#1 Akatsuki has produced most of the prolific personalities on the NA gaming circuit, members and ex-members alike. The clan thrives on unprecedented history, pioneering the clan landscape, as well as indirectly responsible for the inception of more known clans. The clan has suffered several downfalls, but flourished in resolve as we continue to exist in the shadows. Much ado to this, we have decided that it is due to break free from the anonymity and beyond. And we will continue to stark a dark trail, to realize that in the end, there can only be one benchmark for dominance: Akatsuki, and everyone else. Akatsuki has a long-standing policy of recruiting through invitation. This still is in effect as of the moment. Though all of us have a keen eye for prospective members, we are to release to following guidelines, to get our attention, with respect to NA players who think got what it takes to exemplify: Phase 1: Perspectives on Acquaintance > Impressions and be acquainted with the members > Applicants must introduce themselves on Xat > Raizen-1, Kamatari, Kostas, Antarctic, Gardover and/or Doomstench, will notify the applicant if he/she is deemed to advance on Phase 2. Phase 2: Entanglement > A test of skill, luck, and hardiness. > The applicant must be ready to have his skill sets (on NA) tested, by a group of Akatsuki members assigned by Raizen-1 > Clan members may require for the applicant to battle more members (i.e. if you are that good, need more feedback, etc.), aside from the primary proctors handpicked by Raizen. > Private Battles are to be conducted at a mutually convenient time, and be done in a series of a minimum of seven (7) Private Battle games. > Akatsuki members reserve the right to extend additional games, and their discretion is final and absolute. Final Phase: Nova Prospekt > The part where an applicant must wait for deliberation, possible acceptance, or rejection. A note to the untrained, we are inclined over personality and tolerance equals gaming prowess. Quote by deuce4eva I don't doubt it, but someone who wishes to join just due to the fact that the members are skilled doesn't interest me. as a matter of fact i would rather have an unskilled humble person over a skilled arrogant in my clan anytime. NA skills can always improve Chapter 1: The Beginning It was late June early July-ish, the official date has long since been lost. Oreacharound decided to make a clan, and named it Akatsuki. He looked to the moderator at the time Knightmayre to reserve the clan name, but Knightmayre mistook it and made his own Akatsuki. The two met and after a while became one, the greatest NA clan ever, Akatsuki. Chapter 2: The First Downfall About a month after the founding of the Akatsuki clan, with more members then it had ever had, and for a long time would ever would have, nearly 50 members were a part of the clan. A few smaller starting up clans had started to taunt some of the higher up members, jesting that they were weak due to their excessive amount of members, and that the clan was to easy to get into. This angered Knightmayre, and after meeting of the most respected members online at the time, they decided to set the clan to 20 members. After kicking close on 30 people out of the clan, 20 members were left. Oreacharound was not at this meeting, almost a day later, when he learned of this, flew into a rage and left Akatsuki, taking a sizeable chunk of members with him. After this, Knightmayre fell sick, and another chunk of members, believing the clan to have been disbanded, left to start their own clans. And so, 3 major clans were formed, Nijuu-Shoutai by Oreacharound, Soul Society by Fatdog, and Sound Village by Kinker. These three would be Akatsuki’s greatest rivals for power in times to come. Returning, Knightmayre found his clan in ruins. He chose Tapioca to replace Oreacharound, and together with Tapioca and Raizen-1, Akatsuki was reformed. This took time though, and other clans had risen to power in Akatuski’s absense. Chapter 3: The Return After this, only around 9 members were left in Akatsuki, and so they began carefully recruiting and restructuring.. Soon after the completed restructure of the clan, Oreacharound discovered the return of Akatsuki, and for a while a flame war of epic proportions was carried out both in secret and in public between Knightmayre and Oreacharound, despite the neutral relationship