In modern popular culture, these are called "throwing stars" or "ninja stars". They often have a hole in the center and possess a fairly thin blade sharpened only at the tip. The holes derive from their source in items that had holes - old coins, washers, and nail-removing tools. This proved convenient for the shuriken user, as well, as the weapons could be strung on a string or dowel in the belt for transport, and the hole also had aerodynamic and weighting effects that aided the flight of the blade after it was thrown. There is a wide variety of forms of hira-shuriken and they are now usually identified by the number of points the blades possess.

Character Depth

Personality:

• "Mercenary" (mer·ce·nar·y/ˈmərsəˌnerē/)
  Adjective: (of a person or their behavior) Primarily concerned with making money at the expense of ethics.
  
  
• "Business as usual" - Even if it was a short life, it was not one void of bad sights and influences. It's the rule of thumb amongst her family, that all things must be seen through to the end, jobs and tasks completed regardless of personal feelings or thoughts. Ai sees to it, that all her given tasks and jobs are completed sucesfully, but more often then not it leaves a very bitter taste in her mouth afterward.
  
  
• "When in doubt, punch it." - Doesn't work? Try fixing it. Still doesn't work? Punch it. Now it works. Patience was never Ai's strong suite - she's quick to blow a fuse, especially if booze is in question.
  
  
• "Rough around the edges" - Sometimes loud, most of the time rather insultive, quite insensitive and for the majority a queen bitch. Despite her more or less 'tsundere' approach to people, given enough time she tends to adopt the 'big sister' role and gets rather protective around people (or animals) that've grown on her.
  
  
• "Stubborn. Mule type of stubborn." - Just try and tell her she can't go through that wall. Try it.
  As far as stubborn creatures go, Ai's a great competition for the title there; she refuses to give up or give in, and if her mind's set on something she'll have it.
  
  
• "Sharpest tool in the shed." - As much as she'd like to pride on it, brawn wasn't the only thing that kept her alive so far; Savage she may be, but Ai's not a fool. She's a quick thinker and a good one that takes her time analyzing what goes on around her.
  She knows when to call it quits, and when to go for the kill.
  
  
• "Pack Member" - Ai can work well in a group surprisingly. She can asses and adapt to each group and team to best utilize their and her own abilities in coordinated team work. It's easier, faster and less irritating then to do everything alone.
  
  
• "Ethics? That edible?" - If you dig deep enough you might find them.
  

Appearance:

Image is not for taking. Thank you.

SPOILER: Click to show

Tall and brutish, Ai is an imposing amazon typed figure with well honed muscles and a tanned hide adorned with cuts and scars of various origins.
Her frame is broad shouldered, shallow hipped, with thick bones, wide fists and broad flat feet. Not the most feminine of features but then again, she never was one to care.

Ai's head is crowned in thick, black dreadlocks that are pulled up in a high tail. Her face seems to possess some degree of graceful features, with high set cheekbones, long, sweeping brows and what would be considered sharp yet elegant features; But a square, strong jaw, thick neck and wrinkles from the constant frown and damaged, tanned skin on her face add more to her intimidating persona then help it.
Coupled with her facial features are a pair of bright yellow eyes with ever small pupils that harbor a constant predatory look to them.

Ai prefers loose, mobile clothing, thin and breathable - she is often seen in a high-neck, sleeveless tank top and underneath a fishnet blouse.
Her arms are covered in a thin bandage, leaving her knuckles and sharp tipped, thick elbow bare. Around the waist is a thick cloth with the blazoned metal of the Hidden Rock Village that serves as a belt, supporting the butt bag and a holster for her Katara Knife. Sewn into that is a long 'loincloth' with some simple, almost tribal patterns on it.

She wears very loose and baggy pants with a 'hole' on each side. Bandages around each knee tie the ends of the said pants into place. Fishnets are laced around the shins and for footwear it's a pair of simple, light two-toed sandals.

Background:


Everything has something to do with money. Groceries, booze, your tampons...you pay for all of it. It also comes from somewhere. Folk selling it live off it too.

There's other things money can buy; Like people, organs, weapons. It's all business like any other...'cept this business might stab someone, or might complain a bit louder then your average cabbage. Does a cabbage complain? Food for thought.

