It is said that Raiden was the very first man capable of manipulating chakra and bending the life force energy to his will, achieving the miraculous feats that he achieved during his lifetime before taking his position as king of the gods.
The story tells of a child in the plains of a land, now known as Lightning Country, who was born with a strange sense of self. He had the intelligence of an adult and didn't care to play like other children. Instead it seemed as though he was born with the attitude and demeanor that he would have for his life. At age five it is said that he took control of the skies, the small farm of his family never going without water, even when everywhere else claimed drought, never needing sun, while others were flooded.
Barely aged ten he is said to have left his family, telling them that he had great things to do, that he had other family to find, to help those family find themselves. And so the great stories began, and Raiden walked the world finding clans and bestowing upon them blessings which would later become known as bloodlines. He brought out the potential in all he met, those who he called family.
The front field of the academy is all set up and ready for members of the academy and recent graduates to take part in showing off the various results of their studies leading up to this day. Having been given time to prepare an original jutsu of their very own, the field was set up for anything and everything. Who knew what the mind of Kumogakure's youth would come up with.
Solid sand fighting grounds had been made free so that the more destructive jutsu could be shown off there, while a grassy area with various forms of shelter was there so that people could move between the different displays of technique. The canopies were all about the same size, but varied in colour and occupant. Mixed in among them were different food and beverage providers.
The day was clear with blue skies possibly attributable to the Santaru clan whose control over the weather was sometimes used to make sure that events like this went down without a hitch. Lots of people would be wandering through the area, both non-shinobi citizens of Kumogakure as well as seasoned veterans there to witness what the future of the village had to offer.
- To take part in this event you need to do one of two things.
Option 1: Create a CRPJ according to the CRPJ rules.
Option 2: Reflavour a jutsu your character currently has access to.
Try and be as creative as you can with what you're doing, and remember that this event will go through to the 1st of November. Voting will begin on the 1st of October, so you have plenty of time to come up with a good CRPJ and get it through Council before the polls open.
- Any entries are encouraged to roleplay showing off their CRPJ. There will be a first, second and third place. The prize for all first, second and third will be allowed to have a day IC (or a roleplay) with the Raikage or any Sennin of their choice to learn whatever they want to learn, the position just means the order of who chooses first.
- The main thread is for people to post up displaying their CRPJ however they would like to do so, however please feel free to use this setting in other roleplays which might be posted in the Academy for the duration of the event.
