General Information
Name:
Deidara
Age:
24
{My guess.}
Gender:
Dansei
{Male}
Rank:
S-rank Criminal
Appearance:
Deidara wears the standard Akatsuki uniform, consisting of a black cloak decorated with red clouds. And occasionally wears a bamboo hat. Like all the others, he wears dark purple nail polish, and wields the Akatsuki ring, which means 'Aoi' ('blue, green'), on his right index finger. The last thing that decorates his hands are palm-mouths that reside in both hands. Below the cloak, he wears a tight mesh-shirt that has a black covering over the top part. The shirt itself reaches just above where his pants begin. The pants are black, with one pouch of clay attached to both sides of the waist. His 'zori' are secured by a strap that's attached to the white part of his pants. Deidara has long, blond hair that's tied to a tight ponytail at the back, while on the front, the left side flops over his hitai-ate, covering the scope he keeps on his left eye. The eyes, themselves, are bright blue, almond-shaped with an eyeliner-like appearance to them.
Personality:
Deidara refers to his ninjutsu as art, believing each bomb he makes to be such works of art. He refers to style as superflat (the word itself used to refer to certain types of manga), and claims pop is dead. One of Deidara's catchphrases, "Art is a blast" (or variations therein), was originally coined by famous Japanese abstract artist Tarō Okamoto. Deidara is very proud of his art, to the point that he is simply unwilling to accept that anything could defeat it, leading to frequent overconfidence in battle. Deidara also has a habit of ending his sentences with a mumble/grunt, usually transcribed as un or mmm, in the same way Naruto ends most of his sentences with -ttebayo.
History:
Before joining Akatsuki, Deidara was a terrorist bomber for hire, seeing it as an opportunity to use his "art" on a regular basis. He was involuntarily recruited by Itachi under the orders of the leader. While he becomes accustomed to Akatsuki, he continually holds a grudge against Itachi and longs to defeat him to prove himself. After joining, Deidara is partnered with Sasori, who he refers to as Master Sasori. Deidara respects Sasori as a stronger fighter and great artist, thought he two disagree on what fine art is. Deidara holds that art is transient, departing quickly. Sasori believed that fine art is something wonderful that's left long into the future. This reflects their individual natures (Deidara makes clay sculptures that explode, Sasori makes long-lasting puppets out of humans). After Sasori's death, Tobi is assigned as Deidara's new partner. Deidara gets impatient with Tobi fairly easily, since Tobi rarely pays attention to what he is saying. Tobi's inattentiveness often results in Deidara attacking him in some way, either with his exploding clay or an attempt to suffocate him. Despite this hostile relationship he has with Tobi, Deidara has formed a student-teacher connection with him; Tobi even refers to him as "senpai".
Other:
In addition to his explosive clay, Deidara wears a scope on his left eye for long-range observation, and he has trained the eye itself to dispel genjutsu.
Battle Information
Weapons: -Any weapons your character uses and carries.
Known Jutsus:
Kibaku Nendo (Explosive Clay) As the name suggests he can make the clay explode using the command "detonate", or 'katsu'. To give the clay its explosive properties, Deidara must infuse his chakra with it; the more chakra he adds the stronger the blast. Deidara can shape this clay into a number of forms for a variety of purposes, be it creatures that can be used for flight or sneak attacks, copies of himself to be used as a distraction, or weapon variants such as mines. Some clay forms even receive a ranking system from Deidara much like that of C-4. Many of the clay creations he makes he refers to as "C1", and their explosive power is roughly equivalent to that of a hand grenade. "C2" is his title for a large clay dragon that uses the clay from its tail to shoot smaller explosives at opponent. His "C3", while never actually seen formed, is an immobile clay statue that is used like a bomb, and upon making contact with the ground has the potential to decimate an entire village. His final and strongest, "C4", is created by eating clay with his mouth and then spitting out a large copy of itself. Once the clone detonates it release a number of microscopic bombs over a large area that enter an opponent's body through their nasal passages and, upon detonating, cause the target to dissolve into dust. As a last resort Deidara has an additional, unranked, mouth on his chest that, once being unsealed and provided with clay, turns himself into a living bomb that destroys everything in a 10 kilometer radius at the cost of his life.
Nendo Bunshin (Clay Clone) Deidara is able to create an exact copy of himself out of clay. Like the rest of his art, the clone(s) can explode on command.
Main fighting style:
Long-range attacks using his explosive clay.
Example of Writing:
(An example from a Pokemon roleplay post at Cheyenne Region.)
The atmosphere was cool, and smelled of freshly cut grass. A teenager by the name of Kato Sae was slowly approaching a big building, which had already begun to tower every time a step was taken. Reaching up to her hair, where the short ponytail sat, she carefully pulled the hair piece closer the her skull, as if to keep the long, brown hair still until the coming moment was over. After doing so, Sae pocketed her hands, which were shaking a bit. Probably because she had never been in this part of the world before, and Sae did admit to herself that she felt nervous. Continuing the walk down the dusty, old road, the girl thought about what kind of Pokémon they were going to offer her at the laboratory.
Being from Sinnoh, where the regular starters had been the traditional Chimchar, Turtwig and Piplup, Sae pondered whether this land would have new kinds of Pokemon, or a different system with starters. Although not showing it, she hoped for the latter. It wasn't that the girl didn't like the Fire-Grass-Water starters, but she wanted something different. Not that she could really talk, seeing as her parents had given her a Vulpix as a first Pokémon when Sae turned five. That was ten-years-ago, and after leaving the evolved form of her beloved Fire-type back in Veilstone City with her parents, the teenager wanted to try something different. Perhaps to conquer the Cheyenne Champion League?
The thoughts were suddenly interrupted when Sae stumped the tip of her foot on a gray step. Coming back to the real world, she looked up to see the building that had been towering her just moments ago. In contrast, it wasn't that big. The laboratory was a low building with a flat rooftop, and white outside walls. The front door seemed to be an off-white color from the distance. Around the place, Sae could see a lovely yard, pretty enough to be a garden. Continuing on, the girl went up the short flight of steps which led to the front door, that had been an off-white color after all. Stopping just before she would bump into it, Sae lifted up a right arm to a shoulder level, rolling the hand into a softened fist and giving the door three knocks. Habit.
Now, she would wait. For however long it took someone to answer the knocks made to the door.
