APPEARANCE

Akane stands at 6’1” or 186cm and is of a broad-shouldered and muscular build. She has very lightly tanned skin and piercing dark blue eyes. She has a rather striking nose, a rounded jaw-line with a pointed chin and often wears blue lipstick. She has two-toned medium length hair, with the majority of it mostly towards the back being a deep blue and the forward fringe being a faded cyan colour.

Akane prefers loose fitting or baggy clothing as she feels more comfortable moving in them; and that she can essentially keep her true stature hidden.

She often wears a baggy faded purple shirt with more open sleeves that she prefers to roll up closer to her shoulders. She also wears long fingerless crosshatch mesh gloves that reach under the rolled up sleeves, simple baggy dark blue almost black trousers and standard non-shinobi boots of the same colour.

In other cases, she can be seen wearing a black long sleeved shirt, full gloves with metal plates on the back of each hand, a deep blue haori with light blue icey decals along the edges at the bottom and across the sleeves of the haori, additionally she wears a hakama that only just reaches below her knees which is in the same colour as the haori with identical decals on the edges, she also wears deep blue leggings and retains her black non-shinobi boots as before.

BACKGROUND:

In a war torn world, hatred would come easily to many...

Though perhaps to none more so than the Uchiha Clan. Who, while not being inherently malicious, were people of intense raw emotions. These same emotions would cause many of their number to sway a certain way due several factors like even the various rigid traditions that they upheld. There were many expectations within the Uchiha too, strict rules to be followed, training regimens and perhaps most importantly; the ultimately vicious protection of their legendary Dojutsu— the Sharingan. This, compounded with the tense climate of the world, the Uchiha gave off a different vibe compared to during the long-lost peace-time, to a point where they had almost closed themselves off from anyone else...

Yes, indeed, in a war torn world, hatred would come easily to many...

However, this would not be true for all of the Uchiha. One of the clan’s youths, an oddity of sorts by the name of Isamu was always a bit different. Brave and idealistic, preferred to practice his natural water affinity over his natural fire affinity, was perhaps a bit too merciful towards his foes than what his clan may have preferred, that sort of thing. He held no ill will against the Uchiha, but he definitely felt as though he did not fit. Above all else he wanted to find himself in the world. So, one day, knowing all that he knew about his clan— the rules, the training and their tradition, Isamu did perhaps the bravest thing he could have possibly done—

He ran away, deserting the Uchiha after taking an opportunity during a skirmish with an enemy battalion, as soon as he was sure he could do so safely, and he never looked back.

Isamu traveled far and wide on his own, putting a stop to various injustices that he came across whenever he could; and he eventually found himself in the Land of Water. Taking a liking to the area in a short time, Isamu decided that it would be his new home. In making such a decision, it lead him to meet the love of his life; a part time fishmonger/restaurant owner and local fighter by the name of Ankā. She was a unique and rather fiery member of the Hoshigaki clan that also had some level of Yuki ancestry, resulting in her having the Hyōton affinity.

So, a few years later, they would have a daughter; Akane, who inherited the very same Hyōton affinity. Akane was noticeably far less shark-like compared to her mother, as she lacked gills or a blue pigmentation to her skin, she definitely had mildly rough skin in patches and even sharp baby teeth once they grew in. As a toddler, Akane quickly took a liking to several things very early on and they were expressed in several unique ways. Most notably; what could first be seen as a childish habit of playing with food, was actually a natural knack for experimentation and discovery of new flavors. This quality likely stemmed from how Akane closely watched her mother procure, prepare and cook food while simply observing as an infant.

Though, that said, as she grew up more, it became increasingly obvious that Akane’s eyes had something of a ‘piercing’ and striking quality to them, emphasized by how she came to present herself— taught from a young age to be confident in who she was by both of her parents. Regardless of where she came from, regardless of her ancestry on either side of her family, she was taught to see her uniqueness as a person as far more important than any of that.

Akane saw little reason to question the reason behind her parents going with this approach when she was in her teenage years and more likely to be a tad rebellious and critical. Being an individual of one’s own merits held greater importance over who they were in some way tied to. It made perfect sense to her! Even so, there had to be a reason for her parents emphasising the importance of this ideal...

That very reason would soon become apparent in the form of several Uchiha shinobi who had finally tracked down Isamu’s whereabouts after almost three decades since his disappearance. They had come with the personal intent to kill him under the assumption that he was truly a traitor and attempted an ambush when he was just outside his new home village. Of course, they were met with notable resistance from their intended target. Isamu was no slouch, however, he would be on the back foot for a while until assistance arrived in the form of his wife and daughter as well as some other locals. This caused the tide of battle to turn almost immediately; with the attacking Uchiha clansmen being successfully beaten, and just before they could have been killed, their lives called to spared when Akane herself confidently stepped forward to take a massive risk.

