Personality; He did not leave his village in a violent struggle, vowing to one day take revenge against his former superiors. He did not leave his village in order to release his form of chaos into the world, seeking to stir war or incite fear. Rather, Tenshin left Furogakure because he felt that he did not belong there, bound to rules that he himself did not prescribe. Seeking to travel the lands far beyond his secluded, icy prison, Tenshin left as quietly and discreetly as he could.
Tenshin had always been a rational, observant, and insightful man. He was not born a gifted shinobi genius, nor did he work extremely hard in order to match the creme of the crop. With his patience and keen perception of his environment, Tenshin allowed himself to excel as a Shinobi. He never bragged about himself, nor did he beat himself up over any past mistakes. He felt that the most practical way to carry on his life was to believe in himself, yet not intoxicate himself with the desire for self-betterment. Thus, every setback could be overcome, and every mistake used as a learning experience to improve himself.
Those who came into contact with Tenshin remember him as a humble, amiable man, who could be both relaxed and happy one moment, but serious and unyielding the next. His concise control over his emotions helped him during his tenure as a Furogakure shinobi, catapulting him to the status of Jonin--along with his abilities, of course.
When Tenshin fights, he always does so with purpose. The most common reasons for combat in his life are self-defense and to protect his pride, usually as a result of being directly challenged. However, Tenshin does not seek out fights. He is more than happy to live without constant violence. Sadly, his life as a shinobi, particularly that of a rogue ninja, condemns him to face this unavoidable burden.
While collected on his thoughts, Tenshin struggles to keep his cool whenever he spots a good-looking women with impressive curves. He'll try his best to be smooth around women, making sure not to mess up. But even then, his feelings are still under his control.
Tenshin wishes to remain free and change the world so others can follow his path of solidarity. He views the village system and its militaristic shinobi as a taint on the world. Perhaps, one day, he'll work to erase it...
WHO'S IN CHARGE HERE?
Name; Axin
How'd You Find Us; I literally search on google, hopping around sites until I found a link to Rise on another site.
Other Characters; This guy's the first.
About You; I've been RPing for a while, but left the Naruto scene a while back for various reasons. Now I'm back into the fray!
RolePlaying Example; Let me warn you--this post is longer than my usual length. I am proud of this post, and wrote it a few months back on a Bleach site that I am a member of. I hope you like it."I have to acknowledge your power, Arrancar... You're unlike any opponent I've ever faced, and if I live through this, I'll never forget it."
"Hpmh. You are also fairly amusing, Shinigami. But I want to see me. I don't believe that you have used all the powers at your disposal already."
"But I'm not done yet, I still have a few tricks left to show you... Frost over; Blizzard Edge."
Janko floated in the air, motionless as he watched John prepare his next attack. The Arrancar decided that he continue with his more reactionary and defensive approach to this battle. He knew that, although his opponent was an overall weaker combatant than himself, he was nevertheless quicker and more skilled with his flash stepping than Janko was with his sonido.
"Ok, here I come!"
Within five seconds, John Baker had traveled 120 yards with his flash step. When he was approximately forty yards away, he unleashed his icy kido.
"Freezing Gale Shock Wave!!"
John's blade expelled the kido and sent it toward Janko. The icy spell, if it could connect, would certainly be powerful enough to freeze and hold Janko for a short moment. It would not damage him very much, but it could give John enough time to prepare for a more damaging attack.
That is, if it could connect.
While the attack itself was not slow, John had fired it at a distance of forty yards away. Forty yards would be too far away for such an attack to actually connect with Janko. The Shinigami seemed to be keeping his distance to secure his own safety. Perhaps he was still afraid of the Arrancar, who had been holding the upper hand through out most of the battle. If John had originally been closer and ended his flash step much closer to Janko, his technique would have undoubtedly worked. Alas, John's own precaution had blunted the potential of his icy blast hitting his opponent. Technically, Janko could fire another cero to stop the blast. The distance probably gave him enough time. But the Arrancar did not want to gamble and become momentarily frozen.
Using his sonido for the first time in battle, Janko pushed off against the air one meter to his left in a forward, diagonal motion. He timed it a few seconds before the cone could hit him. He had to prepare ahead of time because of his rather sub-par skill with it. He could only move one meter. While the speed of the movement did allow Janko to evade the attack, he was rather annoyed at his lack of prowess.
I will have to improve my Sonido. However, this battle is not the place for it. My opponent is too quick to allow me to train it. However, there he is not utilizing his skills to his fullest potential. If I am to become stronger, he must move beyond his fear and take a risk."
Janko began to walk forward in the air, his dark cloak blowing in the wind as he slowly inched closer to John. They were quite far apart--about seventy yards or so. Janko preferred to be closer to those he was fighting. He also wanted to see more from the Shinigami. Thus, he decided to spare a few words.
"Shinigami, this is not what I meant. You have just used a new power, but it did not reach me? Do you know why? I will take a guess.
Janko paused as he continued to walk toward John. When he spoke again, his voice was deeper, louder, and harsher, as if he was scolding the Shinigami. He was not even trying to intimidate, as he was when they first traded blows. Now, he wanted to draw out any latent power John possessed so that he could push himself.
"It is because you will never hit me when you are that far away! Cast aside your fears! Yes, you are a Shinigami and I am a Hollow, but for now we are nothing more than two warriors locked in a struggle. I seek to become stronger, so I eventually welcomed your intrusion to my training. I thought you could assist me through combat. But why have you come here!? To fight!? How could you claim so IF YOU STAND SO FAR AWAY!"
Janko held out his hand, as if offering if to John.
"No one, neither Shinigami nor Hollow, starts a fight just to back down afraid soon after. No! Take a risk and come fight me! I vow not to kill you. A Shinigami who is too scared to seek strength, even in the face of adversity, is not even worth killing!"
Janko stood silently, waiting for John's answer.
