General Data

Name: Iouchiryo, Koutaku.
Nickname/Alias: Nisekuru.
Gender: Male.
Age: 18.
Age Appearance: 18
Sexuality: Heterosexual.

Village: Konohagakure.
Birthplace: Unknown Location.

Organization: N/A.

Rank: C.
Position: Chuunin.
Chakra Nature: Wind.

Additional Appearance Details: Koutaku stands at 5'9, with his build being one of lean muscle and dexterous hands. He's got his mother's eyes and his father's nose, but more important are the positions of his gear, with his pouches for kunai, shuriken, wire, smoke bombs and pellets being stored on a belt around his waist. His explosive tags, however, remain under the garment seen in his reference above, concealed. All of his tools may be summoned.

History: Like most children born into well off clans Iouchiryo, Koutaku did not have an easy childhood, as his life was filled with training more than games of hide and seek or tag. While there were lulls in his training with the clan, much of his time was consumed by his tutors, who taught him the principles of the clan, the philosophy of combat, the art of war, and the beginnings of various theories as he got older. Still, some of his earliest memories are of being with either his parents, extended family, or tutors being quizzed, tested, or taught mental tricks. For unlike many clans, the Iouchiryo sought first to harness the powers of the mind, making certain that the children of their clan—even if they did not become shinobi—would be formidable each in their own way.

Beyond these memories that are other things of note, such as the mysterious nature of the world outside the compound as unlike many of his classmates, Koutaku was neither born nor raised in Konohagakure. Instead, he was raised on the secret clan compound of the mysterious Iouchiryo, a clan whose name was known in darker circles. They were like the ANBU of the shinobi world, except they were often for hire, and they were proclaimed to be even better. When most heard the name 'Iouchiryo,' it would mean nothing, but when shinobi heard it...heads turned, guards were raised, and attention was paid.

It was with these strange and reclusive people he was raised, and while he was trained rigorously he was allowed to play with those of his age, and so his childhood was not terrible. Unlike many children, he came to enjoy the training as it was often made fun, engaging, or at least challenging if nothing else. As he grew older competition for attention became fierce as those who had been his friends vied for the best teachers.

Koutaku however, was given—at the age of eight—a task, and that task was to move with his parents to take up residence in Konohagakure for reconnaissance and to aid in the effort to establish better relationships with the various governments of the villages allowing for better business in the future. Him and his parents accepted this mission and, disguised—thoroughly—as civilians, they made a home in the city, enrolling their supposedly eagerson into the local school while they decided to run a shop and gather information via the civilians first. In further effort to hide themselves, they changed their last names—as it was the only one the village's authorities might recognize.

Koutaku took to the academy quickly, but he held back in school, mostly to feign a lack of former education, thus making him stand out less. While he was recognized as talented, no one ever really gave him a second glance after a few years had passed, as he had come to fit in just fine. He succeeded, managing to impress some of his tutors, while others didn't like him much. While he'd had a good amount of the technical knowledge taught to him by the clan in years prior, the academy did help him develop his own style, and so he did grow alongside his classmates, creating at least a measure of kinship between them. So it was that he did his parents parents proud, which helped him build his self-confidence as he graduated and became a genin.

Over time, with his genin team changing members—in large part due to an unfortunate accident on one of their missions—Koutaku learned a lot, coming into contact with a wide variety of people during his team as a genin. With his team he grew considerably, becoming even more studious in his efforts to increase his own knowledge and hone his own skills. When the time came him and his team participated in the chuunin exams, and he and one other passed, with the third sadly not following in their stead due to his own lack of self-confidence.

Still, intent to rise up even further in the village, Koutaku took on the mantle of chuunin and went on what missions he could, eventually even partaking in a secret mission from his parents where he secreted away a set of information they'd retrieved illegally. As a result, both he and his parents passed when investigated by the authorities, with apologies and commendations being handed out in his case for his loyalty to the village. Life moved on...and then something happened, he came across a genjutsu user and nearly died—or thought he was going to—on a mission outside of the village. This reinforced his feat of genjutsu, but also made him face it. While truly coming into his own during this time, he also realized that it was of the utmost importance that he hide his biggest weakness from competitors...after all, the Jounin Exams are coming up, and he can't afford to fail.

Specialized Weapons & Items:

Name of Weapon or Item: Treated Holders.

