Personality Traits
Even Tipu's father once considered that "perhaps, more than anything, Tipu is bold."  The boy does not believe in the boundaries set by man's preconceptions and is even skeptical of those placed by nature itself.  Is this what makes a man bold?  The drive to pull down the gods so that they walk equally among man?  The refusal to listen to another's opinion of the limits of those who dare to be something great?  The imperceptible shift in perspective where one gradually begins to believe that the boy will never give up.  Every time he falls he will be expected to rise again.  And if he does not rise then fear begins to creep into his heart because the only way that boy doesn't rise is if he's dead.  And maybe death isn't even enough to stop the bold ones.  How far does he spread his message after he passes? How many are inspired by the bold to go out and reach their dreams regardless of those who refuse to believe in them?  That is the destiny of the bold.  And if that destiny is not in Tipu's future, then he will carve his own path to reach what fate had refused him.

There are those who hesitate before putting their plan into action, who let doubt fester. And then there are the confident.  Tipu is not unsure about his future nor the challenges he knows that he will face.  He may underestimate them, and in fact often underestimates them, and might even be afraid of them.  But the shinobi who is confident is not afraid of him or herself.  They believe, regardless of what others might believe, in themselves.  

Great men are not those who fight in for their own interests but for the interests of other people.  That's what his father had taught him.  And to Tipu, his father was a great man. Striving to be like him, Tipu has made an objective to be selfless.  It can be argued that he might not always put others before him, as he is still having trouble understanding what being selfless is in his young age, but bouts of good still shine through the rough exterior.

Young minds are still being molded to fit the Earth.  Even the resolute are still impressionable.  Ideas of all sorts, from any source, of any message, may take sudden root in a young person's mind and influence the decisions for the rest of his life. Tipu, still being of this young sort, is still growing in response to the stimuli around him.  Who is to say what will take hold over his malleable mind?  As of currently, however, his father's achievements hold the greatest sway.

Appearance
Tipu stands tall for his rather young age, giving an idea for how he'll grow in the coming years.  His build is a defined and lithe frame, which gives him a weight of 134 pounds at 5 feet and 5 inches, with an erect stance and domineering posture.  His young face is made evident by his dark complexion.  He has a broad chest and rounded shoulders with well defined traps and a muscular back.

His face would be almost completely oval if not for his cheekbones.  They are high and round, and protrude somewhat out of the top of his cheeks.  His forehead seems large because his hairline is comparatively high.  He has dark, thick eyebrows that stand over dark, almond eyes.  He has a large, wide nose and a large mouth with thick, dark lips.  His ears nearly resemble the wings of a butterfly and are without lobes.  His hair is dark and is kept buzzed.

He has a variety of dress from which he uses as his wardrobe, ranging from odd Zakuji headdresses and standard ninja field gear.  Often he can be seen with the many regalia he wears to remind him of his family and of his home.  The feathered necklace, for example, is something that his father is noteworthy for and wears it in his honor and pride of his lineage.  The jeweled necklace is that of a traditional Zakuji make, glittering with dark pearls and well-cut rubies. 

History
Part 1
For the first time, the Legendary Swordsman, Darius of Zakuji, held his child in his arms. It had been seven months since he had left and three months since the birth of his son and he knew it had been far too long.  He silently swore to himself to stay with his family, no matter the cost.  They had talked about this, he and his wife.  When the baby came it was time to put the sword down.  The city needed to learn how to cope without its hero. His duties were not to last forever, they had concluded, and it was time to pay attention to his family and not the life of an adventurer.  Darius knew he was going to have trouble coming to terms with it.  He had told agreed with his wife but he knew that his spirit was going to yearn for the freedoms that he had given up.  In his mind he had been terrified of himself and how he would react.  Would he leave his family for adventure?  He might, he was unsure of himself.  He had left his family before, his parents abandoned in the mountains where he had grown up, to pursue a life of glory.  He was afraid of doing it again.

