Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Takayuki Leon Mazogawa

Age: 17

Village: Gaioh

Rank: Jounin

Clan: Akuma Clan

Appearence:

Bio: Originaly born in the village of Konoha, Taka came to the great village of Gaioh at age 14. He was just a baby when the great war came about and his mother had died it it. His father, however, had left his mother while she was pregnant with Taka. He was taken care of by his aunt until she became ill and couldn't any longer. That is when he left. For a year, Taka did nothing to be a ninja, but six days after his 15th birthday, he enrolled and received on of his best friends as a teacher, the leader or the Ketushai clan, Soul. After graduating the accademy, Taka advanced through the shinobi ladder, coming in second in the Chunnin tornument, failing the Jounin tornument the first time around, and then winning it the second. Taka now is training to become worthy of ANBU level.

Name: Manndar Gorlok

Age: 17

Village: Gaioh

Clan: None

Birthday: March 5th

Rank: Jounin

Position: Chakra teacher Jounin squad leader

Special Skill: Unique thinkier

Fighting Style: Random jutsus, mostly Taijutsu. More specifically, Hapkido. Uses kunai, exploding tags, a 35 kg hammer rune engraved by hephesteaus, and a 70kg hammer


Height: Roughly 5 feet eight inches

Background: He was born in a ninja free village and was trained in the art of Hapkido. He got into a fight with a local group of thugs and won. In that confrontation, he accidentally killed them and was exiled from his village for it. Shortly after that, he met Aona in his travels.

He quickly became friends with her, and he came with her family to Gaioh to become a ninja. Upon arrival, he began to fend for himself. He accommodated an abandoned tool shed, which he eventually rebuilt into his home. He was trained by Chaos-sensei and was in the same genin squad as Aona, Dre, and Hyro. When Kold Shiro attacked the spectators in the arena, he suffered a tremendous blow from it. He forgot most of his jutsu and memories of his old home. He was never able to gain revenge on Kold yet. Manndar and his good friend, Aona, challenged Nekage to a bout in the arena. Manndar accidentally shot her with a water bullet, and they have been on thin ice with each other ever since. Manndar had come to forgive himself, but he still wants Aona's forgiveness because she is his best friend. He hoped that knocking the sense into her in the jounin exams would suffice, but he was unfortunate to not even be in the same bracket as her. Manndar fought through two rounds one against former squad mate Dre and one against Forza, and he won them both through controversial circumstances. His opponent in the finals was none other than Aona.

Personality: Determined, very unusual, out spoken, loyal, and slightly masochistic.

My made up moves:

Herald's Trumpet- Burping into the bird handsign makes a sonic wave that stops most small projectiles in their tracks.

True Herald's Trumpet - the same as Herald's trumpet except it targets the inner ear only, causing painful damage to everyone in range, including the user. The user also has additional side effects due to the method of sound. A birp caused stomach pains, a sneeze can shatter the nose.

Chakra Cannon: Ika Bakudan: A form of the chakra cannon. It is close range and uses black rain to form a wrist band that has water whipping out like whips due to the concentrated power of the technique. It is executed through a jab and releases a close range blast and multiple whip lashing with the force to rip off skin. It uses alot of chakra.

Jutsus: Illusion jutsu, Water Clone Jutsu, Transformation jutsu, Replacement Jutsu, Water Release: Gunshot, Water Release: Water Encampment Wall , Hidden Mist Jutsu, Water Dragon Jutsu, Water style: Sticky water, water shark bomb, water release: squid wall, creating water

Water Grenades
A technique was devised mostly for multiple opponent but could work just as well as against a single opponent, it was developed with a great amount of help thanks to the Haku Clan. It is actually a complex technique that most Mist nin love for one reason or other, one gathers some of the moisture in the area molding it with their chakra into waterballs about the size of the average kid's fist, they form 10 of these balls and launch them to surround an opponent(s) hovering them for a moment and then launching them all at once against them

Water Release: Black Rain technique
This jutsu creates a flammable black mist that forms a small cloud. The user can then move the cloud above their target and disperse it, covering the target in flammable black water.

Ghost Step
A sound altering genjutsu, one completely reverses the hearing of the target. Sounds from the left seem to come from the right, up from down, and more commonly, sounds from the behind the user seem to come from the front, as this is where the jutsu's name comes from. The target hears the user's footsteps, but doesn't see them until it is most likely too late. Works excellent with clones, as it makes them seem to be more than illusions.

