Xeljuron Kuroto

Kuroto Xeljuron (xel)

appearance

Standing at 5'11" doesn't make Xel the tallest or most impressive in stature there is to offer. His physique is toned and defined to a degree, but overall he can be considered to be on the thinner side compared to some of his buff counterparts. His most notable features are his legs and backside, where he tends to train most of his physique and abilities in his legs. His dark, black (with a hint of blue), hair falls to a decent medium length where some would agree he should get it just slightly shorter. Occasionally, usually before a longer mission, he will get a crew cut and have it significantly shorter than what is usually is. He keeps it neat no matter what though. His appearance means a little more to him than most given his personality. His skin is slightly tanned thanks to always being outside doing his business, and on the face and torso it seems as if there is not a mark on him. All of his scars are located on his lower back stretching down to his legs and feet. His scars stem from his specific fighting style and rigorous training.

Xel’s eyes are a deep green color, and his expression is usually a blank one unless around people he is use to. He is considered to be handsome in a “I’m a bit of a stiff” way. The only intimidating aspect of Xel would be in his eyes. The glares and evil looks he can give if provoked can be intimidating. In no way is his figure, posture or demeanor rugged or intimidating. In fact this somewhat less intimidating outlook would be an excellent reason as to why people would want to pick a fight with him. His style of clothing consists of white pants that always have pockets, his utilities pouch located on his upper right leg, and a cut off shirt that exposes his arms and part of his chest. The shirt is usually skin tight, leaving little to the imagination.

The quiet guy in the corner of the room at a college party. Little do you know that he is actually very interesting to talk to, and could perhaps be one of the best, and most influential people, you will ever meet. While his charisma is not always shown on the outside right away, there is a leadership quality to Xel that not everyone gets to see. He is a very calculative person, and he never deviates from the objective. In a friendly setting he is always quiet and seems to be a bit of a loner to most people. In reality Xel enjoys being around people. Well, he enjoys being around smart and intelligent people. There is a long list of people and personalities he doesn’t like, but over time (in more recent years) he’s been exposed to more and is opening up more and more.

If you need something done, Xel is the one for the job. Any job, really. He works incredibly hard at any task given to him, no matter how small. One of the down flaws to that, however, is that at times he can make a big deal out of a task that is no big deal at all. This side of him makes him hard to work with occasionally. He doesn't believe in giving up or failure, so he will push everything to the limits before giving into anything remotely close to failure or otherwise disappointment. This side of him makes him an excellent team or group member. You have to give and take with Xel.


He doesn’t have a huge list of directly close friends, but Xel has gone around the village over the years and has gotten to know most by a first name basis that he encounters day to day, and is not directly rude or overly friendly with any of them. He never makes the first move in anything (including combat unless specified). While he seems to be to himself unless provoked, Xel is actually very confident in his abilities and personality. He never has awkward feelings or discomfort, and believes that being blunt and to the point is always best in a situation. This method has worked for a few people for him to become fairly close to (friends, rivals, etc.) but at the same time it has caused him to face some adversity with several people who do not appreciate blunt honesty all the time. 

Overall Xel is a valuable person to have on your side in a team, if you can suffer through the quirks of his perfectionist persona. 

history

The Kuroto clan (possible clan creation in the future) followed Mizuno Nagisa to the east during the great migration. The Kuroto clan gave birth to twin boys 16 years ago, where one would eventually grow up to be a smith and the other a shinobi. Together these two young boys, Xeljuron and Gintan, grew up in an era of prosperity and success for their village Umikagure. The Kuroto brothers have been brought up knowing their family's importance to the village, but above all the clan values justice and order. This moral mentality of justice was embroidered into Xel at an early age, and since then he has developed his own sense of justice and duty. 

At an early age it became apparent that unlike their father and mother, Xel's twin brother, Gintan, would not possess the prowess and abilities needed to become a full fledged ninja. Xel's abilities became highly valued in the family, and the "more gifted" twin knew that his brother was bound to be left out once the real world grabbed both of them out of childhood. Throughout their childhood Xel rarely left his brother's side. His brother would come to watch him train, and eventually it became impossible for Gintan to help Xel with further development. It was then that both of the brothers, at the age of 10, had a great idea.

Xel and Gintan's father, Akuma, brought his brother into their household. Over the next two years a forge was built in conjunction with the homestead in the middle of the clan's section of the village. The next 3 years would introduce Umigakure to a new wave of metal crafting and tool building. As Xel excelled in the Academy, his twin brother excelled in his apprenticeship as a blacksmith and weapons maker. 

Upon graduating from the ninja academy Xel was bestowed with a gift from his, now recognized as extremely talented and gifted, brother. This gift was a pair of greaves which he can utilize in combat. Since receiving these greaves Xel vowed to his brother that he would not use a ninja tool in combat unless Gintan made it himself. 

Knowing that he grew up in a somewhat renown clan in the village, Xel finds himself at a crossroad in the ninja world as an appointed Genin. This path he is about to travel will be a long and arduous one, and only time, and the people he encounters, will determine how his fate will be decided.

Hit and run. Basically  Xel develops strategies before diving into a combat situation, and most of his strategies start with a hit and run tactic in order to get the feel of the opponent before going in for killing blows. With any luck and power on his side the battle ends during the hit and run portion of combat. Xel uses his superior speed to outmaneuver his opponents usually. His legs do most of the work, relying on kicking techniques rather than punching. These techniques have a lot of force behind them due to the speeds at which he moves, and over time his legs and power will only become stronger. Accompanying his kicking prowess are two sets of greaves that Xel had made with his brother and father. Since none of them could become ninja they helped him along the way the best they could, and that was to provide him with leg protection and giving him an extra boost in power thanks to the metal's durability (compared to that of a normal human's leg). 

Xel trains with weights on his legs in order to ensure the greaves do not hinder him in any way. In fact he wears them on missions and around daily life under his pants, taking them off only when needed in order to fight. With the weights on his speed is cut in half of what it would normally be. With his fast and powerful kicking techniques Xel utilizes the elements of his fire and earth release ninjutsu to amplify his taijutsu.

Name: katon no senkou yoroi (Fire Flash Armor)
Rank: D-C Rank
Classification: Ninjutsu - Taijutsu support
Chakra: 5/8
Range: Personal - short distance
Looks: Flames appear around Xel's body after being shot out from his mouth to envelope him. Concentrations of flames can be focused on certain parts of the body (more flames on the legs than anywhere else on the body). The flames are a bright red and orange color, slightly off from the normal orange and yellow hue of fire.
Skill: Simply put Xel is capable of focusing his fire release techniques to coat his body in flames. The flames don't really add protection except for being hot (fire is hot), but the aspect of the armor is to amplify the speed, power, and destructive force of Xel's taijutsu techniques. The flames can produce a massively destructive force thanks to Xel's amplifying chakra. The speed of his techniques are amplified thanks to the propulsion the flames exhibit at the bottoms of his feet and on his back and arms (sort of like a jet-pack effect).
