Ninja Information
Clan/Bloodline: Although the Hagane are technically a clan, they are a clan that lives and operates in Konohagakure (Hidden Leaf). The few members of the clan that actually reside in Gobigakure has no idea that they are of a clan with traditions. The Hagane clan has no Kekkei Genkai.
Body Type and Shape: Although she makes people believe that her muscle does not take hours of daily training, this is actually not true. Haruka has a naturally endomorphic body type, which means that although gaining muscle is possible for her, it requires hard work for it to not become fat. Her body shape is easily inverted triangle, as her broad shoulders easily go past her hip measurements, although she does try to give herself a more feminine shape by the clothes she wear.
Height: 4'7” - 140cm
Weight: 115 lbs - 52kg
Hair Color: Haruka's hair has an odd, purple color that would probably be described as “lavender”
Hair Style: Haruka's hair is cut in three layers of length. The front, her bangs, are cut to just above her eyes. The sides, her “frames”, are cut to her shoulders. The back of her hair is mostly free-growing, but she does get it cut to her middle back once it reaches her bum.
Eye Color: Haruka's eyes are a deep, speaking gray color, much like that of steel. This color is common for members of the Hagane clan.
Clothing: Haruka wears a crimson, sleeveless turtleneck top, knitted to her by her mother. It clings to her skin like a second layer and bunches a bit around her waist. She wears light gray short shorts, which willow out around her abdomen in an attempt to make her hips look wider. Her shorts are kpt up by a cream yellow belt, held together with a cute little bow. Her ninja boots are long, to just under the knees, and has a small amount of heel on them, as well as open toes.

Special Traits
Will of Steel
Haruka's will of steel is something that is believed to be inherited by the Hagane blood that flows in her veins. She is stubborn like few and once she gets an idea into her head, she will not stop until her goal has been accomplished.
Not the Sharpest Tool in the Shed
Although Haruka will fly into uncontrollable, table-throwing and wall-demolishing, rage whenever someone informs her of this fact, she really is not the sharpest tool in the shed. Her brain works in mysterious ways and takes far longer to get to a conclusion than most; and most of the time her conclusions are wrong.
The Clumsy Swordsman
Despite the fact that she constantly trips over her own feet, branches or even pebbles, Haruka has chosen to wield a giant, two-hand broadsword as her main weapon. The will often fall over when swinging her sword, due to the sheer weight of it.
Chakra Beast
Despite the fact that Haruka's control of her chakra is far from great, she is not very likely to run out of it. She has copious amounts of chakra for her to use, mostly due to her excessive training in an attempt to perfect her chakra educed strength.
Chakra Induced Strength
Haruka is obsessed with being physically strong and as so, she has gone as far as to make herself stronger by infusing her muscles with chakra. Due to this, her physical power is far beyond that of a regular human and she is capable of smashing boulders with her bare hands.
-====-
Equipment
”Seidou (正道)”
Haruka's trusty sword. “Her” name means, “The Path of Righteousness”. “Seidou” is stuck to her back in a magnetic sheath where the blade is “clicked” into place and held there by four small claws.
Ninja pouch
Haruka has her ninja pouch fastened to the back of her belt; right above her left butt-cheek. Within this ninja pouch, she carries with her a roll of bandages, a bottle of rubbing alcohol, a flash of water and a nutrition bar.
Weapon holster
Haruka carries her weapon holster on her left thigh. The holster has room for five kunai, five shuriken, ten makibishi and ten senbon, which she almost always has stocked to the max.

Jutsu:
Ninjutsu: (Pretty much all techniues that do not go into the other categories)
Village: Iwagakure no Sato (Village Hidden by Rocks - Hidden Rock Village)
Rank: Tokubetsu Jounin (Special Jounin)
Chakra Nature: [Primary] Suiton (Water Release) [Secondary] Doton (Earth Release)
Appearance: Tsubasa is a tall and slender young man, with long, feminine limbs and lean muscle. His facial features are rather round, despite the fact that his jaw is rather narrow. He has sleek, almond shaped eyes with golden irises and long, dark lashes and a slightly narrow mouth, with plumb lips. He has long, shiny, black hair that he usually collects in a lazy ponytail, letting whatever escapes just hang loose. He wears black leggings with a red tunic with dark gray trims and tall, steel-toed ninja sandals with a small heel. All of this coupled with the fact that his voice is utterly androgynous and his feminine mannerisms usually has people assuming him to be a woman; perhaps because he introduces himself as one.
Personality: Tsubasa is a kind and warm person, always with a friendly smile on his lips and plenty of friendly advice to pass around. He is also a giant flirt and will, despite being exclusively into women, gladly flirt with anyone that will let him. Tsubasa is very feminine in his mannerisms, tending to move his hands fluidly in small motions as he speaks and using a lot of “girly” terms - “That was so~ cute!” He is extremely hard to anger, although he is rather easily annoyed and is very unlike to act on his annoyance or even let people see that he is annoyed.
