“Thank you for tuning in to KNN, today we celebrate the 200 year anniversary of the ACNL Law. Commonly known as the Anti-Child Ninja Law. Not only does this mark the 200 years of progress, but the 100 years of peace brought upon by our innovations in utilizing Shizen Enerugi. These factors have bought a peace that not only our children will know, but one that the entire world will know.”

-Katie Okata 15 minutes before reporting on the felonious activities of Konaha branch of Government-

The Story

The shinobi world as we’ve known it is quite simply no more. The extended era of peace amongst the nations since the 4th Shinobi War has persisted for centuries. This form of unity between neighboring countries has facilitated real change, shifting the role of a Kage from being a warrior leader and instead statesmen and politicians, from the Daimyo and village elders making selections of leadership to the common people instead. At the center of these changes are the precious resource, Shizen Enerugi, and the ratification of ACNL [Anti-Child Ninja Law]. The ACNL is a treaty formed by all the ninja nations to put an end to the centuries long practice of child soldiers.

These groundbreaking developments gave entire generations of children new focuses, ones that centered around academics, ones that allowed for normal lives, ones that reinforced that there was more in this world than just preparing for the next war. This shifting of priorities made the passing of jutsus a regulated process overseen by the Konoha state. Old clans became armaments of the state that saw the succession of their clans not be decided by bloodlines but by the government. Parents are more focused on getting their children into universities and good careers rather than passing down knowledge from the older generations.

However, in this world of peace, the war is still ever present but now it is simply silent. The victims are faceless and the media paints a picture of placid waters meanwhile there was much more going on underneath the surface.

In this world of skyscrapers and city lights most ‘normal’ people tend to focus on themselves rather than what's going on around the world, but that choice will soon be out of their hands. An unavoidable conflict looms and the alliance of the Shinobi Nations is more tenuous than it has been in centuries.


||General Rules||

  • Do not make your character an immortal god who can blow anyone and anything away in one hit with no limitations.
  • Everyone is different and there may be disagreements along the way, however keep it cordial at minimum. If someone's behavior is toxic in nature then they'll be told to leave. I don't foresee this being an issue but it may still need to be said.
  • Know the difference between what you know and what your character knows. You are not your character no matter what kind of extension of yourself is imprinted inside your character.
  • Tailed Beasts are off limits unless you have been given permission by the GM.
  • Don't be afraid to come to a GM if you have an idea you want to try or a concern over the game. Consider this my open-door policy.
  • Have fun! I’ve seen people get caught up in things like who's the better writer or who has the strongest character. We just want you guys to have fun. This is an RPG based on writing not mathematics. Databook ratings are important but not the end all be all. You can be rated lower and still win under the right conditions.
  • The GM has the final say so and I will change anything to the game as I see fit especially if I feel something will harm the positive culture that makes the game fun. People need to be able to express themselves but I will step in whenever I deem it necessary. As James A Jannise would say, "be good people".
  • I think it's important to be flexible and to work with people. So if I say no to something I will let you know if it's completely non-negotiable. We can work together and retool whatever it is that didn't get approved from characters, OKRs, abilities, etc.
  • If I find a trait is too powerful then I will assess it differently than what is stated in the template. I will let you know directly if this situation applies to a trait.
  • Real life events and commitments take precedence over the game. I will not be imposing a rule for posting activity as of now, however that is not to say it will not be added in the future. Just remember to communicate and if it is something private just say so and if you have an idea of how long you will be out just let us know. No other questions asked.
  • THE ROCK LEE RULE - You must maintain at least five points in all stats. The reason being Rock Lee; He is a ninja who can't use genjutsu or ninjutsu but still maintains a score in both categories.

The Land of Fire
Konoha – The Shinobi Metropolis

The Land of Fire has undergone a lot of change; one of the more prominent changes is that it has expanded its borders to assimilate the Land of Hot Water and Land of Sound. The Land of Fire has been at the forefront of crafting cutting-edge technology centered around Shizen Enerugi as its power source. With these advancements the shinobi in not just Konoha, but the entire world over, are on the precipice of becoming obsolete.

