Sam

"My Friend, this here is a once-in-lifetime opportunity"

---

Name:Sam Quinn

Nicknames:Sammy Quick, Sam the Man, The Rainmaker, Sam the Closer, Sammy Silverfingers, Sam Money, Sammy Quintuple-your-money (it bears mentioning all of these are nicknames he coined for himself. He's hoping they catch on)

Age: 23

Gender:Male

Appearance: Sam's shorter than average at 5'8", made even worse by his tendency to slouch. He likes to dress flashy, likes bold colors and patterns, but is always keeping an eye on fashion trends. Sam prefers to wear coats even when the weather doesn't call for them, as he needs as many pockets as he can get. Whenever he goes out he always has his sunglasses and a cigarette. Sometimes he doesn't even light the cigarette when he pulls one out, just using to gesticulate he's talking or bite down on when he's thinking intensely.

Personality:Sam's always active, always thinking, quickly, but not necessarily thoroughly. He's the kind of person that's always looking for angle, a leg up on the rest of the world, and is fine with bending the rules a little. He doesn't believe in outright theft or violence, but if he ends up better off because he could think of a better scheme than anyone else, that money is as honest as any other in his book. Money is something he thinks about a lot, not really because he's addicted to spending it (though he will throw some around to make a point), but because it's how he measures himself, how he sees if he's finally amounted to something worthwhile. He's a natural deal maker and superficial charmer, but in terms of actual relationships he prefers to have a few close and loyal ones; he'll always back up someone if they are part of his bunch. For outsiders he's more willing to burn bridges; customer satisfaction ain't money, only money is money. In his personal time he's restless, trying to stay active and disdaining intellectual pursuits, his time at university has left him seeing it as something for people who don't value their money.

Short Biography:Sam's parents were highschool sweethearts, married shortly after graduating from school in New Bark Town. They had a shared love of art and painting, but art wasn't a way to pay the bills. His father got a job at the local aluminum smelting plant helping out with machinery maintenence, while his mother worked odd jobs and sold the occasional painting. Sam didn't have much growing up, but he was happy enough, finding his own ways to have fun and explore the town. When Sam was in elementary school the smelting plant closed and his father was laid off; money became tight and his parents began to quarrel. To this day he can't process it all, but it ended with his parents divorcing and his mother re-marrying.

Mr. Kiyosaki, Sam's new stepfather, was a bigshot in the local real estate scene, not very present in his life but always willing to throw around some money in an attempt to buy some goodwill. With his parents splitting custody, Sam grew frustrated with his Father's poverty and started seeing him as something a model of what not to do. Eventually Sam went off to college, changing majors several times as his interests and ideas changed. While he was away at college, Mr. Kiyosaki divorced his mother and moved on to another wife (his third by now), but he at least had the courtesy to leave some money for Sam to complete his studies. Well, it may have been a courtesy enforced by the divorce judgment, but Sam was grateful for it. After one too many semesters of poor grades (Sam insists his time was better spent "networking" than studying), the university politely asked that he take a semester off to reconsider his commitement. Finding himself back in New Bark Town, Sam wasn't interested in hearing about his biological parents patching things up or his father's new line of work as a wind turbine repairman; he was going to use his new freedom to go out into the world and be somebody. He didn't need any piece of paper to tell he was ready, he knew he was ready now.

Gritty, Dark Pokemon RP -- A Coming of Age Story!

This is something I'm interested in.

Sentaku

The day started at dawn for Kotetsu. He was a farmer first and foremost, and that meant working the farm as soon as he woke up. The only difference for today was that his mother had packed an extra special lunch for him, which he’d look forward to eating when the time was right. At this moment he was standing in the auditorium, reflecting after the Hokage finished her speech. He didn’t know enough about her to have a solid opinion, the Kaneharas stayed away from ninja business for the most part, and ninja business was the lion’s share of the Hokage’s duties. If Kotetsu passed the test this day he’d be spending more time with ninja business, but ultimately it was just a job for him. The Kaneharas were farmers, and Kotetsu always saw himself going back to that some distant day, perhaps buying some more land with the money from being a ninja.

It frustrated him that the written test was first. He did best with things that could be solved with force, being only average at best at intellectual tasks. The only asset he had to help him was his persistence. He had a few minutes before the test started, so he used that time to read over the notes he had taken during class. They were a mess, but there was a lot material on those sheets of paper, plenty for him to study beforehand. He had enough that someone else could join if they wanted, and as far as he knew there was no rule against studying before the test actually began.

Annoyingly, there were some large empty spots in the notes, places where he simply wrote SEE TETSU’S NOTES or TALK TO SATORU ABOUT THIS; his team was great, but there are some times when he thought relying on them too much might actually hurt him. He wasn’t sure if they were there yet, Kotetsu thought he saw Satoru in the crowd but wasn’t sure, and just went back to standing there and flipping through his notes. He tried to actually think about the written test, not daydream about how much better he’d be at the physical portion, because if he didn’t pass this, there would be no second stage for him.

Katsumi's true personality is not her public persona. To those she doesn't know well (especially those who annoy her), she is arrogant and prideful, having little patience for any who question the genius of the Yamato clan's prodigy and always finding subtle ways to demonstrate her standing. Around those who she respects she has a different side, less abrasive but still not actually polite, more of a trickster who is trying to force people to examine things deeper by throwing them out of their comfort zone. She takes to know people and understand them. Katsumi is very much driven by her sense of right and wrong. She always tries to do what she believes is right for someone she care about, not what is easiest or most socially acceptable. Inside, she's conflicted between wanting to help people grow and her own bitterness towards the world, leading to a harshness that conceals more idealistic goals.

