Do to some unique circumstances, Lyfe will be away from the RP for approximately 3 weeks. Afterwards he will be back and resume his duties and involvement in the story.
For the time being I will take the reigns of his characters and plot progression for the RP. I will most likely make a Post as each of his character tonight to advance any of you who have been waiting. I apologize sincerely.
I will also be appointing Froggy/Amphibian as a Co-Gm and have a smaller council made up of @reflection and @savato to monitor the OOC or Discord and answer any questions while I'm away, and review bios per my instruction.
Lastly, if you have any question or would like to volunteer to be part of the council let me know via PM. Otherwise let's all continue the RP and welcome Lyfe back with open arms at the beginning of next month.
Hey peeps I made changes to the roster on the front page. Anyone who's missing please link your bio in the character section tab and/or @ me in this OOC. Also if anyone could align the names properly that would be a huge help because I'm a fucking retard and don't know how.
This is an old project I've worked a lot in the past and eventually lost the CS. The idea still bugged me here and there, so, here it goes.
As a warning: The character is indeed heavily based on Minato Namikaze if you guys couldn't tell. It is basically an attempt to make Raijin a limited, usable technique that is not overpowered. It is merely for the 'cool factor' of things as well because I enjoy trying to adequate things. The character is also a work in progress, but I'm posting here because otherwise I will never finish it. I will add a few more canon jutsu and complete the CS later today, but for now, I ask for criticism/review of the custom tech which is the most important part of the character.
Thanks~

ใAppearance/Wardrobeใ While some shinobi represent exactly what they are in the simplest of ways, Yuu will never stand out as the fuinjutsu specialist and powerful shinobi he might one day be. The boy is a fair skinned young man with little to no scars or markings on his skin, the only marks being the ones which aid him with his sealing techniques and the Jundo's clan seal on his forehead - light blue, upside down small triangle. He's not a formidable man either, standing at 1.72m and being a lean person, with about 68kg on his form. His lithe musculature indicates lacking strength, yet the form of his body would indicate immeasurable speed and agility.
The dexterous young shinobi carries all asserts of equipment within him. Under this vest, two small pouches are visible on either side of him, below the rib cages. On his right, a larger satchel contains kunai and shurikens. On his lower-back, wire-strings and explosive tags in two separated smaller satchels. Prepared, at least, the boy certainly is.
His features aren't very remarkable: Bright green eyes are the prominent sight of his face, a delicate, elegant nose descends his face ending a small distance away from his thin lips. Occasionally, Yuu has been described as someone with sharp features. His hair is a dirty blonde, spiky with many strands falling around uncontrollably, while he takes care of his appearance, combing and brushing his hair seems out of question.
His casual attire and the one he is most seen using consists of a dark brown long sleeved shirt with a white vest with a green collar and shoulders above it, dark green cargo pantaloons tucked inside black shin-high shinobi sandals. He wears gloves which cover only the top of his hands and half of his fingers, tinted in red with the metal platings. His hitai-ate is embed at the left shoulder - he will occasionally ditch the vest for a more formal chuunin vest. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ใPersonalityใ Words that easily describe Yuu and who he is would be: Calm, collected, centered, intelligent, hardworking, dedicated and the most important of them all: A shinobi. Through and through, Yuu has worked hard to become what he is today and trained both his body and mind to follow the strict codes of the shinobi world. The world may be at peace, but a shinobi's soul is always burning with the desire of becoming stronger and stronger - at least, Yuu's is.
To some, Yuu may be a distant fellow as he makes little effort to develop deeper relations even with those of the same village as him - or even in the same team. While that may be true, Yuu's simply too focused on his own objectives and tends to avoid wasting any time with things such as petty talking and building relationships. He may never voice it, but Yuu considers friendship to be a detrimental thing in the life of a shinobi, it involves emotions and such things makes a shinobi weak. In Yuu's eyes, it steers a shinobi away from the true path of power and success.
For this reason, Yuu is not against making every effort within his reach to hide his feelings and emotions away. In the past, he might have been always anxious to make his family and clan proud, he might have cried himself to sleep when he failed and saw the face of his disaponted father, but now Yuu understands that he is a shinobi and such things aren't important.
Of course, that is but an external view of how Yuu is. His inner workings and who he truly is may be completely different things. In secret, Yuu may crave a lifelong friendship - or a relationship that'll develop into his own family. In secret, Yuu is a gentle soul who loathes causing harm to others, but does so without blinking an eye to ensure no one sees him as a weak and fragile person - and, of course, to never disappoint his clan. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ใHistoryใ The Jundo clan is not a known clan but they do reside in Konohagakure and have been doing so for the last few years. Their first contact with the village began in the Shinobi Wars when the leader, Shiro Jundo approached the Village offering a fighting force in exchange for protection and settlement. With powerful shinobi on their disposition, the Jundo clan found home in Konohagakure and served loyally the remaining years, up to this day.
