| (Uchiha) Hikari, Sanjiro.THE INFO. Name: Sanjiro Hikari Nickname: Sanji Age: 14 Gender: Male Appearance:
Sanji is an unimposing figure, standing around 5 feet and 3 inches and looking to weigh possibly around 100 to 120 pounds. His build is the standard Uchiha body type, lithe and muscular, built more for speed than strength with no scars, tattoos, or any other markings to speak of.
Sanji often chooses to garb his lithe frame in somewhat casual clothing, usually consisting of a dark blue t-shirt worn under a grey hooded jacket that is often kept slightly unzipped or unzipped entirely and hangs low enough on his body to pass under his belt-line. The jacket possess 4 pockets in total, two front pockets that come with zippers to seal the contents inside, one small pocket on the right sleeve near the shoulder, also possessing a zipper and one on the inside of the jacket's lining that uses a zipper as well. On the back of the jacket is a red kanji insignia representing the word "Sky". The jacket was a gift given to him by his mother when he passed his exams to become genin and thus it is a treasured possession of his.
Covering his lower body is a pair of black loose fitting break-away cargo pants that possess 6 pockets in total; two in the front which contain no sealing mechanism, two on the legs which use two snap buttons to keep them closed, and two rear side which use small zippers to remain close. The cargos have, in the middle of the legs, a zipper that runs concentrically around the entirety of the pant leg. This zipper can be undone to turn the pants into shorts when needed. The bottom of the cargos possess an elastic banding in the pant legs to keep the pant legs from flowing and getting caught on anything. Because of the elastic banding Sanji opts to not wear the tape on his shins that so many other shinobi seem to do. Adorning his feet are usually a pair of traditional navy blue shinobi style sandals.
Back when Sanji was an active ninja he chose to wear his kunai holster on his left thigh, signifying his left handedness. Sanji still, at times can be seen wearing a small pouch, strapped around his waist, usually tucked underneath his jacked. The pouch is located on his lower back, right above his butt, acting as a type of fanny pack. When he was active the pouch usually housed various ninja tools but as of late it has been used to cary pens and scrolls and other various items that would be useful in the library.
When lounging around at home or on particularly warm days he may be seen forgoing the grey jacket and wearing his break-away cargos in their shorts varient, giving him a t-shirt and short appearance. While in both outfits the colors may be different at time (except the jacket) he tends to favor darker and earth tone colors rather than their brighter counterparts.
Sanji's facial features can be described as angular, and masculine, giving him a very mature and attractive look for his age. Possessing the traditional Uchiha black mane that is worn in a semi long fashion yet adorned with the traditional "spikiness" and deeps set dark brown eyes, he has been described by his mother's friends and colleagues as "tall, dark and handsome" despite not being notably tall. His appearance has caused him a certain amount of grief in the past as he was (as it seems to be with members of his clan) seen as one of the more attractive members in his class and in the village. Because of this he was often harassed by female class members in the later years of his academy training, and his mothers friends and colleagues, whom to this very day still come to the library from time to time to flirt with him.
Forehead Protector: Tied to his left arm, outside the jacket around the bicep area. The cloth is dark blue and the metal is heavily scratched.
Personality:
Sanji is a boy that seems to lack the chip on his shoulder that so many members of his clan have shown in the past. This is most likely the result of Sanji being completely oblivious of his true heritage and his rather underprivileged background, being the son of a prostitute. Coming from such a background Sanji truly believes in the idea of not judging books by their cover and not judging people by their appearance. The value of what lies beneath the surface is more important than the surface itself and as such nothing is usually ever as it seems.
This idea has stayed firmly in Sanji's mind from a young age as he is seemingly able to find value in almost anything and anyone, always looking at the good qualities. Because of this ideal Sanji is the type of person who expects the best out of those around him. Rather than being arrogant of his own abilities, he projects the excellence he demands from himself onto other people as well and will often give them the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise. A ninja who Sanji has never met will be treated as someone who is either on equal ground or superior to Sanji in every way until said ninja proves consistently that they are not of that caliber. This can and has often caused problems for Sanji as he openly expresses these high expectations to others, and is not afraid of expressing his disappointment in them when they fall short. This also manifests itself in a slight inferiority complex along with a tendency to judge oneself harshly as any failure on Sanji's part is close to unforgivable in his book and as such anyone who can do better than him is on a much higher level than he is and should be treated with respect.
