Name: Akai (Red)
Rank: A
Appearance: Akai has red hair and like most of the other puppets Hiroki makes, it looks very much like it’s alive or was once a human. This puppet stands at 2 meters in the air, and has a rather bulky body build. It’s arms reach down to it’s knees, the fingers are made of blades. It’s mouth reaches almost up to it’s ears, and inside of it are very realistic teeth that are as sharp as razors. It’s red eyes hold no emotions, and yet in battles it’s as if the puppet stares into the very soul of the opponent.
- Spoiler:
Weapon Slots:Slot 1: Poison that's sprayed from the puppet's mouth, and is also in the puppet's body.
Slot 2: A blade that reaches 1 meter in length that's hidden inside the puppet's right arm. It springs out when in combat. The blade is covered in the same poison that comes from the puppet's mouth.
Slot 3: A blade that reaches 1 meter in length that's hidden inside the puppet's left arm. It springs out when in combat. The blade is covered in the same poison that comes from the puppet's mouth.
Slot 4: Inside the body of Akai are hundreds of needles that have the same poison on their tips, and if someone punches through the puppet those needles will stab that person and spread the poison in his/hers body, and the puppet can also shoot the needles from it’s mouth at the master's will. The range of the needles can be up to 15 meters.
Slot 5:History:
This was one of the first puppets Hiroki made when he came into the Konoha village, but with the years he started improving it as his skills grew. At first Hiroki had planned to make the puppet without any real human traits, like hair and eyes that would look real. But as he worked more and more with Akai, he came to realize that it wouldn't be fitting to have that puppet look like some dull plank of wood. After some thought, he had finally decided on the looks and somehow thought that red hair would suit his puppet best. And from that came the name Akai (Red). When the puppet was done, then Hiroki was intrigued to start making more puppets that looked very real and human, without being what was called "human puppets", or when puppets are made out of real humans. Thanks to his good skills and his many years of studying others around him, the work of making the puppets look almost freakishly real was something that was no problem for him.
Special Jutsu :- Spoiler:
Name of Jutsu: Cloud of Death
Rank: B - A
Users: Hiroki Katsuro / Akai
Type of Jutsu:: Attack, Kugutsu no Jutsu
Element Affinity: --
Training Link: --
Description: The puppet gets summoned forth and it appears right in front of it’s master, hovering over whomever that would be standing close by. It’s slanted, grim looking mouth opens slowly as it starts spewing it's poison into the air. With a little effort from Hiroki, while using the chakra strings, the puppet starts moving fast in circles around the opponent or opponents, making the poison cloud grow bigger and bigger (to it's radius of 10 meters and height of 15 meters) until the puppet can barely be seen anymore because of both the speed and the poisonous cloud. The poisonous cloud reaches the radius of 10 meters in each direction, while it rises about 15 meters into the air, this process has taken around 8 seconds at most.
Hiroki has now moved in a appropriate distance, since even if he has the antidote and has by now become almost immune to his own poison then it can still blind him from attacks. As the puppet has gone now in about 15 circles around the opponents (that takes around 8 seconds), it stops abruptly and opens it’s mouth even further as it spits out 40 poisonous needles into the cloud of poison.
This technique is something Hiroki normally uses when he’s against many at once, and has them either trapped somewhere or busy fighting with someone else. If one of his allies gets caught up in the poison, he simply gives them antidote afterwards when the fight is done. And if they get caught in the flying cloud of needles… well either they would have to get lucky or he would have to give some fine excuses. (no wonder Hiroki’s not loved that much by some).
Name: Akuma Futago (Devil Twins)
Rank: B
Appearance: The twins are both at the same height as their master, or around 180 cm. They have blondish hair while their eyes hold a grey color to them. Their clothes, decorating on face and hairstyles are probably the only things that would set the twins apart, but in battles the opponents rarely have time to spot that out right away. The difference would be that one twin has his hair taken back with a small hair accessory and wears a shirt that has some white decorating on it, while he has a tattoo looking tribal on his left cheek. But the other twin has his tribal tattoo looking decorate on his right cheek, while the he has his almost shoulder length hair loose and wears a black shirt that's kept half closed with some straps.
- Spoiler:
Weapon Slots:Slot 1: A blade inside of a twin puppet chest, the blade is around 90 cm in length and is covered in poison.
Slot 2: A blade inside of a twin puppet chest, the blade is around 90 cm in length and is covered in poison.
