Ninja's bio Name:Makino Delemani Age: 10 Gender: Female Race: human/Jinchuuriki Jinchuuriki mark: Like all Jinchuuriki, she has a mark that acts as a tell-tale sign that she is a Jinchuuriki. For her, as befitting of Nibi, is a tuft of short cat fur-like hair around her wrists that seem to emanate heat. Height: a mere 4'3" Weight: 83 lbs Class: Smart Hero 4/ Medical Specialist 2 Occupation: Academy Student Element Affinity: Water Sheet:http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetvie...sheetid=440713 Psychology Makino is a sweet, if over enthusiastic, young girl with an almost constant smile on her face. She has a great love of calligraphy, finding peace and tranquility in devoting herself to the art of fancy writing. She also has a distinct desire to protect human life, a desire that had given her the fire to fuel her training to try to become one of the villages medical ninjas. If there is one thing that drives her crazy, though, it's that everyone in the village seems to fear her and try to stay as far away as possible. She would understand it if they hated her instead of feared her, it was natural to hate someone you don't like, but to for them to fear her just plain puzzles her. Especially since no one will tell her why they are afraid of her! It just plain drives her crazy!

background Makino Delemani was born as the youngest of three children, with twin older brothers coming before her. Her mother was Mara Delemani, her father was Izuku Madara and her brothers are Makrin and Zelmi Delemani. When she was born, as per tradition, her grandfather had the current Hokage transfer the Two-tailed Nibi from him too Makino. Being a Jinchuuriki, though she'd never been told about being one, even by her family, brought in a unique challenge. Primarily, everyone is scared to death that you'll lose control and murder everyone and thus almost violently refuse to deal with you. With only her family to be able to rely on, she , from an early age, took to wearing significantly different clothing style than other kids her age, usually dressing as a boy, as nearly know one cared what she looked like, let alone did. It wasn't the constant fear she got from the others, nor was it the fact that no one would have anything to do with her, that made her frustrated, it was the fact that no one would tell her why. She felt as if that if they would just tell her why, she would be able to cope with it, and maybe even improve their attitude to her. In her frustration, she turned to calligraphy as a source of stress release. She found it very relaxing, being able to draw fancy script that had actual value. Around the same time she began to learn Calligraphy she began her training in the Ninja Academy. Like always, she was always lonely in her class. One of her teachers, Uriyu of the revitalized Uchiha clan, took note of Makino's interest and began teaching her several different ways of creating special scrolls and seals that a ninja can use to augment their skills. It was during these sessions that she, by accident, found the seals that allowed a ninja to store their chakra in crystals. Delighted in this, she began, with the help of Uriyu-sensei, began collecting the inks required to make several element scrolls, a few advanced seals and a chakra storing gem. About a year into being in the academy, when she was nine, she found a boy beaten up and bleeding from numerous wounds. Helpless to help the boy, she did her best to carry him on her back to the clinic. Of course the medical ninja there assumed that she was the one who injured him and tried to have her punished. It was by pure luck she ran into Uriyu-sensei when she did and had enough time to explain everything before the ninja that were chasing her caught up. Uriyu-sensei managed to talk them down and reminded them that they had a boy to look after. Even still, when Uriyu-sensei turned around to look at Makino and found that she was crying. The usually chipper Makino was crying and when asked why, Makino said that she was sad because she couldn't help the boy. Uriyu-sensei offered to help teach her medical ninjutsu, which Makino eagerly accepted. The past year has been extremely hard on her, and was coupled with a few near disasters but once she graduated from the academy at ten years of age she was fairly competent with the two medical jutsu she managed to learn as well as the one Advanced Seal jutsu she managed to learn as well. It's now time for her to join her first squad and find out what destiny lies in store for her.

Description Makino Delemani would not look at all like a ninja at first glance, with the only obvious indicators are the headband tied around her arm and the large shiruken pouch strapped to her right thigh over her shorts. Having no one really care much about her meant that no one really cared what she looked like either, and a such she has taken on very much a tom boy-ish look. She has bright blue eyes and firey red hair that seems to be all over the place, despite the best tries at trying to tame it. She has adopted long cargo shorts with pockets full of random caligraphy gear, from paints and oils, to brushes and parchment. She has also taken to wearing what could only be described as a glorified tube-top with a netted 'shirt' over top. Around her wrists are bracers that have several kunai hidden underneath them and over her shoulders is drapped long green ribbon that despite all sense of reason just seems to hang there, never falling off. Strapped to her back are four unmarked scrolls that are really Elemental Scrolls of the water veriety.

