Ryuuma Seishin

Ryuuma Seishin (流間精神) is a Jōnin native to and assistant translator for Gaku no Ryoushi, a group of history buffs whose goals are aimed towards preserving the past. Ryuuma always had a passion for history, finding any possible way to study it, no matter how many times she hit a brick wall in her studies. Whenever she'd hit a brick wall, she'd cross reference different points in that era to help fill in the gaps. Her studies have been read by many chronologists, who have confirmed a lot of her historical theories. One of these chronologists was Geiha Arashi, one of the most esteemed heads of knowledge in Konohagakure, who has spent years translating ancient texts into a modern, readable format. When she met Geiha, she saw many forms of books in her residence, all translated from texts with languages so ancient, most people are unable to even translate a single word from them. When Geiha opened her Library of Time after renting out an old building, Ryuuma helped renovate the building, helping Geiha put in bookshelves, organized by time period. Putting in what texts Geiha translated, Ryuuma used her historical talents to determine which era in history they belonged in by cross referencing how frequent the language was used, and how frequently it kept a specific dialect. Geiha, who was very interested in how historically inclined Ryuuma was, she offered her an opportunity to put her historical talents to use, forming the group Gaku no Ryoushi. From there, they began recruiting like minded individuals, who all helped not just to gather texts, but also help determine their positions in history. Since Ryuuma was the first to be recruited, she was assigned as assistant translator, with Geiha teaching her many different dialects lost in time, while Ryuuma also taught Geiha various points in history based on the languages Geiha knew. Over time, the two formed a personal relationship with each other, having bonded very closely as they helped each other bring history back to life.

Background
Ryuuma's life was very average for most of her life. She was born on a relatively cool April, near the end of the month. By the time she was two, she had an interest in reading, and would always move around the house looking for something to read. By the time she was five, she had an advanced reading level that rivaled most high level academy graduates. When she turned ten, she was enrolled into the Konohagakure Academy, where she put her knowledge to great use. Ryuuma was always a quick learner in basic techniques and passed her technique studies fairly quickly. Though given her more academic approaches in the academy, she was pestered a lot, often pushed around by the other students. This is where she learned about her other talents; Fire Release. Constant pestering often pushed her over the edge, causing her to lash back with fire, which kept the bullies back for the most part. By the age of eleven, she graduated from the academy, earning the rank of Genin. From there, she was assigned to a team where she showed great strides. With her talents in historical knowledge and fire release, she proved herself time and time again, earning the respect of her master. When she was sixteen, she enrolled into the Chunin Exams.

By this time, she has expanded her usage of Fire Release greatly. Making it to the semifinals, she showed her opposition just how much she learned in Fire Release. One of her opponents was a bully in the past who she had particular problems with for quite some time. Though he proved to be strong, Ryuuma's expertise in Fire Release turned the tide. By manipulating the heat his body gave off, she tossed him around like a ragdoll until he conceded defeat. This pattern would continue throughout the semifinals. As she moved her way into the finals, she began training her Fire Release much more during the training period prior to the finals. And it showed. By the time the finals came along, her pyrokinetic abilities shined even greater, allowing her to create heat fields around virtually any object, stopping it in its path. She was able to defeat a shurikenjutsu expert via the usage of her pyrokinesis, creating fields of heat around the shuriken and stopping them in their tracks and redirecting them until she forced an opening into his offense, and delivering a strong burst of fire to defeat him. Finishing the finals, Ryuuma became a Chunin by the age of seventeen. For the next seven years, she continued proving herself, not just in her skills in Fire Release, but by contributing to history by recovering and fixing historical documents once long lost. She was able to recreate, word for word, several documents that were destroyed during the First Shinobi World War. By cross-referencing different events going in during that time period via records from the other villages, she rewrote the documents word by word for days, until she was finally finished. The documents were sent to a chronologist, who was able to confirm the legitimacy of the document's texts by going back to some of the documents that survived the war. Her accolades in historical knowledge allowed her to become a Jōnin by the age of twenty four.

It was during this time that Geiha began to take interest in her. Meeting up with Ryuuma, Geiha told her what she did as a hobby, translating ancient texts into a modern language. Equally interested in her, Ryuuma looked through the texts Geiha translated, and was able to pinpoint which eras they came from. With a flash of inspiration, Geiha recommended they put their knowledge to good use and show this knowledge to the world. Agreeing with her, the two noticed a building for rent. Geiha, using the funds she accrued from missions she had completed over the years, rented the building out. Ryuuma and Geiha began slowly renovating it into a library. Ryuuma labelled each bookshelf with different eras to place the translated texts in. After they were done, the library was still fairly empty, but the two saw the start of something great; Geiha came up with the name "Gaku no Ryoushi" for the two, but Ryuuma advised that with more people, they could fill up the library much quicker. Agreeing with her, Geiha recruited likeminded individuals into the group, and the hunters quickly made their stride, going across the world with the Hokage's blessing, and with the permissions of the Daimyo and Kage that ruled over their respective countries.

Appearance
Ryuuma has a fairly interesting appearance. With lustrous, orange hair fashioned into a bob cut, it shines brightly against the sun. Her sapphire blue eyes are always shown with a laid back expression, while the rest of her face follows suit. Below the neck, Ryuuma wears a unique outfit she created, using a protective mesh that she weaved between the fibers. The outfit is a hooded attire that takes on the appearance of a suit of armor, with a white overpiece patterned with a unique symbol on the chest. Below the outfit is a black bodysuit, made of the same protective weave. She wears a pair of wide rimmed gloves and boots that keep the armor motif.

Personality
Ryuuma is every personification of bookworm one could think of. Shy, studious, intelligent, Ryuuma often keeps to herself, immersed in historical documents during most of the day she's not pursuing texts with the Gaku no Ryoushi. Laid back, she doesn't do much when she's not pursuing her duties, often sticking to reading whenever possible. Despite her laid back nature, she's very caring, especially towards Geiha, who she has formed a close bond with. She has a somewhat ecstatic outlook when finding something new to appease her, usually in the form of something she's never read before. Her lust for knowledge can often cause her to be careless, and she has gotten herself into rash situations from it, though she has managed to pull herself long enough to recover from the situation and stay focused on the task at hand.

Abilities
Ryuuma is an excellent practitioner of ninjutsu, specifically in her affinity, Fire Release. She spent years dedicated to the craft of fire, pushing it to limits even the Uchiha would find impressive. Years of chakra intensive training with her Fire Release allows her to use even the most demanding techniques with little effort on her part, expending very little energy in its utilization. But she has taken it a step further than that; By manipulating the heat around an object, she can utilize an improvised form of telekinesis, allowing her to lift both objects, and opponents, and send them flying. This incredible skill in Fire Release allows Ryuuma to shift the tide to her advantage, making most tools largely useless as she stops them in their tracks, even throwing them back towards her opponent. More to Come.
