So, until we make a decision on the whole Discord issue, should we keep this OOC running so we don't lull to a stop? An active OOC makes for an active RP - or so I've been told. Who is your favorite and least favorite character in the manga/anime?
I told you that! Anyway, I don't think the Discord will be happening.
About the characters. You already know this, but the others might not. Favourite: Zabuza! The ultimate bad guy, he has the sword, he has the aura, he kicked the shit out of the coolest ninja we'd seen so far. He even had a very satisfying ending, best bad guy 4 liff. Least favourite: Old grumpy flying kage. I get it, you're old. Also, I get that someone thought that we needed more references to Dragonball, but flying? No thanks.
If i had to choose one, my favorite would be Shisui. Least favorite is undoubtedly Danzo.
I always felt like Shisui was the unlucky "second fiddle" to Itachi, the one who could've been truly great if he'd only been given the chance. It's a real shame, he had some really cool things going for him. Also, Danzo is a true butthole.
@Halvtand TL;DR. Sorry, but I've never seen anything good out of someone replying to every sentence with a paragraph. But for the last part 'is it close enough': kaiten. Yes. Of course it's close enough when you have one of the exact techniques.
Well, that was quicker than I thought. I'd love to keep this up, but you know what they say, huh? Don't feed the troll. Follow the golden rule.
I'm not sure that the length of time you've been roleplaying directly translates to stubbornness, unless there's some magical difference between ten years and fifteen. XD
People vanishing for weeks at a time is something rather concerning.
Anyhow, I'm baffled that your least favourite character is A, of all people. Pretty minor role, all things considered.
I didn't say that it did. I was always stubborn and lazy. I think it amounts more to maturity than it really does to experience. Back when I started out, I was just a little kid. Back then, I lived for the games - both RPs and actual, you know, videogames. Now I'm adult with kids of my own and this is something I do when I have a moment to spare. Sometimes, that amounts to several (OOC) posts a day. Other times, it means I disappear for a week or two because I just don't have the time to spend on something that actually consumes as much time as roleplaying can. I think that's the difference. I really understand now, that people have lives and roleplay on the side, instead of having a life on the side of their roleplaying.
.:EDIT:. Oh, and I dislike A's entire concept, which makes his relatively small part in the series irrelevant. I dislike the character, not his role.

Fair enough, but I get suspicious about people just dropping off the face of the Earth. For a lot of things there's not going to be something outright preventing a heads-up--and that's not an intensive task.
Hey there, I might be jumping in with er... an Uchiha. Who um, looks like this, is a missing-nin, and has settled in Hikaemena to pursue his true dream. Cook the ultimate spicy chicken wings.
(And yes, he uses the Sharingan to copy...recipes.)

