Naruto OCs babble

boooooooooored. Anyone's got surveys to fill? There's one floating around, but I think either I filled it already or it's so alike the previous one it's not worth it. ;__;




-Naruto is not allowed to name anyone after anything related to ramen. At all. Ever.

No, Misoko would not be an adorable name for a little girl.

-Sakura has veto power on anything, no questions asked. But if her kid to name ends up being a boy, she's not allowed to give him a flower name. Even to fit in with her family tradition.

No, not even a manly flower.

-Sasuke is not allowed to name them after dead people, because it's depressing and they want their kids to know they're not instead-of. Traditional family names are okay, as long as it won't make the kid get laughed out of the school yard.

Don't even joke about calling them Uchihako or Uchihamaru.



I've been having a lot of fun creating Naruto OCs recently. Team Summons, NaruSasuSaku's future children in Teamwork... And I'm realizing that I kinda like it. *gasp* Not as main characters, but as secondary, hell yeah. XD



If you have ideas, questions, something is unclear or doesn't work for you, please don't hesitate to poke and prod. What's there is not stats on existing characters, per se, it's me taking an idea and running with it. It's still not the definitive version. They're not going to be super-important, but I still like imagining stuff about them, even if it never makes it into the fic.


-The summons don't come from their families, they were handed over by their jounin-sensei, matched by personality.

-They're around 15-16 and quite good at what they do (otherwise pitting Team Seven against them would be boring. XD) Their sensei just wanted to make sure they would go through the tests without much hassle. (also it's actually pretty rare to have rookies in an exam. There were lots of teenagers and adults in that room. Okay, they all ended up weeded out thanks to plot-no-jutsu, but I think 15 year old is an okay age for a first chuunin exam. XD)

Zenko (zenkokourou: (exp) one calamity followed close on the heels of another (lit: keeping at bay a tiger at the front gate, while a wolf appears at the back))
(female)
Body Type: Medium size, slender
Age: 15
Personality: haughty and proud, of her beauty and of her prowess with her sword too, very conscious of her image and class, not very chatty, sarcastic and bitchy. Judges people for what they are, and often harshly and contemptuously.

Unique Characteristics: knee-length black hair, dyed blonde bangs, makes up her mouth with just a stripe of red in the middle of her lower lip, narrow face and eyes narrow and tilted a bit too high to be pretty, but she convinced herself it gives her a smart, sharp look and doesn't mar her beauty any. (she's not as flawless as she thinks she is, but somewhat striking)

Ninja techniques:
-Genjutsu: basics (*)
-Ninjutsu: summoning technique: Wolf summon (* * *)
-Taijutsu: sword techniques (* * * *) hand to hand (* * * -- mostly because her weight and size don't let her hit hard enough or reach very far), kunai-throwing (* *)

Background: Comes from an old, rich ninja family. They don't have a bloodline, but they're still a powerful and influential clan.
-Education: Tutored at home even after she entered the Academy; now being taught by a Jounin who specializes in Summons.
-How did his family impact the character? : It reinforced her tendency to be haughty and superior.

Likes: winning, showing up people she doesn't like, her favorite wolf summon

Dislikes: LOSING. >O Looking stupid.

Hobbies: curious about a blacksmith's job, but she just likes to watch and learn how to recognize a good blade, she doesn't really want to try it herself. (mostly because the one time she tried was a horrible failure and she'd rather pretend it never happened and she never even wanted to try, than risk having it happen again.)

Friends, significant others: Maneki is a better friend to her than Kon is -- she argues with Kon often, Maneki is more calm and steady -- but they're all friends. Too good for boyfriends, but she'll allow admirers to send her stuff.

Longterm goals: taking the leadership of her family.


Character as she sees herself: Powerful, warrior-princess, superior, doesn't get attached
Character as others see her: standoffish, aggressive bitch (most people) prideful, painfully honest, fiercely loyal (friends)

How does the character react to stress? : She gets very quiet, gritted teeth, verbally aggressive if someone else says useless things, might even attack even someone stronger than her if she feels caged-in enough. She can't stand not being in control, or having someone she doesn't trust in control (which is basically her parents or uncles, her sensei, and her teammates).

What are the character's thoughts on : (how would she react to:)

-Murder? (Killing in self-defense? Killing in cold blood? Could she do it and how would it impact him?)
Killing is part of the job, which she can do in cold blood, and she would kill someone who makes her furious enough. She doesn't like it, but that's more for the losing control aspect than because someone died. She's not very sympathetic. Also, a job is a job -- it's distasteful, but it must be done. Still, she likes missions where she can face off against someone on the battlefield a lot better than killing from behind or with poison. It leaves her honor and that or her adversary intact, and allows her to use skills she is proud of.

-Sex? (importance of chastity, choice of partners, opinion on others who don't share her views? "not there yet"? Homosexuality, in herself, in others?))
Chastity doesn't matter, but indiscriminate people are to be sneered at. Have some taste and decorum, people. As for herself, she feels she is too good for a lot of people and has better things to do. She will tolerate admirers, but she has no interest in sex. She tried it once, because her Kunoichi teacher said it was better to lose it voluntarily than on a mission, and the physical side was alright, but nothing to write home about. The boy tried to kiss her afterwards, which was not alright at all.
Homosexuality is an oddity, but one she doesn't much care to dwell on.

-Theft? (is it okay to steal from rich people? Big companies? Shops? Little grandmas? Only when he's dying of hunger? Only when he can't buy clothes? Only when the owner pissed him off? None of the above?)
Theft for a mission is fine, because it's the mission. Theft to cover one's tracks is also alright. The rest of the time, it's quite pitiful and she certainly doesn't need to.

-Outsiders? (people from other countries, other cities -- All X-Y-Zians are bandits? Just people? Speshul Ethnicity = 10 pts of Sexy?)
Everyone is an outsider for her. XD



Kon (Konkon: cry of a fox; bark of a fox; fox (baby talk))
(male)

Body Type: Medium-tall, broad-shouldered, isn't done filling out yet.
Age: 16
Personality: light-hearted and teasing, but he's got a ruthless side -- he makes a clear difference between his people and the rest of the world, and the rest of the world is good for toying with, not for giving a damn about.

Unique Characteristics: Dark-skinned, pale, teal-green hair, coppery eyes. Handsome in a "bad boy your mother warned you" about way.

Ninja techniques:
-Genjutsu: Fox illusions (* * *) (very vivid and imaginative; maybe a little too imaginative, sometimes that tips off people )
-Ninjutsu: summoning technique: Fox summon (* * * * *)
-Taijutsu: hand-to-hand (*), kunai throwing (* *)

Background: comes from an old but not that important ninja family.
-Education: Standard Academy -> Genin. He didn't listen so well in class, though he wasn't dead last either.
-How did his family impact the character? : He's heard some Wisdom of the Ages, but apart from that, he didn't get much of a special advantage. Being a ninja is normal for him, though.

Likes: playing jokes and tricks (this needs to be filled out ... >.>)

Dislikes: being bossed around -- he's the boss, thank you!

Hobbies: playing shogi, people-watching (he likes to "deduce" things from what he can see and spin little stories -- sometimes he's correct, sometimes he's really not)

Friends, significant others: he gets along well enough with both teammates. Has good friends in the village. Had a few girlfriends, nothing serious.

Longterm goals: becoming a Jounin and having exciting adventures. He likes being on the road.


Character as he sees himself: Fun, sexy, tricky, suave, badass
Character as others see him: Cocky little brat, fun, cheating bastard

How does the character react to stress? : he gets serious (he can be!) and tries his best to find a solution and get out of the situation, all the while planning his revenge to keep himself calm enough to get to the end of it. Afterwards he goofs off twice as hard and pretends it never happened (unless it makes him look cool, in which case he will never mention how stressful it was ever again, but will mention how dangerous or delicate it was.)

What are the character's thoughts on : (how would he react to:)
-Murder? (Killing in self-defense? Killing in cold blood? Could he do it and how would it impact him?)
As long as it's not one of his people, and it won't come back to bite him in the ass, he doesn't really give a damn who dies by his hand. He's loyal to his people more than to his village, though, so unless they did something that he took as a betrayal of HIM, he would side with his friends and feel the need to take revenge if they were executed. He wouldn't be able to kill them himself unless they betrayed him, and the whole thing would hurt a lot.

-Sex? (importance of chastity, choice of partners, opinion on others who don't share his views? "not there yet"? Homosexuality, in himself, in others?))
girlsgirlsgirlsgirlsgirlsgirlsgirls~ He's a naughty guy, yes he is. Not very concerned with "serious" dating, nor with "cheating". He wouldn't necessarily correct a girl who thought he was a little more serious than he is. He's a little asshole like that. Right now he likes the chase and the bedroom dance more than the relationships. (not that he's as suave as he thinks, and in many cases he never goes farther than first or second base -- but you wouldn't know it by listening to him.)
Gays girls are YESS, gay guys are "eww". (but he would totally do a pretty boy. From behind. Just the once. If he could pretend it was a girl. If there was no one else. ... Yeah, so he likes girls better, but a good fuck is a good fuck, and if the girls don't put out... Bicurious, then.)

-Theft? (is it okay to steal from rich people? Big companies? Shops? Little grandmas? Only when he's dying of hunger? Only when he can't buy clothes? Only when the owner pissed him off? None of the above?)
It's alright when it's shiny. >__>

-Outsiders? (people from other countries, other cities -- All X-Y-Zians are bandits? Just people? Speshul Ethnicity = 10 pts of Sexy?)
Outsiders are super-interesting, and he wants to watch them for days and figure out how they think (and then make up outrageous stories which are better than the truth.) They're not as real to him as people from his homeland, so ehh, if he spreads rumors and stereotypes, it's all in good fun and he doesn't care to learn the truth. Truth, lies, the most important thing is that it's interesting. (of course intel-gathering missions are different. He can be professional.)


