[hider=Ueno Haruka][center][img]http://i.imgur.com/0yIzlNQ.jpg[/img] [i]“There will always be a cause to die for.”[/i] With long, dark-green hair, Ueno Haruka can be described as a rather pretty guy, with a tan, rounded face, soft smiles and warm blue eyes. He is well-muscled beneath either his standard Konoha black shirt and flak jacket combination or his less formal olivine/white jacket and trousers, possessing a powerful, yet slightly lean, build. Despite his handsome (girly, to some folks) appearance, he is actually quite forgettable, the 1.8m tall man usually fading into the background of his native village's titanic forests.[/center] [u][h3]Personnel files.[/h3][/u] [i]Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance.[/i] [indent]【[U]Full Name[/U]】 [I]Ueno Haruka[/I] 【[U]Alias[/U]】 [i]Olivine Oni[/i] 【[U]Age[/U]】 [i]21[/i] 【[U]Gender[/U]】 [i]Male[/i] 【[U]Birthplace[/U]】 [i]Konohagakure[/i] 【[U]Bloodline[/U]】 [i]Ueno - second generation ninja.[/i] 【[U]Rank[/U]】 [i]Chūnin[/i][/indent] [u][b]Psych. report.[/b][/u] [i]Medical secrecy applies.[/i] [indent] 【[U]Personality[/U]】 [i]At first glance, Haruka seems to be quite a bland guy, always quietly standing in the background and pondering on whatever seems to have caught his fancy. He is fond of acting with caution, always taking the time to analyse the situation and find possible outcomes (even if unlikely and strange-sounding). However, there are times when he can be a bit reckless, a trait that is juxtaposed against the quiet, reserved image many have of him. Indeed, for all his claims of trying to be unbiased and open, those who act contrary to his moral code and what he considers good and right can easily ignite his temper, though he has been trying to tone it down in recent months. He is a just man, which would have been a rarity in his occupation prior to the conclusion of the Fourth Shinobi World War so long ago, but in this day and age, Haruka is simply just another heroic defender of the Leaf Village. As such, it is quite easy to dismiss him as a bland, average nice guy who can, depending on the situation, be somewhat of a doormat. Although not really an exuberant or expressive guy, the down-to-earth Konoha ninja has a dry sense of humour with a mildly venomous mean streak a mile wide. He secretly possesses some enjoyment in watching others suffer, his hidden affliction with depression driving him to find any source of amusement in life, even if it is the misfortune of others. He can be quite self-depreciative, though despite it he has absolute confidence in his own abilities, especially in his breadth of knowledge on all things related to the geopolitical situation, ninja history, and other trivial facts. Though not on the levels of prodigies, his intelligence cannot be underestimated, and his diligence in completing all tasks to the best of his abilities has made him quite a valuable ally and dangerous opponent. He also has a pragmatic edge to him, though at times he suffers conflict between it and his sense of justice. He is capable of unwise decisions, however, and is prone to always trying to give others a second chance. Haruka is also a very good liar, and frequently employs humour to shy away from anything that eats away at his heart.[/i] 【[U]History[/U]】 [i]The first son of two first-generation chūnin ninja, Haruka was descended, on his father's side of the family, from former Sand civilians who had emigrated from a small border town on the Fire/Sand border to Konoha in search of a better life. His early years were spent in the care of his civilian paternal grandparents in the suburbs of Konoha, where he learnt the value of hard work, taking care of others and other moral teachings that would serve as the basis of his life from then on. His relationship with his parents was rather distant due to their lack of presence and unfamiliarity with raising children, but the future ninja still admired them, and was intent on following in their footsteps in defending the village. He would graduate from the Academy at twelve, joining a genin team under a former superior of his mother's. In the years that followed, Haruka would throw himself into his training, studying numerous techniques and mastering the art of naginatajutsu. He had been scared of fighting hand-to-hand, believing his skills to be lackluster in that regard, but as he matured he soon found himself engaging in it, though he would still be far superior with a polearm in hand. At sixteen, Haruka would participate in his second Chūnin Exams with his team, seeking to make up for his horrid defeat two years prior. It had been gruelling, but in the end he triumphed, the only member of the team to be recognised for his tactical abilities and promoted to Chūnin. It was a role he threw himself into with vigour and passion, frequently participating in missions both solo and on squads, whether they be his old team or not. In recent months, he's been hanging around being a gate guard. [/i] 【[U]Family ties[/U]】 [i]The Ueno family was a small, eight-member household in the suburbs of Konohagakure. Though the parents were frequently away on missions, there was a strong sense of love and filial piety between them all, with the mission payments going all to provide for the four Ueno children and the Ueno grandparents. Haruka has always loved them, and seeks to make them as proud as they can be.[/i] [b]Ueno Hajime | Father | 42, Konohagakure, Chūnin; serves as one of the Hokage's guards.[/b] [b]Murakami Jun | Mother | 42, Konohagakure, Special Jōnin; works in the Cryptography Department.[/b] [b]Ueno Haruto | Younger Brother | 19, Genin; A cooking-nin worker at the Ramen Ichiraku Grand Station.[/b] [b]Ueno Haruki | Younger Brother | 16, Author; Critically acclaimed for [i]Kushina on the Shore[/i], a semi-autobiographical tale about the mother of the famed Seventh Hokage, Uzumaki Naruto.