That's an interesting concept. Reminds me of that filler episode where the ninja kids use their techniques to make the best ramen in the world.
WIP. I still need to detail every technique. Blargh.
Yuki
General Name: Uchiha Yuki Age:24 Gender: Trap Male Sexual Orientation: Bisexual Personality: Yuki strives to be a rather encouraging and supporting person, always offering a kind nudge or advice (sometimes unwanted) to those he feels they need to. He is a particular trespasser of personal spaces aswell. A rather calm and easygoing person, he likes to savour the small things in life and of course, he is completely in love with cooking in general. Food and serving people his dishes is what he strives for in his life, as well as getting a decent loving wife (or husband, he's not that picky in that regard). His devotion to cooking is so strong, it can even ignite a fierce competitive and single minded focus in him, up to the point of absurd ploys. Yuki is not above jokes and japes, and he also has a mischievous teasing streak that flourishes sometimes when he's particulary bored. Yet for all his easygoing, trickster nature, the Uchiha legacy never parted with him. Yuki doesn't like to talk about his past, and any mention to it can send him brooding and somber. Even as though as he dislikes it that much, Yuki doesn't run away from his sins or responsabilities, and if fighting is needed, he will strive to be as competent as possible, shunting down his own emotions if need be.
History: Yuki was born in the proud Uchiha clan as the coddled second son of a couple. Ever since he was young, Yuki's sense of taste was above the norm, and he was fascinated with all the spices and food that his mother cooked. He always loved food, and he too, tried to enjoy cooking. However, this was a no-go for his domineering father, who was apalled at how his girlish son was taking more and more feminine traits, and he forbad him from even attempting learning to cook food. In an effort to overcompensate, Yuki's training was harsh (as he had a rather skinny body) and spartan, and while he disliked every second of it, it bore spectacular fruit when he managed to perform fireball techniques even before graduation, and be one of the top members of his class in shuriken and kunai use. Yuki's demeanour back then was stoic and serious (with no small amount of brooding), and coupled with his analytical nature, made him be prematurely selected to become a Chuunin at a young age. This however, was not all because Yuki's talent, but the threat of the war urged Konohagakure to bolster their numbers in all ranks.
The war was hell for a young Yuki. Friends he lost. Foes he rendered mercilessly. Yuki's deceiving looks often played in his favour, people mistaking him for someone weaker only to be overpowered by a surprise shuriken or ninjutsu barrage. Eventually, the enemy forces wisened up to his tactics and decided to ambush him in close quarters. After his own teacher perished before his eyes to seemingly invincible opponents, Yuki awakened his Sharingan, which bolstered his already impressive technical knowledge, allowing him to copy other people techniques and survive. However, the war left a profound scar and disgust on Yuki's soul. He had also been forced to kill his own teammate and possibly lover best friend, victim of a rather pernicious kinjutsu (which as a side effect, upgraded his Sharingan in a Magenkyo Sharingan). The smell of blood became nauseating, and the thoughts of fighting as a shinobi for an entire lifetime began to weigh heavily on his soul. After accomplishing his duties in the war, he simply abandoned his household, days away from being awarded a Jounin promotion, and wandered for a while, seeking a place to mend his tortured soul. He wanted to try cooking and food, not being a shinobi like his duty commanded him to. Not to mention all the secretive revolutionary mood that had struck his clan after the war.
Hikaemena village was rather welcoming for such a lost soul, and they didn't ask too many questions about his past, so he decided to do a fresh start there. At first serving food in a local stall, to owning his own stall and eventually his own restaurant, the Fire Fan, Yuki found a new calling on his life (and also escaped the Uchiha purge). And yet... he also became some sort of unofficial ninja advisor to young and elder souls who sometimes blurted out their worries within his earshot. After all, it would be irresponsible to deny his blood-stained past.
Ninja Information Birth Village: Konohagakure Current Village: Hikaemena Rank: Chuunin MASTER CHEF Ninja Status: Missing Nin. Sort of? He isn't practicing as Ninja, but as cook. Teammates: N/A Sensei: Probably some random emo Uchiha Nindo: "Exact Revenge on our enemies" "I shall cook the ultimate chicken dish!" Chakra Element: Primary is Fire, Secondary is Wind. A slew of minor abilities on other elements due to the copying abilities of the Sharingan. Weapon(s): Iron Fan, Shuriken and Kunai.
Fighting Style: Yuki's fighting style can be described as mid-range, with an emphasis on throwing projectiles and ninjutsu, as well as ambushes with the aid of ninjutsu and genjutsu. While he can do taijutsu somewhat competently, he is aware his physique doesn't allow for very penetrating punches, and his stamina is rather moderate. Strengths: Yuki posseses a rather varied and diverse set of abilities in Ninjutsu and Genjutsu, with Fire being his main element, Wind being his secondary, but he can use other releases, aswell as copying techniques from the enemy. He has excellent kinetic vision, and aim and as such he is a natural with throwing techniques. Weaknesses: However, his Taijutsu while having his highlights, such as a good reading ability and reflexes, is rather mediocre when compared to actual experts, likewise, most of his ninjutsu won't work on extreme and long ranges. Abilities/Techniques: Basic Academy Techniques. Magenkyo Sharingan. A bunch of Fire Release Techniques from the Uchiha Wind Release Techniques (mostly related to send razor winds with his iron fan, and possibly using said fan to levitate with wind). Shadow Clone. Shadow Clone: Meido Style. (Basically Yuki creates a bunch of shadow clones in female maid outfits to man the entire restaurant and help him wait the tables.) Fire Release: Shadow Clone (Likewise, he can imbue a single shadow clone with fire so when it goes poof, it can discharge a flame burst on an opponent. This technique however, is very costly in chakra). Earth Release: Double Suicide Decapitation Technique (A spoil of the war he copied with the Sharingan, he uses it on particulary annoying people). Water Release: Hiding in Mist Technique (a spoil of the war he copied with the Sharingan) Lightning Release: Thunderbolt (While nowhere as powerful as his main Element, nevertheless it can work as an ace in the hole. Also a sharingan copied Technique). Temple of Nirvana Technique (A rather peaceful powerful Genjutsu, he uses it outside the war to soothe anxious people). Demonic Illusion: Death Mirage Jutsu Sharingan Genjutsu.

A Quick Survey
A few questions for those involved. Your opinions matter! Communication is key.
How often are you comfortable and able to post? Twice a month. I'm a pretty lackadaisical poster. Keep me interested and it can go up. Do you think there should be a post limit ? (I.e: a number of posts before you post again). Yup. Couple of them. What would you like to focus on? (Action, drama, character development, a combination of things). Anything but hardcore PvP. I dislike PvP in general. Any other notes? I always like a couple of goofy highlights, even in the most serious of RPs.
@AtomicNut FYI your dude is exactly the type of dude that my lovely little hunny bunny Haru-chan would sweep off his feet like a princess and ninja-run into the sunset with. Like, seriously. She will be crushing so hard when/if she ever meets him.
.:EDIT:. Also, I once had a Trap Character of my own, who was basically a professional coward.
Right now im doing a little research. Basic concept is a dead-sea ninja. uses water releases / salt releases. Need to look up more information on highly salinated water before I get too into it though. Might possibly be related to above trapninja depending on how things go and how AN feels about the final product. Ye,know?
Though really, I don't think taking over's the best idea.
I might just do my own thing, then. Halvtand and I co-GM'ed a quite similar game a few years back. I might just rip and redo that. Though, it'd still only be if the GM of this one doesn't return soon.
