Veritas Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 (edited) ~User Data~ -Posting: Once every 3 days -Time Zone: Central US time ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~Vital Statistics~ Name: Soren Raito Clan: N/A Birthplace: Kumogakure Current Residence: A small little flat above a ninja equipment shop he works at part time as a way to pay for the flat. Age: 16 D.O.B.: Sex: Male ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~Appearance~ -Height: 5'3" -Weight: 150 lbs -Hair Color: Midnight Black -Eye Color: Steel Blue to crimson red, depending on intensity of emotional state. -Clothing: Mission- An all black uniform with a black utility belt and a zip pouch medium-sized duffel bag. He wears a black trench as it were, and often keeps bands of ninja wire wrapped around his arms. He wears black gloves, with removable fingers. He wears his hair tied back in a ponytail, strapped together by two black bands. Casual- Often wears a light beige long sleeve dress shirt with black or gray pants. He wears a silver medallion that showcases a fang with an orb weaver spider wrapped around it. He is often seen wearing reading glasses on the edge of his nose, and a medium-sized zip pouch duffel bag on his back. -Physical Description:I'm rather non-descript for an individual. I Have black hair that is splayed out behind me and reaches about my shoulder blades. It is a bit messy most of the time, but it's not like I can do much with it. I'm often told my steel blue eyes are quite disturbing due to a trick that light plays on them, causing them to change when my emotions become heated. It's a birth defect from what Mori tells me, and not some sort of bloodline. Strange, but not something I could care about. My body is riddled with lash marks from the orphanage, but they usually go unnoticed because I wear clothing that covers most of my body. My skin is also paler than most, which Mori also tells me is a side-effect of the cure he gave me to save my life. Better pale than dead huh? Other than that, I guess the scar on my back is of note. That was where I was stabbed with a kunai to deliver the poison that nearly took my life. It never healed properly and I still feel pangs of pain from it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~Persona~ Personality: I'm a rather dark sort of person, that one would expect to keep a dark and secret past. I'm not a brooding sort of person, but I do like to be alone more often than not. It has to due with the fact that I have been under scrutiny most of my life, and I'd rather have some alone time when I can afford it. I am capable of being social, but I often find that most people are to interested in themselves to care about the world around them. I tend toward silence, but find that I am more talkative with people I trust or know more than a passing. I find myself agitated at loud or obnoxious people. I get flat out pissed at people who have no respect for others. My past is something I try to avoid in my conversations, not out of fear that someone will be prejudiced against me, but to avoid the awkward moments that usually follow. When it comes to completing tasks assigned to me, I do tend to not play fair. Rules are often things that hinder our ability to accomplish what we are trying to due. Cheating in life is no different than cheating in a game. Don't get caught, and no one will complain except the sore losers. Likes: Animals (Particularly spiders and other predators), dark places (as they are often silent), sewing (due to having to fix all my own clothes), and hunting (as there is nothing more exhilarating as tracking something as it attempts to escape me) Dislikes: A severe dislike of large crowds (because , loud noises, abuse of power, and those who regard life as nothing but a commodity to be traded. Favorites: -Food: Green Tea with a hint of cinnamon added for spice, especially when I can make it in a serene location. I am referring to a stream in the middle of a forest, or possibly after a fresh snow. I usually happen to carry supplies to make tea with me when ever I go out. -Color: I've always had a love for silver. It seems to shine brightly during the day, but often is best viewed in the moonlight. In that aspect it is very similar to myself. The best parts of my life have always been when everyone else was sleeping soundly. -Music Genre: I tend to enjoy classical at times, but I find music that showcases the primal emotions tend to make me feel better. -Book Genre: I actually read more mysteries than any other genre, as I find it improves my understanding of the human mind. It also helps my problem solving skills, and I do tend to get a sense of accomplishment when I manage to solve the mystery before the detective. -Hangout: I have no real hangouts with people that I visit. I suppose coffee or florist shops tend to have me frequent them. Though I do often like climbing and places where people rarely ever go. I like being alone, or with people I trust. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~Background~ Current Allegiance: Kumogakure no Sato Relationships: -Parent(s): Hamata Kaori (Mother), Hamata Shirou (Father), Tsurugi Yumi (False Mother), Naiya Noboru (False Father) -Sibling(s): N/A -Significant Other(s): N/A -Pet(s): N/A -Teacher(s): Soren Mori and Nico Mifune -Friend(s): Nico Mifune (landlord and good friend), Soren Mori (Doctor who saved my life, and advisory apothecary), Megami Yin (Florist and Coffee Shop hostess) History: My life was simple back then. Back when my mother and father were actually that to me. That was a few years ago, but it all seems so much further down my memory. A memory that has all been fabricated as it were. I was a child stolen from my crib by a pair of missing-nin looking for an easy score on a ransom. One would think that a parent would want their child back, no matter the cost, right? Life is