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

Kokuō (穆王, Kokuō), more commonly known as the Five-Tails (五尾, Gobi).

'''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?'''

Since this is the Fanon Tailed Beast question, not the standard, I’ll just leave this be.

'''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?'''

Han, the previous jinchuuriki of the Five Tails before the war, was not sealed with all of Kokuo. Instead, part of it was sealed into Gekijou.

Why so? In this application, Han and Gekijou were subjected to Iwagakure's attempt to create physically powerful monsters. Han was the more public known one, and Gekijou was a low-life kept in secret. Han would go on to use his steam powers with the Steam Armor, in order to enhance his physical prowess. Caught up into the noble life though, he wouldn't really be able to expand his prowess much from that.

Gekijou on the other hand, would be trained by Iwagakure's best in taijutsu, resulting in his obsession with physical prowess (even learning other natures just to augment his physical ability). But it would pay off, with Kokuo's power along with other styles, his physical prowess would allow him to survive the Fourth War, and eventually defect from Iwagakure completely.

Gekijou was chosen because he volunteered. Eager to get out of his poor lifestyle, he volunteered to accept a “demon” inside him and be used, to escape his lifestyle. Rather, his father did volunteer to get him out of a poor lifestyle. Hoping his son would understand he gave him up to go along with Han in Iwagakure’s project.

Gekijou would later defect from Iwagakure due to this despite his father’s wishes when he realized the truth. Having mastered the part of Kokuo he held within him, this was not hard. Eventually, after Han’s death and the Fourth Shinobi War, he would be drawn (or rather the part of Kokuo he had) to the original beast that had been released into the wild. Eventually meeting face to face, he would befriend the true beast just like he did the part within him. In doing so, Kokuo transferred itself (by chakra of course) into Gekijou, giving him the entire beast.

The seal held of course, due to how the terms Gekijou is with Kokuo, which are explained below. Even with the whole of the Five Tails, the seal (similar to the Four Symbols Seal and Generic Sealing) held, as it was not forcibly sending chakra through. Instead the 2 shared chakra through the seal, allowing Gekijou to become a master jinchuriki, instead of a part jin.

'''4. 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?'''

Kokuo and Gekijou are on good terms. And that has come from time. At first of course, even the part of Kokuo Gekijou was branded with hated him. But overtime (before the defection), Gekijou was able to befriend the beast as they were forced to work together. Having understood the poor lifestyle a bit, he actually did understand how it was to be mistreated like Kokuo did (Iwa mistreated him a lot). And they finally became true friends, after Gekijou defected, releasing the part of Kokuo he had and him from discrimination at 13 (age may become older). From there, it became a matter of him mastering the powers.

When the whole of Kokuo came around, Gekijou discovered he wasn’t that different (if different at all) from the Kokuo part he had. Befriending became easy, and within a short time, Kokuo willing entered Gekijou’s seal, transforming him into a master jin. Kokuo would eventually teach him Sage Mode and life lessons (more on that in a Sage Mode app). They are on such good terms, they know each other by name (after the full beast entered Gekijou).

'''5. 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? How proficient are they with it’s power?'''

Kokuo essentially has its canon abilities, and chakra levels. The powers of steam it has, I would consider plus being able to use as an amazing physical enhancer is a release as well. Like it is able to manipulate steam to its whims in a similar way to a cross between Hiding in Mist and Boil Release. If allowed, the Five Tails would have Boil Release too. Gekijou has all these powers because he has mastered Kokuo’s powers into his unique jin form.

'''6. 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?'''

Kokuo will serve as Gekijou’s partner in battle that’ll help him achieve his goals. However Kokuo will also drive him eventually to return to Iwa. In doing so, he would start up a revolution to restore Iwa to its status as a great nation, alongside Ikioi (another character of mine). As they develop their bond even closer, Kokuo will be able to convince Gekijou to do certain things, like invest in saving Iwagakure, and helping people in need. Basically, Kokuo will help the hardened Gekijou, become more “human”, that is more caring, as time goes on.