Description: Rather than a simple item, this refers to all of the various pouches that Kōtaku uses to store his various tools and equipment. Essentially, he has treated the outside with heat and fluid resistant coatings in addition to having some of his more experienced relatives line the insides of the pouches with seals, protecting things like, say, his explosive tag pouch from being detonated easily. Should his explosive tag pouch be breached by something, the seal activates before being disrupted, essentially shredding his explosive tags before they can be detonated.

Fear of Genjutsu: Koutaku can only kai out of D rank, and non threatening C rank genjutsu. Anything above this can only be overcome with pain. Anything threatening (scary, basically. Including pain or psychological torture) of A rank is very difficult for him to get out of, and S rank is essentially unavoidable.

Divine Inspiration – Deconstruction: Like all members of his clan, Koutaku once had the potential to have one “Divine Inspiration,” which would allow him to intuit either one specific thing or one somewhat broad type of thing, after which point he would be capable of making something extraordinary in that area. In Koutaku's case this “Divine Inspiration,” falls into the category of “Deconstruction,” allowing him to figure out how things work, taking them apart in his head, and then making something new out of the parts as it were. This makes him great at improving preexisting techniques and creating some novel ninjutsu, but limits his ability to learn things outside of his realm of study, that being ninjutsu. This trait is further limited by the fact that he only has access to the Wind affinity. It should be noted that this does not necessarily prevent him from learning techniques in other areas, it just prevents him from mastering those areas or truly innovating in them.

Custom Jutsu

Name of Technique: Ura Jōshō no Jutsu(_{裏上昇の術} 'Reverse climbing technique').
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: E.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: Using the same principles of the tree climbing technique with sufficient chakra control, the user may cause themselves to be pushed away from something with varying degrees of force depending on the amount of chakra applied.

Weakness: N/A.

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

Name of Technique: Kiyō Sonae(_器用備え 'Dexterous arrangement').
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: D.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: Channeling chakra through one's own muscles, nerves, and other necessary tissues—typically within the arms, wrists and hands—the user enhances their ability to skillfully manipulate objects as well as increasing the speed at which they can do so. This technique should not be utilized for extended periods of time as it causes undue strain on the affected body parts. Despite this, it is relatively useful, and while it is a simple technique based on typical principles, it does require decent chakra control to fully utilize. This may make techniques such as Chakra Flow or other projected chakra-based abilities.

Weakness: Listed above.

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

Name of Technique: Kazaho(_風歩 'Wind Step').
Type of Jutsu: Supplementary ninjutsu.
Rank: D.
Range: Personal.
Nature Type: Wind.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: Kneading wind chakra in one's feet, the user releases two rather small bursts of wind, one moving down, and the other up. While the strength can be altered via chakra distribution, the general effect causes the winds to clash almost like solid objects, propelling the user as if there was an invisible foothold in midair. The technique can be, as mentioned, modified to suit other purposes, but will never be strong enough to do any direct damage.

Weakness: Supplementary. Affinity weaknesses.

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

Name of Technique: Kōdo Henge no Jutsu(_{高度変化の術} 'Advanced transformation technique').
Type of Jutsu: Supplementary ninjutsu.
Rank: C.
Range: Contact for initiation.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: Based on the Henge no Jutsu, this technique, through refined chakra control and coding, allows the user to dynamically transform themselves or objects more or less at will. To utilize the technique, the user must first channel their chakra into the desired object(s) or person(s) which they wish to affect at which pont they may alter or expand upon various aspects of the affected object(s) or person(s). Additionally, due to the chakra control required for this technique the user can often more swiftly transform things from form to form. It should be noted that, as the user's skill increases so to will their ability to cause complex or more numerous simultaneous transformations.

Weakness: Almost entirely supplementary and requires a small but continuous stream of chakra to maintain.

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

Name of Technique: Shinkū-shitsu(_真空室 'Vacuum Chamber').
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: C.
Range: 10 meters.
Nature Type: Wind.
Handseals: 5.
Description: A two stage technique that first creates a cylindrical vacuum--its max size being 10 meters long with a radius of 1.5 meters. Within the 'tunnel' there is no air or air friction, but gravity persists. Stage two is activated by a flux of chakra and causes the redirected air to be sent down the tunnel in a concussive blast capable of sending anything 300 lbs and below flying 10 meters plus the length of the 'tunnel' not already traveled by the blast. The size of the 'tunnel' can be modified, with its chakra consumption--usually--and movable weight--always--scaling with its size. At the aforementioned maximum output the technique takes 1/5th of Koutaku's chakra pool, meaning he can only use it in this manner 5 times with a full chakra pool before losing consciousness.

*I.E, technique creates a vacuum and then uses it like a cannon to fire wind. Can be used three times per day at max output

Weakness: Affinity weaknesses.

