▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬┤|ρ є r ѕ σ η α ℓ • ∂ α т α|├▬ Full Name:Ayame Noriko Hatake Nickname: Kazekage Age: 26 Birthdate: JAN31XXXX Gender: Female
Height: 5'8 Weight: 150lbs
Nindo: "Get up. Walk it off." Personality: Ayame is loyal and a fast learner. She is also caring, dependable, and responsible. She hates getting things wrong and will try and try again until she gets it right even though she gets frustrated. She would rather read and be outside than stay inside no matter the weather (unless it's like tornadoes and such she ain't stupid).
Village: Sunagakure Title: Kazekage Rank: S+ First Class: Tamer ____Ambush Tactics →When fighting alongside your pet, you are able to mitigate abilities that would put either of you in jeopardy, negating "overwhelming" effects, the increase in Jutsu potency caused by Korabo, and increased sense strength in Genjutsu. If a Genjutsu would affect both you and your pet simultaneously and in the same way, the cost required to break out of it is reduced by one rank. ____Eternal Partners → The Tamer bonds with only one animal and learns from it just as it learns from them. This single animal will have any Chakra and Stamina granted by the Tamer Class, gain half the Chakra and Stamina pool increases the Tamer gets through training, can manipulate any two elements, and can perform 3 activations a post (max of 2 offensive) when away from their Tamer.
Second Class: Ninjutsu ____Relentless → Once per battle, you can negate the cooldown of a technique up to your body rank. This limit increases by one at each rank up. Your Ninjutsu with a cooldown period overwhelm other Jutsu of the same rank.

Full Name:Daichi Nickname: Fluffy(He doesn't like it Ayame only uses it to aggravate him)
Age: 6 Birthdate: December 1 Gender: Male
Height: 11.2 feet at shoulder Length: Without tail 21ft tail 3.3ft Skull: 3ft long 2ft wide Weight: 720lbs
Chakra Pool: 1135 Stamina Pool: 1070 Chakra Element: Doton and Fuuton Chakra Color: It is white almost clear Chakra Materialization: It flickers like a white fire
Strengths: • Close Combat • Senses Weaknesses: • He's fairly large so being hidden • One of his eyes only sees in shadows Fears: • The Muffin Man • Losing Ayame Description He is a very large grey wolf with a white underbelly and has bandages wrapped around his two front shins. His left eye is only able to see shadows due to the damage done to it and is grey in color, his right eye is a very bright green. He also has multiple scars and a tear in his top lip to where you can actually see his teeth through it. His fur is exceedingly soft except around his scars and he doesn't mind being used as a pillow. He is a very large wolf not only in height but in muscling as well. Due to his link with a shinobi and his age he has grown to be as large as a horse.
Personality Calm, patient. Hates small cats to the point if he sees one he's gonna eat it unless there is an intervention on Ayame's part. Big cats are a different story since they are his size or larger he knows that these guys are not edible and prefers to play with them. Other wolves, especially males, he is hesitant of. He likes people and knows when to trust someone and when not to. He is all about first impressions, and is very expressive to the point where he almost acts human. He is a big fan of laughter and likes to make it happen so basically a class clown, unless you get him mad. He is serious when he needs to be and deadly when he needs to be(he ripped out a guys neck for pete's sake). He is an alpha male and knows exactly which people are allowed to tell him what to do. He is protective of Ayame and is generally by her side 24/7. He also will glomp first and ask questions later.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬┤|н ι ѕ т σ r у|├▬ Ayame was born and raised in the sand by her mother, Mayumi, a beautiful and vain woman. Perfectly blond hair and perfectly blue eyes was everything Ayame wasn't. Her eyes a mixture of blue and green and her hair a silvery grey, that reminded Mayumi of her impure blood. So why treat the child as her own, when she came from a night in which Mayumi had thrown all caution to the wind. Ayame grew from small hapless babe to rambunctious child. All throughout her seven years with her mother Ayame was treated with coldness and some slaps her and there. Mayumi would leave the child to her own designs Ayame learning how to cook and such on her own. When she was four Ayame didn't see her mother for over a year, little did she know Mayumi was meeting her father and providing Ayame with a sister. On the day of her seventh birthday Ayame woke to a very quiet house. She expected to at least hear a disgruntled happy birthday but got nothing. She went throughout the whole house trying to find her mother, but