Post by Archives » Wed Jan 26, 2022 11:33 am

Mikazuki Hajime

General Information Age: 25
Gender: Female
Height: 6’0
Weight: 165 lbs
Physical Features:
  • Face/head: Her face could best be described as ordinary, an angled and sharply cut face with very pronounced cheekbones. The only unordinary thing about it is her unnaturally pale skin, the direct result of her spending such a long amount of time underground as well as her iron-deficiency anaemia.
  • Body: Average. Ordinary, for a shinobi anyway. She does sport a decent level of muscle mass but there’s nothing immensely special about her build outside of the whole missing arm thing, and the scars from healed wounds on her torso.
  • Notable Features:She’s missing her right arm.
Clothing/Accessories: Her outfits tend to consist of very ordinary clothing, typically made up of plain long sleeve shirts, cloth trousers unadorned with any real form of iconography and simple pairs of full boot like shoes. All of this is often a sand stone or earthy colours, better to blend in and simply easier to get a hold of. Clothing is something Mikazuki wears for practical reasons so her outfits do tend to be oh very samey.

There is one exception to this though, but a rare one: An outfit that consists of a very short black skirt, decorated only with two dashes of crimson. She pairs this with a black half-jacket, its shoulders decorated with a trio of three red artifical flower wreaths. Beneath this, she wears a shirt of a slightly lighter shade of grey. Finally, a black girdle augmented by the occasional dashes of red, two columns of three buttons and a series of belts that wrap around her torso. This is as about as close to formal wear she ever gets, hence why she barely if ever wears it.

Personality:
  • General: Love, romance, friendship, despair and jealousy. Those things we all take for granted are a thing Mikazuki, with her sheltered and withdrawn upbringing, has no experience dealing with. To her they are simply distractions. Headaches. Little things that only disrupt and disturb the peace she has found in her existence but as one might expect, everyone has a crack. A weakness, a chink in their armour and Mikazuki is no different but her’s is a lot more dangerous.

    The only emotion she understands, for it has been the story of her life, is envy. Hajime is a yangire, one whose trigger is that feeling of envy. She hates feeling it, the very sensation driving her to murderous acts of slaughter. Envy is something she considers a canker, a gnawing cancer eating away at her heart, driving her to desire more and more no matter how much she gets. When envy begins to eat at her, you should hope you do not find yourself the cause of it.

    However, what is she like when her envy doesn’t trigger psychopathic displays of violence? Well, she’s basically the classic kuudere trope. Anti-social, cold, emotionally distant and withdrawn. She doesn't like talking to people and doesn’t like people like her, viewing them through one pair of lenses: can I use them to make my puppets better? For her puppets are really the only thing Hajime cares about.

    Having been made a cripple at a young age, with the odds stacked against her because of it, Hajime needed to find a form of strength that did not rely on her own purely physical performance. The solution she found was puppetry. Why worry about her own physical form when she can design and craft something far better than she could ever be?

    As a closing statement, the inner unstable nature of her emotions does often slip out to the surface when fighting. Mikazuki is violent and savage, brutally merciless in the way she dispatches foes but the truly concerning thing is her emotional state remains as calm and “static” as it always seems to be. It’s rather concerning to see her tearing people apart and making it rain red while seeming totally emotionally unaffected by it, at least once her mania passes.
  • Hopes/Dreams: None. She has a goal, that being getting stronger and stronger, but she has no real hopes or dreams.
  • Fears: Powerlessness. Being unable to enforce her will however she wants. The very idea of such a thing can break her mentally.
  • Combat Mentality: Violence. Overwhelming destruction. There is no subtlety or secrecy in how Mikazuki fights. She seeks to utterly crush and destroy her opponents, using the sheer unsurpassable power she thinks she possesses to beat her opponents into submission. Some may call her stupid, ignorant or stubborn for relying on brute force but everyone who has is either dead, or had their spirit so utterly broken they never took up arms again.

