Unique Abilities:
- Spoiler:
Experience Advantage:
A player may start with more experience that can be applied to their total. This amount may never be enough to advance into the next class and can always fall short by 1 experience. Doing this will put the player in debt, thus all generated experience must go towards paying off that experience debt before it can be applied anywhere else.
This can also be done if a player only wishes to gain a little more experience at the start. If the player chooses to start with equal or less than 50% experience for their next class requirement only half of the generated experience will go towards this debt. This UA can only be taken at creation and may not be added later. EXPERIENCE GAINED: 999 EXP
--------
Mo-Money:
A player may start off with additional income, which the max amount correlates to the player's starting rank. Upon doing so 50% of all future income counts towards that sum with an interest of 50% as well.
Genin can max at: 100,000 ryo
Chuunin can max at: 250,000 ryo
Jounin can max at: 500,000 ryo
MONEY GAINED: 100,000 RYO
-------
One-handed Seals:
Pretty straightforward. A player may weave hand seals with only one hand. This results in a one tier loss of Coordination for that hand regarding hand seals.
-------
Portable Shop:
A player may invest a sum of money and expect returns to a maximum of 5% per month. The player must roll a 1d10 to determine the outcome of the success. An outcome of 6-10 means that the investment failed and all of the money is lost, but an outcome of 1-5 means a successful investment and 5% of that money is paid to her once per month, permanently.

Appearance (Written):
- Physique:
- Spoiler:
Faustein is 5' 7" tall, weighs 140 lb., and has a medium-heavy bone structure. His skin is mostly sallow in complexion due to a certain degree of melanin deficiency that he inherited from his parents. That said, this pallor is offset to some extent due to the weather-beaten texture and color that his skin now has due to all the exposure it has had to the elements and other harsh environmental conditions he has had to face over the course of his ongoing mad science research, both in the past and in the present, and will be facing well into the future. Apart from that, he has very thick, coarse, dry, medium length (down to the base of his neck), bluish-gray hair of which, the anterior aspect comprises bangs that hang down over his forehead. Like his skin, his hair's texture is also due to these previously mentioned challenges that have and continue to test him thusly.
However, he never bothers to care for his hair or even keep it tamed due to his inherently lazy nature and because it tends to get disheveled anyway over the course of his research. He has a generally ovoid head like any other regular human. He also has some distinctive facial features such as: gaunt cheeks with high-set cheekbones, a high and wide forehead (though this is somewhat obscured by his bangs), as well as thin, roughly almond-shaped eyes with the usual round pupils and darkish-amber colored irises (this is their default state, but when he activates the Chinoike’s Ketsuryūgan dōjutsu, his irises become crimson red in color and his pupils become slit-like in morphology). The last of his distinctive facial features are his gently tapered chin and his somewhat strongly set, somewhat sharply defined jawline.
He has a slender, slightly longer than normal neck with a very prominent Adam's apple. His back and shoulders are broad and well developed with lean, well defined, reasonably toned musculature due to his own basic physical conditioning and because he often exerts himself physically to varying degrees during his travels and research. Across his torso, both the anterior and posterior aspects, he has no more than a few grams of adipose tissue anywhere since he almost constantly forgets to maintain a proper meal schedule, especially when he is engrossed in one of his long-term research projects. His upper limbs are of average length and just like the rest of his body, they too possess lean, somewhat well-defined musculature. Due to his medium-heavy bone structure, his wrists are slightly larger than normal. Meanwhile, his hands are also slightly larger and somewhat more muscular than those of the average adult male too.
