[hider=Io Megami][b][u]Name[/u][/b]: Io Megami [i][u]Gender[/u][/i]: M [b][u]Age[/u][/b]: 17 ========================================= [b][u]Weapons/Items[/u][/b]: Weapon Scrolls ==================== [b]Name of Weapon or Item:[/b] Weapon Scrolls [b]Description:[/b] Upon activation, one of four elemental puppets are summoned. However, this is rarely necessary, as the puppets are generally by his side anyways. Kiri - A giant black wolf with blood red eyes that, along with lighting itself on fire, can launch fire from its mouth. Thanks to internal seals, it's completely fireproof. Guru - A slightly smaller tortoise(relative to Kieri) with a nigh impermeable shell. It can shoot concussive blasts of water from its mouth like a cannon. Tama - A falcon that can launch piercing, knife-like feathers from its wings. Kurogane - A wooden peg that takes the earth around it to form an earthen samurai. By moving through the earth, Kurogane's core can "teleport" to anywhere where the ground made of earth, albeit nowhere near instantly. It becomes stronger depending on the materials it's using. The remaining scrolls shoot out a shower of senbon when activated. [b]Appearance:[/b] One scroll colored red(Kiri), blue(Guru), green(Tama), brown(Kurogane), and several colored yellow(senbon). ========================================= [b][u]Appearance[/u][/b]: [img]http://data1.whicdn.com/images/81832234/large.jpg[/img] Io's eyes change with his split-personalities: Crimson for Kiri, sky for Guru, emerald for Tama, and a deep brown for Kurogane. They are normally a glistening amber. [b][u]Personality[/u][/b]: Due to the side-effects of the jutsu he invented, Io's mind is divided into several different personalities that belong to his puppets, who fight over control of his body. In his normal state, where his eyes are a bright amber, Io is... somewhat ironically, emotionless. He wants to say whatever is on his mind, even if it's quite rude(usually, this the case), but will usually be stopped by "Kiri". Kiri identifies as a girl, and positively glows with self-confidence. She has a strong will to do as she pleases, and her short temper is only matched by how easily flustered she gets. Compared to Kiri, Guru is much more humble and peaceful. He prefers to use words over his fists and seems to enjoy acting as a counselor for others, giving his best answer to a person's problems. While he's usually the one to stop Kiri from punching someone in the face, he might let it happen if truly believes that the person deserves it. If he's absolutely fuming, Guru can give out a brutal verbal beating. Tama has the most energetic personality of the bunch and, pun completely intended, is the somewhat of a birdbrain. Nonetheless, she finds joy with helping others and is quite lovable for that reason. Incredibly pure, she interrupts Io the most for when he's about to say something that would come across as "gross". Befitting of an honorable shinobi or samurai, Kurogane is a dutiful man who fulfills his promises to the best of his abilities. He tends to be gloomy and unbudgingly stubborn, but his grudges are easily buried when the situation calls for it. [u][b]History[/b][/u]: In his childhood, Io wasn't necessarily interested in the idea of becoming a ninja, but was absolutely entranced by puppets. As a result, he ended up learning the relatively complicated process building and using puppets instead of the academy's basics; while incompetent in actually applying them, he had skills far above what would be normal for his age. Empowered by his genius and obsession, he created four amazing puppets, ones that would become his favorites: Kiri, Guru, Tama, and Kurogane. Of course, having spent so much time simply building puppets on his own, Io had no friends aside from his creations. Not understanding why they didn't count for his parents, Io searched for a way to give them independent life. As he researched, he came across texts on the Kage Bushin no Jutsu and human puppets. He wasn't insane enough to kill others, but dividing himself would probably be enough. Io finally put his theoretical technique to practice after confirming it was safe, but collapsed as his consciousness was torn apart. Following the incident, his puppets could move like living beings, but Io himself seemed to become more dead. He would suddenly burst into motion as if he were possessed, which startled those who saw him immensely. Nonetheless, his parents were surprisingly happy with this; it was oddly refreshing, as if they suddenly had more members to their family. Io didn't regret his decision, either. However, this new life was quickly cut short when the [s]Fire Nation attacked[/s]Land of Fire began its "peaceful" movement. Unable to accept his country's surrender, Io left before troops reached his town and began wandering the land on his own. ========================================= [b][u]Strengths[/u][/b]: Along with practically acting as a multi-man team alone, Io and his puppets work perfectly in sync, which is a distinct advantage. Genjutsu is nigh useless against him, as each individual consciousness can break it. He also is quite proficient in taking apart all sorts of devices, including other puppets. [b][u]Weaknesses[/u][/b]: Io is unexperienced in stealth and has no idea how to use most types of jutsu, meaning he can be easily defeated by ambushes and seasoned fighters. ========================================= [b][u]Io's Jutsu[/u][/b]: [b]Name of Jutsu:[/b] Soul Split Command [b]Rank:[/b] A [b]Range:[/b] N/A [b]Type of Jutsu:[/b] Kinjutsu, Hiden [b]Element Affinity:[/b] N/A [b]Description:[/b] After splitting his consciousness into several fragments, Io's puppets gained their own personalities and the ability to move and attack on its own. Each shard, while capable of traveling between Io and its bound body, retains the ability to communicate with each other. [b]Weakness:[/b] The puppets, if being controlled directly, can be affected by genjutsu. ==================== [b]Name of Jutsu:[/b] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Chakra_Threads]Chakra Threads[/url] [b]Rank:[/b] C [b]Range:[/b] Short-Mid [b]Type of Jutsu:[/b] Multi-Purpose Ninjutsu [b]Element Affinity (If Applicable):[/b] N/A ==================== [b]Name of Jutsu:[/b] Senbon Thunderstorm [b]Rank:[/b] B [b]Range:[/b] Short-Long [b]Type of Jutsu:[/b] Shurikenjutsu [b]Element Affinity (If Applicable):[/b] Lightning [b]Description:[/b] Using one of his senbon scrolls, he rains a barrage of needles down on his opponents. As they move, he sends arcing electricity through them, which is stronger up close. [b]Weakness:[/b] Assuming that he even has enough chakra to use it that many times, Io can only use this three times before having to reload his scrolls. Furthermore, due to the large area, caution must be taken to not accidentally hit an ally.[/hider]
