Personality: Toph is very stubborn and very outspoken. If something seems borin and,or stupoid, she will be the first to speak up and say so. She I blind, however her sight and reflexes are beyond superb due to her sonar skills that lay within her headnabd. She has a very tomboyish attitude about her and her small stature makes her an adequate opponent of speed and power. She is also very aggrivated at people who like to constitue riddles everywhere for her mind can grasp the knowledge, but she wouldn't rather mentally work out a plan to solve it as much as she would rather beat information out of someone. She can be very brutal at her judgements to others as well.

Likes: Toph likes to kick stuff around physically, and beat on solid objects as much as she can to toughen her already iron-hide exterior. She loves to fight, and is constantly picking them with whomever would give her the wrong tone of voice. She likes being blind because it gives her more of an advantage over others than they would think, due to hr hightened sense reflex, and her sensory headband. She loves getting dirty. Anything that is physically draining and often looked at as greuling work is definately her cup of tea.

Dislikes: Toph hates being called blindey, but due to her impairment, there isn't much she can do about it, aside from knocking heads around. When people tend to speak in ominous ways like they are full of wisdom can really cheese her off. She hates having to useher brain more than she already does, because she has better things to focus on other than some hocus pocus baloney that somebody continuously drones on about. It's also weird that she despises doing anything considered girly. She hates makeovers, brunches, tea wth scones, and any other thing that girls seem to do, hoever if the occassion cals for it, sh will be forcedinto these situations, and when she does, she is the belle of the ball.

Motivation: Her motivation is a driving hunger force that makes her always want to help her older cousin. Although it's not really needed, she feels that he needs her as much as she needs him, so she is always either by his side or watching from a distance. Although she apparently has the royal kage blood in her, she makes that no reason why she should be special, just should be looked at as overly helpful.

Fears: Toph fears that one day her sight will come upon her, and distort her view of the world as she sees it. She knows that there are monsterous human beings out there, but since she only sees culored forms and rarely definition, she can pay no nevermind to what is layed before her. It's amazing what the mind can mask up as you kill someone or something, but your eyesight won't give definition to it. It gives you a peace of mind you couldn't believe.




Kinzoku

Bloodline: Kinzoku Kogei
Bloodline Ability: Kinzoku kogei grants several abilities to select members of the clan. Firstly the only members of the clan able to use these abilities must first be of at least age fifteen and been pierce through the heart by a piece of steel without knowing that he is activating his powers, thus the secret of how the powers are activate are well kept from everyone and talking about it is a high crime like treason against the clan as a whole. Those who are lucky enough to gain access to the powers of his clan’s bloodline are granted the following powers.

~Steel Skin: Taijutsu used by people of their own rank are only half as effective, physical blows used by those at least two ranks below them are completely nullified. This however is not effective against weapons for an unknown reason.

~Metal Craft: Members are able to bend metal up to the strength of steel with ease; this is not a showing of strength however but instead a subconscious restructuring of the items molecular structure. This also allows them access to the metal nature of chakra.

~Lightning Rod: The bits of the anatomy which are extremely similar to metal granted by Kinzoku kogei grant a higher affinity for raiton jutsu. This allows them more power for jutsu of those elements so that the power of raiton techniques are treated like they were one rank higher as well as the ability to be struck by natural lightning and shove the energy into the ground where it is nullified (note: This ability is not able to nullify lightning chakra and is only able to be used by A-rank and higher clan members).

Location: Arashigakure
Clan History: Early on in the history of the ninja world the Kinzoku clan was a feared force among the ranks even before a village structure was established. The clan leader Hagane Kinzoku was a man of military mindset and craved a large amount of power, so when messengers from the land’s government came to him about combining all the local clan’s into one to create one of the first village’s similar to the one being put together in the far south, he agreed quickly since he knew that even his powerful clan would not stand a chance against multiple powerful families in an alliance. Along with a handful of other shinobi clans in the land the village of Arashigakure was formed and Hagane’s lust for power increased even more to the point where he was willing to kill for it. Going against the wishes of his clan’s members Hagane pushed further and further toward village leadership and to overthrow the first village leader. In the end he snuck into the kage’s residence at night and instead of empty corridors and a sleeping ninja he was greeted with angry members of the Kinzoku clan.

