[attr="class","nintales-break"].
[attr="class","nintales-body"]
As Ninja Tales is an alternate universe (au) site, we do not allow characters from the Naruto or Boruto canon universe to be played. However, there are still a number of key roles throughout the world that can be filled by original characters. You can find a list below of these roles. Please note the rules regarding activity, multiple canons, absences, and reservations below.[break][break]
Looking for a position in a clan? You can create your own to be approved by a staff member or check out the positions open in all existing clans, both custom and otherwise, on this board.
You must post in-character at least once every ten days with a canon position. Leniency may be granted depending on site population and other factors, but it is up to the member to let staff know they are still active. Once you lose a canon, it will stay open for five days for others to try out for it before you reapply.
Members are allowed to have multiple canon positions within reason (1-2 unless otherwise justifiable). Those with multiple canons, regardless of whether they are applied on a single character or spread across multiple, will be monitored more closely in terms of writing quality and activity.
[attr="class","nintales-subtitle"]三 LEADERSHIP AND CANON RESPONSIBILITY,
[attr="class","nintales-body"]
For canons holding political importance, such as the kage, daimyō, or council members— it is your responsibility to upkeep our ‘village’ by forming alliances or making enemies, creating events etc. You are expected to display the leadership that your character has applied and been accepted for.
[attr="class","nintales-subtitle"]四 APPLY USING THE TEMPLATE PROVIDED BELOW,
[blockquote][blockquote] [b]POSITION:[/b] What canon(s) do you want? [b]MEMBER:[/b] Who are you? [b]RANK:[/b] The rank of your desired character (academy student, genin, chūnin, jōnin, etc.) [b]PLANS:[/b] What do you intend to do with the character? You don't need to write a novel, but give staff an idea of how you intend to put the canon to work within the site's plot. [b]ABILITIES:[/b] Again, a novel isn't necessary. Just give the staff an idea of what the character's specialization is. This area is especially important for jinchūriki to let the staff know if their character has control of their tailed beast or not. [b]RP Sample:[/b] We expect a lot out of the members who apply for our special positions on the site, show us what you got. "half-ass" will not be accepted. For anti-plagiarism purposes, It has to be a fresh RP sample with something related to our site- having your character included. [/blockquote][/blockquote]

[attr="class","nintales-break"].
[attr="class","nintales-body"]
The following canons pertain to a character’s abilities separate from their kekkei genkai or natural talents.

[break][break] Members of the Ōtsutsuki clan are the canonical antagonists on Ninja Tales. If you have any questions on how they should operate and the direction your character can go, contact Mitsurugi-sama .

POSITION: Sage of open (Eagle/Bird) MEMBER: Xylo RANK: genin | jonin(ANBU) | Raikage(havent made up my mind) PLANS: Kage: Same as genin except at this point Hiko would want to just be a great shinobi and a pillar in his village. He wants to be reknown enough to raise Kumogakure as the greatest power in the shinobi world. He plans on inspiring the village to be cunning with word that'll allow him to influence the masses into war so that he at the end sit on top of the ninja world.
Jonin: Same as genin but be a member of ANBU (Kumo equivalent) and go on legendary assassination and recon missions. Overcome his personal demons. Hopefully gets a squad under him. The option of obtaining the role of Raikage and/or assassinating the position is about the same.
Genin/Root: Seek to transcend the limitations of the mortal world, Hiko will be on a spiritual quest to achieve enlightenment. This quest involves overcoming personal goals, communion with nature, and seeking out wise mentors who can guide them on the path to enlightenment. ABILITIES: -Enhanced vision (Telescopic and can trace and track movement) -Flight -Enhanced reflexes and base movement speed -Wind style attacks are enhanced to a great degree -Talons (natural) -Bird Based jutsu -Feather Manipulation -Heightened Awareness -Falconer (Bird whisperer) RP Sample: Hiko was raised within Kumogakure in a small village that lay along the mountainside and carried rugged terrain. Though he was only sixteen years of age, Hiko had already more than enough to display the promise and skill of a fine shinobi. Some would say that amongst all of his peers, Hiko stood out as the most promising to take to the mantle of Raikage.
From practically a young child the young Kininoru had an uncanny ability for the use of the futon element. The talent was so great that it drew the attention of the village elders. Because of this, he was placed under specific guidance to hone his skills to a greater degree and be taught the arts of the eagle.
