Personality: An orphan since birth means Therese grew up with a stigma in place. In order to offset it, she has long since learned how to adopt a specific persona to fit in better. A social chameleon, so to speak. This does not necessarily mean that Therese would actively try to deceive people, but her first instinct in social situations was to fit in the best she could. Her real personality is the quiet, introverted sort, preferring reading books, watching movies, or playing games at home rather than going out on the town. She has, however, realized that just as less academically gifted student still has to study to pass tests in the education system, less social people still need to 'pass' social encounters. And so she treats social grace as another 'class' to pass.
Likes: Books, movies, games. Dislikes: Unprofessionalism, people who just moan about how bad their lives are without doing anything. Dreams: Back on earth, used to be to retire peacefully after a career of ethically helping people 'tell their side of the story' as a barrister.
Short Biography: A barrister practising in the United Kingdom's criminal court, before her unfortunate accident, Therese Grace spends most of her days either representing people in court or looking over case files and court records. Being an orphan, aside from some occasional meet up with colleagues she went to law school with, not much else was happening in her life. Not every client is innocent, of course. Still, the principle of the justice system is that every defendant is entitled to a proper defence and the barrister's code of ethics obliges her to act in her client's best interest.
After her accident and meeting with Kami, she found herself as newborn Yuki Akane of the Yuki Clan in Kirigakure. Known as the Bloody Mist, Kirigakure is a harsh environment even for a ninja village, where civil wars are rampant, the caste system is fully in place, and the purging of the undesirables—those with bloodline limit seen as the harbingers of strive as misfortune—is in full swing. While the purging of bloodline limit users send many of Kirigakure's shinobis with bloodline limit to the growing rebel forces, or leave the village as missing ninjas, some willingly surrender their freedom to the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, fearing the power of the Kage who is also the Jinchuuriki of Sanbi. Submission is, after all, preferable to destruction. These oppressed bloodline limit users live in internment camps, used only as tools of war as powerful shinobis. It is to a family of such shinobis Yuki Akane was born.
She has little to no knowledge of the Naruto canon. She'll recognise the whiskered spiky blonde kid in an orange jumpsuit, and know that the series revolves around ninjas, but nothing else.
Inventory:
Skills:
Oratory skill, mostly debating As a former barrister, Akane is a capable speaker, able to convince people of points she, herself, does not necessarily believe in.
Investigative skill A former barrister often working on criminal cases, through experience if nothing else, Akane is proficient in shifting through documents and testimony to get at the bottom of things.
Tropes:
Chakra Sensitive A combination of being a user of bloodline limit that necessitates good chakra control to mix the elements as well as her memory of past life without chakra—a state that gives a very stark difference to her current chakra-filled life—give rise to chakra sensitivity that is uncommon in those native to the world of Naruto. It allows Akane to mould chakra with better efficacy and opens up the potential to be a distinguished sensor ninja in the future.
Yin Chakra Imbalance Being a reincarnate, with memories of being an adult naturally shifts the chakra balance of these individuals more towards Yin—the spiritual component—than Yang—the physical component—at the moment of birth. In Akane's case, due to her past life as a barrister being a profession that uses the mind much more than the body, the balance shifts even further. This allows Akane to be more proficient in techniques that rely more on the spiritual or mind component such as genjutsu at the expense of having less than average proficiency in pure physical taijutsu.
Current Goals: Short Term: Safely defect to the rebel forces. Due to the tracking seals placed on each bloodline limit users under the village's control, attempts on defection to rebel forces more often than not end poorly. Even should they manage to reach the rebel force, often the rebel force rejects them out of fear the tracking seal will reveal their location or in the worst case scenario, outright kill the defectors either because they are seen as cowardly traitors who bend the knee to Yagura or spies send to undermine the rebellion.
Long Term: Returning to the old world, and should that pose impossible, make Kirigakure livable. The standard of living, and needless to say the commonly accepted moral framework of Kirigakure is anathema to someone who used to live in the modern world. It is only natural for such people to wish they were able to return to their comfortable lives. Akane does realize that it might be a pipe dream, but if that were the case, then she has but one path ahead of her, change Kirigakure herself.
