******: Second Dawn

[Gentleman Skeleton]

******: Second Dawn

It’s been almost one hundred years since that day. That Konoha brat wiped Pain out and we, his sheep, were left without a shepherd. Left alone to struggle in the darkness, we had to find our own light. In that period of chaos, I came to rule over what remained of Pain’s organization. The bijuu may have been scattered to the four corners of the globe, but the sealing statue has been successfully rebuilt. I can do this; I can finish what Lord Pain started. In order to do this though, I’ll need more help. I am going to hire shinobi with reputations, those who would fight for me, kill for me, and if push ever came to shove, die for me. I have already found four potential candidates. This diary will chronicle my rise to power, so that if I fail, my story will not be forgotten. Lord Pain, may your restless spirit guide me, for I fear I will not be able to do this without you.
-First entry of the Diary of Akatsuki, recovered one year after the Second Dawn incident

Akatsuki, a criminal organization who specializes in the capture and confinement of demons called the bijuu. Ordinarily, this would be a good thing, since the bijuu were horribly destructive. But Akatsuki had other things in mind for them. Their full plan was three-fold. First, they would resort to criminal acts to gain an enormous sum of money. Second, they would form a loyal group of mercenaries who would be willing to do missions for dirt cheap. The money from step 1 would instead compensate them. By performing missions for far less than the larger villages, they build their own reputation while destroying that of their rivals. Third, the members of the organization are to capture the nine bijuu scattered across the world. Once all nine were captured, they would use them to start wars and immediately quell them, once again building their reputation and further humiliating their larger rivals. Eventually the larger villages would collapse due to economic strain and Akatsuki would come to claim them. The plan was simple, but there was one major flaw in the plan.

Our plans were going fine until that day. It was the day we captured Shukaku, the one tailed demon. That was when he showed up, the boy with the Kyuubi inside him. He and his friends wiped out Sasori after a difficult battle. Even though he was replaced, the Organization just wasn’t the same. Two more tried and the both of them were dispatched as well. We lost our champions left and right. Although we took out one of Konoha’s most powerful shinobi, the Toad Sage, we still found ourselves overrun by that damn boy and the Kyuubi. No matter who we sent against him, he wiped them out with untold fury. Eventually, not even Lord Pain could stand up to him. Despite everything, even with the great security measures put into place, Akatsuki was finished and their plans were quelled, but that’s where I come in. I now have six ring carrying Akatsuki and hundreds, if not thousands of subordinates under them. Now, it’s just a waiting game. I need more generals to keep my army in check. Once the ten rings are in the hands of those I can trust, we’ll begin. This time, however, not even the Kyuubi can stop us.

The resurgence of Akatsuki couldn’t have come at a worse time. The past fifty years have been an era of peace, and the five great nations are beginning to struggle to stay afloat. Konoha alone had to cut back its military force by almost 1/3. In order to keep Konoha stable, the Tenth Hokage has been even more selective of the shinobi upped to Chuunin and Jonin. Then once Akatsuki began to make its presence known again, his decisions begin to haunt him. Left with an inadequate military force, the Tenth Hokage, in addition to the other four Great Shinobi Nations created a task force capable of taking down this new group. However, they too may be not enough if Akatsuki manages to get a foothold and begins to capture Bijuu.

-Plot-
You will act as one of the ten generals of Akatsuki. The Leader remains as of yet unknown to you and your orders come from the top ranking general. Your job is to do very bad things to people in order to get money, capture Bijuu, and further the plans of your leader. However, the RPG begins at the point where there are only nine members of the organization, which means you’ll also be assigned the role of finding a tenth member. Each member of the organization has their own specialty, whether it’s medical ninjutsu or espionage. Akatsuki travels in pairs, and each pair must work well together. Some pairs will hate each other’s guts, but others will actually bond. Along the way, I’ll place each pair on missions that will test their abilities to the limits. The world is after you, and you’ve got a job to do… better get started.

-Rings-
The rings of Akatsuki are the ranking system within the group. The leader of the group tends to wear his/hers on their right thumb (Pain,) while the lowest member has it on their left pinky (Orochimaru.) Each ring is a different color and has a different symbol on it. The symbols are:

Right Thumb: Rei, “Zero” (Formerly worn by Pain)
Right Index: Seiryuu, “Azure Dragon” (Formerly worn by Deidara)
Right Middle: Byakko, “White Tiger” (Formerly worn by Konan)
Right Ring: Suzaku, “Vermillion Bird” (Formerly worn by Itachi Uchiha)
Right Pinky: Genbu, “Black Tortoise” (Formerly worn by Zetsu)

Left Thumb: Gyokunyo, “Virgin” (Formerly worn by Sasori, then Tobi/Madara)
Left Index: Santai, “Three Levels” (Formerly worn by Hidan, currently missing)
Left Middle: Hokuto, “Big Dipper” (Formerly worn by Kakuzu)
Left Ring: Nanju, “Sagittarius” (Formerly worn by Kisame Hoshigaki)
Left Pinky: Kuuchin, “Void” (Formerly worn by Orochimaru)

-Assignment System-
Ladies and gentlemen, let me stress this. There are two things in this RPG you will NOT have control over of. The first is your ring, and the second is your partner. I will assign those both to you when the time comes. The rings I will assign to you the moment you’re accepted. Your partner, however, will wait until all nine positions have been filled (there will be a tenth added later on, but that will be a surprise twist I’ll throw at you in order to sucker punch you when you least expect it.) Also, although I won’t be playing the role of the leader (I’ll be the big boss in a sort of NPC role, but not the Pain role,) I will be handing out assignments to people via PM. I’ll also give you important plot info about who you might encounter on your path. By the way, the password to get into this RPG is “Sekai Taicho.” If you want the coveted role of the bearer of Right Thumb ring, I’ll be quizzing you on ****** knowledge and I’ll request another RPG sample out of you.


