powers and abilities
There have been A LOT of incidents over the years due to people misunderstanding this character. If you are fighting Tei, I ask that you understand these two facts, if absolutely nothing else:
If you do not understand how a canon character could have Sharingan eyes, please click Why Naruto Fanboys Are The Bane Of My Life in the sidebar. If you still are having some difficulty understanding this, or have any other questions about this character, please feel free to ask me politely! I'm a chill person who loves talking about my character, so I don't mind clearing things up. But I've been harassed so many times that I need to put a disclaimer: Please do not aggressively subtweet me, gather all of your Naruto verse buddies to flood my mentions with insults, or drop the battle without telling me. I have no problem with an adult discussion, but if you act like a child or try to act tough, I can promise it will not go in your favor.
What equipment does she usually carry?
Unless otherwise mentioned, or if you catch her unprepared, you can assume Tei has the following as a minimum:
My character is much weaker than yours. Can you go easy on me?
Yes. If I, the writer, think your character is significantly weaker than my character, I will hamper my character's abilities, make my character make mistakes, et cetera, to make the fight more interesting. However, unless we agree to it OOC, I'm not going to completely throw the battle.
What are Tei's Sharingan/ninjutsu abilities?
Tei started off with the ability to use three-tomae Sharingans when she woke up on the lab table back in 2010, and thus knew how to manipulate her chakra for as long as she can remember. She has all of the usual Sharingan party tricks, however, she is relatively poor at genjutsu due to not being trained in how to use it. Tei developed Mangekyo Sharingans in 2014 over the course of a mental breakdown.
Tei's previous bodies were capable of Amaterasu and manipulating light. Tei's hand seals are not the same as the ones used by Konohagakure ninja, although some are similar, so it's not likely someone could anticipate her moves.
Is Tei a cyborg or a robot?/Info on Tei's body
Tei is a cyborg: A human with technological modifications. She has also undergone some genetic manipulation.
Tei's "human body" and "cyborg body" are linked, but each can work separately. For instance, if Tei's heart stops, she will still be able to move thanks to her motors pressing against her bones, and if her electrical components fail, she can still use her muscular strength. As a result, things that would kill a human do not always kill Tei, or even stop her from fighting back.
There are two backup power sources in her body: One in her torso, and a small one at the base of her skull. The former can power her body in the event her heart stops, the lator keeps her brain from decomposing in the event of her death.
Tei's skull is protected from impact with metal and carbon microtublues. She can withstand a 50 caliber bullet to the head, although the force of such an impact might knock her out or give her whiplash.
A Mother Box, given to Tei by Highfather, is connected to her internally. This box can use all of the abilities Mother Boxes are shown capable of using in the DC canon.
Tei is covered in skin, not metal. (Unless wearing armor of course.) Her skin can be cut just like human skin. While many of her major arteries have extra protection, for the most part, she can bleed just as easily as a human. However, blood loss is much less dangerous for her than it is for a human. Her blood is also dangerous, as it has a high level of metal (which would be toxic if someone were to consume it), and her newest body has a latent HIV infection.
Unless her wiring is exposed, Tei cannot generate electrical currents to electrify people. As her only "computers" do not have any external communication (except for the Mother Box), Tei cannot be "hacked," and even if she could be, it would not affect her behavior because her brain is organic.
Tei is not magnetic, but a few of her electronics do not respond well to extreme magnetism.
What spells can she use?
Due to spending so much time in Hell, Tei picked up on some demonic magic.
Any other abilities?
Tei is trained in a form of two-handed escrima. (Note: It has been years since I trained in the style of escrima Tei uses, and it is complicated because it involves PASSING blows instead of directly blocking them. If you have trouble understanding what I mean when I describe Tei's bladework in an RP, feel free to DM me for clarification.)
- This is a canon character from UTAU, not an OC.
- Yes, she has Sharingan eyes, and it is CANON that she has Sharingan eyes.

