~General Information~Name: Jouijie Seiashi
Nickname/Alias: 'Who?'
Weight: 112lbs
Height: 5'4
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Appearance: Trimmed, smoothed back black hair with an annoying habit of random strands coming completely loose and hanging over his face. Has narrow, clear green eyes that have black flecks in them, extending out from the pupil at the 3 and 7 o'clock positions on the left eye and the 6 and 4 o'clock positions on the right eye. Eyebrows are slightly pointed at an acute angle, roughly tilted at 60 degrees above his eye with a tiny spike of brow going down the end, making him look vaguely intimidating. Small ears that often fade into his hair when it's uncombed and most of the rest of him is obscured by clothing. Light hands with lean fingers are really all left to be seen after a point.
Clean faced and skinned with an odd pale-mocha color to his skin, he has a general build that suits a training ninja: Lean, somewhat muscular and with a handful of scars of various kinds. His legs are deceptively slim and when actually viewed closely they have a layer of muscle on them not easy to see through his clothing. His overall build is one of subtle power, but not particularly outstanding in any capacity.
Clothing: Like many Mist-nin, Jouijie wears the typical attire; a cotton and fiber body suit with stripes on it. His suit his mainly a light, elegant pale blue with black stripes. He also wears a pair of gloves, typical of ninja with no fingers and a slightly expose palm for gripping, though on the back of them he does have a small metal plate with the Mist symbol engraved onto it. His forehead protector is tied around his left shoulder in such a manner that the symbol is facing skyward but visible from front or back of him. He wears oddly light boots however, little more then typical shinobi sandals with straps that tie around his ankle. Around his waist he wears a simple shroud, a black cloth tied in knots like a belt that hangs in an almost complete circle over his legs, down to his shins. It is stitched with light blue fabric and has the Mist symbol in the light blue on the back.

Personality: Jouijie is one of those types. Calm isn't so much the word, nor is relaxed. Quite a distance from emotionless however. He speaks plainly and well, however he often forgets to speak at times when pressure is on...Or simply doesn't. In his pressure situations, there are often periods where he won't even speak at all and simply make hand gestures. Far from being cold however, he can usually be found in crowds of people socializing nicely...He just doesn't like to talk. He's also very hard to find the line with emotionally. He tends to be quick to be friendly, but he has many easily pressable buttons that can put one on the other side of the line. And quickly.
He tends to stray from anger and tempers any emotional state he finds himself in with a thick band of reasoning. He never brags about accomplishments, he never puts himself before a companion and he serves his village faithfully. All in all, one initially can suspect him of a lack of ambition, which is far from the truth. In fact, all the things about him lend to an image that seems almost painstakingly crafted by Jouijie: Calm, reasonable, loyal, patient, peaceful and efficient. All in all, he comes off as the perfect Shinobi and because of his personality often falls into the back of packs.
In his deepest soul however, Jouijie strives to perfect himself. He isn't so much obsessed with betterment as dedicated to it. He trains often, by himself or with partners, and is often found training more then his mind. His personal favorite trainings include odd trainings such as sitting in a public place and making himself hard to notice or even more unorthodox trainings such as chakra training by standing upside down on trees, on ponds or even in semi-dangerous locations.
Comradeship means much and little to Joui at the same time. He welcomes it, but he has a deep seeded value of himself that makes him capable of ignoring the opinion or presence of peers. His personality also lends itself to the act of taking life, however. Compartmentalizing and pushing down reservations, he accepts the act of taking lives as needed for a Shinobi...Though he hasn't actually taken one yet. How he reacts under that pressure remains to be seen, but he seems to think himself capable of handling it.
~Clan Information~Clan Name: Seiashi Clan
Kekkei Genkai: - Spoiler:
Two unique attributes make up the Seiashi Clan's bloodline. Impressive affinity with Lightning and Water jutsus in universally all it's members is one of the defining features of the clan, but all of them also possess odd body traits that can be mistaken for simple birthmarks. Usually these take the form of black dots somewhere on their body, but can also manifest as dark hair, dark eyes, even things like black skin.
Araton (Storm Release): An ability that the Seiashi Clan shares with it's ancestors the Hakaki Clan, Storm Release allows the user to internally mix raiton and soiton together and form strong, destructive jutsus comprised of an electric-colored water (Usually yellow, but can also be bright blue, bright white, etc) that carries the destructive and electric powers of lightning while still being as smooth and malleable as water. In essence, the Storm element is formed by the initially uncontrolled mixing of the two elements during the chakra melding processes and released like any other.
Unlike jutsu that involves first making and then adding lightning to water, Storm jutsu is still quite literally Lightning. The main difference is that just like water jutsu, it can be more heavily manipulated during it's release, creating spectacularly aggressive jutsu that rarely have a linear path. It is also quite destructive like both it's parent elements, punching through objects with pressure and speed like lightning or dispersing over an areas to coat it in constant flows of lightning.
One of it's weaknesses is that unlike water, Storm Jutsus cannot be used for such a supporting or covert manner, all it's jutsus carrying pure destructive force with little ability to aid an ally. Water can be stored around the user or drawn from areas naturally, making the process easier and even Lightning can be drawn from the clouds or electrical sources, Storm like all Kekkai Genkai elements absolutely must be drawn from the user's own chakra reserves. Another drawback is that since Lightning and Water are opposing natures, Storm Jutsus take more concentration to meld together. With training it can become quite easy to use, but for an unskilled storm jutsus user, even a moment's distraction can actually cause the chakra to clash during melding, frying the user's chakra coils for a time and making any kind of chakra melding impossible until they heal.
Chadai: A unique biological affect of the Seiashi Clan. Their internal chakra coils, when viewed by surgery or byakugan, seem to have more paths then one expects and their body possesses odd, tumor like organs in odd places in the body. This effect is known as Chadai or Chakra Batteries. What these organs do is produce and store chakra at a constant rate, expending the excess into the user's body. Aside from providing all members of the clan with a constant, if small, flow of extra energy, these organs can be trained like muscles to provide boosts to the user's chakra in response to muscle movement They can be exhausted like regular chakra however and only provide a biological increase to the user's 'maximum' chakra capacity, not it's strength, type or regeneration.
The Chadai tend to absorb nutrients and various proteins faster then the rest of the body, including fat and calories. As such, Seiashi Clan Members are rarely overweight and often times skinnier then is healthy due to this. This is another drawback of the Chadai as they tend to consume more energy from the body then they expel in Chakra content, making it easy for a Seiashi to grow weaker then they feel.

