Kaede Asuka

[Kaede Asuka]

Basic Character Information:
Name: Kaede Asuka.
Age: 21.
Gender: Female.
Clan: -

Looks: Kaede is a tall, slim young woman with long, jet black hair. She often keeps her hair tied back from her face, for practical reasons. She has soft, white skin but tends to wear clothes that cover her completely. She usually wears a pale brown all-purpose shirt and ash-grey trousers. On her right leg, she has a white bandage wrapped around the outside of her trouser leg. Strapped on top of that, towards the back of her thigh is a black pouch to carry items. She wears traditional shinobi sandals - black and ankle high. She is very open-minded and as such keeps a very passive expression on her face most of the time. She can often be seen with hand-on-hip, thinking hard.



Personality: Kaede is friendly and loyal, always protecting those she cares about. She is very trusting, though not to the point of naivety. She finds meeting new people a little awkward, and so tends to stick in small, tight-knit groups of close friends. She keeps a very open-mind when approaching all situations and always works hard at the task in hand. In battle, she is no slouch. She will try to work out a strategy quickly, then use it to end the fight as soon as she can. Should this fail, she is more than willing to fight to the bitter end.

History and RP Sample
History: Kaede was born in Kumogakure 21 years ago, to proud parents Annu and Makku Asuka. She led a fairly normal childhood, progressing through her initial education with ease. She made few friends, but those she did have were very dear to her and she spent as much time with them as was possible. She is not without experience of hardship, however. Having lost many family members and two unborn siblings. She has an older brother who looked after her when her parents were busy.

When she was of age, she entered into the shinobi academy in Kumogakure . Her mother did not entirely approve, but was far happier when she received Kaede's first report card - high marks in all areas. She dedicated herself to the teachings of the academy, working harder than perhaps any other pupil in her class. Eventually, after her long years spent there, she was ready to graduate. Her partners for the graduation exam were not as hard-working as Kaede. However, desperate to pass first time, she made an extra effort to secure their group's progression.

Soon after she graduated, however, her grandfather (with whom she had been very close), joined the list of deceased relatives. Kaede, in her grief, missed out on the first opportunity to join a four-man team. Instead, she stayed at home with her parents, rarely leaving the house. In her time in near-solitude, she found solace in art. More specifically, in origami. Her mother had taught her basic paper-folding - animals, lanterns etc. She soon began training using these techniques - venting her frustration and learning the art simultaneously. The next chance she got to be a part of a team, she was ready to join.

She spent eighteen months as a Genin in her team, completing basic missions and learning from her sensei. She was put forward for the Chuunin exams aged 15. She reached the final but lost in a hard-fought battle. Her efforts impressed the elders and she was promoted to Chuunin.

At first, she found the new rank to be, after all the work, a little disappointing - nothing really changed. When her first mission as a Chuunin was given to her, however, she perked up. They were far more challenging - something Kaede relished. In no hurry to become a Jounin just yet, she spent three and a half years as a Chuunin, thoroughly enjoying the position. At 19, she decided it was time to step up and fully commit to the welfare of the village. She suggested to her peers that she was ready to become a Jounin. It wasn't long before she was promoted.

She hadn't been a Jounin very long before the attacks began. Mercenaries launched nightly attacks upon Kumogakure. The Raikage at the time issued notices that more soldiers were needed. Ever-ready to do right by her village, Kaede agreed to join the ANBU corps. She was assessed for her ability and consequently assigned to the Neko (Stealth & Assassination) branch. A year later, with the increase in numbers of soldiers, Kumogakure forces drove the mercenaries away.

Not wanting to stay as an ANBU member longer than was necessary, Kaede stepped down from her position. With six months to go before the next wave of students graduated the academy, Kaede signed up to act as sensei for a three-man Genin team. She is now awaiting news from the academy shinobi as to when and who she will be assigned.

Rp Sample: (This is an exert from another site I have posted on. On the site, Kurogakure has been overrun by Akatsuki.)

The sight of Kurogakure still gave Kaede the shivers. It was so...imposing, and filled with dread. She shook herself, knowing she couldn't afford to let it get to her on this mission. She had a plan, but it wasn't foolproof. Taking off her Konoha headband, she stowed it in a secure pouch, from which then she withdrew a second Konoha headband and a kunai. She held the kunai in her right hand, channeling chakra into it. She made a slash across the Konoha symbol, then tied it around her head. Taking a deep breath, she strode towards the gate.

