I have a feeling I'm expected to post with Nadra, but I've been going through some inspiration issues with her in her current situation in this game. I'm still here, just trying to follow along.

Your Genin is part of an ambush attack on shadow clone Gowi. I suggest you look for Satoshi's most recent post and Gamer's most recent one. I'm sure you can exactly find out what is happening. If you have more questions don't hesitate to ask them ^^

Name: Kou Giwa
Nickname/Alias:
Gender: Male
Age and date of birth: 13, 23 August
Age Appearance: Early Teens
Sexuality: Heterosexual

Parents: Jiya Giwa and Zen Namikaze
Length and build: 66 inches(167cm); Athletic build
Weight: 147lbs(67kgs)
Favorite weather and season: Warm; Autumn



Village: Konoha
Birthplace: Konoha
Organization: N/A

Clan/Bloodline: Giwa/Namikaze

Rank: Genin

Chakra Nature: Fuuton, Doton - (has no knowledge of his elemental affinities yet and won't for a while; will unlock wind a while later...)



Appearance:
Kou has spiky black hair that reaches his shoulders. Down the middle of his hair is a silver streak of hair that grows that way naturally. He has thick eyebrows(not like Guy/Lee). His eyes are both gray, and there is a horizontal scar under his right eye. He often wears a gray sleeveless hoodie. Both of his forearms are wrapped in white bandages. He wears black pants, and black sandals. On both hands are black fingerless combat gloves. He wears his Konoha headband loosely around his neck.



Personality:
Kou doesn't really have the best personality to gain popularity or friends. His mouth has no filter and he acts like he doesn't care about others' feelings. He often has dark thoughts due to an incident his witnessed while younger. Other people around him tend to annoy him quite easily. He very much enjoys his personal space, and hates anyone who enters it uninvited. He is also a bit paranoid, refusing to trust those around him no matter what. Kou can be described as emotionless. He has never killed another human, but he thinks about it a lot and feels that once he finally does he will love it. He's kinda screwed up.

Despite his number of troubling traits, Kou is incredibly tactful, and carries a good amount of knowledge about things he is interested in. In his free time he is either training or reading. He can come up with ideas or tactics on the fly and conceal his objectives from his opponent to give himself the upperhand in battle. Kou's self awareness is pretty high, and his mind is always being fed with new information. He remembers the tiniest things.



History:
Jiya and Zen, Kou's mother and father met in Konoha. Jiya was born into the Giwa Clan. The Giwa Clan was a small clan located near Konoha in their own small settlement. They specialized in forging and using many different types of weapons. Having little interest in weaponry, Jiya moved to Konoha once she turned eighteen and worked in a supply store until she could save enough money to open up her own clothing shop. Zen was born into the Namikaze Clan, a clan specializing in kekkai ninjutsu, as well as fuinjutsu. Zen was also not born in Konoha, but moved there when he was younger so that he could train to become a shinobi at the ninja academy. He met Jiya while he was a Chunin, and started dating her soon after. By the time Zen had become a Jonin, he and Jiya were married, and soon had Kou. Kou was often hard to control as a child. He would wander off and find new ways to get into trouble, but his father often bailed him out. Kou had a strong desire to be like both his parents. When he wasn't getting in trouble he would be training with his father if possible, and gathering information about his family history from both his parents. Kou had already decided to follow in his father's footsteps at a young age and join the ninja academy, so training with his father was largely important to him. He would go back to his mother's old home and meet with his family from his mother's side. They would teach him about the different weapons they made, and how they made and used them.

