Shinobi Roster

Shinobi Roster
To those of you who have been contacted by me are invited to rp once more.
(See Rp Topic for overview)

If invited and you wish to participate in this rp, the following conditions must be met before your entry:

1. All characters, abilities, and kekkei genkai must be approved of prior to entry by 3/4s vote from the following members—Akira, Inari, Majeh, Scy. A brief overview will be sufficient in order for the characters to be approved. You need not spoil everything about the character nor have their moves defined to the T, just a general representation will be examined. Once your character is approved you may join in the rp topic.

2. There is a minimum of two characters (one female and one male) and one of them must be young and enrolled into the academy so that they may be placed on a three man squad with another’s character(s).

3. Due to the young age of certain characters, there will be allotted time skips thus aging the characters gradually. Each will not have an elaborate back-story provided via a profile, instead the Rp’er will be forced to write their character’s story as the Rp itself progresses. Hence as to why the characters would start out so young. (This also prevents overpowered characters for all techniques and skills would have to be learned throughout the course of the rp.)

4. Most shinobi hail from all walks of life however there are specific clans that are known to produce those capable of becoming a shinobi. These clans are specialized and unique; as such please provide a little background on a designed clan if you so chose to have a character from one.

5. There exist five chakra elements as in the Naruto series, however, the associated abilities and clans will not make an appearance in this rp. Instead, the elements of chakra are to be used merely as a base to be expanded upon.


Without further adieu,
I think we all know the drill by now, however, to side with caution here is the layout for the bios.

Name: Isshin Karasu (Karasu is his first name)
Alias(s): 1, Taka (Hawk)
Age: 20
Height: 6’3
Gender: Male
Status/ Occupation: Freelance – Leader of the Assassination Squad
Specialized weaponry: Katana – made from the hardest metal in existence, which fortunately is also the best conductor of electricity and, thus, the lightning element.
Chakra type/specialization: Lightning

Kekkai Genkai:
Takanome (eyes of the hawk): - These eyes allow Karasu to see everything in a much more precise way, having a variety of uses. There are three known stages to these eyes, two of which Karasu has already attained.
The first simply allows the user to see far into the distance, with everything appearing as clear as though it was right in front of them. The user will also see this information in a great depth of detail, being able to accurately gauge distances and speeds which others are moving.
The second stage makes everything appear as if in slow motion. This is incredibly useful in battles as Karasu can easily notice openings in an opponent’s attack and form, as well as allowing him to visualize a “path” of action which he can easily follow in order to defeat an enemy. He can pinpoint exactly where to move and where to strike, allowing him to deliver a perfect strike and kill the opponent with ease. Utilizing the second stage of the Takanome puts a large strain on Karasu’s eyes, as everything has to be seen at a slower speed than normal, yet processed at a faster rate in order to keep Karasu functioning in real time. Karasu activates this only when necessarily, as it would do a great amount of damage to his eyes if used for prolonged periods of time.
Karasu has not yet attained the third stage of the Takanome. Only one member of the Isshin clan has ever been known to have unlocked it, and he was the founding member. He was not able to use it to its full potential, and thus the limits of this eye technique are currently unknown. The third stage is incredibly powerful, as it puts an immense amount of strain on every part of the body. Every muscle is pushed past its natural limits and forced to work at over maximum power and precision. By using the third stage, the user is capable of gaining almost superhuman abilities. He/she can, in essence, “bend” and manipulate the wind and air itself, much like a hawk. Through so doing, the user can accelerate their own speed, their movement becoming untraceable, and annihilate the enemy. Using this technique shortens the user’s lifespan and should only be used in the most desperate situations.
Theoretically, a “fourth” stage could be possible if stages two and three were merged together. This would allow the tremendous boost of speed and movement control to be used alongside viewing the opponent’s movements and attacks in slow motion so as to allow counters. When contemplating the level of concentration necessary to achieve a desirable result here, it would appear almost surely impossible. If it were ever achieved, even just a glimpse, it would almost certainly end in certain death for the user, as the brain would most likely shut down from the immense strain, the body would be heavily damaged (muscles etc would likely be irreparably destroyed) and the retinas would completely burn out, leaving the user entirely blind (if they miraculously managed to survive).

Personality:
Karasu has a calm and relaxed personality, being calculated and logical rather than emotional and on edge, and remains this way even in the most challenging of battles. He may appear not to be paying attention to situations at times but is, in fact, likely calculating a strategy. Karasu is a pleasant character and isn’t one to draw negative attention to himself. He respects his team and appreciates their support and loyalty. He has a personal honor code which he sticks to without fail. He will not tolerate anyone betraying or crossing a comrade, and as such, always looks out for his own. He would give his life for any of his team, as they have pledged allegiance to him, and he is grateful. He is a perfect leader and is greatly admired. Karasu’s goal is revolution. He hates the world the way it is and seeks to recreate it to be more in tune to his own sense of fairness and justice. His team are also the anarchistic/ revolutionary types.

Appearance:
Karasu has a tall and thin build, but his muscles are well defined and he is very strong (his main asset however being his incredible speed). His hair is a dark shade of blue, long and spiked. His eyes are normally a piercing sky blue, but turn yellow whilst using his Takanome. He normally wears his own customized, black shinobi battle attire, being light yet protective. He almost always has a serious expression on his face, though he smiles more when in battle with a skilled adversary. He takes pride in his appearance, always looking respectable. He has an atmosphere about him that lets others know just by looking at him that he is the leader, and a powerful and skilled fighter.

History:
Karasu was always an incredibly skilled shinobi, and greatness was evidently on the cards from a young age. He was a child prodigy, easily being the best at everything within his class at the academy, explaining why he graduated early. He came from a regular family, his father a shinobi, and his mother a medical ninja. Through his life, he noticed several atrocities of how the government worked, and how innocent people were forced to suffer various inhumanities, his father included. He vowed to change the world, and destroy the government any way he could. He is completely devoted to his dream, and that is why he hired his assassination team. He met each of them separately, recognizing a burning passion within each of them for revolution and reform, apart from “4” who he hired because of his incredible prowess in battle, and knowing that he’d need back up during missions.
Karasu is currently being held in the infamous Verashii prison, living in complete darkness and with no hope of escape. His treatment there has, however, only fueled his hatred for the government even more, as the guards were instructed to break both of his arms to prevent him from escaping. Due to this, he is not as powerful as he once was, but he has been concentrating on finding a way to get stronger whilst he has been locked up, and the absolute darkness of his cell is providing a means to carry out the necessary training for his Takanome without the increased light damage to his retinas from processing a greater level of detail. It is presumed that this training is advancing his eye techniques rather successfully. The reason that he was imprisoned was for an act of treason carried out by one of his team which he took the fall for. His team are currently working on a plan to break him free from captivity.

Name: Kusukin Sune (Sune is his first name)
Alias(s): 2
Age: 21
Height: 6’0
Gender: Male
Status/ Occupation: Freelance – Member of 1’s Assassination Squad, Politician
Specialized weaponry: N/A
Chakra type/specialization: Water

Personality:
Sune is an incredibly cold and manipulative character who can usually make others do as he wishes without resorting to violence. Although he is rather weak (physically), Sune is a master of genjutsu and thus can often settle a battle without receiving any wounds. He specializes in psychological torture and often gets carried away, enjoying the task a little too much. Although pleasant with his comrades, those who hire and oppose Sune quickly realize how heartless he truly is underneath. He is extremely smart and a tactical genius, resulting in him seeing the majority of society as inferior to himself. Sune has a unique view of justice and psychologically destroys those who he believes are a plague to society. His personal favourite genjustus involve forcing the victim to completely disbelieve everything around them so that they simply cannot bear to live anymore.

Appearance:
Quite tall and thin with light blue hair and eyes. Sune is usually dressed in upper class robes whilst working as a politician, but sports a regular black cloak whilst fighting alongside 1’s assassination squad. The hood is always up, making sure that the top half of his face (his eyes especially) are not visible. This has allowed him to continue fighting against the government diplomatically whilst also using a more direct route with his teammates.

History:
Coming from an upper class family in Lincere, Sune was always brought up with everything he desired, and was provided with the finest shinobi training and tuition from a young age. His parents were successful politicians who believed in good will and fairness above all else, ideals which were not always viewed to be in the best interests for the country. They were mysteriously found dead together just outside their house, but their party never really followed it up, claiming that it must have been a mugging which had backfired. Sune was only about 10 at the time, and was forced to fend for himself. The government took most of his parents’ money claiming that they had promised it to aid in furthering their political cause. The pain of loss was a heavy burden for the young Sune to bear, and it wasn’t long before he developed an illness which was later found to be terminal and degenerative. His life seemed meaningless to him until he met Karasu (1) after being placed in a team with him at the academy. He was always speaking of crazy dreams like destroying the government and gave Sune someone to believe in, someone who cheered him up. They quickly became close friends and after Karasu proposed for him to join his assassination squad, Sune immediately accepted, becoming “2”, the second in command. Forced to face his own mortality at such a young age, and beginning to finally understand how the government were operating, Sune decided to immortalize himself in history by destroying the government and avenging his parents. This fact is the reason that he fights so coldly (with his genjutsu), enjoying seeing others feel the same pain and misery that he felt, and knowing that he was stronger than them by being able to overcome it.

