A R S E N A L
F I G H T I N G - S T Y L E· Flame Dance (かえんまい, Kaenmai): A style of combat in which the user combines the fire element with physical strikes. The user cloaks themselves in a sustained fire, from which they do not receive any burns. This allows the user to inflict burning damage on their targets through physical combat.
T E C H N I Q U E S· Time Reversal Technique (じぎゃくのじゅつ, Jigyaku no Jutsu) [D-RANK]: An illusionary technique used by members of the ANBU to pull out forgotten memories. After forming the needed hand seals, the ANBU will put the target into a hypnotic trance.
After counting back to the day they wish to learn about, they will ask the target to remember incidents they have since forgotten. The target will comply with interrogation, but seems to retain his or her personality while under hypnosis. This allows the ANBU to gather information that would otherwise be inaccessible.
· Temporary Paralysis Technique (かなしばりのじゅつ, Kanashibari no Jutsu) [D-RANK]: An advanced technique used by members of the ANBU to temporarily bind an opponent.
The technique debilitates the victim for a short period of time, which allows the user to either strike the target, or take the target into custody. The intensity will vary greatly according to the user's level of skill. The technique can also be cast on multiple targets at once, depending on the user's skill.
· Corpse Disposal Technique (したいほろぼすのじゅつ, Shitaihorobosu no Jutsu): A technique used by members of the ANBU to completely destroy a body. It can even be used to destroy their own, when on the verge of being killed or captured. This technique engulfs a body in chakra and destroys it, along with its secrets, leaving no trace of the body behind.
· Flame Punch (ほのおのおうだ, Honō no Ōda) [D-RANK]: A martial arts technique incorporating the fire element that deals little damage. The user punches the target with a fiery fist, intending to leave a burn on the target.
· Blaze Kick (かえんの, Kaen no ) [C-RANK]: A martial arts technique incorporating the fire element that deals slightly moderate damage. The user launches a flaming kick which may also leave the target with a burn.
· Heat Crash (ねつげきとつ, Netsugekitotsu) [B-RANK]: A martial arts technique incorporating the fire element that deals more than moderate damage. The user cloaks themselves in flame and slams their target with their flame-covered body. The larger the user is in comparison to the target, the greater the damage.
· Ember (たねび, Tanebi) [D-RANK]: A technique of the fire element that deals a small amount of damage. The user forms hand seals and then spews out a volley of small flames. The target may be left with burning clothes.
· Flame Burst (はれつび, Haretsubi) [D-RANK]: A technique of the fire element that deals varied amounts of damage. The user ignites an inferno of scarlet flames which torches everything around them. The user can alternatively manifest a localized flame on an object, causing the object to be burnt up and rendered unusable.
· Fire Spin (らせんび, Rasenbi) [C-RANK]: A technique of the fire element that deals moderate damage. The user forms hand seals and then a fierce vortex of fire comes up from the ground around the target, and rages for several seconds.
· Flamethrower (かえんほうしゃ, Kaenhōsha) [B-RANK]: A technique of the fire element that deals significant damage. A yellow-red-orange column of flame spirals out from the user's mouth, and scorches the target with an intense blast of fire.
· Blast Burn (くうばく, Kūbaku) [A-RANK]: A technique of the fire element that deals a
huge amount of damage. The user razes the opposition with huge fiery burst, and inflicts splash damage on others near to the target as well. The lower the user's chakra, the less powerful this attack becomes.
· Fire Blast (ひばく, Hibaku) [A-RANK]: A technique of the fire element that deals significant damage. The user attacks the target with an intense blast of all-consuming fire which incinerates everything it strikes. The intense flame scorches the environment and leaves severe burns on most targets.
· Inferno (ごうか, Gōka) [C/B-RANK]: A technique of the fire element can deal serious damage. The user brings down a giant flame, engulfing the target in an intense fire. This attack does more damage when preceded by a lightning element technique.
· Heatwave (ねっぱ, Neppa) [B/A-RANK]: A technique of the fire element that can deal massive damage. The user exhales a heated breath on the foe to attack. The user attacks by exhaling hot breath on the opposing team. When supported by a wind element technique, its damage increases into a vast sea of fire.
I N V E N T O R Y· Ninja Tools (にんじゃどうぐ, Ninja Dōgu): A number of tools utilized by Ho Rin. The primary weapon is a hidden tantō beneath her right sleeve complete with a mechanism used to instantly extend and retract the tantō.
Rin also possesses makibishi and shuriken. She has a number of scrolls, smoke bombs, flash bombs, explosive tags (including explosive tag balls) and sealing tags.
She even carries a bingo book.
O V E R V I E W
A P P E A R A N C E· Tall, soft-spoken Rin is very comfortable with her height and her busty physique. Rin is unusually busty and tall—her height is given as 174 centimeters (approximately 5'8").
D I S P O S I T I O N· Commonly referred to by her position in lieu of her name, Rin is the voice of reason, and the most mature and serious of her allies—and as such, the comic foil to the others' silliness. She often berates or is struck dumb by her friends' flippant behavior. She is extremely smart and responsible.
"Teacher" is a nickname from her early years, but her allies still call her that, and so do her students. Popular with the students, Rin is very sensitive to comments about her love life, appearance, and virtually any displays of affection towards her.
Still, she is quite devoted to teaching, and is initially portrayed as an introverted, taciturn bibliophile. She actually uses reading material to hide the fact she has porn hidden within the pages.
Aside from being seen as impossibly curvaceous and attractive, Rin is a nice woman—a peacemaker who tries to stop any bickering and generous by nature. Her friends sometimes take advantage of her good nature and scholastic abilities.
She loves cooking and is the wonder of her students for getting up early enough to make her own lunches and be ready to teach at school. She is very proud of being an instructor and works tirelessly to live up to that status.
Because she is ever-thoughtful, she seldom speaks, and this reticence is misinterpreted and admired as "tough", "mysterious", and "cool"—a reputation compounded by her natural athletic ability. She is the subject of many of her students' infatuation.
In contrast to what other students think of her, Rin has no interest in sports. Despite her reserve, she has a very strong desire for friendship, leading her to attach herself to her young students. If she is aware of her students' infatuation, she shows no sign of it.
O R I G I N· Ho Rin (ほりん, Ho Rin) is a Jōnin-level kunoichi of Hidden Cloud, who serves primarily as an instructor at the ninja academy. Previously a member of the ANBU, she was known for spending her free time teaching at the academy.
When she became pregnant with her daughter Noi, she resigned from the ANBU and took a leave of absence from teaching at the academy. She would return to the academy shortly after giving birth to her daughter, promoted to head instructor. She teaches some specialized classes, and is also known to be a private tutor.
