Muramatsa, Koji
Zombieman

BASIC INFORMATION

NAME: Muramatsa, Koji
AGE: 17
GENDER: Male
BIRTHDAY: 14 Apr
VILLAGE: Iwagakure
CLAN: Muramatsa Clan
RANK: Advanced Genin
POSITION: Team 7 Genin
OTHER ALIAS: Zombieman -Mostly called this by the other genin in his squad do to his work ethic. He never seems to quit training.


APPEARANCE

HEIGHT: 5'9 | 175cm
WEIGHT: 160lb | 72.5kg

At first glance, Koji would strike someone as a charming and handsome young man, his near perfectly angular face gives him a young yet mature look, which only adds to his smile and pearly white, but slightly sharpened, teeth. He has a slightly long but straight nose that matches the angular effect set by his jawline and chin. His face is completely free of all blemishes or scars, showing only smooth and soft flesh on his well-framed face, though despite this, Koji has a slightly pale complexion that catches the light in interesting ways.

His eyes are a bright and deeply colored sapphire blue, each always lit up by the light around him in a way that makes his eyes dance and shimmer that add to the kind and charming effect given off by the rest of his face. If one were to really stare deep into Koji's eyes, the shining reflection and handsome appearance will fall away, revealing a cold and harsh look behind the animated mask set by his seemingly "nice" features.

Koji's hair is a brash red, its color changing slightly lighter during the summer and darker to a degree during the winter seasons. Though always Koji has it cut to mid-length, there it stays in this cut fashion. Although Koji never tends to his hair in any way, it somehow always spikes itself in a neat pattern on the tops and sides, leaving the sideburns, bangs, and back to straighten out and even more neatly frame his cheeks and face. The handsome face of Koji's features, to those who know him, are all too misleading, as Koji's true personality is nothing like what his handsome smile and sparkling eyes may lead many to believe.

Koji has even set and firm shoulders, the slightly pale skin if bare, revealing a cut and strong set of muscles that hint at his training with swords and weapons. Following along his arms, the rest of Koji follows suit on his shoulders, his muscles strong and toned, more pronounced around the forearms than the rest of his arms, all attributed to his focus on his physical. If one pays attention, one can see Koji's veins slightly bulging out when his arms flex and move during battle or his periodic training sessions, although they are by no means highly accentuated on his skin, which is a sure sign of overbuilding of the body's muscles.

Koji's chest, like the rest of his body, has no scars or other blemishes that would hide or affect his pale but smooth flesh. His pecks are slightly firm, as well as his sides, and his abdomen, which shows a lightly cut six-pack. Though like his arms, Koji's torso and chest are almost always covered by some type of clothing, blocking any view one might have.


PERSONALITY

NINDO: "Whoever turns to greater power than himself to settle a personal dispute is either a fool or a coward. If he can not function without that support then he is both. For if you attack me and leave me alive, I will kill you. But if you kill me then all is forgiven. I expect the same in return for that is ninja way"

He is calm for the most part, but when openly criticized for no reason, he tends to get icy. First and foremost he has a dedication to his mission. He doesn’t go out of his way to alienate people, but his detached nature has led to more than a fair share of people questioning his loyalties. He’s been known to flat-out ignore people that have been talking to him while busy remembering the details of a mission at hand. He never means for it to happen, he just spaces out while attempting to focus on just one thing at a time.

When asked about his village, he remains silent with a small grin on his face. He has a great sense of duty to his village and fellow ninja, punishing himself the most when he fails them. Their well-being is a constant pull on his mind, and when faced with a group mission, he is always ready to pull a support role. He tends to back down from the others around him unless he finds that he is the right person for the job, in which case he steps forward as needed. He is always courteous, never intentionally putting his fellows down.

That being said, he also has a darker side. His temper has a long fuse, but high volatility, sometimes landing him in hot water. He also gains a thrill from unexpected tests and challenges, such as surprise sparring matches or even surprise attacks. When he first started his duties as a shinobi he had issues killing rivals, but soon paid for his mistake with the death of a comrade. This in turn caused his first drop into his darker mood, and he constantly feels repentant for his error.


HISTORY

childhood
Koji always looked up to and admired the shinobi of the village. He found himself dreaming all the time of one day wearing the band, going on missions, and helping those in need. He was starry-eyed and determined to make it a reality, and quickly enrolled himself in the academy at the youngest age possible. There he quickly found himself attracted to the practices of Fuinjutsu and Bukijutsu; however, his natural talent seemed to lie in generalized Fuinjutsu more than the impressive power of overcoming physically. He spent several hours a day poring over the technique and practicing until the late hours of the night. Several of his classmates could identify him by the dark circles around his eyes caused by his lack of sleep. This in turn earned him his nickname of Zombieman.

