When the comforts of civilization begin to dull our senses, we must never forget that in the beginning, there was war. And war. And more war. Long before there were empires, there were humans consumed with greed and the hunger for power. Resources, territories, information—these were the forms of sustenance upon which we preyed. Today, we call such habits vices. Oh, how arrogant we have become! Are we not still impelled by those primordial emotions? Is the advent of war so far-fetched? But alas, for you to truly understand, we must dive deeper into this land’s half-forgotten past.
There was a time when might was the only law that humankind knew. Fearsome clans roamed throughout the land, seeking amenable grounds within which they could take root and opposing forces against whom they could test their mettle. Given the irregularity of nature’s bounty, certain regions appealed more than others, and dominion over such coveted territories became the spark that ignited the earliest inter-clan wars. These fierce, internecine affairs tended to conclude only when one side had decimated their competition into oblivion, and many clans of story were rendered extinct during this period.
The victors of war, having claimed their territories, often made truces with surrounding locals, offering protection in exchange for access to the yields of agriculture. Over time, certain communities emerged as more dominant than others, either due to numbers or sheer talent, and their rapid expansion would force smaller, neighboring communities to either collapse into their fold or be devastated. When the dust settled, humankind found itself divided into the five major territories that we are familiar with today. And was the bloodshed over? With our lands obtained and our bellies filled, were we finally content?

A P P E A R A N C E --What's he look like?
not the body of a ninja; carved in pursuit of an outside skill. the body of a monk is forged in the fire of self-control and discipline of that very body and the soul that commands it. ojo has been forging since childhood. sizing him up from sole to crown, three things will stand out most; his scruffy facial hair, his vibrant blue eyes and his sturdy build. a tall man, not a lean man. ojo in most opinions is considered to be 'stocky'. what dense and honed muscle he has is partly obscured in body fat (the food in ninja villages can be quite fattening). always in pants, never in shorts. the only thing that beats a good tabi boot is a stylish sneaker. although most of his suits for forgework are full-bodied, because of his birth region's climate and his monk upbringing he enjoys letting his skin breathe more often than not, namely his arms and chest.
P E R S O N A -- Who is he?
it was incumbent on the monks who raised ojo to teach him their way; the path below earth. innate humility, foundational strength, selfless support. he took in these lessons and traits as well as anyone raised under them. despite his bloody induction to the Avalanche Shinobi Temple, he grew up a clever yet considerate boy. always looking to make something better or understand something deeper, his ability to empathize (and engineer) grew as he did. as diligent and earnest as he was in his studies, his training and his chores, nothing made his eyes light up more than the elders' tales and fables of the outside world. the incredible jutsu of all elements and beyond, reality defying weapons and tools, battles so grand they redefined the landscapes and changed cultures forever; these were the tales that always got his ear and he was always willing to work a little harder to learn just more piece of world lore. as he grew from a boy with full heart and a bottomless curiosity he became a man whose interests and talents make him unique to his brethren and elders. someone who might best serve their shared home and his own adult development not confined to the temple pondering life, but rather traveling the world and living it himself.
S T O R Y L I N E -- Where's he going, where's he been?
there's more than one way to live a life worth its ending. largely untamed and highly undomesticated Tsuchi no Kuni is a wild scape of nature and lawlessness. few structures ever existed and fewer still remain standing to modern day. the Nadare Nindera has stood for generations and is a safe haven for those with compassionate souls and good hearts who survive the wilds to find the great stony steps of the temple.
(2) ojo akabba did not climb the steps his first time ascending them but rather he was carried, as most toddlers were in moments of haste. (15) he did not descend the stony steps until thirteen years had passed; when his training allowed him to fend for himself in the outside world. exploration is largely denied by the elders but after a visit from a wandering vendor the adolescent took up an interest in working as a ninja craftsman. ninsou do not traditionally concern themselves with the pursuits of the material world but having resources in order would serve to keep the temple standing in the event the daimyo was no longer able to provide them with simple financial support they do require. so it was an arrangement was made for the young monk to travel to Hi no Kuni by way of the Amado Sea. (17) once arrived it was his task to visit the capital city in order to learn the trade of the craftsman.
