| Basic Information: Name: Karamu Tomasu Secondary Title: N/A Age: 15 Gender: Male Physical Appearance:
- Spoiler:
Karamu weighs 130 pounds and is 5'10 tall. He has black, scruffy hair that almost reaches his shoulders. He has eyes that have a golden look to them, he says they are amber. He is of a lean physical build, with fantastic figure, eight pack abs and all toned but not bulky looking, he would hate that. His chest and arms have a few scars across them as a result of being in a previous chuunin exams and his childhood.
Karamu wears a long-sleeved black shirt which is low cut enough to show upper chest and collarbones and wears a black jacket with furry hood, wrists and bottom. He wears black trousers with a pocket on the left leg at the side of the knee, on the other leg is a pouch with kunai and other items in it. He has a pouch on the back on his trousers where he keep extra items. He wears black ninja footwear. He wears his headband around his neck instead of the forehead. Personality: Karamu has a good personality despite a fairly tough upbringing. He has had a conscience and sense of justice for a long time, even when he was killing others he knew it was wrong and prayed for forgiveness from every one he killed. He wants to bring peace to the world but is conflicted as he does enjoy fighting, he felt bad fighting in earlier life but now it is one of the only things he is good at, he loves sparring. His philosophy for life is that it is too short to not enjoy it, leading a sad life is like not living at all. He has faced hardships but has not let it bother him at all, it is behind him and he is free and that is the most important thing to him. He dislikes people who abuse their power, he has respect for the raikage as she is fair and uses her power for the good of her village and it's people. He likes training his body as he believes that hard work can overcome anything so he works as hard as possible.
In combat, Karamu is a strictly close range fighter, he has few things he can do from a distance apart from throw kunai so he tries to get close where he can truly do some damage. He fights letting his instincts lead him as he has sharp instincts, unfortunately he has a habit of going too far if he lets his instincts take over so he tries to fight with his head as well as his guts. He wants to pick up a fighting style so that he can fight to a even better level where he has full control. Catch Phrase: "Prepare yourself."

As soon the Bunshin gets attacked or comes into contact with an opponent, it will disperse
Name: Henge no Jutsu - Transformation Technique Rank: E Type: Ninjutsu Element: N/A Description: Henge no Jutsu is a ninjutsu technique which every ninja learns at the Ninja Academy.

Name: Kinobori no Waza - Act of Tree Climbing Rank: E Type: N/A Element: N/A Description: Kinobori no Waza, the art of tree climbing serves a dual purpose. Taking part in Kinobori Shugyou (Tree Climbing Training) helps a ninja learn how to focus their chakra. It also teaches the ninja how to run up trees and walk on vertical walls. The training helps the ninja learn how to focus just the right amount of chakra to a particular part of their body. The amount needed to climb is small but it must be precise. The feet are regarded as the hardest location to master chakra focusing. So by gaining the art of this skill, the ninja will have any jutsu available (theoretically) because they will be able to focus their chakra as needed

Background Information History: Birth and Capture arc: Karamu was born at a horrible time, his mother gave birth to him while she was on a mission. His mother was tired afterwards and his father was nearby looking for water when he was attacked by bandits, he took many down but he could not take them all on, his mother was then easy to take out as she was in no condition to fight. They then took Karamu away in hopes of selling him to slavers or anyone else. They eventually met a man who had interest in the barely week old boy who bought him and took him to the outskirts of the Lightning country.
By the age of three, Karamu was already at an unnatural strength for even a 6 year old, he had been trained to fight so he was built not to be large with muscle but lean and complete muscle to help him be fast as well as strong. He was told what his future was, he was going to become a gladiator. Karamu was still too young to understand so the man just let him be and kept him to his regimen of training but decided to give him someone to truly care for him so that he was not just a killing machine as he could become unstable and dangerous. He was sent to the medic on hand, Ayame to look after him like a mother, she was happy yet not overly so knowing the fate the boy faced.
