PERSONALITY INFORMATION: Kenji is a rather calm and level-headed person who is never one to loose control in a blind rage, carelessly dismiss something that doesn't seem threatening, or allow fear to overtake his judgement. He weighs every important decision, both in and out of combat, in a risk/reward fashion and has been doing so since childhood. Over the years Kenji has become so accustomed to this that it's practically second nature, allowing for well calculated yet fluid and fast paced combat. Kenji holds no negative judgement towards any village in particular, unlike the majority of his relatives who were prejudice towards anyone outside of Raiugakure. On the other hand he is always cautious of other Shinobi until they can prove to be trustworthy. He respects those above him but will voice his opinion if he believes someone is making a mistake or if something isn't being handled properly. He treats those his rank or below in a respectful manner, at least those who deserve it. However, those who rub him the wrong way will be met with disdain and sarcastic comments meant to cut them down to size. Once lost his respect and trust are hard to regain.

While he doesn't openly seek confrontation Kenji will constantly push himself to become stronger and often enjoys fighting and sparring with opponents that push him to his limits. He would never dream of betraying a comrade or his village, and despite living the majority of his life in Raiugakure he would never abandon the place he now calls home. This unwavering dedication is devoted to the memory of his father and mother, who stood by every decision Kenji made. Like the majority of Jinsei Shinobi Kenji treats Denji Karitoriki as an extension of his own body and as a result it never leaves his side, he even brings it everywhere he goes while off duty no matter how troublesome it can become. Eventually Kenji hopes to replant the roots of the Jinsei Clan, but before he can focus on that he wants to gain as much power as he possibly can in order to fully protect his home and future family. Apart from that Kenji is a rather normal individual. He goes out on the town every now and then in order to unwind, has a few drinks, shares a few laughs, socializes a bit, anything to focus on the here and now for a bit.

Over the years Kenji has gathered a fair amount of information from his studies and the Jinsei archives. He knows of the seven swordsmens' blades, their names, their appearance, and their unique powers as any proper smith should, however he has no desire to acquire them whatsoever. He knows about most of the major clans of the various cities and what some of their special abilities are including the Senju Clan and their wood release, the Kaguya Clan and their bone release, the Uchiha Clan with knowledge of the lesser Sharingan states, the Hyuga Clan and their Byakugan (Doesn't know of the weak point or advanced techniques), the Aburame and their insects, and the Kajiya Clan with their metal release (The Kajiya were a Raiugakure clan alongside the Jinsei whose smiths often held a rivalry). He also knows a fair amount about the human body, not as much as proper medical specialists but enough for effective field first aid use. Kenji has a very good sense of direction, which is primarily due to his magnetic chakra which reacts to the planets magnetic field, and can act as a human compass even while blind folded. While Kenji is deeply saddened by the loss of his family and Raiugakure he doesn't show it, it's not that he's hiding it but that despite it only being a few months he's already come to terms with it.

NAME: Denji Karitoriki (Electromagnetic Reaper)
TYPE: Claymore.
APPEARANCE: (Visual Aid) The hilt is 18 inches long and wrapped in a grip promoting leather with a simple ball pommel. The crossguard is a foot wide, the red gemstones set in the middle of both sides were given to him by his father and mother. The extended handle and guard section is 8 inches long and the handle is wrapped in the same grip promoting leather, this extended guard may appear to be gold but it's just a decorative coloration put into the same steel the rest of the blade is made from, and is just as durable. The actual blade portion is 5 feet long, giving the weapon a total length of 7'3" with a weight of 58lbs.
RANK: A
SPECIAL ABILITY:

• Excellent Chakra Conductivity: Denji Karitoriki is made from the best chakra conducting steel one can buy, as are most Jinsei weapons, allowing for seamless transition between weapon and master. Coupled with Kenjis expert chakra control this allows for a nearly 100% return on unused chakra making basic chakra imbuement nearly effortless, only costing chakra when it comes in contact with an object or person.
  
• Extremely Durable: Due to the Jinsei magnetic tempering process Denji Karitorikis durability is matched by few blades. It is even capable of going against a few S-rank jutsu and non-imbued S-rank weapons while being imbued.
  
• Magnetic Field: The blade itself has two chakra sensitive magnetic cores, one running along the inside of each edge and down through the guards around the extended handle. The core running along the inside of the front, or cutting edge as Kenji calls it, pulls on anything magnetized by Kenji. From a distance this pull is barely noticeable but the closer you are to the blade the stronger the pull, however only when you get within six inches of the edge does it produce enough magnetic draw to physically pull a small person towards it, this magnetic fields main purpose is to make it more tiring for enemies to run away and alter trajectories of objects in the air. The core inside the back, or tactical edge, puts out a strong field that repels things magnetized by Kenji, as well any ranged weaponry made from iron or steel. This edge is designed solely for blocking and redirecting attacks, however if the attack/jutsu is fast enough or large enough the magnetic field will have little effect. Only Kenji knows which edge of the blade is the front and which edge is the back.
  
