[OOC] An Alternate Universe Naruto Story

<Snipped quote by anothered>

Can Hikari just be the Jonin leader then? Either team works

@Randomguy

Everyone needs a Genin though - the team will only have two genin.

[anothered]

@anothered, Sorry for the trouble I gave you, then. I'll nerf Ren and remove my Hokage OC.

@Letter Bee

It's no trouble, why don't you make him the Jounin of team 2?

@anothered

Yeah sure, I mean. Make Hikari a Jonin leader, and I'll make a genin.

[anothered]

@RandomguyOK perfect!

@anothered

Sure; I presume he cannot keep the Mirror of Possibilities?

Edit: I can also remove the Space-Time Jutsu.

@Letter Bee

He can keep the mirror, I like the concept of his multiversal abilities. He's a Jounin so he should be powerful. I think you should remove his access to the Sharingan and Byakugan though.

He can keep space-time, since it's his ability theme.

• Everyone needs to edit their sheet and make their Genin less OP.

@anothered

Ahah, I'm actually happy to see order imposed here. I admit I was getting genuinely concerned about the precedent allowing that Hokage PC as-is would set in a "jump-in" RP and admittedly felt the need to defensively scale a bit against that bullshit (speaking of, glad to see the switch from "jump in" to "apply".) Edits made (which basically consisted of undoing the backstory change that led to ability alterations). So, Kasumi doesn't have an opportunity to get the Shadow Clone (yet, though, I'd certainly say it's "on the list", kek), and she hasn't had a sufficient stress trigger yet to awaken her Sharingan, leaving that also to later power progression. ^v^

[anothered]

@Lewascan2T H E O R D E R H A S B E E N I M P O S E D - feel the wrath of GM

No seriously, I hate being bossy and limiting everyone but otherwise the narrative was gonna be all over the place.

First post is ready to go once I submit my second genin, it'll take me about a half hour.

[Lewascan2]

@anothered

Oh yeah, on team assignments, I've had chatter elsewhere with Hikari's player that makes me think she'd be a very good fit for Kasumi's Jounin sensei. Randomguy suggested I mention it before anything is set in stone, but that's a pair-up I think has good synergy.

@anothered, I also want Kasumi to be Ren's sensei, btw.

I think you mean Hikari? Kasumi is a fellow Genin. :V

Yes, I meant Hikari.

@anothered, My guy, now redone as a Jounin:

======

A P P E A R A N C E

N A M E
Satoshi 'Ash' Shimura, Jounin of Konohagure.

P E R S O N A L I T Y
Brave, Daring, and a believer in both his capabilities and that of his subordinates, Satoshi is moderately charitable and compassionate but those who know him can also see that there is an emptiness in his heart that forces him to play up his positive traits to rise in the ranks. However, those privy to his real plans could see a madman, broken by the horrors of war and bouncing back and forth between a hunger for power and a genuine desire to make life better for everyone. How was he going to do that? By mastering a Justu that goes beyond time and space and delves into possible universes and dimensions, allowing him to pick the best possible choice for this universe and impose it on others.

Obviously, to everyone else, he'll fail. But to those closest to him, he has that spark of brilliance that can, even in failure, change the world.

B A C K S T O R Y
Satoshi was a war orphan, adopted by a Jounin of Konoha, who showed promise in the Research and Development department, where he took an interest in the Second Hokage's time/space Jutsu and even managed to dissect the theory behind some of the more complex techniques. Eventually, however, he was drafted into the Third Shinobi World War, where he found himself the guardian of a team of Genin; apprentices whose lives were before them, who had boundless potential... And who eventually died, one by one, in horrible ways that haunted him with the thought: Could there have been a world where, had different choices been made, their fates could have been avoided?