(18) after apprenticing for little more than one year ojo was caught in a random encounter in which raiders tried to attack the shop where he was studying. by chance the attack was interrupted by patrolling ninja from Konohagakure no Sato. however in the process his master was killed and the shop was destroyed. placed under sensory depravation jutsu the monk was brought back to the hidden village for questioning but also answering, on how he might continue his journey to become a full fledged ninja craftsman. as a foreigner to not just the village but the country, and with no one to vouch for him ojo was first tasked with proving his valor and intention by getting the approval of the ninsou of Hi no Kuni at their temple; Dai Yaketa Hai no Jiin. he returned to Konoha escorted by the ninsou who indeed vouched for him and the village opened its arms to welcome him formally.
for three years (21) he lived as contractor; a foreigner sanctioned to work in the village as a civilian but not an official citizen. after completing his apprenticeship to become a full fledged Takumi gaining trust and history in the village along the way, he was allowed to apply to partake in ninja missions (to pay for his crafting equipment and test his works in the field). the Hokage allowing him the access but only on missions that had no political implications, didn't compromise sensitive information about the village, no assassinations and only those missions his rank would normally allow for. to ascertain his rank, ojo was tested to the limitations of his body, mind and resolve. in the end the cabinet of the Hokage were satisfied enough to allow him the equivalent rank of special-jounin so that he might partake of any mission that didn't violate the other restrictions. although he lacked the battle experience and combat strength traditionally required of Jounin, special-Jounin requirements were more lax and his sheer knowledge and professional skills made him more than qualified for the special ranking.
so he has lived for four years (25) taking on selective missions and making tools and weapons (mostly tools and armors) for the local ninja and citizens. his custom armor-vests have become a go-to fashion item among some of the village's ninja elite and orders are backing up. now most recent of all, he seeks to build a shop in the village and train an apprentice of his own so that he might ease the transition of his exit from the village.

Before becoming full fledged Genin, each aspiring shinobi must first pass the shinobi academy. Aside from the obvious lessons one would learn from a Ninja Academy, all students receive essential knowledge, such as reading, writing, mathematics, science, geography, etc. Even kunouichi are given valuable lessons, taught things about other cultures and how knowledge of things like flower arranging will help them to blend in during an infiltration mission. Special lectures read by highly experienced shinobi are sometimes held.
Taught mostly by Chuunin instructors, all ninja potentials are lectured on tactics and strategies. They are instructed on the basics of trap-setting, and taken through the handling of ninja weapons and tools, like shuriken and kunai, learning how to throw and wield them through target practice.
Taijutsu classes serve as the Ninja Academy's equivalent of Physical education class. In taijutsu class, students are engaged in physical activities to help train their bodies and develop their stamina.Ninjutsu classes provide the bulk of what potential ninja learn at the Academy. The subject of Ninjutsu encompasses techniques that use chakra and allows the user to do something that they otherwise would be incapable of doing.
Techniques such as the Transformation Technique and the Clone Technique are taught to students at the Academy that will build up to what they'll learn from their Jounin sensei. Finally, Genjutsu classes are not touched much upon except for explaining wha each juttsu is. When learning about genjutsu, students are advised to determine if they are trapped in a genjutsu, and then how to release themselves from it. These Techniques do not take up a slot.
Kawarimi no Jutsu (Body Replacement Technique) Rank: E Range: Close (0m ~ 5m) Type: Supplementary Handseals: 0 Chakra Consumption: Low Kawarimi no Jutsu is an Academy Ninjutsu technique. When in danger the user will quickly substitute themself with another nearby object - generally a block of wood, but sometimes even another person - the moment an attack lands. This creates an optical illusion, making the enemy think the attack was successful. From this, the user can use the lapse in the enemy's attention to attack or flee from the battlefield. Explosvie tags can be attached to the placement for an added surprise!
