1) How has your Senju come to be? How did they survive the dilution of the bloodline? Before answering this question, if your Senju is the child of Tsunade, be sure to validate this with the FC operators first.

No, he is not a child of Tsunade. Ryūken Senju,  is not a Senju in real sense unlike Sannoto. Ryūken was created because of the efforts of multiple scientists trying to create something beyond human while using human gene as a base. In order to create a superior creature and ensure the evolution of mankind. This child, was originally a test-tube baby from his conception, Ryūken 's genetic structure was altered by scientists with Animal DNA, engineering him to be capable of feats beyond those of a normal human. The Senju genetic material was used to ensure survival since Senju’s have extraordinary life-force, chakra and healing ability. This coupled with various drugs and animal DNA created something. This took years of research, and finally Ryūken was born 2 years after the 4th Shinobi War. In order to make sure this child survive, he was given high amounts of nutrients, vitamins and other supplements. He was trained from the age of 3 and with his superior intellect he continued to excel in fields that normal humans take years to master. Aged 6, they took a sample of his DNA and artificially matured it and with the corrupt government’s support they caused his DNA to interact with every female currently admitted in the hospital. After the death of several females whose bodies rejected his DNA. Finally, a female survived and after 9 months gave birth to a female child, this child later came to be known as Fuurin. This way, unknowingly, Ryūken became a father at the age of 7. However, this was never revealed to him. However, like we all know life isn’t a bed of roses, in order to prove his loyalty and control his emotions he was trained for an year. Later, they put his loyalty to test by asking him to shot down his birth mother as they had no use for her. At first, he was reluctant but later on made up his mind to do it. But, being an essentially good man inside he was unable to pull the trigger. He was electrocuted that moment instantly by the Commander’s cane which caused his muscles to contract and causing him to accidentally shoot down his own mother. He was thoroughly brain washed after this incident. Little else is known about the Senju's early life other than the fact that a strong sense of duty, honor, and humility was instilled in him; perhaps due to his strict and disciplined lifestyle. Ryūken was trained by Konoha military to become the perfect soldier from an young age. Some time later, he volunteered for a medical experiment designed to stimulate his adrenal gland and parathyroid in the hopes of increasing a soldier's ability to resist truth serums and to harden his bone structure. The experiment did not go as expected, and he fell into a coma. When he awakened however, he discovered that he was now capable of controlling all his mental activities just with mere will power. However, on his mission he choose to violate the protocol in order to save the lives of civilians living there. He tried to go back to the army but they refused to even recognize him as their fellow soldier. They tricked him into thinking that they want him back in reality they just brought him back to the facility to take a sample of his blood and wipe his memory. This caused him to go back to being just another civilian of the Land of Fire. However, the experimentations seemingly greatly slowed down the effects of aging. Although, he will never truly overcome the trauma he experienced during his childhood when he accidentally killed his mother.

2) Is your character from Konoha? Another village? A missing-nin? Detail below which of these best fits your character. If from another village or a missing ninja, please explain below how this came to be.

Ans: Yes, he is from Konoha. No, he is not a missing-nin. His rank has been taken away from him, he is a disgrace to the army. As stated earlier, he is an experimentation and to be honest a failed experiment and he’s of no use to them. They already have his DNA and the entire procedure file. Plus, he is currently of the radar and before leaving the army his memories have been wiped clean. So, according to him he’s just another civilian in the land of Fire. Currently, he is unaware of his full name, “Ryūken Senju”, that is. He discovered his name from the tags around his neck saying, “Ryūken” and “Rebirth”. (Yes, ironically the project was named Rebirth as well). Missing-nin? Umm…not by choice at least. If I had to assign a category, “mercenary” or “sailor” would be the closest thing. Unless, ex-military counts. I would rather keep him unclassified, seeing how the government works they would probably erase his files and completely wipe out his identity.

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

Ans: My story, involves struggle of a man who has no knowledge of his name, country or origin. Fighting for his survival, honing his skills, discovering his abilities. Trying to use them for the greater good but he will always be rejected by the world. The world would look at him as some kind of alien. He get’s tired, he’s worn out and he acknowledges his limits but he has a strong moral compass and an indomitable will which always inspires him to do things for the greater good. It’s not just a story, it’s a journey, uncovering secrets, solving mystery. This is a story about Mercy. It's also about revenge... justice... and fighting for yourself. Finding what’s lost. He has forgotten his skills, his muscles have softened and has lost a lot more than automatic reflexes, his identity. It’s his time to shine again, train harder than ever, learn things, accept defeat and search for truth. Sometimes there's a clue to the present in the past. And, this is exactly what his story is about. In spite of his virtues, however, he is plagued by his status as man out of time. He has no idea how he grew up. There are times, when he is troubled by terrible nightmares which are of course fragments of his memory and mostly it’s his child-hood memory of shooting down his own mother. Causing him to develop a strong sense of guilt and responsibility. Essentially, I will be incorporating the elements of seamanship turning him into a sailor who will travel the world and yes, he will clash against pirates. He will need help of several characters because in the end, he is just another guy made of flesh and blood. This is unique, because it has technology, action, drama, relationships, pirates and most importantly the animal DNA in his body sometimes take over his human side. My story will also cover this part, it will show how a man faces his inner demon (here the demon has been stated to be the animal DNA, bit of euphemism). We all have an animal inside us. This is unarguably something that has never been attempted on this site, at least not to my knowledge. I know, a lot of you have a lot of questions, but I will explain his entire background and entire story, abilities, etc. only when I am allowed to make the page and you all will be able to witness the development of this character. Also, no. He won’t have a God-complex but perhaps a bit of messiah complex is never bad, is it? Then, there is the typical reunion, Fuurin meets her father but I assure you, it won't be very conventional or headless nagging. Right when you think you got this figured out, boom there is a change and everything goes into a different direction. Again, an unconventional and unorthodox approach by me. Anyways, thank you for listening.
