Test Drive Post!

Okay everyone, it's time to test some people out! The rules of the game are simple. You have a character you would like to try out as a native to the setting of this game. You want to see if this is the right setting to play said character in, right? Well, then all you have to do is drop them into this post as a top level comment with this as the header: Character name | Series (OC's just put Original here) | Planned Village Affiliation Then you comment around and play with everyone else! If you need some ideas on how to get started, you can drop your character in during the middle of a mission, have them at an eatery around their village, or maybe even just doing weapons practice. It's up to you how you want to set out, so feel free to put your characters in this version of the Naruto universe however it most seems appropriate. Just be sure to say where you put them somewhere in your post though, otherwise two people might not even be threading in the same country. One last thing! Remember that your character was born in this universe, so whatever else you decide, your character is a world native, even if they might be a tourist in the village you decided to test them out on. And that's it. Just be good to each other and have fun! Threads you do here can count toward future activity checks, so long as the person you're threading with gets in too. These threads can also be used for samples on your application.

Re: Inuzuka Hana | Naruto | Konoha

[abileunaspada]

Though her scent was likely unfamiliar, there was no mistaking that who was approaching was a shinobi of Konohagakure. It was hot, that uncomfortable heat before the sweltering temperatures of summer began to kick in. That stupid auction was soon too, so she'd have to enjoy her last bit of 'freedom' before those began.

That was when she arrived at the training ground, fully intending to practice forms when she spotted the Inuzuka shinobi and large nin-dogs beneath the tree. She looked tired... Really tired...

"Oi, you all right?" Adela asked as she walked over, formally announcing her presence as she pulled a chilled bottle of water out of her bag. She just looked... Tired. Really tired. Hopefully she wasn't sick or anything because of the heat though...

"Fine, thanks, and even if I weren't, I'm a medic. It's just too hot to do anything." Hana sits halfway up, leaning back on her elbows and grinning at Adela. "Four way spars are a bad idea in heat waves."

Because that's what their training consisted of on this particular morning, at least until two of the dogs banded together to attack Hana. An unfair alliance, and she'd been hard pressed to hold her own. Her remaining partner took the opportunity to slip away from the fighting, thus starting the general exodus toward shade.

[abileunaspada]

The smile was nice to see, but at the same time she wasn't so sure. And, even if she didn't know the other, the woman was a part of the village... So she'd help out. She could use that as an excuse at least.

Without another thought she approached, holding out one of her water bottles for Hana to take and glancing at the dogs around her, "I have more if your nin-dogs want some too. I guess it is kinda hot to do any really serious training today if you're not by the river or ponds."

[puppypile]

"That's sweet of you. We brought our own, but I think they might fight me for yours. Ours isn't cold anymore." Hana hopped to her feet and accepted the water gratefully. With her other hand, she made a quick hand sign toward the dogs. Anyone who treated her dogs well was okay by Hana, and the offer got Adela on her good side right off the bat.

"I'm Hana, and these are the Haimaru triplets." All three dogs, now sitting upright and attentive, nodded their own greetings to Adela, one of them softly woofing hello as well.

Hana took a few sips herself, then raised her eyebrows at the triplets. They surrounded her in a semicircle waiting for their own shares, which she poured into their open mouths. A few sips apiece of the cold water, and then she and the dogs could stay hydrated with what Hana brought. There was no reason to deprive Adela of supplies.

[abileunaspada]

"I'm Adela. Good to meet you," She nodded, smiling a bit more broadly as she knelt down in front of them to greet them properly. She'd never seen a nin-dog up close like this before, let alone three of them... She had a feeling that they were different from normal dogs, even if she couldn't exactly identify how.

You know, aside from being really really big for dogs.

"So they're capable fighters too? That's kinda cool, I've never really met nin-animals like this before."

[puppypile]

"Yeah. They've all trained since they were puppies, same as I have." She didn't bother phrasing more carefully so as to not refer to herself as a puppy. Careful phrasing was reserved for people who disrespected her ninken, making Hana want to humiliate them as much as possible. In-clan, it was entirely acceptable to mix together human puppies and canine ones, the term practically an endearment.

Hana grinned as she watched the dogs get affectionate with Adela, playfully nudging her. They knew where their cold water came from, and they also understood every appreciative word she said.

"Did you want the training ground to yourself, or would you like company? I'll treat you to lunch after."

[abileunaspada]

Adela couldn't help it, she laughed a little at the nudging before she ruffled each dog's hair with affection. She figured that if they were coming up to her like this then it'd be okay, right? And it sort of made her happy to get thanks for giving them cold water.

"If you're up to training with swords and jutsu, I'd like to spar with you. I'm up for learning new styles I might have to go against, and I'm sure you all could too."

[puppypile]

The dogs loved attention and appreciation, and Hana was always glad to see someone out-of-clan treat her boys well. Adela's actions were definitely okay.

"I'm not so good with kenjutsu," Hana admitted. "I'm pretty heavily nin and taijutsu focused, and my boys and I use a lot of brute force. I'm betting you've got a lot more finesse than I do." Adela was younger, but Hana's focus had been split between combat and medical techniques. She knew better than to underestimate a kunoichi just because of an age difference.

As for straight-out announcing her fighting style before a spar, Inuzuka never made much of a secret of theirs. "If you're up for heavy hitters, I'd be glad to oblige."

[abileunaspada]

"I could use some more taijutsu training that isn't just technique," She nodded, getting up and stretching slightly before she unhooked her sword and hilt from the belt around her waist. It didn't take long and she took down the weapons pouch as well, cracking her knuckles before leaving the shade for the searing heat of the training field.

"I'm ready when you are, Hana!" If Hana was expecting honorifics, she was going to be sorely disappointed; Adela didn't tend to use them for almost anyone, not unless they were outright requested of her or if she felt that they were needed.
