Personality:

 Hotaka is pretty abrasive he doesn't care what others think of him and he tends to snap at people for really little things. even though he snaps at almost everyone he has a silver tongue and uses it to his advantage and will cut you down in a nanosecond. When he's having a bad day his silver tongue leaves and he just becomes a walking time bomb just waiting to blow up on someone way worse then normal. On the other hand being under tremendous stress/pressure Hotaka loses his snippy attitude and thinks out every little step he wants to take and tries to stay two steps ahead of his opponent.

Hotaka is actually very smart albeit what other might think he tends to dumb himself down in public. he may not show it unless he's under extreme stress or pressure or when fighting a tough opponent . he doesn't like to show that he's smart, he would prefer people think he's just a rude guy that doesn't care for anything but himself, Instead of them thinking that he may be rude but under that he could out smart you any day. He likes to be underestimated because he feels like it gives him the upper hand. To him being underestimated means you have a better chance of surviving a tough battle.

Being blind has never bothered Hotaka because he sees it as a strength not only in battle but as a way to get what you want...he just plays the blind card. he may not be able to see but his other senses are sharper they others and he knows it and uses it. he uses his superior hearing to listen in on other peoples conversations to pick up useful information and to be in the know. a favorite pastime of Hotaka's is setting somewhere people don't notice him and just listing to their chatter. he learns a lot of things he really shouldn't, he also enjoys listing to the birds, he finds their songs relaxing after a hard days work.

Hotaka loves music and even taught himself to play the flute when he was ten with his sister's encouragement. he has a talent for genjustu and uses his flute to execute them he has tried other ways but the flute has been the best. he thinks that he's more dangerous with his flute then with his own staff, and he's been training with it sense he was five he loves that thing it was a gift from his father. Hotaka will sometimes play his flute in the park to practice his genjustu on the birds above him. the reason he loves genjustu is because not many people expect it and over look it.

Hotaka gets his smarts from his mom but his temperament and mouth from his dad that greats on everyone's nerves. his mouth and temperament get him into a lot of trouble at home and out of home he knows when not to say something but he says it anyway. he would rather work by himself but working in a team gets things done faster and he's not the only target for the bad guys and if he has to he will sacrifice one of his teammates so he can live. he will backstab anyone if the reward is good enough and out weighs the betrayal. He also has no regard for human life and shows no mercy to those that try to harm him.

Appearance:

Hotaka is called sexy even though he cant see it. his golden blonde hair is silky soft, Hotaka keeps the sides and back short but keeps his bangs long, they fall to just below his nose. his nose is slim and straight and a little on the long side. Hotaka keeps his bangs on the right side of his face covering his right eye leaving his left eye for everyone to see. His eyes are a pale green and have a cloudy look and show no emotion. his lips are quite thin and are a nice pale pink color, they are constantly in a scowl. His skin is lightly sun kissed due to him spending time outside he doesn't like to show off his body. 

Hotaka wears a lot of hoodies in greens, whites, and yellows, some are zip up and some pullover. on the odd chance he's not wearing a hoodie he usually has on a tank-top in blues, yellows, or whites, or a tee-shirt in purples, reds, and blacks. Hotaka wears skinny jeans that are tight in all the right places that show off his assets, mostly in grays, reds, and blacks. He will never be seen in shoes only sandals, he hates his feet getting sweaty and just feels better knowing his feet wont stink. Hotaka has a star pendent that he never takes off, it was his older sisters.

Hotaka's mission gear is way different then his every day clothes. He trades his hoodies for an open dark gray flack jacket that goes down to his knees with his clans symbol on the back. under his jacket is a black tank top that is over a long sleeved fishnet shirt in red. His skinny jeans are replaced with dark gray shorts that fall just below his knees that have a blood red strip down the right leg. he has weapon pouches tied to the belt loops on his left and right sides and one right over his butt. and on his feet are standard black sandals with enteric red stitching.

Hotaka's short stature makes him lean toward the cute side but his body keeps him firmly on the sexy side. He's been training sense he was four so he has a nice body even though he doesn't show it off his clothes outline it nicely. Hotaka is lean with nice abs and taught muscles he's not the biggest guy out there but he can still kick butt. he has a few scars on his back that he hates they remind him of a horrible accident. He has a tattoo of his clans symbol on his left hip in all black. Hotaka doesn't have one ounce of facial hair and he likes it that way.