Hiko however, had an even greater ambition than just mastering a few jutsu. He was inspired by some of Kumo's heroes of the past and wanted to extend his title around the ninja world.
One morning Hiko received a scroll and within it summoned him to appear before the village elder. Hiko was excited because he knew that this would be the moment that he would receive his ninja wings. In a dash, the young shinobi made his way over to the elder's location. Once there he was greeted by an old bearded man in a garb. Hiko of the Kininoru clan. The old man acknowledged him with a tame voice. I have something that I require of you. A task for the brave if you are willing to accept.
Hiko couldn't help but be of interest as the elder explained. He was told that a village nearby had fallen to a series of mysterious disappearances, and rumor has it that things are headed for the worse. Evil forces had begun taking over the village and despite their efforts, the village shinobi has failed to de-escalate the situation and uncover the truth behind the vanishing. Because of this the rest of the village is living in constant fear of not knowing who's going to be next.
Kininoru, Hiko will you accept this mission that I present to you? He had a scowl set upon his and an eye set upon Hiko's soul. Absolutely. Hiko's agreed to the mission. I will do everything within my will to make sure the task is complete. He remarked with the utmost confidence. With both in agreeance, the elder blessed Hiko with a map of the location of the village. Hiko immediately left the elder's office and headed straight to the village in need.
Hiko's travel was a daunting one. During his travels, he encountered various obstacles such as rugged terrain, shady merchants, and wildlife. Yet, neither of these slowed his travels. Thanks to them Hiko's mind, body, and soul grew stronger preparing him for any challenges that may be ahead.
Finally, Hiko reached his destination where he was greeted by a plethra of wary villagers. He could hear the many whispers amongst them. He's here, It's, the exterminator, and How could they send someone so inexperienced to save us? Hiko however, was unfazed by the curiosities. He didn't turn away from the challenge yet he pressed forward. With each passing individual, Hiko questioned the villagers all while scouting the surrounding area for any false details or clues.
It didn't take but a day before Hiko had come up with the solution to their problem. His keen intuition, attention to detail, and ability to piece information together led him to find that there was an old catacomb beneath the village where shinobi of the past were cast out and left to die. The village elders had kept this a secret from its citizens and now the past has come back to haunt them. Many of the shinobi that were left there to die found a way to survive and devise a plan to rule the nation by fear from within the shadows.
So after gathering what was left of the village shinobi, Hiko then riled them up to fend off the underground shinobi and drag them out. The battle between the two groups was short-lived. Along with the others Hiko blew through the rogues like a hurricane taking them all down easily. In the end, the village's reign of terror had come to an end at the hands of Kininoru, Hiko. Not too bad for a shinobi's first mission, in fact, that village spread word of the accomplishment and even granted Hiko a nickname. Kininoru of the winds.

Post by Fiyumi Kisigakure on Mar 15, 2024 6:44:00 GMT
POSITION: Rokubi MEMBER: Konohagakure RANK: A rank Jonin, just graduated PLANS: I plan on having Fiyumi to be finding her place in the Konohagakure. She had spent so long training to be able to protect the village and now with the strength to be able to help her village she will do everything that is asked of her go see that done. I would also like the help develop the connection between the Jinchuriki on site and assist where possible in driving forward the plot of the site.
ABILITIES: Fiyumi has an affinity for water and Wind style Jutsu, she is skilled in Ninjutsu and Taijutsu as well as learning how to control her Chakra and that of Saiken. She has developed a growing relationship with them as the five tails finds Fuyumi's outlook on the Jubei as familiar rather than as anything negative.
RP Sample: Fiyumi perched herself in the trees on the edge of Konohagakure. The wing whispered through the the higher branches as the trees did their solemn sway. Her eyes darted from place to place. She had been tasked with keeping an eye on the western edge of the forest as movement had been spotted. Today felt a bit more like a stress free reconnaissance day rather than the normal day of a Jinchuriki where everyone tends to look at you like your a tactical bomb about to explode at the wrong order of Ramen. Being among the trees felt much more serene than most ever give it credit for. There was always a sense of ease and purposeful tranquility when Fiyumi was in nature. The main concern now was seeing who was trying to dip their toe a little too close to home.
"What are you looking for?" The trilling high voice echoed in the depths of her mind. Her gaze sharpened. "I'm being observant." She thought in response as she continued to watch the sway of trees and wobble of shadows.
