Naruto AU Interest Check

The OOC will be up tonight if anyone else still plans on joining. Everything's been now fully fleshed out and I'm looking forward to starting.

Naruto AU Interest Check

@Hayazo

Hey, thank you for the interest. @Genkishi and I have been building the history and making plans for the plot and have pretty much just about finished. But we're open to making it a 1x1x1 if you don't mind the leg work to catch up on all the information because it's 8 pages of PM's worth. We have plans for at least one genin team in every village and we have two for the Leaf and Stone (mostly for plot purposes) but we are missing a third squad for Leaf's Rookie Nine.

Let me know and we'll discuss everything with you.

Yeah nah, that makes sense for how the Uchiha would still stick around and be a pretty decent shift in the Hokages and such, though I think really I just feel like it's an Uchiha Massacre of another kind in a way if you know what I mean. Not that I have a shinobi in the race to begin with, considering my two Naruto characters are a Hyuga and a Senju, that and my backlog is rather intimidating at the moment lmao. That said, the setting has always been of interest, so you know. By all means though, don't take what I say too seriously, just a fan of the series offering some thoughts.

@Alfhedil

Nah, I see what you mean though. I've always hated the Uchiha massacre and even moreso the whole reasoning behind it in the original series. Easily prevented but forced for narrative drama. But I have high hopes for the remaining members of the clan. When I say their numbers dwindled in the war I'd say that a 3rd to a half of their actual shinobi died in battle. But at least in this they're not mistreated by the village so balance. This loss in numbers could have given the Hyuuga the chance to become a more prominent clan in the village as well.

Also if your backlog ends up a little less intimidating I'd love to have you join. If this doesn't end up a group RP we can definitely make it a 1x1x1.

I've personally had an idea floating around for a while now on an AU of the nardo setting, though with some more subtle differences in mind. Any particular reason the Uchiha get wiped out beyond balancing? An idea could be that without Madara the more moderate elements take power within the clan and perhaps even an Uchiha from the era becomes the Second Hokage, thus breaking the idea of lineages at least in Konoha. This could lead them to maintain a large presence as well within the leaf, and a long-standing rivalry with the other founding clans, particularly the Hyuga.

@Alfhedil

Mostly a balance thing. I knew I didn't want the massacre to happen in this universe, but just in case the group was kind of big for this I didn't want to make it a Uchiha show. I did think of making one of this version's Hokage a Uchiha but I would've placed him as the Third since I was planning to remove Hiruzen.

So let's say a big shift change is that when Tobirama is a squad's sensei he gets a member of the Uchiha on his team. At the time he still hates them having a very hard time letting go of the past, but with his student he starts seeing a different side to the clan and realizes his brother may not have been wrong after all. So after a rough start he shapes the young Uchiha into a worthwhile and respected shinobi. He then goes on to become the Third Hokage and during his reign the Third Shinobi War happens. Him being Hokage gave the clan a boost in morale so they ended up training harder than normal and more and more wanted to prove just what they could do for their village so against his better judgment a lot of his clan had fought on the front lines and although they were skilled shinobi war is war so lives were claimed.

So at the moment they're not as big a clan as they once were but they are currently still repopulating their ranks and have even taken to marrying outside the clan.

Bump/Info Update:

@Genkishi and I were talking and we're on the same mind that the Bijuu can be updated/rehashed since they were mostly underutilized and underdeveloped in the series.

For example, the original Jinchuuriki will have created their own clans that inherited techniques and sometimes summonings. For example the Aburame clan will be descendants of the original 7 Tailed host and so on and so forth. This does not mean however that the Bijuu was only passed onto other clan members or that any Jinchuuriki will automatically have access to clan techniques. I will go into more detail about everything in the official thread.

But if any of this is of any interest to you come on and join us.

Naruto AU Interest Check

I haven't done group RPs in years so I'm a little hesitant but I'm interested. I had some concepts for something in this vein and had been wanting to do a Naruto AU RP.

I would love to see more of this AU world you had imagined. The canon had a lot of stuff that could use a redesign, several of the bijuu come to mind. I'm curious though how a group RP handles all the dojutsus and bijuu, all that stuff.

@Genkishi

I sent you a DM, but for your last curiosity I was thinking that at least a few of the Bijuu would belong to NPC characters at least at the beginning of the story. They may end up dying throughout the course of the story and their Bijuu could be passed along to someone's character. Otherwise usually people would run at the chance to be a Jinchuuriki at the beginning.

As far as dojutsu goes I don't care too much as long as it doesn't become a Sharingan and Byakugan show despite having the thought of having a set of Uchiha twins myself but there's a plot reason for it.

Naruto AU Interest Check

Hello, hello, hello. Come on, come all and join me on this adventure through the shinobi world. I don't know what it is but lately I've been in the mood for a good Naruto roleplay. So I'm posting this here to see if any of you will be interested in the same.