As the main source of natural energy Konoha has a treaty with Amegakure receiving unknown benefits from Ame and in exchange giving Ame access to their natural energy source, however this alliance is not without strings as Amegakure must stay in the sky. This agreement adds to the security of Konoha as the aerial vantage point essentially allows Ame to raise an alarm if there ever were an attack.

In spite of the declining state of the shinobi due to these factors, Konoha,possibly possesses the most powerful military strength out of the current nations. They are vicious recruiters of refugees when it comes to forming their lines. They promise low income children, specifically refugees, a chance of a new life as long as they are obedient to the betterment of Konoha. This strategy is in spite of the fact Konoha claims not to be a military state, but rather a menacing military power that hopes to never use its full might.

The advancements in technology has stripped Konoha of its bygone traditional architecture instead being replaced by an industrial metropolis. Even a monument like the Hokage Mountain has been affected as while it retains its appearance there are now lights that dramatically shine upon the countenances of Konoha’s former leaders. The lights make the mountain far more visible than they had been in a previous era. The village is now more of a city, a steel jungle with skyscrapers, high rises, roads, underground train systems, bustling bars and clubs, highways, and even its own slums. This urban reconstruction could not be achieved without the generators created by remnants of the Uzumaki clan. These generators supply power to all of Konoha, even providing welfare for the cities less fortunate by offering affordable electricity.


The Land of Wind
Suna- The Nation of Drifting Ideals

The Land of Wind has been blessed with many natural resources to export but chief among them is Orihalcum, a metallic alloy only found in Fuzenkagure. Suna was able to gain the right of first offer on Orihalcum as the sand shinobi exclusively had the ability to refine the metal alloy based on past teachings of past Kazekages, specifically the Third, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, and the Seventh Kazekage Shinki. This blessing is also Suna’s curse as it paints a large target on the Land of Wind due to the mysterious and valuable properties of Orihalcum. Many of the other shinobi lands, have ever so slyly been trying to get their hands on it by taking adjacent land from Suna. The borders are teeming with conflict and Sunagakure has been hesitant to begin phasing shinobi out as they have what can be categorized as mediocre military power, but they make up for their lack of strength by making leveraging the Orihalcum to create alliances with the villages around them and uniting whatever power they can consolidate together.

The fruits of these alliances had expanded the Land of Wind so it is now made up of Ishi, Kusa, and part of the newly formed Land of Sins aka Fuzenkagure. Fuzenkagure is under the protection of the Land of Wind currently, however, Suna is looking forward to having Fuzen be assimilated into them like its other allies. The main issue with dissolving these three, almost four villages, is the border and land conflicts that arise because of the assimilation. Suna’s goal is to have everyone work together as a collective, just as the Land of Fire, but to keep their individual ideas and way of life intact. However, that is where conflict arises, there is only unity on this shaking bridge called ideals.


The Land of Earth
Iwa- Strength in Solidarity

On the opposite end of the spectrum from the Land of Wind is the Land of Earth which takes a different approach when it comes to its relationship with the other nations. Iwagakure has forcefully annexed Takigakure as well as the land between Oto and Taki. Furthermore, they have very recently and successfully gotten a peaceful surrender from Shimogakure so they too are on Iwa’s side. Iwa has dominated all aspects of life in their expanded lands, things that are commonplace in Iwa have been extended to their occupied territory. The food, the culture, pop culture, even down to idioms and sayings, all have been infiltrated and replaced by Iwa’s domineering culture. Iwa has been able to sway the hearts and minds of their occupied lands by casting The Land of Fire as a villain, giving the people an us vs them mentality.

Currently the Land of Earth and Wind are on friendly terms, however, with The Land of Wind trying to get Fuzenkagure to become a part of their nation things can change at any given moment. The elders of Iwa have proclaimed that If Fuzen will be under one flag, it will be theirs.