Maneki (Maneki-neko: beckoning cat; figure of a cat with one paw raised)

Body Type: very tall, bulky, all muscle
Age: 15 (birthday somewhere between Zenko and Kon)

Personality: looks calm and rather quiet, but he's got a great sense of humor, he just doesn't share it easily, and is hiding a bit of a temper as best as he can.

Unique Characteristics: Very tall and large, tanned skin, pale blue eyes.

Ninja techniques:
-Genjutsu: some skill with common techniques, nothing exceptional but he's meticulous enough to get the job done (* * *)
-Ninjutsu: summoning technique: Cat summon (* * *), medical jutsu (* * *), antidotes and poisons (* * * *)
-Taijutsu: long pole (* *), hand to hand (* *)

Background:half and half family -- his mom was a ninja, father a monk.
-Education: Academy -> genin, with some tutoring by his father on things like literature, which the ninja academy doesn't focus on.
-How did his family impact the character? : He knew how to meditate at seven -- necessary because before that he was prone to extremely violent tantrums -- and that has given him a good control on his chakra use. He can relate to both ninja-since-forever and first-generation people, and he knew that if he chose another way his parents would accept it, so for him being a ninja is a well-reasoned choice, not a natural state of affairs.

Likes: cats, books, passing as someone eighteen or above simply because of his size.
Dislikes: being disturbed makes him angry.

Hobbies: writing (adventure novels -- Kon always wants Maneki to write him in as a character, when he doesn't tease Maneki for it)

Friends, significant others: Likes Zenko and gets along well with Kon; not dating at the time.

Longterm goals: (...I dunno, suggestions?)

Character as he sees himself: banked fire, dreamer, writer, peacekeeper of the group only because someone has to
Character as others see him: patient, listening, Huge Dumb Oaf (if they don't know him), Almost-Shy Bookworm/Philosopher (if they know him a little more -- lots of people see him look pensive and write for hours, and assume, based on his stature and mature face, that he thinks deep thoughts, not pirate adventures.)

How does the character react to stress? : Says nothing and continues... continues... until he has a burst of temper. Then he takes a deep breath, closes his eyes, centers himself, and continues.

What are the character's thoughts on : (how would he react to:)
-Murder? (Killing in self-defense? Killing in cold blood? Could he do it and how would it impact him?)
Self-defense isn't even a question for him. He can kill in cold blood, but would rather avoid it. He thinks it shouldn't be the first solution to everything, since it's also the only solution you can't take back.

-Sex? (importance of chastity, choice of partners, opinion on others who don't share his views? "not there yet"? Homosexuality, in himself, in others?))
Curious, but he never found himself a girlfriend who was willing to go past hand-holding and it was all very awkward; he's so huge that girls his age find him a little scary, or think their girlfriends would find it ridiculously funny. He's not ugly and he has a nice smile, but he's not very outgoing around strangers either.
He likes Zenko. He just doesn't tell her, because he knows she finds romance and sex stupid, and being friends is important and comfortable enough for him; he doesn't want to ruin it. She'd offer to let him have sex with her, and it would be awkward and embarrassing and not at all what he wishes for, so...
He doesn't really think about homosexuality because he doesn't feel concerned. He wouldn't think less of someone for being gay. (if he was hit on by a guy, he'd be really, really surprised, since he doesn't think he's all that attractive. Might be a little uncomfortable and that would make him scowl, but nothing worse.)

-Theft? (is it okay to steal from rich people? Big companies? Shops? Little grandmas? Only when he's dying of hunger? Only when he can't buy clothes? Only when the owner pissed him off? None of the above?)
On a mission or when he's hungry and has no money, he'll do it, but he doesn't really like it. If possible at all, he'll leave something of value behind (Preferably where Kon won't find it, steal it, and give it back to him afterwards.)

-Outsiders? (people from other countries, other cities -- All X-Y-Zians are bandits? Just people? Speshul Ethnicity = 10 pts of Sexy?)
Reserved, because they could be spies, but they're all people, and if his mother hadn't taken a chance with his father, he wouldn't be there.


And that's it for them. All I've got so far. Crit, suggestions? I also should make them a teacher, but I'm not sure what kind of guy he should be... What would mesh well with that trio?

XD Uchiha Uchihako.

Mm~&hearts I like these Summon guys already! Plus, I think I may fangirl Maneki a bit. *has soft spot for big sweet guys* I'm also wondering how Naruto's going to mesh with Zenko's attitude and Kon's fox affinity.

Me, I don't have any fleshed out Naruto OCs. I get distracted by all the pretty justu there is to play with and totally forget about background. I'll just scrutinize the Summon Sensei instead. *cough*

Hm~ My impression of the sensei is that he (she?) would need to be a responsible person in order to deal with Kon (not to mention to qualify for a team leader position in the first place), but obviously wasn't strict enough to stop his pranking habits or get him to tone down the genjutsu - worried about crushing his spirit, maybe? Making sure they're in good form before entering them in the exams, giving them the animals... Yeah, I'm getting a bit of a mother hen sort of vibe. Competent mother hen, though. Probably a good-humored sort, too.

Does Maneki share his stories with them? Does Kon respect them by acting serious or totally casual around them? Does Zenko trust them because of something in particular they did, because of exposure to their personality and ability over time, or because somebody else vouched for them? Do they have any notable quirks? Or a particular animal? Bear, maybe? Sure, it kind of clashes with my initial impression of the sensei as easy-going, but hey, bears seem pretty placid right up to the point where you mess with them and then they charge right over and maul you to death... Which, come to think of it, is quite ninja-like. *cough* But I ramble.

Creating characters is uber amounts of fun, yes? And I had lots of fun reading yours (the names are pretty funny, I'm not so good at Naruto-like puns). Sometimes you don't even use half the stuff you thought up, but it always sort of stays with you. I absolutely suck at fanfiction, so I never got to use this character, but I have him nontheless:


Name: Hajime Iida
Gender: Male
Body Type: short, still with lots of baby fat that makes him look younger than he actually is. Darker skin.
Age: 14
Personality: Shy and quiet around strangers, but loud, obnoxious, and overly exuberant around his teammates. Has extremely strange beliefs, such as the fact aliens exist. Acts slow and stupid, but is actually pretty bright.
Unique Characteristics: Dark red hair that flips in very odd places, whether he wants it to or not. Large mouth and droopy eyes-- rather goofy looking.

Ninja techniques:
-Genjutsu: His specialty! Does them quickly and efficiently. Can even apply them to surroundings.(*****)
-Ninjutsu: basic, like transformation and body-swap, very poor at it (*)
-Taijutsu: doesn't really like physically attacking (*)
-Other: Medical ninjustu (**), Poison and antidotes (***)

Background: Father wasn't a ninja, mother was a medic-nin.
-Education: Basic path-- ninja academy, jounin sensei. Sensei let him focus on genjutsu, as it seemed to be his only strong point.
-How did his family impact the character? : Family didn't really push him to do much of anything as a child. As such, he's extremely laid-back about the whole 'ninja' thing and only gets motivated if his teammates need him.
Likes: Reading comics, staying out of trouble, daydreaming, helping others
Dislikes: fighting, getting hurt, not getting vacation time
Hobbies: Growing flowers, searching for Yetis
Friends, significant others: Doesn't think of himself as attractive enough to get a girlfriend, but really adores his teammates.

Character as he sees himself: Just an average joe
Character as others see him: Weak, dumb, eccentric, helpful, clumsy, sweet, not really ninja-material
How does the character react to stress? : Loses confidence in his own judgement and falls back on his friends. If they aren't there, he just sort of panics and waits for someone to tell him what to do.

What are the character's thoughts on :
-Murder?
Bad, no matter what your orders are. Avoids it at all costs (isn't that good at killing techniques anyway, other than poison.)
-Sex?
...well, he is fourteen. And a boy. Without a girlfriend.
-Theft?
Steals all the time, but only little things from stores, like candy. Always feels bad about it later.
-Outsiders?
All human life is worth something. Everyone has their own drive and purpose. Though he may be ordered to fight someone, he always keeps in mind that perhaps they were ordered to fight him. Everyone he sees is just trying to live their lives in their own way.

Wow, you're organized about your OCs! I can't make lists like that work; I think it's because they feel too distanced to give me a sense of the character in her/his environment.

Instead, I tend to write up short descriptions, heavy on family background and personality traits. Then I throw out half of the personality analysis as I write the actual story, because I often guess wrong on the details and I don't find out the truth until the characters hit a choice point and react in a way I don't expect. Once they tell me who they are, I try not to contradict them later on. :-)

I like those thought questions, though. I'll do Yukiko here, for fun.

Murder: Yukiko sees nothing wrong with killing in self-defense. In fact, the suggestion that lethal self-defense might be objectionable strikes her as vaguely silly, though she knows non-violence is a common religious concept. In theory she's also okay with killing in cold blood -- killing enemies of the village or mission targets can be construed as proactive self-defense -- but she doesn't like pushing moral justifications that far. She tries to avoid being put in situations where she'd have to make that choice. I suspect that if forced to kill in cold blood, she'd do her best to justify the action and then try not to think about it again, since she has better things to do with her time these days.

She would never kill a person 'just because.' That's wrong. It's also stupid, wasteful, and likely to get her into unnecessary trouble.

Sex: Yukiko had two or three casual boyfriends as a teen, but nothing went beyond third base. Later she was busy mourning, disliking herself, and trying to be an independent adult in a context (civilian life) that she hadn't been trained for, and had no time or desire for further complications or new attachments. She created a situation where she had lots of business support and casual acquaintances, but no close friends, and she felt that she'd lost the knack of making close friends. These days, she's starting to think a boyfriend might be a nice idea, but she's not serious about it yet.