He never really made many friends due to his dutiful study. He always figured that there was no time to stop and make friends, and he always told himself he’d be able to do that later. In return, he was usually picked on as a teacher’s pet and sometimes was beaten for it. He grimaced and bore the pain, telling himself that it was further training toward being a ninja. What better training than learning to resist pain?

When the time came to graduate he was very near the top of the class, having the compliments of several teachers. He was considered a great asset to the ninja clan, which in turn made him smile. This however did not compare to the amount of sheer determination he set into his missions. He had been warned several times by his superiors that he put a little too much energy into everything he did and in turn, it would soon burn him out.

Genin
He grew a little disquieted with his current setting. He’d been a Genin for a couple of years, and it’s worn on his nerves. He had shown dedication many times over, and couldn’t understand why he has yet to be promoted. As such, he threw even more energy into his missions, developing his attitude toward finishing the mission. This however ended in a disastrous awakening of a side of his personality that even he was unaware existed.

On a mission to recover some information, he was forced to fight another ninja. This was his first fight and understandably he was nervous, however in the end he somehow bested his opponent. He knew he should kill the pursuer so that he could complete his mission, but something gave him pause. It was at this moment that the enemy used to his advantage and threw several shuriken to incapacitate Koji. His partner, sensing the danger, jumped in front of the shuriken and almost instantly fell to his death.

This in turn made something within Koji snap. His eyes took on a cold gleam and his hand tightened around the shuriken in his hand. He threw the blade, manipulating it with bukijutsu and piercing the enemy straight in the heart. This however did not stop the enraged ninja who then pulled the shuriken free and pierced a kidney, then a lung, then between the eyes. His remaining partner had to bodily subdue him to stop the onslaught of shuriken mutilation, which brought Koji back to his senses. Seeing what he had done the Genin swore to himself that he would always bear the weight of the sin that cost his partner his life.

Now
Koji’s attitude had been tempered by both getting the mission completed and keeping his partners alive. He took to the background of his missions, supporting his fellows more often than taking to the limelight. As such, he has yet to climb in rank, which has served as a source of frustration for the ninja. He kept to himself, often visiting the ramen shop and finding secluded areas to further train himself. He had yet to make any friends in his line of work, preferring not to get that attached to his team ever again.



FIGHTING STYLE

From a very young age, Koji has been practicing the art of Bukijutsu. So exclusively in fact that he is nigh inept at the other aspects of shinobi training. Barely capable of performing ninjutsu beyond the academy level, Koji relies completely on his vast knowledge of weapons and his skill with just about anyone currently in his grasp. Capable of wielding weapons of every range category and of almost any make, he is capable of engaging foes at any range with a wide variety of attacks.

When fighting, he prefers to start off with long-range attacks, often with poison-coated kunai and shuriken to get an early grasp on his opponent's techniques and equip himself appropriately for what would be next to come. For example, should the opponent fall back after the initial kunai attack, Koji would equip himself with throwing weapons and engage them with superior accuracy. If they tried to close the gap, he will swap out for one of his many close-range combat weapons where he feels most comfortable.

However, his favorite combat weapon by far would be the use of a fuinjutsu. A style extremely rare in the shinobi world as seals are often scoffed at and deemed useless. However, for Koji it provides excellent protection against many attacks while opening up new opportunities via traps, poison, and explosions while simultaneously protecting him from the enemy.

General Information:
Profile - You'll want to make sure you match your profile name to the character's name. Let me know if you need help with this.

Images - It seems that your application header is a different character from your face claim, and your icon and your hover are the same image. For every character you need at least three distinct images of your faceclaim. If you're having difficulties finding any, try hitting up #face-claim-help in the server, or reaching out to a staff member. We can help you look for more Nobunaga art!

Clan - Please link your clan

Alias - Please describe how he got this alias and who calls him this. People often use identifiers like [Village], or [Family], or [Friends] to notate what groups of people would know him as Zombieman, and then go on to describe why. You touched on this in his history, so you can scoot it up here as well! It's a good quick-reference for other site members.

Appearance:
Height/Weight: Please also list cms for height and kgs for weight alongside the units you've already used!

The description given here in the appearance section doesn't really reflect the faceclaim you've chosen. Similarly to what I've stated above, if you're having difficulty finding faceclaims that match your description here, you should reach out on #face-claim-help in the server, or reach out to a mod to help you look. Otherwise, you should rewrite this section to make the appearance more closely match Nobunaga.