saw nor heard anything. Ayame went into her mother's room and saw that most of her things were gone, then it hit her. Her mother was gone and was not coming back. This made Ayame feel very much so unwanted and led to her attitude being not so good as a teenager. Two weeks after Mayumi left, Yuki, Ayame's aunt, took her in and raised her along with her own son. Ayame rebelled sneaking out on a nightly basis, or in general causing hate and discontent in the house. That is until Yuki gave her a very small grey wolf pup. Ayame at first was not too impressed with the very small pup, but he grew on her. She would spend all of her time with pup and after getting to know him decided to name him Daichi. Even if he was small he still carried power within him. One evening as they were playing in the outskirts of the village three other wolves caused Daichi to be critically injured. As they played three wolves took notice and went after the two of them. Daichi did his best to fend off the three, but his left eye was scraped leaving it partially blind, a piece of his lip was torn away, and he was bitten and scratched in various other places. Ayame and Daichi were saved by an ANBU just before the wolves decided to try and take the life of the small Hatake. She still doesn't know he was to this day. Ayame carried the beaten and bloody pup to her aunt, fearing for the life of her friend. Upon arriving her aunt told her what to do and made sure that Ayame was the one caring for Daichi. Ayame cared for Daichi as best she could knowing that everyday could be the last. Through many fevers, bloody rags, lots of bandages, and lullabies, Daichi made a recovery. Not fully intact, but a recovery nonetheless. Daichi eventually even grew out of smallness and grew much larger than any normal wolf, he's almost as big as a clydesdale now. Ayame kept to her studies and ended up being a bit older in the academy seeing as her aunt had not wanted her to leave the nest just yet, she still didn't think she was ready. But, soon after sneaking away and joining her aunt gave in. She then became a genin, and after a few small missions around the village she was sent out with James to retrieve the Suna nin that had participated in the chunnin exams. It was supposed to be easy. Get their, grab the nin and come back. But of course nothing is that simple in Suna. On their way back, almost right outside the village they were ambushed. Ayame killed two of the assailants, one with a technique she had learned from San just before leaving, and Daichi took out one of his own ripping into his throat. After finally making it to the village Ayame and Daichi, after a debriefing, were given the rank of jonin. Not long after that after some intense training from San and having a kunai drove into her leg, she was given the rank of ANBU. Not long after the ambush she, Daichi, James, and Knives were sent to the port village to remove the UHV. The ensuing battle was tough with Ayame and Daichi ending up taking out a TITAN and a lieutenant. Trying out for the first time her goddess of the hunt jutsu ended up being a very good idea, because it gave her enough power to deal with the amount of things flying towards them. An EVAC team was sent in in which Ayame saw a ninja that had a strange feel to him. Come to find out James had created him from her and his DNA. So now she has a son along with a cousin that has finally made it into the shinobi ranks. After the Saraswati Mission she was moved into the ranks of the VOID ninja. One of the highest honors for a Suna shinobi. She thought she had finally made it to the top until Lady Bast gave her the rank of Kazekage. She didn't know what to think at first, but has settled in well and likes being able to run the village and be that much closer to her pack.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬┤|н ι ѕ т σ r у|├▬ James has been wandering almost since the day he was born. He has fleeting memories of his father, but they are confused and blurry. Moving from place to place he scrapped out a living, and learned to scrap out those that tried to bully him. He cares for few people, but sees loyalty as the most important connection between people. You have to back each other up when you have no home. Fighting and taking care of your body is paramount for a lone kid on the street. And James’s size brings in every little man complex for miles out. His mind has warped to focus extensively on just those two things. And his eyes have grown sharp looking for a hidden assailant. James is caught in a middle ground, he knows enough to survive and could take any regular villager, but has much to learn from the real warriors. Arriving at the Village Hidden In the Sand, he hopes to find the home he has never had before, and learn how to defend it.
