Here's my approved Genin character, a post for him will come . . . sometime today.
@Partisan I added some new things to Aoi's sheet, most important being a new jutsu and some additions to old ones. I gave her additional charged shot variants, like a more powerful armor-piercing shot that can only go 50 meters as opposed to the full 100 and an AOE shot that has less power but paralyzes a group of targets for a few seconds, as making it so that the A rank she has is less taxing. She still has to do the charge up, but no longer is super drained by it, and she can use it 3 times before the drain becomes too much for her.

Tatsuya is tall at around 6'2, and has a rather muscular upper body due to his work in the forge. His hands and arms are covered with numerous scars, burns and callouses due to the work he does every day, but he wears them with pride as they are the symbol of all his hard work. His red eyes come from his father, and shiny red hair comes from his mother. He also has a tattoo on his upper right arm of Ketsui lodged in the mouth of an active volcano. He got it the day he became a Genin as a symbol to never forget the determination it took to get him there, so that no matter how long the road to greatness looked, he'd never give up.
His normal clothing style is usually a plain white T-shirt, some jeans and steel toed boots( a nesseccity in his profession). He sometimes where a jacket if it;s cold enough for one, but more often than not, that's it for his casual wear. His combat outfit is a black, long sleeve shirt, a jacket over that, black combat pants and shinobi sandals.

Psych. report.

【Fighting style】 Tatsuya is a more weapon-based fighter, specialized in Kenjutsu mostly, as that is the weapon he uses most often, and has the most skill in using. That being said, his Taijutu is serviceable enough that he's not completely defenseless without his weapons, but it'll only do him so well for so long, especially against a skilled Taijutsu fighter. His Ninjutsu is also quite good, with a focus on controlling the battlefield rather than simply blasting his opponents away.
Up close, Tatsuya is a very good fighter, but he often has issues against distance opponent unless he can figure out a way to get them to come to him. He can either uses his jutsu to force his foe closer, or takes the battle to them instead. When it comes to using his Kekkei Genkai, he can sometimes use it to distract his opponents by making the ground underneath their feet really hot via forming lava just below the surface. A sneaky, but effective strategy, especially when facing an enemy of a higher skill level than him, as that split second distraction could give him just the edge he needs to either escape, or end a fight.
【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Lava Release Description: The lava release is a very versatile Kekkei Genkai that has multiple variations and abilities depending on how one uses it. For Tatsuya, he bears an affinity for manipulating volcanic materials like as Magma making a very, very deadly opponent to go up against. His Lava attacks can change the very battlefield, giving him a good amount of Offensive, defensive, and crowd controlling abilities. An added plus to this ability is that one can convert certain earth-style techniques into Lava style ones, at the cost of an increased chakra cost.
With some practice, Tatsuya has also been able to create a rubber-like material as well, which he can change the consistency of his chakra to make it work as an adhesive. While he's not skilled enough with it yet to use it in battle, in time it could add to his crowd control and supportive abilities.
Tatsuya himself suffers no ill effects from his use of this ability, and seems to have a bit of heat resistance as well, though not enough to make a real difference against a fire jutsu(this doesn't include his own lava, which he's immune to). It's a neat party trick for him to snuff out a cigarette on with his hands, but that's about it. Strengths: The lava style is a highly variable ability, granting nearly unparalleled offensive capability, effective defenses, and crowd control capabilities. Weaknesses: Lava attacks can be effectively countered by a strong enough Water attack, cooling down the magma into rock. Also, this ability is highly destructive, endangering both friend and foe if Tatsuya isn't careful about what abilities he uses and how he uses them.
Jutsu Name: Doton: Ishi Yoroi no Ude (Earth Release: Stone Bracers) Rank: D Range: Self Description: By taking dirt and rubbing it on their arms or legs, after performing the necessary hand seals, a shinobi is able to create very durable defensive bracers that add extra protection when using the arms to block. The chakra that is infused in them help to soften the blows of any physical attacks. These are very useful for taijutsu users or to defend against an onslaught of upper body blows. These bracers are designed to block physical attacks only. However, by channeling Yoton Chakra into the Jutsu, the rocks and what not can heat up to a degree that while the burns they cause are minor, they can be extremely painful and distracting to the opponent.