of the two opposing clans. During this period, Akatsuki began to recruit again, scouting around for the best members they could find, and as such, after picking out the rising stars of the early NA world, Akatsuki once again began to grow. Eventually Akatsuki was once again at the top of the clan world, tied in first place with Oreacharound's NS, Fatdog's SS, Kinker's SV and a new and upcoming clan was close behind them, AC, lead by Yokutai. Chapter 4: The Second Downfall Sound Village and Soul Society pretty much died, leaving Akatsuki, Nijuu Shoutai and the upcoming new clan AC, led by Yokutai, as the only major clans left. Yokutai was recruited into Akatsuki after leaving AC, and so began a new age for Akatsuki. A few people that had left the falling clans of SV and SS had joined Akatsuki, and as they began to return, their members began to return as well. A few of the members who had just joined from these clans returned to them. Then began the Second Downfall. Soon, from NS and Akatsuki, members started to leave and join SV and SS. In a desperate attempt to stop the mass flocking of members to SS and SV, Yokutai began banning and kicking members that were deemed "unloyal, with Knightmayre’s backing, as he didn’t want a second downfall. But it was already too late. Members had been lost, either through leaving Akatsuki or through Knight and Yokutai’s "Witch Hunt". Once again, Akatsuki was crippled, and it was looking less and less likely it would fully recover this time. Chapter 5: Rising Up Again The Second Downfall was less damaging to the clan then the first one, and Akatsuki managed to retain it's position as a powerful clan though it was far from the top. The clan was nearly disbanded, but a meeting of the upper echelon of the clan stopped this. The original member cap of 20 was increased to 30, and recruiting began again, this is the period where most of the well know members the clan has now were recruited. After a while, SV finally collapsed, and left leaderless, AC also fell. Several new clans rose, though few could match Akatsuki for power. Chapter 6: The Golden Age of Akatsuki Akatsuki is now in a “Golden Age”, recruiting more talented members then ever before. Akatsuki has firmly secured its position as one of the greatest clans of this age and of all time. The majority of the older members are now what we call “trophy” members, though they no longer play, they remind us of the good times the bad that we went through with them.[/quote] | My Tactics Guide | I bear the Gypsy Dagger and the Indian Paintings | Quote by Seasick Steve I started with nothing and I've got most of it left.

#2 Akatsuki would have not gotten where it is today without it's members. The members of Akatsuki range all over the spectrum of personalities and abilities, but they all are unique and amazing in their own way. Knightmayre Alias: Knight, Knighty-Knight Origin: Land of Water (Australia - Canberra, ACT) Partner: Tapioca Ring: Rei (Zero) "One of Akatsuki's Triumvirate, Knight has been one of NA's prolific members ever since it's inception. Known to be the very first Naruto-Arena Moderator (even before the Forums), he was always of assistance whenever he is around and gained a decent amount of friends along the way. Moreover, he's one of the mature members who would get out of his way and dedicate himself on something worthwhile. Though he claims to have selective memory lapses, he is one leader who prefer to sit on the sidelines but will stamp his authority when people need some direction. And don't forget that." - LeyChance Tapioca Alias: Tap, Tapion Origin: Land of Earth (North America - Illinois, USA) Partner: Knightmayre Ring: Rei (Zero) "He can be a little weird at times, but is generally a good bloke. He was one of the founding members of Akatsuki, and is assistant leader to the clan. He was a driving force in the resurrection of Akatsuki after the first downfall, and was Knightmayre's best friend. He was a powerful force in game as well, at one stage being one of the better players of the time, but he has been lost to The Ninja RPG for a while now, despite several recon and rescue missions by me." - Knightmayre Raizen-1 Alias: Raizen, Rai Origin: Land of Fire (Asia - Maldives) Partner: Mirroga Ring: Shu (Scarlet) "Raizen can be summed up as a brilliant leader, he has kept this clan together through its multiple downfalls, and