Personal v2

Personality:
Kenshi's diverse personality has been molded by the events and situations that he has experienced within his life. A prime example of this is his extreme regiment of training he puts his mind and body through every day. Due to his sister's travels, Kenshi's sister met many philosophers who shared their insight about life to her. One such philosopher was a samurai who had transcended his limits by working his body to near-exhaustion and his mind by meditation every day. Kenshi's sister trained under this samurai for a short while and integrated the self-discipline the samurai displayed into her own life. When she returned to Kenshi, she passed the teachings on to him, and enforced them with an iron fist. As a result, Kenshi pushes his mind and body past his limit everyday, surpassing his previous limitations each day. Kenshi hasn't let his standards and diligence be restricted to training, however, as he employs the attributes to which ever task falls upon him.

Before his sister's murder, Kenshi was told on more than one occasion that he outputted an aura that rivaled the sun in warmth. His previously friendly and personable nature led him to procure many friends over the course of his life, and has landed him in some pretty good situations because of it. However, this personality is a stark contrast to his current persona. Ever since his sister's murder, Kenshi has been cold and reserved, and others have not hesitated to tell him this in the past. Kenshi rarely speaks, only doing so when addressed by a superior or giving orders. This frigid demeanor that he wears has pushed away any hopes of relating to people, and as a result, Kenshi has become an individualist, preferring to be alone when possible. Even in light of this emotionless visage, there's more to Kenshi than meets the eye. Although he may seem cold and unapproachable, Kenshi enjoys helping civilians. Upon meditating, Kenshi attributes this to his memories of himself and his sister helping others in the various places they lived.

Even though Kenshi is very reserved and somber most times, he has proved he can be somewhat happy. This is normally the case when he's in the presence of a woman he likes. In addition to being around women, Kenshi usually warms up when he's eating and helping people. Nothing about Kenshi's past is known by his comrades, and mentions of his family are not taken personally, they just affect Kenshi and place him into a dark(er) mood.

While Kenshi displays a very somber and uncaring visage most of the time, in the depths of his mind he analyzes everything. Whether it be a combat situation or not, Kenshi is always on his toes. Some attribute this portion of his personality to his adolescence, in which he had to fight to survive, others argue it is due to the ninja life he has learned to adapt to. This aspect of Kenshi has its perks and has saved his skin on more occasions than one could count on their fingers and toes. Kenshi's analytic nature has also helped him survive, as years of practice has led given him the ability to notice if most people are lying. Although his actions do not necessarily illustrate it, Kenshi is very intelligent. The constant meditation and exercising of the mind has led him to become an excellent philosopher and strategist. This has its perks in battle, as he is able to think of attacks, counters, and maneuvers within a moment's notice. The philosophical aspect has also led Kenshi to eliminate some of the smaller demons that have tormented him in the past, yet bigger ones still affect him to this day.

As far as shinobi life goes, one could label Kenshi as a no-nonsense leader. His ability to come up with strategies and counters on the spot has proved to be a useful ability in the midst of battle, and his insight on battle has proved to be invaluable. An opposition to his cold behavior, Kenshi has proven to be a protector of his comrades during several instances. One such instance where Kenshi was forced to surrender a successful mission because he ordered his squad to retreat, therefore ensuring their safety.

Likes:
Due to his rather violent upbringing, Kenshi has been placed in a disposition toward violence, and detests the idea of total peace; however, Kenshi will not hesitate to be friendly to others, if he deems the person in question a valuable ally. This situation is fairly common. One of the main staples of Kenshi's life has been training, and after years of diligently honing his skills, it has become one of the countless things he enjoys doing. Kenshi also enjoys the flavor of cinnamon and the coppery taste of blood. Kenshi also enjoys the company of women.

Dislikes:
As a consequence of his thirst for violence, Kenshi has learned to dislike the typical "white-knights" of the world; The people who reject the idea of conflict and instead vouch for peace and tranquility. In addition, Kenshi abhors harming civilians, particularly women; if he finds a rapist, there is little chance they will go on to live. Kenshi also hates the taste of sweets, specifically chocolate.

Motivation:
Kenshi, as of now, has no true motivation. He merely goes where life takes him, doing as he pleases along the way.

Fears:
While not possessing any extraordinary phobias or fears, Kenshi doesn't particularly enjoy the idea of being trapped in a closed place while water fills up the space.