Feeling betrayed Hagane fought his fellow clansmen brutally, killing nearly half of the clan before he was finally struck down by his own fifteen year old son with a steel spear through the skull. Since then the Kinzoku clan’s actions that day have been viewed as a great service to the village and as such have been looked at as trustworthy shinobi who will forever remain loyal to Arashigakure.




History: At birth, Toph was born into the Kinzoku clan under her father, the uncle of Takeshi Kinzoku. She as 6lbs and 2 oz with eyesas pale as the lights that shone in them. Her parents were almost outraged at the thought of this, but figured that they could work around the issue of her being legally blind, afterall the doctor had said the blindness might be teporary, but as time grew on them within three years, it was apparent that it wouldn't be. As a toddler Toph showed a lot of anger towards other babies, mainly because she couldn't see them and figured them to all be in her way. So as she moved about the playground, anything that came into her path she attacked. It was out of pure instinct no doubt, but it never justiied her reasons for doing it, or so othr parents thought. As she began to argumentively fight with whaevr came into her path, she also ended up on the brunt force of a lot of damage. Her body however had been designed to be her strong point, her homing beacon, so it took in effect of al the damage, and built up a constant resistance. This was her bodies way of improving itsef since it failed her sight. The brain assimilated that it would constantly be in danger, so it made the body constantly on guard. This gave her the ability to punch dents into trees and crack pure concrete at age 6. When she was age 7 she could kick, punch, elbow, or ram through most woods, stones, and soft metals without a scratch on her due to her body's defesive build. Her parents had decided to enroll her into the ninja academy during this time, but not after presenting her with a mysterious headband. Once she put it on, it emitted asonar like structure at the rate of .13 sec, however it only showed her basic shapes in a green color hue. She could tell depth, but there was no definition to anything that she could see, so faces seemed like ovals with no features, and trees were basically trangles with occasional smaller triangles coming from them. She was greatful for this little gift of sight, and she used it throughout hr conquest as a student in the academy. Since her sight failed her, she couldn't efectively master the dsguise jutsu so she was given a pardon. When she left h acadey, she had been introduced to her cousin, the curent kage, Takeshi Kinzoku. He had promised her parents that he would teach her everything there was to know about the clan, and he would keep hr safer than a locked up money vault. She was a bit unfamiliar with her cousin, so she didn't know how to live around him at first, but when he started training her and teaching her what she can do, she began to ease up to him, and now they constantly play practical jokes on one another. Hers are more painful than th ones he bestows, because she has good reason to mess with his personal life, while he can rag on her about her sight. It allows him to do things unnoticed like put tacs in her chair or itch powder on her clohes, or even stain her outfit to where everyone else laughs at her. He decided that at age 13, he wanted to do something special for her, so he took her headband and entrusted another form of sensory in it that allowed her to see definitions of items every 2 seconds. It almost put an end to his joke stream, but Toph still lts him get away with a few things.

RP Sample: Toph had been planning this for months now as a snicker came across her lips. She held the robe around her body and listened intently on the front door. Her couin had gone out for a post slaughter drink, and it gave Toph time to do something so embarrassing to him, for she knew he would bring home some floozy that was ready for some bed action. Since he decided to place oatmeal on the door to her room the other night, she was going to pay him back big time. As the footsteps got closer to the door, she took her place behind the counter, it kept tickling her mind to think of this. It was going to be fantastic. As she heard the door open, she heard the sounds of two women laughing and Takeshi muttering something that must have been a joke. She waited til they got closer before she appeared from behind the counter, her underwear lacing her body through the open robe as she said allowed. "Hey cousin, why does my ass hurt, and why did I wake up in the kitchen by a box of contraceptives, vaseline, and alcohol?." Her mind snickered as she could just imagine the horror on Takeshi's face, and the scoffs and slaps rang true to her ears. She was successful.
