Naruto: Years of Winter - an Alternate Universe

[Bishop]

That was very detailed and insightful on the problems it would bring. I liked all your listed points about the problem from the N to the O. I will reconstruct my character as required...(genin-chuunin).

“Jutsu Limits”

Note: N/A in front of a rank means 'no limit' within reason. You can use as many of these as you like although that doesn't mean you have to use every one of them. They also need to make sense. A character with an aptitude for high level lightning jutsu will probably have more of these N/A lightning jutsu than fire jutsu. Simple as that.

“Genin”

• 0 A-rank.
• 1 B-rank.
• 2 C-rank.
• 2 D-rank.
• N/A E-rank.

“Chunin”

• 1 A-rank.
• 3 B-rank.
• 4 C-rank.
• N/A D-rank.
• N/A E-rank.

“Jounin”

- on request.

• 1 S-rank.
• 3 A-rank.
• 4 B-rank.
• N/A C-rank.
• N/A D-rank.
• N/A E-rank.

“Kage”

- Never accepting kage level characters. We'll ask you to make them if we need one.

• N/A S-rank.
• N/A B-rank.
• N/A C-rank.
• N/A D-rank.
• N/A E-rank.

Note: Kage-level characters will not be judged on their jutsu lists or anything of the sort, they will be judged on identity: are they interesting, are they worthy of the kage-level stamp and do they serve a good, useful purpose? That's because once you reach jonin status, it becomes really quite easy to pass into kage-level areas, and beyond kage there are no ranks. That means the power levels within kage-level characters fluctuate heavily.

“Banned Jutsu”

---

General bans refer to simply not being allowed to have this jutsu on any character, in or out of battle.
Combat bans refer to bans for combat only, meaning they are allowed outside of combat.
Limit jutsu refer to jutsu that are allowed, in and out of combat, but have limited usage.

• Flying Thunder God Jutsu - general ban.
• Body Flicker Technique - combat ban.
• Body Replacement Technique - limit jutsu, 3 uses per battle.
• Chimera Technique - general ban.

@Bishop

Because if everyone starts as a genin, but you start as a genin that has a chuunin level of power, then that's obviously a problem if PvP ever happens (which will probably happen).

[Thecrash20]

I'd join, but I just hate the idea of starting out as a Genin. We all know this is not going to be a 6 month Rp. The one this came from didn't last a week. So why cripple us. To me its like "Look at all this cool stuff and you can barley do anything lol" Now it makes sense for progression, but I see that only for things that don't have established lore or is a original RP idea. Since all this established things are invented already, the RP should focus more on our actions and character interaction more than just pushing through to be able to get a B rank technique.

Also pvp is so hard to do. It always ends up so bad, unless GM is using dice and we have a one/two move restriction of attack/defend/Balanced that effect the dice roll. Even if we are not all even, luck and bad decisions will still let a Genin wreck a Junnin. The only thing techniques of skill should change is the damge done IF hit and the range of it.

[Dion]

@Thecrash20 We've ran these RP's before. Progression is typically fast as long as people give us a good reason to promote them. We also typically allow 'new jutsu's' to be added as long as a reason can be cited.

The trick is to be a good roleplayer and get rewarded for it.

Also, if your sole motivation to join this RP is 'I want to be able to do this technique' then perhaps this isn't the right RP. We want character interaction, not dick-waving contests of whoever can cram the most OP jutsu's into a characters. That's why there's a limit on jutsu. Because we want you to be creative, and not focus solely on your characters power.

PvP happens based on logic and discussion. This isn't an arena RP, therefore PVP will be decided based on predetermined discussion or otherwise making the most effective use of a moveset.

But, PVP probably will not happen any time soon. It'll be later on at least.

[Hillan]

@Thecrash20

To add on what Buddha said - this RP didn't come from anything else, except our want for a Naruto RP, and as the interest check says, we do in fact know what we're doing. It's far from our first rodeo, if you put in the commitment to the RP, it'll be awesome, because we're two GM's who are willing to stick with this, provided we get a good cast of interesting characters and dedicated players.

[Thecrash20]

I guess we'll see then. Good luck to all of you.

[Dion]

@Thecrash20 Cheers.

