[OOC] Naruto: The alternative.

[MMGiru]

Ah: I have been lurking also, but refrained from saying as much, since last I checked, there were exactly enough for a single squad, and I didn't wanna upset the numbers. Now, enough players for a second squad have materialized. Might I humbly (though I suppose it is a smidge audacious to pop up and say this out of nowhere) suggest a two-squad RP, if anyone else is amenable to that notion?

[Halvtand]

Kitty:
No problem, this will be our own story after all. We can make our characters have any personality we want.

LimeyPanda:
Nice to see a lurker, that means we're doing something right. :)
Feel free to chime in when we discuss something, perhaps a fresh pair of eyes can see something we can't.

Masaki Haruna:
Well, this puts us in an awkward situation.
On one hand it's great to have you here, enthusiastic players like yourself often bring good ideas and gameplay.
On the other hand the story pretty much limits us to three players, and there are three of us already. I guess we could open up the fourth spot (Jounin trainer), but that player would have to live with periods of inactivity.
If you don't know yet we were planning on going through the canon story from the series, and there are quite a few episodes where the team is separated from Kakashi.

MMGiru:
My reply to you is basically the same I gave Masaki. Because we want to do the main story there is a natural limit to the number of players. A second team wouldn't really work because we don't know what any other team is up to consistently through the series.

Sorry it has taken so long for me to reply, I got stuck in Dark Souls and couldn't put the controller down :P

[Ryver et Rhine]

LOL! Halv how could you?

Dark Souls is awesomely frustrating and deadly fun. @.@ Few games teach you based on your mistakes...

[Ryver et Rhine]

-stupid server-

[MMGiru]

Aaaah; sorry, sorry. I didn't realize you were making such a close recreation of canon events. Welp, I'll get back to lurking and internally debating the creation of my first Interest Check.

[Ryver et Rhine]

LOL Giru!

Why don't you form your own team of 3 in a seperate RP with the other two? :)

It will be fun to see how we each develop.

[Masaki Haruna]

Jounin..hmmm I can pull that off.

[Halvtand]

If you think you can handle it, then you're welcome to try. :)

I think that's it for our roles, so we should get our characters together. Does anyone have a CS that is preferred and thorough?

[Ryver et Rhine]

Nope. Maybe you can submit a sample? :P

[Masaki Haruna]

Appearance:

PAST as Onihime

Present Ruka

Present Day Ruka wears a Chinese designed Kimono which coincides with her new personality.

Name: Ruka Chitanda

Epithet: "Onihime" a.k.a Demon Princess, Kirigakure no Onihime aka Mist Village's Demon Princess.Now known as "Tenshihime"

Gender: Female

Age: 26

Rank: Jounin

Affiliation(s)+(Village): Kirigakure

Jutsus:
Ruka possess two elements, wind and water as well as basic academy jutsus.

Ninja Art Ruka's style: Tessen no kusari(Fanned Chains)
-A 20 inch fan that is rigged with six chains which acts as tendrils, this fan is where Ruka uses her jutsus. The fan is capable of enlarging itself to 20 more inches which acts as a shield and the chains cloaking it for better defense. Ruka's weapons are powered by her chakra and made by her. She sends infused wind chakra to her chains and fan to fan a wind attack. The chains are limited to six meters, Ruka can decide to disrupt ones chakra flow with it. Not a jutsu but a style.

S Rank Technique: Wind Style: Sen kyōfū
-Also known as the black wind(due to its concentrated nature), this jutsu is known for its offense and defense maneuver. A black wind covers the user's hand and strike like an assassin hence this jutsu contrasts with Hatake Kakashi's Chidori/Raikiri, both shares similarities, Ruka may do the same concentration power of the Raikiri however the difference is it makes lesser noise and the only noise you'll hear is the sound of the passing winds. This jutsu is also dubbed as Senk Kyoufu a.k.a "One thousand gale" and "A very strong wind". This jutsu was made by Ruka as to be known her signature jutsu. Likewise Sen Kyoufu can be infused in Ruka's weapons, mainly her fan the Fanned Chains. Ruka can also use this jutsu similar to how Kakashi run with the raikiri but she prefers using it with her fan for bigger impact.