_{P E R S O N A L H I S T O R Y}

Katsumi Yamato was born into the fabled Yamato clan of Iwagakure, famed for their scholarly pursuits and their skill on the battlefield. The clan has produced many philosophical and martial treatises, but the most known is the Yamato Encyclopedia of Warfare, their comprehensive manual of the clan's combat technicques, expanded with each generation. Thanks to their reputation, not only have they occupied by the esteemed position of controlling Iwagakure's academy, they have also been trusted advisors to the Tsuchikage. They have only been able to maintain this position through putting their own clan through even more rigorous standards, demanding that they demonstrate proficiency in the core of the curriculum and memorize the text content of the Encyclopedia before they can call themselves full members of the clan. This had become a controversial requirement by Katsumi's time, fewer and fewer of each generation were able to accomplish it, and her father Yasunari even argued for abolishing it, but was overruled by her uncle Yukio. It was his belief that through this relentless drive for perfection they would ensure that the position of Tsuchikage went to a Yamato. Katsumi herself was able to finish the curriculum ahead of schedule, the only Yamato of her generation to do so, and was hailed as a genius for that accomplishment. The clan prepared for an even greater celebration when it was time to choose the next Tsuchikage, the whole village had practically decided that Yukio was the only one worthy to hold the title. Mysteriously, Yukio died before the choice for Tsuchikage was announced, and the position went to a rival clan. No investigation was ever launched into his death, and no explanation was given, but rumors swirled.

After Yukio's death the Yamato family did what they always did, they wrote, they theorized, and they trained. Katsumi threw herself into training even harder than before, and an eerie silence developed around the whole situation among the clan. When asked about his thoughts on the choice for the Tsuchikage, Yasunari was reticent, but expressed the thought that he wished there would be a day when they would not need a Tsuchikage. He longed for a time when all the citizens of Iwagakure could defend themselves and the village against attackers and could stand together as free and equal brothers in arms, not as a hiearchy of the strong hoarding their power over the weak. Such talk was controversial, and only became more controversial when the war broke out. Unusually, the Yamato clan declined to provide many fighters, saying that their greatest value was as teachers, and the village leaders reluctantly agreed, keeping the core of their clan off of the frontlines. Katsumi was hungry for battle but hated the village leadership, leaving her with a dilemma she could not resolve until an envoy from Konoha made a secret deal with her. Joining them was the best revenge she could think of, and the massive payment they offered only sweetened the deal. Not only did she bring a huge cache of valuable information, she became a terrifying fighter on Konoha's side, the one woman artillery barrage known for her blissful calm on the battlefield.

The end of the war forced Katsumi to confront things she had ignored beforehand. Going back to Iwagakure was out of the question, but settling in Konoha proved awkward as well. Now, people were willing to share their true feelings about her betrayal of her home, how it was against the philosophy of the village. They would tolerate her, but she was not trusted enough to be given any power or important responsibilities. She made a few attempts at teaching and quit everytime out of dissatisfaction with the students she instructed, furious that they could not meet her standards. Afterwards, Katsumi retreated to her estate, working on literary pursuits and her own exploration of new jutsus. Over those years she invented the Rasengan, in hopes of finding a powerful jutsu that could be used regardless of elemental affinity, but so far has not found anyone willing to learn the level of Chakra control needed. Her writing has won her acclaim among the intellectual crowd but has had little popular success, the biggest success being her history of the shinobi war compiled from interviews with fellow veterans. In public, she is most often seen playing Go or visiting a bar when they hold a "Name that Jutsu" trivia night, always winning unless a Kaminari is also competing. One particular bet she lost is what led to her latest attempt at teaching Genin, and the past three years have seen several "writing sabbaticals" that may or may not have been attempts to quit before the Hokage stepped in to hold her to her promise.

_{C H A R A C T E R D E V E L O P M E N T}

She's a mentor character who herself has to learn to be a better person. As she teaches Karu (and others), she'll become less abrasive, and own up to her own flaws more. At some point she will probably have to meet the family she left behind, and try to reconcile with them. That may or may not involve learning the truth behind her uncle's death. Power-wise, she's fully formed at this point, and isn't really going to be picking up anything new.

• Kaminari Hikaru, 14

Progress Report

.

The greatest accolade Hikaru has earned while at the academy is the "most improved student" award. Hikaru embodies a proverb from the Yamato encyclopedia regarding martial training "Soldiers are like fruit, they are ripe at a certain point in time. If called before or after their proper time you will be consume them and gain only a bitter taste in the mouth." I have never seen a Kaminari this early in their career before, so I cannot common on whether his development is typical of others from his lineage, but at this point he excels at written tests, and displays basic proficiency in practical exercizes. He is capable of learning the technicques in the curriculum when he has proper focus; the chief obstacle to his understanding is a desire to stray from the normal syllabus in favor of what he terms "cool stuff". I'm sure you've seen what he draws instead of taking notes. He has not yet displayed any unique talents, but he meets the expected core standards of the fundamentals of the ninja arts and thus I can official certify him as

Morihito's shown that he has excellent comprehension of the curriculum and a constant drive for self improvement, but what strikes me as his greatest quality is his patience. Fūinjutsu is barely covered in the academy, but in the brief moments where it is mentioned Mori's enthusiasm is palpable. His chosen specialty has not taken away from the rest of classwork (along with Hikaru he is consistently among the top scorers on written examinations); it has meant that he has not explored the other areas as deeply as other young ninjas who are still searching for their calling. Even if he ultimately chooses another area of the ninja arts, Mori's diligence and his receptiveness to instruction will carry him far. He has completed all of the standards of academy, and I certify that he is

• Kiryu Izayoi, 13

Progress Report

.