rarely that kind to the innocent and defenseless. They left me to the wolves, stating that I was not worth their money, or their time. They had far worse things to worry about, like quelling uprisings and acts of terrorism. I was nothing to them, and I still was at their funerals. I may not have killed them, but I am grateful to the sadistic rebel that did them in. They were barely recognizable. As I'm sure you're asking right now, I'll answer that question here. I escaped death by the missing-nin by a simple stroke of luck it seems. They drugged me unconscious, force fed me a poison, and planted me on some unsuspecting rube's doorstep, hoping to throw off suspicion from themselves. I was 13 at the time, and the only reason they kept me alive was as a cover story while we lived in a small village a few miles from Kumogakure. And the reason, you may ask, they attempted to murder me? Because my so-called father couldn't keep his hands off other women, and 'mom' was getting jealous enough to kill them all. So the NCIA finally decided to investigate, and they hightailed it away. I was dying, but it seems that the 'rube' was actually a doctor, and identified the poison. Not in time it seems though, as I noticed of late that my body has a tendency to fail at the most inopportune moments. I was ridiculed through the academy for it, but I'd rather be alive with a handicap, than dead without one. I'd of liked the doctor more if he was actually allowed to adopt me, but unfortunately I was considered a security risk. Now that I look back at it, they might have even accused me of the murders. Can't blame their frustration though. Those two are still at large, and I'll be hellbent on putting their heads on my boss's desk before long and reaping the rewards of their corpses. Suffice it to say, I was (eventually) placed into a orphan shelter. Where I was bullied, picked on, abused, and otherwise mistreated by a group of staff members who had heard I was the child of a pair of missing-nin. Dealt with this for about 2 years, before I could finally escape that hellhole by getting a job at a weapons shop. I managed to get a flat above the weapon's shop as my new place of residence, and the lady that ran the store has helped me out from time to time at my new job as a source of information at times. It was actually funny when I found out that she was once a Jounin for the resistance movement in Oto, but was injured in a battle and forced to retire from being a Kunoichi. I wouldn't call her that much of a teacher, but we do chat over tea a lot. When I told her I planned on joining the academy, as I wanted revenge on my former 'parents' she didn't stop me. It seems that her lack of ability to fight had made deteriorated her will to care about the world. I couldn't blame her, as losing an arm and eyesight in one eye does tend to make one bitter at the world. I would have ended up working for NCIA, but then the war was over. The 'Airships' descended, and thus the rebellion had won out. Not that I had cared all that much, as the 'Great Kumo Empire' had done next to nothing for me. I was nothing but a child of their so called Peaceful Reign. Never had to fight so hard in my life just to accomplish mediocre. So here I stand, after completing the academy, ready to be inducted into the so-called ranks of the Kumo Army. Maybe if I get lucky, I'll be able to eventually take over and fix all the problems with this place. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Statistics Death Bonus: None Rank: Gennin Level: 1 TXP: 100 Total Stat Points:600 -Stats- (Health) 55 (Stamina) 40 (Chakra) 65 (Taijutsu) 40 (Defense) 40 (Ninjutsu) 60 (Genjutsu) 80 (Concentration) 60 (Speed) 60 (Accuracy) 40 (Evasion) 60 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~Skills~ Skill Point Tally: 5/6 Remaining Skill Points: Skills: Positive- The Path of the Hunter Ninja Description: Some people are born to be hunters. They analyze their surroundings, try to take anything and everything they can from the knowledge of them, and attempt to use their surroundings and the things which they feature as defenses against predators. This has been true since the beginning of mankind, and is still true even in the modern day. A person who follows the path of the hunter is skilled in the arts which made countries in the days of old, and which kept danger from those around them. Hunters use traps, or poisons, from their direct surroundings, to their advantage. -1 Effect: Character gains 1 extra Jutsu Point per level. Hunter's Discipline: -Precise Step: 2 ranks of 'Light foot Trapper' may be gained for the price of 1 SP. -Poison Creator: The Skills 'Poison Creator' & 'Expert Poison Creator' may be gained for the price of 1 SP, instead of 2. RP Guide: -A character who follows this path may not necessarily be a savage in the wilderness, but they have a keen eye to environmental circumstances around them. They are naturally attuned to tracking, though without training it may not be any better than a normal ninja. The important thing to remember is that they are, in their nature, hunters. They track and fight indirectly to trap their target in overwhelming circumstance. There are many types of hunters, from the ones who track animals in forests to those who use the metropolis as their cover and hunt a more intelligent prey. Restriction: -Players can only apply this path to characters which actually spend a portion of their time, or have spent a portion of their time, hunting for things, researching and setting traps (Or researching and creating poisons) they should not be afraid to get their hands dirty, or use slightly 'dishonorable' and 'tricky' things to get the job done.

First Tier (Basic) and Second Tier (Advanced) poisons are capable of being made by this shinobi, and costs which would otherwise be there within the poisons are not there, instead paid for in words.