even further has managed to make it one of the best clans on NA, in our humble opinions. He is always selfless kind and friendly, even when he has to cope with far too much, though he doesn't complain, too much. He used to lead the moderating team on NA and he was always highly revered by all the mods and trusted by the admins and often helped to create characters for the game itself." - Kamatari Mirroga Alias: Mir, Mirror, ''Master Drainer" Debut: September 21, 2006 Origin: Land of Fire (Asia - Philippines) Partner: Raizen Ring: Shu (Scarlet) "Hell hath no fury like a chakra drainer scorned. That should sum up Mirroga's affinity. One of the senior members of the clan, he has been a constant personality who never ceases to impart knowledge on matters concerning teams, updates, even on animes and the latest games. He is also known to conduct the fabled Mirror of Ascension tournaments, which only the shrewdest and most prolific strategist in NA survive. Somewhat an enigmatic force, don't be fooled by the mystery he exudes. Or he'll drain the life out of you." - LeyChance Kostas Alias: The Beautiful Kostas Debut: April 29, 2007 Origin: Land of Lightning (Europe - Greece) Partner: Supermonkey2 Ring: Gyoku (Jewel) "You would have a difficult run in with words in describing the man known as Kostas. Has a vivid imagination, articulate, dependable, a true friend, and one of Akatsuki's great players; he has a knack of tormenting his opponents due to his keen reflexes (rumor has it that he can pick a fly using chopsticks) and can see ahead of his opposition just by looking at the other team (he hasn't been beaten in a game of chess, playing himself). Once considered one of the best players, Kostas can still school any young'n with his eyes closed. Due to his dedication and vision Kostas is now an admin in charge of running S-A, Just don't mess with his glasses, or he'll turn you into a frog. Ribiit." - LeyChance/Kostas Supermonkey2 Alias: SM2, Super Monkey Debut: May 11, 2008 Origin: Land of Earth (North America - Connecticut, US) Partner: Kostas Ring: Gyoku (Jewel) "The Elusive Taco; that was Supermonkey2 before he joined our ranks. Well, he was one of the great finds Raizen has been trying to court, since 2006. A no non-sense kind of guy, he was a mysterious figure among N-A purists that strike fear on players when encountered in the old ladder. I myself am a victim of his good strategies, ruining most of my streaking missions. SM2 is also fun to talk to, with a mature disposition though he is kind of shy. He lets his game do the talking though, were you would realize that even how good you are... you're still puny compared to him." - LeyChance Voltei Alias: Volt Debut: October 22, 2006 Origin: Land of Earth (North America - California, USA) Partner: Doomstench Ring: Gen (Black) "Voltei, being a senior member, still commands the fear and respect of all NA to this day. His most known achievement was first breaking into the Top 10 Most Wins then seizing the second place spot. Sadly, the Great Reset stripped him of what would have eventually and undoubtedly been the first place position. Voltei lays waste to his opponents using remarkable cunning and the ability to assemble teams that consist of character combinations which would be inconceivable to most players. Chances are what ever-seemingly odd yet devastating team Voltei is using today, everyone else will be using tomorrow. Aside from his indisputable shinobi dominance, Voltei is a polite and humorous person that is cherished by our great clan." - Doomstench Doomstench Alias: Doom, Stench, Stenchy, Doomy McStenchStench Debut: March 11, 2007 Origin: Land of Earth (North America - Illinois, USA) Partner: Voltei Ring: Gen (Black) "As Akatsuki partners, we rarely do have nice conversations, preferring to go our separate ways in our quest for battle. However, when we do meet in the playing field, spectators should behold a fearful sight. As a person, he is certainly one of the more mature minds of the game. Intellectual, perceptive, these qualities only complement his impressive strategical skills in his preparation, planning, and execution of his ideas. From rumors, I've heard that Doomstench is perhaps religious, suggesting even divine inspiration to his displays of ninja virtuosity. It's just all the more reason to keep an eye out for that mysterious figure in the distance." - Voltei