The Konohagakure Ninja Academy has changed since it's early days. Initially, the practice revolved around a master and their students, with the individual master taking total control over the method of instruction and through it shaping their students along the way. This was a demanding process, a great burden for the master, one that not all could meet. Over time, due to a shortage of teachers of the highest caliber and the difficulties some had with the attitudes that their students brought, the process was changed to mandate a standardized system of metrics and tests to ensure students were making adequate progress. Iwagakure went through a similar process when the great Yamato reforms came, Konohagakure's shift has been more haphazard, but the full details are not to be discussed here. If you lend me those scrolls I asked for I'll be able to finish the treatise I was writing about it In the wake of the Yamato reforms, it is reported that a court official once asked my ancestor what the greatest threat to the village was, his response was the following "The death of the village will come when we forget what it is to be worthy, and come to see tests and customs as tools that bestow worthiness, rather than merely help us identify it. If we have too few worthy we will be overrun from the outside, but if we become blind to worthiness we will rot from the inside."

That was an exceptionally long prologue for a progress report, but I believe it is mandated on an exceptional occasion such as this one. Kiryu Izayoi has displayed an outright toxic mentality towards every aspect of my instruction, I can count on one hand the number of occasions she has actually obeyed my commands. She has ignored me to such an extent I would classify her as self taught before I would claim her as a disciple of mine. Tell her to give me back that encyclopedia if she isn't going to read it, printing costs aren't cheap In spite of her complete disregard for my instruction and her decision to employ her own unorthodox study methodsI know for a fact she would've failed several classes if she didn't have a Ketsuryūgan, she has passed all of the mandated tests. Her disciplinary record is bleak, but it is below the threshold that would impact graduation 1 POINT! SHE MADE IT BY 1 POINT As a result of the standards that govern the academy, I must declare her

I need to discuss some ideas I have for revising the grading methods immediately

•Chakra Control Katsumi has extremly precise control of her Chakra. This makes her naturally adept at technicques that require good chakra control, including enhancing her physical strength with Chakra. Her natural Chakra capacity is not great, but her discipline helps it last longer.
•Eidetic Memory Katsumi's memory is has been called photographic, but that is a bit of an exaggeration. Her perfect recall is precise enough to remember things she has read, but when it comes to visual memory it works in broad strokes. It can remember what happened in a battle, but it's not precise enough to copy jutsus she saw during it.
•Tactical Knowledge Being raised by the Yamato clan and having fought in the Great Shinobi War, has a mind for tactics. She is most comfortable applying prior knowledge to analyze a new situation, relying on her exstensive studies and great memory. She is not as comfortable thinking on the fly.
•Jutsu Theorist As someone who has dedicated years of study, Katsumi has a strong background in the theories behind Jutsus and a very large knowledgebase. She is good at identifying jutsus seen in the field, and figuring out their strengths and limitations

The Kanehara clan never had a place in the history books. They were farmers, not ninjas, a choice made by the founders of the clan when they discovered that their bloodline gave them strong endurance but great difficulties with chakra manipulation. This specialization only grew stronger over time, generation after generation worked their ancestral lands, making their small patch productive through their ability to work longer and harder. Kotestu's parents, Masaru and Ryoko, were no different, always toiling away on the farm, and trusting that their children would do the same one day. Tetsuya, Kotetsu's older brother, was much older than him, Kotetsu himself was born when his parents were beggining to feel the strain of aging. When the war came the fighting forced them from their land, it was too far from the center of the village to be worth defending. The fighting grew worse and the village asked for another sacrifice, their eldest son. The family only avoided hunger by selling the deed to their land, the agreement would allow them to keep it until Masaru and Ryoko passed away, but longer than that. Tetsuya died in the fighting, his commander talked about how brave he was, but that did not console them. The war had taken their land, taken their son, it had taken their future, and given them nothing in return.

Kotestu grew up knowing that the future had nothing for him. He had no inhertence, no legacy, nothing to look forward to. He got into fights a lot, he lost a lot, but found he was extremely tough. His lack of ability with jutsus had convinced him to stay away from the ninja academy, but his reputation grew and eventually he decided to join. Being a ninja wasn't a childhood dream of his; what it did offer was a way to provide for his family and an impressive challenge that he knew he could overcome. At the academy he proved even worse at ninjutsu and genjutsu than expected. His true talent was taijutsu, and he trained hard, working the fields in the day and training his body at night. Some of his classes took multiple tries before he managed to make a passing grade, but the faculty saw his dedication and kept encouraging him to try again. Eventually, he graduated, later than usual but still in time for the chunin exams.

