[indent]To give you a short overview, it's important to represent where we are currently in the Narutoverse. After all the Narutoverse is filled with stories of old, so it'd be a good idea to represent that by giving a timeline to start with. Our RP takes place 200 years after the birth of Sarada Uchiha and Boruto Uzumaki. For the setting that means we'll be living in a somewhat more modern world (comparable to ours) but this being Naruto and thus, being highly inconsistent with tech canonically (there's been earpieces and mecha's but then we also have swords, and no guns), we have taken several liberties to maintain the feeling of Naruto that we all love so dearly. 

As such you have to imagine a mildly modern setting, where we now have things mixed like a low amount of trucks, cars and motorbikes, but also still have prominent carriages with horses, mules or what have you. This also means that new tech has made new social changes, and as such the shinobi are featured less prominently in shinobi villages, that are now turning into something more akin to.. shinobi cities? Either way, skyscrapers and economical centers now litter the horizon inside the village, although it's obviously not as bad as it seems - there's still some quiet places you can hang out, or live. The changing social scene has also led to a decrease in the number of shinobi, atleast in the smaller villages. The main forces are still in the five big villages and even there they have a lower wage than before - it's not so much possible anymore to get by on a genin-wage.

This RP will also feature a more slice-of-life approach, although that is debateable. We will ofcourse still do plenty of missions, but we like character interaction as much as the fights in Naruto, and as such we place a prominent focus on the character interactions. Don't worry, you can still beat up bad guys. Another thing that is important for us is [b]balance[/b] and we make sure to review each sheet adequately. If you want a powerful missing nin, it's probably best to look elsewhere. [i]But Partisan,[/i] you might say, [i]you have rules about [b]prodigies[/b] and how they're better than the rest! That's not [b]balanced![/b][/i] Ah, yes. You see, besides the balance, we also like [b]conflict[/b] not only with outside forces (missing nin, typical bad guys or organisations) but we also like [i]internal conflict[/i] where multiple characters don't like eachother. The prodigies are a tool to us to achieve this - most of them are, you'll find, not social at all and some even have some form of a god complex, or at the very least are a bit more arrogant. They're more or less tools to assure that we have some conflict between characters, atleast at the start.[/indent]

[center][i]“I am surprised that you picked a fight with Yamato-senpai after that. Yamato-senpai is quite capable, and I think he would beat both of us with ease.”[/i] - [b]Saburo Uchiha[/b]
[i]“That Yamato bastard won't beat me. I don't plan on losing to him, Kusaru, or anyone for that matter. Add that to your encyclopedia of facts.”[/i] - [b]Daiki Naito[/b][/center]

[list][*]No godmodding.
[*]No perfect characters (Mary Sue and Gary Stu).
[*]GM team has final say. Always.
[*]One-lining not acceptable. Two lining isn't either.
[*]Consistency is key. We understand posting a little less sometimes. There's limits, though.
[*]Beware the gore; yes, it's allowed but don't overdo it.
[*]As for sexual content, take it to PM's and show us a fade to black; make it implied. What you do privately isn't our concern. It's RPG's concern, however.
[*]RPG rules apply. Always. 
[*]Respect everyone. Please do not argue OOCly. Do what you need to if it is ICly.
[*]Changes may be made with or without notice. Probably with, because we are online 24/7. 
[*]Kekkei Genkai are to be made unique. If they are blatant copy paste or cliché we reserve the right to decline them. 
[*]Same applies to hiden.
[*]No tailed beasts for now. Why? Because you need to earn it ICly with our acceptance, not be gifted it. Don't ask, unless you believe it's detrimental to your character that's been around a while.
[*]Your character is a chunin, not Madara. No EMS, Rinnegan, whatever the hell you can think of. Keep it simple, but interesting.
[*]1 A Rank, 4 B Rank, 4 C Rank techniques for all Chuunin. No real limit on E-D, but don't overdo it. We're giving you freedom but that doesn't mean you need to use all E-D ranks in existence.
[*]Prodigies have the benefits of being 2-4x stronger than regular chuunin and having an additional A rank jutsu. The prodigies are meant to sow initial division between players, to enforce a degree of conflict between the players aside from the obvious plot driven conflicts. Don't ask for one, we will approach you.
[*]Be diverse and dynamic with creating your characters; don't be set in stone for what you want and be prepared to change your ideas as we go. This means; don't be an asshole if you don't get what you want. Either scrap the idea or change it to our liking.
[*]Be original, don't be a rip-off of the original cast and their kids. I know it's hard but I believe in you guys. You can be [i]related to[/i] but that's different than [i]I'm Madara's kid who somehow survived all those years.[/i]
[*]The GM team is full of idiots. We make mistakes. Deal with it, we're here for our own pleasure as much as yours.[/list]

[url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/80809-naruto-road-to-ninja-arc-2-5/ooc#post-2657681]Location list[/url] [i]- this is a list of (possible) locations in the RP. There are more obviously, but these are the ones we created to give players some freedom as to where to go with predefined locations. Want to go on a date with another character? Why not visit the Minamoru Restaurant, the [b]Mighty Naruto?[/b] Or maybe you want something classier, in which case the Don Maquia Opera and Theatre is probably the right way to go.[/i]

It shows that these chunin are still desperate for acknowledgement from higher up as they chase after the killers themselves.[/i]
[url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/80809-naruto-road-to-ninja-arc-2-5/ic?page=5#post-2702441]Arc 1: Ending[/url] [i]- in this chapter the arc is ended. This is the end post, marking the start of the next arc.[/i]

[url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/80809-naruto-road-to-ninja-arc-2-5/ic?page=16#post-2815278]Arc 2: Meeting Kusaru, ending[/url] [i]- in this chapter, the crew meets Kusaru and her henchman and companion, Gian. The two don't seem hostile but have a kill order on their head, so Yamato and Daiki attack. The rest of the crew either joins or stops them, leading to a lack of bloodshed. Kusaru seems satisfied and leaves, after a show of good will.[/i]
