Questions
1. Why is your character obtaining Sage Mode and/or ?

'''The seal was bestowed upon Jouzai by Orochimaru-sama himself, in the hopes of helping Jouzai reach his maximum potential. Initially, Orochimaru had hoped to utilize Jouzai's body for his own personal purposes, though to a much lesser extent than Kimimaro and Uchiha Sasuke.'''

2. How will your character obtain the Cursed Seal? What type of seal is it? And what kind of power grants it?

In his youth, Jouzai first met Orochimaru during a civil war, in which memebers of the Kinoka Clan were pitted against members of the Kamizuru Clan. Orochimaru took interest in Jouzai's potential and abilities, after witnessing the boy murder countless shinobi first hand. During his childhood, Jouzai was unsure of his own purpose in life beyond fighting for the sake of his people. Orochimaru offered him power in return for working for him, an offer Jouzai initially rejected, though with a degree of convincing, Jouzai fled the scene with Orochimaru. Without Jouzai's assistance, the Kinoka Clan faced extinction, leaving him as the only known living member of the clan after the war.

Jouzai would fulfill his purpose as one of Orochimaru's most loyal soldiers, functioning as a spy. In due time, Orochimaru ran his fair share of experiments on Jouzai, in an attempt to replicate his DNA. In return for his efforts, Orochimaru also branded Jouzai with the Cursed Seal of Heaven, and stationed him to the Sound Three, a lesser branch of the more prestigious Sound Four (音隠れの忍四人衆, Otogakure no Shinobi Yonin Shū). Over the course of several years, Jouzai's loyalty earned him recognition as Orochimaru's next body, though to a much lesser extent than the likes of Kimimaro and Uchiha Sasuke. Jouzai was also given command of one of Orochimaru's hideouts by Orochimaru himself, a testament to both his power and purpose.

When Orochimaru founded Otogakure, Jouzai took responsibility of renewing his clan through several sexual assaults on the women of nearby villages. In the end, Jouzai was never used as a body, as Orochimaru was defeated by Uchiha Sasuke beforehand, and by the time the Sannin had returned, Jouzai had long since defected from the village to pursue other interests.

3. What are the drawbacks of the Cursed Seal?

The cursed seal leaves the user exhausted after a certain time of use, as seen with the Sound Four (though they had a different seal) Also, as seen with Sasuke, the seal was very hard to overcome in it's preliminary stages.

4. Briefly detail what your plans are, at the moment, for your character if he/she is approved for Sage Mode and/or Cursed Seal? What will they do with it? How will they improve or utilize it in a fashion that is unique to them, rather than a rehash of canon character usage or maybe even other fanon characters?