_{C H A R A C T E R D E V E L O P M E N T}

Character development-wise, Kotestu's main journey is learning to actually be close to other people, and have some hope for the future. At the start of the RP, he lives his life on autopilot, believing in his ideal of pressing forward, but doing so only because it's what he's always done; in his mind there is no other choice. He sees it as solitary goal, something which will likely change over the course of the RP

Kotestu is built around one thing, taking big hits. This means that he can be used for dramatic moments, demonstrating the strength of someone's attack. He's good for being a supporting role in a fight, holding people off to buy time, or or blocking a hit at a critical moment. It also gives him a power progression, getting more durable over time. Taijutsu is and will remain the total of his offensive capabilities, but perhaps over time he learns to refine it more and relies less on just tanking hits. Learning to open the 8 gates will also be part of the journey. His problems with healing also offer potential for drama, such as coping with damage that never quite patches up, or using unconventional medical technicques. Maybe by the end of it he'll have a bunch of improvised and not medically safe materials patching his body together, things like metal or wooden bits.

•Taijutsu As his only specialty, Kotestu spends a lot of time working on his Taijutsu. He has an ugly style, closer to street brawling than fluid moves, but it works and throws people off. He commonly uses kicks to wear down an opponent, especially leg kicks, and also likes brawl up close and catch people in the clinch where he unloads with knees, elbows, and dirty boxing. Kotetsu favors a few big hits over a rapid fire barrage, and doesn't move especially fast of a Taijutsu specialist, but when he needs the power he can bring it.
•Counterpunching The cornerstone of Kotestu's style is landing a counter hit at critical moment. He has a good eye for openings, and his lax approach to defense allows him to keep his offense ready at all times.

•Kunai Kotestu keeps kunais around, he doesn't use them much but they make a good disctration when he needs one

_{T E C H N I Q U E S}

_{C R A N K}

•8 Gates As a Taijutsu specialist, Kotetsu has learned how to open several of the chakra gates within his body. He's gotten as far he has thanks to the careful instruction of his mentor and working through the nights, to the point of neglecting other subjects and obligations in life. It greatly enhances his physical abilities, but it is risky due to the strain it puts on him. Also, due to his warped Chakra system, he can't exit it on his own except by passing out from exhaustion. The most he's done so far is three gates.

_{D R A N K}

•Dynamic Entry The signature technicque of any Taijutsu stylist who wants to start a fight off the right way.

Katsumi's true personality is not her public persona. To those she doesn't know well (especially those who annoy her), she is arrogant and prideful, having little patience for any who question the genius of the Yamato clan's prodigy and always finding subtle ways to demonstrate her standing. Around those who she respects she has a different side, less abrasive but still not actually polite, more of a trickster who is trying to force people to examine things deeper by throwing them out of their comfort zone. She takes to know people and understand them. Katsumi is very much driven by her sense of right and wrong. She always tries to do what she believes is right for someone she care about, not what is easiest or most socially acceptable. Inside, she's conflicted between wanting to help people grow and her own bitterness towards the world, leading to a harshness that conceals more idealistic goals.

_{P E R S O N A L H I S T O R Y}

Katsumi Yamato was born into the fabled Yamato clan of Iwagakure, famed for their scholarly pursuits and their skill on the battlefield. The clan has produced many philosophical and martial treatises, but the most known is the Yamato Encyclopedia of Warfare, their comprehensive manual of the clan's combat technicques, expanded with each generation. Thanks to their reputation, not only have they occupied by the esteemed position of controlling Iwagakure's academy, they have also been trusted advisors to the Tsuchikage. They have only been able to maintain this position through putting their own clan through even more rigorous standards, demanding that they demonstrate proficiency in the core of the curriculum and memorize the text content of the Encyclopedia before they can call themselves full members of the clan. This had become a controversial requirement by Katsumi's time, fewer and fewer of each generation were able to accomplish it, and her father Yasunari even argued for abolishing it, but was overruled by her uncle Yukio. It was his belief that through this relentless drive for perfection they would ensure that the position of Tsuchikage went to a Yamato. Katsumi herself was able to finish the curriculum ahead of schedule, the only Yamato of her generation to do so, and was hailed as a genius for that accomplishment. The clan prepared for an even greater celebration when it was time to choose the next Tsuchikage, the whole village had practically decided that Yukio was the only one worthy to hold the title. Mysteriously, Yukio died before the choice for Tsuchikage was announced, and the position went to a rival clan. No investigation was ever launched into his death, and no explanation was given, but rumors swirled.

After Yukio's death the Yamato family did what they always did, they wrote, they theorized, and they trained. Katsumi threw herself into training even harder than before, and an eerie silence developed around the whole situation among the clan. When asked about his thoughts on the choice for the Tsuchikage, Yasunari was reticent, but expressed the thought that he wished there would be a day when they would not need a Tsuchikage. He longed for a time when all the citizens of Iwagakure could defend themselves and the village against attackers and could stand together as free and equal brothers in arms, not as a hiearchy of the strong hoarding their power over the weak. Such talk was controversial, and only became more controversial when the war broke out. Unusually, the Yamato clan declined to provide many fighters, saying that their greatest value was as teachers, and the village leaders reluctantly agreed, keeping the core of their clan off of the frontlines. Katsumi was hungry for battle but hated the village leadership, leaving her with a dilemma she could not resolve until an envoy from Konoha made a secret deal with her. Joining them was the best revenge she could think of, and the massive payment they offered only sweetened the deal. Not only did she bring a huge cache of valuable information, she became a terrifying fighter on Konoha's side, the one woman artillery barrage known for her blissful calm on the battlefield.

