Personality
Karma is a know-it-all. Not in the sense that he acts like he knows everything, but is quick to correct those when they are wrong. When it comes to something that he doesn’t know however, he is not afraid to ask. Mostly though, he doesn’t speak around other people. He doesn’t know how to have a casual conversation with anyone accept his father. Though, he loves to talk about chakra natures and the effects of chakra on the body. He also loves talking about spicy food and different teas. He is a relatively mature individual but if someone were to approach him who of legendary status, he would faulter in composure most likely. Her biggest flaw would have to be that he would rather find out answers to a question rather than finish off an opponent. [For instance, if he was in a fight and had the upper hand, if the opponent offered to teach his a technique or reveal a meaningful secret to his, he would pause and listen. She wouldn’t necessarily put his own life at risk but it is possible if the secret is tantalizing enough].
He is more inclined to help someone in need then not, but he isn’t a saint. If he learned a new jutsu, he wouldn’t hesitate to use it to see its effects on someone. Not a citizen but an enemy. In fact, he has little regard for those who find themselves as his opponents. He is very aggressive. Though not so aggressive as to sacrifice his well being to land a hit. He would wait for the time to strike.
He is slow to trust. He has learned that it is always safer to be wary than trusting. Even your closest ally can turn out to be a foe. He also doesn’t have much in terms of street smart. He knows what he has read and studied, but he wouldn’t be able to negotiate with a gang member. Though, he could spot one, track one, and fight one. He tends to be a lone wolf but not strictly speaking. He can accept someone to fight alongside him, but he won't trust them with his life, aka he would be constantly wary of them during a fight.
Karma is want to simply overpower his opponents but will using strategy if this doesn't work. He doesn’t tend to employ more advanced strategy until he has sized up his opponent. He figures, if he can take someone out quick and hard then it isn’t worth his cognition to try anything more meaningful. But if an opponent proves capable, then his passion builds and he starts to pulls out all of his tricks.
Karma has messy crimson hair that falls falls down just to his eyes, which are themselves a soft golden color. His eyes are also a bit lazy but also a bit distant. His face usually is either unreadable or he has a slight smirk. He is a fairly fit fellow, through all of his training, but definitely a lean person. He is 5 ft 9in tall and about 155lbs, average for his age.
His attire consists of black pants that fall down loosely to his ankles. The hemps of the pants are slightly frayed from a excessive training. Where he has matching dark sandals that are worn in color. The straps of his sandals hig his feet and meet down between his big and second toe. There is also a strap on the back of his sandals that hugs his heal to keep them on. His torso is draped in a red shirt, which also has some fraying around it’s hems. Over his shirt is a dark jacket that looks in slightly better condition than his other clothing, if not a little dirty. His sleeves are rolled up just above his elbows. His waist has a utility pouch just above his bum on his left. Then to the right is a sheath with his tanto stored inside. He wears his village headband tied around his upper right arm with the village logo facing out.
Karma’s skin is soft, and strangely hairless, with no visible signs of combat damage. His exposed skin is free of any scars or abrasions. His hands, however, are slightly rough. They are a strange combination of long fingers that look adept at turning pages of a book, but also callused with a lot of hard training to be a ninja.
His posture is usually quite straight, though if he is deep in thought he can be caught arching his back and slouching his shoulders forward. He is also fairly light skinned, even though he spends a fair amount of time in the sun. His face is usually stoic and unmoving, but when appropriate he has a wide smile that seems to extend to his eyes. When he walks he is usually looking up at the sky deep in thought. However, when training or in combat his focus will be mostly trained on his opponent, though his golden eyes can be caught darting about to detect outside threats.
Growing up, Karma doesn’t have a single memory of his mother. In fact his father would never be able to discuss his mother either. He would always lead off saying things like, “She would have loved you if he could have known you. But it is best not to dwell on things we cannot know, Karma.” It was actually this exact phrase that made Karma take on his biggest pursuit, to gain knowledge. At first he merely wanted to know who his mother was and why she was no longer around. But whenever he asked his dad he always got a line about not knowing and not seeking impossible answers. So he took it upon himself to seek answers. Answers for questions that have already been asked, and those that hadn’t.
