Clans - Limit 4 Characters total per Clan. NPCs or major characters played by myself do not count towards this.
More than just these are available of Canon Clans, these are simply examples.
Any original character clans are also welcome on this list. If you wish to have your clan on here, this means that it is open for anyone else to join it. If you do not wish for anyone to join, it will be left off the list with no hard feelings. (Heck, even my own character's isn't on here because his clan is wiped out.)

How to tell who's characters are accepted?

It's mostly the first because the second option often leads to confusion.

@PaulHaynek

Good. I thought the same thing about the second. Glad the first is the norm.

How to tell who's characters are accepted?

So the 'how to tell' bit tends to be more up to how individual thread leaders organize their first post and such. If they don't give the information, or don't put somewhere a message like "only post in characters tab once accepted", it's up to searching in the ooc to find out more.

Do most rps do this already where it's more of a standard expectation? Sheets gets posted in ooc first, discussed, then put in characters tab when approved?
Or is it more, Sheets get posted in characters, discussed in ooc, approved/not, and then it's up to organization on how that's displayed (or not displayed)?

Apologies if this post here is not the most well-written in my questions. It's 7 a.m. currently and I really should sleep... xD

How to tell who's characters are accepted?

I am curious, when looking at the character sheets for roleplays on here, how a player can tell what characters have been officially accepted and which ones have been rejected, without scouring through the OOC thread attempting to find conversations about said characters.

My own roleplay will have a rather easy section at the beginning which shows the accepted characters already, but I'm not sure how to tell with other rps which do not have this kind of thing.

Edit: Also, is it possible to remove rejected characters from the list?

Introduction

Long before the births of many beloved characters that we know, such as Naruto, Hinata, Rock Lee, Kakashi, and many others, many shinobi villages were founded. Five of them grew to be the largest in size, power, and fame. These were Iwagakure Hidden in the Stone, Kumogakure Hidden in the Clouds, Sunagakure Hidden in the Sand, Kirigakure Hidden in the Mist, and finally, Konohagakure Hidden in the Leaves. It is about 30 years after the founding of the major villages, with a time of current peace. Even with no war between any of the villages, tensions are still high from when the Samurai Lords of the land were battling each other. Many grudges are still held, as people can remember those family members lost to shinobi of various villages. Every once in a while, small-scale skirmishes between them can break out, with higher-ups having to do all they can to either isolate the incident, or keep the entire thing secret. There is peace, but all in the shinobi world can tell that the peace is very fragile, and a single event could send everything spiraling out of control.

An event that may begin with an incident at the Fire Country's southern border...

Welcome to the Roleplay

Hello there, glad to have you visiting the thread, and I wish to say welcome and I hope you like what you're reading. This thread is for an Alternate Universe, way-in-the-past Naruto roleplay. This roleplay will take place in the past, some of the techniques that we know haven't been created yet. You are heavily encouraged to create unique techniques for your character, rather than trying to use purely canon knowledge.

This roleplay will be keeping things at a lower scale power level. Low shippuden will be the highest things will go with experienced Jounin. The power scale is meant to reflect more of the Original Series, rather than Shippuden in general. The main focus of this roleplay will be the individual characters and how each of them develop. What path each will take. And what consequences their decisions will have upon the turbulent shinobi world.

An important note

This Naruto roleplay will have a different team setup than others. Rather than the standard 3 students and one teacher that is common, it has been switched to be one larger group with many students and multiple teachers, called a Battalion. This will allow for smoother roleplay, as there won't be rigid slots to fill, and groups can switch around as the roleplay demands or as players like. Teams can form naturally, and all students can interact with the entirety of their village players.

Don't be a dick, and have a spine
Disagreements are fine. Even heated ones. But start fights, needless drama, get easily offended, or have a rotten attitude, and you won't last long.
I am not a tyrant, but I will kick people out who are a negative influence in the rp.

Expect Criticism
I am, as a Thread Lead, a lot more concerned with power level and background story consistency than many others. Most character sheets that come in will need to be discussed and altered in some way. Most of the time these changes are minor, but they vary. Know beforehand that the first draft of your profile may need editing, and that any criticism is not a rejection unless outright said so. It just means that some things need altering or worked on.

Guild Rules
Follow them.

