Shinkirou Hissori Character Creation [COMPLETE]

Name: Shinkirou Hissori

Age: 23

Gender: Male

Village: Sunagakure

Rank: Jounin

Physical Appearance: Hissori is exactly 6’0 tall and not a hair over or under. He has an average build for his height. His hair is jet black and stands up in short spikes but tends to be hidden under a bandana style forehead protector tied at the back of his head. His most distinguishing facial feature is a gash from the centre of his forehead running over the top of his eyebrow and down his cheek. His right arm has a tattoo of his clan’s logo on the shoulder while his left has a tattoo of the Sand village logo. His forearms are covered with forearm protectors leading down to fingerless gloves. He wears a simple, plain black fitted sleeveless jersey under a Sand village flak jacket, the bottom of his black top flare out of the bottom of the flak jacket and covers the waist line of his trousers which are full length but bandaged off around his shins and calves. He also wears simple black ninja sandals on his feet. His katana sword is strapped across his back over the right shoulder.

Personality: Hissori is a man of inner conflict. He both loves and hates himself as much as he loves and hates his village and his job as a Ninja. This has lead to Hissori having two distinct personalities, one is that which only shows itself in his head, the other the face of a man that the village sees. However, he is of one mind and doesn’t have any kind of split personality, he chooses to behave differently in front of people, even those closest to him than when he is on his own.

When around others he is an active member of any team, concerned for the well being of those around him and a happy and confident ninja. He is very patient with his subordinates and very respectful of his superiors. While he may be very focused on the task at hand he will always make sure those around him are united and on the same page when undertaking any task and would die for anyone fighting at his side.

In his private moments, when nobody else can hear him he is a much more sober person. He enjoys his time alone and believes he is a stronger ninja when left to his own devices but feels guilty for not wanting help from those around him who offer it so freely. He suffers from spates of depression that once drove him to the edge of insanity. In the silence of the night he tosses and turns in his sleep thinking about whether he really wants to be a ninja or whether he was put on this path by his family when he should have no part of it. This makes him angry and short tempered, the only personality trait of this side of him which the village is aware of due to a self inflicted revenge mission.

When stressed or in a situation he does not control the two personalities can begin to clash and he has to fight battles within his own head to suppress those traits that would harm those closest to him. He believes he is a ticking bomb and could explode at any moment and the only way he can prevent this is to shut himself off from the village whenever he gets the chance. However, his mental instability is known by the village at large and they try to help him in ways he isn’t aware of.

Background:
Pre-Academy Years
Of the seven Shinkirou Clan families Hissori was born into the largely male family, there was his father and three older brothers and finally, his mother, the only girl in this family. His father was the only son of the current ruling Clan Leader (in this clan the leader is the most powerful ninja, there is not ruling family). He had an aunt on his fathers side who was several years older than his father, she had two children herself, both girls and both older than all of Hissori’s brothers. Hissori’s brother’s each had unique relationships with him. When Hissori was 3 his youngest brother Keitaku (4) was his closest friend, they went everywhere and did everything together. His next brother Susamaru (5) had little to do with Hissori and had just started at the Ninja Academy, he was more interested in his other brother, and the eldest of the four, Koden, who himself had even less time for Hissori and at 8 years old was already excelling at the Academy. It was at this time that the family was blessed with another child, this time a girl and they named her Karai. Unfortunately for the young boy ninjas and their father, the birth cost their mother her life and while Hissori was too young to fully understand the implications he grew up faster than many children. His relationship with all of his brothers became strained and his elder brother Koden blamed Karai for causing their mothers death, as such while his father tried to keep the family together and his three other brothers trained (now all in the academy) Hissori would spend his time playing with his sister until the day came for him also to go to the Academy.