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

Name of Technique: Ten no Tsunzaku(_天の劈く 'Pierce the Heavens').
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: C.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Wind.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: Palming a kunai, the user slips it onto a finger and begins spinning it while inputting chakra using Wind affinity Chakra Flow. The longer the kunai is spun the more chakra is channeled into it and the further, and faster, it will go when released. Due to the sheer speed of the technique, anything below 10 meters away can be considered to be at point blank range.

Weakness: The technique requires the user have one hand free and limits the speed of their handseals as a result. If the user cannot spin a kunai on their finger they cannot use the technique and they also cannot use it without a kunai.

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

Name of Technique: Asshuku Saya(_圧縮鞘 'Compression Sheath').
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: C.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Wind.
Handseals: 2.
Description: Preforming one handseal to initiate the technique, the user will use Chakra Flow on an item, pressing wind affinity chakra into it. Once activated any air that comes into contact with the implement will be pulled into a thin layer of chakra coating the weapon and pressurized. The more air pulled in, the greater the pressure. The user may use a second handseal to release the wind, otherwise it will be released/detonated upon contact with a foreign surface, creature, or individual.

Weakness: Requires some kind of object, typically throwable, be on the user's person, possesses the typical affinity weaknesses of wind release techniques, and is not terribly powerful unless given time to build up.

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

Name of Technique: Jiku Tenkō(_軸転向 'Axis Conversion').
Type of Jutsu: Supplementary Ninjutsu.
Rank: C.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Wind.
Handseals: 2.
Description: Infusing wind affinity chakra into an object during the use of Chakra Flow, the user can then, at any moment, utilize one additional handseal to have the object release the stored wind chakra, swiveling the object on an axis, and then releasing the rest of the chakra in a potent blast of wind, sending the item hurtling in the new direction. This technique can be utilized on objects held or thrown.

Weakness: Requires the use of an object, thus the user must have an object. Is affected by affinity weaknesses as well. Only one instance of the technique can be active on a given item at a time.

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

Name of Technique: Kensei-are(_牽制荒れ 'Feint Gale).
Type of Jutsu: Nintaijutsu; Sensory; Supplementary.
Rank: C.
Range: Personal.
Nature Type: Wind.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: Requiring for the Koutaku to remain stationary for 3-10 seconds to initiate the technique, he will regulate the flow of his chakra into his physical body via his breathing. Once his breath and his chakra are in sync he begins releasing a small amount of wind chakra from his hands, feet, chest, and back. The wind affinity chakra is subtle and nigh undetectable unless there is sufficient dirt, dust, or debris to tip someone off. This chakra flows up the arms from the hands, up the legs from the feet, and across the chest, back, and head from the two release points on the chest and back. Ironically, the weak point of the technique is the head.

The purpose of Kensei-are is as such, it allows the user to, at will, harden or relax the body with greater ease, amplifying the strength and responsiveness in general, while the surrounding wind chakra can reduce the momentum behind strikes or be 'streamed' outwards to augment and redirect the user's own trajectory.

Weakness: The wind chakra can only be streamed from the aforementioned points on the body (chest, back, hands, and feet). While the technique is not chakra intensive to activate it does quickly consume chakra, leaving him at roughly 1/5th of his total pool by the time three minutes have passed.

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

Name of Technique: Senshi jōgo(_穿刺漏斗 'Piercing Funnel').
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: B.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Wind.
Handseals: 5.
Description: Building on Asshuku Saya, this technique creates a tiny vaccuum or funnel into which wind is pulled. This process occurs at a decent pace, but is considerably faster if it is applied to a moving object. Performing the final handseal, the user wills the gathered wind into a shape with their chakra, binding it as such. The resulting wind revolves at high speed whilst retaining its form, creating a devastating slicing or piercing attack. May amplify other techniques.

Weakness: Affinity weaknesses. Additionally, Senshi jōgo cannot be utilized alongside Jiku Tenkō. The technique must be applied to an object—no more than two at once—and drains 1/4th of his total chakra pool per use. The technique may be more or less effective depending on the shape it is willed to take. While the technique can be maintained for a two minutes, if left alone, it becomes weaker over that period of time, reducing its effectiveness.

Elande Slums

Size: Large tower(s) and surrounding area.
Description: An ancient city of slums that has been build and rebuilt over centuries. The houses stacked together so high that you can barely see the sky. Made of scrap metal, half rotten wood, and poor quality mortar and bricks this arena is actually quite destructible. However much is destroyed will simply be "repaired" in time by the countless slum dwellers. Many wires connect the multileveled buildings like zip lines, but it is anyone's guess as to if they will hold.

