no matter what the victim does. The illusion is very static, in the sense that it doesn't change with the environment, it merely creates an illusory flame and pain.
[b]*[color=#CDC1C5][Genjutsu • Reverse Hypnosis][/color][/b]
C-Ranked Status Genjutsu
This is a three post genjutsu. To start the genjutsu, the ninja does the hand seals that are needed and then places a hand on the target. Until the genjutsu ends the target is able to remember a lot more about their past and has a lighter barrier over their consciousness making it easier for them to spill information. This doesn’t weaken their will, however, meaning if they are aware, it’s a genjutsu, they are more than capable of using Kai.

[spoiler=Historical Accounts]
Born into the Tsukino clan, the young man even at birth had high expectations placed upon him from his father, Hyoui. His father was a powerful jounin who had hopes of becoming a member of the swordsman but hadn't managed to reach the level in his swords arts and personal strength to be recognized by the organization. Thus, as a child the man had already forced upon the child as soon as he could hold a wooden sword to begin training with it. While his mother, Nuwa, didn't really approve of this she didn't stop her husband.
His childhood wasn't about being a child or playing around with other children, but training to be a shinobi from his father's strenuous daily routines as he reached the age of eight and was brought into the academy already having a base knowledge of taijutsu, ninjutsu, and genjutsu from personal lessons and daily training that really 'beat' it into the young child.
It only took two years for him to complete the academy, successfully taking the life of a rough looking beggar outside the village to truly seat the act of killing into the boy, as was the Kiri way. Two things occurred as he graduated, the first being his father bestowing upon him a rare sword that he had found while on a mission near Earth country and secondly was the ritual fusing of Hisato with the young fox from the Tsukino house elders through their special means.
Just as Hisato was about to truly begin his career as a genin, the Great War began and all the experienced jounin and chuunin were sent out on dangerous missions as the entire shinobi and minor country world became embroiled in bloody conflict that lasted five years. Though he was able to undertake missions the novice shinobi weren't of much help and were sent to do takes that at most had them venturing around Water country. During the war his mother died, and his father lost and arm and had injured his leg beyond repair to the point it was amputated below the knee.
Five long years before peace returned, though it was a shaky one. Under the rough hand of his father, Hisato continued to train in the sword and as a shinobi. Slowly forming his own goal to join the Mist Swords. Not because of his father's own personal desires but to show that man that he was better and stronger than him. To place the man in the shadows and for him to rise to become known...

Description: A sword with a slender metallic hand-crafted hilt of a dark purple and black metal six inches in length, meant for being wielded with a single hand and from the hilt extended a clear blade that seemed to be forged from some sort of rare crystalline material. The blade is rather thin and long, being less than an eighth of an inch thick, two inches in width, and thirty inches in total length. Sheathed over the man's left shoulder in a plane black sheath.