I will allow, hesitantly, this character too be an NPC, but I'd much rather play.

http://i360.photobucket.com/albums/o...takeArashi.png All credit goes to the artist of this picture

Shinobi Card Name: Arashi Hatake Age: 10 Gender: Male Race: Human Height: 4'6" Weight: 78 lbs Class: Strong 3/Taijutsu Master 3 Occupation: Hatake Clan Element Affinity: Electricity Combat Style: Swordsman, Hand-to-hand and Ninjutsu Combatant.

Personality

Arashi is often compared to the Element his family is most known for, Lightning. In many ways he exemplifies the immediacy of the Element as he strives constantly to himself and those around him to improve accepting no excuses. After Arashi's tutelage within his Family, he was often characterized by the Genin's teachers as 'incapable and unwilling to stop'. Arashi analyzes a situation and like a flash of lightning he reacts to it, and in much the same way he does so with people as well.

He observes those around him going about their daily lives, and then judges them based solely on what he sees. Whether or not they care about his judgement is of little consequence to him. In school he was often seen as the 'Cool Kid', and while he would never admit it to anyone he enjoyed that distinction. Being popular often meant others would listen to what he said, and Arashi did not like to speak, so when he did he wants it to make a difference.

Arashi has a tendency to snap at people if they do something he believes to be foolish or just plain wrong. However, it is a cold snap...His anger often intimidates those around him merely because of how cold he is when he gets angry.

Description

There were many feelings about Arashi's clothing, mostly the girls in the school would whisper about how 'cute' he was while he would pretend not to listen. As is common in the Hatake's lineage, Arashi's hair is pure white, but unlike most of his relatives he prefers to let his hair hang loose rather than spike it up. He was considered a little 'rebellious' due to his refusing to wear a forehead protector, instead he had the Leaf insignia sewn onto the left breast of his jackets and shirts. Just so no one could complain about a lack of identifier, and just in case it's ever required, he does keep the forehead Protector on him in one of his pockets.

Arashi's right eye was always covered by a thin layer of black cloth which was tied securely around his head. His left eye is a dark blue color reminiscent of the blue electrical currents often seen used by Hatake Shinobi. Arashi's gaze is as piercing as any member of his Clan's, they have this way of looking at a person that makes them feel like they aren't even there, as though seeing right through them. His facial features are rather defined, with flat planes and and sharp curves which are only accentuated by the light hair and bright eye.

Style-wise, Arashi wears long gray jackets with wide shoulders and loose arms that hangs down over his hands to assist him in deceiving enemies of his potential movements. The Leaf Emblem is sewn or emblazoned into the left breast of these jackets, though a patch is easily placed over it to conceal the leaf as needed. His shirts are always simple darker colored, and his pants are usually tight enough to ensure they will not cause problems in a fight, but also are a little loose in the leggings to confuse enemies of his foot movements.

Hidden all about Arashi's body are an unknown number of throwing knives, he is rumored to be the latest bearer of Raitaku, the Lightning Arc of Hatake, though it is seen nowhere on his person. The blade is known to possess impressive lightning powers, fueled by the Hatake's Clan's best combatants, it makes the blade frightening in it's power.

Background
Ancestry

Hatake Clan was founded by Kakashi Hatake shortly after his wedding in which he married Anko Matarashi. The Hatake Clan consists solely of those descended from Kakashi Hatake's first child Obito Hatake, it was to him that Kakashi entrusted all of his Techniques to, and it was to Obito that he passed on the eye of his namesake when Kakashi passed away. That was the first time the Matarashi Clan had implanted the Sharingan into one of Kakashi's line, and it would soon become a tradition.

The Matarashi Clan had begun Biological studies on how to replicate the Sharingan within the Forest of Death in a secret lab they kept there. Under the leader of Obito's sister, Minato Matarashi, the Matarashi Clan finally produced a replica of the Sharingan Eye. Unfortunately, without the blood of an Uchiha to power it, the Eye could never attain it's full potential, but it was enough to satisfy the Hatake Clan who would have one of these eyes implanted into the first-born child of each generation.

