Sunshineverse

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.

Pengin wasn't exactly certain just why he was the one who was sent to pick up, well, whatever item it was that Umigami needed and didn't trust anyone else to get. His leader was really odd sometimes when it came to such things, but it was nice that he actually felt he could trust him to go out and do such and not coddle him like some of the other Maniwa like to do.

Though, he did wish he had been given more information then somewhere in Fire Country, and think of it as a good intelligence gathering exercise. This country was really big and well there was only so far his feet could take him for a certain length of time. Which was why it was becoming a bit regular to see a small child dressed like a penguin sitting on a rock or tree stump now and again to rest and figure out which way to go next. Sometimes he even had a scroll or several sheets of paper out to read and check off items as he went.

With just as hazy a goal - that being, find one particular person whose last known address was 'the Country of Fire' with only a name and a description to go by - Konayuki's travels were roughly as circuitous as Pengins.

Which made their eventual meeting almost fated. Perhaps, in a way, Konayuki herself counted as some kind of reverse missile, as she bounded up to the other child sat on the stump. What was he doing? Some kind of diary, it looked like.

"Hello!"

The flail and slight jump/skip/hop thing that just happened was likely hilarious to look at. Though Pengin was more focused on the fact his heart attempted to escape just then.

"U-uhm, Hel...Hello?"

Maybe it's not too late to go hide in a tree.

"What are you doing?" She attempted to peer at the paper, and then realised that she'd never be able to do that whilst he was seated and she was on the ground. So, to fix that as simply as possible, she hopped up onto the tree stump beside him. It creaked alarmingly, until she remembered to drop her pack back down and it was able to settle under the drastically reduced weight.

"Is that a letter?"

"N-no, it's not a letter. T-they're lists of p-places I've checked already for something. That is uhm, just n-notes."

He really should be more alarmed by the whole weight thing but considering some of those he claims as clan-kin...instead he's more freaked out that fellow child is in his space bubble.

"Wh-what are you doing out here?"

"I'm looking for someone," she answered readily, dropping down to sit beside him. "He lives in this country, but I forgot to ask where... I didn't think of making a list at all!" She was impressed, clearly.

Feet kicking against the tree, she tried to get a proper look at his notes. "What's your name?"

"Do y-ou know what your person does? Sometimes that c-can help find out where t-they might live."

Social Awkwardness can be forgotten if it means being helpful. Look he wants to help you now in his odd way.

"O-oh m-m-my name? It's Pengin of t-the Maniwa clan. N-nice to meet you."

He'll just vibrate and thus accidentally shuffle those papers you are trying to look at while attempting to be more like a turtle and hide in his hat and neck ruff.

Oh well, he was more interesting than the papers anyway. Her focus shifted appropriately, and she giggled as he ducked into his ruff. His outfit looked so much like the birds that lived on the coast that he didn't even feel that strange, and it was fun to be the older one for once.

Or at least, she assumed she was older. And didn't bother waiting for a correction.

"Pengin-chan, right? It's nice to meet you! I'm Konayuki of the Itezora. And that person is an, um, a shinobi." That was most of her information, and she gave it proudly.

He won't really bother to find out who really is older, he's pretty much used to being the baby of any group and speaking up about it would be rude and Oshidori-san would never let him be rude to anyone, especially not a girl.

"A-ah yes K-k-konayuki-san."

He pops a little out of his hiding because well that actually helps a lot in him at least pointing her in the right direction. One of them doesn't have to be so hopelessly lost now.

"T-then he may b-be in K-konohagakure. T-that's where shinobi for Fire live. So, well it would be the best place t-to look."

"Konohagakure... A village hidden in trees?" She looks off in the direction he's pointing, almost expecting the gates to appear out of the forest. When, inevitably, they don't, she notes the direction by scuffing a little mark into the ground in front of them, then refocuses on their conversation.

"Thank you very much. Might I ask what you're looking for? I can help in return. Ah, but not by giving directions, because I've never been here before..."

He wasn't exactly ready for that sudden change in this. It was one thing to help someone else, it was another to suddenly being asked if he needed help and there being potential he would have to do more then a bare minimum in regards to a conversation.

"Eh! I t-that is K-konayuki-san, you, you don't have t-to do t-that. You're going t-to see someone important to you and, and..."

And he just buries himself right back into his neck ruff.

"I-i don't want t-to k-keep you from that."

Because important people are special and he doesn't want to keep her from seeing hers just because his family leader was testing him or something. After all, it had to be someone special and important for her to be looking for them all the way out here. Oh no, he may be wrong and was jumping to conclusions and he hope he didn't offend her doing that.

"I-i-i'm sorry if t-that's not right, but it sounds like an important person."

Test Drive!
