  Katashi 
Last Name
Hoseki
===Village===
Kumogakure.
===Appearence===
His very physique beckons the question of his rank of Raikage; he’s shorter and on the leaner side than the others before him.  Standing 6’2” he weighs in around 205Ibs, a man of a lighter persuasion than most of the dark skinned inhabitants of Kumogakure Katashi seems to be of a light caramel tone. No blemishes mark his figure; excluding a large scar placed horizontally across his neck. Katashi can be seen wearing clothing of all black the material seems to be that of lightweight fibers. His attire consists  of several pieces; a V-neck sweater with sleeves rolled up to the base of his forearm, basic shinobi pants, a ragged cloth worn around the waist, and basic grey shinobi sandals. With disheviled shoulder length white hair to frame his youthful face and soft facial features. His eyes a vibrant shade of amber appears to have a single streak of blue just below the iris. Rather than the typical Kumogakure headband he wears a black piece with horn like extensions.  Perhaps by far the oddest piece of equipment he wears is the breathing apparatus on his face that only covers his mouth. The mask is dark in color and has two filtration canisters used primarily for personal reasons.

===Personality===
 Katashi is a man of very few words, albeit sociable, he finds his situation draws far too much attention to him in particularly. Simply he’s not one to be the focus of attention, and despite his disposition he is a well learned combatant. It would be easy to say he takes enjoyment in the simple things, a nice breeze, the calm before a summer storm, or the thick sweet smell of ozone prior to and directly after a shower of rain. He tends to shrug off offensive remarks rather easily to the degree of annoying those few who cast insult his way. With his ominous attire aside the man can come off as very down to earth and has been known to find common ground with anyone he speaks to.
===Kekkei Genkai===
Kongousekiton: Diamond Style is an advanced nature kekkei genkai that randomly manifests itself in various Hoseki clan members, and allows the user to manipulate diamonds. It is a combination of Earth and Yang. The diamonds that this nature creates absorb and amplify lightning. Due to diamond being the hardest natural substance, they are resistant to most physical attacks.
===Element(s)===
Lighting
Earth
Diamond
===Jutsu List(s)===
Summon: Crows
(B-rank)Izutsushi: Katashi is able to shock an opponent with lightning gathered in his hands by touching them with his palms.
(B-rank)Narukami: A natural evolution of his Lightning Palm jutsu, Katashi is also able to project large bolts of lightning from his hands, striking an opponent with electricity from a distance after jumping into the air.
(A-rank)Long-Tou Xi-Hua: Katashi can mold his Raiton chakra into the form of a dragon. The dragon is connected to his body and every movement of it is controlled through precise motions of his hand.
(A-rank)Abrupt Fang: A straight shot of Raiton chakra in the shape of a Dragon, used for sudden mid to long range attacks.
(S-rank)Wyvern Meteor Storm: A jutsu wherein the Dragon Lance is first formed and maneuvered into place before it shatters into hundreds of smaller copies of it and rains down from the sky.
Raiton Kage Bunshin: This technique allows the user to make a shadow clone infused with lightning. Because it is a shadow clone, it is able to perform techniques and interact with the environment due to it having physical substance; and also evenly distributes the user's chakra to each clone. If the clone is injured, it will revert to its natural lightning-state, at the same time electrocuting whatever it is touching.
(B-rank)Raiton Shichu Shibari: Four giant rock pillars are summoned around the enemy, and then shoot bolts of lightning, immobilizing the target and possibly doing damage to them.
Jigokuzuki: The intensity, size and strength of the technique can be proportionally increased by reducing the number of fingers involved: -Four-Finger Nukite ( Yonhon Nukite): Strong enough to break through robust defenses with relative ease. -Three-Finger Nukite ( Sanbon Nukite): Effective against even malleable materials that can usually handle a blow by dissipating its force. -One-Finger Nukite ( IpponNukite): Known as the "strongest spear" , where the concentration of chakra is so great that it extends well beyond the finger in a lone point.
 
Kanmuru: Developed by Katashi as a replacement for the Lightning release armor. With his hair, hands and feet changed into electric type chakra, Katashi’s Kanmuru ability allows him to react and move his body at speeds that would normally be impossible. This ability changes Katashi’s chakra into a field capable of transmitting all electrical impulses from his brain in a straight line directly to the part of the body he wants to use, completely bypassing his nervous system. With the ability focused into two sub-categories.
-Speed of Lightning ( Denkosekka), the ability to move his body according to his own will, used to travel long distances at high speed. This mode is achieved by internalizing the entirety of the Raiton chakra. Physically the body appears to glow a soft hue of blue. The user’s circulatory and nervous system is made visible as root like silhouettes under the skin. Prolonged use can lead to permanent nerve damage and numbness after minutes of activation.
-Whirlwind ( Shippujinrai), the ability to sense his opponents movements and have his body react automatically, which he uses to evade enemy attacks with flawless speed and timing. Kanmuru can only be used for a short amount of time before needing to be recharged. As a counter opposite to Denkosekka, Shippujinrai externalizes the entirety of the Raiton chakra serving as an extension of his nervous system allowing for precise movements. The ability is noted to drain chakra rapidly do to its overall form.
