What a beautiful day. The sun was shining high in the light blue sky, some sparse cloud covering floating around to make it all feel peaceful... though it may just be a ruse. The young Genin known as Zeriq walked around on this day, looking at the sky here and there when not in danger of running into people, his eyes scanning the crowds continuously. The sights of the village never ceased to amaze him, this starting the fourth year of him being here; people in various stages of emotion, people running around on errands, children with their families... truly wondrous sights to behold in this village. Though the smells of the market district are much better, sadly Zeri is in the residential district at the moment... could have a tea shop around here, or a food stall.

"That reminds me, I used the last of my funds... I'm gonna have to take a quick job here soon if I don't want to starve." Talking aloud to himself, not really worrying about people overhearing, he's not talking too loud... though his ears were moving to overhear others conversations, "I wonder if there's one that I can take that pays well, and is fitting of my skill set... I also need a teacher to help me learn some jutsu..." His mind goes over the techniques he's able to do, and all of them are rather basic Taijutsus, only good attacks were in Muay Thai... then there's the gate release, but that messed him up first time he did it. "I need to train more."

His feet continued to carry him around the residential area for the moment, he didn't own a house himself; not like he needs to sleep anyway, every worldly possession always carried on him at all times. All he does is walk around the village all day and night, his legs showing this, though he does stop here and there for small training and rests. Scanning the area around him, Zeri decides to lean against the wall, not really noticing anything too dangerous... and only hearing small bits of conversation from around him. Stretching, cracking bones, and leaning against the wall... he turns his head towards the beautiful sky, a smile cracking behind his mask...

"It's a beautiful day... the birds are singing wonderfully, and the flowers look as ever; beautiful."

Errmanno was at the edge of the village nearby kneeling down towards the ground. Something interested him on the ground. Not that one could tell exactly what he was looking at. He was looking at how ants were tearing apart a small carcass. He had a small notepad and a pen recording something in his hands. If one got to close to him you could swear their was the buzzing of bees.

And a even closer examination of him would realize that the fire Ants were coming from his body. He was doing a study though his attire was somewhat odd. He was wearing this great beat up looking hobo jacket. It was open to reveal his bodysuit and pants that looked like they had better times. It was obvious that he didn't have a decent home to live in. His head was covered in a cloth helmet like thing that covered most of his face. He was wearing boot, gloves, and goggles that covered any hint of skin on him. Very few people knew this mysterious man.

It was just obvious that he had a connection to bugs. His pen was writing away about his observation of the bugs that he kept with him. On him he had a few books in his pockets, a scroll (looks like a map one), a compass and a pen light. Not much to his worldly possessions. He had clearly seen better days and more to the point worse days.

Zeri notices the man wearing the beat up coat, as he stares at the ground at something Zeri could not see from this area. Something about the guy seemed rather familiar to him, almost like he sees him around or something... oh right, Errmanno, a rather intelligent shinobi who usually got better grade than Zeri. He also didn't have a home, Zeri usually saw him sleeping near trees or in areas where bugs congregate. Sometimes, Zeriq would choose that spot to meditate at and keep watch to ensure nothing happened while the other slept. Well, he wasn't going to get any info just leaning here... as he straightened up and walked over to the other, getting close to see the carcass, and crouching down within eyesight... not getting too close incase he could damage something...

"So what's got you so interested and vested over here?" Zeriq's first reaction is to be friendly, he has found it's better up here on the surface. Though now he sees the ants on the ground, and is slightly fascinated by them and their movements; "Ah, so the ground also have some hidden potential for interesting things I see... not like you'd see much ants underground..."

Even though his attention was elsewhere, Zeri's ears were focusing from all around him, keeping track of anything that may be coming up from behind them. Course he was sure he could handle anything... not too difficult, he really needed to train more. His eyes continue to watch the little insects on the ground, not really watching what they're doing, but what they are... fascinating little creatures.

Errmanno chuckled at the ignorance of the shinobi that walked up on him. The other person didn't really disturb the ants from their foraging. It was an interesting process of decay and circle of life. The Ants were tearing bits of flesh and fur off the dead creature and bringing back to their colony center. The center which was in his bodysuit known as an Ant Armor. He looked up from his notes to make a quick observation of the Shinobi that talked to him.

"Your Wrong, um, Zerig? Anyways, Ants are mostly underground and the few you see above ground are just workers and soldiers. If you look closely its more than just Ants harvesting for their various colonies. " Inside the carcass was eggs for Blow Flies and other bugs. It was a whole eco system on a micro scale that he was studying. He went back to taking notes for later dissection.

