Honō is a quiet individual who works hard to never impose,
to never disappoint, and, more importantly, to never be a
burden. He walks quietly and falls far too readily into the
submissive role of a servant. He bows his head in greeting
and reprimands for even daring to think anything that could
ever be even mildly construed as an insult, undermining, or
even dismissive of intent or sincerity. Anger is a foreign
feeling, as he redirects it as being born from his own failings
and thus turned into shame, guilt or some variation thereof.
He is also unaccustomed to conflict, so he takes on a
supportive role instead, or avoids it altogether. Despite his
fears, he has yet to be placed in a position where has to
decide between his own life or that of another＇s...

Honō at age 15 was just before his massive, and sudden,
growth spurt. He is below average height, and his weight
is only due to the muscles needed for his work in the forge.
Skinny and thin framed, Honō is pale skinned from his time
in the hospital and his work indoors. Moss-green eyes,
pale hair, and small, almost indistinct scars on his forearms
and hands are his main features of any distinguish. He also
has a preference for more traditional work attire, due to the
very traditional preferences of his clan. Haori and Hakama of
whites, purples, and, later in his life when he returned to
shinobi work, blues comprise his wardrobe. When crystallised,
he wore a white set with grey accents - including hand-
embroidered sigils of his clan.

• Ｅｎｖｉｒｏｎｍｅｎｔａｌ Ｌｅｎｓ：
Is able to accurately estimate the weaknesses and
viable exploits in the surrounding environment.
Be it the stabilising pebble at the base of the wall,
or the angle needed to fell a tree where needed.

• Ｓｏｌｄｅｒｉｎｇ Ｔｅａｍｍａｔｅ：
Honō will support his teammates by means of
supplying weapons, tripping up the opponent, or
manipulating the environment to his allies'
advantage. Honō will watch his teammate(s) to get
familiar with their tells, thus becoming more and
more accurate in reading their intentions.

• Ｓｌｅｅｋ Ｓｔｅｐｓ：
Due to his training in the Hari clan, Honō has no
difficulty traversing slippery surfaces, even over
uneven terrain.

• Ｌａｔｔｉｃｉｎｏ Ｈａｎｄｓ
Honō's work has gained him steady hands and the
ability to perform minute, detailed work. Finicky
work, such as the setting up even the most intricate
traps, holds less trouble for him.

• Ｃｒａｃｋｓ：
Honō was never trained for proper combat, and as
such has a tendency to flee instead of fight,
especially when out numbered. When hit with an attack,
his urge to flee only increases.

• Ｊｅｗｅｌｌｅｄ：
Honō's choice in clothing marks him out from other
shinobi; restricting his movements slightly and
hindering most chances at stealth.

• Ｆｒａｇｉｌｉｔｙ：
Trained in his work instead of his responsibilities as a
shinobi, Honō lacks the strength most individuals garner
from their everyday training.

• Ｂｒｏｋｅｎ Ｓｈａｒｄｓ：
Knowing he isn't the most skilled shinobi in the village,
Honō fears his teammates will leave him behind if he fails
to meet their expectations.

• Ｓｈａｔｔｅｒｅｄ：
Honō was never the strongest, or masculine, individual
in Kumo. He fears this makes him a target of assault;
verbal or physical. Whenever he leaves the workshop he is
constantly anxious and alert of his surroundings, misreading
the words and reactions of the people around him to negatively
apply to him.

• Ｉｎｎｅｒ Ｓｅｌｆ：
Honō's chakra materialises as black, clawed, limbs and he
truly believes it is because there is some dark, horrible part
of himself that has caused. Some inner demon or monster
that wants to rip apart the good in the world. So he follows
the path of submission - he beats out any negative thought
he even comes close to thinking and preys to all gods,
ancestors, and deities that he isn't evil. That he isn't bad.
That he never makes anyone cry, or be in pain, or be afraid
of him.

→• Ｕｎｃａｎｎｙ Ａｉｍ：
Preferring to create and maintain a distance between himself
and the enemy, Honō has spent a considerable amount of time
crafting range weapons, especially throwing weapons. From this
he finds himself creating an extra half again the expected number
every second attempt without the extra cost of material or time.

→• Ｇｅｎｔｌｅ Ｓｏｕｌ：
Honō's kind and soft nature have made him entirely unthreatening
and approachable. Animals are especially more receptive to him.
They find peace in his presence and are not opposed to following
him - thus granting the Hokori the passive ability to give another
individual trying to tame an animal an extra re-roll/attempt at success.

→• Ｓｔｅａｄｙ Ｈａｎｄｓ：
Honō's work in the family forge has trained him into mastering a
better self-control over his movements. Gathering fragile or precious
materials will gain him an extra half again amount due to his precision
and care.

→• Ｃｏｕｎｔｅｒｐｏｉｓｅ：Greater Personal Attribute
Already keen eyes for details and steady hands for careful work have allowed Honō the small liberty of quickly correcting errors about to be made - so long as they aren't too out of control. When a check is made via dice roll, if the number Honō has rolled is up to two [ 2 ] points below the required number to pass, Honō may reroll. This does not apply when there are several levels of 'success' unless no success is met at all.

→• Ｕｎｎａｍｅｄ：Minor Attribute
Minor attribute restricted to dealing with Artisan Skills. Currently to be made.

→• Honō was trained by the Hari clan in
only to serve it. He has experience in the tea ceremony, in the manners
of servants, and in all ways of fulfilling the needs of others without ever
asking what it is they are after. When it was found he had some miner
attunement with chakra, the young boy was also forced to attend the
village Academy as well.

→• It was apparent from the beginning he had little
talent, but his determination not to fail or dissapoint made him a
dedicated student and hard study of the required materials. Theoretically,
Honō did well, but practically he just could not keep up with the other kids.
At the threat of dissapointing the Hari family, Honō would stay back after
lessons to practice in hope of finally matching his fellow classmates. One
day, however, he could not perform the simplest of techniques - the wall
walking skill. So he again stayed at the Academy after lessons were over
and he practiced. And practiced. And the sun went down and he kept going
- muscles aching and overclothes gently folded and set aside to keep them
clean. But he went for too long, and his breaks to catch his breath just weren't
enough to account for his lack of chakra. In his determination, Honō surged
chakra through his pathways - and they were too far gone. It was too much.
Honō had burned out the entrance to his core and done extreme damage to
his pathways. He was hospitalised and the Hari clan removed his enrollment
in the Academy. After years of intensive care and then physical therapy, Honō
returned to his full duties - to his family.

→• Years later, Honō met Kaileer and Wanryoku during a
freak snowstorm - the guise of a supposed UHV attack. It was that same attack
that resulted in Honō being enlisted back into the Kumo forces. He worked to
suit his skills learned as a worker to best aid his teammates and village. Most
notable to Honō in supporting him and giving him the confidence in growing his
skill set was a Samurai named Soraru. Most notable in giving Honō a figure to
confide in and familiarity with was a Barbarian named Wanryoku. And most
notable in giving Honō the precedence that you don't always have to place duty
before self, is Kaileer.
