Ninja Storm 2003

NAME: Nikki Smith
AGE: 15
GENDER: F
INTERESTS: Surfing, roller blading
DISINTERESTS: none really, shes flexible and flows like water.
PERSONALITY: cool as a stream, but like a river she can have a undercurrent that can surprise people with its ferocity and pull
APPEARANCE: www.deviantart.com/deviation/4…, in blue
WEAPONS: None, however as she improves her ninja art manipulation of water is her talent.
Nikki is the mediator of the group, where as Ethan is strong and reliable, the one you cry one and draw strength from Nikki is the one that you seek for help in making decisions. Her mind flows though the different currents of a option and presents the ones with the best flow. It may not be the wisest path but it always one that is true to a persons nature and devoid of compromises of ones virtues. Nikki has a curious mind which is what eventually draws The Apprentice to her. While her chakra control is the poorest of the 3, her chi flow like a river with to many paths, in Naruto terms for a comparison all 8 of her chi gates are defaulted to open, when she starts off all her chi just sorta bleeds out with the most minimal of use burning out her spiritual energy. Her biggest challenge in mastering her Chi manipulations is closing her rivers and controlling the actual flow of her 'water chi' instead of letting it just spread out un directed.

Interestingly she is the most knowledge, next to Ikki, in the many techniques of the Way of Discipline. She knows numerous, and has master a great many of, basic Discipline techniques such as:
*The Long Jump
*The Spiders Walk (wall/tree walking)
(1)The Eagle's Eye (improves long distance vision like a telescope)
(1)The Precise eye (perceiving small details and with focus actual chi flow in others, she must look at a person directly a mirror or video can not perceptive the chi flow)
Note: Eye techniques can not be invoked at the same time.
(1)The sharpened Ear (enhances hearing)
(2)The Iron Body (toughens the skin)
(2)The Steel Mind (increases one clarity of purposes and resistance to mind control)
(2)The Bronze Fist (enhances strength)
(1)The Swift Breeze (enhances speed and agility)

Some, those marked with a * she can use without any sort of prep time, they are innate. The rest must be invoked, a weakness she has over Ikki who while knowing less Discipline Techniques can use t hem all simultaneously. Nikki can only invoke 3 Points worth of Disciplines at a time  at the start.

Some Techniques of Water she knows but can not evoke at the start are:
Water walking
Luna's Eye (raises and lowers tides/water volumes)
The watery Lung (water breathing)
Fish's Grace (swimming acuity)
Tsunami Wave, Water Tendril, Ball of Water, Ball of Ice, Ice Spear, Ice Daggers, Ice Wall, The Riptide, The Water Dragon, the Water Steed (which can carry others). frosted breath, Healing mist, corrosive mist, Healing Touch.

NAME: Ethan Skemp
AGE: 15
GENDER: M
INTERESTS: Motocross, extreme sports
DISINTERESTS: cooking, swimming, dancing
PERSONALITY: Ethan is strong and stoic. Hes reliable and dependable but has a thrill seeker streak. One the one hand he's there as a reliable and dependable rock to stand on but on the other sides hes as unpredictable as a rock slide, and just as dangerous.
APPEARANCE:  www.deviantart.com/deviation/4… in yellow
WEAPONS: none, like Nikki his skill comes from his earth manipulation techniques to come.
Ethan is the rock, the sturdy and reliable foundation. When the others need someone to rely upon Ethan is there. Unlike Nikki Ethan rarely gives his suggestion and opinion instead he acts as a spring board letting others work out their own problems by bouncing them off his strong and comforting embrace. It would seem strange then that Earth would seek out Water for comfort as water erodes earth however Nikki and Ethan are great friends and complement each other supporting n their own ways the other so that they can in turn support others.