This latter aspect is due to their near constant use in his various physical exertions. In contrast, however, his fingers are longer than average and have a rather skeletal look to them. He has a narrow waist and hips, again due to the veritable lack of adipose tissue, especially the abdominal type. Below, he has lower limbs which are longer than average and like the rest of him, his lower limbs also have not more than an ounce of adipose tissue anywhere. As a result, like everywhere else on him, his lower limb musculature is also clearly visible and reasonably well defined, but also due to his physical exertions and specific training as well. Like his wrists, due to his medium heavy bone structure, his ankles are also slightly bigger than average as are his feet. However, like his fingers, his toes are also quite spindly in appearance. The rest of him is similarly endowed due to the genetic gifts he has inherited from both sides of his family.

Clothes:
Faustein prefers to keep his outfit as simple and practical as possible, though he does give in to occasional flights of fancy due to his flair for the dramatic. When at home, either alone or with guests, over the usual male undergarments, he always wears a simple t-shirt and shorts combo (both non-pink) while going barefoot most of the time. If pressed to put on footwear, then he usually prefers the usual ninja sandals or otherwise may use traditional geta shoes as well. When out in the clan district as well as in Kumogakure in general or otherwise just traveling somewhere in and around the village, his outfit of choice is some light-colored, full-sleeved, hoodie shirt with a thin dark-colored fleece jacket over it with a simple pair of dark colored jeans and sneakers below (all of this over the usual male undergarments, and non-pink). His work outfit is of course that of any other standard physician-scientist. Namely, over the usual male undergarments, he dons a formal light-colored, full-sleeved shirt with a red necktie and a typical white lab coat with multiple pockets over that while having formal dark colored pants and patent leather shoes below. So, to most, he would look more like a researcher than a stereotypical ninja.
His hands are covered by disposable light-colored surgical gloves. His eyes are protected by durable protective goggles if he is in the lab. This outfit is what he usually wears when moving about outside as well, both on his research trips and when taking on client requests, jobs, or missions. If he needs more bundling up, however, then he also wears a white trench coat with a matching white hat over this ensemble. When attending some formal occasion, like anybody else, over his male undergarments, he wears the usual formal attire with his being either a standard three-piece black suit ensemble with a white formal shirt, red necktie, and his standard patent leather shoes, of course. Lastly, his winterwear consists of some light colored full-sleeved shirt with a 6 feet long red scarf which is wrapped loosely around his neck; a moderately thick, weatherproof, Sherpa jacket over that while below he wears some simple pants and a pair of shoes with good traction.
This above outfit is also the one that he tends to wear if ever called to teach at the Kumogakure Academy. Obviously, as in all other occasions, under this outfit are his usual male undergarments as well. For other types of inclement weather or special situations such as the beach he uses the appropriate clothing for the situation. Along with everything mentioned above, the constant parts of his attire are his custom order glasses as well as the other miscellaneous wearable items that he usually carried in his large frame, military style backpack in which he carries most of his equipment when he is on the move.

Personality:
- Spoiler:
Faustein is a stereotypical mad physician-scientist in thought, word, and deed and his various personality traits apply as much in battle as they do outside it. Due to his insatiable curiosity, he pursues knowledge at any cost and views the whole world and everything in it, including himself not as individuals worthy of respect and care, but rather merely as experimental specimens to use in this eternal quest for knowledge. As if this were not bad enough, he blatantly disregards the personal rights of others (especially his specimens and/or research volunteers) and brooks no complaints from them, either about his research or the methodology therein. This already reprehensible aspect of him is exacerbated further by his utter lack of inhibitions or qualms of any kind which could possibly regulate the methodology of his quest for knowledge. Due to this, he often tends to irritate and even anger those around him who may have issues with this willful ignorance of common human decency.
Apart from the traits mentioned above, due to the rigorous demands and high focus which his research and work as a physician-scientist requires, he is strictly objective almost all the time, which means that he can usually be moved to act only by the cold logic of a situation or by his desire for knowledge. In keeping with this strictly objective view, his face typically looks stern, distant, and rather inscrutably emotionless almost all the time. That said, he is very protective of and is wholly invested in his research and so, he usually tends to be very reclusive and reticent about its exact nature and content. He was also quite paranoid in the past as he believed most people around him wish to restrict and oppress him. Nevertheless, this aspect has been lessened to some degree in more recent times due to the positive influence that others he has met have had on him. Still, his allegiance would lie primarily with himself and of course, would secondarily with his subordinates (e.g., his pets, his employees, summons, etc.) as they are his experimental specimens, research assistants, and in a pinch, his guardians as well. His allegiance to everyone else and everything else would be tertiary to these two priorities.
