Reaching the War (Naruto Universe RP)

[TouchOfInsanity]

It has been hundreds of years since The Great War was raging. The war that made all of the great villages ally themselves to beat a common foe. Peace reigned for a while, but as there is no such thing as a Utopia, it was only a few generations till the differences of the people again outweighed the commons. Now, war rages once more. We know this. We are taught about it at the Academy all the time. We are told of the brave men and women who risk and lose their lives in order to make sure that we, the students, will never see the effects of that war with our own eyes. They fight to bring it to an end, but the end is still so far away that it appears to be merely a fairy tale to help children sleep. It is hard to believe that the war is really there, when you are just a student inside the safety of not only a major village, but within the protected walls of the Academy, as well. You hear about it, but you never see it. But the war is there. Good shinobi are dying every day and before long, these sheltered little Academy students will be the ones on the front lines. Before long, they will be the ones risking their lives. Within the walls of the great Sunagakure no Sato, the youngsters are safer than any other place in the world, with the vast desert surrounding them and some of the best shinobi in the world guarding the gates. We start on the day of the genin exam. The teams have been made, the jounin have been assigned and all these kids have to do to go from Academy Students to Genin are pass the test their jounin give them. ------ I want only one, maybe two teams of genin with three kids and a jounin to each. I'm very flexible about ancestry and all that and I will allow, and encourage, as much originality as you can muster. Custom clans, techniques and weapons are all good and I'll even let you make your own Bloodline Limits. I want dedicated players who won't just up and leave, even if there is a lull in posting or the story progression is going “too slow”. I want this RP to be highly character-centric more than plot-centric so that character developments and relations are in focus. I'll explain more if questioned and/or when/if the OOC is made.

Height: (In both feet/inches and centimeters) Weight: (In both pounds and kilograms) Hair Color: (Pretty much anything goes in the Narutoverse) Hair Style: (Try and describe it) Eye Color: (Goes without saying) Clothing: (An orange jumpsuit? Really?) Personality Traits (Make a list of personality traits and explain them; i.e.: Tactician. Xxxx is naturally adept at combat strategy and maximizing team efficiency. His mind sees the best possible route to accomplish something on the battlefield. Or; Missing Tooth During one of her many trainings, Oooo was unfortunate and clumsy enough to fall face-first onto a rock, knocking out one of her front teeth. Even more unluckily, it was a permanent tooth. This results in her speaking sort of funny, with a slight "lisp" and, sometimes, she makes small whistle noises by accident, which she finds very embarrasing. Like that.) Likes and Dislikes (Bulletpoint lists are fine.) Worries and Fears (Oooo is extremely insecure about her appearance, due to the fact that her bulging muscle is far from feminine. Oooo is claustrophobic to the point that even just being detained in a way where she is not able to move freely will cause her severe distress and actually being locked in a small room will reduce her to a blubbering pile of tears in a fetus position on the ground.) Hopes and Dreams (Naruto wants to be Hokage... Stuff like that.) Ninja Information Clan/Bloodline (Clan name and notable ancestors; i.e. Xxxx is of the Sausageroll Clan, but his great-great-great-grand-mother was of the Hyuuga clan, thus bringing the Byakuugan into the gene pool. Or; The Sausageroll clan are a great clan of the Poop Village. Although they carry a different name, most of their ancestors are actually of the Hyuuga clan. Like that.)

Friends (NPC friends, just to give your character depth.) Other Characters (Place your characters perception of others' characters here; i.e.: Xxxx met Oooo on their first day of the Academy and was instantly irked by her happy-go-lucky attitude and the fact that she seemed to stumble on every pebble within a mile radius of her two left feet. Her blatant ignorance towards the workings of chakra and how to utilize it makes him want to permanently attach his palm to his face in the most epic facepalm in all of history. Or; Oooo never really got the feeling that Xxxx thought much of her. He always seemed to flat-out hate her, despite her best attempts to woo him into friendship. He seems a bit too quiet and brooding for her taste and she never really knew how to interact with him without aggravating him. Like that.)

