Asuha, Riley.

THE INFO.

Name: Riley Asuha
Nickname:
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Appearance:

Riley, at first glance, has a very slender build. However if he happens to take his shirt off, it becomes clear that he has a very well built physique. Having to constantly keep himself under the effects of his Kekkei Genkai, his body is under constant strain and merely walking is considered to be a light version of training. His hair is often kept short, but the bangs over his face are oddly long, split into three sections so he can still see. His hair is a light purple/blue shade that is shared by his eyes. As a trait spread throughout his bloodline, his eyes are unnaturally reflective and under the right light, can be on the level of mirrors.

His attire is very subdued, preferring to wear as little as possible so as to make his daily life a little easier. The more stuff he keeps on his person, the more he is weighted down by his Kekkei Genkai, and thus, the harder it becomes to go about his daily routine. His main choice of clothing are a medium sleeved dark gray shirt with several thin lines moving vertically along it. His pants are a lighter tint of gray and are a little tight on him, though they loosen up around the bottom of the legs.

Personality:

Hiro is a very energetic youth, this is probably in part to his extremely high metabolism having him constantly burning energy. He can often be seen bouncing around the room and so long as there isn't anything important going on, has a hard time sitting still. During these times, his face is almost painted with a perpetual smile and he enjoys poking fun at friends, family and alike.

This translates into his fighting style, very energetic, quick and unpredictable. Throwing multiple, quick attacks at both close and mid-range at his opponent while setting up for his more powerful blows. He also enjoys taunting his opponents, however instead of merely playing around, its more of a tool to get under their skin and get them to make mistakes. He enjoys entertaining others and tries to be as upbeat as he can.

These habits do come with a minor downside though, as Riley has the misfortune to be rather clumsy. Often missing his footing while goofing around and falling flat on his face. This does pass onto his movements in combat, but is far less common. He tends to play this for laughs when it happens though.

However, the fact is, Riley is a a ninja and when the situation calls for it, he is able to calm down and sit still. In battle, he loses his antics and will become far more serious. For the most part, his voice becomes far more stern and attacks far more fierce. His taunts also cease.

Clan: Asuha

Nindō: If I can punch it, I can punch it twice!

THE NINJA.

Origin: A side branch of the Asuha Clan.
Affiliation: Kusagakure
Rank: Genin
Specialties: Main: Taijutsu Sub: Ninjutsu
Elemental Affinities: Main: Earth Sub: Lightning
Combat Style: Riley is a heavy close combatant, using his clan's abilities to quickly get in close to his opponents and unleashing volleys of quick attacks to make an opening for his stronger blows. He tends to use a lot of acrobatics to dodge his opponent's attacks and close the distance on them. Though, he is also fairly skilled at mid-ranged combat, using his Kekkei Genkai to throw just about any heavy object within arm's reach at his opponents. Granted, this is usually done just so he can get back into melee range. In more dangerous situations, Riley will use a special weapon of his, a large steel cylinder on a long sword hilt. Though he can't use it for long as it will quickly burn out his chakra due to it's extreme weight.

THE BACKGROUND.

History:

- Riley was born into the third branch family of the Asuha clan as the third child of his family. He had two older sisters ages 7 and 10 and both were already showing talents in the shinobi arts.

- As Riley passed his fifth birthday, Riley's father began his training in preparation for his admittance into the academy by the age of 13 or earlier if he showed talent. The training sessions were simple chakra exercises as to ease him into learning his clan's jutsu as well as training with weights to prepare his body.

- By the age of 8, Riley's oldest sister Marin, now 18, was accepted as a jonin. This marked the first time in 3 generations that a member of the third branch family had managed to achieve this rank. Even his father, a talented ninja in his own right, had only made chunnin before losing his leg during a mission to the land of waves. High hopes were placed on both him and his sister to follow through.

- At 13, Riley failed his first entrance exam into the academy. With the pressure he had upon himself, he did not return home for a week as he felt he had failed his family. It was not until his second sister Elise found him that he finally returned home. After talking with his family, Riley was motivated to try his hardest and the next year he was admitted to the academy.

- Riley Spent two years in the academy studying hard and training with his now Chunnin sister Elise. Though he could never match her in skill or strength, he was finally able to graduate the academy as a full fledged genin.

Roleplay Sample:

"Drip... drip" The consistant sound of falling water echoed through the humid darkness with the steadiness of a metronome. Atop a secluded ledge, Kazuki waited in absolute silence. Not moving his body even an inch as to avoid disturbing even the smallest pebble. The catacombs were narrow and long. Any noise could easily be carried for miles. Because of this, he even limited his breaking to one breath per three minutes.