The only flaws on Hotaka's skin are the three horizontal scars on his back. He has pearly white teeth the bottom row are nice and straight. the top row are a little messed up, one of his two front teeth is up higher then the other, his left canine juts out a little further then the other teeth and is pushing the tooth on its right back behind it. moving from his teeth to his hands, Hotaka bites his nails. His hands are on the smaller side like the rest of him but pack quite a punch.

Background:

Hotaka is the third child out of five from his parents. they travelled the world until a great accident happened when Hotaka was eight, one of the baby rhinos got loose at their campsite for the night, and attacked him and gave him his three horizontal scars on his back. After that Hotaka was healed physically but not emotionally, The attack made him so afraid of rhinos that his family settled in the nearest village to them so they didn't traumatize him any more. His older brother, younger brother, and father were not happy with this decision. His dad neglected him a bit for a few years until he started making a good living. His two brothers down right hated him for years and would gang up on him until he got stronger then them and kicked there butts whenever they looked at him funny.

His sister, who is the oldest was right there with him every step of the way. She helped him train and kept their brothers off him until she knew he could handle them himself. She was Hotaka's best and only friend until the night she left to return to the Shitakuma. "Why are you leaving Myuki?" little Hotaka asked his sister "I must leave this village is not the place for me" she answered knowing he could tell she wasn't being truthful. "Just tell me Myuki!" Hotaka demanded on the verge of tears "Tell me why my only friend is leaving me!" he stated now crying, "I cant tell you little star but I did something's I shouldn't have and I have to go...but just know I will always with you" she said as she took off her lucky star pendent and put it around Hotaka's neck. "I love you little star....don't forget to train and keep working on your flute and someday maybe you can be the best flute player ever" she smiled hugged him and left out of the window just three years after they settled there.

A few months after his sister left is when his dad deemed him and his brothers ready for the mist village academy. He never got along with any of the other students but showed great talent for becoming a ninja. He got into countless fights and when the time for sparing came no one wanted to spar with him for his do what ever it takes to win. This is when he learned what Genjustu was and started reading on it at home to learn more about it. This is also the time when he found out he liked being underestimated because then people would have no qualms trying to fight him, he hated being the one people were scared of.  

Two years after Hotaka's sister left. Hotaka started getting into more arguments with his brothers over stupid things and would lash out and hit them if they kept arguing with him. Hotaka started spending more time out of the house to his mothers dismay, and kept practicing his flute and learned that he could use it for genjustu. Hotaka's first test subjects for it were his brothers and that started even more fights between them. His father got him a tooter for genjustu just so he wouldn't practice on his brothers and possibly hurt them even more then he ever has.

Hotaka has never really been close with his mother not for her lack of trying. He blamed her for his sister leaving, he never outwardly showered her in fear of her and his fathers wrath. Over the next three years Hotaka quit caring about everything he started mouthing off to his father and mother. To the point they took his brothers and left Hotaka the house in the Mist village. Hotaka was glad that his family left he hopes that his sister is dead for whatever it was that she did and for leaving him. After that Hotaka started playing his flute to buy food and water sense the house was payed for. He eventually got a job training kids how to play the flute. his snippy nature made him a strict teacher and also got him fired after a few training sessions when the kids would go return with welts on there head. 

I'm taking the incentive!

3 Techniques:

Kusomimi (HellsEars)
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: Without this Jutsu the Clan is capable of just listening with sharpen hearing. What this Jutsu does is by using the chakra along their eardrum, labyrinth system, as well as the outer ear of the body the user makes their ear into something of a sonar. This sonar system enables the brain to remember certain points by sound wave frequencies that hits the ear from a pebble hitting the water, to a person walking along grass. The Sonar system enables the Shitakuma clan to basically see. This is greatly used when Rain falls down for every time a drop hits the ground it emits a sound so basically they are capable to see for the first time in their lives. When first learned the distance that one is capable of understanding and remembering is the distance of fifty meters. After each time learned the distance goes up by twenty meters.
Special: The first time learned the user must do the signs of Dragon, Rabbit, Dragon, Ram. After the first time there would be no need for the seals.
Drawback: Must be trained into this more then once. Without the proper training of a technique such as Kusokesuni and Advanced version sounds could cause dizziness or damage to the user. The sounds to create this must be sounds that are greatly abrupt and fast which must be near the ear like a Flash/Bang grenade.
Description: When sound frequencies hit the ear it creates a sonar in which the mind remembers in a certain distance until the sound waves hit the ear once again. It looks as if the user is capable of seeing in such a way but it is just a technique that enables the user to know where to go and how far objects are at. They are capable of seeing shapes, and size, but the thing is they are not capable of seeing defined objects.
Limit: Only a technique for the Shitakuma Clan