(B-rank)Chidokaku: This technique grants the user the ability to lower or raise the ground in the surrounding area, allowing them to create giant holes or elevations in the ground. The size of the affected area as well as the depths that it is lowered or raised to is also up to the user. With precise timing, this technique can be used to evade incoming attacks, as well as to endanger opponents by moving them into the path of an oncoming attack reducing their reaction time as well as knocking them off balance, making it even harder to avoid the attack. Other than being moved below or above ground — relative to the surrounding surface — the terrain is not altered as plant life and people retain their same positions when this technique is used.
(C-rank)Rock Shelter: The user surrounds them with earth, taken from the immediate vicinity, in order to fabricate a formation of rock that is capable of protecting both the user and others in close proximity, if desired. Doing so, seemingly leaves the surrounding terrain unaltered, even when the quantity of earth used is enough to form a complete dome.
(B-rank) Doton shoheki: The Earth Release Enclosing Wall is a technique where the user creates a solid wall of earth as a form of defense, manipulating a preexisting ground to form the wall. The earth then instantly rises up and takes form. Though weak, the walls can serve as a makeshift blockade when formed by several users, slowing down large, powerful attacks. This technique is apparently extremely simple and basic among Earth Release techniques, and can thus be easily taught to and used by non-primary Earth Release users.
(A-rank) Daichidokaku: This technique grants the user the ability to freely lower or raise the terrain within a specific area surrounding them, in a similar manner to its parent technique, albeit on a much larger scale. This allows them to create giant holes or elevations in the ground
(C-rank)Dosekiryu: The user punches the ground causing the earth to rise underneath them, which releases a wave of dirt.
(C-rank)Naisho Bunshin no Jutsu: This technique allows Katashi to make multiple clones of himself primarily of extremely hard diamonds. These clones when defeated collapse into hundreds of small diamonds. Clones created by this technique are also able to deceive the Hyuga Clan's Kekkai Genkai, the Byakugan.
(No Rank)Naiton no Yoroi: This technique allows the user to cover their body in a layer of diamonds. The armor increases the user's defenses, drastically reducing, if not negating, damage from ninjutsu as well as taijutsu, due to extreme density and hardness of the diamonds. It also increases the strength of the user's physical attacks. The diamond is transparent and can only be noticed by light reflecting off of it.
(A-rank)Kongousekiton: Kekkai no JutsuThis technique allows the user to create a wall of solid diamonds using the Diamond Release element in order to protect themselves from external attacks. This is an extremely powerful defense due to the density of the diamonds.
(A-rank)Naiton: Naitai KotanThe Diamond Release: Birth of Dense Ravine is an A-rank, Offensive, Defensive, and Supplementary Ninjutsu technique used by Katashi Hoseki. This technique allows Katashi to force diamonds to grow on any type of surface, and can easily create a dense fores of diamonds anywhere. This technique can also be used to bind an opponent in a diamond pillar 400 meters tall and explode, causing great devastation.
(C-rank)Naiton:Naijoheki no jutsuThe Diamond Release: Diamond Locking Wall is a C-rank, Offensive and Defensive Ninjutsu technique used by Katashi Hoseki. This technique is an extremely versatile move, as it uses chakra to activate the diamonds in the ground and, using Katashi as a reference point, makes diamond pillars emerge from the ground. The diamond pillars join together in a dome-like shape with Katashi in the center. This process can be used to catch an enemy in a double sided attack. Also, in case one confronts the enemy at a short distance, the enemy can be locked inside of the dome, setting the situation for a one-on-one fight. This dome is resistant to attempts to shatter or burn it from the inside. Furthermore, this technique functions as an easy shelter against an enemy's long-ranged attacks, like shuriken or kunai knives.
Basic form
Katashi is also a highly formidable hand-to-hand combatant, able to fight on equal grounds with such highly skilled and dangerous fighters as the previous Raikage. Despite his small and lean physique, Katashi possesses tremendous strength and endurance bordering on superhuman, able to endure with only minor damage blunt force trauma that would render most people unconscious or crippled. His punches are able to easily plow through solid surfaces and his strength is able to nonchalantly move large and heavy objects out of the way. Given his size, he has been noted to be inhumanly fast and agile, able to dodge and maneuver against close-range attacks with surprising balance and efficiency. Katashi's combat style resembles boxing using strong and swift punches to overwhelm an opponent and agile dodges and swift footwork to evade attacks.
Intermediate form
Katashi Hoseki utilizes a style of nin-taijutsu that has apparently been passed down the Hoseki line for generations and mixes ninjutsu skill with physical prowess. With the aid of either his bare hands or his Batsuhatsu basuto, Katashi forms objects of earth, or lightning mainly by punching them after the proper hand seals have been formed. It is possible that this method transfers the kinetic energy of his blows into the jutsu, enhancing the speed and force of his ninjutsu techniques, since he mainly uses Doton to rapidly produce large stone spires, walls or other objects from the earth at a rate matching that of Iwagakurian chunin/jounin. Additionally, the Hoseki style allows Katashi to double as a source of heavy artillery, turning raw stone or brickwork into projectiles which are then launched with the force of his punch. With his Nin-taijutsu being combined with hand to hand combat, it is notable that Katashi is the first of the few Shinobi to survive a direct fight with the previous Raikage.
