Sai said I can remember their faces as I was sealed. I asked them was it so bad to live under me? To live in peace? To live without Shinobi, without war? They told me that what I gave them was not peace... I came from a generation of war... I was the last of my kind. They told me that my death marked the birth of a better generation.

I hope so.

Naruto: Birth of a Better Generation is a Naruto-themed roleplay that incorporates dystopian and post-apocalyptic elements into its setting. The roleplay takes place after the reign of a dictator named Sai, the Conqueror whom seized control over all lands and nations through sheer force during the Second Great Shinobi War. The present setting of the roleplay is a time of rebuilding, reigning in a whole new era of Kage that also act as the Daimyo of their respective Lands. Old rivalries as well as new alliances have been forged, paving the way for the new world while it tries to make sense of freedoms it has not experienced in the last two decades.

Sai, the Conqueror took reign as Lord of all Lands roughly eighteen years before the current setting, and did so after killing his former sensei, half-brother and former-teammate, all of whom led the usurpation with him. His betrayal to his comrades is rumored to have been from his bad blood, his twisted body, his broken heart and just the power he had in general, but regardless of the truth, he overthrew several of the most powerful shinobi in the world at the same time as well as decimated clans, their leaders and the remaining Jounin that stood in his way. Sai then ended all war with severe punishments as far as death for crime, claiming that the end to all hostilities was a true reign of peace. It was not.

Although Sai wished to create a world were no man had to become a warrior and Shinobi were no longer needed, the people went without a voice. His guards, who were not trained to use chakra, but were taijutsu experts, often abused their power and abused the citizens they were enlisted to protect. Only a handful of shinobi existed in the world, aside from the resistance, and Sai made efforts to eliminate shinobi all together, going as far as genocide on most clans, all of whom became refugees from the law. Although it was not entirely the fault of the leader when it came to the corruption of his domain, it was viewed as such, thus leading to the resistance growing stronger and stronger.

Fifteen years past. Most clans were purged, shinobi were all-but a myth and the people had been lulled into their new lives. Sai ruled each major village using a clone of himself, and was working on improving his society at this point. Culture and history were lost permanently because of his reign, families slaughtered and even with improving conditions for the people, the resistance found it too much. Each resistance overthrew their respective government using jutsu that hadn't been seen in years, leading to a final showdown in what was once Amegakure, the home village of Sai prior to his reign. There, no longer split and at his full strength, a final showdown ensued between Sai and the leaders of the resistance. In terms of power, the shinobi stood no match. Sai, however, was but a single person, and his own forces were wiped out.

The fight with Sai resulted in the destruction of Amegakure. Killing him meant piercing his four extra hearts, which was no small feat. Only after was Sai sealed away using the Reaper Death Seal, to ensure his death. However, even after sealing away Sai's soul, a new purge was required. Sai had placed Cursed Seals on every remaining member of his regime, resulting in the resistance being forced to hunt them down to avoid all chances of Sai ever being resurrected. This time was known as The Great Purge, and during it was also the time that the resistance leaders became the new world leaders and conflict began arising. During The Great Purge, the resistance - once a strong, global coalition - began falling apart, resulting in the old boundaries being accepted and the resistance leaders becoming the Kage and Daimyo of their lands. The final act of the resistance was ending The Great Purge, as the hunt for the sealed became a responsibility for each village.

Now, villages are rebuilding from the war, Amegakure is gone and the people are rejoicing in their newfound freedom. Conflict is arising again, a new generation of shinobi are being trained. Thousands of techniques were lost, only a handful of clan members are left alive and each village is taking different steps to revitalize itself and its people. Political standpoints are never solid, trade is unreliable and the boundaries between lands are constantly being pushed. No single nation has a military strong enough to do anything after the losses from the resistance and the Great Purge, which most villages have let fade away. It is only a matter of time to see what happens when a world that is rebuilding regains its militant strength.
Konohagakure (literally meaning Village Hidden by the Tree Leaves) is the hidden village of the Land of Fire and its present capitol. As with most other villages, the founding of Konohagakure has been lost. Former shinobi registration and even the names of most shinobi prior to the Second Great Shinobi War have been lost, leading the only real knowledge of the past being the mention of the Third Hokage (the Hokage being the Kage of Konohagakure) of the Uchiha Clan. The most recent Hokage, the Nidaime Hokage, Hosuka Uzumaki, resides in the new Hokage Residence, the former office of Sai, the Conqueror.

