Gates of Takigakure no Sato

[The Roar of the Falls]

/Enter from Taki

With her Melody arm, compass, map, 12 soldier pills, anti-flash lens and flute on her person, Isabella set out on a journey of which had been her longest to date. With one last long glance back at her home she nodded and set of, tugging her robe and back tight and heading down the path, out of the waterfall and into the land before her.

/Exit to Land

[Battle Moderator 2]

Hold, Taki. I am once again forced to seek guidance. In the meantime, read the PM I sent you with guidance on how you should begin your post, as you are having a difficult time.

SPOILER: Click to show

Sleight of Hand
Rank: "E"
Skill: Skill
Effect: User's training allows the user to pick pockets, draw hidden weapons, and take a variety of actions without being noticed.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: The practitioner of Sleight of hand can perform minor feats of apparent illusion by deftly hiding small items in their hands or sleeves and distracting observers. On a successful check, the character can hide or acquire a small object (smaller than their hand, unless they use both hands in operation in which case the object must merely be able to fit temporarily in their hands). No observers will see quite how the user does it. Look in Task Skills thread found in the Skills and Traits Index for more information. If user has 25 or more Ranks in Acting user gains a Synergy Bonus +10 to Sleight of Hand. Each time learned user gets 1 die roll to increase the skill.
Limit: ---

Disguise
Rank: "E"
Skill: Skill
Effect: A person versed in the art of disguise can alter his appearance to be unrecognizable- even to his own mother.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: A user may choose to appear as the opposite sex, a larger person or possibly even a smaller person. There are, of course, common sense limits to this skill. A balding, fat, middle-aged male innkeeper is going to have one hell of a time disguising himself as a voluptuous female prostitute. In general, the following limitations apply: Height: +/- 25% of actual height; Weight: +/- 50% of actual weight; Sex: Male or Female; Hair: Any Color; Eyes: Any Color; Complexion: Any Color; Facial Features: Highly mutable
Obviously, the ability to speak the language of the person you impersonate is not granted. The character may need to purchase clothes or materials depending on his disguise. Look in Task Skills thread found in the Skills and Traits Index for more information. If user has 25 or more Ranks in Acting user gains a Synergy Bonus +10 to Disguise (to act in character). Each time learned user gets 1 die roll to increase the skill.
Limit: ---


Acting
Rank: "E"
Skill: Skill
Effect: Acting enables a character to skillfully portray various roles.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Acting is most often used as a form of entertainment, though it can also be useful in aiding a disguise or pulling a scam. A skilled actor knows how to research their role in order to provide a realistic portrayal to include mannerisms, speech patterns, dialect or jargon. The Acting skill also confers a cumulative 5% bonus (per level above Unskilled) to Disguise skill check rolls. The list below gives examples of Mastery and what the character can do.
Unskilled Give a stereotyped performance.
Novice Pretend to be a person whose background is not too dissimilar from the character’s own.
Average Play a role convincing to an audience not overly familiar with the part he’s portraying.
Advanced By observing and interacting with a member of a class or profession, he can pass himself off as said.
Expert Can independently ‘invent’ a role such as a lord, member of a cult, wealthy merchant, etc., and can dress and act the part with such skill that he can pass as that person.
Master Can successfully imitate any person well enough to fool anyone not intimately familiar with the person (barring visual familiarity).

If user has 25 or more Ranks in Acting user gains a Synergy Bonus +10 to Disguise (to act in character), Interpret/Perform Mime, Intimidate, and Sleight of Hand. Each time learned user gets 1 die roll to increase the skill.
Limit: ---

Forgery
Rank: "D"
Skill: Skill
Effect: User's skilled in writing and allows the user to create and detect forgeries.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Forgery requires writing materials appropriate to the document being forged, enough light or sufficient visual acuity to see the details of what you’re writing, wax for seals (if appropriate), and some time. To forge a document on which the handwriting is not specific to a person (military orders, a government decree, a business ledger, or the like), you need only to have seen a similar document before. To forge a signature, you need an autograph of that person to copy. To forge a longer document written in the hand of some particular person, a large sample of that person’s handwriting is needed. Forgery works like any artisan Skill without going into the Artisan Profession. Look in Task Skills thread found in the Skills and Traits Index for more information. If user has 25 or more Ranks in Artistic Ability user gains a Synergy Bonus +10 to Forgery if Artistry is Writing/Painting. Each time learned user gets 5 die roll to increase the skill.

The handle may be of different lengths, the longest being roughly the size no more than 2 feet, and the shortest being no more than a foot.

