My apologies for my irresponsibility. I never finished posting character profiles after leaving, but at least I'm doing it later, as opposed to never, right? ^^;

Anyway, here's my first entry in my 5-entries-in-a-day series. Here goes...

SENSEI

-No profile listed-

TEAM MEMBERS

Name: Jitsuzai Takuna

Age: 16

Rank: Genin

Personality: He has a good sense of humour, though a lot of his jokes are deadpan and it’s hard to tell whether he’s joking or not. He’s quite serious but then again, he’s an easygoing kind of person. He speaks in a refined tone and tends to speak clearly, though being as lazy as he is, he sometimes lets his speech slip and speaks informally. In fact, one of his greatest failings is his laziness and apathy. Fortunately, he has good natural talent that counteracts his laziness. When in danger, he forces himself to calm down and think about the situation carefully, though when flung into combat, he just lets himself feel the area around him and go through the art of combat as naturally as he can. He’s a dreamer, sometimes spaces out and likes to think. He is originally from Kumogakure, The Village Hidden in the Clouds and he and his parents escaped there and defected to Konoha. He seems very easygoing about this and doesn’t let it get to him, as in Kumogakure, he was considered an outsider already, because everybody knew of he and his parents views on the war. As such, his loyalties lie with Konoha and he is prepared to fight his own countrymen.

Appearance: His skin is very pale and his hair is black and straight, with a parting and the hair at the back reaching down to the bottom of his neck, the front coming down to his jaw. His eyes are a dark crimson. With regards to clothes, they are all black and he keeps fairly well covered up, with long sleeves and a polo-neck, occasionally wearing his gloves. His top is semi-loose, not tight but not loose enough to move around all that much, the torso buttoned up the front, with little pockets on the inside hiding razor disks and shuriken. He wears his kunai on his right leg and a short katana on his left leg. About his shoulders he wears a cape, though a very short one, the front not even covering his chest and the back not covering his shoulder blades completely. On his back, he wears twin katana, though these katana are more slim than usual and they are also straight, with a hidden edge along the back of them. His trousers are fairly loose, enough only to be completely manoeuvrable but not so that they are large enough to get in the way. There are subtle gold trimmings on his clothes and he looks fairly regal. On his feet, he doesn’t wear the usual sandals but he wears black jika-tabi. He also wears a belt in which he keeps small tools hidden. There are hidden pockets all over his clothes. (He doesn’t like to carry bags.)

Fighting style/skills: He can fight with both his swords and his hands and is a short to mid-range fighter, being poor at long range. Fortunately, he can attain the distance he needs with ease, by using his kekkei genkai. When fighting he likes to keep the enemy guessing as to where he is and while he prefers to fight as a striker, as the way of the assassin, he can stand his ground and use his swordsmanship skills to fight steadfast, though this isn’t preferred as it’s removing one of his advantages; the ability to be all over his enemy. When fighting unarmed, he tends to fight with either his palms completely open or just his fingers curled over, his palm still exposed. When fighting this way, he tried to strike at vital spots, doing as much damage he can with as little power as he can, his physical strength not being very impressive. He sometimes uses bursts of electricity when he makes contact, in order to causes momentary spasms or to distract. His weakness is primarily those that are better at close range combat than he is, particularly those that are good at defending and countering or making very quick counter-attacks, making the Hyuuga particularly dangerous. He’s not strong against people that have wide attack ranges, like those that use water jutsu, as it is harder to dodge and harder to pass through. He’s weak against those that are better at mobility than he is which is rare but it does happen, this being his primary advantage. He’s weak against those that are able to keep him at a distance, like some that use a constant barrage, depending on how they go about doing it. He loses his greatest advantage against those that have an additional awareness, like the byakugan, as that can keep track of him despite moving so fast and unnaturally.

His chakra type is a lightning aligned, though he believes that there is something else which aligns itself with him, also. (That is the ‘aether’, the fabric of reality, just so you know.)

Weapons: Slim, straight twin-katana, which he can use both together or one at a time. He is capable of using curved katana, however and does switch to them occasionally. He also owns and is capable of using a two-handed longsword, though he hasn’t specialised in it. He seems to find that he prefers using razor disk as well as kunai, rather than just kunai themselves as they seem to behave in a different way when thrown, making it wise to alternate, to keep the enemy guessing. He keeps a short, straight katana on his left leg, as his twin swords become impractical when indoors. This sword his generally what his choice would be for assassination.

Team: Sora’s character: Nara Soren & Omega’s character: Hyomi. His Sensei was Tenkai.

Relationships within team: He knows that Hyomi has a crush on Soren and that she is very shy about it. He enjoys putting her in positions that where she is near Soren, just for the fun of watching her go red. He feels very much on the same wavelength as Soren, both of them being lazy though both of them still getting on with what they have to do. With regards to Hyomi, Takuna doesn’t dislike her and doesn’t find her annoying in any way, as she tends to be very quiet. Tenkai is someone that Takuna eagerly waits to be taught many different sword techniques by and respects his power and position of authority over him.

List of jutsu: Genjitsubanare, his kekkei genkai, which allows him to deny various aspects of physics and reality, doing impossible things. Using this, he doesn’t need to use substitutions and replacements, as he is able to, for a short moment, let things pass through him or to be able to move without needing acceleration or even motivation, though he hasn’t really got the hang of letting things pass through him yet, that needing a certain amount of skill to get the knack. Despite this, he’s relatively quite skilled with his kekkei genkai.

Enko oonami no jutsu, his standard lightning attack. This attack requires as much feel as it does chakra and seals, as not only do you input seals and use chakra to fire it, but depending on how you fore it, the strike can arc somewhat.

