The silence in the room was palpable, as if the very air inside the room had been coated with it. Only the ocassional clatter of a cup being set back onto the table, or the warm tone of chopsticks against porcelain managed to break through. The busyness with which the collected clanspeople consumed their breakfast suggested a soon-to-approach famine, each motion devoid of comfort or enjoyment. Yachiyo grinded her teeth for a moment before she lead her utensils towards her mouth one last time, hastily swallowing. Little bits of rice were glued to her cheek, earning her a stern gaze from her father, sitting to her left. Quickly wiping it away, Yachiyo cast her eyes downwards, keeping them fixed upon her knees. She barely breathed, the faint noises of chewing and drinking building up into an odd, almost manic cacophony, mixing with the coursing of her blood just behind her ears. She swallowed, fingers curling, hand slowly balling into fists, tight enough to turn her knuckles white.

"May I please leave early to prepare?"

As if in a vacuum, it felt like even the sparse noise was sucked away, replaced by eyes burning away at the girl's face. She didn't dare to look at anyone, her bottom lip disappearing as her teeth ground into it, nervously gnashing away at the soft skin. An approving grunt sounded from her father, beckoning the rest of her siblings and her mother to return to their meal, as Yachiyo rolled onto her bare soles, and strode out of the room as fast as she physically could, each step swallowed by the ground.

Ascending the stares, Yachiyo came to a halt when she passed one of the estate's rounded windows facing the gardens, her eyes narrowing, scanning for a certain someone. A few seconds passed, and the girl's shoulder slumped, before she returned to her upwards sprint, finally reaching her room. As she slid the doors closed, she allowed her back to press into the wall, sliding down until she sat, with bent knees, on the floor. Her lungs dared to deflate, muscles relaxing in an instant. The quiet up here was different; empty rather than dense. Her shelf, littered with scrolls and textbooks, loomed above her, the love novels hidden behind the facade of studious lecture luring out a smile. She beckoned a little figurine, a crow made of glass, until the artwork came to live, flapped its wing, and circled the sils for a moment; then, Yachiyo snapped into haste again, a look towards the clock urging her onwards. Without pause, the kunoichi grabbed the jacket from her chair, and flung it onto her bed, as she slipped on the cropped top with the mask. As she slid her arms into her jacket, Yachiyo approached the window sill once more, grasping the little figurine of Bijou her grandmother had made for her, her fingers closing around it.

Today was the day.

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

The blabbering of the assembled genin was a welcome distraction for Yachiyo. She sat alone, legs spread wide to guard her territory from strangers seeking a space, her elbows proped up on her thighs. Her mind raced, quieting down only when she craned her neck upwards to search for her teammembers, for Kurimi, for Suzuhime, for Karu... anyone she knew. She let her eyes wander, spying a troop of genins whose village she couldn't tell due to their posture, but who all had symbols littered across their skin; the sight made Yachiyo wrap her fingers around her forearm, reaffirming her scrolls presence. She had felt warm all day, the dry, heated air in the room not helping.

Transfixed onto the foreign teams, Yachiyo's attention was demanded as her baggy jacket began to ruffle, and a pathetic mewl sounded from within her breast pocket. Eventually, a fuzzy little head poked out of her half-opened zipper, Bijou squealing for his friend's affection. Her lips curled upwards behind the mask, and her eyes softened, as slender digits combed along the little bear's fur, flattening the ruffled tail, which elicited an excited little squeak from Bijou.

"Excited?" she asked, pulling the creature fully from its hideout inside her jacket, and planted it into her lap, her heels tapping rhythmically, gently rocking it up and down. The soft texture of its fur between her fingers calmed the kunoichi. "Me too..." Yachiyo pulled her eyes away from her little friend, and scoured the rest of the assembled shinobi with steely eyes. They were all rivals, even her friends. At least she could rely on Yo and Hirameki... If only she could find them within the mess of people.

Yachiyo struggles to balance her personal ethics with the behavior and ability that is not just exhibited by her fellow clanspeople, but expected from her, often fighting to meet expectations without betraying her own core values. Her quirks - such as her artstic streak or her superstitious nature - are often supressed in front of others, and easily dismissed as immature by her family. Yachiyo is considered to be quite candid though rarely mean, and never crass, which is usually excused as a result of her exact and ambitious nature. Her behavior sways depending on the environment, shriveling into a quieter, more reserved version when confronted with adults and her family.

She is deeply conflicted about her own upbringing; though she is aware of many of the fortunate privileges she received, she often struggles to fulfill her role within the clan without developing a strong sense of immorality. Furthermore, she's somewhat bitter about the rigorous and harsh nature of her upbringing. This permanent conflict is a source of great stress for Yachiyo, which manifests in a weary and sometimes even confrontational disposition. In spite of her sensitivities, she is quick to judge others when they act in ways she deems unacceptable.

Yachiyo possesses immense empathy and a strong sense of justice, which fuel her confliction about tradition and public image, the dynamic between noble and prestigious clans and those of lower status, and shinobi society at large, though most of her musings are childishly idealistic and one-track-minded.

_{P E R S O N A L H I S T O R Y}

Yachiyo was born the youngest grandchild of the Ōkashi patriarch, with high hopes that finally a child of an eighth generation would manifest the Mōragan; when the infant proved to indeed carry the rare dōjutsu, her parents and grandfather were delighted, but her siblings instead felt envy. Instead of playtime and friendship, Yachiyo was meticulously groomed to be her best possible self. Her father in particular began to shift the expectations he had placed in his oldest son, adding them to the already unrealistic standard he held Yachiyo to, who felt suffocated by the myriad of training excercises and the sense of duty she had to shoulder. Difficult techniques, such as the family's customary fūinjutsu, and terrible combat practice, quickly forced Yachiyo to develop exceptional skills for a child her age, lest she break to the relentless teaching. Only her grandmother treated her like the child she was, teaching her the art of glassworking, an artisan endeavor her mother's family had bestowed upon each child. Incidentally, the recreational activity helped Yachiyo to hone her Katon.

