Updated Genin with some tweaks to summon and history and jutsus
Name:Hebi Tenrai, Crimson Snake of the Hidden Mist
Age :24
Gender:Male
Kekkei Genkai: Blood of the Ryuichi
The Hebi clan were once human attendants that served and worshiped the snakes of Ryuchi caves as dietys. Several even became snake sages and eventually the bloodline manifested small portions of the sages natural affinity with snakes, becomign a bloodline of its own.
The Hebi clan's devotion to Ryuichi caves is still strong and present and they emulate the hunting tactics, fighting styles and abilities of serpents in order to bring themselves closer to them. Some members of the Hebi clan have gained a tremor sense or vibrational sight, being able to track prey in absolute darknesses from their vibrations and sounds their bodies give of providing they are within 100ft of the user.
The Hebi clan is secretive and nomadic, preferring to travel as mercenaries with branch families sometimes settling in villages. The location of Ryuichi cave is a heavily guarded secret by the clan elders and it is considered a sacred site for the Hebi clan. The Hebi Clan are reknowned poison masters and have a strong natural resitance to poisons.
The Hebi clan also create and coat their weapons in a special non-harmful venom extract that when mixed with blood gives of a distinct and trackable odour that Hebi clan ninja can track through a combination of smelling and tasting the air. Each persons blood reacts to create unique scents which can be differentiated by the Hebi clan. Creatures with exceptionally strong senses of smell such as dogs can also pick up on the scents though without training it would be harder to identify.
Personality: Tenrai is a ruthless individual that enjoys hunting down his targets methodically and the thrill of the hunt. He isn't particularly unkind or cruel in general and in fact has a cheerful disposition most of the time however is a viscious killer that has a high bloodlust in battle. He is very patient and holds the skills and secrets of his clan closely, including their devotion to serpents and snakes. His clan specialties made them naturally suited to the role of hunter-nin and scouts and Tenrai is no exception. Though he appears carefree he tends to take note of his surroundings at all times and has difficulty making lasting or strong bonds with people outside of his clan. His lack of strong bonds is more due to his role within ninja society than any dislike of people. He is on good terms with many people but retains the knowledge that he could one day recieve orders to remove them so avoids making lasting connections where possible.
He has a fairly sound strategic mind but often prefers to finish off his targets up close and personal, usually using a combination of bujutsu and wind release techniques to eviscerate his opponentes and ensure their death. When not on missions he is often either training or hanging around the village and watching strangers or visitors to Kirigakure for signs of danger or erratic behaviour. When outside of his village he tends to try and blend in with the local populace.
Brief history:
Tenrai was born in Kirigakure to one of the many branch families of the Hebi clan and showed strong signs of his clan bloodline from an early age. His unusually strong bloodline abilities were noted early on and he was sent away from the village to live with and be taught directly by the former clan head, Amaya of the Thousand Fangs, a renknowned poison master attributed to many unconfirmed assasinations. Hebi Amaya is more famous within the the world of Anbu or medical nin than many of the masters commonly discussed or recognised in the ninja villages and he tends to be respected and reviled in equal measure.
Tenrai learned to fully control his skills under Amaya's strict mentoring as well as the application and use of poison in combat. At the age of 10 he was returned to the village and enrolled into the ninja academy and demonstrated an apitude and skill set several years ahead of his class. Upon graduation he was tested rigourously and inducted into the ranks of the hunter-nin, at first working in teams before being allowed to work on solo scouting missions.
Tenrai's bingo book is filled with names of missing nin that he has assisted in capturing or killing. Tenrai has worked with several of the other villages in joint operations with other anbu teams tracking down groups of missing nin after the war. Though his records as a hunter-nin are extensive he holds no real fame outside of Anbu circles in other ninja villages. All missions as a hunter-nin are strictly classified and so for all intents and puposes he has very few completed missions recorded officially under his own name. Tenrai had no interest in promotion or ranks and often spent periods of time with his master Amaya. Though his experience and age are higher than average he still remains a genin and the village has decided it was time for him to join a team and officially progress through the ranks. Tenrai was wary to agree until his master Amaya commanded him to obey the order.