Ethan is focused and serious, the most of the trio when it come to his Chakra training and while he only knows a hand full of techniques she excels at their use. However like all of the 3 he doesn't not have full control at the start of his Chakra. Just as Nikki's Chakra is a undirected surging ocean Ethan's Chakra is blocked up and slow. It takes him twice as long to build and use his chakra and the energy trickles out. Ethan's main hurdle is the smooth out the flow of his chakra reshaping the wall of his chi so that he it flows smoothly instead of down a rocky slow and through sturdy damns.


basic Discipline list:
*The Long Jump
*The Spiders Walk (wall/tree walking)
(1)The Iron Body (toughens the skin)
(3)The Steel Mind (increases one clarity of purposes and resistance to mind control)
(1)The Bronze Fist (enhances strength)

Some, those marked with a * he can use without any sort of prep time, they are innate. The rest must be invoked. Ethan can only invoke 3 Points worth of Disciplines at a time  at the start.

Some Techniques of Earth He can learn eventually:
Ground walking
Quicksand(slicks the ground under opponents causing a sink hole)
The Iron Lung (can breath in the most extreme of places, such as when buried or in space)
Earth's Embrace (he heals as long as his skin can make contact with earth)
Avalanche, Vine Tendril, Ball of Stone, Stone Spear, Stone Daggers, Stone Wall, Quake, The Gorgon's Stare (flesh to stone curse) Jade Dragon, the Stone Ape (which can carry others), Skin of Stone (protects allies)

NAME: Nicole James
AGE: 16
GENDER: F
INTERESTS: Soccer, karate (all kinds)
DISINTERESTS: Japanese television
PERSONALITY: Nicole is the leader, strong, confident, focused. Nicole lifts up all around her like a breath, she is the breath, the air we breath.
APPEARANCE:  www.deviantart.com/deviation/4… in red
WEAPONS: none, like Nikki his skill comes from his air manipulation techniques to come.and later the powers granted by The Fire Lady
Nicole is the leader of the 3, she is gentle and kind like a warm breeze but she can be harsh and biting to her enemies. She loves sports and teaching sports. One of her favorite past times is coaching grade school soccer.

The problem with her Chakra flow is that that its is delicately intertwined with her life force and thus more advanced techniques physically harm her. The trick will be to separate the paths properly so she can use her chi without endangering her life.

basic Discipline list:
*The Long Jump
*The Spiders Walk (wall/tree walking)
(3)The Steel Mind (increases one clarity of purposes and resistance to mind control)

Air Technique List:
*air walking (not flying, she literally walk on air)
(2)The Internal Lung (can breath anywhere, she creates her own air and atmosphere around her.)
(3)Air Shield

Some, those marked with a * she can use without any sort of prep time, they are innate. The rest must be invoked. Nicole can only invoke 3 Points worth of Disciplines at a time  at the start.

Some Techniques of Air she can learn eventually:
Gale Force (a large vicious wind that imped movement)
Jetstream (A blast of air), Binding Winds,  Air Ball, Fire Spear, Cutting Wind Daggers, Air Wall, Fire Wall, Air Dragon, the Inviible Crane (which can carry others), Speed of Thought

The Fire Lady
The fire lady is a alien life form, they don not die normally, as they mature their bodies undergo a transformation where they transcend to a new form. If they die or are killed to soon their bodies explode in a corona of energy that can cover about 3 foot ball fields in diameter. However if they are able to ascend any sentient being who is with them at the epicenter the being inherits the energies of their previous form and the inheritor if a race different from the fire ladies they become as the Phoenix. For when the inheritor dies they goes through their own rebirth. Depending on the past lives of the alien the number of resurrection can vary. With each resurrection though one of the past life energies is "Spent."

If done in the presence of their own kind the energies suffuses the other and can promote the evolution stage of others near their rebirth stage. In their symphony of energy new members are this race are brought to life.

NAME: Way of The Tiger/Connie Hillcrest
AGE: 16
GENDER: F
INTERESTS: sex, shopping, showing off on tv.
DISINTERESTS: any sort of responsibility.
PERSONALITY: Connie learned of the power of academy ninjas and wanted it. She bought her way in but was never really serious about it, always taking the easy way out she had her day use a feline based stimulant drug to enhance her muscles to the point she could excel easily but it had a dark feral side that came out when she was over stresses or exerted turning her into a savage monster. The second treatment make her more cat then girl and she distanced herself from her father and became obsessed with her work. The 3rd upgrade made her more human then before but sill very animal like, she has started to emerge from her shell but still fear the beast just below the surface.
APPEARANCE: www.deviantart.com/deviation/4…
WEAPONS: a Katanna

NAME: Master Genki Hikari
AGE: 42
GENDER: M
The wise and compassionated leader of the academy, a air master, when his old friend returned, now his enemy they clash of their powers trapped him in the body of of the the house mice that scurried about the academy. OF his human body? No one knows.

