File #1913 - Katsu (written as Broken), of the Hidden Mist
General: Little personal information about this Mist-nin is available, save for the fact that he is a onetime peer of Momochi Zabuza and one of the few to have lived through the graduation of the 'Devil of the Hidden Mist'.
Somehow, he managed to survive without crippling injury, though the scars of the event remain with him until this day. Rumor has it that this was the reason due to which he'd changed his name afterwards.
He graduated the Hidden Mist Academy as genin a year later, after having spent more than six months in recovery.
His career afterwards can be described as hazy at best, since he never really stood out amongs the other Mist-nin. It was only after attaining the rank of Chuunin that he began to make a name for himself, and even then it was mainly one as a jack of all trades. More details, and quirks, began to surface after he made Jounin.
A private person, even for a shinobi, he has few acquaintances that are more than casual, and even fewer people he calls friends - again, rumor has it that this is opposite from how he was in the Academy.
Appearance: White scars criss-crossing skin (most are healed up enough to only leave faint lines), dispassionate green eyes, and shortish dark hair ... are what actually stands out. He tends to wear stock Jounin fatigues in varying shades of grey, and a high-collared jacket. His hitai-ite acts as part of the collar's front latch. The jacket has reinforced at the forearms and elbows, and possesses the obligatory multum of pockets. The only bits of skin habitually left uncovered are the face and fingers.
Skills:
Known as a Jack of All Trades prior to making Jounin, his actual skill list was and still is a bit of an oddity, mixing that philosophy of -strike once, strike hard, strike fast - with Mist-nin deception techniques. He tries to live by the KISS rule.
For someone who prefers taking the direct approach in any given situation, his aptitude for genjutsu is puzzling to say the least. Or rather, his aptitude for seeing through/resisting them. His own list of genjutsu is rather limited, not reaching far beyond the basic/intermediate Kirikagure, Mizu Bushin, and a low level debuff jutsu called Dread Gaze that requires line of sight and isn't really that useful against strong-willed targets.
His taijutsu is solidly rooted in Mist-nin basics, with an emphasis on the softer styles in defense - flow like water, avoid, redirect, if that fails, absorb - a bit of downright dirty brawling mixed in, and the fact that he is a weapon-user added for good measure.
Katsu's ninjutsu is, on the other hand, something of a forte. If only because it's the one aspect he put serious effort into personalizing. He hates flashy jutsus, you see. Or, at least, he hates using them. The Mist's stock Suiton jutsus aside, he has five personalized water-based jutsus, two of them being non-combat techniques, and the other three being assassination techniques.
Mizutsuku no jutsu - as the name says (I hope), a water breathing technique. Filters oxygen from water. The uses are obvious. A possible modification could include a chakra version of a gas mask. (and here's hoping I got the names right)
Reiketsukan no jutsu - (Cold-blooded person technique) this is actually something he 'invented' unwittingly, during the whole Zabuza-goes-nuts thing. It let him play dead decently enough.
The following techniques require tactile contact with target, and are fairly chakra intensive:
Nettou no jutsu - (boiling water technique) the human body is 70% water. This jutsu flashes a heavy load of hot chakra through that 70%. With predictable results.
Mizugyou no jutsu - (freezing water technique) like above, only with cold chakra.
Kansou ichidan no jutsu - (dehydrated body technique) a modified Suiton technique that draws the water from the target. Perhaps the most deadly of the three, though while the other two can have other applications (they're pretty handy in a kitchen), this one is pretty much strictly an assassination technique.
Equipment:
Kunai and throwing spikes/needles rather than shuriken. Garotte. Silk cord/rope. Grapple. Smoke bombs.
Two bladed weapons, the blades being hatchet-like (heavy, broad, etc) and forearm-length (hilts half as long), and too clumsy too be called swords, really. He considers things like 'finesse' to be a secondary concern. Actually, he'd once heard (during his time as Chuunin) his taijutsu technique being called that of a simple hatchetman rather than that of a ninja. He liked the description so much, he had the two 'hatchets' made. It turned out whoever had said that had been right, because they fit his taijutsu to a T. They're actually named, the kanji carved into the blades' sides in simple, non-ornamental 'font'. The 'left' one is called Saugai (havoc). The 'right' - Warugi (malice).
Quote: Havoc and Malice. Their presence in my hands prevents me from doing Seals, but they do little to hamper my lust for slaughter. (brownie points for those who know where I swiped this from)
Social:
He simply isn't. Not much, anyway. There are two people he considers 'friends' in the Hidden Mist, one of them being the medic-nin whose efforts kept him alive after Zabuza's little rampage. The other is her daugher (of whom he is currently the Jounin-sensei).
When in the Mist, he lives with the two of them - has been doing so ever since the Zabuza incident. There might be some recent unresolved sexual tension between himself and the medic-nin, Mizuno Yuki, though she's a few years older than he, and the daughter (while this isn't a BSSM cross, I'm highly tempted to name her Mizuno Ami) regards him as a weird older brother type person.
Katsu feels he has an obligation to the former, and the latter has sort of grown on him ... like mould.
He considers his loyalty as being to them first, to himself second, and to the Mist at a distant third spot (with a graduation like that, it's not too surprising).
As for his feelings on the Zabuza issue ... he's pretty much indifferent towards the guy. He might have some small urge to return the asskicking, or to try at least, but time and apathy managed to make it something that doesn't really rule his actions.

The whole Mizuno thing is actually something I'd considered putting into a fanfic that never made the cut, but it fit here so there you go. (and, no, I don't have a thing for older women. I just wanted to do something different from the stock SI author's 'hook him up with a Senshi')
-Griever
upset that the axes didn't make it into the sequels ever since LoK:BO2 came out.
When tact is required, use brute force. When force is required, use greater force.
When the greatest force is required, use your head. Surprise is everything. - The Book of Cataclysm
