Ezekiel Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 [SIZE=1][CENTER][COLOR=DarkGreen][CENTER][B]Fallen Leaves[/B][/CENTER] The green leaves of Konoha?s forest blew only slightly in the light spring breeze, the sky overhead a dome of blue and white, letting the bright rays shine through pleasantly. A whistle was barely heard through the branches as the blur of a girl seemed to fly through the trees. She was followed by someone on the ground, his shadow flickering briefly against the trunks of trees. Suddenly the boy came to a stop, a kunai stuck into the grass just in front of his left foot. He grinned and looked up to see his friend standing solidly on a tree branch, looking down at him with a smirk on her pale skinned face. [B]?Oi, your aim is improving, ne, Katsuo??[/B] [B]?Hai! And you?re getting slow, baka!?[/B] The girl winked before jumping down from the tree, landing smartly in front of her friend. [B]?We should get going, Yamanaka-Sensei would be pissed if we?re late!?[/B] [B]?Tch??[/B] The two left together, sprinting out of the forest and through the streets of Konoha, barely dodging other villagers as they went. The Academy was waiting, and pretty soon they would be tested to see if they could graduate. They would become Genin, and they would protect their village. Yamanaka Ino stood seriously in front of her students, some red faced from the last minute sprint to make the exam on time. She remembered when she?d gone through this and sighed at the memory. [I]?Those were the days??[/I] There was some muttering amongst the students and Ino looked up, glancing across the line. She closed her eyes, braced herself, then started to speak, [B]?You all know what you?re going in for, kids. Pretty much all of your have trained hard, and I?ve been impressed. You?ll make excellent ninja.?[/B] The kids smiled back and nodded firmly, in a few minutes it would begin, and they?d prove their worth.[/COLOR][/CENTER] So this is my shot at a Naruto RP. I?ve been arguing with myself for a while on how to approach this, because I was very tempted to use most of the original characters from the anime. However, I?d like to attract people who maybe don?t know that much about the Naruto anime, so giving people free reign over their characters will make more people sign up. I figure. Anyway. For those of you who know the series, this is based about fifteen years after it started. So all the Ninja we grew to love are either 27 or 28 years old. For example, Ino is a Chuunin (Instructor, the level above a Genin, also the leader of a group of ninja) and is 22 years old. You will be playing as the 12-year-old kids hoping to become worthy Genin, or, if you like, I?ll gladly accept a couple of original characters as Jounin. But I?d prefer to keep them limited to one or two. Of course, anyone who signs up will pass the exam, but that?s beside the point. If you wish to play as one of the older characters, you can either be a Chuunin or Jounin (Level above a Chuunin, one who is sent on dangerous missions and who leads a Cell, a group of three, Genin ninja). Make your choices wisely: Ino, for example, is not as strong as Neji, therefore would not hold the same rank. Characters such as Neji, Sasuke and Naruto would be Jounin. The likes of Chouji, Kiba etc would probably be Chuunin. And this isn?t just going to be some lame thing where we go through the world of Naruto and have fun. I?m going to be introducing the more violent enemy of this soon enough, so you?ll have your intense fighting. There?s a better explanation of this, however, in the [URL=http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?p=707683#post707683][B][COLOR=Red]Underground[/COLOR][/B][/URL] thread, so please check it out if you want to learn more. That?s enough talking, I believe, so I?ll leave you to sign up/flee in a hurry. [B]Name:[/B] Japanese, obviously. Family name first, please. [B]Age:[/B] All Rookie Genin are 12, if you?re playing as a character from the series, you?ll be 27/28. [B]Gender:[/B] [B]Appearance:[/B] I don?t want 12 year olds who look like they?re 20. I know the characters from the series look about 14, so that?s about as far as I?ll stretch. If you?re playing as a Naruto character, just give a picture of what they looked like in the series and a description of how they look now, what they wear etc. Rank: Rookie Genin, Chuunin or Jounin [B]Personality:[/B] Varied personalities, please and thank you. [B]Equipment:[/B] This is where you may have to do a little research. Equipment would be things like kunai, shuriken, smoke bombs etc. Use [URL=http://www.narutofan.com/index.php][B][COLOR=Red]this site[/COLOR][/B][/URL] to check up on weapons if you like. Remember that Ninja can?t carry big packs around with them, so please don?t carry 20 kunai with you on your thighs. [B]Main Weapon/Technique:[/B] I don?t want to go into all the different types of fighting styles, so this will make things a little more simple. If you want to be a strong physical fighter, like Rock Lee, state the fact here and describe your fighting style. If you want to be good with weapons, talk about it here of, if you want to have one master technique (Like Shikamaru?s Shadow Manipulation) then you need to tell us about it. Ninja, like normal students, aren?t equal in all areas. I want people to be varied with their choices. (Obviously, if you?re a Chuunin/Jounin, you?ll be pretty balanced. But still feel free to talk about what your strongest point is.) [B]Biography/Writing Sample:[/B] Choose which one you?ll find easier. I suggest editing these as more people sign up, because character interaction is absolutely necessary in this RP. Talk about relationships you have with other characters either here or in your Extra Notes. [B]Extra Notes:[/B] Anything else you feel we need to know about your character goes here. To save repitition, I'll post the basic info on characters in this post. Even though I haven't posted my sign up yet, my charaters is pretty sorted.

Dodeca Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 [B]Name:[/B] Ii Munemura [B]Age:[/B] 12 [B] Gender:[/B] Male [B]Appearance:[/B] Not much taller than your average 12-year old, Munemura has medium-length dark brown hair that he wears in a not-quite-top-knot style, tied up but then drooping down at the back. His outfit is grey-green in colour, except for the sandals, which are a darker shade, nearly black. Beneath the belt, his clothes are relatively loose fitting, giving plenty of room for movement - inspite of the fact that he rarely needs it. Above, it is more form-fitting, and covers most of his upper body, from the chin down, except for the left sleeve (down from the shoulder) which is cut away for ease of throwing. The right arm is fully covered, and is fitted with several tiny metal plates down the length of the sleeve, offering minor protection. [B]Rank:[/B] Rookie Genin [B]Personality:[/B] He prefers to give the appearance of being open and honest with his friends and colleagues, but in reality keeps more secrets than he can remember. Often acting very cautiously, he feels uncomfortable putting himself in risky situations, and some wonder if he really has what it takes to become a fully-fledged Genin. [B]Equipment:[/B] He carries 5 narrow-bladed kunai in two pouches, one on his left hip, and the other at his back. The back pouch also contains a single smoke bomb, for use in emergencies. Concealed in a swall wrist pouch on his right arm is a sixth, even smaller kunai - likewise, mainly for emergencies. [B]Main Weapon/Technique:[/B] Munemura's weapon of choice is a sickle and chain Kusarigama. Using the chain attachment doesn't allow the greatest control of the weapon, but he prefers to use it in keeping hand-to-hand specialists within striking range, but outside of arms-reach. He rarely uses Chakra-based techniques, and those that he does use are generally defensive, supporting his 'playing it safe' style. He usually wields the kusarigama in his right hand alone if possible, leaving his left free for the use of his kunai. In recent months, Munemura has attempted to devise and perfect an offensive Jutsu he calls the Murakumo-ken, or "Clouded Blade". This acts in a similiar way to a Bunshin Jutsu, except the chakra used forms only a copy of the kusarigama, rather than a complete copy of Munemura. This extra sickle(s) should be almost invisible, and mimic the motions of the original blade with a slight delay, but Munemura has yet to achieve these effects in unison. The most successful attempt produced an invisible, uncontrollable kusarigama which, had he not been training under supervision, might have cost Munemura his life. [B]Biography:[/B] Born to a relatively small family within the hidden leaf village of Konoha, Munemura's parents were surprised to hear that their only son had been seen to have 'potential' as a ninja. He was taken into the academy at the age of nine, and was part encouraged, part pressured to suceed by his family. He soon became quite adept with the usage of the kusarigama, but was often criticised for his lack of initiative in using it. Always concerned of what his parents might think of him if he was forced to drop out, he took care to stay 'acceptable' in the eyes of his tutors, but in doing so seemed to lack enthusiasm. His outlook began to change, if only by a little, in his second year, when he was introduced to Suzuharu Koda, an instructor at the academy. He had briefly heard of him and how he came to be in Konoha through his father, who had shared a long friendship with the ramen chef, but that had been all. Though he, naturally, rarely talked or engaged in any way with Koda, Munemura admired his strength. He could never 'be like him' in terms of his unique skills, but he wished, if nothing else, to see him fight for real, and to do so he would need to become a Genin. As the exam approaches, all Munemura can think about is his hopeful future as a Genin. Both for his own aspirations, and the hopes of his family. [B]Extra Notes:[/B] - Although he has naturally become acquainted with many of the other Rookie Genin, there are very few of them that he would really class as 'best friends', save for Yamashita Ayame. The only two classmates he feels somewhat uncomfortable around are Junko and Ginmaru - due to basic differences in opinions and personalities. - Naturally, his Murakumo-ken technique would offer no advantage against a Hyuuga clan member, who would be able to identify the blade's presence even when barely visible. -------------------- Just as a quick note, I'm completely unfamiliar with Naruto beyond the name. I had to look up pretty much everything on that site you gave the link for, and... well, yeah. Still, this looks like a good RP, so I'll sign up regardless. :sweat: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disenchanted Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Same here Dodeca :animesigh --------------------------------------------------------- [B]Name:[/B] Yamashita Ayame [B]Age:[/B] 12 [B]Gender:[/B] Female [B]Appearance: [/B] [URL=http://www.animevisions.net/Pictures/girls/girls111.jpg]This is what she looks like[/URL] Ignore the Umbrella [URL=http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/4496/tg0104xd.jpg]This is what she wears[/URL] Ignore the swords [B]Rank:[/B] Rookie Genin [B]Personality:[/B] Smart but not full of her self. (Although she can be at some times when she decides to speak). Most of the time she can be quite shy around people, observing them and getting to know them better. Big crowds aren?t her thing, but will stand them for the sake of it. If she?s laughing its usually on the inside. [B]Equipment: [/B]carries Makibishi (throwing nails) on her right leg, mostly as a distraction, can be used as a main weapon though inaccurate. She carries a windmill shuriken and has leant to throw it with more accuracy than most. Carries 3 light bombs on her left leg. [B]Main Weapon/Technique:[/B] Ayame uses Controlled movements in battle, preferring not to engage in hand to hand combat. She likes to keep her battles ranged, not letting her opponent get in close and attacking them from afar with throwing objects. She likes to throw her voice around confusing her enemies as to her true location. [B]Biography/Writing Sample: [/B] Yamashita Ayame has known Shaka Yuo since they were small children. The grew up playing together and were both taken to the Academy at the same time. Shaka is her best friend and mostly only talk to him when she?s not feeling incredibly shy. Upon entering the academy Ayame became good friends with Ii Munemura by talking to him on occasion. Ayame?s father was a ninja and so was her grandfather, she aspires to be as good as they were being an only child and there being no other children to carry on the tradition. Within the academy it became apparent to the instructors very quickly that Ayame was very good a throwing things. If she was ever taunted by other Genin they would be quickly answered with an object being thrown at them. In most cases it would land in the middle of their forehead. This habit has landed her in trouble more than once. She fells that she must do her best to honor her deceased father?s memory. Honor is extremely important to her.

