Character's Full Name: Benzaiten Karasu
Is the character a ninja? Somewhat
Character's Appearance: Karasu has no real interest in her own appearance, but only knows it as her mother has described it to her. Her mother would say to her in a sing-song voice as she went to sleep, "Hair as black as a raven's wing, skin as white as moonlight. Eyes the color of mystery, my princess Karasu." Her eyes are a blue so dark it almost looks purple. She usually wears the same black tunic and long pants, along with the usual sandals a shinobi wears. Her hair is extremely dark black, hence her name 'raven'. When she was four years old her father found out she had the kekkei genkai of the line and gave her a tattoo on her right shoulder, one of a black rose. It's a family mark, all the bearers of the kekkei genkai were supposed to get them. She has a slim build but is very tall, making her look somewhat like a sorrowful and vaguely creepy tree.
Brief Character History: (Tell me if this is too cliche) Karasu was almost a sociopath at birth. Her family was a very confused one. Her father raised her to be an assassin almost from the moment she could walk, while her mother tried to raise her as a normal little girl with her destiny ending as a wife and mother of a happy, normal family. Her mother loved her dearly and her father only cared for himself. The reason he wanted her to be an assassin so badly was that he was raising her to get revenge on a family he felt had wronged him by marrying her off to their son, then having her kill him. When she was eight years old, they had another argument, only this time her father struck her mother. Her mother fell and hit the edge of the table with her temple. She did not get up. Her father, horrified at what he had done, hung himself. Neither one was aware that Karasu was watching from a crack in her bedroom door. The one person Karasu loved in the world was her mother, and at that loss Karasu became entirely apathetic to the world. From that moment on Karasu was a vagabond, killing indiscriminately, from people she stole food from to people who simply annoyed her. She grew stronger and learned the techniques her father taught her perfectly, along with any other techniques she could learn.
Character's Personality: Her predominate characteristic is apathy. She really has no care for anyone at all, not even herself. She'll fight to the death because she doesn't care what happens to her own body. She enjoys killing somewhat, but really doesn't have enough feeling to really enjoy anything. The strongest emotion she feels is annoyance. She's barely human anymore.
Character's Starting Age: 18
Character's Chakra Type: Lightning
Character's Starting Abilities:
Basic shinobi abilities
Advanced medical techniques (from her mother)
Kawarimi-Replacement (genin level)
Shunshin no Jutsu - Body Flicker Technique (genin level)
Range: Close (0ft ~ 10ft ) Mid (10ft ~ 20ft );
Description: Shunshin no Jutsu is a basic Ninjutsu technique. The ninja will appear and disappear in an instant, allowing them to retreat or attack suddenly. To facilitate the movement the ninja will often use nearby elements such as mist, sand or leaves to mask their appearance or disappearance.
Inabikari No Jutsu-Flash of Lightning (genin level)
Range: Mid (0-20ft)
Description: Very basic genjutsu. One uses one's chakra to boost the effects of a flash bomb, causing the opponent to believe they are being attacked and dodge, creating an opening.
Ankoku No Jutsu-Basic darkness (genin level)
Range: Mid (0-20ft)
Description: Almost the same as Inabikari, but the reverse. The opponent is wrapped in a vague darkness. The intensity of the darkness is determined by the strength of the wielder, the range used, and the darkness or lightness of the day.
Rakurai No Jutsu-Bolt of Lightning (chunin level)
Range: Long range (0-40ft)
Description: Fairly straightforward. A large bolt of lightning is called down from the sky onto the target. It works better if there is some moisture in the air to conduct the electricity, and if there is a thunderstorm the power of the blast will be increased greatly.
Hiraishin No Jutsu-Lightning Rod (chunin level)
Range: Close range attack
Description: The wielder uses a piece of metal to conduct a single bolt of electricity into the body of the opponent. The intensity of the strike depends on the strength of the user and conductibility of the metal.
Makura No Jutsu-Absolute darkness (chunin level)
Range: Semi-long (0-50ft)
Description: A horrifying darkness is created, wrapping the opponent in an absolute blackness. It has been known to cause some to go insane.
Kekkei Genkai: Yes (Admin Edit: Approved)
Role-Play Example:
Rosaline grinned at him and thanked the gods of flirting that he hadn't left while she was freaking out. "I'm not certain Robert," she said shyly, lowering her eyelashes demurely. Suddenly she got a sinking feeling in her gut. She closed her eyes as if she were in pain and turned her face up...
Just in time for the blonde bullet hurtling out of the tree above her to collide with her back and knock her face first into the dirt. She spat, choked, spat again and looked up ruefully. "That cracking noise you heard?" she sighed, "That was my spine." She rolled over, knocking off the blonde bombshell that was her baby brother. "What do you want runt?" she asked good-naturedly. She and her brother had never been on bad terms in their lives, and she wasn't about to start now just because of this.
She always acted annoyed when he jumped on her, but the truth was it was part of their relationship and she'd most likely miss it if he stopped. She grinned. "Falling on me is one of his favorite pastimes."
1. If your character were sent on a mission with the old Team 7 (Kakashi, Sasuke, Naruto, Sakura), who would he/she be most likely to get along best with? How about least? In both cases, please motivate.
She'd get along best with Sasuke. She'd respect his motive, to grow stronger, and enjoy the fact that he doesn't need to fill up space in conversation with random talk. She would most likely get along the worst with Naruto because of his habit to try to draw people out of the dark.
2. Which of the three Sannin would your character choose to train with, if given the chance? Why?
Most likely Orochimaru. Jiraiya she would find stupid and vaguely disgusting, while Tsunade she could care less about simply because she cannot understand her motives for almost anything, nor her reasons for caring about so many lives so much. Orochimaru and his experiments with humans would intrigue her, as well as him being the most likely to let her kill when she felt like it.
3. Assume your character was a Konoha nin (therefore supposedly loyal to his/her village). He/she knows all about Sasuke's departure AND the reasons behind it. What would he/she think about that? Does the purpose excuse the means?
She would respect it greatly that Sasuke would leave for power, and understand it completely. She cares for nothing more than power now, and would indeed find it curious that he stayed in the village this long.
4. Would your character die for his/her village? If yes, is it because she cares about the village or is it just because it's a shinobi's duty? If not, is it because he/she disagrees with the village's cause or is it because your character would only be looking out for his/her own good?
Karasu would die if she found someone strong enough to kill her, plain and simple. It has nothing to do with her village or lack of it, she would simply die because she could no longer fight. She cares nothing for a village or for her own good.
5. If given the choice, would your character rather save a companion in need or finish the mission they had?
She would follow what she was being paid for. In her own way, she's not cruel, just overly practical. If someone had to die to finish the mission, so be it. She might feel a small piece of regret at losing a bit of backup, but mostly she wouldn't care.
6. Would your character kill somebody just to prove his/her worth to someone else?
She would kill not to prove anything at all. She doesn't have anything to prove and she doesn't care anything for other people. She would simply kill for whatever reason, or for the sake of it.
7. What kind of people does your character hate the most?
Karasu doesn't really hate anyone. She doesn't have enough care for life to have such a drastic emotion.
8. How much self-esteem does your character have?
None. Or rather, it doesn't matter. She doesn't care for herself or anyone else, and has no opinion on herself at all. She has a profound apathy for life.
9. Does your character talk to the opponent in battle? Why?
Karasu doesn't really talk much. She wouldn't talk in battle because it's a waste of energy which could otherwise be used for fighting.
(Finished! I've never had a character that was almost completely evil before. This is gonna be fun. But now that I think about it, tell me if it sounds too much like Orochimaru.)
