1. Please indicate the name and article of the Tailed Beast you are applying for.

Kurama, the Nine Tails.

'''2. What is the origin of this beast? How did it come to exist, and what has it done in the time period prior to FC? Is it related to the shinju? If so, what is this relation?'''

By Hagoromo Otsutsuki, created and raised, in the caves is where he spent most of his days. Chillin' out, maxin', relaxin' all the while, while shooting some Bijuudamas out beside the lake. When a guy named Madara, who was up to no good, started making trouble in his neighborhood. He got in one big fight and he was pitted against Hashirama, he said "You're far too dangerous, so chill inside this chick." He woke up sealed in this girl and things were less clear, but then things got even worse when a black Klan guy started throwing a fit. He thought, "nah forget it, gonna just stay out this one." He... woke... up 'round seven or eight, noticed he was in this screaming blonde kid, and just threw his hands up, just about done, and sayin' "this is just bullshit."

'''3. How will your character obtain this tailed beast? If your character is part of a village at the time of the sealing, why would they have been chosen over other candidates to receive the Tailed Beast? If they were not part of a village, how did they manage to seal the beast?'''

Kasuga would've went to find Kurama herself, as she believed that his services would've been best served in service to the village. I'm sorry I don't have a more nice way to explain this, but my real thought for this comes next, during their actual encounter.

Kasuga and Kurama, meet, and Kasuga wants Kurama to join Konoha as an ally by basically signing a summoning contract with her. And of course, he tells her to take her tits and drown in a lake. Unwilling to take no for an answer, the two begin to fight, since Kasuga takes the aggressive stance. And after a titanic battle, Kasuga manages to subdue Kurama, albeit she herself is left weakened but still capable of acting in an attempt to capture him. However, in a most surprisingly turn of events, Kasuga decides to ask her question again, and Kurama again, tells her to shove off.

So she leaves, which actually does surprise Kurama. In all of Kurama's free life prior to Naruto, he was hunted down and captured on the spot. And he could've been captured this time too, but Kasuga refused. So about a day passes and Kasuga returns to the same place, asking Kurama again. And again, despite finding Kasuga to be different from other humans he's encountered, tells her to shove off again. This time, Kurama takes the aggressive stance and attacks Kasuga, who defends. This battle leads to a draw where both of them are rendered badly damaged. Though Kurama possesses advanced healing, he still suffers from the previous day's battle. ANBU operatives arrive to assist Kasuga after she has fallen, and one of the ANBU prepares to use a restraining jutsu on the weakened tailed beast. However, Kasuga orders him to stand down. And demands that they take their leave.

This sort of back and forth continues for a full week, as Kurama and Kasuga engage in this sort of repeated confrontations a full seven times. He's been in the same place the entire time, waiting for her each day, because the human has piqued his interest. Why she was so willing to continue this pointless battles. And on that eighth following day, Kasuga returns once more, but now reveals that she broke her arm in the previous day's fight, to which Kurama now asks her why she is so persistent in this endeavor. She appeals to him that she knows of his service in the past, as Naruto Uzumaki's jinchuriki, and that he could be a valuable comrade in the coming battles. But Kurama then demands to know that if that was true, why hadn't she tried to capture him in the seven other times they had fought one another. Kasuga then explains that she'd have no real victory that way. And that if she did that, Kurama would just be a slave to Konoha rather than a comrade. This prompts Kurama to actually view her in the same light as he did Naruto, his former jinchuriki. As a gesture, he then heals her arm with his power, and then offers that they have one last fight; so as to prove her words true through the same way the two have been communicating through combat this last week with their lives on the line. And of course, as you might expect, this eventually leads to Kurama accepting her offer and signing a summoning contract with her.

'''4. Bonus question: What kind of seal was used for the sealing of the beast? What are it’s strengths and weaknesses?'''

Not applicable.

'''5. What is the relationship between the tailed beast and your character? If they are on good terms, why? If they are on bad terms, what plans does your character have to improve this relationship?'''

One of the reasons why I chose the route explained in question 3 is because, as a martial artist, I firmly believe in the bond forged by souls that fight with all their might and exchange thoughts during combat. I believe Kasuga and Kurama should have a bond like that. Their bond is forged through a mutual understanding of one each other through fighting and understanding one another's motives, which is arguably a different direction taken with Naruto and Kurama in the canon.

'''6. What are the powers of the Tailed Beast? How do they work? How do these powers fit in with the identity of the beast itself? Roughly how much chakra/natural energy/whatever does your best have? What of these powers are accessible with the Jinchuuriki?'''

Beyond what Kurama has already demonstrated in the canon, power-wise, I see no reason to change anything nor to add anything unnecessary.

'''7. What is the relationship between the beast and it’s jin? How proficient are they with it’s power?'''

Not applicable.

'''8. Briefly detail what your plans are, at the moment, for your character if he/she is approved for the selected tailed beast? 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?'''

Kasuga and Kurama will work together in the same vein as a summoner and their summoned beast. Her fire release ninjutsu will supplement Kurama's fierce physical attacks ideally.