She thinks sleeping around is stupid, since a relationship ought to mean something, but she tries not to judge other people unless their choices impinge negatively on her. For similar reasons, she doesn't care what gender anyone else is interested in, and probably wouldn't freak out if she happened to find herself interested in another woman, though she would be surprised. She thinks that pornography is distasteful, and that children (defined as 'people under 12,' since 12 is the standard age of graduation from the academy) don't need to have sex shoved in their faces. She also thinks teens are a bit young to get serious about romantic relationships, and since she considers sex something that should only go with a serious relationship, she's uncomfortable with younger teens having sex; again, though, she tries not to judge.

Theft: It's justifiable for missions, barely, but otherwise WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. She'd find it easier to rationalize casual murder than casual theft. Hey, she's a businesswoman; if you can't trust property rights, the world falls apart.

On the other hand, while stealing and cheating are WRONG, driving a hard bargain is not only okay but practically a moral duty. :-)

Outsiders: Growing up in a different village or country may give people some damn peculiar ideas about the world, but everybody's human. It's easier to work with people when you have a shared background, and of course ninja from other villages are likely to be watching Konoha for weaknesses, but maintaining rational caution doesn't mean you have to throw up giant walls of distrust. A friendly attitude may be a bit much to ask, but neutrality is easy... except when people are really, really annoying, or evil, in which case she'd dislike them anyway; their status as outsiders makes no difference unless she's required to be civil for diplomatic or mission-related reasons.

This is Oracle!Hiroki

[identity profile] phoenix-melody.livejournal.com 2007-08-26 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Name: Hyuuga Hiroki

Gender: Male

Body Type: Thin, medium height--he's pretty much heading toward the frail stage of being old

Age: mid to late seventies

Personality: He's quite enjoying being the old man who doesn't have to care about what other people think of him anymore. He's sarcastic, condescending, patronizing, etc. etc. He's very proud, and largely self-assured.

Unique Characteristics: He likes to hum. He knows it annoys people, so he does it whenever the mood strikes him.

Ninja techniques: Not applicable. He was trained in the jyuuken when he was a young man, but he's definitely not young anymore. XD

Background:

-Education: He is clan-schooled. XD Taught the jyuuken, reading, writing, political maneuvering, etc. His lineage has been important in the clan in times past, so he's had a good Hyuuga education.

-How did his family impact the character?: Well, he's Main family Hyuuga. So that says a lot. As for his immediate family, his only son married a Branch girl against Hiroki's better judgment (there was a serious falling-out between them). His only granddaughter, Hotaru, was declared Branch despite his attempts at having her declared Main--so, in essence, Hiroki's line in the Main family will end when he and his son die. He's quickly losing power because there is no one of his lineage to take his place once he dies--his son has not shown any inclination to take his role and Hotaru can't. He has very little to lose at this point. He also very much hates that his granddaughter despises him--not because he's a bastard (which he is) but because of the stupid Main-Branch division. Despite it all, he loves Hotaru, and his son, but they've both rejected him quite soundly.

Likes: calligraphy, out-maneuvering someone, and pissing people off. He finds it funny when he can make other people lose control.

Dislikes: arguing with his granddaughter, being out-maneuvered, other things I haven't thought of yet. >.>

Hobbies: being a jerk? XD; *fails*

Friends, significant others: His wife died nearly a decade ago, and he's at the age where most of his peer group had died or is thinking about it. XD;

Longterm goals: to have his granddaughter take Neji's place. The why I cannot reveal, 'cuz that would be spoilerish. ♥

Character as he sees himself: intelligent, a manipulative bastard...

Character as others see him: a manipulative bastard, uncaring, cutthroat, sneaky, false...

How does the character react to stress?: He gets rather quiet, but has snarky, sarcastic outbursts. Will fake being amused by something, but he's very much not. (See end of chapter six.)

What are the character's thoughts on : (how would he react to:)

-Murder?
He finds it distasteful, but necessary on occasion. That doesn't mean he'd do the killing--he doesn't get his hands dirty personally.

-Sex?
Sex before marriage is a no-no as is infidelity--there are proper ways to go about copulating, and it's important that lineage and bloodline be impeccably tracked (a discreet affair or two is fine, but you risk a lot of shame if you're caught). Homosexuality is a waste--you can't get kids from that and you need kids to continue a bloodline.

-Theft?
See his opinion about murder.

-Outsiders?
Outsiders are, of course, inferior to the Hyuuga, though village outsiders are at least better than non-Konoha outsiders.

I will now attempt to be minimally helpful. :-)

Your Mysterious Jounin-sensei has to be good at personality analysis in order to assign the right summons to the right person. Patience would also be a good trait, though that's a good trait for any teacher.

Question: Is Mysterious Sensei a hands-on leader, or a hands-off teacher who wants the team to work out its own internal dynamics? That would have a big effect on how the three genin interact, both with each other and with Mysterious Sensei.

Second Question: Is Mysterious Sensei a summoner, or does he/she simply know a lot of ninja with useful summons, and can therefore talk them into taking his/her students as temporary apprentices in that one particular skill? If Mysterious Sensei is a summoner, what is his/her summon creature?

[identity profile] rayemars.livejournal.com 2007-08-26 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Name: Suzuki Eri
Nickname, if any: None unless you count that one girl in the Academy who called her 'Suzume' in a kind of difficult pun on her relation to the Inuzukas.
Gender: female
Body Type: A little taller and stockier than normal.
Age: various, but at the moment 23
Personality: Generally independent, but tries not to create disruptions in order to go more unnoticed--a trait connected to being a tracker.
Unique Characteristics: Tracker. Better eyes and nose than usual, though not Inuzuka-level.
Ninja techniques:
-Genjutsu: Mostly canceling ones.
-Ninjutsu: Primarily basics, since she dislikes weapons.
-Taijutsu: Full grounding in basics, a few special attacks.
Background:
-Education: General four years in Academy, home teaching in taijutsu and tracking, and job training in grammar/recording/whatever else ninja filing requires techniques (self-taught and slightly less than average decoder).
-How did her family impact the character?: Only child. She and her parents are close, aside from minor issues (cats) and the major one of Kaimi and Kaiu. She still lives at home, since she isn't in a serious relationship.
Likes: Animals, her job, her family and friends, fishing.
Dislikes: Spicy food, winter, most kunoichi.
Hobbies: Fishing, listening to stories.
Friends, significant others: Kaimi and Kaiu, a few people from her graduating class, several Inuzuka cousins. She's had several boyfriends over the years, but none she's considered serious--i.e., would date exclusively or move in with.
Longterm goals: Marriage and having an exciting enough career that she has a lot of interesting stories without getting killed in the process.

Character as she sees herself: Considers herself kind of boring, because the two people she's closest to seem so vibrant. Loyal, and sometimes a necessary voice of reason.
Character as others see her: Loyal, friendly or a little distant depending on the situation or relationship, stubborn. Kaimi considers her irredeemably stained with the Leaf's philosophy and doesn't argue issues with her.
How does the character react to stress?: Figures out what the most critical/necessary thing is and gets it done first. She used to freak out some as a kid/genin, but she's learned her parameters now and so is more comfortable in fights and relationships.
What are the character's thoughts on:
-Murder? Self-defense is completely acceptable, because she--like most Leafnins--believes the argument that it's the client on who the sin rests, because the ninja is only a tool. Cold blood would probably linger with her, but she's fairly passionate, so it's not very likely to happen.
-Sex? Doesn't consider chastity itself so important (barring cheating), but the Narutoverse seems to be a little conservative about it for women, so she keeps to the average expectations but hardly shuns girls who ignore it. (Most of her sex advice came from Kaimi.) She has fairly high expectations of her boyfriends and only three of her relationships became physical, one which was directly because the both of them were suddenly taking on more dangerous missions in the move from genin to chuunin. She recognizes homosexuality as natural--if some animals do it, why wouldn't some humans?--but thinks people with natural talents or from clans have a sort of responsibility to have children regardless of preferences; she considers herself 'normal' but gets jealous of other women who take up Kaimi's time (primarily Saori, which she rationalizes as the Sound issue), and she did have a few adolescent thoughts about the woman who taught her the majority of the ropes of her job.
-Theft? Theft from outsiders doesn't bother her, because ninja training has taught that that's occasionally just part of the job, but theft inside the village would be anathema. She knows most of those people.
-Outsiders? She's fascinated by outside cultures and places, but slightly prefers to hear about them then to visit herself. Konoha is her territory, and she's most comfortable there. Plus, it's entirely possible that when she wakes up the next morning the people in X country/village will no longer be neighbors but enemies, so there's no point in being too fond of them. She considers xenophobia stupid, however, which is her main bone of contention with Hara.

...So I was going to do Kameko. But then I remembered someone else! Who's actually a ninja.

Name: Hyuuga Masa

Nickname, if any: I'm sure his brother came up with something, but not that he'd answer to.

Gender: Male

Body Type: About what you'd expect from the Hyuuga. Fit, broad shouldered, but not heavily muscled. Medium tall.

Age: 27 (I think. I didn't write it down.)

Personality: Very laid back, and a little habitually apologetic and nurturing. He's used to trying to keep his older brother, Haru, out of trouble. He can sometimes be kind of passive, though, especially when there's not a clear course of action. If there's conflict (interpersonal, not battle), he'd rather wait and let it sort itself out than actually try to fix it.

Unique Characteristics: None really come to mind. Fail. Dark hair, fair skin, white eyes. You get the picture?

Ninja techniques: (1 to 5 * -- rookies hover between 1 and 2, a particular skill probably gets 3. Naruto's chakra reserves would be a 6 or 7, but then he's abnormal like that.)
-Genjutsu: Basics--he can break them fairly well, but no skill in making them. **?
-Ninjutsu: Medical jutsu ****
-Taijutsu: *** for a normal person, but for a Hyuuga? More like **, I think.

