For her casual outfit, she wears a similar styled top and a grey ankle-length skirt. Asuka often has her hair up in a high ponytail, but she wears it out on her days off.



Personal Information:

---

Personality: At first glance, Asuka seems a little intimidating, with her sharp eyes, pale skin and tall stature. In reality however, Asuka is mellow and polite, especially coming from a clan that are known to be very proper and formal. She enjoys being around people that she's comfortable with, but keeps her distance from strangers. Asuka is also very respectful towards her elders and compassionate towards kids younger than her, having a big soft spot for little children.

On occasion though, Asuka can be a bit strict and scary sometimes, often criticising her friends for bad manners and/or behaviour. She expects maturity and politeness from people her age, but is always up for a laugh nevertheless. The Koizumi traditions that have been drilled into Asuka's head keep her cautious and on her toes, and she sometimes over thinks certain situations when things don't go her way. This may cause her to zone out, hide her face from others or even claw at her hair when no one else is around.

Her sense of duty to her clan is what drives her to become a stronger and better person. She takes pride in her clan and is determined to become their best fighter and representative one day.

History: Asuka was the firstborn child to Hana and Ichirou Koizumi. Her parents were respected members of the Koizumi clan, and were honoured the fastest of their clan. Asuka's life wasn't anything out of the ordinary, but, as a member of the Koizumi clan, she was to be taught her clan's customs and techniques at a young age. She entered the Academt at the applicable age and continued to train and enhance her skills under the guidance of her parents.

Her school like wasn't anything too exciting wither. When she first started, she was slightly feared for her looks, and most kids kept their distance from her. But, as the years passed, she gained a good amount of friends. Asuke tried her best to achieve the best grades she could, training long and hard to impress her clan and her parents.

When she had turned nine, Asuka found out something that changed her entire life. Both of her parents had been unfortunately killed whilst on an A-rank mission. Devastated, Asuka withdrew herself from everyone else, silencing herself in people's presence completely. She refused to go outside on weekends and spend time with her friends, and her grades began to drop drastically, for she hadn't trained in a long while. Asuka had no one to run home to or cry to anymore, and this fact greatly saddened her.

One day, Asuka was visited by her grandfather, who was looking to cheer the little girl up. When he was conversing with her, Asuka told him that he felt lonely without her mother and father, saying that she wanted them back. Her grandfather tried to comfort, her, telling her that the two didn't die in vain. He said that they had served as great ninjas for both the village and the Koizumi clan. He told her they would be remembered for generations, and that they would remain in Asuka's heart for as long as she lived. She then asked if she would be remembered once she died. Her grandfather nodded, telling her that she should work hard to be recognised by the village and the clan. He told her he should be proud of her parents and her clan, instead of mourning their deaths for years to come. This inspired Asuka to pick herself up again and start anew; she was going to become the fighter of her clan and be recognised by the villagers of Konohagakure, representing the Koizumi clan in all its glory.

Theme Songs:
'Well, my name is Asuka Koizumi... and yours is?

Battle Arsenal:

Weapons/Items: Katana

Description: Asuka possesses a traditional Japanese katana that she uses in battle. The blade is made of a secretly mined metal that glows a pale pink when it reacts to chakra.

Appearance:



Skills and Techniques:

Skills/Abilities: Asuka has phenomenal chakra control, which, like other members of her clan, she uses to enhance her speed greatly in battle. Asuka is also naturally fast and light on her feet. She has a talent for kenjutsu, as most of her family members have a tradition of using swords while fighting, and is also very proficient in taijutsu. Asuka also possesses a large amount of stamina, which enables her to fight for longer periods of time.

Genjutsu isn't really Asuka's strong point, as she focuses heavily on tai and kenjutsu in her fighting style. She's relatively good at ninjutsu, but not incredibly so. Asuka's accuracy is also quite poor, as she's more used to close ranged fighting rather than long distance.

Special Traits: Because of her lineage, Asuka is naturally fast and possesses and immense chakra control. Sge was born with a high amount of stamina and relatively good reflexes.

Description: Focusing her chakra towards her feet, Asuka sprints past the enemy with blinding speed, leaving an after image of her passing through the opponent. Whilst the enemy is distracted by her after image, she comes in behind them and slashes from above.

Weakness: Requires accurate chakra control. If Asuka isn't able to control her chakra well enough, the technique could fail, and she won't be fast enough to 'pass through'.