Name: Fūma Yumiya | previously Hyuna Kim Titles: none Gender: Female Age: 0 Affiliation: Fūma Clan | Konohagakure Physical Description: Black hair and green eyes.
Personality: Persistent and hardworking, with an inclination to throw herself under the bus to lift others up, if she does all that she does remember that in the end it’s for someone else’s good, most of the time. For likes? cigarettes and cute outfits (plus the occasional yaoi). Dislikes? cigarettes when YOU smoke them, they kill you, you know.
Short Biography: Short and clear? Got it. Was a nurse in the past life, typically worked in critical care units and extra shifts to keep her younger siblings floating with comfortable money. Even foregoing details of her passing, it’s apparent she still has the mental energy and vigor to continue her overtaxing habits even in a new life. Her knowledge of the Narutoverse is limited to knowing a guy is called Naruto and punches stuff with magic or something, fair to say in her meeting with Kami she failed to realize where she was being thrown into hand hardly believed the experience was real, and so ending up in a newborn body was quite the shock

Personality: Kaname has an affinity for going with the flow despite her necessity of being loyal to the Haruno clan’s ideals. She wants to live her life decently slowly and take her time and pace herself accordingly despite somewhat missing the lifestyle she once had. However, it was too quick for her, and felt like she was missing out on many things that could’ve changed her perspective on many of the things, she regretted throughout her previous life. She’ll love anyone and anything despite her family’s misgivings.
Likes: Music, Family, Taking it slow, and enjoying her new life. Dislikes: Disappointing her parents, causing others discomfort. Dreams: Her greatest dreams are helping everyone to know how to properly help their children to have them chase their dreams too. Even if it will take her to help them by supporting them by being the person that everyone wants to be with despite her clan name getting in the way.
Short Biography: Ohashi Tamami performed two separate career paths based on her family’s due diligence and her tenacity in wanting a better life for the younger generation of Ohashi family members. Her extended family wanted Tamami to become a J-pop Idol, because of her talent with her voice and overall charisma while trying to get her way. She agreed to become the J-pop Idol as long as she could pursue a Social Worker career too. It’s mainly because she feels like it’s necessary to have multiple careers in the world’s economy, which she would always want to save for the future. Tamami was part of a J-Pop Rock Band called the Pink Circlet Ninjutsu Kaijuo and her producer had a heavily one-sided contract with her band, but the producer was supportive to a point. She had an unfortunate accident that involved being run over by an Import Super Car, which was a Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica owned by her producer.
After her accident and meeting with Kami, she found herself as a newborn Haruno Kaname of the Haruno clan in Konohagakure. Her knowledge of the Naruto fandom/series is very basic out-of-context knowledge and reference information from her producer and band, but she has sung many of the series' songs without knowing the Naruto fandom/series. Known as the Hidden Village in the Leaves, despite the history of the village it's the most peaceful. The Haruno Clan is one of the seated members of the Civilian Council and is influential within Konohagakure because of connections with the Daimyo of the Land of Fire. Her mother's name is Haruno Aneya and her father's name is Haruno Morokao. Despite this, Kaname (Tamami) is a small fish in a large pond experiencing the world that her producer talked about much during her band's time in the sun.
Inventory:
None Right Now
Skills:
Musically Talented – Singer - Previously in her life as Tamami, she was musically talented as a singer for her lead part as the head of a band calling itself the Pink Circlet Ninjutsu Kaijuo. Her mother wanted to regain her popularity through her daughter but failed in giving her daughter some of the best and worst of the entire aspect as being a J-Pop Idol. Funnily enough, her name within the band was called, the Singing Sakura.
For the Children, Social Worker - Usually due diligence in her work as a social worker she always thinks of children first and tries to help them in their times of need. She always wanted better for the children, but not being a mother herself caused her to have different views that the parents were putting their woes and wants on their children, which is what happened to her by her own mother. A bit of a chip on her shoulder because of her mother’s desires was placed on her. It includes categorizing children’s problems with what their parents wanted.
Tropes:
Chakra Awareness: Kaname is aware of her new circumstances of being reincarnated as a person who has a system that is uniquely different from what she had in her previous life. Her perceived wants allowed her to be aware of the Chakra System that now flows freely within her. Kaname's life will become much different later down the line with this awareness.