- Quick Note -

The original member "3" of Karasu's assasination squad is now deceased.

He was one shinobi who committed treason and who Karasu took the fall for (why he is now in prison). Upon Karasu's imprisonment, 3 told 2 and 4 that he was working with the governent, a member of a special branch of the most elite shinobi, and that with Karasu out of the way, he was going to kill both of them.

After realising that he had betrayed their leader, they both fought him together, killing him and disappearing:

- 2 continued working under-cover as a politican
- 4 decided to go break Karasu out of prison by himself

They kept in regular contact.

The squad will most likely look for a replacement for 3 whenever / if Karasu is released/broken out.

Name: Unknown
Alias(s): 4, Demon of Verashii (ice tundra)
Age: 23
Height: 6’4
Gender: Male
Status/ Occupation: Freelance – Member of 1’s Assassination Squad

Specialized weaponry:
“Reaper” – An incredibly large, mystical sword which amplifies the amount of chakra concentrated into it. It is capable of releasing this chakra as a destructive blast, capable of decimating buildings and other structures, or a fierce slash which can cut almost anything in half (depending on the chakra type). The four spikes provide a large enough surface area to shield the wielder from projectiles and weaker long-range justu. Stronger jutsu can also be negated upon concentrating the right type of chakra into the sword. If wind chakra is the type used, this heavy weapon can also be manipulated to become incredibly light, depending on the amount infused with it. This can be reversed by withdrawing the chakra from the blade.

Chakra type/specialization: Wind

Kekkai Genkai:
Healing ability. Slash wounds (such as made by a sharp object), regardless of depth, will automatically cauterize themselves (burn themselves closed) so as to prevent continuing blood loss in battle. As such, only the piercing strike itself will release blood from the wound, as it will begin to close immediately. The time to do so varies depending on the depth of the wound, with deeper wounds taking longer to fully close (the outer layer of skin will close very quickly (given priority), whilst the inner layers and organs/ blood vessels will close afterwards, yet will still commence almost immediately).

Personality:
This character sees himself as an executioner. He lives to end life and to destroy as he pleases. He doesn’t appear to have any moral or honour code, or a conscience. Men, women and children are all equal prey in his eyes. This is not to say that he is in any way unintelligent. He is simply a nihilist and sees no point in doing anything other than the one thing which makes him feel alive and attached to the world. He is usually judged on his appearance primarily, which is enough to scare off the majority of shinobi, resulting on his personality being little known. He appears heartless, merciless and pure evil to those who don’t know him, with those who do understanding that he just has a very unique philosophy. To elaborate further, “1 ” invited him to be on his team because of his incredible power and cunning in battle. He accepted as he saw 1 as a worthy fighter, and because he saw himself in a position where he would be able to kill a lot more shinobi. He tends to keep to himself, and is incredibly bloodthirsty in battle, preferring to cause as much destruction and chaos as possible (it seems that this is in an attempt to validate his own existence). Extreme psychopath. Despite these characteristics, it would appear that he respects “1”, and likely the rest of his team. He would protect them all with his life.

Appearance:
Tall, extremely well built/ muscular. He has a large scar across his chest, as well as numerous other scars all over his body. The smaller scars were all from his training, the larger one from a bear before he killed it (he was only 7 at the time). His clothes are usually torn in several places and stained with his opponents’ blood, due to being in constant battles. He doesn’t take a lot of care in his appearance, seeing himself living only as an executioner. His hair is long and spiked upwards, with a slight tilt to the left, black in colour.

History: The majority of 4’s history is unknown. He does not know his real name, and thus it would be impossible for him to find out any details that aren’t stored in his mind. He prefers to be known as 4, being a code name from the only place that he appears to fit in (the assassination squad). His earliest memories are of being alone in the Ice Tundra. He never knew his parents (or doesn’t remember them), and was forced to fend for himself. He gathered or hunted his own food, and braved the extremely harsh conditions on his own. Due to this, he naturally became stronger and stronger every day, allowing him to even overpower a bear at the age of 7. It was a brutal fight, and it almost cost him his life, the scar gracing his chest as the first true battle he was in, and the hardest challenge he has faced to date (relative to his strength at the time). When he got a little older, he built himself a small shelter to sleep in. He had already explored a large portion of Verashii at that point.

At 14, he was discovered on a mission arranged by another country. He was taken in and recruited to a squad of adult ninja. He killed them all on their first mission together in order to gauge his own strength. Needless to say, it was much greater than the combined forces of the ninja unit he was serving with.
He met “ 1 ” and the others, joining their assassination squad at the age of 21, and has been fighting alongside them ever since.

Name: Shi Akashi
Age: 33
Height: 5’11”
Gender: Male
Status/ Occupation: Sensei at academy
Specialized weaponry: Bo Staff
Chakra type/specialization: Vibration/Frequency

Personality
Shi is a friendly sensei known at the academy. He is usually given three students to teach the “way of the ninja”, but to teach them the false limits of this world. Shi is dedicated to forcing his students to “think outside the box” during their training and completion of missions. In combat, one of habit is a dead man.
He is the father of Miku. Shi is mainly laid back but when tension arises, he becomes focused and disciplined. Most see him as a dark person in the ninja world and they would be right. For his daughter, and his students, he puts on a smile to hide a dark secret.

Clan: Aurora
The Aurora clan first developed their chakra abilities for survival. They use their chakra to manipulate surrounding vibrations or frequencies. Two of the first developed practices were creating small fires by speeding up the vibrations of a concentrated area, and changing the vibrations of one’s aura/chakra points to heal ailments and disease. It wasn’t until later that they expanded the chakra abilities.
Shi’s great grandfather was the first to use the Aurora chakra as a method of self-defense. He coined the basic skills students of the art learn today. These basic skills are shockwaves, created by the user, and altered for a desired effect. Explained in more detail in RP.

Personal History
In his younger days, Shi was backpacking around the different villages. He begged or worked for food and bummed for places to stay the night. Once while travelling through a distant clan, he accidentally intruded on a mugging. The thieves quickly attacked Shi, deeming him a threat.
Shi was skilled in his clan’s ninja art; a hybrid of taijutsu and ninjutsu, learning to control the chakra in the body so that one may control the chakra around it. However, he had not wished to learn the more advanced techniques and learned the basics. If the thieves were more than common punks, he may have not survived the fight. A single shockwave saved his life and sent his foes running.
At first, Shi thought the thieves had attempted to mug him before he heard someone whimper. He approached them slowly. “Hey buddy, you alright?”
The figure raised its head and withdrew their hood. “Thank you.” A young woman said. “You saved my life!” She quickly wrapped her arms around Shi, grateful for his arrival.
“But I…oh boy…” Shi was reluctant to tell her it was an accident. “Say, what are you doing out this late anyways?”
“Oh, I was closing shop…What are you doing out this late?” The young woman backed away, inquisitive. “You’re not from around here, I haven’t seen you before.”
Shi smiled. “Nope, I’m actually backpacking around and was hoping to find a place to sleep.”
The young woman’s attitude quickly changed. “Really? You can stay with me – I mean, it’s the least I could do.” She noticed his arm. “And you’re cut! You saved my life. Let me help you out.”
“Well I…”
“Better than an alleyway, right? By the way, I’m Kanti.”
Shi couldn’t turn down the offer of a nice bed and a roof as opposed to the hard ground under a cloudy sky. He thanked Kanti and went home with her. He was given a room, a bed, bandaged up and had a bath. The next morning, he was doing some awakening meditation when Kanti entered his room. He opened his eyes and peered at the door.
“Oh, sorry. I wasn’t sure if you were up and…hey, what is that you’re doing?” She said.
“This? It’s meditation. Have you ever heard of it?” Shi said.
“No, how do you do it?”
Shi moved to the side and offered Kanti a spot. “It’s easy. Take a seat.” She did so. “Mainly, you start with some slow deep breaths.” He did this as he spoke and Kanti followed. “And then you relax, focus on your breath, and try to find your center.” Shi and Kanti did this for a few moments.
The air felt warm as the two of them became silent. There was almost electricity. Shi opened his eyes and turned to Kanti, she did the same. Before he could speak, she kissed him. It wasn’t until later that day that he continued his trip. Shi didn’t think he would see Kanti again after that. That is, until the day he bumped into her at the academy.
Kanti informed Shi that she was pregnant with his child. Shi was alarmed but Kanti had worse news to deliver. Several nights ago, she heard a rumor about assassins looking for her, sent by her clan. She believes they are out to kill her because mating out of her clan is taboo.
She is of the Lumen clan, masters of the light. The Lumen clan is believed to be pure and because of this, mating with people outside of the clan is forbidden. Kanti is bearing Shi’s child and a bounty had been placed on her head. Over the next few months, Shi finished his time at the academy and started to build a life with Kanti where they could keep her and their child safe.
Nearly a year later, a daughter was born. Little Miku Akashi, Shi and Kanti’s first born. A new life was starting and it was quiet for a few years, peaceful even. One day, Shi was putting Miku to bed; she was four years old and always wanted to hear the story of how he and her mother met. On his way to his bedroom, Shi heard a window break and rushed in to find a stranger cornering Kanti.
Shi attacked the stranger, and Kanti joined him, learning a few of her clan’s ninjutsu over the years. Shi and Kanti put up a good fight, but in the end, Shi was incapacitated via an electric blast. When he awoke, his house was on fire and Kanti was nowhere to be seen. He rushed to find Miku awake and scared. “Daddy? Where’s Mommy?” She said.
“I don’t know sweetie, we have to get out of here.” He said. Shi grabbed Miku and the two of them escaped the burning building. Kanti was never found. Shi was heartbroken, unaware of whether Kanti had survived or if she had been killed. Was she still in the fire? He drove himself into the ground. Friends watched Miku one week while Shi tried to get his act together.
When all was said and done, Shi regained himself and continued living within the village. He cared for Miku and raised her to be a strong woman; he struggled with feminine tasks but encouraged her to be confident about herself. For his own good, Shi began learning the more advanced arts of his clan. The shame of falling in battle and losing someone he loved was too great to forgive.
Over time, some people in the village thought Shi was crazy and killed his wife. Rumors have it that he burned his house down to destroy any evidence of the murder. He saved Miku only to gain sympathy from the villagers. Others believe his word about an assassin, but it’s hard to find trustworthy people. All Shi has asked is that his daughter not be shamed for his past; and his wish was granted.
Miku lived a normal life in the Aurora clan. Grew up as most young ninjas do, went to the academy and is now sixteen years of age. All this time, Shi has been working in the academy and striving to develop new clan arts. He worked up to the title of sensei and is working with the current Hokage on chakra techniques. One day, Shi believes he will find a deeper power in his legion.

