An Exercise In Ludicrosity

---

---

Primer

Deep North, Where the Everblight reigns, something else stirs. Is it the dark One of legend, is it the Prime Simulacrum, or perhaps...perhaps it is that which is fabled.

Perhaps it is the Unrisen, the Ascended Being, the Creator and the Destroyer of all. Perhaps...it is Yule.

It which could never be removed.

Whatever it is, I welcome you, traveler, to the Crossroads, where worlds collide and sense has long since fled to the winds.

Prepare thyself.

Seconder

This is a roleplay in which the ludicrous is central. It's a place for humor, and fun, and epic tales. The nonsensical calls this place its home and if you remember that, you will do well. Furthermore, if you recall that memes make the dream machine dream--and that this place is the dream machine, well you'll know that they too belong.

Chatterbox

Theme

---

Mouth briefly agape as numerous members of his fanbase simply...vanished, Chatterbox was left reeling...that was until Whimsy pulled him into motionn. For a moment he followed, unthinking, and then his mind connected the events that had transpired and his focus narrowed. An angry snarl left his lips, a similarly unpleasant expression overtaking his features as he shot off rapidfire tap-commands and small vocal cues into comms with his thralls. He shifted the organization and had them focus on rescue, first-aid, and evacuation. They were to secure the place, with only a few of his empowered remaining in his concourse so he could use them when his power would have real impact.

Speaking of impact, he steered Whimsy, taking the lead, and guiding her in Alloy's direction even as he spoke through comms, loud enough only for them to hear. "Whimsy, we need to touch Alloy and see if her power can take out the rest of the bastard's machinery. It's one of our few chances to deal with him. Thunderbolt, get a bit of distance between you and the Doctor. I don't want any collateral, especially on our end." There was a vicious edge to his words, like he really, truly wanted the man to not just be defeated...but to suffer.

No one took his fans from him, his adoring, endearing followers were innocent and while he would put them in harms way, his intention was never for their lives to end. They weren't useful that way and they could not be with him that way. What the doctor had done was disgusting, beyond even what he would be willing to do for power or amusement or recognition. For that, he would pay. When they captured the bastard and the Broker took his powers, he would brainwash the disgusting freak, find out his weaknesses, that which he cared for most...and then he would give the man awareness of his own actions...so that the 'Good Doctor' could destroy all that he cared about without any control over his own actions.

At the thought of the misery the insect of a man would experience, a cruel smile touched his lips. That was how this had to end. The Doctor had made this personal...so he'd have to respond in kind.

Evelyn Chambers – Tulpa

---

The other wards were encountering Protean, she noted, her Tulpa under the floor, slightly transposed with their target. Receiving intel through the comms and cameras via Decoy, she watched as Protean prepared something.

"I don't fucking think so," she snarled before activating comms.

"I'll deal with whatever he's planning to throw at you. Prepare a counterattack." That said, she finished formulating her projection.

Intent:
Swift/durable brawler. Small form capable of increasing in size and altering shape.

Traits:
Rubber-Flesh-Water(Malleable Outer Surfaces)+Lead(Dense), Steel-Flesh(Spring/Strength), Steel-Rubber(Sturdy Structure), Electricity(Energized), Air-Cloth(Light)| Lead(Heavy).

Powerset:
Baseline high physical resistance and strength. Enhanced reaction. Cellular modulation. Limit: Static physical composition; Static mass. Personal. Low end sonic projection. Limit: Non-damaging.

~~Alternate form. Size scaling. Size increase--error, incompatibility--temporary mass loss. Energy venting entanglement integration. Storage Method: Physical Integration. Reactive Venting Trigger: Uncontrollable. Trigger: Overload.

She locked things in, the silhouette—still in the floor—of her tulpa in the form of a six-limbed creature with deceptivly thin limbs, but a wide torso

"Stay standing..." was all she got before she made her decision.

Manifest.

At the speed of thought her projection's shadow rose from the ground between Protean and her team...and manifested. Immediately there was feedback. With the intention built in for it to protect and assist her teammates in taking out the target, the tulpa lunged towards Protean. It was wide of chest and hips, with four arms and two strange constructions that could be called legs. The arms were thin, Messiah could have wrapped her fingers around one with thumb and pointer finger comfortably touching. Its back had tiny inch long needles all over it and at the end of its arms were vicious looking claws. Its 'legs' were more like coils of muscle or vines if those muscles were...loose. Rather than claws, the legs terminated in splaying tendrils, each which ended in a sharp needle-like protrusion. It had no neck and its head was more like a nub, with no visible eyes or sensory organs. Its 'face' had colored patterns in red and silver on it, while its body was almost entirely steel grey, with winding, swirling markings. From the base of its spine extended something like a tail with the same composition as its 'legs', but much tighter wound.

In the midst of its charge, Protean struck. The end of its 'tail' splayed out as it began to be pushed back towards the Wards. The tail hit the ground and the needles extended into that ground. Suddenly it was anchored. The strike hit it square in the chest and immediately energy erupted off of its body into a three inch-field that crackled like electricity—the smell of ozone immediately apparent. Its form seemed less dense in the aftermath.

With no mouth or orifice to do so, it roared, then sprung back into action, moving towards Protean, seemingly unbothered by the mass it had lost or the veritable storm of crackling energy around it. Reaching with one of its right arms, it attempted to grab Protean's mantis shrimp limb. If the energy made contact it would burn and numb.

Meanwhile, Evelyn herself had taken up a position on the side of a hallway, back to the wall. She was sitting down with her eyes closed, counting in her head and managing her projection and the various intel it was feeding her.

"Don't let the field of energy around my projection touch you. Except you Messiah, your power will absorb it. I have the projection set to assist and protect you guys. I'll be keeping track of the timer on it and managing its actions."

Outsider

Arriving at Sylph's location, he noticed that she was on the ground. Landing, he swapped back into his human form once he'd made sure no one was nearby. He pulled out a white mask and put it on before addressing her. He was in civilian clothes otherwise, clearly not having had time to change due to the urgency of the situation.