Legacy of the Sakura: The Haruno bloodline is considered almost one of technicality. Though they attain no abilities of use to a ninja, their genetics are undoubtedly robust beyond the norm, and any Haruno is rarely born without pink hair. Even having this "cosmetic" bloodline, however, is enough to afford them a reputation in some circles. It's rumored (and generally considered false propaganda spread by Haruno looking to up their political capital) that their clan once possessed actual abilities of note, but if they did, those days have long since passed, fading with time and secrets forgotten. Maybe, someday, someone will win the genetic lottery and change that...
Chakra Affinity:
Fire (Affinity) - Being born in the Land of Fire, in general.
Water (Affinity) - Wanting to take her life much slower than her previous life.
Bloodline Limit:
Kaname inherited the defining pink hair.
Jutsu:

Holder
Current Goals: Short Term: Kaname wants to live her life as a Haruno despite her family’s misgivings and utter crazy beliefs and desires. She wants to properly become something more than what the others see her as, in the short term. In addition, would enjoy meeting others despite her family but not to cause any trouble within the village she now lives in, which is trying to bridge the gap between the Haruno Clan and everyone else to see eye to eye better with everyone including her family. Long Term: Kaname wants to leave the regrets she left behind in her previous life behind her, and help those that mean so much to her. Her mother and getting her to realize her goals are counterproductive, even if it will take something drastic to do so. However, the biggest regret was never having children and in this new life she wants children, but she has to get old enough to have them. Extra:
Personality: Akifumi doesn't really have a dream for the future, except maybe make enough money to retire as a ninja as soon as possible and just life an easy simple life with little to no responsibilities. On the other hand he is fully aware that that probably isn't possible given that this world is apparently in pretty bad shape and he doesn't think he should just abandon his friends.
He is as big a big an eater as the rest of his clan and has a sweet tooth, though he doesn't dislike salty snacks. Akifumi doesn't like being in charge of anything major, seeing the responsibility as little more than a source of stress even if he understands how important it is.
Short Biography: Akifumi or Danny as he was known in his previous life was nothing special. He was a thirty six year old single office worker with some interest in anime and manga, only familiar with Naruto up to and including the Sasuke Recovery Mission arc of the manga's part I.
He died in a car accident and when given the offer to reincarnate by Kami saw no reason to refuse. Being somewhat knowledgeable of the world he would be sent to and having always been a big eater he decided to reincarnate into a clan that would fit him well: The Akimichi's.

Name: Hiryuu Kohaku Titles: Not Cool Enough Yet Gender: ??! Age: 0 Affiliation: TBD Physical Description: Blue eyes with light-brown hair that seems to have a bright, reddish hue to it when viewed from certain angles. They have a slender build, with delicate features, however they're taller than the majority of their peers. This gives them an ambiguous, yet at times imposing figure. (Image hopefully in progress soon-ish(tm))
Personality: Personable, yet aloof. Polite, yet not exactly magnanimous. Kohaku likes people who help themselves, because then Kohaku doesn't have to. The type to condemn a bully and in turn scoff at the victim for letting themselves be bullied. In short: a self-absorbed cynic.
Biography: In their previous life, they worked various jobs. Debt collection, call centers, and delivery work. Often all at the same time. None of them made a lot of money, but they all did wonders for eroding one's faith in humanity. The original Naruto manga was their escape from reality... until one day they were removed from that reality altogether.
While well-read with the original, they were less enthused with Shippuden, and Boruto is right out.
As for their new life, their father is an Uzumaki, part of a lineage that's been marrying in and out of the clan for a few generations now. The father was the latest to marry out, leaving Kohaku's Uzumaki blood rather... diluted. The mother was barely more than a nobody. It was thanks to this union that they survived the purge of Uzugakure... by simply not being there in the first place, however, the father's flaming red hair was a dead giveaway.
At first, they hadn't even heard about the purge, living peacefully away from the war as best they could. Then, later, they continued to lay low, not wanting to travel during, or even shortly after, the hostilities. Finally, the father wanted to visit the remains of his homeland, but this proved to be a mistake. There had been reports, here and there, of Uzumaki survivors. It might not even have been the father they'd caught wind of, but all the same, shinobi of Iwagakure laid in wait.
