- Spoiler:
Personality: On the surface, Kenjiro seems to be a shallow and self-absorbed young man, infamous among many of his colleagues and subordinates alike for the selfish and narcissistic aura he gives off. Kenjiro is wont to act in an ostentatious manner and appears to act mostly out of self-interest rather than any sort of philanthropy. He comes off to most as a sort of cocky layabout, but quick to take action when it appears that there is glory and clan fame to be gained. Kenjiro is expertly manipulative and prone to think several steps ahead of those around him, giving him a remarkable talent for making subordinates act exactly as he wishes despite appearing not to have had a hand in their decisions.
Kenjiro also has the reputation of being an incorrigible womanizer, and it's said he spends much of his time cavorting about town with various women and wooing several of the clans women with his abundant charm, good looks and charisma. This adds another facet to his unpopularity among the clan men, many of whom have had their sweethearts and crushes romanced away from them by his hand.
However, while these traits do have a place in his real personality, much of his outward persona can perhaps be considered an intentional façade perfectly designed to cause those unfamiliar with him to underestimate his remarkable intelligence and ability. Kenjiro is an exceptional tactician, well-versed in various strains of combat theory and particularly talented in the realms of surreptitious information-gathering, covert operations and enemy ensnarement.
At the core, he is a remarkably devoted commander whose primary focus and personal duty is to his friends and subordinates. Though he hides it well behind a veil of cynicism and self-importance, Kenjiro is a man who cares deeply about the people who trust and support him and goes to great lengths to ensure their safety and well-being, even at the risk of his own. As a man with considerable power, Kenjiro considers himself a protector to those without and acts accordingly, earning the staunch loyalty of his most trusted compatriots. His words to his companions were "As an individual I am powerless. That's why I need all of you to help me protect this nation. I will protect you. In turn, you will protect as many others as possible. No matter how few, always look out for your subordinates. And those below you will in turn protect their subordinates. No matter what happens, stubbornly cling to your will to survive. Live and help change this country."
Unfortunately, his self-imposed position as protector has caused him to display a penchant toward stubbornness in regards to his pride on the field and a fiery temper, both of which have been shown to cloud his judgment in certain situations.
Background/History: Childhood arc (Birth to age 13):
Kenjiro's parentage was not a union of love but of on sided lust, between his mother a captured clanless woman and a member a rogue group of Shoshinku members. His father had raped his mother and forced her to keep the child, this was the way for most children of this group of the clan as they were used for work after age six and never taught anything regarding to their clan. Kenjiro was of course, no different and at age six was put to work. Which was cleaning the rooms of clan members and some small farming, jobs normally reserved for civilians. Kenjiro always took notice of people coming to and from the clan asking them to do "jobs" which being six he always assumed were just harder forms of the work the kids were doing.
At around age eight is when Kenjiro had learned of the clan abilities as he spied on two members sparring against one another and saw them manipulating their blood into attacks. His curiosity peaked, though he and his father had never been truly close he felt the need to ask his father to help train him in these abilities. His father refused, saying that he would never be able to now or ever this broke the boys heart and caused him to finally realize his father wasn't truly a father to him. It was here however another member of the clan took the boy under his wing and had him train, the training lasted about five years for the boy to build up reserves and control to do it. It was on his fifth and final year his master had left him and told him to simply practice the move until he could no longer do it, then one faithful day a man by the name of Kurokon approached the clan who tried to extort him while one thing came from it.
Slaughter.
The houses were covered in blood and small chunks of clan members, though Kenjiro didn't care as his mother had passed long before this and his master was gone. The man known as Kurokon turned to the boy and began stepping towards him, Kenjiro backed up and pressed against a wall before pulling out his training knife. He pointed it at the man and warned him to not come any closer. Kurokon looked on, amused at the boy before snatching the knife out of the child's hand and to what Kenjiro saw proceeded to eat it when in reality he used a type of magnetism to destroy it and make it look like he ate it in an attempt to scare the child.
It worked.
Though it was more due to the fact the child's only defense was gone now he fell to his hands and knees, begging to be spared which caused Kurokon to burst out laughing. He asked Kenjiro of what clan he belonged to which he replied to with Shoshinku, a smirk donned the Shikyo members face as he replied with "not anymore" and took the boy with him, intending on putting him to work as not only a test subject but his own personal bodyguard/minion.