RP 101 Things
No godmodding other characters, auto-hitting, meta-roleplaying, etc.
You should know what I'm talking about with this stuff. However, if you do not, I have no issues with explaining privately. It ties largely into the first rule.

Power Level
This Naruto Roleplay will be staying close to the original series in Power scale. The highest point characters will be getting in power level will be comparable to very early Shippuden, and not everything shown there would be acceptable either.

On top of that, I'm going to be aiming for power levels between characters inside their ranks to be similar to one another.

Genins will be starting out a bit more capable than what they were at the beginning of Naruto, with them all being capable fighters. Chunins will be scaled slightly up from canon expectations, but not by a large amount. This is more to go along with the higher genin standard. Jounins will then be scaled down in comparison to the canon's capabilities, staying closer to original Naruto with the fight between Kakashi and Zabuza, rather than reaching the scale that Shippuden goes into.

No Genjutsu
Genjutsu is unfortunately extremely difficult to balance compared to nearly all other power sets. Often times in matters of roleplay, even the lower level Genjutsu can cross the border into god-modding, controlling another character's thoughts, actions, or feelings. It is very difficult to roleplay correctly and overall is just a nuisance, and all too often ends up as just an "easy stun-lock win" tactic. Because of this, I will be cutting it out from the roleplay. Genjutsu is not allowed.
Illusionary Ninjutsu though can still be used. Such as fire that doesn't actually burn but looks and smells real until someone comes in contact with it.

Canon Techniques
Some canon techniques I will be disallowing due to them being overpowered, or it being likely that they do not exist. This roleplay will be encouraging people to make their own techniques and powers for their unique characters.

No 'cloning out'
I will not allow clones to be used for escaping an attack. If you have clones out and they are being used, then please state it beforehand. As in “The real Steve is hiding in the ground, while he uses a clone to mislead and attack the target above.” Unless it is clearly said or agreed upon beforehand that the clone is the target, it will be assumed that the character being attacked is the real you.

Character Variety
Not everyone in the Naruto universe is an Uzumaki, Uchiha, or Hyuuga. There are many many many different clans to choose from, some more obscure than others, and you're even free to make your own. Bring out all your hidden ideas and make something different than the cookie cut Sasuke Clone.
Along with this rule, there will be a limit of 4 characters for each clan. First come, first serve, and most likely, I won't allow you to have two characters in the same clan as each other.
Some characters may take the name of a canon clan but not their abilities, such as being related by Marriage. These characters will not take up one of the limited slots.

Special Note on Canon Characters
For the most part, I will be saying no, since they won't be born yet, however, I will make exceptions for people to play certain canon characters if they were minor and didn't get much time to shine in the series. The more well-known ones like Rock Lee or Neji will not be allowed, but if there was a character that was in for only a few episodes, and didn't get to do anything important, and were left overall forgotten by most viewers, pitch me their character and I'll take a look at them. They may be granted a second shot in a completely different timeline.
I shall be the first one to use this alternate universe rule, and say that Ichiraku's Ramen Shop exists in this timeline, with good old Ichiraku and his daughter.

Literacy and Posts
I am going to be putting this at a casual to lightly advanced level. Do not shame others for posting less than you, or think bad of them as an rper. However, do put effort into your posts and make sure that they are legible, and have enough written for people to effectively respond to. Please refrain from posting a bunch of unnecessary fluff just to make your post longer.
With posting formats, please include your character's picture, name, and location.
Any issues, which I hope there won't be any, will be handled on a very case-by-case basis and we will find a way to work it out. Just be mindful of being considerate to others with your post length, and be willing to use the edit button if a problem arises.

I can kick out anyone I want
For any reason. I can wake up one day and decide to roll a dice and see who gets the boot. I won't actually be doing that, but the fact remains that I can.
Basically this rule is : There are no technicalities for you to hide behind. Don't test me.

RWBY based RP

No one's forcing you to join the RP.

@tobiax

You are very correct in that. I never claimed otherwise.
Since you are encouraging me to go because I disagree with you, I shall do so. Good luck with your thread.

RWBY based RP

So... should I assume that you didn't get past Volume One?

