Language Spoken: Common
Alignment: Good, Chaotic
Birth Country: Bird Country
Village: Valley of the Exiles; the Hisakawa family has always been nomadic family, moving through the elemental nations, refusing to settle down or swear alliance to any power beside the family. They have sacred ground within Bird Country, known as the Valley of the Exiles where the family gathers once every 10 years, but no permanent infrastructure exists upon the site.
Ninja/Non-ninja: Non-ninja; due to the fact the Hisakawa family maintains no ties to any Hidden Village, they are not considered as ninja, or a shinobi clan. However, due to their ability to wield chakra and make use of ninja techniques, they refer to themselves as Chakra Wielders. 

Personality:
Orphaned at age three when his parents were killed missing-nin, Hikaru is a demure but inquisitive person, often described by the older members of the Hisakawa family as being a free spirit, bordering on rebellious. Teased and excluded by the other children of the Hisakawa family for his strange looks, that saw him labelled as a freak, he spent much of his time on his own, wandering through the various towns and villages they stayed near, preferring his own company to that of others. Not even his carers could get him to stay with the family for any length of time unless absolutely necessary. It was during this isolation in his childhood that he got his inquisitive nature, as he would spend as much time as possible in the various libraries and bookstores of the large cities that the family would trade with, and this developed into an insatiable thirst for any and all types knowledge. He often dreams what it would be like to leave the family and simply wander the earth on his own, but he currently has not left as his parents wished for him to stay with the family until he could fend for himself.

As part of a nomadic family outside the authority of any nation or faction, Hisakawa has learnt to disregard the laws of the various nations, viewing them as little more than the powerful trying to control the masses through oppressive means. Instead, he places trust in what he views as being the laws of nature; that people have the right to an undeniable personal freedom to do whatever they wish. He has no wish to join any nation or village, as civil society to him is little more than an iron cage that people are trapped in and he believes that people are too narrow minded to realize the truth of their situation or are too weak willed to leave the comforts of civil society.

Despite his views on society, Hikaru still values goodness, even if the rest of his moral compass is somewhat skewed. He would happily go out of his way to help someone in need, provided of course that they truly deserved his benevolence. To him, the truly good should be treated as such and respected, even if they live within the confines of civil society. Laws and social norms are happily disregarded in the pursuit of happiness and goodness; theft can always be committed on a thief to help the victim and honor simply restrict one’s actions. Authority is there to be challenged and to be done away with, and the death of a corrupt official could be easily justified by helping those worst off.

Appearance:

Like his father his father, whom he resembles the most, Hikaru is tall for his age and stands out in a purely physical sense when compared to the other children of the Hisakawa family. His hair is deep black, darker than the hair of the other black haired members of the family, described cruelly by the other children as being as black as the void. His eyes are, in contrast, the palest of icy blues. High cheekbones and his alabaster skin tone complete his aristocratic, but undeniably haughty look. A thin scar above his left eye, a result of his aunt’s cat, only adds to his haughtiness. Like his mother, he is naturally left handed, a fact that added to his isolation by the other children of the family, all of whom were right handed. Through hard work, he has trained himself to be ambidextrous for convinces sake, though he still prefers to write with his left-handed. His voice, although not overly feminine, is slightly higher pitched and resembles a summery breeze, and he was often been mistaken as his mother when he first started speaking.

Given that their nomadic nature, Hikaru was expected to carry his own weight as soon as possible, and years of constant walking and carrying the weight of his gear, that which wasn’t stored away in seals or carried by the pack animals, has left him fit and strong. Even though he is of slim build and not overly toned, he is fitter and stronger than the average child his age, and is the fastest of the Hisakawa children his age, even if it is only just. Hikaru’s apparel is not based on fashion but on practicality, meant to keep for long period of time, even through the harsh trials of constant travel. He wears a straw hat and a cloak to keep himself from being burnt by constant exposure to the sun, heavy duty boots and lightweight pants and shirts. His most prized piece of clothing is his father’s rose-tanned leather belt, which he wears at all times, except for when he bathes.

