Okay, sorry, is not done all the way yet. But who gives a Badonkadonk? *giggles* Totally can't believe you're using that for the clear word; but totally loving it!

Name: Mikoto Hikari
Age: 16
Home Nation: Land of Wind
Jinchuuriki: Shakaku
Personality: Mikoto is a happy, upbeat sort of girl. Though she isn't the kind to be optimistic to the point of foolishness, she does try her hardest to see the silver lining of any cloud. Ready to give the benefit of the doubt, she can see the good in those that most would describe as failures. But don't be mistaken; she is an excellent judge of character. If someone doesn't seem on the level, nine times out of ten, she can call them out.
Able to have a quick silver temper on her, Mikoto can turn instantly hostile if the situation is dire. Those use to her cheerful side are usually shocked to see that she can become so aggressive. She seems to have a child like innocence about her at times, owing to the fact that she sometimes misses something in a conversation and she can become sidetracked. Other times though, she can have such clear insight into things that seem confusing for others.
Appearance: Mikoto is definitely what you would call a 'natural' beauty. Glowing with a healthy tan earned from her hours under the desert sun, her bright, emerald green eyes behind their dark, sooty lashes sparkle constantly with laughter. Her eyes seem to be surrounded by a thick line of black kohl, but that’s not the case; it’s Shakaku’s mark; it’s been the same for generations. She has an attractive, oval shaped face, finely arched eyebrows, a slim, pert nose and soft, full lips. Her hair falls in a curtain of fiery locks to her mid-back when she doesn't have it braided; her bangs hang to just above her eyes.
Slim, Mikoto's 5'8" body structure gives absolutely no hint as to her strength. When she's kicking back and relaxing, her favorite thing to wear is an over-sized, dark sweater and her favorite, beat-up old blue jeans. But when she's training or on a mission, she wears a soft, comfortable dress in hunter green with a pair of close fitting black shorts. She keeps her daggers and other items in a pouch located on her left hip, and she carries a gourd filled with chakra enhanced sand on her back. She always wear thin, fingerless fishnet gloves that go about half way down her upper arm and a pair of small, gold hoop earrings. She tries to say that she isn't a great beauty; but there's a gentle, relaxed beauty about her that is not at all artificial.
Weapon:
Kunai Knives: The basic ninja tool for all shinobi, mostly introduced to young Genin. A sharp dagger like weapon to carve up enemies and opponents.
Quad Shuriken: A massive sized shuriken about ten times bigger than a normal shuriken. Its pretty basic except for adapting to the weight of the shuriken to be thrown rapidly as it slices the air when thrown.
Shuriken and Wire: One of the starter ninja tools used in various combinations. Shuriken are the equivalent of darts to be thrown can more or less immobilize an opponent temporarily. With the wire attached it can pin an opponent to a tree or rock and launch a jutsu to follow.
Sand Gourd: While the gourd itself might not be a weapon, the sand inside it certainly is. While she's able to control just about any sand because of her heritage, her control over the gourd sand is the strongest. Enhanced with her own chakra, she doesn't even need to use the normal hand signs to mold it; just a small push with her will can cause a wall of sand to form around her, make an enemy absolutely helpless, or, her personal favorite, to shut people up by gagging them.
Chakra Nature: Earth/Wind/???
Techniques/Skills: TBE
Jutsu:
Sand Shield: A large amount of sand, stored within the gourd, will automatically move and protect Mikoto from any harm by becoming a solid wall. Mikoto is unable to control this reaction, and the sand has a hard time keeping up with faster enemies. This isn't Mikoto's absolute defense and can still be overcome with brute force.
Sand Coffin: This jutsu is used sand to wrap around the victim's body and render them immobile. It can also kill the person by suffocation.
Sand Muffle: One of Mikoto's personal favorites and one that she invented herself, it's not exactly what one would call a combat jutsu. As the name of the jutsu might suggest, Mikoto uses a small amount of sand to gag a person that she finds annoying. Everybody seems to get a major laugh out of it.