Jutsu Sheet

Name: (Name of the jutsu. Preferably in both English and Japanese) Classification (Hiden, medical, doujutsu, kinjutsu, ect.) Rank: (E-S Rank) Effect: (What is the effect of the jutsu?) Drawback: (What, if anything, is the drawback of the jutsu?)

Custom Jutsu

When making your own jutsu, there are several things to take into consideration that you usually do not have to think about when just copy/pasting from Narutopedia or something of the like. A custom made jutsu should be balanced; the amount of chakra, concentration and/or physical strain of the technique should match the effect of the outcome. You will also need to think about things like chakra nature of the jutsu (Jutsu Nature), the rank of the technique and classification (ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu ect.). You can read more about those things below. [hider2=Jutsu Nature] What is jutsu nature? Well, it is the chakra nature that is needed to preform a certain technique. A fire release technique will require a user with fire nature chakra and a earth release technique will require a user with earth nature. An element-based technique is as such called an Element Release. When making your custom techniques, you will need to keep this in mind. Now, the main chakra natures are Katon (Fire), Fuuton (Wind), Raiton (Lightning), Douton (Earth) and Suiton (Water). Kekkei Genkai are about to mix and match these chakras to make new elements, such as Wind and Water making Ice. [/hider2] [hider2=Jutsu Classifications] What do I mean by “classifications”? I mean, which category of jutsu does your specific technique fit? There are many categories to take into consideration when making your own techniques. First of all, you need to think of whether the technique is ninjutsu, taijutsu or genjutsu. These are the three main classifications. Ninjutsu is offensive or defensive techniques that require chakra use, has a physical outcome and is out of the spectrum of what regular humans can actually do. Taijutsu is hand-to-hand combat or any type of physical combat that does not require the use of chakra, but rather raw stamina, strength and/or speed. Genjutsu are illusionary techniques that does not have any actual physical outcome, but makes things seem different from what they actually are. These three classifications are already divided on the sheet, but there is a classification point on the Jutsu Sheet anyways, because there are more classifications than the main three. All other classifications are still part of one of the main three, but they also have a “second title” and/or“third title”, so to speak. A technique can have multiple classifications, but it does not necessarily have more than one. Hiden Jutsu (Secret/Family Techniques) Kinjutsu (Forbidden Techniques) Doujutsu (Eye Techniques) Kenjutsu (Sword Techniques) Bukijutsu (Weapon Techniques) Kekkaijutsu (Barrier Techniques) Bunshinjutsu (Clone Techniques) Fuuinjutsu (Sealing Techniques) Iryoujutsu (Medical Techniques) Senjutsu (Sage Techniques) Kekkei Genkai (Bloodline Limit) [/hider2] [hider2=Jutsu Ranks] It can sometimes be hard to tell what rank a technique is and when in doubt you can always ask, but try and see if you cannot figure it out on your own, first. E-rank: E-rank techniques are weak, to say the least. They are academy student level and are required for a student to even pass the academy. If you were to make an E-rank technique of your own, for whatever reason, it should have very little chakra cost and very little effect. The effect should not be offensive or in any way able to do physical harm. Examples; Bunshin no Jutsu (Clone Technique), Henge no Jutsu (Transformation Technique). D-rank: D-rank techniques are weak. They are genin level and are expected of a genin. If you make a D-rank technique of your own, it should have low chakra cost, low concentration and low effects. The effect can be offensive, defensive or illusionary. Many D-rank techniques seem to be extensions of the already learned E-rank techniques, so the genin can get comfortable with using stronger techniques before they are actually required to. I.e Shikyaku no Jutsu (Four Legs Technique) is an extension of Henge no Jutsu (Transformation Technique) as the user will use the same basics as in a transformation, but instead of copying the appearance of another, they take the shape of a more beastly self. Examples; Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique), Kirigakure no Jutsu (Hidden Mist Technique). C-rank: C-rank techniques are average or medium. They are genin to chuunin level and are required for a genin to become a chuunin. The C-rank techniques are where chakra nature, bloodline limits and secret/family techniques come into the picture. When making your own C-rank techniques, you need to start thinking about the balance between effort and effect. Examples; B-rank: B-rank techniques are strong. They are chuunin to jounin level and are required for a chuunin to become jounin. B-rank techniques have high costs, requires massive amounts of chakra and serious concentration. They do not necessarily have a high drawback, but the risk is certainly greater than with a C-rank technique. Examples; Shikon no Jutsu (Dead Soul technique), Doton: Doryuuheki (Earth Release: Earth Wall). A-rank: Most A-rank techniques are forbidden, due to the fact that they pose a risk to the user. They are required for a jounin to rise past the norm and stand out enough to be appointed a kage. The cost and/or drawback of an A-rank technique should be higher than the effect/outcome. Examples; Chidori (One Thousand Birds), Rasengan (Spiraling Sphere). S-rank: S-rank techniques are all forbidden and have both extreme costs and effects. They are usually specific to a single user. Examples; Sousou Saisei (Creation Rebirth), Hiraishin no Jutsu (Flying Thunder God Technique). [/hider2] [hider2=Kekkei Genkai] A Kekkei Genkai, Bloodline Limit, Blood Inheritance or whatever you want to call it (I will usually call it a KG) is a technique that is limited by blood and usually are held within a single clan. A KG is most commonly the ability to mix and match two different chakra natures into making a new one, like Wind and Water making Ice or the ability to manipulate ones body in a way that one would normally not be able to, like bones growing excessively or becoming liquid form. All known Doujutsu (Eye Techniques) are KG. [/hider2]