Eventually, Satoshi discovered a technique of his own, one that would normally be a Forbidden Jutsu, which he used to win the Third War for Konohakagure - The Mirror of Possibilities Technique. This Jutsu allowed him to temporarily 'overwrite' his own skillset and body with an alternate self; one that had trained in different skill sets, had different mentors, and eventually, different births. Essentially, this was a Technique that overrode his current identity and replaced it with a new one from a parallel universe - His mind memories and core self were unaffected, but he could call on information and powers from his alternate selves... Including alternate selves who were part of various Missing-nin organizations.

Of course, Satoshi had to hide the full extent of his new powers, lest he be imprisoned and used as a test subject. He did so long enough to become a Jounin, and now, he is free to begin his greatest work: Find out how to gather all the existing Jinchūriki together to power a variation of his technique that would find the one version of his world that reached a lasting peace - And layer it over this one!

C H A K R A
Lightning, but has mastered Wind as well.

A B I L I T I E S

Space-Time Ninjutsu - Though not as adept as another world's Fourth Hokage, Satoshi is good enough at Space-Time Ninjutsu to boost his speed to beyond superhuman levels, teleport himself short distances (up to an apartment building's length), and slow down time enough for him to cast the Mirror of Possibilities Technique.

Genius-level Intelligence - Satoshi is as intelligent as a certain world's amoral snake-themed genius, albeit in different specialties. Where that person specialized in biology, he specialized in physics. Where that person saw power in bloodline limits and modifications to the human form, Satoshi focuses on the fundamental forces of the Multiverse and how they can be made use of. He also knows enough about politics and political theory to keep enough people happy, and thus maintain his position as a Jounin.

Normal Ninja Package - Every basic Ninja ability that a Jounin should know, including kunai throwing, basic taijutsu, basic first aid and medical jutsu, substitution techniques, and transformation jutsu, is included here.

Fuinjutsu - Knows enough Fuinjutsu to make an Uzumaki jealous, and can theoretically undo the Hyuuga's Caged Bird Seal while making it look like it still worked, or even transfer control of the seal to himself, with his knowledge.

Mirror of Possibilities Technique - Satoshi's Magnum Opus and Trump Card, the Mirror of Possibilities technique allows him to override his self with the powers and knowledge of an alternate universe counterpart while keeping his ego and memories intact. This allows him access to techniques he should not know, write down confidential information about families and organizations he is not a part of for his original self to read later, and by tapping into selves that became crime lords or legitimate businessmen, learn how to make cash in discreet ways. However, he cannot copy Bloodline Limits, Eye Powers, or other living beings, so he cannot turn himself into a Jinchūriki because that requires him to copy a Tailed Beast, nor can he give himself the Byakugan, Sharingan, and Rinnegan.

E Q U I P M E N T

- Standard Ninja Kit (weapons, scrolls, and seals, brushes, medicines).
- A lot of cash.
- Political Connections.

@Letter BeeLooks good! Accepted!

Introducing, Team 2's Mu:

Clink, Clank, Clud

A P P E A R A N C E

N A M E
Mu Hayashi

P E R S O N A L I T Y
Mu is a spirited and imaginative Genin with a personality as vibrant as his inventive creations. Known for his boundless curiosity and insatiable thirst for knowledge, Mu approaches life with a sense of wonder that permeates every aspect of his being. His optimism is contagious, often inspiring those around him to see possibilities where others may only see challenges. Despite his genius in crafting combat devices, Mu remains remarkably humble, attributing his successes to a combination of experimentation and a deep respect for the natural world.

B A C K S T O R Y
Born into a family of skilled woodworkers in the hidden village of Konoha, Mu grew up surrounded by the artistry of timber. His early fascination with the inherent versatility of wood led him to experiment with carving and shaping, transforming everyday objects into makeshift tools. Recognizing his innate talent, the village elders encouraged Mu to enroll in the Ninja Academy, where his unconventional approach to combat caught the attention of his instructors.