Desert Unity: A rather tricky jutsu, Mikoto is still working on refining it. Used mostly as a stealth technique, Mikoto is actually able to melt her body into a large amount of sand; in this form, she is able to travel vast distances quite quickly. Occasionally, she might use it as on offensive attack; but she mostly uses it for recon.

Name: Tora Tsubasa Hyuuga
Age: 20
Home Nation: Land of Fire
Personality:
Appearance: Just like the feline that she is named for, Tora has a mystical, feral and dangerous beauty about her. When in her human form, her long blue-black hair drapes around her pale, heart-shaped faced; her bangs end just above her eyebrows. Her almond shaped eyes hold a feline-like slant to them from nearly thirteen years of being a tiger almost constantly. Her pale white eyes could give even the bravest person a chill unless they were accustomed to that spectral gaze. Her bright, smiling lips are a rose red hue.
Slender, Tora stands at 5' 11" inches tall. When in her human form, she usually wears a practical red and white, loose fitting, sleeveless kimono that ends just above her knees. She keeps a pouch for her knives and throwing stars on her left thigh; she has a tattoo of a tiger rearing on it's hind legs on her back.
In her tiger form, Tora represents a true spectacle of beauty, if not instilling a small amount of fear in another's heart. Standing three feet tall at the shoulder, the almost seven foot long tigress is a truly amazing specimen. Her colors inverted, her base coat is coal black, dark as midnight; while broken stripes of purest white cover her body like snow. But as always, her eyes are still the same, spectral, pale color. All in all, she represents a most fearsome specimen of the tiger family; though she's also possibly the most beautiful of them all.
Weapon (Human):
Bow and Arrows: A less heard of weapon for a ninja, Tora is quite a good shot. Having a slight advantage being an archer, she can take down at least half a squad before anyone realizes what's happening.
Kunai Knives: The basic ninja tool for all shinobi, mostly introduced to young Genin. A sharp dagger like weapon to carve up enemies and opponents. Tora is particularly good with them; after all, the knives aren't that far off from her claws in tiger form.
Quad Shuriken: A massive sized shuriken about ten times bigger than a normal shuriken. Its pretty basic except for adapting to the weight of the shuriken to be thrown rapidly as it slices the air when thrown.
Kokoro Ongaku (Heart Melody): A finely worked katana, Tora wields it with a practiced ease. She usually doesn't bring it out; after all, she hates to soil such a fine weapon. But when her back's against the wall, and she has no other option, she works the blade with such an intensity that she's hard to match.
(Tiger)
Tiger claws: Tora keeps these 1 3/4" inch daggers honed to a fine, sharp edge. Enhanced with chakra, she does more then scratch; she'll leave a giant hole. She's able to use her paws almost like hands; coupled with the Byakugan, her claws are just as deadly as her hands or kunai knives.
Fangs: Though she doesn't particularly like the taste of blood, she will go for the jugular if backed into a corner. Extremely sharp, her teeth could slice through just about anything.
Chakra Nature: Water/Wind
Techniques/Skills: TBE
Jutsu: TBE
Kekkai Genkai:
Byakugan: The Byakugan, literally White Eyes, (or Evil Eye as it is known in the English translations) is a very special condition of the eye that occurs naturally in all members of the Hyuuga clan. While it is believed that the Byakugan is genetically related to the Uchiha clan Sharingan, it is capable of many things the Sharingan is not and as Hatake Kakashi states, in terms of insight the Byakugan surpasses even his own Sharingan.
Used mainly as a taijutsu technique, the Byakugan gives it's user many great abilities including the ability to have a 360 degree field of vision, except for one tiny blind spot behind the first thoracic vertebra, this tiny spot is the only known weakness of this special ability. With the Byakugan activated it's user has the ability to detect anything that moves around them in a 50 foot radius, making the Byakugan a difficult task to fight against.
When used with chakra the Byakugan becomes more powerful and can see through most solid matter over extremely long distances and allows it's user to see the inner coil system of the enemy, opening them to an attack on their tenketsu (Chakra Holes) by the hand of the juken (Gentle Fist). Only very advanced users of the Byakugan such as Hyuuga Neji can use the aforementioned juken technique, but when used successfully it can shut off the chakra flow of the opponent which has disasterous effects.
