[Rebirth][Need Help]

[Shimatsu Shigeru]

I wish to rebirth my character back into cloud. However, I no longer have access into my old profile and such. Any help so I can get this process started would be greatly appreciated.

Also, my character was in cloud when I went inactive.

 

[Shinrya Kitsune]

Name: Kagatsuchi Shisou
Age: 13
Height: 5'7"
Hair: Blonde
Eye Color: Orange-Red
Rank: Academy Student

PERSONALITY

Anger issues, bad ones, which is the first characteristic to worry about when dealing with Shisou. Yes, he has great control over his anger, but he is only a thirteen year old boy, and he is no longer under the constant pressure of his father’s tyranny. Therefore, he is a ticking time bomb, though not too much of a threat. He is not someone who can take teasing or bullying lightly.

Next, he prizes justice over all. There has to be retribution for all actions. He killed his mother, so he had to have a punishment for that; his first thirteen years was his punishment, and it may never end. So Shisou sees all things in terms of balance, and if evil and good do not balance out, he will seek to make them even. There has to be some harmony to the evils of the world, Shisou reveres that idea. The idea of ‘that is the way the world works.’

Finally, he is open to others and their opinions, despite his experiences early in life. Sometimes he is a little long winded and sometimes he is a little short, but he is willing, mostly, to give almost anyone the time of day if they seem to be a respectable person. He wants to be well rounded, but even he has shortcomings. He is scarred from his childhood, even if he is strong enough to ignore it. He can be very closed off, but that is to be expected.

Shisou is a good person, with the potential to be an evil man with great anger issues. However, everyone has the potential to become the worst they can be. Only time will tell how he shapes up.

APPEARANCE

Shisou has short blond-gold hair, and he has red-orange blazing eyes. These are his defining features. Despite being tall enough to see above a crowd, Shisou is well built for his age. He had to be with all the training that was forced upon him coupled with his own internal and external training. He is a cut, imposing figure with a curious look on his face. He yearns to know more, and he shows it in his body language. But he has the scars as well, all over his body. Small and large, they are there. They are the hidden defining features of Shisou. Without them, he wouldn't stand as tall, or smile as bright. They are his path to the future. So he wears everything he has proudly.

~Prelude~

Kagatsuchi Shisou comes from a long line of skilled poets and dreamers. Every society has at least one sect of them, and a shinobi village is no different. With their varying skillset, the artisans offset the rigid structure of the Snow Village with their own special brand of life. They branded themselves to be creators of happiness. Shisou was supposed to be born into this troupe, this merry band of brothers. However, they were the Jinsei clan, and Shisou was born under a different set of stars then them.

~Intro~

The babe was born, at the expense of the mother. It was a horrible mess. Her heart just couldn’t take it, and as her lifeblood spilled out, the new babe was cursed for its indiscretion. Though Shisou did not possess the ability to speak yet, his father cursed his name. He was the shadow of death, Shisou; the babe did not deserve the name of life, either, so his father cursed him with the name of Kagatsuchi, the destroyer god of fire. From his conception, Shisou was a hated being.

Though it was not Shisou’s fault, his father blamed him for his wife’s death. Before he had even taken his first breaths, Shisou was cursed to be a scourge to the world. Disowned by his father without even knowing it, Shisou cried as any newborn babe does, and he was carried away for post-birth operations. Such was the way of the world, life begets death, which in turn begets life again.

Those first few moments of his life were harbinger to the events of the rest of his life, so to speak. Fate is predetermined, but Destiny is to be seized. However, that is the way of the world, to be forgotten and abused with absolutely no recourse. Shisou would come to learn that.

~Legend: Onset~

Life wasn’t easy, Father made particularly sure of that. From the time he could walk, Shisou was pushed to his limits. Those were the first things he could remember. The walking was the first part. Shisou took his first step earlier than most, and that was the first thing he did right. Shinji, his father, had waited the long months for that first milestone in the boy’s life. Tentatively, Shisou did take his step, and within the month he was walking like a professional. That was when the weights came. Strapped to his legs and arms, the weights impeded the forward motion of the child. We all struggle with forward motion, Shinji thought to himself, so then why shouldn’t Shisou have as much trouble, or more, than anyone else. Why should he get to be special?