Learning Arc (13 through 15):
It was when he arrived with Kuro to the Shikyo clan that Kurokon had begun teaching him the basics of ninjary. How to properly use weapons, jutsu and chakra despite him having a B rank jutsu in his arsenal. It's also here that Kurokon taught Kenjiro to use a façade to hide how he truly is, to deceive his enemies and make them think he was weaker then he really was and how to be a tactician. Through all of this lead to a deep loyalty to not only Kurokon but the Shikyo clan and it's allies as a whole in the young man.
Kurokon had also, at the request of Kenjiro gave him straps to hold vials of blood to act as his own "blood bombs" as he put it, he had also requested a blood pack to hold under his tongue in case of emergencies where he couldn't use his hands. It was Kurokon however who gave Kenjiro his greatest weapon, after tinkering with ideas for a bit Kurokon managed to fuse a shell of blood to his arm with hold it there with chakra giving him a very versatile weapon. At age fifteen Kurokon had sent Kenjiro onto his first mission, collect a DNA sample for him to use in a genetic experiment.
Mission days (Age 15-16):
Kuro was a large fan of genetics, not just KKG but naturally or unnaturally occurring things and therefor Kenjiro was often sent out to collect DNA, normally in the form of blood, for Kurokon. A man who through some experimentation naturally produced toxins, a Kaguya and finally a Hyuuga. All three prospects intrigued Kenjiro who went off to find them, with them all being in completely different areas. He decided he'd go for the Hyuuga first, the issue was that the Hyuuga clan was a very large one so a direct assault on their compound wasn't ideal.
There for he instead spied on a specific Hyuuga, learned his life, routine. Where he went each day and how he got there, all in all it was a three month process. Kenjiro noticed a weakness, he would get drunk on a specific day then take a short cut back to the clan compound through an alleyway no one really saw in or could hear anything going on. So on that night Kenjiro dived onto the Hyuuga and dug a syringe into his neck and drawing his blood out before deciding on something else, to put a long gruesome story short, Kenjiro scalped him then carved the Uchiha fan onto his back before dropping him into the lawn of the Hyuuga clan leader. Then as a final insult, Kenjiro slept with the wife of the man he killed the very last night before going off to hunt the Kaguya member.
The Kaguya proved tougher to find as they hadn't truly had a solid clan yet and it was truly just a rare few of individuals who could control their bones much like Kenjiro could his blood. They constantly moved so there for Kenjiro did as well, often following whispers from taverns and fighters of a man who would rip out his own bones and use them as weaponry, it was a month before Kenjiro caught up to the Kaguya who turned and got ready for a fight. Kenjiro tried to keep it simple, told the Kaguya he simply wanted some of his blood to return to his master.
The Kaguya did not take kindly to that.
He ran at Kenjiro who in turn threw a vial of blood at him which shattered and for lack of a better word, exploded into thousands of blood sebon and killed most of the town center. The Kaguya however was still alive and continued to run at Kenjiro before stabbing at him, his bones all exposed over his body and holding a rib in his hand for a sword. Kenjiro dodged and through the use of his hardened blood arm switched it into a long sword like appendage and stabbed it through the Kaguya's eye, killing him by severing the brain stem and popping out of the back of his skull. Pulling it out Kenjiro grabbed a syringe and jabbed it into the Kaguyas arm and pulled blood from it. Realizing how hard the bones were Kenjiro broke them off and put them in a bag, making a note of asking Kuro to make an actual sword out of them at a later point.
Kenjiro then decided to burn down the town and kill any survivors because why not.
The toxic man was by far the easiest, Kenjiro simply slit his throat and took his blood before returning to Kuro, over all it was a year long trip, mainly due to him taking "off days" due to Kurokon paying for all his expenses.
The Sword Arc (16 - Present):
Kenjiro returned to Kurokon with the samples who proceeded to lock them up before asking him of something else, showing Kuro the Kaguya bones Kenjiro asked him to craft him a sword, Kuro said he'd get right to it.
