ASSISTANT

E x p e r i e n c e:

It is true I have never been a previous member of staff but have been told that I should be an assistant by the new people I help.

The last application i posted long ago in '07 is probably somewhere in the cobwebs as I was incompetent when I first came to this site. But I have greatly improved since i signed up in 2007 as the 2007 example of roleplaying with the infamous adero when he started roleplaying, which can be compared to the higher quality posts In my later posts.

I also did take a large gap from 2007 till july where I was held by real life issues and an un-interest in both roleplay and anime.


sidenote: I am currently the co-founder in making a star wars roleplay with Naitome, aswell as the founder of my own customs board.

note₁: Aoi is my current dominant account, that I have been using recently. I have been helping quite frequently on one main account, even though he has only 50 visible posts.

note₂: Due to Othello's ban in 2007 many of my posts are archived for Lan's character as multiple threads were in the Ex-raikage's threads

note₃: The reason I wish to be an assistant is because I genuinely enjoy helping people and wish to make the site a better place. And proof of this can be seen in the tutorial I made to help people with ubb coding within the spam board _{:UBBC tutorial:}

Personality:

# Bully-
Raiden seems to be a bit of a bully when it comes down to things. He will push people around and pick on people and make fun of them over silly and stupid things just to get a good laugh out of things.

# Jealous-
Raiden is a jealous person. He will easily get pissed off that someone has something that he doesn't. This is where the bully part comes in. He will bully someone into giving him someone that they have that he wants. He usually doesn't like to harm people, just scare them, although in the shinobi world, that is a hard feat.

# Softy-
Raiden, doesn't really like killing people, although he has to at times. He is sympathetic and caring for those he loves and mildly cares for to say the least. He has love for his village and cares for it greatly, and even though he is jealous and a bully to his brother Raikou, is would never harm him enough to seriously injure him, or really, anyone for that matter, unless life or death called for it.

# Destructive-
Raiden is a man who enjoys thoroughly destroying things. He enjoys making explosions with whatever he needs to do such, and destroy things. However, he as said before, doesn't really like hurting people. He enjoys blowing up objects and watching the fires flare up and even the cracking noise it makes, its serene to raiden. The explosion is glorious and magical to the Debiru.

Appearance:

Raiden stand at 6'1" and weighs about 200 lbs. He wears a long pair of baggy black pants extending from the waist down to his ankles like normal. They are held up by a light blue belt, leather. He wears a pair of light blue ninja sneakers, rubber soled, covering his entire feet. He wears his weapons pouch on his right hip, attached to his belt. On his torso, he wears a black long sleeve under shirt, nothing really special about it. Over that, he wears a light blue button up shirt, short sleeved, buttons almost always open. The Hoshigake clan symbol in white resides on the back of the shirt. On his pants, the Li clan symbol resides on the left pant leg, in white. He has spikey blonde hair, and dark blue eyes like that of a shark.

Over the Button up shirt, he wears a long, black and blue robe, with a hood. It has baby blue stripes going through the whole robe. The hood, is mostly aways up. The most noticeable feature of Raiden, is the blue skin, of course. He has gills under his neck, and his teeth are razor sharp, and he has multiple rows of them, like a shark. He has a clean shave about him, and carries a series of scrolls for painting in his back pocket of his pants, above his butt. Raiden wears a 3' long Katana sword upon his back, diagonally across from the right shoulder to the left.

Ninjutsu Techniques:

Same no Gishiki (Ritual of the Shark)
Rank: “C” Rank
Effects: Changes the user’s appearance to give them blue skin, gill-like appendages, and access to the ritual’s techniques.
Special: Preparing the Ritual- First, the user must obtain the body of a full-grown shark. The body must be fresh, not more than 3 days IC old. The type of the shark gained will determine the manner in which the user’s facial and bodily features will change. Then, the user must obtain 50 shark incisors, which cannot come from the shark to be used in the ritual. After that, the user must purchase a large bottle of ink from a shop. The user then pricks their finger and adds their blood to the ink. With that done, the user has completed all the preparations for the ritual and must then find a Same Saishi (Shark Priest) to perform the ritual.
Description: Once all the preparations for the ritual have been completed, the user will be asked to sit down by the Same Saishi. The man will then use the ink that has been prepared for him and draw a circle around the person that is ten meters in diameter. The kanji for the four seasons is written at the quarter marks for each circle, with summer at the top (behind the user), spring to the right, winter at the bottom (in front of the user), and autumn on the left. These directions are symbolic, as it represents a turning away from Fire (Summer) and embracing the Water (Winter). From there, the user’s shark is placed directly in front of where they sit, and the user will place the shark incisors in a circle around him. The user is then asked to meditate for one turn, getting lost into a trance. The Same Saishi then performs the handseals of “Rat, Rabbit, Dog, Monkey, Tiger, Snake, Dragon”. Upon the completion of the Dragon seal, the ink circle around the user will burst forth in radiant blue light, and the user will be thrown into an illusionary world.