The weakness of this jutsu is also tunnel vision which however can be avoided with the sharingan but in Ruka's case, in order to compensate for that weakness she uses sen kyoufu in a better fashion, which is infusing it with her fan to cover an area of effect, better spread/range effect. This is also avoidable by any means necessary such as jumping out of the way, side ways and summonings and defensive barriers like earth style. A totally concentrated sen kyoufu at full power can only be used four times in one day, variations however takes lesser chakra toll.

Cat Cleaving Hook Palm
- A cat like taijutsu that focuses on flexible movements, this is Ruka's main taijutsu style. It is not a jutsu but a style.

The jutsu she developed in this taijutsu is:
B Rank Technique: Cleaving Cat Palm

-This jutsu focuses on the user's palms and bodily coordination, a short-mid range attack, not to be 10 meters or more, the user spins in a tornado fashion but not like an Inuzuka's tornado. The main idea is to aim at ones vital points and potentially slow down ones chakra flow. This jutsu can easily be avoided by body flicker and by all means fast movements and the user can be render useless with genjutsu and ninjutsu. Ruka's other known move.

Water Stytle: Water Wall.
- A canon jutsu from the original series.

Water Shadow Clone.
-Yet another canon technique.

Water Ball Jutsu.
-Similar to the Great Fireball Jutsu is done, it cancels each other out.

Mystical Palm
-An A Rank medical ninjutsu.

C Rank: Summoning.
-Ruka can summon cats, she is able to summon cats for sensor activities.

Overall: As the creator of Ruka, I decided to list down her current techniques instead of listing down her old techniques as the Demon Princess. Ruka's moves prior to her current self is more genjutsu and kenjutsu based while now as seen above is taijutsu and tessenjutsu. Her fighting style today differs from her Onihime fighting style.

Fighting style: Taijutsu, Genjutsu and Kenjutsu(Tessenjutsu).
Field of Specialty: Taijutsu

Weapons:
Tessen, it is a war fan. Ruka is a master of using dual wielding fans which is used to deflect arrows and fan elements wind and water.
Katana, she was once a swordsman but now it is sheathed and she doesn't use it anymore.
Tessen no kusari(Fanned Chains)
-A 20 inch fan that is rigged with six chains which acts as tendrils, this fan is where Ruka uses her jutsus.

Personality:

In her younger years, Ruka was known as "The Demon Princess" (Onihime), and before her family's-death, she used to be a very feared person, infamous amongst the village and other villages alike. She is dressed in an inappropriate modified kimono, and was rather very temperamental and bad-mouthed everyone, especially her colleague, whom she had quite a rivalry with from when they were kids. However, due to a past incident involving the apparent death of her family and friends, Ruka somehow lost her will to fight and her personality changed drastically.

Now, Ruka is a loving and caring person who treats her friends, and even strangers, with kindness. She plays a motherly role within the village, and is often seen serving a restaurant as a waitress. She has rarely been shown to be in a bad mood, and can tolerate whatever eccentricities. However, there have been a couple events that have disturbed Ruka, including her discovery of traitors,coups and dangerous events as well as the death of her parents back in the previous war.

In keeping with her motherly role, Ruka is very determined to protect her comrades. She has gone so far as to change her appearance as a decoy by henge no jutsu for her village's Kage in certain missions, she also does this for her comrades to protect them. Ruka is talented at playing traditional musical instruments like the koto and a traditional guitar, she also sings and loves cooking. Ruka dislikes violence and people arguing, she is also afraid of spiders.

History:
Chitanda Ruka was known and feared as the "Onihime" or Demon Princess back in her younger years, she gained that title due to her ruthlessness and merciless fighting style in combat which is none other than her flexible taijutsu coordinated with genjutsu and kenjutsu. At the age of 7 she entered the academy and excelled at taijutsu, she used to be an over hyper and over boasting person, she graduated at the age of 11, promoted to Genin and a year later to Chuunin. During her Chuunin years, she developed her unique fighting style by learning the art of the fan and the sword, Ruka became passionate and obsessed with her development eventually she became aloof and this was the start of her path as the Demon Princess.

