[legend="[b]New BL/CA[/b]: [i]Pyromaniac[/i]"]Given her history, Hotaru was involved in a lot of rituals and developed a preferred way of carrying them out. Nothing made her fellow devotees more happy than the consistent anguish of that particular nights lamb. As such, she was devoted young child and wanted to make her new friends proud. She began to delve into her own element of Ninjutsu she had learned in the academy: Fire. There was nothing quite like the screams of someone being burned alive, and the more control she learned with the element the easier it was to keep people awake instead of passing out. However, this was just the tip of the ice berg.
These tendencies found their way into her lessons at school, and she had to be tackled once as she ignited a fellow student in a tornado of fire, a lustful smile etched onto her face. This did not make her new family happy, as it nearly exposed them and the group they were apart of. Hotaru was angry for just doing as she was taught. Kusagakure gained an arsonist that night, and fires seemed to happen a few times a year, seemingly without warning. Those within the house never had time to escape and stories were told of their lurid screaming that the neighbors could hear for blocks all around.[/legend]

Main Branch/ANBU/Med-Nin: How does this work with Missing?
IC Rank: Kage of Christmas Town
Character Age: 19
Sex: Female
Character's Physical Description: She’s an attractive looking young woman, even with the several scars covering her body. One of her long, slender arms is a metallic prosthetic. Her hair is red in color, and while it appears to have been styled when cut, it usually looks unkempt.
Character's Mental Description: Hotaru is quite extroverted and enjoys the company of having a lot of people around. That's probably because she enjoys being the certain of attention most of the time. She's very dedicated to whatever cause she sets her mind to and is adamant behind it, even when presented with evidence that might cause others to waver. She's always been rebellious and selfish when it comes to dealing with others, and looks mainly out for herself.
Character History: Born in Kusagakure, Hotaru’s escape from the shinobi life was long awaited and planned for. The simple truth was that the government didn’t agree with her tactics when it came to missions. So she figured she could make a whole lot more money out there on her own in the world. Using the knowledge that the village had taken the time to teach and hone within her was used against them as she fought through two squads of guards just to get free of their stranglehold on her life. In the end she was successful, but not before taking down a squad of hunter-nin who had been sent after her. However, it did not come without a realization that she was sorely lacking in power. She needed more...
She sought someone, anyone, who could fulfill her lust. She followed a flier that promised tales of a great future and scientific discovery. This flier took her towards a mechanical marvel that sat high up in the sky in the south of lightning country. And in exchange for a favor, they granted her a new arm filled with scientific might. It functioned just like the real thing, in addition to having all sorts of added bonuses. Of course, this company whom she agreed to give a favor decided to cash it in right away. After completing a small mission to detonate a government explosives cache, she disappeared to a land where no government held power, to become a queen in a place where only power mattered.
[spoilername="Kinjutsu Application"]Hotaru was born into a family happy to receive her. They had been trying for a child for a long time and just couldn't seem to conceive, so they prayed and prayed and offered anything to their god in exchange for a child. What they didn't realize was that her father, Chiyasha, was born in much the same way. And he was actually being punished for forsaking his religion for his wife. She wasn't particularly religious so even praying to the gods for a child was a stretch for her. But she was desperate. Knowing her desperation, Hotaru's father prayed to Jashin in secret and begged for a child to make his wife happy. That night, in a dream, Jashin told him he would grant the woman a child, as long as Chiyasha would spill her blood in his name after giving birth. Chiyasha agreed reluctantly.
Months went by, and her mothers belly grew with little Hotaru inside. Chiyasha feared for his wife and ultimately decided he was going to betray Chiyasha on the day his new child would be born. And that day did come, as the cries of Hotaru rang out in the room, Chiyasha grasped the very scissors that cut the umbilical cord in his hand and gripped them vehemently. "Jashin, I... can't..." he sighed dropping them to the ground. No one in the room even realized his struggle in the simultaneous joy and chaos of a birth. But his god did. Jashin vowed that he would claim his wifes soul, and something more.
The happy parents named their child Hotaru, and their life improved drastically. While before they had been stressed and depressed, Hotaru's mother was a natural with her first child and raised her daughter with grace and skill. Unfortunately, she did show chakra sensitivity and was 'recruited' into the academy. Could have been worse, and her mother was worried, but when Hotaru came back from her first day with a smile on her face and exciting stories, it put her at ease. Chiyasha on the other hand worried for his daughter. The life of a shinobi ended in death, if Jashin didn't get to her first.