Since his arrival at Sunagakure James has grown to the rank of Jounin and Become the Senior Battle medic of Sunagakure. James has learned to trust more, and enjoys a solid mentorship with Sanshi Satetsu. James looks forward to ever increasing his prowess as both a healer and a killer. Time skip: So much has occurred , Suna has been struck by Tsunami, transported through time and space, and James himself has stepped and battled through the Void
James Has risen in rank slightly, taking over the position of Director of Defense in Sanshi Satetsu and Bastet Miyamoto's V.O.I.D special operations division. James has enjoyed his new position, though the village has avoided attack since his installation.
James is near to Konin rank, and holds power over his technical Jounin status because of the VOID classification, He sees to have adopted "DOC" Nara as a sort off unlikely apprentice considering Docs nonviolent nature.
James officially made Konin Rank, and is currently revamping his skill-set to a higher and much more powerful and versatile level. He also looks forward to continue teaching the next generation. many battles stood ahead of James through his year as a Konin, but everything fell before his Icy fist.
James revitalized himself at the Second Battle of Rouran, assisting in the battle to regain the city, and rising from the ashes of a collapsed building to help seal away the Ichibi. Soon afterwards James was sent to investigate the city of Gimangakure, and when leading a group of Genin home from the chuninn exams, James had the strongest battle of his life against Tenyashi, a powerful taijutsu fighter, and his 6 colleagues in an assassination attempt against James and the others.

Tends to look down on or take it a point to challenge those who are full of themselves. Very hard to open up about his true thoughts or feelings, often hides behind a wall of a rocky exterior, keeping most of his memories sealed away from the public eye. He often overestimates as well as underestimates himself due to the lack of what he knows about his own power.

You can choose to what extent sensory abilities below your body rank reveal information about you, including adjusting your apparent Chakra and Stamina pool sizes between what is normal for your surroundings and your maximum amount, falsifying elements, faking being under the effects of Genjutsu, and so on. You can use an Augment slot to relearn a sensory technique, allowing you to use it to preemptively prevent your detection by that technique. → Second Class: Sensor ____Powerhouse: Pick strength, speed, reflexes, or fortitude: that stat increases slightly on each rank up. These increases do not count against your DR limit. You can convert Formless Slots into passive DR increases at a rate of 1 slot per slight increase.

Doton --E-Rank • Daisan no Me [ The Third Eye ] Rank: E Description: Making a single hand sign, the user will use sand to create an eye. Closing one eye allows the user to instead see through the created eye. Requires a source of sand. The eye can be made to move slowly for no extra cost but must stay in the same subforum as the user. This technique can be listed under sensory Jutsu for those with the Sensor class, provided they have access to Doton. Created eye does not have any special properties of the user’s normal eye, such as Doujutsu.
• Doton Bunshin no Jutsu [ Earth Clone Skill ] Rank: E Description: After using the appropriate hand signs, the user creates one single clone out of the ground. Its fortitude is incredible, and it's very powerful, but lacks speed. Two hits will destroy the clone. Clone acts as D-Rank in Fortitude and Strength, but movement techniques it uses take up an extra activation.
• Ishi Yoroi no Tamaki [ Stone Bracers ] Rank: X Description: By taking dirt and rubbing it on their arms or legs, after performing the necessary hand seals, a shinobi is able to create very durable defensive bracers that add extra protection when using the arms to block. The chakra that is infused in them help to soften the blows of any physical attacks. These are very useful for Taijutsu users or to defend against a physical onslaught. These bracers act as light armor without any stamina penalties, and can take three hits at or above their rank before they are destroyed. Can be used at any rank up to the user’s body rank.
• Tsuchi Gunjikoudou no Jutsu [ Earth Military Movement Technique ] Rank: E Description: The user simply has to dive into the ground for this jutsu to activate, allowing them to swim around at their leisure for as long as the jutsu is sustained. Movements made via Formless styles can carry the user through natural earth as though they were one rank lower while this technique is active. Consumes a Ninjutsu slot if any augments to it are known.