Ai Kagome, born to Choku Kagome and his wife Aoi. The Kagome family follow a long line of hunters, mercenaries, bounty hunters and generally what people would consider low-lives; thieves, thugs, robbers. Now, it's not to say they're out to cause evil, mayhem and havoc...they just found themselves comfortable in a rather profitable business that not always agrees with the rest of the world's norms of wanted jobs and 'good, quality' people. But as times change so do clans; Sure, the Kagome spawn a few mercenaries here and there so often, but most have taken to the thrilling challenge of Pit Fights and Gladiatorial combat - safe to say, they ain't bad at it.

Third child, with two older brothers, Ai's the typical 'hang with the guys, get into fights, see who can spit the farthest' girl - following in the steps of her predecessors, father and brothers came only naturally.

Broken bones, tared muscles and ligaments, bruises, heavy bleeding; that was an every day occurrence...scrapped knees that are still scared and healing after so many years, a nose broken one to many times to count; she stopped counting how many teeth she'd use to pick up from the sidewalk. Ai wasn't the only though; the amount of damage inflicted on her, she returned twice fold to her brothers, and the kids in turn returned the favour to dad, their mentor. It was a happy cycle of 'kick-them-assess' that never seems to end still. But it's a set-in-stone fact, Kagome family members know each other by heart, and they stick close to one another.

Touching bit of family information, however, nobody said that meant a good influence; Ai learned how to flip a dagger at the age of five, earned her Katara blade at the age of ten, chugged her first bottle of sake a few months after that, and lit her first cigarette a year later. Like back then, she still does it but never alone. Ever-faithful companions in mischief are her two older brothers.
She'll never admit it, but considering that as of late she's not able to see them as often as one would like, Ai' misses them and takes any given opportunity to get back in touch with them.

Ai's a recent Academy Graduate. There were no brilliant displays of power, not a remarkable prodigy, or passing with flying colours. Maybe she would if she wasn't busy sleeping through classes, running off from them and drinking. Maybe her family would've said something sooner if she didn't run off every time to come back home and nag about learning something useful.
It was her idea to go for a ninja; she saw the prospect of power and money in it, along with a steady safe income. And being the family's first ninja ain't a bad deal.

She learned Muay Thay with her old man, but even with her stone carved body there's only so much a child can take in the end. Muay Thay would be taken one step at a time, while Brawling and street competitions were always welcome.

What'll happen now is still to be seen. She passed the Academy thanks to some sense being beaten into her skull by the old man and a frying pan; training is underway, but she want's to see how amusing this chosen path of life will be.

Techniques

Kentoushi - Gladiator

SPOILER: Click to show

• Sekondo Nen (Second Sense)
  Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"
  Skill: TaiJutsu
  Effect: The brawler depending on the rank of the technique the user is capable of reacting through subconscious mind against attacks against the user in different manners such as being flanked, and from behind. This technique makes the brawler incapable of being surprise attacked.
  Special: ---
  Drawback: The user may only learn this technique by the class that they are. This means that in order to learn the "C" Rank version they must be "C" Class, if they wish to learn the "B" Rank version they must be "B" Class.
  Description: A technique where the subconscious mind, where the subconscious body reacts just as they are attacked while flanked or while their back is turn. The body reacts in such a way to where they are capable of withstanding so much. This technique makes it where the Brawler is incapable of being surprised attacked, a sudden second sense kicks in as their body screams out to them yelling at them telling them to move, duck, dodge or anything else within that manner. If an opponent comes to a Brawler at a bar, and attacks with a sword, or a club, the brawler gains the urge to dodge to the left, or to the right, where they are capable of reacting before the action is completed. This works on whenever they are being attacked. This technique however has a major flaw. The user is capable of dodging only whenever the opponent's class is equal or lower to that of the rank of the technique they know. This means that a "D" Class user that knows this technique can not use this against an opponent that is "C" Class or higher.
  Limit: Must be a Brawler