The end of the war forced Katsumi to confront things she had ignored beforehand. Going back to Iwagakure was out of the question, but settling in Konoha proved awkward as well. Now, people were willing to share their true feelings about her betrayal of her home, how it was against the philosophy of the village. They would tolerate her, but she was not trusted enough to be given any power or important responsibilities. She made a few attempts at teaching and quit everytime out of dissatisfaction with the students she instructed, furious that they could not meet her standards. Afterwards, Katsumi retreated to her estate, working on literary pursuits and her own exploration of new jutsus. Over those years she invented the Rasengan, in hopes of finding a powerful jutsu that could be used regardless of elemental affinity, but so far has not found anyone willing to learn the level of Chakra control needed. Her writing has won her acclaim among the intellectual crowd but has had little popular success, the biggest success being her history of the shinobi war compiled from interviews with fellow veterans. In public, she is most often seen playing Go or visiting a bar when they hold a "Name that Jutsu" trivia night, always winning unless a Kaminari is also competing.

She's a mentor character who herself has to learn to be a better person. As she teaches Karu (and others), she'll become less abrasive, and own up to her own flaws more. At some point she will probably have to meet the family she left behind, and try to reconcile with them. That may or may not involve learning the truth behind her uncle's death. Power-wise, she's fully formed at this point, and isn't really going to be picking up anything new.

•Chakra Control Katsumi has extremly precise control of her Chakra. This makes her naturally adept at technicques that require good chakra control, including enhancing her physical strength with Chakra. Her natural Chakra capacity is not great, but her discipline helps it last longer.
•Eidetic Memory Katsumi's memory is has been called photographic, but that is a bit of an exaggeration. Her perfect recall is precise enough to remember things she has read, but when it comes to visual memory it works in broad strokes. It can remember what happened in a battle, but it's not precise enough to copy jutsus she saw during it.
•Tactical Knowledge Being raised by the Yamato clan and having fought in the Great Shinobi War, has a mind for tactics. She is most comfortable applying prior knowledge to analyze a new situation, relying on her exstensive studies and great memory. She is not as comfortable thinking on the fly.
•Jutsu Theorist As someone who has dedicated years of study, Katsumi has a strong background in the theories behind Jutsus and a very large knowledgebase. She is good at identifying jutsus seen in the field, and figuring out their strengths and limitations

The Kanehara clan never had a place in the history books. They were farmers, not ninjas, a choice made by the founders of the clan when they discovered that their bloodline gave them strong endurance but great difficulties with chakra manipulation. This specialization only grew stronger over time, generation after generation worked their ancestral lands, making their small patch productive through their ability to work longer and harder. Kotestu's parents, Masaru and Ryoko, were no different, always toiling away on the farm, and trusting that their children would do the same one day. Tetsuya, Kotetsu's older brother, was much older than him, Kotetsu himself was born when his parents were beggining to feel the strain of aging. When the war came the fighting forced them from their land, it was too far from the center of the village to be worth defending. The fighting grew worse and the village asked for another sacrifice, their eldest son. The family only avoided hunger by selling the deed to their land, the agreement would allow them to keep it until Masaru and Ryoko passed away, but longer than that. Tetsuya died in the fighting, his commander talked about how brave he was, but that did not console them. The war had taken their land, taken their son, it had taken their future, and given them nothing in return.

Kotestu grew up knowing that the future had nothing for him. He had no inhertence, no legacy, nothing to look forward to. He got into fights a lot, he lost a lot, but found he was extremely tough. His lack of ability with jutsus had convinced him to stay away from the ninja academy, but his reputation grew and eventually he decided to join. Being a ninja wasn't a childhood dream of his; what it did offer was a way to provide for his family and an impressive challenge that he knew he could overcome. At the academy he proved even worse at ninjutsu and genjutsu than expected. His true talent was taijutsu, and he trained hard, working the fields in the day and training his body at night. Some of his classes took multiple tries before he managed to make a passing grade, but the faculty saw his dedication and kept encouraging him to try again. Eventually, he graduated, later than usual but still in time for the chunin exams.

_{C H A R A C T E R D E V E L O P M E N T}

Character development-wise, Kotestu's main journey is learning to actually be close to other people, and have some hope for the future. At the start of the RP, he lives his life on autopilot, believing in his ideal of pressing forward, but doing so only because it's what he's always done; in his mind there is no other choice. He sees it as solitary goal, something which will likely change over the course of the RP

Kotestu is built around one thing, taking big hits. This means that he can be used for dramatic moments, demonstrating the strength of someone's attack. He's good for being a supporting role in a fight, holding people off to buy time, or or blocking a hit at a critical moment. It also gives him a power progression, getting more durable over time. Taijutsu is and will remain the total of his offensive capabilities, but perhaps over time he learns to refine it more and relies less on just tanking hits. Learning to open the 8 gates will also be part of the journey. His problems with healing also offer potential for drama, such as coping with damage that never quite patches up, or using unconventional medical technicques. Maybe by the end of it he'll have a bunch of improvised and not medically safe materials patching his body together, things like metal or wooden bits.

•Taijutsu As his only specialty, Kotestu spends a lot of time working on his Taijutsu. He has an ugly style, closer to street brawling than fluid moves, but it works and throws people off. He commonly uses kicks to wear down an opponent, especially leg kicks, and also likes brawl up close and catch people in the clinch where he unloads with knees, elbows, and dirty boxing. Kotetsu favors a few big hits over a rapid fire barrage, and doesn't move especially fast of a Taijutsu specialist, but when he needs the power he can bring it.
•Counterpunching The cornerstone of Kotestu's style is landing a counter hit at critical moment. He has a good eye for openings, and his lax approach to defense allows him to keep his offense ready at all times.

