Finally finished my character. Somehow went from leisurely cat user to an internally self-loathing Aburame girl, because I'm just that fickle. May still do cat gal later, but they'll probably be a chunin or genin. [hider=Chika Aburame] [center][h1]Chika Aburame[/h1][/center] [center]Jonin[/center] [hr] [center][img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/416000810577559574/560556557209698304/naruto_oc__aburame_clan_member_by_mhhkiwii_d6t10q8-pre.png[/img][/center] [hr] [center][url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfnMvo87fQU]Waving Through a Window[/url][/center] Alias - None yet Age - 25 Gender - Female Sexual Orientation - Demisexual, Heteroromantic [hr] Occupation - Insect Keeper, Konohagakure Shinobi Personality - Stern, honourable and dutiful, Chika is - at least externally - the perfect example of what a shinobi should be. Be it her commendable self-control and well-disciplined habits and behaviour or her remarkable temperance and tranquil - if not a bit too quiet - social bearing, everything about the young female pretty much screams competency - thus making her quite the exemplary individual even amongst the well trained Shinobi of the leaf. Naturally, though, such a perfect individual couldn't possibly exist. In the end, even though all the education she has been receiving since her childhood did make this facade as natural as breathing, it can't completely erase Chika's essence. By the end of the day, the so-called perfect Shinobi is nought but a young adult who has even more insecurities than others around her age, being terribly burdened by the image she was guided into developing, and a deeply hidden parental complex loaded with self-loathing stemming from a deep belief that no one is interested in the person she really is, and thus it is better to just keep her act. Even if she does act like it in a consistent basis, Chika ultimately is far from being as much of a tranquil individual as others expect her to be, secretly having a much softer heart and a hidden curiosity and longing for adventure that befits her age. Naturally, even her constant nonchalance and calm bearing similarly hide a warmer - perhaps even fiery - temperament under them, though this part in specific is somehow unknown even for the relatively self-aware Chika, who seemingly got so used to repress her emotions that she actually forgot how to properly express them. Family Name - Aburame Family Bloodline Trait - N/A Village - Konohagakure Background - Born in one of Konoha's four noble clans as the daughter of the clan head, everything about Chika's life was planned even before she was conceived. From the insects that she would bond it, the techniques she would learn and the education she would receive to the specific age she should have when graduating from the academy, becoming a chunin and etc, everything about her was carefully planned by her father to the most minuscle details based on the premise of making her the best shinobi he could. Be it being trained in the clan's arts from a young age or receiving specialized training meant to fix all of the behavioural issues she could come to develop, not even a single aspect of her education was ignored from the moment she began to talk to the moment she first went to the academy - with the only thing that was never accounted in this scheduling being giving the young girl enough free time to be anything but a shinobi. Even when she finally received partial freedom once she properly entered the ranks of the leaf shinobi force, the one thing that took her away from the constant "care" of her parents, the expectations invested onto Chika were more than enough to drive her towards the path predetermined for her, forcing her to put all of her effort into being better than her peers in a constant drive to be good enough to satisfact the unrealistic expectations of her demanding parents. It was only by age 25 that, in a moment that happened more abruptly than what she could ever expect, Chika surprisingly succeeded at following the goals designed for her and achieved the position of a jonin of the hidden leaf at the relatively young age of 25 with exemplary result in all fields, going as far as actually receiving an invitation to join the Anbu force - one that was ultimately refused due to not complying with the path that she desperately tried to follow - before her promotion was even officialized. Unfortunately for Chika, though, what came after the sense of realization born from successfully achieving an elite position at a young age was, unsurprisingly, emptiness. Faced with the sudden lack of a goal, all that remained to the young jonin was a vain attempt of keeping the perfect historic she developed for herself, going in missions that didn't mean anything and quietly waiting till more assignments were directed to her... That is, until the war started. Finally faced with a real threat, it didn't take long for the village to enter a state of emergency, once more giving some semblance of purpose to the lost jonin, even if not quite the one that her parents expected her to have. [hr] Equipment - A remarkably huge gourd used to store and breed extra insects, Kunai, Shuriken and explosive tags. Clothing - Chika's usual attire consists of a short, one open leg green qipao worn under a similarly coloured light-armoured overcoat with a single long sleeve as well as the usual shinobi open boots worn over socks. As if to minimize skin exposition even more, Chika further covers her arms and legs with bandages and constantly wears an oversized scarf around her neck and lower face. Naturally, she also continuously wears round sunglasses like most of her clan. Personal Items - Her round lens sunglasses, inherited from her father Chakra Nature - Water Hiden - Parasitic Destruction Insect Technique [hr] [hider=Jutsus] [hr] Name - Parasitic Destruction Insect Technique Data: Classification - Hiden, Ninjutsu, Fighting Style Nature - N/A Class - Offensive, Defensive, Supplementary Range - All Ranges Hand Seals - N/A Effect - Like every Aburame clansmen, Chika was a receiver of the Parasitic Destruction Insect Technique right after her birth, receiving thousands of insects in her body and developing a symbiotic relationship