[OOC] Naruto: Black Sun

[Raijinslayer]

@Odinblegh, biographies kill me every time. Still, I should be able to make that deadline. Jutsu list is probably going to be another killer.

[Dion]

I can sort people into a team if they post semi-complete sheets (read: has most details already) that I deem good enough, but otherwise it'll be a tough sell.

[Raijinslayer]

Ye. I'll get it done. Like, I have the idea in my head, but wording it is what kills me.

[Dion]

@Raijinslayer yeah don't bother writing nice prosé for a character sheet -- it's a reference for me mostly, so just do the nice prosé in the backstory and everything else can be plain.

[Shortcake]

You know what? Yeah, you're exactly right. I don't think my lighthearted battle manga guy fits in this deep, intellectual Naruto fanfiction you guys have going either.

Guess my buddy will just have to go it alone. Sorry, man.

▸ Appearance:

Kajiya stands a bit taller than most his age, ranging arond the 5'7 -5'8 range, with bright red hair and reddish-amber eyes. His body is highly muscled, due to both his ninja training and his work as a smithing apprentice under his father leading to him having a relatively built physique for his age. Along with these muscles came a number of calluses and scars that tell the tale of all of the mistakes he had made up to that moment in his life while learning his craft, both as a ninja and a blacksmith of the Kajiya clan.

▸ Wardrobe:

Tatsuya's typical garb is usually are a pair of durable pants, resistant to both heat and tearing, steel-toed boots to protect his feet during his apprentice work, as well as to add some extra 'oomph' to his kicks.For his top wear, more often than not he chooses to forgo wearing a shirt, as he feels it gets in the way of the intimacy he has with his forge, but he does have a jacket of sorts that he wears tied around his waist for when his partial nudity is considered "unacceptable" or "distracting." It should be noted that this tendency towards shirtlessness is a trait that many Kajiya smiths, both male and female, are often found adhering too. Another trait that these men and women share are a distinct array of dark black lines arching their way up the Kajiya’s back till they reach the shoulders, after which they spread down the arms, all the way to the back of the hand. At each major group of tenketsu or large bundle of tenketsu, there is a hollow circle with the kanji for Heat in the center of it.

Biography

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

▸ History:

For as long as he's been alive, Tatsuya has been enamored with blacksmithing. To forge great weapons as beautiful as any work of art, yet capable of great devastation in the hands of a proper wielder. As such, in his youth, he found nothing wrong at first with forgoing Ninja training to instead focus on the arts of his father, and his father's father, and so on and so forth. From birth, it had almost been decided that the young boy would be one to make blades, not wield them.

And yet, even in his youngest years, where he could only watch his father from a distance, he felt a stark difference between the Kajiya that his family told grand tales about when compared to the Kajiya of the modern day. The Kajiya of old where Swordsmiths and Fuinjutsu masters, said to have once been a sect of the Uzumaki clan of Uzushiogakure during the warrior clans period, or so the rumor goes. In the years that followed, they became more entwined with the rising hidden village of Kirigakure and are the clan behind the creation of the weapons of the Mist's 7 ninja swordsman(or so they like to claim, but there is precious little solid evidence to either support or deny it). Highly regarded for both exceptional skill on the battlefield and in honing of their craft, as well as their sense of honor, it would not be wrong to say that Kajiya clan was of great import to Kiri's foundations. But then came the time of Bloody Mist, and the Kekkei Genkai purges.

Despite having no KG to call their own, the clan stood up against the Mizukage for the atrocities committed, trying to appeal to their honor and reason, only to find themselves considered enemies of the village, a dangerous element that had to be dealt with. As such, the Kajiya clan was decimated, with only a few souls escaping the destruction and fleeing Mizu no Kuni.

The Kajiya of Ame, in comparison, are a mere shadow of what they once were. The descendants of those initial refugees trying to hide from the Bloody Mist's wraths, they provided much aid to Amegakure in exchange for their asylum, but all of their greatest techniques and rituals had been lost. Forced to rebuild themselves in the shadows, the clan kept to their pride as craftsman but had lost that adventurous warrior spirit that permeated the stories of old. And as such, their work had suffered greatly. Though they are still quality smiths, considered as some of the greatest in the creation of both chakra conductive weaponry and fuinjutsu imbued specialty arms, nothing has yet to ever reach the level of power and complexity that was seen back in their golden age.

Tatsuya saw this, and he knew that other of his clan saw it as well, but they had let the fires in their heart grow dim under the oppressive realities of their situation. They had grown complacent or, in Tatsuya's words, 'dull'. But as the heir apparent to the clan, Tatsuya refused to accept this as the only path his clan could take. He refused to let them wallow in mediocrity. So he decided to reinvigorate the old ways of the Kajiya, to mix knowledge of battle with knowledge of the forge, and to let war and carnage inspire him to create the greatest weapons of his era.

As such, he badgered his father into allowing him into the Ninja program, much to their discontent. However, he saw the passion in Tatsuya's eyes that hadn't quite been present before and felt that, even if he didn't succeed in his claims, it would do well for the clan to have a leader with some more worldly experiences under their belt. What followed that decision were years of hardship, determination, and many, many, many sleepless nights as he worked to become not only catch up to his classmates, but also continue his apprenticeship under his father, learning the clan techniques for chakra forging. To no surprise, he proved to be exceptionally skilled, even as an apprentice, already working more complex chakra channels into his blades by the time he entered his last year of the academy, but aside from that, he also seemed to develop a taste for combat and showed some skill at both ninjutsu and kenjutsu. By the time that graduation was nearing, he proved himself to be a capable fighter, using his own intimate knowledge of weaponry along with a highly aggressive fighting style to pass the exam with flying colors. Now he simply waits for a chance to prove his skill in the real world, eager and observant for the next even to inspire him onward to greater heights.

▸ Personality:

✓ Determined 1.

A well-known trait of all Kajiya is that they're a determined lot, and Tatsuya proves no different in this regard. It takes quite a lot to discourage him from something once he's set his mind to it.

✗ Perfectionist

A trait that many creative often suffer from, Tatsuya is one who will completely throw out a project if he finds even the smallest imperfection, and often falls into bouts of artistic blocks because of this, wondering what went wrong, how he could fix, etc, etc. He agonizes over these things so much, and this aspect can also be seen in day to day life as he finds himself irritated whenever he pots flaws in both himself and others.

✓ Creative-Thinker

An artist at heart, Tatsuya always tries to think outside the box in any situation, whether it be formulating a plan, working on a jutsu, or creating a new weapon, which gives him adds a good deal of unpredictability to his fights as he uses tactics his foes would never expect.

✗ Anti-social

Tatsuya is not a people person. He feels most at home either on the battlefield or in a forge and for a majority of his time in school, he stuck to himself rather than interact with his fellow students. That doesn't mean he can't work in a team, but his general disposition is to just do what he's told and keep his opinions to himself rather than communicate with others

✓ Honest 5.

while possibly questionable as a positive trait for a ninja, Tatsuya is a person who believes in Justice and honesty, and thus, is one that is hardly ever known to lie. . .

✗ Honest 6.

. . . even if it would likely serve his best interests to fib a little. He's honest to a fault and blunt as a mace, often lacking the social awareness to curb his tongue when asked for his opinion, even when speaking to those superior to him.

▸ Dreams and hopes:

ｘ To reignite the warrior spirit of the Kajiya clan and prove himself a worthy heir to the clan.
ｘ To perfect his skills as a Blacksmith
ｘ To perfect his skills as a Ninja
ｘ

▸ Desires:

ｘ To create a weapon rivalling that of the Seven Ninja swordsman(long-term).
ｘ To experience the world at large
ｘ .
ｘ Desire 4 (short-term).

▸ Fears:

ｘ That his clan will never be able to retake their former glory.
ｘ That he'll never achieve his Long term goal.
ｘ That he'll disappoint his clan as their heir and be unable to live up to their expectations of him.
ｘ Dying before he gets a chance to show the world his greatness.

▸ Motivations:

Ambition and Idealism are what make Tatsuya who he is. More than anything, he believes that, despite all the factors against him, he can bring the Kajiya clan back to their old heights of glory. In fact, he doesn't want to just get them back to where they were, but to surpass the legends of old and forge a new set of legendary weapons for his new home. More than anything or anyone in his life right now, this desire to recapture and surpass the glory of old for his clan, even at the cost of his own life, are what push him farther forward every day.

