Mikoto, Iori [Suna Genin]

Posts : 33

Basic Information:

Name:
Mikoto Iori
Secondary Title:
N/A
Age:
14
Gender:
Male
Physical Appearance:

Overall- Iori is a man of just above average height, he sports a bulk of five feet and seven inches and does so quite well as his posture is perfect, which is to be expected considering his past. Iori has tanned skin which tells the tale of a young man who spends much of his time outdoors, which is, in fact, the truth. With deep, brown eyes, Iori's gaze always seems to wonder slowly and carefully over the area where he finds himself, as if he was constantly searching for something interesting to rest his eyes upon. Iori's body is truly fit for one in his position as an aspiring master of Martial Arts. With a lean body of muscle and little fat, Iori appears to have a near swimmer-esque build, with seemingly powerful abdominal and back muscles, judging from the definition rather than the size, and the same with his biceps, Iori's hard work into chiseling his body can easily be noted. The knuckles and palms of Iori's hands are covered in calluses from years of attempting to improve his rather unimpressive punches and the numerous decades he has put into his training in hopes of improving his palm based attacks.

Hair - Iori has, as some shampoo commercials would say, great hair. Long and black, Iori's hair has a feminine feel to it and the fact that it smells of something sweet does not make it seem any the more masculine. Iori styles his hair in a long ponytail utilizing a white hair ribbon, this causes his ponytail to reach down to the middle of his back and whip around whenever he moves. The bangs of his hair hang down to just above his eyebrows, and with a tip of his head, he can cast his face into shadows if he so chose. Sometimes, however, this is a problem as when his bangs fall a little looser, they fall to right in front of his eyes which distracts him quite often.

Clothing- No fashion model or anything of the sort, Iori dresses in a rather common fashion. He wears a simple, short sleeved tunic underneath a much larger black happi. Iori's happi is actually two sizes two large one of his figure and so, it's sleeves extend past his hands, hiding his arms from view but revealing the entirety of his torso. For pants, Iori chooses to wear a simple pair of black leisure trousers and a pair of sandals with a sturdy back, so he may move around as he pleases. Iori prefers to wear his headband around his forehead, in the typical fashion. He does so because he finds it annoying whenever his hair falls into his eyes so he counteracts it with his headband.

Personality:
After years of living in the house of a rather important politician, Iori has taken the rule "Children Should be Seen Not Heard" to heart and as such, he has developed into a relatively quiet young man. Though he tends to have many opinions, questions and or inquiries revolving situations or conversations, for the most part, he keeps them to himself and instead answers or speaks only when he knows it is necessary or appropriate for him to speak.

A man who is aware of his appearance, Iori goes out of his way to make sure that he looks as respectable as he possibly can. This extends from things such as, what he is doing with his hands to making sure that his ponytail is not hanging over his shoulder. A patient and accepting young man, Iori has the ability to allow insults to himself or his actions glance off him as if he had some form of armor against them. The aforementioned patience also extends to waiting for long periods of time by entertaining himself in the simplest of manners. Typically, to bide his time, Iori can be seen mulling over riddles over performing haiku. Though quiet, Iori is not a man who does not give his all when he finds something that he wants to do.

Though Iori's silence is actually a conditioned portion of his personality, he believes it to be born of his own lack of confidence. In response to this, he has developed a sense of admiration for those who are not afraid to express themselves, going so far as to say he finds them courageous. After years of abusive treatment, Iori has developed a fantastic poker face. His poker face is so well developed in fact, that he is able to perfectly fake emotions that he is most definitely not feeling with little to no difficulty. However, it seems that Iori's poker face falters in the presence of females he finds attractive. When around females he finds attractive, Iori becomes nervous and tends to keep silent until he bursts out in conversation with questions or comments, often speaking a bit too loud or too quickly.

In combat, Iori is precise and swift, lashing out with attacks at his targets with textbook aim and speed. Iori is a very versatile fighter and switches his style around to match the attacks or maneuvers he wishes to use. Iori's base fighting style revolves on him staying on the defensive until he is given an opportunity to launch a counter-attack he is confident will succeed.

Background Information

History:
Pre Academy Arc-
Iori's parentage was a rather mismatched one. His father, as a young man had always desired power above all else. Women, Friends, love, all of it was for naught in the eyes of Nakamura, all for nothing if he meant that it could be traded for a raise in his political or social status. This carried on into Nakamura's early adult years, his numerous betrayals having gained him quite the name among the villagers. Eventually, Nakamura found himself stagnating in his status at the young, for politicians, anyway, age of 24. In all his years as a conversationalist, Nakamura suddenly found himself struck dumb by the sight of a single woman as she trained to further enhance her skill as a Taijutsu user. Having wandered towards the Shinobi Academy, distracted by his thoughts of further political development, Nakamura found himself watching a young woman who was furiously attacking a training dummy. When he was confident that she was finished with her training, Nakamura approached the woman and learned that she was the infamous "Sagure Inoue". Suddenly, Nakamura was hit with inspiration and he began to court the Kunouichi, desperate to use her status as a boost for his own.

