Maraku Kagetsu

He always jokes and is cocky. He always thinks he can do anything which something he can do. He almost seems to nice to be an Akatsuki. Even you fight him he is someone else. Like another soul eats up his nice one. He would take your soul without a moment to spare. In less he is in the mood to play with you and torture. He is almost always in a good mood other them fighting.

Maraku is a very laid back person. He's very funny and always makes jokes and remarks.
He's very active and outgoing. He is intelligent and very elite. He's very good at what he does. He never shares his past. He always looks at the positives if he gets in trouble. When he was in the academy he always was a 'smartass'. Even when he is in combat he makes smart remarks and comments. If someone makes fun of him he just goes and makes fun of them back.
He has a very loud mouth .He has 3. When he was younger he all ways used to get in trouble for talking to much.

That is what made him so popular though. He was good to be around with. He is an Aries. He was born in April. He is almost never serious even when it comes to medical. He sometimes act immature. He always tries to think of the positives and helps out people when they need it.

Some members of The Kagetsu Clan display a special Kekei Genkai that allows them to temporarily steal the properties of solids and some liquids that come in contact with there bare hands. When they take the properties of solids there skin becomes as hard as the substance they took the properties from, they take on the same color and texture of the solid. They can also manipulate there bodily structure while using this ability and while only using this ability, they can not manipulate there bodily structure without taking the properties of something first.

This ability manifest in four stages:

D-Ranked
1st Stage- The user will be able to take the properties of what ever solid they touch with their arms and legs and can keep it up for a small period of time. This meaning only their arms or legs are allowed to be changed into another form.(1-3 Post) This can begin as early as 6-9 years of age and often last until 13-15 years of age.

Note:This can\'t be any other form besides plastic/styrophone/cardboard/alluminum.

C-Ranked
2nd Stage - The user is able to take the properties of what ever solid they touch up to the shoulders and they can begin to manipulate there bodily structure create spikes and shields as well to increase there strength. This meaning everything from feet up to his neck will change into solid. They can also hold this for longer periods of time. (1- 5 Post) This often starts at around puberty.

Note:This form has all D-Ranked abilities adding wood/rock/stone/glass.
2nd note: No off branch such as marble or diamond.

B-Ranked
3rd Stage - The user is able to take the property of what ever he touches all over the body.Expect in this stage the user can choose what part of the body that takes the property. The body manipulation becomes complete almost to it\'s full extent. They can now take property of what they touch, create spikes and also use this property as projectile weaponry. They can also hold this for a very large amount of time. (1-7, 7+ depending on mastery level over Kekei Genkai.)

Note:This form take on all previous forms adding Marble/Common Metals/Bone/take forms of liquid.
Metals: Tin/Steel/Copper/Nickel.

A-Ranked
4rd Stage - The user will be able to take the properties of what ever solid they touch all over there body. The bodily manipulation becomes complete and can be used to fullest extent. They can also transform there body into liquid form. They can also hold this for a very large amount of time. (1-9 9+ depending on mastery level over Kekei Genkai.) This happens randomly, some never make it this far.
Note: This form takes all the previous adding Diamond/Titamium/also takes on any liquid form and manipulates it as well.

This needs a 3 post cool down and can be used three times per topic

Weaknesses What ever form the Kagestu takes they also take their weakness. Such as Earth is weak to Lightning. Water is weak to earth. Metal weak to fire. etc. This counts for anything I change into. The chakra consumption wouldn\'t be great unless the member takes on a form that would not be their elemental affienty.
Naote Marble and Diamond can be cut by chakra. So can all other forms of rock.

Note: This clan can only change into solids or liquids. Meaning gases and light are out the question. Only solids or liquids.

Pre-Academy
Maraku was born in the Village of Konohagakure. There, he learned everything he knew, and still is. He has sworn to protect his village even though if it meant risking his life. That seemed to be a tradition in the Zenpachi family. During the birth of Maraku, his Parents had promised to raise him up to be a great Shinobi, one that knew the laws of a Shinobi, and would never think to break them. One that would never betray his village, and hopefully the next Hokage; Maraku Zenpachi.

At a tender age, (3) Maraku was taken to his Father's training grounds by his Mother to watch. Maraku was just a child, and knew nothing of what his Father was always doing there. All what his Father did at that time never seemed to gain his interest. But his Father's beautiful techniques seemed to. The 10 flower bomb, sprout, grappling vines and so on. It seemed Maraku was often interested in plants. Why he was interested in this harmful substance was unknown to those around him, but would soon be revealed later in his future.

Academy
Today, today, was the day Maraku was to be enrolled in the Shinobi academy. Where he would learn the rules, and ways of the Shinobi. Today, Maraku turned Seven years old, and his Father thought now was a good time for him to be enrolled in the Academy. After all, he was already Talented, and could defeat most of the students who were already enrolled in the Academy thanks to the teachings of his Father.

Maraku was beaming with joy. Today, would be the day he would prove to everyone in the village that he had what it took to become a great leader, and the next Hokage; a powerful Shinobi. He took his first step into the classroom, sat down, and listened to what the Teacher had to teach him. He was intrigued by all the teachings. It seemed his Father had been holding back on a lot, but that didn't matter, that was what he was here for. If his Father had told him all he knew about being a Shinobi, then there would be no need of going to the Academy. It would just be a repetition of all what he had been thought at home, and he was glad his Father had held back.

Maraku was a good listener. He listened very well to all what the Teacher had to say. He took notes down, and practiced all what he had been thought at school at home, and even learned more about what he had been thought at home whenever he asked his Father. He was now ready for the next step of becoming a great shinobi; The Genin Exams.
