Yagami Shin -Pending Approval-

[shikagemaru]

Name: "Kurogane" Yagami Shin
Gender: Male
Age: 25
Height: 5 foot 10
Weight: 185 lbs
Build: Solid but hidden well under ninja gear
Eyes: Hidden behind sunglasses
Hair: Stripes of black, gray and white with scraggly bangs, countering a tightly pulled back, long pony tail, coming to a point at his mid-back.
Complexion: Lightly tanned (though he would say he's quite pale)
Rank: Jounin
Element: Wind
Clothing description: Preffers the understated approach. A simple, double-thick long black t-shirt (lined with ninja mail) underneath a gray Chuunin/Jounin type vest (though there's nothing in particular that's special about the color, he just thinks it makes him stand out and look cool.) however, there is one thing special about the vest itself; a sort of sheath-sleeve for a short sword across his lower back.

Black khaki cargo pants, (tightened and fitted for movement) an underlayer of ninja mail, (especially lining the pockets.) Wraps around his upper right thigh and lower left calf, secure kunai pouches.

His hands are covered partially with fingerless leather gloves for dexterity. His headband is lined in black cloth.

Personality: Eyebrows arched into a permanent glare (not that you could tell from his eyes) he would seem like the serious type. He certainly seems that way at first glance, but as soon as authority figures ( despite the fact that he is one ) are out of the picture, he becomes more of a joker. He's somewhat vain as well, though not to a fault. He hopes to be a target for admiration, and has lofty goals as well. One of which is to master all five elements, becoming a more powerful ninja. When it comes to responsibility and "the mission" he's completely serious, and sense of justice even stronger. His loyalty and self imposed moral code are beyond question, in his opinion.

Known abilities and Jutsus: styles of Henge and bunshin (as well as kage bunshin) jutsus, merged together to form his signature technique.
creating a low level kage bunshin of an item, then using henge to instantly transform it into a more useful object, or even simplified clones of himself, programmed to only for one job, or partially incomplete, he's able to save back chakra.
Swords, axes, grappling lines, zip lines, etc. His tool belt is rather light because of this ability.





History:

Ninja Academy: 9
Chuunin Exam: 11

For some reason, most other facts about his past are unknown, as well as family links.
(they exist, as well as a history, but they'll have to wait for approval)

[Kuro Tsuta]

Wow I like your character a lot.

[Kiri]

I honestly think this is a very well done bio. I know we prefer to have IF newbies play lower ranking shinobi, but this guy sounds neat. I'm going to say approved, but I don't know what the other mods will think.

[Sergeant Tenny]

We (namely, the ANBU and Kaori) discussed it last night, and pending the correction maybe one or two things that came up in our discussion (which we'll relay to you privately ), I'm going to put my "temporary approval" stamp on it. I like the idea, it's something truly original . I like original.

[Hatake Hiroshi]

Even though it's already got really 2 staff approvals... I'm gonna leave one anyway. I'm gonna leave a temporary approved on it, too, until you get the history finished, but other than that, it sounds good to go. Now we just have to wait for K-Sama. ^_^

[shikagemaru]

LoL cool. before this I had the highest views to comments ratio XD nice to know people seem to like him.

[Tensei Kaori]

So far, so good, as far as I'm concerned.

[shikagemaru]

Just Let me know what to do with the history.

[Hatake Hiroshi]

If you have anything written for it so far, or have any ideas, post them and we'll go over them with you. ^_^

Explanation of name, hidden history and family:

The hidden history is basically this. he gets the name Kurogane from actual legend, as well as the meaning "black eyes". After the events which will take place in Naruto, the Uchiha clan was essentially gone from the world. the closest related clan was the Hyuuga. there was a secret project amongst the Hyuuga clan to recreate the Sharingan, and make a more powerful Byakugan. volunteers arose, experiments were done. There was a small portion of the Hyuuga clan which developed a new type of eye, similar to the Sharingan but crafted from the Byakugan. it was imperfect, however, and a new segment of the clan was formed. They were considered to be below the second family, and their names were changed so as to not be associated with the Hyuuga. It was indeed a fusion of both eyes, the good and the bad of both. Whereas Hyuuga clan members have Byakugan from birth and must train their ability with it, the Uchiha may never activate it, and must develop their Sharingan levels through training, natural development and emotional stress. The new eye, known as Kurogane (also black assassin for the potential they desired it to achieve) was viewed as less than desirable and the secret experiment was locked up even tighter. Members of the Kurogane segment of the clan were "quietly" asked to not pursue the powers of their eyes. Their eyes are natural human looking until it develops, and it appears as black spirals on a background of white, with black scleras. it has the penetrating power, and analytical power of both, however the stress from using it, and the chakra drain are doubled. It's still believed that a Kurogane user could become quite powerful with enough of a chakra reserve, and enough skill.

Explanation of early Graduation and early history:


Sasuke was a genius, same with Neji, but they actually graduated pretty old in the way of geniuses. But just the same, they were trained in element manipulation before they were even Genin. Most of the academy stuff, from what is known, is simple stuff. I mean the graduation test is performing an E or D rank technique. Sasuke was already trained to perform a C rank tech. Shin was trained by members of his clan to pass early because he was pushed into ninja-hood, to prove that the Yagami clan can be fine ninjas and that there are geniuses among them. So he was trained specifically in the techniques required for graduation to Genin and Chuunin. Certain Jounin requirements involve being able to manipulate 2 elements. Naturally he was also trained in manipulating different elements before even graduating the academy.

[Tensei Kaori]

Sorry, but I can't approve this. I told you before that this falls under the "Advanced Bloodlines" rule. Until we come up with a plotline in which to resurrect the Sharingan (which may or may not happen; we haven't decided yet, but for right now it's not happening), we're not bringing it back. If you want to make a Hyuuga, you'll have to go through Ten-kun, our resident Head of Hyuuga, and only then will anything come to me for approval. It's a great idea, but it just won't work here. Sorry.

[shikagemaru]

Well, I've searched the alternatives and I've found one solution that I believe I've found a good mid-ground that would work with the rule as well as allow him to keep his history. I'll allow the good Sergeant to make his decisions on it.

[shikagemaru]

I really don't know what to do at this point. I've talked to tenny about the bloodline but no one has talked to me about whether or not he's approved. Just that I've had some good ideas. I'm beginning to think that he might never get approved.

[Tensei Kaori]

We've approved the first part of your bio, but we have no way of knowing what you've even discussed with Tenny. We can't approve something we've never even seen, after all. Why don't you PM it to me? I can look over it this evening with the staff and maybe we'll get somewhere then.