History:
You've got a very good history here, but there's a big element you're missing out on. In 1016 (so when Koji would've been 11), Iwagakure went through a major Civil War. This probably would've been when he was in the academy, or when he first became a genin. You should talk a bit about how this impacted his career and his life in general. If you need more information about this period, you can find it in Iwagakure's History

Chakra Affinities:
As an advanced genin, you can have access to one chakra affinity - in this case this would be Katon. If you would like to utilize the Raiton technique listed in your jutsu below, you should probably switch your natural chakra to Raiton and pick up Raiton as your one affinity. You can purchase additional affinities later with exp, or earn them on rank-up!

Inventory:
Make sure you link Sleeping Dart and Poison Dart! You'll want to make certain you also have a blowgun listed in your inventory to make use of these items, unless you intend to throw them. You also mention bows and poison-coated kunai in his fighting-style, but don't have any of these items in your inventory. Do you want to add bow-and-arrows and some universal poison? Itamidoku [Pain Poison] is a universal C-rank poison that can be used to coat weapons, so may be worthwhile to pick up.

Special Abilities:
Speed SA - I see here that you've quoted directly from the SA Examples Thread. That's a good place to start, but you should give us a little more personal flavor for Koji. You're enhancing his speed specifically, so you don't need the mentions of endurance, strength, flexibility, etc. Give us an idea of how and why he trained his speed and what it does for him!

Poisons/Toxins SA - Same thing here. You don't need the bit that says "While those with specializations in Puppetry or Medical Ninjutsu are naturally able to carry said poisons, one outside of these Specs must utilize an SA to have them in their inventory." And give us a little personal flavor on Koji's personality!

Jutsu:
A few notes here:
-You only have 6 E-C-rank jutsu! An advanced genin is allowed 7 E-C-rank jutsu and 1 B-rank.
-You're also missing your Fuuinjutsu specialist bonus.

This means you can add two more jutsu to your list!

Thank you for making these edits! Performing a second pass -

Images - It seems like your header image still doesn't quite fill out the space. You want an image that doesn't leave any blank space on the sides. You'll want an image that's at least 400x200 pixels, and images with a 2:1 ratio will always look better. It seems like there are many good images of Zora online that fit this bill, so let me know if you need help finding any.

Alias - It seems like you've just deleted the Alias instead of describing it here. You'll probably want to add Zombieman and the description of the nickname in. This is for the benefit of people you're playing with - it's important for everyone to know if there's a nickname they'd know your character by!

Inventory - Just letting you know that Nemuke Doku isn't a particularly effective poison when used to coat weapons. Not an actual edit, as you're allowed to do what you like as far as taking this poison, but wanted to provide a warning, as that is part of the poison's description.

Quick SA note - Now that I know you're a member of the Muramasta clan instead of the Muramasa clan, I wanted to let you know that in order to utilize the clan's Hijutsu, you'll want to have the clan SA. This is an SA that is developed/placed onto a character at birth, so you'll want your character to have it on creation if you're going to utilize it, otherwise Koji won't be capable of utilizing it later.

Jutsu - Looks like you added one too many. You should have a total of 9, and you have a total of 10.

On history, I will allow the next reviewer to assess as well.

Mostly looking good now! small final notes before I can give my approval -

You've spelled it Muramasta on your profile/application, but the correct spelling is Muramatsa. Might want to update that!

Additionally, for the clan SA you've used the generic SA example thread again. You'll want to get a little more specific with the clan SA, and can find information about the dojutu's ability on the clan application that you have linked for easy reference! Even something as simple as "Koji has access to his clan's dojutsu, the art eye, allowing him to fire off fuinjutsu by his eye utilizing katon, and giving him an encyclopedic knowledge of fuuinjutsu up to one rank above his own" can be a helpful starting place!

Thank you for the edit. Unfortunately, the clan's base hijutsu needs its own SA - a prodigy SA is something you would need to develop at a later date through SA training and acquisition. Additionally, we typically don't allow lowered chakra costs for whole hosts of techniques.

Here's a link to one of my own character sheets with a clan SA and then a later clan enhancement SA to give you an example/idea of how it usually works.

Hi Amon, thank you for the update. Let us know if you need any help with this character rework. As this is a fairly large adjustment and may take a while, I'm going to temporarily take this out of notify staff. Please repost in notify staff when your edits are complete and the character is ready to be looked at again!
