1. Why is your character obtaining Sage Mode and/or ?
 * Sage Mode — To accent his senjutsu fighting style.

2. How will your character learn Sage Mode? Which animal will they learn it from?
 * It is a sort of peek event within his clan. As a user of the Koraichi (see my kekkei genkai app for details), he naturally has learned to wield and make use of senjutsu chakra. Those members of his clan able to master the genetic ability then make a pilgrimage to the Ryūhone Desert in order to train among the dragons to learn and master Sage Mode.

3. Initially, will your character have access to an Imperfect Sage Mode or a Perfect Sage Mode? If Imperfect, will it progress to a Perfect Sage Mode?
 * Koraichi is, in and of itself, a type of imperfect Sage Mode. Therefore, learning Sage Mode itself will be a method of completion: in short, a perfect Sage Mode will be obtained.

4. How will your character obtain the Cursed Seal? What type of seal is it? And what kind of power grants it?
 * N/A

5. What are the drawbacks of the Cursed Seal?
 * N/A

5. 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?
 * As a Sage Mode user, Jinpachi can sync himself with nature to alter composition of sand to form glass which will be a form of earth ninjutsu. This glass makes up the majority of his fighting style. He can arrange this glass into a variety of shapes, weapons, and techniques. He will also summon dragons rather than the three main summons (toads, slugs, and snakes) for Sage Mode users.
