[O-Ushi]

[COLOR=DimGray][CENTER][I][SIZE=1]The smells of nature dance gently on your senses as you make your way through the epaceful Country of Light. The sun beams down gently through the canopy, gently caressing you with fingers of warmth as dappled shafts of light play across your face. The earth is spongy and rich beneth your feet, yielding a little with each step. It seems the very earth itself wishes you a pleasant journey, and the sound grows louder in your ears. A sound of serene power, ageless rejuvination, gentle fury.
Suddenly, the forest breaks off, and you find yourself on the top of a hill, looking over a peaceful village. Shops, bars and resteraunts mix in with the crowd of houses, surrouded by a great wall, at least two dozen foot hight. it is nestled againt a cliff, And the sound is given form. A huge waterfall, powering as it has down for centuries, millenia, aeons. You can faintly hear the sound of children playing in the strees, and the sound of adults shouting.
You make your way into the vilage, looking around with a vague sense of awe. Men and women work hard here, fixing houses, shouting out what goods they have for sale, sounds of perfect synchonicity.
"Good morning." a voice speaks from behind you, and you turn with a start. Where had this person come from?
The figure is tall and lanky, with jet black hair and an easy smile. He wears a vest lined with pockets for various tools and items. Across his forehead he wears a small metal plate on a strip of cloth, depicting an image, three vertical lines above a thicke horizontal one.
"What is this place?" you ask the stranger
"This is Mizuha. Hidden Village of the Waterfall"[/SIZE][/I][/CENTER][/COLOR]


This is the story of a group of cadets in the Mizuha Shinobi Academy. Through this tale you will learn of their lives and adventures, their joy and heartbreak, their triumphs and tradgedies. Will you take the first step into Mizuha? Will you join the ranks of the Ninja?

Alright, this is an RP based (very) loosely on the anime series Naruto. However, rather than put you off with another "Oh, another anime RP," I want you to know one thing (now this is important, you listen up):


[SIZE=3][CENTER]You don't have to know Naruto to join this RP![/CENTER][/SIZE]

The point of this RP is to create an idea of acual, growing people. You will learn the waysof the Ninja within the story itself, under the guidance of your various teachers (the very important and baic stuff willbe explained at the very beginning of the RP). at the start it willbe the basic character development, showing what your character's personality is like, letting you get a feel for the character and so on. Then the rest will be explained as we go along.

Alright, this is a sign up for the people who want to be Academy Students, this is the thing you want to join as if you're either
a) Not to confident at RPing
b) Know nothing of Naruto, or
c) Just want to do it, I guess

And here's the Sign-up

[B]Name:[/B] Japanese, please (oh, and put last name before forename. Like Uzimaka (last name), Naruto (forename)
[B]Age: [/B] 12-15
[B]Gender: [/B] (Yes, there are girl ninja.
[B]Appearance[/B]: Picture or description are equally good
[B]Personality[/B]: Let's get a wide range, please. We can't all be the "loner, cool bad***" now, can we? Are you lazy? Arrogant? Depressed? Also put any strange nuances you have here (like, you're character only speaks in a strange slang or has a bizarre phobia of noodles).
[B]Grades[/B]: Ok, this bit is a little strange. Basically, Ninja skills fall into 3 categories; [I]Taijutsu[/I] (Hand-to-Hand Combat), [I]Genjutsu [/I] (Illusionary Techniques), [I]Ninjutsu [/I] (Ninja Techniques, which are quite like spells). I want to know what ypu're good at, whatyou suck at etc. Please don't put down that you're "perfect at everything" (you might be in real life, but it doesn't really matter here). The different skills will be explained to you in the RP.
[B]Introductions Are In Order[/B]: This bit is a replacement for the classic "Bio/History." What I want you to do is give either a typical RP post (on any subject that involves your character) or another RP of yours. This is so I can get a feel for your level of RPing, and also another purpose that I will not tell you as of yet (Oooooo....foreshadow-y).


Here's my Academy Character that I may or may not use (depending on how many people sign up. I'll have probably 2 or 3 minor roles within the RP to keep things running.)

