I'm thinking of making my OC a protégé of Han or Roshi. However, there isn't really much information on them. Do you guys have any headcanons for what they could teach their protégés?
Sure, I can try to throw out some headcanon for you.
Han
Kind of tough since there’s so little about his abilities outside his bijuu, but I’ll just throw some stuff at the board for you.
Taijutsu. The kind that focuses on heavy, hard-hitting attacks, I think.
Is an armor connoisseur. I headcanon that he collects armor and has unnatural knowledge of most armor. Can possibly spin this into him teaching a student about most common armor weaknesses, which ones are most effective for protection, etc.
Earth and water ninjutsu. Likely since he’s presumably from Iwa. He might know the basics of water ninjutsu, or he can be proficient in it. If you wanted, if could be his affinity - that’s how little there is of him, honestly.
Boil Release. Can teach some moves with Boil Release, which is honestly one of the most OP kekkei genkai, in my opinion.
Roshi
Actually, a personal favorite of mine due to design, skill set and bijuu sun wukong represent so I have a couple ideas on him.
He uses bōjutsu. Going with the whole Monkey King aesthetic, I like to imagine he’s good with the staff.
Weapons in general. He’s mentioned to possibly have proficiency with kunai, so you could expand that into him having skill in most weapons. You could pick and choose, if you like - I like to imagine him pelting enemies with kunai and bombs, personally.
Earth ninjutsu. He’s from Iwa, so it’s likely his chakra affinity is Earth. What type of techniques he teaches can be up to you.
Lava Release. Could be an opportunity for an OC with a kekkei genkai. Unlike Han, who borrowed Boil Release from his bijuu, it’s implied Roshi could use Lava Release naturally.