Kekkai Genkai Jutsu:
Eight Trigrams Empty Palm: This jutsu is similar in practice to Eight Trigrams Palms Heavenly Spin, but has a specific target rather than a general area. To perform it, the user does a palm thrust at an opponent while expelling a large burst of chakra from their palm. This violently pushes the opponent away. The opponent does not need to be within reach of the user for the attack to be effective.
Eight Trigrams Palms Heavenly Spin: This jutsu utilizes the chakra control gained through Gentle Fist training to release a huge amount of chakra from the user's chakra points when struck. The released chakra blocks any possible attack. The user then spins themselves rapidly to parry the attack, both creating a shield of chakra around themselves and tossing away any would-be attackers.
Eight Trigrams Palms Great Heavenly Spin: This jutsu is simply a larger and more powerful version of the Eight Trigrams Palms Heavenly Spin.
Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms: This jutsu closes off sixty-four specific chakra points (tenketsu) on an opponent's body with the Gentle Fist style, effectively eliminating their ability to use chakra for quite some time and making it quite difficult for them to move. It begins with the closing of two chakra points, followed by four more, then eight, then sixteen, then thirty-two, and then sixty-four strikes. Each set of strikes is done at an increasing pace.
Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms: This jutsu is essentially a doubled version of Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms. Like the former, it closes off the opponent's chakra points in an exponentially increasing number of quick successive strikes. Unlike the former, it closes off twice as many (128) at twice the speed. Alternatively, it can be used to hit a great number of targets very quickly. It has a slightly different stance than the lesser form in which the upper body is slightly rotated to the right. This stance activates the characters at the edge of the divination field, beginning the technique.
Eight Trigrams Three-Hundred-Sixty-One Style: This jutsu is considered the most powerful technique within the Hyuuga clan, and is generally used as a last resort. When using this technique, the speed of the user is comparable to that of the Reverse Lotus. This jutsu allows the user to strike all 361 chakra points of the opponent, paralyzing them with each blow and instantly killing them upon the final hit.
Gentle Fist: The Gentle Fist style of combat aims to damage the body's chakra circulatory system, thus inhibiting an opponent's use of chakra. To do this, the user will forcefully insert a small amount of their own chakra into an opponent's chakra circulatory system, causing the targeted area to rupture or divert flow. Alternatively, or as an added bonus, the same method can be used to damage the opponent's internal organs, to which the chakra circulatory system is closely tied. Even the slightest tap from this style can cause major damage, hence the name. Because the chakra circulatory system is invisible, the Byakugan is required for this style to be used effectively. Because there is no way to train the internal organs against injury, this technique is capable of causing damage no matter how physically powerful the opponent.
Protection of the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms: The user can emit constant beams of chakra from their hands or shoot short streams, and hit even a large amount of very small targets with extremely high speed and precision, akin to Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms (but obviously with longer range). With enough skill at destroying incoming threats, or alternatively sufficient power, speed and flexibility put into a large amount of arc-shaped beams, it is also possible to create an "absolute defense" effect similar to that of Heavenly Spin.
Other: Somewhere along the way, Tora picked up a small, white tiger cub that she calls Fangkit. Extremely intelligent and inquisitive, Fangkit will get herself into all sorts of trouble that she can't get out of; and that Tora usually has to rescue her from. There are some of Tora's jutsu's that she executes in unison with the young cub.
The blind spot for the Byakugan changes when Tora is in her tiger form. Instead of one spot on her neck, it's a small area at the base of her tail. But because of Fangkit, it's still difficult to catch Tora off guard.

Name: Rosalind Uchiha
Nickname: Rose
Age: 18
Home Nation: Land of Fire
Personality: Rose could make the perfect assassin from the way she is perceived to act. Stoic, cold and calculating, she usually doesn't say much, but she misses just about nothing in her observations, and can tell a person's personality, strengths and weaknesses almost instantly, and rarely is she wrong. But what people don't understand is the hurt young woman hidden behind this icy exterior. Her pride and confidence injured by a brutal blow years ago, she has sealed off her romantic side and all the softer emotions from everyone, believing that if she can't feel, then she can't be hurt.
