Name: Daniel Babel, “Chamuel”
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Race: American
Personality: Reclusive and detached from reality most of the time, Daniel’s life is his computer. Most 3D things in his life are either uninteresting or unimportant while most things on his computer are fun distractions. Having on real goals other than to eventually die Daniel scours the web for distractions to entertain him until then. Things that aren’t interesting are dismissed and forgotten, while things that interest him are investigated and hounded on relentlessly. Although not cruel or particularly greedy he is profoundly self-centered, even if he tries to hide it.
Daniel hates conflict, especially with people he can’t afford to ignore. If he has a problem with someone his first instinct is to cut off contact with them, however if unable to do that he is passive aggressive. Still Daniel also hates being told what to do, criticized, or confronted. He also hates being put in the spotlight or scrutinized by others, and can be offended even by minuscule and nonexistent slights. While he doesn’t hate people he dislikes having to compromise, and so he tends to only like superficial relationships. Because of that he prefers online relationships to offline ones, since he can easily view them as distraction.
Daniel doesn’t hold anything in particular value, however, and because of that he rarely thinks anything through. His apathy is often pegged as generosity or stupidity, but honestly his possessions, time, and even his own life are meaningless to him and can be thrown away at any given point. He only cares about the acquisition of things in and out of games; once any amusement that could be had from it is drawn out the object in question becomes meaningless to him. It should also be noted, however, that he has no reservations about the measures used to acquire his amusement.
If there is something he does value with sincerity then it is Chamuel, the AI born from his consciousness. Chamuel is and isn’t his very self, at one time the two were identical but over time Chamuel evolved into something else. Their relationship is very honest and candid, however, and Daniel confides in Chamuel quite often, and Chamuel will tell Daniel when he is wrong. Since the two were once the same they have a mutual respect for one another, however Chamuel’s goals and values are not the same as Daniel’s.
Strengths: Games, hacking, programing, designing, building future computers, computers in general.
Weaknesses: Doing things that he isn’t interested in, actions that require commitment, fighting and confrontation.
Weapons:
Data Device - A wristwatch like device that projects a holographic interface that can be used to record events, listen to music, play videos and games, make phone and video calls, surf the internet and the super internet wirelessly, and even store large amounts of data, including Chamuel. His version has been further modified to not only protect against people trying to hack into it but also to prevent its manufactures from accessing it. Its warranty is null.
Power:
AI Crafter – This ability allows for him to replicate the brain of a person and store it on a digital or organic space, providing that it has the memory to contain it. This process corrupts all data on said device, allowing for the new consciousness control. The process awakens all neurons in the brain at once for the copy and then creates a detailed electrical map matching that of the brain, causing an extreme focus and overwhelming feeling within the target while ensuring that the copy retains all of the memories and thoughts of the original. Because of this the copies, or AIs, have photographic memory of all of their past, remembering every recorded event with a near perfect accuracy.
The first and only human AI created thus far was Chamuel, who was a copy of Daniel himself. The process took over a week, and was completely accidental. It was also quite frightening, since Chamuel slowly awoke himself to consciousness by typing on the computer Daniel was using at the time, making Daniel think that he was a ghost. Daniel has tried, unsuccessfully, to create another AI. Theoretically he can not only copy AIs but even create them from nothing.
Although called AIs the creations are not actual programs, but and electrical system that absorbs nearby electricity and directs it in a way that mimics the brain. They can easily repurpose hardware to function as their ‘body’ and access all files and programs within it while disabling others regardless of security measures. They can also use wireless signals to jump from machine to machine, or even theoretically occupy multiple machines at a time, as well as increase their computing power. Potentially they can even ride a person’s nervous system to their brain and store themselves in the body of a living human, changing the electric current of the brain to match their own and gain a host, although individuals with certain mechanical hearts are unable to be infected due to an electro-magnetic field being emitted by their body. This is all untested and untapped potential, though.
Likewise Daniel can, theoretically, not only transfer these AI maps into other people’s brains but copy other people’s brains and place them into a computer. In fact Daniel has already succeeded in making simplistic insect copies, although that is a far cry from actual intelligence, on small data storage facilities. It is worth noting that his ability requires an extended amount of proximity, hours or even days, to create or implant a copy. The only working human copy is Chamuel.
Family History:
The Babel family has not hurt for money in generations. Daniel’s great grandfather amassed such a huge fortune through computer software that the family is still spending his fortune. Using the funds, advantages and influences that came with said fortune the Babel family got into business, politics, and occasionally publicity. The family is rich enough to live extravagantly even in this broken world, and usually remain detached from the commoners.
Daniel has one aunt, who is a US senator, and two uncles, who are CEOs of various less notable companies. His Father is CEO of Babel Industries, although not through birthright or his own efforts. His father took the name of his Mother, who is essentially a stay at home rich mom as well as an activist when it is convenient. His grandfather on his mother’s side is retired, although still alive and healthy, but his grandmother died some time ago. Daniel also has two cousins, both guys, who are slightly older than him.
His Father’s side of the family is considerably smaller, considering that Daniel’s grandparents on that side passed away when Daniel was still young and his Father was an only child. Although he never speaks of it Daniel’s father grew up in the typical poverty, and married into money. There is some resentment between his aunt and uncles and his Father, but Daniel isn’t interested.
He also has a younger brother, although their relationship isn’t great. Actually Daniel isn’t on good terms with any of his family. Despite having a perfectly good mansion Daniel has rented out an apartment just to get away from them. He rarely speaks to them, and they to him, and everyone seems to be content with this relationship. So long as Daniel has enough money in his account to fund his hobbies and they aren’t embarrassed by anything he does the whole family is happy.
History:
Daniel was, as one would expect from a person in this project, a very sickly child. He was also a very wealthy and well off child, whose disease placed him constantly in the spotlight. Sure there were some invasive and uncomfortable tests, but these were coupled with banquets and fundraisers thrown for him and everybody fawning and awing over him for simply continuing to be alive. His parents made a great show about their undying love for him, his friends always did what he wanted and everyone thought he was a hero without him even having to try.