While she showed herself to be an exceptional novice kunoichi in most every depertment, so much so that by the time she enrolled in the academy, she remained ahead of her peers effortlessly, Yachiyo drifted more and more towards the whimsical traditions of her family; tending to the clan's gardens, and her grandmother's unique glass artistry. Momentarily free from the pressure of her grandfather's training, Yachiyo proved equally prodigious in her recreational pursuits, devoting more and more time to them, much to her family's distate. Often hiding away from her demanding, almost abusive grandfather, chiding parents, and competitive siblings, she instead slept in the gardens or snuck away to further hone her skill with glass. Continuing her education, the head-start Yachiyo held over her competition melted. In fact, Yachiyo even struggled with some of the basic techniques her peers had mastered easily, narrow-mindedly obsessing over her own pursuits. However, while her fundamentals were awful, she showcased exceptional skill when she developed a crude form of her own ninjutsu, applying her unmatched technical skill to the glass figurines she loved so dearly.

When graduation time came around, Yachiyo had become alienated, sometimes mocked for her lack of mastery of basic skills despite being a prodigious kunoichi from a prestigious clan; her fall from grace was a welcome retribution for those who perceived her as nothing but a privileged and aloof brat. Her lack of academic success had earned her severe scoldings and punishments at home, ultimately resulting in a depressed disposition. At this time of great tension, Yachiyo inadvertently incited an alteration with Mochi Kurimi at the Academy. The incident was cut short, as an emotionally unstable Yachiyo broke down crying, betraying her stoic image and stunning Kurimi. After teachers interfered, the two girls made up and bonded over their shared domestic troubles, inciting a quiet but strong friendship. Shortly after, Yachiyo met Bijou in her family's gardens. A particularly small lesser panda, who seemed to instinctively take a liking to the girl, whom experienced a similar kinship. Her fondness and bond with the creature and newfound friendships served as an invigorating experience, allowing Yachiyo to scoot by. Though her fundamentals were still greatly lacking, and she was often chided or deemed hopeless by her instructors at the academy, her fūinjutsu, the preternatural potential she had showcased with her unique jutsu, and some choice words from the Ōkashi patriarch, Yachiyo ended up graduating after all.

Meeting her sensei improved Yachiyo's work ethic considerably, as he was kind and encouraging in spite of his pedigree - a concept Yachiyo thought utterly alien. Due to his tutelage, and the necessity of working with her squad members, Yachiyo has improved both her headspace as well as technique.

- So, first and foremost, I kinda would like to have a pretty distinct character development from being sort of difficult and an individualist but kind-hearted, to a more playful attitude but with her actual disposition becoming hardened, maybe even slipping towards the antagonistic side. I really enjoy these sort of contrasting personalities, and I think this development specifically is fun. However, I don't really like being the bad one, so ideally this would circle back a bit AGAIN, to a better adjusted, redeemed character with some edges and issues, but a generally "good" disposition.
-A big aspect of her character, as I envisioned it, would be her desire to establish a genuinely fair ninja society, or at least kickstart a change in how people view perceived prestige, lesser ninjas, other villages, low-ranking clans and such. Basically, focus on class-divide and volatile norms. Obviously this is a really grandios ideal, and I imagine this being a very childish and dumb dream at first, then shifting towards an almost fanatic goal of hers. She'd go about it the wrong way for a long time. I think it'd be nice if she could find a way to achieve that goal to a smaller, realistic extent, but without, you know, the usual genocidal shit anime characters with these desires pull.
- Power-wise I would like her to develop the glass jutsu to a really high level, which would make her pretty powerful but also a unique character. I think it'd be super funny if she ends up this novelty genius who perfects a jutsu nobody else uses (like Konan, who was a pretty big influence. Also continue to develop fuinjutsus and maybe a proper animal summon. I really like scroll stuff in general, and I made her clan specialize in summons and fuinjutsus but since I gave her a dojutsu (albeit a somewhat weak one, compared to others) and a cool technique, I'm not too fussed if it doesn't happen. After all, she is meant to reject many of her clans customs so it wouldn't be too out of the way to not do it. :)

• Unnamed Glass Jutsu - Using her prodigious technical ability, Yachiyo has developed a unique albeit amateurish jutsu due to her obsessive interest in glassart. With it, she can create and shape small structures, animate them to a limited degree, and fire shards in a fashion similar to kunai or shuriken. (To be named and developed over the roleplay)
• Fūinjutsu Expertise - The sole Chakra-heavy traditional ninja art Yachiyo possesses advanced competence with, fūinjutsu are a staple of the Ōkashi skill-set, and as such, she has been trained intensively in their use.
• Taijutsu - Yachiyo is proficient in hand-to-hand combat, having received basic combat training and excercises to steel her body since her early childhood. It is by far her most developed of the three basic jutsu-distinctions, and Yachiyo is a lithe, flexible, durable, and speedy combatant, though she does not possess the raw brute strength to power her way through everything.
• Mōragan - Though her abilities are limited, Yachiyo can utilize the external view to a limited degree, giving her a useful tool for espionage and stealth missions. She unconsciously has neglected and even shut herself off to further developing the dōjutsu, as she blames her inherited gift for her strict childhood and at times even views it as a regrettable curse. Nevertheless, it is a handy and unique tool.
• Dexterity - Yachiyo is quite precise and yields steady hands, having worked with delicate figurines and decorations since her childhood. Additionally, she possesses a well-developed eyes for aesthetics.

• Unnamed Glass Jutsu Utilizing her conjured glass, Yachiyo can animate small figurines and structures. The technique is plain, but requires delicate handling and knowledge of the material. This jutsu was originally mostly being played around with, but can also be used for espionage utility.
• Become One: Kyōsei A fūinjutsu used extensively by Ōkashi. By distributing a variety of seals across the terrain, the user can seal and unseal themselves for advantagious travel across the manipulated perimeter.

_{D R A N K}

• All Is One: A fūinjutsu taught to all Ōkashi as part of their training. This seal draws miniscule amounts of chakra from the environment for as long as it is active, so as to be built and used over time. Yachiyo carries a small scroll inscribed with the corresponding seal around her arm. There are variations to this technique, including a much more severe absorbation rate as well as a reversed version, though they are generally taught only to adults due to their risks when used irresponsibly.
• Fire Release: Fire Dragon Bullet: A basic Fire Release technique, where the user exhales a flame breath from their mouth.
• Unnamed Glass Jutsu: Yachiyo summons a barrage of glass shards to pelt the enemy with, inflicting injury.