-The True Akatsuki Leader-
While the top general could be one of you, the leader is quite an enigma. “He” wears a mask similar to that of former Akatsuki operative Tobi, except “his” mask has two eyeholes instead of one and the swirl begins in the center of the mask. “His” past, abilities, and even “his” true gender are all unknown. It’s assumed the leader is male, but since “he” morphs “his” voice, it’s unknown.

-Terms-
Armaments: Many shinobi are equipped with various weapons. Most carry kunai or shuriken. Kunai take the form of throwing knives and shuriken take the form of throwing stars. Some even carry caltrops, small spikes which can be thrown on the ground and cause great pain to those who step on them without knowing. There are also explosive tags which can be attached to kunai or placed as traps, which explode on command.

Chakra: Chakra is an energy force that shinobi learn to harness in order to use powerful jutsu. Chakra is formed by the mixture of bodily energy and spiritual energy. Chakra can be focused into singular elementals to release different effects or be used to. The elementals are Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, and Lightning. Chakra travels along networks which circle all of the major organs and is invisible to all except for those with certain clan traits called Kekkei Genkai.

Jutsu: The end result of combining chakra with concentration. Jutsu have many purposes and adhere to many styles. Such purposes could be as practical as walking on water or running up trees or as tactical as shooting fireballs or healing a teammate. Jutsu are essential tools for any ninja’s arsenal. There are three types of Jutsu in the world. Ninjutsu is the broadest category of the three. Ninjutsu can create fireballs, heal teammates, and summon creatures. Most require the use of hand seals based on the Chinese Zodiac in order to unleash. Genjutsu is basically casting illusions. These illusions often capture more than just vision and hearing, often leaving the victim in intense pain. Taijutsu is physical, hand to hand combat. Almost always, Taijutsu is used to break bones and bruise organs, though in some cases, it’s much more subtle in its damage. There are also Kinjutsu. These can be from any of the three above categories, but the current leaders of a village deem them forbidden techniques because of either the danger to the user, or the technique is just deemed unnatural.

Kekkei Genkai: A series of jutsu that is written in the genetic code of particular clans. Some clans have techniques only they can learn, but in order to qualify as a Kekkei Genkai, it must be an ability that can only be passed down from generation to generation through genetics. There are three known basic types, these are:

*Doujutsu: The only named category. These Kekkei Genkai involve the eyes and grant the user increased visual range, the ability to read an opponent’s movements and in some cases, allows the user to see chakra inside a human body.
Examples:

Sharingan: A unique doujutsu which allows the user to memorize attacks, grants enhanced perception, and once they are fully evolved, grants the user to cast illusions which grants the user the ability to ‘mimic’ their opponents hence the name Sharingan, or “Copy Wheel Eye.” When a Sharingan user kills their best friend, it completely transforms into the Mangekyo Sharingan, or “Kaleidoscope Copy Wheel Eye.” This eye grants the user the ability to use the three Great Techniques of the Sharingan, called Tsukuyomi, Amaterasu, and Susanoo. However, using the Mangekyou Sharingan takes a toll on the users eyes, robbing them of sight, unless the user of the eyes steals the eyes of his/her brother/sister. The ultimate purpose of the Mangekyou Sharingan is to control the Kyuubi.

Byakugan: These special eyes grant the user a near 360 degree field of vision, save for a blind spot near the spine. Their vision can also extend for miles, and can be focused to find even the smallest of beetles in a large forest. There is one more ability of the Byakugan, the ability to see chakra lines and by using their fighting style, Gentle Fist; they can disrupt the natural flow of chakra.

Rin’negan: The Rin’negan is the ultimate of the Doujutsu. The Rin'negan is characterized by a number of concentric circles around the pupil of the user. Its power is said to be enough to save or destroy the world. It has recently been revealed that in addition to allowing an individual to quickly copy/master various jutsu, those with the eyes may access all six forms of elemental chakra. Though the ***** has only revealed five of these types. Kishimoto has apparently revealed that the eyes grant a higher-frame, high accuracy insight surpassing the Sharingan and gives the user three times the normal human visual range, making it a rival of both the Sharingan and the Byakugan. It was first possessed by the Sage of the Six Paths, said to be the founder of the ninja world and the creator of the first ninjutsu.

*Body Manipulation: This category of Kekkei Genkai allows the user to manipulate the cells in their own body to perform a number of effects. These abilities include:

Soma no Ko: A rather unique ability first demonstrated by followers of Orochimaru named Sakon and Ukon. This Kekkei Genkai allows the users to fuse together into one being. When one is in danger, the other can spawn his/her limbs in any position for a counter attack. When needed, the pair can separate, often overpowering single opponents. While separate, one can also infect their opponent like a parasite, killing the opponent’s cells as quickly or slowly as desired. However, if the host hurts him/herself, the damage passes over to the parasite.

Shikotsumyaku: To be blunt, the users of this Kekkei Genkai can manipulate their own bones for use in combat. They can be hardened into the perfect shield or formed into the perfect spear for attack. This Kekkei Genkai is extinct.