History:
Other: Tsubasa smacks his lips a lot when he is in stressful situations and will constantly push his hair behind his ear when nervous. He touches his own face a lot when speaking to someone he finds attractive. =========================================
Weapons/Items:
Description: Appearance:
=========================================
Special Traits:
Transvestite
Contrary to popular beliefs, transvestites have to desire to actually become the opposite sex; they merely look and act like them. Tsubasa dresses and carries himself like a woman and will even introduce himself as one, but considers himself a man and is very comfortable with his own body.
Heartbreaker
Tsubasa is blatantly flirtatious enough to make sailors blush and cares very little whetehr he is actually attracted to the object of his affections or not. He is, however, strictly interested in women and will only take a member of the fairer sex to bed. He loves the ladies and knows how to get them to love him back
”The Hunter”
Tsubasa earned his nickname and title as “The Hunter” because of his outstanding ability to track, find and uncover whatever he is hired for.
”The Coward”
Tsubasa earned this nickname due to the fact that he spends more time hiding underground, underwater or just in general that he does actually fighting if facing resistance.
Intelligence Gathering Specialist
It really is just a fancy way of saying “spy”. With his advanced skills in henge, his various concealing techniques and his abilities to completely mask his own presence, Tsubasa can infiltrate almost any place he needs to.
Scentless
Obviously, even Tsubasa's farts smell like rotting foods, he still stinks like a wet horse when he sweats and morning breath can still make your eyes water. However, he has, unlike most people, a way to completely conceal these scents, as well as any other scents he might emit.
Terrible Taijutsu
Tsubasa was never a very physically able person. He was always long, lean and limber, so despite the fact that he may be able to kick high enough to hit a person in the face, he hardly packs enough punch behind it to swat a fly.
Graceful as a Cat
Many years of training in the arts of dancing has granted Tsubasa a feather light footing that is not easily unbalanced. Like a cat, he always lands on his feet.
Pinpoint Chakra Control
When you do not have heaps of chakra to work with, you learn to use just the right amount. That one little “drop” of chakra may be the thing saving your life.
Kekkei Genkai: Himeru – 秘める – [lit. To conceal, hide, obscure] Those of the Nami clan possess a unique ability to completely conceal their chakra; both from prying sensory-types and from the eyes of the Hyuuga. They are able to compress their chakra reserves to the point where it is undetectable, unless you know exactly where the user actually is. =========================================

All three children have moved away from home and Abigail has even started a family of her own.
So here's the basic idea of my character. It's still a work in progress, but feel free to take a gander anyways. She's a bit... unusual, I guess.
The Nymph
Alias: (The) Nymph Real name: Katerina “Kira” Slutsky Age: Twenty-seven years of age (27) Gender: Female ♀
Appearance: Kira is considered a very attractive young woman by most; with her soft features, almond-shaped eyes, button nose,and plum lips, it is easy to mistake her for that sweet, innocent, and lovable “girl next door” type. Her hair is sandy blond with soft, wavy curls and is cur rather short so that it only reaches the top of her shoulders. Her eyes are a rich violet with a certain shine to them, like a sparkling amethyst, and framed by long, white-blond eyelashes. Although her face would in most cases be classified as pretty or beautiful, Kira has gone to great lengths for her body to be perceived as sexy. She was by nature blessed with a round type of body, with wide hips and generous breasts, but would also be rather chubby, were it not for her strict diet and exercise plans. As long as she sticks to those, she keeps a lean form that would be described as “hourglass”. She has very smooth and almost flawless skin, with very few scars or blemishes to show. She is very pale, though. She has breast implants, making her cup size an American F Cup, although when asked she will call them a G Cup, due to her nationality.
Personality: The best way to describe Kira's personality with one word would be “Confident”. Kira is a person of strong beliefs and she will not waver from her path no matter what anybody says. Despite her somewhat gray morals when it comes to her personal interests and preferences, Kira has a very strong sense of what she feels is right and wrong and will not stand by to see the weak and poor abused. Although her her somewhat vigilante form of justice has a slightly anti-hero sort of feel to it, she does not do what she does for her own benefit, but really does believe that she is working for the greater good.
Short Biography: Born and raised in Russia, Katerina Slutsky set off to a brighter future in Claychester the day she turned eighteen. She worked as a stripper by night to afford going to school during the day. In a desperate attempt to make the last bit of money for her tuition, she signed up for a medicinal trial of an experimental hormone treatment. The treatment's side effects included nausea, swelling and, in Kira's case, super powers. Having always been a believer of the greater good with a sense of utter helplessness, Kira almost immediately decided to use her powers to protect and serve her new home.
