Yoshika Shotai

Ken Shotai is a Konoha Chunin BloodWingdAngel created for role playing/fan fiction (should he ever get back into it). He is a member of Team One along with Mare and Shikyo Hyuua, and formor jounin member Zen (who was the three's sensei) until his retirement.

Apperence
Ken has shoulder length black hair, his bangs extending about halfway down his forehead, usually covering his red shinobi headback with the hidden leaf symbol engrave on the metal plate. He has two different colored eyes, having Heterochromia iridum. His right eye is a brownish color, while his left eye is a light blue color. During Part 1, he wears a blue shirt, black pants going down to his mid lower leg, and red ninja shoes. In Part 2, he wears a similar outfit, but with a black Yuki clan symbol on the back of his larger blue shirt (to represent his mother's side of his family), and he has bandages on his legs and arms. He is about 165 cm (roughly 5 foot 5) in part one, and about 176 cm (around 5 foot 9, almost 5 foot 10) in part two.

Background
Ken was the result of a relationship between a Konoha ANBU member, Hikaru Shotai and a young women of the Yuki clan, Miku Yuki. Due to his possession of the rare Lava Release, and the women's clan having the Ice Release, Ken possess both Kekkai Genkai. Due to the Land of Water's civil war, fear of the Ice Release of the Yuki clan was still among the villagers. Hikaru, knowing his wife was feared among the Land of Water, brought her to Konoha for protection during her pregnancy, and begged the Third Hokage to accept her and the child into the village. The Third accepted after talking to Zen, Hikaru's life long friend and ex-ANBU leader. He died before he could see his son, and Miku would later die of heartbreak and pregnancy complications, leaving the young Shotai an orphan.

Ken was born with the two Kekkai Genkai his father and mother processed, the Lava Release and the Ice Release, giving him the basic natures of Fire, Earth, Water and Wind. He had amazing chakra reserves, something noticed by Zen, his now guardian from a distance and soon to be teacher. Growing up, Ken was shunned for his hidden powers, which he began discovering for himself by the age of eight. Ken also slacked off in school, believing he could become a shinobi just by his power alone, however, soon learned after being put into Team One that his unique abilities does not make him a powerful shinboi alone, something he discovered after being beaten by Zen during the bell test once he was assigned to his team.

Abilities
From a young age, Ken was hailed as a gifted child. He had four of the five basic nature types due to possessing two Kekkai Genkai. Trained by Zen, who is often said to be almost as strong as the three sannin, his gifts went on to aid Ken in becoming a very powerful shinobi in battle.

Ninjutsu
Possessing two Kekkai Genkai, four basic chakra natures, high chakra levels, and a above average intelligence, Ken is a natural at learning and mastering ninjutsu. Zen often considers Ken his best student, due to his ability to learn and remember a wide verity of abilities and jutsu, including the Rasengan, a technique Zen learned from the fourth and taught to his pupil (for the sole purposes of occupying him on a trip to meet up with Jiraiya and see if his mission to get Tsunade was successful). Ken would go on to master tons of jutsu, as well as create jutsu for his two kekkai genkai, Ice Release and Lava Release.

Taijutsu
Ken's skills in Taijutsu were often lacking, but were still strong enough to hold his own against some foes. Against Taijutsu based styles, however, Ken barely stood a chance, as he preferred to use ninjutsu rather then engage in hand to hand combat. This changed when it was revealed his opponent would be his teammate, Shikyo Hyuua, in the chunnin exams, a taijutsu master at close range combat. Realizing Ken would lose if he was to go against Shikyo as he was, Zen spent the next month using weights to train Ken's taijutsu and speed so that he could at least stand a better chance.

Intelligence and Learning Capability
Ken was noted to have above average intelligence in the academy, being in the top 10 of his class. He was able to learn justsu fairly quickly, and also was able to pick up on lectures and their meanings fast. This become important when Ken learned the Rasengan, as well as when he began to create his own jutsu out of his Ice and Lava kekkai genkai. Despite not being as smart as Shikamaru, Kakashi, or Neji, Ken was able to at least hold his own in the planning and leaning department.

Summoning: Wolves
Not many shinboi would ever make a contract with the wolves. Despite being powerful and fearsome creatures, they were hard to tame and control, only listening to those they respected 100%. Zen was one of the few who ever fought side by side with the wolves, no questions asked. Ken would later make a contract with the wolves, and, despite hardships at first, earned the respect of the wolf clan.

Senjutsu
With a chakra capacity greater then that of most shinboi (but less then that of a Jinchūriki or Tailed Beast itself), Ken was able to go to the wolf sanctuary and learn the art of the Wolf Sage Mode. In order to use Sage Mode, Ken had to learn to sense and absorb the natural energy around him, then balance it perfectly with his own chakra. Too little, and he couldn't enter sage mode. Too much, and he would become a warewolf creature and be petrified for all eternity. Sage Mode increases all of Ken's natural abilities, improving on his already amazing ninjutsu. It even increased his Taijutsu, to where Shikyo noted that Ken may be able to defeat him in a Taijutsu only match in Sage Mode. His durability also increased, barely feeling damage that would normally do major harm to a normal shinobi, as well as sense chakra around him.

However, Sage Mode has it's limits. Ken would have to remain still in order to gather natural energy, something that wasn't possible in the heat of battle. To get around this, Ken would fuse with a miniature wolf so it would gather natural energy for him while he fought. Upon exiting Sage Mode, Ken would also be exhausted, another draw back to using Sage Mode.

Nature Transformation
Ken would have a total of six chakra natures. The four basic natures of Fire, Earth, Wind and Water, and two Kekkai Genkai: Ice by combining Water and Wind, and Lava by combining Fire and Earth.