Biransei no Jutsu
This Ninjutsu technique creates a cloud of poisonous gas that erupts from the ninja's mouth in a stream. The cloud clears a distance between the ninja and their enemy, as not to capture the ninja himself within it's area of effect.

Genjutsu Kai
A Ninjutsu technique where the ninja focuses their chakra and screams "kai" or "release." They can perform it on themselves or on others. It will effectively ward off most Genjutsu, unless extremely powerful or when used in conjunction with an advanced bloodline.

Chakra cannon: a launched attack of pure chakra. It uses a lot of chakra, but is explosive and can destroy almost anything.

Summons: Squirrels

Weights: 3 of them

1) his chuunin vest. Every pocket is filled with heavy weights.

2) left leg: A lot, but unknown because Manndar had never actually weighed them.

3)right leg: A lot, but unknown because Manndar had never actually weighed them.

Name: Atsuma Kamui
Age: 15
Village: Gaioh
Clan: Seisatsu
Position: Seisatsu Clan Head
Rank: JOUNIN!

Specialty: Genjutsu
Companion white/grey barn owl named Oracle.(see Atsuma's house for details)
Fighting Style: Mostly Genjutsu and Ninjutsu. Soft style taijutsu.
Special Jutsu:
Chakra blacksmith allows for the intricate molding of chakra to create weapons or items out of chakra, that would otherwise be imposible.
Katon goukakyuu no jutsu:this jutsu comsumes a huge amount of chakra to produce a huge flame thrower style fire ball. Chakra is pooled in the hand and mouth and than spit out into a torrent of plame, making it seem as through the user is actually breathing fire. It covers a large area but forces the user to remain stationary for the duration of the technique.~mastered
Katon Ryuuka no Jutsu:after gathering all the chakra in his mouth, the ninja will create so much flame that a red-hot fire will light up around him. All that chakra is then converted into fire inside the ninja's mouth, and it is all ejected at once, creating an extremely long blaze of fire, going directly to the opponent. This technique is agile, fast, and strong, and almost always the victim will die or suffer severe burns on his entire body. Its drawbacks; none, except the fact that it uses up a whole lot of chakra. Most likely, though, any ninja trying to perform it knows his limits, so it isn't really a drawback.
Katon Housenka: a very powerful and flexible technique. Instead of following the way of the other fire techniques, Housenka is unique by creating many small, yet powerful fireballs from the users mouth.
Kyuushuu no Chakra: allows the wielder to steal chakra through physical contact.~Mastered
Self taught Jutsu:
Possession: This jutsu allows the user to claim control of another body through eye contact. Chakra is used to seep in through the eyes and into the mind, linking the victim to the user and allowing the former to be used like a puppet.
Drawback: the puppet moves by mirroring the master... user steps forward; puppet steps forward and so on. If eye contact is lost the skill is also broken.~mastered
Haunt: An illusionary technique that can be used two ways. The first use is to enter dreams and manipulate them, perhaps gaining valuable information or causing serious mental damage.
The second allows the user to draw out an opponent?s fears and turn it into reality through illusions on the combat field. They may make a enemy think they are some where they're not, or being attacked by something that isn't there. In many cases feelings of terror, despair and imagined phsyical pain can cripple an opponent mentally and in turn leave them physically vunerable. In some cases it may send the victum into a coma. This jutsu is very hard to break and requires a high level of skill to escape once submerged.
Drawback: any damage given must be done physically. This skill does not deal physical damage alone.
Night Eyes: a basic skill developed to put Atsuma's light sensative eyes to good use. It is night vision, or the use of chakra to track movement and heat while allowing perfect sight in the dark. this skill requires very little chakra.
Night Fall A genjutsu targeting only the eyes, This skill causes blindness in an oppoent by casting their world into pitch black. It's simply seems as though the target had had a black bag pulled over their head that they can not touch feel or pull off... they are blinded
Mimic: Atsuma, with the use of his sensative eyes and chakra enhanced vision, may see and copy the current of previous actions of an opponent, preforming their most recent skill as if it were his own. This does not mean he had learned the skill, simply that he can use it once, and if he practiced, perhaps master it later.
Foresight- another visionary technique, this skill allows it's user to see moves seconds before they hit, giving them superb reaction time as long as they use chakra to sustain the technique.
Sentinal: This skill allows the user to see through the eyes of a bonded, through a chakra link... in atsuma's case, his owl oracle's eyes, giving him a bird's eye view.
Flare:Flare. This skill uses Oracle to swoop over a target, and with atsuma channeling chakra through him, drop white hot sparks that gather toward living opponents, leeching chakra upon contact and if allowed to group in large numbers, quickly draining enegery to incapcitate. This skill also would pinpoint hidden foes sense the sparks cluster towards live organisms rather than illusions.
Black Rain: This skill rains black oil down upon a target area after turning the sky an inky black color. Atsuma may than use a katon jutsu to set the space aflame... or simply leave the oil for a tractionless field.