Personal Biography

Ｐｅｒｓｏｎａｌ ｂｉｏｇｒａｐｈｙ: Farren's story starts before he was born on how he was conceived. His mother Akane Uchiha was out on a long mission for the great ninja war His father, Daichi Yamanaka and mother were comrades they got separate from their squads while on a covert mission to watch the Cloud village from a far. During the mission one thing led to another when they should not have and Farren was conceived right before the mission was called off and they had to return to the village,
Farren was born before the great ninja war began, his father was found dead three days after his birth. It was ruled 'natural' causes the official death stamp says Daichi died of a heart attack. Many suspect he was murdered by either someone from his own clan or the Uchiha clan. The main suspect was Drax Uchiha Akane's husband before she went out to on that long mission. A man she already had another son with who was ten years older than Farren.
It was obvious who Farren's father was as Farren was born with Yanmaka white blond hair. Drax reluctantly raised him with his Akane. Farren grew up within the Uchiha Compound. Due to his mixed bloodline a few radical factions tried to assassinate him three times. Each time stopped by his big brother Gorou.
His older half-brother didn't care that Farren had a different father, he treated Farren as an older brother unlike Gorou's father he had no hatred whats so ever. Gorrou was a very talented ninja and graduated fast. When Farren was two, Gorrou became a geninn, it was the first attempt on his life. A group of Yamakaka radicals Gorou stopped with a massive fireball jutsu. The second attempt happened when Farren was six and started up in the ninja academy. Gorou made it to an AMBU squad. This second attempt was a pure Uchiha radical group. Farren was coming home from school when they tried to attack. They met up with Gorou's gaze of his sharingan. Gorou placed them under genjutsu in the form of Tsukuyomi.
A threat Gorou made to permanently break their minds if they ever try to harm his brother again deterred them from this attempt. The third and last attempt happened right before the great ninja war. Farren was turning twelve close to geninn proper age. The third attempt was by a single lone assassin in the form of Drax his own step father. As Farren slept Drax attempt to murder him.
Gorou stopped his own father he crushed his father's arm and leg with a newly awakened Susanoo ability. He nearly killed his father for trying to harm his brother. The arm and leg were a message to anyone else who would try to harm his brother he would stop anyone and everyone.
Gorou was sent out to the war. During the second year Gorou was killed. His body was returned it was mutilated. His eyes had been removed and are still missing. It was thought that someone stole the eyes after they killed Gorou in battle. His body was heavily charred, so what killed him is a mystery but there are visible stab wounds on his back more fatal strikes then there are on his front. There were and are rumors someone stabbed him from behind and killed him.
　
Farren had failed the Genin test multiple times, he wanted to pass it when his brother returned but when his brother returned dead. It sent him into despair. Farren skipped a lot of academy classes which prolonged him graduating longer. Over time and a bit of investigating Farren wanted to know what really happened.

Farren is close to graduating and becoming a Genin. The radical groups seem to fear that Farren might be as strong as Gorou was even though the truth is the complete opposite he isn't anywhere near as strong or as skilled in fact he is weak just acts strong convincingly.

history spoilers

'''What actually happened secret spoilers to Farren's brother'''
Gorou during a mission within the great ninja war. Gorou in a squad of Uchiha were sent out to investigate camp. When they got to the camp, everyone was dead. Gorou was in a squad of four, five if they including him. They checked the corpses, they were all ridged with paper bombs and they had exploded. All four other members of the squad were killed by the trapped. Gorou survived by activating his eyes and surrounding himself with his Susanoo. He found himself surrounded by leaf ninja. Radicals and his father Drax.
A radical faction of the leaf lead by Drax, a group deicated to keep the clans of the leaf 'pure'. Drax gave his son a choice join them or die. His son was strong and would have made a perfect member to increase the factions power. Gorou refused and was attacked. Sixteen men and women attacks Gorou of different clans. Gorou slaughtered them all. Even his father attacked him.
Gorou ran his father through with a sword made by his Susanoo. He had thought he killed his father and released power. Gorou's father disappeared and Gorou was stabbed in the back to the heart by his father. His father's eyes one goes white and begins to shut as he sacrificed it with the Izanagi. Drax killed his son then stole his eyes for his own. Drax burned the corpse and put a few more wounds to hide his hand in it.
Drax also took the eyes from the rest of the Uchiha that were in Gorou's squad as well. His own son's was for future implantation the others were to sell the story someone wanted to steal the sharingan. Drax looks to grasp power in the leaf village. His ambition just uses the group to his own means. Drax's ultimate plan is to become hokage and leader of the Uchiha clan through power than being born by birthright. He isn't even part of the family that is in charge of the Uchiha he wants to supersede them and grasp the power by any means.