"Sylph, are you o--" he stopped mid sentence as he saw what had been a child. He almost threw up, but grit his teeth and swallowed hard, his cheeks flushing and fists clenching. Rage flashed across his features and he put his hand on Sylph's shoulder.

"You have to get up. There's nothing you could have done, but there is something we can do together. If we take him out...we can stop others from sharing a similar fate." He paused, breathing deep, his gaze locked on the horrible sight of the little girl's ruined form. He wouldn't let himself shy away just because it was bad, he wouldn't look away just because it made him want to retch.

He would recognize what had happened while he hadn't been able to do anything. He would do better. "If you don't come with me, I'll have to do it myself. Chances are that will mean a lot of collateral property damage, but I'm willing to go that far to stop this bastard." That said, he stood up fully, pulling away, before he walked a distance and then shifted forms.

A flash of nausea, overpowered by a second rush of rage and he was in his Second Vessel again. The rumbling hollow voice of his form echoed out.

"Either way, I'm going to make sure Eyeblight pays for what he's done." He burst into movement, accelerating all at once as he flew, only several feet from the ground, towards the coffee shop.

As he reached it a pulse pushed out, weak, just enough to shatter the glass of the storefront. His senses told him how many people, their positions, and who was severely injured or otherwise. It also showed him Eyeblight's exact location. Without entering, for he was too big to do so and effectively fight, he turned his head and torso away from the coffee shop. Tentacles easily slid through the gaps the broken store front windows created, snaking at incredibly high speed directly for Eyeblight from several angles. He extended other limbs through the store as he spoke, "Everyone close your eyes, don't panic, I'm getting you out of there."

Those tentacles not attacking, deftly scooped up civilians and pulled them from the store, prioritizing those who weren't already prone on the floor. Those who were injured were likely already beyond his ability to save. Moving them might just worsen their condition. The goal was to get everyone out of the way so he could truly focus on taking down Eyeblight.

Land of Lightning Near Target Outpost

After Midnight

---

It was a standoff, six shinobi, three on each side, no one moving. It was like they’d known they were coming, but not what direction. Yurai grit his teeth and focused on his network, the seals forming to initiate a technique of sorts. Not one of his personal seals, but one he knew how to create. Lightly, he tapped each of his teammates, applying the same seals to them. This way...they wouldn’t have to reveal their plans to the enemy.

“Our orders are unchanged even if we have been discovered. Don’t get captured. Destroy as much as possible and give me time to transport key emplacements. We need to deal with these three quickly and move on before they have the chance to alert anyone else.”

The communication was silent, his lips didn’t even move. “I’ve linked us, don’t talk aloud unless you’re trying to lie or distract the enemy.” That said, he stopped focusing on the link. They’d done this before, they knew how to use the seals. Focus the chakra and try to talk. The seal did the rest.

Turning his attention elsewhere, Yurai stepped away from his teammates, sliding one foot forwards, splaying his fingers out wide. Chakra pulsed through the network of seals throughout his gear. He let his eyes dart between the three obstacles in their path. One man and two women. One of the women had a heavily wrapped object on her back, the other was heavily wrapped herself. The man, his opponent it seemed, was, well...he’d be easy to lose in a crowd.

Activating seals on his feet his sprung at his opponent and that movement was all it took to cause the woman in wrappings to do the same, lunging towards one of his allies. He didn’t have time to help. It would be up to them to deal.

With any luck, they could take care of this quickly. His lips tilted downwards.

As if luck were ever on his side.

A wonderful strike by Alloy, he mused, grinning as he and Whimsy got off Thunderbolt's back. She stayed with him, wonderful. He tapped the communicator at his waist, using tapcode to direct and redirect the flow of his many...many thralls. The empowered kept up their steady noise such that while they could hear 'Dr. Dean,' he hardly had a proper stage or audience listening to him.

Frankly, he didn't care what the man had to say. He was the worst kind of criminal, really, no real purpose, just trifling in the lives of others for the sake of his own amusement.

What a terrible man.

"Whimsy," he began, smiling to himself somewhat, "Can you phase out the floor beneath Dr. Dean?" He said it through comms, quiet enough under the cacaphony of his thralls that the 'Good Doctor' couldn't hear him. "If you can, do so. I want to see how your power interacts with his tech...and the environment. After all, he is still standing on the same floor as us...presumably."

He chuckled to himself, how amusing would it be to sweep the man's stage right out from under him? Phenomenally amusing, he thought.

Speaking of phenomenal thoughts, he reached for his gun in its holster at his hip and wrapped fingers around it. Ready to fire.

If Whimsy's power allowed them to interact with the Doctor...then they'd need to get her to Headhunter's location. It also meant that he might have a chance to capture or detain the man himself. Either would be wonderful, hopefully it was possible.

He supposed they'd find out soon enough. That considered, he waited, his thralls continuing to attempt to impede the man's escape by blocking off exits with chairs or other things on hand even as they used their own bodies to do so. He would not have their target escape. Not if he could help it.

Evelyn Chambers – Tulpa

---

While the others spoke to, and in Elliot's case, unloaded on Colin, Evelyn simply stood, barely able to look at him. She stood at the back of the group and if anyone had seen her face, well...they would have seen an expression of abject disgust and pity. It only lasted a fairly brief time as she composed herself and then—once everyone had said their piece—she commanded her projection to knock the betrayer out. Swiftly, without any prelude or build up, the projection invisibly drew back a limb it had formed from air...soldified it, and struck the betrayer hard enough in the head to knock him out. It would bruise badly.

Immediately afterwards, the projection vanished, the only evidence it had done so the fact that its glowing eyes winked out. Immediately, Evelyn drew in a breath and focused, the projection's shadow sweeping over them...and then expanding throughout the building, getting a thorough scan of Decoy and Protean. That done, she sent it outwards in a spiralling formation, starting at the perimeter of the building and going outwards, gathering material information at a rapid pace. Due to it being inimpeded by most physical laws it only took several seconds for it to gather enough information to satisfy her.