*Chakra Manipulation: A category which allows the user to combine one or more chakra elements to create a brand new one. So far only two have been revealed, and those are:
Hyoton: Water + Wind= Ice
Mokuton: Water + Earth= Wood

Ninja Ranking: Each ninja has a rank depending on their experience and skill, they are as follows:

*Academy Student: Basically, an individual who has just started on their ninja path. Academy students are usually very young and train until they are 10-11 years old when they move up to the next level.

*Genin: Genin are the apprentice ninja who make up a majority of the ninja force of a nation. Due to their inexperience, they are rarely given missions beyond looking for lost cats or mowing lawns.

*Chuunin: By taking a special exam, Genin may be able to move up a level to Chuunin. Chuunin are “Journeyman Ninja” and are allowed to take more complicated missions such as bodyguard duties or minor infiltration missions.

*Jonin: Chuunin who wish to attain this level must first pass another test and be personally accepted by the local Kage, if they belong to one of the Five Great Nations. Jonin are “Elite Ninja” and are often assigned to assassinations of lower profile targets, or the capture of fugitives.

*Specialized Jonin: These ninja are technically Jonin, but they focus on one specialty. They could be master of interrogation, or of healing Ninjutsu. They are ranked lower than normal Jonin, but they are in no way less important than normal Jonin.

*ANBU: ANBU is short for Ansatsu Senjutsu Tokushu Butai, or the Special Assassination and Tactical Squad. They serve their village’s leader directly and often carry out tasks such as high profile assassinations and maintaining the security of their village. They conceal their identity behind animal masks and the identities of ANBU operatives are known only by the leader of the village.

*Kage: A level of ninja so powerful, only five official ones exist. They are the leaders of the Five Great Villages and control massive numbers of ninja. The only individuals more powerful than them politically are the daimyo of the nations that contain the villages.

*Missing-nin: The Missing-nin are ninja who have left their villages for whatever reason. Missing-nin are deemed criminals and are placed in large books called “Bingo Books” and are given bounties based on their actions before they defected. Your characters will all be this rank.

-Rules-
1. Don’t make characters that are too powerful. While Akatsuki members should be somewhat strong, it’s still possible to go overboard.
2. If your sign up doesn’t meet my standards, it will not be accepted. I’m a fair GM, so I will tell you how to improve. I will not walk you through it, but I’ll leave you some helpful hints for the next time. Three strikes and you’re out…for good…no questions, no buts.
3. Please read all the posts that came before your own, and please keep in contact with your assigned teammate. I don’t want one person killing someone, then in the next post; your teammate would still be fighting him.
4. No short posts please. Try to keep things at least 2-3 paragraphs or more.
5. If you need to go away for a little while, PM both myself and your teammate so we can work things out while you’re gone. We’ll think of something for your character to do while you’re out.
6. Cussing is allowed if you set up a warning beforehand. Also, don’t try and cheat the swear filter, we’ll know what you’re trying to say. Bear in mind though that this isn’t an R rated RPG, so none of the George Carlin Seven is allowed.
7. Bunnying is prohibited. However, it will be allowed between partners provided there’s consent to do it and you remain in character.
8. There’s a password hidden somewhere in this board. Find it and provide it with your sign up or reservation or else you’ll be denied and lose a strike.
9. RPG samples, people! It’s a requirement for both sign ups and reservations, though you need only show me once, unless you’re planning for the right thumb ring, then you’ll need two samples.
10. Don’t deviate from my plot. God-Modding makes me a saaaad panda! (Free cookie for anyone who got that joke)
11. Remember the English language! There are things called grammar and correct spelling that if you haven’t heard about them, you really ought to before even trying.
12. Romance=Cool. Implied sex=Alright. Details=Don’t need to know!
13. For Kekkei Genkai, Soma no Ko and the Byakugan are the only two pre-existing Kekkei Genkai you’re allowed to use for the RPG, but think outside the box, damn it!

Two Days Ago-7:55 P.M.

It was chilly in Karakura Town. December was coming right around the corner and snow was already falling from the sky. It painted the landscape a pale blue and covered nearly everything it could and made the whole place sparkle. The sky was already black, and the bright shining stars covered the sky. Most of the lights in nearby houses were turned on, and the street lamps glowed a soft, comforting yellow.

A lady dressed in thick winter clothes walked down the deserted street leading to her apartment complex. She carried a bag full of groceries and snow was already covering some of the fruit and vegetables on top. The paper, brown bag itself was soaked, small water droplets were dripping from the bottom, and it was a wonder how it was still holding. The lady herself, despite the warm clothes she was wearing, was quite wet. Her hair had little fluffs of snow covering it, and her face was chilled and raw with no hood protecting her face. The red jacket with a furry collar had only a few dry spots on it, and her jeans were entirely soaked, the tough, leather boots were no different from the pants.

Nevertheless, the lady was smiling, an easy smile covered her face, and didn’t evaporate when she saw a young, blond boy perched on the stout, black metal gate that led into her apartment.

“Hello,” she said.

“I’m guessing you’re Mitosuki Izumi.” The youth replied, he was dressed in school clothes by the looks of it, and had a dark green jacket covering his top.

She gave a faint laugh, “Is that how you greet someone?”

The boy sighed, and from his hand, he showed her a picture of her in the Urahara Shouten, “Sorry, but I’m in a hurry.”

She raised an elegant eyebrow. “Hm?”

“I’ve been asked to get you by Urahara-san.”