[B]Name[/B]: Toshiro Koji
[B]Age[/B]: 13
[B]Gender[/B]: Male
[B]Appearance[/B]: Tall and thin, Koji has a ever-present pall of sickness about him. His hair is jet black and stringy, roughly cut short (for conveniance rather than style). His face is hollow and normal drawn in what is a mixture of both pain and tiredness, and his head normally hangs low, with his shoulders hunched. He nromally wears a simple outfit, a black T-shirt and black three-quarter trousers, with standard tabi boots (small boots with the toes cut off for freedom of movement). His eyes are soft and brown, with dark rings under each of them, as if he hasn't slept in weeks.
[B]Personality[/B]: Koji is a depressed, quiet person, not known for outbursts of emotion (or much emotion, in fact). He's normally sitting quietly in the back of the classroom, taking whatever notes are needed. He's prone to bouts of pessimism, and thoroughly dislikes combat (which makes many of the kids qustion why he is even int he academy). He frequently breaks out in coughing fits that wrack his whole body, but he doens;t like anyone makign a fuss over him. He is very nervous around large groups of people, and small groups of the opposite sex.
[B]Grades[/B]:
[I]Taijutsu[/I]: This is Koji's weakest area, being a sickly little person. He has litle stamina, and is always the first out in any of the pseudo-tournaments the class holds. He is normally excluded from any game of "ninja" outside the school, as the kids say that any team he is on always loses, as he's too slow.
[I]Genjutsu[/I]: Koji is mediocre in all respects in Genjutsu, only able to make basic illusions in times of stress.
[I]Ninjutsu[/I]: This is probably what Koji is best at (although he's not near the best in the class). He normally forgets most of his techniques in combat, but he has great skill in techniques for hiding his location ad evasionary jutsu's. His teacher says that trying to catch Koji is like trying to catch smoke with your hands.
[I]Teacher's Comment[/I]: I think Koji has a lot of work to do, but I think he could probably make Chuunin. Overall, though, nothing to write home about.
[B]Introductions Are In Order[/B]:
A Ladybird flitted slowly through the air, carrying on it's lazy path through the streets of Mizuha. It bumbled side to side, in search of whatever ladybird's searched for everyday. Turning sharply to its right, it lands on the head of a young boy, who was sitting dejectedly against the back wall of the Academy. Faintly, children could be heard playing. The both jumps slightly, his nervous disposistion becoing painfully apprant, and reaches up, taking the lady bird gently ont the tips of his finger. He brings his finger down and looks at it, his ehad cocking to the side slightly, like a bird inspecting its next meal.

Koji cough, bringing his left hand to his mouth, as his body was wracked by spasms. As the coughs subsided, he saw the ladybird was still ver, avidly inspecting his finger.

"Why won't you fly away?" Koji whispered, watching the tiny creature crawl along his fingertip.

He slowly stood up and brought his hand high above his head, finger pointing upwards. The lady bird seemed to consider the prospect for a moment, before its carapace split along its back and two wings worked furiously, brearing it into the air. Koji watched as it bumbled away, swaying from side to side, until it wdisapeared into some foliage, obviously intent on finding something.

Ladybirds like a high platform to fly from.

A smile tugged at the sides of Koji's mouth, briefly, before it went back to its normal, drawn expression.HE sat down back against the wall, knees hugged to his chest. He sighed and watched the sky briefly. At elast he had helped something along its way...


Alright, that's it for now, if you have any questions, post in the Underground Forum Project: Konoha. Feel free to join, and thanks for reading this far, at least.

[Ezekiel]

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][SIZE=1][B]Like I said in the Underground thread, I love this idea.[/B]

[B]Name:[/B] Sagatoru Aki

[B]Age:[/B] 15

[B]Gender:[/B] Male

[B]Appearance:[/B] [URL=http://www.dreamworldstudio.net/artwork/gall_lineart/loganseyes_carys_bw.jpg]Aki- on the far right[/URL] [props to original artist]
Aki has bright, happy green eyes and dark black hair, when light shines on it it seems to have a blue tint to it.
He stands at 5'7'' and has a slight but strong build, he seems to be built for speed rather than brute strength.

[B]Personality:[/B] Aki is a really happy person, quite in contrast to Koji and has been known to have unexpected happy outbursts and hyper moods that can last for days. he has a low tolerance to sugar of any kind and after only a small amount, he'll be bouncing off the walls. His friends think this is quite useful before a fight since he because practically impossible to hit physically (although he can't aim at all when he's like this either).

When he's off his high, Aki will just be a good-hearted, kind person who's great to get along with. He enjoys other people's company and is a good friend and ally. He will always stay loyal to those he trusts and he has never betrayed anyone before.

Aki does, unfortunately, have a great fear of old women and cats since his grandmother was very cruel to him when he was little.

[B]Grades:[/B]
[I]Taijutsu[/I]- Aki is a very good martial artists, with a good strong build, arms and legs, he can strike very fast punches and kicks. Even though they may not be powerful one at a time, with Aki's speed, they really count and he never misses a target.

[I]Genjutsu[/I]- This is definitely Aki's worst Grade. He has almost no concentration and you have to be able to focus when using these, he gets distracted too easily and his illusions always fail, usually resulting in an injury and embarrassment.

[I]Ninjutsu[/I]-Aki is alright with spells, certain ones he can cast expertly while other are complete failures, sometimes it depends on his mood and strength and other times it depends on the spells difficulty.

[B]Introductions Are In Order:[/B] Small waves lapped against the shore of a crystalline lake. A young boy, 15 years old looked out across the serene blue, smiling happily at the way his life was running.
All was good.
He had his friends, his family and training to look forward to, what could possibly go wrong?
Yeah, there were plenty of reasons for people to smile these days, they just had to look for them.

Aki stretched, his silky top lifting slightly bearing a strong and pale stomach, riddles with scratches and small scars from the years of rough play with his friends.
The boy lay down in the grass, laughing to himself as it tickled his neck and ears. He loved Summer.

Summer was a happy time with butterflies and birds singing happily in the green trees. Slight winds making a melody with the crisp plants and flowers, enchanting young children to play in the open fields, blissfully unaware of the dangers of the wide world.

Glancing to his side, Aki noticed two young children, just toddlers. They were practicing their Ninja skills, kicking up dust while claiming it to be an illusion, laughing and getting their clothes dirty as they had play fights in the grass.

Aki grinned broadly, the expression spreading to his green eyes, making them sparkle. He remembered the days when he would dream of becoming a Ninja...now his dream was coming true.