NAME: Ikki Hikari
AGE: 18
GENDER: Forgot
INTERESTS: computers, studying his father's scrolls
Ikki has lived with his father Genki at the academy all his life but never allowed to train officially, he has trained in secret but without a official sponsor has never been officially promoted out of green. A mix of technology and tradition he has secretly been working on ways to tap the power of the Storm Artifacts.

Way of Thunder, Lightning, and Rain
When the Ronin Air ninja returned to seek his vengeance he first assaulted the Cloud Academy. Seeking to bloat his ranks further he isolated 3 of them most promising students. The ways of Thunder and Lightning were siblings, the way of the Concealing Mist was a friend. Orchestrated a series of events that painted the Storm academy as the destroyers of their family. These 3 had already been granted the mystic artifacts as a sign of their power and potential. Chosen by the Cloud Academy as the "exemplars" or "icons" of The Way. Soon after the Storm Trios return the this Trio, far more skilled and practiced in the took to hunting and defeating the murderous bastards who betrayed them. However should the Cloud Exemplars find out the Truth their would be hell to pay as the Storm and Cloud would then find a common enemy in the warlord who destroyed both their lives.

Way of Power
After its creation by Leona, its redesign by the Army and applyment to Neko's Law and before it was acquired by Connie's father the Feline Muscle Enhancement Formula was acquired by the Cloud academy. They needed a test subject though. They choose Nikki. The results were disappointing, to say the least and so the formula was scrapped. However the one who would be Way of Power studied the formula and having believed she had found a solution she stole it. Unfortunately the betrayal expelled her from the Cloud Ranks. Calling herself Way of power and the formula coursing in her veins she drew on the power of electricity and her rage. Her appearance normally was partially feline but when the energy flows and the adrenaline pumps her body twists and contorts into a truly terrifying visage. Not truly feral as much as caught in the "moment" she becomes a dervish of destruction and power.

The Way of Shadows, Mirror, and Illusion
As selective and hidden as Storm and Thunder are they still do public demonstration and recruitment drives. Only member are shown the way to their hidden academy but all know of their existence. The hidden eye is only know by those who are master of their discipline. The Hidden Eye keeps the dueling schools in check and punishes those who violate the schools tenets. they are the judges and law makers. And when the warlord betrays not just Storm but Cloud, recruiting Cloud and forcing Storms Exemplars to flee to a foreign country to train it is the 3 ways of The Hidden Eye: Shadow, Mirror, and Illusion, who step in to hold the line. They never strike directly but instead hid on the peripherally slowing down any machinations of the warlord.

Shadow Fang (Wolf)
One of 2 Kunai, or Daggers of the Hidden Eye. Genetically born and breed for shadow combat the wolf warrior is a fusion of woman and beast. However Fang despises her role as a puppet of the Shadows and wishes to be free. Unfortunately her mind is condition to follow any order issued by a high rank official.

Fire Fang (Dragon)
The Dragon was transformed by the Spider Symbiont, a mystical artifact that wraps around the arms with think spindly spider like arms and mutates the body into a killing machine. Incapable of human communication and driven by cold blooded desire to hunt, to breed, and to feed the Host is a unwitting pawn of the frontal assault agent of the Hidden Eye.

The Academy of the Desert Wind
Just as Cloud shares Water (and to some degree Air) in the Concealing Mists, and all share the first year way of Discipline, so to do the other academies share one of the prime 3 elements.

Home to the Way of Sand, Desert Wind (Air+earth), and the Way of Oppressive Heat this school focuses on the wearing down of its opponents through sheer continuous erosion and pressure. Like All Academies they have artifacts reserved for their 3 greatest pupils.

