Height: 5'3"
Weight: 147 lbs
Physical Features:
- Face/head: Niku has black hair, usually kept in a ponytail. The ponytail, however, is rather long, reaching all the way down to mid thigh. She has light brown eyes, almost appearing mustard in hue.
- Body: Niku, being on the shorter side of average, has a notably lithe form, developed through years of physical hard work. While her curves are modest, her tiny waist often gives away her womanly nature. Her skin is quite pale, noticeable scars littered along her arms from all of her hard training.
- Notable Features: Her most notable feature is likely her pale skin.
Young NikuShow
- General: Niku is playful and good natured, being socially tactful rather than brutally honesty. Through her experiences, Niku has become mostly calm and collected, able to take the world in without getting heavily distracted or emotionally distraught.
- Hopes/Dreams: Niku hopes to exceed the expectations of those who've helped raise her into who she is. This includes her mother and grandfather, but also teachers and mentors that she's had along the way.
- Fears: Niku fears that she'll never find 'the one', her soulmate that will complete her. On top of that, she fears that the only notion of completion and soulmates is factually inaccurate. She also worries about failing those who believe in her.
- Combat Mentality: Niku is not opposed to playing with her opponent, but usually only if she has complete confidence that she is stronger than the opponent. More often, Niku will attempt to end a battle quickly, using her inhuman speed and Iaido kenjutsu to deliver a deadly blow. In times when a direct confrontation are not feasible, she will use her speed and Doton techniques to distract and confuse opponents until a fatal blow can be dealt.