The Allied Nations of Lighting & Water
Kumo and Kiri-The Last Bastion of Pride and Power

While the other big three nations had agreed upon the abolishment of ninja, especially the teaching of children of ninja arts and ways. Kumo and Kiri both agreed that the old ways worked. These two great powers have come to believe the other nations are too radical in regards to change. The system on which both hidden villages were formed is a system that has withstood the test of time making it so both these nations wish to eschew the changing world. They even doubled down, rewarding those that actively become ninjas with financial incentive and land rights. The two allied nations are known for their heavy hand and almost fervent belief in the old system, even if it comes to the detriment of their people.

The citizens of Kumo and Kiri live in blissful ignorance believing that it’s possible to not worry about shinobi politics or the potential changes in their way of life. They hold steadfast to the traditions of prior eras. Those who agree that the ninja creed of old should be upheld usually don’t see young shinobi as child soldiers, but rather as vehicles to pass on teachings, and to as protectors from any and all outside threats. Those on the other side, think of the nation they live in as barbaric and not understanding the times.

However, no matter what the people see, all the other world powers see The Land of Lighting and Water as a potential threat. Especially Konoha, who sees Kumo and Kiri as blatantly disregarding progress for their own “outdated” thinking.


Fuzen- Ravaged and Torn
Fuzenkagure Leader: Haku Minami

Not being a part of the big nations has left the once small and yet capable village, as a shell of its former self. Fuzen is the birthplace of the mysterious metal alloy, Orihalcum, which Suna has used to reap massive profits. Due to their exclusionary agreement Fuzen only supplies Suna with the metal which they in turn refine and split the profits over. With that said Fuzen lies on a cornucopia of other bountiful natural resources that it sells proportionally more to Iwa in order to not upset them. No matter who controls the territory, they will see a massive rise in wealth.

In this world of peace, there is a secret war to try to weaken the land. Those who live in Fuzen are now just displaced people trying to make a living. There are a high number of orphans and those displaced from the border skirmishes. The ‘relief’ effort to support this burgeoning land is more akin propaganda and political intrigue as other internal proponents of Fuzen try to get the citizens to want to side with one of the bigger nations. There are legit efforts to do well and rebuild especially from the clans that originated there, but with constant attacks it seems as though a band aid on a gaping wound. With the weakening of their belief in their founders, The Minami clan, the people of Fuzen just seem tired.

However, some people are tired of being tired. Fuzen is growing an emergent rebellion force to combat the other nations, almost to the point of terroristic acts. Those that are captured are extremely loyal to the cause, only stating “We will take back what is ours with fire and blood.”



Amegakure
The Terminal in the Skies

The Land of Rain “Tranquility Among the Skies” Ame has surfaced to the world in more ways than one. With the aid of technological advances throughout the years, Amegakure is the first village to make its breakthrough of becoming one with the skies. Ame is a flying fortress that glides through the skies of the world endlessly. With 4 ports around the world: one in Konoha, another in Suna, one in the remains of old Ame, and the final one in Iwakagure. Ame upholds a progressive belief on the ninja world. Ame has seen a lot of investment from Suna and Konoha as it effectively serves as border control between the nations. This has effectively created an alliance between Konoha and Ame as well as Ame and Suna. These alliances are separate but necessary for balance as Konoha provides the power source to keep Ame afloat and Suna contributes the special alloy that is nearly impenetrable but incredibly light allowing for Ame to literally stay afloat.

In return Ame has agreed to never let the city touch solid ground again and has also agreed that it will never form a formal military. Ame has an open borders policy and their elevators have allowed for easy travel between Konoha, Suna, and Iwa. Ame tries to maintain neutrality not wishing to draw the ire of any of the world powers. Allowing technology and advancements to pair themselves with old traditional beliefs.

