It's a bright morning in the Leaf village. You wake up and stretch your muscles for a few seconds before heading off to the bathroom nearby to freshen up for the day. You had to be ready, always. Your job pretty much required it, even on your days off. Well, at least they called them days off...but technically, being a shinobi meant that you had to be prepared for action at all times, whether you were properly equipped or not. But an elite shinobi was always properly equipped if their body was in working order. That you had learned from many of the instructors at the Academy. The Leaf was huge, bustling, and strong in many aspects. Your education was good, you could fend for yourself quite well, and work wasn't too stressful nowadays... You look at yourself in the bathroom mirror for the first time today. A familiar face and body stares right back at you from the reflection of the glass. --- Gender (believe it or not, this is kind of important to the story.) a) Male b) Female Age a) 13-19 b) 19-24 c) 24-29 d) 30+ e) Other f) Author's pick Hair > Length a) Long b) Short c) Shoulder d) Waist e) Other f) Author's pick >Colour a) Black b) Brown c) White d) Blonde e) Red f) Blue g) Other f) Author's pick >Style/Texture a) Free option b) Author's pick Eyes a) Blue b) Brown c) Amber d) Green e) Violet f) Other g) Author's pick Body >Type a) Super athletic/model type b) Athletic/fit c) Average d) Slightly below average e) Other f) Author's pick >Height a) Tall b) Short c) Average d) Quite tall e) Quite short f) Other g) Author's pick >Weight a) Extremely high b) High c) Average d) Low e) Extremely low f) Other g) Author's pick >Skin Tone (this won't determine ethnicity, it's a relative thing) a) Quite dark b) Dark c) Average d) Light e) Very light --- Rank (determines your first stop) a) Academy Student b) Genin c) Chuunin d) Special Jounin e) Jounin f) ANBU Black Ops g) h) Other i) Author's pick --- More options to come as we move along.

A E) 80, old as hell cause we've never had one of those yet. A C B G D F) Yoda short F) Between Low and Extremely low E H) Retired ninja, Ebizo/Chiyo level
"You had to be ready, always. Your job pretty much required it, even on your days off."
So does this mean my vote for retired ninja is not allowed?

A retired ninja could still have work. So it's allowed.

Uh, Forte, there's 9 votes (metal, overt, pyro, dragon, ice, giga, vegeta, myself, cactus). How could there be a tie on the gender?

Yeah, my bad. I posted while Cactus was updating, just changed it. Thanks for the count, Yushi. Appreciate it.
I guess I'll wait for a few more votes before I move on. The beginning's going to be relatively slow until we start to define our character a bit more.

Well, I'd like to continue. Age vote is still tied up. I'd likely continue with everything else as is.

Hm. Your hair was still white as usual, though you didn't mind it. Back when you were a kid, you'd dye your hair a lot of the time and say that your natural colour was due to a medical condition, though it was a lie. Nowadays, you didn't worry too much about what others thought. Was it your age that made it so? Who knew, really.
After cleaning up for the morning, you slip into a pair of black jeans and throw on a green sweater for the time being. Work didn't require you to get too dressed up, anyways. You wondered a bit about your height...someone had mentioned in passing that guys didn't really like women who were taller than they were. Maybe in this part of the world, guys were just short. Would you have to travel abroad to find a man?
Well, that wasn't important now. Maybe when you 'retired' or something like that.
Breakfast was easily done. You wiped your heels free of dirt before putting them on and heading out for the day after that.
---
The sun hadn't really risen yet, just peeking out over the horizon. But it was more than enough light for the majority of shinobi and merchants to start their days in earnest. You step past the quiet murmur of the streets and head to your first destination, the Hokage's office.
After becoming a Chuunin years ago, you hadn't expected to move up anywhere too quickly. Not that you were lazy, but you certainly didn't feel that you were anything special. Maybe he did? Well, the Hokage thought everyone was special, in their own way. Naivete? Or wishful thinking? Maybe both. You didn't know as of yet.
He had called you up to his office. You wonder what he wants of you this time.
The guards give you a stiff salute, and you salute back towards them before stepping inside. You reach the Hokage's office, notable by not only the large, elaborately crafted wooden doors, but by the smell of tobacco seeping through the seams in said doors. A light knock earns a reply, one ushering you in. You do so, and spot the elderly man sitting at his desk, smoking his pipe as you suspected.
"Ah, you're here," he says with a smile. Somehow, you had come to know each other well, though for what reason you couldn't figure out. Perhaps that reason would reveal itself today.
"So, how are you doing this morning?"
---
Response (primarily defines your personality)
a) Rude/brash
b) Stiff
c) Quiet
d) Cold/biting
e) Monotonic/robotic
f) Cheerful/pleasant
g) Plain/affirmative
h) Hotblooded
g) "Meh."
i) Other not listed.
---
You're on...
1. Good terms with the Hokage.
2. Not so good terms.
3. Sort of bad terms, really.
4. BFFs.
5. You think he's a foolish old man.
6. Other not listed. ---
a/n: Your base rank is Chuunin for now. Your mystery rank will be determined on how your character is defined as of these next few updates, unless you all want to choose a rank.
