[Academy Student] Haru Kawano [Sato]

[VeiledInsanity]

Name: Kawano, Haru

Age: 14

Gender: Male

Height: 5’5

Weight: 140 pounds

Appearance: Haru is a beautiful, yet feminine looking boy. His features are striking, his piercing green eyes the most distinguished of these. He has long, blond hair that flows down to the center of his back. He has pale skin and looks soft and delicate yet when you look harder his eyes and face have a steel in them, hidden beneath the surface. His hair shines slightly in the direct sunlight looking almost white. While his body seems soft at first, when he flexes it reveals trained muscles that he has toned whenever possible.

He also has small, barely distinguishable silver scars on his wrists. He wears the ninja uniform of his village, unwilling to change into anything else once he acquired it. With his navy blue shirt, gloves and kunai holders along with his grey pants and under shirt, he is beginning to look like a ninja.

Level/Rank: Academy Student

Village: Sato

Language: Common (Sati Accent) and Sati (Fluent)

Main/Favored Weapon: Twenty inch tanto. It has an eight inch handle and a twelve inch blade. After acquiring this weapon from the money his parents gave him he treasured the short weapon. It's sharpness amazed even him, when he used it to cut it flew right through the object, even with minimal force put behind the blade. It is made of steel and has no mystical properties but sometimes he wonders if its constant razor edge might be a sign of minor mystic influence. It is kept in a small black wooden scabbard on his right side.

Side Arms:
- 5 Kunai
Stored on his left hip holster.

- 10 Five star shuriken
Five on each holster on both of his upper arms.

- 5 Makibishi spikes
Stored in smaller pocket connected with the left hip holster.

- 10 Exploding tags
Stored in smaller pocket connected with the left hip holster.

- 1 Ointment
Stored on a holster on his lower back.

- 1: 10 Foot roll of wire
Stored with ointment.

- 3 Smoke bombs.
Stored on right hip holster.

Element: Water

Physical Strengths:
- Good chakra control

- Above average reflexes

- Above average speed

- Great chakra capacity

Physical Weaknesses:
- Blood burns occasionally
A burning in his veins can distract him in battle, causing him pain. He can attempt to overpower this with his pain tolerance, but it is still a detriment. It is triggered by strenuous activity.

- Gets disoriented occasionally
This can affect him in battle causing him to lose concentration and on rare occasions, faint. It is triggered by strenuous activity.

- Very bad strength.

- Bad endurance.

- Bad immune system (+ 2 poison post duration.)


Mental Strengths:
- Good intelligence

- Very good pain tolerance.

- Great at genjutsu.

Mental Weaknesses:
- Phobia of open spaces (agoraphobia)
He doesn't realize it but he has a great fear of large open spaces. Especially in high stress situations (such as on a mission). He feels that he can be attacked at any moment and can even use his weapons to attempt to defeat unseen enemies. He gains a cold sweat and is barely fit for combat. It can take him along time to traverse open spaces and impossible in direct combat. This can appear as a comical weakness at times but in most cases, it proves to be a high danger to himself.

- Vain
His vanity doesn't affect him as it does usual people. He acknowledges his beauty and uses it as a tool. However if something wasn't to permanently disfigure his body he would go to extreme lengths to avoid it. This would make him susceptible to certain genjutsu and certain threats. Also his hair is a specific point of his vanity. Grabbing/cutting it would cause him to go into shock.

- Bad social skills (cold, stubborn, not a team player)
Raised as a diplomat, he possesses the skills to be socially acceptable. However he fails to use them on most occasions, as he hates being fake. Examples of when he would actually use his good social skills: when speaking to someone who he considers of higher rank (not necessarily a teacher), a client.

- Below average Ninjutsu knowledge (His mind doesn't understand Ninjutsu aside from the basic AS and Genin stuff, thus he is incapable of learning it.)

Jutsus:
Henge no jutsu:

Spoiler!

