Test Drive Post!

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.

"If you could not, you would not have come so far as a shinobi of Kiri." He brushed the words away quickly, obviously not caring. "It's a shame your civilian connections leave you... a liability."

He stared down at her, green eyes intense, sharply evaluating her. "You have stagnated in the year since we last spoke."

True or not, he was sure the statement would get the results out of her that he wanted, since it seemed true enough to him.

"I did." She readjusted the strap of her dress, which had been skewed by the weight of the basket. "There's a nice little meadow a few hundred yards away. Level, with one large oak, and a sparse treeline." Easily defensible, but with enough shade to be comfortable. Also a rather difficult place to sneak up on, which just went to show that a shinobi on vacation was still very much a shinobi.

"Unless you have a better idea?"

"Something more useful." He once again avoided him, examining the technique with sharp eyes. "Something less predictable."

He peered at her for a moment, then shook his head and turned, immediately stating in the correct direction, though she hadn't overtly pointed it out. A flick of the eyes was enough for him to be able to tell, after all, and he carried the basket with him.

"No, I think your idea works fine."

He took a swing with the water whip, trying to catch Sephiroth's leg. "It's just not that useful." And the Kashimas tried to avoid having children likely to get it. Maybe if it was more useful they'd do the opposite and develop it into a bloodline instead of just an oddity.

"Like hell I have!" He was pushing her buttons perfectly nudging at every crack in her pride until it was slowly breaking away. It was annoying and unfair and she hated it.

Yuffie didn't care if he was faster.. stronger or whatever. He was a jerk and she wasn't the type to just stand for his brand of insults. She flicked her dangers into her palm throwing them towards the silver haired tyrant in a smooth fluid motion.

"Fine, fine." Yuffie didn't like being scolded even when she knew that this woman was right. She was angry and annoyed and it was hard to find an outlet for the feelings that kept bubbling up in her chest. Added to the fact that Yuffie wasn't the sort to ask for help.

She walked over to the nearest wire placing a heel on one of the points with a grim expression. The wire snapped and coiled up at the base of the tree. "There all set up like that." Which she had designed on purpose in case someone tried to use her traps against her.

Naoki recognized Yuffie's style of trap making as he walked calmly along the path. They hadn't spent much time together on Sephiroth's squad before she was rotated out, but Naoki was very good at learning his teammate's abilities and how to best work with them.

It was harder to pick out the sounds of someone else's breathing and heartbeat when he wasn't using the silent killong technique to be absolutely noiseless himself. Even then, he was ready, using Kiri-shunshin to flicker over to her general area as the blades flew and she leaped away.

"Having fun, Yuffie-chan?"

Boredom; but then she wasn't about to say that out loud. There were actually a lot of reasons the rebellious princess was out causing mayhem to those unfortunate enough to walk by. She was angry and annoyed and she found very strange ways to vent her frustrations.

She shrugged putting her hands in her pocket as if unguarded. She wasn't about to let her guard dropped around some random dude she just met and tried to ensnare. Without showing it she moved a blade from her pocket into the palm on her hand, her eyes trained on the stranger.

"Just.. doin' stuff. Figured anyone traveling this road would be.." Bad. She assumed those who were traveling this way would be related to those who took her island, or at least that was how she saw the water's protection.

She might have recognized him a little but then Yuffie wasn't so good with names and faces. When she called her she couldn't help but smile dropping down from her hiding spot over head.

"Oh, hey."

She put her arms behind her head with a wide smile. "What's up?" She wasn't about to mention all the traps she had laid out nor was she about to put any of them down.

"Just heading back. No missions today?" Yuffie really was going to get in trouble one of these days, but Naoki wasn't going to argue with her about setting traps outside training areas. On the other hand, leaving traps on the training ground would be good surprises for genin and students.

Yuffie shifted her weight between her heels and her toes with a smile. "Nope." She was bored and traps were something she enjoyed. That and Stalking people but she's gotten yelled at for that many times in the past.

"So what's up?" She jumped up to one of the wires she had set up and lazily started to walked across it. She was't good at sitting still.

Visiting Karin had been nice, she thought. It was pretty cool to see how far Uzushio had come in its rebuilding efforts since she had last been there as well, and the smile on the chuunin's face was nothing short of obvious to the world as she visited. Her Konoha hitai-ate was proudly on display as she visited the stalls, unable to help enjoying the warm reception from everyone around because of their closely allied villages. It wasn't forced like with other villages, at least not that Adela felt - no, it was more like they were truly on friendly terms.

