[Rasher204]

Name: “K” Kodai Yoshimori
Gender: Male
Age: 21
Element: Raiton (lightning)
Rank: S (special squad, Kinkaku Force captain)
Loyalties: To The Cloud village, The Raikage, and Kinkaku Force

Appearance: The strangest thing about K is his metallic prosthetic hands, though they work normally they look more like that of a steel puppet’s than a persons and cause him to stand out considerably. Other than his hands K is almost strikingly average looking, of average high and fitting weight built like most ninja neither bulky nor lanky with an even skin complexion, brown eyes and matching brown hair. K’s auburn brown, strait and fine hair is actually much longer than it looks held in a sort of top knot like style held in with two wooden hair clamps longer at the sides and short at the bangs. Another interesting thing about K are his sunglasses, a rather uncommon accessory among ninja with almost goggle like lenses usually worn on his forehead. K wears a pair of orange and red robes with a cloud like design on them tucked in to a pair of very common standard issue black shinobi pants, his knees down to his feet are incased in a bulky looking armor wrapped in bandages to obscure it. K usually carries a Shamisen on his back and wears his headband along each shoulder crossing and tied behind his back so that the cloud village symbol is over his right shoulder sideways with a purple cloth instead of a blue one.

Personality: K is a fairly laid back, artistic person to begin with, tending to adjust well to shocking events and threats with very little real worry though perhaps this was learned from his years as a shinobi, he tends to approach life with a subtle understanding confidence. K’s first and foremost devotion is to his own brand of unique music played on a Shamisen though being a ninja is a job to him he takes this very seriously and does his best to act polite and professional when on duty and is a heavy believer in being prepared. Inwardly K is a calm and friendly sort of person when dealing with most sorts of people though he seems to dislike hotheaded individuals and unprofessional types. K is a well rounded, down to earth person with a very strong sense of loyalty and justice.

History:

Early life: Contrary to popular opinion not all ninjas chose their occupation, some are merely born in to the life of a shinobi regardless of what they want to do, this was K’s luck. From an early age K was a very creative person fond of drawing and even taking to his instrument at the early age of six, though his lot in life had already been chosen. It was made very clear to K that he was to be a ninja, a powerful assassin for the cloud village and the land of lightning’s central power. Though one would assume that this news would crush K he truly believed that he could pursue his art and music as a hobby while providing for his village as a ninja when on duty and in this way K progressed though his early training with out complaint. He was trained in the basics of chakra and physical performance as early as most ninja and grew up believing it was normal to do so. Perhaps he didn’t fully grasp what it was ninjas did as he entered the academy.

Academy: Though K was not a poor student of the shinobi academy nor did he excel, rather he was a middle of the road student who mastered the basics of the lightning release easily but showed little interest in pursuing it beyond a passing grade. His talent and his calm attitude gained him many friends and the support of some of his sensei admiring his ability to adjust to the rigorous training and lack of complaining. K graduated the academy by demonstrating the ability to manipulate wire tied to his fingers in addition to some lower rank ration jutsu and became a legitimate cloud ninja with two close friends as a team mate and a stern but friendly jonin sensei, a retired Kinkaku Force medic nin.

Genin missions: As a Genin most of his missions were very simple and almost insultingly basic but K enjoyed their simplistic even as his team mates longed for greater challenges he was content with the lower ranking missions as they could allow him to finish early and get back to his music though this caused him to develop a reputation for being “lazy” and a “day dreamer” he took it in stride as his team mates grew stronger and closer as a unit under the watchful eye of their sensei.

Loss of his hands and rehabilitation: During his later years as a Genin his team, now very confidant were assigned a C rank mission, the delivery of valuable information to a secretive source. Though they did not know it at the time the information was vital to the existence of a higher ranking criminal organization and so unknowingly the team became the target of Chunin and Jonin level ninja. Though they fought bravely to complete their mission the entire three man cell was affected by chakra poisoning and damaged to severally to fight. With their mission failed their sensei was able to save all of their lives but was as a result unable to save K’s hands which had been destroyed by a powerful offensive jutsu. When K awoke in his hospital bed and saw what had become of him he was almost instantly thrown in to a violent, almost suicidal depression, with no hands he would never draw or play his music again, and worse more he would be of no use to anyone. He was unable to cope when his sensei gave him a ray of hope, two metal prosthetic hands. At first moving them with chakra was almost impossible but simple tasks were made possible once again. Slowly but surely over the course of two years K began to master his new hands till he was able to actually play his music once more, however with his metal fingertips against the strings the sound was much lower and deeper, it was unlike any music he had ever known but he welcomed it, it seemed fitting like an outward manifestation of the feelings he’d been keeping inside him for those two years, like this he was able to channel all his feelings of helplessness, anger and loss in to his new music and it became a powerful healing tool for him. Soon he felt that he was ready to resume training and make use of his new hands once again, though he had lost his hands in many ways he had found himself and become as he was as a child, accepting and calm with a scene sense of purpose.

