It's been a long time since I participated in a Naruto thread. Might as well see if I can make something work, yeah? I'll post the shorthand, summary CS's for my two character ideas here and see if I can get the full sheets finished by the end of the weekend. [hider=Ryoma Fujimori] Character description: The eldest of a pair of forsaken twins, Ryoma took on the brunt of the responsibility required for two kids to raise themselves from an early age. The Fujimori twins were abandoned to the mountains in the north of the Land of Fire and were forced to adapt to survive. In this manner they became excellent survivalists, with Ryoma himself becoming an excellent hunter. As he grew older his physicality far surpassed the local dangerous game and a lifestyle that was once dangerous and unstable had become simple and natural. The twins survived in the wilderness until they were discovered by shinobi of the Leaf, whom were surprised to learn their story and find them thriving in what most would consider a hostile environment. The two were offered passage to Konohagakure, on the condition that they would put their skills to use serving the village, but they initially declined the offer. It would be less than a week later when they would change their minds. They managed their way to Konoha without any guidance and were greeted with skepticism. Once they were cleared of any wrongdoing or suspicion of espionage they were allowed in. With nowhere to stay the two simply acclimated to living in the forest outside of Konoha, going into the village every day to attend the Academy and become shinobi themselves. Ryoma excelled in his training, much to no one's surprise, and has remained a popular icon of his class. While he may be rough around the edges and brutally honest this same lack of inhibition also has led to him being very sociable and kind to those around him (at least until they offend him in some way). Many look to his career with interest, curious to see if this wild boy will turn out to be a great man. Nature release: Earth, though Ryoma does not know his affinity yet Main jutsu: Though he has potential Ryoma has had only the training given by the Academy for his ninjutsu. The only unique technique he has picked up on his own is a camouflage technique to hide his presence. Flaws/points of focus: With limited formal training there can be a lot of points for Ryoma to improve on: most notably his ability to use chakra. Ninjutsu: 2 Taijutsu: 4 Genjutsu: 1 Intelligence: 4 Strength: 5 Speed: 5 Stamina: 2 Hand Seals: 4 Total Ability: 4 Latent Potential: 3.5 [/hider] [hider= Uzume Fujimori] Character description: The youngest of a pair of forsaken twins, Uzume was often protected and sheltered by her older brother from an early age. The Fujimori twins were abandoned to the mountains in the north of the Land of Fire and were forced to adapt to survive. In this manner they became excellent survivalists, with Uzume herself becoming an excellent trapper (and gardener). While her brother was the far superior hunter she was able to find ways to contribute to their survival, growing more clever and resourceful as time went on to the point of making their "home life" very tame and safe from outside threats. The twins survived in the wilderness until they were discovered by shinobi of the Leaf, whom were surprised to learn their story and find them thriving in what most would consider a hostile environment. The two were offered passage to Konohagakure, on the condition that they would put their skills to use serving the village, but they initially declined the offer. It would be less than a week later when they would change their minds. They managed their way to Konoha without any guidance and were greeted with skepticism. Once they were cleared of any wrongdoing or suspicion of espionage they were allowed in. With nowhere to stay the two simply acclimated to living in the forest outside of Konoha, going into the village every day to attend the Academy and become shinobi themselves. It was clear early on that her brother was considered to be the prize jewel as Uzume was quickly written off as having little potential. Though she is a fast learner and far more intelligent than she lets on her lack of physical ability was a heavy detriment during her training. Combined with her more introverted, recluse personality it was fairly easy for most of her peers to ostracize her. While her brother remains encouraging she receives very little encouragement from anywhere else, though perhaps there may yet still be a diamond inside this overlooked girl. Nature release: Earth and water, though Uzume does not know of her natures yet. Main jutsu: Having received no ninjutsu training outside of the Academy, Uzume only really knows the Academy techniques. But she has been taught the camouflage technique that her brother picked up on. Flaws/points of focus: Uzume performs very poorly across the board in combat skills and physicality. She has a long way to go. Ninjutsu: 1 Taijutsu: 2 Genjutsu: 1 Intelligence: 5 Strength: 2 Speed: 2 Stamina: 2 Hand Seals: 2 Total Ability: 2 Latent Potential: 4.5 [/hider]