Before shaving


After shaving




A complete shaved head, no facial beard, brown cloth monk style robe from the torso down with an attached hoodie at the back of it. At the center of the robe, was the same material used for the robe, except it was yellow and a medium size cross that from the collar bone to the stomach area. In his left hand was his forged document stating that he is allowed to enter the village on a certain day, and leave on a certain day.

He also took his travel to the same attire four monks that were also heading to the gates. Joining their group in unison and blending in. He now was headed to the security checkpoint, where he was ready to make his escape. The name on the forged document was Kenzo Tetsu.

Okay. Enough of this, Tamashi Taki, you are apparently unable to comprehend the fact that I told you to wait, that meant to forgo posting in any manner, until I had received guidance. I am not to be ignored. This post is void. However, this is of no consequence in the least. If I could give you a warning, I would. In the future, you would do well to heed these words. Do not ignore the words of those in official capacity, while I am unbiased and cannot render an impure judgment, others can, and may do just that. Remain in compliance of all directives to continue having a smooth Roleplay experience. I would also suggest you learn the rules of what you can and cannot do for future encounters, as this will probably not be the last and typing up 5 new posts is not a pleasant experience. Quit whining too. It's unbecoming.

After receiving guidance on this matter, I must void this entire interaction. Wolf, you are in violation of Rule 10 on several counts, it would seem, and you are not within this thread at all, possibly not even within this country. The interaction between Wolf and the current Takikage is void as well, along with this particular mission. It has never occurred, because Wolf was never there.

JUDGMENT: I RULE THAT THIS ENTIRE ENCOUNTER IS NULL AND VOID! WOLF, YOU ARE NO WHERE NEAR THIS GATE, NOR DID YOU ACCEPT THIS MISSION TO ASSASSINATE! TAKIKAGE, YOU NEVER GAVE THIS MISSION, YOUR INVOLVEMENT OF WOLF IS VOID! GATHER IC INFORMATION NEXT TIME IF YOU WISH TO STRIKE DOWN ANOTHER IN YOUR VILLAGE, DO NOT USE OOC INFORMATION! TAKI, THIS GATE THREAD IS VOID AND YOU HAVE NEVER ENTERED THIS GATE, RETURN TO WHERE YOU WERE PREVIOUSLY (INSIDE THE VILLAGE) AND MOVE FROM THERE!

[VOID! END JUDGMENT! REQUEST COMPLETED!]

With a whistling tone Axel would stride through the gates clad in black while showing his headband to the guards on his way through.

With a lively rhythm in her step Riko made her way towards the gate. She had her normal outfit with her buttbag.Sling in tow she patiently went through the security check point. Finally out she ran from the gates before running out in to the land before her to the nearest shop to stock up on the latest weaponry.

[Exit]

Axel would whistle low as he headed toward the gate showing his headband o the watchmen and seeing if they had anything for him. If they did he would gather the items and head back out into the lands of his home.

[Spectre of the Falls(Kuroki)]

(Enter)

It was the dead of night when a light mist rolled in from the many water sources as the night grew colder. A pale light approached the gates while a grunting could be heard behind it. Slowly an image of the over sixfoot tall man with the sleeveless Trench Coat appeared. As he became more defined appearing out of mist in a dark foggy night. Even the moon was hiding behind clouds as he approached. The fire lights arround the area dimmed at his presence. This was the Spectre of Taki coming back, it could only be him.

He wore a bandolier crossed over his chest and in it contained a bundle of wire, a bundle of fine silk rope, six yo-yo's, a lighter, a package of cigars, a walkie talkie, a eight inch flash light, ten glass cutters, twenty pieces of flint, thirty bo shuriken, and thirty Hira shuriken. He also wore a darken leg holster with a four of kunai and a pair of knives. Hidden in the extra pockets of his coat was sixteen caltrops and an extra pair of knives. His face was recessed in the hood of his coat, but what could be seen was a weird three quarters mask that covered all but a corner of his face. In that corner he had an un-smoked cigar hanging. His hands were covered in dark reinforced fingerless gloves, they could almost be called gauntlets with the studded knuckles. Each knuckle had a metal skull for a stud. You couldn't see most of his equipment hidden in his pouches.

He passed through the gates dragging several rough looking sacks that stank of death. He was grunting as he dragged and pulled sacks enough to hold bodies for about two dozen corpses. When an AnBu would stop him he would show the mission slip and also let the AnBu know that they are the remains of ghouls for study at the labatories. And was he was passed on through he would head into the village heading to the Undead drop off point becaus ehe was sure the tower didn't what the stink in there.

