Name: Masaki, Saitou Nickname: Purple HazeA nickname acquired due to the nature of his powerful lightning jutsu, the colour of which is a deep shade of purple. It can also be traced to the fact that both his hair and eyes happen to be of a similar colour. Unfortunately, this nickname is not particularly well known, as he is not particularly renowned or feared, and as of thus, this name has not spread far. It originates from him himself, and is the nickname he will use when he becomes an entity the very name of which he hopes will strike fear into his enemy's hearts.Age: 18 [Born 2nd of June | Gemini]Gender: Male Appearance:Saitou has a relatively lanky frame, but is not overly skinny. As a shinobi, a degree of fitness is required, meaning his muscles are certainly more defined than that of the average citizen, but by the standards of a ninja, they aren't anything particularly impressive. He stands at five foot and eleven inches tall, not far from six foot, which is quite a dominating height for someone his age. His recent growth spurt has lead to this not quite powerful length, but he has not adapted his method of combat in order to account for this. Indeed, he is not quite used to it yet, and commonly finds himself bumping head on whatever low hanging ceilings or door frames might appear in his way. His build does not contain much weight, meaning he is rather nimble and agile, but not extremely so. Saitou does not rely on being physically dominating or quick for his preferred method of combat, rather enjoying more to stick to chakra based techniques. Because of this, he feels no need to work on his build. His ribs are almost visible when one takes a look below his shirt, with no large entity of muscle or body fat being present to cover them. His weight totals around 10 stone.  He is rather nimble and thin, but would be better described as ‘wiry’, as, despite his unimposing build, years of training have built up a Shinobi's level of strength to an acceptable standard, as it has with him. Whilst not bearing the most impressive or daunting physique, Saitou is reasonably athletic by normal standards, able to sprint faster and run for longer durations than your average citizen. His legs are far from spindly, in fact, the only area with any noticeable excess muscle for someone of his career path would be his thigh and calf area.His violet eyes are mischievous and daring, and they sparkle with a glint of amusement. In shape, they are rather sharp and angled. It is not particularly uncommon for one to be able to find bags under these eyes of his, for his sleeping pattern is very capricious. He often wears a mocking smirk when fighting, which he inherited from his father. And it's not just fighting, really. Even in the most inappropriate of sessions, he has an uncouth ability to laugh or smile; it can often be viewed as a gesture of merriment, or perhaps a derivative jeer. Because of this, his face is almost always afixed in such a position, and were it not, it might almost appear unusual. A frown doesn't really fit his face, as it is quite an uncommon sight and adds many years to his face. On the rare occasion he does frown, Satiou's forehead becomes rather wrinkled, and his angular eyebrows dart downwards in a sharp fashion. Another noticeable development in this is his cheek bones becoming more pronounced and sharper than usual. His eyelashes are uncommonly long for a male, which raises many questions about wether or not he applies mascara; despite the fact he doesn't. Saitou's lips are fully coloured, although they are quite thin and marked from points where they have been bitten by himself. Most of his features are quite pointed, such as his chin, nose and ears, all of which give him a distinctive facial shape. On top of this, he has very pronounced, high cheekbones. Thankfully, he didn't inherit the large hook nose that runs in a large portion of his family, and has quite a small, sharp nose, befitting of the rest of his face. His nostrils are quite small, and are bigger in the direction they protrude outwards from his face, rather than to either side. Thankfully, the tip, or 'beak' of his nose is somewhat high in its positioning, rather than low and droopy, like a curved bill. The best way in which to describe these facial features of his would be angular. His ear lobes aren't particularly saggy, rather quite narrow, and his ears themselves are rather small. Saitou's chin is somewhat stretched, his constant smirk of derision having pulled the skin upwards quite a bit. His hair is almost long and very unkempt, probably best described as bed ruffled, and is a mysterious natural purple, also coming from his father. A lot of work goes into keeping the wild tufts of hair clean and non-greasy, but much more work is required for it to be straightened. There is no discernible 'fringe', just hair that falls over his eyes and parts which are swept backward, or toward the side. Rather than have a broom of hair that falls down behind him, Saitou's hair length is mostly centred about the top area of his head, or where his scalp meets forehead or ears. It also sits upwards sometimes. When combed, it can look a fair bit more presentable, and he is certainly noticeable with his hair. Although certain shinobi may be a fair bit taller than him, the extra height gained by the purple fuzz about the top of his head means he can be noticed in a crowd, unless he intentionally flattens it. When wet, his hair will turn soggy and appear a jet black in appearance.When Saitou is on duty, he wears the customary flack jacket worn by the Chûnin and Jônin of Konohagakure no Sato. Alongside his headband, he wears this with pride, as he is proud of his achievements and thus wears this jacket like a trophy. He ensures it is clean at all times. Underneath this, his attire tends to be unnoticeable and not particularly special in any shape or form. A white T-shirt is a common site, although he may often switch this for a black one. This garment is normally partially concealed by a black jacket that completes the upper body section of his wardrobe for duty. However, when the weather permits, he goes sleeveless with his flak jacket. The sleeves of his jacket tend to be rolled upward to just past his elbows, as he prefers the extra movement this allows about him. His clothes are comfortably tight, so that his movements are not slowed, and to aid this he wears a black or white belt. The lower area of his wardrobe, again, depends upon weather. He is more than happy to don shorts and sandals, but will also occasionally opt for longer trousers swathed in bandages. Saitou tends to avoid boots, finding them a brutish, ugly affair.For more formal occasions, his attire consists of a white button shirt