For Generation after Generation the Hatake Clan served Konoha as the 'Copy Clan', for while the Uchiha were the unrivaled masters of the Power of the Sharingan, the Hatake Clan focused solely on making use of what abilities they had. Since the first implanted 'False Eye' the Uchiha have believed that the Hatake seek to steal their power from them, and from this a rivalry began and has continued through the centuries.

The two Clans would often compete against each other, usually resulting in one or the other being deemed the 'Greatest of their Generation', but always it resulted in the oldest children of each Clan forming a rivalry. Meanwhile, the Matarashi Clan continued it's studies and was consistently allied with the Hatake, the two were separate Clans that remained bound in alliance by inter-marriage. Many times other Clans sought to split the two apart, but few understood just how symbiotic the relationship was between the Clans...for without maintaining both Clans as pairs, they would both fall.

Current History

Arashi was born to the head of the Hatake Clan, Monishu Hatake, and with his birth as the first-born came the expectations that were far greater than a child should be burdened with. By the time he turned 4 years old he was deemed fit to implanted with the Sharingan, a feat many in the Clan found an impressive sign, particularly since their rivals the Uchiha had such a disappointing daughter. Arashi rarely ever got to see his own parents, and when he did it was often very strict with little in the way of love or affection being shown, they simply wanted an update on his progress.

From the first moment Arashi picked up a toy sword at the age of 3, he was deemed old enough to be trained in the ways of the Shinobi. The classes were harsh, and Arashi was often left winded and bruised by the time the day was over and he allowed himself to retire. Each time the training began, he fought with cold precision that was marveled at by his mentors. Few could understand what drove him to excel, but there was one person who understood him far more than anyone else could ever hope to.

Whenever he would sneak away from the Hatake Compound, Arashi would eventually find himself in a clearing that was unknown to most in the Village...or maybe just ignored. But often-times when he arrived, she was already there and waiting with a brilliant smile that could light up the night. Masami Uchiha was Arashi's best friend, she was in much the same situation as he was in, the only difference being that she was simply no good at most of the Ninja Arts. It was actually with Masami's help that he learned to adjust to the Sharingan, learned to use it as it should be used.

No one had any idea that the two of them met, they shared stories and laughed together whenever they had the chance to be away from the Village. Oftentimes he would have to be strong for her as she came to the clearing in tears, and he would have to cheer her up and make her smile. But no matter how friendly they were in private, as soon as they were in public the both of them knew what they had to do and would quietly ignore one another.

Publicly, Hitomi Hyuuga was considered to be Arashi's 'Rival', primarily because he was one of the few that could best her in combat. He'd earned her respect the first time he brought her down in practice, and since then she has him sit with her whenever they're eating lunch or practicing Jutsu. Most of the girls in the school think Hitomi has a bit of a thing for Arashi because he was able to beat her, but those same girls giggle over the fact that he doesn't seem to have noticed.

Arashi's true strength did not lie in his ability to fight well with Taijutsu though, rather, he was widely regarded with awe due to his incredible versatility. He learned to fight with his hands and feet that impressed everyone who saw it, he could pick up Ninjutsu as easily as breathing, among the first students to master the Kawarimi no Jutsu, and his ability with Genjutsu was also quite impressive. This spectrum of ability is what made most of the School's Teachers and Students respect him so much, because his ability to mix the Jutsu and create a fighting style unique to him was impressive.

On Arashi's 10th Birthday he was going to be given permission to join the other Students in their quest to become Genin, while he had been viewed as ready for at least 4 years, his acceptance was held up due to political pressure from the Uchiha Clan. The only reason they let up now was because their own scion was at the same level now. As proof to his Family that he was fit, he had to pass one final test, the test of whether he was fit to wield Raitaku, the Hatake Family Sword that was believed to hold within it the spark of Kakashi's Chidori.

The test was a very basic one, but far from simple. Arashi was given a Kendo Stick, he was then confronted by enemies that were more than twice his age. Only after he'd beaten all three of them separately, and then altogether was he deemed ready to wield the Raitaku. Despite several injuries and being covered in bruises from the attacks of the three, Arashi had collected the weapon standing tall. Once again his parents were not present despite the great honor being presented to him, they were too busy with things that were not allowed to be spoken of.

Several days later he would appear with the others with only a few bruises remaining, ready to be placed on a team and prove to the Village, and his Parents, that he was the best...That he deserved their respect.