But now that he held his son in his arms, and with his smiling wife standing across from him, his fears seemed to melt away.  His son, Tipu, opened his large brown eyes and looked at him.  At that moment, the Legendary Swordsman retired from a life of danger.

Part 2
Darius had taken up plenty of hobbies since his retirement.  None took up his time more than the rearing of his single son.  Before the child, he and his wife had talked about perhaps having up to two or three children.  But it became an unsaid agreement after the birth of Tipu that this was to be their only child.  And, he admitted, the boy was spoiled as a result.  Tipu was vivacious, curious, but perhaps more than anything he was bold. Children often spoke their mind, Darius managed to convince himself, but Tipu had been one to speak his mind often.  He had spoken to Tipu in hopes that he would be able to curve the boldness that had seemed to grow within him.  But, only time would tell, and he it did not diminish the love he had for his child.  Even now the boy watched him as Darius sat at his easel, a novice drawing upon the canvas, and he could not help but smile.

"Why do you paint, daddy?" Tifu asked.  Darius smiled at his son as he prepared his answer.

"I want to make something beautiful, Tipu."

"Beautiful like mommy?" he asked in an innocent but knowing voice.

"If I could make something as beautiful as mommy then I would be a great painter, Tipu."

"Daddy did you kill people?"

"Tipu, what did we talk about?"

"But that's not a bad question!"

Darius sat at his easel, unsure of how to proceed.  He was going to have to have this talk eventually, that was obvious enough, but he had not found a way to say it that would make his life seek the same life he had.  He did not want to put his son into danger; he wanted Tipu to have a life of love and prosperity, not one of violence and danger.  That was not just his decision, that was both what he and his wife had decided long ago.

"I will tell you one day, Tipu, but that day is not today."

"Okay, daddy."

"Now, where is your mother?  Go get her and we'll go have supper in town."

Part 3
Darius had been able to afford a nice villa in the countryside of Zakuji.  It commanded a pleasent view of the sea while also retaining a respectable amount of land.  While he was happy that he was able to spend time here with his family he had found the last few years of retirement to be difficult.  He had not yet come to terms with the idea of getting old and he was often anxious.  To add to matters his boy had taken to liking the blade, which did not bode well with him at all.  One evening he was sitting out on his porch, watching his son, the tender age of 8, hold a wooden blade in poor form.  His wife, Alina, stepped out from the house beside him.  Her beauty was still glowed radiantly, defying age.

"He is practicing the blade again.  He refuses to listen to me!"

"You have tried for years to stop him from pursuing that dream.  Maybe it is time to take another approach."

"What approach do you mean?"

"Go help him, Darius."

"I do not want my boy to become a fighter, Alina.  You know this."

"He just wants to be like you."

"He should not want to be like me.  There is nothing good about what I did."

"You need to learn to live with yourself, Darius!  What are you afraid of?  You look at your son and you see yourself!  And you are afraid of yourself!  If you do not raise this boy, then who will be his father?"

"Alina!  Do not speak to me that way! ... No, I am sorry.  You are right.  This ... isn't what I thought it would be Alina.  Being a father has been the hardest battle of my life."

"Then you cannot give up, Darius.  You never have."

"Alina, thank you.  I love you.

"Boy! Tipu! Let your father show you how to handle that sword!"

Part 4
Darius had found it difficult to sleep the past few nights.  He could not shake the feeling that the time with his boy was coming to a close.  Not that either of them would pass on, but that Tipu would follow in his father's footsteps and leave his family to pursue a dream of adventure.  The potential he was showing with the blade at young age was now blossoming into what Darius believed would be a serious talent in the field.  Perhaps as good as his old man.  Fiery pride filled him at the thought, but at the same time he knew that it was what was dragging his son away from him.  He had discussed the feeling with Alina, who had broken into tears at the mention of it.  She, too, felt like the path could not be changed.  One night at dinner, Tipu made an announcement.

"Father, mother, I would like to say some words."  Darius and Aliya exchanged a nervous glance.

"You can tell us anything, my son." Aliya said.