She can be passionate and sometimes gets a little carried away with her flirting, rebellious against her father’s wishes to have discipline.

Personal History
When she was a little girl, Shi would tell Miku stories about their clan and how he met her mother. When she was four years old, her mother went missing and her father saved her from a burning house. Since then, Shi had raised her alone and fought to protect the family name. When she first went to the academy, a few bullies tried to harass her about her missing mother.
Miku went home upset and talked to her father about this. He quickly taught her how to defend herself if necessary. The next day, the bullies became physical with Miku and she knocked them both unconscious. Since then, Miku has slowly grown into her own and has become a confident young woman. When she was of age, Shi taught her the clan abilities. As most females, she was also trained under medicinal chakra but her father made sure she could hold her own in battle. He trained her in taijutsu and ninjutsu, shaping her to be a sharp student.
Now, Miku is described as a playful, sweet girl. She is easy to make friends with others and outgoing. Her confidence in herself allows her to be more genuine and open to being herself around others. At times, some would call her flirty or promiscuous but her father says it’s healthy self-discovery; although he tries to teach her discipline.
She’s gained some street smart over the years and uses it to her advantage. While studying at the academy, she looks forward to moving up the ranks. Her girly girl moments are rare to see, yet she’s very aware of her feminine qualities. Miku isn’t heavily interested in the clan’s abilities so much as her father, however she does wish to become a skilled ninja of her clan.

Current Team: N/A

Personality

The young Bayonette can be likened to a stainless steel blade: Riona's adamantine will preserves the pride of the Bayonette single-handedly; and her lacerating tongue never fails to point out the obvious.

After the final words of her father, she took on the task of leading her clan through what seemed to be a genetic affliction. Taking on all incoming threats to her clan’s honor by sheer willpower, Riona has since hardened herself to the world. She has become ruthless, and highly efficient in the shinobi arts.

The young Bayonette finds no reason to hold her tongue over basic observations, especially in regards to her peers; as weakness should be rooted out, never sparred. Hence, she comes off tactless. However, her philosophy is this: “How can one learn, if your tongue holds them back.”

From the outside, Riona may seem… masochistic; as she participates in rigorous training regiments to keep her edge. However, these actions are solely from the diligence to her clan.

History

At the age of four (4), her terminally ill father left her with a few parting words: "You're different than the rest... and don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise. There's a roaring fire behind that stare..." He saw strength, strength that would keep their fellow kinsmen safe. After a chuckle, he passed on his will to her - the need to grow stronger... and that she did.

For whatever reason, the Bayonette clan has been plagued with the sole birth of females; Riona's father, being the last (and first male) for a long time. Thus, started a long trend of soiling of Bayonette blood with those of outsider men - something that Riona wouldn't stand. In response, she took the task upon herself to challenge and utterly defeat any male that did not meet her standards.

Any that opposed her - were crushed.

Currently, she and her sister, Lizbeth, are the figureheads of the Bayonette clan. Both quite lethal and renown in the city of Lincere.

Appearance

Along with most of the females in her clan, Riona has strikingly yellow eyes. Bright, and piercing – her gaze contains her pride as a Bayonette; and her contempt for all those who oppose her.

She has relatively fair skin, marked only by recent struggles and the tattoos of her clan - which are located in a spiraling pattern on her face. Her hair is a dark red, a red so dark that the color is often assumed to be black when viewed from a distance. Her locks end around the base of her shoulders, only a few strands fall loosely down her back.

Her style in regards to clothes is nonexistent. Anything nonrestrictive in regards to fighting/training is acceptable. Comfortable clothing also works too... Contradictory, she does have a preference for "strings" in her clothing.

Notes

Nintaijutsu Practitioner

• Riona augments her dragon/leopard style of taijutsu with the quick and lacerating wind release.

Hand Seal Proficiency

• A recently learned skill - Riona possess the ability to preform one handed seals for most of her jutsu.
  
• In times requiring massive damage output, Riona will resort to the standard two handed seals. In her case, the extra hand used in her chakra manipulation, furthers the destructive might of her attacks.

Eight Gates (Equivalent) Practitioner

• Actively studies in the release of her inner chakra gates to further both her taijutsu and ninjutsu techniques.
  
• Has obtained and trained repeatedly in the Life Gate form.

Personality

Luka fits into the usual “popular” kid territory. He’s arrogant, and often quite boastful of his abilities, using them to “score” with the ladies. However, while others are all talk – Luka is quite powerful. Although, he is not the brightest bulb in the set; he is the most reliable. Luka's willingness to fight for his friends is only trumped by his dedication to win.

Luka is open-minded, and his mouth was made to match. Whatever comes to his mind, seems to just flow out - which makes him both easily readable and quite trustworthy. He loves to fight, but believes death is not the answer to anything. As those he finds a challenge in, he would prefer to fight them again for fun - out of respect.

Unsurprisingly, Luka is overly confident anytime he is challenged to a fight, or when he does the challenging himself. This fact may be due to his reasonably solid win streak.

When Caleb, his best friend, is in the picture – Luka will act as the street-wise older brother.

History

Luka was born into an atypical ninja family. Atypical, because he is the first member so far to possess the ability to wield chakra. Why this is, is a mystery – but he sure has become popular with his relatives. They would eagerly request his extravagant shows of strength during family gatherings… so it is easy to see where Luka gets his showboating tendencies.

Chakra usage has been available to him since a young age, and eventually encouraged by his folks – after many cases of bewilderment. They would help train him, but were eventually outmatched by the young Luka. The Roggero family sent him off to the Shinobi Academy in Lincere to further his ninja studies.

Luka would meet Caleb here and they would begin their "epic" friendship...

Appearance

Luka is definitely… a lady’s man. He is moderately attractive, with a full head of shaggy dark hair that loosely falls over his face. However, thanks to a bet, he shaved most of it off – leaving only a tuft of hair on the front of his forehead, which falls between his eyes.… Initially okay with the look, he soon donned a ski cap. The hat, quite dark in color, only helps to highlight his gorgeous sky blue eyes.

Personality

The reserved creative type – Caleb usually sticks to himself, coming up with new ninja techniques or working with his skates; and unless Luka Roggero is around to annoy him, Caleb will happily just kept to his notebook.

Introverted, Caleb prefers his own company – and he dislikes battles. The pressure of winning, or impressing officials, is often too much for him to handle. He is passive, unless around those he is around people he has gotten to know or trust. Usually the first to suggest fleeing or retreat – he will never be the first up to battle…

…Unless he has a new ninjutsu/gadget to try. "If that's the case, the good outweighs the bad." He is always eager to test out new ideas he’s come up with – invention being his motivation. He is at his best when in his element.

History

Caleb has been born into a relatively unheard of clan. The Mugarra clan usually stuck to themselves, and out of the lime light; often preferring to focus more on normal life than the life of a shinobi.