She was already counting down the minutes till she could manifest it again. Following the others, she activated her comms, "I'm going to stay out of sight. I don't want him to target me to try and deal with my projection. I'll be formulating my projection for the fight up until we get to him." She then ended communication, but kept an ear out for further information while she turned the rest of her focus to creating her next weapon.

First she took stock of all the powers at her disposal.

The world has recovered from a war eighty-seven years passed, the first Great War. Now, with the villages founded the Five Nations know a safety and peace that they have not known since before the time of the sage. Life is peaceful, idyllic even...at least for those in the light of the Five. For everyone else just getting the bare essentials is a struggle, as the Five necessitate that smaller nations become reliant upon them. What skirmishes occur happen within the borders of smaller, more vulnerable nations. These battles waged between behemoths destroy land, end lives, and crush the hopes of the poor, the unnoticed, and the downtrodden. The Five would have the world believe that things are perfect, but even within their borders people are ignored or cast aside as soon as their usefulness expires. However, not everyone is content to live in this way, happy to give away comfort for a false sense of security. Those unwilling to conform, and unable to accept the hidden barbarism of the Five have banded together under one banner; the banner of Teiou, Sovereign.

It’s been three years since they came together. In that time they have grown from a small insignificant power, to one organized enough to give the Five Nations pause. In so doing, they give hope to those who are suffering. Still, as with all things peace has a price, and if they must pay it—they will pay it in blood.

⊰ The Crew

@yoshua171|@Ganryu|@Tuujaimaa

Those who fall into this category will be managing the antagonist force and outlying elements of the world in addition to playing in the main organization known as Teiou. Aside from my own role as GM there are no true GMs in the RP, as Gan and Tuuj act more as advisers and assistants, managing certain--largely background--aspects of the world.

⊰ Starting Off

---

Naruto: Continuum is an alternate universe of the popular Naruto manga and anime. Created with the collaborated ideas of many and a large pool of assistants, this roleplay was designed by yoshua171 to give people a chance to help have a large hand in a Naruto world before it was even created. The "ideal" is not only to create a fantastic roleplay, but to weave a community of like-minded individuals together to create a strong social fabric for the roleplay. Ideas have been bounced around and evolved over time, taking new forms and becoming parts of the roleplay when at first their rough forms may have not as easily fit. This is the true ideal. To sand down any idea and build it back up until it fits perfectly, and create a community that can help in that process. In that sense, the roleplay has thus far been successful, as many new ideas have been and are constantly being incorporated into the roleplay and reviewed by its community.

All players--for a long while--will join a fairly young organization known as Teiou. It is a place for the angry and the downtrodden. It is an organization formed to revel against the oppressive rule of the Five Nations. You are some of its first shinobi and you will rise up and seize your freedom from the world even if the cost is blood.

⊰ Ⱦhe World

Spoiler

As seasons have cycles, so do war and peace; prosperity and ruin. While the world was once dictated by the wills of the great beasts that live in it, Imperial creatures more regale and refined than any royalty, it has fallen to the fate of man and their clashing desires. This world we share has had more time pass than we can fathom, yet it has never been whole or perfect for a single moment in its history. As with the seasons changing, each lack what others desire. As with each state of the world, there are those that wish for more and it is true that this world has always lacked something....

That was until the Great Azure Dragon and the Majestic Vermilion Bird made the choice to put the world into the hands of those whom live within it. To usher in an era of man like none other. It is said, by the eldest of elders within every corner of the world, that there was once a great warlord named Tatasuko and a humble wise man known only as the Sage. The warlord Tatasuko coveted the lands of the Sage and thus conquered them ruthlessly despite the peaceful nature of the Sage and his kin. When the Sage, with mere words, stood up to Tatasuko, the warlord stole the Sage's sons. He murdered one and sacrificed the other to the great Phoenix, whom had shed its title as a mere Vermilion Bird.

The Sage, having lost everything and most importantly his family, sought out the Great Azure Dragon, his sovereign beast and the counterpart to the new Phoenix. The great Dragon, distraught with the pain and suffering of a worthy, faithful example of mankind, presented the Sage with six divine trials:

The Trial of Earth was first, and was passed when the Sage used only words to unite those who would stand against the Warlord, saving thousands from depravity and darkness.

The Trial of Fire was second, and was passed when the Sage again used only words to stop rebellion and unneeded conflict, saving the people.

The Trial of Wind was third, and was passed when the Sage understood his followers, their passions, their goals, and their values, uniting not just the people, but himself aswell.

The Trial of Lightning was fourth, and was passed when the Sage was given a quest to leave his people and find the Dragon Shrine. He had saved not only them but himself from destruction, thus was worthy of meeting the Dragon once more. His journey took him through the world and fostered within him an understanding beyond just his people, but one of life itself.

The Trial of Water was fifth, and was passed only when the Sage understood that humility before the Dragon included that of his people and previous trials. He was a living creature, as all things were and so deserved respect.

The Sage ascended to the Dragon Shrine where he was rewarded not only for passing the trials, but also his compassion and love for his son. There, the Dragon gifted the Sage with the Rinnegan - the eyes of the Dragon - and the ability to control chakra, life energy itself. The Sage was then told by the dragon, whom had given him a portion of his own strength, that if the Sage should return with his son and having defeated Tatasuko who himself had the power of the fallen Phoenix, he would be given one final gift. The story goes that a great battle, one that shaped the land itself and changed all of life in a single event, resulted in the victory of the Sage. The Sage saved his surviving son and banished the Phoenix, but through his compassion for all life he could not bring himself to kill Tatasuko. He allowed the warlord, fallen like the Phoenix he worshiped, to flee into the veins of the Earth, never to be seen again.

