Unique Abilities:
Ironhide (Freebie): Valen has always been able to thread chakra through his body to increase it’s physical durability to beyond what it would normally be able to handle. As such he is able to pay 5 chakra to increase his Constitution by a tier. This cannot go beyond S rank.
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
Appearance: Valen stands at an impressively tall height of 6’8 and has lean muscle throughout his frame. He has a wild shock of white/blue hair that he keeps cut fairly short. Due to his height and well muscled form he weighs in at around 260 lbs. He has pale skin and eyes that shift between the blue and grey scale depending on how the light hits them and his mood. Valen typically wears a white yukata with a blue swirl pattern on the bottom and at the end of the sleeves, worn so that his arm only goes through the left sleeve and the right half droops down over his obi. Over this he wears a black belt buckled so that there is leftover dangling from the buckle. Underneath, he wears a black red-lined shirt with a popped collar and black pants. He also wears knee-high black boots, buckled at the top and above his foot.
History: Valen was born with a stork and a telephone pole as parents. No? Fine then, his parents were Valwin, and Siramir Akari. His name was given due to tradition on his mothers side. Valen was always a quiet child and his family traveled around quite a bit due to his fathers merchant work. Rather than stay in one place to run a shop he decided that he would rather travel around to try to bring his wares to the customers and for the most part it worked. They were never hungry, never cold, and never really unsafe. His father, Siramir, always had a guard or two with them as they traveled. Usually mercenaries whose loyalties were tied to whether or not they were currently under a contract. As such Valen spent a great deal of time around individuals who were a bit scruffy and capable with a blade.
When he grew into his preteens he began to practice with a sword of his own. Mostly because of the time moving from place to place as they traveled around the countries for his father to sell his wares being so absolutely boring that he had nothing better to do. The mercenaries his father hired to protect them never really minded teaching him either. They just took turns sparring and instructing, sometimes arguing about the best way to do things. When in reality such things were a matter of personal preference. Suffice to say that over the next few years the young Akari became quite capable with a sword of his own. It was around that time that he started to sense things. He could feel some sort of energy source around and within people. Know when someone was coming, and could always tell when they were being watched.
On at least one occasion he saved his family’s lives by the simple expedient of knowing an ambush was up ahead of them and giving warning in advance. It was in that scenario that he killed for the first time, using the skills with a blade he had picked up with years of practice with various mercenaries. The incident took time for him to get over, and one of the mercenaries whom they were working with. One that had worked with them before and had always done right by them, sat down with his parents while Valen himself was in what amounted to a catatonic state. The man’s name was ‘Riva’ and he spoke to them about Valen, about his sensory capabilities and what they meant. He spoke to them about how he was as a prime candidate for shinobi training. That he himself was traveling to Kumogakure after their contract was done anyway. That in a major village Valen could get help with dealing with the issues that taking a human life had caused.
It was one thing for a child soldier, trained from the get go for the possibility to get over taking a life. It was another for a young teenager who had never been prepared for such a possibility to do so. It hit Valen harder than it would have hit a village trained genin. Or even a criminally trained missing nin. Siramir declined just letting Valen go to the village with Riva, no matter how much he liked the man. They would go there themselves, and start a life there, for the sake of their son. Riva agreed and as a group they moved to the village. Once there Valen was set up with a counselor who helped shinobi deal with the guilt of killing someone and over the next year or so Valen finally moved through it. Afterwards Valen decided that his capabilities were too useful to let waste and after a long discussion with his family he enrolled into the academy. Throughout his academy years his sensory capabilities became stronger, obscenely so, and he worked hard to keep them in check. At the same time he continued with his swordsmanship practice and picked up ninjutsu as well in order to add more variety to his repertoire. Eventually the young man graduated and it’s now at the age of eighteen as a fresh genin that he finds himself.
Personality: Valen can tend to come off as fairly lazy, having absolutely no issue with laying about and enjoying the day. At times he can be found in a tree branch with a pipe in hand and puffing away. He can be fairly quiet and reserved at times. However his years of travel and interacting with various people from various lands have made an impact in his social skills. As such he’s generally polite and tries not to be a bother.
Due to his constant traveling around a mild depression settled in him due to his never having any real friends. As such he can at times become quite lonely and seek to remedy that in oft times ill-advised ways. That said he’s never been stupid enough to start doing drugs, but he does not mind drinking if that’s what a prospective friend would want to do.
Valen can be summarized quite simply, his only real goal is to find and make friends. Eventually he wants to start a family of his own. Although he has absolutely no experience in regards to women. For now he simply wants to try to do his best and see where life takes him. Along the way his goal is to try to make as many friends and allies as possible.
When in combat Valen can have a slight shift in personality depending on the circumstances. He strongly dislikes killing for the sake of killing. People need to be at risk in order for him to be willing to do so however when that check is marked he flips quite quickly and doesn’t hesitate to end a life. That said if a mission specifies that a target(s) is to be killed he assumes the village has designated them a risk to others and as previously stated, won’t hesitate.
With respect to combat in general though Valen doesn’t see any point in pulling punches and frequently moves in the most efficient manner he possibly can in order to get the fight over with quickly. While death being the only thing he isn’t willing to deal unless orders or the safety of others requires it he is perfectly willing to maim and cripple.
Due to his tall stature, and strong physique he has had no shortage of flirtatious comments from the fairer sex. Although due to his lack of experience he does not quite know how to respond. He’s been interested more than once, but just never really known how to continue the momentum of the conversation.