Her smile got wider. “I’m guessing he needs a big favor if he sent someone to get me.”

“How did you know?” the boy said sarcastically in his Osaka dialect.

“Well, what is it?”

“You’re not shocked?”

Now it was her turn to sigh, but she never lost that sly, cheerful expression she had, “Its Urahara, nothing really surprises me when it comes to him.”

“Well it concerns Aizen.”

“Aizen?”

“You don’t know about him?”

“I’ve been gone for around 250 years, my memory gets faint.”

The boy looked at her apologetically, “I suggest ya make a pot of tea when ya hear about this.”

Izumi nodded, “Might as well, but just wondering kid, are you still in your gigai? My neighbors might think of me as crazy, or more crazy than I already am if they see me talking to thin air.”

“I am in my gigai.”

“Great, than you can tell me about how Soul Society is, on the way in.”

The boy nodded and jumped off the metal gate. “I’m Hirako Shinji by the way.”

Izumi punched in her apartment password in a little, electronic box right on the wall next to the gate. It beeped twice and the gate opened.

“So how’s it been Hirako-san?”

“Not well, you see….”


Karakura Town-6:00 A.M.


A captain, no, three captains had deserted Soul Society. The news didn’t surprise her though. She always had known it would happen someday, but not in this type of force, or power. If they left quietly like her because they disliked the values of Soul Society would she have been able to let it go. But they left because they didn’t like the values, and because of a more horrible, frightening reason.

They left for more power. Power was one thing Izumi couldn’t understand why someone would want. She was happy to have been an eleventh seat. She didn’t need to become a taichou to be satisfied with her position. Maybe she never really cared about what position she was in a division. She just cared about happiness. And Soul Society didn’t make her happy, it took all the life out of her, and that was why she left.

But now everything in Karakura made more sense. The hollow-like creatures-Arrancars, and now she understood why there were more Death Gods here. She would have liked to have been kept out of this, like Hirako or Shinji as he was called. But this would effect her too. And she wanted to keep that peaceful non-shinigami life she held.

But…desperate times called for desperate measures.
For the first time in 2 years, she went out of her gigai. The feeling was strange, but it felt good nevertheless. She was wearing her regular attire, or summer clothes as she called them now. The maroon shirt, and jean shorts and Kashinfuu, the ‘umbrella’ was strapped on her belt.

She decided to take the more scenic route than just doing a bunch of flash steps. She decided to jump on a roof and then another, feeling the fresh breeze as she went by. The coldness didn’t affect her anymore, since she wasn’t in her gigai. And it felt fun to jump across buildings without people pointing at you, as if you were a monster.

Izumi reached the Urahara Shouten in good time, around 20 minutes after she left her house. But the sight surprised her, and she couldn’t help but grin that lofty grin of hers. There were shinigami here, but she could lose them with shunpo if they attacked her. Anyways they were busy with an Arrancar-looking thing. All three of them looked outraged and she decided not to butt in and waste her energy. After all, it seemed that they all weren’t dangerous, since Urahara and Yoruichi weren’t helping anyone out.

“What a quaint place, you’ve got here Urahara.” She stated loudly and in an amused tone.

I've kind of worrying that I forgot something, but it seems right. D:

RPG Sample: Here is teh best... it is from POP at Pokecommunity.

Brad awoke to the obvious rumble of Xavier getting dressed. The sophomore had no regard for Brad's sleeping habits, and it was 4:00 in the morning! The sun (if Brad hadn't blocked the windows) would not even be stirring out of it's solar bed even then.
"WHAT THE HELL! I AM SLEEPING!!!" Brad said in a an angry, but quiet, tone. Brad has absolute rage in his eyes, his knuckles cracked in preparation to punch Xavier in the stomach.
"Oh. Must have missed ya, freshie. Got to go to basketball practice. Hope you're not too tired. Poor thing." Xavier mockingly said.
"Hmm... so, off to practice idiocy. At least my sport is practical. Go, waste your time, I do not care. Hope you do well, accursed sophomore. I'll be laughing as you fail." Brad bitingly responded. One thing the tan man didn't like was mockery, but his words were as sharpened as Xavier's, and cut just as deep. Xavier just walked out.

Brad entered the shower, and after about 10 minutes, emerged from it. Then, Brad got dressed. He put on his black leather jacket- alligator leather, Maltese (blue-grey) Tiger fur inside, and overall, very comfortable. He also put on his silken white dress shirt, his pants, and his black leather shoes. He also got his bag for swimming together- school issued white swimming suit, completely hydrodynamic, and his black goggles, both went in to the black tote bag. Emblazoned upon it was the Matthews Incorporated logo, a large black M with red fire inside the borders.

Brad was bored, and his eyes were too tired to play a game of Civilization, so he went outside, and saw a huge pile of books burning. He went back to his room, got some Belgian chocolate, marshmallows, and graham crackers, and out of Brad's black cane, which he had bought, came an unsheathed foil, meant for fencing. It had a diamond knob. Anyways, Brad skewered a few marshmallows, and eagerly watched them burn. Brad had always loved fire- so destructive, so powerful, so cruel. After the marshmallows had roasted, Brad made S'mores. Brad ate them, and the sugar bolted him from his half-conscious daze. For the next few minutes, Brad did this, and a few others came. He then finished his pyromaniacal fun, and went back to his room. A new book lay on his desk- upon it lay the name "Generals". Brad read it- and saw many things he planned on disobeying. For one, Brad would slouch whenever he pleased. Brad hated women's ettiquete.
"Obsolete ideas from the Victorian Age- they clash with modernity, and therefore, with me. I mean, come on!" Brad thought.