Not only was she the one to make the call, she intended to make a compelling case against the actions of these attackers, using both what she was taught and what she had learned about her family heritage over the course of the skirmish as the crux of her argument. There would always be a lot more to life than where you came from, the circumstances of one’s birth would not define who they were, what they did with their life would. The Uchiha clansmen were thereby convinced to see things from a fresh perspective— aiming to go on a journey of personal discovery— much like Isamu bravely risked his own life to do— to see if they could renounce their hateful ways in full one day. Initially stunned, everyone became grateful, and once healed, the ex-assassins would make their way out into the world once more; once finding it easy to despise, and now no longer.

Indeed, in a war torn world, hatred would come easily to many, but not to Isamu Uchiha, and especially not his daughter Akane Yuki.

Clan Traits:

[BOON] SHARINGAN: The legendary Dōjutsu of the Uchiha Clan, the Sharingan allows its user to read and predict the flow of battle and react steps ahead of their foe. It is known to be born from various powerful emotions in times of a dire need. To unlock the Sharingan, you must activate it for the first time in an Action Thread. It is initially awakened with one tomoe. Each additional time the Sharingan is used in an Action Thread, you improve your number of Tomoe by one, to a maximum of three. Once per thread as a short action, you can activate the Sharingan. If you end two consecutive posts with less than a fifth on your NP as chakra, the Sharingan ends. While the Sharingan is activated, you have access to the following abilities:

• Once per thread per tomoe, reduce the cost of a Genjutsu by 5 to a minimum of no cost
• Once per thread per tomoe, when using an evasion jutsu, increase the jutsu by +5x.
• Once per thread per tomoe, you can add the ‘Homing’ effect to an attack jutsu you use. If that jutsu already has the Homing effect, halve the power of evasions used against it.
  

At your third tomoe, you unlock the following ability while your Sharingan is active:

• Once per thread, when you witness a jutsu that isn’t a hijutsu, S-rank, and that you meet the requirements for (affinities or clan features), that jutsu is copied by your sharingan. You can only have one jutsu copied in your sharingan at a time, and can only use them while the sharingan is active. When you use a copied jutsu, it costs an additional 5 chakra. After you use a copied jutsu, it is no longer copied, and you cannot copy that jutsu again. You forget any copied jutsu when your sharingan deactivates, or at the end of the thread.

[BASE] HYŌTON | ICE RELEASE: Ice Release is a combined nature transformation Kekkei Genkai which is made up of jutsu that mix Water chakra in one hand and Wind chakra in the other to manipulate freezing temperatures, stall the natural flow of things, and control ice. You must start with the Water and Wind affinities, and you gain the special affinity ‘Ice’.

• You can spend 1 XP to apply Ice to a ninjutsu or genjutsu, or 2 XP for taijutsu.
• Ice counts as Water when attacking, and Wind when defending or evading, for damage type interactions.
• If an Ice Release jutsu deals at least 2 x their NP damage to an opponent, their next evasion jutsu is only half as powerful (rounding up). This does not stack, and cannot affect someone until the post after they have used an evasion jutsu.

[BANE] EYES OF INDRA: While the Sharingan is fierce and formidable, it is not without drawbacks. Using it is straining on the body and mind while untrained.

• [When the Sharingan deactivates, be it willingly or when its user has no remaining chakra, your evasion jutsu cost 5 extra chakra for 5 posts, or until you are healed by a jutsu or item. For each tomoe beyond the first, the extra chakra cost is reduced by 1.

Techniques:

E RANK
Name: Minamo hokō no Jutsu [Water Walking Technique]
Rank: E
XP: Starter
Type: Utility Ninjutsu
Description: This technique involves focusing chakra to the bottom of ones feet. The amount of chakra that needs to be emitted changes constantly so the user has to be emitting a constant stream of chakra from the bottom of their feet and using the repellent force to walk across the water's surface. Too little and the user will sink, too much and the user will greatly disturb the water's surface. Additionally, a user under water can focus chakra on their hands or any other body part that makes contact with the surface of the water. If they were submerged, they can climb atop the water as if they were climbing out of a pool.
[This technique uses no chakra points.]

Name: Nobori no Jutsu [Climbing Technique]
Rank: E
XP: Starter
Type: Utility Ninjutsu
Description: This technique involves focusing a fixed amount of chakra to the bottom of one's feet, and using that to climb solid without using one's hands or climbing equipment. If the stream of chakra is too weak, the user will lose their footing on the surface and fall off. If it is too strong, the user will be pushed away from the surface, causing the surface to be damaged around the point of contact and the user will fall.
[This technique uses no Chakra Points.]