The Sage returned to the Dragon with his son soon after, explaining his successes and failures. The Dragon, however, was pleased and told the Sage only that he had passed the final trial: The Trial of Yin and Yang. As he respected all life and did not take it, the Sage was granted the ability to give life by the Dragon, thus ushering in the era of the Sage of Six Paths. The Sage served the Dragon for the remainder of his life and continued to fight the Phoenix, but never attempted to end him. This was the new cycle. This was the new way. Even the Juubi was sealed by the Sage and given a chance at life in ways that stretched the imagination. He even loved his rescued son far too much to intervene with the Curse of Hatred placed upon him by the fallen Phoenix, fated to plague generations henceforth.

The Sage taught his trials, his journeys, his battles and his idealogy to countless apprentices in a style he called Ninshuu. As all life was connected, he wished to use the life energy he was taught to control to bring all life together. He sent his apprentices--the first masters of Ninshuu--across the world to teach the world their ways. As time passed and the Sage did as well, the following generations took Ninshuu and stripped it of its core values thus creating ninjutsu. Sages became Shinobi. Masters became veterans. The teachings and trials of the Sage, slowly but surely, were cast aside and forgotten.

Those that mastered ninjutsu passed it on to only who they trusted most, eventually creating clans. Most have blood ties, and even some have such close ties that they have developed abilities and methods of manipulating chakra only they can use. These have become Kekkei Genkai, bloodline limits. New techniques have been created, limits have been pushed, and the imagination has brought forth power unconsidered by the Sage himself. These clans, ever expanding, growing more powerful with each generation, have recently begun their friction with each other. The world is not black and white anymore. Or, should one say, Azure and Vermilion. There are more sounds than can be counted, more leaders than any treaty can keep content.

It is in this political climate that the clans fall to warring amongst themselves as tensions reach their breaking point. Clans slaughtered, alliances made, coalitions formed. As the years pass blood continues to stain the earth's poor soil until finally the skirmishes gradually cease. The land is left bloodied, the people ragged and tired. The war, in future years, will be known as the First Shinobi War, but for now it has no name...it is a nebulous tragedy, tainting everything and everyone who took part. Ruining generations of shinobi.

Afraid of those outside their newfound allies, clans begin to congregate, form small settlements. Perhaps it is the beginning of a new era, regardless it is the rise of the great shinobi villages. What form they will take however is unknown.

Still time passes and people forget the horrors of war and something stirs as the five nations lord their power over the world. Away from prying eyes...something stirs.

It is the time to shed the Jaded Ideals of the past and shape the Continuum's future. Be it great...or terrible.

Additional Info

The Daimyo, and thus the Land of Iron, exist already. As such the world is separated into the Elemental countries we know so well. They are the Land of Wind, the Land of Lightning, the Land of Fire, and Land of Water, and the Land of Earth respectively. The villages have just begun to take shape and it is up to you to decide what shapes they take.

The map seen above is primarily for geographical purposes so that we can measure distance and the landmarks of various areas.

I hope you enjoy our RP, and feel free to come to me or my Advisers if you have any questions."

>The Sage died three-hundred-eighty-Seven years ago, which was also when the Juubi was split into the nine Bijuu.
>The First Shinobi War lasted 15 years.

⊰ Rules

---

Spoiler

1. Metaphors, similes, analogies and other figures of speech used in any description made by a roleplayer are not considered 'true' and can be contested and/or debunked by a Moderator or two-thirds vote of the present player roster. This applies to any background, history or description of an item, character or event not made by Staff.

--In laymen's terms, do not try to slip in loopholes by using clever wording or hiding abilities throughout your sheet that ought not be there. Be straightforwards, and honest about your characters abilities and I’ll never have to point you back at this rule.

2. Anything created by the players for the setting, or for their characters, is subject to use and subjugation by the Staff. This does not apply to specific characters or items, but it does apply to anything not approved into the setting and used as descriptors for their characters, items, or events, such as NPCs.

--Basically, if you make a clan, I may make an NPC, as can anyone else, within that clan without asking first. If you make three ancestral weapons for your clan and only use one for your character, then a GM, or other individual, may use said weapon for another character or plot point. That’s the jist of things at least.

3. The staff/moderators have the privilege of going back and changing any aspect of this roleplay, including characters, events and even dialogue which have happened and/or were not created by /and/ subsequently accepted by Staff; anything that was accepted will require approval from its creator.

--Myself and/or any future GMs may go back and make changes where needed, though we cannot do so after a character, or the like, is accepted unless the creator of said character gives permission.

4. I, and any other GM have the right to end an arc and skip it with a timeskip resulting in whatever edits, additions, and/or plot events we see fit from the last posted point in the Arc, till the point after the time skip. We may kill a character or the roleplay entirely at any time and that they decide whom may create a splinter RP in the same extended universe. I will usually ask to kill someone’s character, and will try to work with people if we need to skip an arc entirely.

5. Going hand-in-hand with the first rule, I and the other GMs are allowed to interpret metaphor, simile, and the like as we see fit as long as our interpretation does not contradict previous actions in the course of the RP.

6. No godmodding, metagaming or powerplaying. If you forgot what these mean, read below:

Godmodding: The practice of controlling someone else’s character without their express permission to do so. Even minor actions can fall into this category. Autohitting falls into this area as well, as does being able to dodge/block anything/everything in an unrealistic or unexplained fashion.

Metagaming: The practice of your character knowing OOC knowledge that they had no way of reasonably obtaining. This will include suddenly figuring out someone else’s abilities/jutsu and how it functions after it has been told or narrated in the IC. Unless there is a logical manner to discovering the information and you successfully achieve such, your character should not and will not know it. I may chew people out for doing this. Seriously.

Powerplaying: Basically making your character godawful powerful for the sake of being powerful, often without the character having any real substance (personality, backstory/history etc). Not as terrible an offense, and it won’t happen since I’ll be grading CSes. To avoid this consider whether or not your technique/Kekkei genkai/Weapon/Armor abilities can each be countered in some manner and that together they do not make you invincible, if they are counterable, then they’re likely fine.