Annie Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 [size=1]The bio/writing sample is a bit long; but it's for good reason to expalin this unique character. I will say that I did improvise and add a few things. If it confuses, please PM me. ^_^ [b]Name[/b]- Zankokusa Shogo (?Sho? with given permission) [b]Height[/b]- 5' 10" [b]Weight[/b]- 172 lbs (very lean) [b]Age[/b]- 25 [b]Gender[/b]- Male [b]Appearance[/b]- [url=http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b7/anne-mae/ninja.jpg][color=orange]Sho[/color][/url], being the unique fellow he is, doesn?t comply with the normal, typical, Jounin appearance of wearing the navy blue suit; though, he does wear the green vest. Normally, Sho is seen wearing a pair of charcoal and black [url=http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b7/anne-mae/hakama_pant.jpg][b]hakama pants[/b][/url] and wooden [url=http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b7/anne-mae/geta_sandals.jpg][b]geta sandals[/b][/url]. His torso is covered in scars so his upper body (from his neck to his wrists and waist) is completely wrapped with muslin bandage; the trademark vest is worn over the bandage wrapping. His face is also covered in scars, but the only thing to be done is wear his home village?s head protector across his eyes (he can?t use them anyway). He lets his long, dark brown hair do pretty much whatever it wants. It's one battle he cannot win; though he does manage to keep most of it up in a ponytail. [b]Rank[/b]- Jounin [b]Personality[/b]-To describe Sho, we?d have to look inside the mind of a maniac. He?s very creative, morbidly to say, and is always on the move. He?s cocky and playful, but punctual and merciless; there is no way to tell if he?s going to praise you (if he would at all) or decapitate you for being an idiot. Oh, yes, he?s short-tempered. But only in battle. When training, Sho is cautious, strict, deathly serious, but pretty much calm. When speaking to Sho on a normal conversation level, he can be crude and vulgar; depends on who he?s talking to. [b]Equipment[/b]- Sho carries the standard kunai on his right thigh, shuriken on his left thigh, and wears a small hip bag, located comfortably on the small of his back, that is full of makibishi [look [url=http://www.narutofan.com/index.php/content-naruto%20encyclopedia,index]here[/url] for info]. Also in the back are your usual smoke bombs, exploding notes, and flash bombs Sho picked up in his travels. These bombs work like smoke bombs, only they release a blinding flash rather than smoke. He uses light-weight, but durable [url=http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b7/anne-mae/image5.jpg][b]twin axes[/b][/url]. They are criss-crossed on his back. [b]Main Weapon/Technique[/b]- Sho, although blind, wields his twin axes with unbelievable precision and grace. Their small size allows for close ranged combat when Jutsu isn?t enough, or can?t be summoned quickly enough. Having no eye sight is a great advantage for Sho in the sense that the opponent cannot read his eyes to figure out what he plans on doing. Sho has perfected Genjutsu and Taijutsu, and shows no mercy once engaged in actual combat. Sho is at the most advantage due to the element of surprise and confusion; usually his opponent?s last words are ?He has no eyes?.how can he see..?. The confusion of Sho?s abilities stuns the opponent and allows him to move in for the kill. Not to mention his tricky Genjutsu plays a large role. What a tricky devil, he is. [b]Biography/Writing Sample[/b]-To understand Shogo, we might want to start in the very roots of his life; starting with his birth? [I][b]?What do you suppose we should do? You know what Hokage Iichiro-sama will do when he finds out about this,? [/b]the house maid questioned Zankokusa Hitashi, the head of the house, the father. [b]?Hitashi-san! Hitashi-san!?[/b] the gardener ran into the house, throwing himself by the feet of the Master. [b]?What is it? Get up off your knees.? ?Th-the Hokage..he?s coming! I tried to delay him, but his henchman..I couldn?t..?[/b] The gardener panted and shook with fear. He looked over to the Master?s wife, she lay in silence, cradling her newborn infant. He noticed the baby?s movement, but not the mother?s. In a sense of confusion, he looked to Hitashi. [b]?Please, take my son away from here. Please, Miki-kun, take him and run as far as you can,? [/b]Hitashi pleaded on his knees, [b]?If Hokage-sama gets his hands on my son, he?ll destroy his gift.? ?Are you saying..? ?Yes, my son, Zankokusa Shogo, has the Sharingan.?[/b][/I] The Sharingan, an incredible ability, the advanced bloodline. And to Hokage Iichiro-sama, a threat to his village?s peace and balance. He believed that the Sharingan was a tool used to create envy amongst other ninjas, and used against honor. He believed that the copying technique the Sharingan was a cheap trick, and should be banned from the ninja?s use. So, to help regulate this bloodline in his village, he made it law to visit each household when the family gave birth to new life. If the child had the Sharingan eye, or eyes, Hokage-sama would have the eyes removed and destroyed. So, what happened to Shogo? Unfortunately, the poor gardener was no match for Hokage?s Anbu; several days after fleeing the village, the gardener was caught and beheaded. However, to his advantage, the gardener was a master at hiding anything he stole. Just a day after fleeing, he hid the infant boy in the depths of the woods. His wife, who was from a neighboring village, gladly took care of Shogo after the gardener was caught. She took care of Shogo until he reached the age of four, until the day she was found; the day Sho got his first kill. [I]He got his first kill while fetching water from the well; it was a wild boar. He had been bending over the well to pull up the bucket when he saw the bushes in front of him wrestling around. The sound of grunting and obscene growling erupted and the bushes burst open, revealing the hideous beast they hid. The boar squealed and charged straight for Shogo. With a blink of the eye, Shogo thrust a shuriken and rolled out of the beast?s rampaging path. He got up quickly, knowing if he didn?t hit it, the boar would come right back. He expected the boar to be hurt, but was surprised to find out what he had truly done. It lay on its side, lifeless and silent. With a great deal of caution, Shogo crept up to the animal that was as big as he was, and kicked at it with his foot. The over-sized pig did not move. Sho leaned over to investigate to find his shuriken lodged deep into the boar?s forehead; right between the eyes. [b]?That was a perfect hit, child,?[/b] a dark, smooth voice came from behind. But before he could whip out another star, his wrist was caught in a death grip and a hand clasped over his mouth. The speed was incredible, and it fascinated Shogo. He looked up to see a figure draped in black robes with a ceramic, cat-like mask. The figure knelt down and released Shogo?s hand. [b]?You?re going to come with me, child. But you must be quiet. If you do not be quiet, I will have to be mean to you,?[/b] he spoke soundly, tilting his head, [b]?I do not want to be mean to you, Zankokusa Shogo. You will be a great ninja some day. I can see that you have amazing potential.?[/b] The figure pointed at the hump of stinking beast. [b]?Now, I?m going to take my hand from your mouth. But promise me that you will not scream,?[/b] the figure pointed his finger to his masked mouth and lifted his hand from Shogo?s face. [b]?Where are we going? Are you a ninja? Will you teach me so I can protect Shiizu-sama?? ?Yes, I am a ninja. A very special type of ninja-? ?Can I be one too??[/b] Shogo?s strange eyes twinkled with delight and hope. [b]?Perhaps,?[/b] the figure chuckled lightly and stood up, [b]?Now, take my hand, we will leave now.? ?What about Shiizu-sama? I want to say good-bye to her.? ?She already knows about your departure with me. The thought of saying ?good-bye? to you was too much for her to bear. I respected her wishes by taking you without her seeing you go. It would?ve made her cry, she said to me.?[/b] With some hesitation, Shogo took the man?s hand and walked away from all that he knew. [b]?What is your name, Sir?? ?You can just call me ?Anbu?.?[/b][/I] Surely, Sho was deceived and brought straight to Hokage. His beautifully cursed eyes were removed, and began his long journey. For years, Shogo struggled to live with the foster family he had been placed in. His mother, obviously, died in childbirth. His father tried to fight off the shinobi but lost his life. Shogo?s foster family took good care of him, it was like he was one of their own. But no matter how good the family was to him, Shogo couldn?t feel comfortable or loved. He had nothing going for him; he had no vision, he had no true friends, no true family. His dream to become a great ninja was shattered, and it was only rubbed deeper into his face from the other kids at school. His only friend left public school to go to the ninja academy, and never contacted him again. [I][b]?Haha! No eyes wants to be a ninja! Hey, Zankokusa, you?ll never be a ninja! You?ll have to have a seeing-dog! Haha!?[/b] The children would laugh and joke, often playing cruel pranks on Shogo. One time, they set thorn brushes on his chair, and that was the nicest thing they ever did. It was when Shogo was in third grade that he got his vengeance. His teacher, Uzimaru-sensei, showed pride and confidence for Shogo. [b]?Shogo-kun, why do you let them torment you?? ?Because, they are right. I?m nothing..and I can?t see them to hit them! What am I supposed to do?!? ?Shogo-kun,?[/b] Uzimaru placed a hand on the trembling boy?s shoulder. [I]What is this..h-he has?incredible..[/I] [b]?Shogo, what would you say if I were to teach you the ways of the ninja?? ?Sensei, I can?t see. How can I-? ?Did you not pay attention to last week?s lesson? The one about chakra?? ?How can that help me..??[/b] The teacher chuckled, and giving Shogo a bowl grapes, he began to explain that chakra can not only be used for jutsu?s, but if he were able to keep proper use and control, Shogo could use it for vision. With intense training and control, Shogo learned how to expel enough chakra to bounce off of, or form around, objects. And with that energy that was bounced back, or radiated from the set object, Shogo was able to ?see? what was around him. This, of course, was a process that took two years to control. Fortunately for Shogo, Uzimaru-Sensei adopted him, and continued to teach him the ways of being a ninja. [b]?Again, Sho. You almost had it!? ?Yes, Uzimaru-Sensei,?[/b] Shogo, now age 10, was mastering the Hidden Eye?s special, and most powerful Genjutsu. [b]? ?9 HELLS? NO GENJUTSU!!? [/b] The small child?s body levitated inches above the ground, the sky around him blackened and rolled with thunder. [b]?That?s it, Sho! Keep control! Don?t be afraid of what happens to me!?[/b] A thick fog filled the training arena, moans from the ghost-like demons fluctuated from dull to ear-piercing, and Shogo stood calmly in the midst of the darkness. His small body shone with a purple light. [b]?Now, just relax, Sho. Do not let the demons around you enter your thoughts. Allow them to flow freely. You can control them. With your control, you can use them to attack, or to defend. Of course, this technique only works on people who have weak inhibitions. Now, release the jutsu. I am proud of you, Shogo. You will be the best ninja that the Hidden Eye has ever produced??[/b][/I] And that?s just what he did. With Uzimaru?s help and ?gentle? persuasion, he was able to convince the dean of the academy to accept Shogo. Only some adjustments had to be made for Shogo, and it was a difficult stay in the academy because of his inability to see. This only aided in perfecting is talents. All of his tests were vocal, and tedious for the teacher. Luckily, Ikuu-sensei?s patience and understanding were abundant. Shogo trained under Uzimaru?s care, and Ikuu?s as well. The Genin exam was nothing for Shogo; it was more of a playground for him. His chakra control and stamina were above even his Jounin?s levels. So it was no surprise that Shogo advanced with little struggle. However, the missions got harder as he advanced more into his training as a Chuunin. Even more difficult, he was on his own now. No teammates, no sensei?s to hold his hand. Instead of someone holding his hand, he had Genin?s of his own to worry about. Not like he couldn?t take care of himself, he was the master of chakra control after all, but to convince a few cocky younglings that he was the best out there was another story. Jounin exams, age an unheard of 18, Shogo proved his worth, and showed a bit of a weakness. To advance to Jounin, Shogo was thrown into a hostile environment completely on his own and ordered to complete an A-class mission. His mission was considered a suicide mission, and was rumored to have a 2 out of 50 survival/or completion ratio--whichever came first, death or completion of the mission. Now, Shogo is no wimp or sissy, or unfortunate for the lack of perfect vision, when it came to defeating many other shinobi. In fact, he held the country?s record for defeating a small army of shinobi on his own within hours. It normally took a group of ninja an entire day, or two, to accomplish such madness. But, it was a challenge when Shogo was faced with dozens to hundreds of enemies at once. And this was only the beginning of his Jounin exam. But, he survived, proudly. A grueling week of non-stop fighting ended with his, and one other selected out of 75, graduation to Jounin. After his graduation, Sho was sent on one final, permanent mission; to train Genin at Konoha?s ninja academy. Many times he was questioned about his teaching habits, but they were waved off because almost every single one of his Genin went on to be Chuunin. [b]Extra Notes[/b]- (1) Though he has a temper and puts on a mask of badness, Sho does have a soft spot for children. Piss him off, though, and you?ve just created yourself a world of Hell under his supervision. You?re only salvation is failure of training and getting a new teacher, or surviving to become Chuunin. (2) His head protector is marked with his home village's symbol, but he is most definitely a Jounin for Hidden Leaf. He honors and is loyal to Hidden Leaf, but he will always be Hidden Eye. (3) He admires Aogiri Kaname, and will backhand the person who upsets her in any way. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me.[/size] *In his appearance, ignore the weapons check behind him. And I added two pictures of him wearing the vest. The back shot is to show how he carries his axes, and the crouching shot is just for S & Gs. ^_^ Because he's just so freakin' hot...