That was when she managed to find some time alone in one of the buildings, a gentle sigh leaving her as she looked at all the books around. A library, but she sincerely doubted she'd find anything classified in there. Probably historical scrolls, or maybe the odd fictional book or two. What she wasn't expecting to see was another shinobi in there, however.

And what a pile he(?) was looking through! The red head whistled low as she approached, glancing to the pile around her with clear intrigue. When she was finally close enough, Naoto would be met with a comment from her that was more impressed than anything else, "You're doing a lot of reading here today. Studying up or just for fun?"

These shinobi might be the key to getting the tribe a foothold in the greater world, as little as Gale wants to rely on them. He doesn't trust them not to use the Embryon for their own wants. After all, they'd nearly done that to their allied tribes during the war. In hindsight Gale is ...pleased he was overruled and prevented from betrayal. Bat and his actions make Gale almost not hungry when he thinks about it. Words float to the surface; "curdling his stomach." Though why those words, he's not sure. His stomach isn't milk.

But he understands Argilla, and her concern. These shinobi were more than an unknown. At least they had years of battle against the other tribes to base their strategy on. They know less than nothing about these strangers. It's a disadvantage, and it makes Gale want to bare and clench his teeth. But he doesn't, because the shinobi could arrive at any moment.

"I understand. But we will persevere." It's all he can offer, even though he knows it's not enough.

Gale knows about summoning in the same vague way that he knows most of the creatures on this island are summons. It's distant, and the points of information float unconnected in his mind, but the words come easily enough, and after the concepts solidify.

Still, when he sees the woman coming closer on the back of that creature, his first thought is the same as Vayu's: food. Gale shakes his head once, sharply. He's eaten recently enough, but it still makes his mouth water.

He's swallowing the saliva down when more creatures appear in smoke and he knows without knowing how that summoning requires blood, which only makes it worse. That woman would be a meal, if she were an enemy. He hisses a breath past clenched teeth and presses his fingers against the bridge of his nose until he's in control again.

"She is displaying her power." He says it softly to Argilla. It makes sense. A display of power to keep an unknown from attacking. Yet Vayu just wants to attack her more.

"A miscalculation," he adds quietly, trusting Argilla has had a similar reaction.

But he stands still and calm when the woman reaches them, not trusting her expression or her bow. Kirigakure. Hidden in Mist. He doesn't have anything else to grasp at about it, except how quickly they responded to the missive. Greedy. Or afraid, perhaps. He needs more information.

He watches the newcomer. She's strong, he can tell, noting muscle and flesh. It's hard for Gale to keep his gaze from lingering. Vayu hisses without actual words in his head that he and Argilla could share. All that muscle, with just a little softness for flavor, and-- He blinks away the image of her bloody hand and focuses on her face again. The hunger is there, and while he didn't lose control, he gave away something he shouldn't have. She'll know that he hungers for her flesh, once she gets enough evidence, and that could easily be used against him.

"I am Gale of the Embryon. You have our permission."

Master Swordsman? Hah, hardly. Young, talented, dedicated - a long way off any sort of mastery. But the comment would, at least, get a faint smile for a split second - it'd be nice to be able to call himself that, after all.

"Just checkin' up on what's happenin'," he replied, simply, looking at the other departing. Yeah, someone didn't look happy. "Everythin' looks clear. When're we movin' on?"

1 - Being an Amusing Old Man/Tourist

He seems quiet and unassuming, with an enigmatic smile offered to any of those who look too closely. Kenobi knows he's been away from civilization for far too long, but it doesn't stop him from being overly polite, taking great pains to not hide his age or his quietude. He is simply a traveller passing through, awed at all the ~~newfangled~~ feats of various ninja hopping about cities, eyes observing carefully, but not too closely, and just as likely to spend his time staring and inspecting a ripe piece of fruit as he is when looking at a particularly well-balanced blade at a weapon's stall.

Some of it is trying to absorb everything. Trying to catch up with the world that has moved on ahead and dwell in those simple pleasures of life. And some of it is living up to that reputation of a very polite, if crazy, old man.

2 - Openly in Meditation

A sight one might stumble upon in any country, though the farther you get from the Land of Lightning the less likely you are to find him. It's almost odd, how he sits peacefully in the midst of whatever terrain, eyes closed and seemingly at full rest. Those who are very clever (or very paranoid) will note how while he strays into other countries, he is very careful to remain forever outside what might be considered a ninja village's outer limits, coasting easily just along the border of 'reasonably neutral territory'.