(Enter and Exit)

It was the eerie predawn where the light is soft and the mists are thick. It was now that the Spectre of the Falls approached the gates to leave again. He was on mission to rescue some hostages from the coast and return them to the Feudal lord. Spectre left out of the village prepared to haunt those foolish enough to trespass against Taki no Kuni. It was a foolish person who gets Spectre on their trail. And with no Roar of the falls holding him back this might be a massacre. It was hard to see him in the wane misty light of dawn. He literally appeared to the AnBu who even they treated his sudden appearance as a bad omen. They knew of his reputation of curses and bad luck. Only one so far dared to even work with the cursed ghost of the village. He flashed his mission pass and then continued out. His skeletal fingers showing through his gloves, which indicated he was now even more on the other side of the veil than once believed.

He was his usual pale self in dark clothes. He wore a bandolier crossed over his chest and in it contained a bundle of wire, a bundle of fine silk rope, six yo-yo's, a lighter, a package of cigars, a walkie talkie, a eight inch flash light, ten glass cutters, twenty pieces of flint, thirty bo shuriken, and thirty Hira shuriken. He also wore a darken leg holster with a four of kunai and a pair of knives. Hidden in the extra pockets of his coat was sixteen caltrops and an extra pair of knives.

His hands were covered in dark reinforced fingerless gloves, they could almost be called gauntlets with the studded knuckles. Each knuckle had a metal skull for a stud. You couldn't see most of his equipment hidden in his pouches.

(Enter and Exit towards village)

Again the strange Spectre of the village has returned with gruesome trophies. Carrying a two sacks this time. The first rattled the tell tale sound of bones. The second sack had caked on dried blood. Only the morbid would want to look in there. It was the time of the setting sun and he came in with the shadows. In his pocket he carried a note from the Feudal Lord of Taki no Kuni thanking him for his daughter's safe return.

The first show of Axel's presence was the glowing cherry from the ciggerette in Axel's lips as he drew a long drag before releasing the smoke. As he passed the threshold of the gates his eyes would glow red looking at the gatekeeper, a trait that Axel only had from his ritual and with that he would continue on into the village without breaking his stride.

/exit, village

[Futabatei Ginko]

The kunoichi had returned from the lands of Kusa and found the gates of her no-Sato. With cool ease, she walked the length of the waterfall laden expanse, and emerged inside the embrace of Takigakure...

entrance into village

[Spectre of the Falls(Kuroki)]

Spectre exited through the gates like proper out into the greater world again. This time he had two objectives first and more immediate training with a new partner for the upcoming trials. And secondly to make way to the Land of Waves for the Chunnin Exams. For once he had not waited or created a spooky scene to waltz through with. He had to much on his mind as is.

(Enter and Exit out of the village)

[Futabatei Ginko]

The kunoichi leapt over a high rock with feline grace and landed about a meter behind her male teammate. She eyed him curiously as the roaring waters of the falls enclosed on them. Ginko had changed her orche flak jacket for a black variant, yet still possessed slots filled with hira-shuriken, kunai and explosive tags. A pair of goggles fixed on her brow kept silver strands of her from blocking her visage; and perhaps her most vital piece of equipment had been the metal gas mask apparatus fixed onto her face.

Once the exit of the Takigakure gates came into view, she and Wraithfire disappeared into the countryside. Hopefully he could fend for himself on this mission... her aid at the Chuunin Examination depended on it.

While whistling a low tune, Axel strolled through the gate with his usual stride. Glancing at each of the guards he woukd nod as he headed into the wilderness.

/exit

[[Sniper In the Falls]]

[Enter]

Riko  skipped thorugh the forest enjoying the beautiful scenery. Reaching the gates she went through all the nessicary precudures to get inside safely. It was good to be back in the village, she had to work on some things and get some new boom booms.


[Exit to Village]

[Futabatei Ginko]

From the south, Ginko reappeared; her once brown, earth-laden body returned to its porcelain hue as she stepped out of the ground onto the grasslands of Taki kuni. The woman, dressed in her smooth blacks and ochre flak jacket, headed towards the shinobi gates of the Hidden Waterfall with not much thought put into it. She had many other things rummaging around in her mind, but this path here had been walked on instinct. Once she managed to reach her destination, she presented her Takigakure hitai-ate to the guards, and spoke her codename, to verify her as a bona fide kunoichi of the Waterfall state.

Once she was allowed inside of her village, she dashed towards the Ruomu for a little r&r.