Konoha has returned to its place as one of the strongest shinobi villages in the world. The shinobi of this village wear blue or black shirts which may or may not have swirl patterns on the shoulders, along with matching coloured pants over a green flak jacket which also has a red swirl on the back, and pockets on the chest area. They also tend to wrap bandages around their legs. A large number of shinobi from this village seem to have an affinity for Fire Release.

In Character Summary.



History. Little is known about the past of Konohagakure before the Second Great War, however, it is regarded as the single most powerful nation of that era and thus far has proven to be the single most powerful nation of the current era. The remnants of most clans within Konohagakure give it a slightly larger pool of Shinobi for its next generation, granting it a slight advantage over most other villages, thus granting it further economic advantages. Hosuka Uzumaki, the current Hokage, is the younger brother of the shinobi whom performed the reaper death seal on Sai, the Conqueror. It was essentially that altruistic act that earned Hosuka his place in addition to his great power. Because the brother of the current Hokage also led the resistance, many unaligned shinobi from the resistance chose to make Konoha their new home. All of these factors have made Konoha the most powerful and well-respected shinobi village in current existence, however, they have also earned it a high amount of spite due to the advantages it has attained through means other than village loyalty.

Clans. Konohagakure was one of the least fortunate villages during the purge of clans, however, many of the clan members from its major clans survived, with the exception of the entirely obliterated Aburame Clan. Although only a handful of clan members are alive, ranging from twenty to thirty, each every clan ranging from the Senju to the Uchiha and even the Nara and Akamichi are still alive. Although many hiden and knowledge about their kekkei genkai were lost, members of the clans are still regarded as some of the more powerful Shinobi of the era, many of which are veterans of the War on Sai. With the lost of most history regarding clans, there was a great equalizer within the village, with quelled previous strains between the clans. The Hon Clan, a former elite clan of the village, was left with only four known survivors, putting the clan in an endangered position. Overall, clans are met with respect and sympathy due to the large losses they have taken in recent decades.

Clan List














Locations. Due to the destruction of Amegakure, which at its time was the most advanced village with both the most advanced manufacturing and recreational areas, Konohagakure has became the most advanced village in the most stable nation. There are notably no monuments found within Konohagakure. The former Hokage monuments were destroyed by Sai, the Conqueror whom claimed no man, even himself, deserved immortal glorification. With the economic strength and large size of Konoha taken into account, it has a diverse amount of locations available to it:

- Shinobi Academy; the teaching facility for aspiring young shinobi
- Standard Academy: the teaching facility for all Konoha students
- Amaguriama: a chestnut-based sweets shop
- Dango Shop: another sweet shop, famous for its dango
- Hokage Residence: the home and office of the Hokage
- Golden Cat: an upscale restaurant with classier food at more expensive prices
- Jounin Standby Station: a station located beside the Shinobi Academy meant for Jounin to receive missions and important information
- Konoha Archive Library: a mostly destroyed library containing information regarding general history and jutsu
- Konoha Aviary: a communication station using hawk messengers
- Konoha Cemetary: the home of the dead and forgotten with many unmarked and defaced graves
- Konoha Hot Springs: the highlight of the village, its hot springs that have endured the ages.
- Konoha Enforcement Centre: A combination of the mission desk and former police force, this building houses the police force, is the briefing area for missions and acts as its intelligence division.
- Naka Shrine: a shrine found sacred by the Uchiha. It was destroyed by Sai, but the stone inside was saved. It has since been rebuilt by the Naka river
- Konoha Orphanage: the home to the young homeless of Konoha, many of whom become Shinobi
- Ramen Ichikaru: a well-known ramen shop
- Shushuya: a sake store
- Konoha Ninja Tool Facility: formerly a research facility, it is now reformatted to simply sell basic tools until further development
- Toko's Spicy Delights: a 'mom and pop's' style diner with - as expected - spicy, large-portioned and flavorful meals
- Training Grounds 1-45: training grounds scattered throughout Konoha serving different purposes. PM for use/ideas.
Rules:


- I, Prince, am Head Mod, and thus proceed over all other mods, making my work law. I'm also pretty lazy. So are my laws.
- Three paragraph minimum for posting. Keep it classy.
- Teams will either be a jounin and three genin or a chuunin and two genin. No present exceptions.
- Konoha is the only open village presently.
- NPC's are divided into two levels. Integral and not. INPC's are not available for player control and will be noted upon their use, but not immediately reprimanded. Aside from that, players may control NPC's to their liking to further roleplay. It is encouraged.
- Although I will be lenient on skill level as I want others to have fun, character death is a possibility and development is encouraged. This roleplay is meant to build upon characters, to develop them and flesh them out, not simply pit armed warriors against each other. The theme may be Naruto, but that is where the line ends.
-Character displacement abilities such as Kawarimi and Body Flicker are not permitted in combat situations. Exceptions can be made under certain circumstances, such as Safe Place.

Null Rhetoric Clause states that metaphors, similes, analogies and other figures of speech used in any description made by a roleplayer are not considered 'true' and can be contested and debunked by a Moderator or two-thirds vote of the present player roster. This applies to any background, history or description of an item, character or event not made by Staff.

Rite of Creative Domain states that anything created by the players for the setting or for their characters is subject to use and subjugation of the Staff. This does not apply to specific characters or items, but it does apply to anything not approved into the setting and used as descriptors for their characters, items, or events, such as NPC's, related items, clans and jutsu.

Quick Note About Ranks: Jounin have been appointed their position by their current Kage and most likely earned them during the resistance. The same goes for Chuunin and Special Jounin. The ANBU do not presently exist. ALL Genin must have passed the Shinobi Academy. Even if they fought in the resistance, they would either be good enough to be a Chuunin, dead or sent through the Academy.

Quick Note About Registration Numbers: Only Academy Graduates have been assigned Registration Numbers. They are used to keep track of fresh genin, not for identification. It was considered too large of a task to register all existing shinobi, thus they were skipped. Registration numbers range from 1-100 then the fourth digit represents their 'class', starting as zero. For instance, Kino (one of my characters) is 000006. He graduated sixth in his class, and was the first, class.

Quick Note About Bijuu/Jinchuuriki. Don't even ask: the answer is no. Konohagakure does have three: the nine-tails, seven-tails and five-tails.

Approved, Krieg. Admittedly, I would've preferred more BBCode and possibly a picture reference, but ultimately it appears fine.

I have some issues with Kokai.

First and foremost, I don't really feel like he's a "Better Generations" character as much as he's just fit to the Naruto theme in general. I know his history is not made, but I really don't see any plot elements or aspects of Birth of a Better Generation inside the character design. He also feels slightly like the Gary Sue type of Loyal Clansmen archetype, which would be fine, but that entire archetype has been influenced by the mass genocide of every clan, very notably Konohagakure. On that note, even though there is pride in being a clan member, you have to realize this is only a set few years after every clan member was in hiding from Sai, who was selectively killing them. I would say that because of that alone, his training would be stunted greatly. Lastly, I do not personally mind using elemental jutsu on a Hyuuga, but there are four jutsu, some used by Jounin and S-Class ninja. Even if they scaled up, you have to realize that genin don't even learn most elemental jutsu at their stage. Sasuke was a prodigy and knew a handful of fire jutsu, and he was from one of the most prodigious clans of the series. I feel like you should reduce the jutsu to maybe one or two. I said six was the limit for genin; I did not say that having less would be less.