Chunin exams and missions: Though he’d had to take two years off for his rehabilitation from that bloody battle long ago K passed the chunin exams with ease, was it his newfound wire mechanism with his prosodic hands? Was it the fact that he had strengthened his legs to fight and compensate for his hands? Was it how one technique flew seamlessly to the next? His tactics? His talent? No, it was the stunning recovery he had made, to loose everything and return stronger than before with the same will to fight, that is what won over every single judge, what made them remember what it was to be a ninja and recall their own nindos. Already K was being scouted for an elite group though he had yet to know it.

K’s missions as a chunin were on his own for the most part as his team mates were nearly jonin by then. Though he kept in touch with them and his sensei he completed most of his tasks in solitude and became somewhat lonely all the while improving his skills. K had not forgotten the loss of his hands either, he researched the criminal organization that had wronged him and found that their influence had spread, the people who had harmed him were now harming many other, innocent people as well and K volunteered to be on the team that would challenge them.

Jonin qualification and joining the Kinkaku Force: Though K did not know it the battle against the criminal organization was also being used as a test, cloud nin were planted in the team to evaluate the lower ranking members for combat skill, leadership, crisis management, teamwork and other such categories to select a few of them to join the cloud villages special forces squad called the Kinkaku Force, legendary since the first shinobi world war. During the battle K demonstrated all of those qualities and more, his electrical clairvoyance jutsu saw through an ambush, his metal hands were able to draw in their weapons and his lightning jutsu allowed the team to lay waste to the organization’s base all the wile showing his amazing ability to handle pressure, afterward K was promoted to jonin and approached by his sensei with a proposition; an invitation to join the elite ranks of the Kinkaku Force.

Time in the Kinkaku Force to current: K wasn’t sure what to make of the offer to join at first, but realizing that being a ninja was now a very large part of his life, and out of admiration for his sensei who had saved his life and restored his confidence in himself K accepted her invitation to join. Though the early missions were grueling and the training was tougher than he was use to K took well to the rougher life of the force, he had missed being part of a team and once again found himself among friends often entertaining them with a song after a day of training. Doing rather well for himself K was able to survive in a group of S ranked ninja for three years, and much in the way all ninja live K was promoted as his superiors died and retired till he one day found himself the leader of the squad, though he accepted the role he had found that Kinkaku was lacking members and sought out to find ninja he could win over for it acting as a personal guard to the raikage.

Tools/Weapons:

Kunai, Shuriken, strings, scrolls (containing more spools of wire) and…

Name: K’s prosthetic metal hands
Appearance: a pair of well crafted metallic hands almost resembling a “puppet” like structure with more developed, human like features and joints, these hands fix to the wrists. The wrists of these contain very large spools of wire with in the casings and affix to the arm by a series of straps.
Special Abilities: Using raiton chakra the user is able to move and feel touch with these hands as if they were totally real. In addition to being acceptingly damage resistant the metal is very receptive to the users chakra and naturally enforced by it, the fingers have been modified to thread the wire from the spools out though the finger tips for movement and justu reasons
Origin: Created for K after the tragic loss of his hands by cloud village medical ninja, though he could no longer make music as he once did the metal fingertips produced a new sound against his instrument’s strings and gave birth to a new kind of sound.

Name: Wires, Brass Wires and Razor wires
Special Abilities: The wire is very receptive to the users chakra as a natural conductor working emptily well with raiton chakra and jutsus, the razor wire can cut much more easily and is quite simply more weaponized, the brass wire serves a special purpose as brass is one of the few metals that makes a good conductor with out being magnetic allowing the users to effectively stand up against users of magnetic jutsu while still using their primary weapon.
Origin: Wires have always been a common tool for ninja, usually used to fix tags to kunai or as an element in traps, some ninja learn to incorporate wires in to some jutsu and it was for these ninja that brass and razor wires were made.

Name: Thundercloud smoke bombs
Appearance: Smaller light blue balls with yellow rings down the center and red dots on either side.
Special Abilities: Like an ordinary smoke bomb this tool explodes in to a dense fog like smokescreen obscuring visibility, however these particular smoke bombs have been formulated to generate a mist which is highly conductive and receptive to electricity, as if a storm cloud had been called from the sky down to the battlefield making lightning jutsu much more effective.
Origin: Invented by cloud ninja who had become frustrated with raiton’s need for a conductor to pass through in order to create an effective tool and trap for opponents