▸ Kekkei genkai:

Lava release

▸ Description:

Lava Release is a combined chakra nature, with the component natures being fire and earth. By melding them together, Tatsuya is able to create volcanic materials such as Lava, magma, and in some cases a rubber-like material. Not only that, but the Kajiya also use Yoton chakra as a critical part of their forging techniques, allowing for the composition of stronger, purer metals due to the heightened levels of heat.

▸ Strengths:

Lava style is a highly destructive chakra nature that compliments both a straightforward aggressive style, as well as more creative uses, depending on both the user and the materials they specialize in making. In general, the style is very versatile and dangerous, as it combines the great aspects of its respective component natures to the fore and amplifies them.

▸ Weaknesses:

Water style techniques, in general, can provide a pretty hard counter to Yoton techniques, as the contact with water can instantly cool them down and solidify them. Not only that, but the user of Yoton jutsu is not inherently immune to his own creations, and as such, if a yoton user creates areas of lava all over the places, they can easily find it used against them, especially against smart dot on users, who could redirect the pools of lava there way or incorporate them into their own jutsus.

▸ E-rank Techniques

The basic Academy Techniques

▸ Kajiya Fuinjutsu: Heart of the Forge

▸ Rank:

N/A

▸ Range:

N/A

▸ Description:

A Seal that is placed on every Kajiya blessed with the Yoton chakra nature. Its fundamental attribute is that it protects Tatsuya from the effects of intense heat(not fire, nor flame, but heat in general) via channeling a thin layer of Yoton chakra around them passively. This allows them to work in the crazy heat of their Yoton forges without risk of passing out from heat exhaustion or suffering some sort of heat stroke. In the future, however, this barrier can be consciously strengthened around his hands to allow direct interaction with the molten metals he works with, to better mold and meld them into desired shapes according to the Kajiya style, though he’s a long ways off from that. And while theoretically, this would give him an seeming immunity to Katon techniques, the Yoton barrier isn’t made to withstand direct assault from chakra-based attacks, meaning that it easily crumbles against such things.

▸ Weaknesses:

Can’t really think of anything to say here, it’s not made for combat.

▸ Kajiya Shīru tanzō Techniques

▸ Rank:

N/A

▸ Range:

N/A

▸ Description:

This represents Tatsuya’s knowledge of the Kajiya clan’s personal smithing techniques, of which he is only at the apprenticed level, though already considered rather advanced for one so young. The first level of Kajiya smithing, of which there are four(Apprentice, Adept, Journeyman, and Master). Ever since their massacre at the hands of Kiri, not one Kajiya has ever attained the rank of Master, and less than 3 have managed to achieve the lowest level of Journeyman status. Most of the techniques for achieving these levels were either destroy or taken from the Kajiya compound many, many years ago during the bloodline purges.

▸ Weaknesses:

The weapons made are only as good as the one who wields them

▸ Lava Style: Lava Blade

▸ Rank:

C(B)

▸ Range:

Short

▸ Description:

After performing a quick set of hand seals, Tatsuya will coat one of his weapons in a layer of protective Yoton chakra before sticking it in to either the ground, or an active area of lava from one of his other techniques. With a quick upward slash, the jutsu is activated, launching a plume of molten slag towards the opponent. When used by itself, the range is pretty small barely making for a couple feet of sparse spray and acting more as a disengage maneuver than an actual attack. When used with an active lava area, however, he can charge up the attack, causing lava to crawl up the blade(hence the need for the protective Yoton layer), and the longer he charges the attack, the bigger and stronger the plume will be, up to a maximum of about 3-5 meters with a much more condensed plume of slag that makes it look more like an actual blade of lava cutting through the air. Note that as long as the blade isn’t lifted in an upward swing, the jutsu will not disperse, allowing for Tatsuya to reposition himself if needed and not be a complete sitting duck, tho this has the added wrinkle of making the weapon in question rather heavy.

▸ Weaknesses:

The base spray is easily dodged and can be blocked by just about any kind of defensive jutsu, being more of a “back the fuck up”move than anything else. The stronger variation is usually harder to dodge due to the extended range but is still a relatively close-range technique, so anyone who can keep him at a distance is pretty safe. Not only that but if he moves with the blade still covered in lava, someone who catches him off guard can hit it with a Suiton technique to instantly solidify it, making the weapon even heavier than it was before until he manages to chip off the rock. Also, target the areas of active lava so he can’t charge up.

▸ Lava Style: Lava Creation

▸ Rank:

B.

▸ Range:

2 meters in diameter for the starting point

▸ 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.

▸ Weaknesses:

Hit it with a water jutsu and it’s just a patch of moderately warm rocks, or fight Tatsuya inside a building. Aside from that, it doesn’t really do anything on its own, being mostly a setup jutsu.

▸ 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 around his feet, forming what looks like two pairs of small wings along the users heal. With a simple mental command, one pair of the flaming wings will blast outward, giving Tatsuya a burst of momentum in whatever direction he’s facing, and can even launch him into to the air, tho not very far as of now. They can also be used in a more offensive function, say if he was to slam his onto a foe then activate, likely knocking them back aways with some slight burns, as the effect is much more concussive than a jet of pure flame. At his current level, he can only create about two pairs of wings, and as such, can only use it twice per cast of the justu.

▸ Weaknesses:

This jutsu requires a bit of focus in order for Tatsuya to keep the wings formed so any sufficient distraction, from genjutsu to a rather nasty smack to the head, could easily lead to him losing his control of the chakra and losing the wings. On top of that, the wings can be put out or smothered by any sufficiently strong Suiton jutsu or a Doton jutsu that causes his feet to get covered with rock or some other thick material.

▸ Tsuchi Tou Tou (Swift Earth)

▸ Rank:

C(B)

▸ Range:

Current range would be 6 meter at maximum, with 2 meter width, and the earth moves at high speeds

▸ 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.

▸ Weaknesses:

Tatsuya needs to have at least one hand touching the ground in order to use this jutsu, after making the needed hand seals, plus it can easily be disrupted in both Doton and Yoton form through the use of an equally powerful or greater Doton technique

▸ Equipment

Ketsui Bracers
▸ Type:

Arm guards

▸ Description:

Bracers made from some leftover metal from the forging of Ketsui, they are solid, durable constructions that provide Tatsuya with some defense against other weapon users. Like Ketsui, they can be infused with Doton chakra to increase their durability and resileince. They also have a sealing forumale place on the inside of the arm, allowing Tatsuya to summon any weapon sealed with in(usually Ketsui) at a moment's notice. This is especially useful when it comes to traveling with especially big or heavy weapons, as they can be a pain to lug around.

▸ Weaponry

Shurikens and Kunai
▸ Type:

Read above

▸ Description:

Basic ninja tools, though of better quality than the standard set. Carries about 20 shuriken and 10 kunai in their respective pouches at any time.

▸ Equipment

Kajiya Forging and maintenance tools
▸ Type:

Smithing and weapon maintenance kit

▸ Description:

A set of fuinjutsu inscribed hammers, chisels, a portable anvil, chakra-infused sealing tags for strength, edge, durability, heat, quenching, polishing, etc that help to speed up the forging process and ensure the quality of the weapon, as well as a preservative seal to keep works in progress in stasis and thus allow a Kajiya to continue his work on the go. Note that Tatsuya doesn’t know how to create most, if any of these tools, being just an apprentice of the craft. He does carry a fuinjutsu imprinting hammer that he made, more as both a memento(as it’s the first thing he forged himself) and an emergency tool because it is clearly an inferior product to what’s included in the standard set.

Alongside the smithing set, there is a whetstone, polishing and cleaning oils for the blade, polishing powder, a powder ball, a cotton cloth, and rice paper to apply the oils to the blade. Some Kajiya prefer to use Fuinjutsu alone to care for their weapons, but Tatsuya things it better to take the time to properly know and care for one’s weaponry. Often says it’s more respectful to the blade.

▸ Weaponry

Ketsui
▸ Type:

Odaichi

▸ Description:

A blade of his own making and meant to serve as a graduation present to himself, Ketsui makes up for its bland appearance with functionality and reliability. Made from chakra conductive materials and forged with the Kajiya sealing techniques to ensure heightened durability and a keen edge, it was made to be as strong and unyielding as the determination for which it was named after. Along with it’s fine construction, being able to hold up reasonably well to even chakra enhance weapons on its own(though it would definitely need some serious care afterwards), it can also channel Doton chakra to increase its resilience even further, as well as it’s striking power by making the blade weigh a great deal more. While this slows Tatsuya down a fair bit, the added density and weight can make for some devastating blows. Still, to counteract the drain to both stamina and chakra, he has to time his chakra flow so that it takes effect at the peak arc of the swing, then release it immediately afterwards, a timing he still has yet to completely master but when he does, will make for quite a deadly surprise for anyone who doubts the strength of his determination

Here ya go. Hope it falls in line with everybody else stuff, and if you have any questions about the Kajiya, feel free to ask for a clarification.

