Oh remember this kind of character being in another RP with the same template, except it had less Tobirama insane explosion jutsu and more Hiraishin and squid summon.

EDIT: Are you someone from the old Naruto RP's? @Seraph

This goes for everyone: Stop using Ninshuu. It was a tool to bring people together, and ninjutsu was derived from it for battle. Stop having random NPC's know this and tell you about it only for you to use ninjutsu for bad things, like killing everyone who ever knew you. Knowing about Ninshuu was from the Sage himself, a long-passed legend, no one else should even really know about this because its that old. So please, stop using it, it's becoming troublesome. No more random npc's gifting you knowledge that has faded from history for what's likely to be thousands of years.

I can rework the history if it doesn't fit. This is what I've got for ya.

Please change his first name. There's an important character within that universe who already held it, I just want to avoid confusion. Sorry.

I'd assume you were being hunted or the word was put out that you escaped with that sword, but its never mentioned again. There is a shinobi in Konoha who worked within the Land of Iron for about twelve years, should he have caught wind about that blade being stolen he'll mention it, and trust you might've managed to earn will be surely hindered. Konoha's not really keen on housing thieves. Also, Konoha and Kiri are not desperate enough to hire mercenaries, especially given they have leaders who recognize the potential dangers of people who can be bought. If you haven't supported the cause of the rebels without money, then these villages will likely not hire you period. You can possibly claim that Iwa and Suna hired you, but you're in Konoha to assist with the revolt when the time comes. Kumo is in a bad spot right now so I didn't mention them. Just also going to point out how well your character adjusted to blindness, didn't seem like there was much difficulty overcoming it ...yeah.

As for your traits, I wouldn't expect a samurai to have a 'massive reserve' given their manner of fighting isn't entirely dependent on it. That, and we keep seeing massive reserves from people who already stuff their characters skills to the brim, and it comes off as obnoxious after a while. So given you have so many other skills of your own, we're asking you to compromise with us by removing a 'massive' reserve and to just have an average one or less if you're feeling humble or creative. We also ask that your 'chakra sensing' be removed. You can already see people with your mind and are sensitive to vibrations and energy(which can be chakra too) apparently, so please remove sensing and just base your awareness off of that. If you have another alternative that you feel is fair with that, let us know, but we're not comfortable with all of that.

Remove Ninshuu knowledge.

Remove Five Elements Seal and Unseal. Given your already considerable moveset and 'skills' we feel that restricting someone else's capability to fight back would be too hindered if you had gotten this off. You could almost effectively shut down anyone long-term with one move. You already have: "incredible speed, reflexes, agility and strength. His stamina and endurance are outstanding, and all the beatings in his life have led to a frightening durability. He is conditioned well and rarely fatigues." which means you're capable of fighting fine, so why hinder someone else's abilities when you have plenty to go off off? It's a little much.

Please edit "Senkaijin One Billionth Revolution" to block appropriate attacks. Piercing believes it shouldn't block any ninjutsu, and I can kind of agree with him considering your character isn't immobile and has a lot of attribute strength, so a shield isn't making up for anything and almost seems unnecessary. So an alternative could be that you can block weaker techniques like C rank things if you feel you need to, but the vagueness of 'deflects most powerful attacks' leads us to believe that you're just prepared to block anything you want. If you were a very immobile character this might be acceptable, but you've made your point that he is a highly capable swordsman and has multiple advantages. You're too capable of shutting down the ninjutsu-heavy characters at little to no cost to your own, and after all the hype you've given we don't see that as 'just'. So, block C-rank techniques and below with throwing projectiles involved, maybe lower it to B-rank to better make sense, and also remain stationary as a drawback to this? It's a VERY sensitive technique idea that we've basically seen already, you're not the first one trying to make himself immune to things with a vague shield. Believe me when I say we're tearing people a new one about that.

Fix this up, let us know when you do, or just pm one of us with concerns if you have it. Everything else should be alright.

I'm confused... How can some people have more than one kekkei genkai? Or have their character be the strongest genjutsu user who has ever lived and have an IQ over 180 (which would need to be roleplayed and unless you actually have that kind of an IQ, it's gonna be hard and unrealistic) or have a jounin know tons of Kage [S] level techniques?

I'm pretty sure Kishimoto doesn't have an IQ of 200 like Shikamaru does. XD

That genjutsu character you're worrying about won't be fighting, so it's nothing to worry about.

And which characters do you mean have more than one KG?

I think it depends on if you can justify it. For example, my character seems like she has more than one kekkei genkai. In reality she has one. The second is a natural evolution that came about due to a combination of her kekkei genkai and her genetic material. The third is a branch evolution, which manifested as she grew up due to how she was raised as well as her disorder.

For the S-ranks, I think it is a question of IF you can justify it.

-shrug- It isn't particularly hard to RP it out in my experience. The majority of the issues enter in when combat is involved, which Ra won't be involved in, so it's not too bad. :)

EDIT: Mei Terumī has two Kekkei Genkai. Ra got her Chigoku Inkan through extensive surgery that left her incapacitated for the best part of a year and a half or so. That section of the history was omitted because it references things that can't happen in this universe. c:

Shikamaru is said to have 200 IQ but their standards are probably different from ours. A male with 200 IQ would have extreme social anxiety as after 140 IQ points, the social capabilities of a male starts plummeting. Even if we won't be fighting them it's so unrealistic. And I'm talking about Yakoul, who apparently has the second Kekkei Genkai which is a 'psuedo-kekkei genkai' yet all of the moves are still S ranks.

