I go by Sarge. Im in my mid-twenties. I don't identify by gender. I've been RP'ing on other sites but just moved over here in hopes the community will be better. I consider myself Advanced but I'm not terribly picky. I'm comfortable writing a novella or a sentence (though the later rarely happens).RPs

@Sergeant
Is it finished? Because if so, I’m not sure why your jutsu list isn’t completed or skillset isn’t detailed?
Mainly because he only knows the academy techniques... and that's it. Unless you want me to compile a complete list of every singly move you have use with a bo staff.... which is not something I'd enjoy doing. There's no special skills he's got anyways in bo staff fighting. He wont learn those until he's older. So I didn't think them of any consequence.
@Gowi@Sloth@RyoRyoRyokenI've finished my CS. I would say do your worst but I'm not sure I could survive it. ;) I moved it here to make it easier on you guys
-Moved CS-
Just wanted to put this here. That's all I got so far. I'll be working on finishing him off later today. Feel free to comment on him already if something needs to be changed or whatever.
Actually I'm hung up with the clan relationships because it's an important part of why Nakazono is who he is. (Plus, he's going to mention his whole extended family a lot because of how closeknit the Fujioji's are and I want people to have a reference when I start going off) I have a lot of it pictured in my head but the grandparents (both sides) which are the keystones to the whole branch of their family and how they interact with the clan. Therefore I'm gonna sleep on this instead of finishing up like I thought I could tonight.
Just have the personal History and skillset to finish up. Hooray. :D
And I'm all done. Hope it meets expectations. I moved it to the post with the notifications for your convenience.

NAME
Fujioji Nakazono
ALIAS
Naka or Stick
GENDER
Male
AGE
11
ORIGIN
Konohagakure
RANK
Genin
APPEARANCE
Nakazono is slightly above average height for his age. He is rather slender in build and could be described as effeminate even though he doesn't act like it. Nakazono doesn't look his age. He appears to be about twelve when in fact he is eleven. It doesn't help that because of his clan traditions most people mistake him for a girl either. At least when he's at school he's allowed to wear clothing that isn't specific to girls. Though his formal Fujioji outfit is. Therefore most of time he's seen in just a plain kimono.
Nakazono has pale skin and blue eyes. Like all young boys in his clan, Nakazono has never cut most black hair. The longest part is currently down to his butt and to quote him "an absolute pain". The bangs and shorter (about shoulder length hair around his face) is more tolerable and less at the same time because it never stays tied up like it's supposed to. He also has his ears pierced.

PERSONALITY & MOTIVATIONS
Nakazono is the youngest child of four. And he happens to be the least talented. Because of this he has mainly stopped trying his best. He's just kind of floating through school. He used to care, but no matter how hard he tried he could never keep up with his older siblings. Which lead to him deciding if he couldn't make his parents happy he'd stop trying. At least then they'd have something to complain about. With this attitude Nakazono sometimes ditches class to go do whatever stuck his fancy that day (usually reading).
Nakazono doesn't have any friends. This isn't to say that he doesn't want any. More or less he's afraid to get close enough to anyone. His reasoning is that if he doesn't get close they wont see what a disappointment he is. If he doesn't have any friends they can't leave him right? He goes out of his way to be "busy" after class is over so he doesn't fall into the trap of thinking that he can have friends who like him. He smiles, laughs and generally gets along with the other students, but he doesn't invest himself in the relationships. Because of this he knows lots of people but no one he would call friend and he's sure they all would agree.
Nakazono really doesn't want to be a ninja. He's thought about running off and hiding forever in a book store or library but he's never done it. It's mainly because he cannot bring himself to disappoint his parents (and Aunt Sanako) even more than he has despite all of his protestations that he doesn't care. Which is central to Nakazono's character. He likes to pretend that nothing matters to him when in truth everything seems to matter.