Personality cause of background- Farren is a rather quirky person, and acts like a trouble maker. His up bringing was under strict rules and Farren sort of turned into the rebellious kind of person because of it. Farren does work hard to impress his mother and step father but often is met with his step father's ridicule and negative criticism

Farren is keeps to himself most of the time, even though he is a friendly person and likes to talk its just because of how he grew up is majority the reason Farren acts as he does. Farren being born to two clans instead of being 'pure' and being born two one clan he is treated with distrust, and ridicule from most other clans not just the Uchiha and the Yamanaka clans. Even his own step father treats him with a lot of distrust and even hatred at times. Due to this Farren often acts out or tries to prove there is nothing wrong with him. Only two people treated him with kindness and respect. His mother and his late half-brother. He tries to live up to what his brother. Farren's ultimate goals is to become a ninja as strong as his older brother and find out what truly happened to him.

Farren will often pretend to know things when he doesn't. When it comes down to jutsu he should be able to do but can't. He will pretend how to use a jutsu rather then let people know he doesn't know how.

Ｊｕｔｓｕ ｎａｍｅ Fake Fire ball Jutsu
Ｒａｎｋ D or Lower
Ｒａｎｇｅ Mid-very short
ＤｅｓｃｒｉｐｔｉｏｎA little technique Farren uses to throw opponents off-guard. He takes his elixir into his mouth and either spits it at his opponent ate the hand signs or spits it into a open flame to make it actually using fire.

Ｊｕｔｓｕ ｎａｍｅ Mind Transfer Jutsu Fakeout
Ｒａｎｋ D or Lower
Ｒａｎｇｅ very short

ＤｅｓｃｒｉｐｔｉｏｎThis jutsu is based off of the mind transfer jutsu ability. Instead of actually using the jutsu he just acts like he uses it and acts as if he misses then falls down to his knees. Normally he will wait for his opponents to walk up to him or get closer then he attacks with a solid punch.

Ｊｕｔｓｕ ｎａｍｅ Fire Bullet/Chakra Bullet Jutsu
Ｒａｎｋ B
Ｒａｎｇｅ Mid to long
Ｄｅｓｃｒｉｐｔｉｏｎ Chakra bullet- Farren's own jutsu he puts both hands to gather in a form of a triangle. Farren then proceeds to channel all his chakra into his hands and to form a ball in the middle of his hands compressing as much chakra as possible. Into a small sphere then firing it out as a fast rate.

Fire bullet- Farren adds his nature to the attack to turn it into a fire chakra bullet.

The Chakra bullet takes five minutes to fully charge up and has a fifty percent chance at exploding on Farren before release.
The Fire bullet has a ninety percent chance of exploding on Farren, five percent chance of turning back into just a plain normal chakra bullet, and a five percent chance of actually working.

[Taka]

@Hillan You will always be Jaybird. ALWAYS!

So I'm in. Hillan can vouch for me.

So we can be genin or chunin?

[BladeSS4]

I made a bizarre hybrid ninja. Creating a character from a random character creator the filled out the character sheet.

[Masaki Haruna]

I am in for this!

EDIT: My mind changed. I am gonna seek this through and make an OC.

[Weird Tales]

I'm interested

[Taytay]

im interested

[McFazzer]

I'm here to show my interest :)

I've never done a Naruto RP, I was always cowed by the massive post count and I figured that the characters had all made their clique and such (making it awkward to try and break in to it).

I do have a question/query/concern though:

My big disappointment with the Naruto series as a whole was how the power creeped up in such a way that the tools were basically useless, making characters such as Tenten pointless as a result. So I guess my question is that if I want to make a character that goes down the weapons archetype of ninja, will they inevitably become useless?

[Masaki Haruna]

@McFazzer Not useless. The GMs we are having are people that I also have RPd with before except Buddha but I heard stuff about him from others so it's good. Hilian is badass.

[Asura]

Color me intrigued. Think I'll make a Kirigakure kiddo.

Question though; how do we handle unranked techniques on the wiki? Omit them entirely, or ask via PM?

[Dion]

@Asura We ask that you "guess" and use logic to come up with a possible rank for it. It shouldn't be too hard and we will correct it downwards/upwards if we disagree but it's never been a problem before.

[Dion]

@McFazzer No, they are quite strong actually! There is a severe limit on the # of jutsu one can use. Therefore you won't see the "I have 2000 jutsu at my disposal" we saw in the anime. Ultimately weapons are a decent choice.

[Dion]

Just as a heads up: as a result of requests, questions and concerns me and Hillan are discussing the possibility of making the RP about chunins rather than genins (or, otherwise, opening chunins up for application.)