• Magnetic Transference: Any object or person that comes within two feet of Denji Karitoriki is magnetized for three posts and anything that comes in direct contact with it is magnetized for five. If a Shinobi is magnetized, either through this process or a separate jutsu, all jutsus used after magnetization are also magnetized for the post duration. (Sound and Wind jutsus excluded)

ORIGIN: Painstakingly hand crafted by Kenji himself while he was just a child apprenticing under his father, the clans Master Smith at the time. It wasn't always this big, Kenji has reforged it multiple times and changed a few designs over the years to adapt it more to his evolving style and increase in height.

SIMPLE EQUIPMENT:

• 50ft of high test steel wire, typically used for binding and traps but can be implements in combat through magnetic manipulation and jutsu.
  
• Field first aid kit including antiseptic gel, gauze, needle with small spool of stitching thread, a small bottle of high proof rum, and a flint lighter.
  
• A month's worth of dried military rations, tastes like cardboard but it'll keep you alive.

CLAN: Jinsei
JUTSU SPECIALTIES:

Main: Kenjutsu
Sub: Ninjutsu

ELEMENTAL AFFINITY(S):

Main: Raiton (Lightning Release)
Sub: Jiton (Magnet Release)

SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS:

• Highly Advanced Chakra Control: Kenji was born with an already abnormally high chakra control and training under his father, next in line to become the master smith, as his main apprentice since he was a child honed his control to a level that nothing is ever wasted and jutsus only require one seal to focus the proper amount of chakra.

FLAWS/WEAKNESSES:

• Despite, or perhaps due to his highly advanced chakra control Kenji has a permanently reduced chakra capacity that is roughly 30% lower than those of his rank.

HISTORY
Born to Takeshi (Father) and Yuri (Mother) Jinsei Kenji wasn't what you would call a normal child. While he grew up in an atmosphere that supported the ides of youth Kenji never spent much time playing with other children, instead he was more likely to be found observing those of age in their rigorous training sessions set forth by the clan elders and mimicking them to prepare himself for when he came of age, or his favorite pastime, watching his father at work. Takeshi was the primary apprentice under the clans Master Smith and next in line to take the title, watching him at his craft was simply mesmerizing to a young Kenji and he simply couldn't wait until he could try it himself. Noticing how eager Kenji was to grow up Yuri, who was a prominent Chuunin in the clan, decided it couldn't hurt to administer a few tests early to see where he was at. Much to her surprise he passed the physical stamina, hand-eye coordination, and basic combat tactics tests with relative ease, and when she decided to administer a chakra affinity test for the hell of it she was almost struck speechless. Yuri never expected a 4 year old to be able to control their enough to cause the paper to react, but it crumpled almost instantly in two different ways, the standard lightning effect, and a less common circular effect that formed at different distances radiating from his fingers. Kenji thought this was normal, and never knew why his mom made such a fuss over it until a few years later. When she told Takeshi of the results he was ecstatic, and within a few weeks took him under his wing and began teaching him the art of "Lightning Forged Steel".

While he was extremely attentive and skilled for his age Kenji was still just a child, he was far too small to properly wield the tools necessary for smithing, instead Takeshi explained the entire process step by step in excessive detail until Kenji memorized it, and after that he would have Kenji "guide" him through the smithing process and tell him if he missed something, which didn't happen very often. In between these smithing sessions with his father Kenji would spend some time with his mother learning the basics of Kenjutsu and general combat when she wasn't away on missions. This went on until Kenji turned 7, where on his birthday Takeshi gave him his very own blacksmith's hammer, which was coupled with a voucher from his mother for early submission into the academy and his first real weapon, a basic wakizashi. To many kids this age it wouldn't have been the best birthday, but as I said Kenji wasn't like most kids. He could barely control how happy he was, to him this was the best birthday ever. After a weeks break Kenji enrolled in the Raiugakure's Shinobi Academy, in addition to starting his real smithing training at home.

