I'm not a GM either, but I would say that the GM's seem to be wanting us to have characters that are actually Chuunin level. And by that I mean realistic Chuunin. Not plot armor chuunin like Konoha 11.

In the base of this world, Genin have barely fought any other shinobi except in rare cases. And if they do, they usually die. New Chuunin are shinobi that are just beginning to take missions that bring them into combat with other shinobi. So the most powerful a character can be in this regard is borderline Jounin. The number of jutsu and skill in this character seem to indicate Naruto levels of power as a Chuunin.

That said, I adore the format you have going. It looks gorgeous. The character also seems really interesting as well in terms of story/personality. Though I'm not sure it is entirely realistic for a Jinchuuriki to be sent away from the village...more likely they would be imprisoned or have the beast extracted to put in someone more loyal.

Not a GM so this all up to Halvtand and Mad Hatter. I would suggest though looking at the two approved characters and trying to be more equal level with their strength.

thank you very much! okay, you can take another look at it.

i edited her history to take out the jinchuriki bits and gave her a more general rason for being cast out, and i also took out most of her lightning jutsu.

i kept the custom ones because i feel like they arent too powerful really. they are just manipulated tools soo...

now what do you guys think?

edit: also found a cool looking villiage symbol we could use.

Okay! Let me begin with saying, I've been in a large amount of NRPs, different types of RPs as well not just forum-based, and one thing I've always ran into was the balancing problem where some people were OP af and others were just kinda trash. So in my experience I learned its best to throw all the ideas you intend/want the character to have and just let the Mods/GMs nerf it as they see fit, so from the start I expected this to get shot to shit I figured I would just let you see the direction I wanted her to go in.

I'll start with my Jutsus/Chakra-based stuff. Doton is crossed out because I intend for her to have it later, but as of now she doesn't have the ability to use it simply its what her base Chakra nature is. I'll remove the Genjutsu so scratch that off. The B-Ranked Jinton technique which allows her to create a magnetic field around her would be what she uses to control those unwieldy circle Shuriken (link added to give you an idea of what I imagined when I thought it up.) along with her fan and any other metal objects she can get in contact with, I also intended this part “the massive disc-shaped ones that are completely round featuring a fully sharpened edge on all sides evenly which makes these impossible to wield by hand without resulting in self-harm” more in terms of how Sasuke/Naruto and various others are constantly seen catching/throwing or wielding the massive Shuriken and Demon windmill Shuriken as just a weapon where as if these get thrown at you, you are not going to catch them without losing a limb and its best just evade which ties in with her whole poison thing. The part about it being faster than most people run I intended as a kind of escape/mobility tactic but she's restricted to only levitating a bit off the ground (flat surface) so she can't be floating through trees chasing people and over water (maybe later as she gets stronger). She would levitate a bit off the ground, such as Magneto or something would do, and this would allow her to give a sort of straight-line directional burst of speed? Like a queen in chess, she can just launch herself at a high rate of speed and reposition either in or away from the fight or something of that sort. Its not a long term travel technique where she can magically just fly 500 miles away or some stupid crap. There are no real Taijutsu techniques well because she doesn't have any, yes she is a Taijutsu specialist (like TenTen I guess? Or Zabuza?) but they don't exactly use fighting like Might Guy or Rock Lee, its more a proficiency with their weapon/hand-to-hand combat and since she has unique weapons I figured that was the best tab to slap it in. Later on I'll probably develop some Nintaijutsu if I can think it up.