See, saying that you have a natural ability that gives you more power isn't logical. It's just an excuse. Even if you won't be fighting, you are saying some extreme stuff, making yourself un-defeatable and making the RP really unfair. EVEN IF you're not battling, you're bending logic to make yourself as OP as possible. You're creating an impossible, mary sue character. How does that not bother anyone?

Mei is the mizukage and she's not an RPC! Then we should be able to use Kekkei Touta because people use it in the manga! That's not an argument. You're not playing a main character, you're playing an RPC who's supposed to be on the same level as everyone else.
You are violating EVERY rule of RP.

Well...it doesn't bother me since my character is darn near immune to most genjutsu...unintentionally, but there ya go...

But Ra is incredibly easy to defeat if you understand how genjutsu works.

... Immune to genjutsu? That's not even possible. Genjutsu like Tsukuyomi are almost impossible to get out of even if you do notice it. Just because your char understands how to cancel a genjutsu -and most jounin do, INCLUDING Kakashi who knew that the Tsukuyomi was a genjutsu but still couldn't cancel it- doesn't mean he's completely immune to it. It means he knows how to AVOID it. Like not looking into a sharingan user's eyes.

o_o

It's... Not a natural ability? It was given to her through surgery? o_o

If you think that any character is undefeatable, you are sorely mistaken. Every character can be killed. Ra is no exception - even if she was fighting, it is not difficult to kill her. I don't see how I'm "bending logic" at all. She is /not that powerful/. She is also certainly not a Mary Sue. o_o

o_______o

That makes no sense. It isn't impossible to be immune to genjutsu, and your follow up to that statement does nothing to back up your claim. o_o

It does, but we've laid out the terms. If its proven that it was the wrong choice, we'll remove them or ask them to consider something else. It's not just one person trying to make themselves OP, other people are guilty of trying in more subtle ways. And some not so subtle. We're on top of it.

One: My character is autistic, one of the symptoms she suffers from is that she doesn't LOOK at anyone she is interacting with, that includes fighting, unless they catch her attention specifically.

Two: She fights out of her peripheral vision, and supplements with her summons, and her heightened awareness. Just because she is not looking at you or acknowledging you, doesn't mean that she can't see you.

Three: Her summons are Hornets. A Hornet is immune to genjutsu, as are all insects.

4: She's a Bijuu.

What I'm confused about is why you're spending so much time harping on everybody's characters when we have two very competent GMs to do that already.

-Goes back to doublecheck template-

Fun Fact: IQ is not a full measure of intelligence. Generally speaking, IQ only measures verbal and mathematical reasoning, and is really only good for predicting who will do well at strictly academic tasks. It does not measure creativity, problem-solving ability, interpersonal abilities, or pretty much any higher level thinking. Also, IQ is only relative to your age group. For example, a 10-year-old with an IQ of 200 is still not as "smart" as a 21-year-old with an IQ of 110. IQ has been embedded into pop-culture as a quick and easy way to say, "this character is smart," while the real significance of the number is actually being called into question. With that said, a person with an IQ of 200 will probably be damn good at math.

People who have autism tend not to be able to harm others so how would she be fighting? Being a bijuu doesn't really have anything to do with genjutsu unless she has the bijuu under control and if you say she does, that'll just be you proving another one of my points. You do realize that her fighting capability would be reduced drastically if she didn't look at her opponent, right? Also, I'm asking this because I don't know anything about insects being immune to genjutsu: Where does it say that they are immune?

IQ measures the analytical part of the brain but it doesn't change the fact that after 140ish IQs, your social capabilities start to drop. (The IQ test you took on the internet doesn't count)

... What.

There is not some fabled mythical "equality rule" that states all characters must b of an equal power level. o_o

RPs are not limited to one rank of Shinobi. o_o

You are seriously out of whack if you think that having a powerful character is "violating every rule of RP". You make a lot of wildly extreme points without actual evidence to back them up. You don't give any reasoning for what you say, but rather you make anecdotal points on the basis that your claim is true rather than seek to prove that what you say is true. I'm not sure how we can have a constructive discussion about anything if you're essentially screaming "I'M RIGHT AND THESE ARE POINTS THAT MAKE SENSE SUPPOSING I'M RIGHT."

Yeah, I'm done with this conversation. We can resume when you've read what I've written and started being rational. o_o

IQ measures the analytical part of the brain

They actually don't measure any part of your brain. The absolute best that IQ tests can do is measure a specific set of skills in a very narrow range of testable categories, which is why they aren't a full measure of intelligence. They tend to focus on mathematical ability, because they came about right after Sputnick launched and the United states was investing enormous sums of money into the sciences. The US government wanted to find out what soldiers would be good at performing tasks that would help them win the space race (ie, math and science) and so they catered the exams to do just that. They are good predictors at this very narrow range of intelligence, but actually neglect most of what the human mind is capable of. Of Gardner's multiple intelligences, IQ tests can measure two: Verbal and Mathematic. They cannot measure Visual, Musical, Kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, Naturalistic, or Existential intelligences, all of which it is possible to exhibit various levels of analytic ability in.