Advanced/ Battle mode
While under the affects of Kanmuru Katashi uses a form of fighting style that uses stand-up striking along with various clinching techniques. This physical and mental discipline which includes combat on foot is known as "the art of eight limbs" because it is characterized by the combined use of fists, elbows, knees, shins and feet, being associated with a good physical preparation that makes a full-contact fighter very efficient. His stance resembles that of Muay Thai, with blows capable of shattering bone, splitting flesh, temporary paralysis, and long term damages. It is under this strict and rigorous fighting style he was primarily trained from an early age. Forms of practice include; kicking palm trees with your bare shin, the breaking and healing of bone and physical beat downs. Combined they help build a formidable combatant capable of handling most situations.
===Ninja Tools===
x10 Kunai- The kunai is one of the most basic tools for a ninja, as you can attach explosive tags upon it and also be used for cutting or stabbing. It can also be thrown at a target at a distance. Many ninja use this tool because of its wide versatility.
x10 Shuriken- Like the kunai these are one of the most basic of ninja tools. As they are usually four pronged metal weapons for throwing purposes and like many other weapons could be laced with poison or neurotoxins.
x2 Wire spool- A tightly coiled high tensile wire, capable of various uses  such as but not limited to; strangulation apparatus, tripwire, ensnarement, and binding.  Each bundle is roughly ninty-feet in length, braided for durability and is made of tough lightweight material.
x10 Senbon- Senbon are metal needles with a point at both ends. They often serve a medical purpose, being used to strike acupuncture points. They have little killing power, but can be thrown with great accuracy. A user with proper medical knowledge however, can effectively use senbon in battle to incapacitate or even kill their target should they aim for vital spots. To make these needles more effective, the user can poison the tips of the senbon. An added benefit of throwing these at the enemy is that these are smaller than a kunai or a shuriken, making it harder to see and dodge.
x5 Medical Bandage- Lenin bandages used to field dress minor wounds.
x5 Explosive Tags- These tags are special pieces of paper with the kanji word of "explode" inscribed upon them. These are one of the most basic of ninja tools for they can be either singularly used or wrapped around that of another or placed upon any surface. These tags can be used remotely or ignited by that of flame and can also explode upon contact with the target.
   x5 Explosive Tag Balls- This tool is simply a ball made of Explosive tags and are usually used in the same manner of that of a cannon ball with an added boost of explosive effect as they are capable of dealing heavy damage. These balls can also be used as mines in water surfaces or can be thrown by its user.   x5 Flash Bombs- These are used for diversions, creating a blinding light when they detonate. These Spheres usually look like simply paper tightly wrapped into small balls.
x5 Smoke Bombs- This tool is a ball shaped one for when it detonates it will create a large cloud of dust. Used manly for a quick escape route or in order to blind ones target.
x2 Military Rations Pills- These special pills are capable of replenishing ones chakra and nourish the body. It is made up of powerful stimulants that is said that one who uses this can fight for three days and nights without rest.
x2 Basic Medical kit- Antibiotics, Disinfectent, HydrogenPeroxide, needle/ stitches.
===Weapon(s) of Choice===
Knuckle Dusters: Bakuhatsu basuto( Exploding burst.) Knuckle dusters are weapons used in hand-to-hand combat. Knuckle dusters are pieces of metal shaped to fit around the knuckles. Despite their name, they are usually made of steel. Designed to preserve and concentrate a punch's force by directing it toward a harder and smaller contact area, they result in increased tissue disruption, including an increased likelihood of fracturing the victim's bones on impact. The extended and rounded palm grip also spreads across the attacker's palm the counter-force that would otherwise be absorbed primarily by the attacker's fingers, reducing the likelihood of damage to the attacker's fingers. Katashi is capable of either absorbing chakra of focusing it into the body of the aforementioned weapons, which upon impact can release sudden bursts of raw energy. The expulsion of energy can exceed bone breaking force if enough chakra is used.

===Backstory===
Background:Growing up in a time of peace, Katashi was a single child born to Kosai and Kana Hoseki. For the most part there wasn’t much conflict; outside of inter-clan disputes and territorial claims. Born into a highly political family within Kumogakure, Katashi was the future heir to not only the Hoseki clan but all the secrets and fortunes that came with it. His family ties ensured him a proper upbringing within the social system of the village. On several occasions he could fondly remember visiting the Raikages Mansion. His upbringing had mostly centered on his grooming as an expert shinobi, and the mastery of his clans kekkei genkai. As a young man his father had left both him and his mother, while as an adult he continued to strive for the greatness his father had expected of him. Hoping to one day reach the rank of Lord Raikage.