He is very still, remaining unperturbed by petty natural disturbances, and the wildlife of an area seem very content to leave well enough alone. But whatever he's doing, the feeling of chakra at work can be hard to ignore if one is sufficiently adept at reading it. He is a man perfectly in sync with his natural surroundings, the energy around him flowing through and in, absorbed and recombined and released in sync with his very regular breathing—a man at peace.

Even so, a sword rests not far from where his hands are loosely resting over his folded ankles.

3 - Choose your own adventure!

More than most of his peers, Naoki did his best to familiarize himself with important names from other villages. It got as much a reaction as it would have had he not recognized the name, just a quiet acknowledgement. "It's nice to meet you, Uchiha-sama."

His only prior interaction with the Uchiha clan had been to participate in a chuunin exam with Sasuke, and he had been disappointed they didn't get an opportunity to face one another. "I hope we have an opportunity to meet again sometime."

Naoki shrugged, and decided he owed her for that surprise attack. Working to catch Sephiroth had greatly improved his speed with certain ninjutsu, so while he usually utilized this wind release ninjutsu to make a whirlwind that dropped someone in the air to the ground, this time he turned it to other way in an attempt to launch Yuffie into the air.

It was more polite than cutting her wires, at least.

Juugo is on a mission doing border patrol, and he's doing it in the air this time, because he's not about risking being in another body again. That and the rain on his wings, and his friends flying along with him is nice. He doesn't need to be on the ground to feel people and animals nearby, and focuses on that as he goes in carefully meandering circles along the border of Rain, occasionally just outside, and occasionally just inside.

Then he feels something that nearly makes him drop out of the sky. When he recovers he lands quickly, and edges closer and closer to the feeling until he sees an older looking man just sitting serenely on a small rise. Juugo stops behind some jagged rocks and peeks out shyly, watching with a lost expression.

Why do you feel like me, he wants to ask, but this is a stranger, and very close to Rain. What if it's an enemy? But what if his instinct is correct and it's someone like him, maybe even with his curse?

Kanji completely gets not showing weakness. But at the same time, he sure doesn't think this person's any sort of a threat. His replies are cool and measured all the way.

"We're just tourin' the borders." He names a couple of civilian villages in the nearby vicinity. This isn't the sort of thing that's heading anywhere too sensitive, as far as he knows.

To all appearances, the man meditating has no awareness of his watcher at all. His breathing has not changed. nor his posture, and his eyes are still closed wholly to his environment. He does not move, does not shift, does not make any indication of the presence near him at all. None, that is, save that he speaks, and Kenobi's voice is warm, and welcoming.

"Come here, young one. Do not be afraid."

Meanwhile, Kenobi will bask in the feeling of this unknown presence. It has been so long since he has been around other people, much less those he might call kin, and the distinctive way they are bright in the chakra landscape around him is comforting. Even if this one still seems to have much to learn, all his excess energy seemingly without bounds.

"Sit with me."

In the normal way of things, Nori finds himself on the opposite end of a friendly game of catch the thief. Arguably one of his favorite past times given just how frequently these little chases were. He was usually good enough not to be seen, but sometimes it was just good exercise to 'slip up' and fly along rooftops, jump over walls and cram his body into small spaces that normal-sized folk wouldn't be able to manage.

If there happens to be a bit of a dangerous thrill to all of it, well that's just a bonus.

It's how he winds up diving to the floor of a market stall, under the counter and adjusting the cloth to obscure most of him from immediate view. His only tells are his boots if anyone cares to look down, but he happens to be in luck and there's an older man standing in front of the stall at the moment.

"Nice shoes," the stall most definitely not containing a thief whispers.

Edited (what is tense consistency) 2015-03-27 22:43 (UTC)

"Thank you."

Kenobi is trying really hard not to chuckle. It is a Very Strong and Masterful Urge, that is luckily able to overcome, though the humor certainly hasn't left his voice as he shifts his stance subtly to further block said most-certainly-not-a-thief from view with the long length of his own cloak.

He takes his time as he eyes over the wares, and waves the stall owner off with a kind old smile and assurances that he will be 'quite fine, thank you,' when a barrel of said owner's stock suddenly tips over and goes spilling out into the street. He keeps his gaze switching back and forth from the merchandise on the stall table and the owner gathering up his stock, while muttering to himself the way old folks do.

"I don't suppose I'll get a name with my compliments?"

She nods, still looking pleased, and considers the question. On one hand, she'd like to be in the finals herself, but there were obstacles that prevented that this time.

"They will be interesting to watch and to analyze the fighting styles of the participants," Naoto answers at last. It will be good information. She might end up opposing some of them on missions someday, though she hopes not. As much as Naoto wants to be tough and a good ninja, doesn't doesn't want the kind of war that might end up becoming.