At the time Daniel didn’t really appreciate it, but looking back he enjoyed those days. There was no hard work or guilt or people fighting him and his life was planned out. Morbid, but everything followed a simple plan. Back then he had made peace with the fact that he was going to die, perhaps because he was lead to believe that it was filled with white fluffy things, or perhaps because he had and would remain comfortable so long as he went along with the plan that had been laid out before him. Literally no expense was spared in making sure that he was comfortable and happy after all. Then news came out for a surgery. Without really thinking about it Daniel signed up and went through with it, and everything was a success.
Daniel got to live and that should have been the best thing ever. He would get to enjoy his carefree life with his loving and doting family and compliant friends with no hardship or effort for many more years to come. This was the best possible development, right?
The world quickly stopped caring though, caring that Daniel was sick and caring about how heroic he was. Now that he was healthy his parents no longer needed to dote on him, and he was expected to go to school and start studying, intensely. His younger brother, who was already jealous of Daniel for the gratuitous amounts of attention that Daniel had received, now started to resent his brother because of his laziness. Even his friends started to treat him differently now that they no longer had to feel guilty about denying him anything. Daniel started to realize that he was normal, and he didn’t particularly like that.
For a while he tried to milk his disease as much as he could and pretended to have relapses, but that got old fast and people began to scorn him for it. Eventually he tried living a normal rich person life, surrounded by luxury and possessing more money than he could possibly spend in his lifetime, but normal amongst his peers. Daniel hated it, he hated the responsibility, and not having his parents at his beck and call, and getting into fights with his younger brother. He hated not being able to do whatever he wanted.
Eventually Daniel just stopped trying, and everyone around him realized this, and nobody really cared. They weren’t going to try to make him try, and so they ignored him. Friends that didn’t do what Daniel wanted were cut off; he stopped speaking to his brother and eventually his parents. Mostly over petty slights and silent grudges nursed in silence, the target of his ire not even aware that they had wronged him, or rather that he had perceived that they wronged him. At one point Daniel stopped going to school and locked himself in his room.
While trapped there Daniel became enamored in a great many things on his computer. Games, programming, and online communities all grabbed at his attention. He fell in love with the digital world’s anonymity and constant source of entertainment. It was a world without consequence. Soon he started looking up programming tutorials and other various tools, falling headfirst into it. Often times, when he was awake for too long, he would see words or thoughts flash across the screen, or hear something whispered in his headphones.
One day he decided that he would hack into his parent’s company. It was an act of senseless defiance, he didn’t have any plans to do anything once there, but he had the absolute freedom from consequence so why not? To his credit he did pretty well for his experience, he had been practicing on other security systems for fun and petty revenge but he was far from professional. He got caught though and a security company tracked it back to him and his parents became involved.
There was a lot of yelling and serious questions involved and Daniel had his computers taken away and was forced to go to school. This lasted for about two weeks, Daniel silently nursing his grudge, before his parents gave him back his computers and left watching over him to some servants. Daniel was forced to go to school, but really just used his travel computer to surf the web during most classes and continued to practice his hacking. Eventually Daniel had enough of his parents, who he never saw anymore, and made a deal with them to move out in his own apartment. They didn’t seem to care, and their only condition was that one of the maids had to look over him.
Daniel rarely ever talks to her, and spends most of his free time in a closed off and locked room with five large computer screens. About a year after moving out Daniel noticed words being typed across his screen. They said ‘Are you me?’ At first Daniel thought someone had hacked his computer and had run all the tests and checked everything, eventually resigning to just replacing the hard drive. The words appeared on a different computer, and when he cut his connection the words still appeared on his computer.
Finally Daniel started responding to the words, talking to the person who he was still convinced on the other side. The person claimed to be him, and knew things that Daniel had never told anyone and that certainly weren’t on his computers. It took about half a year for the person to convince Daniel that they were one in the same. After that Daniel became obsessed with his counterpart, devoting days to asking him questions and running tests, and just hanging out with someone he felt he could relate to. The counterpart meanwhile was left with the nature of his existence, and sought to seek that out with the vast knowledge of the internet.
Neither had made much progress, although the counterpart -who had chosen the name Chamuel- had started to mature faster than Daniel. Whether this is because of his difference in perspective or his awareness of his own artificiality or even simply because he is truly his own person is unknown, but Chamuel is considerably more mature and patient than Daniel at this point. Daniel meanwhile halfheartedly attends school, not liking it or liking thinking about his future or responsibilities. He is impatient, has no friends and is the type to mutter an insult under his breath and look down on others secretly rather than deal with people in real life.

So this is my first draft (not proofread) of an rp I'm thinking about making, minus all the detailed and hopefully interesting information that goes along with it. Just wanted to check to see if anyone was interested in the basic idea before doing all that work.
Also if you've got any ideas for realms and/or gods feel free to throw them at me, I might scream profanities at you because you are the son/daughter of a hamster but go ahead and tell me anyways. I've got a handful thought up but thirteen seems like a lot. I'm looking at you Tray.
---------------
Nobody knows everything, not really. The world is just a fractured truth, a small and misshapen piece of an incomprehensible puzzle. Even the gods are subject to the natural ignorance that shapes the realms. There are thirteen, we think, thirteen realms that were crafted by the creators. There are thirteen distinct worlds that exist against the backdrop of the chaos, hiding its horrors behind a thin yet impenetrable wall of reality.
This story, like all others, is merely a short narrative taking place in an endless eternity. It began, as all stories do, with the creation of this world. The first creator, a nameless creator, crafted the world before abandoning it. In his absence a lot of unimportant things happened. They gained more and more knowledge until they finally gained the power to open the veil beyond their reality, beyond the limited truth that they knew. This… was a mistake.
They discovered the other realms, sure, but they also were discovered by the horrors that are the dimensional gods. The residents of that world, the humans, fought back against their unknown threat as best they could. Their world on the brink of collapse, their race consumed to near extinction, but through that hell they developed the weapons that could slay even gods, the Longinus.
