Shingetsu Hozuki

[No Image]

True mastery of oneself can only be reached by controlling both one's strength and weakness. That is my way.

Basic Info:

Name: Shingetsu Hozuki
Nickname/Alias: Tsuki
Gender: Female
Age and date of birth: 15, April 10
Age Appearance: ~16
Sexuality: Lesbian

Parents: Shiro Hozuki (mother, alive) and unknown Cloud Village ninja (presumed alive)
Adoptive parent: Momoe Shiemi, Konoha civilian
Length and build: 5'10", slim to the point of appearing frail.
Weight: 112 lb.
Favorite weather and season: The wild thunderstorms of late summer

Village: Konohagakure
Birthplace: Kirigakure
Organization: Shinobi Forces

Clan/Bloodline: Hozuki Clan, disowned

Rank: Genin

Chakra Nature: Water, potential for Lightning

Character Appearances:

Appearance: Tall and very thin, with the violet eyes and mouthful of pointed teeth that mark a member of the Hozuki clan. Unlike others in the clan, however, her skin is tanned and her waist-length hair is a dark blonde. Usually wears the standard Konoha uniform with a grey, striped jacket (once worn by the Second Mizukage) over it, wrapped tightly around her and closed in front of her face.

Personal Information:

Personality: Shingetsu is a highly disciplined ninja, determined to prove her worth and claim her place among the ninja elite despite being an illegitimate child disowned by her clan. She keeps up a fierce attitude toward strangers, seeing everyone around her as a challenger, but quickly warms to those who show her respect. She remains a woman of few words, however, preferring to let her actions speak for her.

History: Shingetsu was born a pariah in Kirigakure, abandoned by her family as the child of an illicit union. She was able to scrape by on the streets and learn the basics of ninjutsu by imitating the young ninja of her village and undertaking "missions" to find food and shelter. When she turned 12, she decided she'd had enough of the city. She broke into the Hozuki clan home, stole two relics from past members of the clan, and left for whatever village she came to first. Thus, she arrived in Konohagakure and was able to secure a place among their ranks based on the strength of her kekkei genkai and lack of ties to her birthplace.

Theme Song: Eastern Mystical Dream ~ Ancient Temple
Battle Theme: Bloody New Moon
Crowning Moment of Awesome:Thundercrack

Battle Arsenal

Weapons/Items: (Specific weapon that they often use. Everybody carries a set of kunai and shurkien with them.)

Name of Weapon: Kiba
Description: It is a pair of swords, each with slim and straight double-edged blades. Both blades also have an upward-curved bladed prong near the tip of one side of the blade and another one near the base of the blade's other side. They each have been imbued with lightning, displaying enhanced cutting power in a manner similar to the high-frequency vibrations of lightning-based chakra flow. These blades can channel the user's own respective lightning techniques or conduct natural lightning. As long as there is natural lighting to access, the user can battle continuously without tiring and launch lightning from the sky to strike anywhere within a large area.

Appearance

Note: Shingetsu is largely unaware of the blades' abilities, and currently can only use them as normal swords.

Name of Item: Razor Webs
Description: Long, razor-thin wires that can be woven between obstacles to catch unwary targets with a deadly surprise. Easily spotted in the open, but shadows or mist can make them nearly invisible.

Skills and Techniques:

Strengths:
- Excellent control of Hydrification ability
- Can use Hydrification instead of hand signs for Water Release techniques
- Good at setting traps and ambushes

Weaknesses:
- Highly susceptible to Lightning-based attacks
- Predictable in open combat
- Weak taijutsu skills
- Must remain hydrated to use Hydrification

Special Traits: Affinity for the Swords of the Mist

Kekkei Genkai: Hydrification Technique

Traits/Abilities of Kekkei Genkai: The user can transform all or part of their body into water, and move about with ease.

Jutsu:

Canon Jutsu: Academy Basics, Water Gun Technique, Water Bullet Technique, Water Clone Technique, Hiding in Water Technique

Custom Jutsu:

Name of Technique: Hydrification: Water Absorption Technique
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: D
Range: Close
Nature Type: Water
Handseals: N/A
Description: The user absorbs nearby water into their body, storing it for use with Hydrification techniques. This technique is used mainly to replenish water used for ranged attacks, but can also be used to absorb an opponent's water attack.
Weakness: If the water absorbed with this technique is contaminated, the contaminants will be absorbed into the user's body.

Well, hopefully the third time's the charm. I'll port Shingetsu over soon.

@Jay Kalton Aww, I liked Kanon...

Naruto: King of the Dusk

Yeah, I'm a bit worried about how slow this has gotten. I'm trying to wait on someone else to post what's happening in the restaurant before I send Shingetsu back in.

Naruto: King of the Dusk

Short posts are better than no posts. Especially during a conversation.

TaiGetsu ship still going strong IN MY BRAIN

@Jay Kalton

This might be the first example of straightbaiting in fiction...

Naruto: King of the Dusk

Shingetsu Hozuki

Shingetsu shrugged to herself as Kanon pulled Asuka away and into an alley.

Like I said, she didn't mean any of it. Glad to see she's making amends so quickly.

She was just about to head back inside when she sensed someone's chakra from a rooftop. She quietly jumped up on the back side and watched as Taibushi created his ice sculpture. She looked down at the finished product appreciatively.

"Perhaps, friendship is worth pursuing, I suppose I should try to overcome my social ineptitude."

"I would say so. It's good to have people you can rely on, especially for us."

She smiled and took a seat a few feet away, on the rooftop's edge.

"I like that technique. It's quite a nice take on street art."

Naruto: King of the Dusk

It's going to be interesting to see who people feel most comfortable with throughout the RP, zem friendships ja?

@Shard

Yeah, having everyone on the same team opens up a lot of opportunities for interaction.

Naruto: King of the Dusk

Ah, looks like Shingetsu beat Toko to the comforting. She was already looking for an excuse to get out of the crowd.

(Maybe I should get up to date on OOC before posting...)

I'm just waiting for the moment when Seichi does the harem jutsu and makes all the boys in the yard nosebleed

@Jay Kalton

It wouldn't just be the boys...

Naruto: King of the Dusk

Shingetsu Hozuki

Shingetsu sighed as Asuka stood up and excused herself.

Well, it could've been more awkward, I suppose... I can't believe Seichi really didn't know what Kanon-chan was getting at. Ah well.

She rose from her seat quietly and followed Asuka out, giving Kanon a reassuring pat on the shoulder as she passed.

Shingetsu stepped back out into the night air and leaned against the restaurant's outside wall, looking off into the middle distance. Asuka didn't need her staring, at least not until her face lost its red tint.

"Kanon-san seems to be back at one hundred and ten percent, eh? She really must want to be at the center of the group if she's drawing that much attention."

She stole a glance at her new teammate and sighed, smiling behind her jacket's collar.

"She didn't mean anything by it, Asuka-san. You know how she is, always speaking before she thinks it through."