In the past Sanji used to be a very driven and very happy person who was full of laughter and inner strength despite being teased by the other boys for being the son of a prostitute. But due to a recent history of loss and sorrow Sanji's personality has become one of stoicism. Rarely expressing joy or intense interest in most things anymore, Sanji can be a frustrating person to be around. He is by no means a cynic, as he still tends to see the good in most people and still possesses that inner strength and inner joy, but he will not often express such views openly. His expression is usually a stern look if not a constant frown, rarely revealing a smile. This stoicism comes from the idea of not getting to attached to anything. Sanji has been hurt by loss and does not wish to repeat it. The natural solution to the young ninja was to steel his heart against such loss by not forming strong attachments, censoring himself from feeling too much happiness or joy as these emotions tend to lead to attachment. Perhaps this may one day change as somewhere deep down in Sanji's personality is lonely child who just wants to be accepted and loved and to laugh again without fear of being hurt or rejected.
Sanji could be described as a thinker. In his early age he was identified as having a very high natural intelligence which only blossomed further during his academy years. Now that he currently resides in the village's library he can often be seen reading books or perhaps partaking in games of strategy or riddles with the old librarian who seems to have formed a bond with the boy. Due to this trait, Sanji is a thoughtful individual, usually able to put himself in other people's shoes and understand their feelings. Most of the time he uses this in a way that allows him to be tactful and considerate but if annoyed he has been known to do the opposite, either by disregarding their emotions or using them against the offender, often in a sarcastic manor. Sarcasm is probably one of Sanji's favorite weapons. The use of clever quips and the like to either berate people who annoy him or to describe frustrating situations is something that is common in Sanji's mannerisms, using this type of dry humor to make light of a situation.
At the end of the day though, Sanji is a ninja through and though and though he admittedly gave up on that life he still keeps his comrade's headband very close and still finds himself thinking back to his days as a genin. The exact reasoning of why he quit in the first place isn't exact or even firmly held in the young man and perhaps all it would take is the right incentive to bring him back into action. Until then, Sanji remains in Kumogakure's library, reading his books and playing his games, doing his best not think of the greater purpose he was most likely destined to pursue.
Clan: Uchiha
Nindō: "Everyone has value and everyone has significance thus everyone is important to the world."
THE NINJA. Origin: Lightning Country Affiliation: Kumogakure Rank: Genin Specialties: Ninjutsu; Weaponry (Main: Sword; Sub: Exotic) Elemental Affinities: Katon; Raiton Combat Style:
Utilizing a combination of ninjutsu and weaponry skills Sanji operates best at close to mid-range, rarely opting to move out to longer ranges. While in close range Sanji relies heavily on weapons, striking quickly and usually remaining on the offensive unless doing so would put him at a major disadvantage. This strategy tends to change though as more distance is created between him and his opponent, rather than pursuing his opponent, Sanji will begin to rely on ranged weapons and his ninjutsu to strike at his distant adversary. Sanji is at a major disadvantage when fights are taken to long range distances as he is not able to easily strike his opponent. As such when in long range situations he will become more defensive all the while trying to close the distance between himself and his opponent.
Due to Sanji's high IQ he is able to analyze his opponent and the current situation and is able to come up with solutions at a quick pace. This results in split second decision making and quick reactions that may seem somewhat unorthodox at the time. Sanji embraces the idea of adaptability during a fight and as such uses his high level of intellect to help him adjust to situations.
Due to his time spent at the library and his high IQ Sanji has a general knowledge about most common forms of combat, and thus has an easier time coming up with ways to counter such complications during combat in a relatively short amount of time.

THE BACKGROUND.
- History:
"Man I'm old..."
It was the first thought that came to Sanjuro Uchiha's mind as he turned under the covers, staring with his bloodshot eyes at the window of the dirty one room apartment. The sun had barely started to peek over the horizon and the dark sky outside compelled the drowsy Shinobi to get a few more hours of sleep; it was far too early for him to start his day. Unfortunately, Sanjuro's internal clock was too accurate and too powerful to allow him to continue lying in the warm futon. With a small sigh the man threw the covers off of his nearly naked form before sitting up and rubbing his sleepy eyes, removing the crusted tears from the crevices around the orb. He proceeded to reach under his pillow, pulling out the kunai he had hidden before falling asleep. The life of a shinobi was hard, sometimes too hard for Sanjuro.
With that thought in mind the man climbed to his feet and began to stretch. Several cracks and pops could be heard as his stiff body loosened up for the day's activities. The noises his body made in protest to Sanjuro's movements only reminded him of his initial thought of the day...
