Accepted by me.Kurosawa Clan
Kurosawa ("Black Marsh") is a small and relatively new clan (as far as history goes anyway) based in the Land of Rain. Seeking a perfect balance between Medical Ninjutsu and martial prowess, the Kurosawa are subject to harsh trials and tribulations starting from childhood — to inure them to the militant lifestyle of a Shinobi and medic-nin. Among the tribulations is the administration of a variety of poisonous substances and pathogens to condition their bodies and allow them to continue healing in the face of disease or sickness.
But despite their rough childhoods, they exhibit little of the austerity one might come to expect; the opposite, in fact, as they are taught to value compassion, empathy, and humility. Their lax attitude toward scavenging has turned some heads in the past.
They are skilled at field medicine, with senbons, and using their chakra scalpel offensively, which has earned them the nickname 'Combat Surgeons'. They have a summoning contract with a race of pandas, whose hairs are the source of the clan's senbon supply.
Anatomy Eye, the clan's Dojutsu — grey iris, dilated pupil, black sclera — allows them to see past the flesh of another, essentially laying bare their anatomy and revealing the exact position of any abnormalities or disease. There are three modes of sight:
1. Tissue
2. Organ
3. Skeleton
The technique is chakra taxing and strains the eye. Many Kurosawa members have gone blind or suffered severe losses of eyesight during long healing sessions. This usually starts at a young age.
Name: Toru Kurosawa
Gender: Male
Age and date of birth: 16
Sexuality: Straight
Length and build: Average — Slim
Weight: 58
Favorite weather and season: Rain makes him feel at ease.
Village/Nation: Amegakure
Birthplace: Land of Rain
Organization: Kurosawa Clan
Clan/Bloodline: Kurosawa
Rank: Chuunin
Chakra Nature: Fire
Appearance: Toru has dark brown hair — short at the sides and tied into a knot at the back — brown eyes, an angular face with high cheekbones and somewhat slitted eyes, and a fading white scar below his left ear. He sports the standard OGRE SUIT Akino flak jacket during missions. He has a small frame and slim physique.
Personality: Toru is generally seen as nice but somewhat gloomy and miserable. He finds it difficult to smile — mostly because he dislikes how it looks on his face — and therefore rarely goes out of his comfort zone in social situations.
Despite this disposition trait, however, he is compassionate and ambitious, with a dream to travel the world and end the suffering and dissatisfaction for as many innocent people as he can manage. He dislikes hurting others — even enemies — but will commit to whatever action the situation calls for; obedient and conscientious, therefore.
History:
Toru grew up on the outskirts of Amegakure, where he received daily instruction in Medical Ninjutsu, pathology, field medicine, and surgery — and eventually how to apply it to combat as well. While hardly a prodigy, he did well for himself. In the Academy, however, he had to retake several tests as his Ninjutsu and Genjutsu were not up to par — despite the fact he'd honed his chakra control to impressive levels his age.
He graduated shortly after Shoji's invasion, which he'd spent idly observing the changing dynamics of his clan as they fought for freedom, and enlisted under the tutelage of a Specialized Jounin. His career has been relatively peaceful up to now, and he's only been witness to the death of three allies, none of which were his fault. With the ongoing events, however, things seem to be taking a rather new angle.
He was recently promoted and assigned to a new team — as there were already two Chuunin in his former one. With his medical skills, he seeks to illuminate the darkness of as many people as he can manage — be it a dim or bright flame.

It is never stopping. Why stop a party that is rocking on forever?Wow, is this still going? How far into the plots are we?
Well, I'm super interested, but I'm kind of hesitant because I don't know where my character fits in. Can someone give me a small resume of what has been happening lately? Also, who should I PM to discuss character ideas and general knowledge. I know the general stuff about Naruto since I've watched the original, but I don't know a lot of details that were explained on Shippuden =/
Well, I wasn't, lol. I was sort of more asking about how far the plot currently is, and if there's any room at all for a character to pop up suddenly. I guess it was pretty easy to misunderstand as I was present before, so my bad for terming it that way. And, wow, that's amazing. It's impressive to see such a large group RP survive for so long, specially since most die within a month's range.It is never stopping. Why stop a party that is rocking on forever?
As for how far in the plots we are? That is a tricky question as I don't remember a Yzmael being part of the group before. We did have somebody who live in Brazil that was part of the RP and left several times before, but his name was different.
Thus to answer your reply is that you can PM anybody of the GM team to bounce off your character ideas and general knowledge. Knowledge about Naruto in general isn't really required to be able to fledge in this AU, though. We've strayed quite far from the canon that only the fundamentals are somewhat present - I would place emphasis on somewhat as we use some core elements, but are seriously drifting towards a vision and image that the community has raised and moulded over the years.
I would honestly say to read the stuff pertaining to whichever country you are interested in having a character in, and then just read a few of the latest IC pages (Yes, PAGES) and you should get a pretty solid idea of the current situation but not really the past. The past story you'll just need to either fill in by slowly reading the entire IC or through asking about bits and pieces of story like I did when I first joined.Does that mean all I need to know is really just there at the first page? Or are there hidden things that you guys haven't put there?
Oh, my... God... Well, this'll take some time, lol.and then just read a few of the latest IC pages (Yes, PAGES)
Alice explained everything pretty well.
Alright, so this is a rather "special snowflake" take on a Naruto character that I thought up. He's a combination of a few character ideas I've had in the past which I thought would be interesting to play in this Naruto universe but it's all about what you think, in the end.
Let's hope for the best.