A group of shinobi, including members of the all but fallen from grace Kamizuru clan, ambushed them. The father sacrificed himself, telling the mother to run. It was no use, the bees and wasps of the Kamizuru clan found the mother within minutes, but she was not killed. At the time, she was just pregnant enough for it to be noticeable.
The Kamizuru clan-members were ecstatic. They'd hunted down an Uzumaki, and captured his pregnant wife. Unfortunately, the leader of the group was not a Kamizuru. They had no desire to give the disgraced clan any time in the sun, rather preferring to keep them under their heel. As this betrayal became evident... spite won the day for Kohaku's mother.
They fled, stealing the woman away under the cover of darkness, if only to lessen their former leader's prize. Spirits were high at first upon their successful escape, and the names of those who'd wronged them were cursed profusely. Then, they realized the depths of their own betrayal. Then... they began to feel the guilt of what they'd done, traveling with the woman they'd wronged, who'd never wronged them in the first place. The ones with her hadn't dealt the fatal blow, but their clan's bees had been instrumental in tracking them down.
As the mother's belly grew heavy, she had no choice but to rely on her former captor's help, as she could not travel far on her own. She got along best with the youngest of the group, for they were the most innocent, both in term of lack of experience and by being of the lowest rank, and thus having had the least to do with her capture.
When it came time for her to give birth, Kohaku was finally born... along with their twin brother, Kozue? However, around that time, it wasn't just the twins being born. The bee swarm possessed by the eldest of the Kamizuru had also given birth to a new queen. Normally, new queens were either culled by the swarm, or carefully collected by the clan should the birth of a new swarm be warranted.
The young queen seemed very interested in Kohaku's chakra signature, flying to them before she could be culled. Thus, one of the first things Kohaku ever saw was the black and yellow stipes of the large queen bee landing on their chest. It was horrifying.
The defacto Kamizuru leader then made two offers before Kohaku's mother could swat the thing. One: to... simply remove the offending creature, or, two... to let Kohaku keep it as some small form of reparation, and to teach them what they could about commanding them. After much debate, Kohaku's mother agreed, wanting her child to have every little advantage possible.
She was nervous of course. She'd chosen to bestow her own family name of Hiryuu rather than Uzumaki, and their signature red hair hadn't... fully taken root, but Iwa was looking for deserters with bees. Then again, Kohaku was clearly not a deserter, and who'd ever heard of an Uzumaki commanding bees?
And so Kohaku's messy little story began.
Inventory:
Absolutely nothing. Maidenless, even.
Skills:
Grifter - In Kohaku's previous life, dealing with angry, entitled, selfish individuals was commonplace. Between their employment and their own less than ideal lot in life, they had to learn to deal with these people. They had to learn to see through their lies and sob stories, to shut off their own emotions when necessary, and manipulate them in turn.
Tropes:
"I Don't Even Know Who You Are" - The Uzumaki side of Kohaku's heritage all but speaks for itself, but their mother's side is pretty much a mystery. No one knows much of anything, including the mother herself. In most cases this would mean absolutely nothing, but in Kohaku's case it will likely result in some prior unforeseen benefit at a sufficiently dramatic moment.
Chakra Affinity:
Water
Bloodline Limit:
No Bitches, Just Beetches - In other words, Kohaku has been paired with a queen bee of the Kamizuru clan and will begin to form a hive surrounding their body. - Kohaku as of now has no control of this singular bee.
While possessing no techniques, Kohaku has a stronger than average life-force and chakra pool right from birth due to being part Uzumaki. Not enough to automatically heal others with, though.
Jutsu:
M A I D E N L E S S
Current Goals: Short Term: Don't get killed again - More bees Long Term: More bees - "I can fix her" - MORE. BEES. - Seriously, don't get killed again - BEES
Extra: Apparently these aren't functional tropes, but they amused me as I wrote them, so here they'll stay.