In a fortunate stroke of luck, she has been recommended to the Fire Institute in the Capital for her studies.[/b] 【[U]Dreams and fears[/U]】 [i]Years of constantly failing to meet his own expectations have left Haruka with few grand dreams, with the surviving ones being quite simple and basic, such as "owning a house with two-storeys", "meet a nice girl", "pay off my mortgage", "become a Special Jōnin" and "travel the world". He is rather content with his life, though he seeks to earn more money to enjoy a satisfying life. His fears however, are rather numerous, whether it be more abstract ones such as failing his own expectations, losing his friends and seeing them hurt, or simpler ones like cockroaches. He also fears death and the unknown.[/i][/indent] [u][b]Combat reports.[/b][/u] [i]Gathered from evaluation reports after missions.[/i] [indent]【[U]Fighting style[/U]】 [i]Ueno is highly skilled in the art of naginatajutsu; his weapon of choice is a ko-naginata with 40cm long blade and 180cm long nagaye. Although most effective against large groups or in formation, he is still dangerous in close-quarters combat against singular foes. Beyond the usage of the naginata, he is familiar with numerous weapons. His fighting style is restrained and purposeful, with focus on both upper and lower body strength, as well as stable stances. Due to average chakra capacities, jutsu (with familiarity in both genjutsu and ninjutsu) is mostly used to supplant his martial arts skills.[/i] 【[U]Bloodline limit[/U]】 [i]N/A[/i] 【[U]Ninja techniques[/U]】 [u]A rank techniques:[/u] [i][url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Blade_of_Wind]Blade of Wind[/url][/i] [u]B rank techniques:[/u] [i][url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Flying_Swallow]Flying Swallow[/url] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Earth_Release:_Earth_Spear]Earth Release: Earth Spear[/url] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Earth_Release:_Earth-Style_Wall]Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall[/url] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Wind_Release:_Vacuum_Wave]Wind Release: Vacuum Wave[/url] [/i] [u]C rank techniques:[/u] [i][url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Wind_Release:_Great_Breakthrough]Wind Release: Great Breakthrough[/url] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Earth_Release:_Underground_Projection_Fish_Technique]Earth Release: Underground Projection Fish Technique[/url][/i] [u]D-E rank techniques:[/u] [i][url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Wind_Release:_Vacuum_Blade]Wind Release: Vacuum Blade[/url] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Earth_Release:_Double_Suicide_Decapitation_Technique]Earth Release: Double Suicide Decapitation Technique[/url] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Demonic_Illusion:_Hell_Viewing_Technique]Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique[/url] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Demonic_Illusion:_Double_False_Surroundings_Technique]Demonic Illusion: Double False Surroundings Technique[/url] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Body_Replacement_Technique]Body Replacement Technique[/url] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Cloak_of_Invisibility_Technique]Cloak of Invisibility Technique[/url] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Clone_Technique]Clone Technique[/url] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Transformation_Technique]Transformation Technique[/url] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Body_Flicker_Technique]Body Flicker Technique[/url] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Shadow_Shuriken_Technique]Shadow Shuriken Technique[/url] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Temporary_Paralysis_Technique]Temporary Paralysis Technique[/url] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Rope_Escape_Technique]Rope Escape Technique[/url][/i] 【[U]Weaponry, tools and objects.[/U]】 [b][u]Weapon, tool or object name:[/u][/b] [i]Ko-naginata[/i] [b][u]Description:[/u][/b] [i]40cm long blade, made of boron-nitride. 180cm long nagaye, made of reinforced carbon-carbon.

