I got it. I'm prepared anyway and I advise everyone to update all your character sheets once arc 2.5 end.

@Akashi Mayhiro W-why would she ever concede the locations of a bloody illegal hideout to a shinobi, who is more or less a law enforcer in a few ways.

Really, Momoi isn't even supposed to know that the Minamoru are Yakuza affiliated. Somehow it's become common knowledge without my knowing it?

[Akashi Mayhiro]

@Partisan

It's a stretch by she doesn't need to tell them about the yakuza whereabouts. She could simply kick them out after chihiro cleared the room she was in. Momoi on the other hand stumbles into a room to scared customers. She will react in typical gypsy fashion.

It not a knowledge, but hunch since she vists often, when she is not in disguise of course.

@Akashi Mayhiro
IT took Jacob to point it out, but there seems to be a misunderstanding. Jaakuna got Tsukiko the snack and Takeshi was suposed to get the beers.

Limping inside the Hotel, Jaakuna would speak, "I got the snack for Tsukiko. You get the beers, Takeshi." Jaakuna said, going over to the mini-refrigerator and grabbing a stick of Beef Jerky for Tsukiko. He handed it to her and would take a seat on the ground as if like a behaved dog.

@Altered Tundra

Takeshi does what he fucking wants. Deal with it.

[Partisan]

This is exactly why he will never be jonin. :D

Yopparai Ramu Koku

“With no booze, whores and cussing, life would be a lot less interesting, don't 'cha think ya big cunt?”

Despite what the above picture would like to make you believe, Yopparai (meaning 'Drunkard' as if it was pre-destined by his parents) is a lot less charming than he seems to be. Over the course of his escape he's grown a rougher beard, and dropped the smile. He looks more like a pirate that has no ship now, than the charming man seen above. In fact.. he acts more like a pirate than a shinobi, too.

Yopparai has since his escape dropped the half kimono looking thing that he wore before hand, and switched it for something a bit more manly, and daring. He's kept the black-red undershirt and has grown out some chesthair, that pokes out with no shame. Under that he wears simple blue trousers and calve-high leather boots, strapped tightly with several straps and buckles. From his right shoulder to his left hip he wears a leather strap for attaching his sword to.

---

Psych. report.
Medical secrecy applies.

【Personality】
Drinking, murder, sex, theft, robberies, smoking, in other words doing whatever the hell you want, that's all Yopparai's bussiness. If you say 'lets go kill some people!' Yopparai would raise his glass and come along. If you said 'lets go fuck some wenches!' he'd be the first to reach them, trousers nearly unbuttoned already. And above all, drinking is his game. There has not been a single person in the history of mankind, alive or dead, male or female, that could beat him in a game of drinking. That should tell you something about his habits and lifestyle.. he's a true lecher, who lives a debaucherous lifestyle filled with robbing, murdering, raping, thieving, and generally having fun all around the world.

If he likes you, or you are not a primary target to him (he's not dumb, he knows who are good targets and who have nothing) he could actually be what one would describe as a 'friend' though his less-honest ways leave much to be desired. And although he might be a bastard, he does live to some form of a honor code, something akin to a thieves' laws, but more befitting of a shinobi.

Don't kill those who are no threat or harm to you, don't steal from those that have very little already, blablablabla.. who cares Yopparai, just do what you want and feel is right.. - excerpt from his diaries detailing his 'honor code'.

.. sidenote: always kill people that you don't like, they usually end up being a pain in the ass if you don't do it the first time you can. Unless you like them or they have a great pair of tits. - a small bit of scrabbled, sloppily written text next to the excerpt.

There is extensive information available on Yopparai, and you could probably fill an entire library just with his bingo book information, so he is not mysterious at all. In fact, he's probably one of the most forthcoming with his wrongdoings, and acknowledges them as being bad. But in his words, 'a criminal knows that what he does is bad, he just doesn't care' and that is exactly why Yopparai is a threat to society - he doesn't care what he does. Power wise a team of ANBU or nin-hunters should be able to take him down, but he has evaded the groups sent after him with relative ease and above all.. he holds a valuable artifact that we wish to remain unharmed. As such his capture and death would be a touchy issue for Kirigakure.

【History】
Yopparai was born as a son to man x. No, that is not some vague name for a super hero, or a name for a mysterious man in a suit that controls the world. It's simply the name that the intelligence corps gave to Yopparai's father after he filed over 200 formal requests, 159 informal requests, 21 verbal threats, and 2 threats with actual violence involved, to find out who his father was. There was never really any result, because his reckless nature and uncompliant nature meant it was very difficult to even trace how old Yopparai was, let alone who his father was.