Powers, Skills & Equipment: Powers Pheromone Manipulation Kira possesses the ability to manipulate the pheromones that the human body excretes. Pheromones is most often linked to feelings such as desire or arousal, but they can also induce rage and violent behavior, make someone feel tired or sleepy or cause sickness and nausea. She can excrete pheromones that will make people want to stay away from a certain place or draw people to it. Skills WIP Equipment WIP

General Name: Hagane 鋼 (Steel), Haruka 遙 (Far Off/Distant)
Age: Eighteen (18)
Gender: Female ♀
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual/Straight
Personality: If you only just met Haruka, what you will see is a brash, loud, arrogant and somewhat rude person. Despite how she might appear, Haruka is a very insecure person. She is self-conscious about her looks, her powers and her brains. No matter how casually a remark may be said, she takes them to heart as critique. She gets easily hurt and easily angry, but calming her down is quite hard. Getting hurt is more common than getting angry and when her feelings are hurt, she will say nothing, but just draws into herself. Haruka does not do things halfway; if she gets angry, she will get murderous. If she gets sad, she will get depressed and when she is happy, she is ecstatic. Usually, she is quite happy.
The story of how Haruka came to be is not one of unconditional love and burning passion that many can tell of the day their parents met. Rather, it is a tale of a young woman in training as a chef and a charming shinobi passing through her home town for a mission. The young woman, Someina, was still a year away from leaving her teenage years behind her, but yet choose to keep the small bloom of life growing within her. Haruka was born in the early spring, just when the cherry blossoms had started to bloom and Someina, the mother, had wanted to name her daughter after the pink flowers. The moment she saw the soft, lavender tufts of hair on her newborn's head, she decided that the name was not quite right for her little one and proudly told her mother that she wanted to name her Haruka (春=haru=spring, 花=ka=flower). Her mother, the grandmother, misunderstood the name and wrote it as 遙 (far off/distant) instead and so Haruka's name came to mean something far different from what her mother had wanted.
Despite the very early mishap in her life, Haruka grew up to be a spirited child. She was always full of energy, but liked her sleep as well. She was a perfectly easy baby, although a bit slow at learning. When she was three, she started asking questions. Who was her father and where was he? Her mother, worried about telling her only child the truth of how she had been conceived, told the wide-eyed girl that her father had been a great and strong ninja and that she did not know where he was. Because of that, Haruka decided at a young age that she wanted to be a ninja, too, and her mother agreed for them to leave their small home town and move to one of the great villages, Konohagakure no Sato, for Haruka to attend the Academy there instead of the measly opportunities ninja had in their home.
Throughout her childhood, Haruka would ask her mother small questions that seemed harmless enough, but would later define the way Haruka thought of herself. One day, when she was seven, she asked her mother; “Mommy? Was daddy strong?” Her mother's reply had been with a warm smile as she said; “Like an ox, sweetie.” On another occasion, Haruka had asked her mother; “Did daddy use a weapon? Some of the kids say that their daddies use weapons!” Once Haruka had stopped ranting on about how they had only been allowed to play with lame little kunai, her mother had told her; “Your father had a huge sword!” She had barely been able to keep the blush off of her cheeks from the innuendo of it.
As Haruka grew older, she also grew stronger. Every day, she would train. Every day, she ran longer and longer, lifted heavier and heavier weights and got better and better at hand to hand fighting. She was easily the physically strongest in her class when the time for graduation came, but she still could do very little in regards of using techniques. She could barely manage to form a clone, her transformations were mediocre at best and her substitutions often wound up unpredictable. She did manage to pass, though, and proudly presented her headband to her mother. It brought tears to her eyes when her mother had given her a graduation present; a shiny and beautiful katana. It did not fit Haruka's style in the least, but it had a proud place on her wall as the very first item in her collection.
Haruka's teammates were both boys. One was a soft-spoken and sweet medic with an extensive knowledge on poisons and medicines by the name of Kenta while the other was a moody branch Hyuuga by the name Suzaku. Their sensei was a first-timer and was for the most part just nervous about everything, but went by the name Tora. For the first year of their genin time, they did not leave the village for their missions. They would spar every day; even on their days off, but it mattered very little. Despite both of her teammates' efforts to teach her how to mold and channel her chakra, she never really did manage to do it. She could mold it fine and Kenta told her that it was not the amount that was troubling her, but she just could not get the techniques to come out right. By the time they had been genin for two years, Haruka had only learned three techniques and relied almost solely on her close-combat skills and her teammates' help. It worked fine for them, with Haruka taking the role of the “tank”, gaining the attention of their foes and making sure that the “healer”, Kenta, could go unharmed while the “DPS”, Suzaku, tossed figurative fireballs from every angle at a distance.