[Dion]

@Raijinslayer looks pretty fine to me, I'll forego a full review because I just woke up and I feel lazy + got invited to play a new game (thank @Tuujaimaa for that) so I'll pass on that for now.

The only question I have is how do the various chakra natures effect your jutsu? It's one thing to say it's weak to water which makes total sense, but if you use the jutsu, how would a doton defensive barrier fare? Things like that are much more interesting for people to know, as opposed to saying 'well just target the lava area'.

His attire in general isn't anything particularly special. For combat purposes, he wears the standard Amergakure genin uniform, though his is a slightly more form fitting to fit his thin frame. He wears the Amegakure band around his left ankle and the insignia of his own clan is engraved on a bracelet he wears around his wrist.

Outside of combat, he wears simple clothes like a t-shirt and jeans this is Naruto, not New York City circa 2018. i dont think jeans are around. Benzaiten is also known to wear garments resembling overalls and a large straw hat why. He tends to like this style for some reason. Apparently his grandfather makes a living as a farmer somewhere in the Land of Fire, so he seemingly mimics his grandfather's style whenever he comes to visit him and his sisters farmers in feudal japan farm, well, rice. I'm not sure that wearing overalls and straw hats is conductive to the image of a feudal japanese farmer. He can often be found carrying around a small drawing book that he sketches in when he is bored.

Biography

The Nana Clan
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

▸ History:

Born and raised within the confines of Amegakure, Ben always found his hometown to be somewhat ruffled. Even from a very young age, the perpetual rain was something that he could never completely attune to. This was a common complex amongst the members of his clan, a clan of cat-like shinobi who somehow settled within a city with which they had the least compatibility with of the major nations. Cats in a rainy city? What gives?

Ben had always been shy and bit withdrawn, opting to remain indoors due to the natural climate of his village. Instead of playing in the rain like the other children, he'd spend hours gazing out the window, drawing and sketching the images of the world and the people that passed before him. Like most in his clan, he would eventually learn to somewhat acclimatize to his village as he got older, but a lingering despondence would forever linger. Though still a wallflower, he would make friends like any other school child, his bloodline ability to turn into a cat especially a hit with the ladies. so you mean a literal henge no jutsu. that's not a kekkei genkai

Not that he liked girls anyways, he'd realize once he got a bit older, though he had a profound respect for them. Ben was finally entering the typical genesis of a young adolescent, discovering who he was and what he liked and so on and so forth. It didn't take long for him realize that though. He practically stalked one of his male classmates in his feline form for half a year. As the middle child of 7 siblings, life was always interesting in his clan; two of his siblings being pure felines made for interesting situations. if his homosexuality is a pivotal point of his personality instead of a side-piece of information i'm gonna be mad

When his father came back from war, it was invigorating to see him again, proud and strong and nimble, with a keen feline intuition and elusiveness. When he wasn't helping at the local animal shelter, he spent his time training in the ways of his father. Losing his mother when he was 12 was difficult to come to terms with, but he's come to realize with she will always be with him, in mind, body, and soul. you devoted more time to his respect for women and his homosexuality than the loss of his mother -- which was worth a measly 1 sentence

▸ Personality:

✓ Gentle.

Ben is known amongst his siblings as having always been the most agreeable of the bunch. He is sweet-natured, adorable subjective, and mild in temperament and speaks to others in a soft-spoken and gentle manner. This generally makes him endearing, loveable, and easy to talk to.

✗ Shy.

He is a wallflower through and through. Ben oftens feels awkward around new people and it takes longer for him to get to know them. He can be somewhat mistrusting of others. Ben gets embarrassed easily, but appreciates it when people approach him first.

✓ Patient.

One of his strongest qualities is that he is extremely patient. It's rare that he gets flustered by time. He has an uncanny ability and willingness to suppress restlessness or annoyance when confronted with delay. This makes him perfect for prolonged situations where patience is a virtue.

✗ Sensitive.

Ben can sometimes become easily emotional due to surrounding factors. He cries relatively easily it's like you made him into a stereotype homosexual tbh and his feelings can get hurt easily as well. Even simple things like a starry night can make him feel nostalgic what. His siblings say he is the crybaby of the family. When someone hurts his feelings, he often distances himself from others.

✓ Gentlemanly.

Like a knight, Ben is very courteous and chivalrous, especially towards girls. m'lady He does quaint things like open doors for them and let them eat first. Despite being shy around people, he is actually incredibly brave and gallant, a trait that makes him quite charming.

✗ Pensive.

His thoughts are always flowing, so much so that he sometimes becomes a bit pensive, getting lost in deep reflective thought. He can become so introspective at times, that he can seem a bit absentminded and melancholic and lose sight of what's ahead or miss important things that someone said. Ben is known to daydream often and can appear a bit lazy because of it.

✓ Cat-like Intuition.

Like a cat, Benzaiten is nimble, agile, and very perceptive of his surroundings and has a keen sense for danger. He has a very strong "escape" instinct, so when he feels cornered or trapped, it provokes an uncharacteristically powerful fear-based escape behavior within him, where becomes aggressive and hostile. (This can be a good or a bad thing)

✗ Insecure.

He doesn't have the greatest confidence in himself or his capabilities. Ben sometimes doubts himself, especially when he cannot achieve something that he really set his heart out on doing or when people around him are stronger. Because he can become easily discouraged, it is important to reassure him otherwise.

I skipped the rest, it reminds me too much of angel eyes
▸ Dreams and hopes:

ｘ Befriend a Legendary Beast.
ｘ Become a famous artist.
ｘ Rescue as many animals as he can. how noble
ｘ Become a chunin.

▸ Desires:

ｘ Meet his favorite painter. I didn't know he was into culture
ｘ Befriend different types of animals.
ｘ Go on vacation. when you live in an isolated country that has been wartorn for 100 years and has been trampled on by literally every other country, this is what you wanna do
ｘ Cat Naps. ok angel eyes

▸ Fears:

ｘ His sisters or father dying before he does.
ｘ Nightmares of his mother's passing.
ｘ Animals suffering and not being able to rescue them.
ｘ Losing his arms and hands. i think we can safely say that only the moronic or the insane do not fear this, so this feels a bit unneeded

▸ Motivations:

The world is a canvas. And he sees each part of the world as an important stroke to complete the grand masterpiece. same deal here as the background. you've devoted 1 or 2 lines to his artistic ability, but somehow it servers as a great motivation for him. i'm not sure why you opted to go that route, but it does not make sense to me why you'd choose to highlight this when your backstory says that it's more important that he can change into a cat, is nice to women (?) and is gay He desires a world where everyone can be themselves and stay in balance with nature and animals. He fights for peace and to prove to himself that he is more capable than he gives himself credit for. To fight like his father, to honour his mother, and to protect his 6 sisters.

▸ Kekkei genkai:

Feline Metamorphosis ok angel eyes, at least it's not the ''emotional sensing'' thing

▸ Description:

Members of the Nana Clan have the natural ability to transform into a cat/feline so.. henge no jutsu, taking on all the skills and attributes associated with them. This form varies between the members, some taking on more domestic forms while others appear to take after the wilder variety. Members of the Nana Clan can remain in cat form indefinitely so as long as they sustain themselves like a normal cat would. Members of the clan who get pregnant and give birth while in cat form what the fuck. no fetish shit in my rp, have offspring who are born as cats whAT and are unable to transform into humans for their entire lives. Because of this, the clan has a mixture of human and pure cat-form members, though communication between both remains the same. Members of the Nana Clan cannot communicate verbally with other people outside the clan while in cat form, but rely on transmitting faint chakra signals that share an impression of how they are feeling or subtle desires here's the emotion thing i was talking about. it really is you. Some people understand these signals better than others.

▸ Strengths:

This kekkei genkai not only grants the clan members all of the strengths, instincts, and skills of their feline form which are?, but they also possess enhanced regenerative capabilities when they rest >!?!?! why? explain it!! you just explained that they can have cat-sex and cat-babies but it says nothing about why they can regenerate by ''sleeping''?? is this a trait ALL cats have? and their saliva can be used to enhance the regenerative processes of wounds to heal others by licking them. ?!?!?!? why!?!? normally when people write stuff without explanation, it is relatively easy to figure out why they did a certain thing. but this, i just cannot comprehend honestly.