When Kou wasn't training with his father, he was with his uncle, his mother's brother, training with various weaponry. And he also found time to travel to his father's homeland to learn about the techniques they employed in battle soaking up the information and knowledge like a sponge. Kou could hardly wait until he was eligible to join the ninja academy. He would often sneak off to go and train by himself. When he did this in Konoha, his parents did not care much as there wasn't much danger right outside of the gate, but anytime he traveled to his father's home, they would forbid him from going into the woods during the night. There was nothing but trouble for him. Kou, being the hardhead that he is, had learned of a new technique and he couldn't wait to try it out for the first time. Instead of waiting until daybreak, Kou went out in the middle of the night figuring if something came for him he would be able to kill it. His cockiness quickly proved to be deadly, as a group of ruthless bandits paraded the woods, stumbling across a young Kou. Kou opted to stand his ground instead of running and was easily caught. THe sun rose, and his parents quickly discovered that he was missing. Zen wasted no time leaving to search for the boy while Jiya worried helplessly. Following a trail of struggle in the woods, Zen appeared before the hideout of the bandits. Zen easily broke through, killing the guards with no remorse. He entered the hideout and quickly came across Kou being held captive. The bandit leader appeared before the shinobi demanding an impossible ransom once he found out that Kou was his child. Zen swiftly refused and the bandit leader pulled out a kunai, throwing it in the direction of Kou. The kunai was thrown skillfully, only managing to leave a cut under one of Kou's eyes. The bandit leader had thrown it purposely to spook Zen, and it barely worked. Zen instantly identified the bandit leader as an old Konoha shinobi who had been banished from the village a long time ago, and he remembered that he was no slouch. In a remarkable display of speed and wit, Zen managed to apply a barrier around Kou while taking out a few bandits in the area. Enranged, the bandit leader called on the rest of his subordinated to attack Zen while also going after Kou's father himself. Zen masterfully killed bandit after bandit ruthlessly. They had his son, and threatened his life. Zen would not let anyone live. Kou stared on in disbelief at the amount of bloodshed his father was causing. Zen had never fought with such darkness in his eyes. The bandits' hideout was painted red. Zen tired himself out, and it was only him and the bandit leader left. Zen in a normal setting would have been able to dispatch of this man with no issues but he had foolishly tired himself out with his last onslaught of the lesser bandits. The bandit leader sensed this and a battle to the death ensued. Zen went toe to toe with the bandit leader, neither gaining ground. Kou looked on, eyes wide, without a word escaping his mouth.

A shadow appaered in the entrance of the hideout and Kou quickly recognized his mother. Why did she have to come? That was the question that haunted Kou for the rest of his life. When catching wind of his shocked mother, Kou yelled out her name. Zen, hearing the name of his wife, turned from the battle in disbelief at her presence. Seeing an opening, the bandit leader delivered a fatal blow to Zen, leaving Jiya to shriek in horror. The bandit leader began to smirk and began walking towards Kou's mother, hoping to kill her in revenge for the trouble that Zen had caused. Kou screamed for her to run, but Jiya's body was frozen. Not yet dead, Zen intervened, evening the score. The bandit leader fell to his knees, slowly turning around to see that he had been impaled through the heart with a sharp object by a half-dead Zen. Both men fell to their deaths moments later, leaving a gruesome scene for a mother and her nine year old son. This was the incident that shaped Kou today. His mother blamed herself for her husband's death, and Kou blamed himself for everything. His mother begged Kou never to bring up becoming a ninja again, or even trying to practice any techniques but he refused, and the day that he became eligible to apply, she hung herself leaving Kou to come back home to the sight of her lifeless body. This event further shaped his derailment from normal actions or thoughts. Kou still decided to become a shinobi

Knowing what is happening and being able to write off it due to "reasons" is another thing.

True, but I was only providing you with an answer to your (seemingly) confusion about what was going on. If there is anything I can help with let me know.

@Torris: First of all welcome to the RP ^^

Your CS is looking good. One small thing:

- Your Genin is only allowed to have 1 chakra nature when he starts out, so you will have to choose between Fuuton and Doton.
On and:
- Small nitpicking, weighting 147lbs(67kgs) is quite a lot for a 13 year old. Generally boys of that age weight around 72-138lbs. :P

Besides that it looks all fine. ^^

Thanks. I know that I listed two chakra natures but it was mostly for future reference. I'd planned on him utilizing the Wind Nature a little later down the road when he delves more into ninjutsu, and learning the Earth Nature a while after that. I have no problem annotating this in the bio if necessary. :)

Also, I purposely intended on Kou being larger than normal for his age, so that is why I listed him at such weight, but I have no problem scaling it down if need be. Thanks for the review.