Ghost-Kami No JutsuA skill that took much practice to learn, this technique allows the user to become insubstantial for a moment, letting them walk through walls, or allow other things to pass through them(aka, projectiles, other bodies, fire... they literally become spectral temporarily.
Draw back- walking through walls without knowlege of depth may result in entrapment when the skill wears off. you may also not prefrom physical attacks while this Jutsu is in use.
Spirit Walk This skill, as of yet unmastered and highly unstable, allows Atsuma to shift planes, actually disapearing from our world complete to walk the spirit plane that parralels it. From the world of the living it looks as if he has simply teleported, not by incredible speed but a true telepartation. This also allows him to travel long distances in seconds as time on the two planes is scewed. Unfortunately, walking the path's of the dead tears away at the soul. To long in that world and you are lost.
Soul Clone Using a dulled down version of haunt, Atsuma may pull figures from his opponents mind(aka: family, friends, teachers... people or animals importants to the target) and use their images to create clones to stand against the loved one they were stolen from. Later he hopes to repeat the skill with shadow clones.
Grave Voices: This techinique targets the an oppoenents hearing with a genjutsu. The target will suddenly start hearing ghostly voices, shrieking, crying shouting whispering...all overlapping until the noise in their head is so loud they can not hear anything else. They starts deceptively quiet and gets louder until it is unbarable and can cause the target to simply break down mid fight, fall to their knees and clutch their head. That would be the most despireable effect but if the mental break down doesn't occure this skill still leaves opponents effectively deaf. In combinations with "night fall" to blind the opponent it can be extremely crippling.
Spirit Bind- Kami Kanashibari no jutsu - A variant of the body freeze skill, spirit bind is a ninjutsu that actually reaches into the spirit realm to draw out spirit energy to bind the target to hold them still. It would be like a bunch of invisable hands holding you, or your muscles suddenly seizing up. The energies that bind are very cold and drain energy out of the victim and into the spirit realm, slowly killing them. This skill is somewhat dangeorus as impure spirit chakra may backfire, leeching life force from the weilder and then departing without effect. One must be careful to summon only un-corrupt spirits.- Atsuma learned this skill after finding his fathers notes on the spirit plane.
Spirit Boxing Style Using soft boxing taijutsu Atsuma harness spirit energy to attack further. When hit with spirit energy a ninja's normal chakra will be disrupted making it very hard to control as well as dimished or drained away(a very small amount is actually lost but repeated blows can become deterimental) The limb or skin that is hit experiences a moment of cold pain and prickling and than goes numb or dead(dead arm). The deration of this effect depends on the Ninja it is inflicted upon. Some may shake it off in mere minutes while others loose the use of that limb for up to an hour. The disruption and drainage of chakra lasts longer and may not be recovered for days.
Trigger techniques (Hikigane no jutsu)-A set of Genjutsu that enter through eye contact and can trigger chemical changes in the brain and cause different states of mind. All trigger techniques require eye contact to dispell and initiate.
~Depression Trigger sad Ikisosou Hikigane) This technique can calm almost any target to a near sleeping state. They're mind become clear and free of all distractions, but it slows the synapses and the motivation to act drops greatly. The technique is very helpful during thought and allows easy planning of strategies, even for the biggest idiot.
~Anger Trigger: (Rokujou Hikigane) This technique uses the emotion agner to send a target or oneself in a raging fury before death can take them. They are often so overcome with anger that they lose their personality and can fight until their body literally falls apart. The anger trigger releases all bodily limits, but blinds the target so greatly that they are unable to use techniques. When used on oneself, another ninja would have to dispell the technique for you.
~Pleasure Tigger: (Tanoshimi Hikigane) This trigger stimulates the chemicals that make one feel good, useful to ease the pain of a dieing comrade, or eliminate pain to become mobile after a painful, but un-cruppling attack. It can also be used to make it seem like an attack never occurred, tricking the opponent into a false sense of security, making them fight, then releaseing the technique to deliver all the pain at once and force unconciousness.
~Pain Trigger: (Kurushimi Hikigane) Another trigger technique, this triggers the bodily chemicals that maintain pain in certain parts of the body, making it difficult to do certain actions. The most common application is to make the eyes hurt or the hands and fingers, sometimes the feet aswell.
~Fear Trigger: (Yuuku Hikigane) A simple genjutsu which probes the brain and releases chemicals that put the human mind in a state of fear. Used offensively, the technique can make the enemy harder to defeat in a quick fight, but will make them use up their own stamina extremely quickly. Used on one's self, it's a similar technique to the chakra gates. By putting the brain in a state of fear, you become more aware and react twice as fast. The body releases alot of adrenaline into the body and releases most of the muscular limitations. The drawback is that it's difficult to move slowly and delicately, and entering this state of mind, fingers often tremble too much to properly perform techniques. The result could be a fireball accidentally exploding inside of one's own cheeks.