Equipment Generic
For missions, Niku will carry a brown, leather satchel over her right shoulder. The satchel has a small pocket on the front, which holds 3 smoke pellets, while the main compartment houses 4 kunai with attached exploding tags and a basic first aid kit which includes bandages, gauze, and tape.
Dragon's Skin
A chestplate, with attached shoulder coverings, that's been passed down through the Inken family for generations. Legend has it that it was crafted from the toughened skin of a fierce, yellow dragon, slayed by one of Niku's ancestors. In its current state, Dragon Skin is capable of withstanding 40 strength attacks.
Cardinal Winds
Quantity: Four
Identical wakizashi that were given to her by her grandfather. A collection of swords are named after North, South, East, and West, the Cardinal Winds. They are relatively basic weapons, measuring 30 inches from tip to end, with a 20 inch blade and a 10 inch handle. The weapons have a green sheath and a green threaded handle. She carries two of the swords on her left hip, one just a bit higher than the other, and the other two are similarly placed on her right hip.
Ordinal Winds
Quantity: Four
To an onlooker, this sword appears similar to a wakizashi having a slight curve, a 20 inch blade, and a 6 inch handle. The most noticeable difference being a 4 inch blade extending from the bottom of the handle and some holes located near the tip of the blade. However, there is more to the sword than first appearances.
SpecificationsShow
Designed by Niku, Ordinal Winds consist of a single piece of sharpened metal which makes up the blade, measuring 30 inches in length; however, unlike most swords, the blade is pointed at both ends. At each end, there are three holes which form a slightly curved line with the first one located about 5 inches from the tip with about 2 inches between each hole. The blade has a groove starting at the last hole, closest to the tip, and ending at the opposite hole near the other tip of the blade. A 6 inch handle, which mirrors the slight curve of the blade, is attached over the blade such that the handle can slide freely along the groove of the blade. Inside the handle are 3 retractable pegs, one in the center and one on each side about 2 inches from the center peg. These pegs align with the holes of the blade. With a push of the button, the pegs will be retracted and allowing the handle to slide along the blade's groove to the other set of holes. Rather than having to change her grip on the handle, this sword allows Niku to change from an earth facing grip to a standard grip, or vice versa. Inside the handle is the [Fuuinjutsu • Blade Storage] which allows Niku to seal the blade inside the handle. Upon closer inspection, the curvature of the Ordinal Winds matches the curvature of her other weapons, the Cardinal Winds, meaning this weapon can utilize the sheathes of those weapons as well.
Quantity: 6
A group of chakrams that measure 10 inches in diameter with a width of approximately 2 inches. The ring has a dark, matte finish preventing reflections from coming off the metal. The outer edge has been sharpened heavily, rivaling any of Niku’s swords in pure cutting ability. She has a holster on each thigh which holds 3 chakram. Uniquely, Niku has cast a 5 cm x 5 cm piece of Desire into each chakram, allowing her to control the weapons at any time, even mid-flight. This control happens at a speed and strength equal to her Desire stat.
Desire
What is best described as a cloak, Desire is a large piece of fabric woven with an indistinguishable material. It has a corded border, and several points that join together that can be utilized to join it around a neck like a cloak. However, if all the points are brought together, it functions as a bag. The cloak can be manipulated with the user’s 'Desire' weapon stat, and has strength equal to the weapon stat, allowing it to be effective for capturing. However, Desire also masks the chakra signatures of anything within it, and muffles all sound. This makes it very good at reconnaissance, and sometimes, smuggling. The cloak is 2m x 3m in size, but through focus can be expanded up to double that to 4m x 6m in size. However, upon closer inspection, one can see a small portion of the robe's longer edge has been removed, measuring about 60cm x 5cm.
Abilities, Concentrations, and Styles
Rebirth of a Dragon Niku has learned of her destiny to become the next Yellow Dragon. As she moves on that path of Awakening, Niku gains access to the inhuman powers of the Yellow Dragon. The specialist stat, Awakening, is used to track Niku's access to these dragon-like powers, as indicated by the table below. Once her Awakening stat reaches the appropriate benchmark, Niku has access to that ability at all times. On top of those abilities, Niku is able to enter a new state, titled Dragon Form, which receives a variety of boosts but can only be maintained for 5 posts.
| Awakened Dragon | |
|---|---|
| Awakening Stat | Powers and Boosts |
| 1 | Niku develops a spiritual connection between herself and her armor, Dragon's Skin, which allows the dragon's energy to flow through them both, slowly causing her chakra to take on a yellow hue which becomes more prevalent as her Awakening stat gets higher. Dragon Form Boosts: N/A |
| 10 | Niku gains the ability to fly despite a lack of wings or other means of flight. This flight is in adherence to all of the flight rules, where her flight speed is limited by Awakening or Speed, whichever is lower. The effects of weightlessness can be a bit overly demanding so for every Awakening stat under 25, Niku experiences a minus to her Endurance; meaning at 10 Awakening, she'd experience a -15 to Endurance while in flight. Once she reaches 25 Awakening, she'll be able to fly without any ill effects to her Endurance. Dragon Form Boosts: +2 Chakra pool, +1 Endurance, +1 Strength, +1 Speed |
| 20 | From within her own body, Niku is able to summon yellow, dragon scales to cover her entirety. These scales have an Endurance equal to her Awakening Stat. Dragon Form Boosts: +3 Chakra pool, +3 Endurance, +2 Strength, +2 Speed |
| 30 | Due to the Yellow Dragon's connection with the earth, Niku is able to cast doton techniques based on her Awakening stat (rather than Control). Dragon Form Boosts: +4 Chakra pool, +4 Endurance, +4 Strength, +3 Speed |
| 40 | Niku's body develops the dragon's regenerative abilities, which fall in line with the Regenerative Ability rules utilizing Awakening rather than Control. Dragon Form Boosts: +4 Chakra pool, +4 Endurance, +4 Strength, +3 Speed |
| 50 | As a medium between this world and the spiritual realm, Niku's summons (the ones registered as companions) are able to possess an object that Niku has treated with her chakra indefinitely despite possessions usually being temporary. While the summons are possessing an object, also known as a Joruri, they do not draw from Niku's chakra; however, they will begin to draw from her chakra once they end their possession. Dragon Form Boosts: +5 Chakra pool, +5 Endurance, +5 Strength, +5 Speed |