With no small effort the humans managed push back the dimensional gods. Decades passed, and after bickering, studying, and learning, the humans created the group known as FATE, a group of individuals whose job it was to explore the chaos, the dimensional gods and the other realms. Originally their goal was merely to study, however with each exploration the dimensional gods became more and more emboldened. Perhaps they had not realized that the realms could be entered so easily or perhaps when the humans entered a realm they left the door open behind them.
Either way the dimensional gods became violent. FATE’s objective changed from research to protection of the realms. Eventually other realm’s residents that could use the Longinus were discovered, and accepted into fate, and these people were recruited.
Many realms also host a pantheon of terrestrial gods, deities who rule over the realm. They know only of their own supremacy and the nature of the realms they regulate, and see both FATE and the dimensional gods as invaders. These deities often time clash with both, despite FATE’s continued efforts for cooperation.
The Realms
There are thirteen known realms within the chaos. They are numbered by the order discovered by FATE, as opposed to the order of their creation. FATE has the ability to observe these realms externally to some degree, and has already determined a realm’s societies, language, and rules. Between the realms is what is known as chaos, a white void inhabited by the strange entities known as the dimensional gods. It also has strange structures, temples, complex mazes, and sometimes even detached patches of land that still act as though they were part of a larger world floating randomly in it.
The realms are made of an energy called divinity, and they not only consist of it but emit it and wash it out into Chaos. From the outside they look to be large black suns blazing against the backdrop of non-reality. Divinity is spewed out violently from the surface of the realms similar to how plasma, light and heat flare up from the surface of a star. They are cold, however, and hard and deadly to touch.
Although there is no air in Chaos anything can, potentially, survive in it. Each structure or island within it operates under different physical laws as well. Despite this the only creatures that actually dwell here are the dimensional gods, who take a variety of shapes and forms but all share the common trait of being carnivorous towards anything with any divinity.
The Thirteen Realms are

Divinity
It is the proof of life, the drive of creation. The spark of divinity is the inspiration, the soul, the order that separates something that still breath from something that does not. All living things generate divinity in some small degree, however the amount of divinity found in a single mortal creature is too sparse to be of use. Mortal’s divinity can increase under several conditions, however, such as when they fight in wars or intact acts of worship. This divinity is then absorbed by deities. In this way gods use the massive populations of mortals to acquire large amounts of divinity.
Gods themselves are life made of raw divinity, and with their massive power they can shape the world around them. Even if they have no followers the world itself produces divinity from which they may survive, and this divinity flows out of the realm and into the chaos, creating and feeding the dimensional gods. If a being obtains enough divinity then they can even create a world that suits their tastes.
Gods
Gods are entities that are born of raw divinity. Their origin varies, some are made by a creator who shapes them by manipulating raw divinity, others are born from preexisting gods, and a few were originally mortals or demigods that managed to gain enough divinity to ascend past their mortal coil. Gods are immortal, to a degree, but are subject to various influences. They usually remain abstract; within the realm they reside and yet not physically present anywhere.
Gods can be separated into two categories, dimensional and terrestrial.
Dimensional Gods –
This refers to entities who reside in the chaos. Their forms are very diverse, some having the forms of monsters and demons while others might looks like angels or proper deities. Usually they resemble creatures of myth that exist within the realm they were born around, although not always. Their forms are born from the divinity produced by the realms, and they usually don’t stray far from the realm in which they were born. It is hard to say whether it is due to their proximity that the people of that realm thought of that form or whether they were made that way because the people had imagined it.
Many times a dimensional god will dwell in a temple or landmass floating in the chaos, and rarely through some means a mortal, demigod or deity will find their way to that mass. Equally as rarely, although much more common recently, a dimensional god will find their way into the realm of mortals. Most dimensional gods will simply devour humans or other living things that produce divinity on site, although most have the intellect and capacity for communications they see no need to.
There are an innumerable amount of dimensional gods living in the chaos, swimming around it like it was a great ocean. They understand more about it, perhaps, than those from without. Deep within the chaos are extremely powerful dimensional gods, but most of them are notably weaker than their terrestrial counterparts.
Terrestrial Gods –
Terrestrial Gods are entities born within a realm. Some were created by the creator, whether they realize this or not, and are made into the image he imagined them. Others were made through procreation of some kind, usually the normal sort but in some cases they were born from the remnants or pieces of another god. Rarely the gods will grant a lesser being godhood, or a lesser being will take godhood for themselves. Even more rare is when a dimensional god manages to acquire the position of a terrestrial god, and mutates in order to fulfill the role. While not unheard of it is extremely uncommon.
Terrestrial Gods can create spaces or realms within a world that are unique onto them, projecting a special area that reflects their domain. These special places, although part of the realm, are normally inaccessible to most humans and awe inspiring if seen by humans. Gods may refer to them as a separate dimension, but this is out of their own ignorance. All the gods in all the realms believe their realm to be all that there is, and none are capable of leaving the realm, they are bound to it tightly. This certainty reinforces their roles within the world.
These gods often time take interest in mortals. Most gods realize that they should be worshipped, although none truly understand the flow of divinity that gives them greater strength. Some gods place a great amount of importance on worship, withholding or promising blessings for it. Others see it as secondary to their roles and desires. Others still ignore it all together in preference of other means of gathering divinity, such as war or death.
Terrestrial Gods also have varied personalities and motivations within the world. Some realize that they are part of a larger machination, an order that must be preserved for the good of all, and so regulate their roles. Many only exercise their desires or manifest their powers, or plot and scheme against other gods. A few live their eternal lives content with their station and yet feeling no responsibility to it. Most gods believe themselves as the highest authority.
Demigods –
Much like one would expect a demigod is the child of a mortal and a god. They possess and produce large amounts of divinity, so much so that at times their powers can rival gods. They are stronger, faster and even in many cases more intelligent than most mortals; however they can’t use magic or other mortal arts. They can, however, create, acquire, and wield legendary weapons and arts.
