Special Characteristics: Murder of Crows
The character has a large network of friends and associates that keep an eye out for him wherever he goes. Any time the character is in apparent danger or likely to be apprehended, a crow, or lookout, will approach him and give the word. Obviously there are limits to the reach of the character's network, but he will generally receive ample warning while around the slums, streets, and rookeries of the village.

Incorruptible
The character possesses a mysterious factor that keeps him from getting ill, literally rendering him immune to unknown pathogens, including the Plague. (Not Poisons/Acids/Etc, only "Disease")

Infectious Personality
The character’s personality is naturally infectious. Those in his presence will begin to take on his affectations, vocal patterns, and inflections. When he is happy, those around him laugh with him. When he despairs, those in his presence share his pain. (This only applies to NPC characters, you cannot infect another ninja's personality)

Light Sleeper
The character is very light sleeper. Any noise at all will instantly awaken him to a state of full alert. The character is no easier to sneak up on while asleep than he is when he is awake.

Time Sense
The character is never late. He possesses a preternatural sense of timing and knows the exact time down to a few seconds. Because punctuality and timeliness are intimately tied to professionalism in the Ninja mind, time sense is a much valued aptitude.

Resolve
The character has become accustomed to the horrors of the Ninja world and possesses a steely resolve. (A Character with this Spec cannot take Cowardice Spec as well)

* 'and the truth is...it's all a façade!'
{. appearance .}

Height: 5'6"
Weight: 125 lbs
Hair: Blue
Eyes: Light Hazel
Others: Her clan's symbol on the back of her right shoulder.
General Appearance: Akira a very unique looking girl, but no doubt a pretty one. She has a heart shaped face with large, bright eyes; long and dark eyelashes; high cheekbones; smooth skin and complexion; naturally pink lips and a cute check nose. Her hair is always washed and styled to perfection with the strange items she puts into the ponytail to keep her looking interesting. She has a slim but curvy figure with her chest and hips the most prominant. She has slender limbs, with small hands and feet that seem out of proportion to her. The more noticeable thing about her is the large symbol of her clan; the kanji for her clan's name being 'mirror'. Despite her appearance of being a very slight girl, she is in fact very strong and agile. Being a Medical Ninja, she has been trained to be like this, and she barely gets injured in battle because of her speed.

Her usual attire consists of a short blue dress with gold patterns cutting across Akira's chest and going straight down the sides. The dress splits out into two on her thigh, and the gold bands therefore follow it. She also wears a pair of elbow length gloves that match the colours of her dress on her hands and the tops. They're fingerless, and have brown wrist protectors in the middle of them to clamp them onto her arms. There are a few flower clasps that undo and do up in bronze. Around her waist, Akira has a secure brown belt with a gold clasp at the front. The belt doubles as a weaponry pouch, having places for weapons on her right thigh and tailbone. She then wears knee-high brown boots with shin protectors with gold straps across the foot. She then wears some more protectors up to her upper thighs just below where her dress ends also in brown. And finally, she wears a dark red neckscarf around her neck tied loosely at the back.

* 'and what's hiding inside....behind all of our fears'
{. the facts .}

Personality: Akira is a very cheerful girl that always has something interesting to say. She loves to make people laugh, because it makes her happy if she does so. She has a very positive outlook on life, and will never get down about bad things that happen to her or her friends. She belives that everything happens for a reason, so if something bad happens she embraces it and learns from her mistakes. If her friends are hurt at all, she will lash out at the person that did so, and of course heal them as quickly as she possibly can. That's the main reason that she took on Medical Ninjutsu as her second specialty. It helped that she had Medically enhanced blood of course, but if she was able to heal her friends and comrades in battle, she saw that as an effective plus.

She does however have an explosive temper. If someone were to double-cross her, lie or say anything offensive about her clan and ways of life, she will start to see red and go into a blind fury. Needless to say, she always makes sure this never happens around anyone she is with. Whether that be with her friends or some students, she will always make the biggest effort possible to keep her temper under wraps.

She is also unbelievably determined when she fights. She won't give up until she beats her opponent or she cannot fight any more than she has done. If she can still stand, then she can still fight in her opinion. Even though she is injured and can most likely heal herself, she will never stop the flow of the battle to heal up. Her wounds with stay bleeding, or her burns will carry on getting worse without cold water. Poisons could spread and she wouldn't care. Her clan always had a strong sense of honour, and that was thus passed onto her. It was always said that her ancestors never gave up, and they were effective killing machines in truth. This captured Akira's huge imagination, and she of course wanted to be just like them, and better. That's where her never-dying determination and passion come from.