Their team bond was good. Haruka had started crushing on Suzaku about three months after they became genin. Suzaku had bluntly informed her that he thought she was utterly unattractive with her big muscles, weird hair and missing tooth. Kenta had consoled her, telling her that she was beautiful in her own way. It took a year for Suzaku, after Haruka had started developing more feminine attributes, to agree with Kenta that Haruka was not ugly anymore. It took almost half a year after that before he agreed to go on a date with her. And just a month after that first date, they were officially an item.
The time came where the team was to take the chuunin exams and their sensei believed them to be ready for the task. They had not been. The results of the whole ordeal ended with Suzaku dead and Kenta retiring as a ninja, while Haruka was left with both physical and emotional scarring, but a fierce dedication to becoming even stronger, as well. Left without a genin team, Haruka went on a whole bunch of solo mission inside the village gates and most of her free time was spent either training like a madwoman or learning about medicines and poisons from Kenta, who now worked in his mother's herbal store. He taught her everything from which plants could be made into tea, to which plants could cause a slow and painful death as well as which plants could cure those poisons.
Soon, Haruka was placed in what they called a temporary team in order for her, as well as the others in her team, to take the chuunin exam again. All of them had either lost teammates or had them walk out of them and although Haruka did not bother to even try and form a real bond with them, Amaya and Noburo still became her friends. This time, Haruka was stronger, her teammates were stronger and the whole scene was different and they did manage to pass. In the final round, when Haruka had to fight some earth user one-on-one, the judges were impressed with her sheer strength as she smashed bounders with her bare hands and produced one weapon after another from scroll after scroll to toss at her enemy. Even though she ended up beaten and battered, with a broken arm and poison coursing through her veins, she did eventually manage to knee the guy in the nose hard enough to have him stay still after.
Haruka had thought that making chuunin would make her feel accomplished, but she still wanted to be more. She wanted to be stronger. She wanted to be better. She wanted to be a hero, like her dad. Her mother had, just like when she made genin, bought her a present. Apparently, she had bought it the first time Haruka had attempted the exam, but since she had not passed... well, she did not get a present. It was another sword. 判断は邪悪を降りかかる (Handan wa jaaku o furikakaru) was etched into the shiny steel of the blade and Haruka downright wept. She had the magnetic sheathe made the next day.
After a while, Haruka realized that she would never reach her full potential if she remained in the safety of her home. There were so many memories there and she felt like the weight of her past was crushing her. One early morning, she packed all of her weapon scrolls into a bag, hefted Seidou onto her back and the the village without a word. She has been traveling ever since.
Looks and Appearance:
Body Type and Shape: Although she makes people believe that her muscle does not take hours of daily training, this is actually not true. Haruka has a naturally endomorphic body type, which means that although gaining muscle is possible for her, it requires hard work for it to not become fat. Her body shape is mostly hourglass, due to the fact that she was blessed with wide hips and her shoulders have become broad with her muscles expanding.
Height: 5'0” - 152cm
Weight: 143 lbs - 65kg
Hair Color: Haruka's hair has an odd, purple color that would probably be described as “lavender”.
Hair Style: Haruka's hair is cut in three layers of length. The front, her bangs, are cut to just above her eyes. The sides, her “frames”, are cut to her shoulders. The back of her hair is mostly free-growing, but she does get it cut to her middle back once it reaches her bum.
Eye Color: Haruka's eyes are a deep, speaking gray color, much like that of steel. This color is common for members of the Hagane clan.
Scars and Marks: Haruka has several scars littering her body, with the most prominent and obvious one being a large, rather gross-looking scar on her left bicep where a branch penetrated the muscle during her first attempt at the Chuunin exams. She also has a large gash scar across the right side of her abdomen from the same occasion. Other than that, the rest of the scars are small and insignificant and one would barely even notice them being there, unless they already knew. Haruka lacks one of her front teeth, after a spar got a bit out of hand and her old teammate, Suzaku, ended up knocking it out.
Clothing: Haruka wears a crimson, tall-necked top with gray patches on the shoulders. Along with this, she wears high-cut gray jean shorts, that hold in the fat that clings to her sides and accentuates her waist. Her ninja boots are long, to just under the knees, and has a small amount of heel on them, as well as open toes. Her clothes cling tightly to her skin, both for easy movement and to try and show off the fact that her frame is feminine.
Birth Village: Although she was technically born outside the village, Haruka has always considered Konohagakure no Sato – The Village Hidden in the Leaves her home.
Current Village: None yet.
Rank: Chuunin
Ninja Status: Technically a Missing Nin
Nindo: To be strong, stronger, the strongest.