Note: Switch is near-instantaneous. The technique can only be used once per turn.
Henge no Jutsu (Transformation Technique) Rank: E Range: Close (0m ~ 5m) Type: Supplementary Handseals: 3 Chakra Consumption: Low, Low (upkeep) Henge no Jutsu is an Academy Ninjutsu technique. After performing a set of handseals, the user takes on the form of another object, whether it be an animal, plant, or inanime object. This transformation is exactly like the genuine article, so it is impossible to tell the two apart without special methods.
Note: The user can transform themself into an object of average, small, or miniature size. This means that one cannot Henge into a bijuu, summon, or other gigantic object.
Bunshin no Jutsu (Clone Technique) Rank: E Range: Close (0m ~ 5m) Type: Supplementary Handseals: 3 Chakra Consumption: Low (per clone) Bunshin no Jutsu is an Academy Ninjutsu technique. After performing a set of handseals, the user creates an intangible copy of themselves. This clone has no substance, so it is not able to attack, and thus can only be used to confuse the enemy. It is mainly used in combination with other ninjutsu. These clones can be easily distinguished by opponents with doujutsu, but even opponents with normals eyes can tell tell it apart from the original if they are observant, as the clone does not have a shadow and will not disrupt the area around themselves with their movement. As soon as this clone comes in contact with an opponent or gets attacked, it will disperse. Note: The clone's movement speed is equal to the user's. Bunshin cannot mold chakra to perform jutsu, nor can they physically harm an opponent.
Kakuremino no Jutsu (Cloak of Invisibility Technique) Rank: E Range: Close (0m ~ 5m) Type: Supplementary Handseals: - Chakra Consumption: Low, Low (upkeep) Kakuremino no Jutsu is an Academy Ninjutsu technique that allows the user to take a cloak or a piece of cloth and infuse it with their chakra, allowing them to blend into the background. This creates an optical illusion where the user is basically invisible to the naked eye.
Note: No other techniques can be used while disguised.
Nawanuke no Jutsu (Rope Escape Technique) Rank: E Range: Close (0m ~ 5m) Type: Supplementary Chakra Consumption: - Handseals: Low Nawanuke no Jutsu is an Academy Ninjutsu technique. Should the user be tied up by normal ropes, they can exert a small amount of chakra to free their bindings and effectively escape. Note: Ineffective against complex, electronic, or unique binds.
Kinobori no Waza (Act of Tree Climbing) Rank: E Range: Close (0m ~ 5m) Type: Supplementary Handseals: - Chakra Consumption: Low, Low (upkeep) Kinobori no Waza is an Academy Ninjtusu technique. By focusing a small amount of chakra to the bottom of their feet, the user can climb a tree (or other vertical wall) without utilizing their hands. This technique has a dual purpose, since it is the perfect way to increase skills with chakra control - if the stream of chakra is too weak, the user will loose their footing; if the stream is too strong, the user will be pushed away from the surface.
Suimen Hokou no Waza (Act of Water Surface Walking) Rank: E Range: Close (0m ~ 5m) Type: Supplementary Handseals: - Chakra Consumption: Low, Low (upkeep) Suimen Hokou no Waza is an Academy Ninjutsu technique, and is a variant of Kinobori no Waza. By emitting a constant stream of chakra from the bottom of their feet and using this repellent force, the user is able to walk across the water's surface. This technique is vastly more difficult than its counterpart because the amount of chakra that needs to be focused changes constantly, but it helps to build chakra control in the user. After much practice, it is even possible to 'skate' across the water's surface instead of just walking or running.
Note: The user must know Kinobori no Waza in order to use this technique..
