General Description: For the longest time, Akira and the rest of his family moved around in disguise, resembling merchants and travelers to keep their identities a secret. Even after settling into a village located in a dark corner of the world, where they figured no one would come looking for them, and no one would suspect several of the infamous Uchiha Clan to be living, they would still continue to live disguised, leaving their clan heritage a secret in fear that someone with knowledge of the clan and the potentially powerful Dojutsu that they could wield would come looking for them to expedite the process of activating and stealing them. When a group of strong individuals calling themselves "The Headbands" seized control of the village, some of the Uchiha planned to rebel, but this decision was ultimately decided against. The safety of what remained of the clan came first. Since the appearance of a mysterious group of foreigners to the village, a mysterious group who exterminated The Headbands, most Uchiha, feeling that they no longer had to hide who they were seeing as the white haired individual who lead them appeared to be fair and just, and was almost single handedly responsible for getting the village back in working order, most began to don the traditional Uchiha garb. Akira is one of these individuals. Looking slightly older that what he really is, he has black hair parted in the center, and pale colored skin from living in the dark for the majority of his 14 years. Typically he wears a standard dark blue Uchiha Clan shirt, black knee length shorts, black sandals and black finger less gloves. When out in the world, he wears a utility belt across his right shoulder. (289/200)


Personality: A typical child in his shoes would be expected to be moody, angry, and on their way to graduating into a lifestyle of villany and crime. Akira wasn't the typical child, even with the long and dirty history of their clan. He was very intelligent for his young age, having listened to all of the old stories of the Uchiha Clan, and having read up on them himself through old scrolls to see that some of the stories he and some of the other young ones were told were lies, to preserve the honor and dignity of the clan. Even knowing that many of the Uchiha from the past had been branded as villains instead of the heroes that the elders painted them out to be didn't change Akira like others who'd found out the truth; one day he planned to be a proper shinobi.

Akira had no grand plans of becoming a super hero. He knew all about the infamous Dojutsu of their clan, the Sharingan, and all of their forms. He knew how to obtain them, and how to go about getting their most powerful forms, but he was in no rush to activate his ocular powers, when some of his siblings and many of the other young ones were. Having more wisdom than most of his peers, Akira knew that not all Uchiha were lucky enough to obtain the Dojutsu, and he often said that were he one of the lucky few, that "it'll happen when it happens." While most of the other young ones were in a rush, Akira took things slow and steady. When he read books, he re-read them just in case he missed something. When he and the young ones learned something new, most often Akira could still be found training long after everyone else had quit.

Overall, Akira's attitude and demeanor could be described as "chill." A typical young one was arrogant, brash and cocky, confident in their abilites; yet Akira could find no sense in acting as if he were better or above someone. He is quiet, often found with his face in a book; wise, knowing when to and when not to act; and patient, in no rush to be the strongest, to go off and see the world, or to be a relationship with any of the whiny females he constantly found himself surrounded by. As most found him to be slightly on the "geeky" side, this was fine by him. (412/400)

History: The Uchiha are descendants of Indra Ōtsutsuki, the oldest son of the Sage of the Six Paths. Through Indra, the Uchiha inherited the Sage's "eyes", granting them powerful spiritual energy and chakra. As part of the so-called "Curse of Hatred" first displayed by Indra, Uchiha are subject to powerful emotions: these emotions typically start as love for a friend or family member that then become overpowering hatred when the object of their love is lost. This loss, whether actually experienced or merely threatened, awakens an Uchiha's Sharingan. It is due to the Sharingan that the Uchiha have received much of their fame and notoriety...

Akira knew the rest of the story. He knew how his clan rivaled with the Senju throughout the ages, how all the fighting resulted in deaths on both sides, and had no desire to be part of the Curse of Hatred. Akira was aware of his clan's whole history, even the parts the elders didn't want the young ones to know. Some of his ancestors leave before the eventual massacre that caused the clan's numbers to dwindle to a handful, to begin wandering the world as merchants, travelers and bodyguards for hire. Clan clothing and traditions were forbidden, as to remain in hiding. Ancestors wander the lands, forests and deserts, increasing their numbers ever so slowly, keeping the young educated on the ways of shinobi and the history of their once proud clan.

Fast forward through the centuries to the rivalry between Tenshi and Akuma Uchiha. The two men were inseparable in their youth, and would constantly push and test each other in combat. With no clear winner in their many fights, this would push both to go farther, go harder, learn more. Tenshi was more easy going than the more fierce Akuma. It was the the typical tale of good vs evil, until she appeared: Hana Uchiha. With unrivaled beauty and the ability to capture the attention of all who laid eyes upon her, both boys were in love with the girl, but it was the kinder Tenshi who won her hand over Akuma, whose jealousy got the better of him. Akuma kidnapped Hana and orchestrated the murders of Tenshi's parents, brothers and sisters. It was this act that first awakened Tenshi's Sharingan.

Tenshi was able to track down Akuma and effortlessly plow through all of his forces. In a final battle against Akuma, Tenshi was forced to kill his oldest friend. With Hana's rescue, she and Tenshi would become a couple, and go on to have 5 kids. Their first child, a boy, grew to have the same anger and tenacity in combat that Akuma did, and he inherits his name. Their second child, a girl, blossoms into a beauty reminiscent of her mother, and often has many of the males competing for her hand. The third child, a boy, turns out to be easy going much like his father, but a terror in combat. Their fourth child, a girl, also inherits their mother's incredible beauty, but she shows no interest in any male that couldn't first defeat her in combat. Furthermore, she develops a bother complex with Akuma, who only seemed interested in getting stronger and faster.