Kusokesuni (Hells Drownout)
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu (Somewhat)
Effect: With the use of one's ears and when a person needs to use their sense of hearing to see, the Kusokensuni is a specialized technique in which the user of the Shitakuma clan is capable of drowning out certain sounds waves up to certain frequencies. Example: If a Shitakuma member is in a large battle where their is a fairly amount of yelling and fighting going around, the person is capable of drowning out all sounds to a certain frequency for example like lets say the sound waves that is being pushed from the ground giving more stability. The technique must be learned ten times. Each time learned a user is capable of drowning out up to a certain amount. When first learned the user is capable of drowning out frequencies up to ten thousand hertz. After mastered the user is capable of drowning out up to one hundred thousand hertz of frequency. Remember a normal human is capable of hearing up to twenty thousand, this is way beyond then that of a regular body.
Special: When first learned the user needs to use the hand signs of Boar, Dragon, Tiger, and Horse. After the first time, hand signs is not needed.
Drawback: Drawback is that the user must train in this type of technique more then once in order to drown up higher frequencies. Another drawback is the fact that they are only capable of listening to one frequency at a time, so in a sense if they wished to listen to their own comrades, it be slightly more difficult that creates a massive confusion in which case may go against each other for a moment or two until the sounds is justified to where they understand.
Description: The way this feels is that the user is capable of drowning out certain frequencies in which they can hear certain sounds to accurately pin point where they need to go. What is interesting was the way this works, basically it is like a strong sensory. Within the mind of the user all sounds are muffled to an extent as the sound they concentrate on comes forth with more of accurate sense. The sensory and the sounds still work, in which they are capable to see. Example if there were a strong amount of yelling, the sound waves that hit the ears still react in which they can still use as a radar to help them move about (Acts like they can see figures) but of course does not damage the user's sense of balance and hearing.
Limit: Only those of the Shitakuma clan is capable of performing.

Sensory Breathing
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: When manipulating the chakra along their nostrils as they breathe out the Shitakuma clan is capable of producing out a sensory system of sound waves that is higher then that of a human ear can pick up. This is known as the Shitakuma Echolocation inner system. What is created is a sonar frequency that can not be heard by human ears by breathing out in a small distance that enables the user to almost see by their ears without relying solely on sounds around him. When first learned the user is capable of producing the sonic waves of hyper frequency to a distance at a maximum of ten meters. Each time learned the distance increases by ten meters.
Special: ---
Drawback: You are only capable of pushing off to a certain distance. The only way the distance can be increased is by how many times you train within the same type of Jutsu.
Description: It works like a Radar, or really is considered as a human Echolocation. When the sound waves pushes off bouncing against objects, the sound waves bounce back hitting against the users ears making it seem as if the user is capable of seeing in a sensor type manner. When the distance is increased it seems as if brain slightly remembers a certain area until the waves bounce off the objects once again. Using this they are capable of seeing shapes and figures, but not to the extreme IE reading, or how much money they have.
Limit: Only those of the Shitakuma clan is capable of learning.

[Father 'Suke]

Just a few things. First, I want to say this is a nice application and has great potential. The few things I would like to see done though are these.

• A bit more in your Appearance and Personality paragraphs. These sentences are quite short and ultimately to me do not fit the requirement of a paragraph in my opinion. Remember the minimum is 5 paragraphs in each but also 5 sentences per paragraph as well.
  
• For all perceptions, medical forms, releases, and the like that you wish to be apart of yet don't meet specifications for as of yet, I request that you put something at the end of all of them in your specialist list saying "Future" or something along that phrase as means you don't have it yet but will eventually. Just for clarity and all.
  
• Finally just look through for any grammatical/spelling errors you may see. I spotted some capitulation errors around in your history, ultimately not looking bad but an overall scan for that and you should be fin on that end.
