[/PTab][PTab=Personality]

Hourou, while impatient and easily frustrated, is caring and easy to get along with. His anger is easy to rouse, but just as easy to calm down. He has a complex about proving his worth as a samurai, given his inability to properly channel chakra, and is keen to fight anyone who he sees as a challenge. Unless he is in a life or death fight though, he rarely takes the fight seriously, cracking jokes and complimenting his opponent. The quickest way to his friendship is through a bottle of sake.
[/PTab][PTab=Appearance and Attire]

Hourou wears a samurai's hakama, comprised of lots a greys and blacks, as taken from the clan colours. Underneath, though, he breaks from tradition to wear mesh armour, and steel plates on his arms and shins. At his side, a long, intricately engraved black scabbard hangs, never leaving his side. On his feet he wears simple wooden sandals. His hair is wild and untamed, but pulled back into a ponytail as to not get in the way so much. He rarely shaves, but can't seem to get much more than a light stubble, to his eternal shame. He wears his Hitai-ate still, despite having fled the village.

[PTabbedContent=Ninjutsu][PTab=E-rank]
Name: Kawarimi no Jutsu - Body Replacement Technique
Classification: Ninjutsu, General skill.
Type: Supplementary
Range: -
Hand Seals: Ram → Boar → Ox → Dog → Snake
Requirements: --
This jutsu lets the user quickly switch places with another nearby object, such as a plant (normally a section of a log), an animal, or even another person within reach the moment an attack hits. This creates an optical illusion, making the enemy think the attack was successful. The user can then use this confusion to escape or launch a counter-attack. Exploding tags can be attached to the replacement for an added surprise. Basically all ninja know this technique.

Name: Bunshin no Jutsu - Clone Technique
Classification: Ninjutsu, Bunshinjutsu, General skill.
Type: Supplementary
Range: -
Hand Seals: Ram → Snake → Tiger
Requirements: --
This technique creates intangible copies of the user. The clones are simply illusions and will dissipate when they come into contact with something. The illusions can be seen through by the Byakugan and the Sharingan. A person with normal eyes can also distinguish the clones from the original, since the clones will not disrupt the area around themselves with their movement (won't kick up dust, crush grass, etc.).

Name: Henge no Jutsu -Transformation Technique
Classification: Ninjutsu, General skill.
Type: Supplementary
Range: -
Hand Seals: Dog → Boar → Tiger
Requirements: --

This jutsu allows the user to transform either themselves or another object into the appearance of another person, animal, or object. The transformation technique is considered to be among the more difficult E-ranked techniques, since it requires constant emission of chakra while mentally maintaining the form. On top of that, the user would be, most likely, interacting with the environment. This puts much mental strain on an inexperienced ninja.The transformation would be dispelled when the user is injured or hit.

Name: Shoushitsu - Rising knee

Classification: Taijutsu

Type: Offensive

Range: Close (0~5m)

Hand Seals: —

Requirements: —



The user strikes their opponent with an upward thrust of his knee.

Name: Anzen'na ken - Safe sword
Classification: Taijutsu, Weaponry, Fighting style.
Type: Offensive.
Range: Close (0~5m)
Hand seals: --
Requirements: Sword

Using no wasted movement the user strikes with their blade fast and usually second. This style is designed to protect against most other forms of swordplay using different parry's and the occasional riposte. Usually accompanied by straight sword thrusts this way of fighting can be used with sword slashes rather then thrusts albeit less effective.

Name: Anzen'na ken: Teishi- Safe sword: Halt
Classification: Taijutsu
Type: Defensive
Range: Close (0~5m)
Hand seals: -
Requirements: Sword, Anzen'ha ken

This technique utilizes the moment when two swordsmen lock blades together. During the brief moment where each swordsman is pushing, the user turns his blade so that the targets blade loses it's bite sliding down the weapon. The user may let this happen in such a way that the target slides their blade closer to the users hilt or down to the tip. This technique allows for follow ups depending on which way the weapon goes.