The rest of his childhood consisted of books, kenjutsu sessions, basic jutsu training, and working a forge. Any sort of free time was usually taken up with even more studies, which caused his parents to worry that he was completely skipping his childhood, but to him this was his childhood. He loved to learn, to train, to smith, for Kenji this was fun, and fun that he excelled in to boot. Tests in the academy were laughable for him, learning the basic jutsus was a breeze with the chakra control training from his father, and his mother had more than prepared him for physical tests. You could say he was a prodigy, and maybe he was in some aspects, but it wasn't like he knew everything or was out in the field killing people by the age of 10. The elder members of their clan kept a close eye on Kenji, he was one of the most promising youth they've had in a few generations and they planned on honing him into a great military asset once he graduated, however they would soon find that it wouldn't be so simple. Kenji accepted the Raiugakure headband with pride a few months before his 10th birthday, however instead of being assigned to a Jonin in a team of three he was chosen by the Jinsei elders to undergo more advanced training along side the younger Chuunin of the clan, which also meant that Kenji could now commission his own custom weapon. Takeshi and Yuri were as proud of their son they could be, but they didn't like that the elders were taking control of Kenji's life, and neither did he. The elders gave Kenji a month to celebrate his graduation and commission his weapon before they were to begin his advanced training.

Takeshi would have been more than happy to forge Kenji's coming of age weapon for him, but Kenji insisted on forging his own and his father was just as happy to provide the materials. For the next three weeks Kenji worked the forge tirelessly, putting at least 16 hours a day into forging various types of weapons, testing them, and then recycling them because they didn't "feel" right. It had nothing to do with the quality of the work, they were actually quite well made, not as good as his fathers work but better than most standard smiths, they just didn't feel like "his" weapon. Eventually he found a weapon style that seemed to fit him better than any of the others, a simple claymore that ran the length of his body with a slightly extended hilt, but even then it still felt like it was missing something. With his coming of age weapon complete Kenji used the remaining days to attune himself to his new blade by training with his Yuri before moving into the clans primary barracks for his continued training.

Life in the primary barracks wasn't difficult but it was demanding, they had Kenji on a strict regiment of training developed to hone his body and mind. Morning warmups went from 6:00am to 8:00am and consisted of basic exercises with a 15 minute breakfast in the middle. Next came meditation from 8:00am to 9:00am. After that was advanced Kenjutsu training running from 9:00 am to 12:00pm, from there 3 hours of Ninjutsu and chakra flow training, and then another 3 hours of field tactics and mission simulation. He got a half hour dinner at 6:00pm before an hour and a half of studies and tests. 8:00pm to 9:00pm consisted of a second meditation session that signaled the end of the day. This went on for 6 days a week over the next two years, and needless to say it was exhausting, but it payed off. Kenjis combat prowess drastically improved, alongside his tactical knowledge, chakra control, and general intellect. He was given leave for a few weeks to celebrate his 12th birthday, which he also used to reforge Denji Karitoriki to match his increased height. After his brief break Kenji was assigned his first mission, a simple investigation and reconnaissance of a suspected gang leader running an extortion racket out of a small bar in the slums of town. Kenji was surprised they gave him a C-rank mission right off the bat, but he figured they believed in his abilities so he wouldn't let himself fail. None of which was mentioned to his parents, who would protest immediately, not because they don't believe Kenji could do it but because it was still just his first real mission.

Well as many things are this mission wasn't quite as "simple" as it seemed to be, the suspected gang leader turned out to be a C-rank Missing-Nin, who lured Kenji into a trap and cornered him in an ally behind their bar/hq. The irony of the situation came when a 12 year old reversed said trap with his own previously placed one leading to the hired muscle being strung up by their ankles with steel wire. The clash between Kenji and the Missing-Nin followed suit, which was short but nonetheless intense, the threat of death presented itself and Kenji stayed calm under the pressure, eventually subduing the suspect while sustaining some mild injuries. Kenji was rather proud of himself, as was the rest of his clan, but his parents were furious with the clan elders. It took some time but Kenji managed to calm Takeshi and Yuri down. While he did disagree with some of the elders choices and motives Kenji actually enjoyed how much he was learning, on and off the field, and eventually his parents grew to accept that.

After a few more simple missions and his 13th birthday Kenji was paired with two Genin hopefuls in order to take the Chuunin exams. He was the youngest in the group by a few years but they respected him due to his families background. The Chuunin exams themselves went along without a hiccup, the written portion was a breeze due to his countless hours of studying, the team survival portion was more challenging but they managed to prevail and go on to the last segment, which in itself was pretty easy from someone who had been training with and against Chuunin for the past 3 years. Kenji himself ended up forfeiting strategically in the final round against a Hyuuga after a long and tiring battle, his chakra reserves simply couldn't cope, while his teammates managed to make it midway. In the end Kenji was promoted to Chuunin status along with one of his teammates, who both went their separate ways after the exam. The next two years were rather uneventful, more missions, more training, more tweaks to Denji Karitoriki with the addition of it's extended handle and guard, and more smithing experience. This went on until a few months after Kenjis 15th birthday when he was assigned his first solo B-rank mission, hunting down a Missing-Nin that was located on the very outskirts of the Land of Lightning. The mission in itself, while long and painstaking, ended up a lot different than expected. Turns out the Missing-Nin in question was mauled by a small family of bears after choosing to hide in the wrong cave, but nevertheless this wild goose chase ended up drastically changing Kenjis life.

