[Kanshaku]

[/b]

Affable[/i][/u]

While his true nature can be rather ruthless and indifferent towards the value of any life but his own, Kanshaku refuses to behave in any way that would suggest bad-manner. He is certain to act with care even towards foes, refusing to throw insults. Of course this trait does not extend to a point where he would refuse to slay an assailant if needed. Rather, the affability extends to simple interactions through words and minor activities not directly related to combat.

______________________________________________

Eloquent[/i][/u]
Kanshaku takes great care to express himself clearly, yet sometimes the word choice can be rather archaic. The Hozuki refuses to speak in a gruff, unwelcome manner and is sure to show that he is pleased or otherwise amused. In times of fury, the eloquence faints somewhat, and he is more likely to express himself no different than a common man. Kanshaku shows a bit of embarrassment when such time comes – hence he prefers to remain well-spoken even when angered.

______________________________________________

Greed[/i][/u]
The trait of the Hozuki greed has been inherited by Kanshaku. He is slow to give up any of his belongings, and quick to hoard anything of even the slightest worth. Kanshaku rather have wealth in the form of object than money, for it is better to have something to use for survival than simple ryo to sit idle. While he is quite greedy, Kanshaku does not refuse to use any of the things he hoards if it is required for his continued life.

______________________________________________

Situationism[/i][/u]

Kanshaku firmly believes that one’s behavior depends on the situation in which they find themselves, and that therefore the personality derives from such. Therefore he can be occasionally forgiving, not out of mercy, but rather because he is certain that an individual can be changed. For his own benefit. He understands that his current behavior has been shaped by the time on Mukizu island, and it is no different than others – each and every individual influenced by forces he has not yet encountered.

______________________________________________

Attempts at Loyalty[/i][/u]
Slightly out of regret for abandoning his original home, Mukizu island, Kanshaku attempts to be loyal. He is at constant conflict, not entirely certain whether loyalty should be absolute or varying. Therefore, due to the uncertainty, he prefers to remain loyal unless a grim future awaits. Regret constantly intermingles with his thoughts, hindering the thoughts from developing into true understanding.

Appearance:

In his common, unchanged shape Kanshaku’s skin is of a dark blue shade, betraying his Hozuki heritage and the true nature of his body. Yet, rarely does he exhibit himself in such a manner. Rarely is his skin of a single shade for lengthy amount of times. Preferably, he changes the coloring of his skin as often as whim desires. A light or dark brown, perhaps a paler shade, all are within his abilities, and he does not leave any untouched.

He stands at five feet and eleven inches. The compressed water of which is shape consists leads to a total weight of one hundred and fifty pounds. While he lacks a common human physique, his body still shows similarities, as the Hozuki are quite similar in outside appearance to humans. His figure appears quite well-built, with toned arms and wide shoulders. His appearance would suggest that he is a man of physical well-being, taking care to be in the finest state possible.

Two light blue eyes have been placed into his face above a thin, narrow nose. His face is free of scars or any other distinguishing marks. With a rounded chin and cheeks, his face appears quite wide interestingly, his teeth appear quite sharp and pointed a faint reminder of his Hozuki heritage even when the figure is in a shape close to that of a human. Kanshaku lacks facial hairs completely, not even stubbles grown on the chin or cheek.

Commonly Kanshaku wears only trousers, of varying colors but he has a favor for brown. His upper body is free of any clothing – neither a shirt, a coat, or anything in the like. Upon his shape are a variety of tools. Pouches and holsters, carrying a multitude of goods ranging from kunai to grenades. A single blade rests upon his left hip within a black sheathe, the hilt gleaming under the sun. The pouches are placed onto a belt clinging tightly to his hips, keeping the trousers in place.

Short hairs run barely past his ears, their edges uneven. The hairs appears quite feral and covered in filth, but he has taken care to keep them from becoming too lengthy. Similar to his skin, the color of his hair alters by whim, changing the exact shade when desired. The most common color is a deep brown. He lacks hair on his arms, chest, and legs, not even the slightest growth having occurred there.

Terrible tragedy struck Mukizu Island ages ago, and the people the Hozuki, slowly mutated, transcended beyond the petty limits of the common human. To be trapped, that is a truly wretched fate and it was no different for the Hozuki who became bounded to the island after wretched weather stuck. With time, merchants arrived, eager to carry the peculiar people into the distant lands of the shinobi, and Kanshaku’s mother and father too had the choice to leave, as ancestors had, but they refused, remaining on Mukizu. Hence, he was born within the bounds of the island, unaware of the world that lied outside and therefore pleased with the life they lived. Terrible, is it not, for one to be so utterly ignorant of what truly lies in this world? Years upon years passed, Kanshaku reaching fourteen years of age.

As that time passed, his mother and father were eager to prepare him. The peculiar abilities of the Hozuki must be trained and honed after all, and the parents were a firm believer of that, preparing Kanshaku for whatever challenge may arise. Body became strong and the mind was sharpened – even moreso by the wretched competitions the Hozuki participated in, battle for nothing more than pride. Kanshaku’s feet often traced through the sandy arena grounds, arms swinging viciously at whatever foe stood before him. Of course he was not a perfect warrior, hence he also lost bouts. The defeats clung to his thoughts rather strongly, bringing frustration and fury to the rise. Especially the humiliating defeat at the hands of one known as Temaki. He stood no chance and was beaten brutally, shape disfigured. Permanent marks would have stained his body if it were not for the malleable figure of the Hozuki.