• Tsuchi Tou Tou [ Swift Earth ] Rank: X Description: The user places their hands on the ground and pushes it away with Chakra, creating a rapidly moving conveyor belt of earth. Can be used at any rank up to the user’s body rank. Each rank increases the range by three [3] meters along both its length and width. •
--D-Rank • Gou no Doro [ Mud Moat ] Rank: X Description: By clapping, the user converts the ground immediately surrounding them into a deep, murky moat full of mud. The moat is 2 meters deep and 1 meter per rank in radius. Due to the nature of the moat, water walking cannot be performed on it. A small patch of solid ground remains in the middle for the user to stand on. Lasts for 4 posts.
• Rikujou Douyou no Jutsu [ Ground Shaking Technique ] Rank: D Description: After slapping the ground, the user sends chakra into it to cause a localized tremor at a chosen point within line of sight. The magnitude of shaking is rather minor though, only capable of unbalancing the opponent. Decreases a successfully affected target’s reflexes moderately for one post.
• Shinjuu Zanshu no Jutsu [ Double Suicide Decapitation Technique ] Rank: X Description: After forming a single hand sign, the user will travel through the ground to appear below their target and pull them into the ground. Once in the ground their target is thus immobilized; however, struggling free is fairly easy, as the earth around them has been loosened in order to fit hips and shoulders in the ground. Only successfully affects targets up to this technique’s rank.
• Doton: Shunshin no Jutsu [ Earth Release: Instant Movement Technique ] Rank: D :: Augment Base Technique: Shunshin [ Body Flicker ]. Description: Nearly exactly like the Maruton version of Shunshin, this one allows unimpeded access through all forms of non-chakra based rock, up to the normal allowed distance. Rock that is in the way will be spewed out to the available area around it.
• Ishi Yoroi no Muneate [ Stone Breast Plate ] Rank: X :: Augment Base Technique: Ishi Yoroi no Tamaki [ Stone Bracers ]. Description: By charging earth on their chest and stomach with Chakra, the user can harden it into a stone breastplate for extra protection. The breastplate is held intact through the chakra molded into it. This technique moderately increases fortitude against hits taken on the torso, acts as light armor without any stamina penalties, and can take three hits at or above its rank before it is destroyed. •
--C-Rank • Arijigoku no Jutsu [ Ant-Lion Technique ] Rank: X Description: The user forms a short string of hand seals and causes a conical crater under a target to form. The sides of the crater rush downward quickly and the bottom will slowly drag anything caught under. Minimum C-Rank for a roughly human sized pit, increasing half a meter in width and depth per rank. Speed is reduced by one rank once caught in the technique and all descriptive increases to speed are negated. It takes three full posts before the victim is completely buried.
• Bakuyaku Iwa Kawarimi [ Explosive Stone Body Replacement ] Rank: C Description: The user forms a single hand sign and swaps their body with a large stone or even a boulder. There is a rather dangerous difference though: the replacement explodes when struck.
• Dochuu Eigyo [ Underground Fish Projection ] Rank: C Description: Allows the ninja to hide underground with a single hand sign. Attacks can be launched without breaking this technique, making it a good choice for times when there is a ready distraction. Lasts as long as it’s sustained.
• Doryuusou [ Earthen Rising Spears ] Rank: X Description: After forming several hand seals, the user will send Chakra into nearby earth and cause it to raise up and pierce an opponent. Spikes only cover an area approximately one meter across.
• Doryuu Taiga [ Mud River ] Rank: C Description: In this common stone jutsu, the user forms several hand seals and converts part of the ground that they and their opponent are standing on into a raging avalanche of mud and earth. Opponents will quickly lose their standing and start sliding wherever the mud river will take them. A simple hand sign is all it takes to start the jutsu. For an upkeep of half the original cost, the technique can be continued past the first post. Anyone within the area of effect loses any descriptive increases to speed and reflex.