Early childhood education took on new meeting in the Jinsei ~ Kagatsuchi household. One must always get an early start in life, or else the challenges of the world may prove futile. Combat training consisted of Shisou standing still while Shinji taught him how to properly take and give blows. Shisou did most of the receiving and Shinji did most of the giving, but that was the way of the world for Shisou. It taught a child backbone to get hit and have to get back up. It taught them temperance if you did it years in a row. Shinji knew that, and he had to make sure Shisou knew that as well.

These times stuck in Shisou’s mind the most. How could his father be so cruel? What did Shisou do to deserve these beatings? When would it end? How could he make it end? The scared little boy huddled in his room, night after night, and cried himself to sleep. No one should be made to feel insignificant or worthless, but Shisou was. This was when the anger started. It was a well that had started dry. Then, all at once, the fresh water of anger began bubbling up. Shisou knew that he couldn’t hurt Shinji, he was too small, that was his father, he wasn’t supposed to hurt people. So he let the anger bubble and roil, because that was easier, easier then lashing out at the people of the village, or himself, or his father.

He wanted to be angry, in the end, but Shisou knew that anger wasn’t the answer to all the problems of the world. There was enough evidence in the very art of killing that it didn’t solve anything but to end another’s life. Life begets death, which in turn begets life. That was the way of the world that Shisou had begun to understand. So he punished himself. Not by cutting or by cursing, but he trained harder, degraded himself for being a curse on the world, and vowing to make everything, something, better in the future, a positive force so to speak. From birth he had been a curse, so a curse he would be until he could make himself a positive force.

~Legend: Extant~

Those things, and more, continued on without a break to the season. It formed Shisou into a tool. A tool of rage and muscle, Shisou did not like the rage, but it was something he was accustomed to. It was the friend when the beatings were too severe, when Shinji stopped painting and started drinking, and it was the solace when the skin was chafing. Until he was thirteen years old, those were the given norms. Shinji hated it.

So one day he hit back, hard. Shinji didn’t know where it came from, but it came. The rage fueled it, strengthened it. His fist like iron, Shisou beat back at Shinji, and quelled the drunken man’s spirit. Not too much, Shisou wasn’t malicious, instead, Shisou hit with precision and skill, like the cold blade of a surgeon’s scalpel. Just enough to write the wrong, enough to bring justice to the situation, the anger supplied this to Shisou; Shisou happily obliged.

Broken and Huddled, Shinji lay on the ground, pleading for mercy. Shisou gave him mercy, something that had been absent from his trials in the past. Even though Shisou had cried out and pleaded with Shinji, there had been no succor for him. That was the way of power, of anger, some misused it and some did not.

“I’m going to the Academy now. I need to learn to do something more than be your puppet. My life will amount to more than that. Mother would have wanted it that way, and you have defiled her memory by your actions. I will do good; because that is the way the world works.” With those last words to his broken father, Shisou turned foot and headed for his freedom.

“She is dead because of you, Shisou.” The words were mumbled and faint, but they struck the young man’s heart all the same. “You were her reaper, the one who destroyed her perfection. She had so much life left, and you stole that from her. You are cursed where you walk to bring only harm. That is what I put on you. You cannot undo that. So go Kagatsuchi Shisou, and bring your shadow of death and destruction to the rest of this village, that is all you are good for.”

The tears came quickly and silently, but Shisou did not turn around to give Shinji the satisfaction of seeing them. “Life begets death, which begets life again. That is the way of the world, or so you have taught me. Mother gave her life for me, and I will be in her debt forever. That only means that I must live for two people rather than one. I have to do the goodness of two, rather than just my one. I have to honor her memory, move on, and bring solace to the world. If I do not do that, she will have died in vain. You don’t understand that, painter. You have your head in the clouds so often; you missed the portrait being unraveled right in front of you: Me. I may be an omen of doom, but at least my doom will beget life. Thank you for showing me that my anger has to be constructive or it is just dead weight.” Shisou left then. He had already packed his bag, and Kumo wasn't a stranger to young men with big dreams.

At least he had a goal. To do good in the world. Noble, yes, but that is the way the world works…

Spoiler

A unique clan that has the odd, yet powerful ability to control and bend reality to their liking. Members of the Seikon clan are deadly opponents that seem to have abilities that simply seem to surpass all natural limits, their inhumane techniques warping reality in such away at the most opportune times for themselves...or the most deadly for their enemies.

---

Distorting Wake - Passive</U><i></i>
Seikon Clan members constantly exude a reality warping energy from their body which is similar to chakra but at the same time different. This can cause the Seikon shinobi to appear as if they are multiple places at once and make their movements difficult to predict thanks to shadows and optical tricks that their presence generates.