"Oh yes, life is good...very good."

[B]I hope that was all okay, PM me if I need to change anything.[/B][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[Skye]

[size=1][font=veranda][color=indigo][b]Name:[/b] Nanasawa Makoto (Mako-chan)

[b]Age:[/b] 14

[b]Gender:[/b] Female

[b]Appearance:[/b][url=http://www.psycko-manga.de/gallery/babe/9-7.htm]Mako-chan[/url]

[b]Personality:[/b] Makoto is usually the silent strong type, but is always there. She lurks in the shadows, and is very intimidating. Inside she just wants a close friend, but recent experience has taught her to close her heart to touch. Whenever someone sees her spark, she snaps her walls shut, but the hurt and longing show in her eyes. One, and only one, person has ever seen her soft side. Mako can be ruthless and cold, but she hates it.

[b]Grades:[/b] [I]Taijutsu[/I]- This is Makoto?s strong point, and her agility helps. Once she begins to fight, she is Hell on feet. Her aim is good, and the power she puts behind kicks and punches is enough to make a grown man fall over.

[I]Genjutsu[/I]- Not her weakest point, Makoto does relatively well. Its not the best, but it can be frightening to watch. She is a little slow to react, but she does well enough to be able to escape if not fight it out.

[I]Ninjutsu[/I]- Her weakest point, Makoto often forgets what she?s been taught and reverts to regular fighting. She doesn?t see the point; its extra work, and why do that when your hands work just fine?

[b]Introductions Are In Order:[/b] Sitting on a small slope under the leaf-heavy tree, Makoto watched with mild interest as her younger brother, Miho, punched and whirled with the same grace his sister possessed. With a sigh, the girl hugged her knees to her chest, bright brown and gold eyes focused on something not in that world.

Miho finished, and grinned at his sister, who smiled in a absentminded way before standing. She seemed to fold, and said, ?Miho-chan, I?m going in.? Miho frowned, and Makoto turned, making her way back to the Academy.

As she walked along the soft grass, barefooted, she heard laughing, and Miho tumbled down the hill after her. Makoto sighed, and turned to wait for him. Once the boy caught up, her dusted himself off, and grinned. ?C?mon, Mako-chan, cheer up!? Makoto put on a smile, but her eyes were still distant.

?Sorry, Miho-chan. Just thinking.?

Her brother frowned. ?About Toyha-san? Again?? Makoto sighed, and just shook her head. ?Forget it.?

Weee![/size][/font][/color]

OOC: please pm me if there is anything wrong. you can also get in touch with me through AIM, if i'm on, at attimus331

Name: Nakashima, Kazuma

Age: 15

Gender: Male

Appearance: Kazuma somewhat personifies the ?punk? character, although his personality doesn?t really match it. He usually wears (outside of class) an old black band hat under his long messy brown hair. He has his left ear pierced in three different places (one up top and two near the bottom), he wears a black bracelet with metal spikes on his right wrist, and a blue digital watch on his other. He keeps most of his face hidden with his long hair; he has blue eyes and a small scar on his upper left forehead. His scrawny arms are no good for hand to hand combat but are very fast. He wears a jacket with many pouches on them (like the ones in Naruto). And he wears baggy, loose-fit jeans.

Personality: He doesn?t often talk during class, and seems like a loner, but his friends know this to be far from the truth. With his friends he?s the center of attention, always talking and joking around. Kazuma is a funny person; he owes that mostly to his intelligence. He is somewhat of an intellectual in his thoughts; you can tell whenever he?s thinking because he randomly stares off into a corner for long periods of time. He?s not shy around other people at all; he simply dislikes most people, as he sees most people as being complete and utter fools. He can be very mean often times without realizing it.

Grades: Taijutsu ? As you?ve probably already guessed, Kazuma isn?t very talented in the hand to hand category. His weak arms keep him from being very powerful, luckily his decent speed allows him to maintain fighting against an opponent of moderate skill. Genjutsu ? This is where Kazuma shines. He?s awesome at the art of illusion, no one can beat him in this category. His quick thinking and sharp mind allow him to conjure even the most complex illusions in the midst of combat. Ninjutsu ? He?s only a little better at ninjutsu than he is at taijutsu, which really isn?t saying much. He hopes to become more inclined with this skill than he does with taijutsu, as he admires the art greatly (his father was a true master at it).

Introductions are in order: okay, I?m not sure what this means, but I think that you said that I could just leave a post from one of my other rpgs, so that?s what I?m doing: Marshal sat alone in his small room alongside his bed. His back was facing the door of the ugly room; his bony legs laid open on the cold floor. In-between his legs was his old, gray backpack laying unzipped, Marshal was going through all of his belongings, as he often does to make sure nobody has taken anything while he wasn?t looking, or while he was sleeping. Marshal found the inn only a couple of months ago, and still didn?t trust any of the other kids.

Marshal?s small hands started to go through his backpack for the second time when the faint patter of tiny feet could be heard through the thin walls of his room. He quickly zipped up his backpack and went deafly quiet, the footsteps grew louder, and louder until finally he could hear a door open, it was only his neighbor, Kally. The two have never actually spoke to each other before, but the thin walls of the old inn kept no secrets between the two, that one couldn?t hear. Marshal was slightly relieved, but didn?t quickly go back to his previous activity until he heard Kally pull out her old violin. He?s heard her play her violin on many occasions before and has developed a strong liking of the sad, yet beautiful music Kally so gracefully created on the old instrument. Marshal would often sing along with Kally in his head, it was his only escape from the unattractive and dirty world he lived in. After listening to Kally?s melody for a couple of minutes, Marshal for the first time realized that he longed to meet the musician behind the elegant songs he?s grown so accustomed to. Unfortunately, Marshal still didn?t feel secure enough with his self to do anything about his feelings.

