Appearance Descriptions

_{As compiled on basis of the 11th corps intelligence gathering, including pictures}

❖ Appearance--

Seichirō's facial features tell the tale of an unconventional allure. His green eyes, accompanied by a rather tanned skin complexion are a recipe for a lifetime of bullying and image issues, but somehow they work on him. He also has a scar that intercepts the bridge of his nose and touches upon his cheeks, a reminder of his childhood shenanigans. So far, the young Roga has experimented with two different hairstyles - the overgrown, messy one that's depicted in the picture, and an undercut. He mostly prefers the latter.

Seichirō's body is lean with a slight muscle definition, as expected from a chūnin-level shinobi. He has tattoos similar to one another in his biceps - they depict daggers, or at least that's what he was led to believe. He doesn't always cover his arms with bandages, only when there is a risk that he could be identified. He favors casual clothing when he's not in a mission, ranging from jeans to sweatpants to loose-fitting shirts. When on duty, he utilizes that same red combat suit that's shown above, maybe with minor changes [sometimes his headband is on his head, sometimes on his waist - what can I say, he's a nuanced fella]. He sports a pair of black boots, designed to be light in weight so as to make traversing through different areas a chore. His footwear when off duty consists of sandals or sneakers, depending on the weather. You may also occasionally catch him rocking a beanie.

❖ Height--

5'11/1,79 meters

❖ Weight--

141 ibs/64 kg

❖ Build--

Seichirō's muscle mass is barely noticeable, if even existent. He is lean, he is ripped, all part of his grueling shinobi training. However, none of these features can be detected by the naked eye, especially since he buries himself under a pile of clothes. One noticeable trait are his calves. They're very muscular, almost solid and very veiny. The veins pop out especially when he's doing legwork. This is due to the fact that the young Roga prefers to stray away from using his kekkei genkai (because of hazards that are further elaborated in the kekkei genkai section), and has to employ extra physical effort in order to dodge oncoming attacks and travel through different places.

Psych. reports

_{Medical secrecy applies.}

❖ Logical ❖ Passive ❖ Uncertain ❖ Ambitious ❖

❖ Personality --

Because of the Roga Clan's reputation, or lack of reputation thereof, their members are rather low on enthusiasm and appear to be indifferent to their own village and the province as a whole. Some have taken it as far as spreading rumors they're antagonizing the governing body. As true as that may be, that is not the case with Seichirō. Even though his cynicism and ruthlessness have been genetically transmitted to him by his ancestors, he is a rather affectionate and friendly person, relatively speaking. He doesn't bolt at the opportunity of forming bonds, but he appreciates the ones he has successfully made over the years.

Another feature that makes him unique from his own clan members is his ambition. His dreams of single handedly undoing decades of oppression and neglect are very unrealistic considering the circumstances, but even then, Seichirō approaches the subject matter with such a healthy dose of pragmatism that it actually makes you believe he's gonna someday do it. It's not to say that his clan's poor social standing has not affected his psyche. It actually has done terrible things to his self-confidence. His impressive intellect has enabled him to construct a variety of different, working plans and solutions to different situations. However, nine times out of ten, he's kept those out of public sight, fearing someone might sneer in his face.

Seichirō's insecurities do not manifest themselves as they do with most. He's not shy and bookish; he's rather fierce and talkative. He also employs sarcasm, which started as a defense mechanism and soon evolved into a form of psychological combat. He never misses a chance to toss over an armor piercing taunt towards his opponents while he is very careful to keep those to a minimum when with friends or colleagues.

The young Roga has no pronounced verbal tics, but he does use endearing terms like "cupcake", "sweet pea", "muffin" and other nouns as part of what he likes to call "mother talk". He rarely uses these to display affection and they're mostly there to highlight his sarcastic personality. He is rather analytical, off and on duty and his observation skills are way above average. He is not one to punch above his weight, knowing when and when not to go for a retreat.