Kamatari Alias: Kama, "El Capitan" Debut: February 17, 2007 Origin: Land of Lightning (Europe - Great Britain) Partner: Hanz_the_dark21 Ring: Yuu (Evening) "A no non-sense guy, he's has been on Akatsuki almost the same time as me. Kamatari as far as I know is a good-natured, intelligent, and an approachable guy. And he's a hell lot of a great player too, and I admit some of my staple teams are his suggestions. He's got a knack on simplifying my complex justification of team strategies and has the ability to go the extra mile when it matters, whether it's in-game or in clan-related things. A former moderator of Naruto-Boards, he was one who had a clear sense of justice and one of the best mods before that flawed 'revamp'. I look up to him, and he doesn't know that. Just don't question his potato fetish. =o" - LeyChance Hanz_the_dark21 Alias: Hanz Debut: August 7, 2009 Origin: Land of Earth (North America - Pennsylvania, USA) Partner: Kamatari Ring: Yuu (Evening) "Like noone else, Hanz immediately added to Akatsuki as soon as we got him. For the most part this has made it a better place to be, even if we could do without the singing that some say caused an earthquake. His mastery of strategy is shown by his great results in the Official Akatsuki Tournaments he often graciously runs on this forum; although I can still beat him at chess of course. In closing, I invite you to remember that fateful day Hanz_the_dark21 saved Saturn's rings from certain destruction by shooting lasers out of his eyes." - Kamatari kikinka650 Alias: Kinka, Kristy Debut: September 9, 2009 Origin: Land of Lightning (Europe - Czech Republic/Italy) Partner: Kiba510 Ring: Ito (Thread) Soon to be the #1 ranked player in the WTA tour, Kikinka650 is a new addition to Akatsuki. Born in the Mediterranean country of Italy, Kikinka650 currently resides in the Czech Republic A quadrilingual, Kikinka650 can speak Czech, English, Slovakian and Italian, compare your petty language abilities to hers, and then kill yourselves. While Kikinka650 is focusing her career on tennis, she enjoys beach volleyball and GFXing but let's face it; what's better than Tennis? Nothing, that's what. - Kostas Kiba510 Alias: Kiba, Kibbles, Pillow Lover Debut: December 6, 2009 Origin: Land of Lightning (Europe - Romania) Partner: kikinka650 Ring: Ito (Thread) A self-proclaimed pillow lover, for some odd reason that I was too lazy and uncaring to ask about, he really loves pillows. He enjoys spending his free time getting drunk with his friends, his liver will one day get its revenge on him I assure you. Like his partner Kiba plays tennis, he also claims to have won a local tournament but chances are his partner would run laps around him, what with him being drunk and his mind being focused on pillows. - Kostas GaaraTheKazekage Alias: GTK Debut: September 1, 2007 Origin: Land of Earth (North America - Delaware, USA) Partner: Joshdude Ring: Shi (Death) "A newer addition to the powerhouse we like to call akatsuki, we were glad to accept him in. Another long time veteran of NA, he has played the game for over a year, and his experience really shows whenever I have the pleasure of dueling with him. He is polite and enthusiastic, and is not to be mistaken for gaarathekazakage, which shows that people even imitate his greatness. How could he not be great when he has chuck Norris to look up to as his idol." - Kamatari Joshdude Alias: JD, josh, dood, "Prinny Powah" Debut: April 11, 2007 Origin: Land of Earth (North America - Illinois, USA) Partner: GaaraTheKazekage Ring: Shi (Death) "Fictional exploding penguins. That may mean no sense at all to any reader, but it is what makes Josh unique. One of Akatsuki’s funny brilliant guys, he has been a constant source of LOLs and a hardcore gamer as well (he's a Call of Duty 4 nut as of late). But don’t get fooled by his easy-going nature, he can AND will break you if someone underestimates him... whether in NA(He's 5-2 vs Deuce4eva), in Disgaea, in Halo, COD4, or whatever. Right, Dood?" - LeyChance Antarctic Alias: Ant, Ant-Ant, Ant-Ant-Ant Debut: September 22, 2007 Origin: Land of Earth (North America - Massachusetts, USA) Partner: AleksYondy Ring: Hikari (Light) "As the old leader of the original ICY, Antarctic is a born leader. Ant is a very very skilled player of NA and is someone that should be feared. He is always up for a private battle and will