Filthy Halfbreed: Being roughly 40%, give or take (and it's probably take), Uzumaki, they have been screwed out of all the really cool bloodline traits, but at least have the advantage of an above-average life force and chakra pool, especially should they focus on training it. Don't bite them, though. You'll just get hurt. Again.
'Member Beerries: 'Member that filler plot about the bees? OK, well it wasn't really about bees. It was about a bug, though, the one with the long nose. Still... still not remembering it? OK, fine it was the arc that had Hinata dancing naked in the moonlight. Yeah, remember it now? Point is: Kohaku has bees. Bees? BEES! FOR EVERYONE!
Name: Yūto Uchiha (formerly Sam Wú). Titles: Work in Progress Gender: Male Age: 0
Affiliation: Konohagakure, Uchiha clan (Nominal)
Physical Description:
Personality: Yūto was someone who could best be described as "incomplete". He followed his family's rules and traditions without complaint but not with resolve. To him, his existence was merely a pawn in the game of life and he had little reason to change that. And yet.... something inside him could not help but despise such thoughts. Perhaps with the second chance he had been given, he might be able to experience life on his own terms.
Likes: Reading and Nature. Not much else. Dislikes: Being indecisive, Restriction (repressed). Dreams: Yūto's dream, if it can be called that, is to find some kind of purpose to break the endless monotony of his life. And perhaps the answer lies within his new life. Whatever that may be.
Short Biography: Sam Wú was born the middle child in a Chinese family of great renown in their community. Being the child of a foreigner, however, strained his relationship with the older generations. His family had high expectations for him and his siblings and no tolerance for anyone who could not live up to them, regardless of lineage. In that regard, at least, Sam did not entirely disappoint them. But it was never enough. The more he succeeded, the more they expected; it was a vicious cycle with no end in sight. Until he met his end at the tires of a reckless driver to save his younger sister's life.
He couldn't say he regretted it.
After his death and subsequent meeting with "Kami", he found himself awakening as a newborn in Konohagakure. It was perhaps a stroke of luck (or maybe fate?) that he'd gained significant knowledge of the Naruto series from watching the show with his younger siblings. As fate would have it, he was reborn as a member of the Uchiha Clan, one of the most powerful bloodlines in the entire ninja world, albeit their faction was in something of a decline as of late. Nevertheless, it was a fresh start and that was what he always wanted.
.... Right?
Inventory:
TBD.
Skills:
Nature Specialist: Yūto's former life saw him employ his talents as a highly-skilled animal handler. He's naturally gifted and well-learnt at keeping animals calm and (relatively) friendly.
Medicine: Yūto is good at fixing things, particularly people. It was a given, considering how often he'd had to put back together some idiot who thought wild animals were pets. In the wild, medicine was scarce. At least, for most people who weren't him.
Phenomenal Memory: Yūto has an exceptionally high capacity for knowledge and finds it essentially impossible to forget anything that he's learnt.
Tracking: Yūto is trained in tracking down and identifying targets. Unfortunately, he never managed to get very far before reincarnating, so he's still something of a novice.
Tropes:
(Nigh)Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint: As someone who had been forced against his will (by a nine-year-old) to sit through the entirety of the Naruto series and subsequently its manga, Yūto possesses perfect knowledge of (almost) all major and minor events set to occur. Of course, this comes with the minor caveat that even the slightest action he takes may have unpredictable results in the setting.
Great Sage Equal to Heaven: In his previous life, it wouldn't be incorrect to say that Yūto spent more time amongst nature than he did among people. As such, he is uniquely aware of the presence of natural energy flowing through the world, something he feels quite keenly, especially due to its obvious absence in his past life. Things will be very interesting if he decides to do something with it.

Name: Uzumaki Ren/Henry Cook Titles: Sage of Cranes (Future Ambition) Gender: Male. Age: 0 Affiliation: Hidden Grass Village, Land of Grass, Uzumaki Clan. Physical Description:
Personality: What are Henry's likes, dreams, and dislikes? The answers are below.
Henry appreciates family and the freedom to choose; a family that chooses to be one is likely to be happy and strong, despite the world's attempts to destroy them - That is his view. Or, more mundanely, he appreciates earning enough cash to be independent, as well as buy sweets and delicious food in moderation.