>>; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKC Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 [size=1][color=darkorange]FINAL EDIT: Okay, I've edited my bio and the last thing. I won't be changing anything else. ------ [b]Name[/b]: Akano Kazuko [b]Age[/b]: 12 [b]Gender[/b]: male [b]Appearance[/b]: [URL=http://images.deviantart.com/large/indyart/anime/Contest_-_OC_Lightning_Nin.jpg]Kazuko[/URL] (not a cloud head band though) [b]Rank[/b]: Rookie Genin [b]Personality[/b]: Kazuko is quite the free spirit of Konoha. He is care free and lives like to its fullest, not taking every little thing seriously. He is very playful and loves to run around and be active with friends and family. He gets along with most people, but there are those few that he just can't stand, the ones who brag and think that they're better than everyone else. Kazuko is bright, but doesn't always use his head cause, well, he says he forgets too. When battling he becomes more serious, but his playful side still pops up. He's always trying to make friends with the shy people and cheer up those who are feeling blue. Over all he is a cheery boy who can be alot of fun or not so much fun, it depends on what kind of person you are. [b]Equipment[/b]: Like the average ninja, Kazuko wears a shuriken holister on his thigh which contains about 12 - 15 shuriken. Next to the shuriken holder is his kunai holister that holds from 1 to 5 kunais. He keeps more of these hidden in his jacket in case he runs out. On his right hand he wears a glove with claws on the tips (he calls it a rouga). When he doesn't want to use the claws he latches them backwards under loops. He also has a hooked chain that he keeps in the pouch on his belt. The pouch also holds exploding notes and soldier pills. [b]Main Weapon/Technique[/b]: Rouga: The clawed glove, he's been working on a jutsu for it, but is still having trouble getting it to work. Fuuga (Rouga Jutsu): Chakra is concetrated on the tips of the fingers and can cause a deadly slice. Still not master. Kenkaze: A Ninjutsu technique where the ninja creates a whirlwind blade around their opponent with their chakra. It slices through them easily. Of course, Kazuko is not at that stage yet. He can only cause deep scratches and usually he uses this jutsu to trap an opponent. Kazuko likes to use a combination of jutsu when attacking. He usually likes to come up with sneeky traps and plans for defeating his opponant, but he also is skilled in taijutsu well and uses it alot too. His genjutsu is very poor, he doesn't know much about it at all. [b]Biography/Writing Sample[/b]: Kazuko sat on a low lying limb of the large tree that stood before his familie's house. They lived on the outskirts of Konoha, near the woods where is wasn't so loud from the hustle and bustle of the village. A cool breeze blew and a little boy ran up to the base of the tree, his hair was red like Kazuko's. "Brother, what are you doing, shouldn't you be at the academy?" He asked, raising an eyebrow at his big brother. Kazuko leaned over and gave him a big grin, "Oi, Kazen. I'm graduating tomorrow, I don't need to go to the acedemy today, they don't have anything else to teach me!" Kazuko said cooly, leaning back against the tree trunk. "Asides, shouldn't you be there too?" Kazen's face turned a crimson red and he marched off down the dirt path that led to the larger part of the village where the academy was. Kazuko knew he was setting a bad example to his little brother, but it did seem rather pointless to go to class today. After the final exam he would become a Genin and leave the days of an academy student. Missing one day wouldn't destroy his chances. Though, he couldn't help wondering what Dad would say. When Kazuko was only three his father had been killed when invaders from another country attacked. Kazuko was the oldest and was now "The man of the family." His mom had just given birth to Kazen and Kurachi (twins), so life when he was little wasn't normal. Kazuko thought about his father until he drifted into sleep. "Oi, Kazuko-kun!" Kazuko was started and fell from the limb and landed with a thud on the ground 5 feet below. He rubbed his aching head as he looked up to see his best friend, Hart. "Where were you today?" Hart exclaimed, giving his friend a hand back to his feet. Kazuko scowled at Hart while brushing dirt from orange shirt, "I didn't see much of a point in going today." Hart and Kazuko had been friends ever sense they were four. The trained together, went to school together, and best of all, pulled pranks on Yamanaka-Sensei together. Well, it was mostly Kazuko who pulled them. Hart didn't like to show his immaturity to the girls. The way Kazuko saw it though was that they only had a certain amount of time to be kids, so they might as well enjoy it. "That stupid Hyuuga kid was flirting with Mei again..." Hart grumbled under his breath. They both exchanged annoyed looks and Kazuko grumbled some rude words beneath his breath. The two friends walked for a while through the woods till they came to a clearing where a shrine to the KIA (Killed in action) stood along with three wooden columns. This was there favorite spot to train and talk about things that boys talked about (girls). They had never figured out why the colomns were there, but Kazuko had a strange feeling he would find out soon enough. Kazuko, for some reason didn't feel like training. After he graduated a large portion of his life would be training. The red haired boy layed down in the grass and started to day dream of what he would be like when he was a powerful ninja. [b]Extra Notes[/b]: * Kazuko wants to prove to ninjas (mostly those with a bloodline trait) that you don't have to have to be part of a special clan or have a special ability to be an amazing ninja. Somehow, he's going to prove this to them. * Best friends with Hart and good friends with Mei * Admires The Copy Ninja Kakashi and Uzumaki Naruto. * feels rivalry toward Junko and other blood line users.[/size][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ezekiel Posted January 27, 2006 Author Share Posted January 27, 2006 [SIZE=1][B]Name: [/B] Kagami Imi ?Katsuo? [B]Age:[/B] 12 [B]Gender:[/B] Female [B]Appearance:[/B] [URL= http://www.deviantart.com/view/28242805/]Imi[/URL] [B]Rank:[/B] Rookie Genin [B]Personality: [/B] Imi is a girl who acts like she?s on a mission simply to give herself purpose. When training, she is fierce and serious and, on top of that, highly competitive. She can be hot-headed, but can also be as cold as ice, depending on what kind of an opponent she faces. In the situation where she is against someone she has never met before or is against someone she dislikes, Imi will appear to be calm and aloof, but amongst friends, she can be cocky and brash. Imi earned her nickname, Katsuo, when she was much younger. Despite the fact it is a boys name, it?s one her best friend of six years, Junko Hyuuga gave to her. It means ?victorious child? and was bestowed upon Imi because of the way she used to celebrate her victory in the same dramatic way every time, even if she only won by a fraction. That?s the kind of person she is, in a nutshell; A win is to be celebrated, a loss means you?re not trying hard enough. [B]Equipment:[/B] Imi carries a kunai holder on her right thigh, with three kunai held in it. On the front of her belt she holds small explosives, which don?t really damage opponents, but will scorch and provide an excellent distraction. She also carries needles on the back of her belt, though her aim needs a little work. She will, if given the chance, make use of large, hand-held Shuriken, but she doesn?t carry any with her if she can help it. Imi also carries a long length of strong wire next to her needles. [B]Main Weapon/Technique:[/B] Imi has, through personal training and with the help of Suzuhara Koda, mastered using nunchucks, which she has strapped to her back at all times. These nunchucks are unique, largely because they were designed especially for Imi and for easy carrying. They are in two parts, with one end fashioned so that it screws into the other. Once secured, the two separate parts can be pulled aprt and a chain will be pulled out between them. They are lightly but highly durable, and Imi uses them in a most artistic way. She is also secretly trying to develop a Jutsu that her mother only briefly mentioned. Imi does not yet know how to use it, and despite her best efforts fails every time. She hopes that, once she?s an official Genin, that her Jounin will be able to teach her this Jutsu. [B]Biography/Writing Sample:[/B] Imi lay on her roof as the early morning sun beat down on the village of Konoha. She sighed as the warmth spread over her cheeks and chewed slowly on a straw, glad that Graduation was coming soon. She couldn?t wait to get into some real fights?even if Yamanaka-sensei insisted that the Rookies would only be on simple missions. Imi grunted at the thought, knowing, at least in her mind, that she was far more capable of taking on some enemies, even some A ranked missions! She punched the air without much enthusiasm, as if it was something that had to be done, then went back to relaxing. Before a stone hit her square between the eyes. [B]?Nande?!?[/B] she yelled, jerking up and almost losing her balance. [B]?Who??[/B] [B]?Ohayo, Katsuo-chan!?[/B] Junko called, grinning up at his friend as he shielded his eyes. Keiji was next to him, also smiling a little. [B]?Mornin?, Imi.?[/B] He said politely, nodding as he finished his greeting. Imi grumbled and slid off the roof, landing in front of Junko before flicking him in the ear. [B]?I was trying to nap.?[/B] She snarled before shoving her hands in her pockets and turning her nose up, stalking down the street with the two boys in tow. Junko laughed to himself and stretched as he walked, Keiji sighing and shaking his head. [B]?So, you guys?any plans for today??[/B] Imi asked, wandering over to a stall in search of a snack. [B]?Well, the sun?s out nice and bright today??[/B] Keiji began. [B]?And we were wondering if you?d like to come training with us??[/B] Imi shrugged and turned to face her friends, an apple now in hand. [B]?Sure, why not? We may end up being thrown together after graduation anyway.?[/B] Both boys nodded, knowing that between the three of them, their strengths would equal out perfectly. Junko and Imi had been training together for years, and recently Keiji had joined to make a trio. Occasionally, when there wasn?t any studying to be done, the three of them spent a day ?play-fighting?, and had discovered that their skills complimented each other quite well. Then there were the rivals they seemed to have created over their time in the Academy, and on more than one occasion, Ginmaru and Imi had to be separated by force. All in good fun, they insisted, of course, as they held their bleeding lips and noses. Imi gazed at the sky as the three kids walked to the forest near to the Academy, thinking, as always, of the mystery of her father and his whereabouts. Her mother looked after her alone and never spoke of her father, except that it wasn?t something Imi should worry about. The young girl, however, couldn?t help but wonder where this strange new Technique had come from? [B]Extra Notes:[/B] -Imi knows nothing of her father and probably bonded with Junko because of this. -She occasionally slips away from her friends to train, but only manages to drain her Chakra without doing much at all. This frustrates her, and if anyone accuses her of being weak because she fails at performing simple Jutsu, she quickly snaps and usually has to be held back by Junko. -Considers Ginmaru her rival when in battle, but has a dislike for Mei for reasons she prefers not to disclose. It's a girl thing, apparently. [U]I should have added this right at the start, stupid me:[/U] [SIZE=1][COLOR=Red][B]No one is permitted to be an Uchiha. This is because we know from the anime that the clan was wiped out, leaving only Sasuke and his brother. If you want to have the Uchiha name, choose to be Sasuke as I'd love to have him as a Jounin in this. Sorry for the mix-up[/B][/COLOR].[/SIZE][/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 [Font=Arial][B]Name:[/B] Hyuuga Junko [B]Age:[/B] 12 [B]Gender:[/B] Male [B]Appearance:[/B] [URL=http://www.shadow-dragons.com/characters/kiba.jpg]Here[/URL] Junko usually wears a pair of dark green shorts and a matching shirt. He also wears his protector as a belt, to keep it clean and to protect a secret. A very deep and disturbing secret that not even Katsuo knows. [B]Rank:[/B] Rookie Genin [B]Personality:[/B] Junko is a very subtle young man. Although known for speaking his mind, he does not do so in any ordinary situation. His opinions are strong ones that not everyone likes to hear. So in a way, Junko?s a very blunt person. He?s also been known to converse with very few people. Imi, who he affectionately nicknamed Katsuo is probably the only person he honestly can talk to. This probably comes from her headstrongness, which only seems to feed into Junko?s ego even more. Around Katsuo Junko feels like he can talk about whatever he wants without really insulting someone. Most people seem to think that Junto is a total jerk, but he really just stays by the opinions he creates about people. That?s one thing Junto?ll never change about himself. [B]Equipment: [/B] Like every good ninja, Junko keeps a kunai holder, although his sits on his shorts. He really does not have much need for them though, because once he gets started with his Byakugan, it?s all about his hands. He also carries a belt with a pouch of smoke bombs and soldier pills, for when he needs to get away quickly. [B]Main Weapon/Technique: [/B] Being a Hyuuga means, Junko?s main talent is his Byakugan. In easy words, when activated, it increases his vision abilities, giving him 360-degree sight with his only blind spot being right behind his thoracic vertebra. He can also detect anything with a 50-foot radius around him. The most deadly part of the Byakugan is when it combines with charka. It allows Junko to see his opponent ?inner coil? and allows for his most deadly technique, ?Gentle Fist?. With his Uncle Neji and Aunt Hinata, he has concentrated on perfecting his juken (Gentle Fist). At the moment, it?s fairly deadly, although he hasn?t achieved the station that his Uncle was at, at his age. The ?Gentle Fist? technique can shut off an opponent?s charka flow when it strikes the appropriate place on the body. This is where the Byakugan comes in handy. It allows Junko to see exactly where he needs to strike. He can also create a very weak Hakkesho Kaiten (Eight Trigram Palms Heavenly Spin) which creates a shield around him using his chakra. He has not mastered it either, although he hopes to soon. [B]Biography/Writing Sample:[/B] Junko was born a bastard. Conceived in one night under pretenses he still to this day doesn?t understand, he was left fatherless with his mother. Although his sister was gone, Junko always had someone to look up to and strive to be like. His mother wanted Junko, the first boy born from her womb, to grow up into something. His training started as soon as he showed his skills with the Byakhugan at the age of three. First, he was sent to a teacher to learn, but he quickly surpassed what the idiot had to teach him and by age five, he was training with Hinata. The training with Hinata lasted for four years, inbetween, Junko began school and met his first and only friend, Imi. They met normally in class and immediately felt the tug of friendship. It was not until Junko got into his first fight at school that he truly saw how helpful Imi was. Junko had told a couple of the soon to graduate kids what he really thought about them and was then jumped upon for it. Junko, how had barely began to learn anything at the time, could only swing at his attackers with his kunai, which didn?t do a whole lot. Imi, who came upon the fight, tried to step in, using her kunai more effectively than Junko. The fight was then more spread out as it became more evened out, with both of the kids taking on the same number of older ones. It would have ended a lot bloodier, had Iruka-sama not stepped in and ended it. All of them were punished, but Junko and Imi could only celebrate their little victory. It was then that Junko bestowed upon Imi her nickname Katsuo ?victorius child?. Hinata who scolded Junko severely and doubled his training did not view it as a victory. Her view on it was that Junko should have been able to take at least one of them with a well-placed Fist before they all fell upon him. Junko slowly began to improve, finally reaching the point where he could challenge Hinata in combat and come close to winning. That was when he was ten. It was then decided that Neji would need to be called back to train Junko even further. That was the point Junko would never forget. Neji?s incredible skill brought Junko to work harder than he ever had in his entire life. Watching his uncle let loose with his Hakke Hyaku Nijuha Sho (Eight Trigrams On Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms) was inspiration enough for Junko to keep going. Which he did, until the day of his graduation, which is only a few hours away. With the test passed and his training looming on the horizon, Junko has a very hard path ahead of him.