Abilities and Concentrations

Concentrations
Ninjutsu
Ninjutsu: Advanced Channelling:
This user has superb chakra control, and has learned to perform jutsu by channelling, without the use of hand seals. The user can channel any Ninjutsu that is designed to be channelled, and there are no specified parameters in which a jutsu must fall to be channelled by this method.
Doton:
Doton Affinity
A character with this concentration is able to utilize Doton, and can make and use any custom or archived jutsu that require the doton affinity. Doton has a passive enduring effect.
Passive (Enduring)Show
Doton has a passive effect of Endurance, which means that it's power is retained throughout the entirety of the jutsu. All of a single doton jutsu retains the strength of the jutsu, even after the jutsu has been destroyed, and unlike other jutsu, doton does not fade when destroyed. This means that if a doton barrier with 25 strength is cut in half and falls to the ground, a part of that barrier could be picked up and carried as a hand held shield which would still have 25 strength, despite being a fractured part of a jutsu. This creates incredibly potent defenses, making doton a popular affinity among defensive fighters.
Kouton Affinity:
Kouton Affinity
A character with this concentration is able to utilize Kouton, and advanced form of Doton, and can make and use any custom or archived jutsu that require the Kouton affinity. Kouton has an resisting effect.
Passive (Resisting)Show
Kouton has a resisting effect. This means that Kouton jutsu ignore the effects of other affinities, regardless of their nature. If a Kouton spear was thrown through a water shield, the spear would not be caught by the shield, nor would it be destroyed by Sankaton, or cut by Fuuton. This resisting effect does not apply to active effects by jutsu. This means a fuuton jutsu that cuts with 30 strength would still cut through a 20 strength kouton shield, but it would not be affected by the secondary cutting by Fuuton. This makes Kouton very effective for breaking through and penetrating defenses that opponents expect to protect them. It's hardy nature makes Kouton very popular amoung Doton users.
Taijutsu
Weapons Crafting:
With large amounts of experience in the forge and with creation, this individual is able to craft and create most types of weapons and armor. While this typically doesn’t grant the individual himself any additional powers, it allows him to make more powerful gear for himself and shinobi than what can typically be found. However, those with such familiarity with weapons and armor are often skilled at noticing the strengths and weaknesses of weapons they face, and allow them to more easily exploit them.
Requires Deft Hands Concentration
Deft Hands:
The fundamental skill of [Deft Hands] indicates the user’s proficiency with using their hands in very specific and complex movements, like sleight of hand and targeting very small and specific points on an opponent’s body. This facilitates their use of related Taijutsu in various ways.
Stealth:
The fundamental skill of [Stealth] describes the user’s proficiency in remaining silent, unseen and unnoticed as they go about tasks. This facilitates their use of related Taijutsu.
Perception:
The fundamental skill of [Perception] describes the user’s practiced methods of more keenly focussing their senses for a short time. This facilitates their use of related Taijutsu.

Jutsu
JutsuShow
dotonShow
*[Sensory Style • Approaching Tremor]
C-rank Ninjutsu
The user will do a series of hand seals and place their hands to the ground. Releasing waves of chakra out of their hands. These waves of chakra will bounce back to the user after traveling out 50 meters on the ground. As the chakra returns to the user it will evoke an image in the users head of the immediate area around them, anything touching the ground and anything up to 5 meters underground. These are still images, not moving images, but can give the user a good idea of what is happening if they aren’t able to see otherwise.
KoutonShow
*Kouton • Pellet Storm
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
After performing the required hand seals, the user will expel a cloud of metallic pebbles in a cone reaching 10m from themselves and expanding to 5m wide at [Control] speed. The pellets strike with [Control] strength and have spiked edges for maximum damage.

*Kouton • Steel Fists
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
After performing the correct hand seals, the user will coat their hands in a silvery metal. This metal can sit on their hands for up to 3 posts before falling to useless pieces. The metal will turn into sharp 4 inch spikes at [Control] Speed that break if struck by a blow with more than [Control] Strength.

*Kouton • Shrapnel Bomb
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
After performing the required hand seals, the user will create a hollow ball of steel about the size of a soccer ball. They will then fire this ball at [Control] speed in a single direction for up to 10 meters. Upon contact or reaching its maximum range, the ball will detonate with [Control] Strength, showering the affected area in metal shards.