The path Ruka chosen indeed became a blessing to her family but such path only made her more or less, narcissistic and overconfident, she trained almost everyday and her training regiment is by breaking the rules, in other words testing her abilities on real battle. Ruka's reckless behavior led her to too many restrictions due to the Mizukage's worry, she was always doing things her own way and despite the good outcome she may give after missions and events, it doesn't change the fact that she puts everyone in danger. Finally attaining the Jounin rank at the age of 16/17 years old, Ruka's violence and ruthlessness became well known and to that she earned the title Onihime based on her deadly combat style of the fan,taijutsu and her relentless chasing down of opponents, another point of her ruthlessness. The reign of her reputation as the Onihime lasted for eight years and this is remarkable as it contrasts to the Bloody Mist events although she is not part of it, she's just as cruel as she used to be.

Prior to Ruka's change, it was stated that she joined the ANBU but only for a short period of time due to her disobedience. The death of her loved ones traumatized her so bad and this lead her to change.

Others:
Ruka's hobbies are cooking, singing and playing musical instruments.
According to her, cooking is dedication and love of the heart and soul.
She is very well known for always being second place in various quantity and quality.

Ruka dislikes spiders, horror movies, violence and people who don't give their best. Heart and Soul is dedication, you must give your all.
Beware, you have been warned. Do not piss her off, she'll go Onihime mode at you and be an entirely different person which is strict, do not take advantage of her kindness.
The author can't think of any named jutsus that are made by Ruka, it is blank for now.

[Masaki Haruna]

Right above you is my CS Sample and my cs.

[Ryver et Rhine]

Consulted Halv. Waiting for him to reply. =)

Hmmm might create a CS in the meantime.

[Halvtand]

Great to be back.

Masaki:
As a sheet for everyone to use it's fine. I can't think of anything right now that I'd want to add or remove from it. Good thinking there.
As a character it's not bad. You've put in some thought and obviously understood what it is we're trying to do here. My only big beef about it is in the jutsu area, I get the feeling that the character has something going for it in all areas of ninjahood. It's especially the mix of genjutsu/medical ninjutsu that bothers me. In previous games I've always treated them as mutually exclusive because it feels like they both need a lot of work.
I don't know, if you disagree please say so and we can try to find a solution.
BTW I think we agreed to go with the hidden mist (Kirigakure).

I myself haven't gotten far enough to get a CS together yet. I have decided to go with the Kaguya clan (Kimmimaro's clan), I think it'll work really well as a substitute for the Uchiha clan. More on that later. I'm off to answer Ryver's PM,

[Masaki Haruna]

I have no idea what jutsu for now so I leave it blank, mental author blocks.
Kirigakure will be good and Kaguya too..... Uchihas not being around makes more sense considering timeline. Let's not get to clan cliche.

[Halvtand]

I've put some info in the OP together with Masaki's character sheet, if everyone could use the same format I think it'll be easier for everyone.

[Masaki Haruna]

Thanks senpai!
Eto~ umm.... Call me Haruna! Masaki is the surname of my username, desho!~
I am working on the bio of my character and I realize one thing, she doesn't need any KKG to be badass, I'm putting the theme of hard worker surpasses genius and worked to gain her place.

Jutsu on the other hand, I think I will replace fire with water, after all we are in the Mist Village.
I will come up with her techniques which I'm trying to figure out and having a hard time because she was once a person who is ruthless and now a kind person, get what I mean?

[Ryver et Rhine]

=) I have created both a male genin and a female genin just in case.

I hope kitty will come back soon. =(

[Halvtand]

Haruna:
I'm glad you said that. Most people using a japanese-style nickname here doesn't know/care about this and it is quite a pain in the backend to sort out those who use the name correctly from those who don't
Also, you only have to specify a few signature moves. The rest will be handles by improvisation. We'll follow the original series pretty closely when it comes to power.

Ryver;
That's great, feel free to post the one you want to play the most. Hold off on the other one for now :)

I hope Kitty will come back soon also, but I think we should wait for a few days before we try to find a replacement.