Interests: Atsuma would like to learn the Kage bunshin no jutsu's:



History: An only child, Atsuma was praised as a genius in his family. He worked very hard to live up to the title. His father, a ninja of the Gaioh clan, and his mother a simple villager raised him until he was seven. Then this mother became ill and passed away, leaving his father in a state of detached grievance. Their relationship deteriorated as his dad fell further and further into despair. Nothing seemed to please him, and nothing Atsuma ever did seemed good enough anymore. The once glowing pride that his father had held for him had blinked out. Now the man could hardly look at Atsuma, for fear of seeing his lost wife.
Three years latter his father at last gave into his loss and killed himself. Atsuma was left alone. His grandparents paid for him to remain in the village and continue his training at the ninja academy but didn?t have the energy to really take him in. He lives by himself now, two years after the death of his father and five years after the loss of his mother. Tragic. He however never cried at the death of his parents. Perhaps he was just heartless like the other children claimed or maybe he just didn?t know how to cry. It doesn?t matter really. The fact is he never cries, never gets angry, and never seems truly happy. He just is, and that?s that.

Events Atsuma entered the academy at the age of 11 and passed quickly through to the rank of Genin. He was as quiet in school as at home and failed to make many friends . Shinji and Amaya became his only real friends and the only people he ever actually talked to.

He trained hard and learned fast, some time working with Amaya to spare or taking on other genin in challenges. When it came around to the Chuunin exams, Atsuma was 13 and ready to go head on with the other students. After passing the initial exams, He was matched up with Manndar for his first match in the Chuunin tournaments. It was a tough fight and it left Atsuma drained but victorious. He moved onto the second round, against Kinin who proved even more difficult to beat. In the end Atsuma came close to losing that fight but Kinin attempted a killing technique, and was disqualified. Again Atsuma Advanced.
By now Atsuma was fast becoming a genin to watch, he was perhaps the youngest participent but had made it to the semi-finals, and many belived he might take the entire tournament. He might have had a chance to. His last opponent was Kyo(DarkFox), but after his near death in the previous match, something had broken down inside Atsuma, and without even striking a true hit on either side he withdrew from the competetion entirely.

Even with his brash descision, Atsuma made the rank of Chuunin, and continued training on his own. He opted out of the up-comming Jounin tourney and focused on is skills, while watching the others compete for their titles and ranks.

Recently, Atsuma stummbled upon his families journals that had been tucked away in a dusty corner of the loft, hidden in the floor under a loose board. These books and scrolls contained the Kamui(family name meaning spirit) secrets and the reasoning behind their name. There were notes on the spirit realm and ways to harness the powers of the dead in the form of ninjutsu. There was even a summon scroll which Atsuma has yet been able to use but it suggests the ability to summon souls as some ninja would summon dog or snakes. He kept this new found secret even from his room mate shinji, and studied only when no one was around.

