Background:
Since the time of the founding of Konoha, there has been one family so close to the Hokage that they earned the title Ura Hokage to select circles. From the first, they had one duty that they held sacred. Their task was to protect the Hokage, their oath was one that no Hokage would die without a Hanabishi lying dead at their side. By no means, necessarily greater skill than the Hokage, they simply took to a life of devotion to the most important figure in Konoha. Only one had ever failed at his duty of dying before the Hokage, Hanabishi Resshin, Kurei's father. Shamed, Kurei's father commited Sepukku before even the funeral of the Third Hokage he had failed to serve.

This family developped arts specializing in Fire Jutsu and taking it into realms that no other shinobi had gone with the art of fire manipulation. Generations of honed techniques are taught to each Hanabishi born, naming each technique after the Hanabishi ninja that had masterred it first. Kurei was a prodigy of the family. Taking to techniques earlier than many would expect. When people would compare him to Hatake Kakashi he reacted with disinterest at best. It was clear and somewhat troubling to his family that Kurei had no interest in his own betterment, since relatively nothing challenged him he saw little need to apply himself in any particular area. Having lost his mother to Orochimaru's experiments when he was still a young boy, he was emotionally detached and possibly disturbed. He was known for a "what's so great about that" attitude towards the accomplishments of others. Then he made the mistake of falling in love...

A lovely young orphan girl by the name of Kurenai (not that Kurenai) who ran a scroll and medicine shop in Konoha. She was the neice of the Medic Nin that raised Yakushi Kabuto. Kurei became reinvented in her presence, much to the delight of his close friends Raiha and Neon. Where once he was cold and distant, around her he was personal and often borderred on cheerful. His open heart spread beyond just his romantic relationship, he began training a deciple and had petitioned to be given a three man genin squad of his own when he was just seventeen years of age. Unfortunately, it was not to last. After the invasion of Suna and Oto, when it was revealed that Yakushi Kabuto had been a spy, an investigation was done on the family that he had lived with. Yakushi Kurenai was also found guilty of supplying Orochimaru with sensetive information and medical supplies for his experiments.

Convinced of her innocence, Kurei protested which resulted in an Anbu squad being dispatched to kill her. Successful in their mission, they also suffered heavy casualties at the hands of Hanabishi Kurei who sealed his fate as a wanted man in Konoha by killing the entire Anbu squad. Given his family's relationship to the Hokage, it was at first forgiven as a crime of passion and he was sent away to serve a sentance in a Fire Country prison. But during his short time incarcerated he became obsessed with Orochimaru, blaming him for taking away everything important to him. He escaped from the prison and with the help of Raiha and Neon, his two most loyal of friends, he began engaging in Kinjutsu research of his own, attempting to find a way of punishing Orochimaru that Kurei would be satisfied with. He believed even death was too merciful, and he would often lose himself to fantasies of Orochimaru writhing in agony and torment.

Eventually, he was rediscovered by his countrymen, who were shocked to learn of his research into Kinjutsu. A crime of passion could be forgiven, but developping jutsu for the sole purpose of torture was a crime that couldn't be overlooked. He fled once again, this time with Raiha and Neon in tow and has been on the run ever since as an S-Rank Mukenin. While his fire techniques are incredibly impressive, Kurei lacks a diversity that would could prove necessary in some situations, particularly potent is his weakness to Water-Jutsu that requires him to exert far greater amounts of Chakra against a water-based enemy.
Jutsu List:
Kurei specializes in Fire Jutsu, particularly the arts of the Hanabishi no Honou. Some practicers are known to demonstrate an ability to combine differing Karyu techniques, Kurei prefers instead to refine a Karyu to it's maximum potential and use them individually.

Katon: Hinobushin no Jutsu-
Similar to Kage Bushin, but making clones made out of solid fire as opposed to solid chakra. They lack the ability to think independantly beyond reaction, but rather than just disperse when impacted, they ignite.