Retribution Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 [size=1][b]Name:[/b] Miyamoto Keiji [b]Age:[/b] 12 [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Appearance:[/b] [url=http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y170/retri_trib/keijicrop.jpg][1][/url] [url=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/mechinfinity/keiji.jpg][2][/url] With calming brown eyes and a cute face to match, Keiji is easy on the eyes and a pleasure to look at. His brown hair is worn long, solely because he likes it like that. He stands at average height, has a toned build, and has particularly nimble fingers, partially due to the training he has done with scrolls and hand positioning. Keiji wears a navy-blue outfit, consisting of both long-sleeves and pants. These are relatively close fitting, as far as boys apparel goes, as the extra flourish in baggy clothes are not combat efficient. [b]Rank:[/b] Rookie Genin [b]Personality:[/b] Keiji is a moderate boy, lacking any real strong emotions and extreme reactions to most situations. The only real mentionable trait of him would be his determination and devotion to a cause ? be it building a sand castle, making a friend, or completing a mission, he devotes all his time and effort towards the completion of the task. Many have commented that such a one-track mind is unhealthy, that everything is good in moderation, but to him, pursuing his passions (or obsessions, depending on who you ask) is something he places first and foremost. [b]Equipment:[/b] Keiji is equipped with five kunai and two smokeballs, both of which are shrewdly employed in battle. His most important weapons, however, are his jutsu scrolls, which he stores on his hip (hooked to his belt) for quick access. As most of Keiji?s fighting centers around his chakra and use of scrolls, he finds these weapons most valuable. He finds that keeping his weaponry to a minimum allows for him to fight more effectively and respond to given situations with more speed due to the lack of bulk. [b]Main Weapon/Technique:[/b] Keiji is highly advanced in the arts of chakra manipulation and scroll utilization. His technique consists of attack redirection ? both physical and jutsu ? he is relatively weak in all other areas, and so he can only effectively fight by using his opponents techniques against them. Channeling his chakra into his scroll, he performs a jutsu that creates an invisible barrier in front of him, which counters and redirects jutsu used against him. When up against physical fighers, however, he uses jutsu to gain the upper hand in battle. Using his mind and chakra to his advantage, Keiji is a creative boy, always attacking a problem from more than one angle. [b]Biography/Writing Sample:[/b] ?You look like a girl,? they sneered, ?and you probably punch like one too.? A child tugged the boy?s hair, laughing in delight at his pain. Keiji hated them ? he felt the feeling rise in his chest. He was outnumbered five to one, and would probably lose in a fight. He fought down the tears, choosing to walk away instead. ?And where the [I]hell[/I] are you going? Get back here, ******!? The children moved to tug his hair once more. Keiji broke into a sprint, trying to evade his pursuers, who closely followed. He thought of the jutsu scroll he learned to use in class that day, how it could save him. He had been the best in class at utilizing them, coming up with several variations to the jutsu they had been taught. A kick landed squarely on his neck ? he fell onto the ground, sliding a few feet before his body came to a halt. It was automatic at that point ? the adrenaline built up in his veins, begging to be used. He arm opened up the scroll, his hands made a series of complex gestures which he had learned in class during that week ? the art of fire, gravity, and wind. He had been instructed not to combine jutsu at this point, as he would only hurt himself, but he had no choice. With hate in Keiji?s eyes, he screamed, triggering wind to swirl around his opponents. They attempted to evade it with their speed, but failed beautifully. They collided with one another, falling into a heap. The heap rose as they lost their weight, and the wind swirling around them became a searing flame. He had the strength to keep up the assault for four seconds, but it was enough to win the fight. ?Do you want anything else?!? He screamed, his body still pulsing from the adrenaline and his mind still racing from his expenditure of chakra. The boys were crying, nursing their wounds, yelling for help. A slow guilt crept into his chest ? at first, negligible, but then overwhelming and painful. He ran away from them, hoping to find Imi ? someone who wouldn?t pull his hair just for being long. He ran away from them, wondering why they hated his difference, why their sadism was directed at him, why they gave him no rest. All he wanted was to be ?one of the guys,? to be invited to their training sessions, to be invited to hang out with them and talk about girls, to be [I]accepted[/I]. He hated them. [b]Extra Notes:[/b] Keiji doesn?t get along too well with his male counterparts, and as a result, is only friends with Imi and Mei.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lionheart Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 [SIZE=1]OOC: mmm, I'll take a crack at this. [B]Name:[/B] Kenta Akira [B]Age: [/B] 12 [B]Gender:[/B] male [B]Appearance:[/B] [B][URL=http://www.khmaniacs.com/imagenes/fanart/sora_khm_2.jpg]here[/URL][/B] is a pic [B]Rank:[/B] Rookie Genin [B]Personality: [/B] Akira will do anything to get the job done on a mission. Though, most of the time, he tends to have a good time and joke around. When it comes to smarts, he's average at best. Of course, every ninja has a weakness, though Akira's might be the worst. At times, he can be alittle soft-hearted. He shows mercy to even the worst enemies. He always have a spot in his mind saying, 'They can change. They can be good.' His training is very important to him. He takes it seriously, making it his second nature, next to breathing. He sometimes over-trains, going on hours and hours a day. Akira has a slim body, that doesn't match his stomach. He can eat a ton at a time and can eat anything. If he doesn't get food, he becomes weak and often begs. You may call that another weakness. [B]Equipment: [/B] Of course, Akira carries a kunai holder on his right thigh, with four kunai in it. Once in a while, if he remembers to pack them, exploding notes. They came in handy in the past for him. His main weapon is the Fuuma Shuriken. This weapon is very large, and contains four curved blades, as opposed to regular shuriken, which contains five straight points. This weapon is very deadly, and made with a high aerodynamicy. It is also very thin and has large, curved, flat blades that rotate on an axis so that it can be used as just one blade, or they can be spread out into a + shape and thrown. [B]Main Weapon/Technique: [/B] The Sharingan, literally Copy Wheel Eye, is a very special condition of the eye. Most notably the Sharingan's most well known ability is to be able to memorize any technique that it has been a witness to including nijutsu, genjutsu and taijutsu techniques. Other abilities of this very special eye include hypnosis, allowing it's user to suggest actions and thoughts to the opponent. The Sharingan also has the very useful ability to see through any illusionary technique. Just like the Byakugan, the Sharingan also has one main weakness, while it is not a blind spot as the Byakugan has, this weakness could be more physically dangerous. When used for an extended period of time, in some cases, it drains the chakra of the user quite quickly. Any user of the Sharingan must have a good amount of chakra and stamina in order to successfully copy a technique, however, no amount of chakra will allow it's user to copy the abilities of another clans exclusive bloodline abilities, or allow him to summon a creature with whom he has not made a contract with. Along with all these, the worst opponent a Sharingan user could ever come up against is one who specializes in taijutsu such as Rock Lee. Because no hand seals involving chakra are required for taijutsu they can not easily be copied unless the user has extraordinary amounts of strength, agility, and stamina to keep up with the swift moves of a taijutsu user. A lot of people often think how Akira had gotten the Sharingan if he wasn't a member of the Uchiha clan. Of course, he is a non-user, which someone had to implanted them into Akira. Yet, he has no memory of this. Maybe as he grows older, he will find out what exactly happened. Akira is mainly good at Ninjutsu, because of his Sharingan. He hasn't fought alot of ninjas, but does have a large range of techniques. All though not used as much, he is still balanced in the arts of GenJutsu. Out of the three, TaiJutsu is his weakest link. Of course, training for days on end, you would think he would master all the areas. At his best, he is average to the normal ninja, or alittle more higher. Going against someone like Rock Lee, he would be no match unless he uses his Sharingan. If Akira did use his famous technique, He would put up a good match, but fall short at the end. His knowledge over weapons is okay. He stays with basic weapons and items in a fight. The only weapon he does use alot is his Fuuma Shuriken. He tries to fake his enemies out as much as possible, then strike from the sky. [B]Biography/Writing Sample: [/B] Kenta Akira, age 11 The rain gently pounded the large tree. The sounds echoed through the ears of Kenta Akira. He stared into space as he rested against the tree. He kept his arms inside his shirt, trying his best to keep warm. His stomach gave a low growl as Akira closed his eyes. What was he doing here? Why can he remember a damn thing? His belly moaned again as Akira got up. He had to eat something. The rain danced on his shoulders as he randomly walked through the forest. He stopped instantly as he sniffed once. The smell was unbelievable. He sniffed again to get a better direction of where it was coming from. He turned to his left and ran from tree to tree. He stopped and got down low as he saw smoke ahead. He crawled through the wet grass as the smell was now making him insane. Beyond a bush in front of him, was the source of the smell. Meat. It was laying over a hot flaming fire. Without even thinking, he jumped out and reached for the meat. Like a savage animal, he began to eat the juicy meat. The taste made him water his mouth instantly. As he enjoyed his food, a twig snapped. He twist around to see a elbow right into his face. The impact sent him flying to the ground. [B]"Someone was eating our food, boss."[/B] A rough voice said behind him as suddenly, Akira was surrounded. His stomach had got the best of him. The ninjas around him argued on how to punish him. Footsteps came from his right as the group became very quiet. A shadow stood over Akira, has he dared not to look up. He pulled back his foot and slammed in into his gut. Blood flew out of Akira's mouth as he fell to the ground, holding his gut tightly. [B] "Kill him..."[/B] The boss whispered as the men roared in excitement. Akira forced himself up, he should have stayed down. Someone from the group appeared and slammed a jab into his face. The group of ninjas unload on him, giving him vicious beats to the face and upper body. Yet, something deep inside made Akira get back up. This time though, the bossman entered the arena of the fight. The outlaw pulled out a katana from his belt as he stared at Akira. He thrust his blade into Akira's shoulder. It would have hit his center of his chest if he hadn't dodge that very last second. Blood poured down his right shoulder as he fell completely on the ground. He felt himself fading from this world. He lost his feeling in his fingers as he closed his eyes. In total darkness, a burst of anger and sorrow released. He opened his eyes, this time completely different. His eyes, they all saw his eyes. His left one had two tiers and the right only had one. Akira grinding his teeth together, all he wanted was food. The bossman saw this and quicky attacked by throwing away his katana and thrusting his hands into the ground. [B]"Doton: Kekkai Doroutoumu!!" [/B] A wall of pure rock and dirt surrounded Akira, making a dome. The crowd roared as the outlaw looked up, smiling. [B] "No one can survive the bossman's strongest Technique!!"[/B] The rain that was flowing gently on them, disappeared as the crowd of ninjas stood in shock. The outlaw boss looked down at his gut and saw a katana blade through him. blood streaming down the blade as he smiled the last time before falling to the ground. Akira stood over him, his eyes staring at what was his enemy. The crowd roared in fear as they ran away. Did he just kill someone? He did. He didn't even let out a moan, but tears slowly flowed down his cheeks as the sun shined through the clouds. [B]Extra Notes:[/B] As at the present moment, Akira has two tiers in both eyes.