[OOC] Naruto: Years of Winter - an Alternate Universe

[McFazzer]

I know a flak jacket is often a sign of a Jonin or Chunin in some cases, but I've always wondered why they don't just give everyone a flak jacket and have the color denote rank instead? A flak jacket is supposed to be armor, right? Why send your new recruits into a firefight without armor? :P

@McFazzer

Flak jackets (Baki's aside) normally don't stop fuck all, anyway.

Weird shit I AM DAT

Muu Sarutobi I spank dat. D:

@Masaki Haruna Those are older, but I imagine they work quite well.

I mean, I'm not opposed to everyone having their own idea in their head of how it looks. I can even imagine equipment isn't standardized and it's entirely up to the person how their flak jacket looks.

[Masaki Haruna]

They'd work well.

I understand now as Gowi said, feudal Japan. Before the Portugese came right?

@RaijinSlayer Join us!

[RyoRyoRyoken]

Personally, I cosign the look Kakashi's rocking in that picture.

@Buddha

Yeah, with this being only about a century after the formation of the villages I think that there is no strict uniformity outfits/equipment. I imagine it will come later as time progresses.

[Raijinslayer]

@Masaki HarunaSup, and I'm considering. Played a bit of Storm 4, made me want to get back into a Naruto RP.

@BuddhaHow have you been, by the way? Long time no see and all that

@RyoRyoRyokenSame to you, sup!

[Dion]

@Raijinslayer I'm all good man. Doing this Naruto thing once again as you can see. We'd be happy to have you at any rate!

[Gowi]

@Raijinslayer

who dat

[Raijinslayer]

@BuddhaGlad to here it, and neat sig. Took me a second to figure out who they were. I'm wondering what to run if I do come in though. . . Not feeling any of my old characters at the moment.

@Gowi Just someone who was a player in some past Naruto RP's Buddha and Masaki have been, as well as a frewothersI saw while checking current character count.

[Dion]

@Raijinslayer yeah, most of everyone has run new characters, so making totally new ones would be more or less the preferred route I think.

[Gowi]

How many New Gen alumni is there, anyway? You guys are like ants.

[Dion]

@Gowi I don't recall if Raijin was ever involved with Next Gen.

@Everyone, I'm probably gonna start creating the first circle of 'bad guys' who will have an actual personality beyond 'oh it's this guy, he has this trait and this attack, go defeat him' so if you have ideas, let me know (PM, post here, or hit me up on discord.)

@Gowi

Too many.

[Raijinslayer]

@j8cobHey man, long time no see. How are things going in your neck of the woods?

@Raijinslayer

I have crippling depression, work oppressive hours, and my body is slowly failing.

[Raijinslayer]

@j8cobWell. . . not sure how to respond to that for a multitude of reasons. I've got a job though, so. . . there's that.

Watch any good movies lately?

@Raijinslayer

T'was a joke. I'm balling fam.

Also no. I don't wanna pirate and I'm too cheap to buy tickets.