Clan History: - Spoiler:
The Seiashi Clan's history traces itself back to the end of the Second Great Shinobi World War. After the major fighting ended, several clans that had once been prosperous found themselves depleted of numbers. Either by allying with one of the large Shinobi Villages or by remaining independent, numerous shinobi clans with unique Kekkai Genkai or even unique jutsu found themselves more or less defenseless. One particular clan was the Hakahi Clan.
While their unique Kekkai Genkai had shown itself limitedly during the war, the Clan was decimated. Hopeless, several members quickly fled to any village that would taken them, one by one, until the clan was scattered across the globe. The Elder of the Clan, gathering those who'd remained with him, decided to strike an official alliance with one of the villages. Kirigakure was the first village to make the offer.
Despite the villager's stance against Kekkai Genkai at the time, the Mizukage recognized the abilities of the clan and allowed them to live there, peacefully, but under one condition: The clan's members could not reveal their bloodline to anyone. The members of the clan who spread to other villages were officially the Hakahi clan, but those who relocated to Kirigakure renamed themselves to the Seiashi Clan. The Mizukage had expected hatred of those possessing Kekkai Genkai to dissipate after the war, but it never did. For ages, the Seiashi Clan was forced to hide their roots and practice them only in secret. They were known as 'outcast', wayward ninja who had no true skills. Even worse, their numbers dwindled quickly. Before long the prosperous clan was wittled down to a handful of members.
During the Third Great Shinobi War, the Mizukage officially lifted their restriction and much to the dismay of the Seiashi Clan, their powers we so weakened they were essentially wiped out. Only those too young to fight remained and the clan officially fell into chaos. Adopted by shinobi or left as orphans on the street, those who carried the name 'Seiashi' grow up knowing next to nothing of their unique bloodline. Those who do discover it usually are forced to train it by themselves completely.

Name: Chigami no Jutsu
Rank: D
Element: Taijutsu
Description: Formed using the Ram and Bird seals, this jutsu allows Jouijie to more directly manipulate the chakra in his hands.

Rank: C

Description: When attacking or blocking, the user temporarily focuses a large portion of chakra between skin layers, temporarily increasing the density and hardness of their skin.

