Name: Senju Rinji
Name Meaning: Rinji meaning “Peaceful Forest”
Nickname(s): His mother and grandparents call him little leek because of his hair color, but beyond that none ATM.
Title(s): Konoha's White Lightning (self proclaimed)
Age: 14
Gender: Male
Notable Features: He has highly unruly white hair, that tapers to a bluish tint in the back. He ties it into a pony tail in the back. Along with that he has auburn eyes that greatly contrast with his hair. Also he wears his forehead protector tied around his left arm.

Personality: Rinji is a generally fun loving and happy young man. Even though he hasn't experienced much success with his abilities, he almost never lets it get him down. That being said, he tends to have a one track mind and gets tunnel vision whenever he finds something he cares about. So without being lazy, he can neglect some things while spending far to much time in pursuit of others. He’s the kind of person to get sick form eating too many sweets. He is also a completely honest person, though when a situation he is in becomes uncomfortable, (like conversation about his father), he immediately clams up into much more of a shy personality.

History: Rinji was born the son of a recently re-appeared Senju clan member and a bun maker in Konoha. His father was inducted into the ANBU as a relatively young man and was a highly valued asset due to his lineage and mastery of the Wood Release. Though he found a simple and hardworking wife that was the heir of a bun-making shop near the center of the village.

During his early childhood, Rinji’s father resigned from his position within the ANBU, wanting to spend time with his family. However the man returned when one of friends and old squad mates was killed on a mission by a rouge ninja of the mist. Rinji’s father thought of the woman as a sister and blamed himself for her death, since he was not there to help her. So when Rinji was around 4 his father returned to the ANBU.

In the following years, Rinji didn’t see his father much due to his position within the ANBU. Still, his mother tried to make the best of it and he was able to spend a lot time with his mother’s parents and grandfather, who lived with them in the bun-shop. Rinji’s great-grandfather used to tell him stories from the many things he had seen during his lifetime, mostly the exploits of the village’s ninja. The old man mostly sang the praises of a man with white hair and told legends of his amazing lightning techniques. One specific story always stuck out to Rinji. One where the apprentice of the white haired man did battle with a sand demon while using a technique that made singing lightning erupt from his hand.

His great-grandfather's stories and his father’s linage were more than enough that Rinji began to attend the Ninja Academy. Though his obsession with lightning based techniques and general disinterest with basic ninjutsu along with those he had an affinity toward made it a steep road. It would be quite a while before he was able to graduate, being held back a few times.

Yet it has finally happened, he was finally able to graduate this year and is ecstatic about joining his squad.

Skills and Abilities

Ninjutsu - As with most things Rinji is slightly behind the curve in his knowledge of ninjutsu. It takes him a bit longer than most his age to perform ninjutsu. Though through his obsession with lightning based ninjutsu has led to him being marginally proficient in a few of that type of technique.

Genjutsu - This is the one that allays gets Rinji when his opponents use it. He cant ever figure out how to counter these types of attacks. Not to mention he is simply horrid at trying to perform them.

Taijutsu - One of the few things Rinji is half way decent at. He is probably slightly ahead of the curve when hit comes to taijutsu because he has an affinity to the physical training and he likes the control of movement and speed it gives him.

Bukijutsu - Rinji also enjoys training with different hand held weapons, and therefore is proficient with their use. His favorite being the Kusarigama.


Signature Techniques:

Basic Genin level techniques
For some reason he is really good at Body Replacement (it’s the wood)

Bukijutsu
Kunai and Shuriken advanced throwing techniques. (Like mid air collisions to alter course)
Kusarigama techniques.

Lightning Release
Chidori (somehow through sheer force of will, tenacity of training, and many long hours of experimentation, Rinji has come to be able to use this technique. Though because he does not possess the Sharingan he can not use it very well and suffers from the tunnel-vision-like drawbacks.)



Paraphernalia:

Notes: Despite his affinity toward earth, water, and his Kekkai Genkai he is only interested in Lightning release techniques and hasn't ever seriously trained in his natural affinities.

Theme Song: Wolf mother - Joker and the Thief