I am completely changing the world of Naruto's history with this one. The Otsutsuki here will be actual gods instead of aliens who want to eat the chakra of planets. So Kaguya will be a fallen goddess that fell for a mortal and the Sage of Six Paths will essentially be Prometheus as he gave the world knowledge of chakra and ninshu/ninjutsu/fire.

I also plan on changing the line of the Kage's to make them all original. I might just keep the 1st and 2nd for simplicity's sake since they shaped the world a lot, but Hiruzen's generation is for sure getting a complete change.

The Whirpool Village will remain destroyed but earlier on due to the rumors that the Uzumaki were connected to the gods of the world and the Uzumaki Clan would have spread throughout the small and great nations because everyone would've wanted to mix that chakra capacity and sealing jutsu into their pool of ninja.

There will be no Uchiha massacre, but they will have dwindled in number after many of them were sent to the front lines during the Third Shinobi War.

These will be the major changes for now until I work on plot and see who's all interested. I likely will be looking for a Co-GM, but I also want the players to be just as involved with coming up with events or anything that'll progress the story. Who knows? We may even get to see our characters as adults or even further training the next generation.

I'm looking forward to playing with you all.

The Wards: A Grimdark Teenage Superhero Story

I have so many ideas already I don't know which one to go with. I may have missed it but are we limited to only one character or we can we have multiple?

Shinobi Ascension: Sons of Otogakure (Naruto Roleplay)

If you're all willing to still continue I'm down to play the third genin. A Uchiha-Uzumaki that was abducted saved the night of the massacre.

Biography

The Davis family always knew they wanted to have children together. Unfortunately, fate was not on their side. They tried many times to have a child, but would always either fail to conceive, or miscarry. Finally, after many attempts and a difficult pregnancy, the Davis family were finally blessed with twins! They were overjoyed, and cherished their miracle babies.

Caty and her twin brother Danny were two peas in an interesting pod. It had seemed the universe had blessed their parents with extraordinary gifts. It was all too fitting that they were called miracle babies. Early on in their childhood it was clear that the two were exceptionally bright. When they weren't playing with dolls, stuffed animals and any other toys they had they were often found experimenting with the world around them. They had an innate curiosity about them. This was especially so when it came to Caty. Growing up she always knew there was something different about her. She could understand things quickly and she always thirsted for more knowledge. Though if you were on the outside looking in you wouldn't have been able to tell.

Ever since she was young Caty had always been the more energetic and outgoing of the duo. She seemed to outshine her slightly younger brother but she never looked at it that way. To her Danny was the one that shined even brighter than her. He could just never see it for himself. Because of this Danny grew into the stereotypical role of the shy and awkward nerd while Caty grew into the world of the All American popular girl who also happened to be smart. She never hid her intelligence but she also didn't flaunt it. Instead of joining any of the science clubs she joined the Cheerleading team her Freshman year and took gymnastics and boxing on the side outside of school.

When they were in High School most students knew not to mess with Danny or his sister would come down and rain hell on the offenders. She did this as a way to teach Danny how to stand up for himself because she wouldn't always be there to protect him. Even if she wanted to. There were times when she wasn't around and his most dedicated bullies would terrorize him. Sometimes she would be there to watch and let it happen. Then afterwards she'd find them and teach them a lesson they wouldn't soon forget.

By the time they were Seniors Caty was the Captain of the Cheerleaders and was a shoe-in for both Homecoming and Prom Queen. If she were to be honest she didn't care at all about either, but everyone else around her seemed to so she entertained it for their sake. When she finished senior year she graduated as Valedictorian with a 5.0 GPA due to all of the AP Classes she took throughout the four years. This coupled with her accomplishment of nearly breaking the scales on her SAT and ACT opened many doors for her after graduation. She received scholarships, full and partial from every school she applied to and even ones she didn't apply to. When Danny also got into Columbia the two decided that was going to be their destination in the Fall. There she would double major in Biochemistry and Computer Science with a minor in Physics.

Unfortunately their last semester of high school wouldn't go exactly as they had expected and caused a domino effect that changed the lives of the Davis twins for good. Caty decided to re-ignite her passion in science by interning at the New York Hall of Science since it was close to him and with her already hectic schedule she needed something that wouldn't make things too hard on her. She would've just joined one of the clubs at school, but Danny had already made that his space and she wasn't one to interfere. She enjoyed her internship. There was always some company coming in to present their latest research and she even networked with a few companies she had an interest in. One day a company came in doing a demonstration of safe handling of nuclear laboratory waste material. No one knew at the time, but a spider got caught in one of their radiation tests and crawled slowly to its death. Before it passed on it bit Caty while she was cleaning up after the exhibit. At first she didn't feel any different. It wasn't until the next day that she realized just how much her world had changed.