The two young adults had a whirlwind passion, with Nakamura promoting the use and support of more and more Shinobi, and Inoue helping the village as a major asset, Mikoto Nakamura found himself startlingly high in the Iwagakure's political ladder. After five years of steady romance, Sagure, turned Mikoto, Inoue, gave birth to her first son, Mikoto Iori. Almost instantly, Nakamura fell back from the political scene, focusing with all his might upon his son. For years upon years, Nakamura doted on Iori, teaching him all he could about manners, discipline and instilled in him, not love for his father, but instead, duty. Iori thrived under such tutelage, a naturally intelligent young man, he only grew sharper under his father's sharp eye. When Iori turned Seven, his mother gave birth to another son, this time, naming him Sora. Now with another son to focus upon, Iori's father drew away from his first son, instead, attempting to do with what he had done with Iori with Sora. This left the rather dependent Iori without any sort of guidelines and less than pleased.

Reacting to her son's distress, Inoue began to show much more activity in her two child's lives, going so far as to resign from her work as a Shinobi and instead focusing on her beloved offspring. Soon after his mother became a regular part of his life, rather than a beloved and long awaited frequent visitor, Iori became attached to her, desperate to learn everything he could about her. It was only a year later that Iori was begging his parents for the chance to be a Shinobi Academic. However, in stark contrast to what the child had expected, Iori was nearly instantly denied by both of his parents, neither of which was keen on the thought of putting their eldest son in any sort of danger. Iori's mother claimed the reason that Iori could not be a Shinobi was because he lacked "killing intent" which was a must for all Shinobi.

After another year had passed Iori sat on a bench near his neighborhoods playground, having been sent outside with his brother to make sure his younger sibling stayed out of trouble.It took only the three minutes that Iori spent imaging his life as a Shinobi for Sora to get involved with the neighborhood bully. Jumping to his feet, Iori closed the distance between himself and the bully and began to attack. What Iori lacked in size, strength and combat experience, he made up with sheer ferocity, he moved like a wild animal, biting, scratching and basically doing anything he could to even the odds in vanquishing his foe. Amazed at his own ability, Iori found himself battered, bruised, a tooth actually cracked, but victorious. Shock seemed to ripple through out the Mikoto Family once they learned that the mild-mannered Iori actually had a fire burning inside him.

Academy Arc- It was soon after the signs that Iori had proven himself to be quite the ferocious warrior that his parents allowed him to enter the Academy. Surrounded by others, all of them exhibiting the zeal necessary to be excellent students, Iori proved to have quite the bit of ingenuity and talent for the Shinobi arts. Though he was no genius, Iori was still recognized as a skilled, potential Ninja. However, though his skill and determination seemed to flourish while in the academy, his social skills, faltered, stagnated, even. Though he was not one of the students who was ridiculed or targeted by bullies, Iori found that he was just as lonely as those few, so much so, that he began to wonder if he was abnormal in some fashion. Though he felt isolated and lonely at the academy, whenever he returned home, to his mother's loving attention and his baby brother's nonsensical squealing, Iori would always feel better, rejuvenated.

For years this flip flop of emotion continued occurring, with only intervention busying himself while practicing his basic Shinobi skills and jutsu, with his mother's expert advice and guidance, of course. Soon enough, however, Iori discovered that it was already time for the Genin Exam and, like all of his other classmates, Iori couldn't help but voice both his distress and joy of the upcoming event. As nervous as he was during the event, Iori found that he was able to perform the tasks asked of him with relative ease and in reward, he was given both the title of Genin and a headband, identifying him as an official Shinobi of the Sungakure.

Genin Arc- Nothing to mention.

Role-Play Sample:

It was a beautiful day, almost no clouds hung in the sky each of the bundles of condensation looking wispy, as if they could break apart at a moments notice. The sun beamed heavily upon forest, it's light only broken by the canopy of leaves that clutched gracefully at the branches near the top of the trees. The sound in the forest was a cacophony of naturally occurring noises; birds chirping, leaves rustling, small animals scurrying from one place to another, their little feet beating out a rhythm. Truly, it was a gorgeous day for anyone within the confines of the Sunagakure as Mikoto Iori was.