CLAN HISTORY
The Fujioji clan isn't a big clan. About seventy years ago three families settled in Konohagakure. Before that the Fujioji's were a wandering clan. In fact, the majority of the clan still are known to be wanderers and have not settled in any one village. Because of their nomadic lifestyle their traditions are the most important thing to them.
The main tradition passed down from parent to child is their fighting techniques. The Fujioji clan uses a bo staff to fight. They have no unique nin- or genjutsu's to the clan name. Only their skill with a staff. Some of the Fujioji clan members are so skilled in their unique fighting style their clan name has become synonymous with their bo staves. Fujioji Staves are made handmade by the clan. They do produce normal bo staves to sell to other clans (such as the Akimichi clan). No one who is not a Fujioji is allowed to use a Fujioji staff. If someone is known to be using one having procured it somehow a Fujioji will be honored bound to retrieve it. This is mostly because a Fujioji staff isn't a normal bo staff.
A Fujioji staff is similar to a bo staff in that it is about 1.8 meters in length and up to 15 meters in circumference. It is made from a supple white oak. It's tapered from the middle so that it's thinner at the ends. The Fujioji staff ends are octagon in shape. Inlet in the supple wood is iron. Usually in a complicated design in order to allow the wood to maintain it's flexibility and durability. The secrets of the Fujioji staves are found in these designs. Some are hidden compartments for various ninja tools such as poisons and knives.
Each Fujioji staff is specifically crafted for the user. Unproven clan members, such as Nakazono, have plain dyed bo staves. They are specifically for learning how to use the weapon and if lost it will not cast shame upon the owner. It isn't until the clan member reaches the age of fourteen that they are given their first true Fujioji staff. The design is tailored to the user and reflects their status in the clan and their personal history. It is a serious breach of honor to ruin or lose a staff.
Apart from their staves the Fujioji clan has a very rich tradition for raising their children. No child, male or female, can cut their hair apart from the prescribed haircut. Tradition holds that the first Fujioji, a woman, cut her hair like that and that's the way it has been ever since. Once a child reaches the age of majority they will cut off their long tail of hair to make everything even with their shoulders. All children are also dressed the same in traditional female clothing. Though in Konohagakure they are allowed to wear nondescript kimonos while not in the clan's buildings.
When a child reaches what they believe to be the age of majority they must prove themselves. In the clan it is called The Proving. It's a closely guarded test where the child must fight their parent. If they fail to prove they have sufficient skills, no matter their age, they are not considered adults. A waiting period of usually half a season is observed before a child may try again. If a child does not challenge their parents for a proving they are cast out of the clan and into the wild. They are given nothing but a plain bo staff and told to return in a month. If they never return the child is considered dead. The same holds if the child returns too soon. However if the child returns on time they are considered an adult and inducted back into the clan.
While the proving is still tradition it hasn't been observed to the letter in known history. Instead when a child fails, either to prove themselves or doesn't even challenge, they are just not taught the Fujioji techniques. Instead they are expected to do something else with their life. However there is always the rumor spread among the children that it's still possible that your family would disown you. Even if it has never happened in anyone's lifetimes.
The traditional uniform of the Fujioji clan is a sleeveless black kimono with a gold Uraeri. There is a dark blue blue obi. The sleeves are threaded with gold string to hold them on over the biceps and below the shoulder joint. All Fujioni clan members have pierced ears and with the traditional uniform they wear a tassel with a golden ball attached. The color of the tassels is up to the individual and their status in the clan. Young children are given a burgundy color. Those of age range from Blue to black depending on their skill with their staff.
One of things that make the Fujioji clan different from most others is their matriarchy. A set of three Elders lead the clan in important matters. They are the decendants of the three original women who decided to settle in Konohagakure. The heads of the clan are all female. They also expect their females to be just as good of fighters as the men. Therefore women are not given any quarter in training nor is it expected. Which has caused a few clashes with the Academy because the Fujioji clan doesn't view some of the curriculum (such as flower arrangement) as necessary.
The current heads of the clan are Nakazono's Grandmother Yaya, Fujioji Gen and Fujioji Kona.

PERSONAL HISTORY
Nakazono was a child conceived from emotion. After the terrible battle at Konohagakure and the loss of so many people, his mother sought what physical comfort she could. And the result was Nakazono. An unplanned but not unwelcome child. For his mother it was reason to remain at home for a long while. Even his father enjoyed having a baby around once more. His brother, Kageteru didn't much care for Nakazono having been the youngest and therefore the most spoiled child. Or had been. After his dethroning by Nakazono he has always held a sort of grudge. His two eldest siblings were wrapped up with their own training and had no time for a baby.
Nakazono's life was set for him from as far back as he could remember. He was given his first bo staff about the same time he started walking. By the time he was four, maybe five, he was expected to be able to use it. It was also about the same time that Nakazono realized he was not the most coordinated and therefore was not a very good fighter. Before this point Nakazono had happy memories of his parents. But this was a changing point in his life. Suddenly from this point nothing ever seemed good enough. It was always "Kageteru mastered that when he was your age" "Nagu never had a problem with that move" or "Even Moroari could fail to teach you how not to trip over nothing".
His only saving grace is his Aunt Sanako. When he stayed late in the practice grounds when he was younger, or tried to hide his bruises from the staff, she was always there. With a soft word or touch she had the power to keep him from drowning in the unreachable expectations of his family. She was the one who gave him hope that he wasn't completely useless. She was the one who smuggled his nonsense scrolls about completely fictional people and places. She was the one who helped him with his drills.
Aunt Sanako is the only reason Nakazono still remains at the Academy and is somehow going to be a Genin. Without her support (and lets face it, her disappointment in his lack of motivation in school) he never would have made it this far. He wants to do better by her, but he can't bring himself to do so. He fears deep down if he starts trying again and fails he wont be able to live with himself. Though they don't see each much anymore, she spends a lot of time with her grandchildren, he still relies upon her for emotional support.
Currently at the Academy Nakazono is near the bottom of the class. He's slower than most of the students, mainly because of his clumsiness. He hesitates over signs, his fingers forget their movements and he generally jumbles up the motions. Because of his general clumsiness quite a few of the other students tease him. No one's ever meet a clumsy ninja right? Deep down Nakazono knows what to do, it's just getting his body to do it is the problem.