Few slum dwellers are in the arena scattered throughout the towers and area. They are a race of human like bipeds with little ability to speak. It is unlikely they will interfere in the fight, but might attack feebly if confronted.

Mountain Monastery

[+]

Size: Path is 15ft wide and quite tall, winding upwards. Court Yard 200ft long, 75ft wide.
Player Capacity: 2.
Description: This Monastery in the mountains is home to a peaceful order of religious monks. It is beautifully kept with sand gardens and banzai trees. There is a small 25x25 foot raised platform in the center of the court yard that is often used for meditation. The constant drone of chanting often fills the narrow winding mountain paths that lead to this secluded monastery. In the winter the paths are full of snow, making travel all but impossible. It is in the spring that the true beauty of this divine place becomes apparent and life blooms all around it.

Yoshua's Character Storage Mark VII

Noir Iridian

[+]

Name: Noir Iridian.
Age: 19.
Gender: Male.
Appearance: Noir stands at 5’10 with a lean muscular build and dark blue eyes. His weapon, Chimera, is often seen laid across his back via a mechanical harness allowing it to be reoriented so as to be drawn over his shoulder or from the small of his back on either side. At his belt are held several additional magazines containing both dust and ammunition for his weapon.

Personality: Calm, cool, and collected. (Will be expanded on ICly)

Weapon: Chimera.

[+]

Noir’s weapon is a swordspear at heart, but expands the capabilities of such significantly via numerous technological additions and alterations. Core among these is its hollow shaft, which travels all the way through the weapon and essentially functions as the chamber of the precision firearm integrated into the tool. In the guard and part of the surrounding enclosure at the base of the blade, Chimera holds compartments for both regular ammunition and dust as well as a hidden set of mechanisms that allow for shot to be fired in either direction down the barrel. From the blade-side tip of the barrel a partially rounded blade extends, closing off that end unless shot is to be released, thus retaining the swordspear’s ability to pierce with great effectiveness. Similarly, if dust is fired, rather than shot, the protrusion can remain closed, instead releasing the material through microscopic pores, proliferating upon the blade elemental effects rather than releasing a projectile. The last set of its mechanical properties lie within the shaft of the weapon, which can telescope--building up pressure in the mechanism--and then expand back to its original size with great speed and force, facilitating powerful thrusts with little setup or strength required from Noir. This telescoping mechanism plays into the last two functions in this set, which allow for the shaft to segment revealing a black carbon nanofiber tube within, essentially turning the weapon into a mid range chainsword. Of course, rather than segment, the nature of the individual sections allows them to shift several inches perpendicular to the arrangement of the shaft, creating hand or footholds for Noir to use as he sees fit. All-in-all, Chimera is an incredibly versatile combination of tools in one fairly compact package.

Compact Length: 4.5 feet(2ft shaft).
Swordspear Length: Approx’ 8.5 feet(6ft shaft).
Full Extension Length: 16.5 feet(14ft shaft).

---

Item: Dust Cannisters.
He carries Fire, Lightning, and Gravity variants.

---

Companion: Mezzanote.
His pet bird, which is typically around the size of a raven, though with rather strange markings. Depicted in his appearance picture, though there it is under the influence of Noir's semblance. The bird is trained to respond to commands--both verbal and gesture based.

Semblance: Transmogrify.
A form of warped enhancement or transformation, Noir’s semblance allows him to initiate a transformation--via contact--on any material, or willing participant. This enhancement gives the target drastically improved attributes at the cost of stability and/or reliability. This often includes making things larger, more durable, sharper--serrated even--and generally more potent whereas dexterity in its various forms are often lost as things like accuracy or precision movement are lost. Similarly, his semblance can make simpler things more complex...sometimes to their own detriment. The effect of this semblance is cumulative, making affected objects or individuals more and more potent at greater and greater cost over time.

History: Wouldn’t you like to know.

Capes of Denver: A Worm RP

Chatterbox

Theme

---

Based on call outs in comms, the glimpses he periodically got of Behemoth, and the state of the city, things were not going particularly well for them. He tried to focus on his purpose--and on organizing thralls--honing in on the trapped, injured, and salvageable in the wreckage, as well as calming people and enhancing the teamwork of his decidedly temporary compatriots. He kept a smile off of his face, despite feeling a certain warmth buried under the cold reality and barely controlled terror that Behemoth’s presence in Denver caused. Of course, the disgust and revulsion he felt when they came across charred corpses or people so injured that they were barely alive--more gore than person. Indeed, he had failed to hold himself together several times now when faced with the terrible carnage of the Endbringer.