Appearance:

http://www.christianforums.com/attac...anime_girl.jpg

Nindo: To be above what my own brother did. To put my Family, Friends, and village above all else.
Personality: Sakuya Ishimaru could be said to be a quiet girl, often seen training to become better. But that's until you get to know her better. Once inside she can be quite annoying, and very blunt, even when it isn't needed. She is honest and loves animals, even if they don't always love her back. However her will above all else is one of her best features, to a quite annoying degree at that. However as her friend you'll find it hard to be rid of her, and even harder to take on your own issues without her getting in the thick of it with you.
Background:Sakuya Ishimaru has lived a good life as a citizen of Iwagakure. Playing with other kids, making friends, going to school, and overall normal life. Her Mother, Brother, and Father all ninja of their village, known for their sturdy nature, and ability to see a fight through to the end. She would often hang around with her best friend of the time/relative Hiraku Ishimaru. The two of them often got into fights due to differing personalities , but were somehow still friends through the whole thing. She would often be the one to throw the first hit, seeing him being full of himself as, how she puts it, 'more annoying than a bee'.

Though stuff like that was several years ago, changing from one fateful action. Her brother killed himself, but planted the evidence on her before he did so. What his motives were for this wasn't clear. But by the time she woke up in the middle of the night she had been apprehended by village Shinobi and nearly put on trial for the murder of her brother. The claim was that she had brought him to her room, likely to play with him, and killed him than and there. The autopsy suggested a poison lined daikunai was used, much like the one found under her pillow. She had become so confused and distressed that she passed out and woke up crying. When she found out that her brother was dead because of her, she cried even moreso, not only because her brother was dead, but because she hadn't done it. It was thanks to a passing Konoha Ninja on his way through rock country, investigating this crime, having coincided with his mission. It was a few days of investigation, but her own name had been cleared. But many people seemed to think she did do it, leaving her and her parents ridiculed, and even picked on.

The same ninja passed through having to report back to his village on the mission. She saw him, and begged him to take her and her family with him to his village. It took alot of annoyance, but she managed it. She brought the nin back with her to her home where the ninja explained how, even if he did get annoyed by her, that it may be best for the 3 of them if they came with him to Konoha. It was a bit of talking that went on, but the 3 agreed, and given a day to be ready to move. She had to go say bye to her only friend left, Hiraku. The two of them got into another fight, before they said their long goodbyes. She packed everything she could, her parents notifiying the Iwakage of their plans to leave the city, leaving at noon the next day.

Fast Forwarding to more recently, she had been inspired by the nin who had cleared her name in Iwagakure she went to the Ninja Academy in Konohagakure, training, remembering the nindo that had been forged by the realization of her future, tempering it. She had received a mix of school training and her family training, learning the ways of her family fighting style, learning village Justu, practicing Jutsu based off of her family's element, not knowing that it was feeding off of her own personal element. She always kept in mind, after learning that her brother set her up, that she would become better than her brother was, to prove that her name wasn't what it is in Iwa.

Note: EDIT: I redact my previous statement and allow you to use this character as an NPC so long as nothing about the character that has already been made is not changed. Future changes in future levels however are fine.

Still W.I.P. http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/g...hershrine2.jpg Background The Tadayoshi clan has a long tradition of producing elite samurai within the land. Always known for the unbridled loyalty, it came as a great shock the day Genji Tadayoshi was branded traitor to his clan. Genji had been overseeing peace discussions between two rival clans, when tragedy struck. Both leaders were assassinated and evidence was left which pointed to Genji. Never one to flee from adversity, Genji struck out on his own to find the true culprits. He had personally received the support of his daimyo, but to the world his daimyo voiced his displeasure. Before Genji could discover the truth, forces were sent to his household to eradicate the traitors. Genji Tadayoshi died protecting his family, but before he did he was able to help his pregnant daughter Sachi escape. Sachi sought refuge initially with her dead husband's family, but was quietly turned away from fear of retribution that may befall them. Wandering for weeks, drawing ever closer to her due date, she finally collapsed near a secreted Ninja village. Sachi would awaken in relative peace, cared for by the village healer. She told the old woman her plight and begged refuge, which was granted. Years later, Sachi had grown to love the village and all it could offer. Aways one with plants, she became a natural when it came to the herbology required to learn the healing arts. Even without the village, she had the love of her son, Nishimura. Nishi was growing well and brought joy to her whenever she looked upon him. Content, Sachi still looked back at the life they had lost with regret. She spent many an hour telling a young Nishi about his noble father and grandfather. She did not have to try very hard to instill a strong sense of honor within her son, as it was such a strong part of his heritage. Unable to send him back to the world of the Samurai, she begged the healers son to mentor Nishi in the arts of Ninjutsu. Nishi excelled in his training, but never seemed able to truly separate his Ninja training with that of his Samurai heritage. Luckily for Nishi, his mentor was able to help him blend the two art forms into one and he gained access to the Konoha Academy.

