[Hider=Nazari] Name: Nazari Sutā Nickname/Alias: Mistress of the Moon Gender: Female Age and date of birth: 25, October 2 Age Appearance: 20 Sexuality: Heterosexual Parents: Karai and Zenso Sutā Length and build 5 feet 4 inches Weight 110 lbs Favorite weather and season Rain and Autunm Village: Hidden Rain Birthplace: Amegakure Organization Amegakure Military Forces Clan/Bloodline: Sutā Rank: Jounin Chakra Nature: Water Appearance: Personality: Nazari is very distant from others, she prefers her solitude to the company of crowds. Unlike the members of her clan, she is morbid and blunt while everyone else is more of the optimistic type. Somehow she sees the dark side of every situation, knowing that she could very well end up dead in every situation and her flat personality usually causes those around her to steer clear of her. She has a very strong dislike of liars, those who lie usually end up at the other end of her blade. If one were to ask her opinion on a particular topic, she is likely to be as brutally blunt as she can. Her honesty is seen as down right rude, causing people to see her as a person who only hates others. She is very much a pessimistic person, she states her opinion on the matter very clearly and doesn't sugar code a single bit of it. Seeing no point in hiding the truth behind pretty words, she has not a care for those who would rather hide behind lies and would easily set them straight. With a sharp tongue, she can put anyone in their place in a matter of minutes. Her attitude and dark sense of humor has forced to isolate herself from those who cant handle the truth, leaving her with very distant friends and even fewer good friends. Although she comes across as rude snd uncaring, she is very well mannered and cares quite a lot about those who she calls friends. Another trait that most don't see is that she is fiercely loyal to the side she chooses and will give all she has to help. Putting her life on the line and more for those who she is loyal to. History: Nazari was born into the Sutā clan, her clan was not very wealthy or nor was it very well known, but nonetheless, it was there. Her clan was known for producing advanced Genjutsu ninja, these ninja were agile and swift. Their were techniques strong enough to take down even the strongest opponents with minimum flaws to their fighting style, by using sound as their method of Genjustu release. The Sutā works similar to the Hyuga clan, in which they are two branches of the clan but not as divided as the Hyuga. The main branch is considered to be the stars of the clan because the ones placed into this branch are considerably more powerful than those of the side branches of the clan of which they were almost ignored. Both of her parents were of the side branches and so it was to be expected that she would be of the same branch as well, her parents were encouraging and bright despite their placement, making her see her potential. Her parents were also unhappy with the branch system of the clan, claiming that it created a divide between the clan. At the age of 5 Nazari was branch tested, to everyone's shock she was actually incredibly gifted, she was in fact a child prodigy. At the same time, she experienced the unfair treatment to those who were not as gifted as she was and was horrified by it as she watched those after to be unfairly criticized and placed in lower branches. That same night, there was a clan meeting in which they were deciding the fate of the new main branch members and a decision was made that changed her entire life. The clan elders decided that her parents were unfit to raise her, thus they took her from them and she was given to a much more 'suitable' couple. This was of course when the war started and her clan had the evil idea of weeding out the the weaklings in the lower branches, so they sent the older lesser branch members off to war. Nazari was horrified by this as they kept the main branch members back to train vigorously, putting them various training drills but it was only moderately difficult for her. Being the child prodigy, she did them with ease and was met with praises. This happened for about two years in her life, for those two years nothing stood out to her. At the age of seven, she was placed into the Academy to be trained even more to become a Genin. Nazari stood out, she excelled at Genjutsu as was expected of her and she excelled in Ninjutsu. With no interest in Taijutsu, she still excelled in it. She graduated the Academy at the age 8 and was one of the Rain Villages top students. By time the war was over and many of the lesser branch members were carelessly slaughtered in the war, she was at the level of Chuunin even as Genin. The elders of course didn't tell her that her parents were in the group that hadn't yet returned home and so she expected them home like all the survivors were, but she found out through another member that they