NAME: Chidoku Sakuya
AGE: 24
GENDER: Male
RANK: Jounin
APPEARANCE: Sakuya is tall and fairly muscular for his thin build, though this isn't especially noticeable beneath his clothing. His hair, a pale silver, is long, and usually bound into a low ponytail, while his long bangs frame his face and fall around his eyes - a deep shade of crimson, as is traditional for one of his bloodline. His clothes have been specially modified to allow for the use of his Hari no Ame jutsu; while not differing in appearance from the clothes worn by other Konoha jounin, they are filled with hidden compartments that conceal needles.
PERSONALITY: Usually calm and fairly good-natured, Sakuya isn't one to become angered without sufficient reason. He isn't especially outgoing, but thanks to years of missions, has good relationships with quite a few of Konoha's other ninja. Around his clan, however, he is rather different: used to receiving mixed treatment, little of it normal, he prefers to shut himself away from them. He is acutely aware of the fact that he is an oddity among them, and because of that constantly strives to push himself farther and farther, wanting to surpass the high expectations set for him by some and prove the ill opinions of others wrong.
WEAPONS: Standard ninja weaponry, needles
CHAKRA ELEMENT: Water, Earth
JUTSU: Suiton - Daibakufu no Jutsu (Water - Grand Waterfall Technique) - Ninjutsu, A rank: Only effective in water. A circle of water will surround Sakuya's opponent, and then explode into a column, completely enveloping them.
Doton - Dowareme (Earth - Earth Fissure) - Ninjutsu, A rank: Sakuya will put one hand to the ground, and from that point, small cracks will rapidly spread in a fan-like motion toward his opponent. These can be controlled by chakra, so should his opponent attempt to dodge, they can be redirected to follow them. As the cracks reach their target, they quickly expand into deep fissures, making anyone within the jutsu's range fall in. Sakuya may follow this up by immediately closing the fissures, trapping anyone caught in them. He must remain stationary for the duration of the jutsu, however, as breaking his hand's contact with the ground will end it. This makes it ineffective against more than one opponent unless all of them are in front of him, or he has a teammate who can cover him.
Hari no Ame (Rain of Needles) - Ninjutsu, B rank: By cutting a hidden string, Sakuya releases fifty to a hundred needles poisoned with shiketsu from hidden compartments of his clothes, and using chakra, he sends them at his enemy.
Fukumi Hari (Hidden Needles) - Ninjutsu, C rank: Sakuya creates needles in his mouth, which he then spits at his opponent. These needles can easily be poisoned with his shiketsu.
Kai (Release) - Ninjutsu, C rank: This jutsu cancels the effects of genjutsu on the user. It cannot defend against extremely powerful genjutsu, such as what is cast by a Mangekyou Sharingan.
BLOODLINE: Chidoku - can use Dokunochi. Sakuya's shiketsu is very potent, equal to lethal belladonna poisoning, and can kill in three to five hours. Victims suffer from blurred vision, staggering, headaches, confusion, and convulsions.
After triggering shiketsu, he must take care to use it as little as possible; a single use forces him into days of recovery, with slight blurring of vision, high fever, and weakness. Further use lengthens the recovery time and makes his symptoms worse, and extended use may even make him comatose, though this has only happened once previously.
HISTORY: Born to a branch Chidoku family, Sakuya had the sort of childhood normal to a boy of a family of ninja. He began to study basic taijutsu early, and had some talent with it, and after entering the academy, managed fairly high grades. Yet despite the normalcy of his early childhood, at nine years old, something happened to prove that he was more of an oddity than anyone could have expected: he triggered dokunochi.
The first and only male to exhibit the bloodline trait, he was suddenly the subject of the attention of the entire clan. While some praised this development, expecting nothing but the best from him, others, particularly some of the older women, condemned it, seeing the long-held supremacy of women within their clan threatened.
Unhappy with both sides of it, Sakuya began to feel uncomfortable whenever he was around his clan. After successfully graduating and becoming a genin, he was grateful for any opportunity for a mission, and driven by a desire to surpass the expectations set upon him, he worked diligently to ascend the ranks. Becoming a chuunin at fourteen and a jounin at eighteen, he continually proved his talent, though regardless of what he did it wasn't good enough - for his clan or for himself.
Though he has successfully completed mission after mission as a jounin, he has been dissatisfied with his own performance for some time, thinking that he could go farther. To this effect, he has begun to consider joining ANBU, though he hasn't yet come to a decision about it.
