[OOC] Naruto: Remnants of a World --- currently accepting 1 more person

[Dion]

@Joestar Yes. There is vast lands to the West that were never explored, so I intend to visit that.

[RyoRyoRyoken]

@Buddha After thinking about it a little more, the concept probably works better as a jonin class, so I'll save it for now. I'll put together a solid chunin for starters.

@Joestar The way I envision the character, he probably wouldn't get bent out of shape about a title. Though, he'd probably find it annoying having to teach actual students, especially when it comes to his particular brand of swordsmanship.

[Dion]

@RyoRyoRyoken I guess it makes more sense. Doesn't stop you from giving him kenjutsu. We had Konohagakure kenjutsu experts. Swordsman of the Mist, etc. Killer Bee was also a kenjutsu expert.

[Dion]

Character roster on the 2nd post in the thread. Teams will be decided later once most CS's have been posted/I am making the IC. I have a vague outline discussed with the other jonin, but for now it's indefinite because, well, we have 7 chunin, a few sheets in the works, and also a jonin still being made.

Either way, take a look. I might substitute the 'quotes' with a short summary of what they've accomplished, quotes that I find memorable or funny, etcetera etcetera. That seemed to work in my last RP where we got hilarious shit about magic tents, as well as some epic quotes about feuds and rivalries between two characters.

[RyoRyoRyoken]

@Buddha Oh, for sure. I just wanna stick to the outlined rules for being allowed a jonin while also getting to take a crack at whatever other concepts I can whip up. Chunin kid might also be some sort of kenjutsu user, who knows? In any case, I'll get cracking on it.

[Dion]

@RyoRyoRyoken Oh I wasn't saying I'd let you have a jonin straight off the bat.

I'm a crazy motherfucker but I ain't that crazy. Also I'm a sticker for rules. Makes my life more organized.

[RyoRyoRyoken]

@Buddha I feel you, bro. Back when I GM'd on the other site I used to RP on, I found out really quickly how dumb things could get if you didn't rein people in a bit.

[Dion]

Yeah, it gets quite bad. Also, my RP's seem to usually attract weird people. I seem to have completely dodged that bullet this time around though.

[Joestar]

@Buddha Want me to be weird? I can be weird. Hold on let me get my memes.

[Dion]

I really hate memes. Not even kidding. I'm from 4chan originally and ... ugh. It's gotten worse there as well, so I've had to move to the SA forums.

[Joestar]

@Buddha Memes make the world go around.

[Dion]

There are a few I find funny. Generally, they stay funny until 9gag finds them.

[RyoRyoRyoken]

I'm still trying to figure out how the "Dat Boi" meme caught on. I'll admit I kinda like it, though.

[Dion]

@RyoRyoRyoken the hilarity was that it made no sense.

Now that mainstream media has taken a hold of it, it's becoming less funny. The power of these memes has always been the inside joke-iness of it.

Take for instance that frog meme 'Pepe'. Started out as an image of a frog on one of those pie-chart meme backgrounds, with texts about living like a neckbeard gamer weeaboo and their lifestyle. Now it's just a weird image of a frog doing random shit. :/

[Dion]

Look at me though, I look like a channer that screams ''WREEEEEH NORMIES STOLE MY MEEEEMS'' at everything.

[RyoRyoRyoken]

That's probably a solid reason for it, yeah.

I'm definitely unnerved by the prevalence of memes these days, as I lurked the Chans and surfed Encyclopedia Dramatica way back when. Now everybody's in on net slang, to the point where some goofy motherfuckers use it in actual conversation.

[Dion]

That's probably most annoying. I don't mind if they use it on the internet, I get some cheap laughs on twitter from time to time, but once people start using internet slang irl, it's weird.

[Joestar]

@Buddha@RyoRyoRyoken That's why you need high quality fresh off the press memes.

[Dion]

@Joestar That's why you need SA.

[Hillan]

Thing with Memes is that currently, they're counter-culture. Memes's our generations woodstock.

They're based on layers of so much irony, and I don't think anyone has made a genuine meme since Le Ragecomicman.