Caleb is the offspring of a Lincere convenience store owner, who has since retired from ninja life, and his wife – a retired medical ninja. They would have since preferred for their son to refrain from joining the shinobi ranks – but they noticed he had an aptitude for creating jutsu, the likes that have never been seen before. Furthermore, the boy’s intelligence seemed to grow exponentially when introduced to new bits of information.

So, Caleb with the well wishes of his folk - was sent of the ninja academy to hone his "unique" skill set. Fortunately for him, this is where he met Luka, his first friend.

Caleb would eventually create his chakra powered rollerblades that uses chakra to eliminate friction from under his feet, and at times – cut through the air.

Appearance

Caleb is… average looking. He wears circular rimmed glasses, and a shaved haircut. He has crimson red eyes – so deep and fierce in color, that it’s ironic that such a passive shinobi has them. His muscle build is okay – not as toned as a regular fighter such as Luka, but enough to be considered “active.” His skin is caramel in color and nearly free of blemishes – aside from the occasional scratch or bruise from "invention" testing.

Notes

Multiple Nature Use Practitioner

• Alongside his dear friend, Luka Roggero, Caleb has begun learning to use a new element (Earth Release) to compliment his natural affinity (Lightning Release).

Creative Design

• Caleb's high intelligence and unbridled creativity allow for him to make many "new" weapons and jutsu techniques.
  
• Currently revealed creations:
  
  1. Chakra Rollerblade - Made from chakra adsorbing wood, and common mechanical objects. Using a steady stream of chakra, Caleb can reach extremely high speeds. Depending on how much chakra he expands, his speed can vary between instantaneous bursts to a steady above average speed.
     
  2. Summoning Tattoo - Located on both of his ankles, Caleb is able to easily don his rollerblades for times of use. Otherwise, he prefers going barefoot.
     
  3. Electromagnetic Jutsu - Using his lightning release, Caleb magnetizes the very ground beneath him to form large structures/objects. These objects include, but are not limited to: suits of armor, large gauntlets, boulders, and swords.
     
  4. Stay tuned for more...

Stat Change

• When using his skates his speed is 4 - otherwise, his speed is 2.
  
• One of Caleb's offensive techniques is the previously mentioned electromagnetic jutsu (Suit). After he dons said suit, his stats change to:

Rank: - Medic/Academy Student

Weaponry: Wooden Staff (Primary)/ Leaf Blade (Secondary)
Jutsu: Plant—Earth/Water Release
Taijutsu: Defensive Style- focused on balance and countering/dodging
Nature type: Earth Affinity


Personality

Straight as an arrow, collected and impossible to insult, Kohaku is seen as a kindhearted guardian figure to those he cares for. He frequently is great support to those around them and is typically seen with a smile on his face. Compassionate to a fault and wise beyond his years, he always treats those around him with respect.

Driven by his personally code, he treats both injured enemies and allies indiscriminately should they become injured. Due to his high moral code, Kohaku will never let any harm come to either his comrades or those who attempt to protect them. He refuses to give up when he believes something is wrong and will break a rule to do what is right. He is also quite perceptive and has an eye for unusual behavior.

Known as a great peacemaker and negotiator, Kohaku is gifted with a silver tongue and generally appeasing nature. As such he tends to disfavor combat, unless he is prompted or given orders to engage in it. His distain for combat tends to hinder his full participation in fights for he is a doctor, trained to heal the wounded, before he is a shinobi, one who is meant to inflict wounds—that is not to say he isn’t skillful at it, but rather he prefers more diplomatic means of settling disputes.

In his spare time, Kohaku is often found working in his clinic or caring for his plants. He has a knack for gardening and tends to grow many useful plants.


Appearance

http://galexi.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoid=129171739

Just as his collected personality would suggest, Kohaku also posses a kind look about him. Short for his age is body is also slender in build, thus allowing him to be more agile. He tends to dress very plainly and in a style that allows him to blend in well.

Although, there is one aspect of his garbs that remains constant—he is always seen with a scarf around his neck, regardless of the weather. The scarf is used to conceal the scar upon his throat and the remnants of the mechanical voice box beneath the surface. Though he possesses an internal electrolarynx, after receiving a neck wound that damaged his voice box, his speech is exceedingly normal with only the slight hint of its mechanical nature (only enough so that one can tell that it is a artificial voice).


History

Little is honestly known about Kohaku other than he was a prodigy regarding the medical arts and even at an early age surpassed both of his parents. After that his story is full of holes. He claims to have lived in Ebas for a while but that is not the place he was born. For unknown reasons he left the north about two years ago and just recently settled down in Lincere to open his clinic and attend the academy in the past year. He does not speak of his family, yet if he does, he does so fondly and with a sense of nostalgia.

It is just ironic that he is so willing to help others yet does not let people get close enough to him to know his story; though its not through a sense of distrust but rather he doesn't want to bore people with his details.

Personality

Filled to the brim with arrogance, Shen is a very proud individual of both his heritage and his skills. Possessing a raging sense of ambition, he seeks to prove himself above all else. Gifted with a mastery of false flattery, a sophisticated and slightly outdated speech style laced with sarcasm and the motivation to be very conniving, he comes across as a very cold individual.

His ruthlessness and prideful attitude were originally the contributing causes for concern regarding his rise to power; few could compare to his overwhelming resolve, thus earning him the title of the Rising Dragon (this title being given to him when he was only five years old). Being stricken by an illness did nothing other than fan the flames of his resolve forcing him to become more determined than before to uphold his pride and prove his worth.

Some describe him as "the man who was cursed by the Heavens with the gifts of intelligence and aptitude, but unfortunately was not given time." In combat he as a firm control over his use of weaponry and every single step he takes is deliberate. Though he may appear to be slacking off to taunt his opponent, be wary that he always has some trick up his sleeve.

In his spare time, Shen enjoys training, cleaning/creating his weaponry, occasional napping, and nightly walks. Though he is quite skilled at writing, he does so rarely, however, he is known for making poetic comparisons.


Appearance
http://galexi.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoid=131223662
http://galexi.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoid=131751356


Physically fit yet slender in build, Shen posses an intimidating and unapproachable aura about him. His mannerisms are saturated with nobility, yet they may also occasionally betray his combative nature. His fine hair is kept long and in a well presented condition and he possesses a tied up portion used to represent his nobility. Due to his illness, the hair on top of his head has turned completely white, however, his eyebrows remain to be their original dark color and his skin has adopted a pallor state.

Buried within his long robes, he wears multiple layers of expensive cloth and has the tendency to hide his hands crossed within his long, bell shaped sleeves, like one does with kimono sleeves. Underneath his robes he hides away scars from training along his body and upon his left arm he bears a Chinese styled dragon tattoo that coils around his full arm. It should be noted that he is a master at concealed weaponry and always has multiple forms of weapons upon his person, regardless of the garbs he is in.


History

Born as the sole legitimate son to the Emperor and Empress of the Forbidden City—located upon the island closest to Lincere and on a clear day the massive, luxurious palace can be seen shimmering to the south.

Contrary to what his lineage and incomparable wealth would suggest, Shen is not the spoiled stereotypical child of the rich and privileged. Instead, he has spent the majority of his life undergoing multiple forms of tutelage. He is well versed in the arts of war, politics, languages, and many others of the essential skills needed for one who was once to be the future Emperor of the realm.

Yet, all was not to be according to plan. As the young prince grew in terms of skill as did his disfavored personality. Growing fearful of what this young man was becoming it was almost as if fate stepped in to mediate and struck the rising dragon with a terminal illness, thus tearing him asunder from the line of succession. Instead of the crown going to the legitimate son of the Emperor, Shen, it was privately announced that his younger half brother, the six-year-old son of one of the Emperor’s concubines, would be named the heir. (However, such information has yet to reach the public’s knowledge.)

Enraged by his parent’s decision, Shen fled the palace, vowing only to return when he could do so honorably— by discrediting their feeble expectations. Thus far, very few actually know of his ailment and he persistently keeps it to remain under the radar.

Ninkenjutsu Practioner
A term used to describe a combination of Kenjutsu and Ninjutsu, using jutsu to coat his weapons thus augmenting their speed and power.


-Weapon Specialist
Give Shen a weapon and he can figure out a good use for it within moments. He is terrifyingly skilled at concealing weapons within his clothes and is noted for favoring a few over the others. Within his sleeves he is known for carrying multiple kinds of projectile weapons that he can use either in a flurry attack pattern or release them individually with pinpoint accuracy.


Throwing Knives
Shen's knives are unique and likely custom-built, as they appear to be forged into the shape of large feathers, likely so Shen can hide them in the folds of his elegant robe. The tips of the quills are akin to senbon, whilst the feather blades are saw-like regarding their tips.