Short Information:
Appearance of the character:
Toko stands at a meager five and a half feet, weighing ninety pounds, something considered quite a disadvantage in brawn and strength. He doesn't appear to possess many visible muscles either, his limbs rather thin and slender. With a scrawny frame, Toko would clearly be labeled as harmless and unable to fight, a set of ribs easily visible beneath his skin. One can draw the obvious conclusion that the boy isn't fit for melee endeavors, however leaning against this weakness has brought Toko to another advantage.
The thick black hair atop his head falls down to the base of his neck along with bangs covering his eyes unless kept out of the way with either a bandana, headband or toboggan. A pair of curious brown eyes are constantly kept on the lookout, as if waiting for an impending ambush. In truth, Toko simply prefers to keep his surroundings in check. Needless to say, he hates surprises as long as he's not the one giving them. An expression of indifference or boredom are common sights upon this boy, appearing unamused but not necessarily dissatisfied.
A pair of black cargo pants reach down to his ankles where they are slightly folded up and a black hoodie often find home atop his torso. Due to his small size, Toko often wears oversized shirts but he has gotten used to the nuisance. His hands always find home in a pair of fingerless leather gloves which allows for a better grip and would be considered stylish by his standards.
Possessing a scrawny frame, one shouldn't expect too much from Toko in terms of strength. Indeed, while adept in both combat and acrobatic maneuvers, Toko has to rely on finesse and grace in fights, rather than brawn. While incredibly adept in ranged weaponry, Toko is not an individual one should place on the front lines.
Lacking in imagination, Toko feels most at home in black clothing as well as black Ninja sandals. He never did consider himself fashionable in any way. Toko is often considered cute by his surroundings and anything but intimidating. It is uncommon to see Toko without some kind of music attached to his person. A pair of headphones appear on his head more often than not and it's safe to say that his thoughts wander freely, leaving him less than aware of his surroundings at times.
Personality of the character:
Toko is a boy with many thoughts, his mind traveling in circles more often than not. One could blame it on his engineering life but he tends to overthink things often and can at times be forgetful, trying to keep track of too many things at once. Despite his appearance showing an expression of boredom or indifference, once you get to know Toko you'll see a sarcastic, lighthearted and fun loving individual who doesn't appear to take life too seriously. He is indeed categorized as one of the quieter types of people, sometimes forgetting to speak because he has indeed thought about the sentence too much and as such believes he actually spoke it.
He can be a bit all over the place, both physically and mentally. Toko wouldn't exactly be considered polite or respectful, but rather appears to act the same towards everyone. Having been locked up in his workshop throughout his life, by choice of course, has left the boy rather socially crippled which quite seriously effects his social situations. Toko is blunt to a fault and doesn't sugarcoat anything. He likes to joke around and remains honest most of the time because he doesn't see a reason to hide the truth unless it's absolutely necessary.
Despite acting like a brat at times, those who know Toko know that he stops at nothing for those he considers his comrades. No man left behind is a motto he runs with. He's supposed to be there for others at all times and that is a rule he has learned throughout the lessons he has participated in. If for nothing else, to raise the effectiveness of the team through positive relationships.
Toko has displayed a notable lack of patience but often finds something to do while waiting for others and though he is laid back to a fault, Toko has been noted to be a neat freak and a perfectionist. Everything always needs to be in its place and Toko is incredibly strict when it comes to being on time.

