[h3][sub][b][u]Naruto Shippuden : Rise of a Waking World[/u][/b][/sub][/h3] [img] https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/716468678132105220/747920033014874203/image0.jpg[/img] [sub][i][color=silver]”We are going to make things better. If you join us, together we will make our dreams a reality.” [/color][/i][/sub] Among the nations of today’s shinobi world, a potential threat has begun to emerge, an organization very slowly, but very steadily coming into the light. They are known as The Karasu. They are made up of rogue shinobi from various nations, very little is known about them, and it is not confirmed if Mizo Aberashi is in fact their leader. That conspiracy is attributed to the fact that she is known for being the most “active” member of the Karasu. They rarely engage in criminal acts, but when they do, they are alarmingly successful. Their crimes typically include high levels of larceny and attacks on very specific individuals. The most curious detail about Karasu is that, unless it is their exact goal, murder is never committed. If the Karasu are after money, they never harm anyone, instead knocking them unconscious or putting them under genjutsu. Rumors are beginning to circulate among the higher ups of Konoha’s shinobi that the Karasu are becoming more active. Whether that is true or not, is yet to be discovered. Interestingly enough, the Karasu are not unpopular, despite being enigmatic. Traveling the roads of the Lands of Fire and Lightning, one often hears talk of the Karasu and encounters with their members, often saying things like “I’ve never heard of that place,” or “I owe them my life.” Though they are rogue ninjas, and national criminals, the citizens of the nations have a habit of painting them as honorable thieves. Of course, they’re not afraid to share any crimes they’ve witnessed with ninja forces, but a handful of people scattered across the land, such as farmers or shopkeepers, don’t mind the existence of the Karasu. Across multiple shinobi villages, there have been the occasional report of ninjas and civilians simply disappearing without a trace. There are never very many, only one or two a year, but there is never any evidence other than the absence of the victim. The Kages do their absolute damndest to keep their villages from finding out about the Karasu, but the slightest rumors have begun to creep up in the villages as a result of missions out into the lands. Most think little of it, but the Kages, and their advisors are all too aware of the Karasu’s existence. Under normal circumstances, this organization would only be branded as successful thieves, but it is the nature of their rap sheets that separate them from Bandits. Reputable Kekkei Genkai shinobi going missing without a trace, nobles being robbed of their gold, and extra samurai patrolling the borders into the Land of Iron are not coincidental. Perhaps there is unrest growing in the shinobi world, or perhaps there is something deeper going on that the entire shinobi world isn’t ready to understand. Who are the Karasu? [color=silver][sub]”Leave this place behind. All the pain can be washed away, we will take you to a land where the past is meaningless. We will make a new future together. Join me.”[/sub][/color] This is a Naruto AU set in the time of Shippuden, when Tsunade was the Hokage. All other events such as the war and the Infinite Tsukoyomi are irrelevant to the plot. It will be the same time but more like a parallel universe. The story will revolve around rumors of the Karasu spreading as they become more prevalent, as time passes, nearly everyone will be made aware of their existence, and there may very well come a time when you come face to face with their elusive members. The characters you play as will influence the course of the story. Your character may come into contact directly with the Karasu behind the back of your village, for example. Have fun! [b][u]Rules[/u][/b] 1) Be nice. Simple enough. 2) I will allow multiple characters, I’d recommend a max of two. 3) Your characters can have Kekkei Genkai, or Dojutsu as long as it’s reasonable. I’m 99.99% against having any jinchurki characters, but if anyone tries to make a character like that, I’ll allow it but go very hard on judging it. To touch on that, no Uchihas, they’re dead. 4) If you want to make a character who is in the Karasu, PM your sheet to me, and we can talk more there. [b]!!![/b] Karasu Read This : If your character is in the Karasu, they’re a rogue ninja, so some things will be known about them. For example, Mizo is one of the most well known because she’s been seen the most, they know she’s from Konoha, is an earth style user, and such. We will work on what is known about yours. 5) Settle big arguments somewhere other than my thread, please. [hider=Karasu Information] [sub]Any information on the recently linked organization that has or is yet to be discovered is listed here. Any shinobi involved in investigating them will be kept up to date on this. Very will ever see this information in the Village Hidden in The Leaves, or anywhere else. This applies to both IC and OOC. [/sub] The Karasu’s plan is to travel to a far away land, unheard of by even the people of the Land of Dragons. It is so far to the west that Mizo Aberashi herself is the only one alive that has ever laid eyes upon it. She refers to it as The Land of The Sun. The Karasu want to make their own nation in the enigmatic land, and take everyone they can with them. They do not force anyone to go, rather, they convince them of the good their idea brings. Why revolutionize the shining world in the five great nations, when you can simply start your own and run it yourself? The Karasu will lead their followers to the Land of Sun, and never return. They will all make an impact on the course of this new nation’s history, as it is a clean slate. Any shinobi who wants to bring the tradition of Shinobi Kumite and the Unison Sign is welcome. It will be a world full of potential, waiting to be solidified into a reality. Nobody knows about this plan, at least not yet. It will likely become common information when enough time passes. I intend to make an actual CS for Mizo, since it’s not very friendly to hide a character from others, especially when I’ve mentioned her this much. MEMBERS MIZO ABERASHI Hidden Leaf Jonin Rogue Ninja JUTSU Senjutsu Earth Style Unknown Sealing Technique NOTES She left the village a very long time ago, Mizo Aberashi has been encountered the most often, but never captured or killed. She knows what’s called Senjutsu, or Sage Mode, which is a testament to her sheer physical prowess. Her squad is long gone, so there’s no one who can be traced to her. Never get close to her, never get in range of her Earth Style jutsu, or you’re done for. TO BE EDITED. [/hider] [hider=Character Skeleton] [b][i]Remember to DM this if you’re a member of the Karasu.[/i][/b] Name : Nickname : Gender : Age : You’re either a genin, a jonin, or something like that, so don’t be 8. Appearance : Faceclaims, anime, descriptions, I don’t mind. Personality : Mhm Status : Are you a genin? A jonin? A Karasu? If you’re Karasu DM it Chakra : All nature’s you know, including kekkei genkai. No Yin, Yang, or Inferno Style. Jutsu : Try to separate these if at all possible, and be within reason, don’t make a Kekkei Touta with a Rinnegan and a Black Lightning Tattoo who can also open the 8th Gate of Death. This includes things like Dojutsu, summonings, chakra styles, and such. Everything from how you handle shurikens to your greatest technique. Background : Anything from whatever clan they might come from, why they may have joined the Karasu, and so on. This can be a big part of your character, depends on what you want to go for. Remember that, unless you’re Karasu, you’re probably from Konoha. Unless your family moved from the Land of Iron or something, you probably were born in the Leaf.
