Probably too strong, but this is what I have at the moment for a girl with genjutsu so powerful it kills.

I'm not sure if Indra was clear about this when you were working on this concept, but we're not accepting reincarnations or jinchuuriki at this time. So the premise of Mu's backstory is very much contradicting this. I think this misunderstanding could've been avoided if Indra made that clear in the rules or questions about such a high concept brought to the GM staff's attention prior to you spending time writing up the idea.

On top of this, we are not accepting “??” ranks. Indra is asking for prodigies to have three C ranks at the most, so anything higher will immediately be subject for application rejection. So if you are going to revise Mu keep that in mind. I'd also like to mention that we are starting as academy students and not genin; even if graduation is around the corner.

The ??? ranks were mostly because they're must the means of utilizing genjutsu. Since I don't want to get hyper specific with what is essentially illusions that can change depending on the setting.

As for the reincarnation thing, it's a split personality. She's not actually a reincarnation. Those of the Kurama clan with superior genjutsu power all form split personalities, and the clan believes these split personalities are their ancestors, and thus the personality takes after that belief.

I can adjust her abilities concerning all this. Thank you for the heads up.

So you're saying that this genjutsu can not only insta-kill anyone it touches and effect all 5 of the senses, but that you can change the type of illusion cast at will? No matter how you slice it, this genjutsu is broken and doesn't even really follow genjutsu rules in the first place. While the tendency to require highly specific genjutsu techniques is a hassle that we as gm's are trying to figure out(seriously, do we need a whole jutsu slot just to change words on a sign) that doesn't mean you can just pull this custom one out of your ass that has absolutely no real counters(It would be piss easy for her to just hide somewhere to avoid getting hit for the duration of this jutsu and that is not okay) then lock it all up behind some split-personality seal and call it a day. You could have it so she has to perform a ten-minute Raindance to use and it still wouldn't be anything close to acceptable for a jonin character, much less a genin. Speaking of that split personality. . .

As for the reincarnation thing, it's a split personality. She's not actually a reincarnation. Those of the Kurama clan with superior genjutsu power all form split personalities, and the clan believes these split personalities are their ancestors, and thus the personality takes after that belief.

I can buy this, even though I'm 95% sure that isn't how split-personalities work, it's somewhat thematic and adds some culture to the clan. Doesn't even come close to being a good excuse for her to be as powerful as you are making her. Not in the slightest. You see, I want you to look at every other app on the OOC, and I mean really look them over. Then, I want you to look at yours. Prodigy or not, she is of a level of power that is frankly ridiculous for what we have here. A character her age isn't going to be killing a chunin, much less any of the Kage. So when you go to tweak the abilities, you need to crank that power dial back. Like, alllllll the way back. No ifs, ands, or buts.

Also, don't use the split personality as a limiter, because it's not a limiter
When playing a character with multiple personalities, the obvious thing is that all of them will be on show sooner or later, so no matter the perceived difficulty that switching to that persona takes, it comes off as a very flimsy self-limitation that can be broken rather easily from a writing perspective without any form of growth of character whatsoever. If you want to tie abilities to the alter ego, consider this "Would this ability be acceptable if it was on the regular persona?" If yes, then go ahead. If no, then chuck it away for possible use later when your character actually grows into it.

Personally, I have a few more points I want to touch on, but they're best saved for the actual review. This was just a bit of advice so that when you've reworked her, she gets a fair shot of getting accepted like everyone else.

Jutsu limit for prodigies is 3 C's, a few D's, and the academy techniques. I'm not sure if you were aware of that limitation, but it is a very hard limit that would need a much, much stronger case then "locked behind a split-personality" to get through.

I hope you found this advice to be helpful(despite it being somewhat ramblely) and I thank you for taking the time to read this.

@Jay Kalton @The 42nd Gecko

Both of your characters meet our requirements of what we want on the roster. You may move them over to the characters tab accordingly.

For everyone else? Well, there will be reviews proper explaining what we want to see adjusted and so forth so it can be completed to a level we are comfortable with. We will review in chronological order, so keep that in mind.

In conclusion, I really like the ideas behind this sheet and think you have an interesting character here, one that is still in love with the fantasy of being a ninja, despite the current trends. That's something no other character really brings to the table and makes her an excellent contrast to others we have in the running. That said, the implementation of all your ideas needs to be reworked, specifically in terms of her abilities and her motivation to be a ninja. The whole incident doesn't make too much sense upon close inspection, so I think choosing something more focuses on helping people aspect(perhaps one of her family is a ninja and inspires her to help people) would work better for the sheet as a whole.
Sincerely,
Raijinslayer

Essentially, there are a lot of key issues that you need to address in your next revision. I've worked with you in the past, so I have full confidence you'll be up to the task.


This one took some proofreading, but I'm still not sure what to tell you about this sheet, Blade. It needs a lot of work. Right now, I'd love to have Bakuto on board but he just isn't a sound concept yet. Work on it and get back to us.

