Character's Mental Description: He's an incredibly chipper fellow for the amount of bodily harm he's been through. He doesn't seem to have a fear in the world, and is very lighthearted. This makes him seem as though he never takes anything seriously, which he doesn't. When he arrives on scene, facepalms are had everywhere.
Multiple Personality Application: None
Character History:
Early Life - Academy Days
Isshin was raised by a store clerk that had more than one chip on his shoulder about everything. A rather crass old man that seemed to be mad at the world cause they didn't want him to be a ninja, when in reality he blamed everyone else for his inability to hang with the big boys. This of course, made the man force his only son into the life, to prove that at least someone with his blood had the stones to do it. Isshin didn't mind though, it got him away from his rather angry father and allowed him to meet a lot of new friends.
It wasn't long into the academy however that he had his very own rival, like a scene straight out of your favorite manga. It was a brash kid who demanded they compete, and would always try to show him up in class. The goading didn't work at first, but the more it happened the more he wanted to win and then the bully acquired a bloodline technique, and so he began training hard, if only to wipe that smug look off the kids face. So, he did, training all the time both physically and emotionally. He developed a thick sense of humor as a way to guard himself against people like him, using his wit to deflect rage and hate. It hardly ever worked, but every so often he could avoid a fight by just acting like a jackass.
Gennin - Chuunin
Straight out of the academy, he was scouted to be an ANBU due to his rather tough physical nature due to his over training. They needed people like him, or at least that's what he thought. It wasn't until training under his mentors for months that he found out he was a project, something meant to be thrown away eventually. Some rather violent things followed, and he claimed their position after getting away and playing politics with the ANBU higher ups. He may have been humorous at almost all times, but he still took things seriously, this being the prime example.
ANBU - Current
He's now helping Sunagakure get back on it's feet after the cabal tore it down, getting promoted to jounin level ANBU for his service during the attack. His current goal is to climb the ranks further and continue to make his dad proud.

ANBU Training - Unknown Time, Unknown Place.

"Quit being so defensive, you need to be more offensive, quit letting the enemy take the initiative, don't let them control the flow of combat!" a muffled series of orders were yelled at Isshin, his guard being raised and a series of wounds marking the front of his body. He was struggling to stand, but that was the point. Pushing the boy to his limits, molding him to be a fine anbu. They where in a wide open, but dark place, like a cave within this city sized cave. There were two ANBU with him, both in full gear with no distinct features. They where true to their name, as he'd never even seen their faces despite having been training with them for a while now. He only knew them by nicknames he gave them, Shorty and Legs. One was obviously short, the other was a girl and he liked her legs, it was a totally sexist nickname.

"Alright break break..." Shorty said, coming from the shadows with his head in his hand, something Isshin was accustomed to as he was more often then not spouting something cringeworthy or making an ass of himself, however this time it was because he was downright failing what the anbu had wanted from him. "You need to drop your guard a little bit and take an offensive stance like this..." Legs posed, Isshin mimicing but it felt foreign, he had trained himself to be this tough brick wall, he wasn't a scrapper, but they were trying to turn him into one. After seeing the stance, rather poorly held by him, she broke her own stance and patted him on the back. "Eh, just rest...we'll start over in a few hours." she said with this dissappointed undertone to her voice. They struck up a fire in the cave, illuminating it more clearly and showing it really was just a smaller cave within the bigger city, an offshoot on what some would call a far border wall to the town. They'd all three sit around the fire, he slinking down and laying, slowly closing his eyes as he felt quite tired.

"Do you think he's worth anything to him?" Legs spoke.

"I doubt it, but we've put so much work in, we have to try." Shorty replied.

They didn't know he was listening silently, until they stopped talking and just looked at the fire. Their silence eventually lead him to actually fall asleep, dreaming of a simpler time when all he had to deal with was a bully with special talents. When his biggest worry was being more special then the kid who could see through walls, or had colonies of bugs inside them. He wasn't born with something like that, he had to fight to be tough. Now, he was good at taking a beating and nothing else. Some time would pass and he'd awake, but he wouldn't be where he fell asleep. He was in some kind of room, with just a bench in it and a door, lit only slightly by candlelight.

He felt groggier than usual, as if he'd been asleep much longer than he'd assumed and his body felt slow. Had he been drugged during his sleep? Where had he been moved to? Both good questions he would pose to himself as he stood up, holding the wall next to him to get his bearings, his legs having a hard time cooperating, like jelly beneath his torso.
"Guys?" he called out as he fumbled to get closer to the door, grabbing the handle and twisting. Surprisingly it was open, but the door itself was heavy, so he had to push his whole body into it. It would swing open, and he'd slide down it about half way before catching himself and using the weight of the now open door to prop him up, his legs were beginning to get feeling again, the prickles would begin as if they'd been asleep. However, he wouldn't have time to notice the pain as he looked on at where he was.

Cathedral

It was a massive cathedral with stain glass windows, shining the light from the city in. Or so he thought at the time, when really it was artifical light from just outside the windows, giving the illusion of space. There was an altar at the far end, a pedastal and a large bowl filled with a red liquid, assumed wine, in front of it at the exit to the center row of pews. He'd walk, now fully functionally, to the pews and begin his trek across the large hall to the altar where Shorty and Legs where kneeled, a faint chanting heard from the two, but it echoed through the empty halls making it feel alive, as if the whole place was full.

"What's going on here, where am I?" Isshin asked, the chanting stopping abruptly.