Nah wait that'd be too harsh on them.”[/i] Tall and scruffy, the patriarch of the Ueno family is not a man that seems to really exude competence. His looks, while ruggedly handsome, are offset by his choice of bland and uninspired clothing, frequenting donning a simple coat, white shirt and black combination that would usually be found amongst salarymen. However, standing at a height of 1.9m, Hajime can cut an intimidating figure when not so downcast-looking, possessing a muscular build honed through years of missions and sharp black eyes that will emerge from their shadows during times of severity, showing off his aura of seriousness that usually is only seen in the care of his magnificent facial hair.[/center] [u][h3]Personnel files.[/h3][/u] [i]Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance.[/i] [indent]【[U]Full Name[/U]】 [I]Ueno Hajime[/I] 【[U]Alias[/U]】 [i]Goatee Guru[/i] 【[U]Age[/U]】 [i]42[/i] 【[U]Gender[/U]】 [i]Male[/i] 【[U]Birthplace[/U]】 [i]Konohagakure[/i] 【[U]Bloodline[/U]】 [i]Ueno - first generation ninja.[/i] 【[U]Rank[/U]】 [i]Chūnin[/i][/indent] [u][b]Psych. report.[/b][/u] [i]Medical secrecy applies.[/i] [indent] 【[U]Personality[/U]】 [i]Much like his son, Ueno Hajime is also quite a bland-seeming guy, always waiting quietly in the background until something pressing catches his attention. He acts with caution, making sure to, if possible, to analyse the situation with care before acting. He is usually a reserved individual, solemnly determined to ensure that his duty is carried out to the best possible outcome. However, the extent to which he dedicates himself to his work can be described as overly obsessive at times, the intensity of his need to do work sometimes taking time out of his time with family and friends. It is a result of his perfectionism, as while he enjoys lazing around and relaxing, the guard is absolutely averse to failing to complete his work. His moral code is much like that of his son's, having too been developed under the care and tutelage of his father (and Haruka's grandfather). To be and fair and just is tantamount to his worldview, and he will strike hard at those who dare cross the line. He is also quite self-sacrificial, seeing his own worth as less than others, and is incredibly sensitive to the feelings of his friends and family. He always seeks to act in a manner that benefits the most people, though sometimes it can be pure utilitarianism and overly unfeeling. A patient figure most of the time, any attempts at harming his friends and family will send him into a rage. It would be unwise to annoy the usually lackadaisical chunin. After all, his administration and combat skills have netted him a spot on the Hokage's guard.[/i] 【[U]History[/U]】 [i]Growing up in the suburbs of Konohagakure, Ueno Hajime suffered some discrimination in his early life for being the son of "foreigners" from the Land of Wind. Life had never seemed to work out for the guy, for despite the strong support of his parents, his grades were lacklustre and average, and he was utterly unmotivated, possessing few friends due to his forgettableness and real lack of anything noteworthy. Though he had joined up with the Ninja Academy, by the time he was ten, he had already been thinking of ditching it all for the civilian life, no longer really that passionate about the dream he had cherished when younger. Then he met Jun. Murakami Jun was a classmate of his, renowned for her dry wit and smarts. She was a kind, diligent person, and it was quite obvious to everyone but him and her that Hajime possessed the biggest crush on her. And it was because of her that he began to work harder, realising that he would have to reach her level if he wanted to be treated seriously. So he soon jumped back into his work great vigour, improving at a rapid pace to earn her respect (and adoration, but even he himself didn't realise that). Of course, Jun, being overly dense at romance as well, saw this as a challenge and met it evenly. They weren't assigned to the same genin teams, but as the years went by, the two soon realised their love for one another, and following the end of a joint mission after their promotion to chunin at nineteen, the two finally started dating. Two years later, Hajime and Jun would have their first child, Haruka, followed up by their other three children in the next several years. He would, however, have little time to care for them, having been assigned the duty of guarding Hokage, while his wife ended up becoming a Special Jonin and top member of the Cryptography Division. Their marriage, which occurred a year after Haruka's birth, continues to grow stronger even today. While he misses the lack of time he has with his children, he enjoys his job immensely, and is on amicable terms with his employer and military leader.[/i][/indent] [/hider] [hider=NPC: Murakami Jun] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/2bWDQDH.png[/img] [i]“I wouldn't be much of a ninja if I were to tell you my secrets, would I?”