History
Historical AccountsShow
Reports of bandits marauding small towns near the border of Tea Country and Fire Country eventually made their way to Konoha. They assigned a young chuunin the mission of stopping those bandits and Nyuuga Ushi made her way out to find them. They were making a straight line south down the border, so it was pretty easy for the intelligent chuunin to track them down.
She confronted the group of bandits, informing them of her rank and association with the ninja world. She hoped they would surrender, but they weren't that nice to her. She had no desire to hurt the bandits and approached them intending to use her nonlethal techniques to neutralize the threat. The first bandit rushed at her, swinging some sort of makeshift mace. She easily sidestepped the attack and hit him in the back of the head, effectively knocking him out. When she turned back to the other three, she was surprised by a small glass thing shattering at her feet. Before she knew it, a small green gas made its way to her nose and she inhaled its contents.
Feeling no effect, she approached the other three bandits, wanting to finish the confrontation quickly. As she moved, she realized how dizzy she felt as she stumbled to the ground. The bandits started to grin as they'd managed to subdue a kunoichi. The fortune they'd spent on that poison had been worth it. One of the bandits pulled his sword out, a wicked grin crossing his face as he approached Ushi. He raised the sword above his head, preparing to send its edge deep into the kunoichi. Before the blade reached her flesh, a samurai rushed over and unleashed his blade. His lightning draw sliced through the bandit's inferior sword.
The samurai quickly took care of the other bandits before checking on the young lady. After ensuring that the bandits weren't going to get away, the young samurai took the kunoichi to a doctor. The doctor was unfamiliar with the poison and said time was the only cure he had at his disposal. The young samurai stayed by her bedside and helped her recuperate. The two warriors fell in love and the samurai agreed to go to Konoha so that they could be together. Touched by his willing to uproot his entire life, the two were married before she returned to the village. Once there, the kunoichi requested that they allow her husband to move to the village.
Nearly fifty years ago, a samurai and his wife moved to Konohagakure no Sato. He was scrutinized at first, but he joined a group that taught their samurai skills to any that wanted to learn. Many shinobi came to train under their tutelage, as well as some villagers. They weren't sanctioned by the village, but their willingness to teach shinobi went a log says to proving their loyalty. A few years later, the samurai's wife had a child. As was customary, the samurai trained his child to be a samurai as well.
The young man abhorred the sword and joined the shinobi academy at a young age. While the samurai was displeased, he was also glad to see his son making his own path. Once the boy became a chuunin, he found a nice young lady and they married. Just before his twentieth birthday, the young shinobi went out on a mission and died in the line of duty. Unbeknownst to him, his young bride was pregnant with his child. This is the history of Inken Nikuya's parentage.
Without her father around, her grandfather, now retired and bored, began training Niku to become a samurai. Niku's mother told her stories of her father and his adventures in the shinobi world. Wanting to honor both her grandfather and father, she decided to train her hardest on her grandfather's teachings and attend the ninja academy. While she did learn a fair amount of ninja skills in the academy, she spent most of her spare time on Iaido, her grandfather's samurai style.
After becoming a genin, she was placed on a few different teams but none really stuck together too well. She also began training with a masterful sensei by the name of Tenzin. Under his tutelage, Niku began to expand her doton and ninjutsu skills considerably, eventually delving into the usage of fuuinjutsu. Her training with her grandfather persisted and she grew into an incredibly competent samurai. These skills allowed Niku to pass her chuunin exam with fellow participant Yozei, who also happens to be the Hokage's son. The two later teamed up with a few other chuunin to create the Vanguard, a group of up-and-coming shinobi within Konoha.
Despite her progress within the ranks of shinobi, Niku continues to train hard and develop her skills further.

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.

Sensors are shinobi who are able to activate a sixth sense which can locate and read chakra sources. Sensory is advantageous as it allows shinobi to perceive without using any of their conventional senses, which can easily be deceived. Sensors are able to collect a lot of information through the interpretation of this sixth sense.[/quote]

The samurai of the [url=https://www.narutosaigen.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=69&t=5637955&start=40#p1798913]Land of Tea[/url] have produced a unique style of Kenjutsu called Iaido. Unlike other styles, which rely on the sword being drawn to attack, a practitioner of Iaido is always ready to attack their opponents, even when their weapon is sheathed in its scabbard. Known as a "sword drawing" technique, Iaido uses the smooth, linear motion of pulling the sword from its sheath to create abnormally fast slashes and strikes against often ignorant and unsuspecting opponents. Though the katana is preferred for this style, any curved sword single-edged sword with a complimenting scabbard is compatible with this style. Their ability to fight with both traditional swordplay and hand-to-hand combat while perfectly capable of switching to quick slashes and stabs using Iaido's hallmark techniques makes practitioners of this style unpredictable fighters.

[quote=Skitter Step][color=#EF2B2D][b]Skitter Step[/b][/color]
The Skitter Step is a style that relies heavily on the user's senses. The style itself is a mesh of quick, fast, and wild punches, kicks, and jumps. Due to the user altering their senses, every bit of movement is heard and, since they can start to respond to things instinctively, they can respond to things that normally wouldn't have been able to be heard/seen/done. In addition to the heightened senses, users are normally in a "paranoid" state, where they start to suspect things that aren't always there.
If overused, the style can lead to paranoia in individuals, along with constant fidgeting, making experts in the style quite well known for these activities.[list][*][i][b]Requires:[/b] [Acrobatics] and [Perception][*][b]Requires[/b] [b]*[color=#EF2B2D][Skitter Step • Senses Open][/color][/b] prerequisite to learn any other jutsu.[/i][/list][/quote]
[quote=Flawless Aim Style (Description)][center]This style of combat is favored by shinobi preferring to use projectiles, often serving as a staple for ranged taijutsu users. Focusing on the synergy between their hands and senses, they strive to make their lethal skills reach as far as possible with absolute precision.

