I present... [center][b]Ayame Choko, the Sewstress, Hokages' assistant and future team leader for these brats you call 'chunin'.[/b][/center] [hider=Ayame Choko] [center][IMG]http://i60.tinypic.com/2q2pp46.png[/IMG] [i]“A great fireball to a needle, something just as lethal.”[/i] [b]Ayame is an appealing girl, somewhat above average in looks but with an appealing charm. She has no overly defining features, aside from her relatively large eyes, which eyeball those around her carefully. Her eyes are dark in color, a mixture of dark blue aking to a deep ocean, and grey like the rain she so often enjoys. It's essentially impossible to narrow down her eye color, as they shift with the lighting. In dark lighting her eyes seem greyish, in proper lighting such as the sun her eyes are a deep dark blue. It matters little to Ayame. Her chin is pointed, and her jawline is rounded. Her noise is pointy but thin, with a relatively average sized nose bridge, although 'average' is all a matter of perspective. Her frame is petite, with relatively small breast size, narrow build and a hourglass figure as she is small in the waist, then wider in the hip area. She doesn't put in any effort to accentuate this, if it happens it happens. Her slender figure means she easily gets definition in her muscles, meaning that her arms eye muscled, although very lightly so. Her legs have definition too, but not as much as her arms. Her arms are relatively thin, too. Her legs are slightly more thick, especially her calves, from the running around she has to do on orders of the Hokage. As for her hair, she is originally a blonde but she's known to dye her hair frequently with self made dying colors. Currently her hair is black, but it's bound to change soon. It is very easy to pick colors when you have shadow clones to practice on. Her hair is often tied up into 2 'ponytails' of sorts at the side, akin to the reference picture a intel. shinobi managed to snap of her during a fake date. We have no idea how he managed to escape once it became clear that he was not interested in her - rumour has it he is still hiding.

She believes that there is always a catch to anything people do, which she doesn't deem a neccesarily bad thing since that's how the world works. As such she is generally rather skeptic of people doing things for her, or behaving nicely towards her. To her, anyone will always want something, whether that's a favor, a good work environment or even just giving yourself a nice feeling since you were being nice to someone. As such she has come to accept this and even work [b]with[/b] it, ensuring herself that it is okay to be friendly to everyone simply to achieve a nice working environment. Regardless of whether she is gratifying herself or is genuinely interested in who she talks to she'll maintain a 'nice face' as it's called and smile. In a neutral situation, with say a politician or a foreign envoy, she'd be formal and respectful, making sure to follow procedures such as bowing and use of words. She would hold herself back a bit more and remain in the back, not speaking often, although that has more to do with her assisting position rather than her timid nature in these situation - she can be friendly, angry or pushy in the neutral situations if she has to. In negative situations such as combat or when she hears of a setback that is not so close to her, she'll often remain rather calm, as her position as assistant and jonin demands her to be calm and calculating. In battle she is often more prone to bouts of anger, as naturally expected in battle, although she'd do her best to keep it in check if there are students with her. When fighting solo she simply lets go, since she doesn't have to fear for anyone taking on these traits as weakness or a strength that they need to replicate since she believes everyones reactions to battle are their own and need not be forced upon them. In emotional situations such as death or a personal setback, or perhaps a more positive one such as pregnancy or promotion/graduation of a familiar person, she's prone to bouts of emotional crying, whether crying of sadness or happiness. She's not afraid to let go and doesn't seem to mind others seeing her.[/i] 【[U]History[/U]】 [i]When Ayame was born, she was mothered and fathered by her parents in Amegakure. She had an older brother who was 10 years older, Fujitora, who she got along with pretty well. In base school she wasn't a very.. good student. She spent her time practicing, but she barely achieved average grades in jutsu and taijutsu, being much too frail for the latter and simply not being very good at the former. She passed her test.. [b]barely.