Marshal then opened up a side pouch on his backpack, and pulled out a small piece of stale bread. He greedily gobbled it up in a matter of seconds, easily wiping out his entire supply of food. He decided to wait till later to replenish his supply, maybe sometime later that night, like he usually does to get food. He then got up and placed his backpack in the small closet beside the door that led out of his room, and climbed up onto his cold bed. He laid there thinking with his hands crossed under his head.

[Danethol]

[B][U]Name[/B][/U]: Satoshi Kaido

[B][U]Age[/B][/U]: 15

[B][U]Gender[/B][/U]: Male

[B][U]Appearance[/B][/U]: Though he may take a few liberties, Kaido is quite attractive, the only offset on his face being a thin scar across the bridge of his nose. Kaido often brags this to be a true-and-blue battle wound; and it is, to an extent. He gained it by not paying attention in a battle. His hair is tousled and dark black, reaching to the middle of his neck. His psychique isn't bad, but seeing as he keeps in shape primarily for looks instead of battle, it certainly isn't as ripped as other combatants his age. He wears general black and white ninjutsu clothes. His unique pride and joy though is his attention grabbing white scarf, which flows down from his neck to his lower back.

[B][U]Personality[/B][/U]: Kaido is an actor, and as such, certain attributes come with the description: egocentric, vain, approval seeking, and flashy. Kaido is a good person at heart, but when the spotlight's on him and everyone's watching, he has a history of becoming cocky and arrogant. Time will only tell if he can overcome this to become a true shinobi. He usually makes friends quickly, although some mock his posturing. He quickly takes after impulsive, fun-loving people, and often misunderstands quiet, shy people, preferring to go play with the class clowns.

[B][U]Grades[/B][/U]: [I]Taijutsu (Hand-to-Hand Combat)[/I]: Not his weakest point. Kaido keeps his body in shape for his "fans" anyway, so it's only natural he should apply those strengths to combat. When engaged in hand-to-hand combat, Kaido employs pressure-point strikes, joint locks, and attack counters primarily involving shoulders, elbows, and the back. His attacking speed could be rated as average, but when combined with acute precision and a concentration of chakra, his blows can shatter boulders. However, it should be noted that Kaido prefers to fight with weapons such as itos, katanas, shuriken, and kunai. He believes that flashy weapons can get more rise out of a crowd.
[I]Genjutsu (Illusionary Techniques)[/I]: Kaido's weakest point. Believing the average audience is stupid and won't understand complex illusion combos, Kaido doesn't concern himself with them. He is well known to say "Illusions are just spells without bang. Without bang, where's the fun?" However, he is also known to have lost many a battle to underestimating an opponent proficient in illusions...
[I]Ninjutsu (Ninja Techniques, which are quite like spells)[/I]: Kaido's strongest point. Finding hand-to-hand fighting boring and one-dimensional, Kaido is fascinated with the spectacle inherent in ninjutsu spells. He practises them stalwartly, eagerly awaiting the roar of the crowd from a show-stopping attack. Believing in the power of a well placed effect, he has proudly memorized dozens of fire, water, lightning, wind, ice, and earth spells. It is also not unknown for Kaido to make up an entirely new attack in the midst of combat. This unpredictable attack strategy keeps many opponents on their toes, and defeats most.

[B][U]Introductions Are In Order[/B][/U]:

"Step aside, losers!"

Kaido, Mizuho-school ninja cadet, strode through swarms of children to stand in the center of the playground. "I, Satoshi Kaido, will, for a limited time only, be accepting autograph requests from you, my loyal and devoted fans! Yes, any of you, for only a small fee of-"

Kaido suddenly stopped as he heard the sounds of contorted chuckles behind him. As he turned, he saw several students of his class leaning on each other, doubled other in laughter. ".....BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!" Look at this! Junior Mizukage here's charging seventh-graders for his autograph! What a goon! Haaahahahahahaaa!" Kaido slowly turned away with his eyes closed and a grimace on his face, trying to contain his dignity. "Now, don't mind them. They just don't know future talent when they see...eh?" Kaido opened his eyes to find the playground empty, except for one, slightly fat boy. "Gee, mista, really?" Kaido made a face as the boy wiped a particularly large strand of snot from his nose. "Umm, yeah, sure. Anyway, this one's on the house. Be sure to tell your friends, kid..."

Kaido sighed as he lay on his rooftop later that night. [I]"What a goon! Haaahahahahahaaa..."[/I] Kaido involuntarily shuddered. "Well, let them all laugh. I'll show them. One of these days, it'll be my name up in lights, not theirs! I swear on the stars I see above me, I'll go places. I'll make myself known. And I'll shine as brightly as these stars!" Kaido closed his eyes, and dreamt of fame and fortune as he had for the last 15 years of his life.

"...someday..."

[0ber0n the Neko]

Alright, DK wants to join.

