Ryouta Ōdōtai

Ryouta Ōdōtai is a Genin ranked shinobi of Konohagakure. A lost child from a heritage which he held little to no knowledge of, and so he pursues both the goal to become self-sustainable and to attain the truth about the history behind the clan name he wears and its secrets, hoping that the enlightenment would better his understanding and provide a purpose which he seemed to be lacking.

Background Information
Ryouta, child of Kenshin Ōdōtai  and Aimi Yushiga descends from an ancestral line where his bloodline runs thin, for his father's side consisted of a single Ōdōtai parent throughout his family tree, leaving both his father and himself absent the knowledge of his clan's history, only its name and stories of its unique Kekkei Genkai. Ryouta held little to no knowledge himself and had constantly pestered his father about the clan's history, hoping to unlock the secrets of the clan's power, yet his father proved nothing greater than a plain shinobi. Then one night, a dream occurred where the spirit of one of the previous generation's guardians appeared before him. Shirou Ōdōtai had informed Ryouta that he was the inheritor for the Tiger Zodiac spirit and will receive his blood-right. With little information offered about the power and even fewer information about his clan offered, Ryouta was then taught both the Tachikomeru no Jutsu and the Mehidasu no Jutsu.

Ryouta awoke with a surprise as a seal appeared upon his arm, resembling scripture stretching from mid-bicep up towards the mid-section of his chest, baffled and simultaneously overjoyed, his father rushed to enroll his child in the Ninja Academy of Konohagakure. In his attempts to understand the markings further, he was intensely focused on Fūinjutsu, yet his attention soon caught sight of Ninjutsu and Chakra control, which had piqued his interest. Studying intensely whilst remaining immensely incapable, it provided comfort to see the potential of the shinobi and possibly figure out why he remains incapable of completing the Mechidasu no Jutsu. Unfortunately he graduated learning little to nothing other than slight improvement in Taijutsu. Still, he insisted on becoming stronger to be more self-reliant and insists on understanding and learning Ninjutsu and Chakra control whilst constantly investigating the history of his apparently forgotten clan.

Personality & Behavior
Proven to be quite the observational and inquisitorial individual, Ryouta oftentimes discovers solace observing his environment from a distance, gaining a comprehensive understanding of the events occurring and processing the information. His inquisitorial nature keeps him on an endless search for answers even when it is believed that there are none to be found. His traits portray a calm and well collected sense of attitude in spite of the pace of his surroundings, Ryouta isn't the kind of individual to leap in without a plan in mind, though he does often neglect to share the apparent plan he comes up with. He also rejects the idea of taking shortcuts believing that the overall conclusion will pale in comparison to the results of hardened training and undergoing through the intensive trials and tribulations life has to offer, finding that only effort provides the greatest and most effective outcome.

Appearance
Ryouta has rather long hair for a child his age, a somewhat bright blonde coloring about it, complimenting the golden colour of each of his irises. His skin is light cream in colour, completely absent scars from his lack of actual combat experience whilst the aforementioned seal enveloping his skin from the mid-bicep up towards the mid-section of his chest. When the Tachikomerasu no Jutsu is performed, the scripture extends up towards his neck and down towards his mid-forearm, symbolising the loosening of his seal and the beginning of the activation of his Kekkei Genkai. Ryouta's apparel varies according to the situation, yet his most favoured assortment of clothing consists of a decorated white shirt over his torso and a black leather jacket worn over the shirt, whilst his legs are covered with black jeans and his feet in black sneaker-like shoes, each of Ryouta's hands are accompanied with finger-less black leather gloves with an open square section behind each hand.

Abilities
Unfortunately, Ryouta has proven difficult and quite incapable, nothing quite remarkable about him, although he proved quite persistent. He has a slight grasp in Taijutsu and an understanding of Ninjutsu, yet with no known Jutsu other than what was inherited. Despite his poor performance in the basic fundamentals in performing Ninjutsu and Genjutsu, he proved quite proficient in battle and where his abilities had lacked, his intelligence, speed and reliance on ninja tools pulled through. The inherited Kekkei Genkai proved quite the potential weapon for the village as well so his graduation went through despite his faults. Though Ryouta knew that this wasn't enough to sustain his way of living and so intends to learn Ninjutsu and to develop his Kekkei Genkai even further.

Zodiac Variation:

Ryouta's Zodiac spirit is a Tiger and thus when his cloak is active, Ryouta inherits similar capabilities to that of an actual tiger, the cloak extends claws from Ryouta's hands and feet and a tail, the size of the Zodiac cloak's ears symbolise that the Tiger itself hasn't matured completely. Despite the immaturity of his spirit, Ryouta receives ample boost to mobility, agility and his reflexes. The Tiger's natural ability to emit a roar is now converted into a devastating chakra enhanced powerful percussive force which sends what lingers in its path to be blown away.