Academy Years
It was on his first day in the Academy that Hissori would meet the boy that would become his life long friend, Maikeru. They didn’t have much in common, Maikeru was an only child from a well off family that had no particular abilities, whereas Hissori was one of many siblings from a large clan that had little money despite their abilities. Despite this they got on fantastically from the start and Hissori saw Maikeru as another brother. While neither of them were rude or mischievous they would constantly find themselves in trouble with their teachers. Despite this they encouraged each other in their studies and training and while other children were becoming part of larger social groups during break times Hissori and Maikeru were content to sit in the corner of the training ground and play among themselves, talking about what great ninjas they would be when they graduated. Hissori’s experience at the Academy wasn’t strictly his own. He was the fourth Shinkirou son to go through the academy in as many years and of the seven families 3 of them had children in the academy at the time. This lead to many of them spending time with each other during breaks but Hissori rarely accepted invitations to join them, preferring to spend more time on his own or with Maikeru. He was in his final year, all of his brothers having passed with flying colours, when his sister Karai joined the academy and he and Maikeru took her under their wings and guided her through the trials of the first few weeks in school but again the time came when he had to leave her to forge her own path, the graduation exams were upon them. Hissori reluctantly passed, he didn’t want to leave his sister, yet he didn’t want to stay in the Academy, it was the first inner conflict of many to come for the young Suna Ninja.

Genin Years
At the age of 13 Hissori was placed in a Genin squad with his best friend Maikeru under the tutorage of a Jounin Kunoichi called Ryuuyuki. Their fourth member was a young Kunoichi named Souzou. Hissori and Maikeru agreed that they had both been very unlucky, neither Kunoichi looked very womanly to them. After several smaller mission around Wind Country they got severely scolded for leaving Souzou out of their plans and activities and told that team work was very important, a lesson that would lead to another cause of inner conflict for Hissori. This is because of their first mission outside of Wind Country. It was a simple enough mission, go to the River Country pick up some documents from a drop off point in the town and take them back Sunagakure. It was a standard mission that Genin squads did all the time, the documents were just low grade intelligence reports on Iwagakure including things like how many ninja they had and how many clients Iwa had within the River country. This time however, the situation got out of hand. The drop off hand been screwed up and Iwagakure Nins were waiting in the River Country capital and watching the drop off point. Hissori’s squad walked straight into the trap. In the battle that ensued Souzou was severely injured. Following his Sensei’s previous lesson Hissori dove in to save her. His Sensei got to him just in time as a katana sliced down across his face cutting him from the forehead to his temple, splitting his forehead protector in two. If his teacher had not pushed his head down it would have been his head flying through the air not his forehead protector. The squad was able to escape but Souzou was badly wounded and Hissori was scolded again, this time for almost getting himself killed for a ninja who was likely to die anyway. Over the next few days Hissori struggled to understand why he had been punished for excluding a team mate and saving a team mate. He was forced to push his emotions out of the way however as the situation escalated in a few days. Battle lines were being drawn between Iwa and Suna. The timing of all of this couldn’t have been worse as the next day Hissori and Maikeru’s squad were set to leave for Konoha and the Chuunin exam.

It was a hard exam for his squad, their team work had improved by Souzou’s injuries overwhelmed her and she died in the second stage of the test. Hissori and Maikeru proceeded with the test while carrying her body. They achieved the objective and reached the tower with both scrolls but again were scolded for carrying the burden of the young kunoichi’s dead body. A month later and the situation between Iwa and Suna was getting incredibly tense, even in Konoha there were rumours that a full blown war was inevitable and the rumours knocked Hissori and Maikeru’s confidence, they were both knocked out in the first round of the finals but Hissori, showing a true aptitude for his clans special abilities wowed the audience as he disappeared in the middle of his battle in a heat haze only to reappear at his enemies back and slice his Katana across the other Genin’s back. The manoeuvre cost him a huge amount of chakra and the return attack, as the Genin spun around and thrust a Kunai into Hissori’s neck cost him lot of blood as well. Neither competitor made it through to the next round. This was the first and last time Hissori and Maikeru had ever had to fight each other to the brink of death.

