BIJU REGISTRATION
Character Name: Sumire Izumi
Link to Character: customnaruto.proboards.com/thread/2347/sumire-izumi-wip
Bijuu: Saiken/Rokubi
Jinchuuriki Abilities: Enhanced chakra reserves, corrosive techniques, adhesive techniques, Jinchuriki chakra shroud, enhanced durability, enhanced strength, resistance to Suiton, resistance to genjutsu.
Forms:
Version 1/ (Version 2):
Saiken's initial transformed state is a simple enough one, allowing Izumi to maintain a complete sense of awareness and purpose. The initial state grants Izumi a fairly impressive boost to her physical attributes (speed, strength, endurance, healing). With the formation of the Biju chakra shroud on forming the first tail, however, these attributes are only added to as the chakra shroud forms a barrier of sorts around Izumi, further protecting her from most physical forms of attack (although strong enough blows can either punch through the chakra or the force can carry through to Izumi herself). Each successive tail that forms afterwards only further enhances these attributes, and from the second tail onwards Izumi can create powerful shockwaves capable of leveling stone/metal barriers at will. It comes at a cost, however - each of these boosts while in a Version 1 state further weakens the seal containing Saiken, allowing him to further influence his host. Often this comes at the cost of communication and, oddly enough, morality - not nearly as hot blooded as many of the other Biju, Saiken's first and only commitment is to his survival and by extension, that of his host. The more tails that manifest, the more ruthless Izumi becomes, effectively losing her sense of self without Saiken's assistance and becoming little more than a tool for the Biju, an extension of its will. If killing the opponent will ensure survival? Good, and it won't matter who they are or where they came from. Conversely, if sacrificing allies will achieve this same goal, or using an attack without regard for civilians or other collateral damage will as well.... so be it.
Version 2, however, is far, far less subtle. With even the One Tailed form being far and above more powerful than a Six Tailed Version 1 cloak, Version 2 is debatably little more than a miniature of the Biju in question. A bundle of raw emotion and only the most simple of intents, Version 2 has little more than brute force, a malleable body and the Biju's own techniques to call on. Usually, however, that is all it needs - beyond specialized fuinjutsu, a rampaging Jinchuriki in a Version 2 state is able to ignore or shrug off practically all forms of harm, including even powerful S ranked techniques.
Mastery: Branded as a Jinchuriki even before birth, Izumi has dealt with both the best and the worst that comes with the title. On the note of the best, however, the benefits of the position are impossible to deny as without Saiken's influence Izumi would have been born with below average chakra reserves, but with him in the mix that normally exploitable weakness is eliminated entirely by his own massive reserves... at a price. Despite not being as vicious as many of its kin, the Rokubi's grasp on human morality is a dubious one at best. With a distant but amicable relationship with his host due in large part to his own nature, most any action taken while she has lost control effectively ignores the idea of friend and foe, placing her safety and his by extension as their only existing priorities... and should he think it necessary to protect themselves, he will take control if Izumi has borrowed enough chakra from him to allow it.
Following the first and only time this has happened, Izumi has been incredibly reluctant to make use of Saiken. Far more confident in the use of her own abilities, the kunoichi is only comfortable with the idea of using up to the first tail of Version 1 should Saiken explicitly offer the aid, and only if no other options are available. Beyond that Izumi is well aware that the line often blurs concerning who is in control, and while their relationship is amicable enough it isn't something Izumi puts enough stock in to trust the Biju with. At least not enough to be sure that she wouldn't do something she might regret later. Unsurprisingly, however, this is something that she's struggled with all the same - Saiken isn't above manipulation if that's what it takes to get what he wants, and Izumi's own natural aggression and other negative emotions often make resisting the Biju's chakra incredibly difficult at times. Should additional tails start forming during a fight, often times it becomes a choice of whether or not to risk getting carried aware or retreating to regain her composure before losing control.
On a more mundane note, however, Izumi has long since learned how to make use of the more unique properties that Saiken's chakra grants to her own. In addition to being able to grant corrosive or adhesive traits to her chakra at will, Izumi can use a fair number of Saiken's own techniques while in her normal human form.
RP Sample:
It was all bullshit.
Okay, but look. He goes into a footrace and isn't allowed to use it, what then? I'm not saying he isn't fast, but-
You're jealous.
