Name:
[Rikuhi] Itahase, Ken
Age:
13
Gender:
Male
Height:
5'6''
Weight:
124lb
Appearance:
Ken's noble descent can almost be scene on his face. He has a very proud look; a strong chin, high cheek bones, and a slightly defined jaw line. His eyes are a bright green that flow in his eyes like some kind of green poison. His opponents don't often get to see his eyes however, as he slips a pair of red tinted sports goggles (prescription) on when in battle due to his near-sightedness. Out of battle though, he tends to let them hang loosely around his neck. His hair has almost seemed to darken a bit over the years, leaving his hair a bark brown color. He tends to keep his hair medium length (about an inch and a half-ish), and combed back to make sure it doesn't get in his eyes or distract him. His forhead protecter (symbol of Rikuhi, white cloth) is straped where one is usually found of course; on his forehead.
As far as his body build goes, Ken has began developing into a manly physique quite well. His chest has a slightly larger chest width than most his age, giving him a strong appearance. It's not always easy to tell though, since he tend to wear a large, black hooded cloak over himself that reaches down to just above his ankles to help keep areas on his body where his bugs (and other weapons) can hide; on the cloak, a white flower with six petals can be seen on each arm. The symbol of his clan. He usually wears the cloack open which reveals Ken wears a sleevless, ninja fish net armor/padding shirt (the typical one seen on the show...). His pants are a pair of gray hakama tied at the waist witha black silk obi; an odd combination with the rest of his clothes, but his own attempt to remain semi-formal at all times but still functional as a ninja. On his feet, a pair of black, standard issue shinobi sandals.

Wheel Bugs (Total: 30)(Image of a wheel bug (http://eny3005.ifas.ufl.edu/lab1/Hemiptera/Reduviid_1.jpg)): The wheel bug adult usually measures from 1 to 1.25 inches long. This assassin bug is a dark robust, grotesque creature having long legs and antennae, stout beak, large eyes on a slim head, and a prominent thoracic, semicircular crest suggesting a cogwheel. Even though the bug moves and flys slowly (near as fast a moderate paced human jog), they are extremely vicious and have a bite that is considered far more painful than that of a wasp or bee sting; pain is followed by numbness to the area (around 2 square inches) where the bite was given, and often takes a few days (usually a week) to heal completely although the numbness itself heals within a few hours of recieving the bite. Wheel bugs are not like bees in the fact that they can use their bite and not die, even able to inflict multiple bites on an enemy. Of course, a five minute down time in between is usually needed simply due to the fact that the bugs have to regenerate the saliva which they inject which is what causes the pain. But more similar to bees is the speed of the bite; wheel bugs do not need to cling on to bite like ticks, they just need to make contact with the target.
Wheel bugs give off a pungent scent as a form of communication, mainly used in mating but can also be used as a tracking device (although tracking is not limited solely to smell alone), although they can release this scent at will. Ken has no fear of the bugs and can communicate with them, so they simply rest underneath his clothes, in his back pack, or in folds of his clothes; they basically go where they please and stay out of sight.
The main reason they follow directions from Ken however, is that he allows them free reign on the harmful insects that inhabit the gardens and farms of his clan, and also he provides them safe areas to breed.
Regular-
Makibishi, kunai, senbon needles, food pills (2)
Element:
Doton
Fighting Type:
Main: Genjutsu, Sub: Ninjutsu
Fighting Style:
Ken's style for solo fighting is to use scare tactics on his opponents using his genjutsu skills, luring them into a moment of weakness to assure the success of any physical attacks. For group fighting, Ken prefers to take a role as more of a support fighter, using a combination of genjutsu, ninjutsu, and ranged attacks to distract his allies opponent's while those fighting along side him go in and deal the real damage.
Personality:
Ken's personality is very polite to almost everyone he meets. He tends to keep his true feelings hidden under a veil of courtesy, but as he grows more accustomed to them he has an easier time opening and sharing his own feelings. Although he treats most curteous, he tends to judge people based on their looks quite early and it will tend to stay in the back of his mind and nag him whenever he has to deal with the person.
Also, he tends to treat everyone as an equal; men, women, old and young; everyone deserves to be treated fairly in Ken's mind. Of course the exception to this rule is when those who are officially ranked above him are concerned; he knows enough courtesy to show respect to them (If they are only a rank above though...). This includes common rights, and common punishments to be equal to everyone.
Ken is also a bug user, although he treats his bugs as more of a tool than as actual friends. Ken can't exactly befriend them as they have a much shorter life span than him, and he'll see them born, grow, and die too fast for him to have a real attachment to them. He respects them though, and they return the respect to him in kind and prove useful assets.
When Ken grows attached to someone, he doesn't become very protective of them but rather he puts more trust into them and believes them. Of course, if someone harms those close to him Ken won't hesitate to harm those who hurt his close ones. For those he hates, he abandons any courtesy and makes it a goal to find ways to ruin the other persons life; his hatred isn't about harming the one he hates, it's simply a matter of returning whatever it is that made him hate them...ten fold.