Ty poked her head up over her dash and watched as a few of the zombies staggered past. She sighed and worried her lower lip. When people started swerving off the road and falling over sick Ty had pulled over too. It had been too dangerous to drive her sixteen wheeler truck anywhere in those conditions. As she waited, listening to the radio and the CB, things went from bad to worse. And now she was three days into a Zombie Apocalypse.
Things couldn't get much worse for Ty. She was on the road with her family back at home. She didn't know if they were safe. If they were infected. It was torture not knowing. And since all the cell towers were down it was impossible to find out without going home. Which was Ty's current predicament. She was trapped inside the cab of her truck. She still had a good supply of bottled water. Her food was gone, both for her and her cat Mr. Sir. And somehow she needed to get home.
Ty's current plan was to detach the trailer from her cab, giving her a smaller vehicle and more speed. But first she needed more food and a lot more gas. Which meant being outside with the Zombies for a prolonged period of time. And she had watched the dead mill about. She knew they were slow and quite stupid. They ignored you unless they saw movement or heard noise. Which meant she couldn't drive her cab up to a gas station because it would attract everything within hearing distance.
So Ty's only option would be to walk. Through a city full of zombies.
Meew
Mr. Sir butted his head against Ty's shoulder, jostling her arm and her shotgun. She ran a hand down his back and crooned at him. The best time would be now during the day. She might have a better chance of not being spotted at night, but she didn't want to wander into a zombie by accident.
"Stay here kitty." Ty patted his head before she took one more look around before slipping out of the cab. She moved quickly and as silently as she could hoping nothing would turn a corner and see her as she scuttled to the juncture of her truck. Ty placed her shotgun down and grabbed the lever that attached the cab to the trailer. Usually she'd have to put down the truck jacks to keep the trailer from hitting the ground, but she didn't want to crawl under anything and waste precious time. So she settled for unhooking everything. It'd cause a rucks when she drove off, but she didn't plan on sticking around.
Job done she picked up her shot gun and eyed on of the zombies. It was staring in a storefront. If she was quiet and used the vehicles on the road to hide her she was good. Ty remained in her crouch as she slowly moved off in the direction of a known gas station. Gas was the most important. Without gas she couldn't go far. It wouldn't matter if she had plenty of food or water if she was stuck in a mass of zombies eager to eat her.
Ty swallowed against the thought. She had watched a few people be eaten alive from her cab, helpless to do anything against the undead mob. It was not something she was eager to experience first hand.

Melody Baker Tyler
Name: "Ty"
Age: 38
Description: Ty is a stocky woman. She's not overweight but she isn't skinny either. Most of her mass is muscle. She stands at five foot six. She has black eyes and a pale complexion. She wears her hair long and braided. She abhors makeup and prefers to leave her natural beauty untouched. And Ty is quite a looker for someone her size. Though not a lot of people notice because of her weight. Because she's not stick thin they label her a ugly.
Ty isn't the most fashionable of women. Sure, she doesn't mind dressing up in a dress for a fancy occasion. But most of the time she just wears jeans and band t-shirts.
Personality: Ty is a easy going woman. She's friendly and easy to get along with. Even if she's mad at you she'll still be pleasant. Sometimes it's hard to know when she's angry because she'll still smile and maintain a calm demeanor. Aside from that Ty has a very low tolerance for crap. She wont hesitate to call you out on it. Nor will she baby you. She's a mother of three and she ain't your mom.
Background: Ty grew up with her mother. She never knew her father. As a single mother Ty's mom did quite well. She tried to support her child as best as she could. They lived in a rural town in what best could be described as a shack. The roof leaked and there was no hot water, but it was home.
Growing up Ty was teased because of her poor upbringing. She ended up in a lot of fights and ended up getting expelled from High School. She got her GED shortly after that and ended up working odd jobs around the world. She meet her husband, Carl, in Mexico. The two of them fell quickly in love and married after five months of dating. All together the couple had three children, all girls. The oldest, Kenya, is nineteen and just entering her first year of college. The middle girl, Sierra, is sixteen and infatuated with David. The youngest is "Cissy" and just turned fourteen.
After Ty's first child was born she and Carlos decided it would be best if they settled down for their child. However it became quickly apparent that Ty's "Itchy Feet" were never going to let her be happy in one town. Together they agreed that Carlos would stay home with the kids and Ty would support them. Her most current job is being a long haul truck driver.
Skills: Knowledge of the main routes across the country, a shotgun and knowledge how to use it and a truck.
Motivation: Ty's going home to her family.
<Snipped quote by Sergeant>
The focus is on characterization and depth, but given the nature of Naruto there will probably be combat and difficult situations that require thinking and acting on the spot. So I would say... yes and no. If and when the “new” conflict occurs or the chunin evaluations/exams come up— it’ll be a point of combat being central but it will never be superfluous.
I've been in Naruto RPs before (once upon a time) and the only thing they did was have "action" scenes. As soon as the "action" stopped they skipped forwards in time until there was more fighting. It was just exhausting. Some was fine, but not all the time.
In that case, put me down tentatively. If I don't get into another RP I'm trying for I'd like to join this one.
@GowiQuestion: is this going to be more of a fighting centered RP? As in skills, abilities, and/or jutsus will be very important because of how many fights our characters will be in?