Slot 3: Twin's fists are made out of the hardest metal, making it impossible to break unless the opponent makes a counter attack of a higher rank (then higher than B rank), or has a defense of a higher rank than the twins are (then higher than B rank). With these fists they break armors down, or break weapons that are of their same rank or lower B rank or lower).
Slot 4: Twin's fists are made out of the hardest metal, making it impossible to break unless the opponent makes a counter attack of a higher rank (then higher than B rank), or has a defense of a higher rank than the twins are (then higher than B rank). With these fists they break armors down, or break weapons that are of their same rank or lower (B rank or lower).
Slot 5:History:
After having worked on puppets in the Konoha village for 3 years, Hiroki had the idea of making 2 puppets that could work as one. His idea of making them also look like twins was just a part of his usual humor. The puppets proved to be very handy when there was need to capture tricky opponents, even if their rank wasn't the highest. While practicing with them, Hiroki decided it would be fun to have small things like their clothing and hair set them apart just so that the opponents might have a small chance of figuring out that there were actually 2 puppets they were against. Even with their puppet-like faces, the "twins" are very good looking, and as usually make people wonder if the Konoha Jounin is really this good in making the puppets or if he's actually using real humans to make the puppets.
Special Jutsu: - Spoiler:
Name of Jutsu: Deadly Embrace
Rank: B
Users: Hiroki Katsuro / Akuma Futago
Type of Jutsu:: Attack, Kugutsu no Jutsu
Element Affinity: --
Training Link: --
Description: After driving the opponent to a corner with attacks from either his Jutsus or other puppets or sealing methods, Hiroki summons forth the twins so that they appear almost instantly at each side of the trapped or stuck opponent. By pulling the needed strings, the twins move at the same time towards the opponent with open embraces. This deadly technique ends when the twin puppets hug their opponent very tightly and the blades from their chests come out and impale whomever is so unlucky to receive the hug. Hiroki uses this technique when he needs to quickly take someone out, or when the opponent is of his rank or lower. Of course then higher ranked opponents could dodge or simply break the puppets.
Name: Ansatsusha (Assassin)
Rank: B
Appearance: This puppet reaches about 190 cm in the air, and has a rather thin figure. It's hair is white while it's eyes are yellow, and hold an unusually humanized look to them. On it's forehead is a small seal, but Hiroki hasn't revealed yet what that is for, nor has he been able to practice enough with the puppet to actually make a technique that involves the seal.
- Spoiler:
Weapon Slots:Slot 1: Smoke that streams from the puppet's mouth. The smoke covers an area of the radius of 20 meters in each direction, and also up in the air. It takes approximately 5 seconds for the smoke to spread out. The smoke doesn't have poison in it, but it's heavy and hard to breathe when in it, as it also blinds the opponents. When Hiroki was preparing this smoke he used some of the natural fire smoke, to make it harder for the opponents to breathe and to also make their eyes sting, even if they don't get blinded.
Slot 2: A normal kunai hidden inside it's right hand, that comes out when needed.
Slot 3: A normal kunai hidden inside it's left hand, that comes out when needed.
Slot 4: An inactive seal on the puppet's forehead.
Slot 5:History:
This was the second puppet Hiroki made, as he decided he needed to make something that would not only work as full frontal attack puppet. After thinking long and hard about it, he came to the conclusion that to make the puppet lighter it would only have the kunais in it's hands and no other weapons to make it heavier. At first he had thought about not making it have a human appearance, but then decided against it as he liked doing his best with each of his work.
Special Jutsu:- Spoiler:
Name of Jutsu: Sneaky Attack
Rank: B
Users: Hiroki Katsuro / Ansatsusha
Type of Jutsu:: Attack, Kugutsu no Jutsu
Element Affinity: --
Training Link: --
Description: After being summoned forth, the puppet crouches down to the ground in a sluggish way before it starts spraying smoke out from it's mouth. The smoke can cover an area of the radius of 20 meters in each direction, and also up in the air while it takes it 5 seconds to spread out. The smoke doesn't have poison in it, but it's heavy and hard to breathe when in it, as it also blinds the opponents. When Hiroki was preparing this smoke he used some of the natural fire smoke, to make it harder for the opponents to breathe and to also make their eyes sting.
