[quote=@Aku the Samurai] [hider=The Empty Vessel] [b]Name:[/b] Yūto Uchiha (formerly Sam Wú). [b]Titles:[/b] Work in Progress [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Age:[/b] 0 [b]Affiliation:[/b] Konohagakure, Uchiha clan (Nominal) [b]Physical Description:[/b] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/474x/06/5f/57/065f57018aa489631df2d280ae913969.jpg[/img] [b]Personality:[/b] Yūto was someone who could best be described as "incomplete". He follows 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 cannot 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. [b]Likes:[/b] Not much. [b]Dislikes:[/b] Being indecisive, Restriction (repressed). [b]Dreams:[/b] Yūto's dream, if 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. [b]Short Biography:[/b] 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 a child's life. He couldn't say he regretted it. After his death and subsequent meeting with "Kami", he found himself awakening as a newborn of Konohagakure's Uchiha clan. 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? [b]Inventory:[/b] [list] [*] TBD. [/list] [b]Skills:[/b] [list] [*] [i][b]Animal Specialist[/b][/i]: Yūto's former life saw him employed as a highly-skilled animal handler. He's naturally gifted and well-learnt at keeping animals calm and (relatively) friendly. [*] [i][b]Put them back together again; Medicine:[/b][/i] Yūto is good at fixing things, particularly people. It was a given, considering how often he'd had to peel a wild animal from some idiot who thought they were pets. They are not. [*] [i][b]Phenomenal Memory:[/b][/i] Yūto has a hard time forgetting things once he learns them. [*] [i][b]Tracking:[/b][/i] Yūto is trained in tracking down and identifying individuals. Unfortunately, he never managed to get very far before reincarnating, so he's still something of a novice. [/list] [b]Tropes:[/b] [list] [*] [i][b](Nigh)Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint:[/b][/i] 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 knowledge of (almost) all major and minor events set to occur. Of course, this comes with the [i]minor[/i] caveat that even the slightest action he takes may have unpredictable results in the setting. [*] [i][b]Great Sage Equal to Heaven:[/b][/i] 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. [*] [i][b]Holder:[/b][/i] [/list] [b]Chakra Affinity:[/b] Lightning/Fire.

[/hider] [/quote] Approved! You can pop that [s][i]sacrifice to our lord and savior, Itachi[/i][/s] glorious addition to the emo clan in the CS tab! [quote=@WanderingDragon] Jaden Bernes CS [/quote] As a quick preface, I'd prefer all CSes to be contained in hiders for space-saving/neatness purposes. That aside, however, I very much like what you have going on here. The list of goals, in particular, very solidly label this guy as one of (if not THE) most broadly ambitious of the current PCs. As things are, I actually can't find a single thing to critique. Is this still a WIP, or would you consider this complete? [quote=@KillamriX88] [hider=Kohaku] [b]Name:[/b] Hiryuu Kohaku [b]Titles:[/b] Not Cool Enough Yet [b]Gender:[/b] ??! [b]Age:[/b] 0 [b]Affiliation:[/b] TBD [b]Physical Description:[/b] 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)) [b]Personality:[/b] 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. [hider="Short" Bio] [b]Biography:[/b] 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 [i]out[/i], 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 [i]just[/i] 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 [i]not[/i] 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 [i]very[/i] 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. [/hider] [b]Inventory:[/b] [list] [*]Absolutely nothing. Maidenless, even. [/list] [b]Skills:[/b] [list] [*] [s]Still Maidenless[/s] [/list] [b]Tropes:[/b] [list] [*] "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.

[*] 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. [/list] [b]Jutsu:[/b] [list] [*] [s]M A I D E N L E S S[/s] [/list] [b]Current Goals:[/b] Short Term: Don't get killed again - More bees Long Term: [i]More bees[/i] - "I can fix her" - MORE.

[list] [*]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, [i]fine[/i] it was the arc that had Hinata dancing naked in the moonlight. Yeah, remember it now? Point is: Kohaku has bees. Bees? BEES! [s][b]FOR EVERYONE![/b][/s] [/list] [/hider] [@Lewascan2] As you can see... I got a little silly at times. May have... gone too far in some places. [/quote] Approved! You can toss Kohaku in the character tab at will.