Overall, I want the character more cemented into the setting and I want the Wind Release scaled back greatly. If you still want jutsu for Wind Release, make some custom ones that are relatively weak, but useful in terms of utility. Don't limit yourself to the pre-existing pool.

Like you said, the history is not finished. Review the character when it is done, and don't just assume when I didn't even get a chance to explain anything.

You stated his personality and his jutsu. Alone, I can make assertions from that. I did state that your history had not been made, but I still am greatly capable of drawing conclusions from the information given and present you with my input. You do not just tell someone to 'not assume' and then complain about not getting a 'chance to explain' when I simply gave input on the material presented. If anything, you consider it an opportunity to build off more input and see the insight of the GM during the creation process.

Roleplay is art. I came from years of art classes. You cannot get defensive over a critique, elsewise you might as well just leave now.

Edit: It is not just a waste of your time, it is a waste of mine. I saw information, and I graded it. It was simply input. If you cannot handle input, then I don't want you here. I do not care if you are in a bad mood. Your actions and attitude have determined this is not the place for you. Good bye. Please resist the urge to comment back.

Not everyone is at your level of writing. You're assuming I cannot tie this all together, which is alone insulting. I read the stuff about clan purges, and I took that into consideration. And I assumed if I put in more work, I could utilize four Wind jutsu that are hardly even lethal. Don't throw your 'years of art classes' in my face like it makes you have more sense than me.

Let me reiterate. Leave.

Your attitude is of no use here. You could not handle a simple critique of information presented. You have a distinct inferiority complex, which I find more annoying than anything. You are hypocritical in your views on assumptions. Overall, you have proven to be a pest. Actually, let me break it down:

- I saw information, and I graded it based on what I saw. It was fair. I did the same for Krieg, whom did something very similar in his posting before formatting. He simply said 'wait a second', did it, and there was no problem. You couldn't even follow that example.

- You stated you had a bad mood, as if I'm entitled to care. Such activity is egocentric. You claimed you were insulted at what you believe is my assumption you could not do something. That is not only egocentric, it's indicative of an inferiority complex as you outwardly are attempting to prove something. This is only rectified by the fact you are trying to create a character whom you have to justify certain aspects of because they are normally above or beyond his placement.

- You hypocritically made an assumption that you literally admitted to after attempting to insult me for making what you believed to be assumptions.

- You were insulted at my comment of years of art classes, meaning something hit a nerve with your inferiority complex. You assumed I meant I had more sense than you when I was explaining my actions.

You are not the type of roleplayer or person I am looking for. I do not care what mood you are in, I do not care that I lost a single roleplayer and I do not care about your opinion of me or my roleplay. I do not even care if every roleplayer who wanted to be here reads this, finds it in poor taste and decides not to roleplay because of it. You have no influence here. You will not ever. Good bye.

Listen. I am not here to flame your thread. I am not trying to scare away people that want to roleplay with this plot. It is well-thought out, refreshing, and new. I wanted to be in with that. However, I found it unnecessary for you to review when I was not even done. This irks me beyond anything else. Actually, let me break it down.

- Don't compare me to Krieg. Kried had a character who fit well into your plot. You told me Kokai 'did not fit this roleplay'. What does that even mean? What are you looking for in this roleplay? I am trying to make a character with underlying values. So what if he is polite? You find it unacceptable that he is respectable? As if I'm trying to satisfy an egomaniacal fallacy?

- This is where we actually get insulting. I have never met you, and you are telling me what I am? Are you so sure of yourself? What am I trying to prove, exactly? That I am better than you? I am not. We are both members of Guild, so we are on equals. You may be the GM of this, but why do you make yourself openly insult others? When you even say multiple times throughout the opening post 'impress me'. If anyone, I'd think you're getting high-and-mighty already.

