Let's do something [i]fun[/i]!" Niko has been described as nothing but id. Niko is a ball of chaotic energy, lacking almost any sort of empathy or maturity, while being obsessed with fighting and sealing, which Niko finds "Super Fun~!". She will kill someone mercilessly while smiling and asking them how much fun they're having. In a way, she doesn't understand what she's doing any more. Niko's motivations were once to take revenge on the Ninja villages for the fall of Uzushio, and while this drive is long gone, it still expresses itself as a desire to fight. Although Niko can find enjoyment in almost everything, fighting powerful Ninja from hidden villages is her favourite pastime. In keeping with this, Niko tends not to be one to take sides, instead running with whomever she thinks will put her in the best position to have fun. Moreover, due to a complex seal of her own creation, Niko cannot feel any form of negative emotion - including boredom. For Niko, something is either fun, or it isn't, and she's fine with that. Anger, guilt, sadness and pain are foreign concepts to her. An injury is a pleasant tingling. The death of a friend is the enemy being a 'really fun opponent'. An opponent fighting unfairly means that she simply needs to up her own game. That said, if it's proven to her that she's misunderstood the 'rules' of a 'game' (read: motivations of a fight or surrounding situations), she will gladly change tack and fight alongside someone else. This is exemplified by Konoha. To Niko's twisted perception, Konoha was playing a game, and betrayed Uzu by failing to assist them. As such, it's 'most fun' to fight Leaf nin. If it were properly explained to her in terms she understood, Niko could easily be swayed to help the Leaf, since the other villages had 'cheated'. Niko views everyone as a friend; as someone she can play with. That said, people she trusts, or believes will always be on her side are her 'bestest friends!', and attempts to turn her against them aren't liable to go well.[/color][/indent][/indent][/indent] [color=slategray] ✖ ‖[/color] L i k e s [indent][indent][indent][color=MistyRose][color=slategray]✖[/color] - Fighting [color=slategray]✖[/color] - Sour food [color=slategray]✖[/color] - Inventing Seals [color=slategray]✖[/color] - Being sociable [color=slategray]✖[/color] - Basically everything else[/color][/indent][/indent][/indent] [color=slategray] ✖ ‖[/color] D i s l i k e s [indent][indent][indent][color=MistyRose][color=slategray]✖[/color] - "Dislike?

Born to a small branch of the Uzumaki clan, Niko found himself gifted with a brilliant mind and an innate talent for seals. As such, as time went on, he found himself growing into an extremely competent Ninja, with a deep respect for his teachers and peers and a consuming love of his village. Indeed, by the time he had reached Chuunin rank, he had dedicated himself almost entirely to his art. In this way, he found himself becoming a powerful and well-respected shinobi, enjoying an important position in the village hierarchy, and a close relationship with the Village's allies in the leaf. Indeed, many of his more mundane missions involved assisting the Leaf with matters of defense and sealwork. By the time he was twenty, he had an adoring fiancé, a glowing reputation, and was seriously under consideration as the next Uzukage. It was a shame, then, that the rest of the world decided it was a wonderful moment to go to war. In the space of a day, Niko's life had collapsed around him. His betrothed had vanished in the flames, his comrades were being massacred around him, his life's work was at risk of burning before his eyes, and even as he scythed through enemy Ninja until his hands were soaked in blood, he found himself powerless to stop the slaughter. As the village burned, he scrambled to gather as many of its Sealing relics and scrolls as he could, before fleeing into the night. He drifted for a time, mind empty, in the face of all that he had lost. He sought someone to blame, and, unable to blame himself, he turned to the Villages. Stone and Mist, who had attacked the Whirlpool without mercy. Sand, Rain and others, which had stood by and watched. But more importantly, their so-called allies in Konoha; the traitors who had failed to save his Fiancé, and doomed his beloved village to destruction. Thus, he dedicated himself to the utter destruction of the Shinobi world, tearing across the continent in a blind rage. He became known, for a time, as a ghost of Uzu, renowned for his unyielding assault on foreign Ninja, and in particular his vicious hatred of Leaf nin. He was violent, brutal, and, perhaps most importantly, reckless. His fighting style began to take its toll on his body, and he resorted to sealing to keep himself alive; first with simple life-support arrays, and later, as his organs began to fail, a seal which stole parts or the whole of an injured opponent's body when the correct base seals had been applied. It had to come to a head, eventually. How ironic that this came abut when, in a rage, he beheaded and stole the body of his old fiancee, who had joined the Leaf after escaping the Whirlpool. After years of fighting, the guilt, and pain, and anger had become too much for Niko to bear. In a fit of insanity, he crafted a roughshod seal designed to eliminate those emotions that were holding him back. It was intended to allow him to continue his crusade without inhibition. Unfortunately, his talent proved to be his downfall. The seal was too effective. Instead of inhibiting guilt and anger's effects on his determination, applying it to his forehead effectively lobotomized him, removing any and all negative emotions, perceptions and sensations. Pain, anger, disappointment, sadness, guilt, even boredom were wiped from his consciousness; locked behind a tattoo of blood and ink. In that instant, Niko Uzumaki, avenger of the Whirlpool, died, and was replaced by an agent of chaos and self-gratification. From then on, driven solely by desire, and almost impossible to reason with, they began a decades-long journey across the Elemental Nations, garnering a reputation as a dangerous and unpredictable renegade; an individual who would pop up at a food stall and make idle conversation with a Ninja before dueling them to the death, laughing all the while. Their form varied wildly, from male to female, short to tall, but Niko remained identifiable by her crop of bright red hair, the distinctive lattice of seal tattoos that adorned her skin, and the mishmash of different skin tones and body parts that made up her form. One thing is certain: as long as Crazy Niko is in the area, no one is safe.