Karma decided for himself that he needed to read, learn from others, and most importantly become a ninja. For such reason as to be able to answer the biggest question, who is his mother. In doing so he decided to join the ninja academy and become a ninja so that he would have the skills to explore the world and find all the answers he was seeking. The more jutsu he knew, the more difficult and varied challenges he would be able to face that kept him from finding out the answers he was seeking. Ultimately, he hoped to become an ANBU to have access to the archives of information they had access to. Though, more so than that he could become even more powerful and be able to go to other villages and get their assistance in finding answers. He had to become strong so that he could seek what he was looking for.
In his pursuits he found it best to learn various chakra natures to best ready himself, and as such he found he had a natural affinity for lightning chakra, though he also easily grasped fire, water, and wind. He has yet to learn earth but he knows it is only a matter of time before he learns earth release.
His pursuit of knowledge lead him to become a student in the ninja academy and he found that he had passed easily enough. Though, the more physical tasks proved troublesome. He had spent so much time training his mind and chakra understanding that he had neglected his body to an extent. It didn’t take long for his to turn this around and through physical training he is now partially proficient in taijutsu, with the aid of a weapon. However, he will always be better at the likes of ninjutsu and genjutsu.
Even more so, when he discovered genjutsu he was fascinated. The ability to use chakra to manipulate other’s perceptions was intriguing concept to his and he began to study it as a close second to his ninjutsu studies. This is because of the natural tendency to question reality and Karma has thought heavily about this. His solution is that if he can master and understand how to use genjutsu, altering other’s realities, then this study will help his to understand what reality truly is. If nothing else, he believes he can become a skilled genjutsu user and will increase his ability to be a great ninja. Karma prefers genjutsu as a tertiary option in combat. He would size his opponents up with taijutsu or some basic ninjutsu and then choose appropriate ninjutsu to use to claim victory. If this proves a challenge still then he will employ genjutsu to provide the edge in battle. He has yet to see this fail as of yet, but he has not faced many opponents to thoroughly test this theory of combat.
When it comes to taijutsu he found that he can increase the gap he has in prowess with having a weapon. He chose to wield a Tanto because of its small stature. It doesn’t require raw strength like a larger weapon, but it does lend itself to increasing his effectiveness. He also knew it best to pick up a weapon because he can channel two of his chakra natures through it, lightning and wind. Depending on the situation depends on what he prefers.
As Karma began to enthrall himself to his studies, his relationship with his father became more distant. They have dinner together most nights, when he is home, where they talk freely with each other. Though, the issue is that other than this Karma is out training or studying. This has caused a divide to form between his and his father. Karma didn’t put much credence to this, it was only nature given his self issued mission. Though, his father had fallen ill and it has caused a strain for Karma. Her need to acquire knowledge is at an impasse with his love of his dad. As he is one to do though, he has sought, not in spending more time with him, but in searching for a way to aid his illness or to find someone with the knowledge to help his father. His illness does not seem to be threatening his life, but he has been spending more time in a hospital making it even harder for his to spend time with him. As such Karma has become even more isolated and began to ask more questions.
Though, to help quiet that which he cannot know, he has gone about training even more than before. He has been known to train himself into unconsciousness and then when he wakes up the next day to keep training.
All of this has come to a head in recent years. He has acquired useful ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu and he feels that it is time he can begin to start venturing forth to pursue missions and people that will take his to far off places. In this way he can find answers to questions he didn’t even know he had. As such he has began to bring a journal around with his wherever he goes. For the sake of jotting down anything he can. He wishes not only to know, but also to remember. In the little time he has spent around other people, he isn’t quite sure how to act but he isn’t shy. She wishes to know more people but this is secondary for his.