▸ Weaknesses:

Remaining in cat form for too long will slowly cause the cat mentality to take over until they lose/forget to return to their human form all together okay. They are privy to all the same weaknesses as a normal feline while in feline form which are? the inability to grab weaponry because no thumbs? this is so vague it can mean anything. if i kick a cat in the head hard enough it'd die, so basically you're saying your character transforms into a weaker version of a human that is objectively just gonna be more useless during a fight.. They are especially susceptible to steel while in their feline forms, and are unable to heal properly if they are wounded by a steel-based object. so........ literally 90% of all weapons used in naruto

Scroll

▸ Description:

This is a unique scroll that creates a diagram of the surrounding area and terrain as he moves around. This scroll is used as a medium for his terrain altering technique, that allows him to instantly make changes to terrain by modifying and altering the diagram.

Honestly I can't accept this sheet. You're giving me serious flashbacks to Angel Eyes and I strongly suspect (if not have it downright confirmed) that you are him.

First of all your insistance on playing with an English name is not good -- I specifically requested Japanese names, numerous times in the discord. Multiple people have asked for this, so it's not just me. I don't care that ''technically'' Benzaiten might be vaguely Japanese, having him call himself ''Ben'' is just dumb. I'm looking for some serious immersion here (yeah haha it's naruto, immersion??) and this won't do.

Secondarily, I just feel like you rushed yourself through the sheet, it's not complete (even if all the fields are filled in) and frankly does not come up to the standards of the other sheets I've received. Everything seems to be made specifically just so you can RP as a cat and while I don't really... mind, it does feel like you just didn't put in the effort that I have expected of others, who have gone above and beyond to create expansive sheets and expansive history with other characters/existing Amegakure lore. Some parts are short, lack explanation and feels pieced together from previous things or things you found that made you go 'hm I like this' -- it's just not cohesive.

I get that he's a genin and I get that there's not a lot of history you could write about his own history, but certainly his mother's death was worth something more than 1 line. Same goes for his father. We didn't even know he fought in a war (despite the last great war being 150 years ago) until the very last paragraph.

So I'm sorry, but I can't accept it -- both because I don't want to, and because the teams are pretty full as is and I need the space for characters that make more sense within the universe. It might be better to seek your RP experience elsewhere.

Given his choice of clothing the most common visual ones are the ones on his hands and the back of his neck. Aside from that, there are few other key features to note. Typical of the Masazane clan, he has dark hair, often tinted even darker from his constant work with metals. Additionally, he has intensely dark eyes. Kiken comes in average in height for his age group (164 cm). Kiken often looks thinner than he actually is, but comes in at roughly 49 kg, but due to his frame and the lack of overly developed muscle tone, he can physically seem easily dismissed - especially coupled with his generally lose fitting outerwear. Given his tinkering and smith work, he actually has decent muscle tone just from the continuous work.

Kiken's attire varies depending on what he is doing. Casually, he will wear an outfit akin to the picture. However, when actually working (or combat), the clothing tend sto utilize the same coloring, but go with a tighter fit on his body.

Biography

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

▸ History:

Kiken is the heir to the Masazane clan, providing approximately 54 people die before him. Kiken's father Iyo is the least favorite son of Masazane Io, the current head of the clan and the wielder of the Tamashi no Tanren [Forge of Souls].

Kiken grew up disconnected from much of his family, as no one aside from his immediate family would interact with Iyo or one of Iyo's sons. Despite the distance from the core, Kiken did not have as tough of a childhood as many others in Amegakure, due to the nature of the family business in weaponcraft. Even with the inability to put the official Masazane stamp on his productions, Iyo made enough money undercutting the rest of the family by not having to give a cut to the clan leadership, something that was only sustainable because Iyo was capable enough of a smith on his own to provide solid pricing, as well as quality.

As for why Kiken grew up disconnected from the rest of the family is the three sins of his father. The first was getting an unapproved woman pregnant, the second was not allowing the clan leadership to 'take care of the woman issue', and the third was marrying the woman and bringing her back to Amegakure. And, as an added bonus, they decided to rub against the common naming themes of the family. Of course, to make matters even more fantastic, Iyo and Touzoku, the wife he ostracized himself over, divorced when Kiken was 8. It was also the first time his grandfather even chose to acknowledge his existence, making an attempt to visit his grandson shortly after the divorce, just prior to his 9th birthday. When asked by his father if he wished to see his grandfather, he simply replied with, "No." Then, in true Masazane style, went back to work tinkering on a project he had begun.

The relationship with his grandfather 'warmed' over the year, mostly due to grudging acknowledgement that relationships with the rest of the clan meant he had access to the clan's wealth and network from their weapons trade. As well, it meant Kiken had, and would take advantage of, access to skills outside of his father's specialty. No longer would Kiken be forced to reinvent the wheel of his craft due to lack of adequate teachers.

Kiken would spent most of his time bouncing between residences. He was obligated to spend time at the residences of his extended family as he was trained, but also obligated to spend time at each of his parents. As a result, Kiken learned to pack light, not get attached to a lot of possessions, and walk on a political tightrope when speaking.

While many children may be upset their parents had split up (if they were even still alive in the climate Ame was going through), Kiken was grateful for the separation. He recognized early on that had the not been separated, it would have meant any relationship with the rest of the clan would have resulted in absolutely no break from what he called the 'Masazane nonsense'. At least when he visited his mother, he was able to spend a weekend here or there not being a Masazane. And, as a bonus, it gave Kiken a mental break from the rigors of learning the clan's skills to learn something entirely new.

Touzoku was an assassin by trade, with medical training and knowledge, which partially probably kept her alive despite some of the inclination of the Masazane to have her disappear. Also from a complicated family background from being a product of some of the less savory parts of the shinobi world, Tozouku put little pressure on Kiken to do anything, knowing others had that duty sufficiently covered. Kiken took advantage of time with his mother to learn a number of supplementary skills to his own weaponcraft - mostly covering fuuinjutsu with a touch of Raiton. Touzoku, as well as Kiken, knew that to learn the medical arts would force him into an eventual choice of which skills to focus on, which would only make things more complicated with the rest of the Masazane.

---

Clan Hierarchy & Focus

The Masazane clan hierarchy is determined through a yearly test of skill and overall commerce. Heralded as some of the best smiths in the world, the Masazane clan has a gift with the shaping of metal.

Clan leadership is determined by whichever members of the clan has the most verified sales of weapons or by any individual who has completed a work of superb caliber. After those members are identified, they are faced with forging a sword for a champion of their choice in a contest known as the Tetsu no Shōtotsu [Clash of Iron]. The winner, by either through defeating an opponent or by breaking the sword of the opposing champion, becomes leader of the clan. Lethal attacks are considered a violation of the rules of the current Tetsu no Shōtotsu, but this is has only been the rules for the last few years.

Clan History

Originally from the Land of Iron, the Masazane are an old clan and have forged weapons for the samurai from the land for their entire existence. Smithwork in the Land of Iron was considered exceptionally noble, and much like nobles trade marry off children to other royals, the early smiths of the Masazane clan used their children to form connections with other smiths.

One smith, whose original name was long forgotten, was said to have had so many sons and to have made the most legendary weapons, that he was only referred to by his surname. Owning a weapon of the smith Masazane, or being married into his family (to be able to put the Masazane stamp on their productions), was considered an badge of honor. After awhile, all of the smith families within the Land of Iron were related.

Once the original Masazane died, leadership of the family fell into chaos. It was proposed by Masazane's third son that they determine who is to lead the clan through the Tetsu no Shōtotsu. It was not unheard of in the early days for this to be a bloody affair with assassinations of smiths and champions alike. After the first Tetsu no Shōtotsu, leadership of the clan fell to Masazane's fifth son, Ito, who was considered to be almost as skilled as his father.

Ito would run the Masazane in the longest reign of the clan for over 63 years. With the heavy relation to a singular bloodline, many of the Masazane developed the ability to manipulate steel through a kekkei genkai known as Kōton, using a mixture of the fire and earth elements. It was also not unheard of for members to develop Jiton either in addition to Kōton or as a solitary alternative.

After the reign of Masazane Ito, leadership of the clan fell once again into disarray with leadership cycling repeatedly through a series of smiths that were closely matched between each other. Each year, the one currently in power would lose to one of the smiths he had defeated the year before. This period lead to the exodus of the clan from the Land of Iron to Amegakure, a gimmick one of the Masazane clan's leaders had suggested as a way to provide access to more markets for their goods.