Clan Information

Akatsuka

Bloodline Name:
Kadouton [Artificial Element]
(Maelstrom Release)

Bloodline Ability:
Being a wielder of the Kadouton kekkai-genkai entails many things, and bestows upon the user a variety of abilities. Throughout the generations of Akatsuka that have shown signs of the Kadouton, they have either had an adept control over the two abilities, or complete mastery of one. The abilities are as follows:

Mitsukai Raikou
(Angelic Lightning)

With this variant of the Kadouton kekkai-genkai, the user may utilize the energy found within the ions in the air, break apart the bonds holding an ionic molecule together, and harness the energy released from the broken bonds. From here, the user can add a touch of lightning chakra to serve as a catalyst, and the energy released from the broken bond will be turned into lightning. The lightning can then be directed and shifted into various forms, fulfilling its purpose as a combative kekkai-genkai. To a non-Akatsuka, it looks as if the user creates lightning out of nowhere. Due to the chakra laced throughout the lightning, it is nowhere near as bright as a lightning strike, but is brighter than a standard raiton attack. This process occurs in under a second, and the lightning's speed while traveling depends on the proficiency of the user:

D-Rank - 10 m/s
C-Rank - 30 m/s
B-Rank - 40 m/s
A-Rank - 50 m/s
S-Rank (Mastery) - 70 m/s

-

Aku Hisote
(Devilish Flames)

With this variant of the Kadouton kekkai-genkai, the user may utilize the energy found within the atoms in the air, break apart the bonds holding a covalent molecule together, and harness the energy released from the broken bonds. From here, the user can add a touch of fire chakra to serve as a catalyst, and the energy released from the broken bond will be turned into fire. The fire can then be directed and shifted into various forms from a distance, fulfilling its purpose as a combative kekkai-genkai. To a non-Akatsuka, it looks as if the user procures fire out of nowhere. All fire attacks travel at a rate of 25 m/s. This process occurs in under a second, and the fire's temperature while depends on the proficiency of the user:

D-Rank - 100 K
C-Rank - 300 K
B-Rank - 500 K
A-Rank - 1000 K
S-Rank (Mastery) - 2000 K

In addition, if one is gifted with adept control over both abilities, the fire and lightning can be converged within one another, creating an attack that hits with blinding speed and devastating damage; however, such attacks can only be obtained once the user is of A-Rank level.

Location:
Hyougagakure, Kazangakure, Shippugakure

Clan History:
The Akatsuka clan was first revered as a ninja clan within the confines Hyougagakure. From its inception into the ninja ranks and through various wars and conflict, the clan gained notoriety as one of the fiercest clans within the nations. As the clan grew and grew and the bloodline continued to reveal itself among members, tensions brewed between the respective abilities, and the clan split into two factions: the Mitsu-Akatsuka, and the Aku-Akatsuka. Both factions would leave Hyougagakure in order to achieve an adequate amount of space between one-another. Their plans were dashed when Hyougagakure prevented them from leaving, as they were one of the key factions in the military, and the devastating bloodline was invaluable.

The Akatsuka fought for their independence on separate sides of the border, and with Hyouga torn between the respective factions, they were eventually able to snake their way out of Hyouga's iron grip; however, due to the intense battle the occurred while both factions left, the numbers of the Akatsuka diminished extraordinarily. The Mitsu-Akatsuka that were left would find their way to Shippugakure, while the remnants of the Aku-Akatsuka would find their way to Kazangakure. The clan members that held the ability to procure and manipulate both fire and lightning were known as the Kadou-Akatsuki, and the very few members there was stayed in Hyouga while the rest parted. The disobedience shown by the Akatsuka clan to Hyougagakure shinobi created an intense prejudice toward any Akatsuka members that remained in Hyouga, and as a result, the Kadou-Akatsuka were discriminated against by those who lost their loved ones in the conflict between Akatsuka and Hyouga.

RP Sample:

Kenshi walked through the village streets, looking at every building he passed, trying to remember their purpose and who owned them. It was an exercise he had made for himself to try and train his memory. He managed to remember the purpose of a couple of the buildings that he had been into a lot, but he had trouble remembering the owners of some of the buildings, even some that he had been to multiple times in his life. It bugged him that his memory was so horrible, and he hoped that soon it would get better.

He knew that his parents worried about him a lot, especially his mother. She was always afraid that he would be found-out, and whenever he left the house she begged him to stay, out of fear that he would wonder off then get captured by the hostile Hyouga ninja. Sometimes Kenshi worried about that as well, but he made sure to keep out of plain sight, just in case. He also figured that it wouldn't happen, seeing as he looked no different than a regular citizen, and didn't know how to use jutsu.

As he walked he felt a couple of drops of water fall into his long hair, and looked up at the sky, noticing the dark clouds over head. He then pulled his dark hood over his face, and began to walk home. It wasn't a long walk, but he was drenched by the time he got into the house. He was greeted by his mother, who gave him a hug as he walked through the door. He gave her a big hug in return, thankful that he had such a loving mother. He then told his mother that he loved her and walked up the stairs and into his room, where he threw his jacket onto a chair and then fell onto his bed.
