Section 2: Personality

Personality: Kiwanu is a happy go getter who isn't afraid to jump into a fray if need be. Due to the fact that he has entered into his teenage years he does know when to rationalize on a situation as he is no fool but he is still a kid somewhat so he still wishes to have fun and so he is always on the look out for something that can keep him busy or entertained. Normally his emotions can be controlled but constant mocking and teasing of his family and friends can sometimes set this young Kuma off.
Likes: As is in his nature Kiwanu does indeed enjoy fighting but not to win, he just like seeing how strong he is compared to himself, he just enjoys a good bout. Ki is also a meat lover and questions the thoughts of vegetarianism.
Dislikes/Fears: Kiwanu dislikes people whom mistreat others to benefit themselves, as it is just unnecessary and unwanted for that matter. Ki doesn't like the sight of someone in pain or upset as he then feels compelled to help them with the issue.
Motivation: Although he is only a kid Ki has always been a strong believer in the idea of being strong means you have the power to protect the weak, and so Kiwanu trains to become strong enough to protect everyone not just people he knows but everyone who needs it, he wants to be able to overcome any and all obstacles so that the world may know peace and he can have plenty of entertaining bouts that won't end in death and sadness.

Section 3: Clan Information

Bloodline: Yasei no keijō (Wild Shape)
Bloodline Ability: The members of the Kuma clan are able to transform parts of their body into those of bears with ease without the risk of losing their human side. In addition whenever a member of the clan uses a taijutsu, due to their deep connection with nature and their inner beast, the effects produced are so natural to them that it costs one rank less in chakra cost (E ranks still cost 5). This excludes any technique with an elemental attachment and/or nintaijutsu. All clan members are required to have Taijutsu as their primary specialization.
History of Clan: When the forest was still young there were people living among the branches and the animals themselves as a natural part of the flow. Some grew very close to specific species like the tiger or the hawk but the Kuma clan were a proud folk who valued physical strength and a burning will to fight, these people were known as the tribe of bears. They lived for many years as constant thorns in the sides of other people until the creation of villages and lasting alliances made it easier for them to find more casual opponents to test themselves against. Now a well known member of the hidden forest village they set themselves up specific areas of the forest in sturdy homes thanks to the teachings of the Doruido clan and their tree magic. For many generations this clan lived in peace until one day there came invader's to the village who burned much of the housing down after acquiring the location of the village from an ancient library. Eventually these invader's were defeated but many of the village's great clans suffered great losses and none was greater than the proud Kuma who never left the front lines even once to refresh themselves while their allies needed to recuperate. Eventually it was discovered that these invaders were acting alone and were simply trying to destroy the village to set up a new base. This group had members of every village in it and although the great council has hidden this fact from the history books and banned the speaking of it publicly the Kuma know all to well since it was them doing most of the fighting. Since that battle nearly two hundred years ago they have lived quietly in distrust of most everyone outside of their own clan. Even so they are a friendly people that will often challenge those around them to some friendly wrestling matches to both test and show off their skills at every chance.
Location of Clan: Morigakure

Section 4: Background

Character History: Although Kiwanu would probably never tell anyone this piece of information, the day after his life force was brought into the world of shinobi, would be the same day his mother's life force diminished forever. She had been a weak woman ever sense getting pregnant with Kiwanu and after his birth her spirit finally gave out but it would be years later before Ki would ever learn of this fact. Ki had always been an out going kid and it shown at birth as he was quite possibly the loudest child in the entire hospital. Growing up it always seemed like he was up to something as he could not sit still for anything. Raised by his father and other relatives the boy has grown up to become a rather decent young man.