Kekkei Genkai:
Short Explanation:
The ability to replicate any inanimate object within a frame of limitations. The ability also allows for a passive adjustment to the user's frame which is described below. Each replica created by Toko is in all intents and purposes the real thing, meaning it's an exact copy. After an item comes in contact with his skin, a replica will build itself into existence as if building blocks appearing on top of each other until the item is fully created. The process begins from where the item was touched and is nearly instantaneous. It is also worth noting that the replica will appear in the same hand Toko used to touch the item in question.
Active Ability (Limitations):
Contact
Toko's skin needs to come in physical contact with the item he intends to replicate, preferably with his fingers.
Weight
The item cannot weigh more than three pounds.
Quantity
Toko can replicate up to three items. A fourth would replace the first. As long as the item in question doesn't weigh over three pounds, Toko can replicate everything contained within a single unit.
Supernatural Items
While supernatural effects can be replicated along with the item, these effects cannot be magical in any way. Toko cannot replicate magic (If such was to appear through some other Kekkei Genkai).
Substance
The only way for Toko to replicate something which isn't solid is if it's contained within something solid.
Biological Material
Toko cannot replicate anything which isn't inanimate. Biological material is beyond his ability.
Time
Each replica is permanent until Toko allows it to disappear or until another replaces it. Due to this, it is impossible to trace Toko's duplicates.
Passive Ability:
Agelessness
Upon reaching adulthood, Toko's cells stop splitting, but rather they replicate. A cell deteriorates every time it splits which in turn causes ageing. At a noted age of twenty years old, a Mai's Kekkei Genkai has matured and as such, their cells stop splitting and start replicating which in turn halts the ageing process.
Due to this, the Mai bloodline very rarely conceive new children. Hailing from another land entirely (China), Toko and his parents are the only individuals of his clan present upon these specific Eastern shores. This particular part of the Mai bloodline is unknown amongst the other inhabitants of Konoha, due to the invetible experimentation which would ensue upon its knowledge, off the books of course.
Special Notes:
Toko, like everyone of the Mai bloodline is incapable of managing jutsu. As such, Toko is solely capable of leaning against his Kekkei Genkai in combat. Though Chakra is used internally to create the replicates this Bloodline Limit allows, Chakra is incapable of leaving his body in any external form.
Arsenal:
Weapons:
Toko uses a crossbow which has been designed by none other than himself. The crossbow uses a mechanical system which allows for it to be semi-automatic. Each bolt fired by the crossbow causes the hook within its internal design to crank back and pull the string back as a result, ready for the next shot.
Ammo:
Normal Bolts:
The common bolts one woukd expect. Small, light and with a steel tip.
Equipment:
Shoulder Bag:
This is where Toko keeps his saved bolt clips and his scope, as well as his notebook.
WIP Intentions:
Heavy Assault Crossbow:
A portable crossbow used against highly armored targets.
Incendiary Ammo:
Bolts with a tip which is set aflame upon leaving the crossbow.
Explosive Bolts:
Bolts which ignite and explode upon impact.
One Handed Semi-Auto Crossbow:
A smaller version of Toko's crossbow which would be used as a sidearm.

This is quite wrong. Why? I will explain : The Republic isn't Kirigakure nor is Kirigakure the Republic itself. Thanks to the last (and only successful) revolution under leadership of Mika Hayashi there had been some incident which saw the life of the Water Daimyo coming to an end. With the Revolution ending up victorious there would come an end to the feudal system that was in place. Instead the Republic of the Water Country (See, no Kirigakure) is what people would call it or else in short : The Republic. There isn't a strict democracy as it is more of an oligarchy, but that is a topic that we can debate later on.This was to keep up her image as the future hope of the clan. After graduating from the academy, she moved into the Republic of Kirigakure
I am somewhat okay if the slime can be driven back with fire (or water, a strong stream?) or that it is a substance won't be easy to get rid off, but if it is used then the chakra that has been converted/moulded in the process then I am against it returning back when it is evaporated.However when the honey is evaporated, it's energy returns back to the Flani Gland.
Yeah, you're welcome. Shame that you're leaving so suddenly.Thank you for your response. I believe I will however step out of this RP.
Thanks for you time.

Nothing really troublesome, but there is a sloppy mistake that I keep noticing. You wrote :

The same counts for the Flan Form
I dont know what you are trying to say other then you dont like me getting my chakra back when the slime is burned. I will take that part out but if you where trying to say something else, please let me know."but if it is used then the chakra that has been converted/moulded in the process then I am against it returning back when it is evaporated."