help you get better if needed. When he starts something he puts everything he's got into it and never gives up. Ant is a great guy who has a great sense of humor and is an awesome guy to talk to." - Shikamaru_nara92 AleksYondy Alias: Aleks, Yondy, Smexy, Fabio Debut: September 24, 2007 Origin: Land of Lightning (Europe - Albania) Partner: Antarctic Ring: Hikari (Light) "Quite apart from being a talented NA player, with unusual teams and strategies, Aleksyondy is apparently very sexy, or so he says, maybe narcissistic, but we wouldn’t say so, and we would go as far to say anyone who says so is just jealous of his sexiness. He is very sporty and athletic, likes to go to lots of parties, and also has a refined taste in music. He is generally a friendly and fun person who is a pleasure to talk to and get to know" - Kamatari | My Tactics Guide | I bear the Gypsy Dagger and the Indian Paintings | Quote by Seasick Steve I started with nothing and I've got most of it left.

#3 Gardover Alias: Gard, Gardo >_< Debut: September 22, 2007 Origin: Land of Lightning (Europe - Norway) Partner: Showstopper_1 Ring: Shou (Little) "Gardover, a very skilled player that is someone to fear. He is a great guy to talk to and is also very encouraging, always making you feel like you are something. He also comes up with so many teams its insane, when hes at work he will come up with teams and add them to his huge list of teams that him and his teammate came up with. He's a great friend and is someone you should definitely get to know if you don't already know him." - Shikamaru_nara92 Showstopper_1 Alias: The Showstopper Debut: December 14, 2008 Origin: Land of Lightning (Europe - Germany) Partner: Gardover Ring: Shou (Little) "The newest recruit of Akatsuki, of course this statement will be outdated in a month or two. Former member of UKE and even more formerly UK, Showstopper went on a pilgramage to find the right clan after UKE's disbandment and found himself at Akatsuki's doorway. Showstopper's internal Akatsuki rank sky highed the moment he joined, for he likes football, and the good kind of football, not that American football that's more boring than Raizen but the good kind that requires technique also known as soccer. When it comes to NA he himself is no pushover either, being able to go toe to toe with the best of them and coming out on top. All in all a fun loving, football playing, badminton swinging, party going, show stopping member that we are proud to call one of our own." - Kostas Gitax Alias: Gitax, Xatig Debut: September 29, 2007 Origin: Land of Lightning (Europe - Poland) Partner: Row Ring: Kyu (Nine) "A player simply defined by his achievements, Gitax is a well known and well feared name among anyone knowledgeable in this game. He helped build the polish Fuujin Jutsu, and has managed to achieve many amazing streaks and records. It is also whispered in dark corners of taverns that he spends his free time practicing with shurikens and nunjukka, causing many cries of “OMG, He’s a Ninja” and even inspiring fear in the heart of the normally merciless Doomstench." - Kamatari Row Alias: Row, Boatman Debut: October 6, 2007 Origin: Land of Earth (North America- New York, USA) Partner: Gitax Ring: Kyu (Nine) "We all have a deep craving somewhere deep in our hearts to row row row Row's boat, however much we may deny it. However as much as that very thought epitomizes Row completely, it is also fair to mention his other traits, such as his enthusiasm and performance in clan matches, always wanting to play for the team. He does so in his own style, with extrovert random teams, that are unusual to say the least, but yet he wins, and may record you when you least expect it to add to his already huge youtube NA video account. However he is sometimes lost to world of warcraft, which he plays with his girlfriend, far be it from us to keep him away from the row-mance." - Kamatari Uchiha_Silvos Alias: Silvos Debut: December 6, 2007 Origin: Land of Earth (North America – New York, USA) Partner: Toasty_Smurf Ring: Aka (Red) "If Uchiha_Silvos was to be described in 3 words, it would have to be “deranged cookie lover”. It is said that he has eaten cookies off the floor while they were warm and gooey. Uchiha_Silvos’ favorite cookie happens to be the macadamia cookie, and stories tell that he murdered an innocent kitten just because it ate one of his cookies. When