What does he dream about? Earning freedom and independence through legitimate means; he would only accept an unearned gift if he had no other choice or if the person giving him a gift was a close friend or family or someone he feels fondly about.
As for his dislikes? People who would restrain people's choices and wills without consultation or coherent reasoning. He also despises cruelty and ill-treatment of others, especially when the 'target' is innocent or suffers overkill for their offenses. In short, he hates the misuse of power - That's tyranny.
Short Biography: Henry Cook saw Naruto when the Anime was first coming out; he thought it was good at first, then it turned bad quickly, in his opinion, thanks to filler and ass pulls. Then he switched to real History, which eventually got him an Associate's Degree in the Humanities that proved to be useless except that it allowed him to begin writing his own Webcomic that won enough Patreon donations for him to keep himself alive. He also wrote parodies of Naruto Fanfiction and read the latter as well, while keeping up with developments in Naruto Shippuden, then Boruto. He was going to be one of those rare things: A nerd who could afford his lifestyle without his parents supporting him, and who also kept physically fit due to being able to afford a gym membership.
Then, on the way to the gym to celebrate his 30th Birthday and his inching toward financial stability, his dreams ended when he was hit by a truck; a cliche he wanted to mock in his last moments of consciousness.
Life after Death was no consolation. Reincarnation into a world that he knew from head to toe yet stopped liking a long time ago was a sticking point as well. Nevertheless, Henry preferred to live, and so he was reborn as a baby in the house in Kusakagure, the Village Hidden in the Grass, as the younger brother of one Karin and just like her, a full-blooded member of the Uzumaki Clan. His slightly negative feelings about Karin changed right then and there; after all, they're siblings now. As for their mother, Henry/Ren will save her, and also prove himself an exemplary Ninja; one cannot wait for the Canonical Protagonists to do all the work now, can they?
After all, his new Mom knew that she had spontaneously conceived him without forewarning or announcement; a literal gift from the Kami. And that was their little secret; a bond that he was certain would grow as they grew up...

Name: Previously named Jaden Bernes. Currently named Hageshi Titles: (To Be Determined) Gender: Male Age: 0 Affiliation: Kumogakure Physical Description: Currently, Hageshi is a dark-skinned boy with stark black hair, and black eyes.
Personality: In his life as Jaden; he was described as a no-nonsense boy who never suffered fools or bullies. This tendency was to the point of even lashing out at adults when he felt they exhibited these traits. He was a young man of intense focus, and unwavering will. But, this can make him somewhat stubborn, and quietly rebellious.
Jaden seemed driven by an intense impulse to push his limits. He loved adventure, and could sometimes be an adrenaline junkie. His previous dream was to travel the world; experiencing different cultures, finding new challenges, and seeing as much as life had to offer as he could. This is not to say Jaden was always impulsive. In fact, Jaden usually wouldn’t act without carefully considering the situation.
Despite his intensely serious exterior; Jaden sharpened his tongue with sarcastic dry wit, and a satirical, absurdist sense of humor. He especially loved to roast “edgelords” and “drama queens”, as he found them insufferable.
Finally, Jaden was often earnest and honest: He always tries to do right by people, and has a strong sense of morality. He lived by the maxim "Fix what is broken". However, this drive to do “The Right Thing”, and need to think things through could lead him to thought paralysis.
Short Biography: Since a young age; Jaden Bernes had wanted to be a ninja. They just seemed to be the complete package: Skilled in all things, able to go anywhere, and do anything. So, when his parents signed him and his reluctant brother up for a martial arts school; it was like a dream come true.
By age 13, Jaden received his black belt in KaJuKenBo, and earned the Arrow Of Light badge when he transitioned from Cub Scout to Boy Scout. His life was a hectic one; from dealing with a bullying conspiracy at school, to rivalries between Dojo, to camping trips turned survival gauntlets.
At 19, Jaden was on his way to Hawaii to test for his 2nd Dan belt. Unfortunately, the pre-flight check for his plane wasn’t as thorough as it should’ve been. They were halfway there when a stray lightning bolt caused an engine explosion.