had been killed in the war. Even Nazari's best friend in her clan was killed in the war, this caused her to go into an immense depression of which she through herself into countless missions hoping that the outcome would result in her death. It didn't, not a single mission came close to killing her and she was always nearly flawless. Allowing her clan to make her into some type of show case before the fights started. At the age of 12, Nazari witnessed a blood bath like no other and was horrified to find out that it was the main branch facing off against the lower branches. This lasted about one year the Sutā clan slowly killed itself off. She would come to find her home covered and spattered with blood each day, every day was beginning to blend together for her and nothing mattered anymore. That was until she met someone who had been planning on stealing her away from the horrors of her clan, a rouge ninja had walked into her life. One year from the day her clan killed itself, she came home to find Akaro, a rouge ninja from the Hidden Sound, standing in the ruins of her clan and his exact words were "Child, you are mine now." She didn't know why she didn't kill him or why she simply agreed to it but she did, they built a small home in the Hidden Rain and were for a while nothing was wrong. He would tell her to not fear death, that it was inevitable and it was best to embrace it. Akaro was poetic and yet serious at the same time, in fact he was the one who taught her how to make her pan-flute, he taught her his Ninjutsu and was quite pleased that she easily picked up on it. About three months later, he had presented her with a brilliantly made panflute that was attached to bronze chain that would keep it around her neck. When she asked why he was giving her a pan-flute, The day she became a Chuunin, was a bitter sweet day. She had no problem with the Chuunin exams, she flew through it easily with little to no problem. Even in the combat portion of it, those who fell under her song had already lost to her Genjutsu. She came home Chuunin, only to find Akaro dying in his bed. Those who were after him, had found him and he was just barely alive. He told her, in his last breath, "Nazari... I have to embrace death now... But you my dear, my heart... Will live on and go onto greater heights... As the Mistress of the Moon... My Mistress of the Moon..." And thus, at the age of 14, her life lost its meaning. No matter what she survived, there was nothing that mattered to her anymore or so she thought. As it would seem, fate had more plans for her as a delivery girl came crashing into her one day and which caused Nazari's curiosity to turn towards the girl who she found out was named Kazen. It was cold, the only sound that she could hear where that of her own footsteps on the water. She was no shinobi, at least, not an official one. She did learn a thing or two from her parents though. Her short white hair flapped behind her as she ran. The sixteen-year-old delivery girl wore a mask in front of her mouth and this transparent goggles to prevent the wind and water form getting into her eyes. The work of a delivery girl was dangerous, especially as a sixteen-year-old girl in amegakure without proper training. Kazen jumped from the water atop a roof and kept running. Her momentum was great. She hopped over a fence and slides under a low pipe. Nothing was able to stop her in her tracks. She did meet a couple of amegakure Genin but hey were not able to keep up with her and the aiming of their kunai and shrunken was way off. The girl jumped up again only to meet eye contact with a chuunin; the girl was not very old, 14 at most. She stood so close to the edge of the roof that Kazen could not dodge her and her momentum prevented her from stopping in time "get out of t-" she crashed into the girl before she even finished her sentence. The two toppled over the ground and ended up a several feet from the edge of the roof. Kazen quickly jumped up and drew Kaze Katana holding it in front of her in a defensive stance. Genin she could outrun and dodge their Kunai but a chuunin was a whole different story. Kazen just wished she could talk her into not killing her. Nazari was considering what would happen if she were to jump off the roof and land on her back, killing herself. Shaking her head, that was not an option, it was never an option. She heard angry shouts from some new Genin and turned in the direction of them, there was a girl who appeared older than most of them. She only had a split second to react before the girl crashed into her and sent them both to the ground as they grappled for a second. Nazari had to admit that the girl was quick, having her blade already drawn. Nazari was fast too, on her feet in the same second that she had the Katana drawn and the next second, she had the girl by her wrist. "You know... It's polite to apologize to someone after you nearly