❖ History--

Seichirō was born in November 5th on the grounds of the Roga Estate, north of Konoha, following a birth characterized by several complications. It took 37 hours for baby Roga to make the decision to leave the womb, a decision which he regrets to this day. While they haven't been vocal, the strained birth could very well be what made his parents opt to say NO to more children, even though they were pretty young at the time and had an entire life ahead of them. Growing up, he was not the most energetic kid in the neighborhood. His mother, Tomori, never had any trouble with putting him to a beauty sleep, much to the envy of her friends and peers. As such, both his parents took his mature behavior for granted and never bothered to supervise him. And eventually that backfired.

He was five years old at the time. His father came home from work and tossed over all his equipment on a corner. He wasn't sure why, but the kunai knife which was visible in his bag touched a string in his childish mind and he went for it. The Roga household rumbled with the shrieks of kid Seichirō. He had inadvertently caused himself great pain, a gash expanding from his nose, blood gushing down his torso. It was an ugly sight to behold. From there on, his parents switched up their methods to another extreme. They employed helicopter parenting. Whenever Seichirō went, he either had his mother, his father or a clan member chaperoning him.

Seichirō was seven when the Konoha province was annexed within the borders of The Hamajo Confederation. Even then, he had an inner gut feeling that something bad had happened, but he couldn't just quite place it. He noticed his father was acting shifty and, in an uncharacteristic act of rebellion, used his smoke ability to sneak on his parent's bedroom closet. There, he would listen on as Ryosuke would reveal he had lost his job because of the change in power. The Hamajo Confederation saw the Roga as useless and stripped them off from that little influence they had on the village. The child Roga couldn't associate the news with anything bad, as life on the village continued without much interruption. Sure, there were different politicians spewing their crap on TV, but he was seven at the time - he couldn't care less about which miserable pencil neck lost their job. He only realized what his father's backroom conversation meant when he reached genin-level. He even swears he heard a penny drop in the middle of his classroom when that suddenly dawned on him.

Ryosuke's demotion meant he could spend more time with his son. He was still a high ranking member of the Roga Clan, but they had run out of business. The thing with Ryosuke was; he wasn't the most talkative. His quality father-son time practically equaled to him reading a newspaper while Seichirō went on about his business. As such, Seichirō grew up to be socially awkward and didn't quite have a firm grasp of human decency and basic ethics. He had to learn most of those himself. A notable moment was his last fight during the Chūnin Exams. He had his opponent on a choke hold and, in a a move that shocked the entire audience, he brutally dislocated the guy's jaw, believing that's what must be done. The unison cheers coming to a sudden halt, the looks of horror he got from the crowds and the proctor; it made him realize that he was making a mistake. Thankfully, his adversary had actually used a substitution jutsu. His reckless move also won him the fight, intimidating his cowardly opponent. Seichirō won by forfeit.

He played the part of shinobi on and off over the years. Most of the missions he has completed up until this point are C-rank, with the exception of a few B-ranks here and there.

❖ Familial ties--

Seichirō's family is dysfunctional by outside world standards, but perfectly functional within the behavior range of the Roga. His father's passive and makes every word count. His mother's the opposite. Regardless, Seichirō loves both of them, and he is certain that they feel the same. Any parental neglect in the past was mainly due to their inexperience in raising a child and their obligations with other duties.

Ryosuke Roga | Biological Father | 40, Apartment in the middle of Konoha, A prominent member within the Roga Clan. Previously in charge of security in the Hokage's office.

Tomori Roga | Biological Mother | 37, Apartment in the middle of Konoha, Housewife and Seichirō's worst nightmare.

❖ Dreams, short term goals, and fears.--

Seichirō dreams and fears are both related to the bonds he's made over the years. He dreams of one day giving his clan the glory it deserves, in spite of being told by his own peers that it's an impossible task to complete. His fears are categorized in three layers and are closely tied to the flawed relationships he's constructed with others - fear about his village; history has proven Konoha was the most targeted village out of the bunch. Fear about his clan - he believes that his effort to restore his clan will go in vain or even worse, backfire. The Roga Clan is considered to be half past dead either way. It would take one push for it to disappear in obscurity.

The final fear, the third layer, is the fear for his family. As dysfunctional as his little family may seem, he does love and value them even though he would never admit to that in public.

But, as a wise man said ~ one step at a time. Seichirō's primary goal for now is to reach jōnin and make his father proud.

