[OOC] Gobigakure no Sato - A Naruto Roleplay

[ChibiYuki]

Haha sure i wouldn't mind having a review right now, I still need to chop up some things and glue them together so you might as well check so, I can make it look nice in a single swoop.

(Meh i died a little inside when I dropped him from being Chunin to Jonin.... ima try to spend the time to recover ))

The Mad Hatter said
Nah, I appreciate (<- thank God for Google) it.(Halvtand does it all the time, anyways; he actually didn't start out as my Co-GM. He just sorta swooped in on one of my RPs and went "This is how we do sheet" and I couldn't argue with his logic, so I just let him do it; saved me the trouble of being a dick, anyways. That was five or six years ago, I think. We've been working together ever since...)

Sounds awesome. Glad to know we've got some good GMs running this thing. Really looking forward to seeing how the story plays out.

I'm not quite certain what direction I'm going to take Ryuu. I would love to have him slowly shift from disloyal to actuallly acknowledging his friendships as more important than himself. Yeah..its Tsundere but I've not written one of those in ages.

Also, did that jutsu for the sword styles seem decent?

Okay, good. 'Cause I already read it.
If changing something as simple as your rank kills you inside, you might wanna find another RP. Possibly in teh Casual section.
As Pasta informed you, we are not too keen on super-strong ninja. We're barely fond of just regularly strong ninja. Obviously, I have some issues with your power levels.

You cannot have the Mokuton (Wood Release) KG. It is stated in the series that only Hashirama and those with his exact DNA (AKA clones) possessed this skill and since we do not (really) want to mess with the history of the world, that kind of eliminates the possibility of that KG.
The Paper thing... Well, the way you have described it, this was a side-effect (more or less) of the Mokuton, so he loses that as well. Even if it was not a result of his Mokuton, the Paper thing was not stated to be a KG or anything, but it was unique to Konan (or will be, I guess). It was so unique, in fact, that it does not even have a name (Super-Ninja-Advanced Origami, lol). Even if I did allow you the Paper thing (which I am not saying I am or am not), you would have to make up completely nrew techniques for it and not use those invented by Konan.

Shall we start with that?

Yeah, that is always exciting. The best part of being GM and being the one who has basically "created" the setting is when the players take it a totally different way that what I was expecting :-P

That's the best part of always (well, often, anyways) using the same character (as I do with Haruka); they turn out differently each time. I give her the same basic skillset (upgraded or degraded to fit the setting in the RP), the same basic personality (thought the insecurity thing is new) and ususally I would give her the same background as well, though this time that was not quite possible.
The first time I used her, she ended up with a Sakura-Sasuke relationship with a ... Hyuuga version of Sasuke (xD) who then eventually wound up dead and had her fall into a deep depression that ended up with her going downright homocidal.
Another time I used her, she got an inventor friend who used her power-house and tank-like physique to test out dangerous cutting edge weapons and the ones that turned out all right, she got to keep. She had weapons coming out her ass.
She's died a few times, too...
Huh... I forgot about the tooth... I'll have to add that to her CS.
Anyways, I find it easier to just let the character control itself; I just write :-P

Yeah, your sword technique is fine, to me. Halvtand will have to approve, too, though.

Stuff about characters

Sounds like a lot of fun. I've typically only played Canon characters in the past, but I've some experience with OC's as in this one. Been ages since I did a Naruto RP though. I got my first introduction to Roleplay in EVE Online and then SWTOR, but slowly moved my way to forum RP because of the freedom it provided. So here I am today. Currently trying out a Nation RP for the first time as Great Britain in the Word in Revolution over in the Nation Section. Also a Tim Drake in an alternate Young Justice setting. So I love this kinda stuff.

I'm really looking forward to seeing Haruka and Ryuu interact. They are both swordsmen/women but their styles seem to be entirely different. Seeing Haruka's pictures you got made my IRL muscles feel inept. :P

Haha. Anyways, really looking forward to more joining us and seeing how this plays out.

Meh with the effort i sowed here, I might as well reap what i have done here. So, sure I have the Paper Release and make the techniques for it.

I started out doing Live Roleplaying when I was just a kid, moved on to Pen and Paper in my tween years and started playing Post by Post when I was fifteen. I don't think I've ever MMORPG-ed. I've played plenty of MMORPGs (and I'm always looking for the one that I won't get bored of within a few weeks), but I've actually never even cosidered actually roleplaying in one.
I find Nation RPs confusing. I've tried a few (try everything once, you know?), but it wasn't my thing. I've done plenty of Marvel based RPs, though (not much for DC, gotta say).

They actually have a lot in common. With the swords, the gates, the outsider dads and the whole "I need to be better, faster, stronger" no matter the cost -thing. Haruka was always loved and taken care of, though, where Ryuu childhood was not... ideal. Ryuu was a genius, thouhg, while Haruka was the runt of her class. Is a beautiful symbolism, really.
Haruka's physical strenght was actually originally designed for the purpose of pushing the limits between male and female roles. We see lots of superhero women with super-strength, but they're always lean and curvaceous, anyways. We almost never see big, bulging muscle-mass on women (She-Hulk, though). She was originally a bit chubby, too. The missing tooth, as I just added to her CS, was something of the sort as well. Missing front teeth is seen as juvenile and/or downright ugly. ... Her hair, long and in a "feminine" color, was actually burned in the original story, so it would up all short and scorched, resulting in her keeping it short.
I actually had another character, who was the direct opposite of her, in the same roleplay. A Hyuuga, with their graceful movements and slender bodies. She had really long, silky, extremely feminine hair, wore traditionally feminine clothing and even had her nails done. She was weak as fuck and ended up a crippled medic...