Stat Card Name: Nishimura "Nishi" Tadayoshi Class: Dedicated 4/Kyujutsu Samurai 2 Occupation: Wandering Ninja Age: 14 Gender: Male Height: 5'6" Weight: 110 lb. Element Affinity: Suiton (Water) Personality Nishi is as taut as the bow he carries in battle. When he sets his mind on achieving something, his unwavering focus often sees him to success. Many people are unsettled by his intensity, as they often feel he projects that requirement to succeed on them. This is probably furthest from the truth as he sees it is his responsibility that others succeed around them. If they fail, then he has failed them to begin with. This drive stems from his need to bring honor back to his family name, which haunts his every waking moment and many of his dreams. Appearance Nishi maintains a meticulous appearance. Honor for him not only comes from his actions, but from how others see him. What better way to convey perfection, than to look the part. His golden eyes pierce through most of his challenges either by guiding his arrows to their mark, or focusing his will to disperse the phantoms directed his way. Rarely one to break a smile, his visage appears etched in stone. Techniques Ninjutsu Rank: 1 (E-Class); Learn DC: 12, 1 success; Perform requirements: 1 rank (DC 11); Time: 1 attack action; Components: C, H; Range: Personal; Effect: Duplicates of the user; Duration: 1 minute / level; Saving Throws: None; Chakra Resistance: No; Chakra Cost: 1 + 1 per additional clones (maximum 2 + 2 per level). By using this technique, the user creates one or more duplicate of himself. The clones stay near you and disappear when attacked. The clones appear by the user's side and cannot stray more than 100 feet away from the original. The duplicates look like the user and are perfect duplicate, but they cannot speak or perform any action that requires having a body, like lifting an object or attacking a creature. Once touched by another creature or object or violently shaken, it disappears in a puff of smoke. If the user stand among his clones, roll randomly to see whether his clone or the real one is hit, unless the creature knows or has a way to determine which is the user. A clone's Defense is 10 + the user's size Modifier + Dex modifier + half the user's class class bonus. A clone does make noise when it moves and it has a scent. They cannot perform any action that requires concentration and of course, cannot perform any technique. Bunshin no Jutsu(Duplication) 1E (Free) Ninjutsu Rank: 1 (E-Class); Learn DC: 12, 1 success; Perform requirements: 1 rank (DC 11) (see text); Time: 1 attack action; Components: S, Mas; Range: Personal (see text); Target: You (see text); Duration: 10 minute / level (D; see text); Saving Throws: None; Chakra Cost: 1. This technique is taught to most every student of the academy, minus those that can't or won't use Ninjutsu. Using this technique, the user assumes the form of a creature of same size category as he is or smaller. He may freely designate the specifics of his new form (such as height, weight, hair texture and color, skin tone, etc.). In this new form, the user keeps his hit dice and special abilities, but does not gain any of his new form's extraordinary, supernatural or spell like abilities other than its natural weapons and cannot change his voice. He keeps his own ability scores, levels, hit points, allegiance, base attack and save bonuses, but they are adjusted accordingly as per his new size category (if any change occurred). In this new form, the user can use all his extraordinary, supernatural and spell like abilities unless they use a limb or body part that he does not currently posses in his new form. He can create equipment, natural weapons or simply make it so that his new form carries the same equipment as he does, but cannot create something overly complicated or that uses Chakra (no mastercrafted objects, no advanced weaponry, exploding tags, summoning scrolls, etc) and is not automatically proficient in them; any part of the body or piece of equipment that is separated from the whole reverts to its true form. He cannot use any technique of any type unless his new form allows him to, but is still capable of speech even if his new form would not usually be. Even in his new form, he retains his own creature type and does not gain any immunities he would with another (such as vermin's immunities to mind affecting attacks). The new form cannot be smaller than Tiny and he gains a +1 bonus to Disguise checks per level (maximum +15) if he uses the technique to disguise into another creature. The new form will not provide warmth if he is not clothed. The user can also use Henge to transform into an object of his size category or smaller, but that is no smaller than Tiny. The DC in that case is equal to 10 + the purchase DC of the object. He cannot transform into advanced weaponry or mastercrafted weapons, nor can he replicate the