what are you hoping to learn from your teachers by the time you graduate?
All I can, but if I had to point to something, I'd like to learn more elemental ninjutsu. I have aptitude for it, but couldn't develop it that well yet. It's not my family's speciality. I'd also like to learn skills that can support it, like better use of my Orbs, and more Taijutsu. (He's a bit apprehensive about the last one. He still hopes he'll awake Byakugan one day, and learn the Gentle Fist, so learning a different combat style right now, feels like abandoning that dream.) Also... genjutsu defence...

What was the first thing your character does when they make it to the village?
Get admitted into the infirmary. He spent two weeks in a coma due to the powerful genjutsu he's been put under. His brain shutdown hard for that time, which protected him from the worst, but some mild PTSD aftereffects will linger for a bit. Once he comes to and gets discharged, he'll join the Academy, but he does so a bit late, so getting integrated feels like a bit of a hurdle. Initially, he might rely on his sister, which might not be the best option given her somewhat asocial stance.
In the Hidden Moon, due to the high quantities of foreigners coming to attend the academy, dormitories have been provided for the students.
You may request another build of the same sex to become your roommate, otherwise it will be picked at random.
He has already been assigned Nagayasu, right? I think I've seen someone say that. I guess he's half white so that's a part in common.
What does your character do in their downtime?
He liked walks in nature. Back when living with a clan, people generally didn't pay him that much attention, focusing on his sister instead, so it was one of the main ways for him to pass time. Now, after the attack, it's more difficult to do that, but there are other options available. In a way, he's searching for a new hobby.
What vibe does your character give off as a first impression?
The appearance, noble upbringing and mimicking his sister's manners, make him difficult to approach, but once you get past it, he's friendly, curious and excitable. Imagine a noble child who tries but struggles to sit still during some important ceremony.
What is your character’s attitude within a classroom setting?
A bit shy and overreliant on his sister at first, especially since he's one of the youngest students, but once he gets used to the situation, he'll be more open. He's the type to volunteer for everything and raise his questions to all questions, even when he's not sure of the answer. Not exactly a teacher's pet, but overactive and yearning for attention.
Teacher Questions - Answer as if your character were asked these questions in class:
What is chakra?
Essence. (His answer is exceedingly simple, but something about the way he says it makes it feel sufficient, profound even, like an answer to a Koan. This stems from his uniquely strong connection to all chakra natures.)
Do you know of the 12 basic Hand Seals?
Yes. Rat, Ox, Tiger, Hare, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Ram, Monkey, Bird, Dog, Boar. (He demonstrates as he lists them.) There are other seals too, I've seen my mum use some, but I don't know them well.
What is a Nindō?
Road of a Ninja. Your dream. Your ideals. What you fight for. What you want to become.
What does it mean to be a Shinobi?
To use chakra to fight for your clan, village and beliefs.

You're still too green to have one yet, but what kind of special technique or super attack do you dream of being able to pull off in the future? When you imagine yourself as the big strong elite Jonin facing off against a horde of enemies or an equal foe, what do you pull out to put an end do the battle?
I'd like to learn a technique that drowns my enemies in a combined barrage of different elemental attacks.
(He'd like to learn to control the Orbs well enough that they don't have to be sealed, and then the ultimate attack would channel and combine elemental energies through them, but the true nature of the Orbs is kept hidden from other students and teachers, at least for now.)

We've officially kicked off the school year! Now comes the question of what comes next. Are there any academy student level events you'd like to see happen? A class competition? A cultural festival in the Moon village? A school shooter? Teacher vs Teacher vs Teacher divide using the students as their pawns? Borochimaru showing up? Or do you want to kick things into high gear and get the student life over with ASAP?
I think an event at some point that would face our students with those of another Academy would be neat. It could display how this ragtag group of misfits is, in fact, super talented and well-trained (normally Academy teachers are chunin, right? We have four jonin, including two elites).

How do you guys personally imagine the dorm structure?
Separate buildings for boys and girls? Divided by floor? Not divided at all, just mixing and matching rooms?
Bunk beds? One bed for everyone? Futons?
Are there bathrooms for every room or a single boys/girls bathroom?
How furnished are the rooms?
Is there a kitchen in the dorms? Or are they expected to visit the school cafeteria? Or are they supposed to fend for themselves?
This is already decided, right?

Elementfriends, most of us seem to be singular, non-kekkei elements at the moment. Is anyone thinking of eventually branching out to another element, getting a kekkei, or just focusing on their existing one? We might never get to rank up, but figuring out some training directions for the game might be fun.
All the Basic Elements are already there, but I could go for more EKG, likely also from those top-tier ones, but Dark is also neat. Or I might go for just more elemental hiddens. From KG, I also consider awakening the Byakugan.

You were walking through the village alone, minding your own business. You cut through a side path and bam, you're being held up at knife point! He's just a petty thief, he has no chance at beating you. He's decided to rob you because you're young and dress weird. Unless you're a teacher, then he just thinks you look like an easy mark for whatever reason.
Question is, how do you deal with this generic mob? And what do you do about him after you've handled him?
Knock him out with a hit from an Orb and then deliver him to the police/guards.

Students
Is there someone in your class that has caught your build's interest that isn't your roommate? Someone you'd want to know more about? Even if you're a broody teenager and don't plan on socializing, someone at least must have stuck in your mind more than the others. Maybe it's a teacher?
<TBA>
What is it like to talk to you? Are you animated? Monotone? Maybe you speak quickly? Or have a deep voice? Some kind of vocal tick?
<TBA>
Give us a line or two of example dialogue to give everyone a feel on how your build typically talks to their classmates.
