NAME
Aiji Dream-Hand
AGE
21 (very lucky) years
GENDER
Male
APPEARANCE
Aiji is fairly unremarkable in appearance, standing not a hair above 5'6" and weighing perhaps 150lbs. Easily labeled scrawny, his lean limbs regularly get him into trouble that even his disarming smile has trouble extracting him from. He wears yellow most regularly, finding that, though the color is usually less than ideal for hiding, it works best with his illusions. His arms up to his elbow are covered in healed burns and scars: the results of his experimentation with explosives.
PERSONALITY
Aiji tries to be thoughtful. He really does. But the future is rarely of great importance to him. A thrill seeker, Aiji constantly seeks a challenge. And when the opportunity presents itself, all consideration for anything else falls by the wayside. More than once, it has cost him injury to his body. But he is as quickly at it again as soon as he has recovered.
HISTORY
Insatiable curiosity and unconcerned recklessness rarely make for good bedfellows. Trouble is almost always the result of their marriage, and Aiji was no exception. The son of a scout and a scientist, he picked up from a young age the primary trait of each parent, and was soon something of an unintentional terror to his family, the Dream-hand clan, masters of Genjutsu.
But his spirit was not squashed but rather encouraged, and though his mother regularly worried herself sick, Aiji proved clever and quick. Though he had trouble progressing as a Genin due to a lack of coordination and the resulting inefficiency at Taijutsu, he pushed through, finally reaching the level of Chunin, if perhaps a few years behind his peers. He returned to his clan in celebration, and there he remained for sometime, putting his knowledge of explosions to use in securing the village against outsiders.
But this was a task easily done, and quickly, and Aiji soon became bored. So, when news of a scouting expedition into bandit-controlled territory came, he jumped at the chance. He was eager to put his mind to work, and his hands. So he volunteered, much to his mother's chagrin, and was soon bidding them farewell as he boarded the ship to unknown lands.
WEAPONS
•Melee - Aiji is armed with the standard ninja fare: shuriken, kunai, and even a few throwing needles for more precise application.
•Explosives - Blessed, or perhaps cursed, with an insatiable desire to see things blow up, Aiji keeps innumerable explosive tags on his person which he uses in combat with his more considered fighting style. He also keeps a few smaller summoning scrolls on his person in order to access some larger charges, should the need arise: everything from fireworks to barrels full of gunpowder. To facilitate the use of these larger explosives, he also carries a flint.
JUTSUS
•Taijutsu - His skill is unremarkable. Able to hold his own against a single average opponent, Aiji has trouble managing with Taijutsu alone against a more determined enemy.
•Ninjutsu - Slightly more skilled in Ninjutsu, Aiji has become fairly accomplished in substitution techniques in particular, with average capabilities in others. Interestingly, he has begun to display a propensity for Air-focused Ninjutsu, though any real talent beyond sheer luck and instinct has yet to seriously manifest.
•Genjutsu - Of the three areas, Aiji has found a real talent with Genjutsu, a propensity carried over through familial training. Highly capable of weaving illusions and falsehoods, he has come to mix this skill with his preferred method of strategic withdrawal in fighting.