Onto her background I guess. In the way I imagined the story going about, her mother never actually witnessed her father's death but according to the other men (his friends potentially) they executed him for being generally dishonorable. I left it on a cliffhanger because it gives me the option to either just say nope he's definitely dead, or maybe bring it up as a later plot/villain/situation or something. I find its best to leave a few loose ends to keep your character less solid feeling. Continuing on her background, mainly with the Sunagakure/Amegakure knowledge. I figured her father would've had leftover recipes in his house, maybe even extra vials of poisons while her mother still being alive can simply share with Miyako the knowledge of Amegakure, or what little she knows considering she was only a Chuunin herself when she was exiled. Since its so broad and unexplained, I'm not going to do anymore than I already have with them. Got some advanced Poison knowledge, maybe random bits of each cultures history others may not know but mainly I just wanted to fuse the Sunagakure and Amegakure poison-specialists into one character and then apply those to her advanced weapon use. In a hypothetical situation where she would be as strong as like a Kage, she would have exact control over everyone of her weapons and since they all would be applied with poison it kind of makes her extremely difficult to fight, considering one cut and you're boned.

As for the specialty skills, I would enjoy a Shisa/Komainu summon as I think its pretty unique but if you feel that it adds too much roundness to the character perhaps I could place it under like a to-be-used-later asset? I'll remove the Sensory asset unless you feel I could keep that :D (probably not though)

Does that help clear the air a bit? I'm not trying to be like RAH THIS IS MY CHARACTER YOU'RE KILLING HER because I totally knew that somethings would be removed from the start. I tried just keeping the base of what I wanted my character to do (Long range throw poison weapons person with Magnet shit) and then added a little extra to her for variety. I won't bother changing the CS until I know what's cool and what needs to be nixed. I hope I didn't miss anything.

Looks better to me. That said, Chidori is a jutsu that hasn't even been invented yet? I'll let the GMs tell you what they want on that, but looks a lot better. At least to me.

Well, from the whole insecure personality deal, I thought she wouldn't take it up on herself to lead the others.


Haruka is obsessed with be strong; stronger; the strongest(!) and she will do anything to achieve this goal (read Special Traits; Will of Steel). Being insecure (as she is) is a sign of weakness and a sign of weakness she is not willing to show. She might get mad when told she is clumsy or stupid and she might get depressed when told that real ninja use Ninjutsu, but she will never admit it to the one that has hurt her.
(Actually, I'm adding that to the CS...)

In Haruka's (rather slow (read Special Traits; Not the Sharpest Tool in the Shed)) mind, being the leader is a position of power, being in a position of power means being stronger than the ones that follow you ... You see where this is going? It's all about being the strongest in her mind.

I really Can't find much to bitch about here. Mostly because she's been with us before and has been fixed so many times there's not really anything left to do. We even spend a good deal of an afternoon just talking about her A-rank, so even that's good in my book.


Wait a minute... Something is not right here. You don't have anything to bitch about? This must be a miracle! But yeah, I get where you're going. Your dood seems good, too. (because I totally read it through and not only skimmed it).

Shadowcatcher, about that hitai-ate (forhead protector) image you posted as an idea for Gobigakure no Sato... How does it fit the name of the village (Village Hidden by the End)?

@Njorne;
First of, did you see/read my "critique" of your character? 'Cause I wrote a full long thing about the summoning that you have not adressed...

Also, I realized that I hadn't really looked at your character's name when I went back to look at it again - Please fix it so it is surname first. And... Usagi, as you have written her surname to be, actually means "Rabbit", which I find odd since you have written that the translation is "Beutiful Night Child (of the) Moon". Moon is Tsuki (月), which technically means "month", too, since the cycle of the moon is a month and ... never mind that.
... And when you write a translation of your character's name, you might want to add the Kanji, too, since it can mean different things depending on how you "spell" it. Miyako means capital, too, if written like this 都. It only means "Beautiful Night Child" when written with those three kanji, like this 美夜子.
Also... The Nickname/Alias shes has ... Is it meant to mean "Daughter/Maiden of Suggestion/Hint"? Or "Daughter/Maiden of Difference/Diversity"? Or "Daughter/Maiden of Parallax"? Or...

