I'm still trying to figure out how to incorporate any ideas into a character, I mean my animal loving side keeps drawing me back to the idea of a ninja stuck in the form of an animal due to an accident during training. The problem is how would they pass their exams or use jutsu without hands.
Tbh I don't think that's gonna fly in the naruto-verse. The only comparable thing is the effect of sage mode on someone who is untrained, but that actually turns you into an animal, like a dumb, no consciousness animal.
However as The Silent Z said, there is plenty of precident for partnerships with animals. Dogs, cats and insects being the three explicitly shown, but it would stand to reason that some other clans exist with similar partnerships. Obviously it's not my call but from the vibe I'm getting, this is a RP that mirrors the canon at its early stage. So off the rails abilities and forms are out of the picture, including, I assume, stuff like perminant animal fusion.