Furthermore, he has an incorrigible superiority complex towards others which often gets him into trouble with them since it makes him act in a condescending manner towards them. However, this is only towards those whom he is certain are less capable than himself. Despite this, he realizes that nothing and no one in the world is completely perfect. In fact, he abhors the concept of perfection and ridicules anyone and anything that claims to be perfect since to him, perfection is a completely stagnant state which cannot accommodate any further improvement. Additionally, he is highly manipulative of others, including his subordinates (e.g., his pets, his employees, summons, etc.). Of course, in the latter case, he does hold back a little on his manipulative aspect since he knows that he needs their support and eternal allegiance for his research to truly reach success. Then, there is also his egregious hedonism which causes him to crave and try to acquire or experience all the finer things in life such as gourmet cuisine, vintage wines, expensive miscellaneous exclusive goods, etc. This is especially true since he has known it all the while from childhood till present day. This is due to his ultra-wealthy and influential family and the Chinoike clan’s highly privileged social status. So, he tends to enjoy these things, but he is still rather uncomfortable in formal settings due to his introverted nature and his obliviousness to common social mores. That said, this aspect has decreased somewhat in recent years due to external influences, so he is able to tolerate formal settings which usually include such high society life at the very least. However, he would attend such occasions only to either satiate his ever-present hedonism or if he is forced to attend by someone else superior to him.
To his credit though, despite having all these defects, he does have some saving graces, though some may consider these to be a blessing and a curse simultaneously. The first of these is his determination which lets him persevere till the end in all his ventures, for better or worse. However, this is also a drawback since it does also cause him to have a rather recalcitrant mentality at the same time. As a result of this headstrong aspect, he can be quite intractable to any attempts to sway him toward any path other than the one he sees lying before him. Aside from this, there is his objectivity of view and his ability to stay emotionally detached regardless of whatever may be going on around him. While this does help him keep a calm and clear mind in all but the most trying of situations, it also means he is utterly oblivious to the emotional needs of others. Besides this, he can be quite passionate, driven, and hyper-focused when he is engrossed in some task or activity that intrigues him and this gives him the advantage of being able to avoid many common distractions which may otherwise impede his research or work. However, it can also be a negative because it does cause him to ignore everything else, like the basic everyday things such as personal maintenance which normal people would not forget so easily.
In addition to this, he prefers to be as efficient as possible in thought, word, and deed and this is a boon since it allows him to delegate resources properly to where they are needed and saves time which he can then spend on other projects or studies, but it can also be a curse since it makes him speak very bluntly because, to him, hiding the truth behind any kind of façade just to make it palatable to his audience, regardless of their social standing or other characteristics and background, is a complete waste of his time and energy. Of course, if he feels inclined to play mind games with them, he will pretend to accidentally let his true feelings slip, only to put on airs of correcting himself midstream. Naturally, this tends to get him into trouble with others, especially those among his audience who may take issue with his lack of verbal filters. When confronted with most emotional issues, especially the issue of romance, his face tends to turn completely blank and clueless. Then, there is his tendency to warn people of potential dangers when he sees them coming, but if it is a source of new, unfamiliar knowledge which intrigues him enough to want it, he has no qualms in lying and doing whatever he has to acquire said knowledge source, even though his actions may cost him and his allies a crucial victory or even if doing so would lead to massive casualties on his side.