Childhood of Fighting arc: Karamu, now at the age of 7 was taken to his first fight against another child of similar age. Karamu was armed with shoulder guards and shin guards and an axe and a sword and told to fight as hard as possible. He went out into the arena which had roughly 300 people in it, he had never seen so many people before and held a slight nervousness in his heart but that all vanished when reality struck him, he was about to fight to the death with another child for the entertainment of adults and this sounded wrong to him but he shook it off, he needed full concentration. The two started fighting, the kid he was fighting was not quite as strong as he was but he was fast, Karamu had a hard time hitting him and the two fought well for roughly five minutes when Karamu landed a dire blow on the other kid, he crushed his throat with a punch and then decapitated the kid to end the suffering as quick as possible, he felt bad but knew this was his life. The audience went wild, yelling their congratulations, saying how great the fight was, Karamu got out as quick as he could, despite his upbringing he still had a conscience and it was only going to weigh on him more.
By 10 he had killed many and some he had defeated through fights that were not to the death. He was closing his feelings off to try and not be affected by all the killing, he hated it but had no power to escape and make a life of his own. He had more strength then the others his age but some of the adults were beyond his skill and would be suicide attempting to face against in a hope of escape. His luck turned around when the place was attacked by cloud ninja as it turned out that the gladiator managers had people kidnapped from the Hidden cloud village. He followed them after they had done their mission, they asked him if he had anywhere to go, he said he had never truly had a home and they decided to take him knowing he could probably become a good ninja.
Academy Student arc: Karamu joined the academy at the age of 11, a lot later on than most academy students but not too late. He learned fairly quickly though and did fairly well at ninjutsu, bad at genjutsu but he shone in taijutsu, his style was rough but effective and got him notice. He helped other students with taijutsu but was told by the teachers that the style was too rough and dangerous, he said it was not a style, just survival moves but he agreed to stop, he wanted no trouble as he was happy, he was no longer a slave, he was free.
In the final tests, he failed genjutsu but he did so well in the other two he was accepted to become a genin as genjutsu was not absolutely vital, he just needed some basic knowledge of it and that he had. He was praised for beating down his opponents in taijutsu so easily, he said it was nothing, it really was nothing, they could not stand against someone brought up to fight. He accepted his headband, tied it round his neck and went to train, he was going to have to work harder now he was a ninja.
Genin arc: He spent a year doing various things for the village, nothing too hard, before he got a team. Now 12, people thought he must've been tough as he passed the academy in a year, he denied this as he knew other genin would be just as powerful if not more powerful as they would have abilities such as ninjutsu and genjutsu and maybe ones as unique as puppetry and fuuinjutsu. He met his squad in a mountain range close to the village, his sensei, Shino, was not fond of him as he thought that taijutsu was the weakest of the three basic ninja specialities. His teammates, Tomoni and Sumaru, were both Ninjutsu specialists, strong in lightning techniques and medical jutsu respectively. Shino told them to try and hit him at least once, claiming they would need to work together to beat him. Sumaru stood back saying he had no offensive techniques, Karamu figured that Tomoni probably did and asked him to cover him. Karamu ran as fast as he could and Tomoni shot lightning at Shino, Karamu ducked beneath the lightning as it flew past him, Shino delfected the lightning but before he could move again, Karamu had landed a kick against his chest which left him skidding back a metre. Shino said "That was just a fluke, but you all pass." Karamu already disliked this guy. Shino said as they passed he would teach them to the best of his ability, he did not include Karamu in much of this but he did not care, he was training himself harder than the other 2 were training at all.
The team were now all 13 when they were told they would participate in the chuunin exams, Karamu was pleased because he could become chuunin and escape his team, they bothered him as they had little faith in him. The first test was a week later, a written test in which if the genin were caught cheating three times, they would be kicked out. The other two genin of his team were cocky and answered what they apparently 'knew' were the right answers. Karamu knew how to answer a few but he knew he would have to cheat to get the answers, he was trying to think of a way for so long the exam ended, he was nervous but things turned out fine. The examiner asked who wanted to quit now and have another shot at the exam another time instead of staying and being unable to participate again should they fail. Karamu did not quit, something seemed strange, why would they purposely make the village unable to have more higher rank ninja? Those who did not quit were told they passed regardless of score, they showed bravery and that was enough, the whole thing was a trick. Karamu was happy that he had not given up and now was looking to the next test, the survival test.
