Basic Character Information:Name: Kemikaza, Hotaru
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Clan: Kemikaza
Looks:Hotaru’s hair is one thing that sticks out about him. It is a natural red color and is spiky and mess and sticks out in most directions. It is messy in shape though cleaned fair enough. His eyes are a bit darker forms of red and the irises are seemingly larger than they should be and almost look like they lack a black pupil in the center, though it could be seen if looked for. His skin is white and his teeth seem sharper than normal Humans, almost fiend like fangs. He is short for his age as well as thin and underweight.
His shirt is black and sleeveless. The only part on his shirt that isn’t black in the bottom edge of it, which is designed to look like burning flames running along it. The top of the flames are a dark red, the middle is a fiery orange color while the closet to the edge of the shirt is a flaming yellow color. His pants have similar design on their bottom edges right at his ankles. The pants are basic and only have two pockets on the sides and back. His clothing is light and easy to move in. He walks around barefoot all the time. On his arms are two steel bracelets per arm, two on both of his upper arms and two others on both of his wrists. He wears a black belt around his waist. His kunai holster is on his right leg and shuriken pouch right hip towards the back. He often wears a black cloak instead of the suggested Akatsuki cloak.
In his Skeleton Form
Personality:Hotaru can’t be exactly said to be all there in the head. He has many different ways he could act depending on things that don’t even make sense to the people around him. Sure, he can be a nice person, a good friend, and talkative to people but that’s just what happens. He treats most people the same depending on how they treat him mostly, girls and boys are almost the same to him when being friends, though he knows clearly the boundaries between friends and a relationship.
Hotaru’s tendencies towards people of authority are that of normal. He will follow orders, mostly depending on if he feels like it or not. He will often do it and follows orders though will try to procrastinate somehow without screwing everything up in the end, he often figures out how to do this. He will react well to people that he respects and friends.
Hotaru, like stated before, is not right in the head and has a different view of the world around him than most. Along with the fact that he just doesn’t care, things can happen to him, his friends, remaining family, he will move on shortly after. He doesn’t mind killing and will if he has to; or even wants to for that matter. He is a slight cannibal and will resort to eating Human flesh if he has to, though he would rather eat normal food. This basically says about him that he is bent on survival even at the unneeded excuses, despite that he says things like “I don’t care if I die” a lot.
When fighting, Hotaru is often reckless and lets his anger take control during a fight. He is a very short-tempered person and will get angered over small things when in a tense situation. He will try to strike hard even in training with friends, he doesn’t know when or where someone is suppose to hold on during a fight and not go all out.

Death's Scythe
This Scythe is seemingly made of pure darkness. Though it is very quite real. It is almost invisible during the night and in motion. The effects of the Scythe are in three different forms, only one of the first two can be used at a time. One is that every strike will make the victim more and more afraid of the weilding against their will. Once seven strikes have been laid on them, they will beyond afraid. The second is that it lowers their will moderately each strike. After seven strikes have been laid, the target's will will have been broken completely and they won't have the motive or will to do anything at all, not fight back, not flee, not anything besides sit there and watch their fate unfold. If anyone besides Kemikaza, Hotaru or Kemikaza, Akia try to use this weapon they will automatically effected with both effects up to four strikes.
After twenty strikes with the user will be inflicted with a curse that will kill them slowly, and only slightly weakening them over the course of the time. It can be lifted by spilling a gallon of blood in a ritual and burning the wound closed, cannot be your own blood. The Scythe is stored in a seal in Hotaru's right palm, the seal seems extremely unnatural and looks like a pentagram. When it is pulled out of the seal it seems to be unnaturally ripped into reality.
History and RP SampleHistory:Childhood
Hotaru was born as the oldest of three sons into a simplistic family. Neither his father nor mother wanted their children to become Shinobi so it was never brought up and was avoided a lot. Shortly after his brothers were born, twins, his father left never to be seen again but the mother didn't care and seemed happy about it. Hotaru didn’t understand this and didn’t bother to think about it too much. At the age of four his mother died of a disease that has run on her side of the family. Symptoms are at first the same as a head cold, if it continues the blood veins will decrease in size by more than half causing less blood and oxygen to get around the body and if too much energy is up you can over exert yourself and die. It feels like all of your organs are going to explode from the inside out. It is triggered by simple allergies and can be stopped before spreading in the body, but Hotaru's mother kept saying she wasn't sick. The three brothers were at their grandfathers when she died and when the grandfather got word of what happened he was shocked. He told Hotaru and his brothers, who were still till young to really understand but Hotaru understood and he thought it was hoping it was a joke. But his Grandfather insisted that it wasn't one. He felt terribly sad and kept telling himself it wasn't ture, but sooner or later he had to admit the truth to himself. So from that point on they lived with their Grandfather.
The Grandfather was a former Jounin and he got the three brothers involved in the ninja program after three years of them living with him. He thought them basic fight styles and about Chakra. It was hard work but they learned quickly and felt proud of themselves when they did something right. After a while the grandfather was accused of murder of a innocent person in the village. He refused to stand trial and was sent to jail for a few years, charged guilty. He died there because they weren’t allowed to hold their own medicine and the jail guards couldn't get him his medicine fast enough one day and he had a severe heart attack. The three brothers felt horrible about all of it and had no one left but themselves in Konoha. They did have an uncle out of Konoha but Hotaru planned to join the academy soon and his brothers were going to follow a year after.