Jutsu Name: Tsuchi Tou Tou (Swift Earth) Rank: D, B with the addition of Yoton chakra Range: Mid to Close range Description: When performing this jutsu the user places his hands on the ground and causes it to move rapidly away as if it were a conveyor belt. As the shinobi increases in skill and rank the size, speed, and range of this jutsu all increase. While little more than a delaying tactic, if mixed with Lava Creation, it can create a rather deadly surge of lava heading straight toward the target at high speeds.
Jutsu name Lava Style: Lava Creation Rank: B Range: 2 meters in diameter for the starting point, close to mid range for manipulation Description: The user will first channel chakra into the ground, thus turning the ground to lava. The process is quick, as the ground will melt away into the liquid-like lava. This lava can be used to aid in his other lava based jutsu by creating a source which he can manipulate, instead of creating it himself. To increase the base area that is converted, the user must have both of his hands in contact with the ground.
Jutsu Name Lava Style: Weapon Creation Rank: D Range: Any active Lava source with in 30 meters Description: The user of this jutsu will first channel chakra into an active source of lava, which will cause it to rise up quickly and making the lava thicker then usual, allowing the user to then mold it into a weapon with a few simple gestures. The weapons created will be about as hard as steel, but are usually rather crude and blunt.
Jutsu Name Katon: Nenshou Tosshin (Fire Release: Burning Rush) Rank: C Range: Sphere goes is 2 meters long in diameter Description: A two-part technique in which the user blocks an attack by creating a sphere of fire around themselves, and after blocking the attack, the fires converge on his arms, upper body, and his feet to cloak him in flames. The fire on his feet can be used twice to launch him at his foes somewhat faster than before, and the flame on his hands and upper body make his Taijutsu more damaging due to being wreathed in flame, making it so that his attacks can inflict 2nd degree burns on the subject and get through most forms of clothing. The effect lasts for about 3 posts.
【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Tool Name: Bag of Dirt Description Enough said
Weapon Name: Ketsui Weapon Type A double-edged Bastard Sword Description Ketsui is the sword that Katsuya had to make to be allowed to become a shinobi by his father, a blade of unquestionable quality and a showing of true talent and hard work to be made by one as young as him. NOt only does it have a keen edge and made from durable metal, but during the forging process(where a mix of traditional and modern techniques were applied) he inscribed special seals into the metal to give it an extra function. THe blade could now store elemental chakra with in it's self and circulate it through the blade more effectively, enabling it to more effectively take on the aspects of whatever element it pumped into it. This also makes it capable of taking on even advanced chakra natures, such as Tatsuya's own Lava Release, with remarkable ease. And since it's able to store chakra as well, that means that one can fully charge it before a mission and activate and deactivate the seals inside with a simple one handed seal and a little chakra.
Chakra effects: Fire: The blade is wreathed in a thin, but intense veil of fire, allowing it to cut through metals with only moderate difficulty and cause third degree burns.
Earth:The blade becomes denser and more durable
Lava: The Blade becomes as Hot as Molten Lava, cutting through metal with ease as well as getting a slight increase in durabilty
The charge is big enough that it can keep the blade active for a total of 5 posts. The Lava style requires more chakra, however, so he can only hold that for about 3 posts instead of 5.
Tool Name: The Mark II Chakra Gauntlet Description This slightly bulky metal gauntlet holds some moderately complex hardware to make a more versatile version of the chakra shields used by the puppet-nin of the sand. It has a small disk-like object above the wrist which projects an energy shield around itself using the users chakra, and while the cost for maintaining the shield is low, the cost increases when blocking an attack. The stronger the attack, the more chakra it takes to defend against. At his current level, Tatsuya could defend against a B rank jutsu, though he'd be left feeling rather drained as a result. The chakra shield can be enlarge or shrunk at a moment's notice, and can even be launched along with the disc to make a decent weapon or a distraction. The projection disc is detachable, and Tatsuya usually keeps 3 extra's handy just in case. Tatsuya only has the one gauntlet, as it's still a relatively new piece he made in conjunction with his mother.