Rank: E (Basic)
Requirements: None.
Description: Henge is the basic skill a ninja must know to become a Genin. It's mostly used as a decoy, to confuse the opponent by transforming into somebody that's an ally with the enemy, and then attack from the back when he's not expecting it. This technique can easily be combined with other jutsu for a more powerful effect, such as with Kage Bunshin no Jutsu [Shadow Clone Technique].
* Special Notes *
- The user maintains their weight
- The user can henge into something 1/2 of their size as a minimum.
- The user can henge into something 1 1/2 times bigger then him/her as a maximum.
- Henge is merely an illusion, not an actual shape shifting.

Bunshin no jutsu:

Spoiler!

Rank: E (Basic)
Requirements: None.
Description: This technique must be mastered by any ninja who has graduated from the shinobi academy. It's the most basic technique a Genin must know, since it can be a real lifesaver. This ninjutsu creates a simple illusion clone identical to the caster. The clone however has no physical properties and will disperse the moment it is touched.
* Special Notes *
- Bunshin aren't solid. They can't hold/touch anything, which also means, they don't leave foot prints.
- Bunshin dispel on one hit.
- Bunshin can not be used to transfer knowledge; you're thinking of a Kage Bunshin.
- Bunshin can't perform any jutsu. Nor are their weapons real.
- Bunshin produce no sound.
- Bunshin have shadows.
- A maximum of 10 Bunshin can be created at one time.

Kawarimi no jutsu:

Spoiler!

Rank: E (Basic)
Requirements: None.
Description: Kawarimi is a widely used and very famous skill among shinobi. The user taps into their chakra and exchanges places with an object of similar weight and size. This is clearly an evasion technique used to dodge attacks; however it can be linked with other jutsu or attacks to create massive damage if done properly.
* Special Note *
- Can only be used up to 3 times in one thread.
- Can not be used to escape a A/S rank jutsu in Tai/Nin or any genjutsu
- Replacements must be of roughly equal size and weight, and nearby.
- You may only switch with another RPC IF you have their permission to do so.

Chiru [Chill]

Spoiler!

Rank: D
Requirements: None.
Description: The user sends a chill down the spine of their opponent for a moment, making them temporarily feel fear. The feeling is done before the other can realize it is genjutsu. Usually done in accordance with something like looking the other in the eye, it can have various effects on the opponent's mind.
Post duration: 1 post (this can’t be altered)

Cue: Looking in the opponents eyes.

Saikederikku [Psychedelic]

Spoiler!

Rank: D
Requirements: None.
Description: The colors of the world around the opponent appear to change randomly.
Post Duration: 1 post

Cue:
- Moving his hair in the sunlight (His hair shines and is pretty :D)

Background: Haru was raised in a world where appearances were everything, a world where deception ruled. His parents were diplomats and put on a show of their family being a perfect family. This has caused Haru to be colder and in more control of his emotions, sometimes too in control. He knows of many formalities, how to read people and keep up a good conversation while necessary. Despite his parents insistence on him following in their footsteps he wished to become a shinobi, wishing to go onto something beyond his current world.

He trained his mind, realizing it is his most powerful weapon. He even began to develop his own genjutsu, which were completed when his parents hired him a shinobi tutor, hoping to get him out of his "phase." Yet he also realized that his body was important and up until the first day as an academy student he has secretly attempted to train his body, pushing through his physical weaknesses.

As a child he was born with a disease where his blood would boil inside of him, hurting him from the inside. Bout’s of dizziness also plagued him, making his childhood dreams of becoming a ninja grow dimmer. In his training, he learned to push past the limits of his body, his endurance helping him push past his encumbering weaknesses. However, before this, he had great pain and discomfort from the boiling and disorientation. At one time, the pain had been so great that he cut open his wrists trying to pour the blood out. His parents found him quickly and helped patch the minor cuts, but their scars have stayed with him, a lifelong reminder.

He also doesn’t realize it, but after spending most of his life indoors, swept up in political intrigue, he has developed a fear of open spaces and feels as though he could be attacked at any moment.

He hopes to become great and well respected a powerful figure. Despite his low opinion of people, he wishes to find others who are different, and not just playing their own manipulative game.