The Academy of Frozen Peek
composed of the Snow (who are a subset of the Way of Ice another name for the Way of Water), Bitting Cold (which focus on control their temperature of their environment up or down) and the Slick ground (which focus on keeping their opponents off their feet).

The Academy of the Volcano
Derived from Fire before it was subsumed by air, Volcano students are separated by the Blinding Ash, the Consuming Lava, and Obsidian (which is tough and strong and balances the destructive nature of the Lava)

The Academy of the Quaking Earth
Composed of the Tremor, who keep opponents off their feet by shaking the ground under them. The Splitting image who can cause even the strongest body to fail as its own muscles loose their focus and their energy is dispersed acorss several tasks. And the Oppressive Dark which cloak their enemies in sensory deprivation attacks until they cant tell up from down or how long they have been fighting.

Additionally their is academies in a more international flavor with a focus on the Chinese Zodiac.The ways of the Dog, Pig, Rooster, Dragon, Ox, Sheep, Horse, Rabbit, Snake, Monkey, Rat, and Tiger. Needless to say when Connie starts calling herself "The Way of the Tiger" she draws the ire of the True "Way of the Tiger"

Further more each of the 12 academies have 3 divisions like all the rest "the Eye," "the Fang," and "the Spirit".

Eyes are know for their ability to look inside, to draw out their beast to pierce illusions and see the truth of things. The fang are the warriors, and the Spirit, who are partially feral in action act as the guides and tutors of unlocking ones path to the beast.

West
The Western academies all share their first year evaluation period of the Way of Discipline and their greatest warrior are "Exemplars of the Way." Who use ancient artifacts to transform into a "super-ninja form."

Basic training in Disciplines green teaches a ninja to enhance their bodies, the standard techniques include the Long Jump and wall walking. western Ninjas fortify their bodies with their chakra flow bringing out their greatest potential. As they graduate and take on one of their school's 3 Ways 5% of their chakra is permanently sealed. Even when completely drained of their active chakra this 5% remains enabling the maintain their enhanced body and basic techniques.

Graduates in a Way are unable to perform techniques of another way (with a few exceptions, such as Rain and Water) even if they know the technical details their Chakra is aligned to one way and they can not change they Chakra to use a opposing elemental Chakra.

East
The eastern academies are separated into feudal villages ruled over by a master sensai. Using a standard Grading scale of A-D and F they assign ninja ranks within a series of 3 divisions. (IE a Novice can be Novice Rank A, Novice Rank F, etc). Further more they have entrance exam to earn higher ranks. Some Ninja train for 3 years and are still only a Novice.

Chakra is more free form, as the body isn't focused down one path a East Ninja could learn any number of techniques for several elements, and many do know techniques from 2 or 3 elements.

One advantage East has over West is the ability to to force open the gates they control their chakra flow. The process is dangerous, even lethal but can greatly increase ones active chakra and physical power.

The Exile
When an exiled evil ninja master returns to Earth to take control, he assaults his old academy and kills or captures everyone there. He battles the academy master as well and the explosion of Chakra displaces the Air Master’s Soul into a temple mouse’s body. Three misfit students from the Academy, Nicole, Ethan, and Nikki are held up by a motorist with car trouble and arrive after the great devastation. Iki gets them out of the open and to a hidden bunker where they meet the rat-sensai and are given morphers to avnge the honor of their academy. In their first battle with one of the exile’s monsters they are beaten badly. The 3 boosters they wield can not fall into enemy hands and so he sends them to Japan to finish their training and keep a low profile. They object but he assures them that he has a backup that keep the Exile occupied while they train.

The Stormbringers
The Exile’s daughrters create a monster that can copy anyone, the exile uses it to copy the Exemplar of Water and sends it to assault and destroy the Thunder Acadamy. The exile then tricks the Thunder, Lighting, and Cloud Exemplars that emerge to work for him against the Ninjas of the 3 ways and any that would aid them.