As they recovered in the Konoha hospital at each others side, their Sensei came to visit. She had news from home. Souzou’s body had been taken back to Suna and her family had sent their thanks to the boys for making sure they had a body to bury. The other news was not so welcome. War had broken out between Suna and Iwa and they were needed at home. There was further bad new for Hissori, his two middle brothers had been killed during a skirmish on the Wind country border, his eldest brother was also in the battle but had survived and was now being initiated into the ANBU and would therefore have nothing more to do with his family. In one battle Hissori had lost three of his brothers, two to the grave and one to the shadows of the ANBU organisation. It nearly broke him as he lay in bed, unable to move his head until his Sensei gave the final blow. His sister, a newly promoted Genin was already being sent to the front lines to provide support for the Chuunin. Hissori demanded that he be allowed to leave Konoha immediately and the doctors agreed, together he and Maikeru limped back to Suna.

Chuunin Years
As they were both injured the journey took them several days longer, each day a messenger hawk found Hissori. It was sent by his father to update him on the clan’s status. They were taking heavy losses, one of the seven families had been completely wiped out but his sister was ok. There was an uncertainty in his father’s hand writing that Hissori was unfamiliar with. By the time the squad returned home the small war had been halted, the Kage’s had talked openly with each other via direct messenger birds and they had agreed to end the conflict before each village became too weak to defend itself from other villages. At the gates of Suna Hissori and Maikeru were met by each of their families, Hissori’s father and sister and Maikeru’s parents. There was a day of rest and relaxation before the funeral of those who died from the Shinkirou Clan, among them Hissori’s two brother and his Grandfather, the former Leader of the Shinkirou Clan. It was a huge blow to the Genin, made worse because his eldest and last brother had not been at the funeral. In the days that followed his father became increasingly delirious to the point that Hissori and his sister could no longer live there, the clan was leaderless and the village was struggling to regain its full strength. Hissori was called to the Kazekage’s office a week after his return. He was a kind Kage and spoke openly with Hissori (now 15) about the state of the Shinkirou Clan. That was the day he was promoted to Chuunin in the presence of his sister and best friend Maikeru.

Over the course of the next month Hissori and Maikeru, who had not been promoted, moved into a flat of their own just outside of the Shinkirou Clan’s residential area. Hissori’s father had grown increasingly deranged and on a cold winter night had slipped out of his now abandoned home. Hissori followed his father through the streets of Suna but said nothing, he knew he could say nothing as he watched his father head to the village gates. Hissori waved the guards away and followed his father out into the desert, the wind carried his father’s final words to Hissori’s ears as he cut his own throat “Is a Shinobi’s life worth living if it costs so little to take it?” With that the moonlit sand was coloured dark crimson and Hissori watched as his father slumped in the sand and died. He didn’t cry, Shinobi don’t cry.

With his father’s passing Hissori made sure a new leader was appointed. He wanted his brother to take the title but that was not an option, his place was with the ANBU now. Instead his Aunt was made the leader of the clan and Hissori withdrew from them even further as he and Maikeru moved across the village.

Several years passed and Hissori and Maikeru had grown apart while Maikeru and Hissori’s sister had grown ever closer. They had both been made Chuunin and decided they wanted to live together. Maikeru moved out and left Hissori alone with his thoughts. For the first time since he was born Hissori was alone. He filled the void with missions of all sorts, some more risky than others and he worked with all kinds of ninja from Sunagakure but none of them could understand the way his head worked now. He was a patient young man of 20 years old, an accomplished Chuunin who had served in the Academy as a teacher for two years and lead his classes to record high grades. But in battle, when the stress became too high he became aggressive and the tactics and strategies he made his teams run through became increasingly risky. He had been in command of squads before when members of his team had been killed but it was at this point when his own actions alone lead to the death of one of his subordinates. The shock lead him to withdraw further from the village. Those around him tried to comfort him and gradually he regained his confidence. He decided he had to leave the village for a while and set out on a long journey of self discovery. Over this time he was able to reconcile his split personality types and take control of them thus avoiding the same mental illness that destroyed his father. He returned to the village aged 23 and the welcoming arms of Maikeru and Karai. He jumped back into the missions he was sent on and began to make a name for himself again. Now he is being considered by the Kazekage for promotion to Jounin.

Clan Name: Shinkirou (Mirage)

Special Ability: Shinkirou Kaibyaku (Mirage Creation)
Introduction: The Shinkirou clan’s abilities are not strictly a Kekkei Genkai but they are abilities and techniques unique to the clan which are a closely guarded secret. The Mirage techniques are split into two main types: Shinkirou Shissou (Mirage Disappearance) and Shinkirou Yousu (Mirage Appearance).