[/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onix Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 [COLOR=SlateGray][SIZE=1][B]Name:[/B] Zensei Ginmaru [B]Age:[/B] 12 [B]Gender:[/B] Male [B]Appearance:[/B] Ginmaru dresses in a relatively functional style, preserving the ninja ideals of stealth and darkness without losing precious style in the process. He wears a mask to conceal the lower half of his face, leaving only his pale blue eyes exposed, which are often covered by his lengthy silver bands. He keeps to the usual ninja style with a mesh undershirt and simple black, loose pants that aren't so baggy as they catch on any foliage or whatnot. Over this he has a black trenchcoat, and keeps his hands covered with black fingerless gloves. His body is covered in scars, from missions and brutal training sessions with his father, that mar his pale complexion. In addition, there is a strange jet black tattoo across his right arm, baring the Kanji 'Kin', Forbidden, in the center, surrounded by organic looking lines and spirals. [B]Rank:[/B] Rookie Genin [B]Personality:[/B] When one first looks at Ginmaru, they expect him to be a subdued, dangerous person, dark and quiet with hidden strength and intelligence. However, this is not Ginmaru. He is an extrovert, and a cocky one at that, claiming power simply because he is the smartest, strongest, and coolest in his own eyes, things that he is always willing to prove in battle, especially against his "arch-rival," Katsuo. The thing is, though, he is not one to over-compensate with his boasting - he can back it up. Still, he has a tendency to be, if only slightly, over-confidant in his abilities, which leads him to get into tougher scrapes than he might initially estimate. He never backs down, though, and is consistently determined to prove himself the best swordsman, the best ninja, and the best Zensei. [B]Equipment:[/B] Being a member of the Zensei family, Ginmaru has been trained near since birth in the art of the sword. His weapon of choice is the katana he keeps strapped to his back, hardly a stealthy weapon but one that proves deadly efficient in the proper (re. his) hands. As back up, he keeps a few kunai and senbon hidden within the inner pockets of his coat. [B]Main Weapon/Technique:[/B] Ginmaru has two techniques, both tied directly to his sword, that give him an edge in combat. The first is a simple chakra manipulation trick that allows him to extend and sharpen the blade of his katana by pumping chakra into it, giving him a deceptive range and better cutting ability. But this is hardly his strongest technique; he has something much more dangerous up his sleeve, almost literally. The tattoo he bears on his arm is a focus for a secret kinjutsu handed down among the Zensei swordsmen, Kingatana (Forbidden Sword). He has attained the first half of this technique, the Shussan (Birth). When activated, it gives him an explosive burst of chakra focused on his sword arm that causes metal to materialize around it, forming a twisted armor coating. In addition, he can fling waves of chakra, increase the size of his blade two-fold, and his strength increases. However, the Kingatana puts an amazing strain on the body, and he can use it for no more than five minutes before his arm starts to self-destruct under the pressure. [B]Biography/Writing Sample:[/B] Ginmaru dropped to the wooden floor hard, a bolt of pain arcing up from his knee like the electrical current it was. His breath came in ragged gasps, tearing at his throat like a pack of wolves, and his sweat felt like acid in his eyes. He tilted his head up, peering out from behind the curtain of his hair at his father, standing tall and impassive like a statue. The stormy gray eyes that met his burned with near-hatred. [B]"Get up,"[/B] Zensei Shinzaburo growled, his voice as hard and sharp as the katana he held. Blood glistened on its edge, the blood that leaked from Ginmaru's shoulder. [B]"F-Father,"[/B] Ginmaru began to stammer. His eyes burned again, this time from the salty tears. He was too old to cry, his father had impressed that quite firmly. After all, he was already eight. Far too old to cry. [B]"I...I can't go on."[/B] [B]"You will go on until I say you can stop, Ginmaru. Get up."[/B] The boy gritted his teeth and brushed back his hair with his free hand. The one wrapped tightly around his sword - even now, he would not let it go - was already throbbing, and he knew that he would have blisters the coming morning. But he stood on sturdy legs and raised his blade again. Father would not let him stop until they both bled. [B]"Come."[/B] Ginmaru leapt forward, his sword a glittering arc in the high noon sun. Shinzaburo dodged to the side almost effortlessly, but Ginmaru felt cold satisfaction at the few gray hairs that wafted to the ground. It cost him, though, the price being a sharp kick to the ribs. He staggered back, his breathes even harsher now. But he couldn't stop. Not until father bled. He would fight the pain, and the dull blackness if it threatened his mind from the corner of his eyes. To many times that blackness had claimed him, too many times he had awoken to feel the sting of father's words and his bokutoh. [B]"You still leave yourself open, Ginmaru. Do not swing so wildly. Be sharp, and be fluid. Like water, not wind."[/B] [B]"Yes, father."[/B] Another cut, this one more restrained. Ginmaru kept his arms tucked close to his chest, and the tip of his katana glanced upon father's blade. It was progress. The elder pushed his weapon forward, but Ginmaru sidestepped, and swung the hard, dull edge of his sword down on his father's wrists. Without waiting for the reaction, Ginmaru pushed his sword up in another arc, and it came down on Shinzaburo's shoulder. Blood sprayed forth, his hot crimson victory. Father pulled back roughly, his face barely portraying the pain he surely must be feeling. He sighed and lowered his blade. [B]"You have wounded me. Better than I expected of you."[/B] [B]"Thank you, father,"[/B] Ginmaru said softly, knowing that was the closest he would ever get to a compliment. [B]"I believe it is time, Ginmaru. You can handle the Shussan."[/B] Ginmaru swallowed hard, and looked up at his father in a mixture of pride and fear. [B]"The Shussan? Already?"[/B] [B]"You have to grow up some time, Ginmaru. You are old enough to cut me deep, old enough not to cry. You are old enough to truly be born."[/B] There was a pause, and Ginmaru steeled his resolve. [B]"Thank you, father."[/B] He would use this power. It would make him strong, aid him in his goals. And he would kill his father. [B]Extra Notes[/B]: Bring up the subject of Ginmaru's father around him, and you will have to collect your own legs.[/SIZE][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakura Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 [B]OOC:[/B] I made my decision to be Sasuke, hope everything's in order. [B]EDIT:[/B] Completed , may edit the Sample if I can think of something better. [COLOR=Navy][B]Name:[/B] Uchiha Sasuke [B]Age:[/B] 28 [B]Gender:[/B] Male [B]Appearance:[/B] [B][URL=http://img61.imageshack.us/img61/8227/sasukeandnaruto5vx.jpg]Sasuke[/URL][/B], even at 28, Sasuke still wears a top as he did when he was younger. He's thrown away the arm bands and his shorts, replacing them with [B][URL=http://www.narutofan.com/_content-images/handprotectors.jpg]metal plated gloves[/URL][/B], worn by many Chuunin and Jounin, and slightly baggy black pants. [B]Rank:[/B] Jounin [B]Personality:[/B] Sasuke has changed quite a bit from when he was younger, he isn't quite as cold as he used to be, though still quite arrogant and conceited. He is still popular in Konoha, both from being extremely smart when younger, and because of when he ran away from the Hidden Village in search of power. Sasuke still remains quiet, not bothering to talk to people if he knows it's not worth his time or effort. He still isn't very social, but he's made friends with all the others that he knew when younger, like Naruto, Sakura, Rock Lee, Gaara, Shikamaru, Ino, Chouji, Kiba, etc. He's one of the more powerful Jounin and he carries that power confidently. He isn't afraid to humiliate anyone if they make a mistake because he knows that in a proper situation, it could cost them their life and the lives of their team. Sasuke prefers to take charge of situations rather than take orders because he feels that he knows a lot better than others, especially with help from his Sharingan. Whenever he's given a mission, he gets it done no matter what, he prides himself in being a reliable Jounin and the jobs are done properly and on time. [B]Equipment:[/B] As a Jounin, Sasuke carries all the different holders needed for different kinds of equipment. His [B][URL=http://www.narutofan.com/_content-images/bombholster.jpg]holster[/URL][/B] is on the back of his belt on the left side for easy access, he carries a few bombs, some soldier pills, a reel of invisible string, exploding notes, and a small bunch of throwing kunai with three regular kunai stabbed in his belt. Sasuke's [B][URL=http://www.narutofan.com/_content-images/shurikenholster.jpg]shuriken holster[/URL][/B] is strapped to his right thigh and he carries two fuuma shuriken slipped in between the binding and his leg. Finally he has his [B][URL=http://www.narutofan.com/_content-images/scrollholster.jpg]scroll pouch[/URL][/B] on the back of his belt, but on the right side so he can simply flick the carriers open to extract a scroll, he carries three jutsu scrolls, and fills the other compartments with missions and maps. [B]Main Weapon/Technique:[/B] As the last remaining member of the Uchiha Clan, Sasuke is the final natural user of the powerful eye condition known as Sharingan, and it is his most utilised ability. Most notably the Sharingan's most well known ability is to be able to memorize any technique that it has seen including nijutsu, genjutsu and taijutsu techniques. Other abilities of this very special eye include hypnosis, allowing it's user to suggest actions and thoughts to the opponent. The Sharingan also has the very useful ability to see through any illusionary technique. Now that he's an adult, Sasuke has gotten full use of all the skills of Sharingan, having all three dots in both eyes, but he hasn't brought himself to use the ability of Mangekyou Sharingan, seeing as he would have to kill his best friend. As for his ninjutsu, Sasuke mainly uses the line of Katon jutsus passed down through the Uchiha line, being able to do all of them without exhausting all of his chakra. He uses other techniques that he's copied from others with Sharingan, along with his original taijutsu combinations like ShiShi Rendan, and techniques he was taught throughout all his years like Chidori. Sasuke's secret weapon is the Cursed Seal that still remains on the nape of his neck, he has learnt how to control it properly and will only use it in dire situations, otherwise it remains dormant as a tattoo on his body. Sasuke's weapon of choice is a [B][URL=http://img79.imageshack.us/img79/8250/katana3py.jpg]katana[/URL][/B] (the blade's slightly longer) that's just tied to his belt with dark navy blue wrapping, with a matching sheath. The tsuba has three comma like dots cut into it, spread around it evenly just like his Sharingan eyes, and the Cursed Seal is stamped deeply into the bottom of the weapon, inked a dark black colour. He proudly displays the symbol of Konoha engraved on the metal just above the tsuba. [B]Biography/Writing Sample:[/B] Sasuke was lying lazily in an empty field, his hands were folded beneath his head easily and his long legs stretched out comfortably. He didn't have to go on a mission until later so he was taking some much needed time to rest. Sasuke was a light sleeper and was awoken at the sound of the grass rustling as someone stepped heavily, coming in his direction. He opened his eyes, they were blood red with three red comma looking dots spread around the pupils. He rolled his eyes and stifled a yawn as he blinked, the red colour was gone and his eyes were a deep, endless black. [B]"Sasuke!"[/B] an annoying voice called loudly. [B]"Nani?"[/B] he groaned, sitting up. A grinning face with spiky blonde hair walked up to him, he was 28 too, but Uzumaki Naruto refused to give up his bright orange jumpsuit, even though the style of it had changed since they were younger. [B]"Hokage-sama told me to find you, it's time to go."[/B] Naruto said, holding out his hand to him. Sasuke looked up at the sun, so it was. He clasped the hand and pulled down heavily, making Naruto fall forward as he got up. He smirked as the blonde started to shout loudly at him for making him fall over. The two men returned to the village and saw the Academy students running about during their break. They swarmed the two of them quickly, wanting to wear their forehead protectors and wanting them to teach them techniques. Sasuke smiled at them but kept going, they had to get going. He was walking when he noticed the bright blonde wasn't with him. [B]"Naruto, hayaku!"[/B] Sasuke called. Naruto laughed and said goodbye, running to catch up, he rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. The other man rolled his eyes yet again as they walked through the village, exiting Konoha, their destination was the Country of Wave. [B]Extra Notes:[/B] Sasuke killed his older brother Itachi, leaving him as the sole member of the elite Uchiha Clan.[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezekiel Posted January 28, 2006 Author Share Posted January 28, 2006 [SIZE=1]I'm incredibly surprised at how quickly these sign ups have come in, and so many good ones! I just thought I'd let you all know that I've spoken to a few members regarding Sharingan, as a couple of you wanted it. I know there's been a mix up and I'm sorry, but you should know that I may not accept everyone for this. Therefore choosing Sharingan may go against you. (Lionheart, I know you spoke to me about this, so you don't have to change your sign up if you don't wish to) [U]My plan is thus-[/U] I'll leave sign ups open for a few more days if anyone else wants to join, so in this time I'd appreciate it if sign-ups could be completed. I wanted at least three Cells, but it doesn't mean that I'll automatically accept nine people. This could work with only two people to each cell, with those two members writing in their third member. I'm very willing to do this to preserve quality. [COLOR=Red]I may ask for help regarding Jounin. If your Genin isn't involved in a mission, I may ask for you to play as one of the original Naruto characters. You won't have to create a new sign-up or anything, though, I just assumed more people would want to be Jounin, and now we're lacking in them. Please indicate in your sign up if you're willign to play as a Jounin. It would be very much appreciated. *bows*[/COLOR] I'm really enjoying the character relationships already forming in this, so keep that up. [B]To Retri:[/B] I hope you don't mind my using Keiji, he seems like he'd make a good third friend, if you see what I mean. (I know you said he doesn't really get on with males, so if you want me to change this, just say the word)[/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakura Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 [B]OOC:[/B] With permission from Ezekiel, here's my second character. Though technically it's my first character. [B]EDIT:[/B] It's complete, I changed my whole Personality, and re-did the Character Sample, but I may still make some changes. [COLOR=Navy][B]Name:[/B] Takeuchi Meiko (With permission people are allowed to call her "Mei") [B]Age:[/B] 12 [B]Gender:[/B] Female [B]Appearance:[/B] [URL=http://img91.