Tool Name: First Aid Kit Description A basic medical kit that holds several chakra pills, first aid supplies
Weapon name: Shuriken Description: Sharpened, four-pronged metal stars, useful for throwing. They can also be used for close combat, but not very efficiently. Although small, they can be used to distract, pin down enemy shinobi, or if accurate enough, can kill or incapacitate an enemy. They have an open circle in the centre, useful for grabbing with a finger, to avoid cutting oneself, or to put thread through. The circle is also beneficial to the weapon's overall aerodynamics, ensuring more accurate trajectories.
Weapon name: Kunai Description: A black dagger with a handle wrapped in bandages and a small ring attached to the end of it. The kunai is designed for thrusting and stabbing, though it can still do some damage if thrown despite not being designed for it, and is about the length of one's hand.
Weapon name: Explosive tags Description: These tiny slips of paper with seals drawn on them can pack quite a punch if used correctly, and can even be attached onto an enemy directly. Also can be attached to thrown kunai for accurate delivery or have a bunch wrapped into a ball for a more devastating payload.
Medical secrecy applies.
【Personality】 Tatsuya is an honest and sociable sort, one who believes that the best way to get something is to earn it through the sweat of your brow and the strength of your will. He's very open in both mind and personality, accepting of pretty much everyone, and at times a bit too forgiving, which people have taken advantage of in the past and probably will continue to do so in the future. However, don't take that as him being slow witted or foolish, as his mind is as sharp as the blades he forges, and he has a keen intuition, honed by years of attending his family's shop, for picking out when people are lying to him or trying to pull the wool over his eyes. He tries his best to remain courteous with all kinds people, but he's no pushover, and if you don't back off nicely, he will make you back off, whether it be through words or actions.
Tatsuya is also a bit of an artist, putting his experience in the forge into various metalworking projects and sculptures. While he's not terrible, it's obvious to see that e's still trying to find his niche with the art, as every piece is very different from one another, and he has yet to see one he particularly likes yet. He's also good at drawing, but that kind of a necessity when making designs for weapons, armors, and other such works, but he does sometimes take time out of his busy days to just relax and draw the world around him, mostly just random people on the street who catch his interest.
While usually rather humble and modest, Tatsuya takes great pride in what he calls his true art form, forging weapons and armors of his own that have a cool style while still remaining practical in use. He treats every work like a piece of art, and has also taken to learning several weapon types, because he always feels that if he knows how to use the weapon himself, he can better forge it for his customers. His favorite type of weapon is the sword, but he's also learned how to effectively use staves, daggers, tonfas, and a 3-part staff, which is his second favorite weapon to use.
【History】 Tatsuya's father comes from a clan of reknowned blacksmiths that originated from Mizu no kuni. They were known as the Kajiya Clan, and it's said that it was members of their clan responsible for forging the blades of the Seven Ninja swordsman. However, sometime after the rise of the Seventh Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki, a faction of the clan separated from the main branch and left Mizu no kuni, for reason's that very few outside the clan know about. The faction soon splintered off from each other, settling in several different lands across the world, keeping the name of their clan where ever they go to show that they still pride themselves in their linage.
His father, Katsuo, was born and raised in Konoha, living there for 17 years before he decided to travel to Kirigakure in order to find out more about his heritage. It was there were he met his wife-to-be, Katsumi Terumi. She was an eccentric inventor, and often considered to be the black sheep of her clan due to her . . . odd mannerisms. While the two didn't get along when they first met, their mutual love to create eventually formed into a relation ship, and after a 5 years, Katsuo returned home with Katsumi to Konoha with her father's blessing, where they were to be happily married 3 years later.
Fast forward 10 years in the future to the birth of Tatsuya, their second child and first born son. Tatsuya's early years where tough at first, as he was a rather weak baby, but he pulled through, eventually growing healthy and strong without any complications. Tatsuya soon spent a great amount of time with both of his parents in their respective workshops, though he tended to lean towards his dad's work then his mothers, he found both of them interesting. As soon as he was able, he would assist them in every endeavor they undertook, no matter how small a task they gave him to do. His family was a happy and connected one, for the most part.