Shinkirou Shissou (Mirage Disappearance) is a variation of the Meisai Gakure no Jutsu (Camouflage Concealment Technique) but as it is one of the first techniques taught to the ninja in the clan it is not as high a rank. The main difference is that rather than disappearing completely the user appears as a shimmer of hot air as can be seen on the horizon on a hot day. This is itself split into various techniques for making small object, people or larger object disappear. The lower level Jutsu require the user to be in direct contact with the item they are making ‘disappear’ while the higher level techniques can be project along undisrupted line of sight. (Explained more in strengths and weaknesses below)

Shinkirou Yousu (Mirage Appearance) is focused on making things appear to be somewhere they are not, in that respect it combines element of the Bunshin no Jutsu types and the Henge no Jutsu types. Like the Disapearence techniques the lower level require direct chakra manipulation e.g. making it look as if the ninja is holding hostage at knife point when there is not really a hostage there. However, again as before, higher level techniques involve projection along the line of sight. (Explained more in strengths and weaknesses below)

Uses: The more advanced users are able to combine these two types in order to achieve some of the uses for Shinkirou Kaibyaku techniques. The possible uses are limited in battle as the mirages have no physical form and limited movement and the disappearance techniques require large amounts of both chakra and concentration. However, they are ideally suited to reconnaissance, intelligence gathering and ambush and decoy setup where misdirection and conflict avoidance are key to a successful mission.

Strengths: These techniques have the possibility to make the user practically invisible for a period of time, making infiltration and intelligence gathering a much simpler task. In battle it can be used to escape or evade capture or simply to hide the user’s movements from the enemy. They are also strong techniques when it comes to setting up ambushes or decoys away from the actual target as they enable the user to cast an image of a desired object such as a hostage or document of importance in an area well away from the intended target thus serving to protect them/it. The more advanced users will be able to hide an entire building or project an image of a building.

Weaknesses: There are several weaknesses to all techniques in this ability set. Lower level techniques require direct chakra manipulation so that the user must be in contact with the object they want to make disappear, once this is achieved it consumers chakra at an incredible rate. (In battle a Jounin user could only disguise their body for three posts) However even when disguised the shimmering air side effect can be detected by a keen eye and the Sharingan and Byakugan have no problems seeing through the technique.

A further weakness is regarding the projection techniques. While the user can make distant object disappear they must keep the object within their line of site and without foreign chakra disrupting the flow from the user to the object. E.g. the user projects a mirage of an assassin’s target into a clearing in a wood, if the assassin were to step into the line of sight between user and mirage the mirage would disappear instantly as the assassin’s chakra has disrupted the users flow. A final related weakness is regarding the movement of a mirage object. The more it moves and the more complex its movements the more chakra is used up, line of sight must also be maintained with the moving object. E.g. a kunai that travels in a straight line will consume less chakra than a spinning fuuma shuriken travelling in an arch which will consume less chakra again than a mirage of a ninja running.

Speed, degree of movement and complexity of shape of the mirage all determine how much chakra is absorbed whether it is an appearance or disappearance technique.

Clan History:
The Shinkirou Clan is said to have originated in Iwagakure due to their familiarity with concealment type Jutsu. The reasons that lead them away from Iwagakure have long been forgotten by both villages however some elders in the clan maintain that it was because the Tsuchikage at the time had tried to force the clan to divulge the secrets of their technique to him and when the refused he had ordered them all killed. The fact that no Shinkirou techniques are used by any of the Iwagakure Ninja’s is a testament to the escape and evasion skills of the clan.

It is unknown how long the Shinkirou Clan sold their services to various Governments as an independent clan before they were recruited by Sunagakure to help with a problem they had with Konoha. Sunagakure believed Konoha were a dramatic threat to them but had no proof of a Leaf plan to destroy the Sand. All of their spies had failed to uncover any information on the alleged plans for a strike but the Kazekage would not authorize an attack on Konoha without good reason. Because of his demands the Elders of Suna sent out several squads to track down the mysterious Shinkirou Clan. One squad succeeded by literally walking into a shimmering wall. The Sunagakure squad had inadvertently ran straight into the main house of the Shinkirou Clan that was hidden deep within the jungle and even then it was hidden with a mirage maintained at all times by Shinkirou Clan members within the building. The Suna squad was then confronted by Shinkirou Nins that had been tracking them and after several meetings they agreed to help Suna.