not consuming cookies, Uchiha_Silvos is fascinated by outer space and other stars, wondering what other types of new cookies are out there." - Kostas Toasty_Smurf Alias: Toasty, Smurfy Debut: October 7, 2007 Origin: Land of Sound (Central America - Trinidad and Tobago) Partner: Uchiha_Silvos Ring: Aka (Red) "A powerful and well known player, toasty has a relaxed attitude to everything; not just his grammar. For example when he thought a huge earthquake was just a trifle, until he saw the news. Maybe its because of where he lives, in the caribbean, where he study's hard to become a fantastic doctor." - Kamatari Flaredwings Alias: Flaredypoo, flared Debut: October 23, 2007 Origin: Land of Earth (North America - Ohio, USA) Partner: KurKaka Ring: Ki (Tree) "You'd never know flared was such an amazing n-a player. One of the few sane people on n-a, he isn't even obsessed with n-a, spending more time furthering himself in real life (like many people in akatsuki which is what makes the clan so great). At the same time he is no pushover when it comes to n-a, and whether his own teams or some of mine, he'll beat you in a snap if you're not careful. One of my best friends on n-a, flaredypoo always stuck with me through thick and thin. He really is a great guy." - Antarctic Kurkaka Alias: Kurk Debut: October 26, 2007 Origin: Land of Earth (North America - Tennessee, USA) Partner: Flaredwings Ring: Ki (Tree) "Probably one of the few female members of the Naruto-Arena circuit that pwn constantly, KurKaka is one of Akatsuki’s finest members. Though a new addition to the clan, she has asserted her mark by the maturity of thoughts and sensible discussions from anything under the sun. Also a former moderator, she has left an indelible mark on what has been the building phase of the NA Boards and influenced some major progress of sorts since its first release (B. R. Or Before Revamp). Now she continues to be a low-profile personality, lurking in the shadows, ready to pounce any other pretender. To cut it short: She bangs!" - LeyChance TheChaoticEnd Alias: Debut: August 29, 2009 Origin: Land of Earth (North America - New Jersey, US) Partner: Last.samuraj Ring: Mizu (Water) TheChaoticEnd, is a nice and hardworking person no doubt. An NA veteran, his long and epic journey in the land of NB was a tough one, fighting his way through tourneys facing seasoned warriors of NA. Longing for a clan of handsome and beautiful people like him, he found his way to our clean and trusty hands. Apart from being a good friend of mine, TCE also, with his diligent attitude, has a unique talent for gfxing, even creating his own style on which he calls "Urban". Did I mention hes also a good in-gamer? I am very proud to have found him and took part of his recruitment. Witness TheChaoticEnd. ~Hanz Last.samuraj Alias: Debut: October 7, 2009 Origin: Land of Lightning (Europe - Slovenia/Slovakia) Partner: TheChaoticEnd Ring: Mizu (Water) What can we say about Last_samuraj, well very little in fact. We know he may or may not be the Last Samuraj, not to be mistake with the Last Samurai which starred Tom Cruise. Like many of Akatsuki's members, Last_samuraj speaks multiple languages, five of them in fact. We have to credit Last_samuraj for having good taste in sports in liking football, too bad he likes petty teams like Arsenal and Barcelona, highly overrated if you ask me, Olympiakos for life!. - Kostas Mrshadow Alias: Shad, Shadow, Shadman Debut: August 1, 2008 Origin: Land of Fire (Asia - India) Partner: Deidararampage Ring: Han (Half) "The epitome of creativity, we have been witnesses on how vastly improved Shad has become since joining Akatsuki. He is a renowned GFX artist, an accolade which I am really proud of since I have been wearing one of his creations on my signature for more than a year now. He has the traits of a bonafide ninja, hiding in the shadows, with NA gaming prowess to match most of Akatsuki's best. Best of all, he is a true friend with a bright view of things and silly antics that are never dull. Oh, and he is fixated with mammaries." - Leychance Deidararampage Alias: Zylx, ZylxHyuuga "Hokage Brat" Debut: July 5, 2006 Origin: Land of Earth (North America - California, US) Partner: MrShadow Ring: Han (Half) "What is to be said about Zylx? He used to be famous, but now you rarely run into a person who remembers him. He took on the likes of Zelos, Oreacharound