Background: Masa is a Hyuuga, but very far removed from the main branch. His closes relation to Hinata or Hiashi is probably three or four times removed, still. As a result, while there were expectations and evil, nasty seals, there wasn't nearly the same kind of pressure.
-Education: Fairly standard--Academy, then jounin sensei. He learned medical ninjutsu from his mother who is not!Hyuuga.
-How did his family impact the character? : As a Hyuuga, it sort of can't not have an effect, but I'd like to say that it was about as minimal as could be under the circumstances.

Likes: People. Conversation. Quite evenings with friends, or a significant other.

Dislikes: Direct confrontation. As a ninja, he finds it sloppy, and a risk better avoided. In his personal life, it stresses him and makes him feel rather stupid, because he can't think of how to fix it.

Hobbies: Probably some? Socializing, and reading.

Friends, significant others: His brother, Haru, and his teammates, Jin and Mareo. Also, his wife, depending on the point in timeline. (Though I suppose she's still significant dead, sort of.)

Longterm goals: Family

Character as he sees himself: The rock/balance in relationships. A laid back, easy going kind of guy.

Character as others see him: Pretty much the definition of "nice." With all the good and bad points that go with it. A bit easy to take advantage of, for a ninja.

How does the character react to stress? : Depends on the kind of stress. Mission stress, bad things happening stress, he handles it well. He's very clear headed. Someone else's stress, he's very good at being supportive and comforting. But when he's not getting along with someone close to him, his mind kind of blanks, and he tends to throw himself into other, more productive things.

And the rest. For I am long winded.

What are the character's thoughts on : (how would he react to:)

-Murder? (Killing in self-defense? Killing in cold blood? Could he do it and how would it impact him?) Happens sometimes. And if he can do it without the person even being aware it happened (until they're dead, if there's an afterlife), he's all the happier for it. It's not pretty, but if it's got to happen, he prefers it be clean and efficient.

-Sex? (importance of chastity, choice of partners, opinion on others who don't share his views? "not there yet"? Homosexuality, in himself, in others?)) He's kind of a one-woman guy. Chastity isn't so much important, but he doesn't like running around morally or mentally. Sex is an important part of healthy relationships, it's a bonding experience, and it's fun. He's not terribly attached to his sexuality though, for a guy, and while it's important to him, he doesn't really settle for unhappy sex. He's sensitive, and if it doesn't feel right to him, he'd rather not. At least, mentally.

He's not gay, and doesn't really care about people who are. He's aware of homosexuality the way some people might be aware that platypi are
poisonous. It's trivia that doesn't have a real impact on his life. (Until it does, but that would be sort of spoilery.)

-Theft? (is it okay to steal from rich people? Big companies? Shops? Little grandmas? Only when he's dying of hunger? Only when he can't buy clothes? Only when the owner pissed him off? None of the above?) Like murder, it's part of life. Also like murder, he doesn't like it, but if it happens, he'd prefer get it done with minimal fuss.

-Outsiders? (people from other countries, other cities -- All X-Y-Zians are bandits? Just people? Speshul Ethnicity = 10 pts of Sexy?) No real opinion, though he's mindful of them. Can't be too careful.

And I do believe that's it for him.

Hmmm...

*Has an OC, but considering your opinion of Uchiha girls isn't sure if she should post it*

Her opinion of Team 7:
Sasuke: Thinks he's an emo-brat who needs serious therapy, and to get over himself and go after what he wants (Team 7)
Kakashi and Naruto: The funniest thing since John Stewart and the Daily Show.
Sakura: Would rather spend the day with her and the other girls poking around Konoha's smaller shops looking for new outfis for her dance routines.

Her opinion of Itachi
Thinks he a result of a 10yr old suffering from PTSS, that he's a rabid dog that should be put down ASAP, and would love to introduce him to a rather shitzo fire demon back home.

It's probably worth noting that Sacchan is a character I play regularly on the City of Heroes/Villains MMO, as are her teammates... though they're not -mine-, so I can't really talk about them more than in passing.


Name: Hanagawa Sachie
Nickname, if any: 'Sacchan' to her teammates.
Gender: Female
Body Type: Tall, buff, and built, with daintier features than you'd expect seeing her from the neck down and straight, pure white hair cut evenly to about jaw-length.
Age: 16-17
Personality: Impassive, stoic, short-spoken to the point of curtness - phrases instead of sentances, words instead of phrases, gestures instead of words whenever possible. Relishes a good fight rather more than is wise, mostly for the thrill and the challenge and the physical exertion of it.
Unique Characteristics: Um, white hair? But it's common in her clan.

Ninja techniques: She can hold a strong electrical current through her hands and feet during a fight to give anyone she hits a very nasty zap on top of the physical impact.
-Genjutsu: * (resisting only, and not terribly well at that)
-Ninjutsu: *** (offensive electrical types - lightning bolts, shocking touch, electrified weapons, etc.)
-Taijutsu: **** (Short on elegance and long on brute power, but fast and much better at dodging than anyone her size has any right to be)

Background: The women of the Hanagawa clan are justly famous for being the loveliest, the most refined, the most irresistably seductive kunoichi in all of the Hidden Cloud. Every brothel in the Lightning Country claims to host girls tutored in their most secret techniques, and even the best, so the rumor mill has it, is no more than a pale imitation of the real thing.

...and then there's Sachie.

-Education: Poison, etiquette, poise, and yes, the famous pillow secrets, all since she was old enough to understand them, with a basic academy course layered on top.

-How did his family impact the character?: More than she thinks or likes to admit. It's hard to seem properly refined when you're head-and-shoulders taller than any other girl in your generation of the clan, and the driving frustration at that percieved inadequacy drives much of her current behavior no matter how deeply she sublimates it.

Likes: Violence! Way too much onigiri for any sane person to consume! Nookie! Cookies! (tell anyone about the last and expect to die horribly)
Dislikes: Hot sweaty weather; buzzing, whining, or chirping things.
Hobbies:
Friends, significant others: Misao. Inari. Mama. (Her teammates and immediate family and that's about it...)
Longterm goals: ...power's nice? *shrug*

Character as he sees himself: Blunt instrument, but an effective one
Character as others see him: Mix of 'Kakkoi!' and 'Terrifying force of nature'

How does the character react to stress? : Smash the stressor.

What are the character's thoughts on : (how would he react to:)

-Murder? (Killing in self-defense? Killing in cold blood? Could he do it and how would it impact him?)

Um... what about it? Fight, kill, die. Ninja.

-Sex? (importance of chastity, choice of partners, opinion on others who don't share his views? "not there yet"? Homosexuality, in himself, in others?))

*shrug* It's fun. (Nearly as good as fighting! Very blase otherwise - not much of a libido. Chastity and monogamy exist as concepts but don't seem personally relevant, though if she were dating someone who did care she'd accommodate them, and boy/girl vs. girl/girl is just a logistical question)

-Theft? (is it okay to steal from rich people? Big companies? Shops? Little grandmas? Only when he's dying of hunger? Only when he can't buy clothes? Only when the owner pissed him off? None of the above?)

Paying's easier. (But taking works too, if need be. Tends to favor smash-and-grab over catburglary.)

-Outsiders? (people from other countries, other cities -- All X-Y-Zians are bandits? Just people? Speshul Ethnicity = 10 pts of Sexy?)

Me -- Mine -- Not!Mine. 'Not!Mine' get all the sentimental warmth and sympathy of a farmer's sheep. 'Mine' is her mother and two teammates, period, to be protected, spoiled a bit, and - very - occaisionally snuggled.


Hope you enjoy!

Ja, -n
(Wondering if/how quickly people will guess her AT)

A very unoriginal OC

[identity profile] cerise-anouk.livejournal.com 2007-08-27 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
Name: Chizu (currently) Uzumaki (future) Uzumaki-Uchiha
Nickname: Chizu-hime, Demon-spawn(Kisame)
Gender: Female, something she occasionally forgets.
Body Type: She's short for her age, definitely the runt of her age group. Sakura calls her a "late bloomer" a.k.a as flat as a board. She's delicately built.
Age: 12-13 currently.
Personality: She's got her Dad's heart and Charisma, her *other* Dad's cool demeanor under pressure (not to mention his ability to hold a grudge) and her Mom's brains/temper.
Unique Characteristics: Nothing I can tell you without ruining my poorly written story.
Ninja tech: She's unusual like Naruto.
Background: No one knows (yet) exactly how she came to be, just that she was used to be the container of seven of the eight bijuu after the defeat of the Atkatsuki. Directly after she was taken in by ANBU!Naruto who turns into Hokage!Naruto. While growing up in the Tower she spent most of her time surrounded by seasoned Ninja's, mainly the Rookie Nine Plus Three, their sensei's, and all the above stated's kids. Trained by four extremely mysterious (again, explained in earlier stated poorly written fanfic) Shinobi.
Education: From the moment she could walk till she entered the Ninja Academy she had private Tutoring, which continued, to a shorter extent after she entered the Academy.
How does her Family Impact: Chizu has been instilled with a rock solid sense of loyalty to her Village and the belief in a single sacrifice can benifit the whole. Surving her Village and Protecting her Family are at the top most of her list(seriously, can you be surprised? *Naruto's* her dad)
Likes: Shika(a not so OC OC), her special Sensei's, her friends, Her daddy, RAMEN, Sakura, the voices in and outside her head. All not necessarily in that order.
Dislikes: *REALLY* hates Orochimaru, yeah.
Hobbies:Eatting, blowing up the Jounin toilets, screwing with her sensei's(not literally she's *12*)
Friends SO's: Shikakumori(Shika) Nara, Iku Nara, Itaru Inuzuka, Hideaki/Haruka Hyuuga, Chokichi Akimichi, Jou Rock, Takai Aburame, Taisetsu Subaka, Arashi Hatake, Obito Hatake(ALL ABOVE ARE OC's)Naruto, Sakura, Itachi, Kisame, Sasori, Deidara.Currently.
Longterm Goals: Um, being a super cool ninja?
How she sees herself: As a normal ninja kid.
Stress: She sort of turns off her brain, gets all cold and killer like.
How would she react:-Murder: Self-defense/mission its okay and has no prob doing it. -SEX:a word that has never been introduced to her vocab and we'd like to keep it that way thankyouverymuch.-THEFT: dont know, have to ask her.OUTSIDERS: Cautious, yet friendly.