accompanied by tight black jeans. Regardless of the nature of the occasion, particularly when wearing a formal shirt, the youth will insist on rolling up his sleeves. He has a rather carefree look, even when he does make an effort, and will never go near formal dancing shoes, preferring trainers in such an outfit. It is clear to all that whilst he does make small attempts to look good and presentable, he is not one to dote for prolonged periods of time over his appearance, and will happily be labeled as 'scruffy'.Forehead Protector: Another garment that is worn with pride, the metal embellished with the symbol of the village he loves can be found upon cloth normally fastened about his right wrist. However, Saitou does not have many objections to donning it about his forehead, and, when in a battle that is not a simple spar, or against a respectable opponent, he will do so. Personality: Saitou has a relatively light hearted nature. He has never been one to take everything he does seriously, and is always up for having fun. There is a small mischievous streak in him, but the majority of that has been killed off by years of lectures and punishment; because of which he tends to be quite shy around those he doesn't know too well. However, there is still that glint of liveliness about him, and he's always ready for a joke or the like. He isn't only awkward physically, either; socially inept would be a good way in which to describe the youth. When faced with situations that do not appear on a day to day basis, Saitou has very little idea of what to do, and prefers to avoid social confrontation. It's quite a task to get him to open up and talk openly. He isn't particularly confident around large groups of people; he finds it much easier and more comfortable to talk to someone if he is alone with them, and thus he can change depending on whom and how many people he is with.However, there is nobody's company he enjoys better than his own. Whilst not a bookworm, or the most keen person about, he is rather intelligent and will happily brush up on his knowledge with any kind of book, be it factual or a simple novel. Despite this, he is far from pretentious. In fact, he has a large amount of hatred in store for those who regard themselves as 'superior', and not just over intellectual matters. Being from no discernible bloodline which supplies unique abilities to its members, Saitou has commonly felt intimidated by those who have natural abilities of excellence. In fact, he does not come from a family of shinobi, both his parents haven chosen different, civilian based career paths. The nearest thing to a shinobi family he has is his uncle, now living at home due to injury with his wife and two of his three children. He has a third son, an older one, whom Saitou has not met, who happens to also be a shinobi. However, this side of his family live near Kumogakure, somewhere that the youth is not particularly welcome, and thus it is rare for him to see any of them.One thing that plays a rather large role in the life of this boy is drama. Not the prancing about a stage faggotry, nor the need for some 'juicy gossip' about such and such; nay, he believes in real performances. This is something he rarely gets to express, however, when undercover in Kaminari no Kuni, he developed a real taste for the thrill of lying with one's neck on the line, having to outwit his opponent and knowing the consequences were potentially disastrous. Because of this, Saitou has developed a taste for a good thrill, or a game of wits. Western games such as chess, or the eastern versions, Shogi and Go, bear some interest to him. He likes having to think practically in combat and dialogue based situations, and his mind is often at work. However, this being said, he is not always seeking a 'dare devil' thrill. He simply prefers a challenge, or something to keep the cogs of his mind turning over for a while.Saitou is a person much more accustomed to having a few close friends, rather than many who he doesn't know too well. Like every other, he craves social interaction, but finds himself nervous around strangers and can only act like himself when in his comfort zone with those he knows well. When he manages to overcome his initial shyness, the boy can be good natured and on occasion, humorous. He has a rather warm personality, but occasionally makes the mistake of being too rambunctious about other people. His actions are commonly seen as uncouth or odd, and he is not very good at reading the emotions of others. Sometimes he is brash in what he says or does and can be quick to offend someone. It's quite in his character to chuckle softly rather than give out a booming laugh; even when familiar with someone, he isn't the 'loud' type. That said, he is able to be vocal and passively assertive; but yet he simply prefers to not have to act as such, and will only do such a thing if he feels strongly it is the right thing to do.He is happy to take a backseat role and go along with everything. That is noticeable when on duty as well; Saitou can take orders from his superiors without complaint. Fortunately however, he isn't a lapdog, one who mindlessly follows every order and cannot think for themselves; he isn't perhaps the most inspiring leader, but when taking things seriously, he can be efficient and confident. He is a firm believer in what facts, his mind and his instincts tell him. If he disagrees with something, he has no problems in voicing this to anyone, although sometimes may forget his place. His firm confidence in his own thinking and the belief that he is right can occasionally push him into rather troublesome scenarios, something he wishes he was able to avoid.However, when Saitou gets going in a competition of any kind, he can take things too far and can forget his worries, and oddly turns to be very confident. This causes him to push himself, and he trains often. He enjoys the sensation he gets when he has completed something, or mastered a new jutsu or technique. Sometimes Saitou may push himself to far, but he is very ambitious, despite the fact he keeps his dreams quiet. Whilst he is not one to aim outside the boundaries of realism, he knows what he has the potential to be capable of and strives to reach that. The dream of becoming Hokage is not one in his blood, for he views it as unrealistic and feels even if he did have the skill, he could never quite be the leading figure the village would need. On top of this, he feels his lack of impressive background may cause him to fall short in this regard. He simply wants to go as far as he can personally go, and will make sure that happens.Clan: -Nindō:'Fall seven times, stand up eight' 'The worst mistake you can ever make is to take yourself seriously'