I'm interested

yay another Naruto rp , but would be nice if there was an example of a character sheet and any rules if any and maybe a bit more info but anyways its Naruto who would not be interested

[edgeout]

I am indeed interested in another Naruto RP. However, is this set in cannon? Picking off where it left off or is it another Naruto Universe where extinctions of certain clans did not happen?

[LetterA]

@Aura Lodestone

same

[TouchOfInsanity]

Oh. Lots of interest. Awesome. For the character sheet and rules; I'm working on it on my other laptop. I'm currently in the process of moving so I will have it ready by the weekend (Saturday). As for the setting... I was want it to be somewhat canon, maybe with a few alterations. But the end of the series would have been hundreds of years ago in the RP. This allows some advancement in technology, society and so on. Personally, I've always found it that a roleplay lives longer and works better if everyone work together to get the details right. I will have more information on the advancement I was thinking of once I get to my other computer ^^ The extinction of certain clans, however, can always be "fixed" by bastard children, runaways ect. .:EDIT:. Oh... I found my other laptop. Here's the CS

[Aura Lodestone]

since you say how much chakra etc... it feels like there might be numbers involved, how we going to balance making a jutsu if we have no idea what the numbers are? I also like to know how we suppose to learn the body type figures so we basically not going to use faceclaims or deviant art pics for appearance? Anyways looking forward to Saturday

[TouchOfInsanity]

@Aura Lodestone

I didn't mean for it to seem like there were numbers involved, as I was not planning on anything of the like. When I ask "How much?" I mean to describe in words how much chakra your character has. Here is a quick little example of what I mean: - Despite the fact that Oooo's control of her chakra is far from great, she is not very likely to run out of it. She has copious amounts of chakra for her to use, mostly due to her excessive training in an attempt to perfect her Muscle Enhancement Techniques.

I also like to know how we suppose to learn the body type figures so we basically not going to use faceclaims or deviant art pics for appearance?

@Aura Lodestone

I do not quite understand the question, I am afraid.

[El Taco Taco]

At the risk of losing all my street cred I'm interested. I should have a rough character up by tonight.

[rextremendum]

I have a quick question before I make a character: Can a ninja dodge a bullet?

[TouchOfInsanity]

I have a quick question before I make a character: Can a ninja dodge a bullet?

