I'm gonna stick up a character sheet when I get home. It'll probably have minimal information; maybe just a name, picture, age and gender, and a hobby or two. I'll fill in more information as it goes on, as per your truly wondrous idea earlier.
I've gotta say though, I like how you're doing the CS. It lets RPers reveal information in a timely and dramatically appropriate context, as would be done in an actual novel. It makes it so that the character sheets are more of a reference for people entering late. And since there should be any real physical conflict you really shouldn't need any more information than what can be doled out by the players. It gives it more of a real-life feel.
I'd like to tentatively express interest in this. I know you said you wanted people with a lot of time, so that's my main concern; it's heading into summer so I should have plenty of time then, but for now I'm already involved in writing a couple of other major things, one for school and one for pleasure. However, I think that maybe once school's out I could devote a good amount of time evenly among my projects. So for now I'm gonna ask that you don't count me out, but don't count on me either.
Name of the Kekkei Genkai: N/A Type of Kekkei Genkai: N/A
Level of Mastery: N/A
Description: N/A
Note: N/A
Weakness: N/A
=========================================
Weapons/Items:
Generic Items: Several Shuriken and Kunai, Senbon, exploding tags
====================
Name of Weapon or Item: Rigged Umbrella
Description: An umbrella set up with a trap such that it is capable of raining senbon from above
Appearance: A simple, unadorned, black umbrella with a wooden handle
====================
Name of Weapon or Item: Respirator Mask
Description: A mask that allows the user to breath underwater and filters airborne toxins
Appearance: Standard Amegakure Respirator
====================
Name of Weapon or Item: Chakra Storage Cell x3
Description: Function as rechargeable batteries, able to absorb or release chakra. All three are fed a stream of chakra through the wires attached to Kurai's head
Appearance: They appear as little more than rectangular boxes with wires protruding, and are held in a backpack that rarely leaves Kurai's side
=========================================
Appearance:
Personality: Quiet, lethargic, and not terribly prone to conversation. Not very good at communication due to lack of practice, Kurai is easily flustered. He is intelligent, but would prefer not to exercise his brain in favor of just lounging about and letting others do his work for him. Masochistic, with some sadistic tendencies. His smile, a twisted grin, is usually indicative of some new method of torture he has devised.
History: Kurai was on a mission in Takigakure when the declaration of war was made. Realizing that if he returned to his country, he would be forced to battle, he decided that he'd rather sit this one out and feigned his own death and took up permanent residence in the Land of Waterfalls. He really doesn't want to be involved in a war, and would just as soon let Konoha conquer and pillage, so long as he doesn't have to get involved. All he wants his to be able to settle down and do what it is he enjoys. There...is something he enjoys right? After so long working as a shinobi, it's hard to remember. Since he began to live in the Land of Waterfalls, he has been taking on odd jobs, most commonly as a commissioned artist. Contrary to all laws of Naruto, he actually doesn't have an eye underneath his eyepatch; it was lost on a mission as a chunin after it took the sharp end of a kunai. It was lucky that he wasn't killed, so the loss of one eye hasn't bothered him too much, although it does throw off his depth perception at times.
=========================================
Strengths: Kurai is intelligent and calculating; a planner. His chakra cells allow him to continue battling even if he would have depleted his own chakra reserves, simply by setting it aside for later use. He is extremely skilled in genjutsu, and is relatively good at detecting it due to his own proficiency. He has two change in chakra natures, fire and water, though he specializes in fire and is significantly less competent at water jutsu than most Amegakure ninja.
Weaknesses: His personality can make him difficult to form a relationship with or work alongside, though his jutsu pool is largely support and would benefit from the addition of teammates. His taijutsu is lacking: he'd likely lose to a chunin or even a skilled genin in hand to hand combat. Additionally, he is reticent to fight or become involved in conflict, and detests wasting his energy, so he is more easily ambushed or hit with attacks that have a large radius. Furthermore, nearly all of his jutsu are nullified by Water Style.