Katon: Karyu Nadare no Jutsu-
Also known as "Dan En", this ability is a projectile of incredibly hot balls of fire. The user forms the fireballs, which can then wait in the air until ready to be released, at which point they will fly toward their designated target. Some Hanabishi have been known to favor an exploding ball of flame, Kurei lets his flame take the form of darts or knives before throwing them.

Katon: Karyu Saiha no Jutsu-
Also known as "En Jin". The user makes a blade of fire that can differ based on the user. Kurei forms a long nodachi style blade with his En Jin.

Katon: Karyu Homura no Jutsu-
Also known as "Ben En". The user makes a coil of flame which can extend as a whip of fire from the hand or fingertip of the user, by coiling the flame around the hand or forearm, the Ben En can also be released in conjunction with a punch or strike, amplifying the strike's strenght slightly and giving it a flame element.

Katon: Karyu Setsuna no Jutsu-
Also known as "Shun En". The user forms an Eye overhead which is composed of flame. The flame searches for body heat and ignites the chakra of everyone around but the user. This technique has obvious drawbacks. It makes no difference betwen friend or foe. While it is especially effective against Wind-aligned ninja, it's power is dulled to fire-ninja and next to useless against water-aligned chakra.

Katon: Karyu Madoka no Jutsu-
Also known as "Kekkai En". The user makes points of flame which then join to create a solid barrier of heat and light. While this technique is near impenetrable to most jutsu and physical attacks, it does have two very key weaknesses. The barrier is two ways, meaning the user can't attack from behind it any more than they can be attacked. Also, the barrier is useless against water jutsu.

Katon: Karyu Rui no Jutsu-
Also known as "Gen En". This is the Hanabishi style signature genjutsu, illusions accompanied by smoke and heat-haze which attempt to lure an opponent into a body of flame or into another attack.

Katon: Karyu Kokuu no Jutsu-
A purely offensive technique, also known as "Hadou En". This jutsu requires the longest set of hand-seals of any Hanabishi style Jutsu, as well as the most potent focus of chakra. But the results are a beam of potent fire in the form of an animal reflective of the user. In Kurei's case a phoenix.

Katon: Karyu Yanagi no Jutsu-
A medical fire technique that allows transferance of one person's chakra into another at a quick, and occasionally dangerous, rate. The user heals their target by damaging themselves.

Katon: Karyu Ouka no Jutsu-
The technique that made Kurei the family legend he was when he masterred it. This is the most difficult form of the Hanabishi style to master, as it requires intimate seal knowledge and quick reflexes. The user releases a flame which eats any chakra attack sent at the user and copies that one attack to throw it back at the opponent. While this requires greater timing and more chakra expension than the ability of Hatake Kakashi to do the same, Kurei took the technique to another level, allowing the flame to copy the ninja who used the technique as opposed to just the technique. The copy is a body made of solid fire, and regardless of the original elemental alignment of the opponent the alignment of the clone becomes "fire".

Katon: Ouka Kai no Jutsu-
The "release" of Ouka. Kurei manifests memories of previous opponents or allies with his Ouka no Jutsu. He has two flame-copies he prefers to recall, his dead friend Jisho and his dead lover Kurenai, because of his intimate knowledge of Jisho's abilities and his emotional attachment to Kurenai.
RP Challenge:  

[Pandangel Lord M]

Name (& Meaning): Mostly known as: Aikano Okami / Aika (Mistress of Lament Song / Lament song) Real name: Meianno Yuugao (Moonflower of Light and Darkness)
Age: 25 7/8 - Cancer
Country & Affiliation: Tsukigakure / No official alliance
Rank: Official: Chuunin / Estimated about Jounin
Chakra Alignment: Water and Wind
Special Jutsu Ability: Jutsu seals, stealth. Kekkei Genkai: Nokeru - Nokeru is a jutsu that can take from it's target one of their senses or dull two or three. Aika has taken the time to improve this technique and has focused it enough to be able to take away two full senses, or to dull three of them, or even briefly strengthen them. Her eyes will fully cloud over into pure white when she performs this - making her otherwise ineffective in battle until she releases the hold.
Physical Description/Picture: AikaAika has long and deep blue hair, that it seems through her practice of her Kogarashi technique, strands here and there have been shocked into turning a wintry white - making her hair seem to shimmer like the surface of frozen water under the moonlight as she moves her head. Born with blue eyes, the years of suffering from her own kekkei genkai seems to have effected them, turning the brilliant blue into a somewhat eerie shade of lavender - though at times when she finds herself suffering a severe enough headache, the blue will return and her eye-sight weakens so that she must wear glasses to get through the day until the pain fades.