As Ki grew older he would be enrolled in the ninja academy where he would continue his studies as a young shinobi. His academy days usually went rather well but other days not so much, as there were times where Ki would get harassed after school. Ki however had been raised under a tough roof and eventually began to fight back against his aggressors and slowly but surely the harassment all but stopped. Besides these small mini ventures Ki's younger years went by rather smoothly as he had his own small group of friends. Ki would then make his way through the graduation exam and pass with flying colors as the proctors had said and he had been promoted to genin and this is when the truth about his mother would come out. Now deeming him old and mature enough to know this fact his father would tell him the story of his mother passed, claiming multiple times that it wasn't Ki's fault but in the end Ki could only feel shame and pain as this was revealed to him and for a time Ki would shut himself out from the world. In this time all he would do was stare at his picture of his beloved mother and cry tears of sorrow not even bothering to it or worry about his health in anyway. Weeks would pass before Ki finally brought himself out of his depressive state, with a new fire in his eyes he was determined to make his mother proud and bring peace to the country. He would become strong not for just his benefit but for the benefit of the people as well, and now the story of the young cub shall continue on ward, and only time will tell what the future holds in store for him.

RP Sample: The day had finally arrived, on this day a new leader would be place of the deceased kage Yonoowari , whom had died attempting to fight the 9 tails or so the stories say. Never the less the village needed someone to be in charge lest the chaos would ensue and consume what's left of the people here. The meeting was too be held within the confines of the kage's building but in a room separate from that of the actual Kage's chamber. Neo would soon be entering the room himself as he was a candidate chosen to be a possible temporary successor due to him being rather close to the past kage. From what Neo has heard the leaders of specific clans within Morigakure have also made their presence known to seize the power as well. "Grrrreat... A bunch of old dudes arguing about which is best too lead, this is going to be so much fun" the sarcasm in his voice was all too evident. He would arrive at the Kage building and follow an assistant whom seemed to be given the task of directing all who came into the building. Neo would reach his destination and heave a great sigh before opening the door and entering the room.

"ARE YOU INSANE, YOU AREN'T FIT TO RULE A HOUSE LET ALONE AN ENTIRE VILLAGE, ONE OF OUR OWN SHOULD BE THE NEXT KAGE!". Neo took his seat at the table and watched the carnage unfold, he figured it best to let this play itself out rather then attempting to cut in between it. "YOU DARE SPOUT SUCH FOUL THINGS AND YET YOU ARE WORSE THEN I, IT IS PITIFUL! YOUR KIN HAS ALREADY SEEN ITS WAY TO THE TOP AND YOU'VE FAILED IT'S TIME FOR SOMEONE NEW!" "HOW DARE YOU SPEAK OF OUR DECEASED KAGE IN SUCH A WAY HE HAS NOT FAILED US AT ALL!". Thanks to the help of the woman whom had escorted him here he was able to tell who was who now not that it would make a difference but it was nice to know where the point of views were coming from. He took note that each of the heads had one of their own with them weather they be genin or jounin either way they all seemed their own personal guards with them, although Neo didn't know why they would bring guards in the first place as it would only cause more tension to rise. Expanding on the note of who was here he noted that the presence of the Empire's Commander in Chief had yet to arrive to the meeting although it was possibly only a matter of time before he was due to arrive. Neo's train of thought was soon cut off by more commotion from the head butting still occurring in the room. "Ha and you believe putting a Kuma in charge is a good choice? How ridiculous, the head should obviously be from that of the Hitogumo this much is obvious" "you're nuts, your ridiculous ideals'll probably do us more harm then good it is one from the Lacerta that should take place as the kage".

{Is this really how old men act? dear lord I hope I never grow old} Neo now putting all this aside decided that it was now time to have his voice heard at the least. Neo would rise from his seat and clear his throat loud enough to gain the attention of those in his presence "SABAKUKAGE?! WHEN DID YOU GET HERE!?!?" Neo would roll his eyes before saying what he had to say "I've been here, listening to the lot of you bicker nevertheless I am still a candidate so I would like you to also to consider me as a possible temporary kage, that is all you may carry on" he would take his seat once again and cross his arms and watch as the carnage would resume once more.
