Gobigakure no Sato

The Village Hidden at the End

With Konoha 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, Gobigakure. 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 kage, 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 jounin, Hyuuga Hiroshi, acts as leader and is in charge of every ninja in the village. Hiroshi used to be a ninja from Konoha, but was thrown out after a family dispute went sour. He traveled around the world and found Gobigakure 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 hijutsu. Bloodline limits are extremely rare, almost unheard of.

Short history

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 ninjutsu were trained by the Kumo 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 Kumo ninjas and with time ninjas from other villages as well. The climate and primitive lifestyle made the village a popular site for jounin to train their genin. 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 doton-users from Kumo 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 Iwa, Kumo and Konoha. Neither have taken the time to secure it first. The village has tried to reestablish communications with Kumo, but have been rejected every time.




Enter the Game

Characters


Welcome to the Village Hidden by the End, Gobigakure no Sato. You are one of the village's proud ninjas, a chuunin. 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 Gobi, 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 Gobigakure no Sato.

Players

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. Characters that have moved to Gobi and did not grow up there, are allowed to be stronger power-wise, but we do expect characters to be flawed somehow, so they have the possibilities of growth. They still would have no missions to take in Gobi and likely need to find other ways to earn their money.
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.




Setting

The story takes place seven years after The Second Shinobi War and just a year before The Third Shinobi War. That makes it about fifteen years before the start of the series.

Ruling Kage:
Sandaime/Third Hokage – Sarutobi Hiruzen
Sandaime/Third Kazekage – Not named
Yondaime/Fourth Mizukage – Yagura
Sandaime/Third Raikage - “Ei”/”A”
Sandaime/Third Tsuchikage - Oonoki





More might be added here.

Will canon characters be making appearances? I'd assume so, what with the Kage listings, but I figured I'd get confirmation.

Something something accept.

Not really, no, as long as you have a good explanation for them being there. Like, if you play an Uchiha, how did that Uchiha end up in Gobi and why. Simple like that.

At this point, a lot of the annihilated clans haven't been brutally murdered yet, clans like the Uchiha and Yuki are still thriving.

Please mind that the OP states that bloodline limits are extremely rare in Gobi. I'm not telling you that you can't have it, but that it will probably affect the character and how the rest of the village interact with it.

Now you have to make a ninja prostitute. Double points if it's a trap.

Kokochiyoi ie/House of Pleasure (The brothel he works for)


Now, this is definitely just me being Mad, but I get these stomach cramps when I see people using obvious Google Translate names for things. It's not at all your fault; not everyone has so damn much time on their hands that they take the time to learn a whole new language just because of geekiness.

Anyways, the more correct way of saying "House of Pleasure" would be "Kataku no Kanki" in the situation. It more literally translates into "The place where you can find pleasure".

Height:
5' 11" (180.34cm)

Weight:
152lbs (68.946kg)


You don't have to add the exact height and weight; just write 180 cm and 69 kg. With that said, he is very light, especially for someone who is supposed to have muscle, even if it is the lean kind. I'd bump his weight up to 75 kg for realism. Very minor thing, though.

(Let's just say he's...gifted in more than his ample rear)


I think the word you're looking for is well-endowed

.:EDIT:.
He really ain't that far from being a trap >.>

Yup, definitely used Google Translate. I don't know nearly as much Japanese as I would like. Though what I don't know in the language I make up for in my knowledge of the culture. When I'm back at a computer, I'll be sure to change that. As well as the weight for more realism.

I need to sleep soon since I have work tomorrow, but I am interested in this and would like to reserve a slot for a character if possible. Maybe some kind of Byakugan user like that one mist guy (forget his name right now)? (I.e. not necessarily a Hyuga character.) I'm just brainstorming right now, so let me know if that would be OP or not. I might even go with something else entirely.

Natsu is done if you want to take another look at him. I couldn't find a good translation for the name of his custom jutsu, so if you happen to know one, please let me know.

News #1:
I updated the OP slightly to include that outsiders (not born in Gobi) are allowed to not be useless as ninja.


News #2:
I updated my character's sheet to include the war, because I completely forgot about that. I encourage you all to do the same. I also added how she came upon the village, since it is not a village you just randomly stumble across.

We have room, still, so feel free to make a character.
The dude's name is Ao, if you mean the one who stuffed a Byakugan into his own skull.
Well, I don't know if it'd be OP. That's depend on the rest of the character, 'cause if all he can is is have the Byakugan, then he'd be pretty useless. I would advice against making a character with the Byakugan, though, Hyuuga or not.