History:Birth Arc:19 years ago, Saitou's parents met each other. His father had sustained a wound whilst hunting from, what he always says was a bear, but the truth was in fact the wounds were sustained when he misused his own bear trap; being as stubborn as he was, he refused to take medical attention. Instead, he went to a pharmacy to buy some bandages. It was then, as he dragged his bleeding leg and a broken bear trap into a shop, that he first saw his soon to be wife. After finally admitting he needed to see a medical Shinobi, Saitou's father made a near full recovery, after a large amount of rest. 3 years later, the pair married each other. 3 months after this occasion, Saitou was conceived, fifteen years from now, on November the 11th.Childhood Arc: Large amounts of competition meant that pretty soon, Saitou's mother's pharmacy had to close down; however, this did little to dishearten her, and, after an extensive loan from a bank, she opened up shop once more, now going into a different business. Masaki Maifun was a small noodle based restaurant by a river, and is where the purple haired boy grew up. His parents both wanted him to go into their trades; his father wanted him to be a hunter, his mother to continue to run the shop. It was a mutual agreement that another child would be born, but none came after years of trying. Saitou remained an only child. If he had any family outside his parents, then he was not told of them.Academy Arc:From a young age Saitou found the world of jutsu intriguing, and often dreamed of becoming a ninja. It was his father who inspired him, initially. His reckless, stupid courage and his daftness were what the youth aspired towards, but as he grew older he grew to also admire his mother's sensible determination and ambition. He did not take after them as such, having always wanted to make his own way. Whilst not openly as driven or hot headed and reckless, Saitou is confident but also lazy, and that was to be seen during his days at the academy. He had a decent amount of natural ability and was relatively intelligent, but never really applied himself. This angered both his parents and his mother greatly, and it was them who pushed him into training and studying more, until he finally graduated and became a Genin.Genin Arc:As a young Shinobi, Saitou found he had a lot to learn. His progress was quick when he really tried, but his main focus was upon enjoying himself, which he did successfully, meeting new people and becoming more and more acquainted with the village and its populace, as well as how it was run. Like any other ninja, he completed missions, and despite the fact he was not assigned a squad, did so with the help of others, and made a fair few very valuable friends along the way. It was after two years of moderately hard work and nearly regular training that he was promoted to Chûnin, something that secretly excited him greatly. However, sadly, during those 2 years Saitou's dad died due to a terminal illness whilst he was 15.Chûnin Arc:Saitou has only recently achieved such a rank within his village, but takes pride in performing his duties and wearing the flak jacket that symbolises his senior rank. The promotion initially caused him to put more effort into his work, but that didn't last forever and he slowly returned to his normal self. However, he is still driven as ever to be independent, self-sufficient, and, most of all, somebody who is viewed as strong within the village. Clichéd as it may be, he aims to make his father proud and return his mother for the support she invested in him as a child by excelling and showing the rest of his comrades just what he is and will be capable of.