Strengths:
Physical-
-Ambidextrous
-Slightly above average chakra store, due to reliance on ninjutsu and genjutsu during Academy student years
-Great chakra control for a genin, due to natural talent and reliance on ninjutsu and genjutsu
-In terms of his physical fitness, he tends to be all around 'average'. This is a strength in a profession where many tend to give up one aspect of their physical powers to enhance another. Ken has had to give up no major attribute of his strength. (Note: I'm listing this as a weakness too. I KNOW 'average' things aren't supposed to be strengths OR weaknesses, but considering everyone tends to give up one thing for something else I'm begining to consider it a strength. I listed it in weaknesses anyways though too since I figure someone will yell at me about it...)
Mental-
-Natural affinity for Genjutsu
-Can understand anothers personality farely well, picking up on what makes them 'tick'. This has been gained from sitting in on business discussions that dealt with his clan. When deciding compromises in business plans, one must know what other individuals are willing to accept and how to best place an offer in front of them; this is best seen by analyzing their personality.
-Wide knowledge on insects, arachnids, and various other vermin
-Very brave, he has bugs crawling all over him all the time which might seem disgusting and terrifying to some but he finds it normal. This has lead Ken to a feeling that most people are just too scared of things that they don't even need to worry about. A dark cave, a ferocious animal, or simply a bump in the night; Ken remains stoic.
-Very empathetic, can understand others emotions very well
Weaknesses:
Physical-
-In terms of physical fitness, he tends to be all around 'average'. This is a weakness to him considering many tend to give up one aspect of their physical powers to enhance another. Ken hasn't given up any of his strengths, so he remains average while other ninja have enhanced some of their powers.
-Can't roll well with physical blows, making physical attacks hit him harder than usual
-Near sighted, vision is extremely blurry without goggles
-Can't throw a punch or kick correctly, making his physical hits not as strong as they should be (comparable to an average AS's) and can lead him to be countered easily.
Mental-
-Hand-to-hand is beyond Ken's understanding. He can memorize the skills and even perform them when he's simply practicing, but once in a spar or battle he instantly forgets anything besides simply kicking, punching, and guarding.
-Has trouble telling when "enough is enough", which may tend to make him seem stubborn at times. This is not simply a weakness on the social scene, for Ken tends to over exert himself in training and in fights, leaving him with little energy left
-Can't take taunting very well, especially during battles, will break his concentration and make him act brashly. (Don't expect my RPC to react to stupid things like, "Hey, your mom smells like poop you fart head!" Be witty, or be dead.)
-A bit of a perfectionist. He has a hard time thinking what he does is good enough, and tries to over compensate in whatever act he goes for, leading for sometimes redundant and frivolous actions.
-Values the appearance of people. A person could be extremely cruel and evil, but if they are well dressed Ken will tend to trust them and go along with what they say. If they are dirty, or dressed in a distasteful fashion, Ken will tend to harbor a feeling of slight disgust; "If they don't care how they appear to people, they obviously don't care what others think of them; including me. Why shouldn't I think less of them?"

Genkaku no Mure [Illusion of a Swarm]
[B]Background:
Ken was the second born of the main family of the Itahase clan, although he was the first son. His early years consisted much of watching his sister Hiyori garden with the rest of his family. Ken had a deep love for watching life spring from the earth, enjoying watching each plant change as time passed. During his time in the gardens, he found himself becoming fascinated with insects, often bringing them with him where ever he went. Eventually, speech with insects became almost as natural as speech with people. His parents thought this a bit odd, although they did not look down on Ken in any way. He was enrolled into kendo classes at the age of five and although he was not very skilled in the way of the sword, he became well versed in the ways of Bushido. He stopped kendo a year later, the same year his sister went off to the academy to become a shinobi. Obviously wanting to follow in her foot steps, Ken began studying what his family offered him about ninjutsu; which mainly consisted of tenmon (meterology) and chimon (geography), seeing as his clan was farming based. He continued interacting with his insect friends and eventually they became his allies as he finally set out to begin his classes at the academy.
While enrolled at the Academy, Ken lead a basically normal life as a student there. He attended classes with his peers, eventually mastered the three basic jutsus, and participated in a few spars with fellow classmates. Some familar faces from his Academy days would include boy named Sunatou Shikkyaku, a young puppet user and fellow student from Rikuhi. His interaction with Sunatou brought Ken to have a firm sense of friendship with the boy, and although he was of age with him he admired him a bit for his skills. Another important face from Ken's days as an Academy student would be Hitomi Toku, a staff wielding girl who had a very protective family. At first Ken didn't know what to think of the girl when he first met her, but as they spent time together Ken had his first taste of infatuation. He considers her a very good friend although he confuses himself with his feelings for her on a regular basis; when he brought this up to one of his older cousins and shrugged it off as "problems of a one's spring time of their life". Ken wasn't exactly sure what he meant by that, and basically ignored it.
He was finally made genin at the age of 12, and returned to his family's estate in Rikuhi. He spent his time back at his home to train new jutsus, and even begin developing his own. He was also made to attend business meetings that his clan dealt with so he could one day learn to manage business. Most of his other family members who were made to attend these meetings seemed very uninterested and bored, but Ken took it as a chance to analyze the human nature so he could become a better mission. Currently he's 13 and was just put on active duty by his village and word was that he was to be put on a genin team...
