Name: Guren


Nice name


Nicknames: Mad Bomber of Iwagakure


That name sounds really good and dangerous. It makes me wonder if he may know Deidara.


Age:
Part I: 22-23
Part II: 25-27
The Last: 29
Boruto: 42


Oh so he's older than the Naruto group, and by it a lot it seems. Really cool.


Gender: Male


Cool


Family: Arisu (mother, deceased) Nobuo (father, deceased)


Oh so he's on his own.


Appearance: Guren is a tall and thin man, with amber eyes, slightly pale skin, and long black hair. His hair is tied back in a ponytail and fastened with two small red beads, one by the base and one at the end of the ponytail. A strand of hair hangs over the left side of his face. Guren wears the standard Iwagakure flak jacket with the larger front pouch switched out for a smaller, slightly taller one. He wears a black clothed forehead protector, a dark grey, almost black, outfit underneath the flak jacket with the right sleeve missing, and a black lapel over his left leg. Guren has opted to wear metal shin-guards over his standard shinobi sandals. Bandages hiding retractable blades are present from his wrist to the elbow on both arms. His reasoning for choosing to switch out the red colour of the standard Iwa-shinobi uniform, is nothing other than practicality, as he sees it as being easier to hide the traces of his work in the Explosion Corps with a darker colour. Over the years his appearance doesn’t change much aside from general signs of age.


This is amazing, he has the charms of Iwagakure in his appearance and has things in his appearance that aid him in being a bomber and hide his trace. This is what I call a true ninja. Your descriptive skills are also amazing, I can picture his outfit perfectly from this description.


Personality: Guren is a calculating and methodical man who is driven by the mindset of “survival of the fittest”. Despite genuinely respecting people, his mindset has over the years led him to care little for the human lives affected or lost as a consequence of conflicts that arise around him. He holds himself accountable to this mindset as well, gladly putting his own existence on the line, as he sees his own death simply meaning that he was not fit to survive. As he is aware that many wouldn’t understand his way of thinking he tends to hide it behind a polite and charming façade.
Guren enjoys his work, having earned himself the nickname “Mad Bomber of Iwagakure” due to this enjoyment combined with his personality and actions. He sees the explosions he creates as beautiful and measures them in scale, destructive capability, and sound, the sound being the most important criteria of the three. This has given him a keen ear for explosives, but has also caused him to suffer from chronic tinnitus due to his near constant close proximity to extremely loud sounds. Despite his mindset he is not incapable of forming relationships with other people. He considers his two bodyguards, Arashi and Sōta, to be the closest he can get to friends, and he came to see Gari as a sort of father figure during his tutelage to the now deceased Captain of the Explosion Corps. Though he will not allow his relationship to interfere with a mission or something he sees as his responsibility. Despite having regarded Deidara as something akin to a younger brother during their shared time in the Explosion Corps and still referring to him as such, this does not stop him from seeing the missing-nin’s apprehension or death as his responsibility as the current Captain of the Explosion Corps.


He actually sounds like a ninja. He sounds like he has been through a lot for the experience and sees when people can be a threat. He has a good general mindset that will keep him alive in the ninja world. It's so descriptive that I can see his whole personality and it matches his looks perfectly. Incredible job.


Battle: Guren possesses the Explosion Release kekkei genkai, with it he primarily specialises in ranged combat, causing explosions from a distance. After years of experience and training, he is capable of wiping out an entire small village with an explosion, although depending on the scale and destructive power of the explosion will exhaust him for a significant amount of time.


Great drawback and thanks for also showing what his power can do by giving an example such as being able to destroy a small village, it gives me a good scale to see how powerful he is.


Specialising in ranged combat has caused him to primarily focusing on it, only using his less reliable close quarter combat capabilities if absolutely necessary. This imbalance in combat style reliability is the primary reason for the presence of his two bodyguards. When forced to engage in close quarter combat he prefers combining fighting with the retractable blades attached to his arms with taijutsu. Having picked up some of his former teacher’s fighting style Guren will in close quarter combat use Explosion Release in conjunction with taijutsu, causing whatever he hits with a punch to explode from the inside. However, as he is somewhat unfamiliar with this type of combat due to his ranged status as a fighter, it is usually only used if absolutely necessary. If necessary, despite the risk to himself and those around him, he is willing to create a minor explosion around himself much in the same way he creates the larger ones from a distance. For defensive measures he often relies on both Explosion Release and Earth release abilities, primarily the latter of the two.


You explained everything to the tea. You even went into detail on why he has the bodyguards which was something I was wondering about but now I see that it makes sense. You also go into detail on how he could defend himself and where he got his fighting style from. Great job.


Rank: Jōnin.
By the time of part II, he has been promoted to Captain of the Explosion Cops.


Really cool even as an adult he was still advancing. Amazing.


Past: Guren was born in Iwagakure to shinobi parents, inheriting Explosion Release from his mother. When he was still a young child, he accidentally killed both his parents in an explosion, caused by his still incomplete control over his kekkei genkai. After this incident he was placed within an orphanage in Iwagakure and left with an innate fear of his abilities, a fear he would still possess several years later. In order to escape the poverty of the orphanage Guren became a Genin at the age of 7 years, by the age of 10 he was promoted to Chūnin and, despite his still present fear of his abilities, was soon after enlisted in the Explosion Corps and put under the tutelage of its leader Gari, remaining his student until the latter’s death. Over the years Guren’s fear of his kekkei genkai began diminishing and the personality he would carry with him in adulthood began to form as well as his mindset. However, it wasn’t until he had to kill a man up close with it in order to protect himself that he accepted it as a part of him and became completely comfortable with it, and began to develop his signature style of using it. By the age of 15 he was promoted to Jōnin and in the coming years he would often be utilised when pure destruction was the desired result, thus earning the moniker “Ace of the Explosion Corps” among the other villages. Over the course of his years of service, his current worldview and mindset evolved as a direct consequence of his actions and the events taking place around him.


This is amazing, this is one of the best OC pasts that I have ever read personally. I haven't seen any OC that i can remember that accidentally killed their own parents. The way he grew up and didn't go crazy like a main character wanting to be something big or a OC having crazy big dreams that a side character can't accomplish just makes him more realistic. His fears and his worry is warranted and makes him relatable. I sympathize with this character. Incredible work.


(There is a scrapped part in that last message so I'll just resend that without that part)


I think I got rid of it. I did read the last messages and yeah even with the part it makes perfect sense.

Final Analysis- This OC is amazing honestly this is one of the best OCs I have reviewed. The way you made him and described him makes him seem like he can be a actual character in Naruto and not even the main character but a character like Shikamaru. A character that while not the main character is amazing in his own way. There is nothing I can say about this character, he is just amazing. Every question that i was gonna ask was answered as i read on. You even made his relationship with a canon character be normal and didn't make him crazy for Deidara or still want Deidara back after he left. He reacted like a ninja who sees a threat. You really did an amazing job on him, I tip my hat to you. Thank you so much for letting me review your OC, it was an honor.