with them from that moment onwards. Due to it, as long as she feeds them with her chakra the insects living inside her body follow her every command, assuming the role of her main “tool” as well as the catalyzer of most of her techniques. In Chika’s case, the insects contained within her body are a mix of Kikaichū and Kidaichū. Type - [hr] Name - Summoning Technique Data: Classification - Ninjutsu, Space-Time Ninjutsu Nature - N/A Class - Offensive, Defensive, Supplementary Range - N/A Hand Seals - Boar → Dog → Bird → Monkey → Ram Effect - Much like any other Aburame, Chika is capable of using the summoning technique to invoke more of the insect breed by herself should the ones contained in her body prove to be too few for the mission ahead of her. [hr] Name - Insect Clone Technique Data: Classification - Hiden, Ninjutsu, Clone Technique Nature - N/A Class - Supplementary Range - N/A Hand Seals - N/A Effect - A secret technique exclusive to the Aburame clan, where thousands of kikaichū are gathered in one place to take on the appearance of the user or anyone else the user wishes. The technique is elaborate enough to be mistaken for the original, and therefore may be used as a decoy or as part of a diversionary tactic. Furthermore, since one can put the insects in standby somewhere beforehand and then have them assume the form of the clone, this technique is arguably even more effective than the Shadow Clone Technique, depending on the task. When struck, the clone falls apart into its component, bugs. It can be risky for the foe to go into close combat with an insect clone since the kikaichū can drain their chakra on contact. Also, because it's made of bugs, it can reform almost instantly. Type - [hr] Name - Insect Jamming Technique Data: Classification - Hiden, Ninjutsu Nature - N/A Class - Supplementary Range - Long-range Hand Seals - N/A Effect - The user has a large amount of their kikaichū spread out over a wide area around themselves, having them emit a small amount of the chakra they usually feed on to confuse sensor-type shinobi. As the insects' irregular distribution and grouping together result in the creation of numerous chakra signals, it makes it more difficult to distinguish the user's actual location. Type - [hr] Name - Secret Technique: Insect Cocoon Data: Classification - Hiden, Ninjutsu Nature - N/A Class - Supplementary Range - Self Hand Seals - Ox → Dog → Bird → Ram Effect - This unique technique allows the user to accelerate the growth of their insects. As the user's body is already a hive of sorts for the insects, the user will encase themselves in an actual cocoon to further aid the insects. This is an extremely useful move for Aburame clan members, since their attacks mainly focus on the usage of insects. However, using this in the midst of a battle can be potentially dangerous as it leaves the user static and vulnerable. As such when this technique is being employed, the user generally finds a safe location or otherwise can be guarded by their teammate. Type - [hr] Name - Secret Technique: Insect Gathering Data: Classification - Hiden, Ninjutsu Nature - N/A Class - Supplementary Range - Short-range Hand Seals - Ram Effect - By simply touching a surface with their palm and fingers, the user releases a small web of chakra that draws bugs to that location. Since the Aburame member can communicate with insects, it can be useful to gain information by gathering local insects. Type - [hr] Name - Secret Technique: Insect Tracking Data: Classification - Hiden, Ninjutsu Nature - N/A Class - Supplementary Range - Short-range Hand Seals - N/A Effect - While making physical contact with the target, the user plants a small gathering of kikaichū into the target's skin and subsequently forces them to hibernate to both avoid consuming extra chakra and make detection infinitely harder. From there on, the user can use the chakra detecting properties of other insects to detect those dormant insects no matter how far away they are. Type - [hr] Name - Secret Technique: Insect Sphere Data: Classification - Hiden, Ninjutsu, Chakra Absorption Technique Nature - N/A Class - Offensive Range - All Ranges Hand Seals - N/A Effect - The user sends their kikaichū to spread over a wide range, and the moment they locate the target, the insects gather at once, forming a sphere around the target. They then attach themselves to the target and begin eating away at their chakra. Even if the target manages to escape, the insects will immediately follow. Type - [hr] Name - Secret Technique: Insect Tornado Data: Classification - Hiden, Ninjutsu, Chakra Absorption Technique Nature - N/A Class - Offensive Range - All Ranges Hand Seals - N/A Effect - This technique covers the enemy's entire body with the kikaichū living inside the Aburame clan member's body. The chakra-sensing kikaichū spread over a wide range, and the moment they locate the enemy, the insects, following the user's orders, gather at once completely surrounding the target creating a fast-moving tornado that will seemingly completely consume the target. Type - [hr] Name - Parasitic Giant Insect: Bug Bite Data: Classification - Hiden, Ninjutsu, Chakra Absorption Technique Nature - N/A Class - Offensive Range - Short Range Hand Seals - N/A Effect - Following an Aburame clan member placing a number of kidaichū onto the skin of an enemy, these insects immediately burrow into the victim's body and begin to devour its flesh and chakra. This process causes the insects to grow rapidly in size until the host body is completely eaten away from the inside out. Type - [hr] Name - Parasitic Giant Insect: Delayed Bug Bite Data: Classification - Hiden, Ninjutsu, Chakra Absorption Technique Nature - N/A Class - Offensive Range - Short Range Hand Seals - Ram (For triggering) Effect - Following an Aburame clan member placing a number of kidaichū onto the skin of an enemy, the user immediately forces their insects into hibernating until needed. This process causes the insects instability to pretty much vanish for a while until the user awakens them, moment when they'll immediately begin to devour the target's flesh and chakra. After applied, the insects can only stay alive for at most 10 days before they die of denutrition.
