Reactivate! Yasha Sojobo or Whatever

*Rolls in, wearing Cmod hat.*

Youkai is a-okay, as also noted in the request topic which also contains the papertrail.

 

[Tsukino Nanami]

Plot has come to a decision about you and Rain.
Due to your current concept of use of Rain, we as plot has denied your usage of Rain.

If you re-do your history involving Rain, then we can take it back and review your usage of Rain.
The current version does not have Rain as a destroyed village. It hasn't been established that it's even a shinobi village.

 

[Kurosawa Nataku]

No worries, so here's what I got now, this should require no permission except from Missing Council (I took out Konoha, Amegakure, and any references to any players so there shouldn't be any conflict):

Character History

Spoiler

• Early Life: Sojobo wanted to help people as a child, and at a young age learned he was a demon from a powerful bloodline. He was still new, not capable of understanding the gravity of what that meant. He had no idea what he was capable of, nor did he know how he was different from a human. He swore to do good, and not fit the stereotype, and as such he became a Med-Nin.
• A Visit: Sent off on a mission, Sojobo went to an allied shinobi village. However, things took a turn when a ninja from his home village arrived and bombed the Kage Tower. As it turns out, this was a ninja who had left the village and gone rogue. Sojobo was ordered to stay in this village and try to maintain relations while investigating the matters. He was left there for about a year with no communication. Eventually, he decided it was time to go home as no response came. Upon arriving at the gates, a corrupt ANBU Sennin took offense to Sojobo's year-long absence, and exiled him. This drove Sojobo into a new stage of his life.
• Senkaku: Sojobo developed a split personality disorder. This alter ego, Senkaku, was straightforward and very indulgent in pleasure. Senkaku traveled the world, as Sojobo hid deeper within his own mind to escape his sadness. He encountered a ghost of which he grew affection for, and begun a friendship. At the time, he could not have expected where this friendship would lead.
• The Dark Side: Somewhere in his travels, Sojobo learned something new about himself. He had visited nearly every major shinobi village and decided to complete his journey. Before he made it, however, something strange happened. He met himself. It was then that he learned that he had developed the Rinnegan a long time ago, and a mentor who also shared the eyes had found him. This man claimed to be part of the Seven Swordsman, and would train Sojobo. However, as part of the deal, Sojobo would take over a body of a man he killed. Thus, being two separate people, the swordsman would inscribe a seal upon him that would separate the two bodies. He was literally living years of his life as two different people without even knowing. This explained the split personality disorder, and upon regaining this control and willpower, he understood himself. He was not a single entity anymore, but a consciousness that drifted among vessels. It was years before this awakening happened. When it did, it was because his mentor died. Sojobo, blames himself for his death, as he was unable to help in the most crucial moment. He likely won't talk about it, but nobody besides himself even knows that it happened. This body of Sojobo's became the new Fire Swordsman of the Seven.
• The Summit: In Sojobo's visit to the final major shinobi village, he met with his friend again. Here they hatched a plan to start a new shinobi state, where democracy would rule and shinobi would work FOR the people, not control them. They determined a location for it, and set off to make it happen. It was to be the new hope for everyone in this horrible world of shinobi, or so they believed.
• Back Home: Sojobo was eventually pardoned by his village leader. It was revealed that a corrupt Sennin banished him in the first place, and thus he was never truly gone. He was offered a spot back in the ranks, and he accepted it then. He knew, deep down, that he would eventually leave and start his new village. But for then, he was back home. It wasn't enough for him. He was dissatisfied with how things had changed. His old friends were gone, as is the shinobi way. He didn't recognize the place, or himself.
• A Separate State: Sojobo had adopted a student, almost as a son. In reality, he and his ghost girlfriend could never actually have children. This son, was a prodigy. He was who Sojobo hoped would succeed him in the future. Eventually, the day came and they fled, going rogue. Sojobo brought his son with him, and ensured his safe escape (as they were almost stopped at the gates). They went to their new village, where a hired shinobi had erected towers of rock from the Earth. Here they laid the seeds for the foundation of their new village. It grew in popularity fast, and the day came.
• The Election: They held an election, for Kage. This was unheard of in other states. Sojobo won. He was the first Kage of this new village. Unbeknownst to everyone, he would be the last.
• The End: When the day came, Sojobo seemed to be prepared. It's as if he knew the fall was coming, and was just keeping things together so that people could remain calm. It was sad because he spent all those years planning, and then only had a few years to run the village before it collapsed. In a final act he used his Rikudo Sennin paths to seal up the Three Fountain Palace, the seat of the government, so that it could be retained for the future. It was a beautifully crafted masterpiece of a structure that combined a twisted trio of the stone towers with the futuristic architecture of their finest workers. More than that, it was a symbol of what could have been. This was a major failure for Sojobo, and perhaps the most crushing of all things that happened to him. The village is now a shell of what it used to be, hidden so well (and so forgotten) that nobody even remembers how to get there. Nobody except for Sojobo, that is.
• Present Day: Sojobo awakens in the Diamond Maelstrom outside Sunagakure, considering himself a failure in all respects. Exiled from his home village, he swore to protect it from the outside. Then, he founded his own village, and failed to protect it as its leader. In depression, he goes absent-minded and forgets about his original village. He returns to see it completely destroyed, annihilated in his absence. Barely even a single memory remains there. He had two villages, and failed to protect either one of them. As one of the strongest shinobi who ever lived, Sojobo feels that he is the worst kind of failure. Then a few years seemed to just vanish. He couldn't figure it out, but one day he just woke up with memory loss. The details of his recent life were more or less erased, and he was confined to a single body. There were no paths, no anything. No traces of his prior life remained, and now he struggles to identify who he is.

Also, can I have the custom class above approved as well as the use of my CA points? Or does that need to be done elsewhere?

 

[Tsukino Nanami]

I'm going to leave This here.
The above is the list of NPC villages associated with PC villages.