The sense-numbing also seemed to effect her growth somewhat, so she's gone through her life no taller than she was when she was thirteen - a fact that she tries to hide by wearing thick-soled boots to raise her up to almost five and a half feet, when without them she'd probably be at just under five feet. Her clothing tends to veer more toward the sensual side, and her make-up done to further hide the effects. Without these things, she could very nearly pass for no more than an academy student.

Despite the more fashion-minded clothing, she has managed to adapt them to be practical as well. She wears a belt with large silver hoops to hang pouches from to carry small weapons or her poisons, elbow-length gloves are thick enough to help protect her hands from the cold, and have been altered with small metal plates to help block attacks. The boots lace up the back, to allow for a solid piece along her shin for protection. Her top has even been created of thick enough leather, lined with thin but strong bone to help give her upper body some protection.

Background: Growing up in Tsukigakure, Yuu often found herself the target of talk amongst villagers. It wasn't necessarily in a bad way when she was younger. The Meianno were a respected family in Tsukigakure, so she enjoyed a happy childhood and up-bringing. She had been allowed to become a student and passed her genin exams at a young age, but beyond that, seemed to struggle for no reason that anyone could understand. Her abilities almost seemed at a stand-still once she reached the age of ten, when her teacher had been preparing to pass her on to be tested for her Chuunin rank already.

Instead, she was made to watch as the rest of the Genin her age passed their tests and were allowed to start going on missions and grow stronger, some even becoming Juunin by the time she was sixteen - still a Genin. She attempted to keep herself calm by singing as she performed her hand-movements, but in the end it did little good. All this frustration finally emerged and boiled over in her, and when she went to attempt the test, the anger and frustration at her self allowed her to pass the test, but at such a cost on her energy that she ended up in bed for over a week. When a doctor came to see her, he noticed that her eyes had clouded over some, and after speaking with her father, discovered that there was a latent kekkei genkai in the Meianno family that could be employed to dull some of the senses or incapacitate one of the senses of a target. After some observation, the doctor surmised that without proper training in the jutsu, it seemed to be turning those energies on Yuu, making it near impossible for her to progress further in her learning.

As none had had to deal with such in generations, it was decided that it was best to stop Yuu's training in favor of being able to focus their efforts on their more capable students. Feeling suddenly worthless, and seized with a desire to prove them wrong, she ran away to the mainland and began training herself in how to control the ability - though frustration at herself would often rear its head once again and with what abilities she had, she wreaked enough havoc to where she and her strange tendency to sing in that haunting voice became well-enough known to earn her the nickname "Aikano Okami". When she found herself notorious enough after a couple years to have heard of a couple of hidden villages having their ANBU on the look-out for her, if not hunting her actively, she withdrew into more privacy.

It was only then and through learning a great deal of patience that Yuu, or Aika, learned to finally not only control the ability, but pushed it to the point of surpassing its orignal bounds. Seven years had passed since she left her village, but she attempted a return anyway. When she attempted to request that she be allowed to be tested and train in the village once again, she was turned away - both for the fact that no one felt that it would be worth the time, despite what potential she once seemed to have, and for the trouble she had caused. Leaving once again, she has devoted the past two years to traveling and teaching herself - ultimately seeking someone who would teach her and help her to train her abilities, because left on her own, she cannot manage to gain the strength or discipline she needs.