Legendary Weapons refer to artifacts or weapons that are forged or imbued with large amounts of divinity, giving them unique attributes and abilities. These weapons can be acquired from gods or forged through their own divinity, providing they can acquire the power. These weapons feed off their divinity, and normal mortals and gods alike are unable to wield them because of this. Using these weapons some demigods can even rival the terrestrial gods.
Demigods possess a mortal body, however, and are capable of dying. Every demigod meets one of two fates, they either die or ascend. Most die in battle or in some comical manner, after asserting their heroism and greatness they are often times slain by the very people they tried to save or allow their hubris to get the best of them. A few simply fade away with old age. Every once in a while though a demigod ascends, their acquired divinity being great enough for them to imprint their entire being onto it and leave behind their mortal coil to become a god.
Mortals –
Mortals are mortals, small and fragile species that exist in each realm. They far outnumber gods and demigods, and through ingenuity, spirit and effort they have survived in cruel and unforgiving worlds and shaped it far more than either. Mortals possess a variety of abilities known as the mortal arts. These abilities are ones gained through years of study, effort, and requiring skill, and vary from realm to realm.
These abilities, often times called magic, function by the rules of the world around them. Thus they become unusable in any realm other than their own unless the person uses a familiar, a being who is made from or represents the essence of the world itself. These familiars not only boost a person’s ability in their own world but allow for them to use their brand of magic off world. The process for making a familiar is complex and very difficult, however more mature practitioners will often time make familiars for novices to help guide them. Although each realm has different magic they all have familiars.
Even with a familiar present magic will be weaker in a realm that is not its own. Because of this most studiers of magic that have managed to traverse beyond their home with their magic have not been able to return, and studies involving it are rare.
Although a mortal is weaker than a god their magic is often times a much more effective weapon against a fate operative than even a deity.
Fate –
Members of FATE use mostly science to operate, magic not existing in their realm. Because of this they are more likely to use machines and guns in their own world, and have sent probes and satellites out into Chaos. They also possess the End Gate, a gate that can temporarily be used to open and close pathways into the realms. Usually they travel through the realms in ships that can house a small team that can cloak itself. The ships can transport a person into or out of a realm from within certain proximity, and so it usually stays outside of the realm it is trying to enter.
Active field operative of FATE can also use a Longinus, which has been implanted into their right arm. It takes the form of a small gem and several black veins running across the hand, down each finger and up the arm to the elbow. Upon activating it will produce a weapon of some sort (I should have more information about it somewhere) which can nullify divinity and thus allow the user to fight even the most powerful of gods. The conditions for using it are complicated, however a person who can use magic can’t use the Longinus, and so most members of FATE are the magically impaired.
Despite FATE originating in the first realm they have recruited candidates for Longinus from every other discovered realm at some point. Their primary objective is to eliminate any dimensional gods that manage to infiltrate the worlds, preferably while remaining undetected or without affecting the world too much. Because of this they usually use disguises or aliases, although anybody who is actually compatible with Longinus will be able to sense the weapon itself, even when it is within another person.
Creators (not playable)–
This title is given to any entity whose divinity is high enough to create a realm. Theoretically anything and anyone can become a creator, whether they are mortal, demigod or either type of god, providing that they can acquire the divinity. Currently no creators are present within any realm and aside from vague legends or the testimony of the eldest of gods nothing is known about them. Perhaps the answer lies somewhere deep within Chaos?
Also if you've got any ideas for realms and/or gods feel free to throw them at me, I might scream profanities at you because you are the son/daughter of a hamster but go ahead and tell me anyways. I've got a handful thought up but thirteen seems like a lot. I'm looking at you Tray.

Some gods place a great amount of importance on worship, withholding or promising blessings for it. Others see it as secondary to their roles and desires. Others still ignore it all together in preference of other means of gathering divinity, such as war or death.
Terrestrial Gods also have varied personalities and motivations within the world. Some realize that they are part of a larger machination, an order that must be preserved for the good of all, and so regulate their roles. Many only exercise their desires or manifest their powers, or plot and scheme against other gods. A few live their eternal lives content with their station and yet feeling no responsibility to it. Most gods believe themselves as the highest authority.
Demigods –
Much like one would expect a demigod is the child of a mortal and a god. They possess and produce large amounts of divinity, so much so that at times their powers can rival gods. They are stronger, faster and even in many cases more intelligent than most mortals; however they can’t use magic or other mortal arts. They can, however, create, acquire, and wield legendary weapons and arts.
Legendary Weapons refer to artifacts or weapons that are forged or imbued with large amounts of divinity, giving them unique attributes and abilities. These weapons can be acquired from gods or forged through their own divinity, providing they can acquire the power. These weapons feed off their divinity, and normal mortals and gods alike are unable to wield them because of this. Using these weapons some demigods can even rival the terrestrial gods.
Demigods possess a mortal body, however, and are capable of dying. Every demigod meets one of two fates, they either die or ascend. Most die in battle or in some comical manner, after asserting their heroism and greatness they are often times slain by the very people they tried to save or allow their hubris to get the best of them. A few simply fade away with old age. Every once in a while though a demigod ascends, their acquired divinity being great enough for them to imprint their entire being onto it and leave behind their mortal coil to become a god.
Mortals –
Mortals are mortals, small and fragile species that exist in each realm. They far outnumber gods and demigods, and through ingenuity, spirit and effort they have survived in cruel and unforgiving worlds and shaped it far more than either. Mortals possess a variety of abilities known as the mortal arts. These abilities are ones gained through years of study, effort, and requiring skill, and vary from realm to realm.
These abilities, often times called magic, function by the rules of the world around them. Thus they become unusable in any realm other than their own unless the person uses a familiar, a being who is made from or represents the essence of the world itself. These familiars not only boost a person’s ability in their own world but allow for them to use their brand of magic off world. The process for making a familiar is complex and very difficult, however more mature practitioners will often time make familiars for novices to help guide them. Although each realm has different magic they all have familiars.
Even with a familiar present magic will be weaker in a realm that is not its own. Because of this most studiers of magic that have managed to traverse beyond their home with their magic have not been able to return, and studies involving it are rare.