Chakra Element: Suiton – Water
Weapon(s):
”Seidou (正道)”
Haruka's trusty sword. “Her” name means, “The Path of Righteousness”. “Seidou” is stuck to her back in a magnetic sheath where the blade is “clicked” into place and held there by four small claws.
Ninja pouch
Haruka has her ninja pouch fastened to the back of her belt; right above her left butt-cheek. Within this ninja pouch, she carries with her a roll of bandages, a bottle of rubbing alcohol, a flash of water and a nutrition bar.
Weapon holster
Haruka carries her weapon holster on her left thigh. The holster has room for five kunai, five shuriken, ten makibishi and ten senbon, which she almost always has stocked to the max.
Scroll Number One: Dexterity Scroll
Haruka’s first and most used scroll is her so-called Dexterity Scroll with the weapons she uses for battles where her brute force just is not enough and some skill and speed is needed.
Hoyo & Kisu (抱擁) & (キス)
In her Dexterity Scroll, Haruka carries a pair of sai knives that she has affectionately and humorously named “Hoyo & Kisu” or “Hugs and Kisses” in English.
Shojo (処女)
As one of her favorites when it comes to being quick on her feet, Haruka likes to bring her very first weapon, Shojo (Virgin), with her even if she hardly ever gets to use it.
Scroll Number Two: No-Kill Scroll
Haruka’s second to most used scroll is her so-called No-Kill Scroll, which holds the weapons she uses for battles where her intention is to not kill her opponent, nor cause any real harm to them; bruises and maybe a few broken bones are all these are good for.
Chou (蝶)
These tonfa were purchased on her first trip out of her birthplace. The guy she bought them from claimed them to be antique, with her teammates stating that that meant “old and used”. She bought them anyways and named them “Cho (Butterflies)”.
Bogire (棒切れ)
With the quite literal name of ”Bogire (Stick)”, Haruka’s bo-staff usually is not the most original weapon. It is quite useful, though, and great for keeping foes at a distance.
Tsubasa (翼)
Although even Haruka has no idea how these weapons got to be named the way they are, these nunchakus were named “Tsubasa (Wings)” by her teammate, Suzaku, when he bought them for her. She really has no clue how to use them and is more likely to hurt herself than her enemy, but she keeps them with her, anyways.
Fighting Style: Close combat.
Strengths:
Physically strong
Stubborn
Weaknesses:
Clumsy.
Not very smart and quite naive.
Taijutsu: Haruka's main focus is on her Taijutsu, with her Chakra Enhanced Strength and Kenjutsu skills. Despite the fact that she is quite good at throwing a punch, she never bothered to name most of it and thinks of her so-called Taijutsu as more of a style than an actual technique.
Name: Chakra Enhanced Strength Classification Fighting Style Rank: A-rank Effect: Unlike the Chakra Enhanced Strength that Tsunade and Sakura use, Haruka's version of this ”technique” is not focused on chakra control in the same sense. The original version of this technique applied a layer of chakra around the extremities of the user in order to release it as an explosion-like punch or kick. Haruka's version of the technique functions in a way similar to opening the first of the Eight Chakra Gates and actually enhances her physical strength by pumping her chakra veins and thus her muscles full of chakra to such an extent that it seeps from her skin. Drawback: Very high chakra use as well as chances of severe chakra burns on both her skin and her chakra veins. Excessive use could render her chakra pathways useless.
Name: Shinpai no Hi (Judgement Day) Classification Kenjutsu Rank: C-rank Effect: Haruka uses her broadsword katana, “Seidou (Path of Righteousness)” in a series of slashing, brute force attacks, molding chakra to her feet to stay standing while she swings the sword, due to the weight in the force of her swings. Despite being “glued” to the ground, she still moves around. Drawback: The technique is physically straining, due to the weight of her sword, and takes constant concentration on her chakra flow to keep glued to the ground – if she does not, she will fall over.
Ninjutsu: Haruka knows very little Ninjutsu, as she has a hard time making her chakra answer to her will. The techniques she does know, is often somewhat messed up in execution, either because she uses too much chakra or because of her own insecurity. She knows some simple and basic Fuuinjutsu (Sealing Techniques) to seal her weapons inside scrolls for easy transport and a few simple Suiton (Water Release) techniques.

Personal Quote:
””
Will of Steel
Haruka's will of steel is something that is believed to be inherited by the Hagane blood that flows in her veins. She is stubborn like few and once she gets an idea into her head, she will not stop until her goal has been accomplished.
Not the Sharpest Tool in the Shed
Although Haruka will fly into uncontrollable, table-throwing and wall-demolishing, rage whenever someone informs her of this fact, she really is not the sharpest tool in the shed. Her brain works in mysterious ways and takes far longer to get to a conclusion than most; and most of the time her conclusions are wrong.