Torris:

You can just state Fuuton then and keep the Doton for later. Either way with that cleared up and done I accept you. ^^

@Gero

why do you center everything....?

@J8cob and Alice

that collab was beautiful. so sad...

That's about %90 of what I post. Beautiful yet sad. XD

Gerontis said Though I have decided to not unleash the full extent of the event, due some teams training and such, I will soon post for the Kumo, Konoha and Amegakure group and their situation. For now, those who can (Ame and Konoha) can literally react to the situation if they were close enough or have another plausible reaction. Kirigakure can launch their action now as soon Kumo will notice what will happen next.

Not to be a dick or anything but would you be cool with Kato hearing the shit going down in Kumo? Its not really something that I think Kato would completely do but right now Im looking for an excuse to basically say "Fuck it, we win, I'm leaving."

Amegakure is still on need of Genin and more love, it would be greatly appreciated if people helped put in that area.

Organization: N/A

Clan/Bloodline: Ibi

Rank:Genin

Chakra Nature: Water

Appearance:

Shu suffers from Heterochromia Iridum. Shu's left eye is blue, and his right eye is brown

Personality: Shu is a quite, reserved person, who's childhood taught him to isolate himself to avoid giving other people the chance to isolate him. He has a strong sense of right, and wrong, and always protects the weak. Shu has a tendency to disrespect authority, and this leads to many underestimating his skill. Shu is naturally quite and light footed, as he has never wanted to draw attention to himself. Shu keeps his head down, and his thoughts in his head. He rarely gives his opinion, and this often leads to him ignoring orders, and instead doing what he thinks is best.

History:Shu's father was a blacksmith, and his mother died while giving birth to Shu. Shu, like all with his surname, is part of the Ibi clan. The Ibi clan is very significant in Amegakure, as it produces massive amounts of weaponry. His clan's normal jobs are blacksmiths, fletchers, and other weapon oriented professions. A select few members of his clan become Shinobis, but luckily for these individuals, the clan provides weaponry readily for them.

Kin and Mayuko Ibi fell madly in love with each other soon after meeting. Unfortunately, Kin was not the most skilled in his blacksmithing profession, but his clan origins definitely helped him. Kin was 23, and Mayuko was 21 when Shu was conceived, and they were both ecstatic upon discovering. Fate would not have the marriage be happy for too long though, for a few hours after Shu's birth Mayuko passed away.

At the age of four, Shu suffered a major head injury from Kin's blacksmith hammer falling on him. For a few days after the incident, Shu was blind in his left eye. Eventually his vision came back, but as his eyes developed, his left eye never changed from it's birth color. His left eye remained blue, while his right eye slowly turned brown. Shu was constantly plagued with questions about his eyes, which led to a major self confidence issue. He also developed an authority problem as adults were the ones who questioned him the most. These self confidence issues followed him throughout the next couple years of his life, leading to him isolating himself for a majority of his childhood.

When Shu was six, he started hearing stories of the great "Shinobi" and like most children, promised himself he would become a great ninja. His father encouraged this by attempting to make him a Katana, but Kin made the katana too flat, and it's curve too distinct. At the time the Ibi clan was especially poor, so Kin had no choice but to put it to use by giving it to Shu. When the period of poverty passed, Shu had a close uncle craft him a sheath.

Shu was a quite student who excelled in Ninjutsu and Kenjutsu. Shu was definitely an above average student, but his quite nature led him to be ignored by teachers, and his peers a like. This strengthened Shu's dislike of authoritative figures, as he immersed himself in his studies; Shu's only goal at this point was to become a ninja. This immersion in his studies led Shu to have no friends in the academy.

I think that the ??? group has managed to do it in secret or at least, nobody seem to know about it. So nobody will find out about it, until its too late. After all, the group moved in with stealth.

@Solokolos

It looks fine with me, but I remember that water whip is a high ranked technique. Something that Hillan said in the past when somebody else tried to get water whip approved in their CS.

It would be better if you would put up a link with the request. ;)

Approved by me.