• Mōragan (網羅眼, Literally meaning: All-Encompassing Eye)

_{A B I L I T I E S}

• Users of the Mōragan are capable of tethering themselves to other beings or objects, to the extent that it is possible to fully perceive what the user's targets are seeing (or would see) themselves.

The ability to track multiple targets at once requires mastery of the dōjutsu. Though few of the already sparse number of contemporary Ōkashi that wielded the Mōragan have achieved such mastery, a revered Ōkashi patriarch has been said to be able to perceive "everything that could be seen, and could've been seen".

Due to the tethering nature, it is also possible to override a target's vision, forcing one's own into the target's, effectively blinding them to their actual surroundings, but also supplying them with imagery of the wielder's choice.

_{A P P E A R A N C E}

• It is characterized by a black sclera with subtle swirls within the area, a bright white iris, and three pitch black pupils that are evenly spaced out across the width of the iris, with the center one being slightly larger than the other two. When the Mōragan is active, the outter pupils begin to circle around the center one.

Rea & Giles

Rea King

Name
Rea King

Nickname/Alias
-

Age
16

Gender
Female ♀

Race
Human

Appearance
Rea is a rather slim girl of average height, standing at 5'5". Despite her thin stature, her midsection and arms show some light definition due to her lean physique. She possesses a tan complexion, lavender eyes, and a rebellious blonde mane, which she has given up trying to maintain beyond basic parting.

Generally considered attractive by the boys in her grade, Rea has a reputation for being unapprochable due to her perpetually tired and lightly-annoyed resting expression, which clash with her otherwise dainty features. There is a small bar code tattoo underneath her right eye, alongside her cheekbones, which she has received at an early point in her life, which she is highly self-conscious about.

Rea prefers casual chique and comfortable clothes, often sporting sweaters, and long skirts, though she has a habit of lounging about in her sleep wear all day when left to her devices.

Personality
Rea is generally a fairly level-headed and mature young woman. However, she has a notorious issue with indulging her laziness, often oversleeping, putting off work until the last possible moment, and sometimes missing deadlines or dates entirely. Rea is almost cripplingly-dependent on caffeine to get into the swing of things, and becomes increasingly cranky if she is deprived of it for extended periods of time.

Perhaps fueled by her lingering lethargy, Rea is unwaveringly prone to get unreasonably comfortable in places she probably shouldn't be. She is a drag to get out of bed, will cling to any bed or couch she can find, and tends to lower her guard or even nap off wherever there is a soft seat to be found. She is also quite the homemaker, in a sense, as she loves to tidy up places and make them particularly cozy and lovely. Dragging Rea away from a carefully-prepared hot cup and a good book is like playing with fire, as she will explode into a comical hissyfit when kept from enjoying her downtime.

Though Rea has a reputation among her peers for being confrontational and loudmouthed, self-restraint is prominently on her mind, as she is afraid of strengthening negative prejuidice she may evoke due to her background and abilities. Though she is, in fact, no pushover, Rea has a tendency to become quiet and sometimes even bashful when she is infatuated on someone - because this behavior is quite easy to pick out, it is a great source of embarrassment for Rea.

Likes

● Sarcasm
● Boldness

Dislikes

● Large crowds
● Excessive loudness

Fears
Never overcoming judgement, loneliness

Backstory
Rea was abducted as one of many children in a crime spree that swept across England 16 years ago. Though the identity behind the perpetrator remains a mystery to this very day, exhaustive investigations have concluded that at least one Witch was involved, though it is believed that the incidents were not related to any one entity within the Witch society, such as the Order. Though Rea's memories are flakey, she has recollected vivid memories of other children, all seemingly of prepubescent age. Another detail that has burned itself into her mind was the fact that in spite of their young age, every child present exhibited unusually developed demon weapon transformations. Few of the missing children have been found within the abandoned facility, with Rea being one of just seven.

Numerous examinations conducted after Rea's rescue indicated that her bloodstream had clearly been altered, showing heavy traces of the nefarious Black Blood. Furthermore, it was concluded that Rea, much like the other abducted children, had been originally born a Demon Weapon. Initially chalking the other voice up to psychological damage, Rea had become host to a second entity, called Giles, whom she had become a symbiotic Meister to. Because none of the exhibited behavior or shared information matched any of the known missing reports, it was concluded that Rea's Black Blood treatment had transformed select personality traits of herself and other victims, as well as her own Demon Weapon abilities, into a seperate entity's soul within her.

Returning to mundane society at the gentle age of 10, Rea was troubled fitting in with other kids her age. As such, she has learned from a young age on to be her own best friend, to make the best out of her time and situation, and how to deal with the unfairly heightened expectations of others. Though frightened by the second presence inside her body, Rea grew to co-exist with him, ultimately accepting Giles, who, to her surprise, held no grudge against her, and instead accepted his fate as her weapon. Originally adopting an impossibly-perfect demeanor, Rea grew to reject all of it, instead living at her own pace.

It wasn't until a renowned Meister agreed to foster her, that the idea of a future at the DWMA developed. Being afforded a normal life, free of judgement or prying, for the first time, Rea took well to his tutelage and ultimately began attending DWMA.

Partner Name
Giles Tabitha

Meister Abilities
Rea may conceal her own Wavelength with the help of Giles, who, at worst, distorts her own wavelength. Though neither of the two have a clue on how to capitalize of this, their teacher admonished them to never forget this ability, as it may one day be absolutely necessary to employ it.

Like all Meisters, Rea has a rudimentary Wavelength Control.

Miscellaneous Abilities/Skills
● In spite of her penchant for lazing around, Rea is physically fit.
● She blindly trusts her partner, allowing her to space out to an extent, if situations become too intense.
● An underdeveloped form of blood hardening, enabled by the Black Blood.

Soul Resonance
An engineered Bond, Rea's and Giles' Soul Resonance consists of Rea briefly relenting a large degree of control, equalizing the pair's input on the technique. In this state, the exchange of power between the pair enables the Ringblade to spin incredibly fast, which does not only increase the weapon's cutting power, but even enables primitive mobility.

Extra
...

Partner Name
Rea King

Weapon Form
Ringblade

Weapon Form Description
A large, hollowed sawblade The teeth of the blade are coarser than most others. It is also quite sleek, visually, possessing dangerously sharp blades on either side of the circle. If it weren't for the Black Blood, this Demon Weapon would likely inflict injury upon its wielder.