====================

Name of Technique: Crimson Spring Breeze

Type of Jutsu: Kenjutsu

Description: Asuka speeds past the enemy, and, as she passes them, she slices them with her sword. She repeats this process over and over again from different directions until the enemy is sloiced to death severely injured.

Type of Jutsu: Kenjutsu, Ninjutsu

Rank: C

Range: Close range

Nature Type: None

Handseals: Seal of Confrontation

Description: Asuka surrounds her body with chakra and sword, circling the target with immense speed. This leaves after images of Asuka, making the person believe she's created clones. The chakra works as some sort of barrier to prevent the enemy from escaping. She then draws closer and closer to her target, making the circle smaller and smaller. Once she's in close range with her target, she launches herself towards her opponent, slicing them once with her sword.

Weakness: Can be easily distrupted by earth levelling techniques(techniques that alter the height of the ground). Those who possess the Byakugan have a chance of being able to counter against this technique, with their 360 degree vision.

Village: Konohagakure
Birthplace: Konohagakure
Organization: Shinobi Forces

Clan/Bloodline: None

Rank: Jonin

Chakra Nature: Fire (affinity) and Wind

Character Appearances:

Appearance: Fuyuko is a tall and well built woman, measuring at 5'8. She has fair skin, steel blue eyes and black hair that flows down to her chest. Her casual wear consists of a loose, long sleeved black shirt, black pants and a white scarf that she wears on cooler days. During missions, she wears the typical shinobi attire of Konoha, with the green flak jacket, long sleeved top and sandals.

Personal Information:

Personality: Fuyuko is a very jolly and cheerful woman who always seems to draw happiness and attention to herself. Confident and friendly, Fuyuko is generally a nice person to be around, always seen with a smile on her face. However, the woman also seems to have a sarcastic attitude at times and a cruel sense of humour. Her fun-loving and outgoing personality can also get her and others into crazy situations and insane dares, which is where her sarcastic and 'devilish' side shines the most. She can come off as a bit weird and even a little bit psychotic to younger kids, but chances are you're bound to have a fun time with this woman. Her loud mouth and so called 'insanity' are things Fuyuko is fully aware of, and only continues to joke about these things even further. Something that most people don't know about Fuyuko is her undying love for books… a trait that comes off as a really big surprise to others.

Although she's often seen with a bright look on her face, Fuyuko isn't one to be messed with. Strike a nerve in her and the woman will show absolutely no mercy. In the heat of battle, Fuyuko's serious side takes over, and, once she's set on killing someone, there's no stopping her. If fed with rage, the flame will only grow bigger until it destroys everything in its path.

History:

Fuyuko was born into a family of regular shinobi, and was the youngest sibling in the household. She had a strong, unbreakable bond with her older brother, and the two would often train and hang around together. Life had been relatively normal for the two siblings, and years later, Fuyuko made it as a Genin.

It was around this time when work began to pile up. Fuyuko and Akio's father had fallen ill, so their mother had to work way more than usual. Fuyuko also didn't have much time on her hands, and by the time she had turned sixteen, she had been promoted to a Chuunin status. Her nineteen-year-old brother had recently been promoted to Jonin as well, so the siblings were rarely around to look after their sick father. His condition continued to worsen over time, and, during the spring season a year later when Fuyuko was promoted to Jonin, her father passed away in hospital.

Devastated by Haruka's passing, the family grieved, and the mother fell into depression. Even after many months, Natsumi persisted that she continued to work for her children's well being, working herself to death for the family. Arguments had broken out about Natsumi overworking herself, but all she wanted was to recover from her husband's sudden passing. During a mission on a hot summer's day, Natsumi was killed by an unknown ninja, leaving the Wakahisa siblings to fend for themselves.

The siblings felt distraught. They had lost both parents in the short time span of two years. The two were on their own now, no mother or father to guide them along the road of life. Eventually, the two moved into a rented apartment, living the rest of their adult years together.

It took some time, but the Fuyuko and Akio managed to get back onto their feet, starting life anew. By the time she had turned twenty-three, Fuyuko had been appointed to her own squad of Genin, which, she had continuously waved in her brother's face. Life was all fine and good, but things soon spiralled into darkness.