The Shinkirou intelligence gathering operations went well and they were able to recover a lot of sensitive information from Konoha, however none of it pointed to a plan to attack Suna. Unfortunately during one of the final intel raids a Shinkirou ninja was uncovered by the Hyuuga clan and killed on site. However, having no affiliation to any village Konoha had nobody to blame and assumed the clan was working on it’s own. Hours before the autopsy to uncover the body’s secrets was due to begin the body mysteriously disappeared. In payment for the loss of life and in way of gratitude to the clan the Kazekage and the Elders of Suna offered the Shinkirou Clan asylum within the village along with the understanding that they would never ask the clan to reveal their secrets. Shinkirou agreed and was absorbed into the growing Village hidden in the Sand, thus a new era for the clan was born.

The clan has enjoyed a comfortable time within the village and in service to the Kazekage and the Wind Country. They have been hired many times in order to create decoys for meeting places of the Lord of Wind Country. In times of war their decoys, recon skills and abilities to create perfect mirages of an environment for ambushes have made them valuable asset both on and off the battlefield and the Clan have members at all levels of the Village from Academy students to ANBU. There are currently seven Shinkirou families within the clan. Unlike most clans it’s leadership does not reside with a main family but instead, as with the Kage’s, power lies with the most powerful Ninja in the clan. The current leader is Hissori’s Aunt, the older sister of his late Father who would have been the Clan’s leader had he not been mentally destroyed by the event explained in Hissori’s character background.

Hmm, Though I understand this is WIP, there are already a few things wrong. One, you may only have 2 elements. Two, you may only have to specialties. Other than that it's a great app and I can't wait to see it finished

Ok I'll get them changed now, thanks for letting me know.

Rp Sample:

Shinkirou Hissori had been traveling for a year and the money he had when he left Sunagakure had almost dried up. It is that which led him to hire his skills out to an old blacksmith which in turn led him to a rusty old shack in the middle of a clearing somewhere in the grass county.

'I was hoping to avoid this kind of situation when I left Sunagakure on my trip.' He thought. There was a dense forest all around the clearing with a single rusty hut to one side. Hissori was crouching on a thick sticky branch as he surveyed the area. ”Track down my son and bring him home, however much he doesn’t want you too, you must force him but keep him in a good working condition.” Those were the words of the old blacksmith as he had hobbled around his workshop sharpening Hissori’s tools back in the Grass country capital city. Hissori had pressed him for information on the matter but all he had been told was that the blacksmith was getting too old and frail for work and that it was time for his son to take over. Hissori had wondered why his client hadn’t hired native Grass ninjas to find his son but couldn’t get an answer. Still, money was money, so there he was.

The hut itself was nothing special, rusted corrugated iron made walls and cracked tiled rook barely. There was one door and one window with shutters but no glass. The forest had been kept at bay by a myriad of grass and wood cutting tools leaning against the side of the hut and the grassy dirty area around the front of the hut was well trodden. The most disturbing aspect for Hissori were the six wooden posts dotted around the perimeter of the clearing, atop each one was a skull covered in green mould and dirt, but more importantly to Hissori’s keen eyes, each was wearing a ninja forehead protector. From his position he saw that they appeared to be ninjas from the Hidden Grass. 'I guess that’s why the old man didn’t hire Grass nins, this guy looks like a wanted criminal, probably B rank if not higher.' That was enough convincing for Hissori to be extra careful. He formed the Shinkirou hand seal. “Konpaku Mane no Jutsu” He whispered under his breath. From his feet upwards his body started to disappear, replaced by a shimmering heat haze effect like those seen on the horizon on a hot day. He sat still for a moment, watching and listening. There were a few birds around but nothing out of the ordinary. He weighed up his options. 'Stay in the forest and skirt around the perimeter to find out if he is here or in the jungle…no, I can’t. I might be hard to see but I’ll still move the foliage as I push through it. If he’s here he will see the movement or hear me. I’ll have to use the open clearing.'