Rank 1: +1 Dodge
Rank 2: +2 Dodge
Rank 3: +3 Dodge

---

Unreal Celerity - Passive<i></i>
Most Seikon are masters of speed and grace but for reasons that no-one seems to understand, sometimes not even the Seikon. In truth, their unnatural speed comes from the fact that many are unconsciously willing themselves to overcome the limits that reality sets on what a human being can and cannot do.

Rank 1: The Seikon can choose to prioritize up to 1 AP's worth of actions to gain priority over all other actions in that round. Jutsu gets -3 Accuracy (or Genjutsu DC if a Genjutsu is used).
Rank 2: The Seikon can choose to prioritize up to 1.5 AP's worth of actions to gain priority over all other actions in that round. Jutsu gets -2.5 Accuracy (or Genjutsu DC if a Genjutsu is used).
Rank 3: The Seikon can choose to prioritize up to 2 AP's worth of actions to gain priority over all other actions in that round. Jutsus gets -2 Accuracy (Or Genjutsu DC if a Genjutsu is used).

Notes:
- In the result that the Seikon's action and the opponent's action both have priority over all other actions, they resolve in normal AP stack fashion in regards to each other.

----

Sunder Reality - Activated Passive<i></i>
One of the most notorious abilities of the Seikon clan is the ability to generate an energy weapon forged from the very stuff that reality is glued together with. This causes their attacks with these weapons to be supernaturally potent against forms of resistance and protection.

Rank 1: Unarmed Damage is increased by +10 Base Damage.
Rank 2: Unarmed Damage is increased by +15 Base Damage, and ignores 5% Â worth of Damage Reduction.
Rank 3: Unarmed Damage is increased by +20 Base Damage, and ignores 10% Â worth of Damage Reduction.

Cost: 1 AP to initiate, 300 CP/round.

Notes:
- Sunder Reality causes the Seikon to be considered armed for the purposes of determining what jutsu they can wield while it is active. This bonus stacks only with unarmed weapon Buffs, and all damage is treated as Slashing.
- They gain access to Sword, Giant Blade, and Claw Taijutsu/Styles but lose access to all Unarmed Taijutsu and Styles.
- The user only receives unarmed Buffs to these attacks.
- This only applies to Unarmed weapons; -not- weapons that are treated as unarmed through other effects. Additionally, this overwrites any other base damage increase applied to these actions

---

Quicksilver Step - Space/Time Technique<i></i>
Taking their ability to ignore the boundaries of what is possible and impossible to the literal translation, the Seikon member steps through reality itself and appears somewhere else to strike while avoiding attacks with ease.

Rank 1: The user warps next to one opponent within 10 feet. The user's next melee attack gains +1 Accuracy, and has a 5% chance of being treated as a Sneak Attack.
Rank 2: The user warps next to one opponent within 20 feet. The user's next melee attack gains +1.5 Accuracy, and has a 10% chance of being treated as a Sneak Attack.
Rank 3: The user warps next to one opponent within 30 feet. The user's next melee attack gains +2 Accuracy, and has a 15% chance of being treated as a Sneak Attack.

Special Action: For 1 Ap, quicksilver step may be used in the same way as Body Switch. This may only be done once per round, and the user gains all penalties associated with it. This is an activated Auto-dodge.

Cost:
Rank 1: 1 AP, 200 Cp
Rank 2: 1 AP, 250 Cp
Rank 3: 1 AP, 300 Cp

Notes:
- This is modded as if instantaneous and may be used reflexively.
- Accuracy and Sneak attack bonus only apply to the user if their next action is a melee attack, otherwise they lose their buff.
- If used while in Stealth mode, this allows the Seikon to use a Melee Sneak attack without suffering a stealth penalty to their attack.
- If used while in Stealth mode, this allows the Seikon to use a Melee Sneak Attack and remain in stealth. This only applies to the first Melee Attack made after using Quicksilver Step.
- The user may only remain in stealth as a result of using this jutsu once per round.

---

Destruction Pulse - Offensive Area Ninjutsu</B><i></i>
Focusing for a moment on their control of reality and energy, the Seikon releases a forceful pulse that temporarily destabilizes the very atomic structure of those caught in its path causing both extreme disorientation and pain.