Name: Sumasu Riku

Age: 15

Gender: Male

Appearance: Orange hair with odd black stripes. He has yellow eyes, and his apearance and build is much like a feline. (No, he doesnt have a cat face. It's just the first face that comes to mind.) When you look at him, he strikes you as somewhat of a stray cat.

Personality: Never popular because of his admittedly startling appearance, he seems to have just given up trying to be social. He speaks very little, but there is much inner strength within him. Even though nobody would care to ask, he is very intelligent and caring. Even softhearted and compassionate.

Ability: Has a keen eye for detail, and can recreate a scene perfectly. Nobody knows this, but he keeps a diary full of the magnificent pictures he has drawn. This keen eye helps him to quickly understand and counter others' techniques, even copy them at times. But let this not fool you, for it also grants him an astounding ability to combine maneuvers.

Grades:
Taijutsu- Strong, focused, but lacking in style. He is quick on his feet, but not with his hands. He often makes up for this lack of skill with illusions and magic. He is, however, quite proficient with katars and kunai. C
Genjutsu- His ability to allude and illude are masterful, while his technique is second to none. His quick feet add to this division of the ninja arts. He likes to use this to make up for his lack of proficiency in tai-jitsu. A
Ninjutsu- VERY focused, and very solid. Good at most elemental techniques, but a priodogy of the earth arts, and experimenting studiously in the art of shadow. His favorite technique is the Zan-pu-kato, a combination of both earth and shadow attacks. Strong point. A

Introductions Are In Order:

Great.

Another day at the academy for Riku. He detests being around his classmates, because they try to provoke him with (quite literally) cat-calls.

Another story.

"Here, kitty!" another student called after Riku. Riku stopped. He turned around, and gave him a sharp look. The look often denoting to everyone the importance of shutting up. He turned on his heel, and began to walk. "Here, kitty, kitty, kitty..." The boy continued. Everyone began to snicker. Riku just kept walking, staying uninvolved. Soon everyone had joined in the chant. "Here kitty, here kitty kitty!"

Riku spun, casting an earth spell on the boy, who all but dodged it. "Hey, kitty, play nice!" the boy snickered.

He was soon met with a blow to the face.

He skidded past a planter, and went headfirst into a rock, knocking him unconscious. All sound ceased.

Riku looked upon the crowd, imposing upon them the look of disbanding. Everyone walked away, slowly. Riku was the last to leave. Nobody there to feel for him. No compassion. He looked into his palm, and clenched his fist. He turned, and helped the boy he had just knocked out stand. The boy just looked at his face, and ran to get away from him.

Riku just stood watching as the last traces of the boy disappeared into an apartment building. He stood there, wondering for a moment, and then walked to his own secluded residence.

And as he went, a sad song followed.

"I'll be waiting for you to come for me again. Maybe this time I'll listen and follow you... nobody left but me..." as the sounds of the waterfall slowly drowned out the sound...

[COLOR=Indigo][B]Name:[/B] Ronu, Zet(sumei)
[B]Age:[/B] 15
[B]Gender:[/B] female
[B]Appearance:[/B] [URL=http://www.psycko-hentai.de/grafix/gallery/bg10/words_worth_99_292_1.jpg]click[/URL]
[B]Personality:[/B] Zet has always been the center of attention and always hated it. She hates it when people put pressure on her and at times when the pressure in to much for her to handle she goes a bit berserk. She has attempted to over come this problem and instead of secluding herself she went out with her head held high and become a social butterfly. Zet can be very talktive yet, she knows when to shut up, sometimes. Her main phobia is her fear to never let anyone down; which is strange because she takes everyones problems and caries them on her own shoulders which sometimes creates pressure for her. Yet somehow she dosen't break down when she dose this. A quirk of hers that is well known by her family, a bit to well known, is that when ever she gets angry or upset she gose out into the woods and practices her ninja skills. What angers Zet the most is when peopl talk bad about her old home village, Hidden Cloud Village, that has a very bad rep and turns out mostly assaians and wanted criamals. But she still manages to be a perky, outspoken and kind-hearted girl.
[B]Grades: [/B]
[I]Taijutsu [/I] : Zet is average in this feild but, she has a few techniques that she has mastered. At times she perfers Tatijutsu because she can get up close and personal but she much rather attack at a distance. Her normal grade in this feild falls along a D, manly because she dosen't really try hard in this feild.
[I]Genjutsu[/I] : Zet's second best techniques are in this feild, she can make basic illusions whenever she wants and, she could be a master in genjutsu yet, she doesn't care. Her main goal is to pass. Her normal grade is a C in this feild.
[I]Ninjutsu[/I] : THis is the area where Zet shines, she can preform any techinque and she has even mastered a few of the more advanced spells, she easily maintains an A in this feild.
[B]Introductions Are In Order:[/B] Black swirling clouds filled the air as if they were trying to match Zet's emotions. She stared into the darkness and watched as flashes of lighting quickly changed the night to day for a second. A bone chilling wind came from the north and caused Zet to pull her coat closer around her body. Suddently, Zet heard something in the darkness that sounded like breathing as she wondered what it could be a voice called out to answer her question," Zet get inside, its about to rain and you don't need to catch a cold!" A female voice hollared.
" I'll come in before it starts to rain Mother." Zet replied.
" Now!"
" Fine!" Zet stood up and walked up the stairs and started to head through the doorway when her mother stopped her.
" Zetsumei! I demaned a little respect! I know your not happy about the move but, you need to get over it. I'm worried." Her mother said with a voice that started harse but softened as she brussed back Zet's hair.
" Sorry mother, I'll control my anger andgive you and father the respect that you both deserve." Zet said drone-like.
" Good. Now I want you to o and do your homework. Okay?"
" Yes ma'am." Zet replied as she passed her mother and entered her room and began on her homework. Angry voices from her mother and father reached Zet's room and see paused to her the conversation.
" Rovan, she's not happy here. Why can't we move back?" Zet recognized that as her mother's voice.
" Because, Kanna she's growing up and at a very impresable age! Plus if the found out that she possess our families bloodline limit they'll try to make her a soilder. You don't want that do you?"
" No, but we hide when she was young! Why can't we keep on hiding it?"
Zet didn't here the rest of this conversation because her parents had lower there voices. Instead of trying to hear more she to go to bed because, she had to start a new school the next day and for once an unfamiler queasiness filled her stomach making it hard for her to fall asleep.[/COLOR]