"You're up early, we didn't have time to prepare." Legs spoke, both of them standing in unison and spinning around, what appeared to be sacrificial knives in hand.
"Told you we should have tied him up." Shorty chimed in, as they slowly closed in on him.

The obvious reaction here was to run, but he couldn't bring himself to. He just backed up slowly, he had a lot of room to do so, but tripped over his feet, falling into a pew seat. He'd stand and use the pews as leverage to do so, moving down the pew isle.

"What are you doing, stay away." he said as they began to move faster, the chase was on. They leaped over pews, and after him. He turned and ran but he had no plan, it was obvious he was about to die if he didn't think of something. So, he ran to the end of the pew and down the isle toward the altar, they were closing in on him fast. He bent down and picked the pedastal up, spinning around and throwing it. Shorty got hit and went down, but Legs dove him and shoved the knife into his side. He grabbed her by the arm as he screamed in pain and fell backward into the large bowl of wine, taking her with him. There was a struggle within, sloshing about as they threw fists and Legs stabbed him a few more times. He had taken her advice to heart, going aggressive, but only to save his life. He fought ferally, and held her head down in the liquid until she ceased breathing. Then he'd scramble to get out of the bowl, knife in hand. He was bleeding from his wounds, but it wasn't noticeable as he was caked in red, only later when he stopped and could actually taste things, would he realize that was pretty much a blood shrine.

Shorty had recovered and was after him, he couldn't bring himself to move though, just hold the dagger up as if it was a kunai. He wasn't well versed in weapons, so he made due with what he knew. The knife fight would begin, a series of clangs as they locked eyes, and through Shorty's mask, a faint glow of rage in his eyes.
"We thought you'd make a terrible sacrifice you feculent piece of scum. You'll appease jashin now, I'm sure of it!" Shorty said in an increasingly insane tone. He began to break out into laughter as he swung his dagger wildly, he was either having fun or losing it. Then in one deft move, Isshin stopped defending and stepped inward, taking the knife to his shoulder in order to deliver a killing blow to Shorty's heart. His eyes would go dark, lifeless, and he'd slump over, sliding off of Isshin's body and collapsing to the floor.
Suddenly, Isshins hand would begin to burn, forcing him to drop the dagger as it superheated from out of nowhere. He'd take a look at the wound, a burn mark in the shape of the symbol the worshipers of Jashin wore. The bowl in front of the now deceased Shorty, with the body of Legs hanging out of it, would begin to boil violently. Moments pass and the body falls out. No skin, muscle, or anything from the torso up. As the bubbling subsided, a book that appeared to be leather bound would arise from the center of the blood. He walked over to it weakly, reaching his now burnt dominant hand out to grab it, as if on instinct. As the symbol and the book touched, the blood would let out a pulse as the whole cathedral began to shake.

The entire place began to come down, rafters and beams falling apart, large chunks of marble coming off the cieling. The windows shattered inward and covered the area in shards, one very large one sticking into Shorty and severing his top and bottom half. Isshin had no time to think, he kept his head low and ran full steam toward the exit. As he bursted through the door, the rest of the cieling came down behind him. He couldn't stop though, winding his way through what appeared to be one long tunnel. The entire thing was caving in behind him. As he neared the mouth of the cave, he dove forward. The rocks falling down behind him, a large amount of dust picking up and shooting out around him.
He laid still for a moment, his eyes shifting to his hand, still holding the book tight. Dragging his body to an upright position, he'd open the book. It was bound in what appeared to be leather, written in red ink, and heavy. It was a Jashin bible, or rather one tailored to him. It spoke of how he earned Jashins favor by killing the two who had planned to sacrifice him. How Jashin wanted powerful sacrifices, and how the owned of this bible would be able to do that. There was much to be discovered in the book, and perhaps it was the mark on his hand driving him, but he needed to see what else he could ascertain from this unholy bible.

A sound would jar his head up from the book, slamming it closed as an announcement was made in the sky, the cabal had attacked. He looked out at the city and saw a plume of smoke where the tower used to be. Tucking the book away, and seemingly fine from his previous injuries, he leaped into action to help the city.

Steadfast App:

Growing up is hard, specially so when you're a ninja. Kids sprouting all kinds of abilities, from crazy spinning red eyes to white dead like eyes to hosting nests of insects and growing extra arms, so what do you do when you have none of that? When you can't have super senses or the ability to call down storms from thin air? You get tough! That's what Isshin did, going through old monk rituals of the iron body, forcing himself through tons of pain unbeknownst to those around him, to numb the nerves in his body, toughen his skeleton, and do anything he can to gain the upper hand among his peers.It wouldn't be the first time he did something ridiculous to win over the hearts of his peers, and It wasn't a pleasant experience, and some might have called him obsessed, but he didn't want to be a normal ninja, he wanted to stand out. He succeeded, so much so that he was picked up by the two anbu he would later kill before the incursion from the cabal, two corrupt ANBU looking to score points with their god and get unfathomable power, to stand out as he wanted to.

Contract Question:

Name of any Contract you currently own:
- If Retiring character, list link to obtaining the Contract. You will regain this contract upon rebirth back into this character. Contracts do not carry over to new characters normally.

Both options require a writeup to be sent to the contract team for approval of how you gained the contract as your new character. You may not switch to Kami/Youkai from another contract.

 

[Mikaboshi]

I'll take a look at this when I get home from work unless another council person gets to it before me.

 

[Takahashi Aki]

So... passing on the snake contract due to unfortunate circumstances... other than that this looks good.

But I'm looking forward to the facepalms to be had in the future.