Kunai
As the exile sends down his monsters to search for the Exemplars of the 3 Ways the Thunder Exemplars hang back and wait. However their monster seem to be destroyed mysteriously and silently. The Exile is positive it’s the machinations of the Hidden Eye exemplars but is to busy fighting off frontal assaults by Shadow Fang and Fire Fang to seek out the Hidden Eye. The Thunder Exemplars refuse to fight any other way but their chosen prey.

Undercover Ninja: Water Burns
Hair dyed red/brown Nikki enters the village aspected to fire, the exile would never look for a Water Ninja honing her art in the fire village however Nikki has a secret, she already knows numerous water techniques, but lacks the chakra control to use it effectively. All she needs to learn here is how to properly use her chakra.

The only eatery there is a ramen/noodle shop and to her surprise the village sports a large lake, making her regret not taking a board of some sort for surfing. The Ramen shop doesn’t take American money but she packed enough supplies for a week. She explores the town to get a feel and eventually runs across some ninja training On the lake.
This high ranked ninja give her a crash course in chakra control, and we see her major flaw in life, as her chakra once invoked hemorrhages bleeding out of her in buckets unfocused, her skin infused with water energy her temperature and that around her drops, her skin turns blue and she sweats as if in sweltering heat. However eventually she masters basic control enough to stand on the water.
Later she meets a ninja bound with a wolf spirit, he shows her to the village chief and she introduces herself and officially joins the ranks learning on a exam for novice ninja to be promoted to the next rank in progress and signs up for it. Her American training is a mix and while she’s not truly a second rank equivalent back home she does well enough to make the cut over the next few days.
The wolf also shows her to an inn that takes American money and him looking beat they crash there for the night. In the morning she asks him to show her his wolf transformation a few times and she studies it thoroughly with the Perceptive Eye technique.
To earn spending money she does missions like any other ninja however since she has no team nor any friends to form a team, and their no openings she is sent on low ranking easy missions like deliveries and such. Not exactly a impressive record. After a few days she shows the wolf her new technique, Wolf Skin which lets her transform her body into a wolf, there are draw back, his being a spiritual transformation enabled by his bound 2 tailed wolf spirit he can transform his flesh and clothes and while in human form he has wolf ears, claws, pads, and 2 tails that is his normal look. Nikki can only transform the flesh so her cloths must be shed or shred. He can do it numerous times though if he does it to many times in a short time he can get stuck temporarily between forms as he learned showing off for her at the inn. She can do it 3 times a day, assuming her chakra is high enough, wolf-human-wolf so she may end up stuck as a wolf for a day if she is not carful. Also when changing back to a human she carries artifacts of the wolf form for a few hours, namely 2 tails, padding, claws and ears.
Sometime later, while exploring the surrounding areas she finds herself in the village of water, she makes some more friends, she moves on and meets some ninja in the snow village, she tells her story after hearing troubling stories from them. One of her new friends is a powerful legendary warrior of snow, he and his friends agree to fight her enemy for her, believes the burden she bares to much for one so young in the arts. Against her better judgement she partially invokes the artifact drawing the exile’s gaze to the East, he sends down a Rage Oni, the gorilla like creature is then destroyed by the elite ninja, and like in the past goes up like a roman candle. Nikki panics, shifts to wolf, shreds her clothes but is protected by her friends by an energy field. But now the enemy is looking for her. She begins to train intensivly.

Undercover Ninja: Earth Sinks
Ethan enters the sand village very differently then Nikki entered fire, where as Nikki entered in her ninja uniform and tried to intergrate herself with the locals Ethan roared in on his motor bike dressed as a civilian, taking to the brash American sterotype he joins their academy but as a faceless grunt, one of hundreds all dressed the same, the lowest ranked and least respected of the ninja. To be able to truly become unique and favored he will have to prove himself while endureing the most degrading jobs ever. Just as he wanted, now a faceless ninja he need only be carful of his English accent to stay hidden while learning the ways of sand and earth to improve his chakra control. Where as Nikki finds many with pasts like hers in the war torn ninja territories and subsequently becomes more open with her past as she is cover by a dosen other exiles and last survivors of unknown villages Ethan vanishes from the radar. However when the monsters begin to look for them he leaps into action and spurs sand to defeat the vile oni rousing the entire ninja academy into a war on the exile’s demons.
Slowly though use and some sand training Ethan smoothes out his chakra paths, a fitting way for Earth to gain its power through slow and continual erosion of the chakra current through its channels over months.

