Kashima Naoki
Name: Kashima Naoki
Canon: Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne
Character Journal:withfocus
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Birthday: December 31st
Village Affiliation: Kiri
Rank: Chuunin
Canon History: Naoki, the Demi-fiend
Canon Abilities/Powers:
Naoki in the game can learn a wide variety of skills depending on player preference. As he goes through the game he gets stronger, more agile, more durable, and a higher reserve of mana with which to cast spells.
The main categories are physical attacks, healing, elemental (ice, fire, electric, force/wind), death, expel, almighty, and status/mind. In addition, a number of skills enhance offensive or defensive abilities either by being cast in battle or passively effecting combat. There is even a skill for determining an enemy's ability and weakness.
I prefer a half physical build, and to take the other four skill slots with fog breath (it makes Naoki and his summoned demons almost impossible to hit), and some combination of powerful fire and force(wind) spells.
He can also sense the presence of other powerful demons and beings of sufficient power that appear in the game.
Naoki's last ability is summoning other demons to aid him in battle.
Players are rewarded with 'extra turns' in a turn based combat system whenever they land a critical hit or exploit an elemental weakness. This means that careful planning is better than brute force most of the time.
Appearance: Naoki is average in height and build, standing at 5'6''. He has dark hair, fair skin, and blue eyes. Most distinct are the marks that cover his body, mostly in large lines but also a few chevrons and other markings. They're mostly black, with a blue/green line along the edges that glows.
Personality: Naoki tries to please or help everyone he can. He's a bit of a teacher's pet, and a good student. While he happily meets expectations set for him, and frequently exceeds them, he has yet to develop the drive to push himself as far as he can go. Instead of setting goals for himself, he pursues goals others set before him.
Naoki is a sometimes quiet person, and easily pushed around by friends and allies due to his eagerness to cooperate. He doesn't talk about his feelings or his own opinions without being asked, but despite that he holds very strongly to how he feels and what he believes in. When what someone else wants him to do conflicts with those strongly held beliefs, Naoki will stick with his personal convictions.
Despite the fact that it's frowned upon in Kiri, Naoki quietly cares very deeply for his friends and the people he works with frequently. Part of his determination to succeed on missions stems from this. He is also kind to his summons, regarding them more as friends and allies than tools to be used.
Naoki is very brave and somewhat optimistic. While he doesn't brag or show off, Naoki has no self-doubt or confidence issues. He is very aware of his abilities, and his weaknesses in combat. While he gladly jumps in against strong opponents, he isn't reckless.
He seems to become a very different person in a fight or when pushed past his limits. While Naoki is normally yielding and quiet, he becomes completely focused and determined when facing a real fight or challenging mission objective. He naturally pushes himself more when there's something tangible to push against, whether it be a strong opponent or the danger of failure.
Given how quiet he frequently is, his intelligence and studious observation tends to go unnoticed by others. Naoki has a very strong preference in a fight for carefully setting up attacks, striking whenever an opening appears, and tactics that leverage any weakness the opponent might have, or any advantage Naoki has.
Strengths and Weaknesses:
Strengths:
-good at teamwork
-good self control
-slow to anger
-loyal
-high chakra capacity
Weaknesses:
-too trusting
-doesn't work as hard as he can to realize his full potential
-lets people push him around
-difficulty learning new advanced jutsu due to the wasted chakra
-highly aggressive opponents who continually press the attack
Sunshine Abilities/Powers:
Family markings: Naoki inherited the unusual chakra flow from his father's side of the family which leads to chakra leaking out into the skin and forming patterns of glowing lines. This is not a bloodline, but a chakra quirk that pops up in the family every now and then.
Naoki has full body markings and developed black pigmentation between the lines as he grew and his chakra use increased. Because of the chakra loss, Naoki had to work harder to establish enough chakra control to use more demanding jutsu without excessive loss. However he also developed larger chakra capacity as a result.
He now has very fine chakra control, and is able to suppress the light he gives off completely even while performing chakra intensive ninjutsu. Initially every jutsu was difficult, but as Naoki developed control over his chakra he experienced less difficulty picking up new jutsu. He can learn simple jutsu easily, but more chakra intensive or particularly complicated jutsu are still difficult for him to pick up because he tends to waste large amounts of chakra before he figures them out.