In conclusion the areas that need work are:
1) The backstory needs some revision, largely surrounding the mind research
2) The conceptualization section needs to be expanded to show what you plan to do with your character in the future
3) The custom techniques need some adjustment

Here's my review:

In terms of personality you came clean because you followed the lore of the Kurama Clan, their dual personality shenanigans is creepy and it turned me off but it's alright because it followed the lore. You're my bro Ref, please do me a favor and redo your entire sheet and here are the things you need to understand; many people suffer because they lack knowledge and idiocies like that lead to bad circumstances. Let it sink in that as the GM of this RP, I don't give preferential treatment towards my friends in real life and even in RPs.

The things we need to correct and facts I need to lay is the lore of my universe.
1. Unlike the canon Naruto. This RP does not play with reincarnations, Jinchuriki, Rinnegan, Tenseigan. To quote on quote a friend of mine with my inserted emphasis:

2. If you have read point 1. Please proceed to this checkpoint and I will reiterate it again.

I simply do not accept reincarnations because it ruins the development of a character and to an extent those in their social circle.
Reincarnations are the most absurd trope I have encountered in media because all the hardships that a character would go through won't mean anything at all. Same goes for the vessel bullshit, it doesn't work in my universe because it also equates to reincarnation. Please let it sink in your mind for a second that Kakumei is a Naruto RP that patches up the wrong and go with the logical route.



Backstory
Of all the crazy baloney here aside. Don't argue with me about a baby that can kill a Kage, I find it absurd and they won't be able to and I repeat don't argue with me about it because once everyone's sheets are accepted. My GM Team and I will answer everyone's favorite questions; power levels and history. The Kurama Clan in my rule of grounded; they possess a Genjutsu that affects the five senses. Period. Don't argue.

Moving forward, this will be your starting point and I have given you this consideration to think on how a Kurama's genjutsu abilities should be. I suggest that you be creative and create your own custom techniques. I trust you because not everyone have the balls to take on a challenging concept like illusions. If you are able to fix this problem, the rest would follow.

To tell you the truth, abilities more than often explains the character. However, I do not want the abilities to define the character. It is the character that should be defined.

Keep in mind that we are in a time of peace. There's little to no conflict, why? That is because Uchiha Satoru, the former Police Captain of the Military Police Force is the Hokage, he is the 12th Hokage. Satoru is the equivalent of President Rodrigo Duterte of the Philippines, he gets shit done and he wars on crime and makes sure that there is little to no crime. That is why Konoha in-universe is ranked as the most safest place to live because of Satoru's achievements. Furthermore. Satoru is the strongest man in the entire village. He shouldn't be worried about a little at all.

I believe and suggest that Mu has lesser control of the second personality which could be a bonus plot point to her backstory and how everyone in her social circle treated her. No reincarnation BS.

I don't have control in your backstory but please get rid of the reincarnation. I can suggest to put on a twist: Mu can be made to believe that she is the reincarnation etc.

Personality
It comes hand in hand with the backstory too. This is my take, please elaborate her personality more. I need you to make her more human but nevertheless I trust you in your ability to write a complex character. Honestly I never thought that the Kurama Clan replaced the Uchiha' batshit craziness in this universe, the fact that the Uchiha here are less emotional and not crazy. So good one.

In a nutshell. We need you to make a character, it doesn't have to be a complex one and I believe you can pull it off. I am motivating you to do better alright!

Conceptualization
In a nutshell. Mu is the typical Ojou-sama who hides her emotions and all. I see where this is going. Please proceed neatly. You got concept right. As for the second personality, it's okay. It's just that we don't accept reincarnations.

If you want a good example, go watch Elfen Lied or ask RaijinSlayer because he is the expert of batshit crazy OCs.

Triple T's
I am fine with it.

I need you to create custom Genjutsu techniques. I am gonna have to reject part of current techniques altogether because only Uchiha can use it.

My verdict
Polish your sheet and focus more on the character which follows up the backstory and techniques. I am here to motivate you and not demotivate you.

The fact that you're eyeing for a prodigy alerts me and pushes me to have high expectations. So do your best from here on out. The only thing I need you to do is re-do your sheet and come up with a better backstory, concrete personality and better techniques.

Alright. I am dropping some reviews here in my own accord but let's proceed.
@FourthKing


Review
I really like Shikkaru and you have given me nice ideas that concerns his growth therefore I commend you for your effort for making him.
I will PM you the stuff we need to talk about along with my Team because your character is well received by me. I have lesser things to say because everything I wanted to see is detailed. But here are the things I'd like to talk about ASAP, I'd like to utilize everything I have in mind:

Please make that restaurant a thing in-universe, make it popular! I like that idea. Other than the typical Ichiraku Ramen hangouts, I want you to make this thing a thing!

I like to talk about the sister too, I'm all ears. The fact that I want her to be in a relationship with Arata's older brother or some sort of whatever relationship. It doesn't have to be romantic! They could be Genin comrades too. Reason being, the sister has potential for a relevant NPC in-universe.

His dad.. I dunno what my Team would say but we'll PM you. The bro can wait because my mind is blank.

Post your sheet in the tab.

Your sheet is too neat, too clean and I like it.
