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.

"There are an awful lot of Inuzuka around, you know. It's okay to use Hana. Save Inuzuka-san for Mom, and even she might tell you off for it." It wasn't the first time she'd told Shino that, but she also doubted it would be the last. The Aburame were generally formal, whereas the Inuzuka were anything but. Different clan upbringing led to different mannerisms and modes of speech, and she reluctantly accepted it.

She leaned forward slightly when Shino admitted he could find Kiba. Hana didn't even bother to hide the eagerness on her face, and she was openly gleeful when he finally did tell her. "Oh is he?" Had Kiba been the one to tell her, Hana would have gladly helped cover for him and would have left her brother in peace. But instead, he'd made a lot of extra work for her. "That just opens up a world of possibilities."

So many embarrassing options, so little time. "Care to join me?"

"I understand, Inuzuka-san." C'mon, Hana, you didn't really expect this to be the magic time, did you?

Shino didn't smile when Hana asked him along, but he had more than enough internal glee to make up for the lack of external reaction. Kiba wouldn't forget him again. "Yes, thank you."

Hana hadn't expected it to work, but she still sighed in mild frustration at that blatant refusal.

Fortunately, there were distractions near to hand that cheered her up completely. She folded her hands together slowly as she thought, saying briskly. "Plans first, then disguising our scents. Embarrassment is key, given who he's with." Genjutsu might make this easier, but creativity could make up for a lack of genjutsu skill. They'd just have to do this the old-fashioned way. Sneaking something bad-scented onto the girl would make Kiba squirm but would be harder on the girl than on him, so that was out. Paint bombs? Not nearly embarrassing enough. Hana wanted something special. It had been too long since she last pranked her brother. This would be fun.

"Let me know if you have any bursts of inspiration."

Shino thought for a bit, tilting his head a small amount as possibilities tussled and fought inside his mind like a set of Inuzuka dogs. "The first phase is simple," Shino said, "embarrassment. If we arrive at this early hour, reminding Kiba that his mother is looking for him, perhaps mentioning chores, he will be mortified."

He considered finding an air horn and using that to wake Kiba, surely causing the morning to be one to remember, but that would bother the girl as well. "Do you have a high-frequency whistle?"

Hana just wasn't sure if that was embarrassing enough. Perhaps with careful phrasing... Shino's second suggestion, though, was met with obvious approval. "I do, but let me warn my boys to stay away. They're not fond of the sound, and they're supposed to meet me on the edge of the marketplace." Hana, for that matter, planned on plugging her own ears when the whistle went off, deadening the sound as much as she could manage.

As they went to meet up with the Haimaru triplets, she proposed, "We could send off short bursts of the whistle every few minutes just to watch him jump, even after he's woken up." Her brother could always explain it to the girl, considering she's just as much a ninja as Kiba, but until he did it would be very entertaining. Shino's abilities provided more possibilities, but Hana refused to do anything that contributed to the nasty village rumors regarding bugs. She'd overheard a few too many comments about fleabitten mutts lately. Besides, the Aburame dealt with enough negativity of their own.

"How difficult do you think the traps on her windows are?" Hana wondered. "We could just bypass knocking entirely." A chuunin was sure to have traps of some sort. If they weren't too complex, Hana was ready and willing to try a break-in.

Eeeeexcellent

kiba will not know what hit him

I almost feel bad for him, but Hana won't.

I sympathize with my poor muse. would it kill kiba to send akamaru with a note if he goes drinking?

...I accidentally typed half this tag in Spanish because I'd just emailed my landlord.