Combat reports

_{Gathered based on exercises, training routines, and combat experience reports}

❖ Combat style--

Seichirō's modus operandi is kenjutsu, but he's no slouch at hand to hand combat either. Since his kekkei genkai brings forth a plethora of health hazards, he refuses to use it unless necessary. He's very analytical and never attacks first. He believes that whoever attacks first is bound to reveal a susceptible spot much quicker than one who waits. If he does find that weakness, in whatever shape it may be (a blind spot, a recharge period), he will put pressure in it until his strategy begins working. He also has a counter-tactic to his own strategy, being able to switch his style with the flick of a finger.

The young Roga's only defense, however, is his own agility. He lacks the physical power or the array of weapons to defend against attacks and mostly opts to dodge them rather than take them head on.

❖ Kekkei Genkai--

❖ Name

Entotsu

❖ Description

When activated, the technique enables the user to convert his body to smoke. Skilled users can manipulate only certain body parts. If, for example, a user manipulates every part of his body besides his head, it'll seem like his head is floating in a puff of brown smoke underneath. If the user turns his entire body to smoke, then the majority of the time, there will be no discernible trait that can separate it from normal smoke or dust.

❖ Strengths

When in smoke form, the user is basically impervious to physical attacks, illusions or concentrated short and long range jutsu. He can enter an area that's out of his reach by slipping through the cracks, making it invaluable for infiltration and espionage.

❖ Weaknesses

Aside from the KG being reliant on chakra, it can also be very harmful to the user. If the user's hit by a powerful long range jutsu [like Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet], or especially a wind release attack that spreads out on a wide radius, the resulting damage could be the cause of limb loss and/or certain death. Long story short, any strong attack that can disperse smoke is fatal.

❖ Ninja techniques

■ A rank techniques

Fire Release: Ash Pile Burning
Earth Release: Earth Wall
■ C rank techniques
Earth Release: Subterranean Voyage
■ D rank techniques
Haze Clone Technique

❖ Custom techniques

■ Name
Smoke Release: Deadly Pellet Incursion Technique

■ Rank
B

■ Range
Long

■ Description
In order for the technique to work, the user must be in their smoke mode. It'll take one post for the user to transform into a dust orb and pool all his chakra in one singe point. Once that's done and if done right, the user will be able to fire themselves while in smoke form at an incredible velocity. The technique can be launched at an impressive range of 15 meters, at which point the user will revert back to their organic form. The human smoke pellet has such a high intensity that it can pierce through dense concrete.

■ Name
Smoke Release: Sentient Wall Technique

■ Rank
C

■ Range
Short

■ Description
In a similar fashion to the Earth Wall technique, the user creates a wall in front of him. However, when in tandem with Entotsu, Roga Clan members can become one with the wall. There will be small, barely noticeable dust particles around the wall when that happens. Aside from that, you can't tell the difference without a Byakugan or without another type of sensory perception. In order for the user to grab on an unsuspecting enemy, they must first release themselves from the wall while in smoke form and then turn into their organic form, as they are unable to use physical attacks that way. For the technique to work, the user must turn into smoke completely and not simply manipulate certain parts of their body.

■ Name
Smoke Release: Detachable Limbs Technique

■ Rank
C

■ Range
Long

■ Description
If the user only manipulates their arm while their hand is still in it's organic state, then they can launch it in whatever direction they want. Same goes with with their other limbs, like their legs or hell, even their neck. The technique however is labeled as a kinjutsu because of the risks that come along with it. A worst case scenario would be if the user launches a punch; if their punch is blocked, then their hand will be permanently detached from the rest of his body. Roga Clan members are strictly advised to only use it for grappling or rescue situations. The technique has a range of 15 meters.

❖ Weaponry and tools

■ Name
Yin and Yang

■ Weapon/tool type
Dual swords

■ Range
Medium

■ Description
Due to his over reliance on sword fighting, Seichirō always carries two swords, each with a length less than 60 cms. They're light and practical to use, perfectly conforming to his combat style. In order to tell which is which, Yin's handle is clad in bandages.

■ Name
Weapon Scrolls

■ Weapon/tool type
Scroll...of weapons.