knock them off a roof..." Nazari said flatly. Her voice was flat and as sharp as a knife, it was laced with venom. In a quick motion, she had knocked the blade out of the girl’s hands and caught her by the wrist, preventing her from going anywhere. "Now apologize..." Just a second after she had drawn her blade it was no longer in her hands, instead of that the girl she just crashed into held her in an iron grip by her wrist. "You know... It's polite to apologize to someone after you nearly knock them off a roof, now apologize". Kazen was dumbstruck by the words of the chuunin and by her speed and strength as well. Her voice was like poisoned sound. However she was clearly at a disadvantage she was not easily swept off her feet "Why do you care?!" Kazen mocked the girl "you were going to jump anyway! Now if you will excuse me..." she freed her wrist and ducked for the blade, “I need to go somewhere" "Why do you care?! You were going to jump anyway! Now if will you excuse me, I have to go somewhere" the girl said and then she was no longer held in a nearly impossible grip. Nazari was tired of these games, of the rude behavior and so she simply grabbed her by the upper arms and twisted it behind her back, yes it was painful for the girl but she had the chance to walk out of this unharmed. "I warned you... Now it's too late..." Nazari said and would have broken the girls arm if it weren't the shouts of nearing Genin. The fact that the girl needed to go somewhere and the nearing Genin was brought to the front of her mind, with a sigh, she let go. "It looks like you need an escort..." she stated and stepped back. "Cover your ears... Unless you want to join them..." She added. Putting her flute to her lips, she played the notes her Genjutsu required and did the needed hand signs. "Sutā Style: Midnight Predator!" Kazen was sure she would be able to outrun the girl but she proved wrong as her freed wrist was caught only a moment after and then twisted behind her back. She clenched her teeth together; she would not show that she hurt her. "I warned you... Now it's too late..." some shouts could be heard by the girl, judging by what they said they were shinobi shit thought Kazen, the Genin I ran into earlier Kazen thought she was done for, the Chunin holding her and the Genin now... then the girl behind sighed and, much to her surprise, let go of her arm "It looks like you need an escort..." Kazen picked up he sword and sheeted it then covered her ears as ordered by the other girl as she put a flute to her lips. After the girl was done playing, Kazen could see that because she put the flute away, she turned back to her. Kazen uncovered her ears and looked at the genin, they stood completely still with fear in their eyes. "An illusionary technique? Oh, I'm Kazen by the way... let us go!" she turned around and started to run. "An Illusionary technique? Oh, I'm Kazen by the way.... Let us go!" Kazen said and Nazari simply nodded and ran after her, she had to admit that the girl was exceedingly quick and agile. It was impressive; she was slowly falling more and more behind but managed to maintain a good ten feet behind and keeping her in sight as well. At that time, a Genin who apparently didn't hear the sound of her flute had jumped in front of Kazen. She was perfectly capable of defending herself, so Nazari just hung back in case she ended up being inept with her Katana. Her interest was drawn to the screams and sobs of those unlucky enough to be ensnared her by Genjutsu, those poor Genin would be losing it soon. Kazen was impressed by the girls’ speed. Although she was not as fast as her she was able to keep up with her pretty well. Kazen though back about those genin and remembered only two standing still as she peeked around the girl with the flute. She wondered where the third went, the answer came sooner then she expected, as he appeared right in front of her. Kazen wasted not a moment, neither wasted her momentum, and when she stood only an inch away from him she jumped upwards, slamming her knee to his chin, knocking him unconscious. A few moments later they were out of the heat, resting at a hiding spot along the way. The other girl was panting heavily "so, what is your name? And why did you help me?" asked Kazen Nazari watched as the girl knocked the Genin unconscious and caught the small child before it hit the ground, laying it under a building before catching up to Kazen. The Genin didn't do anything wrong so there was no reason for it get to harmed more than he already was, once they came to stop, Nazari sighed. "So what is your name? And why did you help me?" Kazen asked her. "My name is Nazari. I'm not helping you... I have every intention of extracting that apology from you one way or another..." Nazari answered, a slight smirk played on her lips. She never forgets those who don't apologize and they usually end up apologizing soon after. Despite