Kimiko

A roleplay to properly vent my growing frustrations with not being able to express my love for naruto through conventional means.

The Roleplay is starting you all at the beginning of the anime as genin in a class of 12. It'll start with each of you taking your genin test and then being assigned to a squad with two of your fellow classmates and a sensei. You'll start relatively un-developed as far as fighting and technique wise and can get more into that as the rp progresses. hopefully.

The canon original 12 classmates of this generation do not exist although their clans still do.

Name: Kimiko Tanaka

Family: Kimiko's small clan(if you can call it that) is lower class when compared to most of Konahagukure. Put simply, some had history while some didn't. Her mother and father worked at a local ramen store while her grandfather was a member of the ANBU black-ops (probably the most impressive.). The few members that practiced were particularly refined in a mix of Genjutsu and Taijutsu to outpace and outdo their opponents. However, she was born and raised with her 'aunt'(Family friend, Inoue Shizuka).

Inoue is a Jonin, but the Shizuka clan isn't any more refined than the Tanaka clan. In fact, one could probably safely say Inoue's one of the only Shizuka's that's a Jonin to this day. A good bit of the Shizukas are medical-nin who tend the wounded. Inoue's methods strayed a bit and utilized pressure points, swift Taijutsu, and a nice blend of Genjutsu learned from the Tanaka clan in order to disable her opponents. She's also capable of manipulating her chakra in certain points of her body in order to use it to her advantage; I.E Move faster, attach threads to things to will them her way, etc.

At the moment the only living relatives of Kimiko is her grandmother, who works as an armourer/weaponsmith.

Appearance: Kimiko Tanaka stands at 5'2 in height, with her light blue hair that's often kept tied in a fan-out ponytail; when unbound, it falls free to frame her face, reaching just above her lower jawline. Her facial features are rather sharp, with deep-set green eyes and a small upturned nose. She has relatively pale skin for a normal human being.

As for clothing she wears a sleeveless high-collar top with the webbed interlinking undershirt beneath it. She wears a few ninja bandages of coolness near her thighs with the typical tight fitting shorts, along with a pair of shinguards and ninja tabi.

Gear: Kimiko utilizes a large bladed weapon; resembling a huge bladed hula hoop with three grooves protruding in a triangle formation for the sake of stabbing. They can also be used for swordbreaking/parrying. The handles are found on the inner ring, in which Kimiko wields the hoop so it's upright at her sight(typically with her own side facing the opponent). This fighting style generally relies more on hearing the foe than seeing them.

She has the typical kunai/shuriken.

She applies metal bracers to her wrists/hands.

Personality: Kimiko is quite the eccentric and jovial one. Bubbly and excitable, she tends to be a bit overconfident, ditzy, and air headed when it comes to her outlook. Despite this her upbringing had caused her to take school far serious when compared to other kids, and it wouldn't be a surprise if a few cheated off her in order to get good grades on any written tasks. In addition the fact that her parents were murdered when she was just two + her caretaker was a harsh Jonin caused her to realize the world of Shinobi is a harsh world, and thus she doesn't really bat much of an eye at the prospect of bloodshed or gore.

Backstory: Kimiko was orphaned at a young age -- when the Nine Tailed Fox spirit ravaged Konaha, her parents were one of the many unfortunate victims that fell to the beast's rampage. Her grandfather was also a victim, having been sent on the front lines with the ANBU black ops to handle the chaos. This orphaned her, but thankfully, her mother's childhood friend, Inoue Shizuka, was willing to adopt her and take her under her wing.
	Needless to say, being raised by a Chunin (who eventually became Jonin by the time Kimiko was 8), resulted in her living outside of the norm when compared to most children of Konaha. When she was enrolled in the Ninja academy, her aunt was insistent that Kimiko and trained her hardest and spent just about everyday doing just that. Every time she'd return home her aunt would pretty much spend time beating the poor little shit to a pulp by making her do tasks such as run up trees, PUNCH Trees, throw accurately, etc etc.
	Eventually her aunt decided it was time to give Kimiko something to work with that'd impress the school enough to get her past the Genin exams. It was then that a light bulb struck: Kimiko could inherit her great great grandmother's weapon! During the rule of the 2nd Hokage, there was a shinobi known for an odd weapon and fighting style that distinguished herself from the other Jonin -- and thus, she set forth to find Kimiko's grandmother, and requested that very weapon. It was here that Kimiko received the signature bladed hoop at age 9, which she spent just about 3 years of her life training with every day of her life.
	From then on, Kimiko would arrive home to have her aunt lead her into the forest. Her goal was to chop down a single tree with that hoop in under ten slices. After that, five. After that, three. Eventually she channeled her Chakra to where she could successfully do this, and from then on, was trained to chop down one more tree the next day in three slices or less.



i feel i could do much better soz for being uninspired-ish.


TradeMark Skill: Kimiko is quite renown among her class for her rather...bizarre weapon, yet very impressive Taijutsu skills. Despite the unwieldy looks of the hoop she's capable of swinging it about quite swiftly, and her incredible strength/agility allows for her to support herself and follow up when jumping in and out of the thing. In addition she's quite adept at utilizing her Chakra in ways that help her move fast/manipulate the weapon appropriately -- most notably, channeling it through weapons in order to create a sharper blade(As she's wind type element). One could say her larger Chakra pool is a talent in itself.