Academy Student Arc
He joined the Academy to be able to protect his remaining family. He joined at the age of eight. Didn't have any difficulty with it, besides escape technique for he was very bad with knocks and ropes. The Henge no Jutsu was one of the first Jutsu they thought to the class, there few a few people who had trouble with it but he got the hang of it in a day or two. After everyone finished that the class moved onto Nawanuke no Jutsu. ThatÂ’s where he had trouble. The first on that they were tied up outside at around the end of the day, once they were out they could leave and if they were in there too long they would get untied with a failing grade on that. Of course he was one of or only one to fail at it, he was stuck for an hour or so. He continued to fail this test a total of three times before he passed it. Pretty much after that it almost all went like Henge no Jutsu.
After a year of being there he started to move away from the other students, and tried to not be part of the crowd. Those people that just regularly made fun of people, he just ignored them or just backed up what they were saying, and when someone asked why he doesn't try to stand up for himself or why he helps them make fun of himself, his answer was "I am not making fun of myself I am ignoring and not caring what they say to me and helping them feel better about their self by letting them think that they are really making fun of me." He had some friends, the kind that you just see daily and not see after academy, and some people that hated him for no reason, and he never really cared about those people.
During his years in the Academy, when put into a new class he showed up a half a day late or so in the middle of a lesson. This was where he met his future teammates, Mashiro Nakamura and Kiyoshi Takomi. They were in the lesson that they were to take our three Sand Clones by the Chuunin teacher. Hotaru, showing up late, was yelled at by Mashiro and told to go first in the attack. He did so and was able to cut down one of the clones by surprise or just plan luck.
The other two clones were harder and the three of them relied on Kiyoshi’s ability to drain chakra away from the clones and beat one of the Sand Clones, that was turned into a Glass Clone from an explosion, down and it shattered. He graduated from the academy shortly after that but wasn’t put on a team right away.
Genin Arc
As a Genin Hotaru didn’t do much for a while. There wasn’t much going on in the village though he challenged Mashiro and Kiyoshi to a three way fight. Mashiro told them that they were to sign up for a team together that day and they insisted on staying to fight first. The fight didn’t seem to involve Mashiro much but more between Hotaru and Kiyoshi. In the end after a lot of chakra lose and destruction Kiyoshi ended up winning the fight by setting up a trap with his clones.
After they were put on a team their team leaders didn’t seem to work right. They were constantly getting assigned new leaders and then they would vanish or something. The longest they had one leader was for about a month, on top of this Mashiro was constantly disappearing for months at a time. They got this leader after they went on a mission to Kumogakure with the former Hokage Kojiro Takezu. They were going to help with the war effort but when they got there everything was destroyed and the village was being rebuilt. They turned around for some reason at the pick of the Hokage and left the village, with three Kumogakure Genin going with them back to Konohagakure.
With this new leader Hotaru got into a spar with her and lost after putting up a good fight. Though he hoped they would be able to do some missions by now something happened and this leader vanished too, as well as Mashiro once more. He decided to just give up on stuff like that and focus on the Chuunin Exams that were coming up.
He spent a handful of his time training when he could, the rest of the time sleeping or reading. It all lead up to taking the Chuunin Exams with Kiyoshi in Iwagakure, and the first Exam of the Chuunin Exams, they had to get to the top of a cliff and they would move on. Hotaru doesn’t know what happened but all he knows was that he failed the first Exam and he got to watch Kiyoshi go on to the next round. He didn’t stick around in Iwagakure much and left the village soon thereafter.
While in Konohagakure again he didn’t do much with his time. Kiyoshi had been promoted to Chuunin and Hotaru only continued to train as a Genin. Sure the ranks were different but Hotaru could still beat him in a figh… oh wait Kiyoshi could win even back in the day. Oh well, it didn’t matter too much. Though one day in Konoha, after telling someone to suck it up and move on the newest Hokage, Kuzagi showed up to Hotaru and cussed at him. He wasn’t sure but then she started to tell him to do things, like carry her somewhere and at a Bar she ended up explaining how he was going to be doing all of her office work, and basically everything else she said. He didn’t have a choice but he decided to go along with it anyways. He didn’t care, being close to the Hokage like this could end very useful to him and he was bored.
Hotaru ended up being stuck in the Hokage’s office a lot; though he knew what to do and could sort through the paper work easily he just didn’t because he was lazy and procrastinated on it a lot. He ended up seeing quite a few faces he knew in the office and was able to get away from it a lot.
Kuzagi trained Hotaru when she felt like it and he ended up getting first hand training from a Kage which turned out well for him. She ended up promoting him to her personal Jounin though he wasn’t as strong as most Jounin he would accept the rank and title.
Jounin Arc
Hotaru continued to train himself to get better so he can feel as if he actually earns the rank of Jounin. He is still doing, procrastinating, office work and training in his spare time to get better. He could only wonder what Kiyoshi and Mashiro have been doing with their time. He missed the old team, a bit. After a while, he seemed to just vanish from the village. He didn’t exactly know why, but he just bailed on the place. Seemingly in no desire to stay either, though afterwards, he was picked up by Akatsuki for his abilities.