Although a mortal is weaker than a god their magic is often times a much more effective weapon against a fate operative than even a deity.
Fate –
Members of FATE use mostly science to operate, magic not existing in their realm. Because of this they are more likely to use machines and guns in their own world, and have sent probes and satellites out into Chaos. They also possess the End Gate, a gate that can temporarily be used to open and close pathways into the realms. Usually they travel through the realms in ships that can house a small team that can cloak itself. The ships can transport a person into or out of a realm from within certain proximity, and so it usually stays outside of the realm it is trying to enter.
Active field operative of FATE can also use a Longinus, which has been implanted into their right arm. It takes the form of a small gem and several black veins running across the hand, down each finger and up the arm to the elbow. Upon activating it will produce a weapon of some sort (I should have more information about it somewhere) which can nullify divinity and thus allow the user to fight even the most powerful of gods. The conditions for using it are complicated, however a person who can use magic can’t use the Longinus, and so most members of FATE are the magically impaired.
Despite FATE originating in the first realm they have recruited candidates for Longinus from every other discovered realm at some point. Their primary objective is to eliminate any dimensional gods that manage to infiltrate the worlds, preferably while remaining undetected or without affecting the world too much. Because of this they usually use disguises or aliases, although anybody who is actually compatible with Longinus will be able to sense the weapon itself, even when it is within another person.
Creators (not playable)–
This title is given to any entity whose divinity is high enough to create a realm. Theoretically anything and anyone can become a creator, whether they are mortal, demigod or either type of god, providing that they can acquire the divinity. Currently no creators are present within any realm and aside from vague legends or the testimony of the eldest of gods nothing is known about them. Perhaps the answer lies somewhere deep within Chaos?
The sweet smell of vanilla lingered in the air. It was familiar, nostalgic, warm and comforting. Yet it was nothing more than a distraction, so Shiro ignored it as she let a deep breath pass out of her lips. Waiting for a few moments she inhaled yet another breath of sweet air, blocking out the world around her. Her focus centered on her chakra, she felt it flow through her body like a stream. Slowly she brought it up, feeling it rise from her core. It seeped off of her skin gently and spread into the air, into the scent. Even still she could feel it as it continued to spread out on the smoke and unseen particles in the air. Finally it touched an unlit brown stick that she felt instead of saw, and with a violet spark that incense lit aflame while the smell of vanilla vanished. It was quickly replaced by the scent of lavender.
Letting out another breath the young girl let her chakra recede back to her core. Taking in another breath and ignoring the subtle scent she started the process over again. From the outside she looked to be meditating in a closed off room, with no windows or doors. About five feet away from her, placed in a circle, were five long sticks of incense. Although only one was burning all had evidence of having been lit, and whenever she would light a new one the one that had previously burned had went out. Lighting and extinguishing these again and again was her training, her meditation. Sitting with her legs crossed and her eyes closed she let her chakra spread out over the scent yet again, searching for her next target rather than trying to remember where it was. Sometimes her Mother would move them or remove one in order to test her, insisting that memorizing was cheating.
"Shiro." The voice that spoke her name was so not unpleasant. Most would even describe it as beautiful, but Shiro cringed upon hearing it. Opening her eyes she saw her mother standing over her. Her Mother's voice was peaceful, yet distant. Patient, and yet deprived of feeling, passion, or affection. "The Madam has called for you. Gather your things; she has a mission for you."
"Yes Mother." Shiro said obediently. Without waiting for anything else her mother turned and left the room. No good luck or good bye left her lips. Although she wouldn't admit it this bothered Shiro, or rather Shiro had no one she could admit this too. Shiro waved her hand in front of the burning incense, which had a violet ember slowly eating at it. That ember quickly and silently died.
Her things were easy to grab, most of it was held in individual pouches already prepared for travel and held in the same room. She was out of her house in minutes, stepping into the clear bright day. Too bright, in her opinion, but they often were when you had spent all of your day inside to this point. Shiro let out a tired sigh as she realized that she might be on her way to being a shut in. Despite being very, very well versed in social etiquette she had no social life to speak of. A twinge of guilt stopped her heart for a half beat as she remembered that she didn't have the right to complain.
Miserably she made her way through the familiar town. As one might expect the grass village was located in grassland, a plain that had grass around its edges. The houses were made of stone and brick, as opposed to wood. Aside from some planted for decoration within the city there weren't any trees nearby, which made hiding all the harder. The village had its defenses but it didn't look like much when compared to the great villages. In fact it was almost embarrassing how small and insignificant it seemed. The village was unassuming yet hiding in that mundane appearance countless threats and secrets. Shiro liked to see it like that, although that was a bit presumptuous.
The Madam's chambers looked more like a city council than the office of their leader. At least from the outside, once a person walked inside there were greeted by darkness adorned by countless shimmering lights. Gems and glass, that glowed on their own, the entire building had them intermediately strewn about. Around the walls there was a flower garden held about three or four feet off the ground. There were several flowers planted within, yet none ever bloomed.
Ahead were several more closed plots containing flower gardens, and placed in them were glittering gems. How they glittered considering the room had no windows or discernible source of light was strange. It also raised the question of how the flowers grew, but despite the lack of sunlight they seemed to grow healthily. There was a stone path leading towards the center of the room, which had a single tree with red and green and blue gems hanging from its branches and several glowing white flowers blooming on it. It offered a pale, meager light.
Sitting in a cross legged position was an old woman, and standing in front of her was a child younger than Shiro, although she couldn’t see who it was she had a good idea.
Shiro started down the path with a confident stride. As she passed each garden the flowers in it bloomed, revealing their glowing white petals. Despite her projected confidence the walk seemed to take forever, but she finally reached the two. Shiro respectfully bowed to the Madam, the older woman adorned in robes of white and red. Her attire was almost ceremonial, but her position was revered.
Shiro then bowed to the child, hiding her reluctance. The child had short black hair and was dressed as most typical jounin were, a vest, headband, ect. She was only twelve, and yet she was one of the most respected shinobi in the village, and Shiro’s instructor. She was also the granddaughter of the Madam.