Rank 1: Destabilizes reality within a 12x12 area. All targets struck by Destruction Pulse take 910 Damage at +1 Accuracy, and suffer -.5 Accuracy and Dodge penalty for 2 rounds.
Rank 2: Destabilizes reality within a 16x16 area. All targets struck by Destruction Pulse take 1370 Damage at +1.5 Accuracy, and suffer -1 Accuracy and Dodge penalty for 2 rounds.
Rank 3: Destabilizes reality within a 20x20 area. All targets struck by Destruction Pulse take 1780 Damage at +2 Accuracy, and suffer -1.5 Accuracy and Dodge penalty for 2 rounds.

Costs:
Rank 1: 2 AP, 350 Cp
Rank 2: 2 AP, 500 Cp
Rank 3: 2 AP, 600 Cp

Notes:
- This Jutsu may Automatically target two separate Targets.
- This Jutsu may be buffed by physical damage buffs. This does not receive any weapon-specific damage buffs, such as styles.
- Accuracy and Dodge penalties do not stack.

---

Soulsword Overdrive - Activated Passive
Taking their reality bending abilities further, this skill supercharges the Seikon's energy weapon into a bright arc of vivid light, condensed with the essence of reality and flowing with energy that's lethal power is only barely controlled by the Seikon.

Rank 1: Sunder Reality's effects increased by an additional +10.
Rank 2: Sunder Reality's effects increased by an additional +15 and ignoring an additional 5% of Damage Reduction.
Rank 3: Sunder Reality's effects increased by an additional +20 and ignoring an additional 10% of Damage Reduction.

Cost: .5 Ap to initiate. Sunder Reality's Costs are increased by +50%.

Notes:
- Lasts up to 2 rounds.
- Requires Sunder Reality to have been active for 1 round prior to activation.
- All rules that apply to Sunder Reality apply to Soulsword Overdrive

---

Quicksilver Pursuit - Warping Taijutsu<i></i>
Utilizing their unique skill to step through reality, this technique utilizes the same tactic of attack as Quicksilver Step. The Seikon steps entirely outside the boundaries of the human limits, warping to the position of their target and decimating them with a quick, nearly simultaneous strike to their opponent.

Rank 1: The user warps and strikes the opponent twice, each strike dealing 370% Damage at +1 Accuracy.
Rank 2: The user warps and strikes the opponent twice, each strike dealing 385% Damage at +1.5 Accuracy.
Rank 3: The user warps and strikes the opponent twice, each strike dealing 385% Damage at +2 Accuracy.

Costs: 1.5 AP, 700 CP

Notes:
- Quicksilver Pursuit cannot be negated through Auto-Dodge.
- Should the target attempt to Body switch this technique, the Seikon reappears nearby them and gains +1 Accuracy against them.

---

<U>Synchronized Multipresence - Special Fighting Style
It is said that Seikon clan members are omnipresent; that they are everywhere at once when they choose to be. This is only partly true, as the Seikon have the ability to overcharge themselves with their reality bending energies, releasing it in such a way that seems to distort the reality around them. This creates multiple "clones" of themselves, afterimages created by their energy that appear and fade at random moments nearby around them.

Rank 1: +1 Dodge. The first attack used after dodging an attack with Body Switch has a 50% chance to be considered a sneak attack.
Rank 2: +1.5 Dodge. The first attack used after dodging an attack with Body Switch has a 60% chance to be considered a sneak attack.
Rank 3: +2 Dodge. The first attack used after dodging an attack with Body Switch has a 70% chance to be considered a sneak attack.

Cost: 2 Ap, 620 Cp to initiate, 300 Cp/Rnd.

Notes:
- This is treated as if it were a physical fighting style.
- The user exhausts at an above average rate.
- While this is active, the user may use Body Switch without Kawarimi/Clones, and instead substitute with an "After-Image". All Normal body switch rules and limits apply.

---

<B>Transpositional Flurry - Warp Combo Taijutsu<i></i>
Who's to say that the Seikon's abilities are limited to a single strike? This technique utilizes the Seikon's powers to vanish and reappear nearby an opponent, striking them from a random direction before warping at blinding speed to another position for another strike, repeating this process multiple times and causing the victim to feel as if they are being surrounded by multiple foes.

Rank 1: The user warps and strikes their target, repeating this process 4 times. Each hit deals 270% damage.
Rank 2: The user warps and strikes their target, repeating this process 5 times. Each hit deals 270% damage at +1 Accuracy.
Rank 3: The user warps and strikes their target, repeating this process 6 times. Each hit deals 270% damage at +2 Accuracy.