•8 Gates As a Taijutsu specialist, Kotetsu has learned how to open several of the chakra gates within his body. He's gotten as far he has thanks to the careful instruction of his mentor and working through the nights, to the point of neglecting other subjects and obligations in life. It greatly enhances his physical abilities, but it is risky due to the strain it puts on him. Also, due to his warped Chakra system, he can't exit it on his own except by passing out from exhaustion. The most he's done so far is three gates.

_{D R A N K}

•Dynamic Entry The signature technicque of any Taijutsu stylist who wants to start a fight off the right way. Kotestu's variation of it is not graceful, it's more of a rolling kick unleashed by lobbing his whole body at the enemy rather than fluid, flying strike. It gets him in close and ready to fight, which is what matters to him.

•Golden Left (A less refined cousin of this) Kotetsu's so called "sunday punch", a straight left hand, is his favorite weapon when counterpunching. It's got a blend of speed and power that makes it perfect for that purpose, but needs proper set up to avoid telegraphing it. Kotetsu's favorite tactic is to let it loose at the same time his opponent is landing a heavy blow, trusting that he'll come out the winner in the exchange.

Mobius Academy: The City in the Sky

There was a speech. Blaise didn’t really listen. He heard that the class would be taught by some guy named War Machine, which was a pretty cool name, he thought it was cool that Earth let people have names like that. Though, with a name like that, he was probably a pretty intense guy. The speech ended and he saw people reaching under their chairs, so Blaise did that too and found his room keycard. He thought to himself maybe sometimes he should listen more, like he should’ve paid attention to what Dormammu said before telling him to go off to Mobius, but there were a lot of steps and details in that whole thing, and steps and details weren’t Blaise’s style.

Blaise did what felt right at the moment, and what felt right then was heading to the class 1-B common room. He figured there was more worth seeing there than his room. When he went in there someone was already chilling, sitting upside down. Blaise could dig that, never get too attached to having one absolute direction up or down. He said “Sup.” to Issie, but then focused on the TV in the corner. He started fidgeting with the controls to try and switch the inputs, but what was on the TV caught his eye. It was an episode of How’s It’s Made, chill electronic music and calm voiceover talking about how they make tennis balls. He stopped on it and said to himself “Bro, this right here, this is my kind of show.” After that he just stood there, watching the mechanical process repeat over and over again.

Appearance

Picked a human form based on what he thought a cool person looked like, hence hair that always looks styled no matter what he is doing and the face like an off-brand copy of a movie star. His clothing can be described as “Denim. Everything Denim”, the only other option he will accept is a tracksuit (preferably by Adidas). His sunglasses always stay on, not just because that makes him look cooler, but because it also hides the flaming aura coming out of his eyes, energy from his natural Faltine form

Personality Traits

Easy-going | Lazy | Non-judgmental | Mischievous | Calm | Unconventional

Secret Origin

Dormammu was used to challengers, seeking to usurp him as ruler of the Dark Dimension. What was less familiar to him was a genuine peace offering. The Dark Dimension was suffering from the devastating civil war he fought against Umar and Clea’s factions, shaking the foundations of the plane so badly that denizens began to reach out to other realms, asking for an end to the violence. A novel idea was proposed to end the fighting, peace talks overseen by a third party. Even more surprisingly, all three parties agreed to a ceasefire, though none could understand why Dormammu was willing to bargain.

Dormammu saw the time of peace as only a brief intermission to allow him to implement a new plan. To overpower his rivals, Dormammu would reproduce in the old Faltine way, split off a portion of his essence and then let it grow into another equally powerful being. Together, Dormammu and his progeny annihilate their enemies and conquer untold numbers of universes. Vlasiud is the product of this plan, and unfortunately for Dormammu, he developed a personality entirely unsuited to conquest. Vlasiud didn’t share his fathers ambitions, and any enthusiasm he showed was only to make Dormammu leave him alone so he could devote more time to stuff he actually cared about. Vlasiud doesn’t openly fight with his father or outright reject what he stands for, he just doesn’t see it as a big deal and doesn’t bother with any of that ruling or conquest stuff. Dormammu is clearly disappointed in how this turned out, but feeling some pride in his creation and having the patience typical of an immortal being, still holds out hope there is something he can do to salvage a benefit out of it.

When Vlasiud began to show interest in Earth culture, Dormammu came up with another idea. Having one of his own living on Earth would provide some tactical benefits, and would also be a way of getting his embarrassment of a son out of the public eye back in the Dark Dimension, possibly even act. Vlasiud enrolled at Mobius academy as part of a cultural exchange program made possible by the peace deal, eager to find out ways to fight evil a passive-aggressive manner that still gives him time to chill.