It would not be for over hundreds of years before the leadership would yet again stabilize. However, this stabilization of leadership would continue to the reign of Masazane Io, who has lead the clan for the last 62 years. Io is often considered the reincarnation of the original founder of their clan with near unrivaled skill in the forging of weapons and the manifestation of both Jiton and Kōton at a high level. This is often considered because of Io's great number of male heirs (in order of preference by Io - Iro, Iao, Iso, Iho, Ieo, Ipo, Ino, Ido, Iio, Iwo, Ibo, Iko, Igo, Iuo, Iyo).

Masazane Io currently has provided the Masazane clan a level of prosperity unusual for Amegakure, solely through their clan reserves and historical networks of weapons trading that have persisted despite the political climate.

Misc: While rare, some Masazane do forge weapons for themselves for the Tetsu no Shōtotsu. Most members of the clan fall under competent or skilled with a weapon. For the Tetsu no Shōtotsu most form relationships with kenjutsu masters.

It is said some still participate in an underground version of the Tetsu no Shōtotsu known as the Ketsueki no Shōtotsu [Clash of Blood] as a form of gambling or a way to display power between Tetsu no Shōtotsu.

▸ Kekkei genkai:

Sōzō no Hi [Fires of Creation]

▸ Description:

The Masazane clan’s Kekkei Genkai, the Sōzō no Hi, confers upon its bearers several manifestations of power:

The first manifestation is that the bearer of this Kekkei Genkai can instinctively can identify the age, origin, creator, composition, and intended use of a crafted object - a power not limited to metal objects. The Masazane believe, by virtue of this aspect of their Kekkei Genkai, that each object is infused with a part of its creator's essence—which additionally enables them to sense significant events that have occurred surrounding the object they are identifying, but the significance of such events must be fairly high, to the point that only objects with some kind of folklore or a particularly long stint of use carry such information.

The second manifestation of the Sōzō no Hi is the development of combination release(s). Most commonly this is the development of Kōton [Steel Release].

The third manifestation allows the bearer to perform both simple and complex manipulations on any crafted object that are intimately familiar with (i.e., something that they themselves have created or something of generic design) at whim, to the point that the metal might seemingly appear to be a liquid instead the solid it actually is. This ability scales with the bearer’s overall knowledge and skill in both metalworking and in chakra control, allowing very simple manipulations at a basic level that can become extremely complex when the bearer is considered a true master of their craft.

▸ Strengths:

A highly adaptable kekkei genkai that is mostly bound to the creative whims of the wielder.

▸ Weaknesses:

While powerful, the Sōzō no Hi is not without limitations. Ultimately, most of the techniques utilizing the KG are easily avoided or deflected (even by techniques lower in rank), as well the Masazane must have made contact with a metal object in order to utilize their power. Objects with significant amount of foreign chakra can make utilization of some of the clan techniques more difficult, if not impossible depending on the level of those involved.

Kagayaku Yoroi [Shining Armor]
▸ Rank:

D

▸ Range:

Personal

▸ Description:

The technique is only a specific adaptation of the Unsealing Technique. Kiken released the armor pieces stored within the seals tattooed onto his body (in either the full set or piecemeal). It is style as traditional samurai style armor, an homage to when they served as smiths within the Land of Iron. One of the unique parts of this armor is that much of it is comprised of a series of interlinking pieces on its exterior layer, which has the current benefit of allowing damaged segments to be replaced versus the whole armor. It also is a part of a future technique for Kiken.

▸ Weaknesses:

The armor does add weight to Kiken's body, which does slow him down and has the same limitations normal armor would (points where the armor has a gap). Of course, Raiton and Katon can be especially problematic given it does not offer any mitigation from electrocution or burning.

Kōton: Yōsai [Fortify]
▸ Rank:

D

▸ Range:

Personal/Short

▸ Description:

A simple technique that can be completed with a single handsign that can significantly bolster the strength of a piece of metal in contact with Kiken (or close proximity) by channeling Kōton chakra through the weapon. By virtue of utilizing Kōton chakra, this provides extreme heat resistance depending on the amount of chakra used. This can also be used to make an metal object more dense, providing material exists. For Masazane, this usually comes from weapons stored within Enclosing Seals or the earth around them. This technique is also a large part of the basis for their physical manipulations of metal, allowing for metal they have extended contact with to bend and extend without breaking or even necessarily compromising its strength providing they are increasing the mass appropriately from other resources.

▸ Weaknesses:

This depends on the object that it is being used on. However, ultimately, this does not prevent Raiton techniques from being conducted through the metal or the technique from being overwhelmed by sheer power unless Kiken remains exceptionally committed to the reinforcement. For the manipulation aspect, a graduate would be able to easily bend and extend their weapon.

Gaman [Patience]
▸ Rank:

D

▸ Range:

Physical Contact

▸ Description:

Transfers an Enclosing Seal storing a single stored object onto something else that can be released from the seal even without contact with the new seal.

▸ Weaknesses:

Seal is visible and can be removed with appropriate countersealing techniques. This seal cannot be transferred to materials with a high concentration of foreign chakra. The eventually release cannot be used to summon and object within an object.

Kōton: Funsai [Shatter]
▸ Rank:

D

▸ Range:

Contact Required

▸ Description:

Shatters, and potentially reshapes, a metal object that is in physical contact of the user (or through a line of metal under their control) into various size pieces.

▸ Weaknesses:

Items with significant foreign chakra prevent this technique from being used on them (IE most special weapons).

TUUJNEEDSTONAME
▸ Rank:

D

▸ Range:

Contact

▸ Description:

TUUJNEEDSTONAME allows the user to pull metal from nearby surroundings/objects in order to create a weapon. The number and complexity of the created object determines the amount of chakra, handsigns, and times it takes for the technique to be enacted, as well as the skill of the user. A basic graduate of the Masazane line worth his/her salt would be able to easily create shuriken from the earth with only a short bit of contact. This technique can also be used, should there be a need, to pull raw materials from the ground.

The same weaknesses any standard weapons would have.

Hyakugei [Jack-of-All-Trades]
▸ Type:

Gauntlets

▸ Description:

With guidance from his clan, Kiken has created his primary craft tool. The gauntlets, which extend over the top of the hand, are a product of Kiken's imagination. Inscribed into the metal with painstaking artistry is a series of weapon seals, which, when released allow the Hyakugei to alter its function by adding different attachments. Currently, Kiken has a large, shield capable of covering the entire front of his body in each of them which can be unleashed with a single handsign. Additionally, the gauntlet possesses a crossbow attachment that can be operated without direct hand contact, including the reloading which is done via a separate seal (if desired). Each gauntlet possesses a blade that can similarly be pointed towards the front and/or back of his body, measuring about the length of a standard katana, with a less significant curve. Lastly, the gauntlets each contain an attachment for spools of wire that can be connected to throwing weapons. The Hyakugei is designed specifically with significant exposure to Masazane chakra, making it much more cooperative with Masazane clan abilities and is naturally fortified. While crafted specifically for Kiken, it was interwoven with seals (IE: Fortify), so it would be able to be used by a non-Masazane.

Kizoku Eizō [Noble Reflection]
▸ Type:

Unique Weapon

▸ Description:

Kizoku Eizō is a rectangular tube with nine forward facing holes in it that attaches to a rotating disc worn at Kiken's hips, just below his waist. The single hole that is not a part of a symmetrical pair houses a spear-like projectile on a strong metal cord, which is able to have some significant degree of manipulation in flight with chakra. These cords can be retracted via an internal winch or entirely disengaged. The spear-like end can release additional protrusions to reinforce its grip on whatever it is lodged into. The remaining spots are merely used to launch a crossbow like bolt. The Kizoku Eizō is designed specifically with significant exposure to Masazane chakra, making it much more cooperative with Masazane clan abilities and is naturally fortified. While crafted specifically for Kiken, it was interwoven with seals (IE: Fortify), so it would be able to be used by a non-Masazane.

Kiken took advantage of time with his mother to learn a number of supplementary skills to his own weaponcraft - mostly covering fuuinjutsu with a touch of Raiton. Touzoku, as well as Kiken, knew that to learn the medical arts would force him into an eventual choice of which skills to focus on, which would only make things more complicated with the rest of the Masazane. as much as i appreciate the diverse background, it sort of sounds like you want him to be a jack of all trades (which is fine in and of itself) but at the same time have him highly specialized in everything.

