Theme: "Footloose"Name: Toshi "Fool" Kurosaki
Age: 13 Years Old
Gender: Male
Ranking: Genin
Personality: Very flamboyant, and very care-free. He sees the world as a stage, and sees himself as the star of the show. He does every little thing with a sort of emphasized flair. He doesn't care if no one watches him, he believes it is their lost. However if he does manage to capture one's attention he will not let go. So yes, he is an attention whore, the sort of kid that would cry "wolf" just so people could notice him. Sarcasm and practical jokes are his favorites, especially the sort that aren't funny at all. He really isn't afraid to make a fool out of himself in front of everyone. If someone laughs at him he succeeded in his "mission", if someone ignores him he failed. He would even openly mock people who get on his nerves. "Openly mocking" is defined as pranks, insults, and ruthless jokes. "People that get on his nerves" are defined as people who are way too serious or people who dare to hurt his already too large ego. He absolutely hates people who think their so smart that they think they can take away his wonderful spotlight. He guards that spotlight like an eagle guards a nest. In fact, take away his spotlight and he'll do anything he can to get back at you, and trust me it won't be pretty. Authority doesn't work well in the equation either. I'm telling you, there is no way you wouldn't find him being scolded by someone ten years older than him. You guessed it, he's a troublemaker brat, and stubborn too. The kid won't give in easily, with a strong will that rivals that of a wild horse easily making him prone to punishments, and winning. Despite this he is EASILY destracted (mostly by that darn spotlight), giving him a disadvantage in battle. Only his cunning personality and stratagy adapt mind can save him from getting his butt handed to him on a silver platter. Did I mention the brat likes to openly mock and trick his opponents? The little bugger.
Appearance: Toshi first of all is a small boy, standing at only 4' 5". As a result he is often found strolling around the streets on top of a pair of walking sticks in order to make him seem taller. Another thing you'll notice about this kid is his mousy hair. Seriously, it's all frizzly and looks like it hadn't been brushed since the time the kid was born. His hair color is a dirt brown, which gives him the appearance of having a wild animal on him. His eyes are a deep brown, and always have this innocent look to them, his personality a complete opposite of what his eyes suggest. In case you haven't noticed, the kid doesn't stick out much, and can be easily be confused with a street rat, what with his tanned complexion in all he looks quite plan if not messy. Those big ears don't do him any justice either. He is also very skinny and VERY flexable. Who knows how the kid does half the stuff he can do.
However the way he dresses is in total contrast to his physical appearance, one might wonder why the heck he's a ninja in the first place with the way he dresses, which is quite flashy. It's almost as if he's going to some sort of exclusive performance with those clothes. The clothes in question usually consists of brown baggy trousers with multi-colored patches litering the thing, giving it an appearance of some poorly made quilt, pants mode. What's even more crazy is his vest, his "Vest of Many Colors" he calls it. Actually, it's just a bunch of patches (again) sewn together as a vest, with some gold thread embolding the hems and collar (which is really high by the way). This "vest" has too many pockets to count, both on the inside AND outside. One would wonder what the heck he keeps in those pockets. That's his little secret. As for shirts, who needs them? The kid never wears them, unless he has a good reason (one reason might be cold weather). Otherwise, forget about it. He wears the standard forehead protector around his head in the average position, nothing different, just...average. Around his arms is wrapped bandages that hide countless injuries gained from pure stupidity. He also has wrapped bandages around his legs (especially the around the feet) to emphasize this said stupidity. He NEVER wears any sandals or any footwear for that matter. He simply sees no need for footwear as he hardly ever walks anyways, using your feet for walking is so
boring. Instead he is often find on a pair of walking sticks, walking on his hands, or using an overly dramatic unicycle. The kid likes using his feet for activities that require a hand (i.e. eating, writing, carrying simple stuff, throwing kunais/shurikens).
He looks like a clown okay? However he always carries three medium-sized bowls stacked inside of eachother on his back, held together by twin thick ropes that criss-cross eachother, as if it's some sort of backpack. No one knows why he carries these bowls, maybe he likes eating out of three bowls at once? If he wants to blend in, he wears a silky black cloth like a cloak, or a cape. This cloak is more than just a fashion statement mind you.
Justu/SkillsTaijutsu:Trapeze Style Taijutsu----Mix complicated gymnastics with obscure breakdancing and this is pretty much what you'll get. Only thing is, you CAN'T touch the ground for over five seconds in this style, it loses its "flare". This style requires a great deal of flexibility, patience, and it's probably a good idea that you have some sort of trapeze on you, it doesn't have to be hanging twenty feet over the ground either. This style is mostly used to disarm, disrupt your opponents balance, or render them unconcious. Kicking and complicated flips are a key part to this style of fighting, and spinning on one's head isn't unheard of either.
Triple Summersault Kick----This REALLY requires a trapeze, or else it won't work. This is Toshi's signiture move (when it comes to Taijutsu), and is basically made up of launching one's body into the air, doing three summersaults while airborne to increase momentum, and hurling oneself downwords toward one's opponent at breakneck speed. This usually ends in a kick to a head, causing critical damage, and will most likely get the opponent dirty.
