Jiyuu, Hashira.

THE INFO.

Name: Jiyuu, Hashira
Nickname: Raiden Mouko (Fierce Lightning Tiger, 雷伝猛虎)
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Appearance:

Spoiler:

Normally, Hashira tends to dress up in whatever feels right, not caring much for the situations he might be in, or the people he might meet. What's important is the fact that he feels good in what he is wearing, seeing as that is all that really matters in a world where you are alive at one second, and might be dead in the next. As such, his hair is generally very loose and unkempt, giving him a rough and wild look in the process of doing next to nothing about it. His blond hair is quite lang, and falls over his ears, almost reaching down to his shoulders. His body is muscular due to constant training in the attempt to push himself to the next level, though it is also slender thanks to his rapid metabolism. Being roughly 1,82m tall, he stands at the middle class of Kumogakure in terms of length, falling into the same category when it comes down to weight, weighing a solid 72 Kilograms. Ever since he was a kid, most of his looks have always been similar, the years only bringing more length and muscle into the game.

In terms of clothing, Hashira tends to wear black, grey or other dark colored clothes. In general, he wears a dark, sleeveless vest that can be unbuttoned to show an open chest, and allowing him to move around easier due to the lack of sleeves. His arms are cloaked in something that is not seen much in the village, wearing arm-guards that run up to his elbows, the piece above the elbow being made out of a fishnet pattern, the entirety being black. Around his waist Hashira wears a blue tinted sash, helping him keep his baggy, gray pants from falling down to his knees. As a result of his hatred towards sandals, he wears black boots instead, hating it when he feels the wind blow past his toes and feet, giving him the feeling of not wearing any footwear at all. Many people feel like he is way too open when it comes to clothing, though he believes that it is his own choice to pick the clothes he wears as a casual clothing. Even though he has a lot more clothes then this, it is something he tends to regularly wear when not working, training or doing any form of missions for the village.

When on the job, he wears an entirely different type of clothing, giving him a much more concealed look then the open look posed by his casual attire. This attire is meant to do what a Shinobi should be doing, staying hidden from others and giving people no angle to work with. Due to everything but his neck and upper arms being concealed, it is hard for an opponent to figure out things about his body, other then the muscles that clearly show at the open spots. Hashira covers his chest with a sleeveless, black bodysuit, which is in turn covered by a sleeveless gray body armor. Due to the bodysuit, the pants are also black and quite tight, running down into his black boots. His shins are protected by small shin guards of the same color and material as his armor. His arms are covered in black gloves that run down to his elbows, having the same guards protecting his lower arm area, as well as the back of his hand. All together, this gives him the look of a member of the Anbu, more so when he is wearing his special mask. The mask shows people that he is the Fierce Lightning Tiger, having the mark of lightning near his right eye hole, and red claw marks near the right side.
Forehead Protector: Hashira wears his Headband the way is should be worn, covering his forehead with the metal plate for provided safety. When wearing his mask, the Headband and the symbol would be gone, were it not for the fact that his mask has the same symbol carved into the forehead area, thus showing everyone that he is a Kumogakure Shinobi, even when all else would be hidden behind the mask.
Personality: As a person, Hashira is not that different from anyone else, only wanting what is best for himself and the village, believing that a thing such as peace is something that is worth maintaining. On the other side of the coin, he is also a very stern and decisive person. In his eyes, respect and strength mean everything in the ninja world, and the weak should and will be crushed. The weak should not present themselves on the battlefield with fancy tricks such as Genjutsu in order to trick others, for they are weak and should be handled first. Hashira believes that the only people that should show up in battle are those that can exchange blows with one another, rather then those that need to hide behind fancy jutsu and can't handle taking a hit. Even though Hashira believes that Power and Respect are important, he finds it hard to show any respect for those specializing in the art of Genjutsu, considering them as the Bed-wetting Toddlers of the Shinobi world. Having seen a couple of them, they seemed extremely frail, to the point where they pretty much all looked like they would break when hit once. Hashira believes that the art of Taijutsu is one of the hardest to maintain, since one needs to keep their body and senses at their peak, or they'd easily be defeated. Not just that, but Taijutsu is what makes one the most vulnerable, placing his body in a way that can crush his opponent, but can also lead to his downfall when he loses his focus.