Muay Thai - The Art of Fighting

SPOILER: Click to show

• Jod Muay
  Rank: "E" Rank
  Type: TaiJutsu
  Effect: The basic posture of the Muay Thai Style. The basic posture needed in order to move on into the more advanced techniques of the Muay Thai style. The Jod Muay is the basic step of defending but Muay is the martial art that uses the eight limbs, two hands, two shins, two knees, and two elbows to fight the opponent.
  Special: ---
  Drawback: ---
  Description: Picture The leading foot should be pointed straight, while the other is positioned to angle at ninety degrees whilst raising the heel of the back foot. Both the knees and the body are straight, designed to create posture. Arch the back backwards slightly. This allows power to be generated for the legs. The chin must remain in the same posture as the shoulders; in essence, this means that the user must lower their chin to be level with the shoulders, while raising the shoulders and the arms for guarding purposes. The next step is to grasp the hands, keeping them raised to face level, crafting a guard with the forearms to allow defending against oncoming attacks. The eyes are straight forward, locking onto the opponent's abdomen for full view of oncoming strikes against the upper or lower body.
  Limit: Must learn from a Muay Thai Master.
  

• Prapai Lom Singkorn (Straight Punch)
  Rank: "D" Rank, "D" Rank Variations
  Skill: TaiJutsu
  Effect: A powerful, straight punch thrown with the rear hand.
  Special: ---
  Drawback: ---
  Description: Picture The Boxer Throws the straight right punch and twists the body by that punch, stepping with the right foot forward. The Boxer must consider about the distance between him and the opponent. The target is the chin or the heart of the opponent. This trick is used for attack, defense, or escape. If used for attack use both left and right alternately. The Straight Punch is one of the heaviest punches in all of Muay Thai. It can be used in attack and defense. If used properly it can stop your opponent right in his tracks. However if used at the wrong moment it may put the boxer in a difficult situation because if the punch misses the target the boxer will have wasted a lot of energy and will be left exposed to a counter attack. The strength of this punch comes from moving the foot forward and from the transfer of force from the leg to the moving body and finally to the fist. To further enhance the power in his punch the boxer must twist his hips, waist, and shoulder while punching. The result is a very powerful blow that draws upon the boxer's weight, the muscles of the feet, legs, hips, waist, and shoulders, and the proper technique in releasing the punch for its forcefulness.
  
  Variation: Full Body Straight Punch - This straight punch uses the force of gravity thrown in the perpendicular plane. The boxer throws himself forward and the momentum of his falling body is added to the punch making it very powerful. To practice this punch, start by standing at ease with guards up. Then move either foot forward and use the rear leg to push the body forward, similar to falling forward towards the target. The momentum from this movement transferred to the arm and fist, giving the punch its characteristic power. When connecting against the opponent's torso area will stun the opponent for 2 movements.
  Variation: Over the Shoulder Straight Punch - This punch is released by a sudden jerking and twisting of the body. It derives its power solely from the muscles and is less powerful than the other versions of the straight punch. It is best used in close fights and emergencies. When the punch is thrown with the left hand, the right hand is automatically jerked backwards. As a result, the muscles of the shoulder, back, stomach, waist, and the two legs will work together transferring the weight from one side of the body to the other. This twist of the body prepares one for an over the shoulder punch with the right hand. This twist should be practiced so that one is comfortable throwing the over the shoulder punch using the twist of the body and the corresponding transfer of body weight as the source of the punch's power. This technique hits as a "B" Rank technique instead of the basic "C" Rank.
  
  
  To Protect: Brushes it with the fist or the arm which in the front, if the opponent boxer is a right handed fighter, the user will use the left fist or the left arm to swipe the punch out to the left side. (If user knows The Cross/The Straight in Boxing, or Cross-Body Punch in Krav Maga the user does not have to learn the base Technique.)
  Limit: Must learn from a Muay Thai Master.
  

Drunken Fist

• Paiken (Cup Fist)
  Rank: E
  Skill: Taijutsu
  Effect: (In description)
  Special: --
  Drawback: --
  Description: This stance is supposed to mimic the user holding a cup. This puts the character’s hand in a good position for blocking and striking, keeping the hands and arms of the user ready for a wide variety of techniques, and makes the shoulders ready for explosive movements. The wrist is in a position where it can easily strike or block, and the fingers are curled in with the index finger hooked out, which helps in trapping an opponent's arms while blocking. The arms can be used for short or long range techniques, as well as the elbows, combined with various feints and strikes.
  Limit: Must be Drunk to do.