"Ore thinks you should set some sticky traps to surprise whoever is foolish enough to venture here. Ore also thinks you should make more friends. " The sound of a high pitched giggle brought a smirk to her face. The smirk disappeared as a kunai thunked heavily into the tree next to her.
She allowed herself to roll backward. The sensation of falling took her as she fixed her gaze in the direction the Kunai came from. She formed the signals and took aim. "Wind Technique: Air Bullets". The torrent bursts of wind canvased the small area that could house an assailant and the scream that came shortly after gave her a hint that she'd found her spy.
"Ore is impressed and a little dissapointed! You didn't even think of using my Chakra? Also human must be weak to be outed by a single attack." Fuyumi could literally hear the head tilt in her mind. "No Saiken. That's more for special occasions. I think whoever did this was not intending to harm me, merely to scare me off." What lay in front of Fuyumi was a man in his late 20's, injured but still alive. "Why are you here?" Fuyumi's presence and aura changed. This adorable looking young woman now gave off the aura of a hulking snarling monster. The man gulped. "Bandit! I'm a bandit!" She could see from his eyes that he was scared. A useful tool. She grabbed at his shirt and began to drag him back toward the village. "I know someone who may have questions for you." The sound of the young man trying to fumble his way free mixed with the attempt of sinster laughing in her head was making this a fine day indeed.

Post by Ōtsutsuki Ryūnosuke on Mar 18, 2024 14:46:15 GMT
POSITION: The Third Otsutsuki MEMBER: Galeforce RANK: S-Rank PLANS:
Ryunosuke is an old soul who has become indolent in his long, ageless, life. Though I intend for him to be the Third Otsutsuki. He is very much a calm and relaxed sort who had gotten attached to his people, in a sort of 'master and pet' deal. Due to his lazy and passive nature these days. He is very much a person who enjoys waiting and watching things unfold. He isn't one to cause too much drama or strife for his tiny shinobi village. Instead, he is quite content to watch his beautiful 'fruits of labor' (ie; his village) ripen.
I intend to make him slowly become more proactive as time goes on. To pluck at the strings of 'fate' and manipulate those around him. At the moment, the village he's in has the shield of being small and insignificant, with very little political power. Which works wonderfully for him. As it means the other villages will underestimate him and his plans to further bolster their strength via alliances and negotiations. He is very much a diplomatic character, meant to conquer and control via wisdom and words, instead of brute force or numbers. Essentially, I plan for him to play the 'long game' and slowly consolidate power. And eventually creating conflict between the nations for his own benefit.
ABILITIES:
The Third Otsutsuki (Master) Rinnegan (Master) Chakra Rods (Master) Speechcraft (Expert)
RP Sample:
Time...
It was such an empty, meaningless, thing.
For a being, a God, such as he. It was merely a word. It held no bearing on him and his ilk. However, time had grown to become quite boring. The countless years have gone by. He has grown even older and wiser. Gone was the volatile and insatiable upstart he was in his early existence. And replacing it was a wisened, tired, old man. Content to sleep his days away.
Ah. But if only it was that simple, hm?
A soft rapt at the wooden door was heard. However, Ryunosuke had long since sensed the approaching person. "Milord, may I come in?" They asked tentatively as though expecting to be turned away. Or, perhaps, expecting no answer at all.
"Enter."
He intoned gently, watching with a bemused smile as a young woman came bustling in. Her vision impaired the countless books and scrolls in her grasp. She would stumble in, showing quite the amount of balance and grace before dumping the load of writings onto his desk with a resounding 'THUMP'.
The immortal simply gave a tired sigh.
"A-apologies Milord! But these are the records of this week's finances!" Ryunosuke simply gave a pleasant yet obviously tired smile. He gently pushed the stack of books and paper to the side of his desk. "Thank you, Miss Tomoe. Your tireless vigor is quite refreshing." He praised smoothly, earning the telltale sign of a blush on her fair face. She adjusted her glasses as she coughed in her hand. In a vain attempt to center herself.
How adorable...
"Milord, if I may explain what's on the docket today?" He simply gave a gesture to continue. Finding his mind wandering as the woman began to speak. Tomoe Ishikawa... The many times great-granddaughter of one of his most faithful subordinates. Hah, she even had the same exact beauty mark placement. And the same black hair, albeit, styled differently. She lacked Ryoji's bold and somewhat careless nature. But she was definitely of his bloodline.