the tiring chase of the Genin and the weight of her blade on her back, she was not worn out. "My name is Nazari... I'm not helping you... I have every intention of extracting that apology from you one way or another..." answered the girl to her question "yeah well, not happening" said Kazen resolute "you should be apologizing to me for me getting late now, however, I DO thank you for dealing with those Genin" Kazen turned around "I really should get going, if I'm late I'm going to get it" a shiver went down her spine, she looked over her shoulder back to Nazari "are you coming or are you going back to the roof to try and kill yourself again?" Nazari, in about half a second, had her flute to her lips and the sweet sorrowful song floated through the air surrounding Kazen. "Sutā Style: Stardust Pentagram!" Nazari commanded before the scene faded away to quiet night with yellow specks of stardust falling down that shaped a pentagram. The fact that the Genjustu went without a warning left the girl unprepared to deal with it. Nazari walked through the stardust, in front of Kazen and looked her in the eyes. "Apologize now or you will suffer... And you'll be late..." A pentagram of stardust seemed to form itself unnaturally fast around Kazen's feet. And along with it came the sweet sound of a flute. She only realized she had been caught in a Genjutsu when she saw the girl removing it from her lips. "Damnit!" Not being properly trained the young delivery girl was no match for the Genjutsu specialized Chunin. Nazari approached Kazen, in a reflex Kazen shuffled back, gently touching the stardust with her heel. It burned like hell so Kazen quickly retracted her foot. As she looked in front of her again she stood eye in eye with the younger girl "Apologize now or you will suffer... And you'll be late..." Kazen sighed and closed her eyes "I really don't want to..." she opened her eyes again and looked Nazari straight in her eyes "But I can't have that, I'm sorry for crashing into you" said Kazen with clear reluctance Nazari nodded and played the tune in reverse, releasing Kazen from the Genjutsu as the scene went back to normal. "I really don't want to... But I can't have that... I'm sorry for crashing into you" Kazen said and leaned back on her heels. "Now was that so hard?" Nazari said with a smirk. In truth, she just wanted a reason to use her Genjutsu on someone and Kazen seemed to be the perfect reason. "Come on now, you’re going to be late,” she said almost in a teasing manner. “Come on now, you’re going to be late” smirked Nazari as she released Kazen form her Genjutsu “Tsch, I already lost too much time, try to keep up,” said Kazen as she took off with incredible speed. She ran at full speed, she wasn’t allowed to go slower; her client would have her head if she were to be late. Kazen looked over her shoulder too see if Nazari could keep up. She was still a steady ten feet behind her but at least the distance didn’t grow. Nazari was easily able to keep a good distance away from Kazen, not wanting to over do it but if she wanted to then she could have been able to be only half the distance away. But since she was not in a hurry, there was no need to go that fast. "Who is your client?" Nazari asked calmly as she jogged behind the girl. “Who is your client?” came the question of the shinobi girl. Kazen grinned “err-haha… I don’t know. He wants to stay anonymous. I am supposed to meet a contractor…” some building came in sight “over there somewhere, by that tower” Kazen took a look at the sun, she was running out of time but if she would run at full speed, she would be able to make it “wait here” said Kazen to Nazari and dashed away at full speed. Nazari thought that it was strange that she didn't know and not a good sign that the person wanted to be unknown, it was dangerous. She was about to say something when the girl dashed away and leaving her standing in the middle of a roof, frowning slightly. She sat down and waited for her to return before she went her own way. Jumping up several buildings and running over several roofs, Kazen looked for the spot she was told to go to. A masked man stood in a shadowy corner. "So you finally decided to show up?" Kazen jumped at the sudden sound. She took the scroll out of her backpack and handed it to the man. He unrolled it, read it, rolled it back up and threw it in the air "Katon, Giant fireball no jutsu!" He blew a fireball at the scroll, scorching it, leaving nothing more then some smoldering cinders. Then the man disappeared with a poofing sound. "A shadow clone?" asked Kazen herself. Anyway her work was done and her reward was collected. Now it was just a matter of time before she would receive her next assignment. She jumped down again and found Nazari where she left her. "Thanks for the help Nazari, I'll be heading home now. Maybe I'll see you around some time and try not to run into you like I did again" Nazari