Next to being quite stern and decisive, Hashira is also headstrong and somewhat easily aggravated, this very much being the case in battle, barging right in when he spots an opening, and wasting no time when he thinks he can take down an enemy at once. As much as he likes a good fight, Hashira tends to end battles before they can properly begin, this in turn keeping the enemy from preparing themselves or setting up any decent defenses. In battle, there are a lot of lengths he'd go to if it means that he will be capable of walking out alive, and as the victor. His Taijutsu style of combat is physically brutal, as he uses extreme physical force to devastate his opponents, augmenting his physical prowess with the Lightning release, making him that much faster and stronger. Despite all of this, Hashira is capable of acknowledging and respecting the skills of other shinobi and is not above accepting defeat should they best him. If it is pointless to continue a fight, he will know when to quit, especially since he is not one to jump into any fights at all. Even though he is easily aggravated in battle, he is actually very level headed when not fighting someone, and hardly ever fights someone in a spar. These two distinct personality traits make him somewhat special, as it seems like he changes entirely when he enters a fight.

Outside of battle, Hashira is a very calm and collected individual that is extremely hard to anger or trick into doing anything he does not really want to do. There is a great deal of stuff he does not want to participate in, one of these things being the crowd of Shinobi that speak about their latest endeavors. Hashira does not much care for boasting to people, and would rather just show someone then talk about it, seeing as it's the fastest way to deal with such things in his opinion. Despite this, he does enjoy a good joke, thinking that the dirty ones are actually quite enjoyable when with the right audience. In terms of food, Hashira loves spicy and salty food, his favorite being a well done, juicy steak with a spicy sauce on the side. He also likes spiced fish, cooked deer and vegetables, knowing that's the kind of food that will keep him strong. What he does not like is Sushi, not enjoying any raw meat in his mouth or body, figuring Sushi is just way of selling fish as cheap as possible by adding some rice or seaweed. To him, paying large amounts of money for something that has not even been properly cooked or prepared is nothing short of being retarded. Then again, he has never held much love for the Rich class of Kumogakure, and most likely never will grow any. Despite this, he does not hate them, just has a lot less patience when it comes to handling this kind of folk all together. He knows few of these people well enough to make a difference, though there is only so much he can take from one of these people.

Combat Style: Hashira's style of combat is fairly simple, to hit the enemy where it hurts, as hard and as fast as possible, already preparing for the next attack while still trying to land the first. Attacking with well placed punches and accurate kicks, one would believe him to be a brute who is only knowledgeable when it comes to breaking bones and cracking skulls. This however, is not true, for Hashira is one of few Shinobi capable of sensing other peoples chakra capacity and figuring out their location rather easily, thus helping him out in battle. Mixed with his high physical speed, it is easy for him to set up efficient attacks after pinpointing an enemy, and not having a very hard time when he has to counter or straight up dodge powerful enemy jutsu. It's not that Hashira doesn't know any jutsu, it's just that he prefers to fight an opponent through means of physical combat, matching his hard work and effort against that of another, which is also the reason why he hates fighting Genjutsu users, believing them to be pansies that are afraid of receiving some damage, and have to hide behind mind games and illusions to win. What Hashira does consider as a necessity in battle is respect, respect for himself and his opponent, and only killing someone when he really has no other options, or if the opponent has caused him to lose relatives or friends. These things all add to his fighting style, for some people do not care if they kill someone or not, the knowledge of being quite capable of killing or being killed making Hashira that much more humble in battle. Next to his Taijutsu prowess, Hashira is quite capable of wielding the Water element, and regularly uses the Lightning element to augment his physical prowess. However, when he is angered, his attacks become ferocious, and he lashes out with the ferocity of a pouncing tiger. This is why some people tend to call him "Kumogakure no Raiden Mouko", meaning "Hidden Cloud's Fierce Lightning Tiger", something most people know him by in the village.