I'm going to deny this history for the following reasons:
1 - If you are rebirthing as a mercenary, you will need to have come from a village. The village is required to be stated in your OCR. [Stated Here]
2 - I looked through your post history. While you were in Leaf prior to the transition, you didn't make a single IC Post in Leaf. Therefore I cannot allow you to OCR into a Mercenary. You will have to OCR into a village.
3 - Back to the history... So your home village got the kage tower bombed. What was this village?
4 - Who was this corrupt ANBU Sennin? Again, what village are you referencing?
5 - You're going to have to divulge more in your MPD upon filling out a proper OCR form.
6 - In Sojobo's visit to the final major shinobi village, he met with his friend again. Here they hatched a plan to start a new shinobi state, where democracy would rule and shinobi would work FOR the people, not control them. They determined a location for it, and set off to make it happen. It was to be the new hope for everyone in this horrible world of shinobi, or so they believed.

• Soo.. Rain right?

7 - Pardoned by your village leader? From what village?
8 - You CANNOT be an elected official.
9 - Three Fountain Palace -- Wasn't that an RP area in Rain? Oh right. Your CRPJ to seal up a castle into a scroll. I remember that.


--
Need I remind you that Rain still doesn't exist. While you made no actual mention to Rain, I know of it's structure from the previous version and the fact that you sealed the castle within a scroll.
This is v6. This is a new site version with a new history and Rain wasn't invited to the party.
You also used your character's history from before the hack (which was v5.0 timeline). We aren't cool with you using v5.0 timeline. You left things blank in terms of village affiliations but your history wouldn't make sense in the current timeline. You were exiled by a random corrupt Sennin of a random village. That random village got the tower blown up. You returned home and eventually became the most powerful shinobi in said random village. You then packed up (including the castle) and left the village.
I know how difficult it is to let go of v5.5... But you're going to have to let go and start anew in v6.

New plot, new characters. Your story is an open book now so please create a new story and not continue to re-hash stories from the past.
Also, you can't OCR into missing due to your lack of RPing in Leaf before the transition and before Leaf fell. Please OCR into a village.

 

[Kurosawa Nataku]

Please try not to be too hostile with me, I'm simply doing what I'm told. If you had said from the start to just make myself a shinobi of a village I would have. I will change my history until it is satisfactory to all parties.

So sign me up for Sunagakure then. You can move this topic to Sunagakure OCR if you want, if that makes things easier. Here's my new history:

Character History

Spoiler

• Early Life: Sojobo wanted to help people as a child, and at a young age learned he was a demon from a powerful bloodline. He was still new, not capable of understanding the gravity of what that meant. He had no idea what he was capable of, nor did he know how he was different from a human. His father began to train him. He grew up in a farming village in a hidden oasis in the desert area around Sunagakure. At a young age his village was attacked and destroyed, leaving only burnt remains of what it used to be. He blamed himself for the failure. He was the prodigy son, incredibly strong, and he was supposed to protect the village in his father's absence. He failed.
• A Restart: While he never confirmed that his parents died, he also hasn't seen them since. He went to Sunagakure at the age of 12, determined to not to be the usual demon. He swore to do good, and not fit the stereotype, and as such he became a Med-Nin. He was doing incredibly well, but something bad happened. During his work, he was sent on a mission with his team. These were the only people he really talked to on a regular basis. If anything, they were his friends. It was supposed to be a simple recon mission, but turned into a struggle that Sojobo will never forget. At least, he thought he would never forget. Somehow, over the years, the details of this incident have left him. All he knows is that at the end, he was the only squad member remaining.
• Senkaku: Sojobo developed a split personality disorder. This alter ego, Senkaku, was straightforward and very indulgent in pleasure. Senkaku traveled the world, as Sojobo hid deeper within his own mind to escape his sadness. He encountered a ghost of which he grew affection for, and begun a friendship with a man nicknamed "Bear". At the time, he could not have expected where this friendship would lead.
• The Dark Side: Somewhere in his travels, Sojobo learned something new about himself. He had visited nearly every major shinobi village and decided to complete his journey. Before he made it, however, something strange happened. He met another shinobi who had the Rinnegan. This triggered a memory, and he flashed back the remembering that he too posessed the Rinnegan. He learned that he had developed the Rinnegan a long time ago, and a mentor who also shared the eyes had found him. This man claimed to be part of the Seven Swordsman, and would train Sojobo. However, as part of the deal, Sojobo would take over a body of a man he killed. Thus, being two separate people, the swordsman would inscribe a seal upon him that would separate the two bodies. He was literally living years of his life as two different people without even knowing. This explained the split personality disorder, and upon regaining this control and willpower, he understood himself. He was not a single entity anymore, but a consciousness that drifted among vessels. It was years before this awakening happened. When it did, it stalled Sojobo's path on an important mission with his mentor. This ended in the death of the Fire Swordsman. Sojobo, blames himself for the death, as he was unable to help in the most crucial moment. He likely won't talk about it, but nobody besides himself even knows that it happened. This body of Sojobo's became the new Fire Swordsman of the Seven.
• The Summit: In Sojobo's travels, he met with his friend Bear again. Here they hatched a plan to start a new shinobi state, where democracy would rule and shinobi would work FOR the people, not control them. They determined a location for it--the hidden farming village oasis Sojobo grew up on--, and set off to make it happen. It was to be the new hope for everyone in this horrible world of shinobi, or so they believed.
• A Separate State: Sojobo had adopted a student, almost as a son. In reality, he and his ghost girlfriend could never actually have children. This son, was a prodigy. He was who Sojobo hoped would succeed him in the future. Sojobo remained a Sunagakure shinobi, but decided to simultaneously create this village in secret. Sojobo brought his son with him. They went to their new village, where a hired shinobi had erected towers of rock from the Earth. Here they laid the seeds for the foundation of their new village.
• The Election: They held an election, for Kage. This was unheard of in other states. While his village wasn't really recognized, or established as a major shinobi village, they still felt proud in their work. Sojobo won the election. He was the first Kage of this new village. Unbeknownst to everyone, he would be the last.
• The End: When the day came, Sojobo seemed to be prepared. It's as if he knew the fall was coming, and was just keeping things together so that people could remain calm and believe in his failed dream. It was sad because he spent all those years planning, and then only had a few years to run the village before it collapsed. In a final act he used his Rikudo Sennin paths to seal up a vault which held valued artifacts of his life here in the farming village. It was a reminder for himself. More than that, it was a symbol of what could have been. This was a major failure for Sojobo, and perhaps the most crushing of all things that happened to him. The village is now a shell of what it used to be, overrun by sand.
• Present Day: Sojobo awakens in Sunagakure, considering himself a failure in all respect. His home village was destroyed under his protection. Then, he founded his own village on the shell of what his village used to be, and failed to protect that too as its leader. In depression, he goes absent-minded. He returns to his senses, and barely even a single memory remains there. He had two villages, and failed to protect either one of them. As one of the strongest shinobi who ever lived, Sojobo feels that he is the worst kind of failure. Then a few years seemed to just vanish. He couldn't figure it out, but one day he just woke up with memory loss, realizing that he spent the last few years just being a shell of a person. The details of his recent life were more or less erased, and he was confined to a single body. There were no paths, no anything. No traces of his prior life remained, and now he struggles to identify who he is.