The gates were still guarded, but now, by criminals. She kept her cool, and gestured to her scratched headband as the guards stopped her. She was ushered through by one of the guards. She relaxed a little - security clearly wasn't that tight. As she passed the gate, she started spinning the kunai on her finger. Her mission was to collect information on the plans the Akatsuki had, and her plan was to go 'undercover', so to speak. Looking 'at ease' in Kurogakure was part of the facade. If she was found out, it wouldn't go down well.

Name: Kami Shuriken (Paper Shuriken)
Rank: D
Elements: None
Description: Like all of her paper techniques, Kaede doesn't have to form hand seals because she can actually control paper. Using her high origami skills, Kaede will form her paper into bird-like shapes. After throwing these at the target, they can fly through the air and cut through the victim.
-------------------------------------------------------
Name: Shikigami no Mai (Paper Style Dancing)
Rank: C
Elements: None
Description: This jutsu allows Kaede to convert her body into pieces of paper for her to use to attack her opponent. The body part used will immediately be replaced by more paper. For example, her right hand would disperse into lots of small pieces of paper. Immediately, however, identical pieces would flow from her wrist and re-form into a hand, eventually gaining back colour, skin, nerve, flesh and bone. She cannot, however, use this to heal from a wound inflicted by anyone else.
-------------------------------------------------------
Name: Origami Mane no Jutsu: Buki (Paper Folding Imitation Technique: Weapon)
Rank: C

Name: Kai
Rank: B
Elements: None
Description: Forming a single hand seal, the user is capable of avoiding the effects of or escaping from a Genjutsu. The more powerful the Genjutsu, the more difficult it is to avoid or escape from.
-------------------------------------------------------
Name: Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Technique)
Rank: B
Elements: None
Description: Similar to the Clone Technique, this jutsu creates clones of the user. Unlike the Clone Technique, these clones are actual copies, not illusions. The user's chakra is evenly distributed among every clone, giving each clone an equal fraction of the user's overall power. The clones are capable of performing jutsu on their own and can even bleed, but will usually disperse after one or two solid blows. Unlike other clones, the Byakugan can’t detect them because the clones have the exact same amount of chakra and aren't made from any other substance, making them indistinguishable from the actual person. Any experience the clones gain during their existence is transferred to the user once they are dispersed.
-------------------------------------------------------
Name: Ketatamashii Rendan (Piercing Barrage)
Rank: B
Elements: None
Description: Like all of her paper techniques, Kaede doesn't have to form hand seals because she can actually control paper. She will have the paper form various straight swords, without the hilt or guard, just the blade. Once she has a large number of them floating around, she will have them come crashing down on the enemy - ready to penetrate every inch of their body.
-------------------------------------------------------
Name: Ninpo: Kyuusho no Kami Tejinashi (Ninja Art: Secret of the Paper Magician)
Rank: B
Elements: None
Description: Like all of her paper techniques, Kaede doesn't have to form hand seals because she can actually control paper. To perform this space-time jutsu, extends her arms as an attack approaches. Her hands and arms disperse into a cloud of paper pieces. When the attack hits the cloud, if it is a weapon or a chakra-based attack of equal or lower rank to this, the paper crumples in on the attack, disappearing with it. The chakra drain of this attack is equal to the attack it is defending against.
-------------------------------------------------------
Name: Origami Mane no Jutsu: Yajuu (Paper Folding Imitation Technique: Beast)
Rank: B
Elements: None
Description: Like all of her paper techniques, Kaede doesn't have to form hand seals because she can actually control paper. Using her high origami skills, Kaede will create a number of small of origami animals. She will then greatly increase their size and to give them life. Her creations will obey her will. They can ignore puncture or cut wounds but the loss of critical limbs will cause them to disappear. Kaede can create: tigers, wolves, mice, falcons and snakes. Their size can be increased up to twice their real-life counterparts’ sizes.
-------------------------------------------------------
Name: Jigen Kekkai (Dimension Seal)
Rank: A
Elements: None
Description: This ninjutsu summons a barrier that blocks the use of any other summons. To start, the user forms ten hand seals, creating a seal on the ground that is the kanji for 'forbid'. At this point, the barrier is erected. It covers a half-mile in all directions, and only has a one-time chakra cost. It does not continuously drain the user's chakra. The barrier is intangible and invisible, and lasts for duration of six posts. Anyone in the barrier that tries to summon a animal, boss summon, object, or anything else will waste all the chakra that is normally used for the technique. The chakra cost for the barrier is surprisingly low for an A-rank; the whole jutsu only costs the equivalent of using Kuchiyose no Jutsu.
-------------------------------------------------------
Name: Kami Kyuu (Paper Coffin)
Rank: A
Elements: None
Description: Like all of her paper techniques, Kaede doesn't have to form hand seals because she can actually control paper. Attacking the target(s) with multiple pieces of paper, Kaede will cover them. Each piece of paper will attach to another, forming a sort of suit. Using hand movements, Kaede can use the suit to control the target(s)’s physical behaviour (i.e. movement).
-------------------------------------------------------
Name: Kami Kyuu (Paper Funeral)
Rank: A
Elements: None
Description: Like all of her paper techniques, Kaede doesn't have to form hand seals because she can actually control paper. Once a target is trapped by her Kami Kyuu, Kaede can use the paper to constrict and crush the target. It is possible for her to kill the target in this manner, though it would use a considerable amount of chakra and much thicker layers of paper in the initial Kami Kyuu.
-------------------------------------------------------
Name: Kami Fuuin (Paper Sealing)
Rank: S
Elements: None
Description: Like all of her paper techniques, Kaede doesn't have to form hand seals because she can actually control paper. Using any number of pieces of paper, she can use her Jidou Honsho technique to make seals appear on each piece by thought alone. These ‘sealed’ pieces of paper can be directed at great speed towards multiple targets. They wrap around or stick onto the target(s). Once attached, Kaede can activate them by speaking the kanji for ‘lock’ – ‘joumae’. Each piece of paper, once activated, temporarily seals one-tenth of the target’s chakra until either twenty minutes pass or the user moves at least one-thousand metres away (i.e. leaves the vicinity). If ten or more are stuck to one target, all of their chakra is temporarily sealed.
-------------------------------------------------------