At 5:30, Brad left for swimming tryouts. He got dressed in his suit. The short woman there, curvaceous in structure, black in skin, told him to get in. He did so, and did what was required- 10 freestyle laps, 10 butterfly laps, 5 breastroke laps, and 7 backstroke laps. Afterwards, he showered once more, got redressed, and went back to his room. Since Xavier wasn't back, Brad played Civ. Time for more computer generated genocide, Brad thought. A smile of demented glee crossed his golden face.

Second Sample: From Draconia

Dante stared at the ceiling, drifting off as more students were sorted. Some into Fafnir, some into Orochi, some into Nidhogg and some into Coca. Dante could care less. He really did not care who went where- who was he to judge? His eyes descended slowly as time went on.

At that moment, he reclined, his face relaxed, his eyes half closed as a maelstrom of random thoughts, half-baked, swirled through his mind. Dante was absolutely bored- he wanted to hit the ground running. He talked to Baphomet in his mind- it was Baphomet's doing, not his.
"Dante, are you bored? I sure am. We need to explore- wonder is a sign of not knowing enough- and were both wondering, I know." said Baphomet irritatedly. He hated to wait.
"Baphomet, patience is a virtue. Soon, we shall move, and explore. Relax, my friend. It shall be fine." said Dante calmly. His words seemed to cool down Baphomet. However, Dante himself was not as calm as his soothing words. He refocused his mind, and a storm of worries pummeled the boy. His face tightened in concentration- his eyes conveyed a sense of worry as the names droned on without end.
"How will this year be? How will I do? Will I be in the spotlight? Hopefully not. I prefer being hidden from the public eye. Will me and Baphomet be powerful enough? Has my scant two weeks of training worked in my favor, even a bit? Why do I worry so? It is not normal for me." Dante thought unnervingly. He shifted on his seat, and sat up straight. Sweat dripped down his black face, and his arms trembled a little. Dante did not know whether others saw him or not, but he did not care about the thoughts of others. He was worried about so much- he guessed a delayed coming of teenage anxiety. Then, the headmaster began to talk. In his mind, he heard Baphomet faintly laughing at Dante's ironic discontent- Dante had seemed calm moments before.

"Within your houses you will be competing against one another for points and prizes, but of course our main mission is to protect the mythological creatures of the world and make sure of their safety, but that does not mean that we do not wish you to have fun whilst doing so. But there are also a few rules we wish you to stand by. You will not fight one another unless you are in a class, you will not put your Dragon’s against one another and you are not to go out of school bounds without our permission. The forests, the ocean, the rivers and what not are all off limits unless you are given permission or are accompanied by a teacher, prefect or higher, there are dangerous creatures who resign there and we do not wish you to encounter them without proper training. There are creatures, who resign closer to the castle and on castle grounds, BUT they are tame or they are harmless. Neither will I have you harming the creatures that live here either and with that said, let the fest begin!” said Mr Rodriguez.

Dante was not surprised at the regulations- classic paranoia, at least by his strict standards. However, he was annoyed that exploration was limited without teachers- extracurricular adventure would be extremely hard to pull off. He was happy he did not have to fight other people outside the arena- Dante avoided vulgar brawls, and made sure to avoid aggressive people.
"Ugh. No exploration. They better have good books to read. Now for food." Dante thought. He was annoyed with no exploration- the outside grounds gave him solitude and with that, comfort.

As the food came, small dragons, known as Drakens, flew into the room, their multiple colors and mass numbers making the hall look more psychedelic than a room full of hippies. They delivered food. Dante was the only one on his end, and he ate in silence. His eyes were sullen, dark- no one even looked at him. Alienating others, Dante had long ago surmised, was the first part of remaining alone. Perfect. Baphomet soon zoomed out of his eye, and ate quickly. At a small size, his dark colors quickly blended in with the black tablecloth. Dante ate small amounts- a bit of chicken, steak, lobster, and some drink.

Taijutsu Style: He uses Cosmos Control to slow his opponent. Then, he slits their throat, etc. In fist to fist or against people who can thwart his Kekkei, he is also pretty good.
Ninjutsu: (What kind of jutsu can your character use?)
Genjutsu:

Screams of Dementia-

This long-range, high intensity jutsu causes the victim, upon hearing, to lose a lot of cognitive abilities- i.e, go insane. If prolonged, it can cause mental damage, but not in short doses. The noise is silent- too high for the human ears- so it is very hard to detect, and therefore, thwart.
Kinjutsu: (No card carrying member of Akatsuki can leave home without one. Limit one per customer.)
Other: He was a Kumo version of a Sannin before desertion.
RPG Sample: See above.

I'll put the rest later. This guy won't be too powerful- I swear upon my money.

Here is my RPG Sample. it is originally from Psychic's Plight of the Power Plant RPG:

“Get your filthy paws off me, will ya!” Zip yelled at the two stoned faced Ampharos holding him still. “I’m starving! Let me go and find an electric source already. They had me in that electronic deprived hole called a prison. You two can even chose the source for me. I promise not to escape. After all, you two are stronger than me.”

The two guards looked at each other for a second before looking down at their charge and simultaneously bellowed “NO! Now shut up, we are almost at the entrance of the basement. Our orders are to bring you there no matter what!” And with that they looked forward and started to march once again.