I'll ask again, can I have my Custom Class and CA point usage approved here, or do I need to do that elsewhere?

 

[Tsukino Nanami]

As a member of Plot.
You were never a Kage of another village. This village also never actually existed.
Plot has still denied your history. Regardless of what village you OCR into, Plot will deny your history until you completely remove mention of yourself having been made a kage of Rain. Please change your history.
I will be reading your history until you actually change your history. This is my job and this is the 3rd incarnation of the same history. Please, please, please change it entirely.

 

[Tsuirakuya Shashu]

Couple things:

-The Seven Swordsmen never existed in this version. If you want to use them, I suggest you go about re-creating them through actual RP.

-You cannot make up villages and claim that you were elected Kage. Setting aside that this is obviously still referencing Rain (just without saying the word), you cannot claim elected positions/positions of power such as Sennin, Kage, Daimyo/Shogun, etc without actually RPing for them in this version. In addition, any mention of new villages for use in RP/History (named or otherwise) must be applied for through Plot. If you are unable to obtain Plot's permission, you may not use them.

-We've gone over how pre-hack history is not accepted in this version, both through Nanami and Admin channels. I ask that you respect that decision. I would personally suggest putting some thought into creating a new and unique character. Should you desire to remake your previous character that would fine as well, but as stated none of their previous history will be allowed. You will have to start their story anew.

Thank you for your cooperation.

 

[Kurosawa Nataku]

Okay, so I'm not allowed to make up my own non-important village for personal plot advancement? Because I literally defined a farming village (not a shinobi village) in an oasis in the desert that gets destroyed in time by weather and bandits, and then Sojobo attempts to use that as a location for a new shinobi village that he himself creates (but that the world does not recognize and isn't exactly large or powerful enough to make a difference) and then collapses shortly after. So you're right, he was never actually Kage of a village, but in his own mind he was because that's how he viewed the situation. You claim that's against the rules, so I've removed it. The village is far from Rain at this point, but I just don't care as much as you guys clearly do. I don't see why we keep playing this game.

The Seven Swordsmen never existed in this version, nor did they exist in the last. In fact, they were a group of players (myself included) who decided we would make our own little group and call it the Seven Swordsmen just for fun and as an additional RP element to use. My use of it here is the same. The Seven Swordsmen does not exist, but one of the characters involved in my history claims to be a part of this non-existent group. I don't see why this would cause issues, but I can remove it. What I've done in this case is make it clear that Sojobo never met anyone of the Seven Swordsman, and only knows of their existence because his mentor claimed to be a part of them (I make it very clear that his mentor made these claims, but never seemed to have proof). I have no intention of ever using another swordsman in an RP, and only intend to use this as a base for how Sojobo was trained to be a shinobi.

Try not to accuse me of not respecting the decision, as I'm respecting everything that's been told to me. It just seems that something new comes up every time I change what has been asked of me. If you wanted me to make a completely new character, you should have said that in the way beginning. Instead it's been little things that are being poked at in what appears to be an attempt to stall my OCR and make things difficult to me. I realize that is not your intention, however, so I do not mean any offense. I'm simply asking you to understand where I'm coming from here, and that I do intend to cooperate fully and make sure that my history is acceptable.

So then allow me to propose a new history:

Character History

Spoiler

• Early Life: Sojobo wanted to help people as a child, and at a young age learned he was a demon from a powerful bloodline. At the time, he was studying to become a shinobi in Sunagakure. He was but a student, unsure of what he really wanted to do. He was still new, not capable of understanding the gravity of what it meant that he was a demon. He had no idea what he was capable of, nor did he know how he was different from a human. His father began to train him. Every so often, his father would take him outside of Sunagakure to a hidden oasis in the desert area around Sunagakure. Here they would train for extended periods at a time, farming the land to stay fed. Sojobo quickly became a prodigy, and once his father deemed him strong enough to handle his own, things started changing. First his father would start harboring people in the oasis. Why this was the case was unknown to Sojobo. Were they criminals; were they spies? They didn't seem much like shinobi. One day, his father was sent off on a mission and asked Sojobo to go to the oasis and protect it in his absence. He did as he was told, and went there. He spent three nights sleeping there with no incident, but when he woke up on the fourth day something was wrong. In his sleep, he managed to miss a raid on the oasis that left much of the farm destroyed and the little straw huts burnt. All of the people that were staying there were either dead or missing. He blamed himself for the failure. He was the prodigy son, incredibly strong, and he was supposed to protect the place in his father's absence. He failed.
• A Restart: While he never confirmed that his parents died, he also hasn't seen them since. He left Sunagakure at the age of 12 to protect the oasis and on his return home he found his family missing. Even his house was just an empty shell of what it used to be, most of the personal touches (including a lot of furniture) were gone. He swore to do good, and not fit the stereotype of being a demon, and as such he became a Med-Nin. He was doing incredibly well, but something bad happened. During his work, he was sent on a mission with his team. These were the only people he really talked to on a regular basis. If anything, they were his friends. It was supposed to be a simple recon mission, but turned into a struggle that Sojobo will never forget. At least, he thought he would never forget. Somehow, over the years, the details of this incident have left him. All he knows is that at the end, he was the only squad member remaining.
• Senkaku: Sojobo developed a split personality disorder. This alter ego, Senkaku, was straightforward and very indulgent in pleasure. Senkaku traveled the world, as Sojobo hid deeper within his own mind to escape his sadness. He encountered a ghost of which he grew affection for, and begun a friendship with a man nicknamed "Bear". At the time, he could not have expected where this friendship would lead. All he knew is that of all the people in the world, Bear was the most genuine he had ever met.
• The Dark Side: Somewhere in his travels, Sojobo learned something new about himself. He had visited nearly every major shinobi village and decided to complete his journey. Before he made it, however, something strange happened. He met another shinobi who had the Rinnegan. This triggered a memory, and he flashed back the remembering that he too posessed the Rinnegan. He learned that he had developed the Rinnegan a long time ago, and a mentor who also shared the eyes had found him. This man claimed to be part of the Seven Swordsman (a fact Sojobo was never able to confirm), and would train Sojobo. However, as part of the deal, Sojobo would take over a body of a man he killed. Thus, being two separate people, the swordsman would inscribe a seal upon him that would separate the two bodies. He was literally living years of his life as two different people without even knowing. This explained the split personality disorder, and upon regaining this control and willpower, he understood himself. He was not a single entity anymore, but a consciousness that drifted among vessels. It was years before this awakening happened. The awakening was triggered because this man he met as another shinobi who possessed the Rinnegan was actually his other path. When this moment happened, it stalled Sojobo's path on an important mission with his mentor. This ended in the death of the Fire Swordsman of the Seven (or so he claims). Sojobo blames himself for the death, as he was unable to help in the most crucial moment. He likely won't talk about it, but nobody besides himself even knows that it happened. Sojobo swore he would uphold the code that his mentor had taught to him and carry on the will of the Fire Swordsman.
• The Summit: In Sojobo's travels, he met with his friend Bear again. Here they hatched a plan to start a new shinobi state, where democracy would rule and shinobi would work FOR the people, not control them. They determined a location for it--the hidden farming oasis Sojobo trained in at a younger--, and set off to make it happen. It was to be the new hope for everyone in this horrible world of shinobi, or so they believed.
• A Separate State: Sojobo had adopted a student, almost as a son. In reality, he and his ghost girlfriend could never actually have children. This son, was a prodigy. He was who Sojobo hoped would succeed him in the future. Sojobo remained a Sunagakure shinobi, but decided to simultaneously create this village in secret. Sojobo brought his son with him. They went to their new village, where every plan they made fell into shambles.
• The Election: They held an election, for Kage. This was unheard of in other states. While his village wasn't really recognized and only was made up of about 10 people pulled together, they still felt proud in their work. But it backfired. During the election, a masked figure appeared. He would not claim a name or representation, he only came for one thing. Sojobo's son. While Sojobo's son was giving a speech this masked figure appeared behind him. He moved so fast that not even Sojobo could stop him. A blade appeared, and chopped his son's head off cleanly. Then the masked man declared, "If you continue down this path of establishing a new shinobi state, this will be your fate." Just like that, the man vanished, leaving Sojobo defeated.
• The End: Despite Bear's best efforts, Sojobo gave up. It wasn't just giving up on the village, it was giving up on life itself. The weather agreed with him on this point, as the oasis would slowly die and be replaced by sand. When Sojobo left, he was about 22 years old. The next time he returns there he will find barely any memories. Only sand.
• Present Day: Sojobo awakens in Sunagakure, considering himself a failure in all respect. The people in the oasis died under his protection. To make things worse, his family disappeared shortly after. He attempted to create his own village on the shell of the oasis, and that led to him failing to protect his own adopted son. In depression, he goes absent-minded for years. These years seemed to have just vanished. One day he woke up and realized how much of his life he had just wasted. He returns to his senses, and barely even a single memory remains there. As one of the strongest shinobi who ever lived, Sojobo feels that he is the worst kind of failure. The details of his recent life were more or less erased, and he was confined to a single body. There were no paths, no anything. No traces of his prior life remained, and now he struggles to identify who he is.

And for the life of me I can't even count how many times I have asked this question and had it completely unanswered: Can I have my Custom Class and CA point usage approved here, or must that be done elsewhere?

 

[Tsukino Nanami]

Well, while the history seems a lot better...
I'll take this new thing up to plot (since it also has to do with an unnamed village -- or attempt there-of).
I'll be back shortly with the decision..

As for your questions:
Custom Class: Yes, you can create it in your OCR.
CA Points: No. While you may do your app for obtaining your CA in your OCR.. you spend CA points in your dojo.

 

[Kurosawa Nataku]

I wouldn't consider it an unnamed village since it is literally just an oasis where Sojobo trained. At one point there were up to 10 people there, if that makes it a "village" so be it. It was more a village in his mind that an actual village. Nobody lives there permanently and present day IC it doesn't exist and is just part of the desert.

Thank you for answering my questions. I'll repost my Custom Class for approval. When my history gets approved (I suppose it needs Sand Council approval) does this mean I can start RPing? Should this topic be moved to Sand OCR?

Also, at some point, somebody gave me access to the Missing areas. I posted up a Profile, Dojo, and Training thread. Then my access was revoked. Whenever I get access to Sunagakure, could somebody also move my profile/training/dojo topics there too? It took a little bit of time to set those up the way I wanted.

 

[Kurosawa Nataku]

I was cautioned against using the name "The Seven Swordsman" in my RP because it used to exist on the old site (and for the record, I was a part of it). Allow me to clear something up: There is no actual Seven Swordsman. I am not referencing the swordsman from the old site. I cannot stress this enough. I will fill in additional details to make this point clear. So you understand, Sojobo's mentor met him and claimed to be part of an organization he called the Seven Swordsman. Under this premise, Sojobo learned a code and a system of values that he would follow in alignment with this organization's goals. What he didn't know was that his mentor was playing him, using the idea of an organization to further his own personal goals. Sojobo still does not know this.