Akira also has a very cheeky and joking side that she shows nearly all of the time. She will never cry, even if it hurts her to hold it in. She refuses to be seen as weak, and when she is truly sad, it will mainly be let out in anger instead. There are a couple of holes in the back wall of her bedroom that she had fixed, but there are still tell-tale signs of her outbursts when she holds in her feelings for too long.

On top of this, Akira is a die-hard romantic. The only tradition that she refuses to follow in her clan's rulebook is that every marriage is an arranged one to a wealthier other half. She made a vow to herself that she will marry for love when the time comes. She isn't expected to marry until her early 20's, so she still has time to find that person she often daydreams about when she is not too busy around the village, which is not really all that much.

The Clan
History, Legend of the Clan: The Kagami clan are a very rare occurance to come across nowadays. They originate in Suna as typical glass blowers, but there was always a special quality about the glass items they created. The glass was beautiful and very strong. No one caught onto the family's secret for a long time, until a rogue member of the clan used the glass to fight off the authorties in Suna. The family were then forced to kill their own brother, and were bannished from Suna. They wandered all around the world, and finally came to settle in Iwa. Here they made another business that made glass vases and other luxurious items. It was always a small clan, and very remote. Even today in Iwa, only a select few people know of the abilties wielded by these people. They were deeply spiritual people that believed in old legend. They believe that their gift of being able to make glass is a gift from the Gods, and they think themselves as very special. The last members of the clan have recently died of age, only leaving one member left alive today to carry on the family traditions.
Kekkai Genkai or Bloodline of the Clan: Members of the Kagami clan have three elemental affinaties, which are Suiton, Doton and Katon. Suiton and Doton are used to create sand, and the Katon burns this sand to create glass. This glass can then be manipulated by the clan member to become hot and therefore molten liquid; or rock solid instead.
Clan Information
- Clan Size: 1 member
- Nature and Values: The Kagami clan are very grateful for each day that comes to them. As their old saying goes, 'Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That's why they call it the present.'
Additional Information
- Clan Founder: Eli Kagami (Deceased)
- Relationship: To the last remaining member of the Kagami clan, it means the world. So in that case, she was thought of very highly even before the clan members all died off.
- Clan Political Structure: In the Kagami clan, it used to be the typical 'women stay at home' attitude. But with the female and very independant Leader now in power, that has been turned on it's head. A new era has begun in the clan indeed.
- Important Members: Eli Kagami (Founder), Akira Kagami (Current Leader)

Character Skills
Medicine
Note, being a Medical Ninja is not required for this, this does not allow you to "heal" a person without the necessary medicine, you simply know which medicine to use and when.
Medicine is the science of the human body, in sickness and in health. A character with this skill is able to repair wounds and perform operations on the human body. He is, at least, conversant with the proper structure and functioning of the body and thus able to diagnose wounds and illnesses and perform the necessary operations to restore the body to health. The character will be able to observe the physiological responses of his companions and assess their condition even without the opportunity for a complete physical examination. The physician may be able to ascribe sinister causes to symptoms of which the sufferer himself is barely aware. If a medically trained character is given the opportunity to examine a wound, he will be able to determine the nature and severity of the injury and to prescribe a treatment. A character with this skill is familiar with the gross anatomical arrangements of the human body and the peculiarities of the various demonic, unliving and half-living forms. Anatomical medicine is part of the curriculum in a medical college, as it is thought that a doctor should practice cutting a dead body before being allowed to cut into a live one. Thus, the character is able to determine whether a body is human, making judgments on the living or unliving nature of a specimen; a skilled physician can work from very fragmentary materials.
• Combat Surgery (Combat Wounds, basic not major)

Acting
Acting is the art of portraying oneself as another person entirely. A skilled actor uses this skill to affect different emotional states and mannerisms and to suppress his own while doing so. This is useful to characters using a transformation technique.
• Comedy

* 'is our true self....locked inside the façade!'
{. the history .}

History:
Birth Arc
Akira was born in Iwa after her mother and father settled down in the glass making business, and so therefore is considered a citizen of Iwa. Only a select few people actually know of her history and where her family originates from, and she only found out later on in her life. Her mother was always there for her as a baby, and her father was always working in order to earn their upkeep. They got by, but only just. It was enough for food and drink, so that was fine for the small family. They were always happy, and that seemed to make up for their lack of money. Because Akira was also an only child, she recieved all the attention from her parents. Despite the fact that she may have become spoilt, she never did. Maybe it was because not a lot of money was being brought into the household to be spent on her, or maybe it was because even from a very young age she had a good sense of what was wrong and right.