Leaping from branch to branch, Iori's raven black hair flowed out behind him, forming a near unbroken line of darkness as he soared through the air only for his weightlessness to be cut short by his feet colliding with one of the many sturdy branches of the next tree. As he prepared for another jump, Iori let out his breath in a content sigh, obviously, he was enjoying the exercise. Leaping high into the air, Iori pulled off a front flip before his feet crashed into the wood of the next branch. Instantly, Iori knew something was wrong; The branch was giving out under his weight when it shouldn't. Iori looked around, knowing what he was looking for and as saw the blur of movement he couldn't help but grin in appreciation of the rival Shinobi's skill. The Shinobi had moved, unseen, obviously, having followed Iori, he had even had the patience to wait until Iori decided to try out an acrobatic, and distracting maneuver before he had struck, it was all very impressive in Iori's eyes. As gravity claimed him, Iori released the hold his chakra had over the branch and allowed himself to fall alongside the branch, as opposed to attached to it.

As he fell, Iori met the Shinobi's eyes and Iori and he, for it was indeed a male, knew instantly, the fight was far from over. Grabbing hold of the branch with both his arms, forcing the end of it into his armpit, Iori turned the branch so that it would be falling width wise. Then came the sudden stop that almost threw Iori clear off the branch. Grunting with effort, Iori tightened his grip on the branch and only just managing to hold on as it collided with another two branches, the tip and end of the branch just barely over extending over the gap between the two. Iori knew he had surprised his opponent and he was determined not to waste time. Flipping himself, Iori hung by his feet, upside down from the branch and retrieved a bundle of clay from the pouch that hung, like a fanny pack, from around his hip. "Let's go" Iori whispered as he let the two Kunai fly free from his right hand, the course set to collide head on with the opposing Shinobi. As his projectiles flew through the air, Iori noted that the Shinobi was not wearing a headband, or, at least, it was not visible from his position.

Obviously taking a offensive attitude, the rival Shinobi reached behind him and let loose a flurry of Kunai, a flurry that covered such an area that Iori was not sure he could defend against it. With a flurry of Kunai flying towards him Iori did the only thing he could think of in such a situation; he ran for his life. Utilizing his long time favorite jutsu, Shunshin No Jutsu, Iori was out of the way of the Kunai, hiding behind the thick trunk of the tree he had been aiming to catapult past only a minute beforehand. As the Kunai made contact Iori heard the familiar sound of metal thudding into wood over and over. For several minutes Iori waited, his breath coming in shortened Staccato bursts, intent as he was on not missing a single sound that could hint at the appearance of the Rival Shinobi. After ten minutes of waiting, the chance that the Shinobi might have fled flashed across his mind but Iori pushed it away. It took another 3 minutes of swallowing his fear before Iori looked around the curve of the tree, eyes trained on the spot where the Shinobi had appeared from, Iori found the spot empty. Rushing towards the location, Iori found the grass and plants trampled and deserted. The Shinobi had left.

You are able to add a few Doton jutsu if you feel like it. If you don't then I will approve. But I suggest adding a few.

Quote :: Name: Doton: Iwa Bunshin (Earth Release: Rock Bunshin)
Type: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Element: Doton
Description:
After, ideally, performing a series of handseals, the user will place their hand onto a patch of some sort of sturdy earth (rock, gravel, dirt etc.). With that done, the user creates a clone made of stone. The rock clone will have the looks of it's user, however, it will also be noticeably slower. Unlike other clones, the Rock Clone does not disappear when defeated, but rather breaks apart.

What exactly does it take to defeat this?

Quote :: Name: Doton: Retsudo Tenshō (Earth Release: Tearing Earth Turning Palm)
Type: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Element: Doton
Description:
After, ideally, performing a series of handseals, the user will place their hand onto the ground, thus intimating the jutsu. With that done, this technique causes the ground surrounding the enemy to spiral inwards on itself, burying them alive or crushing them. This jutsu is capable of causing quite a bit of damage to the area. This technique is much more damaging if used in rocky mountainous areas, or inside a cave. This jutsu has a range of a 25 Meter radius from the user.

25 Meters at C-Rank? I don't think so, tone it down to like five.

I think it should be 20meters, rather then the suggested 5 as fundamentally this technique's design isn't meant to be in complete close range. Sounds fair?

1. A Punch to the face, a kick to the groin, a jab to the chest. Pretty much anything possessing a reasonable amount of concussive, penetrative or other form of force will cause the jutsu to break apart. It is remarkably fragile, a point I made sure to edit into the profile.

2. After having spoken to other Mods (Not that I do not value your input or anything of the sort) it is agreed upon that, due to the nature of the jutsu, 5 meters is far too small a radius. As such, the radius has been reduced to 20 meters. If you wish to assure that I am not creating false information, please speak to the Staff Member Known as "Dan".

Fair enough, approved.