Elemental Techniques:

-------------------------------------------------------
Name: Shougekiha (Shock Wave)
Rank: B
Elements: Raiton (Lightning)
Description: After forming the appropriate hand seals, the user crosses their arms in front of their torso and draws out lightning chakra between these limbs. Moments later, the user releases it with a swing on their arms, which then fall to their side. It travels, in the form of a large wave of electricity, towards the opponent at a high speed. When it connects, the target it forced against it as it continues travelling. All the while, the subject is subject to an intense electric current run through their body. When the attack fades, the subject is released from its "grasp".
-------------------------------------------------------
Name: Raikage Bunshin no Jutsu (Lightning Shadow Clone Technique)
Rank: B
Elements: Raiton (Lightning)
Description: Because it is a Kage Bunshin, the Raiton version shares the ability to interact with the environment due to it having physical substance. This allows the clone to carry out limited attacks on its target. If the Raikage Bunshin is injured, the clone will revert into its natural lightning state. Like in other Lightning Element attacks, should the target come into contact with the electricity, they will be momentarily stunned.
-------------------------------------------------------
Name: Raijuu Higyou (Lightning Wolf Strike)
Rank: A
Elements: Raiton (Lightning)
Description: The user forms a couple of hand seals before quickly gathering lightning chakra in his/her hand. Swiping the hand at the target will then cause this lightning to leap from the user’s hand and speed towards a target. The lightning’s direction can be controlled somewhat by the user. Once it leaves the user’s hand, it takes the form of a feral wolf. Until the attack is complete, the ‘wolf’ leaves a trail of lightning leading back to the user’s hand.
-------------------------------------------------------
Name: Domu (Earth Spear)
Rank: B
Elements: Doton (Earth)
Description: After forming the needed Snake hand seal, the user will harden their body using the Earth Element. This provides greater defense against attack and will also strengthen the user’s arm to increase their striking ability.
-------------------------------------------------------
Name: Doryuu Heki (Earth Style Wall)
Rank: B
Elements: Doton (Earth)
Description: The ninja will do the necessary hand seals and then spew a line of mud onto the ground. The mud will then grow into a large mud wall to defend against incoming attack.
-------------------------------------------------------
Name: Yomi Numa (Swamp of the Underworld)
Rank: A
Elements: Doton (Earth)
Description: After forming the needed hand seals, a vast, deep swamp can appear beneath the user’s target(s) to sink and kill it (or them). If the user chooses not to sink the target completely or does not have enough chakra or control, then the target will just be stuck in the swampland.
-------------------------------------------------------