It was quite wonderful to see that their line has borne fruit. However, it is a shame their skills in Doton has dwindled over the centuries. Perhaps that was something he could cultivate within them down the line? Reestablish them to their roots. Hm... perhaps Miss Tomoe would happen to 'come across' an old scroll or two?
He smiled gently, as the woman finished explaining. Her face flushed once more at that beautiful smile he had. Unaware of his thoughts or motives. "A-Are you alright Milord?" She questioned with a stutter as Ryunosuke simply looked at her clearly.
"Yes, of course, Miss Tomoe. Your work is greatly appreciated, as always. Please notify me when my first meeting starts, will you?" She smiled and nodded frantically before turning away, visible steam coming out of her ears as she went to leave. The Otsutsuki member couldn't help but tease her as she departed.
"Until we meet again, Miss Tomoe. Have a wonderful day~"
The woman all but ran out. Causing him to chuckle. His gaze lingered towards the open window as a sparrow made its way to the windowsill. His expression grew serious and cold as his vision rippled into steel purple.
"What a beautiful day..." He intoned, as he sighed his vision returned to pale gold. "How long will this last I wonder?" He questioned quietly to an empty room turning his attention back to the rest of his office.
"Perhaps, it is time to put my plans into action... I have been languid long enough."

POSITION: Chief Aide to the Hokage MEMBER: Fiyumi Kisigakure RANK: A rank Jonin PLANS: Stop the Konoha falling apart and keep Kishi in check. ABILITIES: N/A RP Sample: Spoken with Meech, approvable upon completion of Holdings.
The current plan for Yangai is to first and foremost find the person with the most freedom in the world and surpass or learn from them. Not to the extent of wanting to join a village or return to his previous one. Valuing his own freedom above all else. All aside from Matatabi who he makes constant promises of freeing from within himself alongside her kin. For that purpose alone he has grand ambitions of gathering them all in one place for that sake. Be that through kidnapping, blackmail, or just downright violence. With peace talks being the first on the agenda. The point is to free the Tailed Beast from the Jinchuriki should they so desire it. Of course, he won't know which beast is where or who has obtained them. So to combat this issue he plans to form a small organization of missing ninja and ordinary citizens who will act as an information-gathering net called Reverence. I expect all of this to take some time so there is no rush for it. But I also have no plans for him to join up with any village unless forced... or captured I guess.
The second arc of all of this will be more of an internal struggle between his desire for freedom and the realization that his own infatuation for the tailed beast was dangerous to those around him. Especially when she goes on a rampage and kills damn near anyone that could pose a threat to them both. Be they possible friend or foe. But again. That is for the future. If at all possible I will also be looking out for someone to complete a possible Ino-Shika-Chō variant for missing ninja for further plots.
ABILITIES:
Yangai will be focusing on honing techniques that could possibly combine the capabilities of the Blue Flames of Matatabi and Yin release to create an odd series of Wilo Wisp-inspired Jutsu to ensnare his foes. As ironic as it may seem he'll be focusing on jutsu that entrap, or restrict those after him rather than straight out killing them. So his skill set will be geared toward potential information gathering. For weapons, he will primarily rely on either ranged weaponry or a mixture of dagger and sickle techniques. As for Matatabi, he will not have any actual control of her. He'll be acting with the beast off her leash. Not fearing what she'll do while on the loose, but who knows if that will change down the line. Finally, the sensory abilities inherited from his clan will be secondary. Something he'll do as a way of expressing what little faith he had in them before defecting. Same with most of the jutsu. Using them only when he has been left with no choice.
RP Sample:
Let it burn. Crash down to the ground like a fragile house of cards. It was going to be magnificent. A starving tale of glory, and passion that would only be quenched by a drop of freedom. It had been quite a while since Yanagi had found himself treading the pathway of this familiar courtyard. Since he's been able to feel the oddly shaped stones kissing the crevices between his toes. Not that he had the time to linger on past sentiments. No, those days were long gone. Just a petal scattered on harsh winds. "Are you done Yanagi-Tan?"A voice chimed in from the back of his mind. Elegant yet impatient all the same. That was the beast that dwelled within him. A long-time partner as well as his only real friend in this world. If you didn't count those other two fools who fled alongside him.