"I want...to leave.  To go and fulfill my dreams." he said, shooting a glance to his father.  Aliya gave him the same glance.  The glance said the dream is to be like you.  Darius looked at his son as tears began to well up in his eyes.

"You will always have a home here." he said, his voice breaking.  "I love you son."  Aliya began to cry, and tears trickled down Darius' cheeks as he shared a final meal with his son.

Part 5
Darius was in his room one quiet evening, painting when Aliya walked into the room. Even now, her beauty was unmatched by anyone in town and Darius felt unworthy of her love. In her hand she held a folded piece of parchment.

"Darius, this is a letter from Tipu.  He is in Kirigakure, he is-- well I'll let you read it yourself."  Darius took the letter, reading it.

Mother, Father,

I have come a long ways and am finally in Kirigakure. It reminds me of home; I love it here. I have made friends in the village and have decided to become a shinobi here. I am writing to tell you that I have graduated from the academy and will begin my life as a professional shinobi. I look forward to the places that this will take me.

Love, Tipu.

Darius held the letter long after he finished reading it. He could not help but smile at it.

"I hope he is getting his sleep and is being careful." he muttered.

"I hope so too." Aliya said. Darius got back to his painting, but could not stop thinking of his son for many, many weeks.

Description: Seigan no Kamae, Chudan no Kamae The Seigan and Chudan no Kamae are similar in every aspect when it comes to looking at the opponent, having their feet placed down upon the floor, as well as the amount of pressure they have between both of their legs. The user keeps their right or left foot forward having their toes pointing forwards. Their opposite foot is shaped in an "L" shaped keeping their legs in equal motion. Their feet are perpendicular from one another as face forward their feet and legs are in shoulder width apart. This is used as a basic formation to where the user can move from either defensive, or defensive movements. For the Seigan no Kamae stance has their hands relaxed, grasped against the handle of the blade in question. The sword is pointing in a forty five degree angle as their arms are relaxed, hands close towards his hips as one would wait and relax. For the Chudan no Kamae the user keeps the same foot work as that of Seigan but their hands is brought up towards chest level as the sword that they hold is slightly more gripped proof. The sword is pointed forward as the blade is pointed down towards the ground. These stances are mostly known for parrying and blocking, as well as making quick attacks upon the opponent.

This is mostly used for a defensive form of the stance as the user keeps the sword pointing upwards. For Fudo no Kamae the user uses this stance in more of an offensive form. The user would face the opponent as their arms are raised up holding the hilt of the blade. The sword is slanted in a diagonal form but the user keeps this stance and holds it tightly. This stance is mostly used for attacks that deal with downward strikes, but as well as the type of movements for confusing the enemy with sliding attacks.

Rank: "D"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: Four basic stances used in the art of swordsmanship.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Muso no Kamae , Uranami no Kamae , Roppo Kuji no Kamae , Dato no Kamae , This stance is four in one. Each one is slightly different in some sort of way, but the legging position, the position where their balance will stay pure will always be the exact same. What is used within this stance is for mostly attack style forms. Each stance is different in its own way as each is same in every way as well. The feet for all four stances are the same. The user's left leg, or right leg will be forward and the knee would be bent in almost a ninety degree form. The back leg will be placed far back, about a foot or two past the shoulder along the upper body. For Muso no Kamae their hands are upwards holding their sword as the forward arm that is the same as the leg as it is holding the end of the sword. The user holds the front end of the sword with the other arm. The sword is then pointing towards the back of the body as the blade is pointing upwards.

For Uranami the user keeps the sword along their chest area as it is pointing backwards of the body. The sword is pointing downwards slightly as the upper body is slanted forward. The Roppo Kuji holds the sword the same way as the sword is more slanted almost touching the ground. The sword is pointing backwards as well, and the user keeps the blade downwards.