The only real conflict ever presented before him was his father's staunch resolve to deny him from becomin a shinobi. Katsuo had seen both his father and brother become shonobi, only to die meaningless deaths and only him and his mother around to morn them, and he didn't want Tatsuya to become just another forgotten grave in the cemetery, killed before his time because he wass thought of as a simple pawn by the higher ups and above. Tatsuya, on the other hand, was adamant about it, wanting it more than anything else. Finally, Katsuo agreed to let the boy become a shinobi, but only if he could make a weapon that would impress him, and not a second before. The task was seemingly impossible for a then 10-year old Tatsuya, but he went at the challenge with a determination that blazed liked a wildflame.
Using Kajiya sealsmithing techniques, as well as his own talemt and skill with the tools available to him, he worked on numerous weapons, each a good viable weapon, but never reaching Katsuo's standards until one day, 4 years into the agreement, when he presented Ketsui to his father. The blade was spectacular, it's functions both practical and unique to it. It was a weapon deserving of the name Kajiya, and true to his word, Katsuo finally let Tatsuya join the academy. He took a separate class due to his age, but he was able to pass well enough, and was soon on a genin team at the age of 15. While only being a genin for a year, he shown skill and determination to succeed and thrive in the environment, and while Katsuo is far from happy about it, he is proud of his son.
Katsuo Kajiya | 51 | Father, Reknowned blacksmith and owner of the Kajiya Weapon Store, where Quality is guaranteed, located somewhere in Minato City
Katsumi Kajiya-Terumi| 53 | Mother, An intelligent weapon maker, if rather odd and eccentric in her behavior, she often works at the family shop as a cashier when neither Katsuo or Tatsuya are available, and makes money by building little machines and gadgets here and there for people or offering IT services and repairs.
Manami Kajiya-Terumi | 26 | Sister, Works at the shop full time and is currently working as an apprentice under her father.
【Dreams and fears】 Tatsuya dreams of one day making a weapon that is on par with that of those of the Seven Ninja swordsman, as well as becoming a reknowned shinoi that would be an inspiration for others. Tatsuya somewhat fears his Kekkei Genkai, as he's afraid that he might accidentally hurt, and even kill someone one day to to him not being able to control it properly.

@PartisanSo, how much longer should we wait for j8cob, considering he hasn't been on the site in 3 days. And if we're moving on, we'll Tatsuya still be with the Aoi group.
We're not waiting at all as you can see. He can play catch up when he gets back. That means we won't switch people around either (?? if that's what you meant) so yes Tatsuya will still be in that group.
Actually on second thought, ask @Masaki Haruna because Shin apparently plays an important role somehow. So I'm not sure.
Hey, I made two techs for Chihiro, she's kinda sub-par and I hadn't realized that we were allowed more techs (not there there were many for gentle fist anyways) but these were the two that were made with the help of Spodes
Jutsu name: Tenketsu Needle: Chiryou Sutairu No Kobushi Katon: Self-Nin Taijutsu Rank: B Range: Self Description: This Technique was developed by Takeo Hyūga while attempting to train with Chihiro. Using Tenketsu Needle against Chihiro, he hit her in the arm and what they found was that that Chakra was building up in her arm. Using Tenketsu needle mixed with her Byakugan, she aims at her shoulder, effectively cutting off chakra flow to her entire arm. However in turn, chakra builds up within the arm that was effected. As it builds up, the chakra in turn, begins to physically appear above her skin in a blue hue. Usually invisible to the naked eye unless you have byakugan or something of the like, this Chakra is visible to the naked for others. Once above her skin, she then attacks normally, however there's a catch. If she were to miss, the aura makes up for the distance and hits the person being attacked with the hit. Effectively being able to clear the distance that she narrowly missed and hit them with the same force of the blow. The effects of being hit, are much like getting hit by a metal bat, extremely hard. However it loses it's gentle fist capabilities, it comes back with strength instead of stealth. This tech only last for 5 post in each arm and comes with a hefty draw back. Once past the combined 10 posts of each arm, she is no longer able to use those arms with chakra, like a normal Tenketsu Needle attack. It last for two hours or if she is healed and chakra is restored.