The Clumsy Swordsman
Despite the fact that she constantly trips over her own feet, branches or even pebbles, Haruka has chosen to wield a giant, two-hand broadsword as her main weapon. The will often fall over when swinging her sword, due to the sheer weight of it.
Chakra Beast
Despite the fact that Haruka's control of her chakra is far from great, she is not very likely to run out of it. She has copious amounts of chakra for her to use, mostly due to her excessive training in an attempt to perfect her chakra educed strength.
Chakra Enduced Strength
Haruka is obsessed with being physically strong and as so, she has gone as far as to make herself stronger by infusing her muscles with chakra. Due to this, her physical power is far beyond that of a regular human and she is capable of smashing boulders with her bare hands.
With Konoha to the south, the Hidden Sound to the east and the Hidden Waterfall to the west we have the small Hidden Village of the End, Gobigakure. What's that? Can't find it on a map? Don't know the name of the country? Well, that's part of the problem... The Village Hidden by the End is so small and insignificant that most other ninja villages doesn't recognize it as one. If it was on a map before, someone has erased it by now. In the entire history of the village it hasn't produced a single ninja worth mentioning. The village sits on the northern cliffs of its country, surrounded by huge rocks that shelters the village from the outside world. The village can only be clearly seen from the sea to the north, called the endless sea by locals. Thus its name, the Village Hidden by the End.
The village is not governed by a kage, like the other hidden villages, neither does it house its own ANBU-force. It started out as an outpost for the Hidden Cloud, and has always relied on its main village for leadership and protection. The village's only jounin, Hyuuga Hiroshi, acts as leader and is in charge of every ninja in the village. Hiroshi used to be a ninja from Konoha, but was thrown out after a family dispute went sour. He traveled around the world and found Gobigakure by accident and was elevated to the rank of leader almost over night. He has his work cut out for him. The village is very poor and lacks many of the commodities that people in the rest of the world take for granted. Missions are few and far between, most people take their business to the bigger villages. Not a single noble ninja family reside in the village, but a few of the older families have developed hijutsu. Bloodline limits are extremely rare, almost unheard of.
Short history
Shortly after the Village Hidden in the Clouds had formed the ninjas they started to look to the west, toward the Village Hidden in Stone. They feared an attack, and established an outpost on a conveniently placed mass of land. A nearby village provided entertainment for the troops and before long the first illegitimate child was born. It was followed by many others. The children with a talent for ninjutsu were trained by the Kumo ninjas that were stationed there, and during the first ninja war they helped keep their small patch of land safe. After the war the outpost was scrapped, but the village remained popular in the eyes of Kumo ninjas and with time ninjas from other villages as well. The climate and primitive lifestyle made the village a popular site for jounin to train their genin. And while they were there more than a few decided to visit the popular burlesque houses, both male and female “entertainers” were available to suit every taste. When the second ninja war came the village was left to its own devices, and took several hard hits. Much of the original village was destroyed, but a few talented doton-users from Kumo created a huge barricade around the village to shield it from harm. That barricade still stands and is the reason why the village is still hidden. After the second war people stopped caring about the small village. Its ninjas were nothing in comparison to the kind of talent that arose in the rest of the world and its geographical position was too out of the way for leisurely visits. Because of its remote position huge battles have been fought just outside the barricade between Iwa, Kumo and Konoha. Neither have taken the time to secure it first. The village has tried to reestablish communications with Kumo, but have been rejected every time.
Enter the Game
Characters
Welcome to the Village Hidden by the End, Gobigakure no Sato. You are one of the village's proud ninjas, a chuunin. You are one of the most powerful people in the village, even though it has been a while since you got to show it. Being a powerful ninja in Gobi, though, is still below average in the world outside. You are in need of some action and desperate for a proper mission to further your skills. Maybe you've lived here all of your life and have never seen the fast-paced world outside of the mountain walls; maybe you moved here to get away. Perhaps your parents left you here to keep you safe or maybe you were sold as a slave. No matter how it came to be, you are now a citizen of Gobigakure no Sato.
Players
What we want here is a mainly character focused roleplay with a small handful of dedicated players. Although our characters do start out fairly useless, we want some real progress in their power levels. Like in the real show. This is by no means a PvP roleplay and although there will be action, we want the main focus to be on character development and forming bonds and all that stuff that makes up a life. Although enemies will be introduced and dangers will be faced, the first portion of the game is all about getting the mood of the village right and getting a feel of our, and each others', characters.
Setting
The story takes place eight years after The Second Shinobi War and just a few years before The Third Shinobi War. That makes it about fifteen years before the start of the series.