*Kouton • Hidden Needle
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
After performing the correct hand seals, the user will channel chakra into a metal weapon they are holding. Upon throwing or swinging that weapon, they are then able to cause a 15cm long needle to be launched from within that weapon at [Control] speed in a single direction at any point along its trajectory. This needle will strike with [Control] strength.

*Kouton • Wall
C-Ranked Ninjutsu
After performing the correct hand seals the user causes a wall of steel with half-meter spikes on its front to emerge from the ground up to 4 meters in height at [Control] speed. This wall can block attacks up to [Control] strength, and crumbles to useless pieces after 3 posts. If the user so chooses within those 3 posts, or if the structure is not destroyed, they may from the spikes off at [Control] Speed and Strength.

*Kouton • Spray
C-Ranked Ninjutsu
After performing the correct hand seals, the user will cause a source of metal larger than a person to start spraying a cloud of needles in a single direction at [Control] Speed and Strength. This cloud goes 20 meters from the point of origin, while also being 10 meters in width.

*Kouton • Steel Reel
C-Ranked Ninjutsu
After performing the required hand seals, the user will touch two fingers on each hand together. From those spots, the user is able to create up to 25m of wire, and cause it to approach and wrap around something at [Control] Speed and Strength. The wire must be completely created in the first post, but acts as normal wire afterwards.

*Kouton • Crumple Zones
C-Ranked Ninjutsu
After performing the required hand seals, the user will channel chakra to an existing source of metal. The next time that metal is touched, the steel will bend inwards, covering and holding the thing that touched it with [Control] strength. This technique lasts for 3 posts.
NinjutsuShow
[Ventriloquism]
D-Rank Ninjutsu
A fairly simple jutsu, the user channels chakra into the wires connecting them to their frame. The combination of chakra and wires carries the users voice to the frame, so it will sound as if it is talking when in reality it is the user's words. If it is equipped with a sound vibrating device, the voice can also be changed to whatever the user wishes it to be. This jutsu can be intitiated by either channeling or handsigns and its effect lasts for three posts.

[Transformation]
D-Rank Ninjutsu
Much like the original Transformation Jutsu, the user does the needed hand seals and causes their frame to take on the appearance of their own body and their own body into the appearance of their frame. This variation works by reformatting the frame physically, altering the metal plates (if any) that make up its structure. By consistently emitting chakra throughout their body, the user is able to keep their appearance adjusted at the cost of their Chakra Pool draining over time. As this technique is quite strenuous to uphold, experienced shinobi may see more clearly through this delusive disguise. This technique lasts for a number of posts equal to that of the user's Chakra Pool.

[Change of Body Stance]
D-Rank Ninjutsu
After completing the necessary hand seals, the user is able to quickly substitute his/her body with one of their frames in a swirl of metal shrapnel. This substitution allows the frame to take the force of the attack that was meant for the user, additionally allowing the user to create distance between him/her and the opponent. This technique may only be used a total of two (2) times in a single thread, counting towards the (2) teleportation limit.

[Wire Manipulation]
C-Rank Ninjutsu
A Ninjutsu technique used by those who create and control frames. By releasing chakra from their tenketsu, the user is able to manipulate metal wires from their fingers. These strings are able to move 25 meters and to attach their wires to inanimate, chakra-less objects at [Control] Speed. While an inanimate object is being controlled, it’s treated as if it has a speed equal to the user’s control.

[Frame Invisibility]
C-Rank Ninjutsu
By channelling chakra to a frame through metal wires, the user is able to form a chakra coating over the puppet. This coating causes the frame to become completely invisible as long as every piece of it is completely still. Once the frame moves, it becomes fully visible.

[Frame Senses]
C-Rank Ninjutsu
Required: [Wire Manipulation] By connecting a metal wire from a part of a frame or person, the user is able to transfer their senses from their body to whichever part the wires are connected to on the frame or human. This allows the user to ‘see’ and ‘hear’ from the perspective of what is connected to the wire.
FuuinjutsuShow
[Frame Storage]
C-Rank Fuuinjutsu
Prerequisite: 5 Control By writing out the needed fuuinjutsu on a scroll, the user is able to seal frames into scrolls. Unlike other storage fuuin, this is able to store much more. However, whenever the frame is removed, the user is only able to connect their metal wires to the puppet and are unable to use any non-frame jutsu for the rest of the post. Frames can't be sealed this way in combat.