After that, there is his innovativeness as well as his cerebral and eccentric nature. His innovative side and his cerebral nature do give him the ability to solve most if not all the problems he may face, but they also give him that insatiable curiosity which causes him to want to take apart and analyze everything and everyone around him if they happen to intrigue him enough. This tendency to want to analyze everything and everyone that intrigues him, when combined with his innately observant aspect of his nature, leads him to lurk about observing everyone and everything around him to glean valuable intelligence about the. Typically, he tries to use this data in one way or another and so, he can usually notice things that most others without this quirk would tend to overlook in their surroundings.
Besides this, there is the cautious aspect of his nature which he has because he not only inherited it from his parents, but also trained steadily since childhood. This means he never even enters an area or situation without researching it thoroughly via preferably remote means as far as possible, whether that be by sending his subordinates (e.g., his pets, his employees, summons, etc.) ahead of him, planting hidden surveillance mediums on one of his purported allies, or some other ways as well. He also usually ensures that he has at least a handful of main action plans, some backup plans to handle common contingencies that may crop up in his main plans depending on the situational flow, and even a few escape plans for the worst-case scenarios wherein nothing he can do would be sufficient to resolve the problem(s) successfully. This careful nature combined with his innate, insatiable curiosity also causes him to also use every situation he enters as a field test for any new techniques, abilities, chakra powered technology, or anything else he may be developing at the time; with his allies, as well as any opponents/enemies whom they are facing, and even himself being the lab rats for these field tests. This is because he never likes to charge in blindly and prefers to have data on every element in a situation before acting on his plans, if possible. In such situations or in any battle or even a simple spar, whether major or minor, he tends to keep his distance from his opponent(s)/target(s) while trying to glean any discernible and/or obtainable information on them which he then uses to facilitate his attempts to overwhelm them slowly but surely over the course of his confrontation with them to the best of his abilities at that time.
Of course, if it means getting his hands on some exciting source(s) of new or otherwise unfamiliar knowledge, this cautious aspect of him tends to take a backseat, though he will still try to maintain some modicum of it even when hunting said knowledge source(s). Finally, there is his extreme, unbridled eccentricity which, though beneficial in that nobody who is willing to hang out with him would be assured of never getting bored and any potential enemies can never quite accurately predict his next move, can also be quite the obstacle in his interpersonal relationships since he is not only highly unconventional and prone to doing things which others; whether they be family, friends, allies, or others; find rather disconcerting if not outright repulsive, but also because it makes him a very difficult subordinate for those authority figures who may have trouble accepting his highly whimsical behavior. This eccentricity is even ingrained deeply into his professional practice as a physician-scientist.
When combined with his amoral outlook, this eccentricity means that he usually employs highly unorthodox treatment methods. These may come with some unsavory side-effects as well for any patient(s) or specimen(s) that put themselves in his care. Of course, despite the dubious nature of his work methods, they have undoubtedly superlative efficacy and that causes many among his clientele, patient(s), and/or specimen(s) to be confused about his intrinsic nature, motives, and the like. The last effect of this eccentricity is that he occasionally tends to behave in a very uncharacteristic way, which may surprise others around him (e.g. making esoteric puns and references, trying to fluff some particularly fluffy entity when they least expect it, uttering a maniacal laugh like some stereotypical supervillain/ mad physician-scientist with all of the associated theatrical mannerisms whenever one of his research projects comes to fruition, displaying a disturbingly high level of excitement during encounters with sophisticated technology and anything that is mostly or completely unfamiliar to him, as well as making impromptu and unorthodox changes to battle plans while still in battle.)

History:
- Spoiler:
The story of “Faustein Kuroyakushi” starts with that of his parents, a man from one branch of the Chinoike Clan called “Siegfried Faustein” and a woman named “Izanami Kuroyakushi” from another distant branch of the same clan. They had met during a medical/scientific conference held in their home, aka the Hidden Cloud Village, also called Kumogakure. Initially, they did not like each other, but eventually did start to warm up to each other after several chance encounters. After several of these meetings, their respective sides noticed this growing entanglement and thus, decided to unite the two in a sort of political marriage. The objective, of course, was to unite the resources possessed by each side into one seamless whole and in doing so, increase the intraclan standing of the two sides to benefit the Chinoike clan overall to whatever extent possible.