She had gained the abilities of a spider. She was just like that hero Spider-Man who disappeared in the Snap. Was this fate? As one spider-themed hero was gone, another one was about to be born? She honestly wasn't too sure. This just seemed like a lot and she didn't think it wise to jump into the life of a hero before she had a full understanding of her powers. She shared her newfound gifts with her brother and with his help she started training. Since neither of them really had to take classes their final semester she often convinced him to skip so that they could either train or just goof off together. It was something she felt like they both needed. But still she had no real aspirations for being a hero. That changed the night of what would've been their prom. After being rejected by his crush Danny had no interest in going and so Caty decided to skip it with him. They decided instead to stroll around the city for the night and take in the beauty of it all. With all of their extracurricular and side activities they rarely had the time to really enjoy New York. The two were walking through Central Park when a robber cut through it after hitting up a nearby bodega. Caty kept getting this weird sensation that something was off and that was when Danny was bumped into and sent to the ground. Ignoring his need for escape the robber decided one last score wouldn't hurt him.

For the first time in her life Caty was petrified. In that moment it didn't matter that she had powers or even knew how to hold herself in a fight. In the moment her fear and anxiety were being amplified by her newfound ability to sense danger. Danny noticed this after he got himself to his feet and decided it was his time to protect his sister. He didn't want her exposing her powers here and all they had to do was give the guy all that they had. Danny tried to get the man to calm down while reaching into his pocket, but in his frantic state the robber took Danny's quick movement as a threat and fired twice before running off. This broke Caty out of her frozen state and she rushed to her brother's side waiting with him until the ambulance came, but by then it was already too late. Her brother was dead and it was her fault.

From that day forward she had a no resolve. She was going to step up and into the role bestowed upon her. She was going to become a hero and do all that she can to make sure no one else has to go through what she went through. It's a tall order, but one that she's been working towards with unrelenting motivation for the past few years.

Biography

Felix was born to world renowned cat burglar Walter Hardy, the original Black Cat, and Lydia Hardy, a mutant. Lydia unfortunately died in childbirth leaving Walter to raise Felix alone. This wasn't part of his life plan. He had wanted a child, but that was when he had Lydia at his side to raise him. He never took any of this out on Felix and in fact did the best he could as a father. Despite being a single father he knew he couldn't give up the life and used his son as extra motivation to pull off even bigger scores.

Whenever his father was out on missions Felix was watched by his mother's cousin, Roxanne, a former gymnast. She was aware of his father's line of work so she decided to help Felix prepare for the world that he was born into. She got him enrolled in gymnastics and was his private tutor at home. He was a natural and his talents didn't stop there. When he entered the second grade his father decided it was time to teach him the family trade, but hadn't planned to get him involved in any scores. He taught him the basics of lockpicking, pickpocketing, crack safes, and escape. By the time he entered middle school he learned everything he could and would from his father. He decided to spend his time in middle school doing what he wanted. He stayed with gymnastics, but also joined the basketball team after he had gone through a growth spurt the summer before.

Felix excelled in the sport and contributed greatly to his team winning the championships for three years in a row. The high from the victory was short lived because when he was thirteen his father was arrested and sent to prison, unknowingly to Felix, for a crime he didn't commit. He was then adopted by his godfather Black Fox, a high standing member of the Thieves Guild and his father's mentor. Before Felix had a choice when it came to whether or not he'd join the family business. Fox took that choice. He let Felix have a normal life at school and even let him continue with basketball and start track in High School. But he had to dedicate his free time to honing his skills as a thief. His days were filled with studying. Fox believed a thief's brain was the most important tool in their arsenal and it was one that could be molded and honed to perfection.

Fox also decided to put Felix's growing physique to use and enrolled him in different martial arts classes, but focused primarily on Okinawa Goju-ryu Karate and Judo. He believed those two would be the most useful for him. That and the instructors so happened to be members of the Guild. It was a way for him to have a proper understanding of the boy's development. He believed he had the makings of truly something special. The next leader of the Guild. Though he kept that future he envisioned for Felix to himself.

When Felix graduated from high school he told Black Fox that he was ready to enter to the fold and start missions, but he wanted to continue having a civilian identity. He didn't want his life to just be the next score. Fox accepted the condition and Felix's dual identity began. He enrolled into NYU with a double major in Liberal Arts, Computer and Information Sciences, with a minor in International Relations and Affairs. Felix started to really find himself in college. He realized that he really did enjoy having two lives. He was a natural thief. It was all second nature to him. In school he explored his sexuality and found that he was fluid with the variety of people he found himself entangled with. He also really did enjoy learning. When he was younger it felt like a chore, but now he had a certain appreciation for expanding his capacity for knowledge.

He's been living this dual life of his for years now and appreciated the freedom as well as the scores the events of the Snap and Blip provided for people like him.

Decided to throw in an extra character and will be adding their power grids later. I just wanted to get them posted since things are starting.