And there it is my (main) OC.

Oh, why not...

[identity profile] chofi.livejournal.com 2007-08-27 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
One of my OC's that tends to flit from 'verse to 'verse. Don't know if I should change her name (I fail at Naruto-type puns), so...

Body Type: Small, slender
Age: 20
Personality: Stereotypical surly prodigy around strangers, stereotypical surly prodigy that nitpicks around friends and family. Loves movies and stage shows, and rattles off pointless facts about both. ("You know, this sparring session would be just like that one fight where Princess Fuun...")
Unique Traits: Threatening the genitals of men who piss her off. Started as a running gag and took off from there. Besides, a frail little princess-thing screaming about cutting off dicks is amusing.
Genjutsu: **** (Anal retentiveness runs in the family; getting all the little details right is good for messing with minds.)
Ninjutsu: **
Taijutsu: *** (Specialized in using fans, daggers, and hairpins.)
Education: Academy schooling, then to a jounin. Classes in poise, speech, music, flower arranging, etc.
How did his family impact the character?: Adores her older brother, who had the good sense not to go all Itachi-like and is a decent sort of fellow. He's her advance guard and support system in nin-things, commiserating on all the woes of going to the Academy, having a batshit jounin sensei, the first kill, etc.
Likes: Ikebana, poetry, pointless action movies
Dislikes: Remembering all the verb forms for polite language
Hobbies: Ikebana, calligraphy, memorizing fight choreography
Friends, significant others: Is the "tag-along little sister" in her brother's group, has a fiance that is part of her most-used cover story. ("Hi. I am the poor heiress of an old family, with no defenses except for these two nin which is all my family can afford. May we please stay in your village until my fiance calls me home to marry him? I was visiting relations in [neighboring nation], when we were attacked. Here are letters of introduction forged written and signed by [notable name].")
Character as he sees himself: A decent actress with an eye for detail.
Character as others see him: Anal-retentive with a short temper.

Thoughts on murder? Her jobs tend to be more on the observation side of things, so she doesn't have necessity to kill very often. If it's part of a job, and therefore a detail that must not be overlooked, she'll do it. Her weapons training is close quarters, so she'll most likely see/have gotten to know her target. I know this'll impact her, somehow, but I haven't fleshed this out properly, so...

Thoughts on sex? Her main role as a sheltered princess forces her to have a high regard towards chastity. Can't act improperly while on the job, after all: she could be found out!

Thoughts on theft? See thoughts on sex. Being given gifts that are befitting to her station, on the other hand, are perfectly fine. Even if, sometimes, the giver must be told often and directly about her preferences.

Thoughts on outsiders? She tends to have a polite amusement towards people from other countries ("Oh, what charming little customs people from X have!"); again, it fits the role of sheltered princess so her target(s) won't feel anything is amiss. She loves her village, though, because she can act normal there!

May I contribute~~?

I have no idea how she winded up in my head, but still. Was imagining the awesomeness of a SasuSaku marriage forgivemeplzkthxbai. >____>;;

Name: Uchiha Hisana ["Hi" = "red"; "sana" = "truth" (?? D8)]
Nickname: srsly, wats that, lol? Satchan.
Gender: Female
Body type: Tall. With baby fat? Like, If-you-talk-about-it-then-I'll-beat-you-with-my-tallness?
Age: 11
Personality: Rude, slightly aloof, competitive, cynical, and tends not to follow most rules. Is a feminist.
Unique Characteristics: Has no shame whatsoever -- like one of those Yankee girls. Like, I'm-gonna-so-beat-your-ass-it's-not-even-fucking-funny.

Stats:
- Genjutsu: Sucks. Badly. (*)
- Ninjutsu: Specialty -- has a nice amount of chakra, but really sucks at controlling it. (***)
- Taijutsu: Is better than most genin but could be polished a bit. (**)
OTHER = Tracking - (**); Basic first-aid - (***)

Background:
- Education: Graduated from the Academy; traditional texts/traditional manners taught by father; first-aid/common courtesy taught by mother. Her eldest brother taught her how to track, but she is against him. The middle child -- her other brother -- is a medic-nin who wanted to teach her how to heal people, but she disagreed ("Being a medic is so boring; I don't understand how you can stand it~!").
- How did family impact character?: Compared to all the high-class ninja around her, she has a bit of an inferior complex ("Are you sure I can do this?") and hates same-old schedules day-after-day because of it. Wants to change, just a little bit, but is a little reluctant.
Likes: Being told that she "grew up," washing dishes, stargazing, and training.
Dislikes: Sour things, crooked teeth, walking on water, and fountain pens.
Hobbies: Reading, memorizing ancient texts, taking walks.
Friends, significant others: Nope. All her categories are "People that can help me," "People that are useless," and "People that are my enemies." A little black and white in that area.
Longterm goals: To "change" herself; to grow stronger.

Character as she sees herself: A little on the useless side, but superior to weaker genin.
Character as others see her: Selfish, fake, pretentious, slightly greedy, and a black sheep, but otherwise determined in her own way.
How does the character react to stress?: ("Daddy, why won't you give me your hand? I can't take it anymore!") When she's alone, she panics and starts to lose confidence in herself; when she's with others, she gets nervous that they'll see her weaknesses.

What are the character's thoughts on...
- Murder?: It's alright it has a reason; otherwise, it's not. And stupid.
- Sex?: Is not there yet~
- Theft?: Is it okay to steal from old ladies? Of course it is; only if they've been a nuisance to you, though.
- Outsiders: "Outsider" is a synonym for "weakling"; therefore she doesn't trust them nor talk to them, and when she does, it's "Get out of the way, loser!"

Um. I may have gotten a teensy carried away.

[identity profile] yoscuuro.livejournal.com 2007-08-27 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
Name: Mori Mika

Nickname, if any: N/A, unless you’re very stupid or very insane.

Gender: Female

Body Type: Short & Stocky, well muscled, well scarred, noticeable bewbs.

Age: 33

Personality: Er... Distantly intense? In my head, she makes me picture a Thunderstorm off shore of a beach; you can see the lightning and hear the thunder, but you know you're safe for now. She’s wary of strangers, and takes her sweet time warming up to them. When she does, she starts off gruffly affectionate and gentles a little over time. Very straightforward, doesn’t have much of a head for politics or figuring out the ‘underneath the underneath’.

Unique Characteristics: Three deep, ragged scars across her face that run from the upper left, across the bridge of her nose, her left eye, and left cheek- consequently, she can't smell anything very well, her eye is sealed shut, and she's missing several teeth on the left side of her mouth. She travels with a small pack of 'lesser' wolves, 4 in total, and with her mate, a 'Greater' wolf, a.k.a. a demon. Wears the skull and pelt (as a sort of cloak) of her father in tribute and spiritual belief, that he will lend her his strength in time of need if she keeps him close. Wires that connect her wrists to springs and doo-hickeys inside the skull operate its jaws, making it an easily used weapon after some years of practice. She doesn’t consider it desecration on the grounds he taught her how to do it, with his own mother’s skull.

Ninja techniques: Wagging Tongue No Jutsu? Kekkai Genkai that alters her vocal chords and, to a lesser extent, her brain; Long story short, renders her capable of translating Japanese into barks, howls, and wolf body language. She is, however, incapable of speaking Japanese when the Jutsu is engaged. She also utilizes a last-ditch trump card that's essentially forbidden to her by her clan- It basically torches everything in a fifty-foot radius. It's forbidden because of the danger it poses to her, due to the immense drain on her Chakra, and her pack, who likes to stick close to her in a fight unless she orders otherwise; Along with the fact it tends to happen on its own, with little or no warning unless you know her 'Impending Panic Attack' signals.

-Genjutsu: * Overall, **** for a Specialized skill (A sound based, cooperative Genjutsu; howls along with the wolves in order to either frighten or confuse the quarry)

-Ninjutsu: ** (Basic stuff, Kawarimi, Bunshin, Henge, etc.)

-Taijutsu: **** (Literally what she was born to do; her branch of the clan has specialized in killing things quick, fast and in a hurry since forever)

Background: Comes from a Clan that ‘interbreeds’ with demon wolves*. A mated Pair of Humans and a mated Pair of Wolves come together and make babies. The Fathers assume the form of the Mothers, (i.e. a human male that makes a baby with a wolf female will turn into a wolf and vice versa.) and babies are made.
In Mika's case, the Wolf female and Human male were murdered as they met over newborn pups while Mika and Taichi (Wolf Guy) were out hunting; They've had their revenge, and since both were revolted by the idea of taking new mates, they retreated to a more remote location; deep into Fire Country Forest, half-way to the border of Grass. She gives birth to what is technically her second son, who she names Jiro, and meets up with the canon cast three weeks later in a bit of a bloodbath.

-Education: Home-schooled, in a sense, on life in general.

-How did his family impact the character? : Most everywhere, but mostly in her life style and in the way she sees and thinks of the world. She's a definite believer in her Family's motto. "The Strongest will Lead, the Strong will Protect, and the Weak will Follow."