When Kami grabbed Jaden’s spirit, he wondered why it was his and not one of the numerous people praying. Still, when he learned of the situation; he laughed. Jaden was familiar with Naruto, and had occasionally dabbled in it. It seems his childhood dream would come true; and all he had to do was die!
Boy Scout Training: The youth of his previous life saw Jaden in the boy scouts. There, he learned some outdoor survival, basic carpentry, first aid, and even some basic firearms training. The latter of which would be totally useful in a world without guns!
Xtreme Athlete: Besides Martial Arts, Jaden had a love of xtreme sports; particularly parkour, BMX, and trial biking.
Musician: Jaden is pretty well practiced in the guitar; his favorite instrument being the 20-string guitar
Versed in East Asian Canon: In his previous life, Jaden had a deep interest in East Asian culture & mythology. He was especially familiar with the concepts of Qi/Ki, and regularly practiced meditation, Qigong, and other cultivation techniques.
Tropes:
Crystal Memory: Hageshi retains his memories as Jaden Bernes. Especially important as his previous skills will be helpful in his mission.
Chakra Awareness: Due to his esoteric practices as Jaden, and casual understanding of Naruto-Verse's Chakra system; Hageshi is aware of his own Chakra.

*The list of people to find is ordered by most helpful, and most likely to believe Hageshi and the other player characters. *The reason Hageshi wishes to keep Itachi alive is because he believes he isn't truly evil; his knowledge and abilities would be a great help in the PCs' mission; That, and it would piss off Sasuke to see his pointless revenge denied.
Personality: A duality of kindness and ruthlessness, Godra is willing to both risk it all for a friend, and if he must, strike down all those who's foolishness would cause untold suffering. He sits firmly flipping between a chaotic good, and lawful evil mindset as the situation requires. But beyond all else, he seeks improvement of himself to not fall victim to the same mediocrity that plauged him in his first life.
Short Biography: A good man, with a failed life, G.D.R.A tried his hardest to be a good person. He donated his money to charity, his time to others, his blood, sweat, and tears to those who only had to ask. However, despite how much he chased being good, he found no peace, his mind constantly telling him he wasn't good enough. As he grew, he let this voice flow from him in the form of stories, and scenes, created for others, a play of misery and pain. While his primary job was as a gas station manager, he moonlit has a professional game master for table top rpgs, using them to vent his darker urges. His end came when he noticed a small child having fallen down in the parking lot of the gas station where he worked. He raced to help, but as he got close he saw a fuel truck pulling in threatening to flatten the child. With all of his strength he picked them up and threw them, before he was crushed by the truck, his last sight? The child landing in the grass, unharmed.
As he spoke to the lady of life, he asked for a die to determin his reincarnation. He rolled, and chuckled to himself before declaring the blood line he'd like to be a part of. "Shimura. Like Danzo. A lynch pin of the chaos of this world. If he is infected with this malign force, the world will be in shambles. I shall be the shadow's shadow, correcting the world."
"However I must."

While she doesn’t emote much, and her glare is a permanent fixture on her face(not that she knows about it), Lyco is a girl that’s passionate about her hobbies, and that doesn’t like to see people having a hard time. She can be painfully honest when she talks, and isn’t one to keep secrets unless asked to,though she doesn’t go out of her way to reveal them. A stoic,if caring person.
-Likes: “Cooking”,Masks, Whatever Mom is feeding her
-Dislikes: Betrayal,Hard to understand situations.
-Dreams: Open a restaurant(or even just a cooking stall really)
A failed cook in her previous life, she had an unfortunate encounter with Food truck-kun after being fired because she gave food poisoning to a client.
After meeting Kami, and hearing of her proposition, Lyco readily accepted, and only asked if she could send her to a place where she could use her cooking skills.
Kami, wanting to grant her wish, but finding her skills closer to poison-making than actual cooking, reincarnated her in the Yūdoku Clan, reassuring Lyco that her new family shall love her…skills.
The Yūdoku clan is a small family from Kirigakure,after being forcibly assimilated(and so at the bottom of the Caste System) by them. To worsen things Kirigakure, not trusting them, but still unwilling to give up the power of the clan, relegated them to the outskirts of the hidden village,leading to further distrust.