Gobigakure no Sato, the Village Hidden by the End, is placed on the very edge of the world, facing the unending ocean to the north to one side and giant, cliff-like walls of stone to the south. The country of its location has no name, as far as the rest of the world is concerned and the villages have never thought to give it one outside of the name of their own village. Gobi no Kuni, Land of the End, as the locals call it, would not be recognized as the actual name of the land by any of the other countries. When the placement of the village is explained to others, most will go "Oh, that turd-shaped country?".
Gobigakure no Sato is placed on the utmost part of the "turd-shaped" country, overlooking the endless sea. The village is placed on a cliffside, with lush forest between the village itself and the man-spawned cliffs that shield them from the rest of the world.
The country in which Gobigakure no Sato lies, is mainly composed of mountainous terrain, with luscious forests, idyllic lakes and deep valleys. Most of the country is untouched by human hand and only few people has ever traveled across.
Village Entrance The most noticable thing about Gobigakure no Sato, might be the unique and quite difficult way to enter the village. Since the village is mostly shielded by large, cliff-like rocks and deep valleys created by Doton-users as a means of protection, the villages were basically caught in their own little world. Traveling around the cliffs proved much too difficult and crossing the valleys were no easier. As such, the villagers decided to dig a tunnel that went directly from the basement of their Administration building, to the outside of the outmost of the cliffs. The tunnel is as long as a days worth of travel and makes for an easy and safe entrance and exit for the villagers.
Administration Building Information will be added here.
Ninja Academy The Ninja Academy in Gobigakure no Sato is nothing special, to say the least. It is an old, abandoned warehouse with no actual classrooms or teachers. Hyuuga Hiroshi, the village's leader, serves as the only real instructor and teaches all students at the academy. Due to the small amount of ninja that are actually bred in Gobigakure, he teaches courses more than he teaches classes. There are five different "grades" taught at the academy, labled as "Beginner Class", which he teaches on Mondays; this class is an introduction to the basics of how ninja and their chakra works, "Chakra Control", which is taught on Tuesdays and is a mix of all grades and ages of students as all are welcome to come and train with him, "Basic Techniques", taught on Wednesdays, where he teaches, well, basic techniques - E-rank only - where everyone is welcome, as well and "Hand-to-Hand Combat", where he teaches students how to use their bodies in actual, physical fist-fight. On Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, only the best and most promising of the students receive training, from instructors directly appointed to them by Hiroshi.
Red Lantern District As a Village of 'Relaxation,' Gobigakure's brothels have an integral part in the economy of the Village. The Red Walk, as many call it, is a mile long road of brothels on either side. These brothels cater to every sort of deviancy. Numerous alley-ways abound where women not bound to a brothel might ply their trade, but these women are a dangerous sort...cheaper and more prone to disease than those found in the brothels. Every building in this Red Lantern District is for the making of money through the flesh trade. Save for one..
Casino – The Golden Goose The Golden Goose is obviously not the only casino in this entertainment-minded village, but it is the only one driven by the village itself, rather than privately owned. It is also the biggest and safest one, if you do not want to be tricked by the dealers.
The Black Market Although the Black Market is not an official part of the village, it is still obviously there. The village leaders do nothing about it, for the simple reason that it makes a lot of money for the village. It has no actual placement, but trades are made everywhere in the village. Most Gobigakure inhabitants consider the “poor” part of the village as The Black Market.
The Harbor Export is the main income of Gobigakure and as such, their harbor is the easiest way to move lots of wares. Gobigakure exports lots and lots of alcohol, has some of the best pigs in the world and export both wood and stone for building.
The Savory Lane The Savory Lane is a long street where most of the restaurants and bars of Gobigakure are placed. The variety of smells that invade your nose as you walk down this lane is pure torture, if you do not have the money for the food.
Mountain Bridge The Mountain Bridge is quite simply a bridge between two mountains.
More might be added here.
Character Creation
When making your own jutsu, there are several things to take into consideration that you usually do not have to think about when just copy/pasting from Narutopedia or something of the like. A custom made jutsu should be balanced; the amount of chakra, concentration and/or physical strain of the technique should match the effect of the outcome. You will also need to think about things like chakra nature of the jutsu (Jutsu Nature), the rank of the technique and classification (ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu ect.). You can read more about those things below.
What is jutsu nature? Well, it is the chakra nature that is needed to preform a certain technique. A fire release technique will require a user with fire nature chakra and a earth release technique will require a user with earth nature. An element-based technique is as such called an Element Release. When making your custom techniques, you will need to keep this in mind. Now, the main chakra natures are Katon (Fire), Fuuton (Wind), Raiton (Lightning), Douton (Earth) and Suiton (Water). Kekkei Genkai are about to mix and match these chakras to make new elements, such as Wind and Water making Ice.
