I, as GM, stand by what my co-gm, Redwing, says. I know that it may seem unfair not allowing knew characters, but from the start I wanted to keep the RP fairly small for now. 7 or 8 people, comprosing 2 teams of 1 jonin and 3 genin. having an extra person would be kind of weird and go against the usual flow represented in the show. Redwing as far as I know does very well at picking out flaws and even sees things that I don't see. So I trust Redwing's decisions while I'm not here. Show them the same respect as you would me. Now I want to address this. [quote=Xan the G] If my friend can't join, I'm not joining... he was the only reason I wanted to RP in this. (his sheet is right above this post)secondly, Chidori isn't a Sharingan only technique. Kakashi developed it in Kakashi Gaiden. Plus, I'm a lightning specialist so... it might seem too powerful, granted, but it's accessible to my character in long term.Moot point nonetheless as I will concede my space if the player above me can't get in. [/quote] The problem is that even though the Chidori isn't Sharingan only, in order to use it and variations it must be learned. Now the problem with it is explained in Kakashi Gaiden to an extent. Here's a quote from the Wiki. Merely the first paragraph of the Drawbacks. "This technique has a major drawback, however. The speed at which the attack must be done, combined with the fact that the user must run in a straight line, causes a tunnel vision-like effect for the user. This allows the enemy to easily counter the attack, making it a potentially lethal move for the user. Though this drawback would seem to make learning the technique fairly pointless, Sasuke and Kakashi are able to avoid the drawback because of their Sharingan, which takes in every detail, regardless of how fast the user is moving." So not having the Sharingan would make knowing the technique fairly pointless. Not being able to properly use the Chidori to it's full potential would hinder a person mastering it. And therefore make learning any of the variations, which also emphasize speed extremely difficult and pretty pointless. EDIT: [quote=Zarkun] I'm a Jonin and Demon's letting them be Kakashi strength. I'm sure I could get crazier if I set my mind to it XD [/quote] Also I should be more specific. I mean Kakashi up until likethe end of rescuing Gaara. So I suppose the Mangekyo would drain you considerably. Like if he could use it 2 or 3 times you can maybe use it 4 or 5 as the series has made it a point that those who have a kekkei genkai that they weren't born with use considerably more chakra than those who are born with it would use.
