THE INFO.

Age: 14
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Forehead Protector:
Personality: Initake is a rather dynamic guy. Though at first sight and for a while when you first interact with him, he may seem rather one-dimensional, he flourishes into something greater soon after, given opportunities he can use to show his true self. At first he seems full of himself; Narcissistic, arrogant, and nothing more. But really, he's just amazingly bold and doesn't give a damn about anything, really.

Being very headstrong, people may label him as foolish, childish, or plain stupid, but he sees it as seizing opportunity. Whether one fails or succeeds is up to their actions, is what he believes. He tries to take the right courses of actions, not abiding by detours, or obstructions. He goes straight for the gold, so to speak, and does it in grand fashion, showing off where he thinks it is necessary. While he can be full of himself, and be condescending towards others, it is mostly either in a joking manner or when it is blatantly obvious that he is better than someone in something, where he has room to brag. Though it is somewhat rude and unnecessary, he usually doesn't mean to hurt anyone by it.

He does have a rugged side, too. He doesn't necessarily have anger issues, but he does have his moments where he will fly off the handle. It doesn't occur often, but when he is angry about something, he will let you know. Loud and clear. His booming voice makes nothing better, for he will constantly scream and yell to make his point made. He will use logic to prove a point and to shoot yours down, and insult you, regardless of how unintelligent it makes him look, just to lower your self-esteem and jumble your thoughts. Regardless of his uncontrollable tirades that occasionally occur, he does have a high tolerance level. He, more than likely, will tolerate someone's shit for longer than others, and will act as mediator between an arguing group or duo. Though he is also very persuasive, he will try to sway someone to his side during arguments, get them to be on his side. This isn't true, he likes to haggle as well. When shopping or make something generally known, he will use his attractive personality to have people defect from their original thoughts to his mindset about a specific subject. He will very seldom fail; he's had much practice with his mother.

Regardless of his cunning or arrogance, he does have an overall kind nature. He will try to help someone in their time of need, and provide an optimistic outlook on something if there is one. He enjoys helping people, and because he is so persuasive, he does help people get out of funks or predicaments they find themselves in very easily. Because he enjoys helping people, he has many allies, friends, and people who enjoy being around him. Although this is true, he does oftentimes find being kind to people a bore; some people he'd just love to tell off. But, because of his high tolerance level, he refrains from doing so.

There is a couple negative aspects to this "golden boy", as many find him to be, which is his downfall. Envy. He is extremely envious, especially of those with many material possessions. Though he is far from being poor himself, and has much to call his own, he still has an insatiable thirst for more. Due to his love for material things, he is somewhat of a kleptomaniac. Though he will not kill for something, he won't think twice of robbing you if given the opportunity. And again, his persuasiveness allows him to make people think he hadn't done it. Though it is to a lesser extent, he also is kinda power hungry. Though he knows much of it comes from experience and skill, he wishes to be the best of the best, like no one ever was. ( Razz

The only thing stopping him is his extreme laziness. He is bold, headstrong, and rather straightforward, but he has to be greatly motivated to do something. If he finds even but one flaw in something, he may not try for it; he's very finicky. But he does know a golden opportunity when he sees one. If he does spot one of these opportunities, he won't hesitate to jump at it, and he'll go for it harder than anyone, especially if it is of benefit to more than just himself.

Initake also enjoys literature. He likes curling up with a book to end the night, to calm himself from a day's adventure. He particularly is fond of writing that is about geography. The different landforms and terrains that inhabit the world, he finds it particularly fascinating. His mother is a very spiritual woman, so he was raised on spiritual principles, on bettering himself. He did not worship any Divine entity, but he worked on improving himself by spiritual means. He meditates a lot, to calm the soul, clear his mind, and focus on what really needs to be worked on. Much of the time, he finds he needs to rid himself of flaw, or approach something in a different manner. Though it can be done anywhere, Initake finds himself doing this in peaceful places in nature, due to his love for geography. As for people, he generally likes people who have a strong foundation. He befriends people that know what they want, and know what they're doing. If someone does not know what they're striving for in life how do they know what they're going to do on a day-by-day basis, and how are they going to get there? To him, this is the basis that life is built upon.

That being on of his dislikes, he doesn't have much more. Indecision is also one of his pet peeves, which ties into the last one. He also finds it odious if people are intolerant of the way others live their lives, but his high tolerance level allows him to ignore this, and just scowl at those. But his biggest pet peeve is rather odd. While it does make sense, it is one many people choose to ignore. He HATES hunters, poachers, fishermen, the like. He feels that animals have all the right to live on this world as much as humans do, and those who make a living eliminating animals form the equations, and furthering the gap between humans and animals on the food chain are disgraceful and a nuisance to the world.
Clan: Kousen Clan
Nindō: N/A

THE NINJA.