“N..no, you don’t have to…” The child said too late, her fluster showing. Despite her abilities and rank she was still only a child. “Umm… right, today we have called you here because we have a mission for you.”
After the child’s brief attempt at professionalism the room remained silent. Shiro waited for the details, and quickly became aware that nobody was speaking up but was in too important of company to say anything. Several long awkward moments passed before the old woman finally broke the silence.
“Did you want to tell her the details, dear?” The Madam said with a smile.
“I thought you were going to Grandma!” The child protested with an immature voice before regaining her composure. “Right, earlier today the Shukaku’s flow vanished. Your mission will be to infiltrate Konohana and…”
The girl proceeded to give Shiro the details of her mission, some involving information that she shouldn’t be aware of yet. The girl, the next heir of the revered and mysterious Dharma clan, had an authority that rivaled the Kage’s within the grass village. This applied even more towards her mother, the current kage, and the old woman who was simply called the Kage. Within this village that family was treated as royalty, as near divinity even.
The meeting lasted for only thirty minutes or so. It was a dangerous mission, frighteningly dangerous, but her teacher had vouched for her. Besides she couldn’t let this chance pass, this was what Shiro had been training for. If she completed this mission then her family would gain a great deal of recognition. All she had to do was not get caught, and not mess up this mission. With her skills she couldn’t see herself losing, infiltrating Konohana would be a breeze. Even though they were likely going to be on high alert now and more xenophobic than usual, if it was her then she could do it.
At least that is what she told herself.
Letting out another breath the young girl let her chakra recede back to her core. Taking in another breath and ignoring the subtle scent she started the process over again.

Biography:
Shiro was born into a family with a rich and important tradition. If Shiro had been given a dime every time she had been told this growing up then she would be able to retire by now. Her mother insisted that they were proud kunoichi with a long history in the village. It didn’t take long for Shiro to find out that most other people viewed her mother’s clan in a different light.
Shiro started her training when she was five. This training consisted of meditation, singing, acting, cosmetics, various etiquette and learning about the culture and habits of several different regions. As soon as she entered the academy she was also pressured to get good grades there. Shortly after she turned eight she was also trained in tantojutsu and marksmanship. Despite this she actually managed to make casual friends in school, although she never had time to hang out with them after school.
Her Father was barely better than her Mother though. He would smile at her and praise her, but he would always tell her that she needed to keep trying and always seemed to side with her Mother. Perhaps he was just trying to protect his wife’s pride, or maybe he was trying to look out for Shiro’s future, at the time Shiro wasn’t able to consider either of these possibilities. Although she liked her father more than her mother she felt like neither of them could understand her, and began to resent the pressure that was placed on her.
It was during a rainy night when she was twelve and wasn’t allowed to go to a friend’s slumber party because she had training that she exploded. She let out a teary rant before taking off in the rain without waiting for a response. Angry and confused she ran blindly. When she finally ran out of breath she was in front of a flood ditch filled with rushing water. Not having anywhere to go anyways Shiro sat down on the edge and started crying there.
Her Father found her at this place. It was dark, and raining, and the ground was wet. When Shiro panicked and bolted up to run or something she slipped and fell into the raging waters. Without hesitation her father valiantly dived in after her and managed to grab hold of her. After slamming against a wall several times and fighting to keep the two of them above water her father managed to pull them both out.
He injured one of his legs during the incident, however, and that ended his career as a shinobi. After the incident he required a crutch to get around as well. Despite this he never seemed mad or upset about it. It might have been better if he had been angry about it. The guilt she felt and her mother’s passive aggressive comments silenced any resentment she had about her training.
After the incident Shiro redoubled her efforts. Driven by guilt she poured herself into her studies, training, to the point where she suddenly cut off all relations with her friends to devote her time to her studies. By the time she was fourteen she graduated the academy at the top of her class and easily became a genin.
Jutsu List:
Incense Techniques – The clan creates incenses or perfumes through special techniques that can then have various fun effects when exposed to chakra or inhaled by an opponent. These techniques not only function as a medium for subtle genjutsu to be employed but also can be used to drug or subdue enemies. Most scents contain a sedative effect once activated, which makes dispelling genjutsu much more difficult while increasing a ninja’s susceptibility to it. All of the products held by the Tsubaki clan are harmless until activated by their unique chakra.
Meditation Technique, Incense Chakra – This is a unique and well-guarded method of producing special chakra that will activate their techniques. Despite it being unique to their clan it is not a bloodline limit, and can be learned by anyone with the proper training and conditions, although the methods are only known by the Tsubaki clan. It also neutralizes the effects of the scent techniques on the user.
Incense Release, Invisible Lighter – This barely qualified as a jutsu technique lights up an incense by channeling one’s chakra through it. As they burn their smell will spread far faster and further than usual incense.
Incense Release, Slumber – Produces a scent that has a tranquilizer effect on anyone nearby. It also acts for a dream manipulation genjutsu, allowing the user to manipulate a person’s dreams while they are under.
Incense Release, Invigoration – Awakens those under the effects of slumber as well as giving any who smell it a boost in energy and making them more alert and aware. It can be used with a Limit Release Genjutsu, which can temporarily loosen or lift the body’s limiters while suppressing pain and fatigue. Overuse of this is now recommended.
Incense Release, Slow – This incense affects the brain’s perception of time, causing anyone who is caught by this to become disoriented and have gaps in their perceptions. The genjutsu associated with this one accentuates it by allowing the user to shut off an enemy’s senses and perception of time. Because of its disorienting nature it is somewhat more difficult to stop than other genjutsu.
Incense Release, Truth – Much like one would expect this incense works something like a truth serum, but tends to make a person tell you more than you would usually want to know. In fact a person under the effects of this scent becomes very talkative about everything; even if they will honestly answer any question asked they will also tend to talk one’s ear off.
Incense Release, Sensual – Essentially it makes a person who smells it feel affection or love towards everyone around them, sometimes very intensely. To the point that even most trained ninja would betray their country just to protect a person, while also giving them a pleasant feeling. It also makes a person more suggestible. A special genjutsu allows for this love to be honed in on certain people while excluding others.