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ai9yl.jpg]Here[/URL]. Her outfit is made of slightly baggy black pants, with a black, sleeveless top that clings to her frame. In place of the goggles she proudly wears a Konoha forehead protector and has wrist length [URL=http://www.narutofan.com/_content-images/handprotectors.jpg]metal plated gloves[/URL], the same as the kind that Chuunin and Jounin wear. [B]Rank:[/B] Rookie Genin [B]Personality:[/B] Meiko is a smart girl and everyone knows it, everyone thinks that she's a quiet, shy little Genin, preferring to keep to herself and stay away from large gatherings of people, but she isn't that's just what she puts on for people that don't know her, because she wants people to get to know her for wanting to know her, because if they do, they'll see she's completely different. She can work with other quite easily as long as they don't slack off and pull their own weight. She has a very analytical mind and can think quickly in a pressured situation where they have to act fast. She rarely raises her voice unless she feels there's danger so she can warn others, or to shout discipline at someone after being annoyed at their actions, but she's generally cool headed. All of her friends have noticed that she's a completely different person from how she normally seems around other people; she's friendly, open, bright, always cheerful, playful, cheeky, trust worthy, loyal, a little silly, and has a great sense of humour. [B]Equipment:[/B] Like a regular ninja, she has the normal carriers strapped around her body. Her [URL=http://www.narutofan.com/_content-images/bombholster.jpg]holster[/URL] is on the back of her belt on her right side for easy access, she carries a few bombs, some invisible string, and a large bunch of throwing kunai with a regular kunai stabbed in her belt. Meiko's [URL=http://www.narutofan.com/_content-images/shurikenholster.jpg]shuriken holster[/URL] is strapped to her right thigh and she has a single fuuma shuriken slipped in between the binding and her leg. She carries two jutsu scrolls tucked into the back of her belt which are the key to Soushouryu, and has a small pouch that holds bunches of needles that she has great accuracy with. [B]Main Weapon/Technique:[/B] Meiko is a weapons master, and she wishes to follow in the ways of the Chuunin Tenten. She's a natural and currently has a 80% accuracy rate, 20 short of Tenten's 100%, but she's still working on it. She specialises in projectiles and tries to carry as much as she can without having it weigh her down too much, but also if she can grab a hold of any random weapon, she'll use it to throw at an enemy. But even though she mainly throws, she can use most weapons that can be found incredibly. She's an agile fighter physically and can deal a lot of damage using taijutsu and she likes to move around a lot to make it harder for her opponents. Meiko's also a good jutsu user, often using Bunshin no Jutsu to help confuse her enemies, and Kawarimi no Jutsu, the avoidance technique as defensive techniques, and she uses taijutsu combos and elemental jutsus for offensive. Her special technique that she's working on is Soushouryu, Rising Twin Dragons. She has been getting help from Tenten, who uses it as a speciality but she can only summon a few weapons currently. [B]Biography/Writing Sample:[/B] Meiko was standing before a large target, it was ridden full of holes so that the rings could hardly be seen. She reached into her needle pouch and extracted a bunch of the thin projectiles. She threw them all one after the other rapidly at the target, and was satisfied when she saw that they were all in the center, but frowned when she saw that only a small group were gathered in the bullseye. Her aim was slowly getting better but she wanted a 100% accuracy rate. She heard a crunch as a foot came down on a pile of dried leaves. Meiko leapt up into a tree and watched silently, she was ready to shower projectiles on an enemy. A boy the same age as her walked up to the target and looked around. Meiko sighed and jumped out of the tree, leaning her back against the trunk of it. She should of guessed Daisuke would make an appearance as he usually did. It was often like that because he hardly ever warned her if she was coming. [B]"Need help, Daisuke?"[/B] Meiko asked him. He turned around and smiled, nodding as he reached into his needle pouch, prouding a batch of his own. [B]"Not too busy for me are you?"[/B] [B]"Nope, just practising myself."[/B] she replied, walking up to the target and tuggging the needles free from the board. Meiko nodded to him, indicating for him to throw so she could see how he was doing in his own personal practise. She smiled, it was definitely getting a lot better, he was in the third ring from the center. [B]"Good, good. Now, try....throwing like this."[/B] Meiko said, standing behind him and holding his hand, moving it in the motion she meant. She noticed a redish tinge started to spread over Daisuke's face and let go, telling him to give it a try. He nodded and threw how she instructed, this time it landed in the second circle. [B]"You're getting better."[/B] [B]"You're still better than me."[/B] he told her with a grin. Meiko smiled brightly. [B]"But I'm a natural."[/B] she flicked a needle into the center of the target without looking. [B]"Show off."[/B] Meiko winked with a cheeky grin, but suddenly they heard the bell from the academy chiming signalling the end of their break. [B]"Ack, let's go."[/B] Meiko said. They pulled out their needles and put them away, quickly pushing away the target into it's hiding spot and they hurried back to the academy before they were punished for being late. [B]Extra Notes:[/B] -Is friends with Daisuke, Hart, Kazuko, Keiji and Imi -Tenten is who she wishes to be like[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stark Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 (You asked, so I came. I've wanted to play a Jounin, but got a little nervous with the amount of excellent RPers that posted. I'll take a whack at it.) [B]Name: [/B] Aogiri Kaname ('Kana' by those she trusts) [B]Age: [/B] 24 [B]Gender: [/B] Female [B]Height: [/B] 5'1" [B]Weight: [/B] 98 lbs [B]Appearance: [/B] With a slim build and long limbs, Kana is often seen as being the fragile sort who could break as easily as a fallen china doll. With intentions to break that image, and the doll that it entails, Kana is often seen in the most unflattering of outfits that do nothing to show off her figure. Typically, she wears close fitting pants that are dark in color, usually green, a long sleeved turtleneck style shirt, again in a dark color, and possibly a vest when it's chilly out. With shoulder length black hair and clear grey eyes she blends into the shadows perfectly, and can move as silently and quickly as one as well. [B]Rank: [/B] Jounin [B]Personality: [/B] Kana is often times the quiet sort, the one who does a lot of listening rather than speaking. It's not that she doesn't have much to say, it's that what is on her mind might not be pertinent to the situation. She has a quick mind, often allowing her to come up with a witty comment at the right moment, and has been told that she has a dry sense of humor. Around kids she is great, and often tries to act as a role model for the younger generation. Even if she likes to smile and laugh, she knows how to get tough when it?s necessary. [B]Equipment: [/B] Kana?s carries the standard tools that any Ninja should have, such as kunai and shuriken. She is especially fond of the use of smoke bombs, which she always carries on her,carries some exploding notes, and has a couple of scrolls she likes to use as well. [B]Main Weapon/Technique: [/B] Since she was a child, Kana has been proficient with a weapon known as a Kikuchi Yari?a Japanese spear that is approximately two meters in length and has a single cutting edge. With it she engages in close quarters combat, which is excellent for her considering that Genjutsu isn?t her specialty. She moves with such speed and precision that her opponents are often left startled at her skill, and that a bird-like young woman could prove so difficult to fight against. [B]Biography/ Writing Sample: [/B] When she was young, all Kana wanted was to become stronger. Her mother died when she was a baby, leaving her father?a Jounin himself?alone to raise his young daughter. Their life was happy for a while, but her father was killed on a mission when she was seven. Even at her age, Kana saw the problems she would have to face on a monetary level, and went to work at the local noodle shop. Needless to say, she doubted that she would ever get anywhere. Kana never liked seeing her peers picking on someone weaker than them. Be it a puppy, or even the boy she would later come to know as Sho, she always felt sick to her stomach to see the others acting so tough. She made it her personal mission at that time to bring about the retribution of the underdog?s aggressors, even if she did get into various problems because of that. Oftentimes, she would have to be saved by one of the teachers at the academy because it got so serious. It was at that time, after one too many rescues, that she decided to become a Ninja herself. Her reasoning was that she wanted to get strong enough so that she wouldn?t have to be rescued. Perhaps, she dreamed, she would rescue someone one day herself. She enrolled herself into the academy, mellowed out, and passed all of her tests with flying colors. Afterward, she gracefully accepted the task of ushering in a new generation of Ninja. Her kind demeanor if often countered by her still lingering desire to bring about the retribution of the world?s bullies, but it is rare that she allows that to get in the way with her duties. [B]Extra Notes: [/B] -Has a high regard for Zankokusa Shogo. -Is about as tall as some of the Genin, and is often disrespected because of that. -Has an excellent sense of hearing. -Has a soft spot for Kagami Imi, as Imi reminds her of herself at that age. -Is rather fond of Hyuuga Nariko, and wants to see her succeed. -Still helps out in the noodle shop from time to time, as a gesture of remembrance toward her roots. The other Jounin are often confused by this, but they don't ask any questions about her actions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellerby Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 [color=#333333][B]Name:[/B] Tetsuni Hart [B]Age:[/B] 12 [B]Gender:[/B] Male [B]Appearance:[/B] Click [url=http://ic1.deviantart.com/fs9/i/2006/042/2/9/100_Hits_for_White_by_K_K_C.jpg][u][color=#333333]here[/color][/u][/url]. [B]Rank:[/B] Rookie Genin [B]Personality:[/B] Hart is a kind and gentle boy who is willing to do anything for his close friends. Although he may have [i]some[/i] enemies, he generally tries his best to be nice to others (and sometimes failing). When it comes to love, Hart is the guy to go to. If he is with a girl in a relationship, he will go to all ends to impress her and romantisize her life up. When this boy wants a girl, he'll stop at nothing to win her over (except for his latest crush, a close friend of his). [B]Equipment:[/B] With a Shrukien Holster strapped to the side of his pants, a Kunai Holster on the back of her belt and wearing Metal Plated Gloves, Hart has all the basic ninja tools ready for use at all times. [B]Main Weapon/Technique:[/B] Besides his Shuriken and Kunai, Hart focuses mainly on brute force to win over his opponent. Although he has deadly accuracy, he doesn't put it to much use because he uses [url=http://www.tsa.gov/interweb/assetlibrary/Brace_Knuckle.jpg]Brass Knuckles[/url] and when in big trouble, breaks out the [url=http://graphipedia.squares.net/image/Weapon/Hand-to-Hand/Cesti.jpg]Cesti[/url]. [B]Biography:[/B] [/color] [size=1][B]"Hey there, Hart,"[/B] two schoolgirls giggled sheepishly as Hart waved at them as he walked by. They were two girls that had both had a crush on him for a long time and it was starting to tire him at how persevere they both were. He strutted along the streets of his home town and found his best friend, Kazuko, at a food stand. He was munching down on something, as usual. Hart greeted him with a nod. [b]"Whenever I find you, you are always eating. Why aren't you chubby?"[/b] Hart poked his friends stomach playfully. Kazuko glared at him. [b]"You're one to talk, flyboy."[/b] Kazuko was referring to an incident invloving Hart that happened during class about two years ago. There was a fly that was bugging him and when he went to slap the bug, he had missed. Everywhere he went after that Hart had been called flyboy, the boy who couldn't kill a fly. Kazuko was the only one who kept it up nowadays. [B]"Oh, shutup. Where's Meiko?" [/B] asked Hart. Kazuko stuffed the last of his noodles into his mouth and wiped his face clean. [B]"I don't know. I don't stalk her, you know."[/B] [B]"That's not my understanding."[/B] [B]"Flyboy."[/B] [B]"That's getting old, chubby."[/B] [B]"Shutup, flyboy."[/B] They laughed for a bit. Often the two buds would get into these fights where they just insulted eachother. Kazuko led Hart down the path towards the school. They were to graduate soon and had to take an exam momentarily. Suddenly, the red-haired boy stopped and grinned to himself. [B]"Race you,"[/B] and without an answer, he jumped away. Hart shook his head and followed.[/size] [color=#333333] [B]Extra Notes:[/B][list] [*]Is friends with Kazuko and Meiko. [*]Has a secret desire to kill certain colleagues.