The basics were the squads were put into a mountain range and had to obtain another squads scroll and reach the tower in the middle with two scrolls. Karamu's team got off to a good start, Karamu took out a guy and took his scroll before his teammates realized he was not with them anymore, a successful hit and run. When he met up with his teammates they told him to give them the scroll and just die quickly, before he had a chance to relpy a bolt of lightning flew at him, he managed to avoid it and used body flicker to get close to Tomoni and before he could fire again, Karamu broke his jaw in a punch and threw him to the ground, his head making a cracking noise as it hit a rock. He turned to face Sumaru, he threw a poison bomb at Karamu, it went off and Karamu unfortunately breathed some in, he got out the cloud quickly and kicked Sumaru in the neck, blood spewed forth and he collapsed, choking. Karamu said "Use your medical jutsu, save yourself and him and then leave the village, scum like you have no position here." Karamu left and never knew of the fates of either of the genin, he never saw them again. He reached the tower and gave the waiting chuunin the scroll. He then collapsed as the poison knocked him out, he managed to tell the chuunin he was poisoned before he passed out.
He woke up the next day in hospital, he was told he was all better and could continue in the exams. He was just realizing that he may of just killed 2 people, he had no regrets though, his upbringing had taught him that it's either you or them and someone had to be defeated, it was them in this case and if he had not fought back he would have died. He was told that the final exam was ready. He arrived at a large open hall of some sort and looked around, people were stadning on the upper level awaiting instructions. Karamu did the same, a list of names appeared on screen, Karamu's name showed up as well as another genin. They were told that they were to fight each other to advance in the tournament, Karamu jumped down into the fighting area and awaited his opponent. The two started fighting immediately, this guy was keeping up with Karamu's taijutsu which was a suprise, no one ever kept up with him, this guy must be a taijutsu specialist. The two fought for a while more, leaving each other very tired, Karamu saw his chance and charged, the opponent grinned and said "You thought I was strictly taijutsu didn't you?" He raised the earth, striking Karamu and leaving flying upwards and hitting the ground from a good height up, he could not move and the match was announced over. Karamu was announced as failing the chuunin exams. Karamu left the arena, beaten up and defeated, he was tricked by his own conclusions. He decided he would train some more.
2 years later, Karamu has been training constantly, he feels he has got stronger and knows from defeat that he should never guess at someones skills and be prepared for everything. He has managed to make his taijutsu look less violent, he makes it look like other taijutsu users but he still resorts to his old violence should he need to. He is ready to join another genin squad with a chuunin exams experience behind him. He looks forward to the future.
Role-Play Sample: Shibito had been wondering, what had happened to the team, he had saw Kazuto and Sensei a few times around the village but had yet to see Ken. He thought he would see someone as loud as Ken around but no sign, maybe he had disappeared or maybe Shibito had just not seen him around. Shibito did not know and only cared because he needed a squad to enter the Chuunin exams, he had lost last time but now there were no psycopath killer air tubey ninja's around, at least he hoped not.
Shibito had not been out of his place for a while, he had been lazy and had just spent time playing with puppets and reading a few books, but now he was kind of bored so he decided to go out and explore the leaf village. Over his few years spent in the leaf village, he had spent some time exploring but not enough to of seen everywhere. He grabbed his puppet, grabbed his pouch, put on his hooded jumper and then headed out.
He ran across rooftops which was something he enjoyed doing and headed in the direction of the Hokage mountain because he had never payed a visit to that side of the village, it was on the opposite side of the village to his home. He got closer and he saw a small park and in that park, sitting beneath a tree was none other than Kazuto. Shibito saw he was reading so he walked up to him quietly and said, "Good book?" He leaned against a tree facing where Kazuto was and watched the Nara.

| Alright cool.
Try and make sure all your jutsu have at least 3 lines of description.
Otherwise, this looks good.
You may earn a secondary element/specialty through roleplaying. ;D