• Doton Soushi no Jutsu (Rock Creation Technique)
  Rank: "D" "C" "B" "A" "S"
  Skill: NinJutsu
  Effect: A technique where the user takes the time to formulate, or create Rock in order to use other types of techniques for great usages.
  Special: "Handseals"
  Drawback: Must be learned more and more in order to be capable of performing better, and capable of producing more Rock like formations for other types of techniques. Cannot be used on Sand
  Description: What occurs is that the user takes the time to push down into the ground their own chakra. As the user does this the user takes the earth like materials found within the ground which is the components of soil as they begin to formulate and harden them all around in order to create harden rock like materials. The user may slam their hands against the ground in order to use this technique or just by pushing their chakra down to the ground. A user can gain the capability of grabbing onto the very ground and molding a piece of earth into a hardened like rock. The more the user learns and the higher the Difficulty class the user becomes the more they are capable of mastering this type of technique. When first learned the user is only capable of formulating rock into the size of their hand. When the user learns the "C" Rank, version this type increases to five meters in radius. Each time learned after that, the distance increases by ten feet giving a total distance of thirty-five meters in a radius distance. For each Difficulty class the User is the larger number this distance becomes. Each Difficulty class after C The distance increases by Ten meters. This means that if a user becomes S Rank in Difficulty Class and learns the S Rank Version of this technique the user is capable of formulating Rock within a Seventy-Five meters Radius.

hello welcome to the site. Im here o help you with your character submission.

just wanted to let you know that you had a broken list bracket above "pack member" in your personality. While you do have roughly three paragraphs for appearance it seems a little short could you please add some more to that please?


I'm sorry to say but you have too many techniques. How submissions is set up is you get five starter techniques plus three freebies which include ninjutsu releases, genjutsu perceptions and taijutsu stances. The taijutsu which you have listed as "[Free]" are not freebies as they arent stances, sorry.


You do have doton: earth release which as a ninjutsu release can count as a freebie should you wish. When it concerns Damēji Heri you have the B rank listed but im sorry again to say we cant start out with jutsu higher than C rank. You will have to start out with the lowest form of the jutsu but if you want you can use two starter moves to have a D and C rank of the same jutsu. This correlates to Sekondo Nen as you cant have the C rank without the D rank version.


I would like to ask you if you can re-choose you jutsu list. When it comes to taijutsu stances they will state whether they are stances.Please be sure to choose the lowest rank of multi rank jutsu but you can stack up using your starter techniques should you wish to.

[Stygia]

Thanks for the swift reply. I did the edits, part appearance. Personally, I don't want to do it anymore as it may change very quickly and very suddenly. At least the more obvious features as hair and clothing. I'd rather not waste too much time on it.

Edited the Techniques post, hopefully it's satisfactory this time.

Cheers.

[Tekato Shimura]

as a specialist you choose two areas to specialize in and two areas to non specialize in. right now you only have one of each: Tai spec and nin non-spec.

[N A T S U M I]

You can have one more specialist and non-specialist.

Please state how many Shuriken you have as you are able to have a total of fifteen slots worth of secondary weaponry. If you just want the Shuriken please put x225 next to the shuriken so we know how much you have.

Wow did you draw those photos?!

One: Don't need to have the academy techniques in your bio. As a Ninja, you automatically get those.

Two: Please do not delete ranks off jutsu. Simply bold the rank you know. And it has to be the first rank given in multi-ranked techniques. So please replace Second Sense with the correct overview.

Three: You can have a total of five starter techniques and three freebies. Starter techniques must be C ranked or below.

If you have any questions regarding anything, please don't hesitate to PM me.

[Stygia]

You call it, I fix it. Counted the techniques, bolded ranks, recounted them, made it all nice and tidy.
Yes, the pictures are mine! I'm a senior at the Academy of Contemporary Art.

