Okay, couple problems with this, I'll start with the most severe and work my way down to the nitpick details.

Number one, Chaos Emeralds, and they're shards, are to not be used by anyone. No character comes pre-equipped with any sort of Emerald, and the only time you will be coming face to face with the Emeralds are during global events in the main storylines run by me, and that doesn't mean your character 'gets' them. It just means they will be used and that your group may or may not be in possession of them.

Number two, which is actually a worse offense than number one, but I explain in quite a few areas that most kinds of super forms and anything dealing with the Chaos Emeralds and your characters being affected and such is frowned upon. But I digress. Your character's backstory has absolutely no mention of how he learned any kind of ninjutsu. Not to mention raising himself is so highly unlikely that it leaves millions of questions with no good answers outside of 'because I said so'. The most prominent being, of course, is how he learned ninjutsu, how he learned to manipulate the elements and his bloody shadow to attack.

Number three, and it's more backstory issues, is how the hell he learned to speak languages. He raised himself in nature, you claim, so voice would be useless to him. Plus by raising himself he would not be civil and well mannered - he'd be savage. Just look up nature vs. nurture for more on that. Also, in raising himself, alone in nature, he would likely not have had a name for himself, and he would not have a last name at all.

Number four, mood ring eyes are lame and overdone. Eyes are expressive enough as they are - they dull when depressed, they tear up when sad, they are clear and intense when angry - adding color to the mix is unnecessary, add useless space to a post, and actually take away from the experience than add.

I know I ripped into your character pretty bad, but I'm thorough with these things. Creating an interesting character that adds to the experience is part of the fun - creating a Mary Sue with ridiculous powers and an ill-conceived backstory takes away the fun from others. If you want to discuss it further and want some help in creating a cool and interesting character, hit me up with a PM and if possible, use the Gaia IM service.

This is actually worse off then before. All the answers are simple copouts to the problems I listed. Insanity to sanity is not something someone... gets over. It's when the mind snaps and changes the perception of the world for the person so that they can cope with the situation - it's nothing good and it takes more then just removing the situation to remove the sickness - you can take the crazy man out of the asylum, but he's still crazy.

Also, elements include bismuth and radon - not fire or ice. People just like to say element because it's a pretty little word.

Learning a language from no language at all takes more then a year to master, it takes more then kindness to become a functionign member of society, and it takes more then a year to master powers and if he was truly a master of English, he'd realize Ninjutsu isn't even close to what he does.

All in all, I now highly recommend working on this character together to see how we can make him truly interesting with a balanced set of powers. Him being only fifteen means he'll exceptionally inexperienced. Again, send me a PM, and we'll work on this guy.