Background:

Tracing their heritage back to the time of the Sage of Six Paths, the Hisakawa family was always capable of using chakra and the relevant shinobi skills to an extent many shinobi couldn’t. However, they never once regarded themselves as a shinobi clan, and still don’t. Instead, they have always considered themselves to be wandering shinobi, the continuation of an era long since passed, not bound by the strict organisation of shinobi clans, and generally removed from the politics that affects the various nations, only getting involved when there were mercenary contracts available. It is this nomadic lifestyle that has led to the Hisakawa family being considered as a relic of the past, but despite this image, the family remains well aware of technological innovations and developments in the shinobi arts, and have always managed to acquire knowledge such developments.

Hikaru was born to Isao and Misao Hisakawa at the peak of the Hisakawa strength, with the family numbering just over three hundred. His father was absent for much of his first two years of life, being one of the family’s most powerful shinobi, but Hikaru adored his father and treasured the time he got to spend with him. His mother, by contrast, was always present, being a medic, and took care of looking after and raising Hikaru. The first two years of Hikaru’s life were peaceful, and the family traveled through different nations before returning to the Valley of the Exiles for their ritual gathering. It was upon the night of his third birthday, the final night the family would spend at the Valley of the Exiles before departing for another ten years, that Hikaru’s, and the whole Hisakawa family’s, life changed for ever. For the first time in two centuries, someone attack the Valley of the Exiles, and a group of over three dozen missing-nin attacked. The missing-nins were all killed during the attack and during the following days as they were hunted down in retribution, but the attack left close to a full third of the Hisakawa’s dead, including Hikaru’s parents.

Taken in by his paternal aunt and uncle, who had no children of their own, Hikaru left with the survivors of the attack, heading west into the unknown lands for close to two full years. During this period, Hikaru’s isolation from the other children began, spurned for his unusual hair and eye colour and for the fact that the attack had happened on his birthday. On his sixth birthday, the family was camped outside the capital of Lightning Country, Enrai, when Hikaru first stumbled upon a library. He had read books of course; the family carried enough books and other forms of information to teach their children, but it was this discovery that started his love of learning and thirst for knowledge. From then on, Hikaru would always try to spend as much time in libraries or bookstores, reading on various topics.

As tradition dictated, Hikaru began training at age seven alongside the five other children his age. The second to unlock their chakra, Hikaru possessed the largest chakra capacity of the children, comparable to children of major shinobi clans such as Konoha’s Uchiha, and was taught to hone his chakra control. Through the trials and lessons of his training, Hikaru discovered that he had and affinity to genjutsu and kenjutsu and he managed to carve himself a wooden sword to practice with, though his ninjutsu lagged behind as a result. It was also while he was seven years old, that Hikaru’s moral compass began to take shape. Having stopped at a large town in Wind Country, Hikaru had slipped away from his aunt and uncle in order to find the local library or bookstore. While trying to find his destination, he stumbled upon a pregnant woman being harassed by her landlord for not being able to pay her rent on time. When the man struck her, Hikaru intervened and almost knocked the man unconscious before his uncle and the local police interfered. Hikaru himself was let go with a warning, while the landlord walked away completely free, as the pregnant woman was forced to pay a fine for avoiding paying her rent. After three years of training, Hikaru was considered competent enough to finish his basic training and start undertaking jobs alongside the older members of the family.

[Nickerly]

This is finished. Could a Staff Member move this to the completed character creation section please.

[Ancestor Febrie]

Hello, let's begin with your first steps into the large world.

I'll begin with asking if you want to be a ninja of a village or a non-ninja. There is a slightly different rule to creating both.

Ninja - as a ninja you automatically get all the lowest ranked academy techniques which you do not need to quote in this bio.

Non-ninja - you do not gain any academy techniques at all and you have to start with Kinobori no Waza - Act of Tree Climbing from the academy techniques section.

For your freebies section, you get 8. These can be perceptions, release, traits or skills. You already got 2 traits there that take 1 freebie each so you can choose 6 more. I'll give you and example of a release freebie since in your freebies sections you have chosen normal techniques that are supposed to be for free starting techniques. ex

Suiton no Jutsu (Water Release Skill)
Rank: "C"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: ---
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: With this skill, or release, the user is now capable of using, and performing techniques that deal with the element of Water. This means that any NinJutsu or specialized TaiJutsu that deals the Water Release will need this in order to be performed correctly.
Limit: ---

This release will let you learn any water technique since this is the perquisite for them.

