Name:Hīringu Raito Nickname/Alias:Pesuto ishi (Plague Doctor) Gender:Male Age: 18 Sexuality: Heterosexual Village: Konohagakure Rank:Chuunin Chakra Nature:Water Release Poison Release
Appearance:
Personality: Raito is a somewhat reserved person who tries to apply logic to everything he does while trying to keep his emotions out of the decision making process. He is not an emotionless drone by any means, but emotions tend to be rather tricky things for him to handle properly. He is someone who if asked how many friends he has will only list a few names, but those few friends he will treasure until the day he dies.
History: Hīringu Raito was born to the relatively young Hiringu clan a few months after the clan officially joined Konohagakure, making him the first member of the clan to be born as a member of Konoha. Being the first member of the clan born within Konoha's walls, the clan gave Raito a lot more importance then he would have otherwise have gotten due to the fact that he would be the bar in which future Hiringu members would be judged by their peers.
Raito was never a social butterfly and didn't really have the natural charisma that other clans might have felt the need to install in their members, but he never did anything that reflected poorly on the clan and while he had only a few friends he largely avoided being considered anti-social. As time passed and the Hiringu bloodline started to develop in Raito during his years at the academy, Raito himself was granted the right to wear one of the clan's outfits in order to get used to it for extended periods of time while sparing his classmates the sight (and smell) that came with the bloodline.
Graduating near the top of his class, Raito was assigned to a fairly balanced genin team with a fairly experienced teacher. After two years of training and missions Raito managed to pass the Chuunin exams, earning the rank of Chuunin and starting to enhance the training of his bloodline while also continuing his training in medical jutsu. After several years of training as a Chuunin and reaching the age of 18, Raito made the decision to test himself by signing up for the SETU exams in order to see if he was good enough to join.
Other: The outfit that all Hiringu have adopted to wearing since joining Konoha is something of a masterpiece of design; Offering the wearer a surprising amount of protection and maneuverability, it's real genius lays with the filtering system that is found through out the whole suit. At the first sign of charka being channeled, the filters turn off and allow the user to unleash the full range of their poisonous abilities without hindrance while out of combat blocking out the wearer's horrific scent.
This also has the unexpected benefit of aiding in the detection of genjutsu; The invading charka also triggers the filters and turns them off. More then once has Raito alerted his team of genjutsu (And sometimes broken them out of it) because of his painfully foul stench of rotting corpse.
Description: A series of empty glass vials of various shapes and sizes. Appearance: A series of ordinary looking empty glass vials of various shapes and sizes.
Description: A seemingly normal cane that almost all members of the Hiringu seemed to carry with them, in it's normal state only the most observant of people would notice that there seems to be more to this cane then meets the eye. Sufficiently deadly as a rigid bladed cane, but also serves as a whip when its blade is split into many.
Appearance:
=========================================
Special Traits: -Raito's training in genjutsu is limited to the detection and dispelling of genjutsu. -Raito's Taijustu is definitely his strongest attribute, even when used alone it is at high chuunin levels. When enhanced by his threaded cane and his Kekkei Genkai he can fight above his weight surprisingly easily. -Raito is trained in medical ninjutsu.
Kekkei Genkai: The Hiringu clan appeared 75 years ago and is still considered a somewhat young clan. Rumors abound to how they came about, but one of the more popular ones was that the founder of the Hiringu clan fulfilled some kind of pact with some breed of decay demon in order to secure their Kekkei Genkai.
The Hiringu clan is blessed with an immunity to harmful substances; Be it poison, venom, virus, disease or plague it does not seem to do them any harm. In fact, they actively seek such things out in order to absorb it into their bodies. The Hiringu clan absorbs harmful substances or illnesses and influences their bodies with its harmful properties, giving them a source to draw their clan jutsus from and naturally making their bodily fluids toxic to those outside of the clan.
There is a price to be paid for these benefits however; As the given Hiringu member starts to absorb illnesses and poisons, their body starts to decay and rot until they are to look (And smell) like a bloated, pus filled, sore covered corpse that has been given the chance to rot in a dump environment for a while. While this transformation doesn't harm or hamper the Hiringu physically (And often times gives them an edge in melee combat. It's hard for a shinobi to keep their head and cough up a fireball when they are being attacked by what appears to be a real life zombie and trying to keep their lunch down due to the horrific smell) they take a major hit socially. There is a reason that they are almost never seen outside of their clan compound outside of their suits.
========================================= Jutsus:
Name of Technique:Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu - Water Clone Technique Type of Jutsu: Supplementary Rank:C Range:- Nature Type:Water Release Description:The Water Clone Technique is similar to the Shadow Clone Technique except it creates clones out of water that have one-tenth of the original person's power. Like other solid clone techniques, the clones can be used to perform tasks the user is unable or unwilling to do for themselves. The range of the clone is limited however, as it can not travel very far from the original body without losing control. Like other clone techniques, if the water clones are injured enough they will revert back to normal water. Weakness:Short ranged.