He had been waiting in the darkness for well over six hours and the exchange time was now only minutes away. The Village had recieved word of Black Market trading occurring in the caverns around the Merchant town of Izilude. It was well known that Black Market goods were constantly coming and going through the town. However this time they had an informant as well as a location and time of one of the major trade routes. If it was to be shut down, the market in the area would fall into chaos and the Leaf could move in and close them down permanently.

The route involved navigating through the miles of underground catacombs with only a few paths leading to a secure exit. Because of the danger the caves possessed, only a brave few who entered their depths and returned know the safe routes. Unfortunately, none of these people are known by the Leaf Village. The informant knew the layout of the first two hundred meters in as he used to play there as a child. So, using his directions, Kazuki was able to locate a suitable location for hiding. If the information was correct, then a caravan should be coming through this area and meet up with another contact at the cave entrance. If all goes well, he should be able to take out the caravan and capture the contact in one fell swoop.

The minutes ticked by to the echo of the water and there was no sign of the caravan. Twenty minutes after the scheduled time, the sounds of footsteps and old wooden wheels could be heard echoing through the cavern. A glow from an oil lamp began to illuminate the darkness and the forms of three men and a large wagon began creeping along the cave floor.

Silently, Kazuki made his move. Unravelling his robe from around his sword he glides it along the ceiling, creating noose-like appendages that began to lower to the men's throats when a fourth presence alerts him to call off his attack. Leaping from his hiding place as several senbon are lodged into the rockface. Upon landing on the floor he looks over to a Hidden Rain ninja glaring at him through his shadowed face. The cart quickly evactuating the area.

"Looks like your ambush failed you pathetic Leaf". He laughs as his voice bounds off the walls creating an infinite echo that engulfed Kazuki. "What's with the silence?" He taunts as the light from the cart fades. "Stunned as to why your plan failed?" He takes a few steps forward as the cavern fades to absolute darkness. "Well..." The voice echoes before a swift breeze passes Kazuki and it returns in his ear as nothing more than a whisper "We just cut the legs off the noisy cricket". With that, the splash of a puddle and swift sound of thin objects cutting the stale air and impailing a soft object are heard.

By increasing their weight, they sacrifice movement speed for power. A simple punch can feel like being whacked with a bat, or even crush stone.

Some of your jutsu aren't bolded, which is a neat and necessary requirement, sorry.

All your custom jutsu require measurement ranges along with whether they are Close, Mid or Long distance.

Quote :: Name: Suna Koutai (Sand Shift)
Rank: C
Type: Ninjutsu
Range: Mid-range (20m)
Element: Earth
Description:
The user is able to control the top soil of the ground to shift and
move in the direction they wish. The user will cause a 6 meter area to
shift violently in random directions, making it nearly impossible to
stand properly. The jutsu lasts for 2 posts.
Chakra Cost: 6 (+2 per post)

I may be mistaken but isn't there a Canon jutsu that has the same effect?

Quote :: Name: Testsutoku (Iron Hide)
Rank: C-A
Type: Taijutsu
Range: Self
Element: N/A
Description:
The user will take up a defensive stance, covering their head and torso
with their arms. They will then focus chakra throughout their body and
into their muscles, causing them to bulge slightly and the harden. This
greatly increases their defense against almost all attacks. They will
become immune to most all basic taijutsu techniques as well as taking
only half damage from taijutsu ranked one above the level of the jutsu
being used. Weapons are met with similar results while ninjutsu depends
on the element. Equal rank Fire, Water, Earth and Wind jutsu will only
do half damage to the user while Lightning will completely nullify the
defenses. When using this technique, the user cannot move.

This
technique can only be used by characters with the enhanced endurance
special characteristics and can only use it at the same level as their
endurance characteristic. (Eg. Improved Endurance allows for C rank
use, Iron Endurance allows for A rank use)

I have a problem with this, essentially pumping chakra around your body wouldn't make you capable of blocking weapons, I mean even a kunai thrown correctly should be able to pierce your flesh and most likely kill you. People often underestimate these kinds of items put the best way to think about it is obviously imagine me throwing a chefs knife at you full pelt, you're muscles buldged isn't going to block it or half the damage, that knifes going to cause some very unpleasant feelings. Now thats skimming the surface and thats a real life scernario, bring it to the weapon world, this doesn't take into account the various weapons people can use. From bows and arrows, swords, size exaggerated weapon, the list goes on. Taking this jutsu into account ontop of your Special Characteristic already, I don't find this neccessary.

Okay Land Crash is much more suitable and I also note, due to our talk in the chatbox you've added a Canon technique: Rock Spear which is the acceptable version from the Encyclopedia.

I grant you one half approval. Smile