"Man I'm old..."
It was a thought that kept repeating itself in the man's mind. He wasn't sure when he had started to realize this but ever since then he couldn't seem to get his mind off it. It was an obsession, his age, his mortality. Though the man was only in his mid 30's and was probably in the best shape of his life, if his very toned and lithe figure were anything to go on, there were honestly days where he felt as though he were 60. This so happened to be one of those days. It was a day where his mind was so fatigued from the years of combat, missions, traumas, and stress that he wondered if he'd be able to make it through the day.
He made his way toward the chair in the corner of the room where he had folded his clothes for the day the night before. A set of civilian attire waited for him. The man grabbed the clothes, pulling them on without too much thought. Once he had dressed himself he moved to the other corner of the room, moving a small dresser to the side without too much trouble. Behind the dresser was a hole in the wall that he himself had created a while ago. Within the hole were his tools of the trade, his weapons, his jounin flack jacket, and his headband, signaling his village of origin, Konohagakure.
Sanjuro reached into the hole to pull out a small weapon's pouch. He placed the kunai he had been carrying with him within the pouch and secured the pouch around his waist. It wouldn't seem strange for a civilian to be carrying a pouch such as this. Many civilians carried bags and such full of scrolls and money and the like. Once his disguise was completed Sanjuro replaced the dresser, covering the hole and made his way toward the window. The sun had moved a bit higher and now cast the once dark sky into a brightening blue hue. How long had it been since he had arrived in Kumogakure to spy on the village? He had lost count. He had lost count of the days, lost count of how many messages he had sent, lost count of how many lies he had told and how many people he had murdered. Despite all that though, he did admit that he was starting to form an attachment to the place, something he knew, was very dangerous...
-------
The rain pelted the roof of the apartment, creating an audible pitter patter that was easily noticeable yet also blended in so well into the background. Sanjuro, when he had first come to Kirigakure hadn't been used to so much rain. In Konoha it didn't rain often, the climate of the Fire Country being a bit on the warmer side. The rains they did receive were often short lived, just enough to give the lush green forests life, but never enough to flood the area. Here though, in Kumogakure, and the Lightning Country in general, it seemed to rain all the time. It had been too often for Sanjuro's taste, too often and too much at one time. He truly detested such gloomy weather back then. But now? It was comforting to say the least. He had grown accustomed to the sound and to the cold chill it usually brought with it. It was especially calming on this night as Sanjuro was coming down from a high of adrenaline. As the shinobi stared at the blood that stained his clothes and his hands with his crimson red eyes he sighed to himself. Another life taken, it had gotten so easy for him. Only on nights like this, when he was alone in the one room apartment, with the rain beating on the roof and the window, did he truly take time to reflect upon his actions. He had snuffed out another life and he felt remorse, something a Shinobi should never feel...
----------
Men have needs and while Shinobi are tools of war they are also men and women. As such, these Shinobi have needs, needs that need to be satiated. Sanjuro contemplated this as he stared up through the darkness. The woman who's arm was draped across his chest stirred a bit in her sleep, muttering to herself as she pressed herself closer to Sanjuro. A part of Sanjuro was disgusted with himself. A shinobi was supposed to be above these types of things. To grow so desperate as to hire the service of a prostitute was a disgrace not only to himself but to his profession and his clan. Had this been a one time occurrence, perhaps Sanjuro could have been a little more forgiving with himself but sadly that was not the case. This prostitute was someone who Sanjuro had used several times over his very long stay within Kirigakure. He had even grown somewhat attached to her and he could only guess that she felt the same as she often decided to stay the night after their "business transaction". Tsumi was her name, and the fact that Sanjuro was comfortable enough with her to let her sleep in the same futon with him disgusted him to no end. He should have been better than this, and it saddened him to know that deep down, he knew he wasn't. His wife would be disgusted...
---------------
Tsumi sat across the small table from Sanjuro, eyes twisted in a rage filled glare as the man explained that he was leaving. How could he?! Where was he going? How could he leave her?! She had grown very attached to him, she had fallen in love with him, and she was now pregnant with what she knew to be his child! Sanjuro, however didn't seem to understand or care.
"There is no guarantee that the child is indeed mine. It could be any of your client's children. And in your line of work it is dangerous to form such attachments with anyone, lest you get hurt."