History
Historical AccountsShow
Hajime’s life started off far better than it ended up being. She was born to a Suna Iwagakure ninja, albeit one who retired and retreated to the rural regions of the Land of Earth. As much as I want to speak of Hajime’s life, the matter of her parentage needs to be addressed. After all, being born to two rival Ninjas, one of whom is a missing nin, is a rather…odd set of circumstances.

Now, Hajime’s mother and her squad were deployed to scout out the Land of Earth, to gain intel, to find targets for future invasions and other preliminary work for that potential what if scenario.Obviously their mission went south for the winter, resulting in engaging Iwagakure ninja and dying to all but one man on both sides. Ultimately, the Iwagakure side did win, the last of their number taking the only surviving Sunagakure ninja hostage. It was a difficult price to pay but one that promised great rewards.

Now, Hajime’s father was an ambitious man, one who wished to climb the ranks as quickly as he could, as high as he could. For this purpose, he bent the rules a lot, took the Suna ninja into custody, told lies about how she died shortly after their conflict and then nursed her back to a level of health just good enough to extract information from her. It took a while but he began to earn her trust, gaslighting and manipulating her into spilling beans.

Training regimes, secrets of Suna puppetry, force organisations, plans and the identity of Shinobi. There was a huge amount of information available to be gleaned and at first, Hajime’s father managed to pass it off as journals or other documents he managed to recover. Sadly, the scheme was revealed and the Iwagakure authorities took over the interrogation yet they did keep her father involved, to better take advantage of that pre-established rapport.

The indoctrination, gaslighting and interrogation continued onwards but amid this, a genuine relationship between Hajime’s would-be parents did begin to form. They eventually had a child together, the result of a spur of the moment decision. The day the kid was born was the last Hajime’s father saw of his one time mother, something made worse by the poor prison diet, the lack of healthcare and just how dirty a prison tends to be. These factors, coupled with just plain bad genetic luck, resulted in Hajime being born with a vestigial arm, one that was swiftly amputated.

Now, we can finally return to Hajime’s history. She was raised as best she can be by her father, with him teaching her a lot of the essentials of being a ninja. He even passed down his own sketches of her mother’s puppet, explaining the basic principle behind puppetry to her and even working with her to develop a variation of puppetry using Kouton release. Everything seemed pretty good for her, a bright life ahead of her, being raised by a single father out in the more rural regions of the Land of Earth.

Then came the plague. It was not a national problem, one localised only to the small rural village Hajime’s father had retired to. Hajime, now merely ten years old, managed to survive the plague….but her father did not, which resulted in her being handed over to a local farmer to look after. At first things were fine and dandy but then came a bad season, a year’s worth of crops dying due to drought and slavers. Without even a second thought Hajime was sold into slavery, her body buying the farmer the money he needed to look after his own children.

From there her life went downhill fast. At first she was slated to just be manual labour but the moment it became known she had been trained in a handful of the ninja arts, namely her altered form of puppetry and the basics of metal release, her owners decided she would be a better pit fighter than anything else. That has been her life ever since. Brutal training, physical condition, fights to the death. Day in, day out, every day. Fight, serve, slay. It was all she knew…her entire purpose.

Years and years went on, with her fighting, slaughtering and killing her way to the very top of her circuit. Over the years, her popularity and ability grew, as did her emotional instability, which only fuelled her own obsession with acquiring greater strength. She always needed more to stay on top but, eventually, she began to wonder why she didn’t just turn her might on her “employers.” Which is exactly what she did. Hajime waited until she was due to be sold to another fighting circuit and, when they lowered their guard, she took her chance.

The slavers were brutally murdered, torn limb from limb, ripped apart, reduced to bloody smears! Ahhh it was a cathartic day! A truly satisfying moment! The granting of sweet release to those whom, for so very long, had kept her under heel! She was stronger than them…stronger than any of these two bit gladiators…but that was not enough…! She needed more…more and more…and what better place for one trained in the ninja arts to accrue more power than a hidden village? So she began to just walk towards Iwagakure.