effects of an object crafted with chakra (see above). He may use Henge no Jutsu to transform his clones, but doing so increases the skill threshold and perform DC by 3, and costs 1 more chakra per clone transformed. The range of the technique in this case is of 20 feet and affects any clones at the user's discretion within that range. When the a transformed creature is hit while maintaining a transformation, it must succeed a Concentration check (DC 10 + damage dealt) or see the technique abruptly end (note that each step of mastery grants a +1 bonus to this check). A creature that interacts with or intently observes the transformed creature may make a Spot check (DC 25 or opposed by the disguise check) to recognize it as transformed, but will not be able to determine what the true form of the creature or the user is. Creatures that can See Chakra or See Through Chakra can make a Spot check (DC 10) to notice chakra moving in an odd pattern around the user, which will in turn allow the creature to make a Ninjutsu check (DC 16) to identify the pattern as a result of Henge. The user, when performing Henge, may also spend 1 additional point of chakra to increase the duration by 10 minutes, up to 10 minutes per level. Mastery Each step of mastery in this technique grants the user a +1 bonus to the user's Concentration check made to avoid losing the technique if damaged. Henge no Jutsu(Transformation) 1E (free) Ninjutsu Rank: 1 (D-Class); Learn DC: 13, 1 success; Perform requirements: 1 rank (DC 12) (see text); Time: 1 attack action or 1 instant action; Components: H, M, Mas; Range: Personal; Target: You; Duration: 3 rounds (D) or Instantaneous (see text); Saving Throws: None; Chakra Cost: 1. The user substitutes himself with another object of approximate size that he can lift with his carrying capacity, found in his general area. This allows him to effectively replace himself with a chakra construct and use this technique to either create a Diversion or Avoid an Attack. The construct left behind is a fair likeness of the user and can pass inspection at first glance (Spot check DC 10 required to tell that the construct is a fake). Diversion: The user replaces himself with a construct that appears in his square, while he may move up to 30 feet away or his current land speed (whichever is lower). The construct can follow a single, simple command that may be any single of the following: Stay still, run, walk, eat, sleep, swim, and jump. The construct will follow the command for up to 3 rounds, until dismissed or it comes in contact with a physical object of any kind, no matter how light. The replacement cannot spring a trap unless the object used can potentially do so (ie, a log might trigger a pressure plate trap). The replacement does not evade, dodge, block, and is not capable of sentient thought, nor is it capable of performing any activity beyond its given command. It is completely non- responsive and cannot be altered after being created, and is likely to act in an uncharacteistic way that will make the deception obvious to anyone interacting with it. When creating the diversion, the user can make a Hide check if he moves out of line of sight unless closely observed while doing so. He may hide without penalty as long as he has sufficient cover. A creature that can See Chakra or See Through Chakra can make a Spot check (DC 10) to notice a strange pattern of Chakra over the construct, which will in turn enable it to make a Ninjutsu check (DC 16) to identify the construct as being a replacement. Avoiding an Attack: The user performs Kawarimi as an instant action before an enemy attack roll (melee or ranged attack, touch attack, or grapple attempt) targeting him specifically, and moves as though with the Diversion use of this technique. To do so, the user cannot be flat-footed or denied his Dexterity bonus to defense. Skill threshold does not apply to avoid an attack. Avoiding an attack costs 1 point of chakra, and can be done up to 1 time per day. The attack avoided must be from a creature with a Challenge Rating equal or lesser than his level, or 1 (whichever is lower). The user cannot avoid an attack if he is immobilized in any way. To avoid the attack, the user must make a Perform check (as per Kawarimi no Jutsu, mastery counts) opposed to the opponent's attack roll (add 5 if the attack roll is a Chakra Control, Genjutsu or Ninjutsu effect, a natural 20 or a confirmed critical), minimum 15. Success means that the user replaces himself with a construct (as per Diversion above) that is immediately destroyed. Avoiding an attack must be declared before knowing the result of the attack roll. Failure means that the chakra spent trying to avoid the attack is wasted, and the technique fails. If performed with only one hand free, the user suffers a -5 penalty to his perform check. If performed with no hands free, the penalty increases to -15. An opponent can choose