saw a huge poof of a smoke where Kazen had gone and was considering going over to see if everything was all right when Kazen came running back. Listening to her speak, Nazari just shrugged like it was nothing special. "I was bored..." Nazari said in response to her. A slight smirk played on her lips as she said that she would try not to crash into her and again, Nazari just shrugged. "That would be wise..." she said and then turned to go. Raising a single hand in a farewell as she walked away like she had not a care in the world. It was that day, that exact day that her life regained some of its meaning. If someone who was so minor, so inexperienced could put her life on the line for a simple package, then surely Nazari could put her life on the line for something so much more important. Looking back at that day, she sees it as a message from fate. That even the smallest most insignificant part of life, has meaning and purpose to it. She began to go on more missions, even the lowly D rank missions, to make herself matter. Yes, she would die one day but she would die knowing that her life was not wasted. Theme Song: Weapons/Items: Nazari carries around basic Shinobi gear, a small pan-flute that is attached to a thick bronze chain around her neck and a basic sword. Name of Weapon: Edge Description: Edge is a blade made from a near translucent metal that almost looks like glass, the handle is specially crafted from a thick almost gel like substance that completely envelops the users hands. The gel like substance has small amounts of chakra in it that allows the gel to harden around the users hands. If not used to the gel, it could burn and cause irritation of the skin. The blade itself, is nearly indestructible and can cut through bone like it was plastic, although the metal is strong it needs to be sharpened occasionally. It's special properties is that it works as a instrument to channel her Genjutsu through. Even the smallest injury from the blade, the slightest contact, starts the Genjutsu. Appearance: Name of Weapon or Item: Pan-Flute Description: A simple small pan-flute that she uses to cast her Genjustu with, it can play up to 8 notes and 36 different tunes. Appearance: It has a bronze thin chain that hangs around her neck, that attaches to the flute so she always has it on her. Skills/Abilities -Slightly less Chakra control -Reflex Speed -Agile -Strategy -Genjutsu Special Traits Nazari has a slightly larger chakra pool than most Jounin but other than that, there is nothing special about her traits. Kekkei Genkai: None Name of Kekkei Genkai: None Clan: None Description: None Jutsu: Custom Jutsu Name of Technique: Midnight Predator Type of Jutsu: Genjutsu Rank: C Range: Mid-Long Nature Type: Defensive Genjutsu Handseals: Ram, Horse, Snake, Rat, Description: By playing a soft A note followed by a soft and short C note on her pan-flute. It makes the opponent think that it's midnight, by making it darker to them and the temperature drops. There are no shadows visible and there is a crescent moon that hangs in the sky with an open eye in the center to watch the opponent. It also acts on their fear, making them feel like they aren't alone in the Genjutsu and it causes the target to become increasingly nervous the longer the Genjutsu is in act. Eventually it will cause the target to break down into a nervous wreck, immobilizing them while they are ensnared in the Jutsu. It has been said that once trapped in the Jutsu, the target loses all sense of reality and their screams can be heard. Weakness: If the notes aren't performed correctly or if they are interrupted then the Jutsu has no effect at all. The target has to hear the notes in order to become ensnared. ==================== Name of Technique: Stardust Pentagram Type of Jutsu: Genjutsu Rank: B Range: Short-Mid Nature Type: N/A Handseals: Rat, Ox, Snake, Horse, Boar Description: By playing a soft B note followed by a short A note and finally D note on her Pan-flute, she cast her Genjutsu. This Jutsu has a similar effect to Midnight Predator in which it changes the targets surroundings to night where the temperature drops. In the Genjutsu, it would appear that yellow glowing specks of stardust is following from the sky in the shape of a pentagram and if the target were to try and touch the stardust, it would make them feel like they were being burned. Even more so is when the stardust sticks to their skin and continuously burns them immobilized due the immense pain they are in. Essentially trapping them in the area of the pentagram while she can walk through the stardust or she can shrink the area of the pentagram. Weakness: If the notes aren't performed correctly or if they are interrupted then the Jutsu has no effect at all. The target has to hear the notes in order to become ensnared. =================================== Name of Technique: Moonlit Path Type of Jutsu: Genjutsu Rank: C Range: Mid-Long Nature Type: N/A Hand Signs: Rat, Snake, Ox Description: Making it appear like its midnight as well as making the temperature drop in the Genjutsu to reflect the night, it is quite peaceful. This jutsu makes only a single path of light that can be manipulated by the user to lure the target into a false sense of security while in reality they are being lead directly into the hands of the user for an ambush. In this Jutsu, the moon is full with what appears to be two open eyes in the moon watching the target. Weakness: If the notes aren't performed correctly or if they are interrupted then the Jutsu has no effect at all. The target has to hear the notes in order to become ensnared. ================================== Name of Technique: Ghost Lover Delusion Type of Genjutsu: Defensive Rank: C Range: Short-Mid Nature: N/A Hand Signs: Snake, Hare, Rat =============================== Name of Technique: Siren Moon Song Type of Jutsu: Genjutsu Rank: B Range: Mid-Long Nature: N/A Hand Signs: Ox, Rat, Snake, Tiger, Boar, Rat Description: Unlike her other Genjutsu, this one is more subtle as it doesn't make the target think it's midnight. Instead it makes a barely visible moon appear in twilight, in a dense forest with a single path leading to a small pond. The target begins to hear a soft hum that turns into a louder but easily heard song about a lovely maiden, the song puts the target into a trance and leads them into the pond/where the user is waiting. This is by far the most difficult to perform and hardest to maintain as it requires her to keep playing the soft tune that cast the Genjutsu. The tune is as follows, a soft A note followed by two short C notes and then another soft A note shortly followed by a D note with another A and C note. Weakness: She has to keep playing the tune throughout the Genjutsu and if she misses a note, then it automatically dispels. ========================== Name of Technique: Water Moon Dragon Dance Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu Rank: B Range: Short-Mid Nature: Water Hand Signs: Dragon, Snake, Hare, Boar, Dragon, Ox, Boar, Rat, Snake, Dragon Description: Effective most on water, the user is shaping the water into a dragon like figure that has large eyes and a long narrow body attached to the body of water that user is standing on. The dragon wraps around the target and engulfs the target in water, nearly drowning them before releasing them and hitting them full on before dispersing into water again. This Jutsu is able to be done away from water if considerably skilled in performing water nature based Jutsu but the force of the attack is lessened considerably as well. It also exhaust the user quite a bit and should only be used away from water as a last resort. Weakness: This Jutsu is strongest on water, but capable of performing off water as well but takes a considerable amount of chakra and energy. ============================ Name of Technique: Pressurized Armor Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu, Defensive Rank: B Range: Short Nature: Water Hand Signs: Dragon, Ox, Boar, Snake, Hare, Tiger, Dragon, Ox Description: This Jutsu, completely covers the user in a water as dense as metal that has small microscopic air bubbles in it, so that the user can breath while the water serves as armor. The water surrounds the user before confining to the shape of the body, becoming a second durable and dense skin to the user. The armor moves with the users body and is flexible despite the density of the water. The armor can expand and contract depending on the situation, it can even separate from the user to block an attack from behind. Weakness: Consumes a huge amount of chakra and leaves the user greatly exhausted if uses for long periods of time. =========================== Name of Technique: Multi Limb Prism Type of Jutsu: Defensive, Ninjutsu Rank: A Range: Short-Mid Nature: Water Hand Signs: Ox, Boar, Dragon, Snake, Ox, Snake, Hare, Dragon Description: This Jutsu uses water to form multiple limbs that cover the users body, these limbs can serve offensive or defensive purposes but mainly is defensive. The limbs form a solid durable and dense prism around the user and any ones in a range of 5 feet from the user as a shield. Allowing air bubbles to maintain oxygen in the sphere, long enough to keep them breathing. In the offensive manner, the limbs shoot out and grab the target forming the same prismbut tighter and not allowing any air bubbles to pass through to the trapped target. The limbs can also grab and wrap around said target to toss them around before dissolving back into water. Weakness: Consumes a huge amount of chakra, the more air it needs to support those in the prism the weaker the shield becomes. And Academy jutsu: Clone, transformation, replacement, etc. Weaponry: Nothing particular aside form the usual Kunai, Shuriken, exploding tags, wires, smoke bombs, etc. [/hider]
