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.

Sad was not quite the right word for it, but troubled was more on target. The truth of the matter was that Neji generally lived in varying levels of irritation and the stall before him was vexing on a moderate scale. He had to get a gift for Hinata for her birthday- he'd put it off for far too long, and the date was approaching very, very quickly.

It happened every year. He'd come to learn that he just wasn't good at giving gifts. The only heartening thing about giving his cousin a gift was that she'd appreciate most anything. But he was running out of nice, functional and polite gifts to get her. The last two years running had been a fine tea set, then a beautiful comb, and there were only so many of those a person could use in a lifetime.

A small set of dishes? Jewelry? Would she care for or have use for either of those things? Should he get her one of them anyway and offer an apology for not knowing what else to get her? He really was terrible at this. Of the precious people he had, Tenten was probably the only one that received gifts she actually liked- mostly because she was often mollified by any piece of weaponry he found on a mission she might not have in her collection yet, and shinobi were very creative when it came to weapons modification.

And next year he's have to add Temari to the short list of people he hunted down gifts for every year. He'd really have to learn more about her personal interests before that happened.

But first, there was Hinata's birthday to contend with, and Neji's deep contemplation was interrupted by the sudden arrival of his teammate. He turned, expression barely shifting in the transition from contemplative to puzzled- both were frowns that only differed in the tightness of his brows. But as he took in his teammate, he shrugged and turned back to the stand of finely crafted wares. He was getting desperate, and the merchant impatient.

"I suppose I could use a second opinion. What do you think Hinata-sama might appreciate for her birthday?"

"There's no need to be so mo--" Lee started to say, entirely prepared to squirm his way into his honored rival and teammate's current dilemma and by extension his heart. But then he stopped dead in his tracks, words faltering mid-sentence as his mind scrambled to catch up with Neji's open invitation for Lee's aid, his already fairly large eyes widening further still in shock.

Shock which quickly transformed into awe and delight.

"Oh, I see...!! You are shopping for your esteemed cousin's birthday! I would be more than glad to offer my assistance!" he exclaimed all at once, rushing up to join Neji properly as he, too, perused the wares. He admittedly knew little of Hinata himself, only that she was a sweet girl with a sunny disposition he admired now and then from afar. Still, though he did not know the gift's intended recipient well, he did think of himself as knowing a thing or two about gift-giving. He had learned from the best, after all!

"Well, an effective present should be something the recipient wants, but also clearly have come from uniquely you!" he explained as he stroked his chin, intensely surveying the items laid out before them.

"That is to say, when she looks at it, ideally it will invoke thoughts of her beloved cousin, Neji, and bring an immediate smile to her face! That is why Gai-sensei and myself like to give gifts of our very own spandex suits...!" he elaborated, giving a sage nod at his excellent illustration of his point. "They are practical, comfortable, and bring us strongly to mind! So...!"

Grinning broadly, Lee reached out to pluck up a fine, fluffy stuffed owl toy, one with a strong, discerning brow line fairly reminiscent of a certain serious-faced Hyuuga in their midst.

"Aha! But wait--!!"

Seeming to ponder some missing detail with the object at hand, Lee glanced between it and Neji several times before reaching out and physically absconding with Neji's forehead protector, affixing it to the stuffed owl's head instead.

"There! Now it's perfect! It's a striking resemblance, don't you think?"