Bite me. Hiraishin's neat and all, but it's a loophole. A cheat. A space time jutsu, not physical movement. There's going to be people out there actually faster than him without what amounts to a Get Out Of Jail Free card.
Today of all days. Generally speaking, Izumi was not a people person. That was something that people in Kiri understood, and thus they tended to fall into one of either two groups. Well, three. The first were people like Haku and her old mentor. Those who understood and accepted her, flaws and all, and they were individuals who were in very short supply. The kind of people who Izumi would willingly go out of her way to spend time around since she didn't have to watch what she said or pretend to be someone else. Then there was the second group - family and other people who got about as much choice in the matter as Izumi herself did. There were often rough patches there, but things generally worked out. And then there was everyone else - people who tended to be offended by Izumi's personal sensibilities or lack thereof, those who her rather blunt attitude just tended to rub the wrong way. That group and her had an unspoken understanding in that regard - she kept her distance from them and didn't create problems, and they returned the favor for her. Everybody wins, and some people got to avoid trips to the emergency room.
And then there was the fourth group that normally didn't factor into everyday life. Only comprised of a single individual, but an individual that was being painfully talkative today as Izumi moved through Kirigakure's streets towards the village gates, long hair coiled around her shoulders and clad in her work attire - a white gi and hakama, katana held by the cloth belt around her waist.
Does it matter how he does it if he gets there before the other person?
Yes. Yes it does when you can only go to locations prepared in advance. It's not going to do anything if- fuck it, no. Why are we even debating this? You don't start these conversations unless you want something, so what is it?
And then there was silence.
....
Saiken, out with it.
Saiken-sama.
Funny. I'm not in the mood for this today, what do you want?
And then this time there was no reply, with seconds dragging on into minutes before a frustrated growl would begin to build in the Jinchuriki's throat. That explained why the Bijuu hadn't yanked her into his mental realm as was typical for most of their conversations - no where for him to run with her right there, but this way he was free to ignore her whenever things didn't go the way he wanted. Although Izumi was still more than unclear about what it had all been about in the first place. He knew better than to ask for anything when she was in a bad mood, and that had been the standard for the day on being yanked out of bed and told to get ready for an incoming delegation. Which was yet another thing that didn't make any sense. Saiken finally speaking directly to her after weeks of silence and not to ask for a favor was strange enough, but politics?
The rumors had been all over the place since Terumi either resigned or disappeared - rank and file like Izumi herself were still being left rather unclear on that point - from her post as Mizukage, and even if certain ones were true it made zero sense for Izumi to be involved in any way. Mizukage aside, the village elders knew her temperament well enough to know that she was far from the best option for meet and greets. Especially ones that were unannounced and left even the village veterans on edge.
Speaking of....
Rounding a corner and finally bringing the village gates into view, Izumi saw the visitors. Unwelcome in the sense that Izumi was not happy about being woken early and thrown at complete strangers because someone up above thought it would be funny, but for the moment the village wasn't turning them away. Izumi was surprised that they had been allowed to get this close to begin with, though. Normally the village's defensive measures would've made the place impossible to find for outsiders even if you knew where you were going, but someone had either shut them down or guided the Hokage and his escort in. That seemed to be about where the courtesy ended, though - Izumi was far from the first one there, with at least two other Chunin standing to bar the path ahead and into the village and several more watching from the gates up above.
Much as Izumi wanted to simply ignore the orders she'd been given and avoid interaction entirely, she was already there. Might as well get it over with. Moving ahead to approach the pair from Konoha, Izumi more than understood the look of surprise from both of the other Chunin she passed.
"Someone thought it would be funny." Izumi muttered, finally coming to a stop a respectable two meters away from the Konoha shinobi.
Huh. Odd - for some reason Izumi would've thought at least the Hokage to be a little taller. Izumi knew she was tall but it felt weird to have at least a centimeter on a person of his reputation.
"Probably safe to say none of us are comfortable with it, let's just get it over with. Been sent with orders to confiscate weapons, particularly any of the Hokage's. You're free to keep one each so long as they're visible and not marked with the Yondaime's ninjutsu." Izumi said, voice level and calm - a personal best for keeping irritation hidden.
She was going to find whoever thought this would be a good joke and kick their teeth in before the day was over.