“Whatever, you dingbats. You are all the same, brainwashed by the freakin’ Overseers. When was the last time they actually got off their lazy asses and did something for the Plant. I tell you, they are all a bunch of right old gits.” Zip blabbered on while the guards tuned him out as they usually did when he got like this.

When they arrived at the entrance, the two guards lead Zip straight up to Overseer Jubncoil as they were instructed. After they made sure that they Overseer had Zip, they left with a slight jump in their step as they were finally happy to be rid of their annoying charge.

Zip knew that if he tried to run away, he would just be captured and brought back to the entrance. So he conceded himself to just floating in silence until it was time to go. As he looked around, what he saw disappointed him. It seemed that part of the exploration team consisted of young pokemon, which annoyed Zip to no end. There was one young Electrike that Zip already wanted to strangle based on the hyperactive behavior he exhibited since arriving at the basement entrance. What he was most disappointed in was the fact that leading this little ragtag group of pokemon was the crazy Overseer Jubncoil. Once again the Overseers showed just how lazy they were by sending her. There had to an Overseer that was better suited to lead such an important mission. Just when Zip was going to say something smart-alecky, Jubncoil started to speak.

“Greetings, everyone, I would like to thank you all for being here; both those joining the expedition and those supporting us. It is comforting to know that so many inhabitants of the Power Plant care so much for it that they are willing to do whatever possible to save it. Your courage is to be greatly commended, and will surely be remembered for years to come.”

Yeah right. Zip thought to himself. I’m being forced to do this and like anyone would give a crap about what I did.

“This place is home to some truly amazing Pokémon, and I am proud to say that these Pokémon are the ones standing in front of me today.”

God, she is crazier than I thought. Most of the pokemon coming are weaklings who think that they can help but really they will only get in the way. What truly amazing is how dumb you sound right now.

“The Power Plant has served as home, as refuge to us all from any time from the past week to all our lives, however we each treasure this sanctuary dearly. Because of this we must fight for it with all our hearts and souls, and we will not rest until we find the source of the electrical current that is rendering so many of our comrades – friends, family and strangers alike – weak and helpless. We must preserve this place so that it may serve as a haven for Electric Pokémon for years to come, a safe place where we know we can live away from danger.”

Blah. Blah. Blah. Can we get this show on the road already? Jeez, this woman talks too much.

“So join me now as we head into the basement, into the unknown, together as one strong entity so that we may save our fellows and make sure the Power Plant remains the safe haven it has been for so long!” Jubncoil proclaimed through the cheers that Zip found annoying

Bout freakin time, Chatty. And jeez, these guys will clap for anything. Guaranteed most zoned out about halfway through that speech. Zip smirked as he followed behind the rest of the pokemon down into the basement.

Second Dawn's finally up, eh? I'd like to reserve a spot, on the honour of the

Spoiler: Password

Sekai Taicho,

Spanda. (Yes, I got the joke.)

Yet another Hollow.

Why is it that despite there being so many shinigami about there's always the same three words, spread across the cell phone's GPS map, in bold flashing red letters: HOLLOW DETECTED.

Yet another Hollow.

Tenrai was, chronologically, one of the oldest shinigami serving the Soul Society, but he didn't look older than 18, his youthful face noted for its handsome, almost foxlike features, blue eyes always gazing out into the world with a cheerful light. He was there long before Kuchiki Rukia, Abarai Renji, Ichimaru Gin (or as he liked to call him, "that bastard"), to name but a few. Yet for all his experiences, he would give his kingdom just to stop being called for those goddamned Hollows. Still, this is the only work he ever got, being just a lad when killed, and at the end of the day, everyone did their job.

Tenrai materialised, as a black butterfly practically indistinguishable to all but the spiritually aware, into the Sakurabashi district, standing on the titular curved bridge in the middle of Tsubakidai Park. Yet there were no cherry blossoms; briefly, Tenrai wondered if Kuchiki-taichou would be disappointed by the distinct lact of pink heart-shaped petals on the trees, which stood as barren ugly skeletons in the midst of snow. The river under the bridge was little more than a large spread of black nothingness that threatened to consume all that dared to step on it for a joke. Tenrai was only touching the ground in this different environment that only spirits could dwell. Like the young brown-haired woman in lilac business clothing screaming at the top of her lungs, running in distress.

"Always the women," Tenrai sighed. For this woman was being pursued by a bipedal creature, its monstrous body jet blacked and hunched on all fours like a gorilla, a skeletal mask with vibrant designs and beady yellow eyes peering out of it. The woman had no chance against this heartless beast; hence why Tenrai was about to dispatch it. It would be quick and it would look easy.

Leaping gracefully from the bridge with remarkable height, Tenrai arced downhill from his jump in a somersault, drawing out the katana hanging at his waist, hands wrapped tight around the golden hilt; he was coming to the end of the vault, and would be positioned between the monster and the woman. In one swift moment, a flash of silver as he drew the katana lit the wintery air, and a spurt of crimson signalled the horizontal severing of the creature's mask. The beast gurgled briefly, before its whole body dissolved into mist, its blood and mask completely wiped. The woman stood there, frozen; Tenrai had still kept the sword in the air and was swinging it towards her. She screamed-

But there was no pain. She looked up to see the end of the hilt being drawn away, and a strange feeling of euphoria and peace settled around her.

"Wh-What's going on?" She asked the blond shinigami. He merely smiled cheekily.

"See you on the other side, sweetheart." She immediately turned scarlet.

