Personality: Minao is very calm and laid back most of the time, even in difficult times. He is patient and wary of his surroundings and of the people surrounding him. He is smart and observant and in battle can easily come up with a solid efficient strategy to win. He isn't quick to judge but not slow either. He likes going at his pace, and likes quiet places. He is not a very talkative person but when he speaks it's either something important or useful. He can be sympathetic, and he has a cold shell surrounding him, making it hard to become friends with him. He himself does not care about the rules and if he feels like one of the rules is unfair he will do something about it. He doesn't like fighting but doesn't hate it either and only fights when he feels it's necessary. He is silent and doesn't talk much to other people. He doesn't have any friends except his sensei so it's always been hard to talk to other kids. He's lazy as well so he doesn't try as hard as he should be. (Obviously when it comes down to you know ninja stuff, he's not lazy anymore) He doesn't interact people much and thinks himself to be a person in the shadows, shrouded with mystery. He thinks, though that his new sensei and genin ninja in his squad will become his friends, and he might be able to open up. In battle he thinks of shogi, judging the opponent's position and current situation. he normally just keeps 5 or so moves in front but his capacity to be up ahead is probably 200, but that's probably his limit too, if not his potential. Minao can tick though, however hardly. The only reason he would tick and become angry is if his parents showed their faces to him or if he saw the clan. Honestly that is when he becomes angry, not even if he looses a shogi match or if he went to fight in a war against an evil,
evil opponent or enemy he wouldn't become angry, because he just isn't someone for that.
Likes: He loves playing Shogi and likes to walk around town and eating. He likes to lay down on a field and stare into the sky. he usually walks around town in the early afternoon, when it's sunny, hopefully, and good to be under a shadow. The thing he likes to eat the most would be dumplings, and when he's laying down on the fields you will often see him eating them, loads of sticks on his side. He is lazy and does like an easy in, but what really gets him is a challenge. Even though he can be lazy he loves a good challenge of shogi, and when the challenger looses he always shakes their had, in a sign of sportsmanship.
Dislikes: Minao hates his parents, and doesn't really like his clan either, however he does not hate his kekkei genkai, but doesn't like it either. He hates shouts and screams and loud noises. He hates people who brag about themselves and after all can't do what they said they could. Even though as of yet in his life he has not met a friend or had a friend he hates those who turn their backs on their friends.
Motivation: To become the leader of Tsukigakure. To become a jonin and have his own squad, where he will teach young ninjas. To become a legend in the ninja world.
Fears: He fears that he isn't strong enough to protect the village, and fears that he isn't smart enough to lead a squad or village.
Appearance: Minao has dark brown hair, that is just a little bit spiky. He has dark brown eyes. He is a little bit muscular, and he's a bit skinny, even though he eats a lot. He wears a black t-shirt under a jumper with a hood that he usually does not have on. His jumper is dark blue and it's smooth, with no pockets. He wears his headband around his upper arm. He also wears shorts that are knee-length, and they are black. Even though he is a genin he looks quite normal looking. He decided he would wear what the jonins wear when he becomes a jounin and has his own squad. For his footwear he has sandals like every other ninja.
Hinamura Ash Mimicry
Bloodline Ability: A few members of the Hinamura clan are born with the ability to transform their whole body into a cloud of burning volcanic ash at will. The ash is represented as a pitch black smoke-like substance that can shred itself into small paper-like pieces, each with a small amount of orange flames mixed in to burn enemies at close-range.
Everything on the user's body is composed of ash and carries a small amount of lingering flame, allowing the user to slightly burn enemies on contact and even ignite the flame to engulf their limbs for a further advantage in combat. They user is immune to being burnt and is easily able to resist Fire Release techniques.