Cost: 2 Ap, 700 Cp

Notes:
- Only 4 hit's may hit a single target.
- Attacks may be Called Shots.

---

Obliterate Reality - Microscopic Alteration Ninjutsu<i></i>
perhaps the most lethal skill that can be done by a Seikon, this technique focuses the attention the Seikon upon a single hapless target, and condenses their reality warping energy to literally shatter a portion of the victim's atomic structure. This skill cannot be seen as it takes effect on an microscopic level, though this causes catastrophic pain and suffering upon the unfortunate target as it destroys their very being from it's base.

Rank 1: Warps the atomic structure of a target, dealing 3170 Damage at +2 Accuracy. This damage cannot be reduced or blocked by any effect and immediately cancels any Damage Reduction/Barrier effects that the target may have enabled.
Rank 2: Warps the atomic structure of a target, dealing 3560 Damage at +2 Accuracy. This damage cannot be reduced or blocked by any effect and immediately cancels any Damage Reduction/Barrier effects that the target may have enabled.
Rank 3: Warps the atomic structure of a target, dealing 3960 Damage at +2 Accuracy. This damage cannot be reduced or blocked by any effect and immediately cancels any Damage Reduction/Barrier effects that the target may have enabled.

Costs:
Rank 1: 3 Ap, 1760 CP
Rank 2: 3 Ap, 1980 CP
Rank 3: 3 Ap, 2200 CP

Notes:
- This Jutsu may be buffed by physical damage buffs. This does not receive any weapon-specific damage buffs, such as styles.

 

[Shimatsu Shigeru]

Since my previous character was a student, but with no jutsu and with stats. What is an appropriate level for me to rebirth as. Student or genin? I just want to make sure before I draft some powerful child

 

[Shinrya Kitsune]

Your stats say Chuunin. Your lack of jutsus say Student (Seeing as it's an IC requirement to be Genin to have one jutsu of each type mastered.) So maybe Genin is fine? It's really more the area of our dear Main Branch Sennin, Kogami Ayumu.

 

[Shimatsu Shigeru]

Wow you are fast!!

I will draft a younger character then, that could pass for an older academy student to a young chuunin, and I will wait for Ayumu's final say

 

[Kogami Ayumu]

Your options for IC rank when rebirthing depends on your OOC rank. I couldn't tell you what your OOC rank is right now, though. Technically without any mastered jutsu you're not supposed to be able to go above E-rank, but that would put your stat caps at 50. Clearly your stats are way higher than that though. I'm going to throw this back into Council's court as to how to determine your OOC rank. I assume this would mean you need to convert some stats into mastered jutsu to meet the requirements for a higher OOC rank more appropriate for your power level.

As far as IC rank goes, as I said it depends on OOC rank. Genin must be at least D-rank. Chuunin at least B-rank. Jounin at least A-rank.
C-B ranks must be AT LEAST a Genin, A-S rank must be AT LEAST Chuunin.

 

[Shinrya Kitsune]

Well. I see a character voucher was filled out, but Shisou never received any stats or anything from the old site. So that leaves us in a position where he technically gets the new offer (2100 ASP and 75000 Yen)

 

[Shimatsu Shigeru]

Awesome, I will take it.

Now what can I use it for stat-wise. Or does that factor in now? In short, is this like starting over fresh? Sorry for all the questions.

 

[Shinrya Kitsune]

It means I'm gonna be tossing 75000 yen at your face, and you'll be allocating 2100 points to stats, and Jutsu masteries. This means you can technically end up being A-rank, if you only master the bare minimum.

So yeah! Allocate your 2100 points. Buy the jutsus you want and post here when you've allocated and bought.

