Biography

Family History: Almost nothing is known of Deidara's family, and so one might assume that they are all dead. His love for art, however, could also branch from his family. His clay making ability appears to be a Kekkei Genkai, and it seems unlikely that Deidara would ever go out of his way to kill a fellow lover of the art. It is possible that his clan was one that was not accepted by other people (as many clans with Kekkei Genkai abilities are not) or that they were wiped out during the combat, as the Hidden Rock Village was once a very active war-making village. Any of these could explain Deidara's detachment from the idea of 'family', and his avoidance of his home Village, in spite of his very active position in the Akatsuki makes it obvious that something did indeed occur with his clan.

Character History: Though the exact time frame is unknown, it is apparent that Deidara has been with the Akatsuki for quite a while. He is one of the most active members, and does a lot of traveling (probably due to his excellent skill in long distance assassination). He has also apparently switched partners in the Akatsuki before, as he is now paired with Sasori of the Sand, the old partner of Orochimaru, who left the organization some time ago. Though he is constantly on missions for the Akatsuki, it often seems that Deidara has his own ideas in mind as he works. He seems to care more for expressing his art than achieving the organization's goals.

Personality: A bit talkative, though not to an extreme degree, Deidara seems to have trouble getting along with others. His partners in crime always seem to irritate him, or are irritated by him. This mostly stems from his intense love of art, and the inability of others to understand his "artistic style". He is, however, often a source of comic relief, due to his almost child-like manner. He playfully attacks those who bother him, and is joking (though respectful) with any lover of art that he meets. He is forever in pursuit of new ''artistic'' achievements, and hopes to convince many (or at least someone) that his form of art is indeed the best. He often spends time arguing with his partner Sasori over the meaning of art, and its true form. Though it appears that the two do not get along, they actually seem to have an odd sort of respect for each other (though Sasori shows it less). Deidara appears to be perhaps the only person in the Akatsuki who doesn't fully dislike Sasori. Also, one of his most noticed aspects is his habit of saying "un" at the end of most of his sentences ("Un" being equivalent to "Yeah" or "Hmm"). It often adds humor to even his most serious comments. In spite of being art crazed and picky about people, he is considered one of the most likable members of the Akatsuki.


[x]His Ability[x]
Combat Information

Weapon: Living mouths on the palms of his hands. (Explained in detail under Kekkei Genkai)

Other Item: A small scope-like tool that latches on over his left eye. Allows him to see great distances, making surprise and long distance attacks much easier.

Kekkei Genkai: Living mouths on the palms of his hands allow Deidara to store, mold, and move clay. By bringing it into his body, he can infuse the clay with chakra, then 'spit' the clay back out in whatever shape he forms it into. The object (typically formed into an animal) moves based on how Deidara commands it, and can be detonated by him saying "Katsu" or by focusing his chakra (typically through the Ram handseal). The amount of clay required is apparently more important than the amount of Chakra, based on the way Deidara addresses it. Given a large supply of clay, or a way to recycle what he has can give Deidara the ability to last in combat for insane amounts of time.

Jutsu List Kawarimi no Jutsu (Body Replacement Technique) - Very basic ability that allows a ninja to quickly replace their own body with a nearby object to avoid taking damage from an attack. (Ninjutsu Type)

Henge no Jutsu (Transformation Technique) - Basic ability that allows the user to take on the form of another person or object for a period of time. (Genjutsu Type)

Doton: Dochu Eigyo no Jutsu (Earth Release: Underground Projection Fish Technique) - The user is able to dig underground using chakra, and to remain there until ready to attack. Useful for preparing an attack or an escape, but accomplishes nothing else on its own. (Ninjutsu Type)

Doton: Shinju Zanshu no Jutsu (Earth Release: Inner Decapatation Technique)- Digging themselves under ground and propelling themselves with chakra, the user can erupt from the ground beneath the target, grabbing them and dragging them below. Not high ranking, but still effective for surprise attacks. (Ninjutsu Type)

Kibaku Nendo (Exploding Clay) - Living mouths on the palms of his hands allow Deidara to store, mold, and move clay. By bringing it into his body, he can infuse the clay with chakra, then 'spit' the clay back out in whatever shape he forms it into. The object (typically formed into an animal) moves based on how Deidara commands it, and can be detonated by him saying "Katsu" or by focusing his chakra (typically through the Ram handseal). (Kekkei Genkai/Ninjutsu Type)

Nendo Bunshin (Clay Clone) - Using his clay, a clone of himself can be formed. Typically only used to avert attention while he escapes. (Kekkei Genkai/Ninjutsu Type)

Jibaku Bunshin (Suicide Bombing Clone) - Having a Nendo Bunshin consume a massive amount of clay can cause it to become a monstrous bomb, capable of leveling a large area. Requires much clay, and a good chunk of chakra, and thus is also only used when escape is a necessity. Deals great damage while also serving as a huge distraction. (Kekkei Genkai/Ninjutsu Type)

Retsudotensho no Jutsu (Split Earth Turn Around Palm Technique)- By focusing chakra, the user is able to attract and manipulate nearby rocks, usually by hurling them at the opponent. Basic technique known by most all Rock ninja, but still dangerous when used properly. (Ninjutsu Type)

Fuin Jutsu: Genryu Kyu Fujin (Sealing Technique: Illusionary Dragon Nine Consuming Seals) - A technique that requires all members of the Akatsuki to be present and requires such a large amount of chakra that it typically takes several days for the task to be complete. It is used to draw a tailed beast out of a host (or simply the spirit out of a tailed beast itself) and then to seal it within a large statue summoned by the Akatsuki leader. Most of the work is done by the leader, and the other members are simply required to input their chakra to aid the seal.

[OOC: These are only some of his Jutsu's, Assuming that he is a Rock-nin he is able to use most of any other Rock jutsu's]