As for this so-called village that requires plot approval, I have to re-iterate that this is not a village. It is a small desert oasis where Sojobo's father used to take him to train. Every now and then, his father would hide civilians there for reasons unknown to Sojobo (were they criminals?). One day, the place gets attacked and burnt down under Sojobo's protection, costing the lives of the current residing civilians. Later, Sojobo attempts to start a shinobi village in that same oasis. He has about 10 people present for their "Election" when everything falls apart, his son has his head chopped off, and he stops continuing this path. In present day, the oasis is no more, only sand covering remains of what used to be. So at no point in time was this a village, nor is it presently a village, nor did it ever have a name, a banner, a headband, or anything. It is simply a plot element for my own personal character history. If that really requires approval, so be it, but I don't really see why.

Please be upfront with me, is there anything else that must change about the following history?

Character History

• Early Life: Sojobo wanted to help people as a child, and at a young age learned he was a demon from a powerful bloodline. At the time, he was studying to become a shinobi in Sunagakure. He was but a student, unsure of what he really wanted to do. He was still new, not capable of understanding the gravity of what it meant that he was a demon (a half-demon really, as no pure-blooded demons from his line exist anymore). He had no idea what he was capable of, nor did he know how he was different from a human. His father began to train him. Every so often, his father would take him outside of Sunagakure to a hidden oasis in the desert area around Sunagakure. Here they would train for extended periods at a time, farming the land to stay fed. Sojobo quickly became a prodigy, and once his father deemed him strong enough to handle his own, things started changing. First his father would start harboring people in the oasis.

One day, his father was sent off on a mission and asked Sojobo to go to the oasis and protect it in his absence. He did as he was told, and went there. He spent three nights sleeping there with no incident, but when he woke up on the fourth day something was wrong. In his sleep, he managed to miss a raid on the oasis that left much of the farm destroyed and the little straw huts burnt. All of the people that were staying there were either dead or missing. He blamed himself for the failure. He was the prodigy son, incredibly strong, and he was supposed to protect the place in his father's absence. He failed.
• A Restart: While he never confirmed that his parents died, he also hasn't seen them since. He left Sunagakure at the age of 12 to protect the oasis and on his return home he found his family missing. Even his house was just an empty shell of what it used to be, most of the personal touches (including a lot of furniture) were gone. He swore to do good, and not fit the stereotype of being a demon, and as such he became a Med-Nin. He was doing incredibly well, but something bad happened. During his work, he was sent on a mission with his team. These were the only people he really talked to on a regular basis. If anything, they were his friends. It was supposed to be a simple recon mission, but turned into a struggle that Sojobo will never forget. At least, he thought he would never forget. Somehow, over the years, the details of this incident have left him. All he knows is that at the end, he was the only squad member remaining.
• Senkaku: Sojobo developed a split personality disorder. This alter ego, Senkaku, was straightforward and very indulgent in pleasure. Senkaku traveled the world, as Sojobo hid deeper within his own mind to escape his sadness. He encountered a ghost of which he grew affection for, and begun a friendship with a man nicknamed "Bear". At the time, he could not have expected where this friendship would lead. All he knew is that of all the people in the world, Bear was the most genuine he had ever met.
• The Dark Side: Somewhere in his travels, Sojobo learned something new about himself. He had visited nearly every major shinobi village and decided to complete his journey. Before he made it, however, something strange happened. He met another shinobi who had the Rinnegan. This triggered a memory, and he flashed back the remembering that he too posessed the Rinnegan. He learned that he had developed the Rinnegan a long time ago, and a mentor who also shared the eyes had found him. This man claimed to be part of the Seven Swordsman (a fact Sojobo was never able to confirm), and would train Sojobo. He was lying to Sojobo, convincing him he was part of a larger organization with a code and set of values, only to learn later that he was just advancing personal agenda. However, as part of the deal, Sojobo would take over a body of a man he killed. Thus, being two separate people, the swordsman would inscribe a seal upon him that would separate the two bodies. He was literally living years of his life as two different people without even knowing. This explained the split personality disorder, and upon regaining this control and willpower, he understood himself. He was not a single entity anymore, but a consciousness that drifted among vessels. It was years before this awakening happened. The awakening was triggered because this man he met as another shinobi who possessed the Rinnegan was actually his other path. When this moment happened, it stalled Sojobo's path on an important mission with his mentor. This ended in the death of the Fire Swordsman of the Seven as Sojobo saw it (in reality, it was just his mentor dying, nobody special). Sojobo blames himself for the death, as he was unable to help in the most crucial moment. He likely won't talk about it, but nobody besides himself even knows that it happened. Sojobo swore he would uphold the code that his mentor had taught to him and carry on the will of the Fire Swordsman.
• The Summit: In Sojobo's travels, he met with his friend Bear again. Here they hatched a plan to start a new shinobi state, where democracy would rule and shinobi would work FOR the people, not control them. They determined a location for it--the hidden farming oasis Sojobo trained in at a younger--, and set off to make it happen. It was to be the new hope for everyone in this horrible world of shinobi, or so they believed.
• A Separate State: Sojobo had adopted a student, almost as a son. In reality, he and his ghost girlfriend could never actually have children. This son, was a prodigy. He was who Sojobo hoped would succeed him in the future. Sojobo remained a Sunagakure shinobi, but decided to simultaneously create this village in secret. Sojobo brought his son with him. They went to their new village, where every plan they made fell into shambles.
• The Election: They held an election, for Kage. This was unheard of in other states. While his village wasn't really recognized and only was made up of about 10 people pulled together, they still felt proud in their work. But it backfired. During the election, a masked figure appeared. He would not claim a name or representation, he only came for one thing. Sojobo's son. While Sojobo's son was giving a speech this masked figure appeared behind him. He moved so fast that not even Sojobo could stop him. A blade appeared, and chopped his son's head off cleanly. Then the masked man declared, "If you continue down this path of establishing a new shinobi state, this will be your fate." Just like that, the man vanished, leaving Sojobo defeated.
• The End: Despite Bear's best efforts, Sojobo gave up. It wasn't just giving up on the village, it was giving up on life itself. The weather agreed with him on this point, as the oasis would slowly die and be replaced by sand. When Sojobo left, he was about 22 years old. The next time he returns there he will find barely any memories. Only sand.
• Present Day: Sojobo awakens in Sunagakure, considering himself a failure in all respect. The people in the oasis died under his protection. To make things worse, his family disappeared shortly after. He attempted to create his own village on the shell of the oasis, and that led to him failing to protect his own adopted son. In depression, he goes absent-minded for years. These years seemed to have just vanished. One day he woke up and realized how much of his life he had just wasted. He returns to his senses, and barely even a single memory remains there. As one of the strongest shinobi who ever lived, Sojobo feels that he is the worst kind of failure. The details of his recent life were more or less erased, and he was confined to a single body. There were no paths, no anything. No traces of his prior life remained, and now he struggles to identify who he is.

