The first impression of Kibashi that many have is that he seems apathetic. Upon closer inspection, he is extremely courageous and honorable, an individual extremely proud to serve the Lightning Country and incredibly disciplined in his training and studies. He is a stalwart and self-assured young man with an unyielding stoic countenance that hardly ever betrays bewilderment or enthusiasm, but if whatever it does, it's often to a minimal level. Kibashi is extremely intelligent and analytical, his emotions are merely skewed in direction, mostly towards pride in the Nagasuro name. Thanks to his distinctive analytical abilities, he is able to promptly categorize people into hostile and non-hostile (most people see 3, hostile, neutral, and friendly but have hard time determining who is friends and who is an enemy). As a result of his conditioning and training from his young age, he does not possess the ability to feel any strong emotions like fear, despair, envy, hatred, disgust, gluttony, lust, sloth, and love. However, due to finishing his training early, he does feel these emotions albeit to a minimal level, often being unable to properly categorize the emotion he is feeling.
[lb2][/lb2]
Among his several idiosyncrasies, Kibashi is often teased for displaying a total lack of common sense regarding social interactions, as a product of his numerous misunderstandings and uncanny responses towards regular teenage affairs, which could be explained by his deprivation of any real social background that did not concern military and bureaucratic background. He exhibits an overabundant amount of modesty, whenever he is praised for his outstanding physical abilities and intellectual achievements. Contrary to popular belief by those who just meet him, he is not apathetic to the point of deserving an emotionless label, since he can be kind and caring towards friends and classmates and at times teases others for his own personal amusement. Furthermore, while he doesn't possess strong sexual cravings, he can still feel aroused and indulge in carnal delight, as he is perfectly aware of the enticing beauties that at times surround him. In conclusion, he is a young man who, despite having undergone dire straits and having lost much of his emotional freedom, is still confident in himself and his aptitude to change the Lightning Country and the world for the better.

[td=null,1]Physical Appearance<i></i>
[lb][/lb]
Kibashi possesses an athletic and sturdy body which is taller than the national average. He has a deep-set of amber colored eyes and a piercing gaze, which combined with his stoic personality makes him seem unapproachable. Many people generally view him as austere and competent-looking. The most noticeable trait on him are his amber colored eyes, usually the first thing that people notice on him. He has various scars across his face, one a particularly long slash across his nose and cheek, creating a diagonal shape, with a smaller cut right above the larger gash. He never really explains how he received this scars, though many believe he most likely gained them during swordsmanship duels against older more experienced soldiers as they appear to be sword induced scars. His hair is a dark brown color which only adds contrast to his eyes, many viewing the contrast to be quite attractive. He has various scars across his entire body, especially his hands and torso. He seems to have another ex-shaped scar on his right hand back hand and two horizontal scars on his left back hand.
[lb2][/lb2]
Clothing Style<i></i>
[lb][/lb]
Kibashi is known to dress mostly on monochromatic clothing, having a strong preference towards dark earthly colors, mainly black and gray. He traditionally wears kimonos when attending family events or events that require a more traditional setting but has been known to regularly wear suits and ties for other types of settings and events. During training or combat mission, he wears the clan armor which is a traditional Dō armor worn by Samurais that have been a long standing tradition by his clan. His Dō is primarily black with shoulder padding and very little decoration or embellishments. His particular Dō has been customized to allow more mobility as he is the first in his clan to head down the path in becoming a shinobi. His torso is largely exposed as he wears a wrapped leather cross across his waist to allow better torso movements for agile and dexterous moves. He also wears a black scarf around his neck that is rather warm and long in length, giving him the option to wrap more of his body if necessary. He maintains his Dō clean and properly fitted, making it seem as if it was new upon every wear. He has been known to wear more casual clothing as well when not training, albeit free of wrinkles and stains and always neatly maintained.

