[h3]The Village Hidden at the End[/h3]
With [i]Konoha[/i] to the south, the Hidden Sound to the east and the Hidden Waterfall to the west we have the small Hidden Village of the End, [i]Gobigakure[/i]. What's that? Can't find it on a map? Don't know the name of the country? Well, that's part of the problem... 
The Village Hidden by the End is so small and insignificant that most other ninja villages doesn't recognize it as one. If it was on a map before, someone has erased it by now. In the entire history of the village it hasn't produced a single ninja worth mentioning. The village sits on the northern cliffs of its country, surrounded by huge rocks that shelters the village from the outside world. The village can only be clearly seen from the sea to the north, called the endless sea by locals. Thus its name, the Village Hidden by the End. 

The village is not governed by a [i]kage[/i], like the other hidden villages, neither does it house its own ANBU-force. It started out as an outpost for the Hidden Cloud, and has always relied on its main village for leadership and protection.
The village's only [i]jounin[/i], Hyuuga Hiroshi, acts as leader and is in charge of every ninja in the village. Hiroshi used to be a ninja from [i]Konoha[/i], but was thrown out after a family dispute went sour. He traveled around the world and found [i]Gobigakure[/i] by accident and was elevated to the rank of leader almost over night. He has his work cut out for him. The village is very poor and lacks many of the commodities that people in the rest of the world take for granted. Missions are few and far between, most people take their business to the bigger villages. 
Not a single noble ninja family reside in the village, but a few of the older families have developed [i]hijutsu[/i]. Bloodline limits are extremely rare, almost unheard of.

[h3]Short history[/h3]
Shortly after the Village Hidden in the Clouds had formed the ninjas they started to look to the west, toward the Village Hidden in Stone. They feared an attack, and established an outpost on a conveniently placed mass of land. A nearby village provided entertainment for the troops and before long the first illegitimate child was born. It was followed by many others. The children with a talent for [i]ninjutsu[/i] were trained by the [i]Kumo[/i] ninjas that were stationed there, and during the first ninja war they helped keep their small patch of land safe. 
After the war the outpost was scrapped, but the village remained popular in the eyes of [i]Kumo[/i] ninjas and with time ninjas from other villages as well. The climate and primitive lifestyle made the village a popular site for [i]jounin[/i] to train their [i]genin[/i]. And while they were there more than a few decided to visit the popular burlesque houses, both male and female “entertainers” were available to suit every taste. 
When the second ninja war came the village was left to its own devices, and took several hard hits. Much of the original village was destroyed, but a few talented [i]doton[/i]-users from [i]Kumo[/i] created a huge barricade around the village to shield it from harm. That barricade still stands and is the reason why the village is still hidden. 
After the second war people stopped caring about the small village. Its ninjas were nothing in comparison to the kind of talent that arose in the rest of the world and its geographical position was too out of the way for leisurely visits. Because of its remote position huge battles have been fought just outside the barricade between [i]Iwa[/i], [i]Kumo[/i] and [i]Konoha[/i]. Neither have taken the time to secure it first. The village has tried to reestablish communications with Kumo, but have been rejected every time.

[h3]Characters[/h3]

Welcome to the Village Hidden by the End, [i]Gobigakure no Sato[/i]. You are one of the village's proud ninjas, a [i]chuunin[/i]. You are one of the most powerful people in the village, even though it has been a while since you got to show it. Being a powerful ninja in [i]Gobi[/i], though, is still below average in the world outside. You are in need of some action and desperate for a proper mission to further your skills.

Maybe you've lived here all of your life and have never seen the fast-paced world outside of the mountain walls; maybe you moved here to get away. Perhaps your parents left you here to keep you safe or maybe you were sold as a slave. No matter how it came to be, you are now a citizen of [i]Gobigakure no Sato[/i].

[h3]Players[/h3]
What we want here is a mainly character focused roleplay with a small handful of dedicated players. Although our characters do start out fairly useless, we want some real progress in their power levels. Like in the real show.
This is by no means a PvP roleplay and although there will be action, we want the main focus to be on character development and forming bonds and all that stuff that makes up a life. Although enemies will be introduced and dangers will be faced, the first portion of the game is all about getting the mood of the village right and getting a feel of our, and each others', characters.
