Just keep in mind as far as he knows, she's a dude.

Hot Springs trips gonna be mighty awkward lemme tell ya.

Tried to keep my statement as gender neutral as possible because I didn't know if he would know that or not...

Secondly... Tsuyoi as almost certainly checked her out at some point, guy or not. Ryu's kind of cute for a guy after all.

To be honest, I completely assumed that she was a guy when I first saw the picture and name.

@Bright_Ops The only person alive who would know is kinda Missing-Nin. So, as far as anybody is concerned; she a guy.

@Dirty Dan This made me laugh much harder than it should've.

@Jasonhero

Hah, it's true though. Nice picture-finding skills.

I am curious about one thing, however. Do you have a method for choosing who is on whose team? Like, do you plan to split us up depending on strengths/weaknesses?

@Dirty Dan I do, yes. But I don't wish to share it.

It's cool, I do not need to know. I was just wondering if there was a system.

This is a placeholder and is not finished yet.

@Jasonhero Currently working on a character, and definitely still in this.

EDIT: By the way, is there a specific age our characters should be? I think the average graduation age in canon is 12, but some characters here are around 14-15 years old (which I actually think seems more age appropriate for one to become a Genin). So should I make my Genin 12-13 or 14-15? I know it's a bit nit-picky, but I'm just curious.

@Halvtand Your body flicker, like the original, cannot be used in combat because it seems to enhance your speed. If it is changed to where he is just hidden in a swarm of insects, that'd be fine.

Substitution (Normal and your bug), must be prepared beforehand in combat. This is only so we don't have a fuckton of autododging. Because that is stupid. But, if you prepare it in combat, unless you do it obviously then the other person doesn't really have a way to notice it. So if they do, then I'd step in and be like 'Nah'. Just something for you, and everybody here to keep in mind.

Overall though, aside from what I've mentioned it seems good so far. Look forward to seeing the finished sheet.

@MonkeyBusiness Finally another fucking chick. Now Ryu can live out her lesbian fantasies! Kidding, but I generally like diversity in an rp. XD.

@Jay Kalton Good to hear!

I believe @caliban22 is creating a female, as well. Diversity is nice indeed.

And I made my character 14-15 because I still think it's pretty stupid to send 12 year olds into a potential war/danger zone, trained or not. As proven by Naruto, no offense to the guy, 12 year olds are a bit too immature at times, and considering the fact that this AU takes place in a war-tense timeline...

@Jay Kalton Just noticed the second part. I generally suggest 12-15, with 15 being the 'Holy shit you graduated late' end of the spectrum. I know somebody here is 16, which is honestly weird as hell as that is the age when people tend to start looking into becoming Chuunin.

Why 12? Because they're still young enough that while immature, it is easier to shape their mindset to be able to handle killing.

Hm...that is true. I don't know, I guess the personalities/decisions made by the canon cast sort of made me cautious? Although, if it's all fine with you, I'd like to change Tetsuo's age down to 14. Wasn't sure if he'd be graduating late if I made him 15 or not, haha.

Good point. Thanks though, I better go and finish my character!

@Dirty Dan Sure man, go right ahead.

@Jay Kalton Probably a good idea!

Cool, thanks. It's edited.

By the way, everyone, if you'd like to be friends/enemies/frenemies with Tetsuo, feel free to tell me. He's a very competitive spirit, lol.

@Dirty Dan my CS could use a friend...feel weird saying it like that but oh well.

@Jasonhero Edited it and "completed". Give me an hour to fix some thing further before you review pls!

@Thecrash20 I am going to point out a few things here.

1. Mitarashi clan doesn't actually have a Kekkei Genkai. The snake summonings are related to Oorchimaru, who doesn't even exist in this universe. So I'd need a good reason how your character learns it. Not to mention, the clan which you are using is associated with the Fire Release, so why would their KG rely on the Lightning release? Furthermore, the Thunder part of it isn't anywhere in the canon, meaning you created this custom KG. Which as I have stated in the Interest Check, which you were apart of, must be pm'd to me beforehand and approved. However; I do not approve this KG. Considering that you state it gives the ability to use the Space-Time Jutsu of summoning snakes. Space-Time Jutsu is; 1. Extremely high-level, most techniques are around 'A' ranked for Space-time. 2. Is not a Kekkei Genkai trait, and has nothing to do with the summoning jutsu. Furthermore, snakes cannot conduct electricty terribly well, so it just makes no sense to even exist.

Therefore, I will not be accepting this Kekkei Genkai.

2. Read my rules. You have it listed that he is a Genin, which is what the rules say, then in your background turn around and say he already took the Chuunin exams and graduated to Chuunin? Thats against the rules. You all start as Genin. The Chuunin exams come later in the rp, and there is still no guarantee that you would even pass. Fix that, and read the rules.

3. Your lightning limbs technique is basically a more advanced version of Chidori, which is an A ranked technique as is. You're a Genin, you can have C rank as your highest technique. Your lightning limbs is an A ranked, minimum.

4. Lightning Serpent Strike, to be the level you stated, would have to be about the same power as the Lightning Beast Tracking Fang, which means it can't kill on its own. But stuns rather effectively.

5. Running lightning along the snakes to make a ranged attack is pretty complex, making that technique B ranked. So you can do it once you reach the rank of Chuunin.

6. Why did your character and his mother leave their clan? Literally abandoning their family because their father died in an unrelated incident? That... doesn't make sense.

Overall: Your character is not accepted at the moment. I will need you to correct what has been stated. Meaning;

* Remove the KG outright.
* Fix the rank issue and backstory so they both make sense.
* Fix and adjust your custom techniques.
* Give me a good reason in the backstory why you know the summoning snakes technique.
