Gaara of the Desert

[Riku]

Character name: Gaara

Character source: Naruto

Character history:

Gaara was born as the third child and second son of the Fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure. Desiring a weapon to gain more power for the village, his father sealed the One-Tailed Bijuu "Shukaku" into his unborn son. With Gaara coming into the world he tragically took his mother's life in the process. With her dying breathe she gave him his name and thus began the lonely life of the Shukaku vessel... Growing up he was feared by the village he called home, unable to play with the children and scorned by the adults, even his siblings rejected him out of fear.

His only comfort was his mother's twin brother Yashamaru who taught him the meaning of love. However, fearing that his son would become a liability he ordered Yashamaru to assassinate Gaara which failed spectacularly due to his mother's will controlling the sand and protecting him. Yashamaru with his dying breath lied to Gaara before committing suicide via explosion tags- his last act in the world fueled by malicious intent broke the young boy's sanity.

From that day forward he made it his purpose in life to "love and exist only for himself". He became a bloodthirsty and unstable monster- killing others in order to "prove his existence". Several assassin attempts failed which only strengthened his hate for the world and the people in it. It would be when he and his siblings entered the Chunin Exams that his view on life changed for the better. After the defeat at the hands of Uzumaki Naruto and the invasion failing Gaara started to rethink about his choices, deciding to take Naruto's words to heart and learn to protect those precious to him. Eventually his efforts would prove fruitful as he would rise to the rank of Kazekage succeeding his father as the Fifth Kazekage of Suna.

Like Naruto he had gained his village's respect and love with the help of his siblings. After the timeskip Gaara fended off an attack from Deidara a crazy Missing Ninja who made bombs out of clay. He managed to protect his home but was defeated and had the Shukaku extracted out of him. Chiyo sacrificed her life to revive the deceased Kage (with a bit of help from Naruto's own Chakra) and Gaara returned to the land of the living. He would then help in the fourth shinobi war helping unite the villages in order to fight Madara and Obito. Before Madara could attack however, there was a bright flash of light that engulfed the battlefield before disappearing. Before anyone could understand what happened, Gaara was gone. He then became aware of a figure as it spoke to him before dropping him into the Omniverse....

TEC: 2

Starting Proficiencies:

Ranged Proficiency – 1000 OM
Allows you to purchase moves which can attack from range. For example guns, bows and long-range beam attacks.

Remote Control Proficiency – 600 OM (requires Ranged Proficiency)
Allows you to create moves which can be manually controlled further than five feet from yourself, such as a shifting wall of sand or flying disks of energy that obey your commands. While Ranged Materialize Proficiency is not essential for such moves, they go great together.

Area Attack Proficiency – 600 OM
Allows you to create offensive moves with a wide area of effect, such an explosive that damages multiple enemies, or a beam wider than three feet in diameter. While the strength of wider attacks are diluted, or require more energy, they are very useful for dealing indiscriminate damage to a wider area and catching swift opponents.

Area Shield Proficiency – 400 OM
Allows you to create defensive moves wider than three feet in diameter, such as a shield that covers your entire person, an entire group of people, or wider still. Of course, the wider the effect, the more diluted the power, but such moves are nonetheless extremely handy.

Starting Moves:

Sand Shield – 300 OM
A simple technique which let's Gaara manipulate his sand to protect a single side of his body from harm. The sand quickly loosens itself from the gourd on Gaara's back, and it will naturally and actively protect the side of Gaara's body that is being attacked. The sand responds to shield him instantaneously. The shield is as big as it needs to be, but for this particular version, it will cover only the part of Gaara's body which is being targeted. If it's Gaara's entire body, it will form a dome or egg shape around him, but only if that's needed. The size always varies, as the technique responds in turn with the enemy's attack. The sand is sentient, it seems, seeming to move on it's own accord, though it is manipulated by Gaara's mind, bound to him by the infusion of the sand with his chakra and his mother's blood, instilling it with her love. The Shield of Sand serves no other purpose other than protection from incoming attacks.

Sand Bullet – 300 OM
A basic technique where Gaara uses his sand to shoot three medium sized "bullets" of sand at his target. The sand bullets are dense and collected to be compacted like actual bullets, though they're made of sand. He can fire a total of ten sand bullets per eight seconds. ( though he needs to cool down in between then before using this technique again).