Miscellaneous Abilities/Skills
Giles is, to an extent, Rea's courage personified. As such, he tends to motivate or push her onwards, and is of great emotional importance to Rea. He's excellent at pep talks.

Extra
The name Giles Tabitha references Giles Corey, a victim of the Salem witch trials, and Tabitha Babbitt, who is credited with inventing the circular saw used in mills.

• Taijutsu - Yachiyo is proficient in hand-to-hand combat, having received basic combat training and excercises to steel her body since her early childhood. It is by far her most developed of the three basic jutsu-distinctions, and Yachiyo is a lithe, flexible, durable, and speedy combatant, though she does not possess the raw brute strength to power her way through everything.
• Mōragan - Though her abilities are limited, Yachiyo can utilize the external view to a limited degree, giving her a useful tool for espionage and stealth missions. She unconsciously has neglected and even shut herself off to further developing the dōjutsu, as she blames her inherited gift for her strict childhood and at times even views it as a regrettable curse. Nevertheless, it is a handy and unique tool.
• Dexterity - Yachiyo is quite precise and yields steady hands, having worked with delicate figurines and decorations since her childhood. Additionally, she possesses a well-developed eyes for aesthetics.

The ability to track multiple targets at once requires mastery of the dōjutsu. Though few of the already sparse number of contemporary Ōkashi that wielded the Mōragan have achieved such mastery, a revered Ōkashi patriarch has been said to be able to perceive "everything that could be seen, and could've been seen".

Due to the tethering nature, it is also possible to override a target's vision, forcing one's own into the target's, effectively blinding them to their actual surroundings, but also supplying them with imagery of the wielder's choice.

Yachiyo is a lithe kunoichi, standing at a lanky 5'8", mirroring many of the women in her clan. She possesses a perpetually ashen complexion, which sometimes makes her appear sickly. Yachiyo's raven hair is is cut into chopped bangs at the side, and usually dolled into a spiky bun at the other, though she opts to style it more neatly when home. Yachiyo's ears are pierced with fairly large grey studs with a tiny ruby. Her golden eyes are usually framed by thick eyeliner, which trails off into a rebellious streak of smudged black down her cheeks. Generally, Yachiyo differs from the usually neat appearance the Ōkashi clan presents itselfs with, balancing the freedom given to a "prodigy" with the strict supervision of demanding parents.

Anxious • Moody • Emphatic

She is deeply conflicted about her own fortunate status and the way of life in the lower castes of the city, often struggling to fulfill her role within the clan without a sense of immorality. This permanent conflict is a source of great stress for Yachiyo, which manifests in a weary, withdrawn, and sometimes even confrontational disposition. In spite of her sensitivities, she is quick to judge others, not shying away from making her opinion of others known - positive or otherwise. Among her peers, she is known to be blunt, sometimes to the point of rudeness, though it is rare for her to act with the intent of arbitrary animosity. Her disposition is highly dependent on her general state of mind as well as who she deals with, though she has learned to uphold a steely exterior in front of others when needed - such as around Fuhyō - so as to not besmirch her clan or invite hostility from the discarded masses. The sole recipient of Yachiyo's genuine, affectionate side is Yata.

⌈NINDŌ⌋

Benevolence and righteousness

An old idiom that has served as the Ōkashi clan motto for longer than most remember, Yachiyo has eagerly taken it as her personal motto, and views it as a defining quality required from not just good ninjas, but good people. She has modified it in her own way, often doubting her family's sincerity in believing in the phrase, and often contemplates how she can live and lead by example. Her silent defiance of truly accepting the unequal state of her village is deeply connected to her utmost belief in the phrase.

⌈MOTIVATIONS⌋

Unity

Above all else, Yachiyo yearns for harmony. In spite of her inner beliefs, she dearly loves and respects her family, and knows very well that a betrayal of established values would uproot their position within the village. As such, she wishes to find a way to appease the powers that are without relenting to their mistreatment of their own. Her dreams of rebellion and peace are juvenile, characterized by her own lack of experience, but her strive for power is fueled by the desire to achieve them nonetheless.

⌈NARRATIVE⌋

Yachiyo was born the youngest grandchild of the Ōkashi patriarch, without much in the way of anticipation for her future. What should've been a normal childhood was quickly recalibrated when Yachiyo - a mere seven months old - showed herself to possess the Mōragan. The rare trait upset the internal structure, with delighted parents, a calmed patriarch, and jealous siblings. Instead of playtime and friendship, Yachiyo was meticulously groomed to be her best possible self - and more. Her father in particular began to shift the expectations he had placed in his oldest son, adding them to the already unrealistic standard he held Yachiyo to, who felt suffocated by the myriad of training excercises and the sense of duty she had to take on.

When Yachiyo began her academy training, her abilities were more developed than most due to the diligent training she had received, much to the approval of her instructors. Her initially almost-prodigious status reinforced the perception of the Ōkashi's value to village, and alienated Yachiyo from her peers, which, in combination with the hostility between the castes, spelled a life of isolation for the young kunoichi.

Her clan, however, was pleased. Yachiyo was presentable and valuable. A gifted youngling, blessed with power, relentlessly perfected by a strict routine.

Continuing her education, the divide between Yachiyo and her competition melted. While she showed herself to be a competent student in most every depertment, the lead seemed to shrink. As more and more skills and techniques became requirements, Yachiyo found herself struggling with some of them, much to the delight of her peers and the distate of her family. In particular, her unrefined usage of the Invisible World techniques became a great source of distress, as it was paramount for utilizing the Mōragan fully. Her lone tutor, her grandfather, was a particularly strict and harsh man, who held none of the resentment he held for her back. These rigorous lessons planted guilt and despair in Yachiyo's heart over the fact that she was the first to inherit the dōjutsu, rather than her parents or siblings.

Unable to turn to anyone for anything - be it her drowning in work and expectation, the competition between her and her classmates, or her emotional state - Yachiyo was close to hitting rock bottom, when she met Yata. A crow with tiny wings - an outlier among the avians her family maintained such a close relationship with - seemed to instinctively take a liking to the girl, whom experienced a similar kinship. Though the summoning techniques which her family was famous for was a far-cry from realistic for the inexperienced kunoichi, her parents consented to the companionship, noting the energy it seemed to replenish for Yachiyo. The two became inseperable, which anchored Yachiyo and reestablished her as a gifted student.