One action thought, was able to chip at this ever-worsening relation. Kirigakure, in a move sproned in part by fear and in part by segregation, forced the Yūdoku clan to wear respirators which, while not truly hampering their Kekkei Genkai, would be a show of submission to the village. The Yūdoku, strangely enough, accepted it without much fanfare, and actually thanked the village for the idea. A few years passed, and every Yūdoku member had its own custom respirator, and relations between the village and the clan, while not truly repaired, were stable and slowly on the way of mending themselves.
Unfortunately, they never got the chance to do so, as the Fourth Mizukage came to power. In between the Purges and the concentration camps of the Mizukage,the Yūdoku clan decided that instead of a slow,oppressed death,that fight for their freedom and rights was better. They got into contact with the ever-growing rebel forces and created a plan to desert. Even then, a good part of the Clan perished to the hands of Hunter-nins in the desertion.
Lyco was the last Ninja-born Yūdoku in Kirigakure, as the clan is now integrated into the rebel network.
Knows some random obscure trivia and, very roughly, how the story should go.(knows about the main cast, high chance she has forgotten important but secondary details)
-Respirator: A tradition of the Yūdoku clan after being assimilated into Kirigakure, every member has their own respirator. Childrens use it to avoid accidents with Toxins. Adults instead, use it mostly as a fashion object and a way to slightly ease the fears of those around them that know of their Kekkei Genkai.
-Cooking “Skills”: For the Yūdokus, Lyco is the greatest cook that has ever been born in the clan. For everyone else, Lyco cooking is a quite literal Health Hazard. Purple cloud of death wafting from the food included.
None(Yet)
Water Earth
Dokuso-iki: An organ taking the place of the Liver and Kidneys,that is not only able to neutralize toxins, but also assimilate them to reproduce them at a later date.Additionally,as more diverse and powerful toxin are ingested, their body and ability to manipulate toxins is augmented minutely.The Dokuso-iki is connected to an opening in the mouth, from where users are able to dispense the produced toxins as either a liquid or mist. Side-effects include a higher difficulty to utilize any non-toxin jutsus, as well as having a “Sweet-tooth” for toxic substances.
None
Short Term: Get a pot and more quantities of whatever goodness(read:toxin) they are feeding you. You need to properly savor it!
Long Term:
All mentions of her cooking can be exchanged with poison-making/Poisoner without a noticeable difference :V

- GOT! Plant!(Lycoris Radiata)
- NOT GOT!(but might in the future!) Insects!(Death-Head Hawkmoth, Ghost Moth,Black Butterfly) Birb!(Crows,Owls) Opals A way to stop rigor mortis Blue/Purple flames FUN! Hallucinogens
Personality: A nonchalantly whimsical individual with a penchant for passive-aggressive words & actions. He is resolute to his selfish cause of satisfaction yet in a roundabout way prefers unorthodox methods to show that deep inside his self indulgence, he has a heart that cares but too tsun to show it. A passion that brews the storm in the clouds, seizing every opportunity like the storm that is approaching & provoking.
For likes? Sweets & Energy Drinks Dislikes? Energy Drinks & when YOU drink it, it gets addicting
Short Biography: Short and clear? Absolutely
Was an Athlete in a Sports University whose accomplished major was Japanese Martial Arts with a specific knack for the traditional armed weaponry of Japan. The middlechild among the siblings with a workaholic older sibling whose habits are rather adulting vices since she's the breadwinner of the bunch who Yusuke often banter due to obvious differences. It's apparent that Yusuke died from over-training due to substance abuse, substances that are obviously overdose of energy drinks.
His knowledge about the Narutoverse is rather selective. An Uchiha Fanboy through-and-through because that's what got him to watch the Anime & Storm Games in the first place. Even IRL Past, Yusuke would model himself based on Uchiha Fashion, particularly exhibited through his hairstyle & high-collared jackets. It's a given that during his meeting with Kami, he fulfilled his fanboyism by being the very obsession he projected in the past. In all honesty, this love was moreso that the Uchihas are a strong symbol of masculinity allegedly at least to Yusuke in the past life, calling them Sigma Chads.
Yusuke passionately embraced his new identity.