Sword/Spear
His signature weapon is a multi-purpose curved blade with an extendable handle thus allowing him to use it as a sword or pole-arm hidden in his sleeve. Using a blade/spear as his primary weapon, Shen has become proficient enough to allow him to strike multiple times through various sword stance styles without any difficulty. Though he is ambidextrous, thus very adaptable, he tends to only use one hand whilst fighting, preferring to keep the other one open.

Fan
A seemingly harmless foldable hand fan with an extended handle actually turns out to be a bladed metal device capable of cleaving much like a sword or a dagger.

Personality

An extremely mature and calm individual, Yoshida values these aspects above all else. He has utter resentment for those who act immature, and thus he’s pretty much a loner.

His punk-like appearance is slightly odd considering it contradicts his mature façade he displays. He usually takes responsibility and tends to avoid violence when possible. He follows a philosophy taught to him by his Grandfather, which states “Follow the path with the least bloodshed.”

Whilst in battle, he becomes a darker person, seeking fear as well as hesitation, waiting for the opportune moment to strike.
In his spare time, Yoshida enjoys cooking, something he is surprisingly good at. He also has a particular liking for small animals.


History

Yoshida was born in Coronova city, the largest and most advanced city in which technology and commerce flourish. His family, the Kazehiro, consist mostly of Politicians, himself being only the second shinobi to grace their bloodline - the first being his Grandfather, a well known assassin.

From early childhood, his Grandfather intended to teach him every skill he possessed, however, due to his sudden tragic death during a deadly mission, Yoshida’s dreams of becoming a shinobi seemed to come to an abrupt end.

His father began teaching him politics, enthralled by the fact that he wouldn’t follow in the footsteps of his Grandfather. Yoshida couldn’t put up with it any longer. He left his father and his family, to continue his education as a shinobi in Lincere, the shinobi capital – Pursuing his dreams as his Grandfather would have wanted him to.

Appearance

https://i.servimg.com/u/f28/15/88/10/70/yoshid10.png
Yoshida is average height, toned, with sharp features. He has short black hair with vibrant royal purple eyes. He also has a series of piercings, with one on his right eyebrow and three on his left and right ear. His hair has longer front bangs, parted to the left, which reach over his eyes, the rest in a spiked fashion.
Overall, his look reflects a very ‘punk’ look, contrary to his mature attitude.

Name: Hiroto, Ayumi
Age: 16
Height: 5'7"
Gender: Female
Status/ Occupation: Student at academy
Specialized weaponry: None
Chakra type/specialization: Shadow/Void

Kekkei Genkai:
Hypnotizing/stunning/paralyzation though eye contact. Only certain Kagemusha of the Kokuei Clan possess this trait and the genes for it are recessive. When Ayumi activates her ability, her normally blue-gray eyes transform into a pupil-less yellow, and when she makes eye contact with an opponent, her enemy will become temporarily hypnotized or stunned. Three stages exist, though each increasing stage involves more and more energy.

Stage one is stunning for s few seconds with eye contact, which currently is the level Ayumi is at, considering her age and level of training.

Stage two involves longer eye contact, by which the user can effectively paralyze his or her opponent, mentally hypnotizing them to see only the user's mesmerizing yellow eyes for a few, up to several, seconds.

Stage three, the most energy draining of the three, allows the user to completely hypnotize his or her opponent, causing his or her enemy to do what they wish. When his or her opponent "comes to", they remember nothing of their hypnotized period. However, due to the extreme drain of the third stage, and needing an almost colossal amount of energy to even keep it up for more than a few seconds, the one or two Kagemusha who manage to achieve the stage rarely, if ever, use it.

Personality:
In Ayumi's everyday behavior, she gives the appearance of being withdrawn from the center of activity, yet those who know her will recognize the watchfulness that is part of her character. Ayumi possesses an acquired, great self-discipline, aloofness, silence, caution, and focus per her growing up with strict Kokuei Clan parents, treating her elders and sensei with honor and respect. She also knows her nature and abilities, under certain circumstances, could be used for great good, or great evil.

To Ayumi, although she is somewhat of a blood purist due to her Clan's ideology, to her, those that believe that blood purity alone makes a shinobi superior to others, believe in a foolish lie. Rather, to Ayumi, blood purity alone does not make a good shinobi; rather, the shinobi's abilities to be well-rounded, even superior, make the best of ninja, though possessing a Kekkei Genkai helps.

Similarly to a young, female Sherlock Holmes, Ayumi's primary method of learning is deductive reasoning, which she implements in her studies with ease. While far from a genius intelligence, Ayumi is gifted in the realm of knowledge, though her memory is selective at best, strongest in her areas of interest, and her disdain for her weak subjects apparent. However, her family demands, and has taught Aumi to demand, perfection of her, so even though she struggles with her "weak" subjects, she tries her best.

While she respects all the sensei at the Academy to upkeep her family's deep-seated honor, she does not possess the same kind of respect for her fellow students, some of which she views as "childish" and "immature".

Unlike the typical insufferable know-it-all, however, Ayumi's secret is silence. To most of her peers, she appears to be the silent type, observing her peers' actions and behaviors in almost an eerie manner. To some, she seems odd, even "creepy", while others know of her Clan and either fear or respect her for her infamous lineage.

Since beginning her tenure at the Academy, Ayumi has taken up her studies very seriously, and enjoys spending her alone time reading. Removing herself from the normally clique-based, highly social environment of the rest of the "normal" girls, Ayumi considers herself their superior simply because her memory is quite sharp, and prefers to spend a lot of time vesting in her education. In fact Ayumi's philosophy is "Knowledge is power if used correctly", which she believes distinguishes from the "know-it-alls" not just by obtaining knowledge, but using it to her advantage to gain influence, affluence, and power.

Appearance:
Since birth, Ayumi has grown to look much like her mother in face and body, though she carries her father's stern, stoic, and solemn gaze most of the time, almost never smiling.

Bearing a heart-shaped face with a widow's peak, Ayumi possesses long, straight black hair with a healthy sheen to it, which she usually wears down or in a ponytail, or a bun for more formal occasions. Like her mother and most of the Kokeui Clan, Ayumi has dark, almost black, blue-gray eyes set in a slanted, almond shape that is larger than normal in size, framed by thick, long lashes. Her thin lips usually purse into a grim line, and her nose, while proportionate to her facial features, is on the thinner side, while her ear lobes are normal, not attached.

In terms of body type, Ayumi is a slender girl with an hourglass shape, slight curves and longer legs, but thin arms and an almost delicate, mask-like look to her. Like the others in her Clan, Ayumi possess pale, milky white skin, which goes in contrast to the traditional dark clothes she wears. For clothing, Ayumi wears shade of black, deep purple, and deep navy blue, with black shoes, and the occasional black netting or mesh to match her black hair and dark eyes.

Annichole1359's Michiko Hatake would be a good comparison.

Adult (Art by aditya777 on DeviantART)

History:
Though from a relatively secretive, clandestine clan of ninjas, Ayumi, from a young age, grew up in a rigid, austere household. From the moment she learned to crawl, her parents, especially her father, taught her basic skills and demanded success, sometimes "disciplining" Ayumi for her mistakes and perceived failures. By the age of ten, she could speak three local dialects, and by the time of her enrollment at the academy, her parents both expected great things to come of their child. A member of the Kokuei Clan, before Ayumi even entered the world, when her mother became pregnant, her parents expected nothing less than the best for, and from, their child.

A newlywed couple, Hiroko Katashi and his bride, Takeshi Shinobu, both of the Kokeui Clan, married not for love, but due to a marriage that would unite their families and assure more powerful children for them. One of the only two families in the Clan with the gene for their special Kekkei Genkai, the Hiroko family for decades had carefully arranged each marriage to preserve and keep the gene in their family. When Hiroko Katashi, the eldest son, became one of the most powerful shinobi in the Clan and a key adviser to the Clan leader, the Hiroko family achieved great honor to their name. Soon Hiroko Katashi asked for the hand in marriage of the Clan leader's younger sister, Takeshi Shinobu, and within three months the two were married. Some of the Clan think that due to being close to the Clan leader, Hiroko Katashi managed to get her hand in marriage, as the Takeshi family only allowed the "best of the best" shinobi to marry their family members.

For centuries, the Kokuei Clan abode by a "Spartan" code of ethics, intense fighting and chakra training, and strict arranged marriages, though every once in a while a Kokuei member was allowed to marry out of the clan as long as it benefited the clan through stronger, talented offspring. According to legend, and the chief myth of the clan, their clan founder and forefather, Takeshi Yasu, established these strict principles after discovering, or turning to, what most considered "dark" or "evil" chakra at the time. Though Takeshi Yasu only wanted to live and use his chakra specialty in peace, his village turned on him and tried to kill him, an angry mob chasing him out and forcing him into exile. Retreating deep into the vast Asura Forest on the mountainside of Mt. Ebas, Takeshi Yasu founded the Kokuei Clan, building a new village, which Yasu named Kagegakure, or "The Village Hidden in the Shadows", amid the deep fog that coated the forested landscape.

