Personality: As a member of the Totaki clan, slyness is in his heritage and will show through at the most convenient times. As someone who fights using deception, trickery, and toxins; all of these tend to leak into his personality, creating someone who is not above using other people to get ahead. HOWEVER, at a deep level his heart is pure and he finds great enjoyment in the company of others, he's just used to playing with strings, and strings can be attached to a great many things... He is not cold however, and doesn't apply harshness to his words. Instead he is calm, and collected and an analystic type of person. Most definitely someone you want on your team if you were going into a two on two battle, but not someone you would want as the aide to a general of a large army.

Taiyo is intelligent, not sub-par with a genius but above-average. He can create basic formulas and apply methods to jutsus, sealings, etc. But when it comes to advanced battle tactics, or geographical mapping he is certainly nowhere to be found. Another interesting attribute of Taiyo is his unique affinity towards things such as gears, locks, etc. He has a knack for breaking things down and finding out how they tick, this has helped him greatly when it comes to puppet-building and he has developed his own little method for creating a fluid puppet that is still battle hardy. You could say he has a intuitive way to his thinking.

Taiyo is asexual, although he himself does not describe himself in this way. He simply has no interest in members of either sex except as comrades and friends. He realizes that he will eventually have to have a family to continue his clan's legacy, but he does not feel lonely and is not swayed by sexual advances of any kind.

Likes: Taiyo is a lover of tinkering, and he is also a lover of gears and mechanics. Many things in these fields fascinate the boy, and of course no such thing fascinates him more than puppets and marionettes. But aside from the obvious, Taiyo loves soaking in a hot spring after a long day of doing hard labor, he is a lover of walking at midnight and observing the stars in the sky. On a more primal level though, Taiyo is also a lover of chaos on the battlefield and finds no more pleasure than in being amidst a great fiasco of blood and death...

Dislikes: The color yellow has always given him a headache, especially in great vibrant fashion. But other than that, things that simply won't work no matter how much effort you put into them is his greatest pet peeve. He hates when he comes across a problem that cannot be solved through any logical or illogical means. Another thing he dislikes is the sound of boiling water, an odd thing to dislike true. But just the constant bubbling gets on his nerves.

Motivation: Taiyo is motivated and strives to unlock the potential that the clan founder Taro had. He wishes to create a set of puppets that the shinobi world has yet to set eyes upon and even develop new ways to combat those who think that the puppet arts are obsolete or an invalid way of maneuvering on a battlefield. He is motivated to become a leader, someone that people can look up too and yet he would also like to be a friend, this combats with his slightly more malignant personality traits. But it is something he strives for.

Fears: Taiyo fears the obsolete, the un-fixable, the broken without any chance of repair. Be it human or an inanimate object. He has to develop some way of fixing it. He also fears hurting children, or someone who is incapable of defending themselves, this stems from a dream he had as a child where as an adult he massacred an entire village through torturous means, after awaking from this dream it left such a mental scar on his psyche that he vowed to never kill someone who was not capable of defending themselves.

Totaki

Bloodline Name: Totaki

Bloodline Ability: Puppet Sealing Method

Location: Boufuugakure

Clan History: The clan founder was said to have been Totaki, Taro. A puppeteer who was renowned amongst puppeteers for his unique method, and the fact that he was said to have beaten puppeteers who had used the Kinjutsu of the Human Puppet and their dangerous kekkei genkai through a special sealing technique that he had himself created. He was known for the "Twelve Circle Seal" which was simply a means of describing the twelve circular tattoos he had on his stomach. Each "tattoo" was said to contain one of the "Samugeki Iron Marionettes" puppets created and forged in the sands of a desert long forgotten. After he had sought his fame and fortune, he settled down and started a family. This family was the beginning of the Totaki Clan and their unique Puppet Sealing Method. Having two sons, and two daughters. He instilled in them the special art and also a love for the unique fighting style of a puppet-master. As the sons and daughters came of age, they too started families and the Totaki clan found it's place amongst the ninja clans.

A member of the Totaki clan values creativity and artistic methods over all else. Intricate designs for seals have been created, most members formulating them to highlight a special trait of the puppet it contained. For instance; Totaki, Ayumoto sealed his most famous puppet "The Fire-Breathing Bansho" in a flame design upon his left arm. Members of the Totaki do allow children to embrace other Ninja arts if they so choose, but their speciality and hidden Ninjutsu will always be most fluent in Puppeteering...

History: Taiyo was born to the clan members Totaki, Hasegawa and Totaki, Akemi. He was an only child growing up and didn't have a sibling until after his first week and second day of the shinobi academy (he remembers looking at his younger sister and thinking she looked like a wrinkled lobster.) When he was four years old, he first observed a uncle of his being sealed for his first time with a puppet similar to a raven. He remembers looking at the design on his uncles arm and noting it's beauty, even from a young age he could see the artistic talent of his family. He was allowed to enter the puppet-building room at seven and started academy classes at the age of eight. He built his first puppet for training at eleven, it was a solid marionette without weapons. But it allowed him to develop a feel for stringing and controlling the doll through use of chakra. During the academy, the boy was tested for his Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and Genjutsu prowess and scored average on each as was to be expected from a clan member that was not disposed towards those arts.