Slowly he is learning what it means to be a spirit ninja, and it turns out Oracle is not just any owl. The owl tribe was known for bonding with Kamui members, though it was rare, and oracle is what would be called a 'spirit' owl. Like the dogs that fight for a family in the leaf clan, owls have allied themselves with the kamui family.

In an Attack on the Ketushai clan Atsuma met a ninja calling himself the medevil ninja in battle. At his level Atsuma held his own fairly well and took only superficial injuries until his enemy led him into a trap and impaled him on the spikes of his armor. Atsuma might have died that day but Sakon came for him, and it seemed he would heal. Ludwig however had perminately left his mark in the form of an odd scar on the young chuunin's back. It was the irong ninja's crest.

Shortly after Atsuma entered the Jounin exams, winning his way to the finals after defeating his former academy instructor through the use of his new spirit skills. It wa gory vitory but the devastation he caused did not seem to phase the albino nin and he went on to the finals an became a Jounin. He was also gifted with a silken style armor from his best friend Shinji... a garmet he wears under his clothing every-where he goes.

As a Jounin Atsuma selected his own team of genin to train... Sachi, Ketsu and Namine all of which were very gifted.

As his Genin went on to the Chuunin exams Atsuma decided to finally prosue a source of constant nagging. Chaos. Chaos was the reason for Shinji's strange behavior and the source of the demon vines. Atsuma was determined to find out more about this shinobi.

He waited until Chaos would take his rest period and than invaded his mind with an original jutsu 'haunt'... sifting through his memories in search of plans, and a weakness. He found Chaos's worst fears as well as a distrubing plan involving Shinji, but was cut short in his search when Chaos discovered him.

He was forced to flee and returned to his home to search out Shinji but Chaos was waiting for him... and in his weakened state Atsuma did his best to evade him. To no avail, Chaos caught up and the fight was unavoidable as well as futile. Atsuma put up as good a fight as he could without Genjutsu and already serverely depleted chakra stores but lost with only minor wounds inflicted to his foe...

His punishment was no death but something far worse for a shinobi of his talents. Chaos sealed his chakra, locking away any skills outside of taijutsu. Atsuma was left a cripple in every way that mattered... he was useless as a shinobi.
Appearance: Atsuma is frail in appearance, pale skinned and slim with large doll like eyes of a pale crimson hue that lend them-selves towards a near pink shade. His family, The Kamui(meaning spirit) all possess the same strange eyes and white hair. They are albino, people born without pigmentation, and so are very sensitive to the sun and bright light. Thus the blindfold;
Atsuma covershis eyes with thin black gauze during the day to protect his retinas without hindering his vision overly much. However at night he sees twice as well as an average ninja and has developed skills to work with his special condition.
Atsuma is small of build, even for his age, and slender like a wild cat. His hair, snowy white hangs at about shoulder length and his face, angular but soft with youth seems vaguely feline when coupled with his large ruby eyes.

Bio: as a kid his father experimented with the powers of curse seals as well as the mythical meteor that founded the peacock but when he could no longer able experiment on himself he turned to his son who at first was very willing to help his father but as time moved on the experiments got out of hand they began having odd effects on him so as he began his ninja training he was able to produce a large amount of the peacock's chakra and its healing form but this had a tool on Sakon's body it began to rapidly age not only in appearance his father realizing this took parts of the meteor and fled to the village of the hidden sound to sell its power to the highest bidder. As Sakon realized what potential he had untapped he began to fear himself and vowed to undo what his father had done to him and as time went on he had made progress finding out weaknesses to curse seals and possibly how to remove them and after decades of research and training he had found out that he could appear normal somewhat to the other ninja in his village he had discovered how to reverse his aging process to some degree now appearing in his late 20's is actually in his 40's. now as he continues his training and research in gaioh village he hopes to cure himself of his fathers bidding and retrieve what parts of the peacock meteor that he hasn't already.(more to come Later)

Name: Shuji Kimura

Gender: Male

Age: 14

Birthday: November 19th

Clan: None

Rank: Jounin

Village: Gaioh

Appearance:

Bio: Shuji has lived a rather normal life with his parents. Since a young age, his parents always encouraged him to enter into the academy, figuring that he would make an excellent ninja, and possibly surpass his father and older brother. Shuji's brother Kenji, after moving up through the ranks, went on a mission and never returned. It's yet unconfirmed if he was K.I.A or just went rogue. It has always been a goal in Shuji's life to find out exactly what happened to his brother in order to give himself and his family a little closure on the whole ordeal.