I am a Marvel nerd, too... I grew up reading the old X-Men comics, when they were still good.
With that said;
Magneto can levitate 'cause most of his body is covered in metal and he uses his magnetic powers to make his armor (with him in it) levitate and can only "repel" things of metal (since he can just move it away from him). Originally, at least. When it still made sense. Just saying...
The magnetic field of flying/levitating and shielding is not really possible. First of all, magnetic fields do not protect anything from physical harm. They can protect against radiation (technically), but nothing physical. She could, perhaps, repel anything metal by making a magnetic field that makes any metal objects that touch it the same pole as the field (since two poles of the same force will repel each other), but she could not shield herself from punches, kicks or the elements... basically anything not metal.
Going into physics, something like the levitating/launching thing might be possible, though (if we assume that a person could actually turn themselves into a magnet). Like how magnetic trains work. She would have to have something to "launch" herself with, though; something of the same magnetic pole as her own. It would be very hard to control, though.

I think what Halvtand was looking for here were some bukijutsu, which would go under taijutsu.
If you look at my character sheet, Haruka has a "kenjutsu" for her sword, which is basically just a brief explanation of how she uses it.
Haruka uses her broadsword katana, “Seidou (Path of Righteousness)” in a series of slashing, brute force attacks, molding chakra to her feet to stay standing while she swings the sword, due to the weight in the force of her swings.
This is sort of what we want; a fighting style and an explanation on how she uses her weapons. ... ... Actually, I wanted that from Rex and Pasta, too... Forgot that ...
Anyways, using a sword is not just using a sword (I know you don't have a sword), there are many different styles and ways to do it, just like there are many different ways to throw a punch (hand-to-hand combat styles).

....

All in all, if you want to stick with your plan of "Long range throw poison weapons person with Magnet shit", then the rest should be removed.
You can keep:
-Jiton
-Precision is Key
-Poison Specialist
-Bukijutsu (though the "Specialist" should probably go)

You need to lose:
-Sensor Type Shinobi
-Cat-Like Agility ('cause cat's a f*cking psychos with that shit (I have three cats 8D ))
-Animal Companion
-Genjutsu

You need to add:
-Some Taijutsu-Bukijutsu shit

You need to fix:
-The magnetic field of protection technique

Saw this and added a small jutsu/style to my CS. Let me know if approved or not,

"Kenjutsu: Ryuu is an expert swordsman on the way to becoming a master. He has copied several sword styles and works daily to master them. During his training, he has discovered how to unlock the first Gate though he is unaware of the actual name for it. He merely believes it to be speed granted by manipulating his chakra. Ryuu's style of swordsmanship is heavily integrated with his genjutsu. The young man will often use his genjutsu to alter depth perception such as the length, width, speed, or power in the blade. Ryuu's movements are typically very fast and precise for fatal strikes.

Name: Dance of the Full Moon
Rank: C
Summary: A less powerful variant of Konoha's Dance of the Crescent Moon, the user creates two clones before proceeding to assault the enemy, with the clones attacking from the left and right and the user attacking from above. Weaving through the technique, Ryuu will attempt to land a fatal strike. If failing to do so, he will use the genjutsu employed by his sword to make it appear as though one of the clones managed to cut the opponent, tricking the senses into accepting the pain. Thereby making the opponent believe the clone to be an actual threat rather than illusion."

@ChibiYuki

I wouldn't normally say anything, but since you are still working on the CS and neither of the GMs are on I thought I would give you a heads up.

From everything the GMs, have said they want our characters to be Chuunin level (you marked him as Jonin) and be starting in Gobigakure. From what I understand, our characters need to be under Gobi's administration even if our characters originally came from somewhere else.

So just wanted to put that out there before you spent a lot of time on something might conflict with what has already been stated.

Sorry :( I would suggest reading through the rest of the thread so you can kinda have some ideas about the character levels and such they have in mind.

My character was about Sasuke post time skip level when I first made the CS and they asked me to chop him down a good bit. So no worries. Hope it didn't destroy it too much.

Nah, I appreciate (<- thank God for Google) it.
(Halvtand does it all the time, anyways; he actually didn't start out as my Co-GM. He just sorta swooped in on one of my RPs and went "This is how we do sheet" and I couldn't argue with his logic, so I just let him do it; saved me the trouble of being a dick, anyways. That was five or six years ago, I think. We've been working together ever since...)
