Name: Kurama Yako
Age: 14

Skill(s):
Stats
Unique Abilities:
In the zone
One-handed seals
Chemistry expertise
Snooty
Appearance:
Like many of the Kurama clan, Yako is physically a rather unimposing figure. He is a frail, pale looking boy that stands a mere 156 cm tall. He has thin, light blonde hair that reaches to his shoulders and is usually combed a bit backwards. Despite this initial appearance, his movements are quick and decisive and his beady, green eyes carry a piercing stare that radiates a level of strength and authority.
Yako's clothing varies. Generally speaking, he wears a comfortable, oversized, white and yellow coat as a way for him to flaunt the fact that he works with the mind instead of his body, but also because it is comfortable and has a lot of pockets. Depending on the mission, he may dress more tactically when he thinks the situation requires is.
History:
Yako's life so far has been fairly uneventful. Born to two members from the Kumogakure Kurama branch, it was obvious from the start that Yako would become a shinobi like his parents Yako relished the idea. While his hunger for knowledge about shinobi, and the world around them, was happily fed from within the family, his hobbies left the boy somewhat isolated and not as well connected to his peers in the academy as would have been good for his already somewhat maladjusted personality.
Now graduated from the academy and a fresh genin, Yako is ready to learn, put his skills into practice and make name as a shinobi.
Personality:
Clever
The first word most would use to describe Yako would be "clever". Ever since he was young(er), Yako has not only had good wit, but also a fondness of learning for the sake of learning. As a result, he grew up into what you would expect him to: a well spoken boy with a lot of general knowledge who is quick to think on his feet. Those who know him better however may see that his demeanour is not just a product of his intelligence, but also comes from a place of insecurity. He is desperate to prove himself and live up to the level of wit and skill people seem to think he has.
Arrogant
Yako does not only protect his ego by clinging on to a mask of polite, calculated bookworm: Given the chance, he also - subtly or less subtly - pecks on the people he sees as inferior to him to establish what he consideres the right order in a social situation. As a result, Yako is often seen as a rather unpleasant, arrogant individual to work with. Despite this, his wit and politeness do often manage to win over the people that he considers valuable (albeit as a bit of a suck-up) and given the right partner that has his respect, Yako might be a surpisingly pleasant brother in arms.
Proud and loyal
Surprisingly to some given his reputation as a snooty asshole, Yako does have a fairly strong moral code and is very loyal and reliable. Betrayal and dishonestly, he feels, are below him. He takes great pride in what he does and gives everything he undertakes his best shot, even if he feels that a certain task or person is below him.
Calm and patient
While he can have movements of genuine emotion, Yako generally has his emotions in the back seat and his rationality in the front seat. He can be very cold and calculated if a situation requires it and dedicate himself to certain skills or problems with almost zealous discipline. His utilitatian approach sometimes clashes with those who are a little warmer of heart or hot spirited.

Unique Abilities:
In the zone
- Spoiler:
Yako has an affinity with and fondness of puzzling, learning and inventing. At the cost of 5 CP, he can get "in the zone" and dedicate his energy and attention towards working on a specific subject, temporarily increasing his intelligence by 1 rank. While "in the zone, Yako can appear rather absent-minded and has little attention for his surroundings, decreasing his perception by 1 rank.
This state remains active until it is toggled off or until Yako leaves the thread.
One-handed seals
- Spoiler:
For use in clutch situations, Yako has learnt how to perform hand seals with only a single hand. While he is technically capable of performing them, he is not nearly as proficient with them as he is with regular hand seals. As a result, Yako's coordination is considered 1 tier lower for the purpose of weaving hand seals when doing so with a single hand.
Chemistry expertise
- Spoiler:
Because of his keen interest in the medical side of shinobi warfare, Yako is more familiar with biology and chemistry than most genin would be at this stage. When making chemistry creations, he may produce products of one tier higher than his level of experience would actually allow.
However, product made by Yako when punching above his weight in this fashion are of inferior quality when compared to those made by actual experts. This is reflected by cooldowns (medicines and provisions) and countdowns (poisons and drug) of these products being increased to that of the next rank increased by 0,5 (rounded up).
Snooty
- Spoiler:
Yako can be quite snooty is is generally unliked by his peers. He has a way of levelling with and sucking up to the people that he deems intelligent, capable and valuable that helps him to deal with NPC's with higher intelligence than his, especially in a professional, urban environment. However, his mask of politeness gains a few cracks when dealing with "bumpkins", which makes it more difficult for him to deal with NPC's with lower intelligence than his, especially in a rural setting. This includes animals with lower intelligence than his. He can't tell what they are thinking and that shit scares him.
Interactions with NPC's of equal intelligence are unaffected. Boosts and debuffs may affect this unique ability, meaning that Yako will be more inclined to be rude when he is in the zone or when someone else loses intelligence.