[/i] Murakami Jun is a surprisingly tall woman, standing at a height of 1.8m, much like her eldest son. With an athletic build beneath her simple red vest and white dress shirt, it is clear that she is only in the later years of the prime of her life, and continues to possess exceptional physical conditioning. Her short, messy and sleek flop of hair is a shining green, contrasting against her pale complexion and stark red eyes. Though admittedly youthful-looking for a woman of forty and rather beautiful (the source of her eldest's own pretty-boy characteristics), the intensity in her gaze and professional aura ensures that none will miscontrue her as being less mature than she actually is.[/center] [u][h3]Personnel files.[/h3][/u] [i]Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance.[/i] [indent]【[U]Full Name[/U]】 [I]Murakami Jun[/I] 【[U]Alias[/U]】 [i]Keeper of Secrets[/i] 【[U]Age[/U]】 [i]42[/i] 【[U]Gender[/U]】 [i]Female[/i] 【[U]Birthplace[/U]】 [i]Konohagakure[/i] 【[U]Bloodline[/U]】 [i]Murakami - second generation ninja.[/i] 【[U]Rank[/U]】 [i]Special Jōnin[/i][/indent] [u][b]Psych. report.[/b][/u] [i]Medical secrecy applies.[/i] [indent] 【[U]Personality[/U]】 [i]From mere surface observations, Murakami Jun appears to be like an open book, always willing to help out and reveal any information one requires. Kind and friendly, she nearly seems naive and gullible, easily manipulated by anybody with the sense to take advantage of her position as the head of Konoha's Cryptography Department. It's almost too easy, how she is so willing to tell people random snippets of information, whether they be supposedly secret or just pieces of trivia. It is unfortunate then, that the forty year old special jōnin is a chronic liar. Though never afraid to be friendly and amicable, much of what Jun says could easily be a falsehood, a lie crafted upon the spot to misdirect people from the truth. Maybe it is simply an extension to the web she has wrought, a complicated tangle of mysteries that survive from the barest grounding in reality. Trusting her takes time and effort, and if she does not see you as a close member of her circle (such as her beloved family or her co-workers), half of what she may say could be completely untrue. And discovering whether or not she has lied is difficult, as to decipher her web requires intense investigation. None will find contradictions either. With an eidetic memory that allows her to remember everything she has done since she first became truly aware thirty-nine years ago, Jun can call upon every part of her experiences to ensure that her lies have bearing, and will personally deal with any loose-ends that could threaten her objectives. Ruthlessly. Great diligence is expended in crafting these stories, and the imaginative ninja also applies the same principles to both her work and personal life. Professional and dutiful under the watchful gaze of the Hokage, Jun is also a loving mother and wife, always willing to help out her children or lazy husband with their work. She is absolutely devoted to their wellbeing, and it is clear in her cheery smiles, surprising honesty and generosity that being with family and close friends is something that epitomises the good in her. Hurt them however, and those responsible will suffer horribly. Jun is extremely competent and intelligent, and she will make you experience the pain she suffers tenfold. It amuses her like that. However, she can be surprisingly dense at times, always missing out on some certain thing that others could notice. This can be simple things such as what mood people are in during a day, or more important, stranger things such as whether or not somebody wants to kill her. Indeed, she has been like this for much of her life, having not noticed Hajime's crush on her for several years.[/i] 【[U]History[/U]】 [i]The daughter of a respected jōnin, Jun had been determined to follow in her father's path and become a skilled ninja from the very beginning, signing up with the Ninja Academy when she was only eight years of age. During that period of time, she excelled at her work, learning techniques easily and all in all being quite the good student. However, though she was well on her way to achieving her dream, there had been a certain spark lacking in her life, driving her to come up with tall tales to entertain herself. This lasted until she met Ueno Hajime. While she had a few friends during her time at the Academy, Hajime was an enigma to her. Uninspired, lazy and an all-around slacker, it was a surprise that she had offered a hand of friendship towards him. This of course, lead to his sudden rise in grades, and though once seeing him as really just another dude, Jun realised that he was beginning to rival her own skills. So in a strange turn of events, she deemed Hajime her rival (and probably her crush as well, but she was too dense to realise that, much like him). They were assigned to different genin teams, but as the years passed, they grew to realise their love for one another, getting married at twenty. She would give birth to Haruka a year later, and soon became a mother of several more children later on. In spite of all this, Jun was still intent on doing her duties, and successfully obtained the posting of Cryptography Head, a position she continues to hold to this day.[/i][/indent] [/hider]