As you are not in any bloodlimit you can have 5 starting techniques, those can be anything except for traits which I recommend taking for your freebies since you cannot gain any of them after the bio is graded.

Hopefully this helped you.

[Nickerly]

Thanks for some of the clarification.
I've edited some stuff so that I've clarified whether my character will be a ninja or non-ninja, and given a reason why. I've also replaced one of my freebies with the Kinobori no Waza - Act of Tree Climbing - the freebie I had was a simple C-rank, so if I want, I can always dedicate some time to relearning it.
As for my other freebies, they were chosen with more RP reasons in mind. I feel that given the one of the two sword based Taijutsu styles I've chosen requires the Shunshin, it would make sense to have them as part of my starting techniques, hence being in freebies.

If there's anything else I need to edit, please let me know

Thanks!

Hmmm, your freebies (shunshin tech tree) and Kinobori no Waza - Act of Tree Climbing aren't freebies. Instead they are techniques, starter techniques if you want.

"For your freebies section, you get 8. These can be perceptions, release, traits or skills. You already got 2 traits there that take 1 freebie each so you can choose 6 more."

Here I've noticed you want to take

Blade Weave
Rank: "C"
Skill: GenJutsu
Effect: A Blade Weave Jutsu imbues the user's melee attacks with a fascinating pattern or rhythm that entrances the opponent.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback:
Description: Affects anyone the user attacks. The user is able to perform this technique on themselves. The duration of this technique lasts for 5 rounds per class level. Any round that the user attacks with a melee weapon (including unarmed), the user can make a single touch attack within that round using Blade Weave. This attack deals no damage. Instead, anyone successfully touched by the weapon must succeed on a save or be dazed for 1 round.
Limit: Must know the Pattern Perception.

So to fit within the requirements a freebie you would take is

Pattern Perception
Rank: "C"
Skill: GenJutsu
Effect: Jutsu allows the user to perform Pattern Perceptions.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Patterns, like Figments and Glamours, produce sensory impressions, and everyone within range perceives the same thing. Patterns contain an additional, mind-affecting element, and they can cause real, physiological effects. All patterns are Mind-Affecting Jutsus. While everyone sees a color spray, only some of those within the cone actually deal with its effects. Note: that a particular sense is required for patterns to have an effect. Sightless creatures ignore Color Spray, for instance. If you want multiple subjects to be affected by what they see, and you do not care if everyone perceives it happening, pattern might be a good choice.
Limit: ---

You've also taken Busosen and order to have Keihatsu Ryuu: Kagenui (Shadow Stitch) you'll need to take this stance as a freebie

Keihatsu Ryuu: Battōjutsu no Kamae (Art of Drawing the Blade Posture)
Rank: "E"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: The basic stance used for all of the Busōsen (Arms Flash) techniques.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Picture User stands in a long "L" stance. The Forward foot is pointing towards the opponent while the back leg is perpendicular. The weight is evenly distributed between the 2 legs. The sword and sheath is attached to the belt on their hip. Their free hand holds onto the edge of the sheath, while their main hand readies itself near the Tsuba of the Sword. The main hand shoulder should face the opponent.
Limit: Must learn from a Master of Busōsen (Arms Flash).

One more thing for Keihatsu Ryuu: Kagenui (Shadow Stitch) the requirements say you need 5 shunshin, this is meant as Shunshin no Jutsu - Oshi (Body Flicker Technique - Push). Shunshin no Jutsu - Oshi (Body Flicker Technique - Push) you get 3 when you 1st get it, so you need 2 more for it to be 5 and meet those requirements. You can do it like this 3x Shunshin no Jutsu - Oshi (Body Flicker Technique - Push) which will give you the requirements.

[Nickerly]

Cool,thanks for the info.

I've done a general reworking of parts of my character with that information, sacrificing a few techniques to keep what was critical - I can spend time learning them - and added the perceptions, stances and releases I would need. Also added two more traits to use all freebies.

If anything else needs changing let me know!

[Shallistera]

Awesome 1/3

If you didnt know you can PM the blue names to check your bio or ask in the cbox.