Errmanno was taking careful notes and kept referring to a fairly precise but beat up watch. His voice was kind of chittery. And Zeriq would have anything he heard have to be over the sound of buzzing. As it got louder when he approached, It seemed the Bees were curious as several climbed out of him from somewhere to sit on his sleeve. And you could even see a chakra bug sitting on a shoulder.

It was like waking up from a maddening dream, one moment, she remembered the sages giving a solemn smile towards her. The next memory was her being flown into the air, feeling so cold, that ice girl was the one to free her from her slumber. Now she needs to know what her purpose here in the village is this time. She must meet the kage. A groan escaped her wooden lips and her root like fingers grasped her forehead. Her gigantic form of eight feet knelled on the ground, a memory was surging back to her mind.

*Flashback*
Insidious motives were haunting her mind, the sages, the people who created her, the ones she vowed to protect. Sadness, grief, relief. All these emotions the two sages were giving off made her confused. Why would such wise elders emit such things? The air was stagnant, elders unwanting to talk to her. Her tall form quickly got into a protective stance, in case the elders decided to betray her. But the next spoken words were not of betray, but of a farewell.

"Beatrice, my daughter, peace is finally washing over our lands, the blood that has been stained will be etched onto the flat lands of our home. It was an arduous journey for us. You have served your village with duty. I do sincerely apologize for the death of your leader. It shouldn't of happened. We knew you would have an aptitude for healing but we only cared for you immense strength, not your caring nurturing nature." The words he spoke sang with emotion. The elder was tired. Tired of everything that happened in the last few decades. But relief was his main focal point. He didn't have to worry about any threats that would haunt and linger anymore. Beatrice lowered her defensive stance, now knowing that the elders meant no harm, but she was still suspicious to why they called her.

The female elder soon spoke up, "You must be wondering why we called you here." Beatrice knew she was a fabled mindwalker, she was able to get into the minds of any one and not even leave a trace of her presence. She was truly frightening, but her aura did not radiate threat, it was just a passive form she was used to. The memory became fuzzy and soon fractured in her mind.

*Back to present*
A high pitched scream rasped from her form, her mind was fractured too deep. It scared her not knowing of her past anymore. But she knew she had a purpose. The feeling she also got from their tired minds, they wanted death to approach them. They wanted to finally rest in peace, let their spirits roam the loam of the Earth once more. In her kneeling position, despite being in a populous area with other citizens, she sent her chakra into the earth, sending a small pray to her elders, knowing their spirits were out there, watching over the lands they protected. The grass around her began to grow a bit, answering and absorbing the chakra that was feed into the earth.

A faint form of lingering pain reached her senses, but quickly vanished. Her ability to sense the auras of others seemed faulty, but would come back in time. She spotted a tuft of blonde locks and a black face mask, she knew the feeling of lost pain was coming from him. The boy seemed to be still a child. She needed to nurture such boy, make him be able to trust once again, or at least fellow allies. She never trusted any one outside her village. Another feeling came from the boy she as now tailing, a whisper of something dark, but it soon vanished from her mind. A frown etched onto her disfigured form. The citizens of the village were staring t her grotesque form, most of the villagers had an aura of curiosity, but lurking under t hat was judgment. She was use to that back in her own time. The amount of kills she did made the other protectors fear her. It sadden her that her own allies would think of such actions towards her.

Her tall eight foot wooden form tried to keep up with the younger boy, but her speed was not what it use to be. She saw the boy finally slow down, but to only see him start talking to a man in clothes that seemed to be made out of rags. She felt a multitude of emotions radiating from the boy. Faint buzzing was also being shown. It seemed as if the whole body of the boy was alive.



She got closer, her branches creaking and snapping as she walked, not caring about stealth, but to meet the two boys. She was to lost from the world now to know anything. She needed guidance. A wash of slight depression, but not very much entered her senses, but quickly vanished. It seemed as if the buzzing man was alone most of the time. Being alone could be a blessing and a curse, the yern for a companion always rang true in her mind, never having one alive long enough to form a close bond. Beatrice did not see what the rag man was doing, but still creaked closer.



She merely waited there, waiting to be acknowledged, but not wanting to interrupt a bond if they had one. What concerned her the most was the masked boy. His soul seemed to flourish with something dark. Her nursing side wanted to help, at least control such side.