Name: Weighted offensive leg armor
Appearance: Typically wrapped in bandages these bulky looking devices include heavy metallic boots with a rounded shape and treads under the shoes for extra traction, an oversized armored shin guard and a pair of heavy steel kneepads, these are acceptingly heavy and contain a variety of hidden mechanisms which can be released with simple elementary chakra control
Special Abilities: A disadvantage to these armored pieces is that they weigh over four hundred pounds, but their weight is compensated for in durability being able to simply “kick away” attacks with greater force and block metal weapons easily. In addition to their added weight and durability the armor has a verity of useful hidden features, the soles of the feet can deploy a series of metal spikes to increase traction and damage, the toes possess retractable blades to add cutting to kicks, the shin guards deploy similar spikes and the knee plates possess identical hidden blades.
Origin: Weights on ones legs are not a novel concept in taijutsu but eventually the notion that weighted armored plaiting could be used in place of simplistic weighted wrappings allowing them to act as more than just a handicap leading to this current all metal design.

Name: Lightning rod kunai
Appearance: At fist glance these kunai are only abnormal in their yellow handle wrappings and cubic back ends as posed to rings but in reality these are a complex pre-prepared weapon loaded with a very small seal and raiton chakra.
Special Abilities: After these kunai hit something the back ends actually open discharge a few sparks of electricity, this is not to attack but rather to direct any stray currents of lightning to the kunai and by extension the target near by
Origin: Often times Lightning can not be redirected once called out by a raiton user, and some lightning techniques are particularly hard to aim at smaller targets, for this purpose the lightning rod kunai was made allowing raiton users a newfound level of flexibility in combat.

Name: Shamisen
Appearance: a very common and totally ordinary traditional japanease three string interment with a round base and triangular head, this could be used for sound jutsu but it has not been reinforced enough for any real practical use
Special Abilities: None, it’s a normal Shamisen
Origin: A common string instrument preferred for its portability and (ordinarily) traditional sound, though K plays it quite differently with his metallic hands

Name: Kinkaku Force Life saving chest seal
Appearance: The emblem for the Kinkaku Force over the heart in black
Special abilities: the seal is not a curse seal or a summoning tattoo but rather a very simple fuuninjutsu (seal technique) that administers a shock to the heart if it stops beating to restart it just once, allowing the ninja to go on living if they are taken out in battle, a revived user can not fight right away but will be able to survive afterward if they are not poisoned or damaged to severally and still possess enough blood in their system, if given enough recovery time they may actually be able to resume fighting, one use only!
Origin: Created by the elite cloud village squad to allow their members to identify each other later adapted in to a very formidable seal that gave the Kinkaku Force the reputation of being nearly invincible

-History Add on-

Ernest training and the trials of the Eel Clan: Where ever K went it seemed that other ninja had an edge on him, while he had mastered his element of ninjutsu often times ninja would use their bloodline limits or special chakra elements to get an edge on him in battle. Possessing neither a secondary chakra element or a Kekkei genkai K resolved to simply overcome his lack of inborn ability though rigorous training, K trained his body by making lightning shock his muscles to strain them to their limits than allowing them to recover, in this way he was able to grow very physically strong in a short period of time and applied this strength to his taijutsu pushing it to new limits, he gained new ninjutsu by reading in to the techniques of previous Kinkaku force leaders and adapting them to his lightning release, but he still felt that though he had achieved almost complete control over lightning and full master of the lightning release he lacked a special ability not connected with ninjutsu, if he came across an opponent who was unfazed by his lightning or could keep up with his body he would be outmatched very easily, he needed his own edge.

K had known of the Lightning country’s ninja Eels for some time, as they had an alliance with the cloud village and were the inspiration for various lightning techniques developed therein. However no ninja had, to date established a summoning contract with them, it seemed that the eels were quite content to live in their village of undersea trenches and to feast on the giant fish that dwelled with in those depths not willing to lend their power to a mere human’s petty squabbles, but K saw them as his edge, the one way he might be able to compete with bloodline users and so he took some time off and made his way to the seas on the other side of the mountain on which the cloud village stood to commune with the Eel clan, finding them was no easy task, the Eels made their home in the seas and had crafted a large stormy bay for their docks, this was where K began his journey. The fact that he was a higher ranking cloud ninja allowed him passage in to their area but not an appointment with their queen, instead an embassy of the queen, a smaller eel called Namerakana came to greet him. Namerakana was not amused by K’s plea to speak with Queen Umi of the eels and dismissed him outright, but K was persistent. Every day for a month he came back to that spot and asked, getting turned down each time by the indigent Namerakana and training by the shore. Eventually K wore Namerakana down and he finally reluctantly decided to see what he could do for him. Swayed by his story queen Umi chose to test K’s willingness to see her, using her storm release she called up some very frightful weather on to K’s humble camp, rain and sleet fell washing over his tent, the powerful waves of the ocean threatened to wash him away with every turn, lightning even began to strike around him and topple his supplies but K remained steadfast. This continued for six days until finally Queen Umi let him rest and surfaced before him.

