History: [Urahara Irata or the boy born of the earth. Now begins the story of Irata, created from what he gathers is the Aiúa or soul energy of another man. Being that he has no living blood relatives to call his own, also having exceptional combat familiarity, and earthen affinity. Irata was fashioned, originally as the wish of a dying soldier who only desired a child, fashioned in his image when he was 15. As this soldiers life ended, a new one began sprung fresh from the earth in a cocoon like catalyst in the path of a lonely 56 year old Hermit; who wished he settled down and bore a child. As the cocoon cracked open, and the adolescent tumbled from his terracotta coffin he felt into the Hermits arms that at first was only trying to prevent the boy from landing on him. And as the boy stirred he called the Hermit by the name he thought of first, Uncle, and the hermit was glad to bear the name. Soon guiding the boy back to where he lived in the mountains far outside of the nearest town, then fed and clothed him.

The two soon became inseparable, and became quite the pair picking up on the hermit’s quarks and habits; the boy quickly realized that the hermit’s life was at an end. And within the coming months it seemed as if the two had been actual family. In the late months to come, the boy became skilled in his affinity that might have been connected with his birth. And that trait became somewhat exercised used to hunt animals by softening earth, or flicking rocks at them to stun them. Confident in the relationship between himself and the boy, who was named Irata Urahara, the hermit told the boy of how the hermit found him. Which lead to outright accusations of disbelief, and a smug attitude that lead to harsh words and jokes, until the hermit took the boy to where the hermit found him. Then it what Irata remembered flashed back in his mind, the darkness, the cold rock that housed him as he was “born” and the first feeling of a spring breeze against his arms and exposed chest. Months of substituting the Hermit into his life as his caretaker soon came crashing down around him. Soon Irata left the Hermits company, and only one phrase was exchanged between them

“Irata, you who came from the earth are destined for greatness.”

And with that the boy born of the earth left, to start his own chapter in life, which brought him to the land of Fallien, there he shall begin his story, and live out his life as nothing more than a Nomadic Warrior.]

Skills:

Elemental Affinity: [Earth: Because of his affinity he is typically barefoot, to increase his connection with the earth. In Irata’s case considering his limited practice with his element, he is not yet capable of advanced techniques, but he is able to soften the earth for walking and landing, also able to send small earth composites towards opponents. Being the majority of his effectiveness lies within stealth, and fluid movements he is often restricted to hiding in the shadows.]

Physical Combat: [Working as the opposite to his Affinity, Irata’s unarmed combat ability holds fierceness to it. While at the same time holding the same fluidity of his elemental manipulation, often resorting to open palmed strikes, low kicks, and full arm extensions. While keeping joints, and limbs loose for quick movement alterations or to deflect weapons or projectiles. Often resorting to acrobatic feats to evade his opponents, and shunpo flash steps to approach at radical speeds.]

Equipment:

+ Standard Clothing: [a white undershirt, a black kimono, hakama, white obi sash, and a white haori over the usual kimono.]

+Reconnaissance Clothing: [It has no visible white undergarments and the sash is dark as opposed to white. A headpiece covers the bottom part of the face, but not the eyes; no sandals, but only socks, and tight bands are on the legs and arms to keep the clothes from moving too much, which both are presumably for silence of movement.]

+Satchel(s): [Three small bags usually fastened around his waist just above the obi. Usually the contents containing various supplies such as rocks that are used within combat, healing herbs, and bandages.]