Ninjutsu:Cloaking Jutsu----AKA Invisability. The user cloaks himself with a wall of chakra that tricks the opponent's eyes into thinking that the user isn't there, when he actually is (note, you can still kick his butt). One might be able to pinpoint the user if the look for a ripple in color in the environment. Toshi likes to use his silky black cloth for this one. He purposefully wears it like a cloak, releasing and absorbing specific colors to match that of the environment around him. Requires really good memory, otherwise just create that wall of chakra, don't even bother doing what Toshi does. He just does it for flare.
Copycat Jutsu----This jutsu is a form of mimicry, it allows the user to copy a jutsu of their opponent's creation. This jutsu requires good memory (again), and a high amount of concentration. Please note the copied jutsu is less powerful than the real jutsu. In other words, it's like a cheap version of the real thing.
Light Glare----Toshi flips a very shiney, very golden coing into the air, which reflects the sun's rays towards the opponents eyes, causing temperary blindness (up to sixty seconds).
Whirlwind of Colors----Toshi lanches himself in the air with his silky black cloth in hand before spining around in a spiral direction. Instead of using the black cloth as a cloaking device he uses it as a distraction, once the cloth gains rythme he would envelope with a series of brilliant colors designed to captivate the opponent while Toshi flings twenty "invisable" konais at his opponent that are attached to very thin, nearly invisable strings five of which have exploding tags attached to them. After a couple explosions here and there, Toshi then readies himself for the next jutsu in line.
Whirlwind of Blades----15 konais attached to 15 very thin, nearly invisable strings are whirled around in a fierce whirlwind as Toshi performs a sort of brekdance on the ground which ends in him spinning on his head like a top at an incredable speed. Produces a deadly whirlwind capable of critical damage to the opponent.
Genjutsu:Trio of Bowls Trick----Toshi uses his three bronze bowls as coverings for this jutsu. He places one gold coin (using his walking sticks) under one bowl, flipping it over along with the other two which contains "nothing". He then switches them around at a breakneck pace before requesting the opponent to pick the one with the golden coin under it. All bowls have a surprise under it, so it doesn't matter which bowl you pick, only the bowl supposedly hidding golden coin has a very
explosive surprise. If the opponent picks the correct the right bowl, he/she will be rewarded with fireworks only to find that the entire thind was an illusion, and Toshi slyly holding a golden coin in his hands. Requires genjutsu, and a pair of walking sticks. The illusion is basically centered around the sense of touch and sight, and possibly smell. Note the victim CAN feel pain.
Equipment:*3 medium-sized bronze bowls
* 2 bamboo rods that can easily transform into two eight feet tall walking sticks with eight hidden slots (think a retractable telescope). Eachslot has three hidden, different colored buttons. The first button is blue and causes a small metal plane to appear (maybe about four inches long), planes capable of holding feet if you catch my drift, this opens a door for the second button. The second button is yellow and causes twin retractable bar to appear (again, think retractable telescope) that links with it's brother in order to create a possible ladder step or simple a trapeze. The third button is red and is pressed to get rid of all those little planes and those bars, as well as activate all the planes and bars, it all depends on when its pressed. Inside both rods/walking sticks are two blades located at the thin ends of the rods/walking sticks. These can be released and retracted via the simply flick of a switch at the tops of the rods/walking sticks. The bamboo rods/walking sticks themselves are coated with a reddish sort of glaze giving it a slight shine, with decorative carvings of a circus event running down both rods/walking sticks. Very fancy, very overdone. This is obviously Toshi's most used item, not just in battle but in everyday routines, like eating for example. They make pretty good chopsticks.
*A black silky cloth that is 10 meters in both base and height, but only 1 centimeter in width (often wears it like a cape, or as a cloak)
*1 set of twenty kunais and shurikens each
*5 exploding tags
*2 smoke bombs
*1 medium-sized bomb with a fuse
Background: Toshi's father was the son of a highly regarded Genjutsu using ninja of the Hidden Village. The said ninja was a former pupil of the Ninja Academy, and strict keeper of the ninja way. Commited to tradition, he sent Toshi's father to the Ninja Academy, expecting him to graduate with high honors like himself. Imagine his rage when Toshi's father took off at the age of fifteen in search of a life full of fame and fortune. He ultimately ran into a traveling group of circus performers, famous for their trapeze performances. He watched one of their performances and fell in love with the eldest daughter, Maki. Madly in love Toshi's father asked Maki's father if he could take his daughter's hand in marriage. Maki's father agreed on one condition, Toshi's father must perform in the next performance. Long story short, crowds loved him, he married Maki, and Toshi was born. It didn't take long until Toshi's grandpa heard of his birth, and waited until the boy was old enough to be admitted into the Ninja Academy, to privately advise his son that he sends Toshi to the Ninja Academy to become a ninja. It didn't take the guy long to find his son and grandson, for their next performance was in the Hidden Leaf Village. Grandpa took this time to make his request, which dad agreed to after a moments hesitation. The entire family of performers saw young Toshi off that day, and Toshi's grandfather brought him before Konada, to request his admitance into the Academy. It wasn't easy (tons of heated discussion, the works) but Toshi's grandpa finally convinced Konada to allow Toshi's admittance into the Academy.