For the first few centuries after its founding, the Kokuei Clan lived in relative peace, led by Takeshi Yasu, who took the role of their first Clan leader, and over time grew from a few numbers to three times their size due to new recruits and having many children. Under Takeshi Yasu's leadership, the Clan developed a caste system of sorts, ranking those from birth depending on their personal abilities. Seeking powerful, skilled ninjas for defense, and offense if needed, those who learned the shadow chakra's advanced abilities became "shadow warriors", or Kagemusha, made up the Clan's warrior caste. Others who did not adapt to the Clan's strict code and showed less than perfect fighting and chakra abilities were sorted into the healer, artisan, hunter, or herder castes. However, sooner or later some outsider was going to stumble across their "secret" village, and sure enough, eventually a few passersby "discovered" the Koukei Clan and spread word of it throughout the land.

Despite being a relatively remote people, the Kokuei Clan soon experienced a flood of outsiders, some friendly and curious, other hostile, while others still sought to hire some of the Kagemusha as private assassins or spies for other villages or individuals. Soon after, the new Clan leader, Takeshi Yasu's eldest son, Takeshi Ryuu, closed off the village from most "outsiders" after he and the top Clan Kagemusha deemed that any of those not of the Clan could be a dangerous threat. After that, only merchants, artisans, and farmers were allowed to come into the village, and even then, only at the discretion of the Kagemusha guards, who decided whether each newcomer was a threat or not. To this day, the Kokuei Clan remains isolationist, viewing the outside world as possible enemies or threats and focusing on their own harsh existence and survival.

To the present day, the Kokuei Clan is both feared and admired, for their great fighting skills and ninjutsu, as well as the fact that they specialize in shadow and "void" chakra, and some are hired mercenaries or assassins. At the same time, they are a mysterious people, their village "shadowed" in fog and protected by the vast expanse of forest and wilderness that surround their remote establishment.

Only recently did the Hiroko family, seeking the best of education for their daughter, look beyond the Kokuei Clan village and decide to enroll her at the Academy. Though few other Kagemusha joined the Hiroko family, since her enrollment, Ayumi has done nothing but excel, working very hard to improve her skills to become the best ninja she can be.

Name: Elliot Gant
Age: 14
Height: 6'0
Gender: Male
Status/ Occupation: Student at academy
Specialized weaponry: Clawed gauntlets
Chakra type/specialization: Earth/tunneling, trap-setting

Personality:
Hailing from what he fallaciously considers a “dynasty,” Elliot is slightly complacent in his skills, especially his specialty burrowing. Elliot nonetheless seeks to surpass his father and establish himself beyond the shinobi among him. Though not to the point of psychopathy, Elliot could be called ruthless, able to break emotional attachments easily should they become threatening or overly inconvenient.

Appearance:
In addition to his gauntlets, Elliot keeps a heavy brown jacket on most of the time and wears fatigues and steel-toed boots, the latter of which somewhat augment his burrowing ability. Elliot himself is stocky, with a mess of black hair, and often seems to be in a state of content or bemusement.

History:
Elliot’s father Gerald was a little-recognized, but still accomplished ninja who developed and mastered a number of offensive burrowing techniques; by the end of his formal career, he was able to dig through stone and concrete and set traps within it. Gerald was also something of a recluse, marrying Elliot’s mother on a whim based on her physical attractiveness and generally un-provoking personality, and grew estranged from her even before Elliot was born.

Elliot’s early years were spent primarily with his mother, whilst his father took to a cabin in the woods and only visited on occasion. Nevertheless, Elliot took a great liking to his father, and begged his mother to visit him more often; sometimes when she would not escort him, Elliot made the trek himself. Whenever Elliot visited him, Gerald thought nothing of telling the boy stories and giving him basic ninja training.

Eventually Elliot began making the trek to his father’s cabin more and more often, leading the mother to feel abandoned by both men in her life. Thinking Elliot was unhappy at home, his mother asked if Gerald would take her boy in to stay with him at the age of 12. Gerald did so and taught Elliot a number of ninja basics as well as his tunneling techniques during that time, but began to feel stifled after only a year, and consequentially sent Elliot for formal training at a ninja academy.

Name: Rebecca Kline
Age: 14
Height: 5'7
Gender: Female
Status/ Occupation: Student at academy
Specialized weaponry: Metal wires, a number of self-made weapons kept primarily within a metal box with straps, which she wears like a backpack
Chakra type/specialization: Lightning/tool-making

Personality:
Rebecca is usually absorbed within "her own little world," detached from the world around her; she is like this out of a sense of being "overwhelmed" more than anything, prone to a sort of "culture shock" from contrasting her previous life with that of a shinobi. When she comes out of her shell, it is normally because her opponent is too strong to take lightly, bringing her to shift instead to a less stable inner-self, fluctuating between dead-serious, playful, and madly overconfident. After these fugues, Rebecca is prone to silent and solemn introspection.

Appearance:
Rebecca is of average height with a thin but healthy build. Her eyes are normally open wide in a 50-yard stare with an uncertain facial expression. Rebecca wears a blue kimono over a simple shirt and pair of shorts, with sandals on her feet.

History:
Rebecca's parents were independently wealthy. The two provided her a sheltered upbringing within which her imagination grew, but were murdered one day by employees of her engineer father, bitter over what they considered meager pay. At first Rebecca retreated further into her imagination, entrusting justice to the proper authorities; when no truly incriminating evidence could be found to bring the killers to justice however, Rebecca found a morbid and insatiable drive for vengeance within herself.

Having some experience constructing toys and models from scraps of machinery her father brought home, she began constructing weapons with odds and ends, then dug out some of her father's work records and managed to track down one of the attackers with the intent of ending his life. Killing one of the men somewhat satisfied Rebecca's thirst for blood, but it also bent her unshaped mind into the mindset of a killer, driven less by "motives" and more by the insane thought that the life of a shinobi was surely the destiny of someone so adept at constructing and using killers' tools. She applied for a ninja academy and took to the material immediately, with a mix of childish wonder and killing intent.

Name: Paul Bierce
Age: 15
Height: 5'5
Gender: Male
Status/ Occupation: Student at academy
Specialized weaponry: A number of cursed objects, ink wells for seal-making on the fly
Chakra type/specialization: Wind/sealing jutsu, tags

Personality:
For all he dwells in death and dirt, Paul is rarely outright morbid, though his clan’s isolation and previous mediocrity in the shinobi world has left him with an eccentric personality and an inferiority complex to boot. Paul seems like the suspicious sort due not only to his focus towards personal-betterment above a sense of duty, but for his slight distrust of most others stemming from the aforementioned complex (always believing there are people out to take advantage of his "lower status," not believing he is truly as proficient as people may say he is, and that those "even below him" want nothing more than to get him out of the way).

Appearance:
Paul wears all black "traditional" shinobi gear; puffed pants with sandals, a top section of clothing with netting near the neckline and sleeves. This is covered, however, with a shawl acting as a coat, and a wide brimmed hat. Paul also wears a dust mask around his neck, which he often pulls over his nose and mouth when in combat.

History:
Paul comes from a small clan of oft-berated funeral workers whose few candidates for shinobi life never excelled past the lowest ranks. Paul made it a personal goal of his to bring a measure of honor to his clan, and to himself, by becoming an accomplished ninja. He was taught basics by the few members of the clan who had even partial success as shinobi, and built from this knowledge as well as his clan's near-forgotten background in mysticism to teach himself about a few sealing and summoning techniques, related to curses and the like. Afterwards, he took to the ninja academy to make his skills viable in the field of true ninja work.

Name: Kazuo Ishikawa ( Kazuo is his first name )
Age: 16
Height: 5’8
Gender: Male
Status/ Occupation: Student
Specialized weaponry: None
Chakra type/specialization: Wind

Personality:
No-one has ever come close to being able to portray Kazuo’s personality with any degree of adequacy. He is truly unique, often regarded as “punk”, which is not exactly the case. He is almost always seen as a cool guy by his peers, the females especially. He is incredibly laid back and relaxed, often found chilling in the shade of the trees or on a riverbank. Kazuo doesn’t appear to be interested in the world around him, but rather the philosophies he creates and dreams up in his head. He is often assumed to be daydreaming or just not paying attention, but the truth is that he’s bored by what’s going on around him. He is often perceived as lazy, the reason for this being down to one of his many unique outlooks on life. Kazuo knows how skilled he is, and doesn’t see the point of proving it to others. That, to him, would be completely meaningless. Kazuo is a bit of a loner, not seeing the majority of others as his equals, something he endlessly struggles with. Many have speculated that he must feel very alone in the world, in that no one seems to be able to get properly close to him, and no one as of yet has been able to understand him. Regardless of these factors, Kazuo is actually a pleasant individual. Kazuo is also considered to be quite the genius/prodigy where his ninjutsu is concerned. For his young age of 16, he has already created several advanced techniques which have been the topic of discussion for the academy professors on many occasions. His taijutsu and speed are also highly regarded, due to his intense personal training methods.