Incense Release, Suppression – A special scent that hinders the body’s ability to mold and manipulate chakra, hampering most ninja’s techniques. It also slows down the body, making most ninja feel sluggish and tiring out quickly. This incense possesses little smell, so most people won’t have a good grasp of what is going on until it is too late.
Perfume Release – Perfumes are scents that are worn by the user and near constantly activated. They function much like incense but last longer and are usually more passive than active. Only one scent can be activated at a time, and when the user wants to switch they must ‘burn off’ the old perfume with a burst of purple chakra.
Perfume Release, Hidden – Anyone who smells this will become less aware of their surroundings and have a subtle genjutsu placed on them that dissuades them from noticing whoever is wearing the perfume. This perfume can be used with the not so subtle Self Erasure Genjutsu which will briefly make the target unable to think about or recognize the presence of the user, but aside from a moment of brief confusion this genjutsu is pretty easy to detect and dispel.
Perfume Release, Attraction – This perfume is a more focused version of sensual, making the wearer seem more appealing and attractive. It also makes both males and females deeply aroused and vulnerable. It is supposed to be used for infiltrations and assassinations involving seduction, although some have used it for more…shallow endeavors.
Perfume Release, Strength – Makes the user seem stronger than they really are, to the point of being intimidating or awe inspiring for no logical reason. This scent makes others more cautious around the user, as well as drawing their attention to the wearer to the point that they might drop their guard around others. This perfume can also cause problems with those who lean more towards the fight side of the fight or flight response though.
Perfume Release, Harmless – Makes the user seem harmless or non-threatening, almost to the point of being ignored. Although not quite as strong as hidden it makes the user seem unremarkable and erases any concerns or sense of danger someone might have around them. The wearer becomes a background character to anyone who smells it.
Genjutsu Dream Manipulation – Can only be used with the incense slumber, it allows for the user to witness and manipulate the target’s dreams while the incense is burning. Because the person is dreaming this technique is hard to escape from.
Genjutsu Limit Release – Can only be used with the incense invigorate, it allows for the user to briefly unlock the limiters on the target’s body as well as suppress pain and fatigue. The user will be able to fight harder and faster than usual, however this also places a lot of strain on the body that will be felt afterwards. It is also not good for the body in the long run as it places a lot of undue stress on the body.
Genjutsu Time Theft – Can only be used with the incense slow, it allows for the user to force the target into a ‘blank’ state where they can no longer perceive anything for about up to roughly two minutes. This requires a great deal of concentration(to the point of being unable to move), and the user will be unable to focus on anything else while this is going on, if their concentration is broken even slightly then the person will snap back to the still disorienting state of Slow. Although the recovery time differs from person to person the average user (Shiro included) will have to rest for at least five minutes before attempting this technique again, providing that they are in good condition and have a quiet place to recuperate.
Genjutsu Love Shift – Can only be used with the incense sensual, it allows for the affection that is made by sensual to be directed at only who the user wants it to be directed at.
Genjutsu Self Erasure – Can only be used with perfume hidden, it causes a brief and blunt point where a person is unable to think about or acknowledge the user’s presence. While it can be used on several people at once it can only be used on people who are focused on said person despite the effects of hidden, and even without dispelling it the technique will only last for a few moments. During these moments the person will forget about her and be unable to ‘recognize’ that she is there, similar to not seeing something in plain sight. This technique can also be removed by shock, pain and self-preservation though, so attacking a person suddenly would likely jar them out of it, as would intense pain or sudden loud noises. It is usually used as a means of escape.
Extract Release, Jinchuriki – A special scent that, when inhaled, causes the tailed beast inside a Jinchuriki to ‘fall asleep’ as well as making the Jinchuriki tired. It has an extreme calming effect on the Jinchuriki that, after a few minutes of exposure, will probably make them pass out like they were hit with a tranquilizer dart. More immediate though is the fact that they will be unable to draw on the chakra or abilities of their tailed beasts. The extract, although having a powerful smell, must be brought up fairly close to the Jinchuriki for it to have effect.
Kekkai Genki: ---
Other Info(Anything about your character that you deem noteworthy.): Her personality tends to be formal and dismissive most of the time, but she is also a skilled actress and has been trained to tailor her personality and appearance as needed. Her fighting style relies on this rather than on open battle so she usually tends to try and make others do her dirty work while staying back in a supportive role, occasionally setting up a trap to finish off the enemy. Despite her attitude she is driven to become a successful shinobi and make everyone acknowledge her family, although not so much that she would kill a person. She can also be extremely haughty and petty when provoked.

After slamming against a wall several times and fighting to keep the two of them above water her father managed to pull them both out.
He injured one of his legs during the incident, however, and that ended his career as a shinobi. After the incident he required a crutch to get around as well. Despite this he never seemed mad or upset about it. It might have been better if he had been angry about it. The guilt she felt and her mother’s passive aggressive comments silenced any resentment she had about her training.
After the incident Shiro redoubled her efforts. Driven by guilt she poured herself into her studies, training, to the point where she suddenly cut off all relations with her friends to devote her time to her studies. By the time she was fourteen she graduated the academy at the top of her class and easily became a genin.
Jutsu List:
Incense Techniques – The clan creates incenses or perfumes through special techniques that can then have various fun effects when exposed to chakra or inhaled by an opponent. These techniques not only function as a medium for subtle genjutsu to be employed but also can be used to drug or subdue enemies. Most scents contain a sedative effect once activated, which makes dispelling genjutsu much more difficult while increasing a ninja’s susceptibility to it. All of the products held by the Tsubaki clan are harmless until activated by their unique chakra.
Meditation Technique, Incense Chakra – This is a unique and well-guarded method of producing special chakra that will activate their techniques. Despite it being unique to their clan it is not a bloodline limit, and can be learned by anyone with the proper training and conditions, although the methods are only known by the Tsubaki clan. It also neutralizes the effects of the scent techniques on the user.