If there's one thing that never fails Rose, it's her strong sense of justice. She has zero tolerance for wrong doing, often making her hot-headed and rash if she believes something’s not right. At the same time, she can also be cool headed and tactical. She doesn't really care for fighting; she'd rather try to talk out a problem instead of resorting to jutsu. But if there's no other option available, you'll find that she's quite fierce and passionate in battle. Rose is very secretive and suspicious; it takes forever to gain her trust and a mere instant to shatter it.
Appearance: Rose is a rather pretty girl. Her long, midnight black hair falls down to her waist; she usually wears it tied back in a ponytail for practical purposes. Her face in finely boned; but her features hold such a strong will in them that you would be a fool to think of her as delicate. She has pale skin and full, blood red lips. But her best features are her eyes. They are a bright, crystal clear black the exact color of onyx with a faint trace of dark amethyst near the pupils, with a feline-like slant to them that gives her a very seductive look. Surrounded by long, sooty lashes, her eyes appear to glow even brighter. But lately, because of the large amount of stress that the curse is putting on her body, faint red marks have appeared at the outer, upper corner of both eyes; they streak down to just below her bottom eyelid.
5' 10", Rose doesn't have a single ounce of fat on her; and while she isn't muscular, she is well built. She wears a sleeveless, black dress that goes just past her knees in back and ends at her upper thigh in front. She's wrapped what looks like bandages around her waist; she wears black wrist guards with the same bandage like materials at her wrists. She keeps a pouch for her kunai and other weapons on her right leg. The bandages extend up to and wrap around her throat; her only jewelry is a locket that her mother gave her.
Usually her dress covers it, but Rose has what appears to be a tattoo of a large, almost red-black rose in full bloom on her right shoulder. If you were to count the petals on this rose, you would find, at the most, three hundred and three petals; and yet, if you would count the petals the next day, you would find only three hundred and two. Why, do you ask? Read below, and you'll find out.
(Okay, I've got one more picture. This is supposed to be a close up of Rose's face when she's using her Sharingan.)
Weapon:
Kunai Knives: The basic ninja tool for all shinobi, mostly introduced to young Genin. A sharp dagger like weapon to carve up enemies and opponents.
Demon Wind Shuriken: A shuriken shaped into the form of a windmill, excellent for cutting through the air and through enemies. Its rotation is what makes it such an impressive ninja tool.
Quad Shuriken: A massive sized shuriken about ten times bigger than a normal shuriken. Its pretty basic except for adapting to the weight of the shuriken to be thrown rapidly as it slices the air when thrown.
Shuriken and Wire: One of the starter ninja tools used in various combinations. Shuriken are the equivalent of darts to be thrown can more or less immobilize an opponent temporarily. With the wire attached it can pin an opponent to a tree or rock and launch a jutsu to follow.
Kurai Kumori Uta (Dark Lullaby): A specially worked blade, this katana is attuned to Rose's chakra make-up and can be wielded only by her. A small ruby set into the hilt, it seems to enhance her fire jutsu.
Chakra Nature: Fire/Lightning
Techniques/Skills: TBE
Jutsu:
Chidori: A secret move for assassination purposes. Its secret lies in the speed of the thrust, and the activation of the body to generate a large amount of Chakra. She then concentrates that large amount into the thrusting arm and rushes towards the opponent. This ability causes the body to speed up, and therefore making the attack more deadly. It emits a distinct chirping sound similar to a thousand birds chirping. Since straight movement is easily countered by the opponent, it's used in combination with the Sharingan.
Fire Dragon Flame Blast: A jutsu that sends a stream of fire towards the opponent, in the shape of a large dragon, from the users mouth.
Rise of the Phoenix Technique: A technique that Rose developed, it is a more powerful form of the Dragon Fire technique. Rose is able to summon a large amount of fire in the shape of a phoenix that she is able to direct and lasts for a long time. A work in progress, it uses up a large amount of chakra, even for her.
Shadow Clone: Unlike the regular clones, Shadow Clones fight back. It's not just an illusion, it creates real clones. The power and chakra of the user is evenly divided among the clones depending on how many there are. This makes it impossible to decipher which is the real body. If a clone receives a direct hit, the clone will disappear. This is treated as a forbidden jutsu but many advanced shinobi still know and use it. It is mainly a jounin level technique.