Due to Ame’s status as a trading hub between nations its citizenship consists of the ultra elites and wealthy politicians, while the less fortunate are stationed near the exhausts and propellers of the village, exposing themselves to a more uncomfortable form of living. The only way to transport itself to the village is through an aerial bus. They are a mercantile village and its citizens are recognized as Sky Vagrants. They travel the world and most people go to sell and purchase their rare wares here. Ame is a village that garners its fair share of gossip, it’s by far the most technologically advanced group sustained by a myriad of world powers, drawing its energy from the natural source of chakra that the world naturally develops. It is rumored to be one of the bastions where criminal syndicates congregate, among these syndicates the most powerful is The Table. Politically, they are considered neutral, their loyalty more for the highest bidder than any particular country, although some say that this mentality is a veil to something more sinister.
__________________________


The Table


“ On behalf of our High Council, we welcome you to this wonderful organization, we welcome you to The Table.. We hope that this letter finds you in good health and that you continue to provide your services. To those who have been recommended by friends and family to join us, we greet you with open arms. We hope that you enjoy your time working for us and that your talents will serve the high council for years to come. However, to those that...have the unfortunate luck of being indebted to us, we hope that you work hard. As you know freedom isn’t cheap, nor is a human life. As always, treat your fellow mercenaries with respect, and please...Do follow the rules.”

High Council

The Table is an underground criminal syndicate run by an enclave simply known as The High Council. They are made up of 6 powerful crime lords, each with a history spanning over thousands of years. They are people that don’t need to demand respect as they are simply given it as birthright.

How to get a Seat?

You can join The Table in 3 ways, be born/raised into it, some High Council members sometimes adopt children and raise them in something akin to a finishing school. All those that make it to the graduation ceremony are rewarded with membership, and as is often the case in a hierarchical setting, grander privilege.

As the High Council sits at the head of the table it’s members can give those outside The Table a recommendation to join without a need for a graduation ceremony. It is simple as a High Council member giving you their seal, however it is not simple to earn said seal.

The last way to join The Table is the least fortunate of the options, reserved for those who become “Indebted”. Life has a price, from the moment of your first breath to the moment of your dying breath. Everything is quantifiable for the Table, even life can have someone somewhere put a price on it. If you are indebted, then until the Table has stripped you of everything you are,were,and will become. In most cases, some people are born indebted, sometimes babies are given to the High Council and are raised used as collateral for death.

How to be excused from The Table

If you are born into it, then it is very complicated to leave, for you have to revoke your blood, your name, and your history. Family, friends, and even yourself, all must die (figuratively of course). You are left with the wealth you have ascertained for yourself and you can even be granted a new name, a home even, but once you leave you leave. The currency with which to get your seat at the table back is of grave consequence.

Recommendations can go whenever, however, but as is the modus operandi of the Table they too must pay. A leaving fee, a price made from using services such as weapons, jutsus that they taught you, neutral grounds, living arrangements, and sometimes, even companionship. The Table doesn’t like losing bodies, unless they demand it and as such the leaving fee will require blood for blood.The Indebted can not leave until the debt is paid and then the leaving fee is paid. Or, they can get someone to pay for their debts. A debt passing paperwork can be made as long as both parties consent.

Manners at the Table

Once you choose a meal, finish it, doesn’t matter how, doesn’t matter when, and doesn’t matter who you bring in to help. Finish the meal that you are given or risk being seen as ungrateful. The Table does not take kindly to ingrates.

A meal can’t be taken off the table, unless a proper payment is deposited. Payment must be equal to or more than what the meal cost, those are the rules. Of course High Council members have the right to ignore those rules…

The Table does possess hallowed grounds where no blood shed is allowed to take place. These edifices are generally upscale and have a rather inconspicuous sign that says ‘Please Take A Seat’. Those who do not respect the sanctity of these neutral sites will be immediately expelled from the Table and will suffer the full might of the High Council.



Angel Text is an amphetamine that unleashes the berserker within unleashing the most demonic impulses of a human. It’s an underground drug for those who can't properly mold chakra, so that they may stand at the same level as someone that perfectly mastered it. The body’s natural limiters are erased, allowing the user to surpass any previous limitations that have been placed on them.

Angel Text gives the user the complete feeling of euphoria, the more the user is attacked, the greater the euphoria and the greater the mania. The body’s pain receptors are for lack of a better term, misled, giving the user a sense of pleasure and happiness rather than pain. This is needed because after the limits are released the user is basically tearing up their body.