Hinamura clan members with the Kekkei Genkai can reform and regenerate their bodies from ash, making it nearly impossible to receive damage from physical attacks, except when in areas with a high moisture content or when soaked with water. In ash state, members are able to control the ash of their bodies, allowing them to flow through air ducts and small openings, infiltrate structures, or launch surprise attacks. It boasts a high strategic value comparable to the Hozuki clan, though slightly less flexible than its counterpart and more battle-oriented. This ability also renders the user more resistant to extreme temperatures and heat, allowing them to go places ordinarily hazardous to normal humans, such as the Corazon de Fuego in Kazangakure.
The ash is also able to act as a form of transportation, allowing the user to transform into a plume of ash and smoke to cross short distances or navigate normally hazardous terrain without injury. The user is slower in this state than usual, but are more vulnerable than normal to the clan's main drawback: water.
The biggest weakness for the user of this ability is the presence of water or moisture. Opposite to the Hydrification technique, the ability requires that the user remain dehydrated or have little water in the surrounding environment. Being drenched or being in an area with too much moisture nullifies their ability to produce fire and can potentially paralyze the user if their body becomes too damp and sticks together.
If the user is broken apart while watered down, they can still reform from ash but it will take time for them to recover, usually between 3-5 posts depending on the proficiency of the user. The user can also be rendered unconscious if they are struck hard enough in this state, delaying their recovery by an extra 2-3 posts.
Location: Tsukigakure
Clan History: The Hinamura clan began as a nomadic group of people roaming the volcanic mountains. Except for their physical hardiness and their resistance to the harsh temperatures that made up the climate, there was nothing else special about them. They lived relatively average lives in terms of the times they lived in and generally married and had families by the age of 16.
It was a hard existence, but it was a peaceful one... until day Sugawara Shindou arrived. He came to the clan, seeking to establish a 'ninja village' as he called it and offered the clan a chance to join him. Though distrustful of strangers at first, the clan was wary of the growing amount of clans that Sugawara had accumulated in the area. It wasn't an easy decision, heck some called it the hardest decision they'd ever had to make in their lives, but after much talking among the clan's leadership, the Hinamura clan agreed to Sugawara's proposition and they joined the conglomerate that eventually became Kazangakure.
In Kazangakure, due to their numbers, the Hinamura were never a noble clan of the village, but they were known for their physical hardiness and ability to sense all the heat around them, allowing them to detect others and made them useful sensor-type ninja. As 20 years went by however, the hidden abilities of their genetics became more profound and their bodies developed the power to bond with and become the ash of the volcano at will. The gene wasn't present in all Hinamura clan members, but those who possessed it were well-coveted by the clan and guarded jealously by both their parents and the clan's leadership. By the time Kazan had declared war and began besieging Hyouga, the clan outright refused to send any of their shinobi that possessed the unique gene, hiding them away.
As time passed, the Hinamura clan proved to be one of the more troublesome and untrustworthy clans in the village. Withdrawing from politics, waiting in the backgrounds, and even began operations in the smuggling business.
When Sugawara Shindou died and was succeeded by Umesada Toshimori, he kept a wary eye on the Hinamura clan and always viewed them with distrust, namely for their gained tendency to lie and steal more than any other clan in the village. He also came to actively hate them when it was implied in an infamous incident that a shinobi from the clan sexually assaulted his daughter. The shinobi was never caught, but several factors kept Umesada from forgetting the debacle. About a year afterwards, the Hinamura clan were put under the thumb of another clan; the Nishimura clan. Though unremarkable shinobi, the Nishimura clan had close relations with Umesada and thus were usually somewhat successful merchants and lawmakers.
Under the thumb of Nishimura, the Hinamura clan was relegated more to sub-clan status. They could not marry without the approval of a Nishimura clan official and their personal information was closely monitored. The official reason for this, according to Umesada, was to promote inter-clan relations and strengthen the village's bonds, which other clans had also been practicing, but diplomacy between the others was far more warm than those that the Hinamura enjoyed. The Hinamura were abused by Nishimura, to the point where even their children were not safe from violence. The clan reciprocated in kind, doing whatever they could to lash out against those of the Nishimura without arousing the ire of the Atsusakage.