Improving her general abilities continously with intense training, Yachiyo has matured, and perhaps hardened, but reaffirmed herself in the face of the daunting graduation.

⌈STRONG SUIT⌋

Ninjutsu • Dōjutsu Kekkei Genkai

⌈KEKKEI GENKAI⌋

Mōragan (網羅眼, Literally meaning: All-Encompassing Eye)

The Mōragan is an infrequently occuring dōjutsu unique to the Ōkashi clan. It is characterized by a black sclera with subtle swirls within the area, a bright white iris, and three pitch black pupils that are evenly spaced out across the width of the iris, with the center one being slightly larger than the other two. The Mōragan alters its wielders' perception so as to become aware of even minor chakra traces on an instinctual level, as well as register the absence of it more strongly.

Users of the Mōragan are capable of tracking individual sources of chakra with ease, to the extent that it is possible to perceive what the user's targets are seeing themselves. This is achieved by the Mōragan's unique tethering, in which the user frequently receives and reciprocates small amounts of chakra, creating a continuous link of energy exchange with their target. It is also possible to implant some of one's own chakra into a targets without any (such as inanimate objects) and track them through it. The ability to track multiple targets at once requires mastery of the dōjutsu. Though none of the few Ōkashi that wielded the Mōragan has achieved such mastery since, a revered Ōkashi patriarch has been said to be able to perceive "everything his prey had seen, and could've seen". Because it is so potent in recognizing even miniscule amounts of chakra and, thus, differentiating between that which hosts chakra and that which does not, it is also able to recognize otherwise microscopic objects that the normal human eye could not.

Furthermore, the precise control over the chakra exchange is involved in a variety of so called Invisible World (不可視世界) techniques that revolve around it. Not only are there applications with the planting of chakra, it is also possible to siphon it.

⌈PRIMARY⌋

Kekkei Genkai

Having had the dōjutsu since birth, Yachiyo is highly competent with the basic perceptive abilities of her Kekkei Genkai. This manifests particularly when used in conjunction with her weaponry or Yata, as it is very beneficial in highlighting the parasol's strengths as well as in improving coordination and deepening the bond with her animal companion. However, she struggles with many of the techniques of the Kekkei Genkai, and as such is far from mastering it.

⌈SECONDARY⌋

Fūton

With an affinity for the Wind nature, Yachiyo is particularly comfortable with fūton jutsu. Aside from utitlizing common jutsus with great proficiency, Yachiyo also further weaves her wagasa into her combat ability, and employs Wind techniques in conjunction with her parasol for increased mobility or even the spread of helpful conditions, such as dust or ash.

⌈TERTIARY⌋

Bukijutsu

Due to Yachiyo's is aptitude for Chakra Flow, which they are heavily aided (and sometimes substituted) by the Mōragan's innate chakra exchange ability, she has a natural edge on most shinobis and kunoichis of her age in the way of bukijutsu, being able to turn even her wagasa into a multi-faceted, deadly weapon. She is resourceful, and can turn most mundane objects into tools of combat, if needed.

Yachiyo's wagasa - - - - - - - - Yata - - - - - Pouch ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

A traditional oil-paper umbrella that was given to Yachiyo by her mother. The wagasa is a common weapon amongst the women of the Ōkashi clan, who integrate summoning scrolls into the material. Yachiyo's wagasa is made out of a contract that she is not able to use yet, and contains the kanji and decoratative designs of the red scroll. Yachiyo utilizes the wagasa in conjunction with Fūton techniques and Chakra Flow to enhance her mobility or control the battefield, or turn it into a makeshift weapon, if needed. Without the addition of Chakra Flow, the item is brittle, and prone to being burned, soaked, or slashed. Its ergonomics can also be a hindrance. - Yata is a small raven, and part of the murder the Ōkashi summon in battle. Somewhat of a pariah from its family due to its wingspan, Yata is an important aid to Yachiyo, able to serve as a distraction, informant, and aid in techniques. However, it is primarily a pet, rather than an integral part of Yachiyo's combat, and is easily frightened by "scary" things, making him an unreliable addition to Yachiyo's fighting capabilities. - A small pouch filled with ash that Yachiyo can use to litter the environment with easily-manipulated targets.

Body Flicker Technique - -- - - - Hiding in Mist Technique - - - - Mist Servant Technique ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

By using the Body Flicker Technique, a ninja can move short to long distances at an almost untraceable speed. To an observer, it appears as if the user has teleported. It is accomplished by using chakra to temporarily vitalise the body and move at extreme speeds. The amount of chakra required depends on the overall distance and elevation between the user and the intended destination. - This technique is a specialty of Kirigakure ninja. Users fill the air with mist and control its thickness with their chakra.Once the mists are thick enough that opponents cannot see, that in turn means they cannot manage much defence against the user. Because Yachiyo can easily track opponents, this often basic technique is quite efficient. - This technique creates several ghost-like figures clad in black that emerge from the surrounding environment. Yachiyo employs this jutsu with Yata's help more often than not.

Yachiyo perceives Yata's vision, giving her a unique view on her surroundings. - - A Mōragan dōjutsu in which the user disrupts the target's chakra flow with a volatile burst of their own. While potent, the technique removes the Mōragan's tether. Yachiyo's master of this technique is limited, and the bursts are fairly weak. - The user produces a powerful stream of wind from their mouth. - The user swings their weapon and a gust of wind is released in the arc that it was swung in.

⌈B-RANK⌋

Wind Release: Vacuum Blade - - - Suikomu (吸い込む) - - - - Wind Release: Wind Cutter Technique ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

The user exhales wind-infused chakra onto a weapon in order to increase its sharpness, range and lethality. For example, the user can infuse a kunai to resemble a makeshift scimitar or infuse shuriken to increase their range and cutting power. Yachiyo can apply this technique to her wagasa in order to turn the umbrella itself into a sawblade-like weapon. - A Mōragan dōjutsu with which the user siphons chakra from a tethered source. The Ōkashi are famed for this technique, as it synergizes well with their noticable chakra reserves. However, Yachiyo is unable to utilize this technique fully, due to her comparatively small chakra reserves as well as her not having mastered the technique in general. - Using their chakra or a ninja tool such as a war fan to manipulate or create an external source of wind, the user can create one to several blades of wind, which are capable of slicing through their target with ease.

