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.

And what a deadly pair the duo certainly made, even by their blood line standards, Kimimaro and Haku were progenies in their own right. Living breathing tools of war that were blessed with begrudging, envious and fearful respect from their peers. A loner his entire life, it was quite a shock to have seen him gravitate towards Haku in the manner in which he did, becoming nearly inseparable from him. So, naturally, Kimimaro wouldn't have spent his free time in any other way but by Haku's side

In concerning their surroundings, the young man held strong to the same beliefs of his companion. The Leaf village, as far as he was concerned, had grown fat and lazy from all of their years of economic growth and booming trade from the surrounding villages that had practically handed over life giving materials on a silver platter. Even the nation's poor held better life standards over than the working middle class of the Mist. This notion infuriated the boy to no end, finding such gluttonous needs of the nation to be overly selfish and a breeding ground for producing weak Shinobi.

However, his disgust would be shelled away for the time being, such emotions were unbecoming in times of precious leisure and the last thing that Kimimaro wanted was to be in a foul mood. His fingertips glazed over the soft petals, seemingly very pleased with the amount of texture that he felt against them. Judging from the various species of plants along with their overall health, it was quite easy to determined that someone would religiously tend to the open ended garden. Catching onto Haku's statement rather quickly, Kimimaro passed the white petals, heading in part to the small bushels of lavender that accented the garden.

"A true representation of the Village," He spoke in such a dry, disapproving tone as his eyes flickered over the sweet smelling petals.

"Built to attract and to awe, but unable to handle anything harsher than a mild Summer's day."

Unfortunately for Haku, he was already in a far awful mood just by being in this place. The garden helped, certainly, but he still wasn't terribly interested in staying in this place for too long. While there wasn't much for him to do back in their own village, it was still more... safe, in a way. Able to take care of his small garden he'd been allowed, growing things that he knew would survive the storms and cold that tended to hang over the village like a heavy wet blanket.

The lavender he couldn't help but snort at, shaking his head at all of it. Sweet smelling flowers were nice and all, but this just screamed trying too hard, to him. Moving to his companion's side he leaned against his side just a tiny bit, amused by the dry tone of his words. He knew very well that he held the same feelings he did on the matter of this village.

"Why we have... peace with this village is beyond me, we really have nothing to gain. Though I suppose the Mizukage has his reasons, even if the Hokage is... pathetic for having a bloodline as powerful as they say."

Haku in a foul mood always led to two possible outcomes, entertainment or catastrophic. Unfortunately for most, it looked like it was dangerously hinging on the later. Not wanting to bother with going through the miles of red tape involving his superiors with damaged property and loss of civilian life, Kimimaro took the monstrous task of quelling Haku's mood for the greater good.

Sweet smelling flowers were showy, often prissy little trinkets. Always for show and rarely ever for practical use, it didn't shock him that those types of flowers littered the surrounding area. Ah, what Kimi wouldn't give to actually be amidst Haku's garden, the soft earthy smell of his herbs were always a welcome distraction from the world around him. At Haku's words, however, a low sort of smirk made its way a crossed his stoic features.

"I wouldn't go as far as to say we received nothing from our talks of peace. The parchment the presented us with will make for a very ironic center piece within the Mizukage's office while they sign away everything they gluttonously hold near and dear to them."

Such open casual talk was very dangerous, tip toeing the line of treason even, but yet Kimimaro held no fear for the repercussions of his actions. What did he have to fear from the truth?

"Is he as emotionally pathetic as they say? I barely spared a moment in listening to him speak to the group."

Probably for the best, given that his mood was just going lower the more he saw of the 'pretty' flowers that were very obviously trying to just be showy. This showing coupled with his feelings on Konoha in general were souring his disposition, making him quite the little powder keg if he wasn't quelled soon enough. Which, of course, did mean that red tape would be inevitable and probably cause a rift between Konoha and Kiri bigger than had been needed or was necessary.

Herbs were always something he grew, knowing fully that the scent was gorgeous amongst the normal smell of their village and a calming sort of effect. It just helped even more that they were useful little things, quelling various ailments as well as being nice additions to various foods if there was nothing else to use them for. Not just showy gifts like these flowers were, certainly not, Haku was nothing but practical in his means.

A soft laugh slipped past pursed lips with Kimimaro's assessment, nodding his head in agreement with him. "Certainly would put egg on their face, no?"

On the topic of the Hokage, however... "Exactly as they say, he was late to his little speech as well. It was pathetic and disgusting to watch, I'm surprised the Mizukage even spared him the time of day."