And though while not a true split personality, she seems to have developed ideas of herself. When she's dressed properly, her hair up and make-up on, she goes by Aika. But when she's simply as herself, she doesn't feel as strong (not to mention looks to be about fourteen or fifteen) and so will go by Yuu - those who do not know here would simply be able to make the mistake of thinking there really are two separate people of Aika and Yuu. And despite her shame at not having been able to reach her potential yet, she wears her band over her head as a reminder to herself that she can find it in herself to push hard enough to achieve her goals.

Jutsu List:
Kamaitachi (Cut caused by whirlwind) - A wind called up that can circle its target or targets like a tornado, the chakra lashing out like blades. At her strength, the blades are not strong enough to cut through armors, and will do little more than cause surface wounds.
Yokaze (Night wind) - Another tornado-like wind that surrounds the target, though as it begins forming around her, she will break a vial of a poison in her hand and as the wind picks the poison up, it turns black and heads for the target, pulling air away from around them so they're forced to breath in the poison. Depending on which poison she's using, some will even cause the dark wind to glitter like star-light. She carries her poisons with her, though none are lethal - she prefers instead things like sedatives, or something that would give an intense but brief nose bleed or headache.
Kogarashi (Cold wintry wind) - This wind is more of a gust, calling up winds cold enough that if one is subjected to them for a prolonged time, can actually start to cause frost bite. For shorter periods, a strong gust can be powerful enough to lower someone's body temperature briefly - which would make warming back up in high temperatures dangerous as well, as it would occur too fast.
Benzaiten (Eloquence and water) - As she has not been able to strengthen her control on water as much, this is more a distractionary method, rather than something that can cause serious harm. Near a body of water, the chakra will call up creatures made of water - while this has the potential to create something the size of a whale or shark that could keep the target submerged for a length of time, now she can only manage things the size of fish, which essentially do no more damage than offer the same annoyance as a water balloon.
RP Challenge:

Challenge 3: She had been swinging her legs back and forth with a relaxed but happy smile on her lips, giving a little laugh as the wind picked up and brushed thick locks of hair in front of her face. Yuu was in the middle of brushing them back from her line of vision when he spoke, turning her gaze to him as she tucked the last strand back behind her ear. A soft pink blush colored her cheeks and she lowered her gaze shyly before leaning over to place a quick kiss on his cheek before settling back to as she was before, though her hand now settled at her side instead of her lap, open as if to invite him to take her hand, if he wanted.

Challenge 4: As she saw the wave of water moving toward her, it briefly flitted across her mind to call upon her Kogarashi to freeze it where it was at a stand-still, but quickly dismissed it as it would probably end up doing her more harm in the end than the water would have originally. She reached into a pouch, pulling out a thin vial and clasping it in her hand as she had to leap up and to the side to avoid the sword flying at her, but realized a little to late the bullet flying toward her, catching it in her thigh as she came back down to the ground. There was a brief and strangled cry, but she quickly gained control of herself. Her next jutsu didn't require much in the way of strength, but timing was essential.
With the vial held between her hands, Aika's fingers shifted swiftly through the motions. As she felt the cyclonic wind begin developing, she crushed the vial between her hands, continuing the movements to build the wind up further as the drops of liquid were picked up and blended in - the wind taking on color, becoming black as midnight before it picked up enough strength to spiral away across the distance, splitting into two thinner spirals to be able to target both women at once.

Challenge 5: Given the weather outside, Yuu decided that she was in one of her lighter, more playful moods and that she would forego the usual rituals of make-up and pulling up her hair. Instead of her usual outfit, she instead slid into a pair of shorts and a short-sleeved shirt that rose up a little to reveal slight hints of her flat stomach. Pulling on a pair of sandals, she ran out and found herself falling into an easy jog out to the fields to play, as seemed to be the thought of many of the younger children in the village. But her steps slowed to a stop as she passed up a poster that caught her eye, and she went back to look at it.
An eager smile found her lips as she read over the information, and she quickly began looking about for the one hanging them. Spotting her, she ran over with the intent of asking her more about the competition - but saw that the girl seemed to be in a bit of a rush. "Oh... would you like some help?" She offered, holding out her arms to either help her carry some of the things so she could work faster, or to be handed the supplies to go put some up in other places for her.