The statement made Sanjuro wretch inside as he spoke, he had told himself the same thing many times yet it always rang hollow. He had formed attachments, had gotten too close to Tsumi, too close to Kumogakure. He knew he'd miss the village but his mission was over, he was being called back. Tsumi would have to deal with it. It was time for Sanjuro to return home to his real life, his wife, his two children, his clan, his village. This game of make believe was over.
Tsumi could feel the tears welling up in her eyes, threatening to break the mental dam she had erected in an attempt to hold in her emotions. Sanjuro didn't know, nor would he believe her. He had been her only client for quite some time due to the frequency at which he saw her and due to the kindness he had shown her. He had stolen her heart and now he was leaving...
----------------
As the sun peeked over the horizon Sanjuro marched away from Kumogakure, leaving the village just as silently as he had infiltrated it. The Uchiha had done his job, completed the mission. It was over for him.
-----------------
The child was born on a cold winter night in the Kumogakure hospital. Tsumi was elated but not entirely surprised when she saw the baby. Black hair and deep set, dark brown eyes, just like her lost love. The child, even from day one was a spitting image of Sanjuro. Tsumi was not surprised and even though she was truly happy a small part of her lamented that Sanjuro would never see his child, their child.
"I will call you Sanjiro, after your father."
She spoke the words softly to the child as she held it close.
-------------------
Tsumi watched with a delicate smile as Sanjiro played with a spinning top. The child had grown without any problems and not at the age of 3 Tsumi was happy to say that the child was strong and healthy. Tsumi had been asked by several of her friends who the father had been. Lucky for Tsumi having a child was an occupational hazard of her profession so it was easy for her to lie about not knowing who the child's father was. The boy laughed as the top spun shakily on the ground. The child's smile reminded Tsumi of Sanjuro's smile and she wondered, as she often did, where he was and if he ever thought about her.
----------------------
"You know, Tsumi. You might want to consider the idea of sending Sanjiro to the ninja academy."
The words shook Tsumi from a small daydream she was having. Her friend was sitting across from her at the small table, sipping her tea as she stared at Tsumi.
"Why do you say that?"
"It's just a thought. He's smart enough and I here that the village takes care of their ninja and their families. He'd start earning from a young age. I know you could use the money."
Tsumi didn't like the idea of using Sanjiro as a means of earning money but it was true that things were getting harder. Tsumi was finding it hard to support herself and Sanjiro and she knew the expenses would only get worse as he continued to grow. Tsumi was also finding it harder to make money as she was getting older, now in her late twenties, people were going for the younger girls, leaving the older girls with less revenue...
--------------------
"Mommy why do I have to keep going to the academy? I hate it there!"
It was a complaint that Tsumi heard all too much. Each time she heard it it broke her heart a little on the inside but she knew that it was their best chance to survive, his and hers. Tsumi did her best to smile as she gave her son a hug.
"I need you to be strong, Sanjiro, one day you will realize why I send you there everyday. One day you will be strong and you will be glad that you did this."
Tsumi hoped her words were true and that all this would come to pass. She hoped Sanjiro wouldn't grow up hating her and that he'd be safe.
------------------
"Congratulations Sanjiro!"
Sanjiro turned suddenly as one of his favorite instructors clasped a hand on his shoulder, congratulating the boy on passing his Genin entrance exams. Sanjiro was a true Shinobi now and he didn't think he could feel any prouder. With a big smile on his face he bowed his head.
"Thank you, sensei."
It had been a hard journey with many trials but Sanjiro had overcome them and on this day he stood as one of the newly appointed genin and with good scores to boot. To say it was easy would be a lie. Sanjiro had struggled many times but with the encouragement of his mother and his instructors all of whom seemed to see potential in the young ninja, he had made it through.
------------------
"Team 13 will consist of Hakiri, Sanjiro; Kuhei, Kenshin; Tsukiyo, Ami"
Sanjiro sat in the lecture hall, eyeing his new team mates from across the room as their names were called. He wasn't sure whether he should be happy or not as Kenshin had always been an annoyance to him while Ami was simply a brat in his opinion.
------------------
"Sanjiro, Kenshin. I've had it up to here with your constant squabbling!"
Their jounin sensei, Ichiro, was frustrated to say the least as he held two kunai in one hand. His eyes were narrowed into small slits as he glared at both the young genin. Sanjiro had been in the same team as Kenshin and Ami for close to 2 months. He had been on a good number of D rank missions with them all the while training with them to improve his abilities. Despite that though he and Kenshin still couldn't seem to get along. Ichiro gave an exasperated sigh before flinging the two kunai at both Kenshin and Sanjiro's feet. The kunai found their marks two inches in front of the two genin, causing them to jump back.