Sample Post:
Haru was finished. He was tired of the constant parade of faces, the endless deception and lies. He knew the life he was going to would be no better, in fact the very skills his parents had taught him could be the difference between life, and death. It would be different though; he felt it, right in his heart, pumping heated blood throughout his veins. There was no logic behind it but he was acting on instinct. In the core of his being, he knew he was meant to be a ninja.

As he looked back at his parents typical, stoic faces. He didn’t feel sadness, only a sense of freedom that he had never felt before. He turned away quickly and stopped the sneer that was beginning to grow upon his face. He wasn’t angry, he didn’t want his last few moments with his parents to be of disrespect, he wanted it neutral, an honourable departure. He allowed a small smile to grace his features, he was finished.

Well welcome aboard lets get this going:

First for your language you need to have Common (Sati Accent) and Sati (Fluent)

Second is not very important but you may be asked to give more in your appearance like for one what would he be wearing because right now he seems naked XP

Third you should have your side arms in a list format with the name then the number next to them it makes it easier to read

Fourth your strengths and weaknesses should also be in listed format

And as for what I can see with your stats your genjutsu strength should be mental not physical, but start with the others first I don't want to flood you with so much all at once XD

[Decadence]

Hello, and welcome to TNF~!

A few things need adjusting on your profile. No worries though, no one gets it all on the first try ^^

(partially elaborating on what was said above me)


-Your thread title should be formatted as so: [Rank] Last Name, First Name [Village], but not to worry, a mod can change that for you.

-Your appearance is beautifully written, but it lacks a description of any clothing Haru wears.

-For languages, each RPC gets the language of his village and "Common" at the beginning. Common is basically a language nearly every character in the world of Seichi knows, allowing you to communicate with those who are not from the same village/country as you.

-Could you please list your side arms one below the other? For example:

-Kunai
-Exploding tags
-Shuriken

The amount of each item is required as well. For example:
-Kunai x10
-Exploding Tags x05
etc...

-The same with your strengths and weaknesses, please.
Physical Strengths:
-Good Chakra Control
-Above Average Speed
etc...

It just makes the profile easier to read.

-All rpc's start out knowing the following jutsu:
Henge no Jutsu
Bunshin no Jutsu
Kawarimi no Jutsu

These 3 jutsu do not take up slots. They're free~

Edit: And just on a final note, while 16 is the highest age an academy student can be, most join between the ages 10-13 from what I've seen, so as a word of caution, Haru will likely be taking classes with characters much younger than him.

[Davak]

Hey and welcome I was just skimming thorugh and quickly discoverd something minor but meh if you want to edit it =)
Its your Tanto... what material ? anything else thats special about it ? and where does he keep this weapon ?

And one more thing ...you have to list where you keep these items =)

Alright thats it from me have fun with this ! hope to see you IC soon !

[Archano]

you have to list where you keep these items =)

That is not required actually, however it is preferable.

---

Now on to the application. You seem like a promising member, and I by no means want to overload you and scare you off with a large number of adjustments on top of what every else has mentioned, but that's what I believe I need to do.

Please relax, and let this adorable image a loli super-genius soothe you throughout the process.

Spoiler!

Main/Favored Weapon: Twenty cm tanto.

As an Academy Student you may only have a sharp bladed weapon up to 1 foot in lenth, or a wooden or blunted blade two feet in length. Please either reduce the size, or state that it is either wooden or blunted.

Side Arms: Kunai, five star shuriken, makibishi spikes, exploding tags, ointment, wire and smoke bombs.

You will need to state how many of each item he carries around.

Physical Weaknesses: List 4 things that weakens your character physically [Ex. Below average throwing accuracy] Blood burns occasionally, gets disoriented occasionally, long hair (gets tangled, can be grabbed, etc), below average strength.

Mental Strengths: List 4 things your character excels at mentally [ex. Not easily intimidated] High intelligence, attention to detail, calculating, high general endurance.

Mental Weaknesses: Phobia of open spaces (agoraphobia), cold, vain, not a team player, stubborn.

Physical Weaknesses:Blood burns occasionally

You will need to elaborate on how this detriments your RPC.

Physical Weaknesses:long hair (gets tangled, can be grabbed, etc),

This is considered a fake weakness, especially against the strengths it is meant to balance. Long hair is simply a facet of your RPC's appearance.