Now after being done blowing the smoke out, the puppet will move without a sound from it's place and preferably appear behind the opponent and slash out with it's kunais to the most vulnerable spots. Hiroki has mastered in his years with practicing to be able to calculate out the distance between him and the opponents so that he can control his puppet inside the smoke while merely using his memory of where the opponent was positioned as well as his skills. If the opponent would jump out of the cloud, Hiroki would have some of his other puppets greet him/her.
Name: Tate (Shield)
Rank: A
Appearance: Unlike the others, this puppet doesn't have a real face. Only the eyes and the hair would be what could be called human, along with it's body. The puppet reaches roughly 2 meters in the air, while it has a rather bulky and muscular-like body build. Below it's eyes it has a mask covering what would have been it's face, and under that mask is just plain wood.
- Spoiler:
Weapon Slots:Slot 1: It's skin has the ability to withstand any attack, as long as it isn't of a higher rank than the puppet itself. (Then higher than A rank).
Slot 2: 20 needles are inside of the puppet's body, they are spit out from it's mouth.
Slot 3:Slot 4:Slot 5:History:
While being glad he was doing well in making offensive puppets, Hiroki had known that he wouldn't get far without making a puppet that would be able to shield him from sudden attacks or very lethal once. A ninja can't always rely on his own skills on the battlefield to be able to defend all the time, so a puppet that would be able to shield against most things would be something very needed. After making many experiments with hardening the shell of the puppet, Hiroki finally managed to make something that could withstand most of the things he tried. Being quite satisfied, he knew that this puppet would most probably some day be able to save his ass on the battlefield.
Special Jutsu:- Spoiler:
Name of Jutsu: Complete Defense
Rank: A
Users: Hiroki Katsuro / Tate
Type of Jutsu:: Defensive - Kugutsu no Jutsu
Element Affinity: --
Training Link: --
Description: As Hiroki summons Tate forth, the puppet immediately goes in front of it's master as then it's whole body starts shifting around until only it's head remains in the same shape as it did before. Now the whole body of the puppet has been flattened out so that it has almost the shape of a square, and the head is stationed in this square. This "square" that was it's body reaches 2 meters in the air and about 1 meter to the sides. As said before, then only higher ranking techniques, elements, weapons and / or opponents can pierce or melt through that defensive shield that the puppet makes, so it can block anything ranked A and below. As if to add a little threatening to the puppet, it's head can spit out around 20 needles with the range of 10 meters. Mostly just to let the opponent wonder if it was capable of actually doing more than just be a shield.
This defense is a 2x1 square with the head in the center and is about 10 centimeters thick.
Name: Kōsoku sa re ta bi (Shackled beauty)
Rank: A
Appearance: This only female puppet is rather fragile in looks and reaches only about 160 cm in the air. Her hair has a light pink color to it, as her eyes are as red as freshly spilled blood. They mostly remind people of pure rubies when they look at her, and most are quite stunned at first over how beautiful this puppet is. She has chains around her neck and wrists. The chains have perhaps a more symbolic meaning to them than actual usage, even if they are used to help pull the puppet apart when using it's blade attack
- Spoiler:
Weapon Slots:Slot 1: Hundreds of needles inside of her body that are covered in poison.
Slot 2: Small blades in her body parts. (they range from 10 - 30 cm long).
Slot 3: A mechanic system inside the puppets neck that makes her capable of sucking in air and then pushing it out again, making a piercing sound.
Slot 4:Slot 5:History:
This was Hiroki's latest puppet, he made her roughly a year ago. After making all the others, he realized he'd want to have something beautiful to look at also and have as his tool. After working for months without sleeping or eating much, he had finally managed to make his first puppet that was able to use right away 2 special Jutsus. There went a whole lot of time also in making her face as beautiful as he could, since Hiroki is always very proud when he manages to make good looking puppets. At first he was going to let her only use the blades as attacking method, but as the Konoha ninja thought more about it he figured it would be neat to be able to use an attack that would take effect without the puppet actually needing to approach the enemy. So he managed to make a some sort of mechanic system inside of the puppet's throat that sucked in air and then pushed it out again, making that high pitching sound that could drive anyone insane.
Special Jutsu:- Spoiler:
Name of Jutsu: Piercing Scream
Rank: B
Users: Hiroki Katsuro / Kōsoku sa re ta bi
Type of Jutsu:: Offensive - Kugutsu no Jutsu
Element Affinity: --
Training Link: --
Description: When Kōsoku sa re ta bi gets summoned forth, her first move is to open her mouth and then as Hiroki lets his chakra stream to her from his strings, a piercing sound almost like a high pitched scream, emits from the puppet's mouth. This sound is high enough to make anyone double over in pain or get very distracted, unless of course the opponent was deaf. The effects last for one post, or the post when it was activated, and as the hearing comes back for whomever had to listen after that even if a slightly annoying buzz remains in the ears for the next 5 or so posts. This technique takes 3 posts to charge up again.