Personality
Karma is a know-it-all. Not in the sense that he acts like he knows everything, but is quick to correct those when they are wrong. When it comes to something that he doesn’t know however, he is not afraid to ask. Mostly though, he doesn’t speak around other people. He doesn’t know how to have a casual conversation with anyone accept his father. Though, he loves to talk about chakra natures and the effects of chakra on the body. He also loves talking about spicy food and different teas. He is a relatively mature individual but if someone were to approach him who of legendary status, he would faulter in composure most likely. Her biggest flaw would have to be that he would rather find out answers to a question rather than finish off an opponent. [For instance, if he was in a fight and had the upper hand, if the opponent offered to teach his a technique or reveal a meaningful secret to his, he would pause and listen. She wouldn’t necessarily put his own life at risk but it is possible if the secret is tantalizing enough].
He is more inclined to help someone in need then not, but he isn’t a saint. If he learned a new jutsu, he wouldn’t hesitate to use it to see its effects on someone. Not a citizen but an enemy. In fact, he has little regard for those who find themselves as his opponents. He is very aggressive. Though not so aggressive as to sacrifice his well being to land a hit. He would wait for the time to strike.
He is slow to trust. He has learned that it is always safer to be wary than trusting. Even your closest ally can turn out to be a foe. He also doesn’t have much in terms of street smart. He knows what he has read and studied, but he wouldn’t be able to negotiate with a gang member. Though, he could spot one, track one, and fight one. He tends to be a lone wolf but not strictly speaking. He can accept someone to fight alongside him, but he won't trust them with his life, aka he would be constantly wary of them during a fight.
Karma is want to simply overpower his opponents but will using strategy if this doesn't work. He doesn’t tend to employ more advanced strategy until he has sized up his opponent. He figures, if he can take someone out quick and hard then it isn’t worth his cognition to try anything more meaningful. But if an opponent proves capable, then his passion builds and he starts to pulls out all of his tricks.
Karma has messy crimson hair that falls falls down just to his eyes, which are themselves a soft golden color. His eyes are also a bit lazy but also a bit distant. His face usually is either unreadable or he has a slight smirk. He is a fairly fit fellow, through all of his training, but definitely a lean person. He is 5 ft 9in tall and about 155lbs, average for his age.
His attire consists of black pants that fall down loosely to his ankles. The hemps of the pants are slightly frayed from a excessive training. Where he has matching dark sandals that are worn in color. The straps of his sandals hig his feet and meet down between his big and second toe. There is also a strap on the back of his sandals that hugs his heal to keep them on. His torso is draped in a red shirt, which also has some fraying around it’s hems. Over his shirt is a dark jacket that looks in slightly better condition than his other clothing, if not a little dirty. His sleeves are rolled up just above his elbows. His waist has a utility pouch just above his bum on his left. Then to the right is a sheath with his tanto stored inside. He wears his village headband tied around his upper right arm with the village logo facing out.
Karma’s skin is soft, and strangely hairless, with no visible signs of combat damage. His exposed skin is free of any scars or abrasions. His hands, however, are slightly rough. They are a strange combination of long fingers that look adept at turning pages of a book, but also callused with a lot of hard training to be a ninja.
His posture is usually quite straight, though if he is deep in thought he can be caught arching his back and slouching his shoulders forward. He is also fairly light skinned, even though he spends a fair amount of time in the sun. His face is usually stoic and unmoving, but when appropriate he has a wide smile that seems to extend to his eyes. When he walks he is usually looking up at the sky deep in thought. However, when training or in combat his focus will be mostly trained on his opponent, though his golden eyes can be caught darting about to detect outside threats.
Growing up, Karma doesn’t have a single memory of his mother. In fact his father would never be able to discuss his mother either. He would always lead off saying things like, “She would have loved you if he could have known you. But it is best not to dwell on things we cannot know, Karma.” It was actually this exact phrase that made Karma take on his biggest pursuit, to gain knowledge. At first he merely wanted to know who his mother was and why she was no longer around. But whenever he asked his dad he always got a line about not knowing and not seeking impossible answers. So he took it upon himself to seek answers. Answers for questions that have already been asked, and those that hadn’t.