Two years later, when he was sixteen, they met in the arena once again. The two years leading towards that were of no particular note. Simply an idle life of study and preparations. No excitement, no grand escapades. When he met Temaki within the arena, senses began to cloud as anger washed over his mind. The humiliating defeat, images, so vivid, returned to his mind. The encounter was grievous, and Kanshaku was at the brink of defeat many times. Nay, he must not have another terrible defeat. Fear of embarrassment kept him standing. With fortune, sheer fortune and nothing else he became the victor. But he was not satisfied. Hands tore into the foes watery shape to grab the nucleus, tightly clinging it, squeezing the life out of Temaki. He breathed heavily as the onlookers watched in shock, eyes widened, mouths agape. Kanshaku murdered one of his own people – such terror rushed through him. What was he to do? He knew not, nor did his mother and father –equally shocked- wished to have nothing to do with him.

Kanshaku had no choice anymore. Alone, with some goods on his shape, he leapt into the waters surrounding the Mukizu island and swam. He nearly fainted from exhaustion many times, but fortunately he did not have to worry – for the Hozuki could not drown. Time blurred. Hours, perhaps days passed as he scurried through the waters desperately seeking lands. Hunger nearly overtook him many times, but fishes kept him alive fortunately, figure moving through the waters searching for what little oceanic meals he could find. Land was reached after some time, but Kanshaku did not know where to go. Impulsivity lead him here. Perhaps the problems at Mukizu island could have been solved, but he did not wait, and simple left. How foolish of him. What was he to do? The Hozuki simply wandered the lands, blade at his side, tools on his body. Terrible. The lands were dangerous, but he was quite fortunate, the Hozuki resilience keeping him from a cruel death.

One more year passed until he arrived in the Land of Earth. Iwagakure was found after some months, and after a process quite lengthy he was allowed in the village under several provisions – serving the Kage. Yet, he was required to attend the shinobi academy, as that was part of the required service. Fortunately the challenges were rather simple as he had already learned the basics of things such as hand to hand combat and chakra manipulation from his people on Mukizu island. At eighteen years he rose to become a genin. His life had taken a new turn, but still he felt quite regretful had the impulsive abandonment of his home. But it mattered no more, for a new future lied ahead.[/ul][/font]

SPOILER: Click to show

Atsui Usumaku (Transitional Membrane)
Rank: D, C, B, A
Skill: Ninjutsu, Supplementary
Effect: The user is capable of controlling the thickness of their transitional membrane. This technique is mandatory for all under the Hozuki bloodlimit. This is because it grants them their survival in battles and harsh weather conditions.
Special: ---
Drawback: Switching from ranks that are not next to each other takes 1 post (You cannot instantly switch from D rank thickness to B rank.). One can only switch their rank up or down one time per post.
Description:
During training, the user is capable of adjusting and altering their internal water pressure in their bodies. Doing so results in an increased density of their outer membrane. Chakra released from their nuclei protrusions allows water to be pressurized in a certain way underneath their transitional membrane thus resulting in the thickening and solidification of their skin. In order to switch from a higher rank of thickness to a lower, the user must decrease the amount of chakra released from their nuclei protrusions. Also, the user leaves their palms and the soles of their feet remain permeable (D ranked), thus allowing the usage of the water inside of them no matter what rank their in.
• D ranked: Very thin and moist layer of skin. This is the default layer of skin the Hozuki are normally in. Under this rank, the skin is most permeable, meaning they are able to absorb large amounts of water. Although they feel no physical pain, ninjutsu and genjutsu based attacks can affect them. Also, this skin is not suggested for harsh weather conditions. Exceedingly hot or cold weather can evaporate them or freeze them easily..
• C ranked: Under this rank, the transitional membrane is a similar thickness to that of the human skin. Can withstand any kind of weather conditions a human could. Since skin is more solidified, physical assaults on a Hozuki are more effective.
• B ranked: Under this rank, the water within their bodies is pressurized by chakra to the point in which it resembles a rock like thickness and texture. An Hozuki under this rank becomes stronger when landing physical attacks by half the rank of the attack they are using (a D rank punch gets an extra E rank damage added on). Speed is decreased by half a movement.
• A ranked: Under this rank, the water within their bodies are at the highest point of pressurization in which resembles a metal like thickness and texutre. An Hozuki under this rank becomes stronger when landing physical attacks by half the rank of the attack they are using. Speed is decreased by a full movement. Limbs are less prone to breaking. This state can only last for 3 posts before going back to D ranked thickness because it consumes a large amount of chakra.

Limit: Must belong to the Hozuki Bloodlimit, No slots are used up. Every Hozuki member begins with the D ranked version of this technique and work their way up.

Mugen Korosu (Infinite Breath)
Rank: D
Skill: Ninjutsu, Passive
Effect: People under the Hozuki bloodlimit are able to breath underwater for as long as they’d like.
Special: ---
Drawback: Some jutsus may not work underwater.
Description: Due to the evolution of the Sagasu Tribe, the Hozuki are able to breath underwater without the need to come up for oxygen. This may serve as an advantage for hiding from an opponent near bodies of water and surprise attack them. Remaining underwater is also a method of “relaxing” in order to become more energized.
Limit: Must belong to the Hozuki bloodlimit.

Kaishin Shimasu (Regeneration)
Rank: C, B, A
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: The user is capable of regenerating any part of their body that has been lost.
Special: --
Drawback: Process can be extremely slow at first, leaving one vulnerable for attack. User needs some kind of surplus water source.
Description: The Hozuki are capable of regenerating any part of their body that they wish. By pumping their chakra and mixing it with either water from near by, or from the rest of their body, the lost body part is grown back in a certain amount of time.
• C ranked: Rate of growth is 3 post for every foot. When assisted by bodies of water, 1 ½ post.
• B ranked: Rate of growth is 1 post for every foot and a half. When assisted by bodies of water, ½ a post.
• A ranked: Rate of growth is instantly.

Limit: Must belong to the Hozuki Bloodlimit. User cannot grow additional limbs other than the ones that have been lost.