Cambrian_Explosion Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Note: Ezekiel, if you're sick and tired of almost all Genin sign-ups, I'll sign up as one of the original crew. Also, Sakura, if you don't want Daisuke involved with Meiko, just say the word and it will be gone. Note 2: Thanks Sakura. [COLOR=DarkRed][B]Name:[/B] Hyuuga Daisuke - given name means "great tree" [B]Gender:[/B] Male [B]Age:[/B] 12 [B]Rank:[/B] Rookie Genin [B]Appearance:[/B] Looks remarkably like Hiashi, even though his parents are just his cousins. Strange how genetics work, ne? He prefers dark green loose-fitting pants but also wears a long-sleeved shirt similar to Neji?s. He wears the Konoha forehead protector on his forehead (he can?t conceive why anyone would wear it any other way, but keeps this to himself). [B]Personality:[/B] Although the shinobi tend to be a reclusive bunch (especially those with secrets to keep), Daisuke seems to have no trouble striking up small talk with his classmates. By no means the most popular kid in the class, he nonetheless has a sort of quiet charm, which combined with his openness and willingness to lend an ear to anyone who wants someone to talk to has endeared him to a majority of the class body. However, there are some people he personally dislikes. He and Junko have a heated rivalry going, each seeking Neji-sensei?s recognition. Although he and Kazuko are technically rivals, their personalities jive well enough for them to get along. He likes Meiko a lot, partly because he thinks she looks good in black, but mostly because she?s a very smart and skillful ninja and he respects her. Plus, she gave him a few good pointers on improving his aim with needles. Aside from this, Daisuke is fairly intelligent and possesses an excellent memory, but in fights he sometimes over thinks things, a weakness Junko rarely passes up a chance to point out. He always takes training and missions very seriously, sometimes practicing well into the night. Mild-mannered though he may normally be, if someone were to push him beyond a certain point and made him angry, they very well might not live to regret it. He doesn?t fly into a blind bloodlust; he just coldly calculates in a split second who he will kill and how, without any compunction about killing until afterwards. A good way to make him angry is to threaten his life, or the life of someone he cares about. [B]Equipment:[/B] Daisuke carries his kunai holster on his right hip and shuriken in a holster on his right thigh. He is also experimenting with using needles and carries a number of them on his person, some up his sleeves and many more stuck in his belt; he needs to work on his accuracy with them, but Meiko has helped him a few times. He may or may not eventually discard kunai and shuriken altogether in favor of carrying more needles. In a pouch on his left hip, he has several exploding tags, a length of strong yet thin wire, and a couple smoke bombs. He has scroll pouches for maps and jutsu scrolls as well (mostly empty for now). [B]Main Weapon/Technique:[/B] As a Hyuuga, Daisuke possesses his clan?s bloodline limit, an eye jutsu called the Byakugan. It gives the user a combination of 360 degree vision (except for the blind spot behind the thoracic vertebra), telescopic vision, and penetrating vision. He can also use chakra to detect anything within a 50-foot radius. The aspect that makes the Byakugan the most dangerous however is the ability to see the inner coil system, a system that channels chakra throughout the body like blood vessels, as well as the chakra opening points, places where chakra leaves the body to perform jutsus. Combined with the juken (Gentle Fist) style of fighting allows Daisuke to damage internal organs with his chakra, as well as possibly shutting off the chakra opening points, preventing the opponent from using jutsus requiring chakra. Like Junko, his skills are quite deadly, but still not up to par with Neji?s when he was 12. He is also experimenting with using needles to strike the chakra opening points from a distance. Like Junko, he has yet to master the Hakkesho Kaiten (Eight Trigram Palms Heavenly Spin); however it seems Junko is closer to achieving it than Daisuke, simply because Daisuke takes more time out of practice to experiment with his needles, and practice ninjutsu and genjutsu. [B]Bio:[/B] Daisuke was born into the Branch House to loving parents. Although neither were particularly skilled with the Byakugan, their son soon showed signs of greater potential. As with most Hyuugas he has had the capability to use the White Eyes since the age of three. He picked up the basics of Gentle Fist quickly but not quite as fast as Junko, so it wasn?t until age six that Hinata became his teacher. Daisuke threw himself into his training, determined not to be outdone so completely again. He succeeded, but only because both of them graduated to the school of Neji at the same time. Around this time Daisuke began working with needles. He wondered if needles could close the chakra opening points. However, he found his accuracy with them was terribly poor. Instead of giving it up as a lost cause, he began devoting more and more time to practicing with them. He soon began running into Meiko, who was also working on her aim. The first few practices, he greeted her, but largely left her alone. But when he saw that her aim was improving much faster than his own, he asked her for advice. She seemed skeptical at first but gave him some pointers. In the last few practices, Daisuke?s accuracy has markedly increased. Extra Info: -Cousins to Hinata, Neji, Junko, and Nariko -Rivals with Junko and Kazuko, but friendlier with Kazuko -Really likes Meiko -Mixed feelings for Nariko. Pities her somewhat, wishes to help, yet feels alienated, and not just because she avoids him.[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyriel Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 [COLOR=Blue][SIZE=1][B]Name:[/B] Hyuuga Nariko ? (Nari); ?thunder peal? [B]Age:[/B] 12 [B]Gender:[/B] Female [B]Appearance:[/B] attached. Wears shorts and a 3/4 sleeves tunic, both cobalt-blue. Bandages are wound around her arms from the elbow down, with her hands slipped into gray fingerless gloves. She also wears hidden weights around her wrists and ankles as part of her training. Her forehead protector rests on her collar. A small, yellow sunflower is embroidered on her left shoulder, as well as on a corner on the skirt of her tunic. [B]Rank:[/B] Rookie Genin [B]Personality:[/B] Although descended from the Hyuuga clan, Nariko hardly represents the silent, stoic wisdom that Hyuuga usually puts forth. Instead, Nari is much more cheerful and forward, at least towards those whom she favors. She adores things that are brilliant and colorful, namely flowers, and is mostly a very bright and happy young girl. However, just as all people, Nari also has her share of shame and disgrace, and she will try to avoid it as much as possible. She dislikes unnecessary confrontation, or anything that will force her out of her comfort zone in a public arena. Sometimes she is irritated by the fact that she cannot have the one thing that she longs for the most (explained in bio). However, challenges are not a problem for Nari ? indeed she relishes complicated situations and settings in which she is forced to reach beyond her potential and draw on hidden strengths. She is no stranger to difficulty, and relishes putting all her energy into attacking a problem to try and find a solution. In training Nari is absolutely and completely disciplined, and her determination is unmatched in reaching her goals. She is creative, intelligent, good-natured, sometimes mischievous, and yet still has something of sorrow beneath the surface. She holds something of a grudge against the Hyuuga clan, and that is the one bitter taste in her life thus far. She is also wary of people in general, knowing the emotional damage the general populace can inflict, but she secretly longs for close companionship. Most of all Nari desires to prove her worth in the world, even though she could be considered a failure of blood by some (explained in bio). Nari has yet to live up her name, ?thunder peal,? but it may be that even she holds powers still unknown to herself. [B]Equipment:[/B] A small kunai holder on her leg carries three kunais, and Nari has a small utility pouch on her belt that contains shuriken, a length of wire, bandages, and some explosive tags. [B]Main Weapon/Technique:[/B] Being of the Hyuuga clan, one would automatically think that Byakugan would be Nari?s technique of choice. Surprisingly, it is not ? Nari actually [I]never[/I] uses Byakugan, instead relying completely on her juken, that which the Hyuuga call ?Gentle Fist.? However, Nari has turned ?Gentle Fist? into something she privately calls ?Silk Hand.? Where the ?Gentle Fist? technique is able to shut off the body?s chakra flow, Nari?s ?Silk Hand? uses the juken to cut into the opponent?s chakra flow permanently, either letting the chakra run out of the body, or allowing Nari to drain and absorb the chakra. Either way, her technique can be fatal if not treated by specialists; she has yet to use this juken in public, having practiced it only in her private training, and it still must be perfected. While her chakra control is outstanding, Nari favors [I]taijutsu[/I], as it can be used in extremely effective combinations with her ?Gentle Fist? and ?Silk Hand? jukens, and paired with her exceptional speed that comes from weight training. [B]Biography/Writing Sample:[/B] Born to Hyuuga Hinabi, the Hyuuga clan was relishing the birth of a strong addition to the clan. Expectations were very high since Hinabi was such a natural master of the inherited bloodline limit, [I]Byakugan[/I]. Thus, when Nariko was born, everyone was expecting another outstanding ninja to arise to master the Byakugan, along with Junko and Daisuke. While the two young men did not disappoint the clan, Nariko was a different story. Hinabi personally started to train her daughter from the moment the girl could barely walk, rising before dawn in the mornings to set Nariko to work. Years of practice, and Hyuuga Junko still managed to exhibit signs of the Byakugan first, followed shortly after by Daisuke. Nariko?s mother was disappointed, to say the least, but still kept training with her daughter, sure that signs of Byakugan would begin to emerge soon. However, another year passed; Hinabi became worried, and so passed the training of her daughter to the head of the clan, Hiashi. Another year, and still Nariko had exhibited no hint of the Byakugan. She began to resent the whispers and stares, all reminders of her one and most important failure. Slowly but surely, the happy girl retreated from the clan, drawing away from family life, until she kept mostly to herself, and expressing thoughts only to the wilderness that she roamed. The rest of the clan soon forgot her, as she stood in the shadows of two protégés: Junko and Daisuke. Nariko was eventually taken at the age of six to see Haruno Sakura, by this time known as one of the best healing ninjas in existence. Sakura confirmed what the Hyuuga clan suspected: Hyuuga Nariko had not inherited the [I]kekkai genkai[/I], the Byakugan, for reasons largely unknown. It was the first time that this had occurred in the history of the clan, and many found it hard to believe that she was a true descendant of the Hyuuga at all. From that point on, all of Nariko?s training ceased. Hyuuga Hinabi also distanced herself from her daughter, shamed at the rumors and speculation at Nariko?s ?true? parenthood. Although she was never mistreated, and always cared for, Nariko remained in the background of clan life, and soon spent the majority of her life away from her family. She would spend weeks on end by herself, wandering the outskirts and lands of Konoha. One morning as she was waking up in a field, all around her sunflowers burst into bloom as the sun?s first rays touched their buds, surrounding her in a field of gold. It was then that Nariko started to cultivate another form of knowledge, visiting the library daily to pour over the tomes and volumes of information on plants, animals, insects?etc. Eventually Sakura once again took notice of the young girl, and visited the Hyuugas to ask them to enroll Nariko into the Ninja Academy. Thus, Nariko attended school for the first time. Starved for knowledge and training, Nariko caught up quickly to her peers, devouring all the information and techniques taught to her. Nariko trained privately at first with Sakura, who taught her everything she knew about chakra control and use. Nariko soon mastered all that Sakura showed her, and so decided to find another sensei. Soon she found herself under the tutelage of Maito Gai, who passed her on to Rock Lee. These two encouraged and helped her greatly, and soon Nariko was gaining ground. In the span of five years she had not only caught up to everyone else her age in schooling, but could also match some of them in fighting technique and skill, even without Byakugan. The combination of powerfully rendered taijutsu and perfectly controlled chakra technique soon gave birth to Nariko?s own artful form of the Hyuuga juken, which she christened ?Silk Hand,? because of the peculiar feeling that the victim felt after being hit with it, like reels of silk thread being pulled out from the wound. Despite Nariko?s success so far, she still feels no rest from the judgment of the Hyuuga clan, and will avoid any of them that she comes across, despite her direct relation to them. After five years, her resentment has turned into a grudge, although not entirely against the Hyuuga?s. Nariko unconsciously places the blame of failure upon herself; she feels that it was somehow her own fault that she did not inherit the Byakugan, and this secret fixation is the driving force behind every act in her life. Each step she takes is towards the goal of proving her legitimacy and worth to the Hyuuga clan, even though Nariko is convinced that they mean nothing to her. She has promised herself that she will never again be judged as a failure or disgrace, and goes to prove this to the world?and to herself. [B]Extra Notes:[/B] - Avoids members of Hyuuga like the plague, including Junko and Daisuke. - Admires Kagami Imi because of her skill in combat, but tends to keep away because of Junko?s presence. - Introduces herself as ?Nari? ? only members of the clan (or teachers) call her by her full name ?Nariko.? - Is in awe of Zankokusa Shogo, because she compares his blindness to her own inability. - Admires Aogiri Kaname because of her kindness. - Currently trains under Haruno Sakura, Gai-sensei, and Rock Lee. Nari has yet to make close personal contacts, although she is a familiar face to most now. *Am willing to play a jounin if need be.