■ Range
Long

■ Description
Seichirō employs two weapon scrolls, each carrying four windmill shuriken which he can directly deploy in combat upon completing the necessary hand ritual.

Let me know if anything needs fixing. I'll gladly do it.

P.S I had some huge coding trouble along the way. I'm a noob when it comes to that.

Count me in.

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six - UNION

[Full Name]: Darren Briggs

[Callsign]: Deacon

[Nationality]: United States of America

[Age]: 38

[Sex]: Male

[Appearance]:

Darren

Stands at a firm 6'0, weighs around 210 pounds. Has a scar in a shape of a vertical line, starting from his neck and down to the upper half of his back.

He wear a default RAINBOW opsuit with no modifications.

[RAINBOW Team _]: ECHO

[Specialty]: Interrogations Expert

[Background]: Columbia, South Carolina, born and raised, Darren had the makings of a warrior since an early age. Out of his three other siblings, all brothers, he was the one who preferred to stay outdoors the most. His childlike sense of wonder didn't flicker through puberty. He took his knack for exploration and his inexhaustible energy and used it to participate in several charity marathons, and many extracurricular activities. He decided to expand his repertoire at the age of 18, at which point he enlisted in the U.S Navy SEALs, choosing to abandon the possibility of a higher education.

After completing his required training in an approximate span of a year, he was shortly assigned to SEAL Team 4 where he took up reconnaissance. His first tour was at the age of 22, where he briefly worked in a two man unit in several deep recon ops concentrated around the Kunar Province in Afghanistan. He would take four more tours in the following four years. After a mission gone awry in Iraq, which resulted in the death of his own colleague, Darren would be the first of his team to see RAINBOW in action. His curiosity regarding the team's function and wildly unorthodox, yet effective methods increased, and much to his luck, he was notified that he was being groomed to be a part of RAINBOW. Apparently, they were impressed by his track record.

From that point on, his military activity ceased on strict orders, a period which he used to pursue college and receive a bachelor's degree in education. At the age of 28, he was recruited as an operative in RAINBOW, where he underwent grueling training. He was appointed to Team ECHO under the callsign "Mech". At that time, ECHO was under the mantle of team leader "Deacon" who instilled his views on ethics and their place in an asymmetric war such as the ones they were part of on a monthly basis. Seeing as how he had absorbed the "essence" of a RAINBOW leader, the position of team leader was passed down to him after original Deacon's retirement. To preserve his legacy, Darren adopted the callsign for himself. He was 35 when that happened.

[Personality]: In accordance to his reputation as a battle hardened soldier, Darren initially appears callous and distant to anyone outside his own team who has the displeasure of working alongside him. As a former SEALs member, he respects everyone that's above his paygrade, even when taking into account RAINBOW's fluid chain of command. As a child, he was described as energetic, with a perpetual, toothy grin on his face. But while his cheery personality was mostly obliterated a full decade ago, traces of it still surface time to time. This is especially apparent in his interactions with his squadmates (during breaks, of course) and family members. It's almost as if that behavior of his is only reserved for the aforementioned. He is also very big on wisecracking, and extremely good at it.

Regardless, his cold persona overtakes the moment he steps into a battlezone. It mostly serves as a tactical mechanism, as it helps him keep his mind on his objectives and in ensuring the safety of his teammates. He is willing to dish out advice to people with less experience than him, and has been referred to numerous times as "Rainbow's poster boy" for his unwavering loyalty to the unit and his willingness to get his hands dirty if it means getting the job done. In recent times, however, his job and the implications behind it have taken a toll on him, causing him to mentally question what RAINBOW stands for, and consequentially break what is considered a taboo within the regiment.

[Age]: 25 to 45. That's the limit.

[Sex]:

[Appearance]: Picture, paragraph, or both. If you're gonna go with picture, don't do anime. Also, try and explain how he or she will look like in their uniform. All RAINBOW operatives carry standard uniforms, however I did say you're allowed to make a couple of minor changes, so do include that as well (if you're actually gonna go with it).

[Specialty]: Something your character knows best. They can be an interrogations expert, a proficient hand to hand combatant, et cetera.

[Background]: All characters must have a military background as operatives in one of the aforementioned units.

