CONTACT/TEAM PREFERENCES

A comment separate from your app with your name, email, and team preferences. Making it a separate comment lets us keep it screened, thus keeping your team preferences private.

For the time zone field, feel free to make a note if working bizarre hours makes you effectively on a different time zone than stated.

"Team preferences" is a catch-all field for any thoughts you might have regarding your character's placement. For example, you might want a team that will put up with your character's sociopathy, or has a certain "feel" to it, or is friendly to your time zone, or maybe you don't think your character looks good in orange, and so on! This is also the spot to let us know if there are teams you DON'T want to be on. While you're not required to put anything here, don't say you have no preference unless you really, honestly have NOTHING to say on the subject! If you've already apped and realized you'd forgotten something? Make another comment!

Character Name: Recca Hanabishi
Canon: Flame of Recca (manga)
Reference Link: wikipedia

Character History:
Recca was born 400 years ago to the head of the Hokage ninjas, sent to the future to escape the destruction of his own clan. Adopted as a baby by a fireworks maker, he grew up to be a relatively normal punk with an obsession for ninjas. He met a girl named Yanagi Sakoshita when she was getting harassed by a couple of boys and saved her from them. He discovered that she had healing abilities which she used to heal a dying dog. So he decided to share his secret with her. He could, for reasons unknown to him, control fire. He swore to become her ninja and to protect her always, ignoring how he promised his friends, Fuuko Kirisawa and Domon Ishijima, to be their ninjas if they beat him to a fight.

His mother, Kagerou, managed to find him after wandering for 400 years and tried to test his powers by pitting him against Fuuko and Tokiya Mikagami. She was training him for meeting Kurei, his older half-brother who also managed to travel to the future. Kurei, ordered by his adopted father, Kouran Mori, had Yanagi kidnapped along with Recca’s history professor who was knowledgeable about the history of the Hokage ninjas. Kouran Mori was after the secret to immortality, which was possible from either exploiting the girl with the healing powers or by finding the secrets to the super powerful weapons harnessed by the Hokage ninjas: the madougu.

Thus starts Recca’s mission to protect his princess (Yanagi), break his mother’s curse of immortality and to punch the living daylights out his brother. This being a 90s shounen manga, he’s aided by his friends: Fuuko, Domon, Mikagami (they’re not really friendly friends), Kogane and the new ones that they beat up and made along the way.

Personality:

Recca is a lot like your standard 90s shounen series hero. He’s brash, he’s cocky, he’s a bit of a punk. He’s not very smart. In fact, he only gets good grades in history classes and that’s if the topic has something to do with ninjas. He’s hot headed and he’s known for getting into fights. He pulls pranks. Sometimes he steals fireworks from his father’s workshop to either show off or use for fights. Overall, Recca’s not very refined.

However, he’s the type of person who values honor. He values honor over reason, as some of his fights have shown. And he has this very old-fashioned view on things. For example, he will never ever hit a girl (unless she’s Fuuko, Fuuko doesn’t count), even in a fight. He believes in fulfilling his set goals in a manner that makes the people he cares about happy, even if it means sacrificing himself. He can come across as simple minded as far as his philosophies go, because he just couldn’t be assed to complicate things. But these traits have made him suitable to lead a team like the Hokage. He’s not so serious as to stop being a friend to his team mates, and he’s no tactician as far as planning ahead goes, but his attitude and beliefs are helpful during stressful situations.

Oh, and as far as romance goes, he’s dumber than a fifth grader.