[center][b][big][big]History[/big][/big][/b][/center][spoiler=Historical Accounts]Reports of bandits marauding small towns near the border of Tea Country and Fire Country eventually made their way to Konoha. They assigned a young chuunin the mission of stopping those bandits and Nyuuga Ushi made her way out to find them. They were making a straight line south down the border, so it was pretty easy for the intelligent chuunin to track them down.
She confronted the group of bandits, informing them of her rank and association with the ninja world. She hoped they would surrender, but they weren't that nice to her. She had no desire to hurt the bandits and approached them intending to use her nonlethal techniques to neutralize the threat. The first bandit rushed at her, swinging some sort of makeshift mace. She easily sidestepped the attack and hit him in the back of the head, effectively knocking him out. When she turned back to the other three, she was surprised by a small glass thing shattering at her feet. Before she knew it, a small green gas made its way to her nose and she inhaled its contents.
Feeling no effect, she approached the other three bandits, wanting to finish the confrontation quickly. As she moved, she realized how dizzy she felt as she stumbled to the ground. The bandits started to grin as they'd managed to subdue a kunoichi. The fortune they'd spent on that poison had been worth it. One of the bandits pulled his sword out, a wicked grin crossing his face as he approached Ushi. He raised the sword above his head, preparing to send its edge deep into the kunoichi. Before the blade reached her flesh, a samurai rushed over and unleashed his blade. His lightning draw sliced through the bandit's inferior sword.
The samurai quickly took care of the other bandits before checking on the young lady. After ensuring that the bandits weren't going to get away, the young samurai took the kunoichi to a doctor. The doctor was unfamiliar with the poison and said time was the only cure he had at his disposal. The young samurai stayed by her bedside and helped her recuperate. The two warriors fell in love and the samurai agreed to go to Konoha so that they could be together. Touched by his willing to uproot his entire life, the two were married before she returned to the village. Once there, the kunoichi requested that they allow her husband to move to the village.
Nearly fifty years ago, a samurai and his wife moved to Konohagakure no Sato. He was scrutinized at first, but he joined a group that taught their samurai skills to any that wanted to learn. Many shinobi came to train under their tutelage, as well as some villagers. They weren't sanctioned by the village, but their willingness to teach shinobi went a log says to proving their loyalty. A few years later, the samurai's wife had a child. As was customary, the samurai trained his child to be a samurai as well.
The young man abhorred the sword and joined the shinobi academy at a young age. While the samurai was displeased, he was also glad to see his son making his own path. Once the boy became a chuunin, he found a nice young lady and they married. Just before his twentieth birthday, the young shinobi went out on a mission and died in the line of duty. Unbeknownst to him, his young bride was pregnant with his child. This is the history of Inken Nikuya's parentage.
Without her father around, her grandfather, now retired and bored, began training Niku to become a samurai. Niku's mother told her stories of her father and his adventures in the shinobi world. Wanting to honor both her grandfather and father, she decided to train her hardest on her grandfather's teachings and attend the ninja academy. While she did learn a fair amount of ninja skills in the academy, she spent most of her spare time on Iaido, her grandfather's samurai style.
After becoming a genin, she was placed on a few different teams but none really stuck together too well. She also began training with a masterful sensei by the name of [url=https://www.narutosaigen.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=85&t=8048376]Tenzin[/url]. Under his tutelage, Niku began to expand her doton and ninjutsu skills considerably, eventually delving into the usage of fuuinjutsu. Her training with her grandfather persisted and she grew into an incredibly competent samurai. These skills allowed Niku to pass her chuunin exam with fellow participant [url=https://www.narutosaigen.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=85&t=8105145]Yozei[/url], who also happens to be the [url=https://www.narutosaigen.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=85&t=5956015]Hokage[/url]'s son. The two later teamed up with a few other chuunin to create the [url=https://www.narutosaigen.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=90&t=8340685]Vanguard[/url], a group of up-and-coming shinobi within Konoha.
Despite her progress within the ranks of shinobi, Niku continues to train hard and develop her skills further.[/spoiler][hr]