[Personality]:

[Miscellaneous]: Anything else you believe is worth mentioning.

Relations Sheet

- Since your characters are supposed to know each other before the events that shall transpire in this RP, it would only make sense to include a relations sheet. To those who don't know, a relation sheets serves to establish a pre-existing relationship between RP characters. I believe it's mostly used in slice of life RPs, but since the team dynamic is something worth exploring, then it does apply for this RP too. What you need to do is talk with the other participants regarding your respective characters' relationship (via PM, or any other means of communication - just please don't use the OOC to do that sort of thing, keep it private) and then write down that information in the relations sheets. You don't have to share with us how your character feels about himself. If you think that's necessary, then such information must be included in the "Personality" section of the CS.

The sheet will use a format similar to;

[The Character's Name]

Behavior: [Camaraderie, Indifference, Hostility, Romantic Interest.]

Reason: [This is entirely optional, but if you want you can describe why your character feels the way they do in a couple of sentences. Nothing too insightful. It's just a teaser.]

~ Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six - UNION

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- It's the 21st Century, the beginning of an uncertain era. The mechanics of war have undergone major changes following a grueling process which was unwittingly set in motion during the early 60s. Enemies no longer carry flags, uniforms or gear exclusive to their motherland. They no longer speak their language, their accents coated by a thick sludge of deception. The wars we fight in the modern era are silent, bloody and unpredictable. There is no designated battle zone. There is no code of conduct. When the situation elevates, nobody is safe.

It's the year 2016. The US Government continues it's efforts to combat terrorism. The twist is; the threat of terrorism is more imminent than it was sixteen years ago. While the US were raising their shields in response to the actions of foreign insurgents, especially Middle Eastern ones, their circuits were fried on the inside by their own citizens. Tagging themselves as a populist militia group, an organization known as the "True Patriots" have decided to take it upon themselves to punish the 'wicked', those who oppress the majority for their own financial gain. They publicized their existence in July of 2013, after taking responsibility for an attack on a private security firm in Detroit. The company's stocks plummeted and with it so did a lot of Wall Street investors. Later that day, they also released a broadcast revealing their intentions. The fact that a terrorist attack happened under everyone's noses took the world by surprise, shock even. Public support for the "True Patriots" initially grew, but then dwindled after another attack on US soil that resulted in civilian casualties. The American intelligence community and law enforcement agencies were helpless in foreseeing and preventing the oncoming threats, while the "True Patriots" influence spread internationally. They were no longer an isolated issue, prompting NATO to send in their most effective counter-terrorism unit - RAINBOW.

With Team Echo on the forefront, the unit's tasked with averting potential attacks and ending the "True Patriots" once and for all. The unit's modus operandi dictates that the only way to deal with such a force is by employing extreme measures with no regard for ethics.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RAINBOW

RAINBOW Emblem

Founded in 2002, approximately seven months after the September attacks, RAINBOW has operated in over 54 countries for the last fourteen years. It falls under the direct supervision of NATO, which has deemed it necessary to install a separate justice system within the unit. Any misdeed, miscalculation or war crime is at first mulled over within the isolated confinements of their facilities, before they hand the case over to the respective authorities. This is done in order to preserve the unit's confidentiality. Yes, RAINBOW is a blacker than black unit, it's funding directed through the Department of Interior, then through the Pentagon's Office of Special Projects. While they have no direct affiliation with the intelligence agencies, they are often permitted to use their sources and whatever info they may have. As for the unit's hierarchy, it has always been lead by a Deputy Director and The Director with Team Leaders being third in line, even though they have no influence outside their own squads. One notable thing; the Director's identity is always kept secret. Each appointed director has to take the mantle of "Six" upon their promotion. "Six" represents the sixth member in all of the active squads, hence why there are always only five operatives per team on the ground. Directors can serve a term of twelve years, granted as long as their reign is clean and free of controversies.

RAINBOW's operatives are handpicked by the Deputy Director himself. At first, they were only picked from units within the grasp of NATO. Their influence expanded across practically all nations on the world, with the exclusion of a select few. Even though a handful of the candidates have already completed the training for their respective units (some may even be seasoned vets), they still have to go through Rainbow's own training course, rumored to be twice as excruciating.