"I said are you done?!? Her voice was raised only by a bit yet it boomed throughout his skull all the same. Clearly not happy with his silence. "Apologies, Matatabi-Heika. Just set adrift in my thoughts is all." And could you blame him? Sure he hated the cage this compound acted as for him, but all things had an upside. A lie that acted as the red thread that could become salvation for those who were brave enough to grasp it. For Yanagi that had been the chance to have his Beloved sealed within himself. To her dismay of course, but who's to say what emotions lay beneath that ever-growling maw? "Silence you buffoon. Just go grab the thing." Right. They were here for that scroll. Legacy of his now deceased mother. A work of techniques she aimed to perfect as the host of Matatabi all those years ago.
Stolen away by his disgruntled father just as everything else had been. His ambition. His glory. His freedom. Both just wings clipped like a flightless crow for the sake of the Yamanaka. For their betterment, he had to suffer. Forced to, Study. To practice. To perfect what was never meant to be perfected. Never beaten or bruised. Just shunned. Locked away with what little thoughts he allowed to play around the darker corners of his mind. "Get going." Again, she urged him forward as a partner would. It was enough to snap him out of his thoughts, and our little rebel dashed ahead. This particular compound belonged to his family. It remained unused for the most part and remained lightly guarded.
It was just a few buildings after all. Ones that belonged to a traitor no less. So, it was seen as unimportant. Or it should have been. So, why was she there? It had to be her. That glorious blonde hair that would shine even in the darkness of an alley. His sister. The golden heir. And someone who was blocking his way. "Wai-" She began to speak yet it was too late. A blade had already been drawn. A small tanto he kept for self-defense these days. It was light, easy to swing, and best of all sharper than most steel blades. So, he swung it once, then twice. Only to be sidestepped both times. That wretched woman was quick on her feet. A compliment she'd hardly be able to hear twice. Not even once since he refused to speak a single word. "Don't just strike. Burn. Claw. Aim for the throat." Brutal. Made more so by how polite the blazing feline tended to be. Even in the face of a foe, she was as elegant with her words as always. The same could not be said for Yanagi.
"Working on it." Finally, he spoke. The tone a tad heavier than before. It was at that moment that his foe let loose her fangs. Lunging at him with a fierce kick that sent him spiraling to the ground below. But what do they say? Cats always land on their feet. Well, the same could be said of Yanagi when he flipped over mid-air and landed on his feet. Chakra now surged throughout his slender form before a sliver of azure flame slithered out from around his palms. Engulfing them in a single moment. It vaguely took on the form of a massive paw, and then Yanagi was gone. In an instant, he'd pounced forward. Barreling over the woman, striking her torso with the flaming claws in one instant. Where he ended up next was a surprise even to him. He managed to burst through the doors she seemed to be guarding and with a swift look around he noticed it. The scroll he was looking for. His mother's legacy was here just as he expected.
"Y-You devil! Why are you back he-re?! Wasn't it already enough to trample on us once?!" She screamed. Stumbling to her feet as our rebel sneered. Clearly not impressed with her little speech. "I only took back what was mine. It should've always been mine." That's right. His fre- "Our lives?! You took them all!? Women, children! Even the elderly. You are a monster hiding behind a smile! And I will have you gone!" There was a bit of might behind that scream. That and some righteous anger. Something he was unfamiliar with being the selfish man that he was. Of course, he meant to retort but before he had the chance his vision started to go black. His breathing sped, and before anyone knew it he damn well fainted. "Snap out of it Yanagi-Tan!" But it was too late. The damage had been done. And all it took was...

Post by Igarashi Isamu on Mar 20, 2024 2:54:29 GMT
POSITION: Yonbi and Captain of the Explosion Corps! MEMBER: Philo! RANK: Special Jonin! PLANS: Isamu's intended to be a bit of a walking timebomb, both figuratively and maybe a little more literally. An explosives specialist with a special 'friend', but he doesn't have any great ambitions at this point in time. I could see him being considered one of the more 'dangerous' jinchuriki, given his decorated background and the nature of his tailed beast. I think the dynamic I find ideal is the idea of him being notorious outside of his village and considered a potential weapon of mass destruction, while the people around him know he's not got any grand designs of his own. Depending on how things go, I could see him becoming a bit more radical in his support of the village, or becoming a powerful voice in the call for jinchuriki to be able to cooperate beyond village boundaries. He's hard to sway with strength alone, but he can be coerced in other ways.