His worries were warranted. His forsaken god already had plans in motion. A disciple in Kusagakure was given the job of seducing his young daughter into curiosity regarding the religion. And it didn't take much for the young and increasingly independent Hotaru to catch on to the lures this man was setting. He was kind and patient with her when she finally stopped by to ask questions regarding what religion was, after all, her family never spoke of it. Then one day, she told her parents that she was invited to a religious meeting and that she wanted to go. When they asked what religion, the blood drained from their faces when she spoke the word Jashin. They immediately forbade her from attending and sent her to her room for the remainder of the evening.
A fight broke out between Chiyasha and his wife that evening, Hotaru could only hear some of it when the shouting got specifically loud, but it had something to do with her father. "How did she find out about this!? I thought you got rid of everything!?" she shouted. It seemed her father had something to do with the religion. At her age though, this only deepened her curiosity. She turned to her window and made a decision... A decision that would change her life forever.
After things cooled off at home, her mother wanted to talk to her about what had happened. She nearly fainted when she found her only child's room empty. Meanwhile she was just arriving at the location. It didn't look like the other religious buildings that were in the village. It looked like a covered entrance to a basement of some kind. The kind man stood outside stoically, looking around for her in particular. Once he saw her, he smiled proudly, knowing he was about to get favor with Jashin and lead her inside. She was immediately hit with a familiar wave of a metallic stench, but she couldn't remember where she had smelled it before.
As they descended into the basement, or rather, the chamber (it wasn't a basement at all), Hotaru realized what the smell was. It was all of the blood splattered onto the floor. There were at least twenty people standing around a nude man with several holes in his body, but the blood didn't seem to be flowing normally. It oozed and dripped slowly, as if to keep him alive longer. Her expression: Alarm. "I thought you said this was a place of community and friendship, and a place where--"
"It is, look there. Isn't that a friend of your from the academy?"
"Hotaru! Hi!!!" called the shortest person, a boy, in the room with a big smile on his face. He was covered in blood. Hotaru was confused.
"And there, one of your sensei from the academy as well."
A woman in the crowd waved to her, also smiling. They all seemed to be enjoying themselves, but what about the person in the middle? Wasn't this murder? "This feels wrong."
"Don't worry Hotaru, follow me and I'll show you what we are about." he replied and offered her a hand to grab onto. She reluctantly grasped onto his hand and followed him past the others towards a section of the chamber with a few chairs. As she sat, there was a muffled moan from behind her. Sounded like they stabbed the man again.
"Hotaru, Jashin is the one true god in the world. He is the only one who manifests himself and gives his power to those who follow him devotedly. Your father used to be one of us. Your were born by the power of Jashin, I remember the night he came and sacrificed so that your mother might conceive a child."
Hotaru stared at him with a furrowed brow, unsure whether to trust him or allow herself to stay here a moment later. But her gut was telling her he wasn't lying, at least about her father. She remembered what her mother was saying during that fight. Did that mean the rest of what he was saying was true?
"Give us a shot Hotaru, and I promise you will find the power as well."
"I- Maybe. Can I maybe come back when you aren't... doing that?" she asked.
"Of course, maybe you can bring your father too. I'm sure he wouldn't mind coming back."
Hotaru nodded her head and took his hand again, closing her eyes until they got outside. She doubted that her father would want to, so she wasn't even going to mention what happened. Then she realized that her parents would have no doubt discovered her escape. What was she going to tell them?
Walking into her house, she was engulfed in a hug by a worried mother. No doubt she assumed her daughter would be lost forever, or even worse, dead. Her father too breathed a sigh of relief. But it looked like he had endured a night of anger from his wife due to their missing child. When asked why she left, she lied and said she didn't want to listen to them fight anymore. That wasn't actually a lie either, half of the reason she left was to avoid that. They bought the story and the rest of the night seemed to play like normal.
For the next few months, Hotaru was pressured on all sides to embrace the power of Jashin until she finally gave in and attended a sacrificial ceremony. When she plunged the knife into that body, and literally felt the ecstasy flow through her hands into every cell of her body, she was hooked. They had gagged and hooded her victim for her that night. She was too short to reach, so she demanded them removed before she would shove the knife back in the body. As the metal slide past the flesh, all those around her shuddered in their own perverse pleasure. Jashin's first step of revenge had been completed.