Further, Niko utilizes a number of basic seals with simple elemental effects, which, at a higher chakra cost, can be used to create new effects on the fly. A large portion of Niko's seal tattoos are simply extensions of the emotion seal, which, as a by-product, has stored a compromised copy of the original Niko's mind. This allows the exertion of a dominant mind and personality, although it is continuously being diluted. [hider=Water Jutsu] Splishy Splash Move!: Niko draws a large quantity of water and casts it at an opponent at high pressures, inflicting serious blunt-force trauma on impact. When ramped up to full, it also makes for an effective cutter. Blood Swirly!: Niko manipulates the water content of blood to harden and shape it, allowing for an effective fallback weapon. Wavy Nikos!: Niko's name for the Water clone. [/hider] [hider=Wind Jutsu] Gusty Slashing Attack!: Chakra is channelled through seals on Niko's arms which project compressed chakrams of air at a target. Big Jumpy Swirly!: A simple seal which converts chakra into jets of air to adjust and aid movement in the air and on the ground. Tattooed onto various spots across her body. Super Shredding Move!: Niko projects a concentrated barrier of razor-sharp vortices of air and attempts to smother the opponent with it. Upon successful contact, it can render a target into dust and slurry in well under ten seconds. [/hider] [hider=Special Sealing Jutsu] Special Swirly; Magic Lake!: A vast network of seal matrices running across Niko's body that stores excess chakra. Acts both as a reserve to avoid exhaustion and a vent for when her body-snatches take on too much chakra. Must be vented, at danger of explosion when overloaded. Special Swirly; Super Boosty Trick!: A lattice of seals which store wasted energy from physical impacts and allow it to be channelled as a burst of kinetic energy through the arm or leg. Niko can also ink a receptor seal onto a target and transfer energy via contact. A simple hand seal will allow a near-instant release of the stored momentum, causing effects from course diversion to broken bones Special Swirly; Super Vanishing Trick!: By inking a matrix onto the ground beneath her feet, Niko can seal herself into the ground for a period of roughly a minute, and travel through it at roughly walking pace. Taken initially from the idea of the headhunter Jutsu, this differs in that nothing short of purging the earth of chakra will disrupt the seal. She uses this primarily for escape and sneak attacks, as it is chakra intensive and is rather visible upon re-emergence. Special Swirly; Super Big Bang!: A modified explosive seal which runs across her body. When activated, it looses a large explosion from her palms. Special Swirly; Big Heavy Move!: A sealing tag which, when applied, multiplies the effect of gravity on an area of a person's body by anywhere from one and a half to three times normal. Special Swirly; Super Heavy Move!: A seal which, when carved and inked onto an opponent, multiplies the effect of gravity on their entire body by up to five times normal. Takes time to apply. Special Swirly; Freezy Time!: A part-manipulation, part spacetime seal, applied to the ground, that halts the flow of chakra in a persons body and effectively timelocks it on contact with the matrix. It is large, unwieldy, and tricky to set up, but can entirely immobilise an opponenent, and runs the risk of tearing them apart if they try to move too hard. Special Swirly; Chakra Yoink!: A seal which, when applied to a target, allows the draining and storage of their chakra in Niko's own tattoos for later use. Special Swirly; Ouchie Yoink!: A seal which, when applied to an injured area or organ of a person's body, allows Niko to absorb it into her own, storing the previous body part as additional chakra and replacing it with the new one, fully whole and restored. She has, notably, done this with heads and brains, which has seriously impaired her sense of self, despite the copy of her mind stored in her seal lattices. Difficult to use, as it must be applied to the body by Niko's special brush. Super Special Swirly; Big Ouchie Yoink!: One of Niko's most dangerous seals, which, when properly applied before death allows her to steal and absorb the body of a defeated enemy, more or less fully revitalizing herself and providing new ideas for seals based on their talents. It functions by storing and converting sub-optimal parts of her body into chakra and literally replacing them outright with the new. This also impacts Niko's mind, introducing new impulses and desires which contend with the core personality. [/hider] [hider=Copycat Seals] These are seals Niko has conceived based on the traits of bodies she's invaded. Spinny Eye Swirly!: An idea taken from stealing the head of an Uchiha which allows her right eye to mimic a much-reduced Sharingan, providing a somewhat enhanced perception of time, and limited modelling of combat. Functions by absorbing, moulding and then releasing chakra in a spiral pattern directly through the optic nerve. Shiny Eye Swirly!: After stealing a Hyuuga's left Byakugan, Niko developed a seal, tattooed directly onto the cornea, which grants her some sensing abilities upon activation. Functions by the projection of seal-converted chakra in thin beams that strobe across the environment. [/hider][/color][/indent][/indent][/indent] [color=slategray] ✖ ‖[/color] W e a p o n s A n d T o o l s [indent][indent][indent][color=MistyRose]Niko's Special Swirly Brush!: A large, collapsible sealing brush equipped with small, hollow needles on its handle, which retract and extend with a pulse of chakra. These needles extract Niko's blood for mixing with her sealing ink, which is stored in a reinforced compartment on the brush. Its long bristles, when inked, can compress and harden into a short blade, transforming the brush into a kind of short polearm. In this way, Niko can make detailed sealing inscriptions on the body of an opponent on the fly. Overall, a highly specialised and uniquely versatile tool.[/color][/indent][/indent][/indent] [color=slategray] ✖ ‖[/color] F i g h t i n g S t y l e [indent][indent][indent][color=MistyRose]Niko is a chaotic element on the battlefield, making what she perceives as fun banter with opponents while charging wildly and throwing seals and Jutsu out with alarming speed.