@tobiax

I don't know why you would assume that just because you disagree with my opinion. I got to volume three and stopped at the end when Ruby became an unconscious super-saiyan who nuked a tower because angry, and told it's because her silver eyes make her super special.
That pretty much ruined the canon story for me, even though I like the setting in general. With exception to the color naming rule. I was interested in this rp concept because it was following an entirely different story than the canon one.

Of course we remember it. We just...think it's stupid

@Nyahahameha

This guy sums it up right here ^

Either way. My main gripe with the 'rule' is that it is, like I said, very, very loosely followed even in the canon. Most connections are 'alludes to' guesses by the wiki, often grasping at straws. Here's more examples.

Hider

Peter Port : "Peter" is derived from the Greek word "Πέτρος" (Petros), meaning "stone". "Port", as a surname, could be referring to his overweight, or "portly" appearance, or alternatively it could be a reference to Port wine, which is a type of red wine.
(Maybe stone, but Peter may not even be of greek origin. And port wine is reaching if I've ever seen it)

Lei Ren : Liè is Chinese for "ardent". Ren is Japanese kanji for "lotus", hence his emblem.
(Ardent usually means passionate, but it can also mean Glowing. For this purpose glowing sounds closer to a color, but then we're left with Glowing Lotus. Lotus flowers come in multiple different forms. Which one is he supposed to be? And if the name is supposed to be related to colors, then that is incredibly non-specific)

Glynda Goodwitch : "Glynda" is based from the name "Glenda", which comes from the Welsh glân ("holy, fair") and da ("good").
The concepts derived from Glynda's name, namely "holy" and "good" are often associated with the color white, but rarely purple.
(Holy isn't a color, and like said there, it can sometimes be associated with a color... but her semblance is a different color. Also has nothing to do with her name.)

Cardin Winchester : In keeping with his team's bird-themed naming, his first name is likely also derived from the cardinal, an American bird species.
This also keeps with the Color Naming Rule, as male cardinals are red birds.
His first name may also be an alternate spelling of Carden, an Irish name meaning "From the black fortress".
(conflicting information and reaching a bit, particularly since he doesn't have any red theming on him except for maybe the lower part of his sleeves)

Bolin Hori : Bolin is a Chinese name usually given to boys. It can mean "elder brother", or "rain". Rain brings to mind the color blue.
The word hori roughly translates to "yellow" in Basque.
"Hori" is derived from the Japanese surname "Horii". The first kanji can be translated to "moat".
(Can mean either one for first name... then last name is using two languages simultaneously.)

Nadir Shiko : When said together, Nadir Shiko's first and last names sound like Nadeshiko, the Japanese name for a family of pink flowers commonly known as carnations. Nadeshiko also refers to the idealised Japanese woman.
(So now puns count... And changing the language of first name from Arabic to Japanese... alright.)

Either way... my point is just that I think the rule is rather pointless because it is applied so loosely that 'alluding to' are the best many can come up with. Some are more obvious and that's fine, cool even. It makes sense given the history for many characters to have been named after colors. This can be flavor given to the world. But stating that EVERY character must do so when even the canon is barely consistent about it just seems unnecessary to me.
Really though what I've said here hasn't really been about your particular rp. I just have seen it applied to every rwby rp I've seen for quite a long time and it's been annoying.

RWBY based RP

@Lemons That *is* a cool name. Could also be Frey for short that sounds good.

Dottr could also but that is... erm.... awkward. Maybe just her pa calls her that xD

edit: wait... if even a female... I'm assuming a lot

RWBY based RP

Oh I hadn't really looked into the character sheet yet and at seeing it there's something that's somewhat bothersome. The color naming rule.

For starters it's barely even applied in the show itself and most 'connections' made by fans and such on wikis are speculation at best. Most connections are so loose it barely matters. Yang in particular being a dragon (which definitely describes a color /sarcasm). And others just don't even have one.

And it seems like roleplays that use this rule seem to forget the more important aspect of RWBY characters. That they're all based on some kind of legend, lore, or history. Such as Red Riding Hood, Goldilocks, Joan of Arc, Snow White, Thor, Wizard of Oz, and others.

Either way, not my thread. But this focus on the color naming rule in every rp i've seen for rwby has gotten on my nerves, particularly when it always discounts the character I want to play unless I make the loosest connection. (Though I guess that would be how the series does it anyway so whatever)