What equipment does she usually carry?
Unless otherwise mentioned, or if you catch her unprepared, you can assume Tei has the following as a minimum:
- A fresh coat of sunscreen, if fighting outside
- A cotton T-shirt
- An armored hoodie
- She creates these herself from old hoodies. On the outside, if undamaged, they appear to be normal, if somewhat stiff. On the inside, Tei has sewed several long sheets of metal in the torso, usually horizontally stacked. If the fabric of the hoodie is damaged from the outside, the metal will be visible. The back of this hoodie is magnetized.
- Two knives in hip holsters
- Left: Cold Steel Black Bear Classic with subhilt
- Right: A smaller serrated knife/"swordcatcher"
- Gi pants reaching top of ankles, with pockets
- Sunglasses/tinted goggles
- A picture of her fiancée
- Ibuprofen tablets
- Dextroamphetamine tablets
- At least one extra knife

- Katon: Disrespect
- This is essentially Tei's variation of the several toad oil bullet techniques common to Konohagakure. Tei will spit a small amount of oil which will ignite when it comes in contact with something or someone.
- Katon: Full Turnout
- A technique she has developed herself, it is somewhat unique in that it does not ignite in the stomach in typical Fire Release fashion. While facing her target, Tei makes four hand seals (snake-->mirrored ram-->half boar-->tiger). She then outstretches her right arm and spins her body counter-clockwise. At 90 degrees, she makes a one-handed seal (one resembling the "okay" gesture but with the middle and ring fingers also down), and at 180, a fireball will ignite in her hand, and will continue to increase in size as she moves. As she approaches her opponent once again, she jumps into the air, right hand going under left, drawing both arms towards her body. Once she swaps the hands (right under left to right over left), the fireball (now roughly 60 cm in diameter) will travel towards her target. An advantage of this technique is that it will not begin to burn out until roughly 80 meters and it is relatively quick technique (quicker than Great Fireball). Beware, she has been known to call this a 360 Noscope.
- Disappointing Turnout: Addition of a mirrored dragon seal in between mirrored ram and half boar. The fireball will be just 48 cm in diameter (ergo about half the volume as normal) but has a range of 160 meters before beginning to burn out.
- Impressive Turnout: Double the volume and half the range. Requires a horse seal between mirrored ram and half boar. This will usually burn her.
- Massive Turnout: Roughly 96 cm in diameter, a volume 4xs greater than Full Turnout, and half the range (20 meters) of Impressive Turnout with the same hand seals as Impressive Turnout. This will usually set her on fire as she spins, damaging her.
- Unexpected Turnout: While this at first seems like Full Turnout, the flame produced is absolutely tiny, barely the size of a pinky finger. Once a safe distance from Tei and she snaps her fingers, the technique roars to life, creating a fast-moving fireball of truly massive size. It is approximately 15 meters in radius, therefore being over twice as large as a school bus. At its core, the fireball is hot enough to melt solid steel. It can travel up to 200 meters before slowly beginning to die down (longer if she is in a warm location). Tei can also control the fireball with the movement of her index finger, therefore allowing her to hit an evasive opponent. Being extraordinarily powerful, this is quite the taxing technique to use.
- Katon: Magic Fingers
- Tei is able to ignite a small amount of chakra by snapping her fingers. This will only create a small open flame about the size of a candle flame that goes out after a few seconds, unless it catches something flammable.
- This can be performed without snapping her fingers as well, basically giving her the ability to set flammable things on fire by touching them.
- Katon: Sick Day
- If a Fire Release technique which involves molding chakra in the stomach is interrupted or cancelled, Tei will sometimes puke fire. While not an offensive technique, she has used this to get out of work on one occasion.
- Senjutsu
- Tei is capable of using Sage Mode thanks to training with Sarutobi. She does not have a perfect balance of it quite yet in spite of training for quite some time now.
- Shadow Clone Jutsu
- Sarutobi Konohamaru taught Tei how to use this technique during her senjutsu training. Tei almost never uses more than five clones unless training or doing housework. As her chakra reverses aren't that massive, Tei cannot create hoards of clones.
- Suiton
- Tei is capable of running her chakra through water, but has not developed any offensive techniques due to her discomfort around water.
- Susanoo
- Tei's usage of this technique has developed much over time, but her mastery is not taken the same advancement towards protection and power as is typical; instead of focusing on raw strength, Tei has turned this into one of her most versatile techniques. In the spirit of a true scientist, she has developed a naming system based on the IUPAC naming system for organic molecules.

What spells can she use?
Due to spending so much time in Hell, Tei picked up on some demonic magic.
- "Storing" items in a pocket dimension around her (there is a limit to the number and weight of items this dimension can hold)
- Charming objects, so she can later move them around without physical contact or cause them to respond only to her touch (for example, she can charm a gun so that it jams unless it's in her hands)
- Sharing physical sensations with others
- Amplifying her voice