Zeriq would continue to watch the ants as they moved around the carcass, following them back as he scanned the ground and noticed that they were coming from Errmanno; so it's just as the rumors stated, he was a member of the bug clan. But, to have someone of a clan be living in a homeless environment, something bad must have happened... Zeri's cold eyes would look at the face of the man, or what he could see, wondering what it was that chased this one from his ancestral home. Though he does see the circle of life imagery that he was pointing out, a single death could start a whole circle effect. A kind smile grows under the mask as he continues to watch.

"That's Zeriq, Errmanno, with a que not a gee. People call me Zeri though, or in certain circles of Tai specialists, they seem to enjoy calling me; Daegami, a Demon of Death. Don't know why." The darkness in his heart would well up for a second there at the mention of that name, a name he has accepted as apart of himself. The old geezer back in the pit gave him that name, so it's a little precious to him. "And ants weren't as deep in the ground as we were; I can't remember how deep we were, but time stood still." His eyes move to stare at the sky, its blue hue rather radiant, "But I can say, the sky is really beautiful out here."

Then he'd turn his gaze to stare at the one who seemed to have been following him for the passed while, giving a warm smile as he saw the tree woman standing there, waiting quietly to be noticed by someone; "Hello there ma'am, didn't mean to ignore you there; I suppose it was you who was following me for a while now? He would then get a closer look at her, and tilt his head slightly, remembering back to the old days, the darkness welling a little at the memory, "You kind of remind me Onzen, a boy I was acquainted with, though he wasn't quite as much as you. He was a good kid.. wonder where he is now." He kinda gets a far away look in his crimson eyes as the light of the sun adds a yellow tint to his silver hair, the darkness lessening.

Errmanno at first ignored the creaking and movement of birch. He knew of her of course, who wouldn't have heard of a centuries old tree coming to life. He had studied some bugs near that tree not realizing what it was. He looked up from watching his ants and other bugs work on a corpse of what may have been a rabbit or something else really small. The Ants were making short efficient work of it.

Errmanno saw that it was birch and then went back to observing his bugs for even walking trees are a momentary distraction from his insects. Nothing was more fascinating than his insects. But it was an odd and rare occurrence that she came to be. He was normal compared to that monstrousity. But it look like Zeriq is the most normal out of the three of them. He was a living colony thanks to his 'family'. "Zeri, eh. Trust me no matter how deep you were there was some form of Ants. maybe not these as they do leave closer to the top but ant colonies can go miles deep. Any deeper and its the earth's core. " He did ignore Birch since Zeri did the talking.

He didn't mind the bugs but he did mind not being asked the first time. Errmanno eventually had gotten of course more colonies because like any other of his original clan he liked bugs. But he liked all bugs not just Chakra bugs. Errmanno didn't realized this many people were willing to be next to a disgrace and a homeless one at that. But then again if he had heard right Zeriq is homeless as well and the tree thing wouldn't have had a home for centuries. Either way the current life cycle he was studying was important.

Beatrice stayed there motionless, her roots on her feet digging into the earth, absorbing nutrients and doing the photosynthetic process to gather nutrients for her body. She patiently listened to the masked blonde boy. The monstrous woman could feel pain radiating from the boy. It sadden her that one so young had to endure such turmoils. Ignoring the beginning portion of the conversation between the two boys, she focused on the boy in front of her. "...My Child..."Her voiced rasped out in a hushed tone, "..Who did this to you..." Her hands went through a soft movement of gestures before her wood-like fingers were laced with a dark green hue.

"This Ozen...did he hurt you..." Her protective nature was beginning to bud, she creaked slowly, roots uplifting the soft top soil from the ground, and slowly knelled towards the boy. A solemn hand rested on the boys back, allowing her calm, nature filled chakra to enter the child's system. She turned to face the buzzing sensation of the hobo like man, he simply ignored her presence and so she returned the favor. When the man needs her, he will seek her out.

turning her attention back to the boy, she placed her other hand on his chest, using her size and strength to hold the boy in place with out his permission. She relied on her soothing chakra to make her patients bid by her rule. Getting a basic diagnostics from the gentle caressing she imposed, Beatrice felt past scars that she could not heal as of yet. small peelings of skin were torn on his fingers. She drifted her earthen green laced hand over his hands, allowing the skin to mend back together. She felt tendons stretched and slightly torn, from what, she did not know, but all she cared about was the boy to heal.