[/b] Only in highschool did she really accomplish bigger feats and did she earn the nickname of the Sewstress. She was very able to use senbon and a large sword that was named, how could it be called anything else, [b]dai-senbon,[/b] or great senbon. She was able to hit a mark with senbon at a 100m distance at first, and accurately hit them in vital areas. She gradually and quickly extended the range to even greater distance, never losing accuracy. As an added feature she dabbled in poisonry and found out she had an affinity for it, too. That and her relatively good swordsmanship with the dai senbon meant she had found a way to become a proper shinobi, and a good one too. The remainder of her years in highschool were spent focussing on these skills, leaving any jutsu and taijutsu to the others. After graduation she, her brother and father decided to move to Konohagakure after the mass introduction of technology took place and prices started fluctuating, as well as a loss of income for the family. In the same timeperiod their mother passed as a result of a brain tumor, only adding to the reasons of wanting to move away from Amegakure. They got to Konohagakure hoping to find a more suitable job, which was achieved for both Ayame and Fujitora as Ayame went on to become a Hokages' assistant and Fujitora became the jonin commander of Konohagakure.[/i] 【[U]Family ties[/U]】 [i]Ayame's family was rather loving, average in most aspects. An untimely death of the mother led to a migration of homes, and a slight destabilization of the home environment but after that things returned to normal rapidly.[/i] [b]Akinero Choko | Father | 61, Konohagakure, retiree. Lives in an appartment of his own where he plays a lot of chess with neighbours. Mori Choko | Mother | 53, Amegakure, deceased. Rests in a tomb on the Amegakure graveyard, which is adorned with a large tombstone. Fujitora Choko | Brother | 35, Konohagakure, jonin commander. Best friend and biggest rival to Ayame.[/b] 【[U]Dreams and fears[/U]】 [i]Ayame dreams of a more peaceful world, although that is rather cliché she seems to think it's essentially impossible to achieve. The world is already quite peaceful, but small conflicts are boiling up, old feuds as well. Hoping to eradicate these too, she pushes the Hokage to support the police departments around Konoha more, and to allow jonins more freedom in helping them too. Besides that she also dreams of getting married one day, or at the very least have a boyfriend. But boys are stupid. She fears losing her family, most visibly her brother whom she loves dearly. That is a rather common fear, but she has more. She also fears growing old, becoming wrinkled and ugly and losing her appeal to others. To counter this she takes self made tonics that work against it, although there's only so much you can do.[/i][/indent] [hr] [u][b]Combat reports.[/b][/u] [i]Gathered from evaluation reports after missions.[/i] [indent]【[U]Fighting style[/U]】 [i]Ayame focusses on a versatile but highly accurate style of fighting using senbon to take down primary targets, along with poison to do the work if she can't manage to kill the target before he flees. Lower prioritized targets get the pleasure of being skewered with her dai senbon, a very sharply pointed sword that is able to pierce through most armors with no trouble, although it's not as effective when uesd for cutting - as expected of a gigantic needle.[/i] 【[U]Custom made techniques[/U]】 [b][u]Jutsu name:[/u][/b] [i]Senbon Art: Senbon Rain[/i] [b][u]Rank:[/u][/b] [i]B[/i] [b][u]Range:[/u][/b] [i]A circle with a diameter of 50m.[/i] [b][u]Description:[/u][/b] [i]Grabbing a lot of senbon, she throws them into the air after which they fly quite high. After that the senbon will begin falling down from an extremely high altitude, giving them speed. The result is a storm of senbon falling down around her, falling everywhere except for her own position due to the high amount of skill she has in this technique. The senbon are most likely [b]not[/b] coated in poison, given the difficulty of concocting new poison and the expensiveness of these poisons - these are reserved for high priority targets.[/i] [b][u]Jutsu name:[/u][/b] [i]Senbon Art: Senbon Coffin technique[/i] [b][u]Rank:[/u][/b] [i]A[/i] [b][u]Range:[/u][/b] [i]A single target, targeted at a max range of 10m.