"I'm tired of it, take those kunai and fight. If you hate each other that much then fix it so only one of you lives."
Before Sanjiro or Kenshin could protest Ichiro was gone, disappearing in a whirl of mist. Sanjiro and Kenshin slowly reached for the kunai on the ground and once both held the kunai firmly in their hands rushed one another. This fight would have to settle everything...
-----------------
"I'm sorry son, you can't go in there, this is a crime scene."
"But that's my home! What about my mother!"
"I'm sorry..."
The ninja police man blocked Sanjiro's way into his own home as Sanjiro tried to push past him. Soon Sanjiro felt a strong hand wrap around his arm, yanking him back.
"Mom! Mom! MOM!"
Sanjiro yelled as he was dragged away from his home, knowing all too well that no matter how loud he screamed his mother wouldn't answer him. She'd never be able to answer him again.
-------------------------
"You can't quit!"
Kenshin yelled angrily, his face red as a beat.
"You are a Cloud Shinobi, you can't just walk away from that! I won't let you!"
"Take your temper-tantrum somewhere else, Kenshin. I'm done. My mother's dead. I have no reason to continue."
Kenshin growled angrily at the response.
"What about me and Ami?"
Sanjiro's eyes shot toward Ami who remained silent, her eyes full of pity and sorrow.
"I don't care. You'll manage without me."
Kenshin balled his hands into tight fists as the memory of their death match came back to him. How Sanjiro and him had been so evenly matched that they had fought for hours without anyone gaining the upper hand. Both had eventually collapsed due to exhaustion, neither one able to finish off the other. It was then that Kenshin had felt that he and Sanjiro had started to become friends and rivals. Now Sanjiro was walking away from all of it!
"I won't let you leave!"
Kenshin's words were a low hiss as he tried his best to keep himself from screaming. Sanjiro just stared coldly at the boy before untying his head band from around his forehead. He'd then hold it out to Kenshin.
"I said I'm done. I don't want to do this anymore."
As Kenshin just stared dumbly at the offered headband Sanjiro released it, letting it fall to the ground with a clatter as it hit the ground. Kenshin stared at the headband in disbelief as Ami's eyes followed Sanjiro's form as he walked away.
---------------------------
"Sanji! Sanji! Open the door! Please open the door!"
Sanjiro groaned as he awoke to someone screaming outside the small rented one room living space. It had been two months since he had quit his squad. Since then he had gotten a job working at the village's library. It didn't pay much but he got to stay within the living quarters for free and made a little money, enough to eat and some for saving. Sanjiro slowly got up, moving to the door, opening it without even bothering to look through the peep hole. The voice was familiar, it was Ami. He'd never forget her voice.
"Ami, what's wrong?"
Sanjiro's expression was somewhat cold. Seeing her wasn't exactly pleasant as it brought back memories.
"Kenshin, Kenshin...he's in trouble!"
The news hit Sanjiro like a pile of bricks. He felt as though the world lurched beneath him and he almost lost his footing.
"Where? What's going on?"
"Kenshin's been trying to find your mother's killer. He's been murdering women randomly over the past two months. Kenshin finally tracked him down but he left yesterday and I haven't heard from him since! He said he was going to an old warehouse on the edge of town."
Sanjiro knew the place she was talking about, most people didn't go there as it was rumored to be haunted. While most considered it just a superstition, it was so far out of the way that it wasn't worth exploring.
"Notify the police. I'm going after him."
With that he reached for Ami's kunai holster, yanking a kunai from the small pouch without a second thought and rushed off to save his former comrade.
Sanjiro stared with a blank expression as Kenshin's corpse lie motionless on the dirty warehouse floor. Sanjiro wanted to call out to him but he knew Kenshin wouldn't answer. The boy felt a tightening pain in his chest as he drew closer to Kenshin's body. His lifeless eyes stared up at Sanjiro and though he knew that Kenshin couldn't see him he still felt as though Kenshin were glaring at him, accusing him of abandoning the team. Perhaps if Sanjiro had stuck around he could have saved his friend.
"I'm sorry..."
The words were automatic, no thought was given as they slipped out. He'd kneel down, placing his hand on Kenshin's eyelids and bring them down to close his friend's eyes. He'd then move his hand up to Kenshin's headband, pulling it off his head. Sanjiro tied the headband around his own head, securing it before his eyes darted in the direction where he thought he had heard a sound. He was not alone here. Sanjiro brought the kunai up, ready to defend himself.