⌈A-RANK⌋

Invisible World: Anchored In Emptiness - - - Invisible World: Unseen Fusillade - ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

A Mōragan dōjutsu. By planting chakra in particles in the air, the user can continuously flow their chakra back and forth, enabling their physical interaction. This serves as a means to hold onto or even walk atop, for example, specks of dust floating through the air. This technique requires little chakra, but excessive finesse and mastery. - A Mōragan dōjutsu. By manipulating the chakra exchange between user and target, the user can release chakra that they have sent from the target, allowing a wide-spread hail of shots to emerge from the environment. Though Yachiyo has trained to master this jutsu, she cannot yet use it. -

Bukijutsu

Due to Yachiyo's is aptitude for Chakra Flow, which they are heavily aided (and sometimes substituted) by the Mōragan's innate chakra exchange ability, she has a natural edge on most shinobis and kunoichis of her age in the way of bukijutsu, being able to turn even her wagasa into a multi-faceted, deadly weapon. She is resourceful, and can turn most mundane objects into tools of combat, if needed.

Yachiyo's wagasa - - - - - - - Yata - - - - Pouch ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

A traditional oil-paper umbrella that was given to Yachiyo by her mother. The wagasa is a common weapon amongst the women of the Ōkashi clan, who integrate summoning scrolls into the material. Yachiyo's wagasa is made out of a contract that she is not able to use yet, and contains the kanji and decoratative designs of the red scroll. Yachiyo utilizes the wagasa in conjunction with Fūton techniques and Chakra Flow to enhance her mobility or control the battefield, or turn it into a makeshift weapon, if needed. Without the addition of Chakra Flow, the item is brittle, and prone to being burned, soaked, or slashed. Its ergonomics can also be a hindrance. - Yata is a small raven, and part of the murder the Ōkashi summon in battle. Somewhat of a pariah from its family due to its wingspan, Yata is an important aid to Yachiyo, able to serve as a distraction, informant, and aid in techniques. However, it is primarily a pet, rather than an integral part of Yachiyo's combat, and is easily frightened by "scary" things, making him an unreliable addition to Yachiyo's fighting capabilities. - A small pouch filled with ash that Yachiyo can use to litter the environment with easily-manipulated targets.

Body Flicker Technique - -- - - - Hiding in Mist Technique - - - - Mist Servant Technique ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

By using the Body Flicker Technique, a ninja can move short to long distances at an almost untraceable speed. To an observer, it appears as if the user has teleported. It is accomplished by using chakra to temporarily vitalise the body and move at extreme speeds. The amount of chakra required depends on the overall distance and elevation between the user and the intended destination. - This technique is a specialty of Kirigakure ninja. Users fill the air with mist and control its thickness with their chakra.Once the mists are thick enough that opponents cannot see, that in turn means they cannot manage much defence against the user. Because Yachiyo can easily track opponents, this often basic technique is quite efficient. - This technique creates several ghost-like figures clad in black that emerge from the surrounding environment. Yachiyo employs this jutsu with Yata's help more often than not.

Yachiyo perceives Yata's vision through their tether, giving her a unique view on her surroundings. - - A Mōragan dōjutsu in which the user disrupts the target's chakra flow with a volatile burst of their own. While potent, the technique removes the Mōragan's tether. Yachiyo's mastery of this technique is limited, making the bursts weaker than they ought to be. - The user produces a powerful stream of wind from their mouth. - The user swings their weapon and a gust of wind is released in the arc that it was swung in.

Wind Release: Vacuum Blade - - - Suikomu (吸い込む) - - - - Wind Release: Wind Cutter Technique ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

The user exhales wind-infused chakra onto a weapon in order to increase its sharpness, range and lethality. For example, the user can infuse a kunai to resemble a makeshift scimitar or infuse shuriken to increase their range and cutting power. Yachiyo can apply this technique to her wagasa in order to turn the umbrella itself into a sawblade-like weapon. - A Mōragan dōjutsu with which the user siphons chakra from a tethered source. The Ōkashi are famed for this technique, as it synergizes well with their noticable chakra reserves. However, Yachiyo is unable to utilize this technique fully, due to her comparatively small chakra reserves as well as her not having mastered the technique in general. - Using their chakra or a ninja tool such as a war fan to manipulate or create an external source of wind, the user can create one to several blades of wind, which are capable of slicing through their target with ease.

A Mōragan dōjutsu. By planting chakra in particles in the air, the user can continuously flow their chakra back and forth, enabling their physical interaction. This serves as a means to hold onto or even walk atop, for example, specks of dust floating through the air. This technique requires little chakra, but excessive finesse and mastery. - A Mōragan dōjutsu. By manipulating the chakra exchange between user and target, the user can release chakra that they have sent from the target, allowing a wide-spread hail of shots to emerge from the environment.