Clan Hierarchy & Focus

The Masazane clan hierarchy is determined through a yearly test of skill and overall commerce. Heralded as some of the best smiths in the world, the Masazane clan has a gift with the shaping of metal.

Clan leadership is determined by whichever members of the clan has the most verified sales of weapons or by any individual who has completed a work of superb caliber. After those members are identified, they are faced with forging a sword for a champion of their choice in a contest known as the Tetsu no Shōtotsu [Clash of Iron]. The winner, by either through defeating an opponent or by breaking the sword of the opposing champion, becomes leader of the clan. Lethal attacks are considered a violation of the rules of the current Tetsu no Shōtotsu, but this is has only been the rules for the last few years.

Clan History

Originally from the Land of Iron, the Masazane are an old clan and have forged weapons for the samurai from the land for their entire existence. Smithwork in the Land of Iron was considered exceptionally noble, and much like nobles trade marry off children to other royals, the early smiths of the Masazane clan used their children to form connections with other smiths.

One smith, whose original name was long forgotten, was said to have had so many sons and to have made the most legendary weapons, that he was only referred to by his surname. Owning a weapon of the smith Masazane, or being married into his family (to be able to put the Masazane stamp on their productions), was considered an badge of honor. After awhile, all of the smith families within the Land of Iron were related.

Once the original Masazane died, leadership of the family fell into chaos. It was proposed by Masazane's third son that they determine who is to lead the clan through the Tetsu no Shōtotsu. It was not unheard of in the early days for this to be a bloody affair with assassinations of smiths and champions alike. After the first Tetsu no Shōtotsu, leadership of the clan fell to Masazane's fifth son, Ito, who was considered to be almost as skilled as his father.

Ito would run the Masazane in the longest reign of the clan for over 63 years. With the heavy relation to a singular bloodline, many of the Masazane developed the ability to manipulate steel through a kekkei genkai known as Kōton, using a mixture of the fire and earth elements. It was also not unheard of for members to develop Jiton either in addition to Kōton or as a solitary alternative. this part would be cut out then

After the reign of Masazane Ito, leadership of the clan fell once again into disarray with leadership cycling repeatedly through a series of smiths that were closely matched between each other. Each year, the one currently in power would lose to one of the smiths he had defeated the year before. This period lead to the exodus of the clan from the Land of Iron to Amegakure, a gimmick one of the Masazane clan's leaders had suggested as a way to provide access to more markets for their goods.

It would not be for over hundreds of years before the leadership would yet again stabilize. However, this stabilization of leadership would continue to the reign of Masazane Io, who has lead the clan for the last 62 years. Io is often considered the reincarnation of the original founder of their clan with near unrivaled skill in the forging of weapons and the manifestation of both Jiton and Kōton at a high level. This is often considered because of Io's great number of male heirs (in order of preference by Io - Iro, Iao, Iso, Iho, Ieo, Ipo, Ino, Ido, Iio, Iwo, Ibo, Iko, Igo, Iuo, Iyo).

Masazane Io currently has provided the Masazane clan a level of prosperity unusual for Amegakure, solely through their clan reserves and historical networks of weapons trading that have persisted despite the political climate. which is likely to face them problems in the future if a large scale war does erupt and disrupts their trade network completely

Misc: While rare, some Masazane do forge weapons for themselves for the Tetsu no Shōtotsu. Most members of the clan fall under competent or skilled with a weapon. For the Tetsu no Shōtotsu most form relationships with kenjutsu masters.

It is said some still participate in an underground version of the Tetsu no Shōtotsu known as the Ketsueki no Shōtotsu [Clash of Blood] as a form of gambling or a way to display power between Tetsu no Shōtotsu.

▸ Personality:

✓ Realist

Kiken acknowledges his clan's resources and chooses to take advantage of them.

✗ Bitter

Kiken dislikes much of the Masazane clan because of a healthy mix of dislike over the way he and his immediate family were treated as well as their general exploitation of the world's climate to make themselves wealthier

✓ Independent

Kiken largely knew how to function on his own to balance the interests of all of his family's interests.

✗ Longing

Kiken wishes to be able to separate himself from the complications of his family and have close relationships that are less work

✓ Inquisitive/Open Minded

Kiken likes learning new skills and finds it relaxing.

✗ Trust Issues

Given the politics of his clan, Kiken sometimes struggles to separate the genuine from those working an angle.

✓ Honest

Has no issue telling anyone, especially politely, what he feels they should hear.

✗ Rebeliousish

Will occasionally disregard authority when they exert their authority for authority's sake.

▸ Dreams and hopes:

ｘ Creating a true masterwork
ｘ Start his own business
ｘ Owning his own home, complete with workshop
ｘ Getting promoted
ｘ BONUS: Defeating the huns and/or becoming Hokage while possessing 45.5 Sharingan.

▸ Desires:

ｘ Eliminate the clan's status quo
ｘ Finding a vision of success outside of his family's name
ｘ Reconcile the complications of his family
ｘ Finishing upgrades on his various projects

▸ Fears:

ｘ The clan will continuing functioning as-is
ｘ He will not be 'Kiken', just another Masazane for outsiders (aka customers) this is probably already the situation
ｘ Family will make life even more complicated
ｘ Stagnating

▸ Motivations:

Kiken is goal oriented, so he is motivated by events that advance him towards accomplishing his goals, hopes, and dreams without compromising his moral fiber. I'd expected a little bit more here but fair enough

▸ Kekkei genkai:

Sōzō no Hi [Fires of Creation]

▸ Description:

The Masazane clan’s Kekkei Genkai, the Sōzō no Hi, confers upon its bearers several manifestations of power:

The first manifestation is that the bearer of this Kekkei Genkai can instinctively can identify the age, origin, creator, composition, and intended use of a crafted object - a power not limited to metal objects. The Masazane believe, by virtue of this aspect of their Kekkei Genkai, that each object is infused with a part of its creator's essence—which additionally enables them to sense significant events that have occurred surrounding the object they are identifying, but the significance of such events must be fairly high, to the point that only objects with some kind of folklore or a particularly long stint of use carry such information.

The second manifestation of the Sōzō no Hi is the development of combination release(s). Most commonly this is the development of Kōton [Steel Release]. OK, I'm going to revise what I told you before. I am against giving your character both koton and jiton. For obvious reasons. But because your clan history details that they are not so much a clan as much as a federation of smiths that marry each other (and who adapted the name of Masazane purely for economical reasons) it is not unlikely that certain individuals might get either jiton or koton (but never both). You can conjure up a reasoning genetically for yourself -- but my reasoning is that smiths who had jiton might have had kids who had jiton, and smiths that had koton might've had kids with koton, and some smiths may not have had a KG at all. So, there are two distinct KG's that are prevalent in the clan -- but they are not inherent to the clan, and are more a result of political marriages (i.e. if a Senju married into the Uchiha clan, and adapted the Uchiha name (which typically does not happen) then their Senju traits (virility and so forth) would not suddenly become part of the Uchiha clan, and most likely would only be passed onto their direct off spring.) I hope my explanation was cohesive, but basically, the sheet as you have it here now is fine. I'd suggest making KOTON his kekkei genkai -- and turning the craftsmanship thing where he can determine a creator or so forth into a hiden peculiar to the Masazane to stay true to the bloodline limit thing. (Also, determining creators etc. just doesn't seem like a kekkei genkai to me).

The third manifestation allows the bearer to perform both simple and complex manipulations on any crafted object that are intimately familiar with (i.e., something that they themselves have created or something of generic design) at whim, to the point that the metal might seemingly appear to be a liquid instead the solid it actually is. This ability scales with the bearer’s overall knowledge and skill in both metalworking and in chakra control, allowing very simple manipulations at a basic level that can become extremely complex when the bearer is considered a true master of their craft. I am not sure what the direct effects are of this so you might need to explain it. This is a passive ability, no? But I don't understand what it does. I might need a better example than solid appearing liquid.

▸ Strengths:

A highly adaptable kekkei genkai that is mostly bound to the creative whims of the wielder.