Okay, I got helluva carried away. TT-TT;;

[identity profile] yoscuuro.livejournal.com 2007-08-27 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
Likes: The simple life; Straightforwardness; (secretly) to be led (but only by someone's who's proven their self beyond a shadow of a doubt, preferably by beating the tar out of her and patching her back up like a good pack leader should); Taichi; Her wolves; people with good, sturdy common sense; good, sturdy people; pups/kids.

Dislikes: Frivolous things; Frivolous people; Sneakiness; Weak people who don't know it or won't accept it; Willful ignorance; etc.

Hobbies: Hunting, puttering around her Den, and making weapons or armor. Like I said, the simple life.

Friends, significant others: The wolves, immediate family, Taichi

Long-term goals: Raising strong children, seeing them raise strong children.

Character as he sees himself: Loyal, stubborn, strong enough, protective, simple, honest.

Character as others see him: Loyal, stubborn to the point of cussedness, strong, protective, straightforward, bluntly honest, abrasive at times

How does the character react to stress? : She tries to keep up, in a sense. She becomes frantic, harried, her thoughts sharpen and speed up in a sense, though they're disjointed and utterly rapid, and she doesn't really remember thinking at all after a certain point; She can even be worked up into a panic attack, as mentioned.

What are the character's thoughts on :

-Murder?
She has a different idea what constitutes of murder; If something is so absurdly weaker than her that she could take it out in a single, unthinking blow, she doesn't feel a real need to kill it. Children, something unable to defend itself due to a physical or mental condition (Such as when her female counter part was exhausted from childbirth and her human mate was recovering from several nasty wounds), etc. qualify as 'murder' in her eyes. Things perfectly able to defend themselves against her are fair game, along with weak things that continue to make a potentially dangerous nuisance of themselves, and animals that she intends to eat.

-Sex?
To Mika; Chastity is important only so far as refraining from producing children within unmated couplings; the act itself is seen, socially, as largely unimportant; individuals may find it pleasurable and enjoyable, maybe even important, but the clan does not as long as expectations are met. No rape. No unhealthy practices. No children who will not have four parents.
Partners are chosen by individuals themselves; the clan perceives the practice of parents choosing mates for their children as foolish, to the tune that their children know themselves best by the time they are ready to choose a mate.
She doesn't much care for homosexuality, because of the threat it poses to the Family; at least, she doesn't much care for homosexuality in the family itself. As long as the homosexual party has a willing partner and is capable of producing at least one child, everything is OK. She couldn't care less about who outsiders screw amongst themselves, and she’s already decidedly heterosexual herself.
As for herself, she enjoys it immensely and demands it on a daily basis, though only with contraceptives when she can’t afford to be pregnant.

-Theft?
Again, she doesn't have a usual concept of theft. She'll take what she needs when she needs it, and doesn't particularly care from whom unless the repercussions will be more than she can handle.

-Outsiders? Are to be watched carefully and not at all trusted until they've proven themselves. She could care less about skin color; it means little more than nothing to someone used to seeing all different coats of fur.


*My concept of demon wolves sort of takes from Kitsune legend; The longer a wolf lives, the more powerful it becomes. Lesser wolves are more intelligent and powerful than your typical wolves, Greater wolves more intelligent and powerful still, typically ranked upon reaching a human adult level

Another lurker, sorry...although I've been meaning to friend you for some time now, just never got around to it. In the meantime, I found your OC exercise interesting and liked the format, so here goes:

Name: Tokage Mizumomo
Nickname, if any: granny, Old Lady Mizu
Gender: F
Body Type: O
Age: 39

Personality: Cynical, sarcastic, steam-roller-like, and snarky. No concept of propriety and her social skills have been shot to hell over the years, but believes in the way of the blade and unswerving dedication to any commitment one might make, whether it's to a mission or a contracted master.

Unique Characteristics: Bulky and muscular, stands around 6 foot 1 and is able to carry off heavier armour than a ninja usually would be able to. Everything from her upper jaw to the base of her throat is encased in a complicated mechanical apparatus. Looks very average, and that's minus the scarring and frown lines. Hair is dark and shoulder length.

Ninja techniques: (1 to 5 * -- rookies hover between 1 and 2, a particular skill probably gets 3. Naruto's chakra reserves would be a 6 or 7, but then he's abnormal like that.)
-Genjutsu: defensive and subtle overlay genjutsu (**1/2), offensive "brain-breakin'" genjutsu (***)
-Ninjutsu: Tokage clan specialization-tokage bunshin (*****), cellular regeneration (****)
-Taijutsu: hand-to-hand combat (***), short-range weapons (****)
Background: result of a full-bore bloodline limited ninja clan, now extinct due to a combination of severe inbreeding and anti-kekkei genkai campaigns.

-Education: schooled in clan techniques early by other members; entered the Grass Academy late, graduated late.
-How did her family impact the character?: Mizumomo got most of her peculiar detachment and roaming quirks from being raised in this rather creepy environment. She's also a genetic sport as the IQ and physical durability of the clan have declined severely in favour of enhancing the bloodline abilities.

Likes: weapons training, ugly dogs, travel
Dislikes: bratty small children, the smell of formaldehyde, excessive delay
Hobbies: journaling, making preserves; she also hoards travel brochures if she's residing in a fixed location
Friends, significant others: she considers Umebogyo of the Sound a respected colleague, she is loyal to Orochimaru, and she's gotten sort of vaguely attached to her rotten little students. Everyone else she's ever liked has wound up dead.
Longterm goals: She'll settle for surviving to see 45.

Character as she sees herself: hardass, independent, antisocial, wanderer, disposable
Character as others see him: terrifying hag-monster, bloodthirsty evil bitch, dependable, rotten temper, highly skilled, quite competent
How does the character react to stress? : she either buckles down and channels it into her work, or downloads it back onto the poor sap who's causing the stress, drill-sergeant style.

oh god the teal deer, I apologize

What are the character's thoughts on : (how would he react to:)
-Murder? (Killing in self-defense? Killing in cold blood? Could he do it and how would it impact him?)
She's survived as a ninja for quite some time by being very relaxed about the idea of killing any shinobi she is ordered to, no questions and no qualms; you go into the profession expecting to kill or be killed, that's that, no hard feelings. Similarly, civilians wealthy enough to afford ninja protection are fair game and an interesting test of her skills. She *will* kill the defenseless under order, but with extreme distaste--where's the challenge? Killing "just because" is right out, although she's occasionally assaulted or maimed subordinates and colleagues to drive home a point.
-Sex? (importance of chastity, choice of partners, opinion on others who don't share his views? "not there yet"? Homosexuality, in himself, in others?))
Fundamentally, she doesn't care who does what with whom (or what), because it's not her concern in any way unless the person's libido or relationship is interfering with her/their goals somehow. She's never had sex herself; feminine wiles do not rank high in her combat itinerary, and she's considered it a pointless and possibly hazardous exercise.
-Theft? (is it okay to steal from rich people? Big companies? Shops? Little grandmas? Only when he's dying of hunger? Only when he can't buy clothes? Only when the owner pissed him off? None of the above?)
She has Certain Standards about taking your shit: it's acceptable to loot the bodies of your dead shinobi foes, but don't steal from weaker nins unless it's a desperation situation, and never from civilians.
-Outsiders? (people from other countries, other cities -- All X-Y-Zians are bandits? Just people? Speshul Ethnicity = 10 pts of Sexy?)
Mizu's been a nuke-nin for almost two decades, so her concept of "outsider" is somewhat flexible, but she has bought into the Sound party line that Leaf ninjas overall are disgustingly sentimental with all their snuggly peace-and-unity talk.

I am picturing in my head the conversations (confrontations?) that led to Team 7's baby-naming rules, and I am laughing. XD

The detail you go into when you create new characters! My OCs usually amount to being extras and thus fill purposes like the tools they are, before fading into the background. Sometimes I name them and/or decide what they look like! That's about it.

I've got a name! YURIUCHIHAMISOMARU. XD

Also, am using that description profile for a Naruto RP.

Wow, is it strange that the only decent OC I have is a child?

Name: Kiyo Kaito

Gender: Female

Body Type: Short and childish- Kiyo obviously hasn't hit puberty yet. She's got rather pale skin and brown hair which is constantly knotty and dirty and is probably sporting skinned knees.

Age: 7

Personality: While she might not be the most outgoing child, her curiousity tends to get her into trouble anyways. Very conscious of the rules, but constantly wandering off to explore.

Unique Characteristics: She's got rather pale skin and brown hair which is constantly knotty and dirty and is probably sporting skinned knees.

Background:
-Education: She's just started at the Ninja Academy in Konoha, but she's practicing very hard to be able to sneak past the butcher she passes every morning on the way to the academy.

-How did his family impact the character? : Both of her parents were ninjas when they were younger, but her mother retired when Kiyo was born. After her father died, her mother became rather distant, and while she doesn't seem to care that Kiyo wants to be a ninja, she refuses to help train her.

Likes: Fruit, climbing trees, and meeting fun people

Dislikes: boredom, carrots, and going to bed

Hobbies: exploring and reading

Friends, significant others: She likes to talk with Hatchi, a boy at the academy.

Longterm goals: Sneak past the butcher, become a ninja, and make her mom smile

How does the character react to stress? : She hasn't really been put to the test, but she'd probably run away to go think.

What are the character's thoughts on : (how would he react to:)

-Murder? (Killing in self-defense? Killing in cold blood? Could he do it and how would it impact him?) She understands that ninja kill and die as ninja, like her father, but that they do it to protect their families and villages.

-Sex? (importance of chastity, choice of partners, opinion on others who don't share his views? "not there yet"? Homosexuality, in himself, in others?))Totally not there yet.

-Theft? (is it okay to steal from rich people? Big companies? Shops? Little grandmas? Only when he's dying of hunger? Only when he can't buy clothes? Only when the owner pissed him off? None of the above?) Stealing is BAD and you shouldn't do it (but stealing little things and then putting them back without being noticed is a good ninja skill).

