Picture:
Personality:- General: An experienced shinobi that had the pleasure or curse of living through two separate wars, giving him a rather stoic outer appearance and a calm demeanor from these experiences, never truly getting overly excited about anything life throws at him. The ability to remain calm under pressure and thrive in combat due to seeing what worked and didn't work in real life has led his approach to life and battle with a strategic mindset. Able to understand that sacrifice is inevitable in conflict, that not everyone can be saved. After experiencing this the man began to believe that he had reached a point within the confines of the Leaf village that he truly couldn't continue to grow stronger because of the rules and laws that governed it.
Choosing in the end to leave the village, though this is not to say he is a monster or murderous individual like many who leave their village, more so he is one that is seeking the keys to grow stronger, to walk his own path as a man and as a shinobi. Having developed an understanding that good and bad are just relative to one's point of view in the world, all people strive to become stronger or have more than they do right now, but he will stand up for blatant wrongdoing that violates his own moral or ethical believes.
When by himself, far away from the life of constant stress and danger, one could consider a rather mellow and laid-back type of individual who enjoys relaxing with nice meal and a cup of alcohol, perhaps many wouldn't even tell that he was a war hardened veteran. In his down time the man is an avid reader, enjoying learning about the history of the world along with many other genres, even known to dive into a dark fantasy novel from time-to-time. The man is even somewhat of an accomplished artist in his spare time as well, finding it a method to aid him in relaxing and clearing his head when something has him frustrated.
- Hopes/Dreams: To one day reach a level of strength to return the peaceful world that he knew as a young kid, one where he can simply read books and draw the occasional painting while enjoying a cup of warm sake.
- Fears: Another great war.
- Combat Mentality: A mid-ranged fighter relying on his shadow techniques to combat threats.

| First Ability |
Touch of DarknessShow Name: Touch of Darkness Ability Prerequisite: Eiketsu Concentrations Description: Nara Shiwoo has developed a method through contact and experimentation with undead spiritual chakra to taint his very shadow chakra, to include those shadows that he creates through all Eiketsu concentrations, creating a chakra poison that spreads through the infected person's entire chakra network affecting their muscles and body. Having a rather venomous effect that poisons those whose shadow or person that comes into contact with it through temporarily draining the speed and strength of that person while infected. This is a static debuff based on the user's [Control] stat for the debuff and [Power Rank] posts for the runtime of the chakra poison. *Note: Like a normal static debuff, this effect may be stacked up to three times, through being hit with different techniques not continuous contact with a single technique.

NinjutsuShow
FuuinShow
*[Fuuinjutsu • Air Sealing]
D-Ranked Fuuinjutsu
A truly unique move in that it can be used alongside other Fuuinjutsu, by channeling into their finger as they draw in the air directly in front of them, the user releases raw chakra the lingers for a small amount of time, allowing it to be used as a seal formula. Alternatively, the user can also do hand seals and place their hands forward, causing a seal to burst to life in the air in front of them. This technique consumes chakra equal to the cost of the technique.
*[Dimensional Fuuinjutsu • Tool Storage]
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
After drawing a seal formula on a surface, ensuring it is large enough for the object that is about to be stored. The user will then begin placing the object into the seal. The user can only seal objects up to their ([Control])m^3 in size.
*[Augment Fuuinjutsu • Explosive Device]
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
The user will draw a fuuinjutsu seal on the surface of an object. Should the seal be activated with [Chakra Kai] it will explode with [Control] strength of whoever performed the [Chakra Kai].This destroys the object the seal is placed on.
*[Barrier Fuuinjutsu • Simple Barrier]
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
The user will draw a fuuinjutsu up to [Control] meters in diameter. Upon activation with kai, the fuuinjutsu will produce a barrier with [Control] strength. The barrier is a basic cube and has no special properties.
*[Dimestional Fuuinjutsu • Sealing Defense]
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
By having an empty surface with a seal formula placed on it, the user is able to use the seal as a defensive measure. Holding a single, one-handed hand seal, the user attempts to block the incoming projectile with the surface. Right before contact is actually made, the projectile will be sealed into the seal. This seal can protect up to the users [Control] in Strength. Once used to seal and then release again, the seal will need to be rewritten.
*[Dimensional Fuuinjutsu • Storage Strike]
C-Ranked Ninjutsu
Used in conjunction with storage seals, the user will perform [Kai] on a seal causing it to launch an object stored within it, as if they were thrown at a strength of the user’s [Control]. The three objects will be released in a small spread, only a few inches apart from each other.
*[Fuuinjutsu • Tattoo]
C-Ranked Ninjutsu
The user can inscribe fuuinjutsu on a surface to have a ‘permanent’ quality. While standard Barrier and Augment fuuinjutsu disappear after usage, fuuinjutsu applied with this technique remain after deactivation. The user must pay full chakra to re-activate the technique, but this allows them to maintain techniques that are more effective with multiple uses
*[Augment Fuuinjutsu • Strengthen]
C-Ranked Ninjutsu
After drawing the necessary seals on the object, the user will imbue the object with a strength equal to their [Control]. The size of this fuuinjutsu is contextual in terms of the object it is applied to and the strength it is enhanced to. For example, if imbued with 50 strength the object will have 90% of its surface space covered, while if only imbued with 25 strength roughly under half of its surface space would be taken up by the seal.
*[Barrier Fuuinjutsu • Freeforme]
C-Ranked Ninjutsu
The user must create between 3 and 10 seals, within any 3 sequences of seals being within 30m of each other. Once the seals a placed, the user(s) perform [Kai] on all the seals simultaneously. This will create a barrier with [Control] strength that will encircle the escribed seals, creating a shape based on how many seals there are, with each seal being a vertex for the planes that connect to it. This allows users to create barriers that go around specific obstacles or have specific shapes.
*[Dimensional Fuuinjutsu • Link]
C-Ranked Ninjutsu
By performing the necessary hand seals, the user will then touch their target’s ear and on the lips, this creates a dimensional space that works as an audio link between themselves and any targets they personally place this seal combination on. While hearing is always active, channeling chakra into the seal allows affected targets to speak, their words being stored and transmitted to the other seals. The act of speaking charges negligent chakra.
*[Dimensional Fuuinjutsu • Perfect Redirection
A-Ranked Ninjutsu
The user must draw two copies of this fuuinjutsu, most often one they carry on themselves as a tag and one they place at a location outside of combat. The user will throw the tag at a projectile or jutsu and perform [Chakra Kai] activating the fuuinjutsu. Upon activation, the fuuinjutsu will activate, and whatever it contacts next will move into the dimensional space and then be immediately ejected at the opposite seal. This can be used to avoid opponent attacks, but also to redirect them back at the opponent.
*[Dimensional Fuuinjutsu • Sudden Escape]
S-Ranked Ninjutsu
The user must draw two copies of this fuuinjutsu, most often one they carry on themselves and one they place at a location outside of combat. Upon performing [kai] on one of the seals, it will open, and the user is able to vanish into it. When they do, the opposite seal will automatically activate and force the user out of it, allowing them to instantly teleport to the location. Anyone the user is touching upon activation will move with them as well, if they do not resist. The seals must be within [Control]m of each other in order for this technique to work, otherwise it fails.