[O-Ushi]

Alright, everyone's looking good thus far. I've PM'd people on any problems, and other things... anyway, Swordmaster, post it when you can, no hurry.

Also, spread the word! I want this thing to be big. Like, MEGA big...

Anyway, keep it low and lazy.

[B]Personality:[/B] He is more like a tough character, he is very secretive and easy to get aggravated. If he gets to know somebody he is welcoming and nice to them and will always protect them no matter what but if they come at him the wrong way he will back smack them. He is known as a twitchy person sometimes and even some ninja senai's fear him because of what he is capable of so he is very secretive and rarely talks.
[B]Grades:[/B] [I]Ninjitsu[/I]- This is what he is best at,he studies alot at it and he is almost a pro at it. He also reconises alot of the techniques that his enemies use.

[I]Taijutsu-[/I] This one is about a medium he is good at it but not the best,many people would give him a very good fight if they verse him in a good hand to hand combat and if he is lucky he will win but he is fairly good.

[I]Genjutsu-[/I] He is bad at this subject and someone can beat him with these illusionary techniques if he can't use ninjutsu.

[B]Introductions Are In Order:[/B] [I]"Shhhhhhhhhhshhhhh" was the only noise you could hear as Shidoyu walks through the forest. It was raining heavy and very cloudly making it harder for him to hear the noise of that shhshhing noise that were maby the noises of his training program which were "Black Ninja Parasites". Shidoyu started to run as he saw a pair of glowing blood red eyes appear from the shadows of a bush and leap out at him.

He jumped and dodged it then got a good look at it seeing that it was a short black creature that had very long and sharp claws that made ten deep holes in the group. Then more of these monsters jumped out and lunged towards Shidoyu as he jumped on to a tree branch and then clapped his hands together and started to rub them quickly together and say a chant as a thick dark orange mist started to raise up from his hand to his face. He made his hands part then did a big blow making a big blue fire go towards all of the enemies that were lunging towards him.

What he forgot is that he was in a forest that get caught in a fire as he was running for his dear life sprinting very fast with the fire racing behind him.......

[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue][b]Name:[/b] Genji Iku[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue][b]Age: [/b]14[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue][b]Gender:[/b] Female[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue][b]Appearance[/b]:[/color][/size][/font][url="http://angelroms.com/anime/Anime%20Girls/Close%20Up/Closeups-00101.jpg"][font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue] Iku in the light of the moon.[/color][/size][/font][/url]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue][b]Personality[/b]: It's hard to tell how Iku is feeling, because she can so easily disguise them. If she's crying, she might not really be sad, and when she laughs, her heart might be breaking, but you would never know it. It's because of this, the people she has met always say that it's a pity that she was born as a girl, or else she would be able to inherit her father's position in the Noh theater. However, no one knows that that is secretly her dream, and she would do anything to make it happen. Even training to become a ninja comes second to this dream.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue][b]Grades[/b]:[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue][i]Taijutsu:[/i] Iku is stronger than most girls in Taijutsu. But she still has not come close to the level some of the boys that she knows, have reached. She hopes to overcome that obstacle soon, so that she will no longer be teased about it.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue][i]Genjutsu:[/i] With what she lacks in Taijutsu skills, Iku tries to make up for it in Genjutsu and Ninjutsu. She is about average in her Genjutsu skills.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue][i]Ninjutsu:[/i] The second area that Iku has been focusing in to make up for what she lacks in Taijutsu. Ninjitsu is where she truly shines, she doesn't seem to even have to think when she's using a spell. Her hands just move on their own.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue][b]Introductions Are In Order[/b]: (Good Idea, O. This is a lot more fun than a bio. Here's mine.)[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue]I stopped and looked around cautiously. It seemed like no one was around, but my uncle, who was visiting, could be a very light sleeper. I slowly opened the door to the room where my father - a famous noh actor - kept his costume. I knew it would be wrong to take his [/color][/size][/font][url="http://www.jhg.co.jp/2him_men/tengu.jpg"][font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue]Tengu mask[/color][/size][/font][/url][font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue], and his [/color][/size][/font][url="http://www.hogaku.it/discografia/shakuhachi/imgl/lyrcd_7176.jpg"][font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue]Shakuhachi flute[/color][/size][/font][/url][font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue] but I had to become a noh actor like him, even if he was out of a job for a little while until my dream came true. If I could only disguise myself as a boy, maybe they would give me a chance to show off my acting skills. And I knew if they saw how well I could act, they wouldn't care if I was actually a girl. But just as I grabbed the mask and flute, I heard a small voice say my name. It was my little brother, Koji. His black hair ruffled from sleep. He was the one that was expected to succeed my father, and deep down inside, I kind of hated him because of that. Even though I knew he couldn't help being born as a boy. Just like I couldn't help being born as a girl. But then when I saw his curious, half-asleep face, I couldn't be mad at him anymore. He asked me what I was doing, and i told him that I was following my dream, and I was prepared for the trouble that I would get into for doing so. He began to cry, so I hugged him before I left. I hope he could understand how much this meant to me, and how much I had to do it. But I was sure of one thing, though. I knew I could trust him not to tell anyone that I was the one who stole the flute and mask...[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue]I bathed in a nearby pond, that Koji and I had found on one of our many journeys. It was our secret pond that no one else knew of. I looked at the grass, where I had put my clothes and my bag. The Tengu mask was staring up at me, with a look on it's face that seemed to say that I would never succeed in what I was trying to accomplish.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue][b]"Yes, I will. Just wait and see."[/b] I said angrily.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue]To my surprise, the mask actually answered me back.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue]"[b]You're too proud, little one, and you have too much confidence in your abilities. You will fail, and probably die when you do."[/b][/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue]Shocked, I dressed, and then grabbed my bag. But before I put it over my shoulder, I brought out the Tengu mask and put it on. I'm not sure why I did it. Maybe I thought I needed a disguise or something like that. Then, I put my hair back into a ponytail, and continued on my journey. Soon, i would have to cut my hair, and buy some baggier clothes, if I was ever going to pass myself off as a boy.[/color][/size][/font]