Appearance:
Kazuo’s style is another of his unique points. He is quite tall and thin, yet with defined muscles due to his high level of physical fitness. He has medium length curly blondish brown hair and is always seen wearing black sunglasses/shades which hide his eyes. A lot of the time he is seen wearing a black beanie hat with a flame design, along with headphones (worn around his neck) which he has never been seen without. Kazuo always wears loose white t-shirts (a few sizes too big for him) and long ¾ length black combat shorts, the pockets filled with a variety of ninja gear. His main t-shirt has “OUT OF STEP” written in a punk styled font across the back. On rare occasions, Kazuo tapes up his hands and feet much like a kick-boxer, but only for inside duels.

History:
Kazuo’s parents abandoned him at a young age, resulting in him being placed in the care of one of the elder shinobi in Lincere. This man was never able to spend a lot of personal time with Kazuo due to his almost endless duties which came with his position, and as such he never experienced anything other than his own company. This is however not to say that he was neglected. On the contrary, Kazuo was well provided for in terms of nutrition as well as the remainder of life’s necessities. He was often bored as a child, which lead to him creating his own philosophies and even his own jutsu. Kazuo’s original techniques have had him labeled as some sort of visionary, unknown to be invented out of boredom. Kazuo is, however, very proud of his personal jutsu and appears to use them almost exclusively. After the passing of his guardian, Kazuo was more alone than ever, his free time almost entirely consumed by working on his taijutsu, speed and mostly, his ninjutsu development. The money his guardian left him was spent on his headphones, which hold the highest of sentimental value to him. They serve as a constant reminder to him that even though important things can be lost, this leads to more important things being gained (his guardian).

Name: Katsumi Shuuyou
Age: 16
Height: 5'10
Gender: Male
Status/ Occupation: Student
Specialized weaponry: None
Chakra type/specialization: Ice

Personality: Prideful, Self Disciplined, and a follower of the Straight Edge movement. He is a man of principles. Though many of his intentions are well meaningful, he can sometimes get arrogant, condescending, ego-maniacal, and apathetic to others who don’t share his views. When he does develop his "holier than thou" attitude, it does alienate others to the brink of violence. However in most other cases, he simply maintains a casual and laid-back attitude to others. Though he is nowhere near as perfect as he presents himself as, his strong sense of right from wrong is his most redeeming quality. He is more than capable of putting behind petty squabbles for the bigger picture during dire times. He prefers showing everyone he does a better job at protecting others, rather than just showing he can beat up his rivals.

Appearance: He wears a black hooded jacket with a grey undershirt, a black skull cap with thin bangs of black hair hanging out of said cap. His forehead protector is stitched into his skull cap. His facial complexion has some signs of stubble to it, making himself appear older than he actually is (though his height says otherwise). He has on loose and somewhat baggy grey jeans to keep his punk look going while, at the same time, not constricting his leg movement during combat. He also wears bandages wrapped around his hands with an “X” drawn on each knuckle to symbolize his straight edge lifestyle.

History: If you ask him, what he will tell you is that he is a gifted athlete and an expert at parkour. He takes pride in combat while looking flashy doing it. With a strict diet keeping him from such trivial addictives such as caffeine and constant “free-running,” he has finally deemed himself ready to begin the phase of his life into becoming a shinobi. But in truth, his past and the reason for his new, virtuous lifestyle were much darker than what has been previously let on. His father was a lowlife addict. Desperately associating himself with many criminal organizations dealing with and taking drugs himself. After one organization found out his father was taking some of the stash himself, he was gunned down in front of Katsumi at 8 years of age. Knowing full well of what his father was up to, Katsumi swore and oath of a clean lifestyle afterwards, straying himself away from his family's shady origins.

Combat Abilities:
While he is currently studying on ninjutsu, taijutsu is his main specialization. He mixes his parkour training into his leg work to combat others with a combination of kicking techniques. His hands are used as a form of defense as well as performing hand seals for abilities. Such abilities are coating his legs with a layer of thick ice which not only does frost damage, but increases the impact of the blow itself.

Name: Satoru Yuudoku
Age: 47
Height: 6’7
Gender: Male
Status/ Occupation: Sensei
Specialized weaponry: Poison coated Katana and a Bow with the same poison coating his arrowheads.
Chakra type/specialization: Poisons (listed below)

Personality:
He keeps a stoic and rather mysterious personality. He mostly focuses his attention on work as he is a gifted chemist. While he has knowledge for many recipes for poisons, he usually keeps his strongest brews tucked away due to the lack of abundance of materials. He is not prone to fighting as he once was and now spends time educating students on chemistry and poison information. He wheezes every time he talks to the point of pausing midsentence which causes some concern to his peers. Though he appears frightening, he is very calm, patient, and approachable to his students.

Appearance:
He covers his combat gear under a black, hooded robe. Under it, his black tunic and pants armed with a strap of smoke bombs and vials of poisons. He also wears a special type of gas mask at all times leaving his true face unknown to everyone else.

History:
Not much is known about him to many. Only the higher ups really know his origins. It was said that he was once a notorious political assassin but was eventually captured. Before his execution could be carried out, a life threatening plague spread like wildfire in one of the cities. A deal was reached where his life was to be spared if he could use his poison mastery to work with the Medical nin into developing a cure and neutralizing the toxins.

Combat Abilities:
Though he uses his katana when enemies are up close, he prefers ranged fighting. One reason is simply because he needs time to coat his weapons after each use but also because of his other tools. His bow is more reliable of causing poison to his enemies. He also uses poisonous gas bombs, but are in short supply. And has one final technique, the Toxic Water Dragon Jutsu that conjures up a normal Water Dragon and is poured on by his special brew to quickly turn the liquid into a searing green acidic form which he then casts upon his opponent.

Poisons:
Disorienting Poison: Alters the vision and focus of the enemy, leaving them dazed. Any wound can inflict this.
Poison of Illusion: A much more potent hallucinogenic poison than the Disorienting Poison that causes genjutsu leveled hallucinations strong enough to tap into the victim’s innermost sub-consciousness. Must strike the head for the poison to work.
Poison of Silence: Temporarily shuts down chakra control preventing the enemy from casting ninjutsu and genjutsu. Must strike a chakra point for this poison to be applied.
Poison of Paralysis: Demobilizes the enemy’s limb for 30 minutes (whichever limb the poison gets into)
Poison of Black Death: Must strike a vital area for this poison to be applied. Will kill the enemy within 10 minutes if the poison is not removed by then. (he carries a cure with him at all times).
Poison of the Berserker: Self-drinking poison that serves as a temporary, but harmful and potentially fatal boost of chakra and stamina. Can only drink once per week or will succumb to body failure.
Water Dragon Toxin: Only carries one of these per battle and can only be used once for his Toxic Water Dragon technique.

Personality

Azami’s emotions are quite unpredictable; one of her few consistent traits, is her attachment to her close friend, Rei - whose attention she frequently tries to attract. She seems to have an overall cheerful disposition in spite of hardships and misgivings, making her a sort of oddity. Azami is seemingly hyperactive and cheerful one moment and furious the next. Her horrific relationship with her father and loss of her mother at a young age seems to explain her need for affection and acknowledgement from Rei.

Any mention of her clan or father leads to a sudden personality shift, to which she will abruptly become cold and even enraged at times, breaking into random fits of yelling or quickly changing the subject altogether. Psychologically speaking, Azami is quite fragile, bi-polar even. Althouh Azami appears to be carefree; she is psychologically scarred and pathologically abusive and calculative. She mistreats her servants, and despises mostly anything relating to her clan.

She also has a particular dislike of the word “Pretty”, a direct result of her butchering her hair, due to her father calling her long hair pretty.

History

Azami was born the heir of the House of the Violet Phoenix, The Kujo family, one of the most notable noble families in the country, well known and feared due to their "Ambient Nature" Kekkei Genkai.

As liege of the Kujo clan, Azami surprisingly despises any and all mention of her clan. This is due to the fact that she suffers from sexual abuse from the clan head, her own father, from a young age up until the present time. After a prolonged period of putting up with her husband sexually abusing their daughter, Azami’s mother committed suicide, choosing rather to end her own life than to try to put a stop to it, something which greatly affected Azami’s overall outlook on life.

Azami spends most of her time with Rei, a close friend, who personally attended to her training at a young age, they’ve grown close over the years. Rei, being the one who encouraged her to join the academy, an escape from her clan and her father's abuse.


Appearance

https://i.servimg.com/u/f48/15/88/10/70/azami_10.jpg *Credit to Inari

Azami is of average height with a slender, muscular frame clearly toned from a lifetime of training. Azami is quite attractive, her face is oval-shaped and her breasts are of decent size, seemingly reflecting her voracious appetite.