Physical Weaknesses:gets disoriented occasionally

I don't believe I follow exactly what you mean by this, you will need to elaborate. However, by what I can make of it, this would fall under mental weaknesses, and would either be along of lines of poor concentration or pain tolerance.

Mental Strengths[/B]: high general endurance.

Endurance is considered a Physical attribute, unless you are referring to Pain Tolerance with this.

Mental Weaknesses: Phobia of open spaces (agoraphobia)

You will need to explain to what degree this affects your RPC.

Mental Weaknesses: vain

You will need to elaborate on how "vain" your RPC is and how it might affect him, as of now it seems to be a fake weakness as it holds no true detriment.

Mental Weaknesses: not a team player

Team Aspect is considered a fake weakness for an Academy Student, an acceptable replacement would be poor social skills.

[LightKage]

piggy backing a little off of Archano, 20 cm because that's about 8 inches its fine for either specification. However, you need to go into detail into how it looks, what materials its made of, how long the handle is, etc etc.

EDIT:
Davak seems to already gotten to that tidbit -late Light is late-

[VeiledInsanity]

Okay I've updated it all. Hopefully it is acceptable now :)
And don't worry about flooding me with suggestions, I'm grateful for them. I realize I'm not going to be perfect right off the bat. Is there anything else I need to change?

[Decadence]

I was finally able to look at this in more detail (I was waiting for a more complete product), and I certainly do like your character concept. I like the original physical weakness of boiling blood, personally. I'm curious to see how you'll rp it all out.

The only thing is:

- Long hair (gets tangled, can be grabbed, etc)

That particular weakness is a bit fake. Granted, the long hair can be a hazard in battle, but it doesn't quite balance your strength choices. Could you maybe up the severity of your "strength" or "endurance" weakness by 1 or 2 tiers?

[VeiledInsanity]

Thanks :)
I'm hoping I'll be able to rp it in an interesting way.

I changed his strength to bad and his reflexes down to above average, is that better? I didn't even realize that I had placed his physical strengths fairly high. I'm keeping the hair things since I do think of it as a weakness, though I do understand that it is quite a weak one.

[Decadence]

Yes, the physical look better, but I missed this for the mental... You can't have more different strengths than you do weaknesses. You currently have 5 mental strengths, and only 4 mental weaknesses ^^;;

[VeiledInsanity]

Changed! I also added below average immune system to his physical weaknesses as he already has a disease so I think it would make sense.

[Decadence]

Just one quick thing to add. Next to your immune system weakness, add "+1 post poison duration", or something to that extent. Immune system weaknesses give prolonged, and sometimes heightened effects to poisons used against you. Add that in and, so long as you don't change anything else, I give this profile a thumbs up!

Of course, a full mod has the final say. I'm just an assistant ^^;;

They come around often enough, though. Good luck~

[Darth Righteous]

In concurrence with what Decadence just said, I feel it needful that you are exposed to the Poison Rules. This way you don't need to ask someone for the implications of your poison weaknesses should you choose to tweak the level e.g from Bad Immune System to Very Bad Immune system etc. Have fun.

[VeiledInsanity]

Okay thank you :)
Does this mean my character is now approved?

[LightKage]

Nope, you need someone to give you a full stamp [whether it be a full mod or a bunch of the helpers] before a profile is officially accepted.

[VeiledInsanity]

Wow totally failed at seeing your reply.
Thank you :)

[ishi_kudo]

He has various pouches and holsters on his uniform that he uses to hold each item.

I'll be a little picky so...

Can you please instead state where each of the items are placed like, kunai on left hip holster etc? What you typed there is kind of vague and can be abused. With items stated where they are naturally stored, rping them realistically is more possible.

[VeiledInsanity]

Makes sense.
Is that any better? Is there anything else?

[Archano]

Skill with Ninjutsu is a physical attribute~

[ishi_kudo]

Yep.

Horrible at Ninjutsu is a physical attribute, unless you are referring to Ninjutsu Knowledge?

Please do clarify.

:)

EDIT:

And yes, it is better now. The items I mean.