About 30 years passed by, and the Hinamura remained under the Nishimura clan's jurisdiction, limiting their numbers and their authority until Umesada finally retired and his successor, Yamada Reigo, lifted the verdict on the Hinamura . Though this time period somewhat humbled the Hinamura clan, it also made them more secretive and they continued to hoard their treasure trove of secrets in the one place that they discovered where no one else could follow them; the Corazon de Fuego.
When the Sanbi and Yonbi appeared, the Hinamura clan's main forces actively aided Yamada Reigo in the ensuing battle. Yamada Reigo died against the Yonbi before the Nanabi was able to stop the fighting and convince the two to part ways. The next Atsusakage went to Satsujin Haru, who turned out to be one of the clan's few blessings.
Satsujin Haru was favorable to the Hinamura clan and under his watch the Hinamura clan flourished. They kept their old secrets, eventually establishing the Clan's secret hiding spot in the bowels of the Corazon where the leaders met in secret and no one without the Kekkei Genkai could follow them. Their criminal business grew until they made almost as much money as 3 other clans of the village.
30 years passed, and the war with Shippugakure began in earnest. Though all clans of the village fought hard, they eventually neared annihilation. The Atsusakage, Satsujin Haru, fell in battle against Saigawa Kisuke and was subsequently killed. The village was left in ruins as the remainder of the Kazan Army fled into the night.
Some of the Hinamura managed to escape the devastation and escaped to Tsukigakure where some were able to re-establish a small presence there.
History: Minao was raised by two despising parents, a father would come home drunk every night and babble about the past of the clan, and a mother who basically didn't care about Minao himself, and instead liked to do nothing to help him at all. Both of them despised the fact that he wanted to become a ninja, and whenever he looked at them he saw hate in their eyes, and he eventually got sick of it. He ran away from home and hopes to never see his parents again, thinking he might punch them in the face or something to teach them a lesson about how a real parent should be.
In the academy things were all good. He was lazy as hell though and never could be bothered with studying or homework, but it's not like he needed those thing because at the early age of 8, he could beat his own academy sensei at shogi. There was no-one that bullied him and he didn't bully any-one either. He sat next to a girl and boy, who didn't talk to him much but were kind enough to pick up his pencil for him when it dropped on the floor. He slept through most classes, except through jutsu learning classes. His transformation jutsu was average, but enough to pass his genin test.
He liked his sensei at the academy. He practiced every night when his parents were asleep, to learn jutsu of varying types, and realized he could not do any wind or earth jutsu, but could do lightning, fire, and water jutsu.
He practised until he got better, but right now, in present time, he has a long, long,
long way to go. He trains in his apartment sometimes, alone, trying to learn new jutsu.
He is now excited to find out what squad he's going to be in and what type of jounin will his new sensei be. He ran away from home at the age of 10 and now lives alone in a small apartment, that is very cheap, however nice and comfortable for Minao. He has all the apartment tidy, but occasionally might have one or two dumpling sticks lying around somewhere. Since he lives by himself and doesn't know how to cook, he normally just goes to his favorite dumpling restaurant in town, and doesn't eat a lot of other stuff except dumplings. He also likes to try and sneak in the leader of the village's office and sit on the leader of the village's chair, to see how it feels like, however he has tried countless times and never gotten inside, often getting in quite a bit of trouble.
RP Sample: Minao stared at the sun, which with all the heat seemed to shimmer in his eyes. He was laid on a grassy field under a small tree, which provided shadow for his body. He was thinking about what his squad was going to be like and if they were going to get along. He closed his eyes, trying to get some sleep. It was four in the afternoon but he had wanted to be on the fields, and then go off to find a person to play shogi with.
After a good hour or so Minao stood up, yawning, and walked over to his apartment. He reached there after an half hour or so and opened the door of his small home. He sat down on the couch, and got the shogi board. He stood up again and put it on the kitchen table. Minao put the starting line-out of both sides and teams of the shogi board and played with himself for a bit, working on new strategies. Later on the day he was going to find a person to play shogi with...