• Jihibiki Kansei no Jutsu [ Earth Tremor Sense Technique ] Rank: C Description: By touching the ground, the user can sense tremors or vibrations in the ground. These tremors indicate movement, which the user can sense, although they don't necessarily know who or what exactly is causing the tremors. The range is one kilometer and can be learned as a sensory technique by those of the Sensor class, provided they have access to Doton.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬┤|н ι ѕ т σ r у|├▬ Derych was a mercenary most of his life, doing dirty jobs for anyone that would pay. Living far away from the nations governed by the shinobi. Work soon brought him to the land of sand. The environment was less then accomidating but he soon learned to adapt, and even find someone to love. Quickly within the year he decided to retire from being a mercenary and changing to a more stable line of work. Wanting to just mine and enjoy his time with his wife and peace. Time passed to where a fight broke out within the small town he lived and his wife becoming a casulty of it. Derychs tracking abilities had lead him back to Sunagakure, where the one responsible had done the slaying themselves. Wrecked with guilt and anger he quickly took back up his previous profession but discovered a rather large group known as the UHV who also seemed to have grudges against villages. Signing up and lending his skills he quickly became an asset with his tracking ability, gaining privlage to their equipment as well as his own unit thye had set out to recon the village of Suna.
Things did not go over too well because they were discovered by none other then the Kazekage herself. Her and a couple others made quick work of Derychs entire unit while taking him into custody and for interigation. Through mind jutsu the Kage quickly learned of Derychs motivations and intentions. She wanted to set the record straight that never was a member of her village sent to perform any mission near or inside of his town. He obviously rebelled against the thought but the more she told him the more things made sense. It wasn't long before Ayame herself released him with the promise that he would never attack the village again, so long as he discovered the truth.

Height: 5’1” Weight: 140 lbs
Nindo: "Physical might amounts to nothing when paired with cowardice." Personality: To her enemies, she is a ball of rage and death, to her friends, she is a sarcastic ray of tough love and flowers, who can also rain down death. She has nothing to prove to anyone, so she does not go out of her way to try and make a name for herself, in fact she hates the idea of fame and popularity, preferring to remain mostly unknown and do her job. Her job is not glorious, it is not glamourous, and as such, she does not think that she needs more than the base recognition (She will not say no to getting paid or any promotions she is given) for her work. Like the feline she is partnered with, she is a touch finicky and can sometimes be a little bi-polar in her moods. Despite all this, she cares deeply, and will give her blood, sweat and tears, or even her life, for her village if the situation requires it. Loyal to a fault, if you give her a reason to trust you, or to believe you are loyal to Suna and her Kage, you have a friend for life in Kaori.
Village: Sunagakure Title: Jounin/Oinin Rank: A Rank First Class: Tamer ____ Ambush Tactics → When fighting alongside your pet, you are able to mitigate abilities that would put either of you in jeopardy, negating "overwhelming" effects, the increase in Jutsu potency caused by Korabo, and increased sense strength in Genjutsu.

This single animal will have any Chakra and Stamina granted by the Tamer Class, gain half the Chakra and Stamina pool increases the Tamer gets through training, can manipulate any two elements, and can perform 3 activations a post (max of 2 offensive) when away from their Tamer.

Her spine is so flexible that she is able to twist in such a way that, no matter how she was thrown, she can and will (the obvious exception here being death or unconsciousness) always land on her feet. This also gives her a boost in her jumping abilities, and in her evasion, though only marginal in those areas. •
Personal Attributes: • Would a Rose Smell as Sweet? {PA}: Kaori, being a Raigyo clanswoman, produces a natural, subtle, scent (usually overlooked since it is a natural scent), like that of a beautiful flower, that extends in all directions around her in a 5 yard (15 feet) radius. She is so aware of her own scent, and so used to it, that if anything foreign were to enter it, she would be able to tell the difference in scent around her, and could tell that something/someone was there, giving her a tactical edge when under attack, but costing her complete stealth. (Other Tamers can pick up on this scent and detect her, even if she produces no sound) • Shinigami: Kaori gains a Buki slot • A Summoner's Support: When summoning through an animal contract, any C-rank or higher summoning grade will summon an additional contracted animal, so long as they are 2 or more lower ranks from the first. This is performed for free and without consuming another activation. (-1 rank with prior additions, un/stackable) (Reopen Reward)

The body glove is made from similar material to the silent soles from takumi, but technology has taken it to a whole new level. By incorporating it as a whole body accessory, this body glove is capable of dampening not only sounds the body makes, but also sounds that come within arm’s reach of the body glove, making the user all the more quiet and stealthy for good and nefarious purposes while at the same time looking like any other ninja mesh attire to also keep the user looking fashionable as well.
