Name: Ikazuchi Musha
Age: Sixteen
Gender: Male
Village: Kumogakure, the Hidden Cloud Village
Rank: Chūnin
Nature Manipulation: Lightning
Rather average for his age, Ika is neither tall nor short or is he muscular or lean, just in between. His hair is black, short in the front and tied back into a ponytail. His face has a angular curve to it, making it look fierce whenever he is angry, which is hardly ever. Halfway through his teenage years and he has yet to grow any facial hair and some people find that odd. Ika bears a few scars on his body, minor ones from training but there is a jagged one on his right shoulder that he received in a battle against another ninja for the right to become a Chuunin.
He is mostly seen wearing a customized white single-strap flak jacket that has a shoulder guard attached to the strap which is unique to the Kumagakure village, a pair of white fingerless gloves, a pair of white shorts with a black sash around his waist and then special issue ninja sandals with armor-like padding attached to them that reach up his legs to his knees, kind of like boots. At all times, he has his black forehead protector with the Symbol of Kumogakure, it looks similar to clouds.
His casual clothes consist mostly of a long shirt and baggy pants, always keeping the boot-like sandals no matter the circumstance. When he is like this, his hair is undone and his headband is worn around his neck. He'll look unkempt and ragged like this but that's because he is too lazy to fix his appearance. Though he usually keeps a kunai or two up his sleeves.
In terms of equipment, Ika carries the basic ninja weapons: kunai, shuriken and explosive tags in pouches. Being an adept swordsman and prefers close quarters combat, he has in his possession a specially made ninjato and a Fuma Shuriken. The ninjato was made from special metal that can be infused through chakra flow for numerous effects. With the use of lightning based chakra, he is capable of infusing his sword with such energy to vibrate the blade to increase cutting power and cause minor electrocution and numbing on contact.
Personality: Ika is a carefree individual that believes since he is no longer a genin that he can do whatever he wants. He spent most of his life training and being serious that he thinks it's time for him to sit back and be lazy. Much to the chagrin of his elders, he is stubborn in the fact that he doesn't want to fight or not have fun but if the situation calls for it, he will fight and be all serious face.
As a carefree guy, Ika acts like he has no disregard for other people, which he sometimes doesn't. This coupled with his stubbornness leads to him not noticing that he is about to piss someone off and that can lead to trouble. At times, he can be flirtatious towards the ladies and would even do it to married or taken women which means more trouble. As a more general description, he is a fun loving guy that dislikes fighting due to his upbringing but if backed into a corner, all hell breaks loose.
Ika has the skill and training to use chakra flow proficiently as well as some basic taijutsu. Being a swordsman, he can use kenjutsu but so far has no techniques pertaining solely to that type. Aside from the basic jutsu used by Genin, his power is focused mainly upon lightning release jutsus though some have felt that his chakra is flexible so he might learn another type.
With his Kekkei Genkai, Ikazuchi is capable of taking control of another ninja's rank E lightning jutsu, deflect rank D jutsu and reduce damage of rank C jutsu. He cannot affect rank B, A or S lightning jutsu as of yet.
History: Ikazuchi was born into the Musha Clan during hard times. He originally wasn't meant to be born so early but there was trouble within the family that forced the Patriarch to lay with his wife and conceive a child. Tetsu, the head of the clan wanted an heir so should he die during the squabbles, the Musha Clan's fate was sealed. It was during these times that Ika was born, named after Tetsu's father and was granted a few years of peace.
On his sixth birthday, after a failed attack on him and his mother by third and fourth tier families, his father had him begin his training a few years early. It seemed since he came into the world early, he would begin his life early. Though young as he was, he had an innate talent for fighting, it ran in the blood. All Mushas were warriors in one way or another though the blood ran stronger in young Ikazuchi since he was of the top tier family.
Although he was starting at a young age, he was trained as if he was a year or two older. He began with the basics: strength and conditioning, building his muscles and stamina up so he could withstand the advance sets and not fall unconscious. Ika was pretty good, only took him a few tries before he understood what he had to do to grow and did just that. His father was so proud.
Graduating from the basics at age seven and a half, Ika began training with weapons, such as what each one was, what they could do and how they were used. Then after a month of weaponry study, Ika was taught how to use each weapon, the kunai and shuriken mostly. He caught on quick, failing only a few times like before then he was golden. As was customary within the Musha Clan, one could choose a primary and a secondary weapon to learn about and train with through the rest of their life. Ikazuchi chose a short bladed weapon known as a ninjato and a folding blade weapon known as a fuma shuriken. His weapons training took him roughly two years and then he was sent to the academy to become educated like the other children and learn how to use his chakra.
