He is happy with his life, but it is a major mystery for him and given the chaotic times the possibilities made it all the more interesting. He was a somewhat odd child, which would later be explained when his sensory abilities came to light. His time at the academy was pretty average except for the beginning of his fascination with seals. Upon graduating Katashi found that a whole new world of resources were available, of those the most important ones would be elemental affinity testing and training and access to Fuinjutsu information.<br/><br/>His Doton affinity was unexpected as he had assumed he'd have a fire affinity like most from Hi no Kuni did. He quickly found it invaluable when experimenting with seals which had a nasty tendency to explode and having a heavy slab of chakra reinforced rock between the explosion and him undoubtedly saved him several fingers at least. As his skill with Doton techniques increased and his defensive abilities became more potent Katashi incorporated the explosions that so often followed him into his combat style, which led to a rather disconcerting fondness for... 'liberal' use of exploding tags<br/><br/>Personality: While generally a good guy who hates formality, growing up in Konoha with all the vaunted bloodlines has left Katashi feeling somewhat cheated and deeply interested in both Kinjutsu and Jinton. Katashi is also keenly interested in the Biju and the tremendous amount of chakra they wield. His desire for power, both personal and political can lead to unsavory behavior and ethically questionable actions, though Katashi would never admit it and is leery of even being called ambitious.<br/><br/>Strengths and Flaws: A good grasp of Doton techniques, though almost all are defensive in nature, combined with skill in Fuinjutsu and Sensory abilities make Katashi a valuable asset. Despite being good with Doton techniques the sum total of his offensive jutsu consists of Doton: Doryūha and the derived Retsudo Tenshin, with all his other techniques classified as defensive or supplementary. His skill with using genjutsu is nonexistent and his ability to defend against them is only decent. His taijutsu skill is poor at best, fighting much more like a brawler and should he get into a close range fight Katashi relies on his defensive Doton techniques along with liberal use of exploding tags to win, or at least put some distance between him and the attacker. Should a taijutsu strike connect though it can do a large amount of damage if he has his rock armor or a similar technique in use.