Overall, I'd say I want to get him involved in things from the viewpoint of someone focused on the restoration of his village and see where the plot influences him! I'd like him to grow to form a tighter bond with Son Goku as well- they have a sort of strained relationship at the moment, but he has a hard time viewing the big guy as anything but an unorthodox weapon with a sharp tongue. Would be fun to see them slowly open up more. ABILITIES: As a jinchuriki with a bit of experience under his belt, he's got a few different options. Naturally gifted with fire, earth, and passable with lightning- add on explosive release from his time in the Explosion Corps and he's a bit of a walking powder keg. He's had the Yonbi for a few months now and still has only strained control- he tries not to lean on his power when he can help it, really. A mix of taijutsu, close-range fire techniques and explosion style makes up his usual repertoire. RP Sample: "Is that really the best they could do? Feh. Why do you only fight such weaklings?"
The voice echoing in his head went unanswered for a few moments as the shinobi reached into a pocket at his hip. Clearly designed for storing shuriken or kunai, he produced a jet-black cigar from within. A finger pressed to one end. In a second, it was lit, smoke slowly billowing up to fill the air above him. Silently, he took a long drag, then let out a cloud of smoke with a comfortable sigh. "I dunno, Gogo. Maybe everyone in every other village is just really lame?" He casually wiped a bit of blood off of his jaw. Not his own, of course. "Gotta wonder what they're feeding their kids, right? Think they need more iron, or.."
"As if any diet would make a difference. Humans are all the same- pathetic!" The voice paused, followed by a sensation almost like something was punching the inside of his skull. "And I told you, do not call me that!"
The man cracked a grin at no one, even as his eyebrow twitched from the disquieting feeling resonating in his head. "Sorry, sooorry! Totally forgot, heh." Both of them knew he absolutely hadn't forgotten. Another long drag and he blew a few rings out the nearby window. It wasn't open, but the glass had all been blown out, so it didn't make much of a difference. How convenient! "I've gotta agree with you on this one, though. I thought a group of nukenin would make for a more interesting time, but this was over so fast. Hmm.. think it woulda been better if I gave them more of a warning? Like, maybe I should've stood outside and shouted 'Hey! We know you're in there, come out and we can fight fair!'" Just thinking about it made him snicker. "Could try that next time."
"If they were going to lose to you, location would make no difference. They were disgraces!"
"You might be right, big guy. Still-"
"Captain Igarashi!"
Before he could continue on his tangent, Isamu's attention was pulled away by the voice of a young man followed by a gasp of horror. The Jonin was covered almost head to toe in blood, his face the only thing seemingly spared from the gore. The room around him, once the hideout for a trio of Iwa missing-nin trying to operate inside the ruins of the old village, was splattered with the various half-burnt remains of their bodies. It looked like a bomb had gone off in here.. which wasn't far from the truth. Standing up straighter, the Captain cocked a grin and flicked the stub of his cigar onto a dismembered leg lying unceremoniously on the floor.
"Heya!" His sunny expression contrasted dangerously with his current appearance. "You're the new kid, right? Yuuichi, yeah?" He took a step closer, towering over the new recruit and the lieutenant standing behind him. "Sorry! I think I went a little too hard, heh. I heard one of 'em used to be a jonin, so I thought they'd put up more of a resistance! Maybe the intel was wrong?" Isamu offered a shrug. "But hey, don't worry! I'll make sure to save at least one of 'em for you next time!"
The brilliant, confident smile on his face might've been reassuring if not for scene of horror around him. To the Captain, he hardly seemed to notice. Yuuichi gulped- he was no 'kid', he was an experienced jonin of Iwagakure, same as the rest of them. And yet, for all the stories he'd heard, nothing could've properly prepared him for dealing with the Grinning Grenade himself. He took a gulp, centering himself before offering his superior a short bow. "I.. yes, of course! They were no match for you, Captain Igarashi!" Again, he bowed. "I'll.. assist the others outside! Excuse me, sir!"
The young man was out of sight in a flash. Isamu rubbed at his beard, expression genuinely confused. "Eh? What was his problem?" He looked to his lieutenant, blood audibly dripping onto the floor from the edge of his cloak as he moved. "... is he hoping there'll be stragglers outside?"