-Outsiders? (people from other countries, other cities -- All X-Y-Zians are bandits? Just people? Speshul Ethnicity = 10 pts of Sexy?) Hasn't really met any outsiders, but she'd ask them countless questions about their home.

Okay, so it's a Uchiha...

[identity profile] rurounitriv.livejournal.com 2007-08-27 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
Name: Uchiha Setsuna
Nickname, if any: Has been known as Yukimura Setsuna for the last 20 years
Gender: Male
Body Type: A little short, a bit stocky, but not fat, just solid
Age: 35
Personality: Laid-back, a bit sarcastic, but pretty easy to get along with. Likes kids.
Unique Characteristics: Low-level sharingan (only 2 swirls)
Ninja techniques: (1 to 5 * -- rookies hover between 1 and 2, a particular skill probably gets 3. Naruto's chakra reserves would be a 6 or 7, but then he's abnormal like that.)
-Genjutsu: **
-Ninjutsu: ***
-Taijutsu: ***
OTHER: His one outstanding skill in the Academy was wilderness survival. He's only gotten better with time.

Background:
-Education: Standard Academy education
-How did his family impact the character? : His family was embarrassed by the fact that he failed to pass the Academy finals three times, and was well on the way to failing a fourth, so he ran away from Konoha. The clan heads sent a chunnin to make sure the Bloodline wasn't diluted (they didn't really care if he got castrated or killed) and he managed to evade. A year later, another chuunin was sent, and found a body identified as his in the forest near his last location. He has been believed dead by everyone in Konoha for 20 years, but has been living in Ice Country for almost all of that time.
Likes: Loves his wife and kids, cold weather, hunting.
Dislikes: Uchiha Itachi (with a passion), anything that threatens his family or his new home
Hobbies: Whittling. His specialty is whistles
Friends, significant others: Wife Yukimura Kyoko, children Kashiro (17), Hiroko (16) and Jono (14)
Longterm goals: Raise happy, healthy kids. Defend his land. Live to a ripe old age and die in bed with his wife.

Character as he sees himself: Pretty boring, family man, not particularly talented as a ninja
Character as others see him: You know that uncle everyone likes, the one who tells stories to the kids, makes sure that they're all getting along, but you know if anything threatened them he'd die before he let a hair on their heads get hurt? That's Setsuna.
How does the character react to stress? : Cool, calm and professional. He's not a strong ninja, but he knows how to use what he's got to maximum advantage.
What are the character's thoughts on : (how would he react to:)
-Murder? (Killing in self-defense? Killing in cold blood? Could he do it and how would it impact him?) He could and has done it. His family and his adopted people are the most important things in his life, he'll gladly lay down his life if it makes things better for them.
-Sex? (importance of chastity, choice of partners, opinion on others who don't share his views? "not there yet"? Homosexuality, in himself, in others?)) Madly in love with his wife. Chastity is important for him, but he doesn't hold other people to the same standard. Homosexuality is not his thing, but he doesn't care who puts what where as long as it's not rape and they don't try to pull him into it.
-Theft? (is it okay to steal from rich people? Big companies? Shops? Little grandmas? Only when he's dying of hunger? Only when he can't buy clothes? Only when the owner pissed him off? None of the above?) If it's a mission or survival, he'll take what he needs.
-Outsiders? (people from other countries, other cities -- All X-Y-Zians are bandits? Just people? Speshul Ethnicity = 10 pts of Sexy?) He is an outsider, in Ice Country. He's learned not to go purely by the stereotypes, as he breaks a few himself.

About bears - I think the Ainu had some bear myths; not exactly Japanese, but very close.

Bears are supposed to be about as intelligent as the great apes, with excellent senses of smell and hearing. On top of that, even black bears (the smallest bear species I know of) can easily hit 500-600 pounds, and Kodiaks are some of (if not the) biggest land carnivores in the world. Black bears can climb trees. Grizzly bears are excellent diggers. They can eat pretty much anything. That says 'versatile', to me.

I like bears. Can you tell?

Oh, and I've yet to write a Naruto story with an OC, but I used to RP an Akimichi, so I figure that counts.

Name: Akimichi Kenzan
Gender: Male
Body Type: heavyset, of course
Age: 19
Personality: Easy-going, generally a friendly individual.
Ninja techniques:
-Genjutsu: 2 (he knows a few of the more benign genjutsu, for those missions that require finesse)
-Ninjutsu: 4 (he's learned a little of everything, but prefers water and earth techniques for their not-immediately-lethal nature)
-Taijutsu: 4 (his primary interest, along with a variety of weapon styles)
Background:
-Education: the Konoha Academy
-How did his family impact the character? : I see the Akimichis as being a very friendly, generous, and open-handed family-oriented clan, with a large network of extended family, and Kenzan exemplifies those traits.
Likes: anything that promises to be a good time, no matter how much a fool it makes him look; he has a special fondness for karaoke.
Dislikes: what he calls "machine-ninja" (those ninja who follow the ninja guidelines without exception), and people who make fun of fat people (still a bit sensitive from his school days).
Hobbies: gardening, cooking
Friends, significant others: Many acquaintances and colleagues, but almost no real friends outside the clan: his job keeps him on the move often.
Longterm goals: to live long enough to retire.

What are the character's thoughts on : (how would he react to:)
-Murder? (Killing in self-defense? Killing in cold blood? Could he do it and how would it impact him?)
Only if it could not be avoided; he is very glad for the fact that he has never yet to be assigned an assassination mission
-Sex? (importance of chastity, choice of partners, opinion on others who don't share his views? "not there yet"? Homosexuality, in himself, in others?))
He isn't hung up on premarital sex, but he's yet to have the opportunity; he's of the "if it feels good, do it" school of thought. Might even be open to homosexuality, if asked, though he's never tried it.
-Theft? (is it okay to steal from rich people? Big companies? Shops? Little grandmas? Only when he's dying of hunger? Only when he can't buy clothes? Only when the owner pissed him off? None of the above?)
"Don't sweat the small stuff, like thievery" is practically his motto. If he needs it, and it's there, he's going to go for it.
-Outsiders? (people from other countries, other cities -- All X-Y-Zians are bandits? Just people? Speshul Ethnicity = 10 pts of Sexy?)
Kenzan's job since hitting Chuunin is as a Fire Country messenger and occasional envoy, who very much enjoys trips outside of Konoha and the unique eccentricities of the other Countries.

Introducing Uchiha /Seijuuro

[identity profile] bootoye.livejournal.com 2007-08-27 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
I had to make up a Naruto OC a couple years back when I was at a Naruto Forum. So here goes.

Name: Uchiha Seijuuro
Nickname, if any: Sei
Gender: male
Body Type: petite, yet well-proportioned, 4'9" tall
Age: 13
Personality: Friendly in a polite way to everyone. Doesn't take himself too seriously and he has a good sense of humour. He has a slight rebellious streak, as most others his age and he is a natural leader.
Unique Characteristics: He has auburn hair and hazel eyes unlike the other Uchiha who all have black hair and black eyes.
Ninja techniques:
-Genjutsu: Oddly enough he has no aptitude for genjutsu (no sharingan, no genjutsu)
-Ninjutsu: Giant Fireball (Uchiha signature ninjutsu), Raikou (Lightning) Jutsu (forms his chakra into lightning bolts which can be thrown at an adversary. he is still working on proper control.) Summoning jutsu (black jaguar)
-Taijutsu: Expert at hand-to-hand, twin Sai, very agile(like a little monkey in a battle^^)
Background: Seijuuro was born and bred in the Uchiha compound, in the time just after the war against the Village of Stone. His father was cousin to the sister-in-law of the clan leader. His mother was from the Akimichi clan (well-respected within Uchiha clan as well). He has an older sister (20 yrs) in the police service and his mother recently informed him that there would soon be another member in this Uchiha household.
Because of his unusual eye colour, most of the clan elders believe that he will never possess the sharingan but he would carry on the gene. This seems to be the only disadvantage that his unusual colouring has brought him, he has been accepted by the clan. Outsiders sometimes make off comments but usually he ignores them
He is part of a 3-man genin team and he is currently trying to train as hard as he can to get stronger.
-Education: Ninja Academy, Uchiha home training
-How did his family impact the character? : His clan is the best! This is why he is arrogant. His mom has a great sense of humour and he has a great relationship with his sister. Dad is a little cool in his affections but all the Uchiha men are slightly aloof!
Likes: Jaguars, food, training
Dislikes: People who feel he needs a pep talk about his lack of the sharingan.
Hobbies: Sparring, ride-alongs with his sister at work, origami
Friends, significant others: He has two friends one is his teammate Koeda (an emo blond with excellent fighting form) and Ejji-niisan who just became a chunin, he's 5 years older, his father is Akiko's partner at work.

Longterm goals: He has the Uchiha arrogance but is genuinely concerned about the well-being and safety of the villagers. He plans to join the Police force just like his father, uncles and sister (Akiko).

Character as he sees himself: Mada mada dane
Character as others see him: assertive, a natural leader, someone who knows what he is about
How does the character react to stress? : He will usually laugh it off or go kick some trees
What are the character's thoughts on :
-Murder?
Self-defense is okay. He would have to learn to kill if he is going to join the Police
-Sex?
He's half the size of the girls he knows...they scare him. He never thought about boys that way...at least not yet! He skipped sex ed 101
-Theft?
Stealing is wrong, period!! There are no shades of Grey when it comes to the law.
-Outsiders?
Well as a sort of 'other' himself, Seijuuro's empathy has made him very tolerant of the people he might encounter. That said though he will not suffer the company of fools and imbeciles. if you can't grasp a technique after getting a demonstration once, then you are a dolt...He will not give 'dumb' people the time of day.