[Mist]

I have repeated this in the last post but you must have missed this

You only have 5 techniques. You are allowed to have 5 starter techniques and three freebies which means you can have 8


Also natsumi(staff in dark blue) the last mod is wrong. You may not be required to have academy techniques but you are completely free to have academy techniques in your character bio. It makes character bios look nice and organized and caring that you would include them. I included my academy techniques in mine. So you are allowed to have them here so If you would like you are welcome to add them back in here. The last mod was just saying it isnt a requirement to add them.


for Sekondo Nen (Second Sense) you cannot have the C rank until you have D rank. But like I said before you can use one of your five starter techniques for the D rank and another for the C rank in which if you do this both D and C will need to be bolded. I do apologize but you cant have a higher ranked jutsu if you have learned the lower ranks so you can have both D and C rrank or just the D rank version.


it is not stated that you have used a freebie but Jod Muay is a stance so this can count as a freebie should you wish it to be which will allow you an extra technique. If you do this you will have 2 open freebies and one new starter tech unless you decided to change things drastically which is your choice.


In regards to this next to your styles you have included freebies listed such as first, second stance. If you mean this by the stances in the style thread you will have to place them here and write next to the technique that it is indeed a freebie. The only technique you have now that qualifies for a freebie is Jod Muay.


for the technique Spanning Swipe you have the C rank effect bolded. This technique is actually reliant on the level of the user instead of the usual level of the jutsu. Everybody starts out as a fresh new D rank character so for this technique your character will have the D rank effect but the technique is C rank in strength.


That should do it. I hope this was helpful and best of luck to you

[Stygia]

SPOILER: Click to show

Right. Let's try this again.

With Water Release and Earth Release, coupled with Jod Muay it makes three freebies (Fighting Stances, Releases or Perceptions)

Second Sense (D and C rank) take up two of the five allowed techniques.
Spanning Swipe (D rank, not C rank as based on user level) takes up one, adding up to three of the allowed five.

Jak Narai (D rank) takes up one of the allowed five techniques, adding up to four.
Double Suicide Decapitation, dramatic as it sounds, is a D rank Earth Style ninjutsu that takes up one of the allowed five, rounding it up to the total of five tehniques.

One more time...
Earth Release 1/3
Water Release 2/3
Jod Muay 3/3

Second Sense 2/5
Spanning Swipe 3/5
Jak Narai 4/5
Double Suicide Decapitation 5/5.

Did I miss anything? ...again.

[Edits]

Tidied up first and second posts.
Recounted techniques, re-read guides, re-read PM's, re-read posts, about to punch screen.
Added back Academy Techniques for easier access.
Bolded out ranks.

Did the old switcheroo. Second sense works based on PC rank and class; Turned it back down to D rank, and added C rank to Spanning Swipe. Points still the same.

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

Also, props on the college, that's sweet.

[JiMmIyZ]

Are you saying you have 5 slots of shuriken or just 5 shuriken? Feeling as though you mean the latter but hey just double checking.

I count that you've used 4 techniques and two freebies. Do you want the others?

Also you've written up in bloodlimit: 'None yet'. You either have one or you don't. You can't get one later. On another character yes but not this one. Reword that to no please.

...are you sure about that? Or you just messing with me? Doton, Suiton, Jod Muay as three freebies, Second Sense, Spanning Swipe, Jak Narai, Double Suicide Decapitation five techniques.

What did I miss this time?

[N A T S U M I]

• It's Iwagakure (Hidden Stone) not Hidden Rock.
  
  
• You can have one more Non-Specialist. Beast Master is a Misc, not a specialist. So you will most likely have Ninjutsu|Taijutsu Specialist, Clan|Genjutsu Non-Specialist.
  
  
• You have 13 Slots worth of weaponry. You can have another two slots worth if you desire.
  
  
• I am extremely impressed with your drawings. Well drawn! I seriously wish I could draw like that
  
  
• You are missing the limit of Spanning Swipe.
  
  
• You have four starter techniques, you may have one more if you desire. Jod Muay and the release are your freebies. The other four technique minus the academy one(s) are your starter techniques.
  
  
• You also have two freebies, you may have one more if you desire.

Thanks for the compliments angel, although they were a few second scribbles just to wrap my mind around the appearance.

Edited Spanning Swipe, the last sentance of the 'Effect:' evaded me somehow.

Looks good.