to lower the value of its CR for the purpose of allowing an opponent to evade the attack in this manner, but not increase it. Each use of Avoiding an Attack stacks with all other techniques with effects that allow you to Avoid an Attack, such as Hijou Kawarimi no Jutsu or Shundou. Mastery Every step of mastery after the first allows the technique to be used an additional time per day, up to 5/day. The first step of mastery allows the user to avoid an attack from a CR up to his level or 5, whichever is lower. The second step of mastery allows the user to increase the cost to 2 when avoiding an attack, to avoid an attack from a CR up to his level or 10, whichever is lower. The third step of mastery allows the user to increase the cost to 3 when avoiding an attack, to avoid an attack from a CR up to his level or 15, whichever is lower. The fourth step of mastery allows the user to increase the cost to 4 when avoiding an attack, to avoid an attack from a CR up to his level or 20, whichever is lower. The fifth step of mastery allows the user to increase the cost to 5 when avoiding an attack, to avoid an attack from a CR up to his level or 25, whichever is lower. Kawarimi no Jutsu(Body Replacement) 1D (Free) Chakra Control (Body) Rank: 1 (E-Class); Learn DC: 12, 1 success; Perform requirements: 1 rank (DC 11); Time: 1 move-equivalent action; Components: C; Range: Personal; Target: You; Duration: 1 minute/level; Saving Throws: None; Chakra Cost: 1. This technique allows the user to stick to smooth surfaces, climb up vertical walls horizontally, stick to ceilings with his feet alone and walk on them as he would do on the floor. It holds its name due to the fact that young ninjas are taught this technique trying to climb up trees vertically. Hanging upside down implies a cumulative -1 penalty to attack rolls and skill checks per two rounds spent in that position. Should the user be tripped while hanging upside down, he will fall without possibility of catching himself at a rate of 200 feet per round, increasing by 50 feet every round. Alternatively, if the user is tripped while standing on the side of a wall or surface, he will still fall unless he makes a Climb check (DC 15) to catch himself, though he will still be considered prone. On the round the technique should end, the user may spend a free action to sustain the technique and renew its effect rather than have it end. Doing so still costs the user the same Chakra Cost, as though he had used the technique normally. The user does not lose his dexterity bonus to defense while "climbing" in this manner, nor does he suffer any movement penalty. When walking up a slippery or completely smooth surface, the user must make a Chakra Control check (DC 10) every round or fall down (see above). When landing on a wall or other similar surfaces, a character can use this technique as a free action that does not provoke an attack of opportunity, but suffers a -5 penalty to his Chakra Control check to perform, must pay double the chakra cost. The user may also use Kinobori to stop his fall if he is within 10 feet of a wall. He will reduce the falling height by 90 feet, eventually stopping when the falling a number of round sufficient to reach that length at one quarter his previous falling speed (typically 200 feet plus 50 feet per round spent falling). No matter what the situation, Kinobori cannot be used on ice-covered surfaces unless the user meets special requirements. Kinobori 1E (Harmony) Chakra Control (Body) Rank: 2 (C-Class); Learn DC: 15, 2 success; Perform requirements: 3 ranks (DC 15); Time: 1 move-equivalent action; Components: C; Range: Personal; Target: You; Duration: 1 minute/level; Saving Throws: None; Chakra Cost: 1. This technique allows the user to float on watery surfaces. He may float on water, oil or blood, even, but not actively harmful substance like Acid or Lava. The user is able to walk, run or charge normally and suffer no movement penalty while on calm water. If the user uses this technique on rough water, he must make a Balance check (DC 15) or move at half his normal speed until his next turn. If the technique is used on stormy water, the user must make a Balance check (DC 20) or move at one-quarter his normal speed and lose his dexterity bonus to defense until his next turn, where he must remake another check. On the round the technique should end, the user may spend a free action to sustain the technique and renew its effect on the same round, instead of having to spend another move-equivalent; doing so still costs the user the same Chakra Cost as it would if he used the technique normally. Using this technique underwater has no effect until the user surfaces. When landing on water, a character can use this technique as an instant action that does not provoke an attack of opportunity, but suffers a -20 penalty to his Chakra Control check to perform, must pay double the chakra cost.