Upon graduation from the Academy, Shuji was put under the command of the Jounin Scout. Shuji liked to refer to his teacher as Scout-sensei, and offered him as much respect as is possible. Though Scout was absent for a great deal of their training, he did give Shuji and his teammates Aurara and Rob the ok to compete in the Chuunin Exams. The initial rounds, set up as a team battle, found the three boys up against Kashin, a jounin from the Gaioh Village. Though none of them were able to beat Kashin, Shuji was allowed to advance to the next round. He felt bad about this, but continued to fight, hoping to make his teammates proud of him.

It has recently been revealed by Shuji's parents that his family specialized in the usage of sound jutsu. They kept this a secret from most of the village, figuring that anything the Kimura family could keep as their own would give them an edge if there ever came a time for a civil war in the Gaioh Village.

Shuji has recently become a Chuunin in the Gaioh Village. Though excited about his new achievement, he was less than pleased with his performance in the tournament. He lost by surrendering to Kei in he first round after sustaining several wounds from his wind blades. While not resentful of Kei in any manner, Shuji wished that he had been able to do better and move on past the first round. He's since started to train even harder. The next step in his life is the jounin tournament. Hopefully he'll make that rank as well.

The next step for Shuji, before the Jounin exams took place, was he standing on the Ichijin War. Having taken a spot in Chaos' army, Shuji faced many Ichijin warriors. Though never revealed to anyone, Shuji only took on a role in Chaos' army in order to prevent any damage that would done by the Ichijin. He in no way supported what Chaos was doing, and vowed that once he was strong enough, he would do whatever it took to stop the ANBU Co-Captain from destroying the village.

The Jounin Exams came and went, leaving Shuji in the hospital after an embarassing defeat at the hands of fellow Earth Shinobi Forza. This defeat has left Shuji with feelings of self-hatred and depression. He's decided, though only at the age of thirteen, that the next step for himself is to leave the village, going on a long journey to find himself. He plans to train as much as he can, and gain as much strength as possible so he can catch up and rejoin his friends.

Shuji learned much on his journey away from the village. He had gained strength and personal growth through his time away. Not everything was easy, but somehow he managed to survive and made it back to the village in time for the Jounin Exams. While still only having a mediocre performance in the exams, he was promoted to the next rank. He now looks forward to meeting his new team and starting them on their way to becoming Chuunin.

Personality: Shuji's a very nice, quiet boy. He likes to read, train, and will eat just about anything that's edible. However, he does like to fight very much, and that has, on occasion gotten him into some trouble with the other students.

Fighting Style: Basic Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, and Taijutsu. He's started to use a lot of Earth-based jutsu, finding that his chakra is more fine-tuned to that particular element. He has also started to use more sound-based jutsu, though they seem more Genjutsu-like in nature. His taijutsu is starting to get a little better, though he still needs a lot of work on them.

Special Skills: Though young, Shuji does have exceptionally good chakra control. He's starting to use it now that Aki-sensei has taught him how to climb up trees without his hands and how to walk on water. His hearing has also increased greatly through his training and his honing of his Sound Jutsu. This has given him a slight edge over the other Shinobi.

Username: AlthorEnchantor

Name: Morigana Westly (Family Name uses the characters for "Forest" and "Play", given name is Western)

Age: ?? (he left it blank in the village registry and pretty much lies about it constantly; he looks like he's in his late teen years)

Gender: Male

Race: Kinain (Human with distant Fey ancestry)

Element: Mist (Water is too heavy...)

Specialty: Genjutsu, Mist Techniques

Rank: Jounin.

Village: Village Hidden in the Forest of Mists

Clan: Seisatsu.

Position: Public Relations (self-appointed)

Weapons: A pair of retractable katars mounted on the back of his wrists. These keep his hands free to perform hand seals. For ranged weapons, he prefers variety over potency: he carries countless needles, a handful of a shuriken, a couple tomahawks, and a crossbow. Westly also carries a set of tools and lockpicks and such, which, while pointy, are not recommended for use as weapons. He also carries a large number of "Mist Beads", bluish glass spheres roughly the size of a hen's egg; breaking them creates a cloud of mist identical to Mist Release: Awaken, below.