The Jundo clan possess a system which divides the clan in many branches and those branches culturally follow their path - previously dictated by the head of the Jundo's clan. The clan's main branch is the ๅ ๆฅๅ Naisetsu-en - fuinjutsu specialists who guide the clan into greatness. This branch is composed only of the clan's head descendants and they learn most of the clan's secret techniques and seals. Those born into this branch receive a seal on their forehead - an upside down triangle. This mysterious seal grants their members powerful chakra levels, beyond the average shinobi.
The second branch is the ไบ็ชๆถฒ Niban Ketsu - those shinobi are trained together with members of the Naisetsu-en branch, but are forbidden of learning the Jundo clan's secret techniques. They often become formidable shinobi and are tasked with the protection of the Naisetsu-en branch. While forbidden, there has been cases of Niban Ketsu born learning the secret fuinjutsu of their clan.
The third branch is the ไธ็ท San'nan. Those are nothing more than housekeepers and take the menial tasks of the clan. They provide the necessary resources, tools and equipment for their peers. Yet, they are highly respected within the clan as all Jundo should be. There is no judgements within the clan: You may be born and put into a direct path, but that doesn't diminish the greatness you can achieve.
Yuu is the son of the current clan's headmaster as such he is not only part of the Naisetsu-en branch, but the heir of the clan as well. In the very day of his birth, he was granted the clan's seal - the boy was practically destined to be a powerful shinobi. As he grew up, he went through an intense and harsh training - his father was a strict man, even though he loved his son, he also desired them to be strong, powerful and capable of leading the Jundo clan.
To some, Yuu was a natural born prodigy - but the truth is that he began his training so early in his life, that the shinobi abilities he possessed were developed naturally as he became older. The academy was a breeze - there was a mutual agreement between the chunin and jonin that Yuu was capable of becoming a genin as soon as he entered and thus, he graduated at the tender age of seven. By the time he became ten years old, Yuu had already mastered many Fire Release Techniques and his clan's specific fuinjutsu.
Although genin missions offered little risk and were often menial tasks easily completed by the teams, Yuu found himself in a complicated situation which would eventually lead to his promotion as a chuunin. A man asked the village for protection between Konohagakure and a smaller village - all it stated is that he was afraid of common bandits and robbers, since he would be carrying valuable things with him. Unfortunately for Yuu and his team, the man was lying - he was in fact marked as a target by a criminal organization, but he had no money to pay for such protection.
On the way to their objective, the team was ambushed by five other shinobi. This was the first time Yuu utilized the Heavenly Seal and its components in a realistic battle - much to the relief of his teammates, who he saved with the help of their jounin sensei. Upon completion of this mission, the jounin reported and Yuu was immediatelly promoted to a chuunin, at the age of twelve. By now, he had developed Suiton as a second chakra nature and had been dabbling in the creation of his own techniques. Yuu might not have been born a prodigy, but he certainly trained hard enough to become one. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ใSpecial Traitsใ Yuu is a capable nin - versatile, well centered, intelligent and with a good head on his shoulders. He's complete, in the sense that he doesn't really lack in any field, but he's not a true specialist in any field, either. His strongest points would be bukijutsu, ninjutsu and fuinjutsu, as well as his rather unnatural chakra control talent - a trait thanks to his clan's seal. Yuu lacks taijutsu, kenjutsu and genjutsu, lately focusing on developing the latter - especially manners of defense against it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ใEquipmentใ
Name of Technique:ๅคฉๅฝใฎๅฐๅฐ Tengoku no Fลซin (Heavenly Seal) Type of Jutsu: Fuinjutsu, space-time ninjutsu, kinjutsu Rank: S Range: Relatively large, varies, self Nature Type: Effect: Time and space are conceptions which the simple mind can not grasp its concept, let alone formulate methods of utilizing it in an effective manner without harming themselves or the fabric of time itself. Yet, in the past, shinobi have dabbled with space-time and created effective methods, seals, ninjutsu and even dojutsu specific techniques that could siphon such mysterious power and utilize it effectively. The Jundo clan's ultimate prowess with fuinjutsu is reflected in this very technique, the Heavenly Seal and its related techniques and seals.
The complexity all begins with the limited space in which this technique is applied. First, the user of this technique must have a seal within himself - to ease the process and hasten it greatly, the Jundo clan tattoos the seal permanently on those who take the harsh mantle of learning this technique. Yuu's entire back has formulas of inexplicable seals that tie together ultimately forming the potent seal that represents ็งปๅ Idล (Movement). This seal encompasses his body and mind as a whole - acting as a protection from the harmful effects of entering a different realm and leaving it in such a small period of time. This seal can be applied to others so Yuu can transport them between realms, but they need to be willing subjects as the process takes hours.
The second step is the two triangles on each of Yuu's palms. Those seals allows Yuu to create the ๆจ็ Hyลteki (Target) seal with ease, all he needs to do is concentrate some chakra on either of his palms and touch on something, thus, the target seal will be placed whenever he desires. Yuu has many kunai with this seal applied to them, for both functionality and to make things generally easier for him. The purpose of this seal is that it marks a destination in the current realm, so whenever Yuu steps through another dimension, he will not be misplaced or appear in an unwanted location. All he needs to do is focus on the desired Hyลteki point and activate an one-handed seal with either of his hands in order to appear there immediately. Between his jumps, a recharge is needed to not overwhelm Yuu's mind - roughly seven seconds between each jump is enough.