Childhood Arc
As a child, Akira was given the bare minimum of toys, and so she always went to amuse herself. She took regular walks around the village, and often ended up in the huge ring to watch the ninjas fighting. From the age of 5 or 6, she was certain of the fact that she wanted to be a shinobi of Iwa. After watching all the ninja fighting, and seeing how strong and respected they were, she wanted to do that instead of taking over the family business. She knew that it would disappoint her parents, but she already had her mind made up. When she told her mother about the tales of her watching the fights, it was obvious her mother was surprised to say the least. But she smiled and told her young daughter to do exactly as she wants to do, and never let anyone stand in her way of doing so. Dreams were a big them, especially to Akira's mother. She always believed strongly in following one's heart, and so, Akira did.

She continued to watch the spars and events down at the ring in awe, taking notes occasionally and just taking in all the impressive things that these people could do. By the time Akira turned 7, she had enrolled in the Academy for Iwa, and thus began her training straight away.

Academy Arc
In class, Akira was a very good student. The only weakness she had was keeping her attention up for more than five minutes if it was a boring subject. Practical work outside to do with Ninjutsu was always a favourite of hers, and she had a particular talent with water jutsu. Her sensei noticed that Akira was barely ever ill, and decided to see if she was compatible to be a Medical Ninja. He injected her with a flu virus, and Akira stopped it from spreading any further with a jutsu to do so. Her sensei was really impressed and made sure to make a note of her talents in Medical Ninjutsu for definite.

As Akira went through the Academy days, she became more and more determined to become a ninja. She was always boundlessly optimistic and ethusiastic, volounteering for everything that was being done. Even things like writing answers down on the blackboard become fun with Akira running up, skidding there and almost falling over in the process. The best thing about her was simply how funny she was without realising it. Her facial expressions when confronted witha tough challenge, continuous cheering for her fellow classmates and forever saying how she'd better herself next time. She was very popular in class because of how nice she was to everyone, and outside of class she was even more popular. Especially with the boys.

But of course, all good things must come to an end, and then become better in Akira's opinion. The final examinations came very soon, and she had just turned 12. She passed the cloning test easily, and created 3 successful clones of herself. That was a new personal best, and of course Akira was very happy about that. Everyone never heard the end of it until the written exam when she had to knuckle down and do as well as she possibly could do. At the end of the exam, Akira was feeling confident. they were all questions she knew, besides one or two. When the results came back, she was top of the class, beating even some of the smartest young ninja because of her good performance in the clone test.

So, Akira Kagami could proudly call herself a ninja of Iwa; and she vowed to become one of the best from that day onwards.

Genin Arc
As a Genin, Akira showed a lot of respect towards her Jounin sensei and towards her team mates. They all got on really well right from the word go, so team work was easy for them all. Missions were a new point of seriousness that no one had ever seen before in Akira. She was always seen to be the funny, bubbly and loud one. Now when out on missions, she was the only one apart from her sensei that kept her cool and a level-head. Whenever missions were completed successfully, the whole team went out for something to eat aftwards to celebrate. In a little space of time, they all got to know each other so well they could have known each other all their lives.

Her main rival while growing up became Ochiba. He was older than her, and always seemed to be that one step ahead in everything. She was always sparring against him and got herself so frustrated and worked up whenever she lost that she would have to calm herself down and stop herself from crying sometimes. This was the first time in her life that Akira really had to work for anything. There was this passion, a new determination, to beat her lifelong rival, and she wasn't about to let that slip at all.

She continued in her Ninjutsu training, and it was around the age of 14 that she started to impress her Jounin sensei. The other team members she had were doing well too, and thus all of them were entered into the Chuunin Exams. After a long and hard 3 days of the examinations, Akira came out with a definite pass, and therefore was now a Chuunin officially. Just after her 15th birthday, Ochiba disappeared, just as Akira wanted to challenge him to test her new found strength. Instead of looking for him too hard, she took this upon herself to do more training and work in order to get better, and assure her victory against her rival.