RAINBOW's primary installment is Fort St. Anne military base located in Vancouver, Canada, while they are granted permission to perform training drills across different territories. The operative's uniforms consist of standard RAINBOW opsuits, with a couple of minor individual changes. For insertions, RAINBOW Team uses a variety of vehicles, ranging from Cyclone APCs to V-22 Ospreys.

While the unit doesn't work too hard to cloak their namesake, there still remain only a select few who know about it's existence. Their operations, in the meanwhile, are kept tightly under wraps.

Setting/OOC Information

Hello, and welcome to my RP.

If you thought this sounded familiar, that's because it is. Uncharacteristically of myself, I've decided to give fandoms a shot, although I'm not gonna play it straight. The concept is heavily based on Rainbow 6: Patriots, an installment in the long running Rainbow series that was scrapped in favor of Rainbow Six: Siege. As someone who fell in love with the idea of an OWS-inspired terrorist group and a special forces unit who uses brute force to counter them, I was disappointed when I heard the news. So, if I couldn't play the game, I thought I could convert it into a textual format. Because there are different reiterations of Rainbow Six throughout the years, I've come up with new additions of my own aside from mix and matching some of the canon elements. You don't need to have played any of the games to understand what's going on.

The RP will begin in medias res, with Echo Team en route to stop an ongoing terrorist attack in an American city. The mission will be a game changer for RAINBOW. The structure of the RP works similar to a videogame; team embarks on a mission, once mission's over you'll get what I like to call a "breather", an in-between story mini-arc in which you'll get the chance to further flesh out your character and interact with others. If there happens to be two teams, then the second team will either act as support for the first one, or they might be on a different mission in a different part of the world altogether. Rarely, it might happen so that one team gets a breather, while the other goes on a mission. My character will be team leader for Echo, where as one of you can apply for leadership in the other team. There's a catch though; to be team leader, you must also be co-GM. Different plot points shall be spoiled for you early on and you're gonna have to practically run this RP alongside me. Think about it. Teams can also exchange members with one another, granted as long as the participants agree to the exchange.

Regarding the tone of the RP, I'm gonna show you an example of a gameplay prototype launched five years ago. I urge you to watch it. It might feel weird using a visual presentation to describe the RP's tone, but I really can't put it in words. I will try to capture the paranoia and grit of post-9/11 USA. I also don't want you to misinterpret my words; I know I said the operatives will use extreme force no matter the cost, however I don't want you to go out completely disregarding civilian life. Aside from the team dynamic, I also want to see how your characters react when given orders that clash with ethics.

At the start of each mission, I'm gonna throw in a note which sums up the nature of the op and the preferred loadout. You have the option to choose from every weapon in existence thus far, however if the mission's stealth, then you can't bring a grenade launcher with you. I also am not gonna allow you to carry weapons that are outdated, as it wouldn't make any sense.

Now that we got that out of the way, I'd like to address the "rules". And I'm really not gonna take my time in explaining those with another paragraph. Just don't do anything that clashes with Guild etiquette, be respectful to me and other participants; any complaints you have, direct them to me and I'll resolve them. Feedback is appreciated. If you have any questions, shoot away. I'll be glad to answer them to you.

That's about it, really.

Equipment

RAINBOW operatives are encouraged to customize and experiment with their own gear. But, there are several devices that must remain a permanent part of a RAINBOW operative.

-RETRA - Shortened from Real-time Transmitter, RETRA is a small, portable wrist device used by RAINBOW during their field ops. It enables operatives to receive and transmit data from and to the HQ. Not only that; RETRA also allows for squad leaders to share crucial intel with their own squad AND makes it possible for them to hack into enemy comms, though sometimes penetrating through a foreign communication system might take the mind of a tech wiz so it's not something every operative can do. More often than not, the device also plays the role of a GPS.

- Trackers - It's self-explanatory. Disguised as dark orange lights embedded on an operative's shoulders and (optionally) helmet, these trackers work in tandem with RETRA. They can provide operatives with the exact location of another RAINBOW operative, if they are still in posession of their shoulder pads, granted. This is especially priceless to squad leaders, as it eases their responsibility and gives them more control over their respective teams.