Amazed at the colossal eel queen’s aperance K spoke with her and she asked him a series of questions, who was he, why had he come there, what did he hope to accomplish extra, and then finally told him to leave, K refused, he believed that the Eel‘s water techniques would make him a ninja worthy of leading the Kinkaku force. The eels believed humans to be weak, selfish little things and so queen Umi resolved to get rid of K with a wager, if K could pass a series of tests Queen umi would lend K her power in a summons contract with the eel clan, for each test he passed he would achieve a lesser summons but if he failed even one he would lose all of them and never be allowed to return. K accepted confidently, the fist test was very simple sounding; catch a fish for her before sundown. However as queen umi was a colossal eel a simple, ordinary fish would not be surfactant, it would have to be a massive fish, a fish beyond any that K had ever seen. Standing on the surface of the water K would use his lightning to make shimmering flashes on the water, in hopes to lure one of the giant fish that dwelled in the ocean, hours passed, first noon came, then evening until things seemed hopeless, but with one last, powerful flair a massively large, hump headed Wrasse fish leapt in to the air attempting to swallow him, with a single bone shattering taijutsu kick K launched the fish skyward just as the sun began to set and called down a lightning strike on it before leaping in to the air and kicking the fish at queen umi, it landed in her mouth just as the sun set. K had passed and had received a summons as a reward, a tiny little sliver like eel with no special abilities, it wasn’t even capable of venturing on land or speech, K was reasonably under whelmed at this but wasn’t about to quit.

The challenges to follow were just as grueling, catching a slippery, ultra fast ninja eel in its element in under an hour, cutting through a wave of water using only his lightning, but finally K came to have Namerakana as his summon and was next approached by a shinobi three man cell of human sized eels, Tetsuo, Tokine and Ebisu. Their contingent was that they would refuse to serve a human who could not best them at their chosen skill, and so one by one he bested them, Tetsuo’s Eel based taijutsu against K’s kicks, Tokine’s storm water and lightning ninjutsu against K’s techniques and lastly Ebisu, K was able to use his electricity to shock himself and break from Ebisu’s illusions showing how determined he could be and in doing so gained all three of them as summons. K even gained an Eel medic nin named Shishiro by besting him in a contest of riddles. Finally the time came where he would face queen Umi herself. The colossal eel had only one test for K, survive the brunt of her lightning bolt attack, understanding that he could not absorb or channel an amount of electricity that large K understood that he may very well die in the process, but accepted none the less. The two of them stood before each other and the eel queen released a massive blast of energy that totally engulfed K’s body he survived by unleashing a counter current from his own body but it took everything he had, and more! K wasn’t able to reverse the flow of the thunder but in an amazing show of willpower began to step forward though the blinding blast of energy, step by step he got closer to the Eel queen until he touched her with his hands and transfer the sock back to her, though she took no damage from this K was able to cancel out the technique though he was completely out of usable chakra and covered in slight burns as he went back to the shore and collapsed, alive but just barely. True to her word the eel queen granted K a blood contract with her and the Eel clan, sealing the contract in their blood and showing it in a summoning tattoo on K’s right arm. He returned to the cloud village worse for wear but twice the ninja he was before, he finally felt that he was ready to lead the Kinkaku force.

Electric Eel Summons

Spoiler:

-equipment add ons-

Name: Summons Tattoo
Apperance: A black spiral around the right forarm with a symbol of an eels head over the wrist with an x on its forhead
Spechal abilities: Rather than a scroll this tattoo constitutes the sumoning contact, depening on how the user places blood on the tattoo different eels are summoned
Origin: Given to K by queen Umi of the stromy seas the leader of the eel clan

Name: Soldger pills
Apperance: Small black pills
Special Abilities: increased stamina and chakra flow
Origin: One of the more common pills. A soldier pill is said to allow a ninja to battle for three days and three nights straight. Though in truth their effects are not as significant, their ability to restore a users stamina still make them an extremely useful item on the battlefield. While this does allow the user to gain a short stamina boost, it cannot go beyond human limits. Taking two soldier pills within an hour of each other is dangerous, and taking a third may cause death.

Name: Lightning gems
Apperance: Two round dome like yellow gems in the palm of K's metal hands
Spechal abilities: The gems are placed in the center of a seal inscribed on the inside of the metal palms, thease gems act as a means of absorbing and storeing massive amounts of lightning, thease can be made to "charge" and take in the users chakra or lightning from another source over time or all at once from another source and released in a vareity of ways for near jutsu like attacks, K uses this for various jutsu that require larger amounts of lightning as well as in his lightning absorption technique and for a few other lightning techniques such as consentrated beams, blasts or orbs of condensed lightning
Origin: an adaptation that K invented for his metal hands to fundementaly increases his reserves of lightning and compansate for the taxing effect lightning jutsu can have on chakra