Name: Arashi Jisan
Rank: B
Appearance:

Spoiler:


Arashi is a large Pelican, a bird well known for the size of its beak below the mouth and around the throat area. This area is rather large, capable of storing a lot inside, such as a small person, as he has a rather large bill, even for an animal of his origin. This is, of course, only if the human were lying down. His monstrous portal to the oesophagus is nearly 6 feet long, and about half a metre deep. The colour of his bill is a lighter pink around the top, whereas further down, it turns more yellow. This would imply he is of the Pelecanus conspicillatus variety. As is characteristic for this species of bird, he has a distinctive downward hook at the end of the top half of his beak. The slender rami of the lower bill and muscular, flexible tongue allows for storage of water within this bill for a prolonged duration of time, which can be utilised in jutsu that Arashi may know. It can also be used for general storage of weaponry. However, despite the fact this tongue is muscular, like all other pelicans, it is rather small, as to now disallow or hinder the swallowing of large any fish he may consume. Being a male pelican means Arashi's bill is larger than the females, as is common throughout all of his species.

He has an impressive, dominating wingspan of twenty five feet, stretching about twelve and a half feet either way, more than twice the size of a tall human. These wings are powerful constructs, capable of creating a gust and supplying enough power to allow a figure as large as Arashi the ability of flight. Due to his large frame, he is not the most nimble nor agile of birds, but his body fat percentage is rather low and his bill gives him the advantage of being rather aerodynamic, meaning he can fly quite quickly. Pelicans do tend to be heavy flying birds, hence the requirement for this large wingspan to allow Arashi to become air born.

Arashi's plumage is not particularly remarkable, rather ordinary for a pelican of his native origin, as it happens. The feathers about his wings start as a pure, stark white, but closer to the outer edges and tip become a jet black. His streamlined body area has a few more white feathers, and his anus region has a more decorative plumage where his feathers flick upwards. The back of his neck area has slightly grey feathers, in comparison to those towards the front, which are much lighter. Just below his chin, he has a small, distinctive but noticeable black patch. About his head area, his eyes consist of an outer layer of yellow, encompassing a large, deep black iris.

His legs are firm, powerful structures. Webbed as to allow for extra ability in the water on top of his ability in the air, they consist of a bright orange colour. The toes themselves are rather flat, but the stalks of legs upon which they reside below are firm and muscular, as well as rather thick. These legs are about three and a half feet long, meaning when standing, Arashi comes at about a fair bit above head height with an average human. He is only about eight feet tall when standing, and a good twenty feet long. Of this twenty feet, six is composed of his bill. His neck is rather long and goes straight upwards, meaning it doesn't increase his length by much. It is a good three feet tall. This would suggest his strong powerful legs are muscular as they are in order to hold up his massive frame.

Personality:

Egotistical

Whilst not being from a species commonly regarded or associated as a symbol of pride and honour, Arashi is a pelican with a manner of superiority and is used to being respected. He holds himself upon a pedestal and can be rather condescending towards others, particularly humans and other non-water based animals. One could refer to him as posh or snooty, and it is a common occurrence for him to automatically regard others with complete indifference or contempt. The big bird expects nothing but fine manners and a sharp tone. He finds lack of concentration and focus disrespectful, and expects those around him to be attentive and courteous. However, he regards others as beneath him and conducts himself with little respect, and is often found to be rather rude by utilising a large amount of insults available to him.

Loyalty

Arashi's respect is particularly hard to gain. He believes himself incredibly powerful and one of the most revered creatures to exist, but he doesn't really get around much, hence this belief. In order to gain his respect, he must be well and truly bested. Once this is done, he is fiercely loyal, as he would rarely associate himself to someone, and so when he did so, would be devoutly committed to aiding them. On top of this, he is never one for cowardice of backing down. Some say he knows no fear; whilst this is not particularly true, he is courageous and will always act in the way he feels the best warriors would, and is able to put his doubts to one side. He has a large amount of self belief and confidence, and feels that he is only suited to the very best the world has to offer.

Temper

Arashi is used to getting things his way. He is a calm minded person, but he can be filled with a burning rage at even the smallest of things; however, he is able to keep this anger in check and use it to fuel him onward. He is driven, ambitious and always hungry for glory, for every victory, no matter how small, helps build up his self image of brilliance. The smallest thing can easily irk him. This pelican is a perfectionist, one who will not stop until everything is right, and can be annoyed by anything mildly incorrect, as well as the people around him.

Haven't really made any major changes, but anyway, bump for approving once more. That massive green faggot gave me the go ahead for going back to Chûnin again.

You're right there, it was a bit short.