General Description:
Shigeru is of moderate build. He stands at the ever so average 5’9”, with plenty of lean muscle covering his body. He is a pretty man with prominent cheek bones and a chiseled figure that many men chase after. He has short cropped hair, dark in nature, sometimes looking black and at others dark brown. Shigeru carries himself proudly; he walks with his head held high, his gait calm and sure. Shigeru is most notably known for his booming laughter, which he releases whenever the moment arises. Shigeru’s chakra is thick and hot, just like his personality, manifesting itself as higher body temperature, since Shigeru does not have complete control over his powers. Walking through the streets of Kumogakure, the snow appears to melt off of him, sometimes to the point where steam hisses off his exposed body parts.
Shigeru never stops going, acts like a firecracker all the time, but never truly stops moving. He is an animated and happy person. Shigeru is very emotional, his love for fire is reflective in his personality. He is passionate in all things, and he wears his emotions on his sleeve, though he doesn't wear those often. When he is angry, he flames, and when he is gloomy, he wanes. However, Shigeru is not insane, he is just passionate. He belongs to that rare group of 'artsy' types that just feels more than your average man.
History:
Shimatsu Shigeru is a man of humble beginnings. His small family consisted of one mother, one father, two brothers and a sister, of which Shigeru was the runt. Home life was nothing to really write about. Growing up, his father, Shimeru, was some kind of clergyman, Shigeru was not interested in the exact details, and he brought home a respectable wage. The family, as such, lived in Kumogakure proper, in a district near to Market. Mother, Kiyoki, stayed home and tended to the family, though she was a respectable seamstress, her woven cloths being the reason her and Shimeru had met. She was a good mother, a quick tongue kept the children in line, while her compassion kept them human.
The older boys, nearly twins, Hio and Togeru joined the Kumogakure Shinobi Academy at the age of 8, a young Shigeru watched them go with awestruck wonder. The boys soared through their classes, bringing home not only good grades but many stories of bravery. Every day Shigeru would wait on them with baited his, his small doe eyes would grow ten sizes larger, and he began to dream of his own future in the academy.
Shigeru’s sister was next. Her schooling consisted of letters and numbers, and the stories she brought home only heightened Shigeru’s need to become a shinobi like his older brothers. However, one day she did bring home something back. It was a simple lute, but the music that it could produce brought a smile to Shigeru’s face. Her fingers, though clumsy, danced on the strings, and Shigeru began to fantasize about making beautiful music.
Then it came time for Shigeru to realize his schooling fate. He pleaded with his parents for a simple life of a musician, and they assented. They already had two warrior sons, and even though their bloodline was strong with chakra, the Shimatsus let their son become an artist, with the stipulation that Shigeru had to take some basic classes at the academy to not become a danger to himself and those around him.
So Shigeru’s life began for real. He learned the art of music, specializing in vocals accompanied by the small lute, and he took a few classes to learn and dwarf and control his especially large chakra pool. The academy schooling was a distraction, but one teacher did instruct Shigeru in the way of bolstering his singing voice with his chakra. Shigeru, through rigorous training and chakra, learned how to make his singing voice ring out loud and clear. Shigeru quickly rose to small fame among the locals of Kumogakure. He played weekly at local taverns and eateries, and people were moved by his music.
All was looking up for Shigeru, and it would have continued had he been an only child. Life, however, was not that kind. One day, while he was at the age of 15, Shigeru was sitting in the common room of the Shimatsu residence, his parents cooking up a family meal as they did most days. A knock came at the door, and Shigeru went to answer it. Behind it was a simply garbed man, plain grey and featureless. His face was flat, and he brought with him only death. The news came fast, Hio and Togeru were dead. No, they could not divulge any details about the death. Yes, they were heroes. Yes, they would be remembered. No, you could not see the bodies. No, you may not inquire further. Then he was gone, but the death stayed behind to haunt the family forever.
Shigeru felt emotions that were not happy that day. He had felt pain and heartbreak before, but it had never been this complete. His mind and body reached out for something to keep them sane, and they found the lute once more. The song that came out of him was one of utter despair, and that song of pain and suffering filled the streets as Shigeru wandered the icy plane of Kumogakure, his anger building and his emotions unbalancing. All his practice at infusing chakra into his singing came out, only building the sound of his song, which drew attention of all those around him.
Soon, Shigeru was stopped by that same shinobi who had brought death to his house. With a gesture, the ground trembled slightly under Shigeru's feet, a thinly veiled threat and a promise of power. The act shocked Shigeru out of his despairing stupor. He apologized profusely, promising to never act in such a way again. It was unbecoming of a man to let his emotions rule him. The shinobi offered no peaceful words, just a suggestion, honor the memory of his brothers by taking their place in the ranks of the warriors.