Chuunin Arc
Being a Chuunin meant that Akira could get to train her Medical Ninjutsu at last, as well as a lot more Ninjutsu. Along with this she had been learning her clan's secret jutsu that her father told her about. It was only after she passed the Chuunin Exams that he found it the right time to tell her about their clan and abilities to make glass using Suiton, Doton and Katon. So, this was a lot of work for Akira, quite obviously. She stayed up for nights on end to train her new elements, jutsu and Medical Ninjutsu. Thankfully for her, her mother was an expert in Medical Ninjutsu. She used to be on a Medical core back in Suna, and considered one of the best out there. It was only right that Akira got this amazing teacher.

At last, after she had started to get a grasp on her Glass Jutsu, new Doton jutsu and Katon jutsu, as well as her Medical Ninjutsu, who else should come back but her rival. But something seemed different about him, something that made him seem strange to Akira. Because she was so wrapped up in her training, she didn't spar against him of course. The important thing for her was to become the best that she could allow, and that meant a lot of bettering herself.

Due to all the reports of her being quite powerful and determined, as well as having a very powerful bloodline ability, Akira was approached by a group of older Jounin who told her she had been chosen to take the Jounin Exams and see how she fares in them. If she passed them, then she would become a Jounin. If she failed, then Chuunin would have to be her limit for now. So, it was all to play for.

Before she could even get to the Jounin Exams, her parents were brutally murdered by a rogue ninja that ransacked the house while Akira was out training. This broke her heart straight in two, but even then, she refused to cry. She mourned the death of her parents for the good part of 3 weeks, and thus her exams had to be put off until then. While she was mourning, she had to revise all she knew about everything for the written exam. That exam was meant to be extremely hard, and so she had to cram a lot of information into her head. It was exceptionally hard with the death of her parents so close behind her.

So, she headed into the exam with a strange sense of determination this time. This determination was to become a Jounin for her parents' sake; something she'd never have to do before. It was a lot for an 18 year old to deal with, after all. Instead of dwelling too much on the fact that her parents were dead, she kept her head high and got a decent grade on the written paper. Next was a display of teaching skills and a few other jutsu tests, showing off ones skills in other words. Akira did all these challenges and had to wait in suspense for 2 weeks until the results came through to her.

'Congratulations Akira Kagami, you have now offically ranked up to a Jounin of Iwagakure. You have made us proud, and we wish you luck for the near future.'

Those were the words written on the scroll, and even to this day Akira can remember them.

Jounin Arc
To this day, Akira always tries her hardest for her village, now recently turned 19 years of age. She always lives for the moment ever since her parents death, and remembers their lives in a good way, rather than dwelling too much on the bad things. She is currently waiting for a team to lead, and she has grown in power and strength since being a Chuunin. She knows more Ninjutsu, and she is a master of Medical Ninjutsu. A great asset to Iwagakure; her enthusiasm and optimism carry through from her early days of being a ninja.

RP Sample:Rain pounded down to the already damp ground in sheets of glass, each one seeming to break and shatter as it hit the floor and buildings. Amongst this very heavy rainfall was the slight frame of a small teenager, leading two young children along. The older girl looked up occasionally, her white-blond hair sticking to her pixie-like face. The only sounds that could be heard was the crashing of rain, bellowing of thunder and crackles of electricity as lightning painted the sky. The teenager was named Amiya Inibikari, and she was leading her yonger siblings to safety. She knew now what she intended to do with her very messed up life. Her heart told her what she was doing was wrong, but her shattered mind was screaming that it was the right thing to do.

Since the voice in her head was louder, she followed that one instead of her heart's pleas for the greater good. She held out her petite hand and knocked three times solidly on the door before waiting for no answer, just going straight inside the small house. Her youngest sibling who was only 5 years old whimpered, looking up at his older sister, his only person now for guidance.
"Amiya-hime... what's going on?" He asked in a quivering voice before being gently pushed into the living room of the home. The elder of the two blinked a few times, and started to shake slightly as she looked up at her sister also.
"Why are we here?" The younger girl asked, looking fiercely into Amiya's eyes.
"Because... you're going to be staying with Uncle for a while, ok?" The teen said tiredly, before giving each of her siblings a hug and pulling her black hood up over her face.

No further sounds of protest came from the two children as they watched their older sister leave them, and just sat down on the sofa behind them.
"She's going to come back, right?" The boy said in a very uncertain tone.
"... Of course she will..." His sister finally answered, not quite sure herself.