Hissori hopped off the branch and onto the hard dry dirt. The branch shook as his weight left it. He didn’t have a chance to react before the door swung open and two handfuls of shuriken were launched over his head and into the forest, spraying cut leaves everywhere and embedding themselves in the branch he’d just occupied. Hissori froze, trying to see the attacker, but there was just an empty doorway, then he realised the shredded leaves falling around him were landing on his head and shoulders. His eyes widened with the realization. A shadow appeared in front of him and his eyes went to sky, blocking out the sun was a shadow of a man coming straight at him. Hissori lost control of his Jutsu and he was revealed to his assailant. He ducked and rolled into the centre of the clearing and the man landed where he had just been standing. Dust puffing our from under his knee and a disgusting crack that was either the earth or his knee. 'Seconds in and I’m already on the back foot.'. As he scrambled towards the open doorway his enemy was already on his feet and drawing a samurai sword from its sheath. 'He’s meant to be my target, not the other way around!' Hissori was on the verge of panicking when his training kicked in and he remembered the tiles on the hut at his back. His hands flashed in a series of hand seals as the enemy charged him. "Kawara Shuriken!" The tiles levitated and span towards the enemy. Hissori didn’t wait to see if they hit, he was already performing another string of hand seals. “Doro Gaeshi"[Mud Overturn] He slammed his fists into the ground and turned over a wall of earth up out of the ground and shut himself inside the rusty hut. 'I hope there’s nobody in here.' A tense bead of sweat ran down his cheek as he felt the air around him. It was dark and cold in the hut and the mud wall blocking the door stopped most of the light getting in. As Hissori’s eyes adjusted in the darkness he could just make out that the hut was empty of anything at all other than a few tools, pans and a sleeping matt. For a second his split personality took over.
'Great, how am I going to get out of here now?'
'It’s cold and lonely in here'.
'Yeah but there’s a guy trying to kill us outside.'
'Sometime’s I hate being a ninja.'
'Sometimes I love being a Ninja' He took a deep breath and began thinking about his next move, wondering what the solitary figure outside was going to do now.

Are you telling me that all of your posts are going to be about this long? If not please post one of your average posts.

Name:Domu - Earth Spear
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Earth
Description: This is an earth based technique used as a last ditch defence. The user hardens their body like stone in order to defend against many types of attack. However, it consumers large amounts of chakra, can slow the user down if they are not a highly skilled ninja and has a natural weakness to lightning based Jutsu.
This is the same as the hardening technique, which is S rank.

Kage Bunshin is actually B rank.

Lol Sorry, looks like I got a little carried away there.

I'll correct those rankings you pointed out.

New RP sample:

Hissori back flipped out of the way as a dozen shuriken hit the ground all around him, He skidded backwards leaving a trail in the snow.‘Damn it!’ He thought and cursed himself for his stupidity. Looking down at his body he saw he hadn’t been able to dodge all of the shuriken and he’d taken a few hits in his legs and stomach. Blood was starting to trickle from several of the wounds. ‘Focus. We can get through this.'
'No we can’t.'
'Well we have to!.’ He told himself and brought his head back up.

A chill wind blew across his face and snow started to settle on him as his breath clouded. He was used to deserts of sand not deserts of snow. He had only come to the Snow country because he’d been told it was the best place to train fire style Jutsu and now he was being attacked my Snow Village ninja. “What have I done to you?” he panted, long clouds of breath billowing outwards but he got no reply. Instead he saw the Snow ninja charge him. ‘Now or never’ His hands weaved the hand signs and with a degree of doubt in his voice he declared “Housenka no Jutsu!” and jumped forward and upwards, flipping over the charging ninja and raining fire balls down onto their position. As his feet touched the ground his hand was on his katana, drawing it and bringing it down to bare, trying to slice his enemy across the back or maybe take a limb off.

Well then, It's seems it is time for you to be APPROVED