History
Historical AccountsShow
Nearly four decades from the present day, a newborn baby was welcomed into a small family with the Nara clan, a new tree planted within the forest and the dark eyed baby introduced to the guardian dear that approached with no fear the sleeping infant to gently sniff at his hairless head before giving it a gentle lick. A family rich in history and tradition, Shiwoo was an only child to his two loving parents, they each cared for their son while balancing their busy life within the politics of the clan and missions as shinobi. Growing slowly while learning about the many house traditions that the members were expected to observe, something that as a young child were difficult to do but in turn through the constant mentoring of his close and extended family did the boy learn about the meaning of patience.
At the age of six he was taught the game of Shogi, taught the basics of the strategy game just as he would begin his first classes at the academy. During his academy years, the boy found himself in the middle of the pack for most things, neither falling behind nor seeming to stand out in any significant way. But even at that age the boy did this out of want, as he wanted to be able to do his own thing and being too good or too bad just put the eyes of others on you. The small child slowly grew and before even he realized it, he was graduating from the academy alongside a few of his fellow Nara members and a handful of good friends that he had managed to make along the way. A small, simple crafting knife known as a Kiridashi was gifted to him by his father, a traditional graduation gift given to the youth of the Nara in order to teach them a lesson. The meaning behind this seemingly inconsequential gift becomes apparent as the fledgling Nara grows wiser to the ways of the world and their place in it.
As a genin at the age of twelve, he was assigned like all the other newly graduating shinobi to a traditional genin team consisting of himself and two other genin from his class with a jounin mentor to help guide them and continue to grow and expand on the knowledge and experiences that were gained from the academy. Undertaking the simplest of missions such as looking for lost animals to escorting young nobles within the confines of Fire country. It wouldn't be till after he was promoted to the rank of chuunin did the unstable world begin to fall into the chaos of war, exposing the young teenager who was only fifteen to the true horrors of conflict between shinobi who competed to survive and kill their opponent. Performing a number of the Nara Forest Funeral Rites for his fallen family members.
Though the war would finally end, it was something that had reshaped the mentality of young man who had experienced his prime years of being a chuunin and finally a jounin at war, forming a battle hardened and strategic mindset to all things in life. At this time the man was nineteen, when he was promoted to jounin, as the world started to settle into another uneasy peace as other countries began to reshape and form as the countries such as Iron, Crescent, and the Heart Empire and their names were starting to float about. It was first as a jounin that Shiwoo was able to experience the Nara house traditions that he'd missed during the fast paced and hectic times during the war such as The Day of Shadow Communion, Tea Ceremony of Light and Shadow, and even the Nara District Shogi Tournament though he only ranked in the middle of the pack normally, only breaking the top ten on a few occasions.
It was around this time that the man started actually reading, it was something he started to find an outlet for the memories of war and loss, everyone finds some way to deal with the troubles of the past. This was around the age of thirty, was when he started to come to a certain understanding within himself, this realization within him was that due to the state of the village and the clan, he could no longer grow as a person or shinobi. It felt almost suffocating as he believed that the longer, he remained within these borders and bound by these strict rules of conduct he would remain stunted. At the age of 35, he journeyed out to the Nara Forest, finding the tree that was planted for him on his birth, cutting it down and then stabbing into it his Kiridashi knife that he had carried with him since graduating the academy. Like a ghost he disappeared from the village and only reports of him from time-to-time pop up, last report was him being spotted with another missing-nin from Konoha, Hyuuga Tetsuo.