Name: Shinda no Ken - Deadly sword
Classification: Taijutsu, Weaponry, Fighting style.
Type: Offensive.
Range: Close (0~5m)
Hand seals: --
Requirements: Sword

This way of using a sword focuses on deadly strikes that waste no movement and simply aim to kill their opponent in the most effective and efficient way possible. Combining all parts of a swords arsenal the Deadly Sword style has it's fair share of slashes, thrusts and flourishes.

Name: Iaido - Way of Drawing a Sword
Classification: Taijutsu, Weaponry, Fighting Style.
Type: Offensive.
Range: Close (0~5m)
Hand seals: --
Requirements: Sword

The term Iaidō (居合道) refers to a specific style of kenjutsu that is concerned with the smooth, controlled movements of drawing the sword from its scabbard, striking or cutting an opponent, removing blood from the blade, and then replacing the sword in the scabbard. The linear motion and force applied to draw the sword from the scabbard results in slashes that are faster and stronger than ones executed with the sword already drawn.

Name: Iaido: Hamonzan - Way of Drawing a Sword: Ripple Beheading
Classification: Taijutsu, Weaponry.
Type: Offensive.
Range: Close (0~5m)
Hand seals: --
Requirements: Sword, Iaido.

By shaking the scabbard at high speeds, the user draws their sword and strike in a fluid motion, like with any other Iaido technique. The difference is the fact that the shaking of the scabbard will cause the sword to vibrate and undulate, making it possible for the user to strike things hiding behind another object, with no damage coming to the object in front, due to the sword curving around it.

Name: Jutsu chudan. - Jutsu Disruption
Classification: Taijutsu, Weaponry, Kinjutsu
Type: Offensive
Range: Close
Hand seals: --
Requirements:
Hikarinomu

The user waits until the last possible moment, then slices Hikarinomu impossibly fast through the jutsu. The chakra is disrupted, and the technique falls apart, though any side effects, such as fire or water being used in the attack, are not destroyed. With the right skill, the user can carve a path through the technique, allowing them to dodge through the resulting chaos.

Name: Hikarinomu kōgeki: Yoroi o mushi. - Hikarinomu Strike: Armor Piercing Attack
Classification: Taijutsu, Weaponry, Kinjutsu
Type: Offensive
Range: Close
Hand seals: --
Requirements:
Hikarinomu

Used as part of a concert of attacks, or on its own, the user flicks Hikarinomu across the defenders jutsu, be it a wall of earth or an armour surrounding them. The attack carves a hole in the technique, letting the user dodge through it, or doing damage to the user underneath if they are wearing the armour.

Name: Konoha Kage Buyou - Shadow of the Dancing Leaf
Classification: Taijutsu
Type: Supplementary
Range: Close (0~5m)
Hand Seals: -
Requirements: -

A technique where one follows the opponent, closely matching their body's movement, just like a leaf that dances in the air is followed by its shadow. The technique begins with a swift upper kick that will launch their target into the air. It is mainly used to position an opponent into a vulnerable aerial position. This move by itself is harmless, but it is usable as a stepping stone for a great many powerful jutsu.

Name: Shiage idō: Sōdaina sora no aki - Finishing move: Grand Skyfall
Classification: Taijutsu, Weaponry
Type: Offensive
Range: Close
Hand seals: --
Requirements:
A sword, Konoha Kage Buyou

Intended as the final blow of a fight, the user first kicks the target in the air with Konoha Kage Buyou. Once the targer is airborne, the user follows them, delivering a killer blow to them and sending the flying back down into the ground. The target is hit with a powerful blow to the stomach, and also suffers from an immense impact with the ground, most likely leaving them dazed or unconscious.

