I’m gonna drop Mizo here so everyone can read her, since I’ve mentioned her so much already lol. [hider=Mizo Aberashi] [center][color=Gold][h1]Mizo Aberashi[/h1][/color][/center] [img] https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/559528686681063437/725074844172943500/image0.jpg[/img] [youtube] https://youtu.be/_k1y8pymrF4[/youtube] [color=Gold]Age: 37[/color] [color=Gold]Gender: Female[/color] [color=Gold]Height: 5’11”[/color] [color=gold]Status: Karasu[/color] [color=Brown]Nature: Earth[/color] [color=Gold]Personality:[/color] Mizo is inherently solemn and often has the atmosphere of someone who is tired of the world. She used to enjoy spending time studying the more far out aspects of the shinobi world, like senjutsu, the history of the Rinnegan and the Sage of Six Paths, or sealing jutsu that she rarely hears anyone talk about. Despite her kind and mellow nature, when somebody gets under her skin, they get a good solid fist slammed into their stomach. Mizo may appear to be a generally peaceful shinobi, despite being a rogue ninja, but that is because of her past experiences with the deep seated hatred and suffering that comes with being a ninja. In another time, Mizo was proud to call herself a shinobi of Konoha, but now she feels nothing but pity and remorse for the land of fire, as well as the rest of the Great Nations. Though she is regarded as a villain and a national criminal by definition as well as her crimes, it is hard to see her as evil when you get to know her. Throughout her decent into the criminal world, the one thing she never forgot about being a shinobi was looking after comrades. “We are all ninja. We all are shinobi, there is no reason to kill each other. You don’t have to die because of who I am.” Mizo is the type of person to help a ninja she’s never met when they’re wounded, and help them back to their village whether she has to run for her life afterwards or not. Her heart still bleeds all the same for all shinobi as a whole, regardless of the borders they’re separated by. Before now, as a genin, she didn’t think much of Konoha as a whole, she thought it was just a place, and that it wouldn’t matter if the people weren’t here. To Mizo’s genin self, Konoha wasn’t where the people were already, but where they are any time. It doesn’t sound like it makes a lot of sense, but it did to her, it was about the people living on the land, not the land itself, that Mizo cared about. Of course, she began to understand that the “Land” in “Land of Fire” wouldn’t be Konoha unless people spent countless generations making it what it is, by then, everything about her home meant the the world - literally - to Mizo. [color=Gold]Background:[/color] Growing up in the ninja academy, Mizo struggled with things like the basic clone jutsu or substitution, though she was great at taijutsu, which wasn’t special since most kids are. Mizo one day read a book on the earth style, and asked her teacher if she could try to learn the rock wall. Her teacher found it odd that a student who was underperforming at ninjutsu wanted to learn something like this, but also understood that everyone learned differently. As it turned out, Mizo was a natural at things like the rock wall and mud clone. Her newfound skill awarded her a pass, and her teacher gave Mizo an alternative learning path, she would still learn shuriken throwing and chakra control, but anywhere that a jutsu could be replaced with earth style, She’d learn differently. A few years later, in the middle of her chunin rank, Mizo journeyed to Mount Myoboku to learn senjutsu from the Toad Sages, and it was by this point that her training began to feel like it was really coming together in her mind. She put earth style on the back burner and devoted her time to Sage Mode, eventually interweaving the two into her own genuine fighting style. Only a year or two later, she gave up on the village. Nobody knows why, not her old sensei, not her teammates, not her friends. No one. It was like a switch was flipped in her head, all that was left behind was a vague note stuck on her front door with a kunai. “I’m tired of all this, can’t take it anymore. This isn’t anyone’s fault unless it’s everyone’s fault. Forget about me if you have to. Kill me, hunt me down, don’t care. It was fun while it lasted. Thanks for being my village.” The note wasn’t found until early that morning, when no one could find her. She left with a packed bag in the middle of the night, she crossed into the Land of Rain before anyone had any idea. That was the last anyone had ever heard of her. None of her friends could ever figure out why she left, she had never once talked about it, she let things get to her sometimes, but she always cares about Konoha. No one could understand why she left, never. [color=Gold]Jutsu :[/color] Mizo is a grounded and levelheaded fighter. While she doesn’t fight very often, she goes all in when she does, mixing earth style tactics with brutal taijutsu punches. Mizo uses sage mode very often, there are few moments in any given day when nature energy isn’t flowing through her body in some capacity, meaning she’s able to fully activate senjutsu at any given moment, which is why she can fight with such titanic strength, and only just break a sweat. That is of course, if you can get her to actually fight you. [hider=Ninjutsu] Ninja Art : Summoning Jutsu Summons a toad from Mount Myoboku. She didn’t learn this until a while after the chunin exams, when she learned senjutsu. Earth Style : Rock Wall A literal wall of rock. Like a shield. It’s about ten feet high. Earth Style : Mud Clone Mud clone. Simple enough. Earth Style : Antlion Hole The ground beneath Mizo’s feet slowly starts to crumble away until she sinks underneath, only to seal itself shut once she’s buried underneath, she then listens for the vibrations in the ground, until somebody comes along for her to grab so she can have her way with them. Earth Style : Sphere of Graves A very simple, but downright ridiculous jutsu involving pulling a very large chunk of rock out of the ground, big enough to destroy an iron hull of a ship, and throwing it at someone. While it doesn’t require much chakra, it does require physical most shinobi don’t have. [/hider] [hider=Senjutsu] Mizo didn’t learn Senjutsu until she was around 16-17. Since then, she’s changed up her fighting style to revolve primarily around senjutsu. Sage Art : Mountain Shield Like rock wall, but much bigger and stronger. Sage Art : Canyon Slam A ground punch that splits open the earth, for trapping. The small canyon is roughly 30 feet deep, and is best used in large, spacious area. Sage Art : Black Iron Sealing Pit Similar to Canyon Slam, but a straight drop deep into the earth, seals the target away with jet black chains that wrap around the target, pulling them deep into the dark chasm that closes behind them. Sage Art : Toad Oil Mizo inhales air, and exhales oil, very flammable oil that can be sprayed a decent distance for as long as she exhales. It burns well, but needs to be ignited by something like a paper bomb, or fire style. Sage Art : Toad Clay The ground becomes soft and mushy beneath one’s feet until they fall through, when the ground hardens, they’re stuck. It’s not terribly difficult to break free, unless the ground is made of stone or something else stronger than dirt. [/hider] [/hider]