Origin: Lightning Country
Affiliation: Konohagakure no Sato ~ The Village Hidden in the Leaves
Rank: Genin {C-Rank}
Specialties: Ninjutsu, Weaponry
Elemental Affinities: Suiton, Raiton
Combat Style: Regardless of what his abilities are, Initake prefers to stand back during combat, and observe what's going on, if at all possible. If he can, he will always assess the battlefield from an out-of-sight spot, and wait until an opponent is beaten within an inch of their life or injured enough to where he can rush in and grab the spoils.

However, if he is drawn into combat, he will not hesitate or second-guess anything he does. If he makes a mistake, he will know how to work off of the mistake and turn it into an advantage for himself. He does prefer short range or CQC, he can work from long range as well. Specializing in exotic weaponry, he has learned many different techniques from his travels and many he has created by himself.

Generally, in combat, Initake tends to start off on the defensive, and work his way onto the offensive, taking evasive maneuvers when he deems it necessary. Doing this, he may tire himself out, but his attacking techniques require so little effort, it doesn't really matter to him. Or, if he ever gets the upper hand and gets a sneak attack, or is undetected, he can use his small body and incredible stealthiness and try to ambush the enemy. In doing so provides obvious and innumerable options from there. As far as his techniques, his ninjutsu are used primarily as hindrance techniques to wear down the opponent and strengthen himself. While on offense, they do not provide such a great punch, he is so delved into the world of CQC and weaponry techniques, he really dosn't need much of his ninjutsu when on the attack.

He does prefer to work alone when in combat, for his techniques and fighting style hasn't really complimented any of the other styles he's ever worked with prior to the modern day, for most see his "wait until the end of the battle, swoop in, and steal all the glory" to be very... friendly. But while he can work in partners or small groups, he'd have to have one who specializes in virtually the same thing as he, or in long range combat.

THE BACKGROUND.

History:
Roleplay Sample: Initake sat on the beachfront, meditating. He focused all of his thoughts to one center place, and then casually sent them away to a place where not even he could feel them, if for only a time. He felt he needed a clear conscience, with what had gone on the last few days. Initake could barely live with himself after his ridiculous and rather inhumane actions. Thus the need for his meditation. He did not do it often, and could often not focus enough to have an efficient session. But this time, he was persistent. Though there was much on his mind, the sound of the rain sprinkling softly against the ground completely calmed him, and sent him to a near twilight-like state. Not so much asleep, or unconscious, but dreaming. What he saw astounded him.

He saw himself hoisting an idol of sorts, not quite large enough to be considered a trophy, but rather an idol. It was made of a precious metal, perhaps a silver, portraying the First Raikage. He was presenting it to some large crowd to what seemed to be in the Downtown are of Kumogakure. Why he was there, he didn't know. He could tell he was there for a reason, and he was receiving cheers, and being heralded, essentially, as a hero.

There was something off, though. He was older. Much older. Maybe five to ten years older. Perhaps a vision... He thought to himself, but he could not say for sure. Though he knew it meant something, he decided to keep it in the back of his mind for now.

As if waking from a deep sleep, Initake shook his head violently, shifting back to reality, to the physical world. He looked around a couple times, being sure of his location. He exhaled deeply, happily. Crackign a small smile, Initake stood up slowly, content, for once, with his meditating session. He brushed off the back of his pants, freeing it of any mud dirt, seaweed, or otherwise. He untied his lightweight black and put it on, putting up the hood, and down his face enough to conceal his eyes.

He pulled out a small canteen from his pouch attached to his pants, and sipped a bit of flavored water from it. Refreshing. Still i wonder what the vision meant... A glimpse of the future, perhaps? It's annoying me. Indeed it did annoy him. It was in the back of his mind, trying to break its way through to the forefront of his thoughts the whole way back to the village.

Initake knew now that this would be what consumes all of his thoughts. All his previous thoughts he sent away now seemed too far gone to make their way back into his mind. He tried shooing them all away, but he knew this was altogether a futile attempt. His mind frantically sifted through all his thoughts, quickly finding solutions to some, some still haunting him and causing him worry.

Upon his arrival back at home, He placed his jacket on the clothesline, for it was now sunny, with the heat beating down on the village. He walked home, greeted his parents and sister, and went up to his room. It was an upper class home by all means, even to those richer than he envied it. He retrieved a small popsicle from the fridge in his room, and laid on his bed, eating it. He looked to his pet lizard, Oho, who looked back at him.

"Oh Oho, what am I to do? Do I strive for this vision? Do I live life as if this never occurred to me? All these roads, these junctions that I may come to, do they all lead to this same end?"
