Enma hails from the Hidden Cloud Village, growing up with his large family of 7 siblings and 15 cousins, all living together in one large family home that always seems too small for all of them to live in. Being the one of the two responsible older siblings, he and his older sister had taken on the role as the secondary parents of their younger siblings and cousins, looking out for them, teaching them, and helping in whatever way that they could. This led to the two of them spending a lot more time focused on the goals and passions of their younger siblings rather than their own, leaving the two to be the least... sociable of the Kuchiki family. One of the few things that Enma was able to come to enjoy because of all the time he spent around his younger siblings and cousins was board games, and lots of them. Before their grandparents had passed, he learned about Shogi and World War, two of his grandfather's favorite board games, and made it his mission to teach them to his younger siblings. They bonded over these games, laughing and enjoying countless games that Enma had always seemed to win.
It wasn't clear at first, but it seemed as though the young boy was a prodigy when it came to these board games. So, the adults tried to test that. Match after match after match, Enma would continuously win against his elders, and even when playing against those outside of the family, it seemed like every time that they played he had won. Over time, Enma had earned himself a nickname, the King of Games, as one of the several undefeated Shogi players within the Hidden Village. Throughout all this time he had been an academy student, taking much longer than most to graduate due to his dedication to taking care of his family. Couple that with his lack of skill when it came to basic ninjutsu, only ever showing some potential in the Dance of the Shikigami technique, it was plainly obvious to most why he had been stuck at that level. Now that his younger siblings are old enough to take care of themselves, he was given more time to train and dedicate to becoming a better ninja, finally succeeding at graduating from the academy and becoming a full fledged Cloud genin.
There was this one joke that you would hear about Cloud ninja, I don't remember the punchline but it had something to do with them being empty-headed. And if you're approaching Enma, it can certainly seem that way. The Cloud genin's eyes always seem a bit glazed over, like his mind is somewhere in the Clouds like the rest of his village, but what's really going on is a mystery. A mystery to most at least, as those who know him and know his nickname know of his talent for strategy and planning ahead. There isn't a moment that passes where Enma is admiring the environment, lovingly conjuring up a creative way he could use it to his advantage. He's the type of paranoid that makes him prepared for nearly every situation, the kind of person who crosses their t's and dots their i's at every opportunity he gets. With a family as big as the Kuchiki's, its hard to blame him. The quiet is where he resides, finally being able to enjoy a moment to himself that wasn't filled with the high pitched screams of his younger relatives as they run amok through the family home. His voice is quiet and low but firm, as if infinitely trying to fade from someone's point of view. Enma always tries to be an enigma, but as a Kuchiki does, he always leaves an impression.
Taijutsu [Rookie]
Enma's unarmed combat style takes inspiration from the many strategies employed through his time playing board games such as Shogi or World War, which is all well and good in theory, but in practice leaves a lot to be desired.
Shurikenjutsu [Rookie]
While Enma can think up a lot of creative ways to utilize shurikenjutsu, his current level only lets him hit stationary or slowly moving targets with high levels of accuracy. Anything more than that is a crapshoot as to what would happen.
Stealth [Rookie]
Like most ninja of his level, being sneaky was something that was beaten into the shinobi during his time at the academy, but all that ended up amounting to was the theory. In order for it to be useful, Enma's stealth techniques are going to require MUCH more work.
Dance of the Shikigami [Non-Elemental | Apprentice]
Unlike his struggle with the basic chakra natures, Enma appeared to have a knack for the paper manipulation technique, but at his level he has yet to truly grasp the true depth of its potential. He's capable of generating around 300 pages, which can be transformed and manipulated as he pleases, even if they are beyond arm's reach. Forming basic shapes or symbols is even possible, but these pages are mostly used to create explosive tags or cut through opponents.
Mokuton Potential [Dormant]
Like many of those with the ability to use advanced elements, Enma was born with two chakra natures, but has had a hard time getting a grip on how to use either of them to the point where he can even begin to utilize the potential that lies within him.