Also, at some point, somebody gave me access to the Missing areas. I posted up a Profile, Dojo, and Training thread. Then my access was revoked. Whenever I get access to Sunagakure, could somebody also move my profile/training/dojo topics there too? It took a little bit of time to set those up the way I wanted. And feel free to move this to Sand OCR.

 

[Mikaboshi]

If I can be completely honest, and I say this with no intention to flame or troll you, but Sunagakure is barely a footnote in your character's history. It reads a lot like Sand is his place of origin only because he had to be from someplace and the coin-flip happened to come up Sand. If you need some resources on Sand's history there's a piece written FOUND HERE which had a lot of work put into it to build a setting. If you need more specifics, I'd be happy to help out and find a place for you but as I read this it just comes across as a Mercenary application which had no-place else to go.

That being said, the forming a shinobi state thing doesn't bug me nearly as much as the fact that your PC was effectively a missing-nin for 10 years and then returned to Sand with seemingly no consequences (or... really it even being a significant event in his life worth talking about) which is not something that I'm able to +1 on.

 

[Kurosawa Nataku]

That is some good feedback! And you are correct in assuming that Sunagakure was more of an afterthought, so I feel you're right in saying that I owe more to my history and its involvement in Sunagakure.

Let's try a different approach, I've reworked the character entirely and this is what I have. My new character is a Merchant Lord's son named Kurosawa Nataku. He is a Rikudo Sennin and has Demonic Ancestry.


Character History

Spoiler

• Early Life: Nataku was always the kind-hearted child and wanted to help people as much as he could. His younger brother, Miroku, was just the opposite. Somehow they got along. Born to a noble family, Nataku wanted for very little and discovered at a young age that he was a different from almost everyone else. His mother was a skilled doctor and former Med-nin of Sunagakure, and she was the first to notice. Proud of how intelligent her son was she decided to send him to the Toraono Dojo where he could learn to defend himself and study medicine like she did as a shinobi in Sunagakure. Nataku had always felt out of place and frequently felt his mind expand beyond his body. He was still new to life, not capable of understanding the gravity of what it meant to be what he was. He had no idea what he was capable of, nor did he understand how different he truly was from a normal human. During his stay at the Toraono dojo his actions during sparring sessions attracted the attention of the Grandmaster of the Dojo. Toraono Kaibudo began his initial strength training noticing that Nataku was a lot like his youngest son Kuro. Every so often, Kaibudo would send Nataku on training missions in the desert with various teachers to promote a balance between his medical studies and his martial arts which came to rely on swordsmanship. During one training session Nataku stumbled across a hidden oasis that somehow called to him. The animals in this oasis seemed to resonate with him and it was there he met a true Youkai. He would return to this oasis on his own and would train there for extended periods of time. He learned to farm the land to stay fed, he learned to hunt the stronger beasts that would have thought he was prey, using their folly for meat. Nataku quickly became a strong and well-rounded medic/swordsman, and once his mother deemed him strong enough to handle his own life, things started changing. He was sent to live with his father in Soon and it was there he would undertake secret training sessions.
  
• Training Years: His father always taught him that his greatest asset was that nobody knew of his true strength. To everyone else, he was a successful doctor trained by medics from Sunagakure. Secretly he was the heir to his father’s vast fortune and empowered by the blood of his demonic ancestors. His role in the shinobi world was largely a backseat role; he would occasionally heal the shinobi who requested his assistance for pay and those from Suna for free. Thus, all his father’s enemies would underestimate him, and he would have a natural advantage. He swore to do good, and not fit the stereotype of being demon blooded, and as such he hid his demonic powers and carefully practiced medicine in the open and even more carefully in the shadows. He was doing incredibly well, but one day something bad happened. He developed a relationship with a team of shinobi that had lost their medic to a sandwyrm. Every now and them, he would help them out.
  
• Failure: During one of his trips to assist a Nomad Clan near the Mountain region, he had the opportunity to assist this team of shinobi. These were ninja he had gotten to know on a regular basis from their frequent outings and as such they knew he was a great medic and capable swordsman. If anything, they were his friends. It was supposed to be a simple gathering and distribution of supplies mission, but it turned into a struggle that Nataku swore he would never forget. At least at the time he thought that way. The trauma of the massive battle with strange warriors of elemental power damaged not only his body but his psyche as these warriors wiped out his team and much of the nomadic tribe he had come to help. Flashes of the battle echoed through his mind where he had been confronted by a strange lightning wielding warrior whom had all but killed him. Nataku survived the attack through muscle memory alone. The women of the tribe whom found him told him that he had been struck by lightning over and over but refused to fall and kept lashing out with his sword giving them the chance to flee and hide. He took little solace in that since over 60% of their 210 person tribe had been slaughtered along with his friends because he had not been strong enough in his mind. Over the years, the details of the attack seemed to fade away from him. All he remembered was that at the end, he was the only squad member remaining. The memory would latch onto his mind like a long lost lover at the oddest times. Each time the memory resurfaced Nataku believed that it was his fault and failure to perform as a Med-Nin that led to the tragedy.
  