Appearance: Tenrai is fairly tall at 6"2 and has slightly tanned skin with medium length blonde hair and blue eyes. He is athletically muscular but appears slim at a glance considering his height.
He wears his forehead protector around his neck. He often wears a baggy red hoody-like jacket that is left open at the front displaying the large tattoo that covers his upper chest and arms. He wears baggy grey trousers with the customary striped grey camo leg warmers that are popular in Kirigakure. On his waist he wears a belt covered in pouches that holds his ninja tools and a series of small holsters on the back to hold his claws and special kunai.
His main weapon of choice are a pair of chakra enhanced triple bladed claws and he also favours the curved knife-like kunai favored by the hunter-nin of the hidden mist.

Summoning Contract:Tenrai was allowed to enter the Ryuichi caves to form a contract after passing the required trials and contracted with Akane, a playful yet intelligent giant snake with bright red scales and a single spiralling band of yellow/gold scales that runs from the top of her head to her tail. Akane lacks the raw physical strength common with her brothers and sisters but instead is skilled in fire release techniques. Akane is fond of teasing Tenrai and they have a strong friendship since the contract was formed shortly after Tenrai became a Genin. Like the other serpents of Ryuichi cave Akane is fond of eating humans and Tenrai has allowed her to eat enemies on occaion though thier contract prohibits her from eating humans without his permission when summoned. she has acted as storage for corpses and items when required though she is not particularly fond of doing so and it will often cost Tenrai a favour. Due to her transformation technique that allows her to travel with Tenrai in her smaller form or in a humanoid form the ability to store items can be very useful. theoretically she could transport living creatures for a short period of time but anyone other than Tenrai would risk being 'accidently digested'. Occasionally he has simply summoned her to deliver enemy corpses when required for proof though more often or not she will hide them in the Ryuichi caves for later consumption when returned. Akane would then plead ignorance as to where the bodies are. One of her faverite jokes is asking the officers to enter and search her body and check if they did not beleive her. Unsurprisnly none have taken her up on the offer.
Tenrai has trained with Akane for years and has learned many of his snake based techniques from her directly though they tend to be less impressive than her own versions. Due perhaps to their proximity in learning the techniques or perhaps because of the contract, every snake technique Tenrai uses has the snakes appear a deep red matching Akane's hue.

Ryuichi Clan Techniques:
Techniques:
- Ryuichi Clan Art: Shedding Scale Substitution: Akane can use the body replacement technique by rapidly shedding her skin leaving a life like body to take the brunt of attacks whilst she burrows beneath the ground/ water to safety or to attack the opponent unawares. the technique has a maximum of 2 uses per day wihtout risking injury to Akane.
- Ryuichi Clan Art: Shifting Scale Transformation: Akane is capable of several tranformations that allow her to alter her size to much become much smaller, allowing her to take the form of a large snake that can coil around Tenrai's body and peek out from underneath his hood. The strength of Akane's abilities are also reduced along with her size. Akane can also transform and take a humanoid form though her eyes and gold spiral markings do not dissapear even in human form.
- Combination Technique: Boiling Mist: Whilst in body contact Akane and Tenrai combine their fire and water chakra flow you creating a scalding hot version of the hiding in mist technique that clouds their enemies senses and can burn the skin. Prolonged exposure could potentially lead to severe injury but the technique is not inherently deadly. So long as Tenrai remains in physical contact with Akane the mist will not burn him.
- Combination technique: Scorching coils: Akane and Tenrai combine their fire and wind chakra flow allowing Akane to ignite her scales with hot flames that scorch the area around her. This technique can be used to surround an enemy in her flaming coils to trap them or to protect Tenrai if he is inside her coils.