Hiroki normally jumps slightly back and has put earplugs in his ears which he keeps in his pockets. The earplugs manage to defend against most of the attack, but Hiroki will get a slight headache himself and buzzing in his ears.
Name of Jutsu: Dance of Blades
Rank: A
Users: Hiroki Katsuro /
Type of Jutsu:: Offensive - Kugutsu no Jutsu
Element Affinity: --
Training Link: --
Description: At the appropriate chakra usage, the whole body of the puppet crumbles down and leaves only her head laying on the ground. As Hiroki uses his hands and fingers, all the parts from her body ( which are hundreds) rise up into the air and hover there until Hiroki starts moving again. The pieces fly towards their opponents at a very fast speed, just like if needles had been spit out so they will reach the target in 1 - 2 seconds, seeking to strike through them or hit vital points. Even if they only scratch that can prove lethal as they are covered in the same poison as most the other puppets use. It depends on the pieces from the puppet's body if they have blades or needles at their end, in most cases they are small with needles. If the pieces strike the ground or other objects, Hiroki can easily retrieve them and do another attack at his opponents. The Jutsu can only be used twice in a row, as it takes lots of concentration and chakra to maintain all the pieces in the air and control the Jutsu.
Name: The Puppeteer's Poison
Rank: A
Appearance The poison has a dark purple color to it. It's both in liquid form, then on the weapons, and gas.
Description: When the opponent gets in touch with the gas form of the poison, his eyes start watering and his sense of smell gets confused from the poison's strong smell before his eyesight is lost as is his smelling. If the poison gets inhaled then it's effects within the body start working (the effects are described here below). The gas wont kill if it just manages to reach the eyes, as it has to manage to enter the body to truly work. The blinding effect of the poison remains throughout 2 posts as does the messed up smelling, before they both get decreased so that the person can see again but only with a little blurred vision as the smell is also only at it's 50% capabilities as is the eyesight.
The effects wear 100% off after 6 posts. There's no use in trying to wash out the poison, but a medical ninja that's of the same rank or higher as the poison can heal the person's eyes and smelling sensors, that is if they use a technique of the same rank or higher than the poison's rank (A + rank). But not the effects of the poison when it gets inhaled or it manages to enter the body through a wound. Only a specially made antidote, which Hiroki holds in his bag and just a few of the high ranked medical ninjas of Konoha have, can cure the poison.
When the opponent gets stabbed or scratched by a weapon that has the liquid form of the poison on it, the person gets drastically weakened, and will die if they don't receive an antidote after 12 hours, (that would count as 20 posts in the rp). The poison weakens the person in that way that it takes the same amount of chakra like a C rank Jutsu in each post, the counting beginning with the first post written after the poison was touched in it's liquid form or inhaled from the cloud. It is also very painful (the person rp's that after their own head, depends on the rank of the character how much they will feel the pain or effects.. then someone of higher rank than the poison would only have a minor headache along with the some bone aches as when one has a fever, a person of the same rank would get a slightly more headache and pain in joints along with fever-like bone aches, but if the rank is lower than the poison's then the pain describes itself as a bad migraine along with agonizing pain in joints and bones).
This poison that Hiroki has stored in his puppets was specially made by himself with the help of high ranked medical nins, so he only holds the antidote along with a few other higher ups. The poisonous cloud reaches the radius of 10 meters in each direction, while it rises about 15 meters into the air.
Infection Round:Round One: The poison cloud interferes with smelling sensors and eyesight, making the smelling sensors feel a little weird while the eyesight gets blurry, blinding and loss of smell wont happen until after the post in which the cloud came.
The liquid form starts seeping into cuts, but the pain wont come until after the post in which the attack happened and the opponent got infected.
Round Two: The opponent gets blinded for 2 posts and/or looses his/hers smelling for 2 posts.
The pain from the poison that got inhaled or in wounds begins to come out. It starts in the person's head and then leads to his/hers joints and bones in the whole body. Chakra starts getting lost from the person, the posting count starting after the post in which the person got infected before the person dies if they don't get the antidote.