• The Dark Side: His father would later tell him that it was his lack of awareness that led to their defeat, and that if he had mastered his darkside then he would have been more than capable. The despair shattered his mind causing Nataku to develop a split personality disorder. This alter ego, Senkaku, was straightforward and very indulgent in pleasure and vengeance. Senkaku was outgoing, as Nataku hid deeper within his own mind to escape his sadness over his perceived failure. He encountered a woman of which he grew to care for, and began a friendship with her. Her nickname was “Kuma (Bear)” and that was how he referred to her. They were acquaintances from the academy, but once her squad died as well they became closer as Senkaku was there to comfort her. All he knew is that of all the people in the world, Bear was the most genuine he had ever met.
  
• The Awakening: While working on treatments for some children with Sandwyrm fever, Nataku learned something new about himself. He ran into Kuro briefly and noted that he had a demonic power within his eyes. This triggered a flood of memories, and he flashed back the remembering that he too possessed eyes like Kuro. When he was a child he had been able to turn the Rinnegan on and off and then as he hid his abilities like his father had taught him. How had he forgotten something so primal to himself. Nataku talked with Kuro for a while and actually received a full explanation on how Kuro called upon his expanded existence. Taking it to heart he began to study himself once more and push the boundaries within his mind to find what he had lost within himself. He found himself searching for more forms of weapons training to push himself.
  
• Sensei: He found a master near the edge of Wind Country near a gambling hall of great renown. He claimed he could teach Nataku the way of Heaven’s Sword. He was lying to Nataku, convincing him that he was part of a larger organization with a code and set of values, only to learn later that he was just advancing personal agenda. He did, however, have the foresight to know that Nataku could be an incredibly dangerous swordsman who needed a set of values to control his potential. As part of the deal, Nataku would take over the body of a man he killed, and use that to constantly train with his new sensei. After explaining this to Kuma, they came to the conclusion that this swordsman was the man that had killed Bear’s squad on their resupply mission. The seals he used were like those of the elemental warriors he had fought to a standstill long ago. Nataku still had unexplained memory loss, never knowing it was an alternate personality that caused it. Senkaku had long ago learned to inscribe a seal upon himself that would separate his consciousness into different bodies, dividing his soul among them. Nataku was literally living years of his life as two different people without even knowing. Until mastering the seal himself he had never known he had a split personality disorder. Upon regaining this control and willpower, he understood himself. He was not a single entity anymore, but a consciousness that drifted among vessels.
  
• Fleeting: Fate struck again, as Senkaku's path had been on an important mission for his sensei. Nataku was at work experimenting with seals and managed to unlock the one Senkaku had created. This caused an unintended consequence: Senkaku's path suddenly stopped existing. It just dropped, a lifeless corpse. This, in turn, interrupted the important mission. As a result of this, his mentor did was not able to be warned of the attack and perished at the hand of enemy shinobi. As Senkaku saw it, this was the same guy that had killed Bear's squad and so he didn't feel bad. Senkaku might have killed him himself. Nataku however blames himself for yet more death, as he was unable to help someone in their most crucial moment. He likely won't talk about it, but nobody besides Senkaku even knows that it happened. Nataku swore he would uphold the code that his mentor falsely imprinted upon him.
  
• The Second Loss: Nataku returned to Sunagakure now and then as he had begun a romantic relationship with his friend Bear. All this time, he had managed to keep the extreme strength he possessed a secret from even his closest friends and his mother. He was mostly quiet with his mother, rarely getting involved in politics and regular civilian behavior. He came off as socially reserved. With Kuma, he was outgoing and bubbly. Even she didn’t know, but she found out one day. Nataku found out Kuma was being sent on a secret mission that was supposed to be extremely dangerous. Naturally, she didn’t tell Nataku about it, but he had his ways. He followed her, keeping an eye on her from time to time making sure she remained safe. His watchful eye wasn’t enough, as a three man team of shinobi surrounded her. He could barely even flinch before he was forced to watch her get impaled from behind with a sword, two more blades flashed each striking vital points her heart, spine, and lungs were all pierced in milliseconds. That was it, no witnesses on the street except Nataku at a distance, just as Bear’s body began slumping to the ground. One of the masked shinobi turned and looked at Nataku and said, “If you continue down this path Doctor, this will be your fate.” Nataku was desolate as dark rage filled his entire being. Discovered he leaped out from his hiding spot and attacked. He was much stronger than these masked shinobi could have ever anticipated. Nataku did something he had never done before, he transformed into his full demon form and ripped them apart, spreading their remains across the sand. Then he went to ‘Bear’ and tried to use his Medical Jutsu to save her. It was a too late, and he knew it as he smelled the sour –sweet stink of carmot laced poison, it wasn’t just destroying her blood cells it was eating her chakra so she couldn’t resist it. Her last words to him were, “You’re pretty scary…” as a weak smile appeared on her face. Then she died, there in the sand cradled in his demonic arms. This is the last memory Nataku remembers. The last time he felt emotion. The last time he felt anything.
• Present Day: Nataku awakens in Sunagakure, considering himself a failure in all respects. He could not protect the ones he loved. In depression, Nataku allowed Senkaku to take over his mind and goes absent-minded for years. Then the Cabal attacked. One day he woke up buried in rubble just beneath the remains of the Kazekage’s tower. Nataku returns to his natural senses at the age of 24, and only the memories of his training remain. What happened to the last few years? Nataku feels that he is the worst kind of failure. The details of his life as Senkaku are still hidden from Nataku but for how long? He was confined to a single body again. There was little else to do than to start rebuilding.