Backstory: There's not much to say about Westly's life story that isn't better said on the topic of his personality. His life was, for the most part, happy and uneventful, save for the one incident that led him to be transferred to Gaioh to complete his academy lessons. Westly inadvertently caused one of his professors, a far more powerful ninja, to become severely injured. While such incidents are not entirely unheard of, Westly's bears particular mention due to the uniqueness of the incident. There were no combat or jutsus involved; Westly simply got into an extended philosophical debate with his professor on the nature of reality, and the elder ninja suffered a minor brain hemorrhage from merely trying to contemplate the full ramifications of Westly's point of view. Needless to say, Westly was declared the victor. And then exiled. He wandered for a long while before eventually showing up in Gaioh.

Personality: A playful trickster, Westly can go to enormous lengths to mess with fools and anyone who takes life too seriously. His 'inner Quixote', as he puts it, drives him to right wrongs, protect the innocent, and vanquish the villainous. Constantly joking around, it usually takes impending danger to himself or others to get him to be remotely serious.

History to Date: Probably the first thing he ever did in Gaioh was offer candy and wine coolers to Maradreay, which sounds a LOT worse out of context. This was followed by mouthing off to Nekage, who Westly did not recognize at the time, new to the village as he was. These two events mark the only acts of complete stupidity Westly has ever committed.

Westly's Arena record is, at present, perfect, and he'd like to keep it that way; he will decline challenges that he doesn't believe he is likely to win. Conversely, if he agrees to fight you, don't get your hopes up.

Westly was a founding member of the Seisatsu Clan. He was reluctant at first due to "Personality Differences", but in the end, he joined for that very reason: without the pretense of clan ties, it was unlikely that any of the Genjutsu specialists in Gaioh would so much as speak to him. As one of the only friendly and likeable people in the Seisatsu Clan, Westly tries to act as a spokesperson and liaison for his clan whenever possible; without his empathy and charisma to smooth out diplomacy, Seisatsu may find itself with more enemies than so young a clan can deal with.

Westly was recruited by Forza to join the Delinquents and joined Aona's Jounin squad. He struck a deal with Midori and Kobushi, offering some Genjutsu lessons for knowledge of basic puppetry and the construction of fireworks, respectively. He's currently undergoing med-nin training as well. Combined with his membership in the Seisatsu and his various business ventures, Westly may very well be the newest rising star in Gaioh.

On their first day, Westly's Genin Squad came under attack by an assassin after Aona's life. Midori was killed and Aona was incapacitated, though she managed to spare Westly and Maradreay. His commanding officer unable to perform her duty, Westly took command of the situation, acting as de facto lieutenant. He engaged the enemy, but, recognizing his own inability to win such a fight, called for reinforcements. He chose Team Kei due to their proximity (ANBU would have taken longer to arrive due to Team Aona's distance from the village proper), and because of Kei's relationship with Aona. Westly stalled the enemy just long enough for help to arrive, then retreated back to his injured comrades. Admirable work for a Genin on his first day of training.

Westly was chosen to represent the Seisatsu in the Genin bracket of the Clan Tournament. He fought Sheena of the Ichijin, Harou of the Ketushai, and Pyroka of the Akuma. Westly won all three battles, maintaining his perfect record.

Fighting Style: Westly isn't strong so much as he is intelligent, and more than a little devious. Officially a practitioner of Tai Chi, Westly's fighting style is acrobatic and elusive, revolving more around avoiding attacks than launching them. Fond of traps and seals, he'll often attempt to lure his opponents into terrain that works in his favor, either naturally or because he's already booby-trapped it in advance. If he believes himself outclassed, he's not above fleeing or calling for help. Unlike others who boast of their cleverness in battle, Westly has, time and again, managed to make good on his boasts. He is rapidly developing a reputation in Gaioh as a tactical genius. He's probably the only Chuunin candidate who needs to work on his combat ability more than his leadership skills.

Appearance: Dresses almost exclusively in blues and greens, with hair and eyes to match. Favors outfits with many pockets for their utility. He owns a pocketed vest reminiscent of the official "Jounin Vest", which also serves a secondary purpose as a prop to help him fast-talk people who wouldn't otherwise listen to a Genin's advice. Often smiling, which, depending on context, makes him look either more child-like and cute, or just plain creepy.