School life was fine for him, the lower tier families wouldn't make an attempt on young Ika's life in public so he was safe. He went to school, learned, came home, slept and went to school the next day. Since he took a break from the rigorous training his father put him through most of his life, he was able to focus on his education and become quite the average genius. Nothing too smart but not dumb either. He graduated with flying colors at the age of twelve, a year young than the other Genin but that was because he was admitted at a younger age.
Now that Ika had become trained in chakra flow and basic justus, he began his advanced training under the personal tutelage of his father, it was time he learned the Musha Clan's unique jutsus and how to use his chakra in combat. As all Tier One Mushas, Ika's chakra aligned well with lightning and so he was taught to create and manipulate lightning based chakra, something that would enhance his power and skill with bladed weaponry.
As the years passed, Ika learned most of the Twisting Jutsus, the ninjutsu unique to the Musha Clan. Ika and his father bonded well through those training sessions and spars. Though this happiness didn't last long. During a skirmish between the Tier one and three families, Tetsu became crippled, receiving a mighty blow that disrupted his chakra flow, preventing him from using it. Once he was deemed an unfit leader, the lower families pushed for him to step down and for a new family to take the reins.
This was not the case, however, Tetsu named Ikazuchi his heir, which would make young Ika next in lined to take the Clan Seat. Enraged by this, the heads of Tier three and four stepped forwards to kill Ika and his family but with the help of his two uncles, Ika repelled the assault and killed his cousin, Gaien, the late head of the tier four family. Now that his power was recognized, Ika went on to take the Chuunin exams so he could become eligible to take the Musha Clan Seat.
Having spent little time to training his mind, besides for fighting, he wasn't prepared for the written portion of the Chuunin Exams. Some of the questions he easily answered by cheating off of others' as that's what they should do but it took him awhile to realize this or rather, when he caught someone trying to spy on his. As with the survival challenge, he did exceptionally well, his two partners lagging far behind but passed nonetheless.
The fighting at the end, for the third stage was a bit difficult because Ika's father told him not to use the Nenten Waza, the Musha Clan Kekkei Genkai. It was difficult due to the fact that he had to try his best not to control another ninja's lightning jutsu, because as far as anyone knew, the Musha Clan didn't have a bloodline technique or if they did, it wasn't all that great. Young Ika was reprimanded hard for using the Nenten Bakuha on his final opponent though he was lucky that it didn't betray their Kekkei Genkai. Though overall, he did pretty well for the Chuunin Selection Examination, he was one of the few Kumogakure Genin to be promoted at that time, his former teammates didn't quite make it.

RP Sample
Breathing heavily, Ikazuchi stared down his opponent, watching with fierce determination. This fight had been going on for an hour now but they had all the time in the world. Both were down to a small amount of chakra, having blown most of it from the start...it was a dumb thing to do. Though Ika was low on chakra and siphoning what he could, sooner or later he would run out and either have to duke it out or pass out.
Oh damn myself...
His opponent, a masked man, rushed at him, his hands encased in fire. It was a bold move but also a waste of chakra, for if he missed then Ika would take the lead with more chakra. Bracing himself for a collision, Ika ducked low, sticking his arms out and slamming his palm into the man's stomach and then he rose up, lifting his opponent and throwing him up and over. The flaming genin, caught by surprise and weakened by low chakra, couldn't recover in time and crashed down upon the ground, grunting out in pain. Wasting no time, Ika focused his remaining chakra, performing multiple hand signs and punching in the downed fighter's direction, opening his fist as he did so.
"Lightning Style, Twisting Blast!"
Invoking that phrase and the release of his chakra caused a bolt of twisting lightning based energy to arc through the air and hit the ground directly next to the fighter, creating an explosion of force and debris which sent Ika's opponent spinning through the air and crashing, once again, upon the ground. He laid motionless for a few minutes before the Chuunin in charge of the match declared Ikazuchi the victor.
He strode away from the battle field wearing only the remains of his shirt and shorts as well as his boot-like sandals. It was a tough fight but he won it and now he would be promoted to the rank of Chuunin and be able to make his father proud enough to call him his heir. Now that his life of training and harshness was over, he would like to spend the rest of his life having fun since he never got to growing up.
