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.

She felt the air rush from her lungs as the hard metal contacted her small frame. She was usually quick enough to dodge out of the way but making her almost defenseless when she gets hit.

Yuffie quickly looked up at the woman feeling the pressure on her neck. She steadied her breath waiting for the woman to move. Hearing the stranger call her name gave her pause. She had run from home trying to leave her relations behind and yet someone knew her.

She could only assume this would end poorly. "Fine. What do you want then?"

"Just to give a bit of advice, really." Nanako said, with a warm, gentle expression that was a sharp—no pun intended—contrast to the evil looking blade that didn't waver so much as a millimeter. "Keep this sort of thing out of areas where civilians might wander. If they get hurt, you will be persecuted as a criminal, despite your lineage." Or perhaps, because of her lineage was a better way to put it.

The daimyo of Water country wasn't exactly the kindest of men, and any chance to bleed concessions out of the newest state under its protection would likely be leapt upon.

"Now!" In the space of a blink the naginata was gone, and Nanako was clapping her hands together serenely. "Why don't I help you clean this all up? Wire has a tendency to kink up terribly if you aren't careful about unwinding and maintaining it."

"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.

"Hm." Nanako said, because she was the closest thing Sephiroth had to a mother and this child's sulky face struck her as cute. Some things rubbed off over time, like stoking flames with the tiniest of actions. She briefly tensed and then—

The rest of the wires were neatly coiled and hanging in a thick, even loop from two slender fingers.

Yuffie looked up expectantly wondering why she was staying so quiet. She was doing what she was told which was a rare case in and of it's own. "So?" She gestured around them indicating to the disarmed traps. There hadn't been many so it was easy for Yuffie to unhitch them all quickly.

"It's done." She crossed her arms over her chest. "Now what? You going to report me?" That was usually the way of it and Yuffie didn't much care for authority.

"I'm off the clock." She shrugged, smiling genially. She wouldn't be above-ground if she wasn't, after all. "And you haven't caused anybody any troubles, so I don't see any need." She paused, swinging the thick coil of wire around her finger thoughtfully.

"Besides, I'm one of the people you would have been reported to, after a fashion." She tossed the wire back to its owner.

Yuffie felt her shoulders tense at her last comment. She didn’t know her but now it made perfect sense how she knew Yuffie. At this point all of the higher ups knew Yuffie, at least by reputation. She caught the wire easily sliding it into her backpack with a nervous grunt.

“Riiight. So what then?” She was getting defensive not really sure what to say. She knew what others said about her and she didn’t want to deal with it. Not now.. not ever.

"Well," said Nanako thoughtfully. "I had been planning to go get dinner and visit the hot springs." She rubbed her chin, as if internally weighing how she wanted to work around that. She had already made up her mind, however. "Would you care to join me, Kisaragi-chan?"

Yuffie paused and then looked at the woman with a skeptical stare. "Are you going to pay for it?" She spoke slowly as if unsure weather or not she should really trust the woman before her.

Though it wouldn't hurt to make a friend. More so if she really was the one people went to when they needed to complain about Yuffie.

"I extended the invitation," Nanako said, smiling genially. "As a lady, it would be the height of disrespect to expect my guest to pay for herself." The first time at least, but that wasn't exactly relevant at the moment. She had plenty of money stowed away that she never got to use, though, so she hardly minded footing the bill.

For getting more information about such an... interesting girl, it was a more than fair trade.

Yuffie shrugged. "Alright. Lead the way." She gestured her arm to the side quickly realizing she had no idea where they were headed. She knew of a few places in this area but it had sounded like this woman had something particular in mind.

She took a step forward swinging her arms by her sides but never truly letting her guard down.

"What do I call you anyway?"