Karma decided for himself that he needed to read, learn from others, and most importantly become a ninja. For such reason as to be able to answer the biggest question, who is his mother. In doing so he decided to join the ninja academy and become a ninja so that he would have the skills to explore the world and find all the answers he was seeking. The more jutsu he knew, the more difficult and varied challenges he would be able to face that kept him from finding out the answers he was seeking. Ultimately, he hoped to become an ANBU to have access to the archives of information they had access to. Though, more so than that he could become even more powerful and be able to go to other villages and get their assistance in finding answers. He had to become strong so that he could seek what he was looking for.
In his pursuits he found it best to learn various chakra natures to best ready himself, and as such he found he had a natural affinity for lightning chakra, though he also easily grasped fire, water, and wind. He has yet to learn earth but he knows it is only a matter of time before he learns earth release.
His pursuit of knowledge lead him to become a student in the ninja academy and he found that he had passed easily enough. Though, the more physical tasks proved troublesome. He had spent so much time training his mind and chakra understanding that he had neglected his body to an extent. It didn’t take long for his to turn this around and through physical training he is now partially proficient in taijutsu, with the aid of a weapon. However, he will always be better at the likes of ninjutsu and genjutsu.
Even more so, when he discovered genjutsu he was fascinated. The ability to use chakra to manipulate other’s perceptions was intriguing concept to his and he began to study it as a close second to his ninjutsu studies. This is because of the natural tendency to question reality and Karma has thought heavily about this. His solution is that if he can master and understand how to use genjutsu, altering other’s realities, then this study will help his to understand what reality truly is. If nothing else, he believes he can become a skilled genjutsu user and will increase his ability to be a great ninja. Karma prefers genjutsu as a tertiary option in combat. He would size his opponents up with taijutsu or some basic ninjutsu and then choose appropriate ninjutsu to use to claim victory. If this proves a challenge still then he will employ genjutsu to provide the edge in battle. He has yet to see this fail as of yet, but he has not faced many opponents to thoroughly test this theory of combat.
When it comes to taijutsu he found that he can increase the gap he has in prowess with having a weapon. He chose to wield a Tanto because of its small stature. It doesn’t require raw strength like a larger weapon, but it does lend itself to increasing his effectiveness. He also knew it best to pick up a weapon because he can channel two of his chakra natures through it, lightning and wind. Depending on the situation depends on what he prefers.
As Karma began to enthrall himself to his studies, his relationship with his father became more distant. They have dinner together most nights, when he is home, where they talk freely with each other. Though, the issue is that other than this Karma is out training or studying. This has caused a divide to form between his and his father. Karma didn’t put much credence to this, it was only nature given his self issued mission. Though, his father had fallen ill and it has caused a strain for Karma. Her need to acquire knowledge is at an impasse with his love of his dad. As he is one to do though, he has sought, not in spending more time with him, but in searching for a way to aid his illness or to find someone with the knowledge to help his father. His illness does not seem to be threatening his life, but he has been spending more time in a hospital making it even harder for his to spend time with him. As such Karma has become even more isolated and began to ask more questions.
Though, to help quiet that which he cannot know, he has gone about training even more than before. He has been known to train himself into unconsciousness and then when he wakes up the next day to keep training.
All of this has come to a head in recent years. He has acquired useful ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu and he feels that it is time he can begin to start venturing forth to pursue missions and people that will take his to far off places. In this way he can find answers to questions he didn’t even know he had. As such he has began to bring a journal around with his wherever he goes. For the sake of jotting down anything he can. He wishes not only to know, but also to remember. In the little time he has spent around other people, he isn’t quite sure how to act but he isn’t shy. She wishes to know more people but this is secondary for his.
