CHARACTER INFORMATION-
Canon Character and Series: Mitarashi Anko, Naruto
In-Game Name: Anko Mitarashi
Age: 25 (as of October)
Birthday: October 24th
Gender: Female
Position & Ship: Seaman, 4423
Appearance: 5'6", 101 pounds. The style she usually wears her hair in makes her look taller. Her hair is a deep violet, often mistaken as a shade of black or blue, and short; when she lets it down, which is rare, it comes about to her shoulders. Her eyes are more or less hazel, though her pupil seems the same shade sometimes, giving her eyes an odd look. She's very atheletically built, from years of training, though she doesn't look as strong as she is. Her usual outfit consists of a thigh-length beige coat that she almost never parts with (partly because it hides a strange mark on the back of her neck that is the remnant of a curse seal), a two-part metal mesh body suit from chest to thigh, and a skirt. She usually wears boots, and a carved wooden necklace. Nearly every piece of the ensemble has some sentimental value to it, so she's rarely seen in something else entirely. She does like dressing up if she needs to go incognito--or just for fun.
The curse seal is about an inch and a half across, and looks like a tomoe.
Personality: Loud is the first word that comes to mind when speaking of Anko. Boisterous, brash, bordering on rude, and beautiful but deadly are some others that quickly follow on this. She's very easygoing, most of the time, and loves to both eat and drink. Lots. Of both. She likes to get drunk often, living like a reckless teenager even in her twenties. She annoys a lot of people, and takes a certain pleasure in it too, showing up early or being too loud. It's hard not to notice Anko.
She can be serious, deadly so. When she's focused on something, she notices details, and things other people might not. Whether she points these things out is a different matter. She's also slightly sadistic, whenever people have brought something painful upon themselves through either stupidity or choice. She's good at scaring people, mostly because of this.
All of her antics hide a darker center. After being cursed and then abandoned by her master, she tends not to let people in, or show what she is really feeling, cautious of trusting anyone again.
Abilities/Weapons: Anko trained for years as a ninja, under a few different people, meaning she can be very stealthy and fast when she chooses to be. She is has extremely fast reflexes, even for one with such training and favors knife-like kunai as weapons--when she uses weapons. More often she uses chakra, bodily energy harnessed as power, to preform certain techniques that, to the untrained eye, look a little like magic.
The techniques she favors are Hidden Shadow Snake Hands, which allows her to eject several snakes from her wrist/sleeve at her attacker and fire attacks. The one technique she can only use once is Twin Snakes Mututal Death, which kills both the target of the technique, and the user--a suicide manuver. Both of these were forbidden, and she'd prefer people not to know how she learned them.
How well can your character hack?: Anko can hack posts encoded up to medium difficulty. A ninja is part spy, after all, and when this new technology came around, they learned all they could about it.
Weaknesses: Sometimes she isn't particularly observant, only picking up on a problem or person after something obvious had been put in her face. She drinks too much, and gets hangovers, and eats way too much of food that really isn't healthy. She also has a slight complex about not being good enough, stemming from her master's abandonment of her. Certain evil presences can irritate or activate the cursed seal, causing her great pain and almost fever-like symptoms if it goes on long enough.
History: Mitarashi Anko was born in a village outside of Melior, into a family with a long tradition of becoming ninjas. From a very early age she was trained, by the school in the village, having lost her parents at a very young age to an attack. But she was loud, and brash, and no one really thought she was ninja material, including herself. But she was determined and graduated at the same time as her classmates.
When everyone was being chosen by their new tutors in small groups of three, Anko wasn't really wanted by any of them. But she happened to catch the eye of one of the village's legendary ninjas, Orochimaru. It started out as most apprenticeships should, but quickly turned sour. Orochimaru was looking for the secret to immortality, by preforming gruesome experiments on those of the village who would not be missed.
Eventually, he was banished and Anko went with him, her loyalty to her teacher unwavering. He continued his experiments, and continued teaching her techniques, even forbidden ones he had come up with, until his experiments turned on her. He cursed her and nine others. Out of the ten, she was the only one able to survive the stress and pain the curse put on her body. And then he abandoned her altogether, telling her that she was lacking. She was found and brought back by an elite team from her village.
From there, she became a very good ninja, avoiding drawing on the power the cursed seal gave her, advancing in skill until she reached the journeyman level in her village. However, she was still a boisterous, loud, and often drunk woman. Eventually the leader or the town decided to send her out on a sort of vacation for a year or so. She ended up on the 4423 mostly out of boredom and the desire to see a little action, or at least get drunk with some people who'd appreciate it.