It is characterized by a black sclera with subtle swirls within the area, a bright white iris, and three pitch black pupils that are evenly spaced out across the width of the iris, with the center one being slightly larger than the other two. The Mōragan alters its wielders' perception so as to become aware of even minor chakra traces on an instinctual level, as well as register the absence of it more strongly. Users of the Mōragan are capable of tracking individual sources of chakra with ease, to the extent that it is possible to perceive what the user's targets are seeing themselves. This is achieved by the Mōragan's unique tethering, in which the user frequently receives and reciprocates small amounts of chakra, creating a continuous link of energy exchange with their target. It is also possible to implant some of one's own chakra into a targets without any (such as inanimate objects) and track them through it. The ability to track multiple targets at once requires mastery of the dōjutsu. Though none of the few Ōkashi that wielded the Mōragan has achieved such mastery since, a revered Ōkashi patriarch has been said to be able to perceive "everything his prey had seen, and could've seen". Because it is so potent in recognizing even miniscule amounts of chakra and, thus, differentiating between that which hosts chakra and that which does not, it is also able to recognize otherwise microscopic objects that the normal human eye could not. Furthermore, the precise control over the chakra exchange is involved in a variety of so called Invisible World (不可視世界) techniques that revolve around it. Not only are there applications with the planting of chakra, it is also possible to siphon it. SPECIALITY Fūinjutsu, particularly Summoning Techniques LEGACY The Ōkashi are one of the few clans that has not been native to Kirigakure, that has been accepted into the Gyokushō caste. They are well respected and treasured by the nobility for their contribitions to the village, as their steadfast aid in the war, as well as their ability to track down threats such as missing-nin through the Mōragan, has been invaluable. As such, they are considered valuable allies and respected people. They tend to function as a voice of reason in the case of senseless violence, though they stray from opposing anyone truly important, knowing well of their fortunate treatment and the frail ego of humanity. VALUES The Ōkashi have been lead by patriarchs for the majority of their time, having somewhat conservative views on the differences between women and men, as the myths of Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu were an important aspect in the clan's creation. However, matriarchs have existed. Overall, the Ōkashi are a clan that is characterized by its respect for - more or less - everyone and everything. Their most distinctive quality is their utter devotion to nature and life itself. They are well-known for their tranquil gardens and the creatures they protect. The Ōkashi belief is that all is one, and one is all, and as such it is important to be as kind and graceful to one another as possible. Ōkashi clan leaders tend to be imposing, highly decorous people, who respect traditions and authority, and likewise demand respect for their own authority. TRADITIONS When an Ōkashi is at their wit's end, they are to capture a crow that does not belong to the clan without hurting it. They are then to take it to their home, and release it at sunrise. If the crow flies north, it means to leave the situation behind, and look past it. If it flies east, it means to endure and hold on, waiting for the intervention of life itself. If it flies south, one should respond with violence. If it flies west, the problem lies in one's family, and reconciliation is advised. Every Ōkashi receives a scroll prepared for them by their parents. A contract with the crows is made, for when the child is taught and able to utilize the Summoning Technique their clan is famous for. Boys receive their contract from their mother, while girls receive their contracts from their father. Ōkashi who are born with the Mōragan are always given names that contain either the kanjis 八 or 烏. This tradition is so deeply embedded in their history that children who manifest the dōjutsu after they are born, but before reaching adulthood, are renamed, and have their contract redone. Even the few adult members who manifested their eyes later have willingly adopted a new name. All Ōkashi are taught to use either a gunbai (for the boys) or a wagasa (for the girls, depending on their gender as a weapon. It is tradition for the child to be tutored by the corresponding parent; if a parent is unable to do so due to death or illness, a grandparent, parent, or sibling may be substituted. HEIRLOOMS Every child receives a gunbai or wagasa from their parents, that has been handcrafted by them, on the child's third birthday. Furthermore, it is custom to gift one's child a single feather of their crow. The Ōkashi estate houses many of the gunbai and wagasa of important Ōkashi, as well as a collection of each of their crows' feathers. ORGANIZATION The head of the clan is either a patriarch or matriarch, who is appointed by the previous clanleader and their advisors. The head of the clan must be agreed on by both the previous leader - who nominates them - and his or her three advisors. The three advisors consist of the youngest advisor of the previous head, as well as two of their own free choosing. The word of a clan head is untouchable, and the Ōkashi greatly respect their leader, as they believe that his or her authority unites them, and protects them, even if they may not personally agree with their decisions. As such, there is no questioning and little quarrel about an appointed head or advisor, as their election is the word of those who are entrusted with the clan. However, it is common for likely candidates to compete. How they handle such matter is a vital deciding factor in who the head chooses to succeed them. In the case of the clan head's death, their advisors autonomously choose a capable shinobi to lead the clan. FOUNDER 和勘使 烏一 Ōkashi Uichi​ ∘ 79 ∘ Sengoku Jidai » Recorded as a powerful and noble man, Uichi is a revered figure in Ōkashi history.« 八一朗 Yaichirou (younger son) ∘ 烏 Uhei (eldest son) 八七四 Hanayo ∘ 烏之介 Unosuke ∘ 望久太郎 Mokutarou (first eyeless) CURRENT CLAN HEAD 和勘使 烏己人 Ōkashi Umito​ ∘ 60∘ current age »Having headed the clan for over two decades, Umito is both feared and respected.« 歩留美 Arumi ∘ 朝信 Choushin​ 太治 Daiji​ ∘ さざみ Sazami CREATION Uichi Ōkashi was known as a powerful man, who was both respected as well as criticized for his relentless pursuit of strength. Even the Ōkashi of old days believed in the respect for life and nature, but then, it was thought that the might to shape life for oneself is the way to achieve true contentment and the only proper way to live life. A core belief of the clan was also that might was fated, and to not pursue it meant to reject one's role in life. His sons would adapt their father's views. INTEGRATION In one of the most well-known instances of the crow ritual, Unosuke Ōkashi, the head of the clan at the time, let free a crow he had caught, which promptly flew north. Inspired by the sight of the crows, contrasting against the rising sun, he decided to take his family and travel north himself, leaving the unheard-of in-fighting that had plagued the clan in recent years behind. With several of the allied Ōkashi branches following him, this journey lead the clan to Kirigakure shortly before the first Shinobi World War broke out. Upon arrival, the Ōkashi were met with distrust and animosity due to being foreigners with a Kekkei Genkai. Unwilling to cower, Unosuke and his clan readily aided the village in any efforts they would let them have, never complaining about the danger of assignments. Upon the peak of the Ōkashi's increase in reputation for their competency, Onosuke fell in combat, protecting his team. And though this, too, was viewed favorably, the clan was now in dire need of a successor. Hanayo, his only child and daughter, was appointed to lead the clan, as per Onosuke's dying wishes. Hanayo was an exceptionally intelligent and charismatic woman, able to balance the expectation placed in her as a woman, and her own ability, maneuvering smartly within Kirigakure's society. To further her family's place in the village, she joined the Oinin Butai, who made exceptional use of the Mōragan in tracking down missing-nin, and married a member of a distant Ōkashi branch, Umito, who also possessed the Mōragan, believing it to increase the chance of their children possessing the dōjutsu. Ultimately, Hanayo's smart strategies worked, and the Ōkashi enjoyed great respect within Kirigakure's upper echelon. PRESENTLY Years ago, Hanayo fell ill, deferring her duties to her husband instead, whose since lead the Ōkashi with great resolve, focusing on strengthening the family's ties with the Kage and the rest of the Gyokushō. Umito has sacrificed much of his life to establish his association with the noble families of Kirigakure, knowing well how to maintain his presence while offering his unquestionable aid. It is due to Umito's efforts that the clan to risen to become one of the most valued families of foreigners to live in Kirigakure. However, his personal sacrifice and strictness has lead to a harsher leadership, and tenser relations within the clan.

