This is a conceptual roleplay set in the Naruto Universe within the framework of an alternate universe.
What this means though, is that for the most part canonical characters and events are absent from this continuity. There is no Naruto Uzumaki, and as a byproduct there are no events surrounding that character and Kishimoto’s original timeline in this roleplay. This allows a fresh interpretation of the base universe, new ideas to flourish without needing to cross reference every specific fact, and of course creates a constantly building continuity as mysteries and legends unfold before our very eyes. This is a role-play that does not exist with official canon, however while this is so events have branched similarly to some effect. Core characters from aforementioned official canon have been removed from play but their clans continue to be shaped similarly.
Players will begin with an academy student in Konohagakure that is awaiting the results of the genin exams. This is, in part, due to my belief of what Naruto is about as a setting. Basically, I believe at the heart of it that Naruto is about the character's growth as a genin, the camaraderie they create with their friends, the bonds that deepen through experience, and ultimately the path they take. So all CS’s should be marked “genin” level unless you are applying for a jonin-sensei. Players are encouraged to have as many characters as they can handle, but remember quality-over-quantity as well as to be mindful of many characters. I would personally prefer players to have no more than three characters at the start.