Their fifth child, Akira, is unlike any of his siblings. Trained as shinobi from the time they could walk, while Akira eventually grew to enjoy the way of the shinobi: fighting and getting stronger, he didn't let it consume him. Akira did not have the same mentality of his siblings; he was calm and collected, and seemed to look into situations more deeply than his brothers and sisters. While his siblings seemed to rush through the lessons taught to them by their parents, Akira took his time. He was often made fun of because of this, but it was during the common Uchiha ritual - performing the Great Fireball Technique to be recognized as an adult - that Akira shined. Of the first 4 children to perform the technique, arguably it is Akuma who performed best, but Akira out-does all 4 of his older siblings, producing a fireball so large and menacing that it forms a large crater in the earth's surface.

The parents and siblings begin to look upon the relatively quiet and detached Akira with new eyes. Originally convinced that Akira would be a washout or a failed shinobi, Tenshi and Hana come to see that he'd actually been paying attention during lessons, and also see the purpose of his staying behind and continuing to train while everyone else rushed. A sibling rivalry begins that Akira ignores for the most part. His youngest sister's brother complex spills over onto him, which Akira also ignores. Through eavesdropping and some detective work of his own, Akira comes to find out the dirty history of the Uchiha Clan. He discovers the Sharingan, it's other forms, and the way of going about obtaining them, but it changes him none. Although they irritated him to no end, Akira had no desire to kill any of his siblings or friends to obtain their eyes just to become stronger. He couldn't speak for his siblings though, and often thought that the day would come where one of his brothers or sisters would try to take his eyes.

The first years of his life were spent wandering around villages, deserts and wilderness. His clan - consisting of about 5 families beside his - encounters a village in constant darkness called Kurayamigakure, and settles there in secret under the surname "Michida." A gang of hoodlums calling themselves "The Headbands" seizes control of the village and begin running things through force and extortion. Many Uchiha began banding together to route The Headbands, but the elders forbid this. As time passes some decide to defy the elders, but they soon see why they were denied: another mysterious group comes along and does the job for them, lead by a blindfolded man with white hair and rumored to have ties to the Uchiha. The white haired man is almost single handedly responsible for the village being restored to working order, and, feeling that they no longer have a reason to hide, the clan begins to function as they should.

It reaches their ears that the white haired man, who is named Alec Kane, plans to run Kurayamigakure as a traditional Hidden Village. Akira figures that perhaps there is much to learn from Alec Kane and his associates. He adopts the title of Genin. It was always a dream of his to live in a Hidden Village ran by powerful shinobi, and it looks as if that dream was beginning to come true.

IC STORY

Akira meets Heiwa Uchiha, and the 2 of them begin doing missions for the village. After meeting Alec Kane, he takes the 2 of them on as his students, teaching them valuable techniques. Alec orchestrates a scene in which he threatens to kill Akira and Heiwa, and the scare of the scene causes both of their Sharingan to awaken. Alec afterwards explains that he never intended to hurt them, but he had to make the scene seem real, with the purpose of the kids being fully able to defend themselves in case someone appeared to try exploiting the children and stealing their eyes.

They befriend a female named Namie, who is the 3rd member of their squad, and a student of Alec the same as them. They train together and become quite close. Alec creates weapons for his students, and takes them on a mission in which they free a female assassin from a lone group of the Headband gang that once ruled Kurayamigakure. In the battle with them, Namie seemingly dies. With the loss of a good friend before their eyes, the 2 Uchihas activate Mangekyo Sharingan.

Nami actually survives her ordeal, and they all finish off what remains of the Headbands. Upon returning to the village, Akira's and heiwa's families all meet, and it is revealed that they are actually cousins. Heiwa, having done research on the Uchiha Clan, proposes an idea upon Alec: instead of one of them stealing the other's eyes, they willingly swap to obtain the strongest form of the eye not seen in centuries: the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.

Alec takes the kids to Sabakugakure and pitches the idea to Holeman, a child prodigy in the medical field. Holeman himself is curious as to what may happen when 2 members willing swap eyes, and goes through with the operation. it turns out to be a success, and the 2 children become the most powerful members of their clan sect, realizing abilities and techniques unheard of in a long time.

When Akira turns 15 he is granted leave of Kurayamigakure, to go offf and see the world.

RP Sample: Akuma belches a large fireball. It travels a distance before exploding upon the water's surface, leaving behind steam and bubbles. The parents node their heads, and Akuma looks confident.

Hotaru belches a fireball not as large as Akuma's, but it burns somewhat longer. It too explodes on the water's surface, leaving satisfied expressions on their parent's faces, and Horaru to stick her tongue out at her siblings.

Kenshi belches a fireball next. Comparable with Akuma's, the parents are satisfied with what they see as it explodes on the water's surface. The easy going Kenshi simply shrugged his shoulders.

Furīku is next, and exhales a fireball that is as large as Akuma's and as hot as Hotaru's. The parents nod, and Furīku, her brother complex in full effect, looks to Akuma for his recognition, to which he simply nods, causing her to develop red cheeks.

Akira, shaking his head, is up last. The siblings and the parents expect nothing from him, as he is nothing like his brothers and sisters, and took much longer at things that they seem to breeze through. His brothers and sisters laugh at him, to which he shows no response. His parents almost tell him that he didn't have to participate, until he produces a tremendous fireball larger and hotter than all of his sibling's combined. It explodes with such force that the water before them is evaporated, and a crater is carved into the earth. His parents and siblings look on in complete shock...