Several families are feared within the shinobi world for the abilities that their members are born with. Some have a natural affinity to the elements whilst others have unique biological builds up which gives them an edge. However, no ability is as simple and yet as feared as that of the Akadou; a Shinobi clan well renowned for generations due to their capacity to leech and extract chakra from the bodies of others for their own gain.
Special Trait: Reinforcement (Kyōka)
Having mastered the art of devouring the chakra of others, Akadou clan members are capable of putting the stolen energy to more practical uses. After stealing an enemy's chakra, the Akadou can substantially increase their strength or speed (+2 Lvls) for three turns. This trait has a five post cooldown period between uses.
Chakra Kyuuin no Jutsu (Chakra Absoption Technique) Rank: C Range: Close (0m ~ 5m) Type: Supplementary Handseals: - Chakra Consumption: Low to cast and sustainThe root of all Akadou jutsu, Chakra Kyuuin no Jutsu is a special ninjutsu techinque used to quickly extract a victim's chakra for the purpose of using it for oneself . After activitating the technique, the user's hands will glow a neon-blue color, the sign of reverse-flow chakra. As they place their palm on their opponent's body, or any chakra surface for that matter, they can proceed to withdraw the physical and spiritual energy out of them. By reducing the opponent’s chakra, it greatly increases their overall advantage in battle.
Note: This ability can only be channeled through the hand(s). The chakra absorbed by this technique, per post, is equivalent to x2 Mid. Furthermore, despite being channeled through the hand(s), the user is only capable of draining one person at a time.
Chakra Keihin no Jutsu (Chakra Gifting Technique) Rank: C Range: Close (0m ~ 5m) Type: Supplementary Handseals: - Chakra Consumption: Low - MassiveOnce the Akadou learns to control the altering chakra flow of their victims, they understand the nature of reversing that flow so that it fulls their targets rather than empty them. After activating the technique, the user's hand will glow with a special chakra hue which, when their palm touches the target's body, can pass their own chakra onto whomever they wish.
Note: This ability can only be channeled through the hand(s). The amount of chakra the user may give another is entirely up to them, but may never exceed once massive per thread.
Doton, or 'Earth Element', takes the form of earth and mud based attacks. Ranging from walls made from mud, stone, rock, or earth itself, to the ninja maneuvering himself below ground to attack his opponent from below, Doton grants the user absolute control over all that is earth. Doton can change the hardness and composition of objects, making a creation hard as steel or soft as clay. Due to the expansive nature of the ground and earth in general, this release is excellent for short to long range combat.
Chuusijin no Jutsu (Stomping Monkey’s Quake Technique) Rank: D Range: Close (0m ~ 5m) Type: Supplementary Handseals: 2 Chakra Consumption: Mid, Mid (upkeep) Chuusijin no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique which utilizes the Earth Element. After performing a set of handseals, the user coats their legs and feet in chakra and begins stomping wildly. As they stomp, the earth around them begins to quake, disrupting balance of anyone nearby. This technique is ideal when faced with waves of opponents, or for taking down weakened edifices.
Note: The earthquake extends 5 meters in every direction of the user and will continue so long as they continue to hold chakra in their legs. Any person within range of the earthquake will suffer serious balance and orientation disruption.
Shinjuu Zanshu no Jutsu (Double Suicide Decapitation Technique) Rank: D Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m) Type: Supplementary Handseals: 1 Chakra Consumption: Low, Low (upkeep) Shinjuu Zanshu no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique which utilizes the Earth Element. After performing a single handseal, the user conceals themself beneath the ground. Here they can lie in wait, capable of feeling the vibrations of those who walk above them. When the user chooses, they can emerge suddenly from the ground, grabbing the opponent and pulling them down into the pit where they once were buried. The opponent is buried up to their neck, robbing them of the ability to move.
Note: This technique can only be used outside, or on unimpeded earth. Concealment is near-instantaneous. User cannot move while underground, except to perform the second part of this technique. To remain underground without suffocating, the user will need to continually expend chakra.