The boy was not tested for his chakra nature, and instead was placed in the care of his aunts and uncles for further training. It was during this period of ages eight to thirteen that he was taught the Fuuinjutsu needed to perform the secret clan technique, and also was drilled on proper methods of drawing and painting so that his tattoo creations would be as remarkable as they had been for years for countless members of the Totaki. At age thirteen, he was allowed to take his academy graduation test and was able to perform the solid Ninjutsu techniques needed for a passing grade. As celebration for his induction into being a shinobi, he was given the tools needed to create a proper puppet. Whether or not he would use this puppet would be up to his discretion, but it would be a learning opportunity.

The puppet he created he did in fact not use as a primary puppet. But it was of a defensive design, made to look like a golem with enhanced platings and special traps that would increase the stopping power of it's blows. It was here that the boy first began to think with an intuitive method, always fixing to make it more efficient with the least amount of effort. During his creations testing, it was found to be a remarkable build and the clan masters could wield it with the ease of one string (whereas most first weaponized creations needed at least two or three.) he was praised but not given special treatment, for the Totaki value loyalty not prodigal sons and daughters.

He was initiated as a Genin on his fourteenth birthday and given the shinobi I.D number of #468721, and for the next year he continued to hone his skill while everything else was settled. Now that he is a full fledged shinobi of the village, he has dedicated his time and energy to perfecting himself, and this is where the pen of fate begins it's tale...

"Boy... You've been getting really lazy on me, I haven't touched a patch of dirt in ages... I swear I'm going to dry out into a shriveled husk unless we get our feet in some good ol' land."

"Oh, all you do is complain. Is it my fault that we aren't allowed to leave the village right now? No, it's not. So quit your whining..." Jinzo retorted to the voice inside of his head. Sitting in his apartment talking to the voices in his head? If he was anywhere or anything else, he might be thrown in the asylum. The Jounin let out a soft sigh and pinched the bridge of his nose as he said,

"You know... It's actually been awhile since we've practiced on making any new earth techniques. Matter of fact..." He racked his brain for a second, his eyes closed in concentration as he tapped his left temple with his index finger and then nodding as he said, "Yea... All I can remember how to do is the basics..."

He could practically FEEL the snort...

"Of course that's all you remember, because all you do is sit in this room and focus your mind. I'm all about keeping a strong mind boy-o. But a strong body, and a strong chakra system are just as important!"

Jinzo let out a laugh and continued for a few seconds in mirth before he said, "Well you know. I DO have you after all, you've got enough chakra for all of us right?" He smiled inwardly and then stood up. "But I don't want to hear anymore bitching, we can go to the Arboretum, I guess they just recently included a small little area for us at my request? Let's go find out huh?" He scratched his arm, running his fingers over the slightly scaly bits and going blank for a second, his skin felt so weird... But suddenly he was jolted back into consciousness by a voice..."

"AYE! That sounds perfect! Well, what are you waiting for? Get them legs a walking!"

"Sssshhh, you don't have to yell." Jinzo said as he started to walk, "Now be quiet you unruly demon." Jinzo felt the lizard go silent as his grip was lessened on his mind. The Jounin shook himself off as he felt his body go slack and he started walking, he had often had conversations with Onamuji while walking among public, the wide berth they gave him was borderline pathetic, everyone talked to themselves! He just had the benefit of having someone to talk too.

A noise came from behind him, he stopped walking and took a look back...

Jinzo felt a bristle in his chakra and a small spike at the sight, two people with masks over their faces and knives in both hands. Common cut-throats?

"Trouble...?"

He heard as Onamuji resurfaced at the feeling of the bristle more than likely. Jinzo turned around and looked at the both of them, knives pointed in his general direction as he held his hands up and said, "Woah, woah, woah now. What's this all about? I was just heading to the Arboretum, I don't want any trouble..." Of course he got no response from the... Uh... What were they even? Assassins? He still hadn't figured it out. He looked at their knives, they were about seven inch blades. Yikes... The boy saw that they had seen him notice them (whew...) and they were slowly moving towards him. The boy thought to himself,

So... What do I do? I don't have any Earth around here, I can't do shit Onamuji..."

He could feel Onamuji bristle up in response and then he whispered,

"Lemme at 'em, just a little bit. Not too much, just enough to beat them into the floor."

"You know I can't do that. You aren't exactly the best when it comes to controlling yourself, the last thing we need is to be reprimanded and then have to pay thousands in damages, I might get demoted. Don't be dumb."

"Feh...

But after that, he fell silent... Leaving Jinzo to deal with this problem all by himself. The two masked figures started dashing towards him at a fast pace, causing Jinzo to turn on his feet and start taking off. He searched for any type of earth but the nearest dirt was about a thousand feet away. Could he make it there in time without being skewered? That was the question...

Alright, I switched it to just Puppeteering ^__^, and as for the Chakra Nature. His innate nature is Fuuton, but he never was tested and therefore has no knowledge of what kind of nature he has.