A year later, Akio accompanied Fuyuko and her squad on a B ranked mission, which led to the downfall of her older brother. After being attacked by enemy ninja, the group got seperated, and Fuyuko had to make the choice of whether to search for her brother or her squad. The area was clearly filled with enemy ninja, so even if Akio was the stronger one, he would still be outmatched. As for the Genin, they were clearly weaker and had less experience, so they would be killed either way. Her head was in shambles; should she have picked the squad or her brother?

Coming to a decision she would soon regret, Fuyuko chose to chase after Akio.

It wasn't long before she had come across Akio, who had already been severely injured. Questioning her trust in him, Akio told Fuyuko she should've gone for the squad instead, seeing as they were less experienced. Fuyuko could hear the screams of her squad from a few miles away, making her shiver with fright. She believed had done something cruel and unforgivable, which cost her her squad's and her brother's life. She Fuyuko returned to the village alone, depressed and utterly distraught.

Fuyuko was all by herself now; no one to look after or care for her. She started to drown in her own sadness, closing everyone off completely. It took many months for her to recover from the trauma she had experienced, and, during that time, she hadn't spoken to anybody. It was then when she decided she had to change. If she was going to live for many years to come, she was going to have to work through her depression and live life for the sake of her family. She started to interact again, smile again and laugh again, always having her family in mind. Fuyuko would visit the cemetery daily, and worked to protect her home village. She wasn't going to put anybody else's life in danger anymore. She was going to learn from her mistakes and make sure nobody's lives would be at risk.

Theme Song:
'Fuck... Where the hell did I put that damn book?'
'Oh, shit's about to get serious for sure!'
'Well... it's your fault for setting this tiny flame ablaze...'
'Heh... You kinda remind me of this one kid from a few years back...'

Skills and Techniques:

Skills/Abilities: Fuyuko possesses vast amounts of chakra which she has learned to control over the years. She is also talented in hand-to-hand combat, but her true talents reside in the area of Ninjutsu. Her reaction time is quick enough to deflect most incoming attacks, but Fuyuko lacks in speed. Another prominent skill is her strength, which she uses to her fullest in the hear of battle.

Special Traits: Fuyuko's chakra levels are rather high, which is something most people can sense at first glance.

Jutsu:

Canon Jutsu: Basic Academy techniques
Fire Style: Fireball Justu
Custom Jutsu:

Name of Technique: Ninja Art: Chakra Wall
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Surrounds the user entirely
Nature Type: None
Handseals: Seal of Confrontation
Description: Surrounding her entire body with chakra, Fuyuko creates a thin layer of armour that protects her from incoming projectiles and Taijutsu attacks.
Weakness: This thin layer can only soften hits, which means the stronger the punch, the harder the impact.

====================

Name of Technique: Wind Style: Concealment
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: B
Range: Surrounds the user entirely
Nature Type: Wind
Handseals: Bird»Ram»Rat»Snake»Bird
Description: After weaving her hand signs, Fuyuko is able to surround her body with chakra moulded armour, which cab deflect incoming attacks. A much more powerful and stronger version than the Chakra Wall, this technique also allows Fuyuko to mould an invisible sword made entirely of wind chakra. With this, she can send blades of wind with the swing of her sword. This armour can be faintly seen by the wisps of air surrounding Fuyuko's body.
Weakness: The more chakra that is put into the armour and sword, the more visible it becomes. Also, those who possess the Byakugan can easily see this armour in any state.

====================

Name of Technique: Fire Style: Ignition
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: B
Range: Surrounds the user entirely
Nature Type: Fire
Handseals: Tiger»Horse»Boar»Snake»Tiger
Description: Using the Concealment technique, Fuyuko ignites her armour with fire chakra. Using the wind chakra from her previous state, Fuyuko can increase the strength of her flames since Wind can be used to strengthen Fire techniques. This armour is also capable of burning anyone who touches it.
Weakness: The more chakra used, the hotter the flames become. Since Fuyuko isn't fully resistant to fire, the technique has a chance of burning her own skin. This technique also consumes a lot of chakra.

Name: Reiji Saikumo
Nickname/Alias: n/a
Gender: Male
Age and date of birth: 15, May 13th
Age Appearance: 16-17
Sexuality: Heterosexual

Parents: Yuuta Saikumo (father, deceased) and Haruka Saikumo (mother, unknown)
Length and build: 5'9", Lean and agile Reiji is toned enough to admonish against the idea the he is lacking in power.
Weight: 154 lbs.
Favorite weather and season: Reiji can be found admiring the snowy days of winter.