C H A K R A
Earth

A B I L I T I E S
Mu has taken the art of combat in a unique direction with his wooden craftsmanship. He defies convention by fashioning intricate combat devices solely from timber, harnessing the latent potential of the seemingly mundane material. Mu has crafted a diverse array of wooden tools, from intricately collapsible shields to versatile wooden suits of armour. Despite his ingenuity and creativity, he faces a significant weakness in the inherent fragility of wood compared to more conventional materials used in ninja tools. Physically weaker and slower than his peers, Mu is helpless if his inventions are destroyed.

E Q U I P M E N T
Various devices within summoning scrolls.

@anothered

The solution is actually fairly easy, as Bee asked shortly after me if Ren could be under Hikari as well. So, if it works for you, you could just swap them, have Ren on Team 2 and Satoshi as the Jonin of Team 1.

But then there are two Sharignans in Team 1, haha

Edit: oh wait wait wait, I get you

Edit, edit: Let's do that then. Ren is Team 2.

@anothered

There'd be two Sharingans in Team 2 as well regardless if/when Kasumi awakens hers. lmao
I'm not sure Shana even has hers yet; it wasn't listed on her CS.

Edit: Disregard that, kek. I forgot Satoshi can no longer magic up a Sharingan. Mixed up my brain. :P

@anothered here's my genin. What do you think?

A P P E A R A N C E
[PLACEHOLDER]

B I O
Name: Shinya Aburame
Age: 13
Rank: Genin
Title:

P E R S O N A L I T Y
Born as a member of the Aburame clan, Shinya's constant companions aside from his family while growing up are insects. Like many Aburames, Shinya sees the world through a lens of ordered rationality. Everything has its place, and every action requires a clear logical reason that justifies its necessity. In one sense, this makes Shinya an ideal file and rank shinobi, it does however, hamper Shinya's ability to connect with his teammates and prevents him from making snap decisions under fire. Shinya realizes this and tries to rectify it, unfortunately, more often than not, he comes across as awkward. Alas, such is the common problem faced by many Aburames growing up.

B A C K S T O R Y
Shinya was born as a member of the Aburame clan, and like all Aburames, Shinya was implanted with parasitic insects at birth, making insects Shinya's constant companion throughout his life. To Shinya, the world of insects seems much more logical to live in. Compared to humans, insects are logical, utilitarian, and ordered. Every member of the colony has their purpose and all serve the colony. To an insect the reason you are born, and the reason you fight are clear. This is what Shinya believed as a member of as shinobi clan in the colony that is Konoha, his role is to defend Konoha. To fight in Konoha's defence, grow strong, and pass on his ability and techniques to his children. Such is the logical lot for an Aburame. The older clan members, however, often mention that though Shinya is right as a human—not an insect—life is so much more than that. And the more Shinya grew up, the more he started to agree with the sentiment. Ordered logic alone is not the world humans live in, and neither should anyone live that way. Still, Shinya has not found for himself what else is there except a distinct sense that something is missing, if there is a dream Shinya has, it is probably finding that 'something'.

C H A K R A
Earth

A B I L I T I E S

Basic Shinobi 101

The basic skills every shinobi has. As an academy graduate with relatively above-average grades, Shinya has decent proficiency with all basic shinobi skills. However, he is particularly good in chakra control due to the Aburame's clan practice of insect rearing. The various special breeds of insects utilized by the clan require different chakra sustenance, and so an Aburame member typically has good chakra control.

Aburame Insects

The signature ability of an Aburame. As a member of the Aburame clan, Shinya uses his body as a nest for the insects used by the Aburame for their various techniques. At this stage, Shinya still only has access to the basic parasitic insects that feed on chakra.

E Q U I P M E N T

Standard Shinobi Kit
The standard kit shinobis carry for fieldwork. Contains pouches with kunai and shuriken, basic first aid, some rations, and soldier pills.

Insect Jar
While Aburame typically stores their insects inside their body, some still carry gourds or jars, typically containing special insects that they are not ready to have inside their body. Shinya's jar contains the Kochu, a breed of insects with potentially fatal poison.