Azami has burgundy light blonde hair that just barely reaches her shoulders and small, subtle spikes that are obviously styled. Azami wears a form-fitting black jumpsuit with silver lining, which bears a violet flame upon her chest, small wing decals spread across the length of her shoulders– Her clan symbol which suggests a phoenix motif. Her forearms and shins are wrapped tightly in white tape. Her eyes take on an icy blue color.

*Note
Nintaijutsu Specialist

Azami utilizes Nintaijutsu in battle, using spider style, a stlye designed by herself - which is powerful, fast, elegant, and aggressive and adding her Ambient Ninjutsu to the mix, she manipulates the temperature of the chakra she wields in her hands. A purple fire-like aura surrounds her hands, scorching hot — she strikes directly without hesitation, utilizing speed, agility, acrobatics and power to shatter opponents' defenses. For her own defense, she utilizes the cold nature of her chakra, forming the flame-like aura into a violet crystallized form of ice.

Name: Masaru, Kenji
Age: 25
Height: 6' 0"
Gender: Male
Status/ Occupation: Sensei at the Academy / Shinobi
Specialized weaponry: Steel Short Sword, Dagger
Chakra type/specialization: Earth

Personality:

Around Kenji, there is always a sense of mellowness and relaxation, as Kenji tends to be a very easy going guy who will start, and keep going, a conversation with most people. An outgoing, gregarious, warm and friendly sort of fellow, Kenji likes to talk to people to enjoy their company, and to learn more about them, and most times he is genuine with his listening and attention.

Unlike some other conniving people, Kenji figuratively has a heart of gold at times, while at others, his devious, trickster side takes over, conning his opponents with well placed traps. This is especially true with duels, and more recently, when teaching his students, in which Kenji always comes up with new ideas of how to ensnare and dupe his opponents using misdirection, mind tricks, and illusion.

While friendly, with a great sense of humor and wit, the kind to joke about everything, Kenji does take other aspects of his life very seriously. These include his sensei duties, watching out for younger students, making sure that none of his opponents are physically injured due to his antics, and making sure that he does his very best to teach his students about the shinobi arts.

While Kenji would never pass up the opportunity to have a fun time by harmlessly, yet at times humiliatingly, pranking opponents, he does bear a respect for other sensei and would never dare play tricks on said sensei...unless he knew he could get away with it.

Overall, Kenji's personality bears this sort of quaint, genuine charm, combined with a usually sunny, positive attitude around others whatever the house. A misfit child from parents from different clans, Kenji doesn't care for any notions of Clan rivalry or blood purity, and tries to be friendly and polite to everyone, whether they be stranger, sensei, or student. He presents himself as balanced, diplomatic, and tries his best to prevent any sort of conflict, as he dislikes it greatly himself.

A kind young man, Kenji loves the idea of young ladies liking him and will go out of his way to even hilarious lengths to get their attention. When courting a young woman, Kenji will act as best as he can like a gentleman, upholding his lady's honor at all costs and working to compromise with her on her wants, and being sensitive to her needs.

However, some consider and call him a "pervert" for making dirty jokes or explicit references. When meeting a woman he finds even remotely attractive, he will try to flirt with her, much to the exasperation of his fellow, more mature shinobi. Some just consider Kenji plain "immature" for his age.

In combat, however, Kenji transforms from an easygoing, down to earth guy into a fighting machine, and if he can sense he is much more skilled than his opponents, if he has time, he will toy with them and make crude jokes. While so-so in ninjutsu, he is very skilled at Taijutsu and Genjutsu, and will use these as his primary fighting style.

A self-proclaimed expert on close combat, over his years as a traveler, Kenji spent some time with a blacksmith and weapons forger, learning how to forge his own weapons; however, he prefers short swords, knives, and daggers. Occasionally, he will use throwing stars, but mostly sticks to those two kinds of weapons.

Appearance:

Standing at about six feet tall, Kenji possesses orange-brown hair and vivid green eyes, along with symmetrical facial features, notably marked by a spray of freckles. His hair, short cropped, sometimes grows out to the point of having messy bangs or a disheveled look, though he tries to keep it as tamed as he can. Kenji also possesses a shapely nose that looks slightly Roman, full lips, an angular face, normally lobed ears, and dimples when he smiles.

He always makes sure to shave, and only on very rare instances will he look unshaven. Kenji is one of the types of men who try to make themselves look at least somewhat decent, if not formal, in order to try and show some respect to his sensei reputation, as well as looking well groomed.

Kenji looks like your average guy, for the most part, and wouldn't stand out in a crowd unless you looked for him. A built young man, Kenji tries his best now to work out when he can in order to attract more good-looking women, and has since encountered some success. More often than not, Kenji likes to wear normal or traveler's clothes, especially since he is a free spirit and considers himself a 'vagabond'.

History:

To tell the truth, Kenji's life history isn't a very interesting one, nor is he descended or part of any royalty or aristocracy, but a commoner through and through.

For decades, his family had lived in the city of Lincere, and his father, from a Clan of Earth-chakra ninja, came from the forests to the South. Migrating to Lincere to make his living as a merchant and trader, and tired of farming the land like his father and fathers before him, Masaru Yoshi saved up what little he had and set up shop. There, Kenji's father met his future mother, who was training as a medical shinobi at the time and a very gifted healer, though her chakra element [from her respective Clan] was Water. Like any other ordinary couple, the two fell in love, tied the knot, and moved in together, settling in a small space above the shop that Kenji's father rented from the property owner.

Within two years, the newlywed bride conceived and gave birth to the couple's first child, a boy who they named Marasu Kenji, and over the years had many other children. The oldest of the bunch, Kenji helped out his father with his shop and deliveries for a few years as he got older, and when Marasu Yoshi finally was able to make enough to hire actual employees, Kenji enrolled at the Academy. Like any wannabe shinobi, Kenji attended the institution and eventually graduated, being assigned to two other teammates, whom he worked well with for a few years. However, all good things come to an end, and eventually, wanting to go out and see the world, Kenji took his leave and became a traveler, setting out to see other lands and areas of the world.

After three years of traveling, Kenji at last returned to the city of Lincere, and soon after became a shinobi at the Academy.

Academy Grad Age: 13
Proper Shinobi Age: 15
Current Team:

• Dual Shinobi Team: Partnered with Ato Cantina

Personality

When compared to her younger sister, Riona - Lizbeth is nothing less than the "Wild Child." Since the death of her father, she has been the head of the clan, meeting any challenges that appeared over the eleven year span.

Lizbeth's mannerisms are often considered casual - and at her worse, invasive. She will not hesitate to belittle your actions (deserving of course); and she will get in your face to do so. Furthermore, acknowledging the one skill female shinobi have over their male equivalent, she is purposely seductive. However, this fact only applies to her clothing - otherwise, her allure lies in her natural charm.

She's a jockster around those that know her, and a shinobi who takes very little serious in regards to her job. Her lust for a good challenge at this time of her life, is only surpassed for her devotion to her family - specifically Riona.

However, recent events have left Lizbeth a tad worn. After a decade of service, she is now questioning her purpose as a shinobi...

History

At the age of twelve (12), Lizbeth watched on as her father died - and with his passing, she became the current head of her clan. This new found duty dropped on uneasy shoulders, as she found herself not only representing the Bayonetta to the outside world... but fending off assaults from other branches of the family, who felt they could do better.

Her only option was to excel; excel to a point where no one could question her authority... and thus, she did. Over the last eleven years, she has sat upon her throne with a smug look of superiority. Her strength was unquestionable at this point, and Lincere was proud to have her as an asset. She was partnered with Ato Cantina after leaving the academy, and they have been together ever since...

Although, she is current pinnacle of her clan, during her leave for missions - the job falls to Riona, arguably the second strongest of the modern Bayonetta clan.

Appearance

As such with a Bayonette, Lizbeth's eyes are devastatingly yellow in color. According to many, her bewitching eyes sparkle akin to an everyday diamond.

She is tall, and "lanky" according to her sister. However, Lizbeth does possess more than a few curves - and is highly sought after. She choose to don her clan's tattoos upon her body, leaving her face heavenly unblemished.

Her hair is of a swart red color; dark enough for people to mistake her hair color with black. Her hair falls to her shoulder, relaxed in tone with a small hint of wildness to give it life.

Notes

Kekkei Genkai: Glass Release

• With mastery over the Bayonetta kekkei genkai, Lizbeth uses Glass Release to both confuse and ravage her foe in a multitude of ways.

Eight Gates (Equivalent) Practitioner

• Lizbeth is well versed in the activation of her inner chakra gates. Mastering them to such a degree, that she can limit the release to specific limbs - to lessen both strain and increase damage.
  
• As of now, Lizbeth has opened up to the Wonder Gate form. However, she typically limits herself to activating the Pain Gate form for increased longevity.

Hand Seal Proficiency

• Lizbeth has mastered the ability of performing one-handed seals.
  
• Accordingly, as her sister - she can use both of her hands to form more destructive techniques.
  
• Lizbeth also has mastered the ability of interweaving hand seals for different jutsu. She can preform up to three techniques simultaneously.