Though as is the natural order of things everything good comes to an end. The after effect of Angel Text is where the true price for a transient moment of strength is had. The user will experience what is undoubtedly the worst pain in their life, the complete inverse of what they felt before. The only way to block out this pain is to take more angel text. It is not addictive, but to combat the drawbacks it becomes a necessity.

Angel Text has become very common in the “hired hand” business. Those who can handle the after effects are looked at as upper rank in contrast to those who can’t handle Angel Text and are called “fake rankers”. To be able to tolerate Angel Text is a badge of honor to its users, it means they earned the strength that comes from Angel Text. Those who can not tolerate the after effects are thus “fake rankers”. Fake rankers are identifiable by their necks, as they’ll have puncture marks at or near their jugular veins. In the most extreme cases people can get Angel Text Rejection Syndrome [ATRS], where the body basically explodes from the chakra overflow.. It's quite easy to determine the cause of death from ATRS as the blood vessels look as though they were ripped out of the body.

The Progression System: Objectives and Key Results

The point of the OKR system is to surface your goals and make them visible to the group so that we can all help each other achieve those goals. We don’t want people to feel as though they are just going through the motions in their little world. We want to promote interaction and teamwork and that is where OKR comes in. These are goals that you wish to accomplish over a set amount of time and are open to everyone to either chip in and or help out in. Anything that can drive your story can be considered an OKR. Based on what you submit to the GM team we will assign points based on the difficulty, creativity, and collaborative elements, if any,to your OKRs. You will get points for simply attempting your OKR's but must complete it for maximum point gains. In turn you use the points from your OKR's to upgrade your character's stats, purchase jutsu, and traits such as weapons, Kekkai Genkai, special abilities, etc.

I will __ as measured by __.


Some major examples can be:
  • I will gain more experience as a shinobi by going on a B-rank mission.
  • I will learn Rasengan by going through a 10 post character development arc.
  • I will raise the star limit of my swordsmanship perk by completing a 5 post mini-arc


Certain ones will be reach goals that'll be longer and have more key results attached to them. So if you wanted Sage Mode that would be the objective. Then we'd work out what some strong reach goals are for the character and RPer to achieve that objective. Further examples could be:

  • My character will gain more friends by interacting with this many characters
  • I will obtain the Magenkyou Sharingan by killing a loved one.


This is something new so don’t be scared to ask questions and cooperate with one another to help accomplish the goals that you’ve set together. Players will also get rewarded for helping others with their OKRs as well, which range from stat bonuses, skills, or even perks. As a final note every OKR will have to be approved by me before it can begin.

*Not all weapons have to be traits. A GM will look over the weapon and deem it as such if it's too powerful or if it would cost an exorbitant amount of points. Standard weaponry like shuriken and kunai doesn't need to be inventories just don't go overboard.

Age:22
Birth Sign: Scorpio
Village: Fuzen
Handedness: Right Handed
Voice:Erica Lindbeck
Economic Status: Middle Class || She’s currently paying off The Table loans.
Likes: Izo, cold winters, the smell of cigarettes, silence and organization, coffee, chocolates, spicy foods, and starry skies
Dislikes: Anyone that threatens Izo peace, people who smoke, loudness and disorder, carrots and peas, anything overly sweet,


Personality:
Naomi used to be called an aimless adult. Usually not too passionate about anything or giving her all. Just enough to get by. Just enough to do what she needs to do. Nothing more or nothing less. She was the type to believe since life didn’t have any meaning, then what was the point of caring? Of war? Of politics? Of anything? She’s not a big player, but a piece that plays a role. Why fight it? She is kind of put off by people that come off too strong, but at the same time she doesn’t like people that are pushovers. Naomi is full of contradictions, but there is something underneath the cold indifferent personality. For Izo she is warm and caring, she’s overprotectiving and overbearing. She’s someone that has accepted her sins of the past, but still has a hopeful outlook on the future. For Izo, she is currently in the process of reinventing herself to be someone that he could possibly look up to one day.