7. This roleplay, as a collaborative project, is about working with one another, and while there is certain to be conflict, due to the nature of the Narutoverse, please remain civil. If an issue cannot be solved amongst yourselves and it is not strictly personal, refer to the GM(s), aka myself (for the moment). If it is personal, you will be promptly told to take it to PMs, and if you don’t, there can and will be consequences for disrupting the peace.

8. My word is law, if I say no to something, or allow something, it’s typically a done deal. If I however missed something, feel free to inform me. I am not beyond reproach.

9. This is an AU(Alternate Universe) roleplay, and as such none of the canon characters ever existed excluding the Rikudo Sennin (Sage of Six Paths) and his two sons.

10. If you need to take a leave of absence, tell myself or someone in the RP who can get the message to me, first. I will be quite aggravated if people disappear all willy-nilly. If you have lost your will to be in the RP, exit your character, or at least tell me you are officially leaving. This RP works on a seven(7) day rule, in which you should post. At the end of seven(7) days you will be notified that you are holding up the RP. At this point you will be given five(5) additional days to post. If you do not notify us why you are unable to post, your character will be delegated to NPC status at which point it can be controlled by GMs or approved players as well as killed. If you supply sufficient explanation, your character will be guided out of the way so as not to further hinder posting. This rule does not apply to interactions that are not holding up the RP.

11. When one begins to develop a piece of equipment, jutsu, or otherwise ability one should get it approved or modified by the GM BEFORE the technique/equipment is gained by the character. This is to prevent one from gaining things ICly that would be game breaking and retains the necessary amount of balance on a given character.

This list is subject to edits as I may see fit to add other techniques to it. Additionally, game-related jutsu, kekkei genkai, weaponry, or hiden are not considered canon and thus are not available for use.

Shunshin, the Body Flicker technique, and Lightning Release armor cannot be used simultaneously--End of story.

Body Replacement Technique

The Body-replacement technique requires you first mark an object with your chakra. Once marked, you must execute two handseals to activate it, after which it will activate 1 second later switching the user’s position with the marked object.

Body Flicker Technique

Individuals below C rank may not use this technique in combat unless it is their main focus. Those of B rank can use it 3 times and those above can use it up to 5 times in combat. You can be hit while it is in use, which will interrupt it as it is high speed movement, not teleportation.

Senjutsu

Senjutsu may be learned at around chuunin rank, but it will be rudimentary at first and require diligent training and development. Tapping into senjutsu will only be truly useful if one intends to become a fully-fledged sage somewhere down the line. Otherwise any senjutsu talents/abilities you learn are likely to be grossly limited due to lack of skill/training as well as dedication to the art. Sages will be around the same level as, other individuals of their respective rank.

The Uchiha

For the moment the maximum amount of player characters possessing the Sharingan is 2. For now these characters must all be Uchiha, meaning you cannot make someone who has stolen the Sharingan and implanted it. This is subject to change depending on the circumstances and the outcomes of the roleplay.

The Mangekyou Sharingan, when unlocked is not immediately an Uchiha’s default doujutsu. They may continue to use their normal sharingan, choosing when to activate or deactivate their Mangekyou. Typically you will be required to gain the Mangekyou ICly. However, an exceptional character sheet, which is sufficiently balanced, may be accepted with it.

Amaterasu will be unable to be put out with water or oxygen deprivation as per the usual, but it can be absorbed via seals, or filtered out/sealed in advanced seals/barriers if they are not outright destroyed by the flames first. The flames will move slowly. These weaknesses will apply to scorch release techniques as well, which must be learned from an Uchiha via observation or direct tutoring.

Susanoo may not possess the Yata mirror or the Sword of Totsuka. Its manifestation is not instantaneous and the skeleton/figure created by the technique is incredibly heavy, disallowing high-speed movement almost entirely during its activation.

Both Susanoo and Amaterasu will possess high chakra costs no matter the user’s chakra control.

As the Mangekyou was originally stated to give unique abilities to each Uchiha who awakened it, this will be the case in this RP. You may choose to possess Amaterasu and/or Susanoo, but you do not have to. Any given Mangekyou Sharingan has a maximum of three abilities, two if you wish both to be expansive and particularly potent.

The Sharingan will not allow perfect replication/prediction of people's techniques ever. Replication of people's techniques can certainly happen, but depending on the skill of the Uchiha it will take them less or more training to properly copy someone's technique(s). Prediction will work, but only 2 steps ahead with normal sharingan and 4 with Mangekyou unless you have a unique ability of your own construction for that. Keep in mind that eventually, with overuse of Mangekyou, an Uchiha will go blind and lose their sharingan's abilities overall.

Izanami, Izanagi, Kotoamatsukami, and Kamui are outright banned and thus do not exist in this verse. The Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan's existence is a fiercely guarded secret. The requirements are both for a transplant to occur in addition to others that will not be detailed. There is a chance of failure, in which the transplanted Mangekyou will not render the eyes 'Eternal,' but will instead act as a sort of 'reset' to their state.

The Rinnegan

Do not ask for it, for the answer will be, no. It does exist, though the form it exists in are somewhat different. When and if the Rinnegan is implemented only two people, maximum, may have it. Possessing the Rinnegan will not grant the individual all five affinities unless they obtain both types.

The two types of Rinnegan are as such. There is the Paths Rinnegan (eyes of the Dragon), which allows the holder the potential to learn and utilize the six paths. The second form is the Sensory Rinnegan, which allows sensory abilities roughly equivalent to the Byakugan in addition to Onmyouton(yin-yang release). The two forms are equally powerful and equally rare.

Rinbo: Hengoku and Amenotejikara are both banned. Ashura and Indra, the sage’s sons in canon, will not reincarnate, and as such their DNA is not strictly required to possess the Rinnegan.

Space-Time Ninjutsu

While I will not outright ban space-time ninjutsu, I will say that if you create one it is going to receive harsh scrutiny. Furthermore, Hiraishin, aka the Flying Thunder God Technique, will gain certain limitations depending on the skill of the user in the area of fuinjutsu. These weaknesses depend on how one wants to balance the technique.