Jutsu name: Tenketsu Needle: Chiryou Sutairu No Ashi Katon: Self-Nin Taijutsu Rank: C Range: Self Description: This Technique was developed by Takeo Hyūga while attempting to train with Chihiro. Using Tenketsu Needle against Chihiro, he hit her in the legs and what they found was that that Chakra was building up in her legs. Using Tenketsu needle mixed with her Byakugan, she aims at her thighs, effectively cutting off chakra flow to her entire leg down. However in turn, chakra builds up within the leg that was effected. As it builds up, the chakra in turn, begins to physically appear above her skin in a blue hue. Unlike Tenketsu Needle: Chiryou Sutairu No Kobushi, this one IS ONLY a movement jutsu, under no circumstance is this used for close combat. As the Chakra builds up, it allows her to "thrust" herself forward to clear distances in front of her. She has no way of controlling it, it simply propels forward, matching the speed of Guy's Sixth Gate.
@Partisan, I meant when it comes to Saburo and Tatsuya's team, which has been stalled from the start, when I was asking about how long we'll wait. I was thinking we just say she took the chocolate or something, but that would just be stalling for time till Sav gets back. Can't we have the team go on ahead without Tsukiko, say she had last minute stuff to handle and that she'd catch up with them in Suna. It'd help keep things moving for Omega team, as well as leave things open for j8cob when he gets back online.
Since Masaki has been gone for 5 days and counting, we're gonna need to start thinking of a long term solution. I'm not one to 'take over' anything, technically I have no rights to do so and as such I would prefer to simply stay put where we are at the moment.
But there's a problem with that and that is that I do not have access to the OOC opening post, the IC opening post and technically have no editing rights anywhere. When mas was around we could circumvent that (painfully) by PMing her the codes and stuff for things we needed to have edited, but that's gonna be a problem if she just vanished.
And given that 90% of the content in this thread is, more or less, mine (OOC, locations, character sheet basis, arc 1&2 etc.) I think that I have a 'right' of sorts to simply re-use that for a re-boot. Simply because, well, our head GM is gone but nobody of us wishes to stop just yet (I think).
So what I propose is: I make a new thread. @Savato will be my co-GM. @Akashi Mayhiro and @Kal-El will still be in charge as co-GM's and I'll be placing a more specific workload on them (i.e character grading and helping with plots/arc control). I wanna clarify that I'm not feeling particularily fond of being in charge of everything so make sure to contact the GM team as a whole and not just me and Spodes.
I could clarify everything else too, but fact of the matter is I'd probably want to keep as much of what we have already intact, and as such we'd probably be re-using the characters we have already (unless, like, you want a new one). Even the OOC will be the same (okay, I might touch up here and there, since the rules need a re-work.) I will organise shit better (rulesets for jutsu, banned jutsu, jutsu only allowed outside of combat, etc.) Basically, I'll improve what we have already but I don't want to change it.
As for dealing with the current plot, well.
I wanna put that in your hands. I wanna know if you guys want me (if we go through with this) to skip until an interesting plot me and Savato had planned. I can't spoil it because it's a bit ground breaking and it will change the RP entirely, and it will shift the focus more towards Keihatsu, discovering what they are all about and maybe even switching sides (if your character is so aligned).
OR if you want a very clean, fresh start, we can simply skip the arc as if it never happened and start right after the 2.5 year timeskip. In this time the same things happened but anything after that will never have happened. The above plot will still happen but I'll need time to figure out where and when to implement it so it might not happen straightaway.
Give me your opinion or else I will decide for myself and in that case fuck democracy.
I'm still hoping for a magical Masaki return because I'd rather just stay put (less work for me) but yeah, we need to start thinking about a solution to our problem.
Also any suggestions for ANYTHING, IM me on skype, post here as a reply (you're gonna do that anyway to answer yes or no to the reboot, might as well add ideas) or PM me. I don't care about what the ideas are for, OOC, IC, plot ideas, fuck it you can PM me a picture of your dog or cat, I just need a response to know what to do.