[Sword Breaker]

[COLOR=DarkRed]Ok, here I go.

Name: Saritoko Irika

Age:15

Gender: Male

Appearance: Irika is a small, short, plump person, with a stoutly built face. His eyes are a soft, inoccent orange, wide and staring. His hair is short, and bright orange. His head is round, very round, a small, squished nose, with a rounded chin. His limbs are quite short, stout and strong. He usually wares the Ninja outfit of Mizuha, becouse he feals that ti fits him quiet well.

Grades:
Taijutsu: This is a bit difficult to explain, but it is, basiclly, his best aspect. His large stature gives him a great ability to push people around with his body, which comes in handy. The thing is, his full potential dosn't come out unless he uses his secret technique, somthing he learned from his father, that allowes him to triple his size, strength, yet makes him fatter, and less agile.
Genjutsu: His medium aspect, Irika is good at making copies of himself, as well as using Henge No Jutsu (That is the illusion technique, I belive... it could possibly be the form of Naruto's Sexy No Jutsu, I always get those comfused...) but lakes any unique talents in this field.
Ninjutsu: Irika's worst aspect, he is horible when it comes to holding, and forming, Chakra into weapons. In fact, the only Ninjutsu he has ever bothered to learn was his technique for multiplying his size. His father named it Fatness No Jutsu ( I'm not to good at Japense, bare with me!) which he proudly shouts while preforming it. (This technique is similer to Choji's, exept it dose not form him into a ball, and it dosen't make him quite as large.)

Personality: Irika is a very outspoken person, who dose not like to be put down. He is cheery, and will usually return a hello when given one. He is quite determined, though not a great ninja, to at least become a Chuunin, but he is ultimatly aspiring to be a Jounin, just like his father. He is a very hard worker, he always tries to do what he can. Dispite this, he still has an eating disorder, which is responsible for his fat, yet muscles, figure,

Intro: (Yeah, this dose beat thehell out of a Bio! Good thinking!)

Irika's normally soft eyes narrowed, determined and hardwilld. Once again, his finger came together in the various seals of Fatness No Jutsu, and once again a puff of blue smoke was the only thing produced. Irika let out a scream of frustration, and flailed his arms. Sweat was pouring down his brow, he had been at for over four hours now, and still he failed. His dad, watching the whole time, let out a small, chuckling laugh. He was built just like Irika, with brown eyes, longer hair, and, of course, he was older.
"You know, Soria, you should give your son a hand. He has been at that for hours now." It was Ika, a long time friend of the familly, a Jounin.
"Yeah, but I bet it's best for him to learn it himself." Soria said, leaning back againts a old wooden fence, the one that marked their property. He was a Jounin, aswell, and he and Ika had been partners, a long while ago.
"That's just like you, man." Ika said in his usual, laid back tone, "Your too lazy to even help your own son, tsk tsk tsk." Ika said jokeingly, smiling and waving a glvoed finger.
"What're you talkin' about? I'm helping! Just look at him, reminds me of me, when I was younger." Soria said proudly, fire in his eyes, a smile on his face.
"Yeah, but, Soria, when you were young you were a big fat slob..." Ika didn't finish, he was too busy laughing.
"Hey! I still took you, I kicked your ***!" Soria said, hitting Ika on the head with a closed fist.