Name of Technique: Suiton:Teppōdama -Water Release: Gunshot Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu, Offensive Rank: C Range:- Nature Type: Water Release Description:The user kneads chakra, and converts it into water, and then spits it out in the form of condensed balls. The high-speed water ball attack possesses just as much power to kill as an actual gunshot. While this is a Water Release technique, it can still be employed someplace where no water is available, which is a great advantage. It is also possible to increase the power of destruction of the spheres themselves by building up the chakra inside of them. The number of bullets is determined while kneading chakra. By taking advantage of gravity, the bullets can brutally increase in power. With a user the size of Gamabunta, the bullets can actually be more like cannonballs, making them much deadlier. Weakness:
Name of Technique: Suijinheki - Water Encampment Wall Type of Jutsu: Defense Rank: B Range: Close (0m ~ 5m) Nature Type: Water Release Description: is a Ninjutsu utilizing the Water Element. The ninja will first do a string of hand seals and then proceed to blow out a jet of water from their mouth to act as a water barrier from incoming attack. Weakness:
Name of Technique:Suiton: Kirigakure no Jutsu - Water Release: Hiding in Mist Technique Type of Jutsu: Supplementary Rank:D Range:- Nature Type:Water Release Description:The Hiding in Mist Technique is a specialty of the ninja from Kirigakure, where one causes a mist to spring forth by lifting up some water from either a pre-existing source or expelled from their mouth, then goes in and out of sight at will from within the pearly-white realm. The mist's thickness is controlled by the amount of chakra kneaded into it. It cannot fool the Byakugan, but, due to the mist being created with the user's chakra, any Sharingan and Rinnegan-user will see the mist coloured by their opponent's chakra, which will effectively hide the user from the dōjutsu. Weakness: Hard to use in dry areas.
Name of Technique:Shōsen Jutsu - Mystical Palm Technique Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu, Medical Ninjutsu, Supplementary Rank:A Range:Short-range Nature Type:- Description:This medical ninjutsu allows the user to speed up the body's natural healing process by sending chakra from their hands into a wound or afflicted body part. This allows the user to heal a patient without the need for medical equipment or surgery, making it very useful on the battlefield. It can be used to treat both external and internal injuries. It is vital to match the amount of chakra used to the severity of the affliction or injury. This requires a great amount of chakra control, and because of this, only a few highly skilled medical-nin are able to use this technique. Kabuto Yakushi demonstrated the ability to use it a short distance away from the target instead of through direct contact.
Weakness:By sending an excess amount of chakra into the patient's body, the user can overload the patient's normal circulation, trapping them in a comatose state.
Name of Technique:Swamp Healers Due Reward. Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu, Medical, Supplementary Rank:C Range:Short ranged. Nature Type:- Description:A jutsu that requires physical contact with either a poisoned or ill target, the user willing removes the poison or illness from the victim and takes it into their own body in order to relieve the victim of their suffering. While this won't cure more advanced (IE Deadly) poisons or diseases it will greatly weaken them and buy the victim time for a cure. Weakness:The main weakness of this jutsu is that the user is willing infecting themselves with a often times deadly poison or disease for the sake of someone else.
Name of Technique:Doku Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu- Poison Water Clone Jutsu Type of Jutsu: (nin/tai/gen) (offensive, defensive, supplementary) Type of Jutsu: Supplementary Rank:B Range:- Nature Type:Water Release and Poison Release Description: An extension of the Water Clone Jutsu, instead of using pure water the user infuses the water of the clone with poisonous or diseased water instead. This combination can increase how dangerous the clone is due to the inherit risk of being poisoned or infected that comes with destroying the clone in melee or worse, making it evaporate. Weakness: Not only does this require a source of tainted water, but the clone's tainted payload is just as dangerous to the user or allies as it is to an enemy.
Name of Technique:Doku Suiton: Kirigakure no Jutsu - Poison Water Release: Hiding in Mist Technique Type of Jutsu: Supplementary Rank:A Range:- Nature Type:Water and Poison Release Description: One of the clans more dangerous techniques, the poisonous version of the Hiding in Mist Technique is similar to the original apart from one major and important difference; The mists themselves are infused with poison and disease that can be breathed in or seep in through open wounds. Weakness: This is not a jutsu that can be used with allies in range unless they have taken measures to protect themselves from the poisonous nature of the jutsu. If the user is not immune to the poisons or illnesses that are in the mists then they are as much at risk as the enemy are.
Name of Technique:Doku Suiton:Teppōdama - Poison Water Release: Gunshot Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu, Offensive Rank:B Range:- Nature Type:Water and Poison release Description: An extension of the Water Release: Gunshot jutsu, but instead of using normal, pure water tainted water is used instead, adding to its offensive power. Weakness:Not only does this require a source of tainted water, but the additional tainted payload is just as dangerous to the user or allies as it is to an enemy.