Name: Yamato Tohno

Nickname: Matt, Darkeyes

Gender: Male

Body Type: Lean and wiry.

Age: 14 (in the Chuunin exams)

Personality: Sarcastic, protective of the helpless, has an odd affinity for struggling people (underdogs) so he'd probably love Naruto and Hinata (though he'd show it with obnoxious jokes, weird looks, and the occasional friendly grin). Eerily attached to his older sister, Hotaru. He also has a bizarre affection for darkness (oh noes goth ninja!) and dragons.

Unique Characteristics: His left arm is always, always bound in black leather bandages. They don't seem to interfere with him using it, but they seem to be completely permeated with chakra, which prevents Byakugan from seeing his arm. He wields a black katana (I hear your groans) in his right hand.

Ninja techniques:

Genjutsu: ** (He pretty much only does darkness illusions. Making shadows move, covering the area in black, that sort of thing. This is mostly useful for blinding an enemy.)

Ninjutsu: *** (Special techniques: Darkness clone, which is like shadow clone only the clones are incapable of doing damage, instead collapsing around enemies like so much black gunk. Shadewarp, a short-range teleport. Both techniques require shadows nearby.)

Taijutsu: Long-range: ** (aim is mediocre, power is low), Short-range: **** (Wickedly fast and accurate with his sword, his bandaged arm is freakishly strong and feels more like a chunk of metal than flesh.)

Background: His parents are dead, he was raised by the village with his sister, Hotaru, who he clings to for support. He had a teacher at around age six who taught him swordsmanship for a few years, then vanished. He's been hoping to see that teacher ever since.

Education: Basics, mostly self-taught and by Hotaru. Entered Ninja school at the basic time and graduated at slightly above average level.

Family impact: Hotaru is his world. Her word is law to him. It's almost frightening how devoted he is to her, and point of fact, odd rumors have followed the two on occasion (completely unfounded ones).

Likes: Sour food, a good fight, watching an underdog win (and even more so, helping that happen), swordplay, darkness, dragons (rumored to be hunting a way to summon them).

Dislikes: Fighting without his sword, people asking about his arm bandages, being separated from his sister, arrogance.

Hobbies: Obsessive training, sneaking up on people, making snarky remarks.

Friends/Significant Others: Only Hotaru. He views his relationships with the other members of his team as business-only. He was close with his Swordsmanship teacher, right up until he left.

Longterm goals: Find where his sword teacher went, become a higher-up Ninja and train a group of nothing but trainees with the odds stacked against them.

As he sees himself: Sarcastic, amusing, stand-offish.

As others see him: Obnoxious, cold, way too obsessed with Hotaru.

React to stress: All emotion vanishes. Even his eyes go dead. He heads straight for Hotaru and obeys whatever orders she has. If she's not near, he strikes out at any and all acceptable nearby targets.

Thoughts on:

Murder: He's merciless to his enemies. More than anything else, he hates traitors, and will slay them even without orders or provocation.

Sex: He'd only be interested if he found someone outside of his sister that he really liked. He could care less what anyone else does, so long as they aren't after his sister (and if they are, God help them).

Theft: If necessary or ordered. Other than that, he'll find another way.

Outsiders?: If they aren't him or Hotaru, he rarely will express more than a brief interest. Nationality, appearance, and stereotypes are irrelevant.

I should make a bio for Hotaru too...

there are few stories where i need OC's
i mean i have two right now because one of my stories needed sakura to have children. but really i try to keep them out of the story as much as possible

i call them my little plot devices
i guess i have just gotten sick of them because darn near every story i have read recently has a mary sue popping up. I cant tell you how many awesome beautiful confident long lost relatives i have seen lately who pwn all other kunoichi and make naruto/sasuke/kakashi just love them INSTANTLY

im getting real sick of that

You don't know me, probably, but I often lurk around your journal.

I agree, creating OCs is fun. A demanding kind of fun. I liked your characters, especially Zenko. Naruto world needs more kickass girls.

Here are my characters from the next-generarion type of fic in my head that will probably never get written.

Name: Uchiha Izumi (formerly Naoe Izumi, her mother's surname)
Nickname, if any: Izu-chan (by Naruto, Sakura and Aoshi)
Gender: female
Body Type: Average height, slender, small-breasted.
Age: 17
Personality: She's a fairly well-adapted teenager. Bossy by nature. Rarely is fazed by anything. Doesn't suffer fools gladly and has a mean streak when showing off her physical and intelectual superiority to lesser humans. Believes she can do anything she wants. Can be very judgemental without thinking the circumstances through. Values family and is very honourable. Friendly when there's no reason not to be. Affectionate with people she's close to.
Unique Characteristics: not many; black hair always tied in a tight bun atop of her head with wisps escaping it - she keeps weapons in it when on a mission; a pretty female version of Sasuke (and Itachi). She knows she looks well and uses her to her advantage.
Ninja techniques: Uses Sharingan proficiently in its copying and predicting capacity.
-Genjutsu: 8/10
-Ninjutsu: 7/10
-Taijutsu: 4/10
Background: Daughter of Uchiha Itachi (no, don't go! I have a very nice convoluted story about that! ), adopted by Uchiha Sasuke at age 4. Lives with Sasuke but Sakura and Naruto had equal impact on her upbringing.
Education: Konoha Academy, some home schooling.
How did his family impact the character: She knows her birth father was a black sheep of the family but not exactly what he did. She's proud to be an Uchiha and idolizes her uncle most of the time. She believes she has destiny of making a difference.
Likes: Fun. Can be qute a party animal. Bickering with Saita. Daydreaming about her grand future. Leading the men on.
Dislikes: Stubborness in other people, goofing around.
Hobbies: Calligraphy, to lesser extend drawing.
Friends, significant others: Saita and Aoshi, several kunoichi from her Academy class. Sakura is her role model. She started having boyfriends at 15 and changes them on regular basis, but she's never been serious about any of them.
Longterm goals: None actually. She would like to become an ANBU, to bring prestige to the Uchiha family, but it isn't very pressing.
Character as she sees herself: cool, intelligent and a leader-type
Character as others see her: nice most of the time, if too proud and too quick to mock.
How does the character react to stress?: Her focus increases, she becomes deadly serious.
What are the character's thoughts on:
-Murder?: Killing during the mission is usually an unavoidable neccessity, whether in self-defense or on orders. Murder without an order or not in self-defense is a treason to the village and should be treated as such. She's perfectly able to kill and not think about it later.
-Sex?: Sex is there to be fun, although one should be picky about partners. She's only had sex with only one of her boyfriends. She thinks that those who are strict about sex have sticks up their asses and those who sleep around too much are pitiful. She's definitely heterosexual, but homosexuality is perfectly natural in her books (what with her biggest childhood trauma being walking in on Sasuke and Naruto).
-Theft?: It's all right to steal on a mission or when her life depends on in. Otherwise it's not honourable.
-Outsiders? Non-Konoha people are a curiousity, but that's all. Well, perhaps those from the Mist are cooler than others for some reason.

[identity profile] moriapolonius.livejournal.com 2007-08-27 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Name: Mitarashi Saita
Nickname, if any: none
Gender: male
Body Type: Tall and muscled.
Age: 15
Status: A jounin (a youngest jounin in the history of Konoha after Uchiha Itachi.
Personality: Extremely short-tempered, prone to fits of rage and violence. Sarcastic, can be very malicious. Touchy about a number of subjects, very self-conscious. Very blunt, seemingly doesn't know what 'diplomacy' means. However, has a romantic streak: he's very protective of women and generally gets along better with girls than with boys.
Unique Characteristics: A tatoo of a winged snake that goes around his neck and climbs up to his cheek. Very wild, shoulder-length, white hair that he refuses to cut.
Ninja techniques:
-Genjutsu: 7/10
-Ninjutsu: 5/10
-Taijutsu: 7/10
Background: Son of Mitarashi Anko, father unknown. A product of rape. Brought up mostly by his mother's relatives since Anko spent more time on missions than not.
-Education: Konoha Academy.
-How did his family impact the character?: His mother was very erratic in his attitude towards him: sometimes he would be her precious boy but more often she would push him away and remark that he's a spawn of a monster. He wants to be more like her so that she would forget who his father was. The relatives were never particularily loving either.
Likes: Throwing blades, practicing techniques, fighting, reading stories, exploring new places.
Dislikes: Men. Family dinners. Formal outfits and uniforms of any kind.
Hobbies: Fantasizing about saving a damsel in distress. Collecting figurines of fantastic beasts, the more outlandish and unbelieveable the better.
Friends, significant others: He's best friends with twin girls of the Hyuuga clan who attended Academy with him for some time. He doesn't have a girlfriend yet although he's fairly popular with girls who haven't personally witnessed his more violent episodes. He thinks of Uchiha Izumi as an older sister. Aoshi is one of the few boys he tolerates (in fact, he looks up to Aoshi, although he would never admit it) and feels some connection to.
Longterm goals: Make his mother love him. He thinks that he gave up on that, but it's still the driving force in his life.
Character as he sees himself: A knight in shining armour.
Character as others see him: An unpredicatble psycho.
How does the character react to stress?: With violence, either verbal of physical.
What are the character's thoughts on:
-Murder? Perfectly fine. Saita can be even described as bloodthirsty which should be attributed to Anko being his mother. He can do it and even feel satisfaction of the kill being done well. However, the satisfaction is only present in the case of killing a man, never a woman. Saita avoids fighting and killing women, to the point of it affecting his working performance.
-Sex? Sex should be had out of great love. He's condenscensing of people who sleep around; forcing and/or manipulating someone into having sex is an unforgivable sin. He's a virgin but notices girls, he just tries to be gallant towards them (not always succeeding, the temper getting often better of him).