Character Age: 24
Gender: Male
Character's Physical Description: A slender build that wouldn't really reveal the immense strength hiding within. Often people can just get an eerie feeling from his presence alone. He has jet black hair that goes down to his shoulders. Often his facial features are hidden by hair. His eyes are brown, but can shift to red when he is angry or his demonic blood is active, and can turn into the Rinnegan in certain situations as well. He has two fangs hidden in the back corners of his mouth, often missed unless he is smiling (which is rare). His clothing is usually traditional of his surroundings, and he tries not to stand out too much from the crowd.
Character's Mental Description: Nataku is depressed. So depressed that he let his split personality, Senkaku, run his life for years. Now he returns to find himself among ruins. He is struggling with identity issues and memory loss, and feels as though he has far more power than he can ever control. In conversations with others, he is often distant and his responses usually taken a dark turn. His outlook on life is not a positive one, yet despite all his failure he can still seem to come off as egotistical. Perhaps this is due to his immense strength and the way he hides it, allowing people to perceive him as a much weaker shinobi. In a counter-measure to the condescending words of others, he is stubborn and full of himself. Senkaku is the opposite, loving to go out and have a good time. He also loves fighting and blood, embracing everything the world has to offer with a very selfish viewpoint. If it benefits him, you can bet Senkaku will do it.
Multiple Personality Application: Yes Split Personality disorder please, explained in history. He has an alter-ego called Senkaku that is a more outgoing and sinister version of himself.

Then he went to ‘Bear’ and tried to use his Medical Jutsu to save her. It was a too late, and he knew it as he smelled the sour –sweet stink of carmot laced poison, it wasn’t just destroying her blood cells it was eating her chakra so she couldn’t resist it. Her last words to him were, “You’re pretty scary…” as a weak smile appeared on her face. Then she died, there in the sand cradled in his demonic arms. This is the last memory Nataku remembers. The last time he felt emotion. The last time he felt anything.
• Present Day: Nataku awakens in Sunagakure, considering himself a failure in all respects. He could not protect the ones he loved. In depression, Nataku allowed Senkaku to take over his mind and goes absent-minded for years. Then the Cabal attacked. One day he woke up buried in rubble just beneath the remains of the Kazekage’s tower. Nataku returns to his natural senses at the age of 24, and only the memories of his training remain. What happened to the last few years? Nataku feels that he is the worst kind of failure. The details of his life as Senkaku are still hidden from Nataku but for how long? He was confined to a single body again. There was little else to do than to start rebuilding.

History -- The last few years even if unremembered should probably be filled in basically. Accepted pending MP Application otherwise.
Multiple Personality Application -- Denied on my end; I do not accept "dark passenger" multiple personalities because they have been habitually used as an excuse to kill players when it suits a user OC'ly. While I am not accusing you of this, it is a consistent policy of mine. However, I am only one person and most other aspects of your application have been accepted and if other council-people (2) accept your MP application, you will have an accepted character.

[Kurosawa Nataku]

I understand your concern for my split personality, but to be fair I have been on this site for god knows how long, and spent several years. I've only ever been in a modded battle twice. Once was when I was first learning the battle system, and it caused my character to die on accident. The next was in a missing attempt where all I did was escape and avoid killing anybody. I don't really plan on killing any characters on this site unless they force my hand in the matter, and personally I'd rather kill an NPC than a real player with real history and potential. I'd be willing to accept a clause that prevented me from using Senkaku as a reason to arbitrarily kill somebody, because I'll never do that anyways. He's also not supposed to be evil or out of control enraged, he's just a lot more realistic with his position in the shinobi world. More likely to abuse his power and more willing to indulge in material pleasures. A perfect example of the dichotomy between them is that Nataku can be continually harassed and he will not engage in a fight. He will avoid it at all costs. Senkaku could be provoked, and he'll usually laugh you off. Continuing to prod him will only lead to him warning you once or twice before he does engage. He's not nearly as reluctant as Nataku to put people in their place. Either way, I respect your decision to be against his existence.

The last few years aren't remembered by Nataku as an RP element that allows me to fill them in to add a small degree of freedom in RPing a new character. Albeit the general explanation for those years is that Senkaku was just bumming around and wasting life away while Nataku hid deep within his own mind.

As for the Rikudo Sennin abilities, I am RPing as though Nataku was always going to get the Rinnegan. The way I have it scripted, however, is that he first developed it as Senkaku and Senkaku sealed away this piece of him. For a few years he lived life not knowing of his abilities. It wasn't until he had a conversation with Kuro that he remembered this fact again. Despite Senkaku's seal, memories were persistent. The real moment where Senkaku regained control over this ability (RS) was when he removed the seal Senkaku had placed upon him. The Rikudo Sennin and Rinnegan can be explained as the reason for Nataku's incredible strength and quick learning as a child, or perhaps it was his skill that led to him possessing the Rinnegan. In his earlier years, when he had first developed it, he had practiced turning it on and off. He never really knew what the extent of the abilities of a Rikudo Sennin were until he met his sensei. Ironically, that was also when Senkaku decided to separate this piece of his life. The various figures in his life (his father, Kaibudo, Kuro, Sensei, and Bear) all play crucial roles in creating the character that is today Nataku.

I am fine with the "clause that prevented me from using Senkaku as a reason to arbitrarily kill somebody" on my end. Still need a second council member to approve still.

Everything else is cleared with me too.

...simply waiting on councilor #2

BL/CA: Demonic Ancestry -- Accepted as part of history ('demonic blood')
Kinjutsu: RS : Accepted
Rank: S Rank Medic -- Accepted
Physical Description -- Accepted
Mental Description -- Accepted
History -- After a bit of thought, Accepted. You did lay out pretty much the story of his life and filling in some blanks via live rp sounds like a good idea.
Multiple Personality Application -- This made me think a bit more. I can understand someone worrying about a Dark passenger kind of split personality, but as far as I understood, Senkaku is interested in enjoying himself and is intelligent. One would assume that while he enjoys battle's, being hunted down by a Shinobi village for murdering random people with no cause would probably impair his fun. He didn’t strike me as the type to attack unprovoked...and I guess whatever I say I just haven’t o trust your hear to have fun and not just ruins someone’s fun. All in all, approved here as well. But we'll be watching o-o