@rextremendum

Of course not. Unless they've got some sick Plot-Armor :p

[rextremendum]

So can I make a character who understands basic ballistic mechanics, and uses ninja magic to move very small pieces of lead very quickly and accurately, spending much much less energy than flashier jutsu? I think it would be a cool dynamic, personally. Maybe he/she would have a DOPE sheet on their own chakra. That would be cool as shit. EDIT: Wait, I just realized that Naruto for some reason mixes in a whole bunch of modern technology, like televisions, electricity etc. Can I just have a gun? Maybe play some sort of pioneer in the field of ranged weapons dedicated to proving my sensei Clausewitz's theories on the effects of gunpowder weaponry in war through field trials. I could even spin it to have a sort of proletarian bent, preaching about taking power away from the ninja. Quote the great Sand Village Ninja "John Moses Browning", and remind the non-ninja that "Kami made man, but Samuel Colt made them equal"

@rextremendum

Actually, I was thinking something along those lines as well. I wanted guns (some guns, at least) to be one of the advancements the world had made and for a revolution to be brewing amongst the civilians (AKA those without chakra). While the ninja are raging war against one another, the civilians would be allying towards the common goal of no longer being oppressed by those born with the power to mold chakra. I already have a few NPCs and such planned; one of those being the inventor of the first "gun", a genius who engineers weaponry for ninja, and his apprentice. I wanted both of them to be civilians, but where the inventor is a supporter of the ninja ways, the apprentice feels that the civilians are oppressed by it and as such, uses his Master's new invention to level the playing field and begin the revolution. I didn't plan to actually introduce the revolution till later on in the game, though...

[rextremendum]

Oh god yes. That sounds so fucking raw. Let me play a ninja who has minimal chakra and is generally pretty shit, but knows how to operate a firearm, and let me play a character who tries to explain to the ninja authorities the incredible capabilities of asymmetric modern warfare. Worst case scenario I play a ninja who is just fucking useless, and then he discovers firearms later in the game, and takes to them like a pig to filth. I can't wait to see the Ninja version of the Soviet-Afgan war, in which an army of ninja are made fools of by hardened, under-equipped guerrilla fighters who bleed the invaders dry in inhospitable terrain.

[Howler]

It's been a while since I did anything with Naruto. I'll give it a go.

I assume we're puking profiles up here. If not, I can replace this post with photos of adorable kitties, as if by magic.

Kohaku has coloured her bangs dark brown. Hair Style: All over the place; Kohaku is just as likely to wear ringlet curls as an artfully messy bun or a heavy braid. Her hair is her primary source of vanity and reaches the middle of her back. In training, she tends to wear it in a neatly coiffed ponytail. Eye Color: Pale grey. Clothing: Kohaku favors loose, light clothing to combat the desert heat that still offers freedom of movement. Black knee high sandals with shin guards meet black compression shorts and a high necked, sleeveless cream blouse, usually open at the stomach. She has her senbon and shuriken holsters on her right leg, with a scroll pack and canteen at her lower back. She keeps her forehead protector as a belt and has a loose, cream, red, and black headscarf looped and secured around her neck for easy access as needed. Kohaku wears heavy, reinforced black fingerless gloves to stabilize her wrists and to provide protection in combat. Kohaku accessorizes with trendy splashes of colour; a red scarf on her right arm, a massive and sheer patterned scarf tied at her hip, covering most of her left leg. The scarves make handy emergency bandages, can be tied to provide better sun protection, make excellent cooling devices when wet and are, perhaps most importantly, ridiculously cute.

Personality

Traits

Assertive

Kohaku is self-assured: she is well aware of her limitations as an aspiring shinobi, and equally as cognizant of her strengths. Her confidence lends her thick skin to shrug off most insults and gossip. She rarely second guesses herself, but she readily admits to her own inadequacies. Others, especially less confident people, tend to look to her for answers.

Relentless

When she has a goal in mind, Kohaku is nigh on unstoppable. Whether studying or training, she will throw herself entirely into her task. Single minded in her work, it can be difficult to remind Kohaku to do simple things like eat or sleep when focused.

Curious

Deeply inquisitive, Kohaku genuinely likes to learn. She pores over books in her off time, whether history, theory, or fiction. Prone to asking questions and snooping, she often gets herself in trouble in her pursuit of all the best knowledge and gossip.

Loyal

Devoted to both family and village, Kohaku is almost blind in her willingness to do as asked. She was raised to trust in the judgment of her elders and to follow their advice. With her friends, she is quick to provide support and exact revenge when wronged. Once accepted into her inner circle, it is nearly impossible to lose her favor.