Revelation Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 [size=1][color=#B2566B][B]Name-[/B] Uzumaki Naruto [B]Age-[/B] 28 [B]Gender-[/B] Male [B]Rank-[/B] Jounin [B]Appearance-[/B] [[URL=http://img78.imageshack.us/img78/8072/naruto7vm.jpg]1[/URL]] [[URL=http://img78.imageshack.us/img78/5062/naruto1bx.jpg]2[/URL]] Not much has changed in Naruto?s attire except the fact that he still wears a black shirt underneath the orange zip-up jacket and orange pants with bandages and a black band wrapped around his mid-thigh (even though the Hokage repeatedly told him that he was to wear the Konoha uniform). It is what he feels most comfortable in and it allows him to stand out, let people take notice of him. Other than that, he also has navy blue metal plated gloves, like many Chuunin and Jounin. [B]Personality-[/B] If Naruto could be summed up in one word, it would be determined. His antics, pranks, and playful nature are due to the determinations of his desire to be noticed, his stubbornness, jealousy, and masculinity are because of his want to be better than Sasuke, and nearly everything that he does is because of his determination. Because of this determination, Naruto has been able to overcome trials and hardships, learn and experience new things, and even attain newfound friends like Sasuke, Sakura, Rock Lee, and many more, especially in Kakashi Sensei, a Jounin who?s helped him develop his abilities and lead him to become a great ninja. As the years passed by, Naruto has never lost a step in his pranks and hyperactive behavior, though he has begun to use his, what seemed to be, disliked qualities and turned them into useful traits like speaking loud through opinions. Though he still may not be the brightest crayon in the box, he has become a knowledgable and intelligent man, ravenous for more knowledge, but still his hunger gets the best of him. But perhaps, the best quality about Naruto is his amazing loyalty to his friends, protecting and caring for them, as well as the want to be acknowledged by the people of Konoha, and his dream to become Hokage. [B]Equipment-[/B] Unlike the rank of a Genin, Jounins carry around three pouches located on different parts of his body. One is the scroll pouch which can be found on the right side of his waist, another is his bomb/kunai holster which holds smokeballs, exploding notes, and other various tools, and the last of the pouches is his shuriken holster which holds multiples of shuriken. [B]Main Weapon/Technique-[/B] During his Genin years, Naruto had a habit of transforming his Henge no Jutsu into that of a nude woman version of himself, which he calls Sexy no Jutsu, as well as using Kage Bunshin no Jutsu to create dozens of Sexy no Jutsu, which he ultimately calls Harem no Jutsu. Along with that, he is also talented in Ninjutsu and Taijutsu, and is known to dabble in other Jutsus as well. But his greatest accomplishments in techniques would be the Sennen Goroshi, a technique taught to him by Kakashi Sensei, and even the ability to control his Kyuubi form. When it comes to weapons, Naruto is an expert with the wakizashi he carries around. It is serrated at the tip with the symbol of Konoha engraved near the tsuba and the symbol of Kyuubi engraved at the bottom of the hilt. [B]Biography/Writing Sample-[/B] Gurgle, gurgle. The sound of a stomach growling filled the entire room and everyone looked to Naruto, knowing his hunger was the interruption of the important meeting. As a weak attempt, Naruto gave his own stern look to Konohamaru, who returned the gaze. With a sigh, Hokage spoke to Naruto, [B]?Naruto...will you just get Sasuke? You will be leaving immediately to Nami no Kuni (the Wave Country).?[/B] Smiling a goofy grin, Naruto bowed to Hokage and ran out of the doors but halfway out of the doors, he slowed down only to hear his stomach growling more. He held a frustrated face, wanting cup ramen but knew that Hokage, Kakashi Sensei, Sasuke, and Iruka Sensei would only be angry at him. Naruto stood in thought, not noticing the two running Academy Students bumped into him, pushing him to the ground. He groaned and shook his head, looking at the two students who stood up and quickly dusted themselves off, apologizing for their behavior. Naruto merely smiled and stood up, walking towards the two and ruffling their hair, telling them to be careful next time. The growling stomach had subsided and Naruto went on his way to find Sasuke. He called out his name and ran towards the empty fields. Due to his sudden starvation of his fourth meal after lunch, Naruto was slower and drained of energy. He eventually found Sasuke and with his frustrated face, he walked up and called to him. Sasuke woke up and grabbed Naruto?s extended hand but pulled him down onto the ground, chuckling as Naruto stood up and ran after the walking Sasuke. Sasuke and Naruto soon entered the village and were bombarded by young Academy students but Sasuke walked through them, while Naruto laughed with them. [B]?Hayaku, Naruto!?[/B] [B]Extra Notes-[/B] Naruto?s one and only dream, still, is to become Hokage so that people may acknowledge him. He also gained complete trust from Gamabunta and even control of Kyuubi. I?ll edit the Writing Sample/Bio if you want me to. I think I will since I don?t really like it but here?s what?s what on my part, hope it?s ok.[/size][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Random Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 I'm just placing a reserve here...I've already PMd Ezekiel regarding this, and, seeing that she said it's okay, I'll have everything down sometime tomorrow morning. ~Ex Edit: Just the Bio left to do, then I'm done... Edit2: Done! [SIZE=1] [COLOR=Purple][B]Name:[/B] Akano June [B]Age:[/B] 12 [B]Gender:[/B] Female [B]Appearance:[/B] [URL=http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b256/Drummingfoo/choice1.jpg]June.[/URL] Her hair is a pale blond, and her eyes are very light blue. The shirt/dress she has is a light purple, and the patterns on it are silver. Her shoes are black with dark purple laces. The belt she has around her waist is dark leather, previously worn by her father. Attached to her back is a black sheath with silver symbols encrypted along the sides. [B]Rank:[/B] Rookie Genin [B]Personality:[/B] June is a tomboy, and often acts like a boy would. But in many ways she's a girl: she likes to gossip, likes to have her hair done nice and pritty, and [b]hates[/b] bugs. June is a very loyal person, although it's hard for someone to get close to her. She very guarded with her own personal feelings, but once she opens up, she'll follow you to the ends of the earth. She likes to talk to others, while keeping them at a 'safe distance' emotionally speaking. In hard/tough situations, she handles herself well on the outside, but inside she's constantly doubting herself. She likes to analyze situations before she "rushes in," and it sometimes get her into more trouble than if she went on whims. [B]Equipment:[/B] Jade has a shruiken holster, holding four shruiken, on her left upper-leg, and a kunai holster, holding three kunai, one handeless kunai and two double-edged kunai, directly above it on her waist. Tied to her belt and resting on her right hip is a small pouch that contains two aid packs, two smokeballs and water. On her back is what looks like a sword sheath with a handle sticking out of the opening. This is her main weapon, a chain-whip, which was forged by her father and given to her after his funeral. It looks like [URL=http://www.joniray.com/Images/Old_Weapons/91006_Long_Handle_Wood_Whip/91006a.jpg][b][u]This[/u][/b][/URL], although the handle looks like that of a katana. [B]Main Weapon/Technique:[/B] June is a weapons "expert," considering her level. She likes to experiment with different types of weapons, and that shows in her techniques and fighting style. June's main technique has to do with her whip. She can manipulate chakra into her chain-whip, extending it's reach and doubling it's durablity and attack power. She can't do this with other weapons. Also, she has experiemented with manipulating chakra into her feet, attempting to give her greater maneuverability, speed, and jumping height/distance. The attempts have been unsucessful, but extreamly amusing to everyone else. Having a natural ability to understand how different weapons are utalized to the fullest potential, June has been known to carry only one of any type of weapon. This makes her a very unique and diverse fighter. Depending on what weapons her foes have, she choses her own and fights accordingly. She is very versitile in her skills, being nearly as good with ranged attacks as she is with hand-to-hand combat. Although she can use just about any weapon, she usually prefers to use her chain-whip, regardless, as it holds special meaning. Not to mention that it also is a great tool in either close or mid-ranged combat. [B]Biography/[strike]Writing Sample[/strike]:[/B] June is the youngest of three girls. She was raised by her father, a weapons maker. Her mother had died in childbirth. June and her family lived in a small village, in a small house. They weren't exactly poor, but they weren't rich, either. One would say they had enough to get by. June lived happily with her family, content on helping her older sisters tend the house, cook, and various other odd jobs while her father was at the furnace all day. During her free time, she would make-believe that she was a fully trained Jounin, warding off all maner of evil to protect her village. She used to snipe a weapon from her father's keep every now and then to practice with them. This is how she became so proficiant with weapons. Her life was to change one day. Just over one month before her ninth birthday, her father died of a heart attack. June was devistated, and didn't talk for nearly a month. Finally, one week before her ninth birthday, her oldest sister gave her a gift from their father: a specially made chain-whip along with matching sheath. The day after her nineth birthday, she was taken to Konoha, seeing as she had "potential to be a great Ninja." This was the single best day of her life, and her child-hood reveries were to come true. Armed with her chain-whip and her father's love, she set out to face the world and prove that she can, and will, be somebody. [B]Extra Notes:[/B] ~Cousin to Akano Kazuko, although not as close to him as one would think ~Has a secret crush on Miyamoto Keiji (thx, Retri) ~Greatly respects Aogiri Kaname-sensei ~A social butterfly, loves to talk to everyone ~Has no close friends, but is pritty much equally aquainted with everyone ~The girly-girl tomboy ~Loves to sing, whenever and wherever possible. ~Hates bugs...alot ~Favorite color is White ~Wears father's belt as a memory token [/COLOR][/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