Undercover Ninja: Air Sings
Nicole with blond dyed hair makes her way to the village of sound. She already has decent chakra control but is unable to use it due to its close ties to her lifestream. Therefore she is not looking for chakra training but a healer, a spiritual healer who can untangle the two streams. She disguises herself as a civilian, and choose sound because she could get into the academy village under the premise of getting singing lessons from the ninja who have turned song into a weapon.
She manages to gather some info while keeping a low profile and eventually hears about a sage, a wise old elite ninja coming down from the mountains to visit the hot springs in and around the fire village.
She catches the sage, a perverted man in his 50’s who is none he less spry and powerful peeping on some local girls playing in the lake and enjoying the water. The particular waterfall spring a popular beach like hangout. Not one to just let a peeper get away scot-free she confronts him and is unable to even touch him, he on the other hand manages to througlly embarase her. With bluster and bravado the sage introduces himself. Nicole swallows her pride and puts on a defeated and demure act and tries to get further confermation to his skill “Tehehe you can’t really be him? Can you?”
After some impressive displays she has no more question to the sage’s skill and pours on the sugar to exploit his weakness for a pretty face.

“Tehehe, you are him! Oh great sage, do you think.” She flusters, aabsently chewing on the end of her hair as she digs her toes in the sand. “Can you take a look at my chakra, I’m afraid their something wrong with it.”

Unfortunatly this mean striping down to her bra and panties, the sage, pervert he is spends several minutes just oogleing her and several times she has to swat away busy hands before he gives her a string answer.

“I’ve never seen anything like this, your chaka and life force are so tightly intwinned their almost indistinguishable.”

“Oh great sage,” she giggles “Can you do anything about it.”

He can but it takes time, time he often spends ogling and fondeeing her. Near the end of his treatment he offers to teach her some techniques/jutsu, to lengthen the time he gets to ogle her no doubt. She agrees knowing it is more to please his libido then train a student, still, you don’t turn down a sage willing to train you.
When not with the pervy sage she begins to make allies with the some other ninja and the monsters begin to patrol. While trying to battle a monster on her own, Nicole learns that she has to trust her teammates and rely on their help, including the pervy sage.
Once her life stream is separated however she looses a great deal of her active chakra (im thinking 20-45% effectively sealing 25% to 50%) This enables her make her displine techniques like Iron Body much stronger then any of the others, including Ikki from the large about of bound chakra in her body. (Ikki of couse still beats everyone in the long run as he can pump chakra into discipline techniques since he has no elemental ninjutzu.)
Nicole learns and masters many air, fire, summoning, illusion, and transformation jutsu from the sage, some more cosmetic then actually useful like “Nekomimi form” which turns her into a catgirl with hightened hearing and a prehensile tail but increases her bust size. Several of the jutsu also involve highten libido caused by a seal the sage places on her, he claims was part of the separation of chakra and lifestream.
Interestingly even with her going into heat/estrus and being rutted by the old man she never gets pregnant. The jutsu that hightens her libido also dulls her menstruation cycle (no periods!) before they part company however he teaches her a jutsu that will let her have kids when she chooses.

Ikki uses the samurai artifact and takes Nicole back in time to find the Fire Morpher.
They learn the fate in the past, the fire morpher was merged with the air morpher just as schools were merged. When Ikki recounts his story of Nicole being a Exemplar whos morpher was destroyed they are told the first morphers were not made but willed into existence, the power exists inside each exemplar, the morpher just enables them to tap it when they are un sure or not powerful enough to do it themselves, or can’t spare the energy.
They jump back even further, to the creation of the first morphers and get training from the original masters, As this is when Fire and Air are separate when Nicole is trained by the air master and fire master she produces 2 morphers, one of fire, one of air. This of course is a problem until the Fire Lady appears, this of course surprises everyone. The dragon speaks old memories.

“In ages to come we two will become one.”