"The system failed me, as it did for so many others, but I...I refuse to let him fall in the same trap I did..."
Naomi on ACNL




History:
Naomi was born in Fuzen and raised as an orphan for most of her life. She has no memories of her past and it doesn’t really bother her. Her parents probably died during the skirmish at the border, but at the same time if they just abandon her, it didn’t change the fact she was an orphan. She once dreamed of getting out of the warzone she called home, but it failed once the school she went to got caught in between a skirmish of her village small force and a powerful mercenary group. Standing in the rubble of what she staked most of her life on, it had finally clicked. That her past, present, and future wasn’t up to her. It was up to the bigger players. It was up to Fuzen, Suna, and Konoha. Things way bigger and more powerful than her. Powerful than she could ever be.

ACNL did a lot of good for kids all over the world, but for a select few, it made life worse. Without an education and paired with her young age, she could not get a job. Without a job, she could not eat nor could she afford a place to stay. At 12, she was homeless like many other kids that lost things due to the skirmish. There were not many options for street kids. Either steal to make a living or take a gamble on the many predatory relief groups that promised help. The endings could all possibly be the same, either in a body bag, or on the evening news. So, she did what any street kid did, and focused on survival. Whatever that meant, if the end game she survived to see tomorrow, it did not matter. Naomi would steal, scam, fight, bite, scratch, and maim if it meant that tomorrow, she would see the sunrise. The pure, almost animalistic drive to survive was what captured the eye of some older punks. They promised her that they would feed her, put her in some nice clothes, and made sure she would have a warm bed if she won.

Won at what? Underground fighting, a completely lawless land, but to her it was no different from the lawless land of the borders where she lived. The only differences are that people cheered when she beat somebody bloody and blue, and if she did not die, she would get whatever she wanted. The best tasting food, the warmest clothes, the prettiest things that a girl could wish of, if she survived, she could get it all. After a win, the punks that took her in would treat her as if she were family, and she did not want to lose that. She felt what warmth was, even if it was the same flames that burnt her, she did not want to let it go, so she continued to fight. She fought harder and desperately; she did not want to lose her place.

However, that desperate struggle was only just that, a desperate struggle. There were no thoughts behind her fist, no form, or reason. So, when it was placed against something that had those things, she was at a complete lost. The raging beast inside her that kept her alive was finally placed out of her misery. During a fight, her left arm was shatter and her left eye was lost. The found family that had quickly gave her warmth, was almost quicker to throw her out when they realized they could not heal her. Naomi was thrown out into the streets to die, blinded and crippled, and she resigned to that death. However, a white-haired beauty walked up to her and claimed that she loved her. That she had fallen for her when she was fighting.

“If you promise to stay with me, I’ll give it back. I’ll give you back your arm and eye.”
Sixth Chair


Naomi survival instincts kicked in and she agreed, and that was how she was employed to the Table. She served under The Sixth and lived in the lap of luxury. Naomi was sure, that she would never have to worry about anything. She would live her life drifting to the next and do whatever she needed to do to survive, but it only took one night, one moment to send a jolt into her senses. And that jolt was named Izo. A baby she decided to raise as if he was her own and go against everything that she dedicated her life to. From the moment she took Izo and left The Table, for a moment, she stopped surviving and decided to learn how to live…






"Are you sure?"

If you think you can manage it then it's fine with me, the only thing I'd say is just be conscientious when it comes to posting activity if you're doing P2P interaction.

Yes, you post them here first and repost them in the character's tab once accepted. I literally had to ask KenjuGuy that question 15 minutes ago. Definitely a moment deserving of a sweatdrop.

Voila, balance. It’s the greatest trick man could ever dare attempt. Life & Death. The dual sided coin dancing on the tips of equilibrium. To live among the perished. When I took upon that Hippocratic oath I became obligated to partake in the balancing of scales. The bridge between two worlds.

Tormented. Unable to connect with the outside world. Yasuke suffers from social anxiety disorder, delusions and paranoia. He struggles opening up to other people. Withdrawn, Yasuke often withholds his true opinions of the world, in fear of rejection. He’s lived life holding in suppressed anger, mainly towards the society he’s unable to participate in. Though intelligent and renowned for his medical expertise, he’s incapable of regulating intense emotions and is susceptible to explosive outbursts of rage. He self medicates with morphine, using his prowess in medical ninjutsu to derive suboxone-like drugs to help with withdrawals.