She sent her wooden hands over the ligaments in Zeri's arms, allowing them to slowly knit back together. Her healing capabilities were not as strong as they once were, but right now any bit helped. the torn ligaments were better than before, but still a minor problem that she was unable to fix. Given time, a day or so, they would heal naturally, given how resilient most ninjas are.

she frowned, allowing her morphed face to be ever more so frightening. She did hope her appearance didn't scare the boy. Zeri did seem rather tense in her care. Bones were slightly fractured in his arms, her powers were not capable yet of mending. But she tried her best to have a temporary fix. another wave of soothing nature filled medical chakra would wash over Zeri, focusing on the sight fractures, allowing them to mend ever so slightly, at least he pain would be dulled down for now. "My child...come to me if you ever need more healing..."

Observation
Rank: "E"
Skill: Skill
Effect: This skill focuses certain powers of observation - sight, smell, hearing, and touch.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Can be learned by an Animal. A failed check indicates that the character is oblivious until the thing is pointed out to him.

A Game Master may roll an Observation skill check for a Character any time there is an NPC, monster, event or happening that a character might notice, even if he did not specifically state that he is monitoring his surroundings. Characters are capable of noticing any event within their perception. Observation reveals only facts, not motivation. If user has 25 or more Ranks in Evidence Analysis user gains a Synergy Bonus +10 to Observation. Each time learned user gets 1 die roll to increase the skill.
Limit: ---

Zeri would look a bit surprised when he was asked who gave him the wounds that he currently had; having tried to keep the blood from dripping through his bandages, giving a small laugh and rubbing the back of his head gently; "No one gave me these wounds, these were a result from my training, I guess having a healing factor kinda makes one reckless." He felt kind of embarrassed that someone was able to so readily notice the wounds that were self inflicted through his own stupidity. Then he began to feel the tree lady's fingers begin going over the open wounds that he was just going to wait on; and feels them healing closed by the medical ninjutsu that she was obviously using. Then he gets a sad look on his face when asked that question; "No, I havn't seen Onzen in around four years or so..."

Once all of the open and bleeding wounds were closed, he was able to more easily move his hands and could even feel his legs. Looks as if she was able to repair the ligaments as well from the swim, but he could still feel the fragmented bones within him, so she's not using a strong jutsu it would seem. He was surprised that anyone would help him, but he was able to feel better a bit quicker this time, which means he can train something else later. Looking back up at the tree lady, he tilts his head when it seems that she was trying to scare him... maybe?

"Thank you, you're a rather kind person. I'm glad." He smiles a bright smile behind his face mask, but honestly, he had no idea who this person was that helped him out, but he's not going to look it in the mouth... so to speak. His eyes would give her a quick scan; noticing that she seemed to be heavily experimented on it would seem... like they did in that damned place. Though something about her appeared to be a bit more... ancient, in design mostly. A stark contract as compared to Errmanno, he looked mostly normal from an outsiders standpoint; but someone that age doesn't just live alone with a well known clan... the dull crimson in his eyes kinda gives a small glow as he thinks about these two a bit more closely...

Entomology covers the identification of insects involved in the process of decomposition and their habits. To estimate the time of death, the player needs to make a check with a Difficult Check. The more they exceed this check by, the more accurate the placing of the time of death.

However if a user learns Lockpicking they normally get 1 die roll, however with this Trait they will gain 2 die rolls.

Errmanno's note taking wasn't done by a long shot but the conversation around him was becoming more interesting. Apparently the other homeless one had hurt his hand somehow. And the walking tree was healing him. He was half inclined to shrug at this but it was the face that they were part of his colony that made listen in. He never was the most friendliest of people though.

Errmanno glanced up from his note taking and observations for just a minute to look over the two. They were both having signs of being heavily experimented on. So these two were not unlike him though seem to developed very different mentalities. That was the negative parts of humanity was the severe individuality. But he guess it was a strength at times. Still nothing beat a hive mind of the natural world.

Training wounds didn't interest Errmanno for long, nor did the kindness of a battle tree. So he quickly ducked his head and observed the bugs some more. "Certain bugs can take care of that dead skin better for ease of healing." He mentioned this in a gruff voice, he was no healer but knew his bugs. Besides he did have somewhat of a heart at times, not often but sometimes. He had said this in such a low gruff told you would double take to make sure he spoke though his appearance didn't help with that.

Zeri smiled inwardly at the responses from the two people around him, the bug user Errmanno did seem to care about people in his own way; even if that way depended on insects that devour dead flesh. Then he gets a look on his face and looks around to find a way to tell time; "Oh crap, is that the time... I need to get going, or I'll be late to a previous appointment. Let's meet again sometime." Avoiding the ants on the ground, Zeri would begin running away at top speed... he didn't want to get a talking to for being late.