In this world, they will enter an ocean battleground, where the opponent will be themselves. The difference will be that the person will be fighting themselves as they will become when the ritual is complete, thus they have the shark-like appearance. This self is capable of using any technique that the user has plus any technique from the Clan’s arsenal. This other self is roleplayed by either Lash or a staff member designated by Head Staff if he is not around. Any deathblows landed by the user will simply cause the Shark Self to regenerate. This fight will continue until the person has gained 90 TP. At that point, the user will fall down, exhausted, and a merging of the two aspects will occur. While this is happening within the mind, outside the body of the person and the shark begin to glow a bright blue. When the merging is over, the user will awaken to find that they have gained the qualities of the shark, which has since disappeared. They have less teeth, but are larger and sharper, much more pointed. Their skin tone takes on a blueish tint, and their body expands to gain more muscle.
Drawback: Once the Ritual is gained, the user cannot use or learn techniques from the Fire Release (Katon no Jutsu), Lightning Release (Raiton no Jutsu), the Wind Release (Fuuton no Jutsu) or the Ice Release (Hyouton no Jutsu). This ritual’s strength is such that it takes up all three of the user’s Ritual capabilities. If the user is gaining the ritual after character creation, then it costs 90 TP no matter what rank the user is. This is an increase of price than a regular “C” Rank and meant to be this way, as it represents the filling up of all three ritual spots. Counts as three of the user's starting techniques if taken at character creation.
Placement Requirements: Must have the Water Release (Suiton no Jutsu). Must complete all the required ritual steps. Must be a member of the Hoshigake Clan.
Cost: The cost of the ritual is free if the user gathers all the materials necessary for the ritual. Specific portions of the ritual must be bought, but the cost of those items is listed above and is not included in this Cost section.

Effect: Dramatically increases the user’s chakra pool.
Special: A passive ability that is always active. Must have had the Same no Gishiki put upon the body.

Description: One of the two Same no Isei, or Powers of the Shark, the Same no Seirei (Spirit of the Shark) allows the user to obtain a dramatically larger chakra pool than they would normally have. The amount that the chakra pool increases is dependent upon the user’s specialties and their Difficulty Class.

History:

There was born a boy under the Debiru name and family. His name was Raiden. He was born into the Village of Cloud where he would be raised by his parents to become a suitable shinobi. In this, his parents, were travelers and left him to be raised within the village of Cloud under the Raikage until they had finished their adventures and returned home. Raiden, went through the academy here at this time, but something happened with his parents that he id not expect. In their travels, they ran into a Hyuuga woman, who was running from the enslavement of the Hidden Leaf village and ran into his parents. Knowing she would be killed, she entrusted her son to his parents.

They would live a peacful Non shinobi life as Raiden was raised within Cloud and went through the academy, becoming battle hardened. His parents keep Raikou's Hyuuga background as a secret to all they encountered for his protection, as Raikou protected his parents while Raiden could not. it was awhile before his family would return home with Raikou, making him go through the academy and become a Cloud shinobi as penace for living within the village. No one had seen a Hyuuga in cloud before, but that did not prevent Raikou from blowing away the competition and ranking up to the top of the class.

Although Raiden was proud of his adopted brother, he couldn't help but be angry at the spotlight that had been robbed from him by this outsider to his village. Raikou took quick interests in other clans and their abilities and techniques, starting with the Inuzuka. Raiden, wasn't one for Animals or dogs for that matter, and thus could not follow him in this trek. This however did not stop Raiden from joining and training with other Clans in their abilities and techniques. The Li Clan, was first on his list. He was good at making and drawing simple doodles and stuff, but with the Clans knowledge in drawing and even Ink, Raiden could expand beyond that an go further, using his doodles for attacks and to defend himself and perhaps later learn to use Ink. He did not stay long, and his training was limited as he only learned how to draw fast, and make his drawings come to life.

Next on his list was the Akimichi. They could expand their bodies and make parts of their bodies huge in size and increase both power and reach of their limbs. Raiden would not spend much time here either, but he had spent enough time to learn how to make his limbs multi sized and increase their size and reach. This would be useful for alot of things on the spot. Finally on his list was the Nara. These clans man were intelligent Shadow benders. They had learned to bend their shadow to their will and use it to capture people with them. With that technique, they would manipulate their shadows to capture people and make them mimic their movements and do as they do. This was great for capturing and interrogating people on the field of battle, or pretty much doing whatever. After much clan searching, he has plans to speak to and join in with other clans at later dates, but for now he is content with what he knows.

He hasn't talked to Raikou in many years, but he has been meaning to go see him and check on his progress on the matter. He has never gotten the chance to see his brother, as he is now the Raikage and tends to many village related things. He knows his brother went to the chuunin exams and came out almost on top, but he hasn't seen him since. Waiting for him to return from the exams, Raiden spent much time within the bars and taverns within Kumo, training and fighting random assorted people, becoming and unleashing the inner brawler within him. Rumor has it his brother has returned, as they need to catch up, thats for sure.