[Ryver et Rhine]

I think I shall post my male genin's profile first. Male healers are awesome! =) Let me know if I have to edit anything...

No idea how I shall develop his powers yet. I am simply going with above average chakra control at the moment.

But don't worry! I can swap to a female with similar abilities at the drop of a hat in case no one wants to play a female...

Male Genin

Appearance

Younger Nori (aged 13)



Older Nori



Name: Nori Muira
Epithet: Seaweed Eater, Sea Monster, Kappa (by his classmates)
Gender: Male
Age: 12
Affiliations: Kirigakure

Jutsus:

Chakra Dispersion Techniques

Catnap Stupor

Swallowing a bitter kampo pill allows Nori to release a sweet smelling gas in the immediate area. He can spread it further by using chakra emissions. The scent causes the muscles to relax and breathing to slow down. These symptoms are often interpreted as sleepiness and may lull unwitting opponents to sleep. Prolonged exposure to the gas may result in the coma. The problem with this technique is that the kampo pill is hard for a genin to create. When not formulated correctly a putrid gas is released that induces nausea in those exposed to it. The stench also remains in the mouth making it easy to identify the culprit. The horrid smell is similar to that of decaying seaweed hence the nickname Seaweed Eater.

Cat Skip

The ability charges the users feet (shoes) and hands with chakra by dispersing a small amount that forms a freely moving layer. Doing so allows them to scale walls and walk on water at astonishing speeds. Unlike the usual technique employed by his classmates his ability enables him to conserve more chakra as lesser chakra is lost overall. This was the reason behind Nori’s feline agility when it comes to scaling up walls and trees. He often shows off his prowess by using this ability to run swiftly on or surf on the tumultuous waves along the coast. This earned him his other nickname Kappa.

Fighting Style: A hybridized form of Ninjutsu and Genjutsu that works in synchrony with taijutsu.

Field of Specialty: Ninjutsu

Weapons:

+ Light leather belt with a number of small pouches containing a variety of dried herbs and pills.
+ A wooden cudgel that he often uses to hit his classmates.
+ A pair of weighted ball bearings for balancing practice.
+ A coil of trip wire.
+ A medium sized knife.

Personality

Nori is the type of kid who loves reminding people to smile and live life to the fullest. Few things truly upsets him because he has a deep spiritual belief that life is intertwined with nature and life and death are things one must go through before being reincarnated. Not that he would tell that to his friends.

Most of his teachers believe Nori is far too carefree for his own good because he is often seen either skipping rocks with the younger children in the village or chatting with the elderly rather than trying to memorize the important things taught in class. Perhaps the only thing that ever engages him is the time he spends with his mother. It is not unusual to see both mother and son working together in the garden or going off into the forest to gather herbs.

History

Little is known about the Muira family. All anyone ever remembers is that the couple came to the village about 14 years ago and set up what would become the most popular okonomiyaki shop in Kirigakure. They were hardly outstanding. Just an average couple who owns a small family restaurant. Though neither parent claimed to be a ninja Nori knew quite a lot of basic techniques when he first enrolled into the Academy. As he progressed he began using techniques not taught in class especially his fighting stances using the cudgel. This often leaves his teachers perplexed.

Others

Nori loves cooking and nothing makes him happier than to bring extra food for his less fortunate classmates and seeing them enjoy it.

His father is extremely outgoing and the man is often seen drinking with his employees after the restaurant closes. Nori and his mother do not always join Mr. Muira.

Mrs. Muira is very fit despite being a housewife. She has no trouble lifting heavy sacks of flour to and from the store room. This is remarkable as the sacks are so heavy that two male employees have to work together to lift even one.

Nori loves fishing and he seems to know to get really fat ones.

He speaks what seems to be a nonsense language with his mom and he can imitate animal sounds.

While most of his clothes seem normal he has some pretty interesting ones like his deerskin poncho, his rabbit skin gloves and his fur lined boots. He prefers wearing these in winter. No one knows where his parents bought them from and certainly only Nori seems to be wearing them.

[Masaki Haruna]

Made my jutsus alreaey and I think I am gonna k7ll sometime and see ry oc.
