Strythio Kurama
Age: 20
Height: 6’0 (feet)
Weight: 186 (pounds)
Appearance: Strythio is often seen in completely different clothing, depending on his objective. He has short and curly brown hair and brown eyes. His face is somewhat oval shaped, his face generally well shaven. He has a dark skin tone and ears that, were all else about his head covered, would stick out considerably due to their size and general "alert" status.
He has a slim, mildly muscular build, though most of that muscle is used for movement rather than for physical attacks. Depending on the mission he can be seen wearing a wide variety of different attire, though he generally is lightly armored. As a Kumo shinobi, he can generally be seen with a katana strapped to his back, and wears the general Kumogakure shinobi gear while in Kumogakure.
A black Kumo headband he and a Kumo flak jacket (with the shoulder portion over his left shoulder) with chainmail armor underneath he proudly wears while in Kumogakure. He also wears a long-sleeved shirt, tan in color, that matches his tan pants. His Kumo shin guards are also tan in color, reflecting the blended nature of his appearance and style. Strythio also wears tan combat gloves, with grips on the palm portion that make it easier for the man to maintain his grip when he doesn't want to reveal himself using chakra. These gloves are midnight blue in coloration, breaking the general color scheme of Strythio's attire.
Village of Origin: Kumogakure
Rank: Tokubetsu Jounin
Chakra Affinity: Yin Release
Special Abilities: Shingan (Mind’s Eye)
The Mind’ eye of the Kurama Clan grants them an increased ability to use and counter genjutsu. While it is not a dojutsu of the strictest senses, it does utilize the “mind’s eye” This Kekkai Genkai enhances the user’s genjutsu prowess to the point in which they may cast genjutsu directly through their respective senses, such as touch, sight, taste, etc. They are also able to affect special sensory type ninja via their chakra sensory.
.
Extended and prolonged use can cause headaches and severe migraines (which disrupt usage of the technique) and requires rest in order to “heal”. Strain increases with KG-specific genjutsu and counter-genjutsu.
Personality:
Strythio is a very intelligent young man, much like his clan. Akin to his clan, he is very observant of his surroundings and highly perceptive. Due to his clan's fame in genjutsu, Strythio is very mind oriented, often found deep in thought or contemplation or meditation.
The covert nature that his clan excels in causes Strythio to be very discreet, often wearing clothing that allows him to better blend into the environment. His favorite saying is, "When walking among mountains, look and act like the mountains", a summation of his desire to remain under the radar.
Naturally then, he is somewhat reserved and not very expositional, though he is a very avid listener. He is not above fleeing from a battle with a superior opponent, and though humble in most talents, in regards to genjutsu, Strythio is very proud of his skills in this art.
Character History:
When the ninja villages were founded, the Kurama Clan settled in Kumogakure, drawn to the prospect of a ninja village. Strythio had been raised prior to coming to Kumogakure, and is still getting settled in the establishment of the village. His parents both had served as heads of the Clan at one time or another during their lifetimes, and as a result, Strythio acquired aspirations to follow in their lead. In order to help him, his parents thus helped line him up to be voted in as Clan Leader.
So Strythio is a member of the clan who was in line for ascension to leadership. However, upon Kumogakure being founded, a minor dispute caused the young man to be passed over in favor of a shrewd woman of greater age and experience. The dispute primarily rested on how to best approach the likes of the Uchiha in battle; Strythio bargained for a direct, punish them with chakra smoke approach while the woman suggested using drugs to enhance the effects of their genjutsu. Ultimately, the woman’s suggestion became the focus of the Clan, and Strythio has since complied, secretly harboring a desire to focus on both.
Entering the village then, Strythio was deemed to be ranked Tokubetsu Jounin (like many of his clanmates) due to his specialty in genjutsu and lack of expertise in ninjutsu. Naturally the man has accepted that rank, and strives to continue his expertise in genjutsu and the manipulation of the mind. It is here where his story starts, as a Tokubetsu Jounin, during the 1st Great Shinobi War.
