Name: Niko Hokori
Gender: Male
Age: 12
Village: Sand/Sunagakure
Jutsu type: Wind Style/Shinzu’s Carving
Shinzu’s Carving is a hiden exclusive to the Hokori clan as it involves literally carving a unique seal into members chests at birth. The seal in question essentially gives clan members a second chakra affinity- Yang Release.
Akin to the Akimichi Clan, who utilize Yang Release to increase the size of body parts, the Hiroshi clan utilizes Yang Release to produce duplicate body parts from anywhere on their person.
Common uses for this Hiden involve creating duplicate limbs, eyes, mouths, etc. These duplicate body parts are completely real/functional and can be utilized just the same as their original counterparts.
Description: Niko is of a relatively average height with a slim, nimble build and sun-kissed skin.
His dirty blonde, mid-length hair is pushed back into a messy middle part.
He has sharp, almond shaped eyes which give off a hint of judgement. This is offset by his inviting, bright green eye color.
He wears an open, beige-colored jacket with his sleeves rolled up to the elbow. His Suna Headband is tied off around the lower left bicep of his left arm, just beneath his shirt and jacket. Underneath resides a grey, short sleeve undershirt lined in woven mesh.
He’s got a black bandana around his neck, which is often used while traveling through dust storms in the land of wind.
His hands are tightly bound in simple, white training wraps.
He wears standard issue Shinobi pants and sandals, both in black with white wraps, as to match the rest of his attire.
Bio: Niko was born into a family of hard working Shinobi, deep within Sunagakure’s tightly winding streets.
His mother, Kana Hokori, worked part-time as a secretary on the lower floors of the Hokage’s Office-Building. Despite her unthreatening demeanor, Kana held the rank of Tobuketsu Jonin, allowing her the ability to take on various, mid tier, solo missions with relative ease.
His father, Hyōryū Hokori, was a high ranking Jonin who specialized in sealing Jutsu. Hyōryū utilized his sealing prowess to act as a well respected courier for Suna.
Many would say Niko had a relatively privileged upbringing, and he himself wouldn’t deny it being so.
Due to his parents busy lifestyles, the Suna child would primarily be raised by his grandparents, who were rather lenient role models.
What’s more, he was an only child, so all the love, gifts, and attention were sent his way.
Despite what some might’ve thought, the Suna boy had actually managed to remain fairly humble, even with a life of relative luxury.
This was mostly thanks to the fact that Niko was observant.
He noticed that his friends families would often struggle quite a bit more than his. He noticed the steadily increasing number of homeless veteran Shinobi appearing throughout the Sand. He noticed the ever-growing stress the adults around him attempted to mask behind a thin veil of assurance.
Niko knew the Sand was slowly falling from grace, and he’d do whatever necessary to change that.
Likes: Sweets, nighttime, training, cynicism.
Dislikes: unnecessarily loud people, hot weather, seafood, a lack of humor.