=========================================
Kurai's Jutsu: Name of Jutsu: Fire Style: Will O' Wisp Rank: B Range: 50 meters Type of Jutsu: Genjutsu, Hiden Element Affinity (If Applicable): Fire
Description:One or more small, flickering balls of flame. Upon eye contact, the target is compelled to follow its movements. IF an outside stimulus is applied to the target, the genjutsu will be broken, but can be regained once more through eye contact.
Weakness: Easily defeated through coordinated teamwork, or doused by Water Style. Drains the user's chakra while maintained. Requires the user to stay withing range of the jutsu, which, while admittedly large, is virtually useless if the target is out of sight.
====================
Name of Jutsu: Fire Style: Illusion Ash Cloud Rank: a Range: 15 meters Type of Jutsu: Genjutsu, Hiden Element Affinity (If Applicable): Fire
Description: A cloud of grey ash which causes hallucinations and apparitions to those trapped inside. As it is a genjutsu, all pain and exhaustion that occurs while under its influence is entirely real, but physical injuries are not. Anyone trapped inside the cloud is affected similarly, be it friend or foe.
Weakness: Can be dispersed by strong Wind Style, or precipitated by a Water Style with a wide range. Although the user controls any hallucinations occurring within, he is likewise affected if he remains with the cloud. It is an immobile jutsu, and can be escaped by leaving its area of effect.
====================
Name of Jutsu: Summoning Technique: Demonic Salamander Rank: A Range: N/A Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu, supplemental Element Affinity (If Applicable): Fire
Description: Summons a fire-breathing salamander to fight alongside the user. It is useful as a mount or mid-ranged combat partner. It is not terribly intelligent, but will respond to commands such as, "Breathe fire here."
Weakness: The salamander is fragile and will generally disappear after one blow. Additionally, its eyesight is poor and it is vulnerable to taijutsu, should a user be able to approach.
====================
Name of Jutsu: Fire Clone Technique Rank: C Range: 30 meters Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu, Bunshinjutsu Element Affinity (If Applicable): Fire
Description: Similar to most clones, they are weak and will generally fall to one blow. Unable to use jutsu of their own. Create a short burst of flame upon defeat, which is useful against taijutsu users.
Weakness: Limited range of use, virtually useless against ranged jutsu.
====================
Name of Jutsu: Fire Style: Flame Body Armor Rank: C Range: 5 centimeters Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu, supplemental Element Affinity (If Applicable): Fire
Description: The user is cloaked in fire. Provides no real defensive armor, but is a good deterrent of physical attackers who enjoy not being on fire.
Weakness: Ranged physical attacks and Water Style are not hindered. Water Style nullifies the jutsu. The jutsu constantly depletes chakra while in use.
====================
Name of Jutsu: Fire Style: Downpour of Scorching Embers Rank: B Range: 15 meters Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu Element Affinity (If Applicable): Fire
Description: Creates a hail of embers from above to rain down upon the target. Can have its power increased by Wind Style, or be used as an effective combo with Senbon Rain.
Weakness: Fairly weak rate of impact, and is used more to cause burns than incapacitate by force. Can be doused with Water Style or escaped by hiding underground.
====================
Name of Jutsu: Water Style: Archerfish Rank: D Range: 15 meters Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu Element Affinity (If Applicable): Water
Description: A weak jutsu mostly used to put out fires. Could probably annoy someone or push them back a little, at most. The user emits a jet of water from their mouth.
Weakness: Lightning Style would be conducted through to the user. Has very little combat usage anyway.
Thanks, guys! I was using google and DeviantArt, but I just wasn't getting what I was looking for. Safebooru worked better, though, so I've got a decent image now.
Hiya. I'm maybe just a tad new here, but I figured I'd mention that I have a level of interest in this RP. I've role played before, of course, but if I do join I figure I should mention that I've got a rather busy next couple of weeks. Anyway, I might start making a character sheet today or tomorrow, so, uh, yeah.
Edit: Where are you guys getting the pictures for your character sheets, and are they necessary? Would just a description of their appearance be acceptable?
Hullo everyone. Big surprise to find this in the "Introduce Yourself" section, but I'm new here. I've done some roleplaying before, and I loved it, but I was a lot younger then so I'm sincerely hoping my quality has since improved. I'll be around. Maybe.