Shikotsumyaku

As with Space-time Ninjutsu, the Shikotsumyaku kekkei genkai is not strictly banned. However, it will be strictly watched and severely graded if one is to put it on a character.

⊰ Mechanics

Spoiler

The rules for Combat and Jutsu are something of a must, but I understand that people can and will make mistakes. This is perfectly fine, just do try to keep these things in mind. If you decide to fight and plan the outcome of that fight out to some extent, some of these descriptors may not apply. Furthermore, while the time stamps are preferred, they are not explicitly necessary. Still, don't complain to me when no one knows what happened when.

Combat and Jutsu

In combat and when describing Jutsu, you must use time, rather than post amount, to measure the duration or prep time of techniques or actions. More or less figure out how long something would take to physically do, figure the vague speed of the technique, and use that to assist in the conclusion.

It would also be quite helpful to state the distance between yourself and the one you’re fighting. Trust me, doing these two things not only helps the other players out, but it will also improve your own skill in combat as you become familiar with the method.

Combat Example

Rising to his feet, Kuro took his stance and waited for his enemy to attack him. His opponent, who stood only 8 meters away, braced himself before erupting forwards at high speed, charging Kuro. It would take the shinobi roughly 5-8 seconds to reach him, so Kuro acted swiftly. Weaving handseals and drawing forth his katana, the man had almost crossed the distance when Kuro’s katana ignited in flames as he slashed forwards. The shinobi would have to dodge the three arcs of fire, which would hit him 2 seconds before the man finished crossing the distance.

Time and Location Stamps

Basically, at the top of every post, please state the time and location of your character. If your character is going from one location to another you can state such. Here’s a helpful format to do so, though the format is not strictly necessary.

Location – Time

This assists in keeping everything in the same time so we don’t cause time paradoxes and also so we can document things on the site. Additionally, the time of day should be general, not specific, as we don’t exactly have clocks. So things like what follows:

Early Morning
Morning
Midday
Afternoon
Evening
Night
Midnight

As to location, it is good to list both the general location (which land you are in) and specific location (a forest, a clan compound etc etc).

Stamp Example

Normal

Land of Fire/Uchiha Compound – Midday

Transitional

Uchiha Compound-->Senju Compound – Midday

Uchiha Compound – Between Midday and Afternoon

Positions, Ranks, and Abilities

The more effort you put into your character’s history, personality, and clan information the more likely I am to allow your character(s) to have a higher position in a clan or organization, in addition to rank or abilities. If you have the concept for an ability or the like and can’t figure out how to balance it, present it to me and I may be able to help.

After all, I have a deep understanding of how chakra and the like functions in Naruto and I am willing to assist you in balancing things. However, if I outright say no to something, you need to accept that the answer is no. Typically I will give suggestions as to what you could change to balance something. If you want the technique, more often then not those suggestions are required.

Specialized Weapons & Items:

Name of Weapon or Item: Daihitsu(_代筆 'Amanuensis').

Description: Taking the form of a dagger-like blade, Daihitsu is essentially a large blade-edged fountain pen. Within the handle is a seal crafted reservoir of ink. Chakra is used to open the seal and, as a result, all the ink that exits the implement is chakra-infused. The weapon is particularly durable unless the hidden seals are disrupted, but this is an unlikely scenario as they are ‘folded’ within the blade and handle. The length of the blade can change, allowing Daihitsu to become anything inbetween a shortsword and a dagger. The ink--while not fatally so--is quite toxic and will cause issues if it gets into the bloodstream. Specifically the ink will inhibit chakra from properly circulating in the body, creating blockages or deficiencies. The chakra related effects of Daihitsu’s ink tend to last only several minutes, but can last longer if enough ink gets into the system. The quantity of ink necessary to kill someone is quite large, so it is mostly a deterrent and a stalling tool, rather than a lethal one.

====================

Name of Weapon or Item: ( '').

Description: His gear (cloak, pants, shirt, leather armor beneath (shin guards, bracers), foot coverings and everything in between) is all woven and dyed with seals. The dye is invisible at this point. There are certain nodes (one central node and a bunch that help organize information and act as back-ups) that his chakra flows through to control the system. The nodes/system allow him the chakra control that his natural body doesn’t. The system is jacked directly into his nervous system via tattoos over his flesh and a chakra network connection of sorts. The seal network allows him to swiftly activate and deactivate perhaps hundreds of seals in concert to facilitate numerous effects.

Name of Hiden: Keisan Gyōretsu(_計算行列 'Computation Matrix').

Clan: Antare.

Description: A technique hidden deep in the archives of the Antare clan, Keisan Gyōretsu is a term that describes a subset of exceptionally advanced fuinjutsu, which is capable of generating other forms of jutsu, including fuinjutsu. Essentially, a Keisan Gyōretsu is an analytical engine created and maintained via a complex array of seals. There are two reasons that this form of fuinjutsu is kept hidden and, furthermore, not used by the clan unless absolutely necessary.

The first of these reasons is the fact that the Antare variant--the only one to which they are explicitly aware--requires that the user be directly connected to the network in order for it to function. This stipulation, so far as they can tell, was built into the subset of techniques to keep the engine from running independently and eventually acting in an unforeseen manner. However, the technique is typically very strenuous on its user’s mind, causing immense mental strain if used for any extended period of time. As a result of this, the technique is--officially--classified as a kinjutsu.

The second reason on the other hand exists so that the rest of the world cannot get their hands on the particulars of the technique, as such an occurrence could be have disastrous long-term consequences. Not only would exposure and mastery of these forms of fuinjutsu revolutionize the world, but they would almost certainly create any number of monsters where before there were none.

Yurai uses this technique to largely circumvent the incredible deficiency he has in the realm of chakra control allowing him to use jutsu where otherwise he would be unable. More importantly however, is the fact that Yurai has managed--after many years of research and alteration--drastically reduce the strain caused to the human mind due to exposure to the Keisan Gyōretsu. He believe he is also close to either removing the strain entirely or allowing the matrix to run without the necessity for a human ‘host’ as it were.