Kokoromanako (Mind's Eye)
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: By fighting on and on, a user becomes more proficient when an attack may come by. This happens usually when the user becomes unable to see the attack. However by being in combat for so much they can feel when an attack is coming making them less able to be flanked.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user may only learn this technique by the class that they are. This means that in order to learn the "C" Rank version they must be "C" Class, if they wish to learn the "B" Rank version they must be "B" Class.
Description: A technique where the subconscious mind, where the subconscious body reacts just as they are attacked while flanked or while their back is turn. The body reacts in such a way to where they are capable of withstanding so much. This technique makes it where the User is incapable of being surprised attacked, a sudden second sense kicks in as their body screams out to them yelling at them telling them to move, duck, dodge or anything else within that manner. This works on whenever they are being attacked. This technique however has a major flaw. The user is capable of dodging only whenever the opponent's class is equal or lower to that of the rank of the technique they know. This means that a "D" Class user that knows this technique cannot use this against an opponent that is "C" Class or higher.

D-Rank

Ginga
Rank: "D"
Type: TaiJutsu
Effect: None
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Picture The ginga (literally: rocking back and forth; to swing) is the fundamental movement in Capoeira. To accomplished this stance is by maintaining both feet approximately shoulder-width apart and then moving one foot backwards and then back to the base. This movement is done to prepare the body for other movements. The rest of the body is also involved in the ginga: coordination of the arms (in such a way as to prevent the body from being kicked), torso (many core muscles may be engaged depending on the player's style), and the leaning of the body (forward and back in relation to the position of the feet; the body leans back to avoid kicks, and forward to create opportunities to show attacks). The overall movement should match the rhythm of the person.
Limit: Must learn from a Capoeirista.

C-Rank

Cadeira
Rank: "C"
Type: TaiJutsu
Effect: None
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Picture The cadeira is the position in the ginga when both legs are squared off. This makes it the actual base of the ginga. Depending on how the capoeira academy teaches it, it is usually a low position similar to one that a shortstop has right before stopping a ground ball. One arm is protecting the face while the other is extended out protecting the other side. Since it is essentially a low squat with the torso slightly bent at the waist, most of the core muscles are engaged to keep balance. All attack, movements, and esquivas can flow seamlessly from this position including balança, au, queda de rins, martelo, resistência, and many others. It can also be called 'parlelo'.
Limit: Must learn from a Capoeirista. Must know Ginga.

Aú
Rank: "C" + "D" Rank variation
Type: TaiJutsu
Effect: None
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Picture An aú is the Capoeria term for what is more generally called a cartwheel. It differs a bit from the traditional cartwheel or aerial cartwheel. An aú, in its base form, is performed, sometimes very slowly, with arms and legs bent in order to keep a low target profile. Also the back can be curved in order to perform a kicking maneuver. Since a capoeira player always risks being kicked while upside down, capoeira players also make sure to watch their opponent rather than look at the ground. Capoeira players can incorporate attacks from the cartwheel, including a kick known as an Aú Malandro or Aú Batido. They sometimes freeze halfway through the cartwheel to get into the handstand position, from which they can execute a wide variety of moves. The aú variants are:

Aú Aberto - Picture From esquiva, the free arm reaches in an arc over the head in the direction of motion. The leg extended furthest from the body leaves the ground first, kicking off and providing momentum. Then the reaching hand is placed on the far side of the body. Bending the arms at the elbows supports weight as both legs pass over the body fully extended. While inverted, the body should be opened and entirely extended. One foot touches the ground then the other. The arms must be lifted for protection as soon as they are no longer supporting weight.
Aú Fechado - Picture From esquiva or negativa, the free arm reaches in an arc over the head in the direction of motion. The leg extended furthest from the body leaves the ground first, kicking off and providing momentum. Then the reaching hand is placed on the far side of the body. Bending the arms at the elbows supports weight as both legs pass bent in front of and slightly over the body. While inverted, the body should be closed and maximally protected. One foot touches the ground and then the other. The last step is return to esquiva.
Aú Batendo - A similar technique, except that the hands generally stay on the ground and the cartwheel is not stopped during the kick, but rather continues over.
