Gingitsune Tsuribakki

## **Unique Traits**

Able to perform Jutsu handsigns while his hands are concealed. I.E. Under a cloth, behind his back, or in pitch black darkness.

## **Scars/Tattoos**

A scar across his back at the result of misuse with a gardening hoe. It is diagonal, and stretches from just below his left shoulder to his right flank.

## **Personality and Behaviour**

While being mostly unbiased, Gin shows an apparent love for
doing the right thing on occasion rather than looking like a complete goody two
shoes. His in-the-middle attitude has an accord with his everlasting half-smirk;
no matter the circumstance he always seems to have one plastered upon his
expression. Often confusing those around him, or causing unease in a sense that
his intentions will forever be under lock and key. Far from a softie on the
inside either, he does show a bit more compassion to comrades; the level of
such grows the closer a comrade is to him, the strongest feelings he has are
towards his squad mates. Despite such factors he is still quite the social
butterfly, he isn’t shy to speak his mind, but does have trouble keeping quiet
when he shouldn’t speak at all. His manners are quite reformed in the presence
of superiors, other than those above him in rank that have become good friends.
Etiquette follows the standard, polite usage of honorifics; ‘-sama’ for
superiors, ‘-chan’ or ‘-san’ for equals and those lesser in ability or rank.
Socially, when not conducting business such as an assignment or a meeting, Gin
comes across as very lax but playful when squad mates or friends are involved.
In the end, the young teen’s only unshakable passion are gardening and making
onigiri; no friend nor foe escape his wrath when they come in between these
activities unless it is meant to be a helpful hand. He can become especially
angry when people deface his garden, or negatively affect with it or his
onigiri; whether or not it was on purpose.

## **Likes/Dislikes**

Likes: Flowers, cats, gardening, and onigiri

Dislikes: Dogs, birds, crop-destroying insects and parasites, onigiri thieves.

Suiton: Teppōuo - The user simply creates a jet of water that can be used to extinguish fire.

Suiton: Suijun - The user launches a ball of water that turns into a water shield that knocks the opponent back when sloped. Any attacks that are launched against the water shield can also be repelled.

Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu - This technique is similar to the Shadow Clone Technique except it creates clones that are made out of water. Also, unlike shadow clones, water clones hold only one-tenth of the original person's power. Like other solid clone techniques, the clones can be used to perform tasks the user is unable or unwilling to do for themselves. The range of the clone is limited however, as it can not travel very far from the original body without losing control. Like other clone techniques, if the water clones are injured enough they will revert to normal water.

## **Background Information**

**Childhood/Academy Years:**

☀Born in a small hamlet just outside of Hoshigakure to
farmers that barely produced enough crops to sell to better their lot in life.
His mother and father seamlessly made ends meet though, cherishing their son
and nurturing him accordingly. Gin has no past of child abuse, no terrible
tragedies to be avenged; in fact he had a pretty neat childhood. His interest
in Shinobi came about when he was about six; he met a young boy who would most
likely become his oldest friend if the future granted such, a wandering boy who
had some skills already. At first he supposed the young one was simply lost,
but soon he found a connection; one day he came across the boy practicing
Ninjutsu, he was so intrigued that he asked if the boy could show him some techniques.
Unfortunately he hadn’t the affinity for Earth Release, so it was fruitless,
but he did learn hand signs for a simple Water Release Jutsu; in the end he
found that he enjoyed doing such, and soon he even introduced the boy to his
parents. Caring as they are, they offered him a place to live. It wasn’t long
until Gin dubbed him brother; he was beside himself with love for his newly
found family. Gin would follow a different path however; he found gardening
more interesting than constantly training for the Academy. Gardening brought
out peacefulness in the farmboy, it didn’t have to be flowers; he set aside a
small patch of soil for himself closer to his family’s ranch home to allow him
the ability to plant different kinds of seeds. Corn to carrots, tomatoes to pumpkins,
anything he could add; besides growing them for food, he did so to conduct
research. What worked, what didn’t work, what grew the best, what grew the
worst. The quickest to ripen, the easiest to wither away; all of these tests he
jots down in a small leather notebook, even to this day.  Some might say he is overbearing when it comes
to his greenthumb. His favorite foliage to nurture by far, are Momos; beautiful
peachy flowers that have trouble growing at his home or even blooming. Despite
all of this, he still does have a passion for the art of Nin, and wants to be a
Shinobi without a doubt, but gardening is definitely his most favorite
hobby.  He hopes his Team, Jonin and
Genin alike don’t find his activities strange.
