[OOC] Naruto: S.E.T.U

[Reflection]

I see people are still using the old Character Sheets I made ages ago. Hey, I'm rather interested in joining and probably filling in any roles needed. Is this acceptable?

[The Mad Hatter]

Thank God. I'm sure I was just about having an aneurysm trying to think of a character to make.

I'm gonna go ahead and say "yes"; you can have the spot I was supposed to fill, after the departure of another player, as a member of the SETU team (when they finally get out of that forest). ... If you can make a suitable character, of course.
However, I'm pretty sure Halvtand will drag me by my imaginary balls if I try and act like the one with all the power, so it's ultimately his decision. I think you should start work on a sheet, though.

[Reflection]

Alright, which spot would I be filling? I'd like to create a character to work in sync with my squad. Since I figure there are two teams.

[The Mad Hatter]

Well, there's one one team being played, but I can link you to the sheets that are still in use.

The SETU teams consist of five people each and the four that are currently actively participating are;
Makashi Ayane
Hōzuki Shingetsu
Moyasu Nathaniel
Hīringu Raito

My character, Nami Tsubasa will eventually get his part to play, but there's no need to take him into consideration.

Your balls is in grave danger, miss.

Here's the short...
We have a puppeteer, a swordsman, a summoner and a medic. We had a sort of swordswoman/jinchuuriki-thing, but that player has dropped.
The game revolves around a new team formation of five called setu and we're stikk going through the entry exam as one of these teams. The teams are supposed to be pre-made and since we started two players have dropped. One was replaced by making the dropped character a traitor from another team and we're still going through the whole "reveal"-thing.
If you want to get in asap I think the best we can do is just pretend like nothing has happened and your character just assimilate the dropped one. Having two traitors on the team seemes wrong and I can't really think of another way to get a new character in without making it weird.

@Halvtand

Plot twist, the whole team was made up of traitors from different teams the whole time.

[The Mad Hatter]

@Halvtand

The upside of them being imaginary is that they can't be hurt *insert manic laughter here*

Phantom pain syndrome, motherfucker.

[The Mad Hatter]

Phantom pain syndrome, motherfucker.

@Halvtand

I've been trying to come up with a good retort for that for two hours now...
I have failed. Congratulations, you're smarter than a dane (just like the rest of the world)

@Halvtand

Actually... I have an idea for that! See, the character I'm making is the team sensory ninja who tracks others. She's going to be the granddaughter of the Tsuchikage, and I feel it would fit if she was pushed into the group after they get out of the forest. So she was pushed through by family connections.
I figured that would be an interesting character and cause some interesting group dynamics.

@Reflection

Maybe you should take a look at my character, anyways. He's a Sensor ninja with a KG and stuff. He's basically a spy-for-hire with his strenghts in concealing himself and uncovering others, so to speak.

.:EDIT:.
I just realized that I never actually finished Tsubasa's sheet xD It's been a WIP for more than a month /totallytypicalofme

[Halvtand]

@Bright_Ops Awesome post, let's see if it works :)

I'm currently not working on a post, anyone?

[Reflection]

I haven't finished the history yet. But it mostly involves Mori being pushed through into SETU at a young age because of family connections and because she's useful.

Name: Mori Nobunaga
Nickname/Alias: The Tsuchikage's Honorable Granddaughter.
Gender: Female
Age: 13
Sexuality: Straight
Village: Iwagakure - Village in Hidden in the Rocks
Rank: Chunnin
Chakra Nature: Earth
Appearance:

[+]

Personality: Mori is... Silent. Often because she feels nothing she says matters. Often treated differently due to her heritage rather than who she is. Under the shadow of the Tsuchikage, she is meaningless. Her name rarely used by others, instead only referred to by her 'title.' Maybe this is why Mori hardly speaks. She can hardly make eye contact with others, and often vanishes to go and do her own things. Others often misinterpret this silence as contempt for others. "Because she's the Honorable Granddaughter she thinks she's better." This is far from the truth. Mori is sensitive. Often overreacting to things others would see as minuscule or unimportant.
In fact, Mori will fight for her beliefs and opinions. Even when nobody agrees with her, she will continue to work on her views. While she may not speak about her beliefs, she won't change unless she sees some error in her thinking. This is not the same as her combat skills though. As she may change her approach on the fly.
But to those Mori trusts, she won't shut up. She talks almost constantly when she sees her views and identity as her own, rather than her role. Some may find this annoying, but she never means it that way.