▸ Weaknesses:

While powerful, the Sōzō no Hi is not without limitations. Ultimately, most of the techniques utilizing the KG are easily avoided or deflected referring to koton, this might be a weakness specific to koton, which is why I propose you make the other parts into a hiden or even just a hiden custom technique (even by techniques lower in rank), as well the Masazane must have made contact with a metal object in order to utilize their power not really a weakness as much as a limitation. Objects with significant amount of foreign chakra can make utilization of some of the clan techniques more difficult, if not impossible depending on the level of those involved.

at this point we have at least 2 clans who do things specifically with fuinjutsu. i really see no need to add this to your character as koton on it's own is already immensely powerful in my eyes and there are far more interesting things you can do with steel. i'm not gonna say no, i'm just disappointed that you didn't focus on a specific niche or thing for your character to focus on

▸ Custom Jutsu:

Kagayaku Yoroi [Shining Armor]
▸ Rank:

D

▸ Range:

Personal

▸ Description:

The technique is only a specific adaptation of the Unsealing Technique. Kiken released the armor pieces stored within the seals tattooed onto his body (in either the full set or piecemeal). It is style as traditional samurai style armor, an homage to when they served as smiths within the Land of Iron. One of the unique parts of this armor is that much of it is comprised of a series of interlinking pieces on its exterior layer, which has the current benefit of allowing damaged segments to be replaced versus the whole armor. It also is a part of a future technique for Kiken.

▸ Weaknesses:

The armor does add weight to Kiken's body, which does slow him down and has the same limitations normal armor would (points where the armor has a gap). Of course, Raiton and Katon can be especially problematic given it does not offer any mitigation from electrocution or burning. fair enough

Kōton: Yōsai [Fortify]
▸ Rank:

D

▸ Range:

Personal/Short

▸ Description:

A simple technique that can be completed with a single handsign that can significantly bolster the strength of a piece of metal in contact with Kiken (or close proximity) weakness states specifically that you have to touch it. consistency by channeling Kōton chakra through the weapon. ehhhhhhhhhh By virtue of utilizing Kōton chakra, this provides extreme heat resistance depending on the amount of chakra used. This can also be used to make an metal object more dense, providing material exists. For Masazane, this usually comes from weapons stored within Enclosing Seals or the earth around them. This technique is also a large part of the basis for their physical manipulations of metal, allowing for metal they have extended contact with to bend and extend without breaking or even necessarily compromising its strength providing they are increasing the mass appropriately from other resources.

▸ Weaknesses:

This depends on the object that it is being used on. However, ultimately, this does not prevent Raiton techniques from being conducted through the metal or the technique from being overwhelmed by sheer power unless Kiken remains exceptionally committed to the reinforcement. For the manipulation aspect, a graduate would be able to easily bend and extend their weapon. ... this isn't a weakness

Gaman [Patience]
▸ Rank:

D

▸ Range:

Physical Contact

▸ Description:

Transfers an Enclosing Seal storing a single stored object onto something else that can be released from the seal even without contact with the new seal.

▸ Weaknesses:

Seal is visible and can be removed with appropriate countersealing techniques which almost nobody has -- fuinjutsu is a rare thing to see and most people do not grasp it properly to the level that they can seal things randomly (look at Jiraiya being able to tell specifically who made a certain seal, inferring that seals are very rare and linked to the person that made them). I don't really see this as a weakness and it's pretty much like back in the old days everyone tacked 'genjutsu' onto their cahracters weaknesses because nobody used it. it's a freebie. This seal cannot be transferred to materials with a high concentration of foreign chakra. The eventually release cannot be used to summon and object within an object.

Kōton: Funsai [Shatter]
▸ Rank:

D

▸ Range:

Contact Required

▸ Description:

Shatters, and potentially reshapes, a metal object that is in physical contact of the user (or through a line of metal under their control) into various size pieces.

▸ Weaknesses:

Items with significant foreign chakra prevent this technique from being used on them (IE most special weapons). as it requires contact, the close proximity also allows the opponent to easily attack you (and given your lack of offensive jutsu and no specific taijutsu or kenjutsu element in your history... that will go very badly for your genin in almost all cases)....... right?

TUUJNEEDSTONAME @Tuujaimaa get on it
▸ Rank:

D

▸ Range:

Contact

▸ Description:

TUUJNEEDSTONAME allows the user to pull metal from nearby surroundings/objects in order to create a weapon. although canonically i think koton users can create metal from their bodies, i think this is better fitting to the 'smith' thing The number and complexity of the created object determines the amount of chakra, handsigns, and times it takes for the technique to be enacted, as well as the skill of the user. A basic graduate of the Masazane line worth his/her salt would be able to easily create shuriken from the earth with only a short bit of contact. This technique can also be used, should there be a need, to pull raw materials from the ground.

Hyakugei [Jack-of-All-Trades]
▸ Type:

Gauntlets

▸ Description:

With guidance from his clan, Kiken has created his primary craft tool. The gauntlets, which extend over the top of the hand, are a product of Kiken's imagination. Inscribed into the metal with painstaking artistry is a series of weapon seals, which, when released allow the Hyakugei to alter its function by adding different attachments. Currently, Kiken has a large, shield capable of covering the entire front of his body in each of them which can be unleashed with a single handsign. Additionally, the gauntlet possesses a crossbow attachment that can be operated without direct hand contact, including the reloading which is done via a separate seal (if desired). Each gauntlet possesses a blade that can similarly be pointed towards the front and/or back of his body, measuring about the length of a standard katana, with a less significant curve. Lastly, the gauntlets each contain an attachment for spools of wire that can be connected to throwing weapons. The Hyakugei is designed specifically with significant exposure to Masazane chakra, making it much more cooperative with Masazane clan abilities and is naturally fortified. While crafted specifically for Kiken, it was interwoven with seals (IE: Fortify), so it would be able to be used by a non-Masazane.

i'm... sorry, do you really need this? you have sealing, koton, doton, can create weapons from thin air, and now you also need a gauntlet that can literally do 20x and more? i get that he's supposed to be a tinker and i think that's great and all but i see no reason for this to be here at the moment beyond 'i think its cool'

▸ Equipment and weaponry

Kizoku Eizō [Noble Reflection]
▸ Type:

Unique Weapon

▸ Description:

Kizoku Eizō is a rectangular tube with nine forward facing holes in it that attaches to a rotating disc worn at Kiken's hips, just below his waist. The single hole that is not a part of a symmetrical pair houses a spear-like projectile on a strong metal cord, which is able to have some significant degree of manipulation in flight with chakra. These cords can be retracted via an internal winch or entirely disengaged. The spear-like end can release additional protrusions to reinforce its grip on whatever it is lodged into. The remaining spots are merely used to launch a crossbow like bolt. The Kizoku Eizō is designed specifically with significant exposure to Masazane chakra, making it much more cooperative with Masazane clan abilities and is naturally fortified. While crafted specifically for Kiken, it was interwoven with seals (IE: Fortify), so it would be able to be used by a non-Masazane.

same as above

▸ Equipment and weaponry

Sealed Masazane Tools and Weapons
▸ Type:

Various

▸ Description:

Many of these objects are stored within the connected seals on Kiken's body and primarily released through the seals on his palm. Throwing weapons can be released with tags already attached.
- 75 Explosive Tags
- 30 Flash Tags
- 30 Smoke Bombs
- 125 Shuriken
- 5 Katana
- 25 Ninjato
- 1 LHC
- 75 Kunai
- 300 Arrows/bolts
- 300 Makibishi
- 250 feet of sharp wire

i am most definitely not gonna count your equipment and quite frankly i see no reason to list these. what's a LHC? why does he need FIVE katanas? 25 ninjato? what is he, a hoarder? wtf

Overall it's accepted but I need you to think very deeply on why you think the gauntlets and the weapon he has is a good addition to the character. imho it just feels tacked on and feels like you've just stacked a couple of strong things into 1 character

- koton
- jiton (which you've already removed)
- fuinjutsu (a rare thing that requires specialization most of the time)
- a gauntlet that is hyper versatile and feels more like a unique legandary artifact than something crafted by a genin (and effectively negates most of the penalties for having to get in close range to do most his jutsu)
- a weapon that does much the same
- a shit tonne of hoarded weapons

I can literally disarm him and he'd just go 'heh... nothing personnel..' and just unseal another 20 ninjato. why? what's the point?

I'm gonna need some additional clarification and edits I think

Kusagakure Border Investigation.

Mission Rank:

D.

Description:

Kusagakure has always been on shaky, but relatively amicable terms with Amegakure, benefitting of a trade agreement that primarily dealt in weaponry being shipped to the Kusagakure shinobi. Recently trade has shriveled up and traders report that they were being turned back at the border without explanation. Although it is Kusagakure's right to deny entry into their country, there is something strange about this all -- especially given the fact that there have been no communicatins between Kusagakure and Amegakure ever since Yogensha took control of the Hidden Rain. We are dispatching your team to the border region to investigate and see what you can find out -- be careful not to attack any Kusagakure shinobi unless they attack first, as we would like to salvage this relationship.