His mother on the other hand was (at her time) a well known whore named the Scarlet Dragon who worked at a (at that time) well known whorehouse called the Underhouse. Ofcourse that was just a cliché name for a whore, who used it to gain fame and more clientele. It seemed to have worked as her fame grew and, at her height, she was known all the way to Konoha. Her real name was less exciting, as she was named Misa Keikumoto. Anyway, after she gave birth to Yopparai she decided to name him after his father. And since she had no name, and his father was (according to her) a drunkard, his name was to be Yopparai Ramu Koku, since that was the drink he ordered for Misa when they met up the first time. Long story short, she was pissed off because being pregnant stranded her with no income for a small while (5 months or so, she claims, but probably she worked longer anyway because she didn't care). And because she was pissed off she must've thought Yopparai was a joke, and named him drunkard. Because no employer will look at that name and hire him anyway.

He didn't do well in school either, after all he was the son of a whore and he got taught at an early age to not give a shit about other people. Only those in your inner circle matter, and they're replaceable too, so you best not care too much about those people either. He wanted to be an asskicker, though, so he got enrolled into the shinobi academy. Well, actually, he enrolled himself by faking the signature for the paper, and then when his mother found out got a firm beating because she couldn't afford the school. Somehow they made it though, no thanks to his mom, as she forced him to work a part time job on the side to afford the school.

One of the lessons he remembered the best from his mother was the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb, a saying that many people get wrong, but that he remembered and imprinted into his mind carefully. Friendships are stronger than family and forced relationships, because you choose them. As such, you are in full control over who you like..

This led him to ultimately abandon his mother. He moved out and never contacted her again, and she seemed fine with this. Recently she passed away after a long time in the hospital due to lung cancer (she liked to smoke) but Yopparai didn't really seem to care.

Anyway, after abandoning his mother things went better, he was no longer forced to put up with all the crazy shit surrounding living in a whorehouse, and he got to focus on his career. At the age of 16 it became apparent that he excelled in swordplay and was soon focussing primarily on that as well as forming his own hiden ninjutsu techniques. Soon after he got recruited into the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist. He found himself holding Shibuki the Blastsword, a destructive tool very befitting of this man. He managed to master it in four years and earned a spot amongst the seven swordsmen. But as fortune would have it, Yopparai was just like almost every other swordsman of the mist before him, and he quickly abandoned his village in favour of personal fame. He took Shibuki with him.. ofcoure he would. He doesn't give a shit about stuff like stealing.

Anyway, he thus earned a double kill order - one for stealing a relic of the past, a treasured artifact of Kirigakure, the other for being a missing nin. And soon after records started piling up - murder, theft, robberies, public nudity, indecent exposure, illegal alcohol brewing, tax evasion, privacy invasion, selling womens used (and stolen) panties. His most serious offense however, is not the murder, theft or going missing nin, nor stealing the artifact sword. His most serious offense..

is taking panty shot pictures of the Mizukage before his daring escape from the village. They remain private for now, but he's made it very clear he will release them to the public to showcase the horror that the photos are. Why a horror? Because this panty shot picture.. lacks the panty.

【Family ties】
Describe shortly what type of family your character grew up in, how the ties were and how this influenced him. After that fill in form below, for all family members of importance, living or dead.

Man X | Father | ???
Scarlet Dragon, Misa Keikumoto | Mother | Deceased

【Dreams and fears】
Personal glory and fame, ofcourse! He wants his name to be known and whether that is as a good or bad person, he doesn't really care about that. His fears are pretty much the exact opposite, he's afraid of not being acknowledged and thus can't stand when people ignore him or underestimate him.

A preview of a character that we'll see, hopefully soon, when the plot goes ahead and hurries up a bit.

[Kimono]

I don't think I've ever participated in a naruto rp before. Could you guys add me to a reserve list or something for when it opens back up? I'd love to throw a character in here.

[Partisan]

@Kimono Actually some of the people that we were expecting to join (and thus, we closed the RP after their submittals) haven't come through and posted or had some troubles.

As such I can offer you a spot right away. Would that work as well?

@Partisan

Oh definitely! Sounds wonderful! Thanks! But, would it be hard to jump into without any prior knowledge of your story so far?

[Partisan]

@Kimono Not exactly if your character is a new chunin, since there's actually chunin exams happening soon. We're about to jump into a new plot, too, and most of the stuff so far I can explain to you in a nutshell if you've any questions.

Also, we have a skype group where you can always ask stuff. :p

@Partisan

Alright then. I'll see what kind of character I can come up with, preferably non-shitty. lolol And I don't actually have a skype, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to make one.

Also, I'm a bit on the slower side, so a brief synopsis would be much appreciated. :P

[Partisan]

@Kimono I don't wanna force you to make skype but we have everyone on there save 1 member, it's been helpful so far.

lolol, no no, I don't mind. I'll download skype right now and whip up an account. Just give me a few minutes.