<Snipped quote by Sunbather>

Hi!

In response to the first question, the kekkei genkai mentioned in the OP are the ones that we the GMs are utilizing for our characters. While they're not necessarily forbidden, you'd have to speak with the individual if you wanted to use them! i.e., if you wanted your character to have Sharingan, you'd have to discuss with me, since that's the one that I picked. Having said that, for the most part we're pretty open and will likely be able to work something out!

The second question is: it's an AU in the sense that I've pretty much changed everything. The only thing I'm planning on maintaining from the original lore is the Sage of Six Paths(even then it's so ancient it doesn't matter). Everything from then on has been changed and tweaked. I don't really like using canon characters and stuff like that, so I'm mostly trying to avoid it. I'll have a timeline of recent history up to look at when I make the OOC proper.

Hope that answers your questions alright :)

@Hey Im Jordan

It definitely gave a great answer to my first question, which I didn't even fully expect to be answered hehe. So thank you! The second part I'm still a bit confused on. So, the whole Kaguya clan and Chakra Fruit stuff would still apply, but then they kinda fizzled away for an entire alternative history you made for the AU to work how you wanted? I don't expect any massive reveals ofc, just wondering if that's the basic jist of it. And if it is, are there any big events we should know about, culturally?

Another question that came to mind was: Custom jutsus/KG? Yay or nay?

Sorry for all the asking around. D:

Sentaku: A Naruto RP

Dormammu I've come to ba... ask questions.

So, my first question was something else but now I'm curious: When it says "claimed by GM" does that mean it's forbidden or is it gonna be used by GMs? Now that I typed out the question I feel like this question inevitably spoils but my curiosity is forbidding me from not asking anyways. ;c

But WAY more importantly: HOW exactly is this AU? I did read OP, of course, and my assumption is: Pre-Naruto-show lore remains but from there on it's our thing? 'cause even though I'm not an expert or anything on the show/manga, as far as I know the lore is pretty fundamentally tied to characters and certain events that kinda enable the whole world and mythos. So I just would like some clarification on that, if possible.

Pokemon Chrome: The International League

Gris

Gris' Battle Theme!

Name:
Gris

Age:
18

Gender:
Female ♀

Nationality:
Orre

Personality:
Never shying away from an argument, Gris can appear unmistakably confrontational. Confident in her own ability, she isn't one to mince words, and will more often than not cut in with a snide remark or witty rebuttal. She is confident and resourceful, considering all options but backing down, and possesses a strong sense of pride in what she does, her friends, and where she came from. On the rare ocassion that Gris is at a loss for words, she can become quite defensive and even bashful, blushing and stammering in almost child-like manner.

In spite of her bellicose disposition, Gris is neither cruel nor a loner. In fact, she's quite passionate, caring greatly about her allies, her friends and family, and will go to great lengths to protect and support those dear to her. Similarly, Gris possesses a strong analytical mind, and tends to prefer a strategic and thorough approach over brute strength - something that catches most people off-guard after their first interaction with the girl.

Excitable and energetic, Gris has a wide array of interest, constantly bouncing around from one topic of interest to the next one. Perhaps as a result of her life before becoming a proper trainer, or due to her lack of focus, Gris is a bit of a mess, often leaving her things all over the place, messing up her surroundings, or leaving a mess in any kitchen unfortunate enough to have her.

Biography:
Gris was born to a pair of Riders in The Under. Though she does not remember much of the earliest day of her childhood, she does remember that her parents failed to return to their home when she was just barely old enough to take care of herself, something kids in The Under learn quicker than most children. Alone and without many choices - something the residents of The Under were always accustomed to - Gris turned to search for scraps and loot around the area, ocassionally venturing even into Pyrite.

It was during these times that Gris met and befriended Gray, a particularly scrappy Poochyena, and Ella, a smart Sentret. The two small Pokemon had paired up together, tricking the shop owners and the outsiders that visited the colosseums in both Pyrite and The Under. Though the girl clashed with the two Pokemon at first, not wanting to give up her targeted loot, the three continued to run into one another. During one particularly heated dispute between the Pokemon and Gris, the commotion alerted the shopkeep, who alerted the the police. Fleeing immediately, the whacky trio ended up at the infamous Pyrite Lift at the same time, panting desperately. Though their encounter began with yet another growl from Gray, and a grimace from Gris, both the girl's and the puppy's stomach growled loud enough to induce an awkward silence. Grumpy but empathetic, Gris ultimately offered the two a small portion of her leftovers at home.

In the following months, the three became inseperable. Even their little heists improved. With Ella's Frisk serving to scout potential loot, Gris could easily sneak out with some fruit or bread while Gray howled for attention. It wasn't a great life, but the three had each other and made due. Ultimately, however, their scheme fell apart after The Under was shut down by the official. With no hideout to return to, Pyrite became increasingly aware of their shenanigans, leading to their eventual arrest.

When the trio was brought in to the Pyrite Police station, Gris asked the officers to excuse her Pokemon partners, which attracted the attention of a local researcher who had visited the station to retrieve some documements he had requested from the mayor. The love for Pokemon seemed just right to her goals. And so, the woman introduced herself as Izara. Wishing to bring some international glory to her homeregion, Izara tried her best to become a proper professor, though she was far from reaching her goal. Gris, confused, simply accepted any chance to get herself and her friends out of the mess she had been stuck in. With some sweettalk from Izara, the officers relented, letting Gris, Gray, and Ella leave with the locally renowned researched.

At first, none of the three rascals liked working for Izara, but over time, the research work and her companionship became dear to their hearts. After a year, Izara encouraged Gris to follow a path to become a proper trainer, deeming her intentions and heart just right for the profession. With the International League in Chromis on the horizon, it seemed a perfect opportunity. With an unusual amount of teary-eyed smiles and "I'll miss you"s, Gris, her Pokemon friends, and an egg she had received from Izara - who, in turn, had received it from a friend in Galar - left for Chromis.