Name: Shinda no Ken: Danto - Deadly sword: Beheading
Classification: Taijutsu
Type: Offensive
Range: Med (5~10m)
Hand seals: -
Requirements: Shinda no Ken

The users blade is held in the off hand and that arm is held parallel to the ground. When the opponent moves the user mimics the movement. This repeats itself until the opponent steps in. As they do the user throws the hilt of the blade to the other hand while keeping the actual blade itself in relatively the same spot. The other hand then brings the full force of the user across in a horizontal arc. The user also rotates their body adding momentum and cutting power to the technique.

Name: Iaido: Senja Zanshou - Way of Drawing a Sword: Beheading of a Thousand Snakes
Classification: Taijutsu, Weaponry.
Type: Offensive.
Range: Close (0~5m)
Hand seals: --
Requirements: Sword, Iaido.

Using the principles of Iaido, the user draws their sword and unleashes a series of attacks so fast the user's movements can hardly, if at all, be seen by the human eye, before sheathing their sword once more, in a single fluid action. This technique can be used to cut down several people all around the user, or to slice a single target to minute pieces.
[/PTab][PTab=A-rank]
Name: Shiage idō: Dai dageki - Finishing move: Crippling blow
Classification: Taijutsu, Weaponry
Type: Offensive
Range: Close
Hand seals: --
Requirements:
A sword

Intended as the final blow of a fight, the user move with impossible speed past, swinging their blade at the same time. It appears as if they have teleported behind the target. If the attack hits, the target is bisected (Or if the blade is sheathed, dealt a horrific blow to the stomach, likely finishing them off if they were weakened). The move takes a moment to prepare, however, so it requires the target to have been worn down by other attacks first.

Name: Hikarinomu kōgeki: Yoru ni naru - Hikarinomu attack: Night falls
Classification: Taijutsu, Weaponry, Kinjutsu
Type: Offensive
Range: Close to Long
Hand seals: --
Requirements:
Hikarinomu

The user squeezes the hilt of Hikarinomu, and applies a little chakra to disturb the blade, and then swings it. The blade consumes a great deal of the blood within it, and the chakra repulsive nature of the blade is enhanced for a moment, and a wave of chakra negation is flung through the air in front of the user. Any techniques caught in the wave are repelled, forced back with the technique, but physical objects are not affected in any way. This technique is exceptionally taxing, and the user cannot use it often in a fight, else the blade will take its claim of the wielder.

Name: Hikarinomu bōei: Ichi sen zan'nin'na dageki - Hikarinomu Defense: One thousand brutal blows
Classification: Taijutsu, Weaponry
Type: Defensive
Range: Close
Hand seals: --
Requirements:
Hikarinomu

The user stands their ground, and settles into a defensive stance. Any attacks or jutsu that come their way are deflected in a storm of furious blows, moving faster than the eye can see. Blades are turned aside, fists parried. If a jutsu is launched at the user, it appears to be cut to pieces, the furious bladestorm dicing it into a mist of useless energy. This is the ultimate defence for the Hikarinomu wielder, but it comes at the cost of remaining still, and completely vigilant. The chakra blackspot nature of the blade means that a Sharingan user does not have an advantage against this defence.

[/PTab][PTab=History]

Hourou was born into a branch of the family that valued kenjutsu above all else. They would pour their hijutsu into mastering their swordplay, and were known throughout the lands as skilled warriors in the art of the blade. Every child of the family was taught to wield a sword as soon as they could walk, and to weave seals as soon as they could stand. The way of the samurai, the clan followed, and every clan member was trained for battle and learning from the moment they could.

Hourou, however, was not blessed with the family skills. He could barely channel his chakra into a simple clone, or change his appearance, and when tested for chakra elements, had the misfortune of not even moving the paper. His parents, ashamed, refused to acknowledge their son, leaving him to be taken in by the village for training and guidance completely. He was taken to the clan shrine, to train with the other genin, and maybe one day awaken his skill. The shrine master, a venerable member of the clan, and a once vaunted warrior, took a shine to the young boy who struggled to even maintain the most basic chakra control.