Irika caughed, falling too one knee. He was panting heavily, the training was really taking it's toll. Once again he gathered his Chakara, and began the procedure to preform Fatness No Jutsu... the seals fell into practiced percision, the Chakra began to flow... and a giant puff of blue smoke enveloped him. When his eyes finally cleared, Irika stared around, waiting for another disapointment. He didn't recive one. As he looked down, he noticed somthing strange. Were was the ground? He couldn't see it atall, just his massive gut!! Fatness No Jutsu? But it didn't look this way when his father did it... what the?
"AHH! This isn't what it's supposed to be like!" Irika screamed, his jaw dropping, his face going white with embaressment.
"Damn, boy, you really made a mess of my Jutsu! Reverse it, NOW!" Sonia screamed, angery. How dare the boy make such a mockery of his Jutsu?!
"H-how? How the hell do I get rid of this! AHHH!" The thought of being stuck this way forever was not pleasent, in fact, it made Irika scream, scream as loud as he could. And he did. Ika laughed heartly the whole time. In time, Irika did reverse the Jutsu, and, through years of practice, he mastered the true form of Fatness No Jutsu.

(Note: This happened when he was 11, so he has had 4 years of training in the Jutsu.)[/COLOR]

[Rhym]

Name: Toshigo Iyado
Age: 14
Gender: Male
Appearence: Iyado lost his left eye when he was 12, his first year at the academy. Other than the eyepatch, he wears a black bandana, a simple dark green gi, brown sandals and grey toe-socks. (I don't know the specific japanese name of them)
Personality: Iyado lost his eye in a bout of carelessness on the academy's throwing weapon range. Before, he was very outgoing and somewhat naive, the class goof-off. But the accident hardened him, turned him inward. Now, he rarely smiles, and his remaining eye is filled with the anger and regret that comes with 2 years of pain, wishing that he could've been less careless.
Grades:
Taijutsu- He tries, but due to his impared depth perception, it's his worst subject. C, kind of as a pity grade.
Genjutsu- His best subject. Before the accident, before even his enrollment, he was an expert on camoflage. Even without exerting chakra, he can blend in with his surroundings, and people often don't notice he's in a room until he makes a noise. A.
Ninjutsu- He has extreme focus, but isn't quite natural at the magic of the shinobi. Still, he does all right for himself. B.
Introductions are in Order: Every thread should do something like this!

[I]Iyado smiled in slight satisfaction as his last kunai thunked into the target at the end of the range. It was a wonderful sunny day at the kunai range. The sun smiled down on his class, and a light breeze ruffled their gis, though not strongly enough to create an inconvenient crosswind. He had done this countless times before, and so thought nothing as he started to walk out to retrieve them. He barely registered his instructor calling out after him.

"Iyado, wait! It is not safe!"

He turned just in time to experience a blinding pain in his left eye, and retained conciousness long enough to hear the screams, and feel the earth come up to meet him.[/I]

Iyado woke with a start, his empty socket tingling with the memory of old wounds. He sighed as he strapped on his patch. [I]Just once, if I could have a different dream...[/I] He stepped out of his dorm to face the new day...

PM me if I need to change anything!

[Danethol]

Okay, U-Oshi, here's the Sennin you wanted.

[b][u]Name[/b][/u]: Sabaku Senpu

[b][u]Age[/b][/u]:32

[b][u]Gender[/b][/u]: Male

[b][u]Appearance[/b][/u]: Senpu wears the traditional outfit of Mizuho shinobi, differing only in the extra kunai holders strapped onto his arms and legs. He always wears a black cloth over his mouth and nose, and wears his hitai-ate headband very broadly, making his piercing grey eyes the only part of his face clearly visible. His long, white hair spikes upward .

[b][u]Grades[/b][/u]: [i]Taijutsu[/i]: By far, this is Senpu's greatest strength. While not neccesarily thin, Senpu is not the burliest fighter around. However, he [u]more[/u] than makes up for this in his speed. It is this very speed that has earned him the title of the "Whirlwind Fang." Grasping a kunai in each hand, he can literally become a living tornado, mowing down all in his way. This ferocity in battle commands respect from students and fellow teachers alike.
[i]Genjutsu[/i]: Senpu's second strongest ability, only barely less potent than his hand-to-hand strengths. By mastering illusions such as temporary invisibility, the art of substitution, transformation, duplication, and mirages, battles can sometimes end before the opponent even realises Senpu was there.
[i]Ninjutsu[/i]: Just as strong as his Genjutsu, barely less than his Taijutsu. Over the course of his life, Senpu has memorized and mastered over a hundred ninjutsu spells and chants. His greatest strength, his kekki-genkai, can be ranked as both a ninjutsu and taijutsu ability. Oni Senpu, or "Demon Wind", speeds up the air around Senpu's body so quickly that upon contact, an opponents flesh can literally be split open and cut by the sheer rotational force permeating from Senpu's body.With the wave of an arm, Senpu has been known to slice limps off. This ability, his most dangerous, should [u]never[/u] be underestimated.

[b][u]Personality[/b][/u]: Senpu has a sharp intellect, little patient for stupidity, and respect for potential. He may not connect very well with the other instructors, but to his students, he often becomes a second father, though he rarely registers his affections on the outside. He will never fatal harm come to a student during a mission, even at the cost of his own life.

[b][u]Intro[/b][/u]: Coming soon. Sorry, it's late!