Custom Jutsu

Program Seals

A set of seals typically used in concert to generate a potentially vast number of combo-effects. Each seal is fairly useless or inconsequential on its own, but together they can be truly frightening.

Name of Technique: Nyūmon Fūin(_入門封印 'Primer-seal').
Type of Jutsu: Supplemental Fuinjutsu.
Rank: Variable.
Range: Contact/Applied.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: Simply put, this is a fuinjutsu that allows an individual to make it even more difficult than usual to remove their seals through methods other than damaging them. Furthermore, this technique allows a seal user to create the entire framework for a seal...but render it totally useless until they input the necessary primer-seal. Essentially, these act as keys and ‘signatures’ of a sort. If you don’t have the right key, you can’t unlock the seal...or decode it. Furthermore, depending on the complexity of the primer, they can be used to institute additional effects, such as destroying the seal if tampering is detected.

Weakness: Typical seal weaknesses apply.

Weakness: Fuinjutsu weaknesses, but only if the nodes are compromised or if placed on non-gear surfaces. The degree of this seal’s success lowers as the complexity of a system increases. Similarly, the seal-network must become more complex to properly interface properly with other systems. The aforementioned can necessitate multiple points or instances of contact before a proper seal can be made to initiate a successful use of the technique.

====================

Name of Technique: Heisetsu(_併設 'Link').
Type of Jutsu: Fuinjutsu.
Rank: C.
Range: Contact/Applied.
Nature Type: N/A.

Type of Jutsu: Fuinjutsu.
Rank: B.
Range: Contact/Applied.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: A seal-network that is typically a combination of ‘Replenish,’ ‘Accelerate,’ and ‘Field.’ This technique causes molecules to become excited as energy is imparted into them, rapidly causing the generation of heat energy therein.

Weakness: Break contact as well as typical seal weaknesses.

Type of Jutsu: Fuinjutsu.
Rank: A.
Range: Contact/Applied.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: A seal-network that is a combination of ‘Lock,’ ‘Field,’ and ‘Interface.’ This technique causes the affected to be nigh impossible to damage or otherwise affect. Essentially turns the affected into an inviolable state wherein it become exceptionally difficult to notably affect them.

Weakness: Fuinjutsu weaknesses, but only if the nodes are compromised or if placed on non-gear surfaces. This technique, if used for any significant length of time is very chakra hungry.

Name of Technique: Katamari Tenchi(_塊転置 'Mass Transposition').
Type of Jutsu: Space-time Fuinjutsu.
Rank: S.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: 5.
Description: A particularly advanced technique, this requires that a significant amount of prep occur before it can be utilized. Before the technique can be activated a minimum of 5 seals and a maximum of 9 must be placed around the space in which the target items exist, with the last seal being in the center of the array. Once placed, the seals typically require 2 minutes to become sufficiently empowered by surrounding ambient chakra--unless the ambient chakra is greater than average. Once charged, the five handseals are executed, at which point all inanimate matter within the array is transported to a designated location instantaneously in what appears a violent collapse and then expansion of space. The seal array is irreparably damaged by the violent warping of space during the technique’s use, leaving little to nothing for anyone to analyze after the fact. The chakra used to create the seals--as well as the ambient chakra in the area--is similarly disordered following a successful use of Katamari Tenchi, making it virtually impossible to reverse engineer or counteract the technique easily.

Weakness: Requires a significant amount of set-up, is not combat oriented, and cannot transfer living subjects. Similarly, if any of the seals are marred during or prior to the technique’s activation, it will either outright fail to initiate or violently collapse and expand space without actually transporting the target material(s). This warping of space is exceptionally dangerous to anyone nearby as it is unstable and due to condensing and then expelling the material within the bounds of the array, it will basically create a rather potent shrapnel bomb. If the technique cannot draw upon ambient chakra, the user must supply it themselves, meaning they will drastically reduce the chakra left for them to fight any would-be aggressors. A small anchor seal must be placed at the intended destination(s) so that the seal array knows where to send the target material. The central seal requires a primer-seal, if such is not utilized, it renders the entire array useless.

History: Ayame has spent most of her life either in the Iouchiryo compound, training and connecting with her family...or abroad. In her days she has seen the oppressive shadow of the five nations, ever closing its grip over the smaller nations like a vice. This and a mission from her clan to investigate Iwagakure--playing the part of an innocent civilian--is what lead her to her current path. While living amongst the people of Iwagakure and spying on their leadership at every opportunity, Ayame learned of how well those within the village lived in comparison to those outside it...and especially those in smaller countries far afield. So, her mission completed, she returned to the compound and reported her findings.

For a time she argued with the elders of the clan, beseeching them to help...to do something about the inequality in the world and this farce of peace they’ve had for many years now. Angry at their refusal and thinking them to have grown soft, Ayame ralied those of her ilk who would listen...and left, intending only to return when her duty was done. Since then she has searched for a way to strike back at the five great nations and the necessary people to do so. Eventually she met [insert co-founder name here] and together they formed Teiou and carried out the first successful strike to the nations. Though a small victory, the two managed to take out one of several outposts of the Land of Wind, reducing their trade and stealing resources as well.

From there they expanded, traveling abroad and gathering like-minded individuals, the downtrodden, the angry, and those hungry for change. Gradually, Teiou has expanded from just a small number to perhaps two hundred individuals spread over several bases of operation. While recruiting continues, Ayame and [co-founder] believe it is finally time...that they are finally ready to truly strike against the false peace of the Five Nations...and right the wrongs that they have done.