A wise man once said that everything that has a beginning has an end, unfortunately that is indeed true. After a year of time from Raiden returning to Kumo, he had gotten in touch with his brother, and they had grown even closer. Raiden had gotten away with some things because of his brother and it was nice, but he would give it all back to have Raikou back. He looked up to him. He wanted to be like him. Hell, Raiden went around the village bragging about being his body guard, something that was, well, rather stupid of himself to do, but non the less the love was indeed there, Raiden simply never knew how to show it. Raikou was gone know, he would never share another laugh, never share another ice pop, never share another mission, never share another story, nothing, ever. Raiden was forced to move on in his new chapter of life without Raikou, without his brother. His brother was sick and Raiden was a temp Kage for two days once, and that really what was set him and gave him a new found respect for Raikou. Were they blood? Hell no. But what does it matter? They grew up together, fought together and trained together and ruled, together. They however, did not die together. Raiden , decided it was best to stay, not to leave again. He did a few missions, but he didn't train as much as he used to. He visited all the clans he had joined and made sure to keep a good report with them at all times. He did not get to go to the latest Chuunin exams, but that was ok with him. Recently, he has simply just been enjoying life. The year indeed eventful however, including a time wrap rift which the entire cloud village had to fight off some demon thing. The year was a wild one, filled with all the ups and down you could possibly think of. Regardless, as hard as it may be, Raiden, is moving on............[/spoiler]

What, if anything, is wrong with this Bio?

[ｒａａｈｎ]

Thankyou very much for the post Koori, I appreciate it. Now I will work through this bio at the basic information first.

• Now the first issue I would like to adress is the fact that the Bio is showing a different height and weight to the one described within the appearance. This should be the same, also if you would like to be in the akimichi clan you must fit between at least the minimum height to weight ratio of Height in Inches x2.5lbs, your first height and weight are out by 2lbs by my calculations, yet the second weight and height described in the appearance fits inside the minimum weight category.
  
  
• in your secondary weapons, your slots count upto 17 slots, you can only have 15 secondary slots, you need to make your slots equal to 15.
  
  
• In your secondary weapons section again, you stated you have 2 large ink bottles You may only start off with the smallest of a weapon.
  
  
• Your primary weapon is stated that you have a B rank Sketch Book, this is not possible as you must start off with the lowest rank/smallest weapon. Also you cannot start with a primary weapon larger than C, except for Sonic Blasters, Sound Wave Amplifier and the Flute, also this is a secondary weapon and should therefor be placed within the secondary weapon slots, unless it is Dai Weaponry, a secondary weapon increased in size to form a primary weapon.
  
  
• In the appearance I discovered that you posted "carries a series of scrolls", I do not see these overviewed anywhere on the bio.
  
  
• Again in the appearance section I found "wears a 3' long Katana sword upon his back" this is not overviewed either, if you would like to add this overview to your primary weapon slot, instead of just describing it in your appearance.
  
  
• In the beginning of your post you mention being village of snow, yet in your history you mention going back to cloud village, but never mention going to snow.
  
  
• In your history again, you missed out the two paragraphs required to explain how exactly it is that you achieved your hoshigake ritual
  
  
• Moving onto your specialists, Hoshigake requires you to be either tai master or a ninjutsu taijutsu specialist combo.
  
  
• I would also like say that you have done the you have done the display of specialists and non specialists in an unusual way, but that does not mean it is not understandable.
  
  
• Hoshigake cannot use Genjutsu, so you must remove the figment perception from your specialists.
  
  
• Although you explained learning clan techniques in your history you did not post starting off with any jutsus other than Li and hoshigake.
  
  
• You did not bold or underline the rank you know upto.
  
  
• Also the Li technique you did post is not able to be used as the ritual takes up 3 starting jutsu slots and the required hoshigake take up the remaining two starting technique slots, plus you do not have the jutsu, Gahou Tenrai, posted that is required.
  
  
• You do not have the required technique, Gahou Tenrai, posted to start with the Li clan.
  
  
• I am sorry but you cannot go into The Warrior Monk's Way aswell as Brawler.
  
  
• You seem to have too many freebies, freebies are perceptions, releases and fighting styles. With no tech slots left open due to the hoshigake ritual and required techniques, you must re-arrange your freebies to only have 3.
  
  
• You cannot start off as a member of the ANBU so it is preferred that you put (future) beside the wolf ANBU miscellaneous slot.
  

S_ide N_otes

• Also in your history, you mention that his brother was once kage, and go on to speak about waiting for him to finish his fights in the chuunin exams, this is oddly confusing, also you never mention Raiden helping Raikou as the kage when was sick, after he has moved on from his brother and helps his brother by being the temporary kage for 2 days, seems a bit brutal to move on from your brother before he dies. Maybe a lack of concentration occured here, also there are some grammatical errors here.
  
  
• I do not think that hoshigake would be logically be compatible due to the fact the body also changes to take on a slimmer shape. and The Hoshigake's body is usually more bulky than the average, but from the appearance of tough muscle. does not sound like it would logicaly go with the They are known as the Chubby Clan of Konoha. Chubby is what they are of the chubby clan (akimichi), seems like a condradiction.
  
  
• You do not need to take herbalism on until you go into the techniques of two regions.
  
  
• also to get this bio accepted you would require permission from lash or higher staff for hoshigake clan, for Li clan you would need at least one acceptance from a mod.