D RANK
Name: Fūton: Toppa [Wind Release: Breakthrough]
Rank: D
XP: Starter, 4XP (2XP base + 2XP Piercing)
Type: Attack Ninjutsu
Affinity: Fūton | Wind
Action: Long Action
Chakra Cost: 5
Damage: 5x
Description: The user performs a series of hand seals, holding the final one, and takes a deep breath before exhaling a sharp gust of wind!
[This technique uses 5 Chakra Points. Inflicts 5x[Ninjutsu] wind damage. When this attack is blocked by a defence jutsu, the defence jutsu’s power is halved (rounded down)]

Name: Hyōton: Kōri no Ya [Ice Release: Ice Arrow]
Rank: D
XP: Starter, 3XP (2XP base + 1XP Ice)
Type: Attack Ninjutsu
Affinity: Hyōton | Ice
Action: Long Action
Chakra Cost: 5
Damage: 5x
Description: The user quickly bends chakra into a simple shape— a large indented triangle on the tip of their fingers. Holding the shaped chakra in front of their outstretched pointing hand, the user pulls back on an unseen thread of chakra that begins applying the advanced nature transformation of Ice, spinning the indented triangle at the same time. Doing it this way also assists with aiming it. Firing the technique is as simple as letting go of the unseen thread, which seems to spring back and send the sharp ice construct at an opponent.
[This technique uses 5 Chakra Points. Inflicts 5x[Ninjutsu] water damage— Ice counts as Water when attacking, for damage type interactions. If this jutsu deals at least 2 x their NP damage to an opponent, their next evasion jutsu is only half as powerful (rounding up). This does not stack, and cannot affect someone until the post after they have used an evasion jutsu.]

C RANK
Name: Suiton: Hōmatsu no Jutsu [Water Release: Bubble Technique]
Rank: C
XP: Starter, 4XP (3XP base + 1XP Delayed)
Type: Attack Ninjutsu
Affinity: Suiton | Water
Action: Long Action
Chakra Cost: 10
Damage: 10x
Description: After blowing dozens of bubbles, the user manipulates them to surround the enemy in all directions. Only the slightest amount of physical contact with an opponent is required to make these bubbles burst, resulting in a small but powerful explosion when they do. The user can then make the entirety detonate simultaneously with a snap of their fingers.
[This technique uses 10 Chakra Points. Inflicts 10x[Ninjutsu] water damage. If the attack hits, it does not deal immediate damage. Instead, the damage will be dealt when your target uses an evasion jutsu, when you use a short action on your post to cause the damage, or after three posts.]

Name: Fūton: Shinkuuma [Wind Release: Hollow Demon]
Rank: C
XP: Starter, 5XP (3XP base + 1XP Escape Prevention, +1 Damage Over Time)
Type: Attack Ninjutsu
Affinity: Fūton | Wind
Action: Long Action
Chakra Cost: 10
Damage: 10x
Description: After performing the needed hand seals and quickly exhaling, the user rotates their arms in opposing semi-circles before thrusting their arms outwards. The breeze in the immediate area subsides completely, to the point of dead air, but on the edges of the battlefield, a sharp wall of wind swirls around, ready to slice anyone foolish enough to try and escape the bout, and swirl around them relentlessly.
[This technique uses 10 Chakra Points. Inflicts 10x[Ninjutsu] wind damage. The damage of this jutsu does not happen immediately. No members of the thread can attempt an escape without using an evasion or defence jutsu of some kind. If someone uses an evasion or defence to escape the thread, the escapee is targeted by this attack, and the jutsu ends.The attack’s damage is evenly divided across 3 posts. The attack will still use its total value for the purposes of blocking or evading it.]

Name: Hyōton: Shunshin no Jutsu [Ice Release: Body Flicker]
Rank: C
XP: Starter, 4XP (3XP Base, + 1XP Ice Affinity)
Type: Evasive Ninjutsu
Affinity: Hyōton | Ice
Action: Short Action
Chakra Cost: 10
Damage: 10x
Description: By using the Body Flicker Technique, a ninja can move short to long distances at an almost untraceable speed. To an observer, it appears as if the user has teleported. It is accomplished by using chakra to temporarily vitalize the body and move at extreme speeds. In the heat of combat, a shinobi can use the body flicker to avoid a technique of similar level. This version of the Body Flicker technique leaves behind a sudden burst of ice shards as the shinobi vanishes to cover their movements and potentially cut their opponent.
[This technique uses 10 Chakra Points. Dodges for 10x[Ninjutsu+Speed] using wind. Ice counts as Wind when defending or evading, for damage type interactions.]/font]

Hey! Everything looks perfect. For your Ice Jutsu, you haven't listed the additional effects of the ice element, but that's non-essential. So... Approved!

I'll set up your profile shortly.