Yasuke suffers from dissociative identity disorder. His first personality, Butcher Brown, exists to play the role of a protector. In actuality, Grendel, the mysterious figure he believes slaughtered his family, is a delusion fabricated by his subconscious mind.. The Grendel construct is a monstrous manifestation of Yasuke’s suppressed rage, but itself is only a veil shielding him from hidden psychological trauma.

Healing others has always been an effective outlet for him; and the only thing aside from his drug use that has brought him any joy.

Brief History:


“The truth, in it’s unabridged naked glory. Here, lies the truth, and what will appear when the foggy mist clears way.

The demilitarization of shinobi ended centuries of warring, but did not change a thing for the followers of bushido. Instead, the samurai of the Land of Iron evolved. Through the generations leading up to the decline of shinobi, certain noble samurai families rose to power in the Land of Iron. They cultivated outside resources, deriving principles from the ninjutsu of the shinobi to rapidly develop centuries of kenjutsu that had decayed and become obsolete. The kenjutsu of the samurai had failed to challenge the might of the five shinobi countries. Households, particularly the demonic Kure, became drunk on ambition and began to experiment with forbidden practices rivaling the kinjutsu of shinobi in infamy. Generations of Kure began to flirt with the unspeakable Gu ritual, forcing blood siblings in the main branch to commit awful tragedies.

Yasuke belonged to the 8th generation of Kure living under a new regime of brutality. The middle child among 5 other pure blood Kure, Yasuke was the black sheep. Though clearly talented in the Kure family’s fearsome kenjutsu, Jaiantopansā-ryu, his heart was committed to medicine. He sought to forsake his claim to the Kure main house and become a physician. Even as he blitzed through his medical training at the young age of 18 and obtained his medical license he was convinced his efforts could overcome generations of bloody tradition.
They took him on the night of his graduation. Kidnapped, Yasuke was thrust into a crypt underneath the Kure mansion. He awoke to find his siblings with him. Threatened with horrid atrocities rivaling death, they were ordered to fight to the death, Only one would make it to see the morning sun. Burying their tears the sons and daughters of the Kure tightly grasped the hilt of their blades. Something in Yasuke snapped that night. A monstrosity unlike any the Kure had seen in previous blood emerged from the gentle Yasuke.
Nonetheless, the Kure had obtained their Grendel. Yasuke was perhaps the greatest product to be made from the sacred Gu ritual. The Land of Iron’s daimyo was elated. For, the Kure clan held a special bond with the daimyo of the land, one that spanned centuries. It was the Kure main house’s duty to provide the daimyo with a new blade every generation. One created through the corrosive act of Gu. Utilizing forbidden genjutsu, the Kure brainwash the winner of the Gu rituals into becoming human weapons for the daimyo.
As the daimyo’s blade Kure spent four years carrying out assassinations, and protecting the daimyo’s family. His mind was frequently wiped to prevent him from resisting control. However,one day everything changed. The Kure main house’s weapon program went to a halt, and it’s greatest monstrosity was nowhere to be found.
Freed from the Kure’s hold, a confused and fragmented Yasuke roams the land. He is guided by a Butcher Brown “B.B.” , a construct created in his mind from the memory of his sister. With fake memories and B.B by his side he roams the countryside on a fantastical quest to slay the beast, Grendel.

Butcher Brown “B.B”

Name: Butcher Brown(Goes by B.B)
Type of Voice/Voice Actor: Cree Summer
Personality: A symptom of Yasuke’s D.I.D. The personality construct, Butcher Brown, is loosely derived from his dead sister. Unlike the passive Yasuke, she’s violent, charismatic, intelligent, but emotionally manipulative.

Feedback & Approvals

Hey @Dream Maker you can add Hyuuga Hotaru to the character section at your leisure. We split the characters between the GM team so we'll have feedback on the other 2 soon.

I know you left a note about Hotaru not having the Byakugan but I can't recall if you had a similar one for Chisato and the Sharingan. The Uchiha Casino is lit.
------------------------------

I had the Co-GM's make some changes to their traits for balance purposes, just wanted to be transparent about it for posterity.