Years went by...
Hotaru graduated from the academy. She grew in her faith. But she dared not mention things to her family, despite Jashin's subtle nudging. She would be the instrument of his ultimate revenge.
She was on mission and things weren't going well. She stole a captive they had worked so hard to and took him out to the middle of the forest and put him to flame. She burned him with such intense heat that he turned to ash in a matter of seconds. She quaked in pleasure and fell to her knees. This was a prayer of power to Jashin, for favor in the coming days. But for the first time, he spoke to her directly from the smoldering flames of her sacrifice. "If you would seek the power to destroy your enemies, you must return your father to my fold, and bring your mother as well. You must display your true devotion to me my daughter, by forcing them to witness your faith. Only then will I give you all my gifts to use for my bidding, and for your pleasure."
She nearly refused him until he mentioned there was even more to gain. Every iota in her body lusted after what he offered; it was impossible to say no.
The next day, she ignored the warnings and directives from her superiors and took to the battlefield. They were supposed to help from the shadows, but it wasn't enough. She walked through the rank and file of the army that had paid for their assistance and stood before a legion of sneering fools. "In your name, Jashin, I will destroy these meaningless souls!" she called at the top of her lungs. The enemy began to laugh... Hotaru slowly made a serious of hand-seals and place her arms forward. In front of her, an orb of explosive chakra began to form and it just kept growing. Even after she turned around and walked away.
The soldiers on the other side began to scramble, realizing their death was imminent. But it was too late. The chakra finally fired off and a mushroom cloud soon followed. The number of souls harvested by her bomb made her go weak at the knees, but she kept standing. Instead she shrieked to expend as much energy as she could, terrifying those in the allied army and her fellow ninja alike. After her episode, she looked up overwhelmed, smile on her face. She trembled as she walked back to where her squad mates were waiting. However, Hotaru just walked past them, in the direction of Kusagakure. She had a task to complete.
It had been some time since she saw her family, so it was easy to persuade them to attend dinner with her. But when they arrived at the underground chapel, her father realized what was happening. But one look from Hotaru stopped him in his tracks; he could see Jashin looking back at him. Down the stairs they walked, her mother confused. They arrived on the landing and her parents were quickly apprehended and tied to posts. There was the usual sacrifice in the center, and they were placed across of them some ten yards away. Prime position to watch their daughter kill a man in exchange for Jashin's blessing.
Hours went by as the congregation slowly killed the man in the middle, but it was Hotaru who dealt the final blow by melting his brain inside his head. As the flames died down after his death, and Hotaru was coping with the subtle buzz of her kill, the burning skull came to life. "Hotaru, your father promised me your mothers soul in exchange for bringing you into this life. He betrayed your god you have served faithfully and without question. If you truly are devoted to me, you must expunge your mothers life in my name."
Hotaru was not satisfied with anything anymore. Even after a fresh kill she turned to eye her mother greedily, salivating for more graces from god. She lifted her hand up and formed a small orb of fire. "Open her mouth. He betrayed his god, so we must take the one thing he loves more than god itself." she said, her voice low and wispy. Two of the followers wrenched her mouth open while she protested with all her might. Chiyasha seemed to have accepted his fate and remained silent looking at the ground. "Force his eyes open to watch."
She forced the orb of fire into her mouth and down her throat into the pit of her stomach and expanding it, literally burning her from the inside out. You could see the light of fire spread throughout her body. She died quickly due to overheating and before her father could even mourn, blood spilled forth from his neck. His daughter leaned forward to whisper into his ear, bloody knife in her hand. "Jashin has fulfilled his vow."[/spoilername]

That wasn't actually a lie either, half of the reason she left was to avoid that. They bought the story and the rest of the night seemed to play like normal.
For the next few months, Hotaru was pressured on all sides to embrace the power of Jashin until she finally gave in and attended a sacrificial ceremony. When she plunged the knife into that body, and literally felt the ecstasy flow through her hands into every cell of her body, she was hooked. They had gagged and hooded her victim for her that night. She was too short to reach, so she demanded them removed before she would shove the knife back in the body. As the metal slide past the flesh, all those around her shuddered in their own perverse pleasure. Jashin's first step of revenge had been completed.
Years went by...
Hotaru graduated from the academy. She grew in her faith. But she dared not mention things to her family, despite Jashin's subtle nudging. She would be the instrument of his ultimate revenge.