Prince said

I don't know what you are trying to say, so I will assume you were right and I am wrong here.

-Again, you are assuming I have an inferiority complex, when you seem to have a superiority complex. So you took art classes? Big whoop, so you can draw. Like that's going to add to your credibility.

Dude, why are you so mad? All this digging and digging into my person is reaching for straws. All I was angry about was that you are trying to write my character for me. I was writing why he had such proficiency in these Wind jutsu, things that aren't even that strong. I guess this is me trying to respond to you. Let's just end it with this; pull back your shit, man. I am an adult, don't treat me like a child. Don't even try to say my actions are immature, I am not the one insulting the other.

I guess, just don't be a douche, Princy. If something does not fit into your idea of a 'perfect roleplay', you must fix it for the person. Just have a beer, chill out, and let what happens happens.

You are both entertaining and annoying, and I will explain why. I am entertained in the sense that I enjoy debate. It's as simple as that. I am annoyed by the fact you are so defensive when you don't even need to be.

Let's begin with your assertion of my superiority complex. You base it off of two things: my statements and the model you have made of how my mind works. Your primary resources for this are that I stated I took years of art class; you believe that makes me feel like I am better. You also use my psychoanalysis and tone of writing, but neither of those are truly indicative of a superiority complex. You simply assumed that I believe I am superior. I will clarify.

I took four years of art classes, a year of general art, art studies, performance art and art appreciation. All of that is completely useless for me. I'm presently a registered EMT and Medical coder in the soon-to-be outdated ICD-9. I'm a nursing student presently and I specialize in psychology to become a PMHNP. I have 7 semesters of college under me.

Guess what? That is all fucking irrelevant. Every last bit of it doesn't matter. Why?

BECAUSE MY FUCKING POINT WAS THAT I WAS GIVING A SIMPLE CRITIQUE.

I learned to give formal critiques in not just my art classes, but my writing classes. That's all I'm doing.

I'm not insulting you. I'm not immediately denying you. I am telling you the mother fucking criteria of which I want based on the fucking material that I was presented. It's that fucking simple. You have more criteria that you think will completely alter my opinion of your character? Fan-fucking-tastic. You either ignore or take into minor account my opinions on your unfinished CS, then finish it. It's real simple. You don't get butthurt and delete it like a fourteen year old freshie.

Now, let me go off listing several reasons you're indicative of an inferiority complex: You dislike being compared and you immediately negated the one thing that would functionally rank me higher than you (me being GM) then claimed we're all equals. But those are the obvious ones. Let me go in deeper. In your verbal assaults on me, you don't demean the content of my statements, just me in general. You don't care about being right or wrong, as you obviously stated you are wrong, you just care about your image in the conversation. You boldly stated you don't want things done for you, meaning that you want to feel independent to the sheer degree you will get defensive over a critique. But probably most of all is this: your major combat to my claim of your inferiority complex is that I simply feel I'm superior.

So, here's my simple rebuttal to you. Leave. You had the opportunity to simply work with a minor critique or prove your character logically acceptable, but instead you decided to argue with the GM. I would've gladly accepted a character that made sense for their abilities. I've done it before. It actually tends to be how many of my personal characters work. But, instead of taking some minor criticism which was understandable, you had to get defensive and argued arbitrary facts.

So, let me end with this. You will not be part of this RP. You have no purpose replying to this thread. You are wasting both of our time. I do not want you here. I do not forgive you. Leave.

You just spelled leave backwards solely in an attempt to get the last word on a thread in which you know you have no hope of redeeming yourself on. You are gravely immature, and I am quite glad that you did not make it further in this roleplay. In addition to that, I find you just pathetic enough to finally ignore. The last word doesn't matter when things have reached such a low.

Good-bye. Enjoy whatever other Naruto-themed roleplay you intend to troll.