History:

Other:

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

Weapons/Items: Standard kunai and shuriken set.

Name of weapon or item

Description:
Appearance:

pic

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

Special Traits:
- Average intellect. Mori is not considered a genius by any stretch of the world. She's just average.
- Fairly impressive taijutsu skills. Her Tsuujitegan makes it impossible to keep up against her.
- Decent ninjutsu, though it's rarely enough considering all the expectations others put on her.
- Complete immunity to genjutsu and the ability to interfere with other dojutsu that provide immunity to genjutsu.

Kekkei Genkai: Tsuujitegan

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

Jutsus:
Empty Cicada Shell Technique
Earth Release: Earth Style Wall
Demonic Illusion: False Surroundings Technique
Demonic Illusion: Double False Surroundings Technique
Genjutsu: Tsuujitegan

Custom Jutsu

Name of Technique: Five Finger Tip Explosion
Type of Jutsu: Taijutsu
Rank: -
Range: Contact
Nature Type: -
Description: This technique is possible almost entirely because of the Tsuujitegan, and utilizes it to it's most basic extent. First, the user identifies the target's nerves with the Tsuujitegan's piercing gaze. The analytically part comes into play, allowing the user to strike. The user strikes with the tips of her fingers. All five making contact. Chakra is released through all five contact points, rushing through the target body. The force of all five points connecting has the force of a full on punch. To top it off, the impact causes the target to fly away from the user at a rapid pace. This allows the user to put distance between them and the target.
Weakness: The user must strike at close range, and all five points must connect. This technique doesn't do much damage, instead giving the user breathing room.

Name of Technique: Five Finger Tip Eruption
Type of Jutsu: Taijutsu
Rank: -
Range: AOE 25 feet
Nature Type: -
Description: By striking the ground with the same methods used in the Five Finger Tip Explosion, the user creates a shockwave. Chakra rushes into the earth, breaking weak points in the structure. This causes the ground to explode, sending a shockwave strong enough to knock back others. This can be used on buildings and other solid objects.
Weakness: Requires solid ground.

I was actually wondering when that KG would show up. It's a miracle that I've gone through ten years of roleplaying (most of which were Naruto based roleplays) and no one has ever used it before.
I'm gonna be a good sort-of-girl and leave this one untouched with as much as a stick till Halvtand gives his verdict, 'cause OP KGs that only exsist in anime fillers kinda rub on me in several wrong ways...

[Halvtand]

@Reflection
I kind of have to agree with the hatter on ths one.
I've RPd in the Narutoverse for about as long and this is the first time I've seen this KG in a game. Most people just doesn't like it. Unfortunately, I'm one of them. It just has too much going for it to be balanced in any way. However, I'm not the kind of GM who goes "I don't like it, so you can't have it", because that would make me a dick. I'd like to know exactly what is going through your mind with this one, and how you intend to use this power.
There are other stuff I'd like to talk about as well, but as I feel the character is pretty much built around the Kekkei Genkai we should tackle that one first.

@Halvtand

I completely understand why a lot of people don't like this particular Kekkei Genkai. Mostly because it combines the powers of the Sharingan and Byakugan and then adds in a genjutsu that messes with other dojutsu.
Mostly, I plan to make it the lesser of both, and remove it's secondary abilities. I feel the idea of just being a bit less of the Sharingan's enchanced prediction, and a bit less of the Byakugan's range is a good balance. It's not particularly overpowered when you get down to it, but it can be a strong push depending on how the rest of the character is designed.

@Reflection

I will not be the guy who leaves someone hanging.
As a lesser form of the sharingan and byakuga I'd say that the jutsu is acceptable, but still very good, so good writing to balance would b a must. However I don't think it matters much as all my players seems to have abandoned the game.
