I am right about to leave for college. Upon my return, I will make efforts to respond adequately to everyone. Pertinent notes: -LillyDove will be returning after a set amount of time. - The Hatake line never existed in this roleplay. Kakashi and Sakumo were never born. This does not mean you can't be a Hatake. It means that the Raikari never existed. I would greatly prefer you to create your own new, unique jutsu to fulfill its role until I find a way for it to be re-entered into the roleplay. - I'm not letting a Byakugan user that also uses Gentle Fist have nature release as a Genin. Genin in general should not have Nature Release yet; it is advanced chakra control. The Hyuuga dedicate their time to learning to use their Byakugan and the Gentle Fist fighting style. - This applies to everyone: Keep in mind what Neji and Sasuke could do. They were prodigies. Your character should not be near theirs from the first arc. @Beta: Presently, I believe I need one Jounin. I would prefer that Marrow start with one character, and it be a genin for now. This is not a shot at Marrow; this is simply me attempting to keep the very beginning of the roleplay evened out. Multiple characters is fine for when the IC is stable, but for now I just want to get things going. If you would like to create a Jounin meant to lead the next set of genin coming in, which would be Marrow, Lilly and whomever else, that would be fantastic. I just need to keep the jounin-genin ratio even.