[/i] [b][u]Description:[/u][/b] [i]The jutsu is one of the few jutsu that Ayame can perform that require chakra, although in a less direct way than you'd expect. She forms the tiger seal after which she augments chakra in her legs and feet, making her somewhat faster akin to the body flicker technique. What follows is a storm of senbon coming at a target from all sides, seemingly from random places as if they simply appear out of thin air and fly towards the targets at an extremely high speed. In reality what happens is, using her heightened speed she will 'body flicker' towards spots around the target, throwing senbon as she goes and doing this at such a high speed that it appears as if all these senbon (usually +- 30 senbon) are thrown at once from numerous positions. Depending on the targets these senbon [b]may or may not[/b] be poisoned. This technique is quite deadly, however it can be avoided by moving, as even though Ayame is quite skilled, it remains hard for [b]anyone[/b] to accurately hit lethal places on a human body whilst they and yourself are moving, and a senbon is only really deadly if aimed extremely accurately for these positions.[/i] [b][u]Jutsu name:[/u][/b] [i]Dai Senbon: Sewing Dance[/i] [b][u]Rank:[/u][/b] [i]A[/i] [b][u]Range:[/u][/b] [i]An area within a circle with a diameter of +- 25m around the user.[/i] [b][u]Description:[/u][/b] [i]Attaching an entire spool of chakra string to the dai senbon's end circle/handle, the user throws the senbon towards a target and using the chakra string (s)he will be able to steer the dai senbon as long as the user has chakra or the chakra string remains attached. The dai senbon will maintain speed, and the generally 'semi invisible' chakra string will lead to this technique possibly being mistaken for a wind technique - it's more to do with chakra control and the chakra string. The technique, while rudimentary, has shown to be very capable and in previous battles has sown together a grand total of 5 enemies in a single usage of the technique, lining them all together and, depending on where they were hit, being incapacitated or dead.[/i] [b][u]Jutsu name:[/u][/b] [i]Senbon Art: Split Needles Poisoning[/i] [b][u]Rank:[/u][/b] [i]S[/i] [b][u]Range:[/u][/b] [i]Any range.[/i] [b][u]Description:[/u][/b] [i]Ayame's trump card, this technique is only possible because all of her needles are infused with some of her chakra, which is done pre-battle. In short: this technique splits the needles into a million tiny different particles of whatever material the needle is made of by imploding it, forcing it to 'explode' and form a cloud of (metal and poisonous) dust. A rather harmless technique if done on a single senbon, but given that Ayame is very skilled in senbon usage, the technique can be done on a lot of senbon at once. The technique is usually preceded by throwing a very large amount of senbon at a target, until the user is satisfied with the amount of senbon stuck in the targets' body. If the poison weren't enough to absolutely destroy the target, the technique will. After this three seals are formed and the dormant chakra in the senbon will be activated, forcing the senbon to explode into particles - the parts of senbon outside the body (sticking out a wound) will explode into an inhaleable cloud of metal and poison dust, and given the proximity to the user it will be physically impossible to get away without inhaling atleast [b]some[/b] of it. The part of the senbon stuck inside the wound will also explode, sending metal particles into the open wound, and given the fact that there are no doubt blood vessels close by, sending poisonous metal shards into the blood stream, essentially poisoning the target at a very fast rate, meanwhile also cutting up the insides of a target. The more senbon are stuck inside a target, the quicker death will come. Besides the obvious implications of this technique, it only gets worse when combined with senbon guiding - the chakra still left in the senbon particles would be enough for chakra guiding the senbon much as one would divert a kunai that you've thrown. Guiding the particles, it is possible to lacerate one's innards, giving internal bleeding and further poisoning with a flick of the wrist in exchange for a very high chakra cost.[/i] [b][u]Jutsu name:[/u][/b] [i]Senbon Art: Needle Mirage[/i] [b][u]Rank:[/u][/b] [i]A[/i] [b][u]Range:[/u][/b] [i]10m max[/i] [b][u]Description:[/u][/b] [i]The user throws a set of 3 senbon, one aimed at the head, one aimed at the heart and the other at a main artery in the neck. After throwing the senbon the user quickly claps their hands together, the sound of the clap spreading a genjutsu that quickly brings all those who heard it under the impression that the three senbon are actually a storm of 100+ senbon, and most likely bringing them under the impression that dodging is futile. A simple, if not effective technique.