OUT OF THE CROOKED TIMBER OF HUMANITY NO STRAIGHT THING WAS EVER BUILT

• Name: Kazan Otohime 花山 乙姫
• Age: 18
• Gender: Female
• Rank: Genin
• Appearance: An elegant and demure-looking young woman, Otohime is tall for a woman. She has long black hair that falls to about mid-back, and tends to wear high-belted hakama over kimono with long sleeves. Beneath her clothing, she wears a skintight black bodysuit and combat boots laced to just below her knees. She wears her forehead protector on the belt of her hakama.
• Personality: As might be expected of a highborn lady, Otohime knows how to keep her cool in almost every situation, and to never show more than she wants to. Generally cheerful and unhurried in most things, she can be surprisingly decisive and forceful when she wants to be.
• Elemental Affinity: Earth
• Abilities:
  • The Big Three
    • Taijutsu: 2. Despite her appearance and generally quiet bearing, Otohime is very physically strong. She’s proficient with several martial weapons, including the naginata, tantou, and long-necked warhammer, and is trained in several styles of martial arts. One special technique that makes use of her usual outfit is Fusou-no-Jutsu, Cloth Spear Jutsu. By infusing her sleeves with minimal amounts of chakra, Otohime can strike with the cloth to about twice her normal reach, delivering blows equivalent in strength to her normal palm strikes and deflecting projectiles or attacks with minimal damage to the fabric.
    • Genjutsu: 0. Genjutsu is easily Otohime’s weakest subject, and while she can recognize and escape basic entrapments and ensorcelments, her preferred strategy for dealing with genjutsu is to beat her opponent before they can cast it.
    • Ninjutsu: 2. Otohime’s go-to jutsu is Earth Release: Earth Spear, which she uses in conjunction with her already-formidable physical abilities to destroy anyone that comes within melee range. She also makes use of Sekishin-no-Jutsu, Stone Needle Jutsu – a technique that lets her create stalagmites under her enemies. After the stones are formed, she can break them off with ease and throw them. Finally, she uses Earth Release: Hidden Mole Jutsu to get close to her enemies.
  • Legacy Skill: The Kazan family’s kekkei genkai is a magma-form variant of the Lava Release. By striking the ground, members of the family can create volcanoes that will spew lava for a short time. More advanced users of the kekkei genkai can create more powerful volcanoes or other manifestations of lava; the final form of the jutsu, Kasou-no-Jutsu, is rumored to be similar to Antlion Jutsu, forming a hole that buries the opponent before immolating them with molten rock.
  • Misc. Skills: While Otohime’s older sister is expected to succeed as the family head, Otohime has still received training in high culture. She’s a fair hand at flower arrangement and tea ceremony, but her preferred skill for undercover assignments is playing the lute.
• Possessions and Assets
  • Loadout: Otohime usually carries ten kunai, six shuriken, and a short sword. She keeps two kunai in her sleeves to draw quickly for close-quarters combat, but will generally throw these first as they tend to interfere with her hand-to-hand skills.
  • Assets and Possessions: Otohime’s family is one of the oldest and most influential families in Minegakure. Otohime is only the second child and commands neither the respect nor the resources of her older sister, but she still lives in the Kazan family estate. Her most treasured possession is an old lute engraved with flowers along the body and neck.
• Bio: Otohime is part of the Kazan family, one of the most influential families in Minegakure. Raised in the luxury of the Kazan family estate, Otohime was nonetheless never permitted to lose sight of the responsibility her family owes to the Village. As a second daughter, Otohime knew from birth that rather than being raised as the heir to the family, she would represent the Kazan clan on the battlefield as a shinobi. With that in mind, she threw herself into her training both in courtly arts and martial arts, preparing for the time when she would stand as one of Minegakure’s envoys to the outer world.
  • At the age of five, Otohime was introduced to Tachibana Akemi, a girl a year older than her, and told that Akemi was to be her bodyguard. As might be expected, the two girls got along swimmingly, quickly becoming close friends rather than merely mistress and servant. This relationship continued through their teenage years, with both girls studying hard and training themselves to become genin. Now that they’ve graduated, Otohime’s parents have formally released Akemi from service, instead trusting in Otohime’s own skills and those of her teammates, but she still cares for Akemi greatly.

In this RP, Kirigakure (along with the original villages) doesn't exist. This is an alternate universe where only the clans, jutsu, and general mechanics of the Naruto World exist. Can you replace any mentions of Kirigakure with something else?

Edited.

Akisame is accepted. That's 11 players, so this RP is now closed until someone drops out. I'll be making an OOC thread tonight with every accepted character in the first post.