"S-Sweetheart?! Wait a minute, how old are y-" But her sentence was cut off, for she had disappeared in a flash of light. Hollow eradicated and Soul Burial completed. Excellent. But just as Tenrai began to consider moving, the phone beeped again.

"Oh, for heaven's sake, not another Hollow!" He spat angrily, flipping it open, but there was no alert. Instead, there was a new message sitting patiently in the Inbox. Puzzled, Tenrai read it.

Kenkaku,

This is a direct order and you are not to question it in any way. I am told you are to be sent to the Urahara Shop in Karakura Town. This contains a former shinigami who is identified as trustworthy. You are to report there immediately under new orders. DO NOT DO ANYTHING ELSE UNTIL FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS FROM URAHARA-SAN. THIS IS OUT OF MY HANDS.

Kuchiki-taichou.

RPG Sample -

Umikx was surprised by the sudden change in atmosphere, almost as soon as she had heard his voice; Zerix’s voice was no longer. She now stood in a room where multiple cards floated in front of her; there were pictures on them, some of people, some of locations and others of items. Some she thought looked familiar, others not so much. But each and every one of them twigged something in her mind that was for sure and Zerix had said that each one would show her true past. She wasn’t exactly sure how and she wasn’t exactly sure if she wanted to see them but if she wanted these painful flashbacks to go then she would have to put up with whatever the cards had to offer her. Stepping forward she reached out one graceful hand to touch at the first card, it had the picture of a ship on it and almost immediately after her longest digit encountered the card she was met with another flashback, only this one was much clearer.

A girl with Black hair dressed in typical pirates clothing was hoisting a flag high above the ship. A bandana was wrapped around her throat and she held the pirates brand scar on her wrist. A man was watching her from the top deck with a smile on his face; it was that of a father. “That’s the way my girl, you’ve got it!” He yelled, throwing his arm in the air. The girl grinned and jumped down from the box she was standing on, another crew member lowered her down and she gave her thanks before running up to the top deck to stand at the man’s side. “So cap’n, where we be headin’ this fine day?” The girl asked looking out to the horizon. The man laughed, slapping a hand on the girls back. “Why Tortuga me girl! Where all the finest of Pirates gather!”

The Black headed girl yipped “Fantastic! All this time at sea has given me right ol’ sea legs, papa. To go to port would be a god send.”
The man nodded. “Aye. That it would.”
Suddenly the boat began to shake from side to side, the girl held onto her father while he in turn clutched at the wheel. “What the-!” It gave another violent shake, but this time several men were thrown overboard and a loud shriek was heard from beneath the waves.
The girl closed her eyes shut in fear and clung to her father tighter, it was then it gave yet another violent shake and the girl was forced to leave her father’s side as she herself was thrown towards the edge of the ship. She managed to clutch to the wood and her gaze immediately flew back to her father, who was also staring at her. “Hold on, lass!”
She could have held on if it weren’t for the large moss colored tentacle that emerged from the water. “Look out. Miku!”
There was a high pitched scream as the girl was pulled overboard by the tentacle and submerged underwater.

Umikx was violently thrown form the memory and she landed on her backside on the white floor before the rest of the cards. She groaned and brushed herself off as she stood. It still didn’t make any sense, the girl was her but why was she remembering something like that when she had never lived it. Or had she? Walking towards the cards yet again, she placed her hand on another with the picture of Twilight town on it. The same thing happened yet again and she was sitting looking out at the sunset. This was another girl

A young girl with emerald eyes and long dark brown hair sat staring up at the setting sun, the sky was a deep orange with a hint of pink and it shined off of the young girl’s hair perfectly. Her eyes were sad and sat by her side was a small puppet, it was designed like a wolf, not colored, just plain wood. She swung her legs over the side, her toes just about skimming the sea's salty water. She wasn't alone, two boys and a girl sat along side her, all of them swinging they're legs in the same motion. The girl with the pink hair and the shocking blue eyes turned to the girl with the puppet and smiled. "Miku, do you want to come to the fair tomorrow on top of sun set hill? You can bring Diego with you."

Miku turned to the girl and smiled. "Yeah, sounds cool. It sounds like a great way to end the vacation." She leaned forward a little so that she could get a glimpse of the other two boys. "What about you two?" She asked. "You coming to the fair?" The four of them were best friends, they hardly left each others sides unless there was need to and if even one of them didn't go to the fair then it was likely the others would give it a miss too. The blonde haired kid with the brown eyes nodded. "Of course, I'm gonna see if I can win a fish or something, mom wasn't very happy when I brought home that stray. She said anything that didn't have fur."
The other, butcher kid with the Red hair and amber eyes also nodded. "Yup! I've known about it for ages, the guy at the candy shop was telling me about it because he was setting up a stall there. I forgot to tell you guy's, you know how I am."
The group laughed and Miku ran a hand through her hair. "Okay, cool, so how about we meet at mid day tomorrow and make our way to sun set hill then?"
"Sounds good to me"
"I'll be there"
"No problem!"
Miku smiled, delighted that the group would get to spend yet another day in each others company. Or so she thought...

