Kugutsu Butai [Application]

[Hayaka]

Sungakure's Kugutsu Butai_{Puppet Brigade} is comprised of the village's elite puppeteers. They are recognized in the Suna as the most talented puppeteers in the village and are often called upon to carry out unique tasks. During the war, this group was tasked with orchestrating ambushes, setting traps, and capturing enemies. The Kugutsu Butai were founded with the intent of elevating the art and protecting the secrets of their techniques. When a puppeteer defects from the village, a member of the Kugutsu Butai is usually sent to either kill or capture the nukenin and retrieve his puppets, ensuring that the Kugutsu remains exclusive to Suna. They also work on their techniques together, enabling them to use their combined experience to more effectively enhance their abilities. Because of this, they are shown to be rather close.

There are never more than five active members of the Kugutsu Butai at any given time, though it is customary that each take at least one apprentice to ensure that their puppets and skills live on. Because of this, they have the appearance of being much larger. Aside from their puppetry, members also seem to have an extensive knowledge of poison and most have developed their own signature poison with unique effects.

The Kugutsu Butai maintain a hidden cave in the upper plateaus of Sunagakure as their base of operations, workshop, and training ground.

I'm not filling spots just to fill spots. I'm looking for quality apps. Please use the following template to briefly tell me about your character. Please no human puppets. You'll have to learn and master that IC. As of right now, I'm looking for four members and at least one apprentice for each. Feel free to add a BRIEF Rp sample if you feel it well help your app.

Name:
Age:
Rank:
Member or Apprentice: Members are the five officially enlisted in the brigade. The apprentices study under the members to an extent and replace the members when appropriate.
Noteworthy Accomplishments: Don't feel the need to stack your character's history with ridiculous feats. Just things that would highlight your character's strengths and make him or her stand out as a puppeteer.
Puppet Concept: I would just like to see what unique spin, if any, you are applying to your kugutsu. If you don't have anything yet, don't worry about it.

[/li][li]Member of a highly successful Advance Strike squad during the Second War

Puppet Concept:
[/li][li]Haran incorporates the use of puppetry in his clothing, weaponry, combat and even daily lifestyle. His usual combat clothing is actually a puppet that he can use to assist with motion should one attempt to incapacitate him.

[/li][li]After losing his arm, he replaced the limb with a puppet to allow continued active duty, making him into a unique puppeteer that can also be useful in close combat.

[/li][li]All of his weapons and puppets use a nonlethal poison that incapacitates with great speed and causes agonizing pain, causing rapidly accelerated muscular atrophy for as long as the victim remains infected.[/font][/justify][/blockquote][/blockquote][/blockquote][/blockquote]

I probably should have clarified but for the apprentices, they should be Chuunin for the most part.

[Uchiha Shinji]

I PMed you about this but I'm just putting it here to reserve the spot if you accept me. =]

Name: Tonou Yosokame
Age: 18
Rank: Jonin
Member or Apprentice: Member
Noteworthy Accomplishments:
-Went on plenty of missions with his father
-Built all of his puppets and knows them inside and out
-Compared to Sasori in skill
-Creates his own poisons and potions
-Kekkei Genkai allowing him to store his puppets in his fingertips for easy access and transportation
-Has come up with some Kugutsu techniques of his own that are simple but deadly

IC (on Konaha V1)
-Defeated many opponents of Jonin skill and above
-Captured/Killed multiple Nukenin
-Saved Suna from having a portion of it blown up by a mad suna puppeteer bomber

Puppet Concept: Utilizes his KG to accompany his Kugutsu techniques. He specializes in stealthy and deadly arts. Having all his puppets equipped with his poison, every attack he makes is deadly by just making contact. Also, while he seems as if he is empty handed, he always has his puppets on him (in his finger tips).

Name
Natori Tedare

Rank
Jōnin

Member or Apprentice
Member

Noteworthy Accomplishments
-Developed unique puppet armor
-Showed above-average skill in Puppetry as a genin
-Experienced in using chakra-based and element-based techniques with his puppets.

Puppet Concept
Tedare's main puppets all revolve around the same frame, that of a four-legged feline-type creature. Each puppet is thus equipped with unique armor and weapons that give it some kind of advantage or specialty. He also has other supportive puppets that have some kind of other role in his fighting style.

[Hayaka]

Shinji: 18 is too young. And given the issues I saw in the profile, my confidence is wavering. Its a no for now. Sorry. If you want to make an apprentice, that would be fine.

Kyuji: Approved.

I'll open up that fifth spot later. There are unique circumstances behind that character that'll be revealed when the time comes. I'll have a thread up soon for you all to post in. In the meantime, I encourage you to post together and establish IC relationships. As I said before, the members are all close with one another.

[Uchiha Shinji]

Ok. Apprentice it is.