The thought had never occurred to him before, but after careful pondering the notion did make sense. Though he could never replace two with just one, even a single addition could honor the memory of his brothers, so full of life and hope. They wanted nothing more than to protect the village with their lives, but should their sacrifice mean the end of that dream? Looking at his lute, Shigeru knew that his life could amount to more, and he cast aside the instrument. Walking immediately to the nearby academy, he enrolled himself permanently.
The academy days went by quickly, since Shigeru had already taken most of the basic courses. Age seemed to be the defining factor in some of the more physically intensive classes, but because of his age, Shigeru had little problem really passing them. His ascension to Genin came quickly, and he took his new role and ran with it, wishing to get to a true position inside the village. Shigeru rarely complained, and did his work with a smile on his face, a song springing quickly to his lips even on the tough days.
The village recognized this hard work and determination, even from someone who started so late, and gave him more responsibility quickly. This only made Shigeru work harder, taking on harder missions and doing more to aide the village. This brought about his Chuunin exam, which was a test of skill and tactics rather than power. Shigeru's quick, bright mind gave him the upper edge, and he aced the exam almost unscathed, both in pride and body. With his new appointment, Shigeru took a slower role, he knew that he needed more knowledge before continuing on the true path of the shinobi.
Delving into studies at the Great Library of Kumogakure, Shigeru struggled to control his growing strength. His problem, as it had always been, was focus. The primary element that Shigeru clung onto was Fire. It came easily to him, because fire was fueled by passion, which Shigeru had in spades. He could explode at a moment's notice, blazing a bright banner in front of him, but rarely could he focus the flame into a point, as he had been shown by many stronger shinobi. Training consumed his time, and Shigeru fell a little from the limelight of the village, not pushing to be at the forefront anymore. Though he was growing stronger, he was giving up his calling, honoring his brothers' memory. Putting down the books, Shigeru once again decided it was time to push for the next stage.
Core Ability: Pyromaniac
Shortly after his entrance into the Academy the second time, Shigeru had a short class about elemental affinities and how some shinobi could bend their chakra into the very elements that make up everything. Shigeru was, of course, intrigued by this notion, questioning further about how one goes about finding which element chakras were attuned to. The teacher passed out small sheets of paper to everyone and asked them to release a bit of chakra into the paper. When they did, Shigeru's paper instantly burst into flame, burning out quickly. His question was answered.
Shigeru went to another teacher later who was teaching them some basic ninjutsu, where Shigeru asked if they could learn to channel fire. The instructor hesitated, but decided to try and teach the simple fireball technique. Watching the man with rapt attention, Shigeru studied the hand signals, taking it to heart. When it came time, Shigeru funneled his chakra into the jutsu, but being inexperienced, he overcharged the jutsu and ended up laying on the ground, scorched. Instead of being dismayed, Shigeru burst out laughing, his voice booming out into the training grounds. Making the fire felt like making a melody, he had just made a bad one. He got up and tried again, this time singing the fire into existence, blowing a large fireball out into the world. The feeling was pure ecstasy.
To say this indulgence into the flame was just a passing interest would bring shame to the true obsession that Shigeru developed with the flames. It was the perfect balance of chaos and beauty, mirroring his love for music. Pairing the perfect harmony with a melody was like creating a beautiful flame from his chakra. Though it blew up often, Shigeru only seemed to enjoy this pain. After intense training, his body was covered in small burns, and the hospital became well acquainted with the young Shigetsu. Essentially, Shigeru was trading the pain of creating a flat musical score with the pain of exploding his own chakra in close proximity to his body; he saw no problem with this.
As he got older, he used this obsession with the flames to achieve success in many of his missions. Many a time, while threatening opponents, Shigeru would just explode, lighting everything around him in flames just to scare opposing combatants, which was normally a winning tactic. This is not to say that Shigeru was insane, he just had embraced the wild nature of fire, as it perfectly represented him. He was a fiery person with a strong passion to match, why then should he dull himself? Would the greatest musician stop making music simply because critics did not agree with the results? Shigeru applied this philosophy to how he tackled every problem, over the top and without restraint. It did not always make him a favorite, but he was always noticed. He substituted the power of restraint for the flash and flare of overwhelming force, because Shigeru wanted nothing more than to be one with the fire he embraced. [/quote]

Hope I did all of this right and that I can be a Chuunin. Tell me if anything is off or if I need to adjust to a higher IC rank

Edit:

I did not have enough yen to buy all the jutsu. I won't change the list till some higher up posts, but I will note the changes here:

Not bought:
Chakra Blast
Rasengan
Big Bang Flash

This gives me 39 points to allocate:

Ninjutsu: 364/525 -> 383/525
Chakra Control: 363/525 -> 383/525
