Yo, I'm interested. I haven't had a nice Naruto Rp in a while. I was wondering about clans and their restrictions, though. I planned on making an Uchiha(or at the very least had enough in him to use the Sharingan in the very far future, but I wanted to check it with you first)or something along the lines of it. How do you feel about that?
Uchiha are 100% fine. I guess we'll just not ask about how he came to be. Maybe Sarada was already conceived when Sasuke died.
@Redrum Don't feel intimidated. Yes, I'm an asshole, and Savato is an asshole.. and 90% of the time the entire RP population is assholes..
Maybe you should be intimidated. A little bit. But only just enough to feel more motivated to try your best. Or some hippie stuff like that. We'll grow on you soon enough.
Also ETA on the OOC is probably somewhere after next week because Savato is going to paradise.
@Animus As they died and things reverted to the previous state of diplomacy and war came again I'd say we're gonna focus on the 'old' technology level. It seems unlikely that such (relatively) massive breakthroughs were made in a state of wariness, and also, it is just the best imo because we've had high-tech levels before (or semi high-tech) and it kinda ruins the feel of shinobi when you can have a metal bracelet that shoots out a chakra shield somehow.
+ most hightech things already have a replacement in the Narutoworld.
There were headsets in the universe etc. So if there's a specific item a character needs it can be talked about.
“Some may call that day a day of triumph, but me, I just see the rebirth of a never ending circle that has nothing to do with the Uchiha or the Uzumaki. It goes far, far beyond that. We are back to what we were. Some would be so disillusioned to say that we took a step back, but truthfully we never moved forwards.”
Hello and welcome to my thread. This RP will be taking place in the Narutoverse - the place we all know and love. Just kidding. I hate the universe. Or rather, there are large parts of it that don't make sense to me, and don't appeal to me. That is why I will be changing the universe a bit. Therefore the RP will take place in an AU, an alternate universe. This will be described a bit later, so you can get the 'full story' of what has transpired.
This RP will also feature a more slice-of-life approach, although the usage of that term is debatable. We will of course still do plenty of missions, but we like character interaction as much as the fights in Naruto, and as such we place a prominent focus on the character interactions as well as conflicts. Don't worry, you can still beat up bad guys. Another thing that is important for us is balance and we make sure to review each sheet adequately.
If you want to play a powerful missing nin right from the start, it's probably best to look elsewhere.
“The Universe”
After defeating Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, Sasuke turned on Naruto. It turned out that old grievances were hard to forget, and that friendship did not always trump everything. It turned out that the 'Curse of Hatred' never quite existed and in it's stead, it was merely a placebo effect. Because the Uchiha thought they were cursed, they acted like it, and everyone else believed they were cursed because of it.
This did not alter anything. In the ensuing fight both Sasuke and Naruto died. Their power was immense of course, and so when they died, everyone was quite sure that the Sage of the Six Paths would revive them, or some divine intervention would occur to save them both.
It did not.
With Sasuke and Naruto both dead, the unified shinobi army fell into discord. Perhaps Naruto and Sasuke had not been as holy as had been assumed prior to the fight. Some mused, was it all just luck? Did the defeat Kaguya without fully having the Sage's blessing? Were they not the Sage incarnated? Others wondered if perhaps they'd been fighting for the wrong side. Sasuke turned on Naruto rather easily after all. Perhaps it'd all been one big trick to get them to fight for them, and not Kaguya. Was the Tsukuyomi, perhaps, not so bad after all?
The villages returned to their respective homes, and years passed once more. The great bond of friendship crafted carefully by Naruto faded, kage's died and old feuds revived themselves. New clans rose, old clans died, the wheel of time churned away carefully as it always did, since there was no stopping it. Time churns and churns, and waits for no one. Trees withered and their seeds planted the setting for the next generation - your generation.
Fifty years later it seems like everything is back to how it was during the great shinobi war. Diplomatic ties are on edge, shinobi's are often working against each other when missions where they cross paths have incompatible goals. And sometimes, just sometimes, it's just to settle a score, or obtain a kekkei genkai for yourself. The world is a lot more dark than when Naruto was still running around.. you need to watch your back lest you are watched from the back.
And like this you are dropped into the shinobi force. You were a genin for a long time, doing menial tasks like genins before you had done - it was part of the initiation some of the older shinobi told you. But it was different and you could feel it. There was a more heavy focus on getting field experience - painting picket fences turned to digging trenches, rescuing cats turned to tending to the ninken in the kennels, and escorting a merchant turned to rooting out a bandit encampment with another squad of veterans. Everything pointed at combat and field experience. Why?
Recently you were promoted to the chunin rank after a rather hard exam. It seemed that whoever was in charge of the exams that year was after you, though you knew that to be untrue. The exams were simply hard. But you passed it's many tests and you should be happier for it. Some of the other villages did not participate, Kumogakure, Sunagakure, they chose to hold their own exams. You can't help but wonder why. Amegakure was present at your exams, strangely, but they were rather quiet, reserved.
Well. Problems for another day. For now, rejoice, as you are about to hear what new squads have been created.
“OOC Info”
First of all, thank you for taking the time to read the interest check. I would like to mark some things down here for my and your benefit to explain the OOC situation.
This RP will be GM'ed by primarily me and another participant. That participant is my muse and lover.. okay, maybe not my lover nor my muse, but probably the guy that I find it easiest to work with when it comes to Naruto RP's and who has been part of literally every Naruto RP I've ever done, @Savato. Given some personal situations that are not really that personal but that are not really important right now, the RP is likely to be created later, and this is an interest check to gather primary interest and a base to work with. Blabla, you can read that as 'pseudo important GM stuff'. For now, this is just testing the waters and it will allow me to make a list of people that are interested.
Second, we've done RP's like this before. We know the tricks in the books and outside of the books, we know the general crowd that we attract and we know all the familiar faces when it comes to Naruto RP's. Because lets face it, you are often working with a mix of veterans and newcomers to the Naruto RP scene on RPG. Which, frankly, consists of mostly the same people more often than not..
Either way what I'm trying to say is we're veteran GM's when it comes to Naruto RP's. More about that in the official OOC that will come later.
SO! Thank you for reading this, again, and I await to see if there is any interest for this RP! Godspeed, lads.