Shadow Leaf Dance: A technique that first sends the opponent airborne while the user attaches to the opponent's shadow, leaving the opponent vulnerable to stronger attacks.
Lion Combo: A series of powerful punches and kicks, finished by knocking the opponent into the ground. Created after Sasuke witnessed Rock Lee's Initial Lotus with his Sharingan.
Kekkai Genkai:
Sharingan: The Sharingan is a special type of pupil condition that naturally occurs in all members of the Uchiha clan, though not all of them gain the ability to use it. Itachi hints at some dark ultimate purpose behind the Sharingan, which both he and Sasuke apparently know, but the series has yet to reveal exactly what that purpose is. The Sharingan is thought to be descended from the Byakugan, but grants the user different abilities and a different insight.
The Sharingan's first and most well known ability is to memorize any technique that it witnesses. It can memorize ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu with perfect accuracy, allowing the user to use the techniques as his own. In order to reproduce copied jutsu, however, one must have the necessary skill or ability to perform them. In addition to physical skill, the Sharingan cannot allow the user to reproduce other kekkei genkai since the Sharingan user doesn't possess the same genetic trait. Additionally, Sharingan users cannot summon a creature which they have not made a contract with.
The Sharingan also grants the user incredible clarity of perception, allowing them to track fast-moving objects with ease and even predict the subsequent movements of those objects. The ability to track and predict movement is largely based on individual skill, as unskilled users have much more trouble tracking fast-moving objects. A fully-evolved Sharingan eye can track all but the quickest opponents, even if the user can't move at the same speed. This perception is also great enough to see through genjutsu, depending upon the skill of the user, and the ability to observe the movement and flow of chakra, but not to the same extent or clarity as the Byakugan. Additionally, the Sharingan grants the user exceptional analytical powers, allowing them to instinctively pick up on various visual clues with little difficulty.
Finally, the Sharingan is capable of a unique brand of hypnosis that involves suggesting actions and thoughts to the opponent. When used in conjunction with the aforementioned aspects of the Sharingan, this allows the user to perfectly mimic every move their opponent makes, even before they do, making it appear as if the user can see the future. It also allows for other forms of hypnotism, such as putting an opponent to sleep or relaying memories to someone else.
The Sharingan does not automatically appear from birth in a user; instead, it will usually appear when the user is in a life-threatening situation, where the power of the Sharingan could save the user. After this first appearance, the user can then call up the Sharingan any time he or she pleases. The power of the Sharingan is judged through the number of tomoe in the eye, known as the "tomoe seal". It is not unheard of for a Sharingan user to have different amounts of tomoe in each eye. A fully-matured Sharingan has three tomoe in each eye. *Rose has two in her left eye and three in her right*
Forbidden Jutsu:
Curse of the Death Rose: This curse mark appeared on Rose's right shoulderblade as a rose bud; then appeared as a rose in full bloom when she turned eighteen. While it enhances her eyesight, speed and physical strength, and lowers her chakra costs, it slowly drains away her life energy. Marked with three hundred sixty-five petals when it first bloomed, the curse seal loses a petal for every day that passes; to sum it up, when the last petal falls, Rose dies.
Shadow Style: Curse of the Rose Seal Activate: Used only in the tightest of situations, Rose is able to unlock the Curse Mark's power further, increasing her stamina, speed and strength to unatural levels and even granting her the ability of flight for a short period of time. However, it depleats her chakra to absolute zero, leaving her wide-open and vunerable to attack. Because of the special nature of the mark, it takes several days for her chakra to fully recharge; and even then, she loses a certain amount of it to the curse. The technique has an even more sever drawback to it: it causes two petals to dissapear instead of one; cutting Rose's life even shorter

Okay, I've got family over for New Year's and they've caused my Muse to run away in terror. But I figured I'd better get what I've got done to avoid any unforeseen, "catastrophic" crash that would make me lose everything and go postal. That, and I didn't want to make you think I'd changed my mind and give someone else my spots. ;p I'll get the rest edited in a day or two.