Family Tree

Dormammu – Father (Faltine disdain this term, and as they reproduce by fission it is not 100% accurate, but for human purposes it will suffice. There is no “mother equivalent”)

Umar – Aunt

Clea – Cousin

Ayla - Cousin

Satannish – Lesser creation of Dormammu (Wants to be seen as an actual member of the family, in actuality is somewhere between “cousin everyone secretly hates” and “family dog that is loveable but stupid”) (no face claim because he's a big angry metaphysical demon thing)

Abilities

• Mystical Energy
o A skilled sorcerer taught by Dormammu, Blaise has become adept at spells and incantations of many varieties, from the basic energy projection, transmutation, astral projection and flight to more exotic options.
o Blaise is something of an idiot-savant at magic, being most skilled at the stranger effects, like the ones that fiddle with space, conjure illusions or interact with other dimensions, despite his inexperience. He doesn’t even really know how he does it himself. He is better at these than raw energy output.
• Faltine Body
o Blaise’s true form is composed of pure energy. He doesn’t eat, sleep, breath, get intoxicated or other do other typical biological behaviors, being sustained by energy and driven to find and sample more exotic energies out there
o He’s difficult to harm with physical blows, energy blasts do more direct damage
o His physical body is easy to manipulate with magic, being just a shell projected over his form
o As a Faltine he naturally produces mystical energy, which is useful for fueling his spells
Weaknesses
o He is still an immature sorcerer, and quite poorly trained in theory. He goes by gut instinct, which can steer him wrong
o Blaise is tied to the Dark Dimension, Earth is not his natural home. He has trouble drawing magic from Earth’s ambient environment, and drawing magical power from the Dark Dimension is also difficult. When it comes down to sheer power output, he stands at a disadvantage
o His linkage with the Dark Dimension makes him vulnerable to countermeasures against cross-dimensional intruders, banishing him back to his home or erecting wards are both effective against Blaise.

Daughter of Umar

Appearance

She spends a lot of time to maintain her proper look. Her personal style is formal and modern, trending towards the minimalism and emphasizing dark colors. She keeps her hair long and has a tall, waifish build. Recently, at the insistence of her mother, she has been changing her look to match a new concept. Trying to appeal to the masses, she now incorporates more pastel colors and quirky patterns accessories to match the Instagram aesthetic that dominates popular culture, in a bid to make her more popular and relatable. Given how popular the concept of Magical Girls are on earth, she is trying to incorporate elements of them into her superhero persona, even if bright colors and elaborate ornamentation are the opposite of what she naturally chooses.

Personality Traits

Perfectionist | Methodical | Unforgiving | Control-freak | Superficial | Quick to Anger

Secret Origin

Around the time of the latest truce signed with Dormammu, Umar became pregnant and refused to reveal much about the father. She was always more attached to the material world than her brother, and was comfortable in her physical form and the pleasures it offered. All she would say was that he was not from the dark dimension and that their time together was highly enjoyable if brief, that interdimensional affair with the Hulk is one of Umar’s secrets. She decided that she would raise the child herself this time, not abandon her like she did with Clea, hoping to avoid how that turned out. Umar was something of a tiger mom, emphasizing strict discipline and training her daughter rigorously.

Ayla was a good student, not rebellious and similar in temperament to her mother, her only failing being a short temper that frequently broke her façade of calm, high-minded reasoning. She did her best to hide it, becoming adept at projecting an image of herself different from her actual underlying thoughts, only those who knew her well knew about her inner self. Umar was mildly pleased with the outcome, and decided that her daughter’s next phase would require her to leave the Dark Dimension. Ayla would travel to earth to enroll at the Mobius Academy, and begin to build a reputation as a hero over there. While Ayla is unhappy about having to leave her life of luxury in her home Dimension, and mildly annoyed by her mother’s helicopter parenting, at least she has Grgggg, a barely-sentient pile of rocks who can handle of the all of the menial tasks of dorm life. Whether she makes any actual friends is unknown at this point.

Family Tree

Umar – Mother

Father – Hulk/Bruce Banner

Dormammu – Uncle

Clea – Half-Sister

Vlasiud - Cousin

Satannish – Lesser creation of Dormammu (Wants to be seen as an actual member of the family, in actuality is somewhere between “cousin everyone secretly hates” and “family dog that is loveable but stupid”) (no face claim because he's a big angry metaphysical demon thing)

Abilities

• Mystical Energy
O Ayla has studied spells and incantations of many varieties, from the basic energy projection, transmutation, astral projection and flight to more exotic options. She is known for having a high power output, and it seems to increase even more as she gets angrier and more frustrated. Because of this, she prefers direct options, blowing something to smithereens with a giant blast or erecting a barrier to protect herself is often the simplest solution to a problem she encounters
• Half-Faltine Body
o Unlike a pure Faltine, Ayla still has a biological body and is made of matter, but she still has a natural output of magical energy to use as fuel for her spells. She is also better at interacting with Earth’s natural magical energies than other denizens of the Dark Dimension
Weaknesses
o She struggles with more abstract uses of magic, the further it is from the basics the more difficult she finds it. This is due a combination of her regimented way of thinking about magic combined with her habit of getting frustrated when she fails at first.
o Her linkage with the Dark Dimension makes him vulnerable to countermeasures against cross-dimensional intruders, banishing her back to his home or erecting wards are both effective against Umar.
o As she gets angrier she has less control over her magic, sometimes even leading to it manifesting energy constructs or bolts of destructive energy in random directions.

Having one of his own living on Earth would provide some tactical benefits, and would also be a way of getting his embarrassment of a son out of the public eye back in the Dark Dimension, possibly even act. Vlasiud enrolled at Mobius academy as part of a cultural exchange program made possible by the peace deal, eager to find out ways to fight evil a passive-aggressive manner that still gives him time to chill.

