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.

The first was the more interesting option, second only perhaps to the option where they both explored the village together and pretended not to recognize each other. Unfortunately, as daimyo, he didn't have the luxury to shirk his responsibilities, no matter how he might like to.

He responded in kind to the shinobi, giving a nod which was appropriate for a man of his position, but held what mutual respect he could for a shinobi. He would have liked to be friendlier and treat the man as an equal, but while he was an envoy of Kirigakure, Hotohori was daimyo rather than shinobi. Such was life.

He noted the position of the man as he walked. It was...a curious choice. There was no threat to be found in the Land of Noodles (save for the occasional time that there was), and a man from the Land of Water had no responsibility to protect one from the Land of Noodles even if there were. Was it a sign of respect, perhaps? Most other Kiri nin he'd dealt with hadn't defaulted to that respective position, so it was very unlikely to simply be usual procedure of the land.

Rather than dwell on it in silence or address it, he simply opened up another path of conversation. "Am I correct in believing you come from the Hoshigaki clan?" He'd done research on so many clans that there were many he'd forgotten, but a distinctive one so close to home was easy to remember. Discussion of clans was a compromise of official and casual conversation appropriate of the walk they were on.

Well, the daimyo accepted it, even if Kisame thought he saw some curiosity there. There was no reason to stop now that he had gotten his reaction, and really, Kisame wouldn't put it past someone to have arranged an accident to get rid of the threat he posed. Subtly, of course, because on paper Kisame was very much in favor. It was almost comfortable, because Kisame had spent many missions protecting, even if it ended up with comrade's blood on his hands later. He hadn't done that for a long time though; and hoped never to again. No, better to only pick comrades who knew what was expected, rather than sheep.

The question was amusing in its own way. As if it wasn't obvious! "I am; you know your clans. Curious, are you, Xing-shu-sama?"

There was plenty he wouldn't, or couldn't reveal, but Kisame wasn't averse to asking a few basic questions that were essentially common knowledge anyway.

It would be quite unfortunate if someone arranged an accident to happen while within the Land of Noodles. Hotohori frowned on such practices, his own family all having been eliminated by such 'accidents' by his scheming mother. Noodle prices would steeply increase if such underhanded behavior were caught within his borders. Particularly as such 'accidents' had a habit of endangering nearby civilians, and he took threats to his people poorly.

He gave a mild smile, allowing for the moment the use of his proper name due to the situation. "Well, the Hoshigaki clan is a very distinctive clan. I think it's a greater reflection upon your clan than my knowledge. It is an interest of mine to study history when I can, however." Despite what some might believe, he was perfectly capable of modesty when it came to things not to do with his looks.

...But why would he be modest about his beauty? He was incredibly beautiful.

Kisame wasn't exactly expecting one to happen, but one could never be too prepared for treachery. It happened far too often, especially in Kiri.

"We do have a particular look; that's true! And what history do you know of my clan?"

Kisame was used to fielding questions about his clan from those outside Kiri, and even some inside, though they should know better, and found that the best defense was deflection. If the man was recounting what he knew, he wouldn't be asking things of Kisame. And it never hurt to know the current rumors about the clan!