Outside, his second-in-command gave a sigh. Inwardly, Son Goku did much the same. ".. what? What? Did I say something weird..?"
He wouldn't even notice the state of his clothes until he changed, hours later. Not that he'd ever put 2 and 2 together there. In his head, he marked Yuuichi as 'especially eager', and made a note to give him some one-on-one training once they were settled in back home- which would be a terrifying enough experience to drive him away entirely. Well, some things can't be helped!
Post by akimichi choyoyo on Mar 20, 2024 4:34:47 GMT
POSITION: Wielder of Kabutowari. MEMBER: Mina RANK: Jōnin PLANS: Despite being an Akimichi, Choyoyo was born in the land of water as a result of her parents falling in love with one another during their chunin exams. Due to the strained relationship her mother had with her family at the time (minor nobles with ties to the daimiyo), it fell upon her father, an Akamichi, to move to the land of water so they could start their own family.
Given her relatively normal background, my main goal with this character is to offer someone with an upbeat and approachable nature to help smooth out any rocky start between SSM members, specially by including some comedic dynamics. Despite that, assuming her naive is a bad idea: Choyoyo is well aware that life ain’t easy in the mist (her mom’s a hardcore beast), and so, she has no qualms with throwing absurdly massive hands if push comes to shove.
If at all plausible, I would also love to rp some of the drama llama that might be thrown her way, considering she’s someone hailing from a clan of konoha holding one of kiri’s fabled swords.
ABILITIES: Choyoyo was a genius little girl from a young age, and at her eighteenth year, she has mastered just about everything her father had to teach her in terms of Akimichi techs, and have since then expanded them to include techniques that specifically enlarge the size of a weapon ---namely, Kabutowari. She's very capable at taijutsu and can wreak havoc with her weapon, specially when both are oversized. The end goal here is, essentially, to maximize the power of [bonkus maximus].
RP Sample:
There are many absolute truths in this world.
The ever-turning cycle of day and night, the complex mathematics behind two plus two equaling fourty two, that all squares are in truth circles… but among many others that Choyoyo knows, only one of them stands atop her hierarchy of importance, above everything else—
The world doesn’t work on an empty stomach, goddammit!
Sat atop a rock near a flowing river, motionless nukenin dot the ground near the blonde Akimichi. She was sent along the hunter-nin to dispatch this particularly rough bunch that had been causing trouble lately, and though the scuffle was a relatively entertaining one, in the end… The scroll where she stored her fried karaage was ruined during the fight.
In this infinitesimal and everlasting moment of Akimichi-zen meditation, she ponders the meaning behind her grumbling stomach. Why must humans feel hungry? Is this the fate of shinobi, to endure? Why are they all here, just to suffer, again?
“I’m so gonna blow up the payment for this mission on a XXL bucket of karaage…” she mutters to herself, devoid of hopes and dreams. The purple eyes behind her blonde bangs stare toward the visible horizon, the intensity and concentration in her gaze enough to make sages blush. Alas, her pondering comes to an abrupt end. For some reason, a relatively chonky frog thinks it a good idea to jump from the depths of the river, landing near her feet.
Wait a moment.
The instant her eyes catch sight of the creature, the intricately interwoven and tapestry’ed inner-workings of her neurons activate deep into the depths of her mind, awakening memories that should be long forgotten. She heard one of her teammates say something interesting ages ago when she was a genin, and now that the little frog stares deep into the abyss of her purples… The abyss of her hunger stares right back. Everything is crystal clear now. Right. Choyoyo crosses her arms and nods to herself. But of course, everyone has heard this phrase at least once in their lifetime—
“Chicken’s supposed to taste like frog…!” She hammers her right fist onto her left palm as though arriving at the greatest breakthrough of the century. Her fingers dance in the air as she readies her grabby hands to pounce on the hero of this tale about ninjas enduring hunger, but—
Alas…
“Boo…!” Even if she made barbecue out of little river frog, there was no way it could sate her gargantuan hunger until she returned to the mist. That realization immediately stops Choyoyo in her tracks, and she finds herself glaring at the poor creature like the Uchiha loves their god damn eye contact. As if sensing the kunoichi’s contained rage, the poor little frog jumps back into the water, disappearing into the great flow. Good, little froggo—know thy enemy. Perhaps this is just yet another challenge in her way. In knowing that chicken tastes like frog, she shall endure her craving until she arrives home.