He also has a jutsu where he can electrically charge his unarmed attacks, which I cannot remember the name of, (I have it at home, I think) to give them more potency or to cause detrimental effects to his enemy, depending on where he strikes them and how much power is pumped out. Using this ability is easy but using it well is extremely hard. Getting the right balance of power at the same time as having the right amount of accuracy is very difficult and he simply uses it as well as he can.

His sword attacks are fairly freestyle and done by feel and thus, he doesn’t use many sword-based taijutsu. It is notable that he uses it in conjunction with his kekkei genkai, however and his general style is sometimes referred to as a taijutsu called Ninja art: ‘impossible assault’.

Clan: Jitsuzai, a clan from the land of lightning that can altar their standing in reality in different ways, depending on how they train it. It’s best described as a form of physics denial. When they active their Genjitsubanare (their kekkei genkai) to its higher levels, their eyes go entirely black and they feel closer to the fabric of reality, able to detect fluctuations in it, which can mean sensing of strong physical disturbances in the area or an instinctive knowledge of what’s going on around them, even if they can’t see it. This, however, is nothing like the Byakugan. It only lets them know that something is happening in a certain area and they react by getting a feel for it and making it instinctive. For instance, while a Hyuuga would literally be able to see someone creeping up behind them, a Jitsuzai can only know that there is something happening behind them. In the end, it has the same effectiveness as an enhanced sense of hearing or echolocation. Using this makes up for their being able to move around unnaturally, which would normally even confuse the user. The Jitsuzai clan is very small but also very strong and their fighting styles are very varied. They all tend to use a weapon of some sort, most specialising in one weapon and then being fair at a few others. (Takuna picked unarmed and twin blades, to specialise in.) Their style depends on how their kekkei genkai has developed, most Jitsuzai acting as strikers.

Name: Nara Soren

Member name: .:Sora:.

Age: 16

Rank: Genin

Personality: Soren is laid back, quiet, and lazy, much like his uncle Shikamaru. Usually he can be found sleeping up on a tree branch or wandering around town, looking for something to do. Despite his lack of motivation, Soren is extremely intelligent and prefers to be an observer of a fight, figuring out his opponent's weaknesses and other important information.

Appearance: Kinda long brown hair that goes down to the edge of his ears. He wears a small pair of frameless glasses and wears his headband around his left arm. Soren wears a pair of black cargo pants, and a dark green longsleeve shirt, covered by a black shortsleeve jacket. He also wears a small pouch on his right leg which holds his shruiken, kunai, and throwing needles. He alwasy carrys a small puppet with him where ever he goes. The puppet looks slightly like a ragdoll crossed with a voodoo doll, with a mouth stitched in a smile. Two black buttons are used for eyes.

Fighting style/skills: Soren is particualary skilled in Genjutsu, using the shadows and other objects on the battle field to stay out of view and hidden. He specializes in the shadow possession type jutsu, his prefered one being the Shadow Puppet Possession jutsu. Soren is can easily loose focus in fights that extend over a long period of time. Due to his preferance to stay hidden and attack from afar, he can't take too many physical hits. He is also extremely weak in Taijutsu, using only Genjutsu. Usually, he has his puppet do most of the attacking for him, and only coming out of his hiding spot if he is in extreme danger.

Weapons: Typical shruiken and kunai, as well as throwing needles and a small puppet which he uses for most of his Jutsu

Team: Hyomi and Takuna (Although I'm not sure if Takuna is going to be playing again this time. Gravemind did RP as Hyomi, so that should be fine.)

Relationships within team: Hyomi has a crush on him, although Soren is completely oblivious to her affections and just thinks she's weird.

List of jutsu: Shadow Clone Jutsu: Creates Shadow Clones of Soren. Usually used in conjunction with his Puppet Jutsu.

Shadow Possession Jutsu: Allows him to immobilize his opponents by taking control of their shadow. He can also make them mimic his movements and speech.

Shadow Puppet Jutsu: Allows Soren to transfer his shadow into his puppet, becoming it. He can also use shadows to control the puppet from afar.

Hiding Smoke Jutsu: Creates a cloud of black/grey smoke that obscures the view anyone around him. He usually uses it to create cover for himself and his teammates.

Clan: Nara

Name: Saito Hyomi

Age: 13

Rank: Genin

Personality: Hyomi always blushes when she is embarrassed; which is often. She is shy and usually stutters. She is easily frightened. When someone downs her she usually cries. On the inside she often wants to stand up, but is always afraid to do it. She has a vague interest in puppetry and Kankuro the great puppet master. Her hobbies include making puppets, studying Genjutsu, and thinking about Soren.

Appearance: Hyomi has a dark skin color like her brother Ikashi, from living in the jungle. On her left arm is a birth mark shaped like a rose. He hair is a light blue and has a ribbon in it. Her hair is tied into two large buns which separate into really long hair. Her aye color is a nice combination of red and green (The Raidou). She is small and is approximately 5’4. She also has gloves on; they have the Saito clan symbol on it (A cross with a crow standing on it). She wears a green long-sleeved shirt over a belt and a blue skirt. She keeps her kunai on her left leg. She also wears the standard Shinobi sandals. She wears her headband around her belt.

Fighting style/skills: Hyomi is specialized in Genjutsu. She has no talent for Ninjutsu which often inhibits her abilities. She is a long-range fighter preferring to use her puppets for physical combat. Using her small figure she usually manages to dodge most attacks. She usually starts out by placing the opponent in a genjutsu. Then she lures them into a trap against one of her puppets. Her weakness include that she has no talent in Taijutsu or Ninjutsu. She also is skilled in tracking.

Weapons: Senbon Needles with a special poison that paralysis. She also has two puppets.