He was not without any skill, though, which was likely what drew the attention of the shrine master. His skill with the blade, even at a young age, was unmatched by his peers, and in straight taijutsu he would annihilate any challengers. Of course, with his skill, and a sense of something to prove, he rapidly became cocky, challenging higher and higher ranked shinobi to duels, and more often than not, winning. However, he was always refused a fight with the master of the shrine, who told him, "The time is not yet for us to cross swords. But it will one day. Soon." That soon forever frustrated him, and drove him to greater lengths of training, even trying to challenge other clans in more outlandish fights. He could not use ninjustsu, but yet he would fight on with his blade, and won honour for his family name. His parents even began to make contact with him, acknowledging him once more as family, but it did not matter to him. He had to duel his master.

It was a quiet night. Hourou awoke despite that, feeling an edge in the air. Something was different, wrong. He stood, taking his blade with him, and slinking through the shadows. A sense of malice filled the shrine, that he had not felt before, in such a place of contemplation and dedication. It unnerved him, but not nearly as much as finding the first body. It bore the tell tale marks of a wind attack. Another clan was attacking them. He moved quickly, down through the shrine, to warn the master of the attack, only to find that he was headed in the direction of the attackers themselves. They were after the masters room, and he emerged to find a slew of bodies from other clans, and his master, alone, fighting a masked foe. The room was a storm of wind and fire, the techniques blending within one another, causing chaos. But he couldn't hold himself back. He was outmatched, but he yelled out a challenge, drew his blade, and threw himself into the fight.

"HOUROU, NO-" A flash of light, a massive impact in his chest, and suddenly silence. He had been hit with something unnaturally strong, but he was alive. He opened his eyes, lying in the ruins of a cabinet. His master stood between him and the foe. The storm had stopped, and blood covered the wall behind him, the cabinet he was lying in, and indeed him himself. His master had been bisected by an attack, one he had thrown himself in front of Hourou to save him from. This would give pause to anyone, to see their master dead before them, and Hourou was no exception. He stood, shakily, grabbing his blade from beside him in the ruins of. His pulse pounded in his ears, like blood was rushing from his head, and for a moment he felt dizzy. He gripped the hilt tighter, and his training flooded back to him. He flicked the blade, unsheathing his sword and passing the scabbard to his other hand. "My name is Kurayoroi Hourou. You killed my master. Prepare to die." He blinked forwards, rage filling his motions, training guiding it well, but he was not quicker than the wind. The foe smiled, and threw out his hand, the storm returning, and rushing right towards him once more. He would be bisected much like his master... No! He swung ahead of him, determined to at least take the bastard with him.

He landed on the other side, back facing his foe. Both stood still for but a moment, that seemed to stretch out for eternity. Hourou knew two things in that instance; 1) He was still alive, despite facing an attack that killed his master, and 2) This was not his blade. It seemed to pulse in his hands, covered in blood, that seemed to sink into the blade as he watched. Revulsion mixed with curiosity. What was this blade, and where did it come from? He hadn't seen it before... At the same moment as he realised all this, the hand of the ninja attacking him slid off his wrist, and he suppressed a scream, falling to the ground, holding it dearly. Hourou was drawn to his senses. He whipped around, ready to deal a finishing blow, but the room filled with smoke, and the ninja escaped. Rage filled him once more, for letting the man escape, then he remembered his master. He dropped to his knees, sheathing the blade beside him, and checked, despite knowing the inevitable. He was dead. And that was when the clan guards arrived. To see him standing over his master with the forbidden blade.

The accusations, inevitable. His honour, destroyed. The escape, heroic. Hourou fled the village, taking on himself the path of Ronin. He had a mission; To find the ninja who killed his master, and return the favour. His families opinion of him was beyond trash now, and it would likely be forever irreparable. But as he says, to those he might pass on a lonely nights travelling, "Honour is in the heart, not in the name."