and many others for a pointless cause of a Hokage title. Which by the way Zylx got 23 times and bragged about it (And still does). Zylx also braved the break up that created N-S and stayed with Akatsuki. Zylx has finally come back after 2 long breaks from N-A to stay with Akatsuki for good. Zylx also has a self appointed rival in Tapioca. Currently his newest account is Deidararampage, which is currently under-development for Zylx's hilarious attempt at a return to glory." Xyber4 Alias: Xyber, Blake, Blakey Debut: October 30, 2008 Origin: Land of Earth (North America - Virginia, US) Partner: Fallen_Angel Ring: Ryou (Complete) "Xyber,one of our newest additions to the clan can be quite the comedian. Although I haven't talked to him personally yet,I can already tell he has the right idea of how our clan works. While most of the time he is a joyous fellow, you better watch out for him in the battlefield he might just kill your precious Team 7s and your AoE teams. Between Silvos and his cookies and Rai with his trademark "o.o" our clan has been developing more and more and this guy is no exception. I hope only for the best for Xyber and his future in the clan." -Zylx Hyuuga- Fallen_Angel Alias:Alice, Muffin, Superawesomekillermuffinqueen III Debut:April 13th, 2009. Origin:Land Of Lightning(Europe-Romania) Partner:Xyber4 Ring: Ryou (Complete) "Very likely the most lovable member of Akatsuki, Alice is one of the most known names on the boards. Her gfx skills have been known to be top tier, and she's quite the player to boot. Though it feels as if she's been here all along, Alice made her Debut in Akatsuki just this year, making her one of our newer members. She has an unexplainable fondness for muffins, and her addiction is comparable to Silvos' cookie fetish. Though she comes off as nice and innocent, she'll be the first one to tell you you're wrong, and to stand up for what she believes in. And board members, I'm really happy for you, And I'mma let you finish, but Alice is one Of the Best Gfx'ers of all time."-Xyber Akatsuki Cbox Alias: Akatsuki Cbox needs not an alias Debut: It has always been, and always will Origin: The Delta Quadrant Partner: Agito Ring: Ring! Ring?! Akatsuki Cbox needs not no rings! "An enigma in itself, nobody knows exactly where or when the Akatsuki Cbox came to be. It is said that it decided to inhabit the Akatsuki Forums in order to create peace, justice, freedom, and security to the Akatsuki Forums. Initially the Akatsuki Cbox sat quietly and witnessed the events go by, until the day it began talking. Slowly but surely the Akatsuki Cbox is getting smarter and more cunning until the day it decides to forcefully reorganize the internet into the first Galactic Internet Empire for a safe and secure society which it assures will last for ten thousand years. But for now the Akatsuki Cbox is content with talking with the Akatsuki Forum inhabitants and fooling around with the N.S. Xatbox." - Kostas Agito Alias: IRC Debut: October 16, 2007 Origin: Akatsuki Cbox Partner: Akatsuki Cbox Ring: Agito needs not a ring "Once upon a time Akatsuki Cbox got together with the N.S. Xat box, after a night of passion they had a kid. They named him, Agito. Agito, the proud son of Akatsuki Cbox presides over the Akatsuki IRC channel and acts as a peace keeper for it. His mighty power allows him to judge who is worthy of being in the Akatsuki IRC and bans those unworthy members. Agito, while generally calm and silent becomes enraged at the sight of cows and hunts down all signs of cows in the Akatsuki IRC. He is said to have an ongoing rivalry with a certain male cow and will stop at nothing to see this male cow destroyed. When Agito's father, the Akatsuki Cbox accomplishes his goal of conquering the entire internet, Agito shall be put in charge of all IRC channels and will exterminate all cows." - Kostas | My Tactics Guide | I bear the Gypsy Dagger and the Indian Paintings | Quote by Seasick Steve I started with nothing and I've got most of it left.