Vindictive

Forgive and forget? More like resent and remember. While she might not care about simple mockery or gossip, Kohaku tallies deeper offences, especially against her loved ones, and she doesn’t let them slide. She relishes the opportunity to humiliate those who have made their way onto her shit list.

Judgmental

Kohaku is prone to snap judgments about nearly everyone: poor dressers, obnoxious idiots, arrogant assholes, weirdoes, cowards, so on and so forth. She is reluctant to give up her views on others until she is proven demonstrably wrong. She treats those she views as undesirable considerably less well than those she deems cool.

Combative

Kohaku relishes a good fight. Whether simple sparring or exacting revenge, Kohaku tends to leap into things with her fists and a jutsu on her tongue. Energized by the thrill of combat, it often leads her into trouble as she pursues the rush.

Worries and Fears The loss of her family to the war deeply troubles Kohaku. Several of her older aunts and uncles have already died or been maimed. Of nineteen cousins (fourteen of which are shinobi or in the Academy), eight are presently deployed, alongside her two older siblings. Kohaku is terrified of going to war, having heard dozens of stories from her relatives. However, more than her fear of war, she is utterly wrecked by the thought of not reaching the frontlines herself. Hopes and Dreams Kohaku has very generic aspirations; be a good shinobi, serve the village, help protect her family. She hasn’t quite figured out what these dreams mean exactly, but they sound right.

Ninja Information

Clan/Bloodline The Shunki are not quite a clan, but they are definitely more than a simple family. Numbering nearly thirty members, their ninjutsu is united only very loosely. The Shunki are exceptionally close, living almost exclusively on the same street. They lack a bloodline talent and have not kept detailed records of their ancestry. They do, however, share a summoning contract, and all Shunki learn to summon weasels. Chakra Nature Raiton Chakra Amount and Control Kohaku has a moderate chakra supply and rather unpredictable control. Notably, her chakra behaves with violent sparks and arcs, tainting almost all of her techniques with electricity. She is effectively incapable of handling Fuuton based techniques.

Jutsu

General Skills

E-D Ranked Skills. Body Replacement Technique (Kawarimi no Jutsu)

This jutsu lets the user quickly switch places with another nearby object, such as a plant (normally a section of a log), an animal, or even another person within reach, leaving the opponent open to a counter-attack. Explosive tags can be attached to the replacement for an added surprise. Fundamentally, all ninja know this technique.

Cloak of Invisibility Technique (Kakuremino no Jutsu)

This jutsu allows a ninja to take a cloak or a piece of cloth and blend into an object, making themselves invisible.

Clone Technique (Bunshin no Jutsu)

This technique creates a clone of the user, but it is an illusion, not a real copy like the Shadow Clone Technique. The illusions will dissipate when they come into contact with anything. A person with normal eyes can distinguish clones from the original if they watch very carefully.

Exploding Tag: Activate (Jibaku Fuda: Kassei)

Utilizing chakra, a ninja is able to activate the explosion mechanism of a distant bomb tag.

Projectile Weapons (Tobidogu)

In order to store and use large items or various weapons that the user would never be capable of carrying normally, the user can keep them contained within summoning scrolls.

Rope Escape Technique (Nawanuke no Jutsu)

A basic technique taught at the Ninja academy, this jutsu allows a ninja to free themselves if they have been tied up.

Ninjutsu Kohaku is reasonably gifted at ninjutsu, and has spent considerable time practicing.

Ninjutsu

Raikyū, 雷球, literally "Lightning Ball" English TV: "Lightning Ball" Rank and Classification: C-Rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m). Bukijutsu Effect: By gathering chakra between his twin swords, Raiga creates a ball of electrical energy and launches it at the enemy. (Kohaku modifies this by using her metal knuckles) Drawbacks: Kohaku hasn’t totally mastered the ability, and still struggles with controlling it. *Custom Name: Arashi Yobigoe no Jutsu (Storm-Calling Technique) Rank and Classification: C-Rank, Offensive, Mid-range (10-15 m). Effect: Charges the air in a fifteen metre radius around Kohaku, and generates chakra-filled bolts of lightning that target either the tallest marks around, or someone branded by her ball-lightning. Drawbacks: The random nature of the lightning bolts make it exceedingly difficult to predict where the bolts strike, and the heavily static-charged air makes creating flames dangerous due to the explosive hazard.