[/i] 【[U]Weaponry, tools and objects.[/U]】 [b][u]Weapon, tool or object name:[/u][/b] [i]Dai-Senbon.[/i] [b][u]Weapon, tool or object type:[/u][/b] [i]The weapon is a very large needle used as a sword, made out of extremely strong bone of some sort of extremely large animal - imagine a whales bone, with extremely hardened properties.[/i] [b][u]Description:[/u][/b] [i]The sword reaches up to about Ayame's breast in height, and is stored in a sheath of leather on her back. The handle is adorned with leather wraps on them, and is positioned in the circle where normally the thread goes through the needle. The sword is extremely pointy and sharp - able to pierce metals sheets with minimal effort and, given enough effort to push it through, it can push through an entire human given enough momentum. A downside is that the sides of the sword do not cut, so if you remain in close quarters Ayame will not have enough space to stab and will be forced to retreat so she can get enough space or stop using the weapon.[/i] [b][u]Weapon, tool or object name:[/u][/b] [i]Poison kit[/i] [b][u]Weapon, tool or object type:[/u][/b] [i]The poison kit is a pouch that Ayame sometimes carries on extensive missions or long lasting expeditions. There are a mortar and pestle in there, as well as a small supply of plants that allow Ayame to create tonics, poisons or other things while on the move. There are also some vials in there with stored poisons of a more rare variant. [/i] [b][u]Description:[/u][/b] [i]The pouch resembles a normal shinobi's tool pouch where they store all their kunai, shuriken and other tools. As such it's pretty much indiscernible from those pouches.[/i] [b][u]Weapon, tool or object name:[/u][/b] [i]Dragons' Lament[/i] [b][u]Weapon, tool or object type:[/u][/b] [i]This tool is a type of poison made from water, a small amount of acid and the petals of a Red Glorybloom, a common and unsuspecting flower in Konohagakure. [/i] [b][u]Description:[/u][/b] [i]The poison is dark purple in color, close to black in it's vial. The potency of this poison lies in its paralysing traits, in that it will shut down musclemass around the area where it strikes. If you get hit in the leg your leg will slowly shut down as the poison spreads through the muscles. Although this seems relatively harmless - it doesn't outright kill you - it can be detrimental to a fight if, for instance, you get hit by a multitude of senbon covered in this poison. Imagine both your legs dropping down useless. You will be victim to a simple dagger in the heart, or worse, a dai-senbon to the face. And, since the heart is essentially muscle with lots of blood veins running through to pump the blood around, a single senbon in the heart might be able to take someones live. The effects last around 4-5 minutes depending on the potency of the batch of poison.[/i] [b][u]Weapon, tool or object name:[/u][/b] [i]Rotflesh Coat[/i] [b][u]Weapon, tool or object type:[/u][/b] [i]This type of poison is made from rotting flesh, maggots, a single drop of the saliva of a rare toad named the Kingsguard Toad.[/i] [b][u]Description:[/u][/b] [i]This poison, when in contact with the skin, will bring in a sudden bout of rot in the skin. While not especially harmful it is extremely painful to feel your skin rapidly getting covered in rotten-ness. The effects last around a day, after which the poison will have been purged from your body and the spread of rot will stop. Never the less the rot remains for a full week, remaining painful but not spreading anymore. That is.. if you survived the battle.[/i] [b][u]Weapon, tool or object name:[/u][/b] [i]Red Cow Poison[/i] [b][u]Weapon, tool or object type:[/u][/b] [i]This poison variant is created using a cow tooth, a cow hide and milk, alongside pure water from the Uji spring near Amegakure, a drop of red spider eggsap and a wasps stinger.[/i] [b][u]Description:[/u][/b] [i]This poison causes no significant effects the first ten minutes after being hit. If combined with some boasts about the potency of this poison it might even bring about laughter when the targets thinks nothing were happening. In reality the poison remains dormant for 10 minutes, after which it will slowly begin sapping away at the targets' vision, until they are blinded. This effect of blindness lasts only 2 minutes, but that is enough time to finish off a target.[/i][/indent] [/hider]