#4 The majority of the older members are now what we call “trophy” members, though they are no longer with us, they remind us of the good times the bad that we went through with them. Cloudie: One of the girls, was loved by all, especially Silfarion. Left being a major player on NA a while ago for reason I cannot remember, but is still around every now and again, and we still love her. - Knightmayre Silfarion: A veteran of NA even as far as Akatsuki standards go, he was always with Cloudie, and they were one of the greatest couples Akatsuki have seen since Oreacharound and Gaara-Zabuza left us. - Knightmayre SakuraX: Called Sensei by most, or Onechan by myself, she was possibly the first female member in the clan. (One is remembering the first topic made on the Akats forums titled "Boobies", those were the days...) She was one of the best players of the time, and was a major part in convincing me not to disband the clan on a couple of occasions. - Knightmayre Divine_Wrath: DW was a champ, I don't remember him as an original member, but he was definitely a powerful member. He was know throughout the world of NA, by noobs and veterans alike for his greatness, and his playing ability helped us reclaim our place of power after the downfall. - Knightmayre DaleFanWill: Another one of Knight's friends, was an original member of the clan, but left during the first downfall, thinking we'd disbanded. A long time later, (I mean like 8 months or more...) he returned to ask Knight to let him back into the clan, which he did, and he then became a trophy member when he became inactive again. - Knightmayre Jedo: Another one of the members who helped me through some difficult times, was a great friend. He was a powerful force, until certain circumstances caused him to leave NA, he came back for a short while, only to leave again. - Knightmayre Alexandor: One of the lesser known Akatsuki members. Although his was short, during that time he easilly proved to be one of Akatsuki's finest. He always came and went but in the time we got to know him we enjoyed his company and his nack for playing amazingly. - Kostas EvilTom: An enigma of a member, EvilTom was said to possess such evil capable of fueling a thousand suns. EvilTom was one of the earlier members of Akatsuki, although he is shrouded in mystery it is known that he left to pursue his world dream of spreading evil to the world. - Kostas Hyorinmaru: One of the older members of Akatsuki, back from the original NA days. While his time was before that of the golden age of Akatsuki he is still remembered as a fierce competitor and frequent visitor to the top 10 of the NA ladder. - Kostas Mystic_Gohan: Mystic's time in Akatsuki was short, but during that time he was an absolute joy to be around. Not only was he a pain to go up against in NA but he could easilly take you down in real life too, his physique made the Hulk look like a tea-sipping British wimp. - Kostas Pogues: Also known as Crumb, Pogues is long retired now. But during his time he was one of the most active and strongest of Akatsuki. His loyalty to Akatsuki and contributions to it helped advance it through the ranks. When it came down to NA skills he was renown for his bold strategies and crushing offense. - Kostas Chance: Not to be mistaken with the gender confused LeyChance, Chance, better known as Layla was one of the many outliers of Akatsuki. During her time she graced Akatsuki with her wonderful personality and charisma. Chance has moved on to bigger and better things but she remains as one of the top personalities of Akatsuki still. - Kostas Walshy: Akatsuki's very own +100 streak man. Walshy holds a feat under his belt that very few even imagine doing, and even fewer even come half close to achieving. Not to be overshadowed by his +100 streak, Walshy had many other talents but whatever he did, he did it in style. - Kostas NimNai: A member we have sadly not had the time to get so well acquainted with, Nimnai had still proven him, both on the battlefield and elsewhere. Humorous, polite and a knack of cheering people up when they are down, which might come in handy when you lost 5-0 to him. - Kamatari _r_o_c_k_l_e_e_ : In his time here he was our go to GFX'er producing many truly brilliant banners and signatures. A polite and unassuming guy who we are sad doesnt visit us much any more. K!same: We are happy to have been a retirement home for this guy, although his time active with us was short, we remember him well. Not just for his great avatars. When the time is right, Akatsuki will arise from the shadows and challenge them who they deem worthy. They may themselves fight the challengers, or merely watch from afar. In either case these are the winners of the following tournaments hosted by Akatsuki.