Taijutsu This is where Kohaku shines—nimble, vicious, and surprisingly strong, she loves to get in close and hit hard, favoring steel knuckles and recklessness. She ranked second for taijutsu in her graduating class. This strongly motivates her to focus her training on her hand-to-hand combat. Come hell or high water, Kohaku is determined to be the best.

Taijutsu

Nothing specific at the moment. Kohaku will learn specific techniques as the game progresses.

Genjutsu Kohaku has almost no aptitude for genjutsu. She struggled to learn the basics. As such, she rather distrusts the discipline, and tends to neglect it.

Genjutsu

Equipment

Senbon (10), Shuriken (10), Flash Bombs (2), Explosive Tags (10), Steel Knuckles/trench knives (1 pair), Wire (15 feet), Minor First Aid Kit, Canteen.

Biography

Parents' History By the time Shunki Hideo had made Jounin, the family had sprawled across the neighborhood and swollen the ranks of Suna’s army. The eldest of eight, he was always an exceptional shinobi and leader. Matsumoto Manami went to the Academy against her parent’s wishes—an only daughter of civilians, they didn’t understand the appeal of such a violent life. Manami took to her studies like a house on fire. She surged through the ranks, making Jounin by twenty two. Hideo and Manami met on a mission and were married within the year. Manami took brief maternity leaves and moved into the Hunter Nin Corps ten years ago. Early Childhood Kohaku’s childhood was loud. Bouncing between her own house and the households of whatever Aunts and Uncles were available when her parents were on missions, she was constantly surrounded by a flock of cousins and trailing close after her sister. When her parents were home, they were devoted and warm, reading stories to their children after long days getting into mischief and studying. Academy Years There was never any doubt that Kohaku would enroll in the Academy. Desperate to be like Nobuo and Shizuka, who graduated at the top of their classes, Kohaku threw herself into her studies. She was reasonably well liked by her teachers, and formed a small group of friends who looked to her for leadership. However, Kohaku made plenty of rivals and enemies with her abrasive and competitive nature. She spent many afternoons being disciplined for various offences. Today Kohaku is in the process of calming down and growing up. Her life is in wild flux at the moment; with the war worsening, more and more of her family has been sent to the front lines. Her mother has been on missions almost constantly for the past year, and her father was recently wounded in combat. She is determined to make genin and join the war effort, even as she’s seeing the terrible consequences of war ravaging her loved ones. Kohaku takes every opportunity available to spend time with her siblings. Nobuo tends to lecture her on history or on new techniques he has learned, and they often stay up late into the night talking over tea. Above all else, she looks forward to her time with Shizuka. Despite the five year age gap, they are extraordinarily close and practically inseparable. Shizuka insists on avoiding all things shinobi in their outings, instead indulging in simple pleasures and taking the time to be young girls instead of weapons.

Sheet will be up today

[edgeout]

Half-way done with my sheet. Going to post when OCC up :3

[Aura Lodestone]

<Snipped quote by Aura Lodestone> I didn't mean for it to seem like there were numbers involved, as I was not planning on anything of the like. When I ask "How much?" I mean to describe in words how much chakra your character has. Here is a quick little example of what I mean: - Despite the fact that Oooo's control of her chakra is far from great, she is not very likely to run out of it. She has copious amounts of chakra for her to use, mostly due to her excessive training in an attempt to perfect her Muscle Enhancement Techniques. <Snipped quote by Aura Lodestone> I do not quite understand the question, I am afraid.

@TouchOfInsanity

what I mean is most rp's either have people do a faceclaim of a character from a different anime or manga (anything but the source) and then give brief details on appearance matching up with the said image... Like someone creates a shinobi who has mastered genjutsu and feeling that their character is smart evil and has a cool guy who seemed to ditch his glasses type character he could faceclaim Aizen from Bleach Or have people take a random anime/manga or picture they have drawn in appearance and then add some minor description underneath so to speak or mention things hidden like tattoos etc...

Sorry GM, I'm slammed with schoolwork I forgot about, so the CS will take a while