I actually do a whole lot of pushing the limit when it comes to my characters. Such as this guy. Who is a guy. A straight guy, even.

Kiyoshi, or Kin for short

After I got a bit better at drawing, he wound up looking like this, though

Second attempt at Kin

I think I'll wait for you to fix and finish your sheet before I give you any more feedback on it. It's easier when you have the whole thing.

so, all aboard the hype train?

also

The Mad Hatter said Actually, I wanted that from Rex and Pasta, too... Forgot that …

I did provide how he fights though D:

Carry on, then >.>

we are hyped about the beginning of the roleplay?

[Pasta Sentient]

@Mad Hatter I agree entirely about NRP's being confusing. I had looked at ones in the past and it just really threw me for a loop. That said, the World in Revolution format is surprisingly well ordered and controlled. Rather than tons of IC posts and controlling characters, the only posts you make are like 'press releases' to the other Nations. Then you send in your orders to the GM and he updates once a week which makes a year pass. So it's in someways less RP and more Strategy. SWTOR is the only MMO I've made it to endgame. And that was only because of RP. I hate grinding. The RP in an MMO format is a lot faster paced and fluid, but less writing skill and freedom. Like...most things are said in the chat window with your avatar actually doing the movements.

Ah! Marvel! Forgot about one I joined recently. It's a different dimension/reinvent the characters thing. So I made Magneto born in the 80's and an agent of SHIELD.

Err..on topic! I agree that there is a ton of symbolism there. It could definitely make for an interesting relationship between the two. It will be interesting to see the fluidity of how things play out.

Not sure how much you want to deal with canon characters, but if this RP goes for another 11 years ICly...I have this horrifying image of Itachi hunting Ryuu down. Ryuu's going to be hopefully a great deal stronger in 11 years, but I don't see him having the Mangekyou by then if ever.

I am always hyped about beginning a roleplay! 8D

Since I'm already discussing our characters' interaction with Pasta, might as well do it with you, too ^_^

How do you see Dai and Haruka interacting?

That sounds less confusing... But still not like my thing.
I've never actually played SWTOR, but I've heard lots of great things about it. I'm not much of a Star Wars fan (I've watched all of the movies and all, but I'm not like OMG about them), so I never really thought to play the game.

Wow, really? I'm mostly all about the X-Men RPs (I am a huge fan of the old comics). I'm going to ask you the dreaded question, then ... Who is your favorite Marvel character?

Yeah... Should they actually become friends (*gasp*), I imagine Haruka would constantly reminding him of how puny he is compared to her. ... Until she relizes that he can mock her back about the fact that she's a shrimp in height xD

If they show up, they show up. It can't really be avoided that we run into a few Cannon characters.
Who knows? Maybe they'll all wind up as Jounin with each their own genin teams some day. It all depends on how long people can be bothered to keep posting (and who dies and stuff).

TO ALL WHO CAN BE BOTHERED

I made a thing.

A "Haruka Growth Chart" or "Haruka Developement" thing. It's mostly about her muscles xD
Please keep in mind that I drew this and I am not an artist or anything; I ust doodle shit when I get bored.

Haruka Growth Chart

The Mad Hatter said How do you see Dai and Haruka interacting?

HUEHUEHUEHUE

Dai and Haruka, hmm… I thought we'd discussed the giant cleaver already, hehe. But otherwise, I see some interesting scenarios when he drives her to become stronger. His bluntness will tread on some feet, I'm sure.

As for Ryuu, Daiken will give him /the friendliest hell/. He doesn't like the brooding type, so he'll be sure to poke at him all the time ("Hey sword boy, come join the conversation!" "Sword boy, don't be so brooding!" And so forth, ad nauseam).

Considering these two statements....Ryuu will gladly support Haruka in her endeavors. Ryuu is stoic/cynical. Not Sasuke broody. He can be talkative, but he's very professional towards allies. Though...once he develops more of a friendship his...upbringing will make itself known.

I guess he'll have to develop some taijutsu to run away really really fast

[Pasta Sentient]

Was looking through Haruka's CS again and this made my mind laugh at the possibilities:

"Will of Steel

Haruka's will of steel is something that is believed to be inherited by the Hagane blood that flows in her veins. She is stubborn like few and once she gets an idea into her head, she will not stop until her goal has been accomplished."

For some reason I've now got in mind a Naruto-Sasuke kinda relationship where Haruka makes it her goal to be Ryuu's friend. lmao.

Haruka and Ryuu will develope a beautiful friendship based on harming Dai's testicles for saying things that should not be said -
"Ryuu, hold him! I'll kick his balls so hard they replace his eyes!" - Fact: I once said this to my little brother.

Once (if) Haruka finds out about Ryuu's past, she will hug the shit out of him. Like, with giant, teary eyes and squishing him like a teddy bear and swinging him back and forth (with his feet dragging on the round since she's so damn small) going "You poor, poor thing!" over and over again xD

She would be like that, if she decided that befriending Ryuu was something that she wanted to do. She'd follow him to the End of the World if that's what it took. If she set her mind on it, of course. She might not find him interesting enough for that.

Well... I have only accepted four cahracters yet and I have two in editing (or three, if Stranger ever shows up again), so I technically don't... But since I am in such a good mood, I'll allow just one more ^^

.:EDIT:.

D'oh.

I have three in editing (four if Stanger shows up). Right? Njorne, Shadowcatcher and ChibiYuki ...

Thank you sooo much. I read the plot and it is fantastic. Love the premise, I'll get started on my CS right away!