Family Tree

Dormammu – Father (Faltine disdain this term, and as they reproduce by fission it is not 100% accurate, but for human purposes it will suffice. There is no “mother equivalent”)

Umar – Aunt

Clea – Cousin

Ayla - Cousin

Satannish – Lesser creation of Dormammu (Wants to be seen as an actual member of the family, in actuality is somewhere between “cousin everyone secretly hates” and “family dog that is loveable but stupid”) (no face claim because he's a big angry metaphysical demon thing)

Abilities

• Mystical Energy
o A skilled sorcerer taught by Dormammu, Blaise has become adept at spells and incantations of many varieties, from the basic energy projection, transmutation, astral projection and flight to more exotic options.
o Blaise is something of an idiot-savant at magic, being most skilled at the stranger effects, like the ones that fiddle with space, conjure illusions or interact with other dimensions, despite his inexperience. He doesn’t even really know how he does it himself. He is better at these than raw energy output.
• Faltine Body
o Blaise’s true form is composed of pure energy. He doesn’t eat, sleep, breath, get intoxicated or other do other typical biological behaviors, being sustained by energy and driven to find and sample more exotic energies out there
o He’s difficult to harm with physical blows, energy blasts do more direct damage
o His physical body is easy to manipulate with magic, being just a shell projected over his form
o As a Faltine he naturally produces mystical energy, which is useful for fueling his spells
Weaknesses
o He is still an immature sorcerer, and quite poorly trained in theory. He goes by gut instinct, which can steer him wrong
o Blaise is tied to the Dark Dimension, Earth is not his natural home. He has trouble drawing magic from Earth’s ambient environment, and drawing magical power from the Dark Dimension is also difficult. When it comes down to sheer power output, he stands at a disadvantage
o His linkage with the Dark Dimension makes him vulnerable to countermeasures against cross-dimensional intruders, banishing him back to his home or erecting wards are both effective against Blaise.

Appearance

She spends a lot of time to maintain her proper look. Her personal style is formal and modern, trending towards the minimalism and emphasizing dark colors. She keeps her hair long and has a tall, waifish build. Recently, at the insistence of her mother, she has been changing her look to match a new concept. Trying to appeal to the masses, she now incorporates more pastel colors and quirky patterns accessories to match the Instagram aesthetic that dominates popular culture, in a bid to make her more popular and relatable. Given how popular the concept of Magical Girls are on earth, she is trying to incorporate elements of them into her superhero persona, even if bright colors and elaborate ornamentation are the opposite of what she naturally chooses.

Personality Traits

Perfectionist | Methodical | Unforgiving | Control-freak | Superficial | Quick to Anger

Secret Origin

Around the time of the latest truce signed with Dormammu, Umar became pregnant and refused to reveal much about the father. She was always more attached to the material world than her brother, and was comfortable in her physical form and the pleasures it offered. All she would say was that he was not from the dark dimension and that their time together was highly enjoyable if brief, that interdimensional affair with the Hulk is one of Umar’s secrets. She decided that she would raise the child herself this time, not abandon her like she did with Clea, hoping to avoid how that turned out. Umar was something of a tiger mom, emphasizing strict discipline and training her daughter rigorously.

Ayla was a good student, not rebellious and similar in temperament to her mother, her only failing being a short temper that frequently broke her façade of calm, high-minded reasoning. She did her best to hide it, becoming adept at projecting an image of herself different from her actual underlying thoughts, only those who knew her well knew about her inner self. Umar was mildly pleased with the outcome, and decided that her daughter’s next phase would require her to leave the Dark Dimension. Ayla would travel to earth to enroll at the Mobius Academy, and begin to build a reputation as a hero over there. While Ayla is unhappy about having to leave her life of luxury in her home Dimension, and mildly annoyed by her mother’s helicopter parenting, at least she has Grgggg, a barely-sentient pile of rocks who can handle of the all of the menial tasks of dorm life. Whether she makes any actual friends is unknown at this point.

Family Tree

Umar – Mother

Father – Hulk/Bruce Banner

Dormammu – Uncle

Clea – Half-Sister

Vlasiud - Cousin

Satannish – Lesser creation of Dormammu (Wants to be seen as an actual member of the family, in actuality is somewhere between “cousin everyone secretly hates” and “family dog that is loveable but stupid”) (no face claim because he's a big angry metaphysical demon thing)

Abilities

• Mystical Energy
O Ayla has studied spells and incantations of many varieties, from the basic energy projection, transmutation, astral projection and flight to more exotic options. She is known for having a high power output, and it seems to increase even more as she gets angrier and more frustrated. Because of this, she prefers direct options, blowing something to smithereens with a giant blast or erecting a barrier to protect herself is often the simplest solution to a problem she encounters
• Half-Faltine Body
o Unlike a pure Faltine, Ayla still has a biological body and is made of matter, but she still has a natural output of magical energy to use as fuel for her spells. She is also better at interacting with Earth’s natural magical energies than other denizens of the Dark Dimension
Weaknesses
o She struggles with more abstract uses of magic, the further it is from the basics the more difficult she finds it. This is due a combination of her regimented way of thinking about magic combined with her habit of getting frustrated when she fails at first.
o Her linkage with the Dark Dimension makes him vulnerable to countermeasures against cross-dimensional intruders, banishing her back to his home or erecting wards are both effective against Umar.
o As she gets angrier she has less control over her magic, sometimes even leading to it manifesting energy constructs or bolts of destructive energy in random directions.