Discussion thread is up:

[1]

• Name: Hikage Fujiwara
• Age: 17
• Gender: Female
• Rank: Genin
• Appearance:Get in my way, and I'll punish you.
• Personality: Hikage is a curious young girl. She appears to almost completely emotionless. There are many things a normal person would care about that she doesn't react to at all. She can come across as either naive, or extremely blunt, depending on the situation. She is most concerned with staying alive, safety, and completing her missions. People who do things for fun, and laugh confuse her, and make her curious about emotions, despite seemingly not having any of her own. That said, she does have a few other traits. She is very compassionate to her allies and teammates, and is always acting like a Mom instead of a friend, quick to chastise or punish someone who she feels is acting out of turn or recklessly. She does not tolerate people who break the law, not for any moral reasons, but because it's stupid. From one point of view, it could be seen that she actually enjoys punishing people, but she would never let you catch her smiling about it. She can be extremely manipulative when she wants to be. She doesn't like to be out of control of a situation. No one has ever seen her smile. She is very complicit in the antics of her companions, assuming she can determine their intentions will not be dangerous or harmful. She is also a very big eater, quick to snatch away snacks and be the first one to get a bite during rests.
• Elemental Affinity: Water
• Abilities:
  • Taijutsu: 1 She is a practitioner of basis martial arts and swordsmanship.
    • 1000 Armed Assult Technique: Hikage uses the octopus tentacles that she can summon to move as her own arms and legs do, allowing her to have many additional limbs to use in combat. But they are all attached to her, and they feel pain for a brief moment when cut.
    • Squid Roll Technique: Hikage can surround herself in her tentacles, curling up into a ball and rolling at the enemy at a high slippery speed. This can be useful to lead into many of her other close-range genjutsu.
  • Genjutsu: 3 Hikage is an expert in the use of genjutsu, affecting the different senses for a number of illusionary effects. She is equipped with powerful Octopus inks, each with their own distinctive smell and those different smells enable her genjentsu. She has to spray the inks.
    • Octopus Release: Flowery Mind Affect Technique: A flowery scent, when it affects the target, it makes them more complying with Hikage's commands, but unless very weak-willed, or particularly tired, the target will not do anything that causes themselves great harm.
    • Octopus Release: Foul Odor Technique: Hikage will summon a tentacle, and set it on fire. When the smell of the meat hits the nostrils of the opponent, they enter the illusion. It makes them nauseous and sick, with the desire to throw up like a poison. It also makes them feel extremely hungry, as if starving.
    • Octopus Release: Minty Binding and Constricting Violation: A minty smelling ink, when it affects the target, they feel as those many, many tentacles are coming from every direction, grabbing, groping, twisting, pulling and surrounding them, making them unable to move. Hikage can also control this torrent of tentacles to slap, grab, and constrict to cause illusionary pain.
    • Octopus Release: Sweet Fantasy: A sweet smelling ink, when it affects the target, they visualize their greatest fantasies in front of them, completely distracting them.
    • Octopus Release: Decaying Nightmare: A counter to the Sweet Fantasy, it is a horrible smell of rotting and burning flesh, where the world around the target begins to manifest as a dark, nightmare world filled with the target's greatest fears.
    • Octopus Release: Double Illusion Technique: This technique allows Hikage to stack one more genjutsu on top of another, so that when the target eliminates the first illusion, they do not initially realize that there is another.
  • Legacy Skill: Octopus Release: The Fujiwara clan has long since held an affinity and partnership with the octopuses of the world. They hold a mutual, sometimes strained relationship. This allows members of the clan to summon not just tentacles, but also octopuses of various sizes, using their powerful inks. The largest of which is the grand summon, Akkorokamui, a gigantic red octopus. The different octopuses have a variety of personalities, but Akkorokamui is particularly prideful and boisterous, always willing to show his power. He's also particularly perverted and isn't very smart, despite being the leader of the Octopuses. But it's possible this air of idiocy is really a facade. In general, the octopus are a wacky, often silly prankster bunch, and Hikage hates putting up with their antics when summoning them. They have healing properties with their slime, and can release inks and oders.
  • Miscellaneous Skills and Abilities: Hikage is very studious, and very skilled in motherly work like cooking and cleaning. She's also an excellent swimmer.
• Possessions and Assets:
  • Loadout:
    • Ten shuriken
    • Two Kunai
    • Five Smoke Bombs
    • A stack of 35 explosive tags
    • A couple rolls of bandages
    • a pouch of 20 vials for inks and scents
  • Assets and other Possessions: Lives with her family, who owns the village's largest restaurant, where she helps run and cook with her family. She is the oldest of 7 brothers and sisters.
• Bio: The Fujiwara clan began with Princess Tamatori, an energetic and powerful young girl. She met a man, Fujiwara no Fuhito, who was searching for his family treasure, taken from him by a dragon god of the sea. Tamatori, brave as ever, dives under the ocean to the dragon god's palace, and is attacked by him and his army of sea creatures. The octopuses, entranced by her beauty and her sweet smelling scent, rescue her and take her to the surface. Still, they did not want to let her go. When she tried to leave, the octopuses captured her and made her their queen. The Tale of the Fisherman's Wife would go on to be a famous legend. There isn't anyone educated in the ninja world who doesn't know about the scandalous origins of the Fujiwara clan. She was later rescued by Fujiwara, and they went on to create an alliance with the octopuses. There have been a couple of small wars between them, usually either about the clan using octopuses for food, or the octopuses stealing the clan's women. But they maintain overall peace. Hikage was raised by her father, a great cook, and her mother, a great shinobi. Often, she is forced to take care of her siblings, and be a mother to them. She has decided that both of these are her life's goal. To provide for her large family.