The next day was shrouded with darkness. Miku didn't know what was going on when her father barged into the room and grabbed her out of bed. Her heart leapt into her mouth and she wanted to ask what was wrong, but simply couldn't, she could hear screams from outside the window and tears streaming down her fathers face. She began to cry herself and the poor sight of the man. "Dad..."
He only hugged her closer to him and ran down the stairs as fast as he could without dropping his daughter. Her mother was no where to be seen, and immediately the tears started to flow full force down her cheeks. Her father ran for the front door, but the path was blocked by creepy looking black shadows. He rested Miku's head on his shoulder so that she could not see them and colted the other way, taking the back door instead. Miku heard the screams get louder and louder and with this she became more and more afraid.

She was surprised when her father put her down and looked her straight in the eye. He clutched her shoulders. "Find your friends and leave the town. Go to the beach or somewhere, but don't look back. Do you understand, Miku? She nodded. "Dad, what’s going on?"
He shook his head. "Just find your friends Miku." He handed her her precious puppet and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "I'll find you, I promise."
It was a lie.

Never the less, Miku turned her back on her father and ran in the direction of Tammy's house. What she found was horrifying. Her best friend's pink hair had turned white, her eyes showed nothing as they looked up at the ceiling and next to the dead body was a small shadow like creature, its heart missing from its chest. Miku took a step back and looked the shadow straight in the eye. "You killed her..." She said disbelief in her voice. Her eyes narrowed "You killed her..." Her voice grew deeper, darker. "I'll kill you." With that, Miku threw herself at the shadow, but unfortunately it shrank and slithered off under the door frame. Miku turned back to her friend’s fallen body and ran a hand through her hair. "I'm sorry." She closed Tammy's blank eyes and grabbed a knife from the kitchen draw. "I'll avenge you."

She barged through the front door and took after the shadow creature. People were running for they're lives, but not her. She would chase them down even if it meant her life. But nothing prepared her for the sight that followed. The central town was filled to the brim with shadows and bodies, they're hearts taken from them and absorbed by the creatures. Miku dropped the knife in her horror and stared with wide eyes and the mass of shadows. Some were fighting each other over who was to take the humans hearts, others were chasing after people she knew and people she didn't and the rest were staring at her. She growled and picked up the knife again, charging at the nearest one. She yelled as she plunged the knife through the Smokey body. It didn't have the effect she had hopped for. She plunged to the floor, landing awkwardly on her knee and shattering the bone. She yelled in agony and clutched at the abused limb. Tears streamed down her face and all she could do was watch as the heartless fiends drew nearer...

That was the same dream Umikx had had earlier that day, she didn’t get it. This was another girl but they still called her Miku and she still felt connected to both of the character’s she had seen in the flashback. Another card showed her yet another girl, this one with Sapphire eyes and dirty blonde hair, she was skateboarding through a town with flashing lights and large gates. She looked scared, as if she was running from something when a dark shadow loomed over her and the flashback ended yet again. Another card and another card and each of them showed different girls and boys in different places all ending with a shadow or a creature supposedly taking they’re lives. The last of the memories was pf a young woman with a child placing it in the crib. It was the same baby that she had visited on a number of occasions. The woman had dark red hair and warm amber eyes. She sung to the baby and pulled the thin blankets over it before it dropped off to sleep. Little be known to the woman a dark figure was standing in the door staring at her as she did her nightly routine. As the woman turned she was pounced and the flashback ended with yet another high pitched scream, this time it was not the victims but Umikx’s.

“Show me who I am, I do not want to know about these so called ‘me’s’ you have been showing me! Show me my true self!” She yelled, reaching for the last card in the line.

This one transported her to a beach just off the coast of a large, clear blue sea. A young girl with Purple hair sat staring out with a stick of ice cream in her mouth and a black guitar lying across her lap. She had Amber eyes and a fair complexion (slightly tanned), her attire consisted of a plain white t-shirt and a pair of denim three quarter length jeans. She was humming a song to herself as she innocently looked across the sea’s surface. She seamed at piece and Umikx knew for a fact upon seeing the image that this was her true self. She reached out to her only to have her hand pass through. The real Miku strummed a tune on her guitar before humming and starting over, she did this several times before she felt she got the right tune and started to play a song. However the sweet melody did not last long as a shadowy figure grabbed her leg and started to drag her out to sea. She yelled and screamed but there was nothing she could do. There was no one for miles and she had no weapons. She felt her heart being torn from her and suddenly she was floating in darkness. Many thoughts ran through Umikx’s head and she assumed these to be the thought of the fading Miku.

“No this can’t be it…”
“I won’t let this be it…”
“I’ll pull through, I have to…”
“I will…”
“I must…”

In the midst of the darkness she felt the presence of other heartless people and they’re lost memories. Miku began to feed off of these memories, creating something out of the memories of other people.

“I…I was created by feeding off the memories of the heartless. Within the darkness I made myself a somebody…even though I am a nobody. So that’s why I couldn’t remember who I was. I fed off of so many people’s thoughts that I completely forgot who truly was. The recreation I made of myself the other day was not me. This is me!”

She then found herself looking down upon herself. Umikx was unconscious on the beach. A shadow over looked her body and it was not one of the organization members she knew. It was another, he had blonde hair and a goatee, his ear was pierced and he was playing with a deck of cards. “Found you.” He whispered. But that was when another figure stepped in and she knew this one to be Zerix when she was pulled into a dark portal into the Organization she knew now.

The flashback ended and she was in the room once more. The cards before her vanished and she took a moment to gain control of herself before she created a portal and transported herself to the Pride lands.

----Pride lands----

She appeared in her Jackal form, a little worse for wear but she was more herself now than she had been before she had been able to see her memories. She sighed and gazed up at the night sky. “They better get here soon.” She mumbled.