After their union, “Siegfried Faustein” and “Izanami Kuroyakushi” decided to settle down in their common home, aka Kumogakure, and started to raise their new family. In due course, they brought “Faustein Kuroyakushi” into the world and since he was the only son, not to the overall Chinoike clan, but rather to their two sides only, the elders of both sides decided to name him the sole heir to both branches. “Faustein Kuroyakushi” was a promising prospect right from childhood in that he was not only able to awaken the Chinoike dōjutsu, aka the Ketsuryūgan, early on but also had inherited several more intangible and more subtle genetic advantages from each side of the family, like his parents’ intellect, or at least the beginnings of it. Additionally, he also had an insatiable curiosity about the world around him and about science, technology, the ninja arts, and other things as well. This curiosity was apparent in the various basic auto-didactic experiments he would always be engrossed in whenever he was not busy with his regular ninja studies. These involved anything from magnetizing a needle to make an improvised compass to trying to see the effect of focusing the sun’s rays onto a piece of paper and other such studies.
Naturally, the sight of their son taking to science and the pursuit of knowledge in general pleased both “Siegfried Faustein” and “Izanami Kuroyakushi” greatly. However, not all was sunshine and rainbows, for before long, there appeared a dark side to the inquisitive nature of young “Faustein Kuroyakushi”. Namely, with the same child-like wonderment and curiosity that he focused the sun’s rays onto a piece of paper to examine the resultant effects, he would also attempt the same exact experiment with small insects and specifically, their wings. At other times, as he grew older and more dexterous, this darker aspect to his insatiable curiosity would lead him to capture small amphibians or reptiles and attempt to vivisect them to study them and once again, with the same innocent curiosity that had once led him to try magnetizing needles to make them act as improvised compasses. In this manner, his curiosity led him ever further along this dark path until finally, his parents decided to put a stop to it by bringing him into a private tutoring program with specially hired instructors.
To their great surprise and chagrin, however, “Faustein Kuroyakushi” refused them and turned away from them entirely at some point in time. Therefore, they decided to let him learn the harsh reality of the world and perhaps even the consequences of his dark path to greater knowledge as well by leaving him to his own devices for the time being. This was because they hoped that he would come back to them and take up their offer at the time of that future epiphany. So, Faustein continued growing older and older and progressed from one stage of standard non ninja schooling to the next until he finally entered his teenage years. At some point during this period, the dark side of human nature was finally revealed to him after a series of treacherous betrayals by those school mates whom he had considered his only and best friends up till that point. Consequently, he swore to himself that he would never again bother with such frivolities as friendship and even the softer passions. Instead, he threw himself entirely into his studies and even came to his parents and specifically asked to be placed under private tutelage from that point forward when he was not attending regular schooling. As a result, his grades improved dramatically and eventually he graduated with honors time after time.
This process continued for a long time until finally, he had finished all that he could learn from non-ninja schooling in the way of scientific education and this was during his early 20s. It was then that he realized that the path forward to gain even more knowledge than he had before would be to enroll in and undertake the ninja training and education. Due to this, he requested his parents to teach him in not only ninjutsu, but also the basics of taijutsu and genjutsu. Apart from this, he also asked them to instruct him in the beginner stage of the usage of the Chinoike clan’s famous dōjutsu, the Ketsuryūgan. This period continued till he turned 27 years of age. Then, on his 27th birthday, he decided to enroll in the formal Kumogakure Ninja Academy and in due time, he graduated and became a fresh Genin in the Kumogakure ninja army at the age of 30 years old. From here, it remains to be seen where his life will take him, but it is sure to be an interesting sojourn overall.