Incense Release, Invisible Lighter – This barely qualified as a jutsu technique lights up an incense by channeling one’s chakra through it. As they burn their smell will spread far faster and further than usual incense.
Incense Release, Slumber – Produces a scent that has a tranquilizer effect on anyone nearby. It also acts for a dream manipulation genjutsu, allowing the user to manipulate a person’s dreams while they are under.
Incense Release, Invigoration – Awakens those under the effects of slumber as well as giving any who smell it a boost in energy and making them more alert and aware. It can be used with a Limit Release Genjutsu, which can temporarily loosen or lift the body’s limiters while suppressing pain and fatigue. Overuse of this is now recommended.
Incense Release, Slow – This incense affects the brain’s perception of time, causing anyone who is caught by this to become disoriented and have gaps in their perceptions. The genjutsu associated with this one accentuates it by allowing the user to shut off an enemy’s senses and perception of time. Because of its disorienting nature it is somewhat more difficult to stop than other genjutsu.
Incense Release, Truth – Much like one would expect this incense works something like a truth serum, but tends to make a person tell you more than you would usually want to know. In fact a person under the effects of this scent becomes very talkative about everything; even if they will honestly answer any question asked they will also tend to talk one’s ear off.
Incense Release, Sensual – Essentially it makes a person who smells it feel affection or love towards everyone around them, sometimes very intensely. To the point that even most trained ninja would betray their country just to protect a person, while also giving them a pleasant feeling. It also makes a person more suggestible. A special genjutsu allows for this love to be honed in on certain people while excluding others.
Incense Release, Suppression – A special scent that hinders the body’s ability to mold and manipulate chakra, hampering most ninja’s techniques. It also slows down the body, making most ninja feel sluggish and tiring out quickly. This incense possesses little smell, so most people won’t have a good grasp of what is going on until it is too late.
Perfume Release – Perfumes are scents that are worn by the user and near constantly activated. They function much like incense but last longer and are usually more passive than active. Only one scent can be activated at a time, and when the user wants to switch they must ‘burn off’ the old perfume with a burst of purple chakra.
Perfume Release, Hidden – Anyone who smells this will become less aware of their surroundings and have a subtle genjutsu placed on them that dissuades them from noticing whoever is wearing the perfume. This perfume can be used with the not so subtle Self Erasure Genjutsu which will briefly make the target unable to think about or recognize the presence of the user, but aside from a moment of brief confusion this genjutsu is pretty easy to detect and dispel.
Perfume Release, Attraction – This perfume is a more focused version of sensual, making the wearer seem more appealing and attractive. It also makes both males and females deeply aroused and vulnerable. It is supposed to be used for infiltrations and assassinations involving seduction, although some have used it for more…shallow endeavors.
Perfume Release, Strength – Makes the user seem stronger than they really are, to the point of being intimidating or awe inspiring for no logical reason. This scent makes others more cautious around the user, as well as drawing their attention to the wearer to the point that they might drop their guard around others. This perfume can also cause problems with those who lean more towards the fight side of the fight or flight response though.
Perfume Release, Harmless – Makes the user seem harmless or non-threatening, almost to the point of being ignored. Although not quite as strong as hidden it makes the user seem unremarkable and erases any concerns or sense of danger someone might have around them. The wearer becomes a background character to anyone who smells it.
Genjutsu Dream Manipulation – Can only be used with the incense slumber, it allows for the user to witness and manipulate the target’s dreams while the incense is burning. Because the person is dreaming this technique is hard to escape from.
Genjutsu Limit Release – Can only be used with the incense invigorate, it allows for the user to briefly unlock the limiters on the target’s body as well as suppress pain and fatigue. The user will be able to fight harder and faster than usual, however this also places a lot of strain on the body that will be felt afterwards. It is also not good for the body in the long run as it places a lot of undue stress on the body.
Genjutsu Time Theft – Can only be used with the incense slow, it allows for the user to force the target into a ‘blank’ state where they can no longer perceive anything for about up to roughly two minutes. This requires a great deal of concentration(to the point of being unable to move), and the user will be unable to focus on anything else while this is going on, if their concentration is broken even slightly then the person will snap back to the still disorienting state of Slow. Although the recovery time differs from person to person the average user (Shiro included) will have to rest for at least five minutes before attempting this technique again, providing that they are in good condition and have a quiet place to recuperate.
Genjutsu Love Shift – Can only be used with the incense sensual, it allows for the affection that is made by sensual to be directed at only who the user wants it to be directed at.
Genjutsu Self Erasure – Can only be used with perfume hidden, it causes a brief and blunt point where a person is unable to think about or acknowledge the user’s presence. While it can be used on several people at once it can only be used on people who are focused on said person despite the effects of hidden, and even without dispelling it the technique will only last for a few moments. During these moments the person will forget about her and be unable to ‘recognize’ that she is there, similar to not seeing something in plain sight. This technique can also be removed by shock, pain and self-preservation though, so attacking a person suddenly would likely jar them out of it, as would intense pain or sudden loud noises. It is usually used as a means of escape.
Extract Release, Jinchuriki – A special scent that, when inhaled, causes the tailed beast inside a Jinchuriki to ‘fall asleep’ as well as making the Jinchuriki tired. It has an extreme calming effect on the Jinchuriki that, after a few minutes of exposure, will probably make them pass out like they were hit with a tranquilizer dart. More immediate though is the fact that they will be unable to draw on the chakra or abilities of their tailed beasts. The extract, although having a powerful smell, must be brought up fairly close to the Jinchuriki for it to have effect.
Kekkai Genki: ---
Other Info(Anything about your character that you deem noteworthy.): Her personality tends to be formal and dismissive most of the time, but she is also a skilled actress and has been trained to tailor her personality and appearance as needed. Her fighting style relies on this rather than on open battle so she usually tends to try and make others do her dirty work while staying back in a supportive role, occasionally setting up a trap to finish off the enemy. Despite her attitude she is driven to become a successful shinobi and make everyone acknowledge her family, although not so much that she would kill a person. She can also be extremely haughty and petty when provoked.