Village: Konohagakure
Birthplace: Konohagakure
Organization: Shinobi Forces

Clan/Bloodline: Saikumo - A clan who's members have become small in number and scattered across the lands.

Rank: Genin

Chakra Nature: Water and Lightning (Affinity)

Appearance: Reiji stands at a height of 5'9" with dark skin that is complimented by his platinum blonde hair. His hair is wild and thick, commonly compared to that of a lion's mane. His eyes are striking yet soft with a vibrant magenta color. His attire is what you see in the pic because I am not good at describing attire XD



Personality:: Essentially Reiji is a thrill seeker. He enjoys a good challenge, a good time, and a good laugh. He's quick to tease someone when he sees an opening. He carries himself with a cool, confident demeanor and a slight temper. Since he's willing to fight at a moment's notice it takes more than taunting to get under his skin but once you do he's quite the hot head. First to confront an adversary and last to retreat, Reiji is a shinobi hungry to test his strength. He's happiest when he's able to fight other powerful ninja.

However, that same affinity for battle is what scares him the most. Nothing else is important anymore when he's fighting a strong opponent. He'll forget his objectives and potentially put his comrades in danger. Because of this he is hesitant to let others get close to him. This also makes it hard for him to work well with others. You could say he's an untamed beast whose only purpose is to prove his dominance. Still, he hopes to find something he cares for more than fighting.

History:: Attending the academy, he got good grades and was a fast learner. Although he only joined the academy because his parents were shinobi; just thought that was the path to take since he didn't have any ambitions of his own. Soon, he came to realize he enjoyed fighting. The skills, jutsu, the game of trying to read your opponents next move, it was all a thrill to him. From then on he trained harder knowing that the stronger he got the stronger foes he'd get to face. Reiji still didn't feel he had found his reason for becoming a shinobi but combat filled the space for the time being. Until the day his parents didn't come back from a mission. His father was KIA but his mother was missing. Since there was no evidence she was dead and the body of the enemy they were fighting had been found instead she was declared a rogue ninja.

Being the child of a labeled traitor had it's drawbacks. The other students in the academy, once impressed with him and his skill, were now wary and anxious around him. Reiji excelled at combat and it was no secret he enjoyed it. With the knowledge of his mother many of the students had the same question on their minds: how long before he turns on them? None of that mattered to him. There were more important things that he needed to sort out. Reiji found that fighting was no longer enough to replace the answer to why he became a shinobi. He needed answers. What happened on that mission? Where is his mother? And is fighting the only reason he has for being a ninja?

Weapons/Items::

Name of Weapon or Item: n/a
Description: n/a
Appearance: n/a


Skills/Abilities:: With a strong handle on ninjutsu and taijutsu, Reiji is able to seamlessly mix both in battle. Combined with his smart use of his clan's Sekiun he becomes quite formidable. He possesses moderate skill with ninja tools making him a mid-ranged fighter. He is adept at stealth though he prefers a head to head fight. That doesn't mean he won't implement them when necessary.

Genjutsu isn't his strong suit. In fact he knows only one technique which required a lot of hard work for him to wield. His failings in genjutsu can be connected to his lack of chakra control; his reckless use of his chakra can potentially leave him vulnerable despite his enviable reserves.

Special Traits:: The Saikumo are noted for having great amounts of chakra and a natural intimidating presence.

Kekkei Genkai Hiden:: Sekiun (積雲, Cumulus)

Traits/Abilities of Hiden: Sekiun is a technique passed down through the Saikumo that allows them to manipulate the water in the air to create clouds for various uses. These clouds can be dense enough to be used as platforms or even shields, or thin enough to move through and use as cover. They can also be used as conduits for water and lightning style jutsu. Increased maneuverability, disguising attacks, softening blows; it's clear that Sekiun is a versatile technique but it has it's limits. Thought the density of the clouds can changed they are still clouds and are a poor defense against high impact attacks such as earth jutsu and cutting/piercing attacks such as swords and lightning jutsu. Obviously the less water the in the atmosphere the more difficult Sekiun is to use so dessert environments and the like render it near useless.