Special Skills:
-Sleight of Hand: Westly's ability to perform "basic skills" with chakra is exceptional, outclassing many higher-ranked ninja, most of whom just never bothered to perfect something so menial. He's even able to perform a variety of minor household chores using chakra alone.

Quotes:
"I laugh because I get the joke. Maybe one day you will, too."

"A peacock's tail has no real purpose. It does nothing. It can hurt no one. And yet, predators run in fear from it. The illusion of power where there is no power is, in and of itself, powerful. In short, the quintessence of Genjutsu."

"We define reality by what our senses can experience. But if our senses can be deceived, what does that say about reality? What if the world itself is nothing more than an illusion forged by a deity to hide a greater truth? And what would happen if someone dispelled it?"

"What diff'rence, then, 'tween gods and men?
So clear, the lie: what bleeds, may die."

Known Techniques:
((Note: As a Genjutsu specialist, Westly has a tendency to lie when he's "calling his attacks", as they say. His techniques are listed below by their actual names. What he calls them in the middle of a battle may vary.

Furthermore, this was getting crazy long because of my overly-thorough descriptions. For the sake of brevity, I'm cutting it down to 'the gist' of what each jutsu does. Ask me if you need clarification.

Treat damage done by Westly's illusions as real unless resisted or dispelled. Otherwise, it wears off at the end of the battle. ))

Auto-Hypnosis- A self-only Genjutsu, always on. Allows Westly to turn off his senses, ignore pain, stabilize himself emotionally, and think quickly.

Mist Release: Awaken- A cloud of thick, obscuring mist fills the area, making it difficult to see anything more than a few feet away. Lasts indefinitely indoors. Will eventually dissipate if used outside. Westly can see anything in the cloud by sensing the negative space the mist doesn't occupy.

Mist Release: Control- Manipulates a cloud of mist. Westly uses this frequently to dampen sound and fire, or to redirect electricity as it travels through the conductive medium.

Mist Release: Summon- Sculpts a cloud of mist and then 'paints' a Genjutsu on top of it. The result is similar to a clone, except the wounds are illusory. Westly's fond of velociraptors and rhinoceroses when he wants to scare people, and bees when he just wants to deal damage.

Peacock Flare- An illusory blast of energy. Because it doesn't use mist as a medium, it's much more easily dispelled than Westly's other techniques.

Dream Thread- A long string of faintly glowing goop that sticks to solid surfaces. Thematically unrelated to spiders, but functionally identical to Spiderman's Web-Shooters. Westly uses it for duct tape, rope, grappling hook, etc. Not a viable attack.

Fuuinjutsu: Fata Morgana- By deluding himself into believing that an opponent's Genjutsu is real, it becomes so. The illusion is sealed and can no longer be controlled as such. Illusory animals act according to their instincts and nature, illusory fires can be affected by fire jutsu, illusory ropes can be chewed through, etc. Wears off at the end of the fight. Westly cannot use this on anything he knows is an illusion.

Mist Release: Bacchus Sigh- A Genjutsu placed on a cloud of mist simulates drunkenness to all who breathe it. Smells like a winery.

Rain of a Thousand Needles- Westly's hands blur as he throws a flurry of needles in a cone-shaped spread. About one needle in three is real; the rest are illusions.

Hitomi- Westly charges straight at an enemy; from their perspective, he's already closed the distance before he seems to take more than a single step. Certain creatures, most notably praying mantises, hunt using a tactic called 'motion camouflage', wherein they stalk up to their prey without actually seeming to move. Now add Genjutsu and Flashstep to the equation. Due to the optical illusion involved, this can only be used in a straight line directly towards an opponent over open ground. It is crazy hard to dodge.

Starstorm- A variant of Rain of a Thousand Needles. Same principle, except replace "needles" with "fireworks".

Kinjutsu: Inchoatus Opera- As a desperation move, Westly unlocks the mental seal he places on techniques that he isn't done developing yet; fielding his prototypes, as it were. Unfinished jutsus are DANGEROUS. If the chakra molding is off, it could do less than nothing or it could kill the user.

Disclaimer: All of the above is highly inaccurate. Westly's author hasn't updated it in a while, and Westly himself lies constantly.