Rank: C
Element: Lightning
Description: Formed by repeating the Dog, Boar, Bird and Dragon seal combination two times and then putting the fingertips of both hands together, this jutsu allows the user to channel a large amount of lightning converted chakra into the fingertips of one hand. For a single attack or movement, a current roughly equivalent to an electrical wire becoming ungrounded will surge through the fingertips of the right hand. Static lines will continually encase the shinobi's fingers. The lightning chakra can also cling minimally, allowing it's charge to carry across multiple close foes it they happen to be holding or wearing metal.
Name: Lightning Release: Shourai no Jutsu
Rank: C
Element: Ninjutsu, Lightning
Description: A very self destructive technique formed by performing the Tiger and Dragon seals twice, the user forces a large amount of chakra out of their body while at the same time converting it into Lightning chakra. The effect is a very brief, split second burst of electrical energy that shoots out from around them like a mantle. The chakra expended is immense however and because the user does not control it, it expends more chakra then it actually uses. [Note: This Jutsu is incomplete. It's final form may be higher ranked, but because of Joui's inexperience and lack of control, it is a highly inefficient and wasteful move. Completely unrefined.]
~History/RP Sample~History/Background Story: Birth: Born to a pair of low-ranking Chuunin Shinobi shortly before they left on a mission, Joui has flitted from various cares all his life. First his parents raised him until his first birthday, leaving him in the hands of their friends and companions. From that age on, he was living with a different family every year, picking up on all kinds of personalities and moods, ideals and mindsets. From harsh, dedicated Shinobi to calm, cool Assassins, he's lived with them and found himself more then once perfecting the invaluable asset of remaining quiet, complacent and above all, invisible. Taught varingly throughout his life, he picked up on many essential elements of Chakra control and ninjutsu even before his academy enrollment. When he came of age to enter the Academy however, he slipped out of the life of those who'd taken him in.
Academy: Once Joui entered the Academy, he literally became a ghost. Aside from official records and various friendships he made, nothing about him seemingly existed. He sat quietly during every class, only speaking when called on and when practices came, it seemed like he purposefully faded into the background. Middle of the pack, never leading or trailing. Though he passed with above average marks in most basic classes, none of his instructors seemed to even recall his name and most of his friends only knew him as 'Seiashi' regardless. He graduated quickly for his age, mostly owing to his upbringing and own ability.
Genin: Once he became a Genin, Jouijie completely broke free of his past. He took up his own home using his carefully hidden funds, though only enough to purchase a very, very slummy building in the back alleys of Kirigakure, and began to live for training and being a Shinobi. Though not assigned to a team concretely, he had done a few minor missions in the village...Mostly the typical D-Rank missions all Shinobi live through.
Roleplay Sample: The hand-seals were formed quickly, the young man closing his eyes as he faded into tree's shadow completely, even the whites of his eyes fading into black. His posture was quiet and contemplative, perfectly mimicing the serene forest glade he was in. A thin fog held over the area, providing even more cover for the shinobi to wait and stand. Seconds passed and he closed his eyes, then knelt down in the shadows. He focused foremost on maintaining the henge, second on paying attention to noise. The glade was right next to a small store house, in fact within touching distance of the small building. It had a clan sign on it and had bars on the windows, moonlight shining down on it. A dreary, peaceful place.
Footsteps cracked slowly in the distance, two voices distinctly making themselves known to the hidden Joui.
"S'over this way. I figure we can sell the stuff." came one and a soft grunt of acknowledgment as the steps drew closer. They were soon close enough, the crunch of a branch telling Jouijie they'd passed just in front of him...
And he opened his eyes, moving quickly in the night and grabbing both forms he saw by the collar. In a flurry of movement and a brief struggle, he'd lifted both up into the air and twisted, causing a chorus of 'Ouch!'es and 'Shit!' to echo into the clearing. Moonlight struck his two charges, revealing a pair of Kirigakure children dangling from his hands. They kicked and struggled, turning to face him, but stopped when they saw his outfit and his forehead protector.
"S-shit! They musta hired someone to watch the place after brother ripped it off..." one young man huffed as Jouijie moved, pulling that particular one under his arm and carrying him firmly, the other one still dangling from his had.
"Lemme go! Lemee goooo! Smelly shinobi! We just wanted some money..." this one pouted as Jouijie kicked his feet, propelling himself into the air and landing on one of the larger trees in the area. He found the branch he was looking for quickly and pulled the boy under his arm up, now hanging his collar off a piece of the branch. The other boy soon joined him.
"Here...I've got to go inform the Clan Guards." the young shinobi said, pushing himself down to the ground and landing feet first, huffing a little.
"But, you know, if they can't find you when they arrive, I might not remember what you look like...I get paid for stopping you, not for catching you." the man said, turning and grinning as he began to walk through the forest. The struggling and huffing of the two young boys behind him trying to free themselves was rather entertaining and quite funny to listen to.
Lifting his arms above his head, he stretched a little and bent to his side, cricking. He'd sat in the shadows far, far too long. Now he wanted to get home and rest for tomorrow, collect his pay...And hope someone gave him something worthy.