Name of Technique: Poison Water Death Shroud Type of Jutsu: Defense Rank: B Range: Close (0m ~ 5m) Nature Type: Water and Poison Release Description: The user releases a toxic mist like cloud around themselves, giving them a poisonous shroud that will make melee engagements a lot more dangerous to the opponent/opponents due to it either being breathed in or seeping into open wounds. Weakness:Not only does this require a source of tainted water, but the additional tainted payload is just as dangerous to the user or allies as it is to an enemy.
Feel free to skip my post this time around. Not going to be doing much more then sleeping in a dark corner anyway. If you need to get the others doing stuff then by all means focus on that.
Private Pedal, Private Beast and PFC Eyes... A part of Andrew had to wonder what kind of nickname he would have been given if his first squad had lasted longer...
Shaking his head and driving off some memories that he would rather not have to think about right now, Andrew nodded his head to each member of his new squad as they were introduced out of polite acknowledgement. As their 'tank' was pointed out, Andrew seemed to narrow his gaze as he examined it. "Well... it beats walking. That's about the only bright side here."
Sure, making and maintaining a tank cost money and time but shouldn't the people in charge have foreseen the need to have a strong armored backbone to support their ground forces in the event that one of the factions of the war decided to take a shot at them? Anyone with foresight would have ensured that they had a healthy supply of the damn things then.
Still, you got what you were given so you just had to suck it up and work with what you got.
"Probably not, but if you can keep me from getting hit for a couple of practice shots so I can get the hang of it I'll see what I can do..." Turning to look at Private Beast, PFC Macdonald seemed to consider something for a moment before a grin appeared on his face. "Private Beast, you look like someone who knows how to use a machine gun. And if there is one thing we need right now if we're going to do this right it's something to make their infantry keep their heads down or risk losing them. You sure you're not going to join in the fun?"
As he sat and watched the training exercise start, Andrew instantly lamented the fact that he did not really have the means of getting a closer look at the 'battle' that was about to take place. Something about there being a limited supply of binoculars or something. So instead he was forced to listen in on the commentary provided by what seemed to be a tank crew without a tank nearby. While watching them bicker for a time was rather entertaining, it was also somewhat informative... such as the fact that they were at St. Courain.
Turning to look at them closely, Andrew tried to recall if he had heard anything about what role the armored division at St. Courain had done; He knew that the infantry had run at the first sign of trouble but didn't recall any mention of what any tanks in the area had been doing at the time. Considering that they were sitting near him instead of either being in a cell somewhere, lined up against a stone wall and being offered a blindfold or being offered the chance to redeem themselves or die trying it was safe to assume that they had actually fought to some extent.
Satisfied that he didn't need to murder them in their ship, Andrew was about to go back to his futile attempts to watch the exercise when the conversation turned towards hijacking their future squads tank and joining the battle. All they seemed to need was someone who could work a lance...
Getting up and walking over to them, a playful smile appeared on his face as he offered them a salute. "Private First Class Macdonald, formally of the 9th Militia Regiment, 5th Company reporting for duty. Give me a lance and I'll be more then willing to be your gunner. So are we doing this or what?"
Well potentially the Karilac could drive the Nur'Xal ships away from their positions over the fortress. If they manage, no amount of groundside defenses can stand against heavy orbital bombardment. Granted It'd be a though slug but the results could be worth it for the Seraphim and their alies. They'd best do it soon though since I fear the Nur'Xal won't be on the defensive for much longer.
Meanwhile the Kimo will just quietly sit on the sidelines and be about their usual buisness.
While this is somewhat true, you also have to consider the 'Risk vs Reward' factor. While it is true that driving away the Nur'xal fleet and orbital bombarding their ground fortress may be beneficial to the Seraphim's, what do the Karilac really get out of it? The Seraphim's are a pre-space race that don't really seem to have much to offer as a vassal/client race. Sure, offering one of the factions of their war supplies and advice is easy enough to do because its low risk with pretty good returns, but armed intervention is a whole different ball game.
The Nur'Xal are only here in force because of religious reasons. The actual planetary resources mean absolutely nothing to them beyond the fact that there is a race that needs to be enlightened here.
It's not uncommon for tabletops to have several of the same tropes in one group. My friend runs a DnD setting and literally, they all play barbarians. It makes the entire thing absolutely hilarious. A bunch of brutes trying to figure out a complicated puzzle. Lul.
Also... - pokes Bright_Ops -
I sees you there.
*Pokes back.* Indeed. But at this moment there isn't much for me to say/do at the moment. Expect sleep.
Just to clear it up, Fortress Blood Harvest is being made on the planet itself somewhat distanced from other settlements. I'm not saying that the youngest brother can't send agents to try and spy on what's going on, but after seven days harassment free to dig in and entrench themselves my boys are going to make such efforts a very hard, highly dangerous operation. Trespassers will be shot, survivors will either be shot, stabbed or taken alive for interrogation/conversion. While the Nur'xal do have some understanding of basic rights, their version of them is somewhat different from the traditional meaning of the term; And they certainly don't apply to the unenlightened.