Personality: Ayame is a passionate woman who appreciates loyalty, respect, and adherence to one’s values. She’s an idealist in many ways, but a realist at the end of the day, understanding that the world is neither wholly darkness or light, but a balance of the two. While she holds a deep compassion for her fellow man and intense loyalty, she is still ultimately pragmatic and her actions reflect such. Similarly, despite the powerful emotions the move her, she is hardly ruled by them, as her iron will keeps her from simply riding an endless train of emotional highs and lows. Yet, she does have her flaws, for while loyalty is certainly valuable, its combination with idealism and compassion can blind Ayame to the true nature of those around her as she often fixates on the good in their hearts.

X explosive tags
X smoke bombs

X shuriken
X wire
X Bandages

Specialized Weapons & Items:

Name of Weapon or Item: Treated Holders.

Description: Rather than a simple item, this refers to all of the various pouches that Ayame uses to store her various tools and equipment. Essentially, she has treated the outside with heat and fluid resistant coatings in addition to having some of her more experienced relatives line the insides of the pouches with seals, protecting things like, say, her explosive tag pouch from being detonated easily. Should her explosive tag pouch be breached by something, the seal activates before being disrupted, essentially shredding the tags before they can be detonated.

====================

Name of Weapon or Item: Sasayaku(_囁く ‘Whisper’).

Appearance

Description: A pair of Emei Piercers enhanced repeatedly with earth and basic chakra to a point that they have become highly durable. Unlike normal Piercers, these enhance chakra control within them to a high degree.

Combat Data

Special Traits
Emei Piercer and Taijutsu Mastery
Nintaijutsu Specialist
High Chakra Control
Large Chakra Pool

Divine Inspiration - Preternatural Awareness: Ayame's awareness of her own body and the space a foot or so from it is greater than average. With training it has become honed further, giving her the ability to almost intuitively/instinctually react even while moving at high speed. Her senses are inhumanly sharp, but more uniquely, can be focused to the space within only a few feet of her body, allowing her to detect things, process them, and react to things far more quickly than a normal human.

Custom Jutsu

Name of Technique: Kiyō Sonae(_器用備え 'Dexterous arrangement').
Type of Jutsu: Nintaijutsu.
Rank: D.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: Channeling chakra through one's own muscles, nerves, and other necessary tissues—typically within the arms, wrists and hands—the user enhances their ability to skillfully manipulate objects as well as increasing the speed at which they can do so. This technique should not be utilized for extended periods of time as it causes undue strain on the affected body parts. Despite this, it is relatively useful, and while it is a simple technique based on typical principles, it does require decent chakra control to fully utilize. This may make techniques such as Chakra Flow or other projected chakra-based abilities more difficult to perform without interrupting the technique.

Weakness: Listed above.

====================

Name of Technique: Kōgu kuchiyose(_{工具口寄せ} 'Tool Summoning').
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: B
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: An adaptation of the summoning technique created through study of Lightning Flash Blade Creation, this technique allows the user to effectively 'link' a series of seals laid upon objects. The technique is most often utilized for the quick recall of various ninja tools to one’s hands.

*This seal is applied to her palms and Emei Piercers.

Weakness: Disrupt the seals or channel chakra through an object with them and the user will be unable to use this technique properly.

====================

Name of Technique: Kaatsu-ka(_加圧下 'Under Pressure').
Type of Jutsu: Supplementary ninjutsu.
Rank: B.
Range: Contact.
Nature Type: Wind.
Handseals: 2.
Description: This technique allows the user to reduce the friction of air in their direct vicinity and alter the air pressure to great advantageous air currents that amplify or guide their movements. This technique can be extended to objects in their possession and anchored, allowing said objects to move faster and further.

Weakness: Affinity weaknesses. Low chakra cost, additional cost if objects it is anchored to travel more than 2 meters from the user.

====================

Name of Technique: Hachiman no Keihin(_{八幡神の景品} 'Hachiman’s Gift').
Type of Jutsu: Nintaijutsu.
Rank: C.
Range: Personal.
Nature Type: Earth.
Handseals: 1.
Description: Channeling chakra into the hands and wrists, the user performs the necessary handseals, moulding both regular and earth chakras within the aforementioned areas. The result is a drastic increase in durability to the hands in addition to incredible raw strength. The strength is such that a single finger can deliver a similar amount of force to a strike with an individual’s full weight behind it. Durability is high enough to catch blades not enhanced by wind affinity chakra or techniques like Chakra Scalpel or Flying Swallow.

Weakness: Affinity weaknesses and the technique is mostly supplementary. Furthermore, the technique has a high chakra cost in proportion to the small amount of the body that it amplifies.

====================

Name of Technique: Tengoku no Handan(_{天国の判断} 'Heaven’s Judgement').
Type of Jutsu: Nintaijutsu.
Rank: A.
Range: Personal.
Nature Type: Wind.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: The user channels wind chakra into their weapon of choice and it binds to said surface, acting as a sharp container, trapping any air that comes into contact with it. Initially, the cutting and piercing power of the object is amplified sufficiently to cut through, or pierce, stone but as the technique remains active it becomes more pronounced. Eventually a cutting/piercing extension of the weapon is released on contact with any surface. This effect, with time, becomes so potent that it will appear as if metal or stone is blasted open due to the size of the projected wind blade. The extension is only visible by how it disturbs surrounding matter.

Weakness: Affinity weaknesses and it takes time to become truly deadly. Has a high chakra cost, then maintains itself until dismissed or disrupted.

====================

Name of Technique: Kiryū Shinzui(_気流真髄 'Slipstream Geist').
Type of Jutsu: Nintaijutsu.
Rank: A.
Range: Personal.
Nature Type: Wind.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: The user first activates Kaatsu-ka, after which point they channel wind chakra through their body. While this occurs they utilize a modified version of the Shunshin no Jutsu. The following movements are so fast and fluid that the user is almost impossible to follow. The state is maintained for only several seconds at a time, after which it becomes impossible without strain for ten seconds. While active, the technique makes the user doubly vulnerable to fire affinity. The user’s movements border on flight, with them actually being able to change direction mid-air, though it must be on a curve, rather than on a sharp angle.

Weakness: Seen above.