She was on mission and things weren't going well. She stole a captive they had worked so hard to and took him out to the middle of the forest and put him to flame. She burned him with such intense heat that he turned to ash in a matter of seconds. She quaked in pleasure and fell to her knees. This was a prayer of power to Jashin, for favor in the coming days. But for the first time, he spoke to her directly from the smoldering flames of her sacrifice. "If you would seek the power to destroy your enemies, you must return your father to my fold, and bring your mother as well. You must display your true devotion to me my daughter, by forcing them to witness your faith. Only then will I give you all my gifts to use for my bidding, and for your pleasure."
She nearly refused him until he mentioned there was even more to gain. Every iota in her body lusted after what he offered; it was impossible to say no.
The next day, she ignored the warnings and directives from her superiors and took to the battlefield. They were supposed to help from the shadows, but it wasn't enough. She walked through the rank and file of the army that had paid for their assistance and stood before a legion of sneering fools. "In your name, Jashin, I will destroy these meaningless souls!" she called at the top of her lungs. The enemy began to laugh... Hotaru slowly made a serious of hand-seals and place her arms forward. In front of her, an orb of explosive chakra began to form and it just kept growing. Even after she turned around and walked away.
The soldiers on the other side began to scramble, realizing their death was imminent. But it was too late. The chakra finally fired off and a mushroom cloud soon followed. The number of souls harvested by her bomb made her go weak at the knees, but she kept standing. Instead she shrieked to expend as much energy as she could, terrifying those in the allied army and her fellow ninja alike. After her episode, she looked up overwhelmed, smile on her face. She trembled as she walked back to where her squad mates were waiting. However, Hotaru just walked past them, in the direction of Kusagakure. She had a task to complete.
It had been some time since she saw her family, so it was easy to persuade them to attend dinner with her. But when they arrived at the underground chapel, her father realized what was happening. But one look from Hotaru stopped him in his tracks; he could see Jashin looking back at him. Down the stairs they walked, her mother confused. They arrived on the landing and her parents were quickly apprehended and tied to posts. There was the usual sacrifice in the center, and they were placed across of them some ten yards away. Prime position to watch their daughter kill a man in exchange for Jashin's blessing.
Hours went by as the congregation slowly killed the man in the middle, but it was Hotaru who dealt the final blow by melting his brain inside his head. As the flames died down after his death, and Hotaru was coping with the subtle buzz of her kill, the burning skull came to life. "Hotaru, your father promised me your mothers soul in exchange for bringing you into this life. He betrayed your god you have served faithfully and without question. If you truly are devoted to me, you must expunge your mothers life in my name."
Hotaru was not satisfied with anything anymore. Even after a fresh kill she turned to eye her mother greedily, salivating for more graces from god. She lifted her hand up and formed a small orb of fire. "Open her mouth. He betrayed his god, so we must take the one thing he loves more than god itself." she said, her voice low and wispy. Two of the followers wrenched her mouth open while she protested with all her might. Chiyasha seemed to have accepted his fate and remained silent looking at the ground. "Force his eyes open to watch."
She forced the orb of fire into her mouth and down her throat into the pit of her stomach and expanding it, literally burning her from the inside out. You could see the light of fire spread throughout her body. She died quickly due to overheating and before her father could even mourn, blood spilled forth from his neck. His daughter leaned forward to whisper into his ear, bloody knife in her hand. "Jashin has fulfilled his vow."[/spoilername]

Still actively roleplaying in any other threads?
<I>Upon death, roleplayers in ANY of your other incomplete thread(s) are to vote whether they can deal with your non-existence from the beginning of these thread(s). Whether you joined these thread(s) before or after you entered the battle that got you killed, you are still considered a part of these thread(s).
- If players vote yes, you get to move on to your next life.
- If players vote no, you must stay in those threads as if you were still alive.
You can still train (see: explanation of Limbo Training below) and do other OOC things, but you may NOT join any new threads. After you have completed these thread(s), post in OCR again and we will move you on to your next life.
What is Limbo Training?
This is the training that you would have gotten if you did not move on to your new character's life. Your caps are determined by your rebirthed stats. You must keep a record of your stats gained during limbo in your OCR thread. You may NOT request for an automatic rank up should you find that your new stats allow you to upgrade.
Things that do NOT transfer with your next character:
Advanced Shop purchases are CHARACTER BOUND. They do not transfer with your next character and must be re-accomplished for your new character