[td=null,1]A Spartan Lifestyle - Origin Story<i></i>
[lb][/lb]
The Nagasuro Clan is a traditional military noble clan with a long standing history in supporting the Imperial Army and Navy in various wars and battles throughout the Lightning Countries history. Since their founding in Port Cirrus, they have produced numerous soldiers and high ranking officers with a deep sense of pride and patriotism towards the Lightning Country. All members born into the Nagasuro Clan are trained in the art of Kenjutsu (剣術,"the method, technique, or art of the sword"), war strategies and tactics, and live by the strict code of Bushido (武士道, "the way of warriors"). The life of the Nagasuro Clan was to become a soldier, children who cried were ignored or punished severely for showing weakness. Since an early age, they were conditioned to fear nothing, including solitude. It was considered disgraceful to not join the military, and one would be excommunicated immediately if they refused to perform the clan duty.
[lb2][/lb2]
When a Nagasuro male was born, at the age of five they were immediately taken from their mother and sent to a specialized military barracks owned by the clan where they would eat, sleep, and train with the older members and soldiers. They would live in these barracks until they were old enough to enlist in the Imperial Army or Navy. In these barracks they were taught discipline, athletics, survival skills, hunting, weapons training, and were subjected to physical and psychological torture in order to endure pain and stress. They were regularly taught how to control their urges in order to not succumb to female seduction as it was considered disgraceful to be seduced and killed by an enemy soldier, which would result being buried with the symbol of shame placed on the headstone, the belief being that even in death all would know of the disgrace.
[lb2][/lb2]
Nagasuro females were taught various skills, taking positions mostly in the medical research section or education in order to further train the future soldiers of the Nagasuro Clan. However, if a female was considered to be exceptionally talented in combat or swordsmanship, she would be transferred to a special wing dedicated to these female elite soldiers and underwent the same curriculum that the boys went through with an emphasis on leadership as they were considered special due to their skills and instincts. As such, females albeit treated differently in the beginning as the boys, were highly valued in the clan and it was considered that a strong woman would eventually give birth to an even stronger child.
[lb2][/lb2]
Military service in the clan was required until age sixty, and privileges were based on military history and combat prowess. It was considered a necessity to learn about politics and to be knowledgeable in the history of the Lightning Country and all of it's events. Despite their military strictness, they were also taught to respect the wild life, the belief being that all living things are interconnected and related. They accept the blessing of life that surrounds them and allows them to be nourished and survive, and as such it was taught during their hunts that the death should be swift and as painless as possible and that respect should be given to the prey by using as much as the animal as possible and not to let it go to waste.
[lb2][/lb2]
Nagasuro members were kept relatively small in number, believing that resources should be spent on those that survived child birth and the strenuous training rather than become burdened by a large number of offspring. Nagasuro Kibashi was born to the clan elder and even at a young age was considered a prodigy who fully embraced every value of the clan with all it's traditions and teachings. He was considered one of the most gifted children in every subject taught but his skill with swordsmanship was an art unforeseen before. He relied on a primarily aggressive and violent form of swordsmanship that seemed reckless in nature but was notoriously difficult to defend against with a strength that was uncommon to those born in Nagasuro. He was more akin to a wild beast that relied on instinct rather than simply practice, a style both admired and feared among the elder members of the clan. His mother died shortly after childbirth, as such he was primarily raised by the clan Elder and his council. Close to his thirteenth birthday, the Elder and father of Kibashi became extremely ill with disease, being bedridden for his last few months. Before his death, a ranking official from the Kumogakure Academy's Chakra Potential Screening Service (CPSS) checked as they often did for those with the rare ability to control Chakra. For the first time in the clans longstanding history, Kibashi was detected as having the ability to control Chakra. In his last words, the Elder told Kibashi of how proud he was to father such an exceptional soldier and the first future shinobi of Nagasuro. Shortly after the screening, the Elder passed and Kibashi was transferred into the Academy as a student where he would continue his training and studies to perform his birthright to support the Lightning Country.[/td]
