Kiretsu, Koba.

THE INFO.

Name: Koba of the Kiretsu マニピュレータ
Nickname: The Blind Boy 盲目の少年
Age: 12
Gender: Male
Appearance:

Anatomy. Koba has a small figure, and delicate looking frame. Atop his head is fully raven hair, which looks to be as black as night. Fine hair, with a certain shine to it. Almost a purple color in the sun, when struck by the proper lighting. It's cut in a linear way, so as to be at a perfectly even length all around his head. It's almost an inhuman style, very obviously not natural, though giving him a gentle, disciplined appearance. Koba's eyes are large, almond, and colored with a thick green. Like olives, almost, only a bit more lit up and animated. A petit nose, and smaller facial features, including a small mouth with fine edges and full lips. Jawline as angular as as his hair, the boy shows a set of very acute angles, such as his higher-than-average cheek bones. The skin which covers his body looks as if porcelain, a gift granted through his genetic attachment to the Kiretsu Clan. The rest of his body is also petit in its own right. Lean muscles, and baggy clothing give a meek appearance, though he is no less tough than most other shinobi of his age.

Clothing. Koba's clothing is extremely traditional. Over his upper half, he wears a white and blue kimono, finishing it with blue trousers and simple sandals. Like flip flops, and hardly suspected of being combat worthy shoes. A purple sash around the waist holds the Kimono in place a bit, and secures it around his waist. A small build makes the already young Koba appear younger still, though his level of intelligence and wit is unaltered by the same youthful innocence. He has been seen in other attire, however, as he does not publicly announce his ties to the shinobi. As such, he wears clothing fitting of the peaceful class. The citizens, whatever it may be. He has become accustomed to going about his business in such clothing, as opposed to the often more loose and comfortable shinobi clothing. Most clothing, if not all, however, is traditional clothing. Some have mistaken him for a monk boy, due to his peaceful mannerisms and soft spoken voice. Soft spoken, yet present. And firm. Despite his youth and physicality, he possesses a stern presence, which often results in those older than himself treating him as if he were the same age.

Forehead Protector: N/A
Personality:
Koba's personality is not an easy one at all to explain. It's hidden under so many layers of secrecy and promises. Working in almost 'formal' ways, Koba interacts with society in a very peaceful, mild manner. At least, in the open. Though, it should be mistaken for a truly peaceful view of the world. Instead, Koba represents a lost boy, broken by having too much responsibility and growth thrust upon him at too rapid a pace. Once innocent, and now a bit resentful, he holds himself with incredible respect and humility. Never bragging, nor easily boasting of his own power, yet always confident and focused. He's an incredible kid in that he's developed a level of maturity which surpasses even some adults. The issue in describing the boy's personality is that there is no much of one, not at first. He is often quiet, and does not speak unless spoken too. Not out of shyness, but due to lack of interest in most of what's going on around him. He does not desire for material gain, nor any such dreams like most men.

Instead, Koba's main vice is sorrow. Paired with resentment and, and made powerful by repeated self assurance. A diplomatic mind, full of barbs and tricks to deal with most any encounter if given enough time to work. That said, Koba was never the most flghter, nor did he think himself more powerful than the rest. Even in winning, he claims little credit for himself, it's not important to him, as long as he accomplished whatever his goal was; even if it was as simple as an attempt to survive. Koba's soft disposition often conveys some level of the pain going on within him, and it is certainly possible to dig up powerful emotions at times. Even so, they are rarely outwardly violent emotions. Rarely. Interestingly enough, Koba is still the target of hostility at times, and is not afraid to deal with violence when there is no other option. It's merely that he prefers a more peaceful alternative. Or a quicker option, which does the same thing, more or less.

Koba uses the elements completely in combat, summoning them and calling them forth as he needs, and shaping them to match his requirement. In the case of wind, Koba is perhaps most at home here. The element of air is a quick one, evasive and fluid. As shown below, Koba's combat is graceful and acrobatic, tossing himself about in a dance of war. When manipulating and fighting with the element of air, Koba's movements are quick, and nearly all passive. Koba's small frame is taken into consideration with the manipulation of the air element, fighting with the qualities of wind, flowing back and forth, and appearing weightless. Flips, and jumps, all aided by the air around his body, are all a part of the combat, and just as vital as hand seals to most jutsu. This said, Koba is more than capable of hand seals, and has actually excelled to signing the seals with but one hand; in fact, this is in large part the reason this style of combat was created. Jutsu of this style are often styled so as to give leverage, fluidity, and quick responses. Rarely, are there attacks, but this does not mean such things do not exist. A powerful wind blast can be just as damaging as a blade of wind, take your pick. More often than not, however, when in need of offense, Koba will resort to his earth element nature.

In terms of appearance and application, both, the earth's manipulation looks almost entirely different. Focused on heavy steps and powerful breathing, Koba is able to pull and churn the earth so as to create his weapon from it. Whether he launch condensed earth at his foe in a rock shower, or pull a thick shield of stone from the dirt below, this style of combat revolves around a much more physical realm of damage. Throwing boulders, or using them as walls, the style hits hard with the drawback of being less fluid than its air counterpart. While not at all slow, the techniques involved with the earth element are jerky and can be overcome with enough impressive speed in most cases. These styles are an impressive blend of both physical taijutsu and the ninja art of ninjutsu at the same time. The intricate dances and poses made by Koba in combat are both beautiful and entirely intimidating.