@Sync you can add Proper 12 to the character section too.

@MapoTofu you can add Naomi to the character section when you get a chance.

Since we have up to 150 000 chars to use, I'm probably gonna keep the team and everything related to them in one post; so I'll wait for the other GMs' feedback.

Chisato will have his Sharingan awaken, but it's much further down the line. I don't need it for now and, given I haven't the slightest clue on how to roleplay the Sharingan in a main character, I decided to not have it from the get go. This way, I'll have some time to figure stuff out. I'll hit one of you guys once I have it worked out; if time comes for when I need him to awaken the Sharingan and I still don't have the gist of it, hope it's cool if I ask for help.

@Dream Maker Your character Chisato is like a few steps from being accepted, just a couple of things though.

Two of your Jutsu’s are kind of vague, so it would be better if you would make it so Heat Wave and Hell Fire are one of the same, so basically put them together along with your custom C-rank and make it the B-rank, you can eliminate the restriction if you want though, unless that's something you want. In that case you can say fatigued, instead of useless. You can keep the 3 post limit and stuff. I don’t really get how far reaching the AoE is so if you could clarify that for me please, I’d appreciate it.

Make Crush break bones, but only if you have like a 50+ strength advantage. And the summoning tech into a C for the sake of being consistent with the canon.

You have two D ranks to work with now, which you could always google from the official list if your low on ideas. Lastly, can you explain a little bit about the Youkai? Like what type it is? I'm guessing it's a spirit manifestation, but it'll help if you clarify.

As for sharingan, yeah you can have it for later. If anything, come to us for help on the mechanics and stuff.

@Dream Maker here is the feedback for Sayuri:

Bakuha seems more like a B-rank with Tengoku no Ikari seeming more like an A-rank. The Sunnapu jutsu and Explosive fist need a bit more definition. The snap jutsu should have a range and depending on that range it would be easier to determine its rank.

I'm going to create a destructive capacity chart based off this wiki;
outskirtsbattledomewiki.com/index.php…

I'd say to use that as a guideline to describe the destructive power of the jutsu list for the team until I create something better.

I've done all of these things. Please check to see if you agree with the changes I've made.

Regarding:

They're not the same. It's my fault for not explaining them properly I believe.

With Heat Wave, Chisato's body turns into a literal furnace or heater via the chakra paths inside his body flaring up with his Katon chakra. No flames are actually produced, only pure heat. That is why anything that touches him ends up burnt (like if you touched an iron while it's hot) and the surrounding area undergoes a rise in temperature. It's a support ninjutsu, rather than an offense taijutsu one (though it could be, I suppose), because it's meant to be used as protection against harsh cold climates.

With Hellfire, actual flames are produced...I created it based off of Harry Potter's fiendfyre. It's an unquenchable roar of flames that even Chisato wouldn't be able to control after he summons them, but that would constantly feed on his chakra until he passes out; only then subsiding.

You'll notice I've kept Heat Wave in place and removed Hellfire completely. Since Soul told me Sayuri's Tengoku no Ikari is probably A-ranked, I assumed Hellfire would similarly be of a higher rank than B. For that reason I had Flame Waves move up to B-rank (it fits, I think) and created a random D-rank off the top of my head to fill in the D-rank void left by the Kuchiyose.

Bakuha seems more like a B-rank with Tengoku no Ikari seeming more like an A-rank. The Sunnapu jutsu and Explosive fist need a bit more definition. The snap jutsu should have a range and depending on that range it would be easier to determine its rank.

I removed Tengoku no Ikari, replacing it with Bakuha. As you requested, I've explained Snap and Explosive Fist a bit further and added a range for Snap; though I'm not entirely sure if 60 feet is acceptable because I'm not exactly sure how much is 60 feet, since I work with meters and all. There's also a new C-rank, to replace Bakuha's previous spot.

Let me know stuffs.

Everything looks good to us so go ahead and add your crew to the character tab at your earliest convenience. The bio seems to indicate they should all be added to Konoha, is that correct?