Special Equipment Required:

@Odin

Hi Odin.

I hope I'm not stepping out of line, but I figured I should at least acknowledge this here, since I forgot to yesterday and It's still been on my mind.

I'm sorry about the type of characters I like to make, and that they share similarities to this other person.

And I understand the character I created doesn't fit the tone.

I am inexperienced, and still trying to learn here.

However, from what you have told me about this Angel person, I am neither flighty, fickle, or unreliable. No matter what though, I may never be able to convince you that I am not this other person. And that is fine.

I just hope going forward that you wont keep misperceiving me because of someone else's bad reputation.

But, if you're still okay with it, I would love to translate Erika(without the english name of course) over to this RP if a position opens up or you include more teams later.

I'm really enjoying the character and It would be disappointing to see her shelved so soon, since It doesn't seem like there is enough interest from people to see the other naruto story continued.

Well, Best Wishes.

Cheers!

[Dion]

@Aeolian I'll contact you if I have any positions that I think your characters would fit in, but 'Erika' is a no-go simply by nature of being a Yamanaka.

[Aeolian]

@Odin

I understand that.

I am willing to change her clan and techniques if I may.

But also getting another chance to make a more befitting character would also be good for the experience too.

Eitherway, thanks for the consideration at least.

Cheers!

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Biography

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

History

Unlike some, Teijo was not born in a clan. His parents were just regular shinobi of Amegakure who dedicated their lives to the service of their village. With his birth his mother, Fujiyama Kaiya, took a leave of absence to raise him. While she loved her child dearly she didn’t coddle him. There was always a bit of distance between them. Teijo was not planned and despite doing her best not to, Kaiya could not help but partially blame him for putting her career on hold. His father, Fujiyama Junji, on the other hand began taking on even more missions in order to keep their income at a reasonable level. Due to this Junji spent very little time with his family, having seen his son only a handful of times during the early years of his life.

Things changed substantially when Teijo became old enough to enter the academy. With him spending more time away from the house his mother rejoined the shinobi ranks, decreasing the resentment she felt towards her son though she remained distant because of her work. His father meanwhile shifted from taking on countless back to back missions to gaining a posting as a borderguard. Not as an official borderguard jonin, just a supplementary member.

During his time in the academy Teijo followed every order and rule given by the instructors to the letter, a trait that had been instilled in him when he was young. He had discovered that if he listened to his mother her mood improved and she spent more time with him rather than punishing him. This obedience also helped with his classes in general as it allowed him to focus on his studies. By the time he graduated he had an above average grasp of Taijutsu and Ninjutsu compared to other genin.

The next couple of years were spent with his assigned squad, learning the fundamentals of being a shinobi. He worked well with his team members for the most part, though as he aged an aggressive side of him began to emerge. He preferred to deal with problems head on and he had some difficulty thinking through the consequences of some of his more reckless actions. This second quality was largely ironed out during his time as a genin after his recklessness put a mission in jeopardy.

Shortly after he turned 14 his mother was killed while out on a mission. At this point the family as a whole wasn’t tightly bound, neither Teijo or his father were stricken with grief at her passing. Teijo was saddened by the event, but no more than if an acquaintance had passed. Two months after this found him promoted to Chunin. This was partially due to the threats that had been levied by Konohagakure against the Village Hidden in the Rain. Most of the mission he took on were escort missions and it was during his first one that he made his first solo kill. As a genin he had never fought an opponent one on one. Many more kills would follow over the course of the next year and a half.

It was while he was 16 that the tension between Konoha and Ame finally reached its breaking point. The battle that erupted was fought along the border between the two nations and lasted for a grueling 15 days. The fighting was nonstop. Teijo fought alongside his father throughout the engagement, both saving the other’s life multiple times. By the grace of the sage both of them survived until a stalemate was finally called. Konoha and Ame had both suffered heavy losses without gaining any ground. Following the battle mutual respect had formed between Teijo and his father.

Despite the prowess he had shown in the closest thing to a war Ame had experienced in recent memory, it took another year before Teijo was promoted to Jonin. They wanted him to get more experience under his belt before letting him take the test. Once he was promoted he joined his father as a supplementary borderguard, though unlike Junji he did not only work the border. He took on other missions on occasion.

While leading teams on this other missions, normally a squad of Chunin, his respect for rules and the chain of command were shown to have increased since his days in the academy. While he was willing to listen to the suggestions of his subordinates he always made it clear that it was ultimately his choice how they accomplished the mission. Insubordination was not tolerated, a lesson he had learned at the hands of his sensei.

A few months shy of his 20th birthday, Teijo’s father fell sick. It progressed rapidly, eating away at the older Fujiyama’s vigor until he was little more than a husk. It wasn’t long after that he finally passed away. Unlike with his mother’s passing, Teijo did grieve the loss of his father. The two had grown closer over the last few years and to have the chance to learn more from him stripped away damaged him.

The thought of taking on the most dangerous missions he could briefly crossed his mind, however he knew that his life was not his own to risk needlessly. He had always been devoted to his village, just as his parents were. So rather than indulge his selfish desire he continued how he had before. Working the border along with other missions.

By the age of 23 the last remnants of the damage caused by his father's passing had faded. He had also been promoted to being an official borderguard jonin. Much like every other mission he had taken he proved to be vigilant in his new posting. His aggressive nature had also been tempered over the last few years. While he still had a temper he knew better how to control it, a necessity with his promotion. The eradication of intruders was allowed, however it was meant to be a last resort rather than the immediate response.

Nothing of significance occurred until he was nearly 30 years old, which was when he met Tamai Ayuri, a civilian woman a few years his junior. The two fell for one another and a few months after beginning to see eachother, Ayuri became pregnant. Worry consumed Teijo when he was told, not only would he be bringing a child into the chaos that was the Elemental Nations but he feared that his child would have a similar upbringing as he had. This fear was soon resolved by Ayuri, she had no qualms about staying home with the child as he was bringing in substantially more than her anyway. While this didn’t completely ease his concerns, it did help. Within the next year their son was born, Fujiyama Tanzan.

Over the next near decade Teijo spent his time split between his work as a borderguard and helping Ayuri raise their son. He made sure to be more present in Tanzan’s life than his own parents had been. After much discussion he and Ayuri agreed to enter Tanzan into the academy when he reached six years old. That was nearly four years ago, and with his son nearing the age of graduation Teijo decided it was time for a change in his life. So he requested to be removed from border detail and be assigned a genin squad.

▸ Personality:

✓ Devotion

His entire life he has been devoted to the betterment of Amegakure and serving it to the best of his ability. In recent years this devotion has extended to his family.

✗ Strict

His respect for rules and the chain of command has turned him into a very strict man. Insubordination is not tolerated and at the first sign of it he will do what he can to snuff it out, just as his sensei had done for him so many years ago.

✓ Disciplined

Due to his many years of service as a shinobi it is difficult for Teijo to be shaken up or unnerved.

✗ Temper

While not as prevalent as it once was, he still has a temper that flares up. Typically this is reserved for insubordinate actions now

✓ Straight Forward

He doesn’t believe in subtly, while this was reflected in his physical behaviour in his youth it now manifests in his day to day life as well. He believes that the quickest way to reach a resolution to a problem is by facing it directly.

✗ Tactless

This is linked to his straight forward behaviour, he suffers from a lack of diplomacy. He isn’t going to kiss someone’s ass.

✓ Resolve

Once he has set his mind to a task there are very few things that will prevent him from accomplishing it, or at the very least doing everything in his power to do so.

✗ Stubborn

He has gotten used to doing things a certain way and it can be incredibly difficult to get him to change his views.

▸ Dreams and hopes:

ｘ For his son to become even stronger than him
ｘ To help Amegakure expand and grow to rival the other villages
ｘ Make more acquaintances among the Ame Shinobi
ｘ His genin squad to reach the rank of Chunin

▸ Desires:

ｘ To be a better father for his son than his own
ｘ Add to his repertoire of jutsu
ｘ Find more ways to help Amegakure
ｘ To be a proper sensei for his squad

▸ Fears:

ｘ The destruction of Amegakure
ｘ His family resenting him/loss of his family
ｘ Dying like his father
ｘ Failing his genin squad

▸ Motivations:

For most of his life the largest motivation for Teijo’s actions was his devotion to his village. He served Amegakure faithfully. In recent years his motivations have evolved to include doing right by his family. Fortunately as of yet there haven’t been any situations in which the two drives conflicted.