[Partisan]

@Kimono As for your short summary;

The story began aprox... 3 months before current events, I think, but I'm not too sure. Doesn't matter really. Anyway we started with a group of fresh chuunin graduates, who basically just got their chunin exams finished and were now chunins. Aoi threw a party and then bad shit happened, 3 kids died and Yamato was implicated in it. After some other stuff, the group then set out (partly) to deal with the miscreants that turned out to be Jashinists, followers of Jashin who were actually after Yamato and his sister. Blabla, big fight, shit went down and Yamato got in arguments with just about anyone (so 90% of the crew hates him), they kill the ringleader and basically shit goes back to normal. More or less.

Shin later contacts Yamato to figure out what the Jashinists have actually done but J8cob hasn't really gotten round to finish that. *ahem* @J8cob Anyway, we did some small mini-missions as a in between kinda thing for arc 1 and 2, to give us time to settle arc 2 in. In this time Takeshi steps forward and reveals some information to Yamato about the Jashinists, revealing he was part of the cult at some point. Hmm.. Aoi, Daiki and Haruka get some experience leading a team, essentially 'stuff happens'. If you want a rundown of a specific character you're better off asking those people because (obviously) I remember mostly what my own characters did or were involved in.

Arc 2 was focused on retrieving a set of scrolls, so hence we called it the Arc Retrieval Scroll. The actual retrieval wasn't the interesting part (not for me anyway) and it went pretty smooth. But when they went to deliver the scrolls to the secluded land of Iron, they were set upon by two mighty Shinobi namely Kusaru, leader of the Keihatsu, and Gian, her mysterious accomplice played by Savato. There was a small scrimmage between the two groups, with Daiki, Yamato, Saburo and Sentou attacking Kusaru and Gian, who barely even had to fight because the rest of the Konoha nin moved to stop Daiki, Yamato and Sentou. Saburo did some sharingan genjutsu shit but that didn't work on Gian (how CURIOUS hmmmmmmm). The duo of Keihatsu have some chitchat with Ayame and Fujitora, two siblings that are respectively the hokage's assistant and the jonin commander, then leave. Everyone is like 'oh wow they're so supa strong so wierd'.

The mission was completed during the night to avoid further danger (well, more because the rest of the mission would be a bit boring. ) Then we had our current arc, which was missions again. I recommend you read Miyaka's posts, they're quite funny as she makes Tsukiko, Daiki, Takeshi and Jaakuna work for their money and fucks them up in the meantime (she made Tsukiko break her own arm). It was cool so we're intending to bring her back at some point, just cause. Aoi and Akio had a sparring match which was interesting (I ship it) where as newcomer Gin and Yamato almost immediately get in a fight, Haruka leads a team and Giichi goes with them. Meanwhile Saburo and Shouken spar a bit, but that's not done yet.

Momoi and Chihiro trash Yamato's mothers' restaurant but they do it in a fake outfit so I can't really go and kick their asses for it (lucky them).

Some other important things to note are that for conflicts, we have made Yamato and Momoi, as well as Nobunaga prodigies. That means they're basically just stronger. You can read about that in the rules.. I advise you also read the locations, there's some interesting stuff in there and it might give you ideas on where to start your character.

Also there's a 2.5 year timeskip coming up (yes it's long but we have our reasons) so you can choose to accomodate for this and have an older chunin, or you can just roll with a fresh graduate. If you want a fresh graduate, you could evne work on some previous non-IC relationships between Rei Minamoru (Yamato's lil sis), Rin Reikan, which is Sundance Kids/Altered Tundra's character, Giichi Uzumaki (ahem, I mean Naruto) which is Renny's, and Mia Uchiha, which is Masaki's character.

[Kimono]

@Partisan Eyes---watering---Brain---overloading---*DEAD* lolol But honestly, thank you so much for that synopsis. It's lovely. The whole thing sounds so interesting, im sort of salty that I missed it all. 2.5 year time skip, how old would my chuunin be, like whats the age range for a typical chuunin?

Also, is the next arc the 2.5year time-skip you mentioned?

P.S. Kusaru is so beautiful, but what about a pic for the Gian person. What does he look like?

[Partisan]

@Kimono I tried looking up the sheet for Gian but I think @Savato never posted it. Not publicly, as I have it in my PM's, but you'll have to ask him.

Yes, the next arc is after the 2.5 year timeskip. It'll be Masaki's arc and I think it'll revolve mainly around demons, but don't quote me on that. Typical age range.. I think so far we've seen characters 16 and up, with most being around 16, and a few above 20.

[Kimono]

@Partisan

Okay, its no big deal. I'll leave his appearance up to my imagination. lol 16-20s. Okay, got it. I'll get started on a character sheet ASAP. BTW, I'm really sorry, but I'm on my chromebook right now, so I can't download skype on it. Once I get on my main laptop I will. Cross my heart!

[Partisan]

@Kimono Don't worry, I'll hound you into it.

[Kimono]

@Kimono Don't worry, I'll hound you into it.

@Partisan

:P sounds good! My memory is pathetically fickle. I'll get started on the character right away though.