------------------------
Sanjiro sat on the hospital bed, his right arm wrapped up tightly along with a set of stitches on the left side of his abdomen. The man who had been responsible for over 6 murders within the city was finally apprehended but by the time the police had arrived he had been inches away from death, defeated by Sanjiro. The victory didn't come easy, in fact Sanjiro was sure that if Kenshin hadn't already worn down the attacker then Sanjiro would have been the one who had been defeated, and he'd be the one who was inches away from death, or perhaps he'd have been dead right out. Sanjiro had gotten lucky, while he had lost a lot of blood during the fight he was still breathing and no permanent damage had been done, at least physically.
------------------------
Sanjiro sighed as he placed the last book in its proper location on the shelf. Once he was finished he made his way back to the front desk only to be surprised to see Ami standing there.
"I haven't seen you in a while."
She said sheepishly as she let her eyes focus on one of the books on the front desk.
"I've been here, like always."
"I know....I wanted to ask you if you still are against the idea of being a ninja."
The question left Sanjiro wondering the same thing. Would he continue to be a Shinobi? It was a hard decision to make.
"I'm not sure...but you shouldn't wait. You and Ichiro-sensei should assemble a new team."
"I see....you're probably right. I just thought..."
Ami paused as she seemed to search for the right words.
"You kept Kenshin's headband. So I know you will become a Shinobi again...infact I don't think you ever quit."
Sanjiro didn't answer. He stared silently at the girl for a long time as she shifted under his gaze.
"I need to get back to work, Ami. It was nice talking to you."
With that Sanjiro grabbed another stack of books and began to walk away from the front desk.
"Yeah...."
- Roleplay Sample:
Sanjiro raced through the village, his feet hitting the pavement forcefully with each stride. He had never run so fast in his life. His breath was hurried and came in short yet sharp bursts as his chest heaved in and out in a desperate attempt to supply his body with the much needed oxygen. In one hand he held the kunai from which he had taken from Ami's holster, holding it downward so as not to accidentally stab himself. He imagined to anybody staring at him on this cloudy morning he may have looked depraved or even dangerous as he rushed through the village with this kunai brandished so openly. He did his best to push the thought from his mind as his thoughts refocused on Kenshin. He hoped he wasn't too late to save his friend.
Please be okay!
It was the thought that kept running through his head and as he found his way to one of the many sets of stairs that littered the mountain city. Up he went, ascending the stairs as fast as his legs could manage, taking them two at a time with each stride. Each second seemed like an hour to him. He wasn't moving fast enough! Despite his distress he did manage to notice the sky growing darker as more clouds moved in over head, blotting out the sun's rays and casting the already over cast skies to an even darker color. It was as if the sky was foreshadowing darker things to come.
Eventually Sanjiro would come to the old warehouse and as if on cue, the sky seemed to burst, letting the downpour of rain come. Sanjiro hesitated as the rain pelted him. He didn't hear any noise coming from within the warehouse. That wasn't a good sign....

| A few things I have to point out about your application:
- Split that huge paragraph in Appearance into two smaller ones. Maybe your Combat Style two. It makes it extremely easier for the reader.
- Add a second Specialty to your character. You also have a "Weaponry" title, without any material. So I guess your second is going to be Weaponry?
- Your maximum limit is 15 Jutsu. You can add more if you wish to.
- "Image URL: I can't post open links yet, sorry." I fail to understand.
Take care of these things, then I go further in depth. |

| Alright, dealing with the issues in the order you presented them:
- Paragraphs has been split up to be more readable. Appearance has been split. Personality has been split a bit more, and combat style has both been split and re-written to account for the addition of the second specialty.
- Weaponry with main focus on Swords and sub focus on exotic weapons has been added. I moved my genin kit to an items subheading rather than having it in weapons and I also selected a C rank weapon.
- I have given myself 15 jutsus, excluding the academy level jutsu.
- The site will not allow me to post an external URL as I am a new member who only registered 2 days ago, so that means that I need to wait another 5 days to be able to put an actual external link in the text. The link can be found though if you go to my image and retrieve the link from the image. I'm sorry.
- What else seems to be the problem with the application? |

This appears in your Katon Jutsu Spoiler. Please remove and change Weapon Jutsu into Weaponry Jutsu. A bit trivial, but needed anyway.
Apart from that, I cannot spot any additional issues concerning your application. Thank you for your work.
Approved 1/2 |
