<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">Konoha dramatis personae</span><br/><br/><strong>Hokage Wasaji Naki, aka <em>Green Shadow</em></strong><br/><br/>Biog - Performed admirably as a youth in the Samurai Wars and as a veteran in the Great Ninja War. Been Hokage since the end of the latter.<br/>Not much known about him otherwise. Keeps to himself in the Hokage tower, talks through his aides, the Sannin, and letters.<br/><br/>Abilities - Again unknown. Rumours from high-up jounin speculate that his namesake jutsu is a mixture of many different jutsu types, including some Mokuton. Rumours unconfirmed.<br/><br/>Personality - Aloof, again unknown. From his vicarious communication with his village, seems neither friendly nor cruel.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Sannin Ikuza, aka <em>The Mad Hermit</em></strong><br/><br/>Biog - Although somewhat of a travelling nomad, Ikuza has managed to spend a lot of his time in his home village, Konoha. Like his Hokage, fought in both the Samurai and Great Ninja wars, making him quite old. Has definately come into other conflicts in his travels, unknown if it is a mixture of this or something else that sent him a tad doolally and earned him his namesake.<br/><br/>Abilities - As attributed to a mighty Sannin, Ikuza has earned himself a rich summoning contract with the monkey animal clan. Specialises in doton jutsu, being able to heft mighty slabs of land around seemingly at will. Ikuza no doubt has a wealth of other abilities as yet unseen.<br/><br/>Personality - Rumours are wild to what exactly caused Ikuza to be a tad jilted, but the result is the same; crazy grins, random mentions of kippers, vast consumption of sake, twitches, mad laughter when nothing funny's even happened, etc. For all this Ikuza is a warm person, when you catch him on a normal day.<br/><br/><strong>New Jounin Senju Akigo, <em>The Cockerel</em></strong><br/><br/>(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v484/Scarysquirrel/akigokonoha.jpg)<br/>[Slightly low-quality image, but it's only an NPC. Naruto character created by deviantartist Hapuriainen]<br/><br/>Biog - Only being 20, Akigo only saw the last mop-up operations and skirmishes of the Great Ninja War. He served in a few missions, earning himself distinction to chunin, applying himself with vast energy and unrelenting determination. Having realised due to his brash nature and wild antics that he would be useless in most stealth-related missions, his jounin elders began to put him on teams designed for distraction, ambushes, chaos-causing, anything that involved drawing a lot of enemy attention very quickly and keeping it away from another objective. Akigo went about his ninja work with his bizarre, gangly style of taijutsu, and it was this coupled with his loud mouth that earned him the mocking name of "Cockerel" which he proudly keeps to this day. Akigo has only very recently been promoted to jounin, and the position is still new to him.<br/><br/>Abilities - Akigo manages to be rather unpredictable in a fight. Thanks to his Senju-bloodline chakra reserves and stamina, Akigo can afford to take risks in a battle and use "trial and error" to determine an enemy's weakness. Favours a quarterstaff when he fights, which he summons instead of carries, has a low-level summoning contract with two different animal clans, and is wind element attuned, having a few good wind jutsu at his disposal.<br/><br/>Personality - Loud and brash, but aggressively friendly. You will usually hear him before you see him. Surprisingly he suits a position of leadership well thanks to his insistence on knowing every ninja in the village, and his excellent (albeit very loud) communication skills. However, the promotion to jounin caught him off-guard, and he still dorks up every now and then.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>