CLAN: N/A
KKG: N/A
RANK: Genin
AFFINITY: Water
-SUB: Earth (Chunin)

APPEARANCE: Ashy blonde hair cut into a chin-length bob after entering the Academy, fair skin and stormy gray eyes, one could say that Katai was a spitting image of her father, the only prominent features from her long deceased mother were the more gentle shapings of the nose and eyes as opposed to her father's hawk-like features. Her eyes are her most expressive feature as Katai's face is almost permanently set in a neutral expression, faint impressions of a smile or furrowed brow are great indicators of her mood if one can't catch her eyes.

Whether on the job or off duty, the blonde tends to favor neutral colors and is always prepared for a rainy day despite how colorful and hot Konoha can get in the summer months. On duty she can be most often found wearing a typical white shirt hidden by a high-collared gray jacket while pouches line her waist. Black leggings then extend down her legs, continuing under the knee-high ninja boots. Casual wear isn't much different, exchanging the leggings for loose capris and black sandals more typical to Konoha ninja.

Accessories found near constantly on her person include her hitai-ate tied loosely around her neck, a plain brown knapsack, a parasol, a mask and two large storage scrolls on her back. The significance of these things vary from personal attachment or usefulness which she has yet to explain in more detail beyond the parasol being one of the few things reminiscent of her late mother, whom she barely remembers.

Personal Information:

PERSONALITY: vindictive - obsessive - observant - logical - loyal

Katai is not as emotionally invested in things most people her age would be, rather ruling with a logic-based mind trying to follow the examples of her then single father and his adult peers. This however, had left her stunted with the norms of social behavior as a child and have often misled others into thinking she is cold or indifferent at first encounter. Such has been improved since entering the Academy with full exposure to her peers over the years in acting more her age, although she remains habitually formal when it comes to speaking or terms of address.

One milestone of emotion that Katai never seemed to fully conquer, was dealing with anger. She has a long memory for those whom she feels slighted her or those she deems as comrades and has shown to be somewhat vindictive in nature. Never expressing her misgivings beyond a look, all the while patiently waiting for an opportune moment to strike retribution--often displayed between the form of an inconsequential nuisance to a nasty surprise.

Despite these acts being borderline petty, she seems more willing to let go of any such grudge afterwards. The same does not always apply to the targets in question, which has the potential to repeat the cycle until one or both parties are reprimanded by a higher authority. Of which, she'll bury the hatchet and leave it at that if only for her higher sense of duty towards serving the Shinobi Force as a competent and potentially respected ninja like her father.

HISTORY: Katai was raised by her shinobi father, Nazo, and civilian mother, Tattoi, for two years before her mother died of a recurrent turned chronic case of pneumonia. Due to her age upon her mother's passing she barely remembers the woman beyond a few fuzzy memories with a red parasol but occasionally hears stories from her father on what she was like.

With Nazo being a shinobi and the only income to support his family of two, it was unavoidable that he had to go on missions--some of which were quite long. That left the man with no choice other than leaving his daughter in the care of her civilian uncle (mother's side) and wife while he was away. Having increasingly grown attached to her father (being the only parental figure for her at the time) and grew to idolize him and the ninja way, leaving it hard to connect to her civilian aunt and uncle whome attempted to divert her to increasing interest in ninja life to more child-friendly habits.

This remained the norm until Katai was around the age of six, when her father was dragged back to the village after a mission gone wrong. His troop was ambushed in their patrol by rogue ninja and he nearly lost his leg from mid-thigh down trying to save a fellow jounin from a trap (involving ninja wire and electricity) discovered too late. A medical ninja responded quickly, saving him from losing his leg entirely but the Lightning jutsu used cauterized part of his injury and left him with a permanent limp.

During his medical leave is where he met his current fiancee Akemi Kita, a med nin from the same hospital he was being treated in, in addition to being restricted solely to missions inside the village (with few exceptions). The close call in the field pushed him to spend more time with his growing daughter and her father home more often, Katai persisted in being trained by him in addition to her education in the academy, learning her aspiring specialties from both Nazo and her new mother figure.

By the age of ten, came her newborn half-brother Hiiro and her acclimation into the ninja Academy. Her studies remained average when not dealing with subjects of her intense interest but the stability of a full fledged family in addition to years-long peers have opened her up greatly to social norms she missed as a younger child and only pushed her further towards her goal of being an accomplished ninja.