• Second Skin (Armor)
A light armor design that takes a fine tuned and crafty hand to produce, the Second skin is one of the lightest weight armors that can be produced. Binding a layer of Kevlar style material over a layer of saturated fiber weave creates an armor like fabric designed to ward off any bladed weapon or projectile. Unfortunately, due to the flexibility of said armor, the actual force of said strike can still cause physical harm. So even if the sword does not chop your arm off, it could break a variety of bones in said limb. Due to the complexity of the armored fabric, it cannot be altered or upgraded in anyway less it ruins the integrity of the fabric. Is custom fit to the user.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬┤|н ι ѕ т σ r у|├▬ Kaori grew up in a loving family for three, her mother, father, and herself as an only child. At the age of four her parents took her on a trip to Konohagakure, where she wandered off and got lost. While lost in the forest she came across a dying mother tiger, attacked by poachers, and her newborn cub. Her parents, after hours of frantic searching, found her holding the cub, cuddled up to the dead mother, providing warmth. Ever since that day Kaori and the tiger cub, named Nova, have been inseparable. At the age of seven her mother gave her a self contained terrarium that contained the flowers that their family used for their jutsu. Ever since she was given the decades old terrarium she has taken it with her everywhere. Her parents were later killed in action while on a dangerous Anbu mission. She raised herself, and Nova, from that point on.
Kaori and Nova were not Genin long. Their first mission was with Aika, Theodin, and two other Suna shinobi as backup in Saraswati. This one mission gave Kaori and Nova enough experience to be promoted to Chunin. After that, they trained hard, and were then sent on another mission. This time to Konoha, to see why the village had shut down its borders. During this mission, like in the previous, they felt useless, despite actually taking out several grunts, low-level though they were. Once they had returned to Suna with their fellow shinobi, they were once again promoted, very quickly. When Kaori went to the academy to train, she was greeted with a surprise. All the years she had thought that Nova was all she had, she'd been wrong. It turned out that she had a little brother. And he was now in Suna, a ninja just like her, and just like their father before them.
Shortly after learning this, Kaori and Nova were sent on another mission, the life of a ninja for Suna was not one of leisure after all. During this mission Kaori was severely injured, and only Nova's quick thinking ensured her survival, but Kaori still ended up in a coma. She just recently woke up, in the middle of the battle with the Seven Tailed Demon Choumei. Last Kaori knew, her little brother Kohaku had been the chosen Jinchuriki for Choumei, so for the Seven Tails to be loose, she now knew that her only family was dead. Kaori prioritized the safety of the village and what was left of its people, but she knew she would have an adverse reaction to the loss of her little brother. She took her grief and turned it into motivation for work. She asked Lady Ayame for permission to reopen her mother's former shop in Sunagakure, a botany and pharmaceutical shop that she decided to add tailoring to. She wanted to keep busy, why not make money doing so? Shortly after she began to attempt to bring the old shop back up to snuff, the Kazekage called Kaori back to full duty, tasking her with watching over a male five years older than Kaori herself, one who had been a UHV operative. Ayame had killed his entire unit and taken him prisoner for interrogation. After learning that he had willingly placed himself into a life debt to the Kazekage, Kaori was to watch over him during a set period of time and report any and all findings to Ayame.
It did not take long for Kaori to learn how honor bound the man was, Derych Kain never once acted out against Suna, of Suna’s people. He even joined Kaori on any and all training and didn’t back down from Nova when Nova would try and push him around, which made Nova adore the man; though she would never admit it to anyone but Kaori herself. Kaori, of course, reported everything to Ayame, leaving no detail out, and as Derych’s probation came to an end, she found that she was still drawn to train with him, and Nova still enjoyed attempting to antagonize the man.