Now the importance of the Heavenly Seal. Transversing through the realms and openings in the rift of time and space has a very taxing price for any normal human being. Especially with the rudimentary process of the Jundo clan. While a Jundo could certainly do it on their own, it would take mere moments for their chakra to deplete completely. The Heavenly Seal is a powerful yet temporary formula that is placed around a very large area - where the user assumes a battle will occur. Within this area, the seals ensure the safety of the user of space-time fuinjutsu, making the marked area become stable in both the real world and the alternative realm accessed by the user. When they jump into the rift of space and time, their body and mind is protected by the heavenly seal and the toll on their chakra reserve is greatly reduced. Weaknesses: For the whole technique itself, it is difficult to pinpoint a direct weakness as many shinobi may have different ways of dealing with an enemy who can instantly appear right next to them or avoid an attack at the very last moment. Of course, powerful as it is, this technique has limited uses which require the user to be very smart with when and how he'll use it. Chakra is a limited resource in the midst of a battle. Avoiding being touched by Yuu is a way to avoid being marked - but one would need to know beforehand what Yuu is capable of. To apply the Target Seal, Yuu needs roughly a whole second of physical contact with the palm of his hand.
Yet, for those who are very observant, they may easily predict the point of apparition if they are sufficiently smart to decipher the pattern. Or, for those who'd gladly take a violent approach, the Heavenly Seal dictates exactly where the battle will take place - it is simple enough to simply avoid the area inside the seal or to even break it, as it is not a very resilient seal. Otherwise, may just end for the battle to drag on - the heavenly seal only lasts twenty minutes.
Lastly, just for complitude's sake, Yuu begins any battle already utilizing 20% of his chakra, which is the quantity necessary to form a decently sized Heavenly Seal around him and his enemies - and of course the area of the battle. IF he utilizes it, that is.
Name of Technique: ็ดๅบฆไธๆๅฐๅฐ Jundo Ichizoku Fลซin (Jundo Clan Seal) Type of Jutsu: Fuinjutsu Rank: A Range: Self Nature Type: Yang Effect: Upon birth, members of the Naisetsu-en branch undergo a ritual for both commemoration of the child's birth and preparation for a sealing technique that has marked the Jundo clan's history. Many formulas are created with seven ends, each with the kanji for a determined element, including yin and yang. Inside this formula, at the very centre, lays the newborn - around him, a more complex seal is placed. Three adjacent shinobi well versed in fuinjutsu also surround the newbaby, forming a triangle around it - those three shinobi of the Jundo clan began performing synchronized handseals - the seals scattered on the ground began moving infused by the three shinobi chakra. Those seals all make way to the newborn's forehead, forming an upside down blue triangle - indicating the sucess of the technique.
This technique is what makes most of the Jundo clan peers formidable, Yuu is not an exception. It traditionally has been part of the clan since the dawn of it's existence - and its effects are extremely beneficial to the host: The seal helps their chakra pathways and allows the user to become highly well versed in chakra control to such a refined state that the user is capable of learning techniques with very little training. By activating specific tenketsu, the burden of learning how to control their chakra is eased entirely and becomes almost a passively done ability to the user.
There is another part of the seal, however. Upon certain death, an user may choose to activate the seal and ultimately destroy his own body - a temporal displacement will open starting on the host's own forehead, crushing down their entire being in a second. This is done to ensure that the secrets within a Jundo's clansmen body is kept exactly that: A secret. For many years deceased shinobi have been studied and the secrets of their body exposed, which is why the Jundo clan seal also has this rather drastic part.
Name of Technique:็ฒพ็ฅๆตๅๅฐ Seishin-Jลka Fลซin (Spiritual Cleanse Seal) Type of Jutsu: Fuinjutsu Rank: C Range: Self Nature Type: Effect: This is Yuu's own creation and an incomplete technique. The formula of this seal is placed on his chest and can be activated with his own chakra - the effects of this techniques are relatively simple. Whenever Yuu suspects being under a genjutsu, he'll utilize his chakra and activate this seal, which will attempt to disrupt any foreign chakra in his body and normalize his own, ending the genjutsu effect. While this is more reliable than 'Kai' and is able to stop even some B ranked genjutsu, there may be cases where this seal won't help. Such cases would be genjutsu specialists which are more experienced than Yuu and certain powerful genjutsu techniques of B and above rank.
@Project How big is the area the seal encompass? You didn't really say. Vagueness is not the best way to go about it. Especially when it comes to seals and space time ninjutsu. Also when touching someone or something your character can place a seal on them? How long do you have to have physical contact when doing that? And how long does the seallast? Is it indefinite or a set amount of time before the seal disappears?

Also I am the one known as Frogggy/Amphibian
Good calls. I wasn't being vague on purpose, by the way. I will edit that information in the weaknesses section.
@project Also there should be a cool down between the throws of your seal based kunai. Are you going to be adding more custom jutsu or anything of that sort?