Taijutsu/weapon training: Naoki is an accomplished but not prodigal combatant in close quarters, both with his hands and a single-edge sword made to be used one handed or with two hands depending on what Naoki needs at the time. His taijutsu and kenjutsu technique is very precise and correct. He leverages that against opponents that exceed him in physical strength or speed by ensuring each move gets the most out of the strength he has and that there are no wasted movements.
Silent Killing: Naoki has mastered the silent killing technique and the art of tracking enemies based on sound alone. He frequently uses water jutsu to create mist to cover the battlefield when using this.
Summoning: Naoki is a summoner of Moths.
Naoki's elemental affinity is Wind with a Fire secondary, but the first element he mastered was Water. He knows a number of wind release and a handful of strong fire release jutsu.
He is adept at a larger number of water jutsu due to the versatility in its application. They are his go to ninjutsu when he needs to do something other than outright damage, like using water whip to grab enemies at a distance, water prison to catch enemies, or water wall for defense.
Naoki uses his wind chakra channeled into his blade to increase its effectiveness in combat, and wind techniques to both take down enemies prone to jumping and force them to the ground, discourage ranged weapon volleys, and make precise attacks at any range.
For fire jutsu, Naoki uses them for large damaging area attacks or to force enemies into a preferable location or formation.
Seals: Naoki is skilled with the design and application of seals. He can easily create A rank security seals for scrolls, and stores some of his gear in scrolls. Naoki also creates seal traps, and keeps one or two scrolls with water ninjutsu with him. In a combat situation where he has the opportunity to set up seal traps in the terrain, he prefers water and wind based traps.
Genjutsu: Naoki's unique chakra flow meant that early in his career genjutsu would be nearly impossible for him to use effectively. As such, Naoki never picked up much of an interest in it, and he has always had other areas of greater interest since, so his knowledge of genjutsu is basic and grounded in early study of the theory behind it. He has moderate skill in resisting genjutsu on his own.
Physical condition: Naoki has a fair amount of physical strength, but long experience sparring with stronger shinobi has left him with a preference for relying on speed, agility, and well executed technique. There are definitely faster shinobi, but it's rare for him to be completely unable to keep up.
Sunshine History: Naoki was born to two Shinobi parents and inherited the unusual chakra flow that occasionally shows up in the Kashima family. His pre-academy instruction from his parents had a stronger focus on water jutsu to get him accustomed to the element and to learning jutsu with the Kashima family chakra.
He entered the academy at age six, and graduated at age nine. During his years at the academy he became good friends with other students his age named Chiaki and Isamu, and continued to remain in touch with them after they graduated, frequently spending his free time with them when they were assigned to other missions. Although he was related to the Mizukage through his mother's side, it wasn't close enough to warrant more than slight acknowledgement on formal occasions.
Jounin Takao Yuki, a skilled woman who valued intelligence above all else, chose Naoki as her apprentice after noticing his thoughtfulness and potential. Takao also frequently worked with Chiaki and Isamu, hoping competition would inspire Naoki to push himself more. To an extent it had the desired effect, and Naoki made great progress in mastering wind before making chuunin at age 12.
A few days after his 13th birthday, he was assigned to Sephiroth with the hopes that his cooperative personality would work well with the jounin. When that turned out to be the case, Naoki was permanently assigned to Sephiroth, taking missions with other jounin very infrequently. While his missions were primarily with Sephiroth and other chuunin, Naoki maintained a friendly relationship and occasionally trained with other jounin. His willingness to lend a hand also led to him training with or assisting a large number of his peers.
Going on more challenging missions was more of an incentive than competing with his friends, and Naoki advanced in strength and skill much more quickly as a chuunin than he did as a genin. He kept a close relationship with Takao, and his friends from the academy. Naoki has most recently been preparing to take the jounin exam.

Missive Sample:
[The missive is neatly sealed, and written with Naoki's neat, precise handwriting.]
Kisame-san,
I have planned an extended training session outside the village to prepare for the jounin exam, and would be very grateful if you have time to join me. I have three days off beginning Saturday.
I apologize for not asking in person, but I did not wish to wait until the last minute. [The rest is written more hastily and less neatly.] We will be back by Thursday.