Genjutsu:

-------------------------------------------------------
Name: Teguchi Meimu (Illusion Trick)
Rank: E
Description: This technique, acheived through specific training, allows the user to form hand seals for a Ninjutsu technique, whilst actually performing a Genjutsu that takes effect throught these movements. The target is caught unawares and falls into the illusion. There are some Genjutsu techniques that cannot be performed this way.
-------------------------------------------------------
Name: Magen: Narakumi no Jutsu (Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique)
Rank: D
Description: This jutsu causes the target to see a horrifying vision. First, an imaginary circle of leaves will spin around and envelop the target, falling away shortly after. After a short period, the illusion will begin. This is to make the illusion more convincing, since the user will likely have
moved before the illusion sets in.
-------------------------------------------------------
Name: Kasumi Jusha no Jutsu (Mist Servant Technique)
Rank: D
Description: This jutsu creates clones that phase in and out of the ground as if they were made of a blackish, oil-like liquid. When attacked, the clones regenerate themselves. The clones can be controlled to make it seem as if they're throwing kunai. The user can then time their attacks with those of the clones.
-------------------------------------------------------
Name: Magen: Kokoni Arazu no Jutsu (Demonic Illusion: False Surroundings Technique)
Rank: C
Elements: None
Description: This jutsu changes the appearance of a nearby object or area.
-------------------------------------------------------
Name: Zukkukei (Canvas Sentence)
Rank: B
Elements: None
Description: This technique is initiated by receiving a strike from the target. The illusion will then set in, and the target will believe themselves to have struck a large sheet of paper (rather than the user). Their body will seem to merge with the paper, eventually ‘trapping’ them inside the sheet. Until the target can dispel the illusion, he/she is helpless to attacks in reality.
-------------------------------------------------------
Name: Daikokuten (God of Great Darkness)
Rank: A
Elements: None
Description: This jutsu is initiated by striking the target. Then the technique makes the target imagine a blow to his or her eyes, which causes the target's vision to fail, inducing utter darkness. The target then believes themselves to have been blinded. Only by striking the user can they end the effect.
----------------------------------------------
Name: Dou Osore (Body Horror)
Rank: A
Description: The Genjutsu can be activated as soon as the user strikes the target. In the Genjutsu, the target stands helpless while the user can reach into the target's body, their hand going through the flesh as if it were butter. In reality, this jutsu causes actual internal injuries to the body parts that are being targeted in the Genjutsu. If the user attacks the heart or brain, the target has mere seconds to stop the technique or they will die.To escape, if/when the target realizes they are in a Genjutsu, they can physically restrain the user, and if they are able to break the user's contact with them (requires some physical strength), the Genjutsu is broken too. Because this technique requires complete concentration from the user, it is no good against multiple opponents, who could either free the target or taake advantage of the user's inactivity in reality.

[Yun Disukai]

You can only have 2 specialties, remove genjutsu or taijutsu.

[Kaede Asuka]

Specialties being a skill in which you have techniques ranked B or higher, yes? I've dropped the B-Rank taijutsu technique, so I have nothing above C in taijutsu. That better or do I need to remove it all?

[Yun Disukai]

Remove it all,

Specialities = what he knows. You can't have more then 2. There is a reason for there being a "Choose Two." on the application template.

[Kaede Asuka]

Taijutsu is gone, added a few more Genjutsu to make it a proper secondary specialty. Though you might want to correct the template, because there isn't anything about "choose two". Just a heads up.

[Kaede Asuka]

Bump?

[Yun Disukai]

If you want to be a Neo Akatsuki, i will need to be more impressed with your application. =/

[Kaede Asuka]

I'm going for Jounin - the "ex-ANBU" bit is just to mention that I used to be an ANBU.

[Yun Disukai]

Same difference. lol.

[Kaede Asuka]

Ok, what else do I need to do? I kinda thought it was fairly detailed as it is - with a near 600 word history, two paragraph RP sample and an appearance section describing even tiny details like why her hair is kept in such a manner and the size of her footwear...Just not sure what else to add.

[Yun Disukai]

Look at my App for Ideas.