Still, he kept on, swallowing down his bile every additional time he almost lost whatever little was left in his stomach. He had a job to do...and his own goals to pursue. He could hardly do that if the city and its inhabitants were totally eviscerated. He didn’t want to have to set himself up elsewhere, especially since it might mean losing his employer...and his many fans.

"In the collapsed building just ahead, we’ve got quite a few survivors," he pointed out to his group, gesturing in the direction to be more specific. He began heading in that direction, organizing those who would listen to him and--similarly--using the volume of his voice to latch onto the locations of those within even more. After a few moments of this some of the survivors began calling out, trying to help the capes find them more easily.

All the while, Chatterbox’s mind whirled through plans and processing information as he got it, organizing his moves if the city--and enough of its population--survived this ordeal.

It would be a totally new arena, he realized, and he was honestly looking forwards to the challenge.

Evelyn Chambers – Tulpa

---

Evading and watching at a distance for a long while after her projection had demanifested, she stayed with Cascade, keeping mobile and never staying in the same place for terribly long. She didn’t want to make herself an easy target, she knew that much. In the meantime, she used her tulpa’s shadow to locate capes--along with her comms--and then spread out its influence, detecting survivors and then pointing them out to groups. It was a maneuver with a dual purpose: Helping people and gathering powers and physical traits for her next attack on the hero killer.

Her face scrunched up at the thought, disgusted that even despite her efforts the Endbringer had felled some of Denver’s greatest defenders. It was just another point against this cruel, evil world they lived in. Shaking her head she refocused, mind more adroit with the added traits from Cascade’s power. After roughly fifteen or so minutes she decided it was time.

The silver silhouette drew itself together, consolidating its ethereal form and rising above the skyline of Denver. Evelyn bit her lip, sorting through powers and physical traits, mixing and matching as she felt was best until suddenly...she hit a block. She tilted her head and opened her eyes.

"Huh?"

She tried again...to no avail, her power refusing to add or remix further. She tried expanding the size of the projection. Nothing.

"What’s happening?" She uttered in what would become a quiet horror. Cascade raised an eyebrow, and put a hand on her shoulder.

"What’s wrong?"

Evelyn kept trying...and failing, to add complexity to her projection, but could not, "I...I don’t..." she clutched at the edges of her clothes, mouth working, but no further sound coming out. She swallowed hard, a sinking feeling swiftly becoming an aching emptiness in her chest.

"Are you alright?" Cascade said, a worried tone entering her voice. Evelyn shook her head, took a deep breath and tried to calm down, repeating the exercise for a long thirty seconds before her heartbeat finally began to slow.

"My power’s not working right," she managed, her voice small and reedy. She grit her teeth and steeled her nerves. This...this wasn’t the time, the world needed her. She cast her eyes to Behemoth and the heroes desperately trying to slow the endbringer down.

They needed her.

Evelyn stopped rearranging the powers she’d planned to. It seemed she had more...limitations now. She wasn’t sure of the shape of them, or the reason they were so suddenly present, but she had an inkling and she also had more pressing concerns.

"It doesn’t matter." She said, determination leaking back into her voice and body language.

She’d tried destroying Behemoth and that hadn’t worked. Now she didn’t have that option it seemed. Instead, she’d have to slow him down. This in mind she settled on her projection’s powerset.

Threefold altered state: Single phase temporal matter lock~~Permanent~~Form modulation. Limit, mass rearrangement. Twofold: High precision expanded phase-integration. Limit, personal integration, range. Twofold: Integration-initiated transcendent escalation. Focus, radius amplification. Physical phase-state modulation. Focus, repair.

Then she began work on the silhouette and the physical traits of the form. The former expanded out into a huge grid-like network so closely woven that one would not have been able to tell that it was even individual ‘strands’. From there she assigned its traits, her focus intense, eyes closed.

Air+energy(weightless). Metal(solid).

That finished she took a breath and manifested the projection. The silver light disappeared, replaced by...nothing. The projection moved, its presence only apparent by how dust and debris swirled or was cleaved as it came into contact with the thing.

She decided that she’d call this manifestation the Wraith.

Its name given, the projection flew into motion, disturbing air and particulate with its passing, but otherwise ignoring all obstacles on its path towards Behemoth.

Soon she would see how the dynakinetic fared against the Wraith’s ethereal trickery.