What do I mean by “classifications”? I mean, which category of jutsu does your specific technique fit? There are many categories to take into consideration when making your own techniques. First of all, you need to think of whether the technique is ninjutsu, taijutsu or genjutsu. These are the three main classifications. Ninjutsu is offensive or defensive techniques that require chakra use, has a physical outcome and is out of the spectrum of what regular humans can actually do. Taijutsu is hand-to-hand combat or any type of physical combat that does not require the use of chakra, but rather raw stamina, strength and/or speed. Genjutsu are illusionary techniques that does not have any actual physical outcome, but makes things seem different from what they actually are. These three classifications are already divided on the sheet, but there is a classification point on the Jutsu Sheet anyways, because there are more classifications than the main three. All other classifications are still part of one of the main three, but they also have a “second title” and/or“third title”, so to speak. A technique can have multiple classifications, but it does not necessarily have more than one. Hiden Jutsu (Secret/Family Techniques) Kinjutsu (Forbidden Techniques) Doujutsu (Eye Techniques) Kenjutsu (Sword Techniques) Bukijutsu (Weapon Techniques) Kekkaijutsu (Barrier Techniques) Bunshinjutsu (Clone Techniques) Fuuinjutsu (Sealing Techniques) Iryoujutsu (Medical Techniques) Senjutsu (Sage Techniques) Kekkei Genkai (Bloodline Limit)
It can sometimes be hard to tell what rank a technique is and when in doubt you can always ask, but try and see if you cannot figure it out on your own, first.
E-rank: E-rank techniques are weak, to say the least. They are academy student level and are required for a student to even pass the academy. If you were to make an E-rank technique of your own, for whatever reason, it should have very little chakra cost and very little effect. The effect should not be offensive or in any way able to do physical harm. Examples; Bunshin no Jutsu (Clone Technique), Henge no Jutsu (Transformation Technique).
D-rank: D-rank techniques are weak. They are genin level and are expected of a genin. If you make a D-rank technique of your own, it should have low chakra cost, low concentration and low effects. The effect can be offensive, defensive or illusionary. Many D-rank techniques seem to be extensions of the already learned E-rank techniques, so the genin can get comfortable with using stronger techniques before they are actually required to. I.e Shikyaku no Jutsu (Four Legs Technique) is an extension of Henge no Jutsu (Transformation Technique) as the user will use the same basics as in a transformation, but instead of copying the appearance of another, they take the shape of a more beastly self. Examples; Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique), Kirigakure no Jutsu (Hidden Mist Technique).
C-rank: C-rank techniques are average or medium. They are genin to chuunin level and are required for a genin to become a chuunin. The C-rank techniques are where chakra nature, bloodline limits and secret/family techniques come into the picture. When making your own C-rank techniques, you need to start thinking about the balance between effort and effect. Examples;
B-rank: B-rank techniques are strong. They are chuunin to jounin level and are required for a chuunin to become jounin. B-rank techniques have high costs, requires massive amounts of chakra and serious concentration. They do not necessarily have a high drawback, but the risk is certainly greater than with a C-rank technique. Examples; Shikon no Jutsu (Dead Soul technique), Doton: Doryuuheki (Earth Release: Earth Wall).
A-rank: Most A-rank techniques are forbidden, due to the fact that they pose a risk to the user. They are required for a jounin to rise past the norm and stand out enough to be appointed a kage. The cost and/or drawback of an A-rank technique should be higher than the effect/outcome. Examples; Chidori (One Thousand Birds), Rasengan (Spiraling Sphere).
S-rank: S-rank techniques are all forbidden and have both extreme costs and effects. They are usually specific to a single user. Examples; Sousou Saisei (Creation Rebirth), Hiraishin no Jutsu (Flying Thunder God Technique).
A Kekkei Genkai, Bloodline Limit, Blood Inheritance or whatever you want to call it (I will usually call it a KG) is a technique that is limited by blood and usually are held within a single clan. A KG is most commonly the ability to mix and match two different chakra natures into making a new one, like Wind and Water making Ice or the ability to manipulate ones body in a way that one would normally not be able to, like bones growing excessively or becoming liquid form. All known Doujutsu (Eye Techniques) are KG.
For some reason Hiden, Hijutsu, Secret Jutsu or Family Jutsu (which is all different names for the same thing) are often confused for KGs. I get how this might be hard to understand, but it's really simple once you have it explained properly; KG are carried in the blood while Hiden are taught by specific families. This means that anyone can technically do a Hiden, as long as they are taught how by someone who knows it already, unlike a KG, where it has to be in your blood. Hiden cannot be copied by simple means of observation, because they are unlike other techniques in some way or another, that causes them to require training from someone who already knows it. You may be able to somewhat replicate the gist of it (such as in the case of the Hyuuga Juuken or the Inuzuka ninken), but the technique will likely not be the same. The Sharingan should, theoretically, be able to copy a Hiden.