While he was away his home, his family, his entire life was destroyed by a single man in an instant. Kenji couldn't even get remotely near Raiugakure, the land was simply too inhospitable. Utter shock began to set it as he realized that everything and everyone he knew was reduced to nothing but ash and molten rock, he was devastated. For hours Kenji did nothing but stare into the wasteland speechless with tears rolling down his cheeks, until he realized something, this mission was somewhat spur of the moment, it could've just as easily been given to any other Chuunin, but instead he was spared the fate of his Village, of his family. It was then that Kenji decided he wouldn't waste this gift of life constantly mourning his family and friends, he we go on to lead a fulfilling life in memory of everything they did for him, especially the loving support form his mother and father. Kenji then set off in the direction of the closest Hidden Village, Kemurigakure, which after about a month he managed to find his way to their doorstep. In all honesty Kenji didn't know what to expect when he arrived, he had no official business being there and technically he was a missing-nin, but under the circumstances he didn't think that would matter. He willingly submitted himself into their custody and explained his situation, which after confirmation of Raiugakures destruction they released him, however they still watched him closely. After a few weeks Kemurigakure allowed Kenji to join their military so he could attempt to make a living there, however they would only give him a Genin position until he could prove himself trustworthy and capable.



RP SAMPLE
CLICK! The rattle of thousands of chains briefly stirred Thaddeus from his unconsciousness as he was dragged a few feet by shackles bound to his wrists. CLICK! "AHHHHH!" Screams of fear and agony filled the fiery haze you could call air as Thaddeus was dragged another few feet. Those screams broke Thaddeus free from his semi-coma as he suddenly realized what was going on. CLICK! He was dragged another few feet, and the previous screams went silent. Jet lagged was an understatement to how Thaddeus currently felt. With a strained look on his face he slowly brought himself to his feet, only to become speechless to the horrendous sight before him. CLICK! The chains strapped to his arms pulled him forward once more, but it wasn't just Thaddeus. A countless sea of chained souls could be seen in every direction. With each set of chains leading to a massive, slowly rotating grinder, the source of the periodic clicking noise, but that wasn't what caught Thaddeus's attention. Above that grinder was a tower piercing the red sky like a needle. At least a mile high the top of the tower could not be seen beyond the fiery clouds above. Each window of this spiraling tower constantly spewed fire, that's when it dawned on him. This was the forge that kept the flames of hell burning, a forge of souls.

Everyone seemed to be in the same condition, shackled by their necks to their wrists, and their wrists to the blood soaked grinder feeding the inferno. How they spent there ever shortening life varied however. Some were attempting to resist, but the glassy sands prevented any efforts. Some were unconscious as Thaddeus was moments ago, either that or they just accepted their fate and waited to be crushed into oblivion. And still others were actually walking towards the massive grinders in the distance, fueled by the desire to end their suffering once and for all. Each soul was garbed in the same white bandages from neck to ankle, and Thaddeus was no exception. However these weren't simple bandages, he could feel them slowly sapping his energy like a parasite attached to his soul, but even more than that, they suppressed his ability. CLICK! The grinder turned another notch, causing Thaddeus to lurch forward another step, along with each and every soul around him. Thaddeus held out his hand, attempting to form any sort of weapon, but none came. Only a light spurt of black mist sprung forth.

"Damn... I guess I'll have to do this the old fashion way." "What the fuck do you think yo...?" "Shut up!" Grabbing the closest soul by the chain around their neck Thaddeus casually dragged the confused soul towards the immense tower in the distance. It must've been at least a day before he reached the base of the tower, the size of which he severely misjudged. The tower must've been miles in diameter, with the entire outside of the base a three-hundred story rotating wheel of blood caked spikes, varying from a few feet to nearly a hundred. Dragging the chained souls into the fiery pits below. "I like their style..." "What the hell do you plan on doing?!?" "...Didn't I tell you to shut up?" "Woah woah woah wait just a AHHHHHHHhhhhh..." Thaddeus grabbed his hostage by the neck and launched him into the sky towards the grinder, effectively creating a human grappling hook as the poor man was gruesomely impaled on the spikes above. CLICK! The grinder rotated a few feet, but there was plenty of slack left for Thaddeus to climb his way up the grinder. The blood he thought soaked the grinder was in fact nothing of the sort, it was a dull red glow blasting everything nearby with intense heat. Residual heat from the furnace it passed through weeks or perhaps months ago. The body he threw nearly an hour ago was nothing but an ashy goo by the time he reached the end of its chain.
