Playerbase gets free roam on the land, well executed for a short amount of time, however we like just as long as it is within time and effort. The facilitators does not have to be the GM team, it starts with you and as long as it makes sense. SENSE! It is a fact that Naruto RPs do better with such style because of the wide to life world building it offers. The best way to run this RP as a whole is the eccentric events that transpire in the Feudal population. The End of Feudalism and The Rise of Prefectures. Konohagakure, the Hidden Village of the Leaves of the Fire Country now known as City of the Leaves is not immune to the rapid progression of Heiwa Gentrification Era's industrialization, a time where the demand of you and me, Ninja are rapidly declining because we have found other ways to use Chakra in our daily livelihood. As you and me are passionate of becoming Shinobi in a decaying world regardless of nation and race whatever the reason we press on towards the goal. This is our coming of age, and how we deal with a decaying society, my friend. How we Ninja had become agent of the shadows, we protect the world within the shadows, we are the light in the dark and in a way that is revolutionary. Welcome to Kakumei! I hope we find our revolution.

If its direct predecessors are considered, it is one of the oldest shinobi villages in the known world and it continues to be one of the largest to this day despite the struggles it has endured throughout history. Konohagakure has an erratic history and a storied reputation, one that has led the founding clans to strengthen their bonds and techniques as they work towards ensuring the safety and survival of the village no matter what the consequences end up being. Seigirama, experiencing the waning days of a corrupt emperor, took matters into his own hands and with his rivals brought an end to the emperor's corruption thus ending the Konran Period and leading to the Fukkatsu Period. New threats and challenges would come in time, but over the course of two centuries the people of Konoha would persevere. In the minds of the ninja of the leaf, it was a better world than the one they had been forced to endure under the Han Dynasty. The Fukkatsu Period would define an era of independent shinobi working alongside honor-bound daimyo for the greater good of the realm. Or at least it did at first. Eventually threats like the Unseki Chigiri Alliance would remind the clans of Konohagakure that the world they lived in was not a kind one. Eventually several incarnations of a “great ninja war” surfaced and Konohagakure adapted to survive. Smaller villages were not so lucky and ultimately at the end of every conflict the shinobi nations found themselves losing more than they gained. It wouldn’t be until the dawn of industrialization and growing technology until the world realized the ninja way of life was slowly but surely becoming obsolete. Many declared it the end of the Fukkatsu Period. For some this was a good thing, but as this change occurred so did new, more modern threats. The rise of corporations, the yakuza, and peasant revolutions. So began the Heiwa Gentrification Period. This new period has spawned iconic shinobi who have led their village with tenacity and vision – for better or for worse. The newly elected Jūnidaime Hokage, Uchiha Satoru leads Konohashi(City of Leaves) following a brutal civil war against his predecessor, Yamanaka Inotora. But can he live up to the legends of the past as growing modernization threatens his city’s very way of life? Can he deal with the plans of the secretive Haibara, the enterprising Kaminarimon Corporation, and the world that is changing around him? It's up to the new generation to find out.

I am here to tell you that the world has believed that Shinobi no longer exists and we are mainly a tale to tell in today's society, a mystery. Some of our villages grew to be industrialized cities while some remained as homes to the Ninja and the title of Kage has little to no meaning. Yes you heard it. That includes the City of Leaves formerly known as Konohagakure which has also lost its meaning as it's overran by industrialization since the time of the Seventh Hokage. The Hokage remains superior but his powers became limited due to Heiwa Gentrification's Constitutional Monarchy Government. The Prime Minister gets to rule and the government of Leaf City is divided into three branches: the Legislative branch, the Executive branch, and the Judicial branch. Hence, the demand for Ninja is low. All of us are Chunin ranked that are given great power and great responsibilities to do. We take a wide variety of missions within the city, overseas and collaboration with Samurai. Not to mention, there is no long a Five Great Shinobi Nations for they are now united under one banner, one country, one nation called Homura. So the previous five separate headbands are obsolete. [hider=Homura Symbol][img]https://static.comicvine.com/uploads/scale_small/4/47703/3131450-untitled-112.jpg[/img][/hider] [img]https://fontmeme.com/permalink/180727/56106bc381d667aa36786fe404bfd1ca.png[/img] [hider=Society Castes] [h3]Emperor[/h3] The Warlord/Governor or for a better word, Daimyo/Feudalism is abolished. No longer separate nations but prefectures under an Emperor, the five great Shinobi Nations became UNIFIED as one country called Homura. Enishi Hideki aka The Demonic Conqueror of the 8th Heaven was a Samurai Warlord who united the Shinobi World. He was also known as The Tetsu no Ōutsuke/The Big Fool of Iron. Hideki united the world under one banner after the Second World War which took place during the 6th Hokage's time. The Emperor is a Benevolent Ruler that oversees his nation. [h3]Samurai[/h3] The Samurai are still alive and well and unlike Shinobi, they guard the Emperor with their life. They sometimes pay the Kage to recruit Ninja. [h3]Kage[/h3] They may be Ninja but their power is now grandiose with some win some, lose some allowing them to lead the city as Mayor. [h3]Prime Minister[/h3] A prime minister is the head of a cabinet and the leader of the ministers in the executive branch of government. They help their Kage as HEAD OF THE STATE. [h3]Aristrocrats[/h3] Noble people who have money to fund and create businesses. [h3]Commoners[/h3] People of everyday life. [h3]Ninja[/h3] You and me. We are killing machines for hire/bodyguard for hire. [/hider] [hider=Modernized]Use your imagination and see. Despite being one country, the differences are still evident; we still get to have the traditional clothes of the former. The technology we have are thanks to Chakra Science; we have like Chakra Induced: Airships, Boats, Horse Carriages, Trains, Calculators, The First Phone and name it all for a Steampunk genre.[/hider] [hider=Power Levels]The Otsutsuki are not aliens anymore. They are human, period. Kishimoto is known to climax at big ideas which could have been used for a different manga, in this RP we are Ninja and you know what that means, our fighting form will be grounded and there will never be big explosions and Super Saiyan Gods.[/hider] [hider=The Nine Deities]To cut every application of Tailed Beasts Hosts. They are finely tuned to this RP as Youkai Gods of Japanese Mythology which means they are Chakra Gods that can assume human form and do whatever the crap they want.[/hider] [hider=The Uzumaki]No longer they have relations with the Senju but they are now descendants of the Nine Tailed Fox in this RP. Their red hair is the result of Kurama the Nine Tailed Fox Goddess of Fertility and Mischief ancestry, yes they are descendants of Kurama and have demonic blood. When an Uzumaki is triggered and angered, their eyes turn red with slit irises, canine fangs, and claws appear! The aura around them is enough to make one run for their lives! Anything else about the Uzumaki remains the same, as a homage to India's Sentinel Island, The Whirlpool Village is isolated and the Uzumaki has cut ties to the world except for a few war refugees.[/hider] [hider=The Uchiha and the Sharingan]The Uchihas petty feud with the Senjus ended during the 1st Hokage era so we can prevent all their homoerotic bitter rivalry. Considering my take on the Uchiha in the RP, they are what they are supposed to be, Jerk with a Heart of Gold Policemen/Politician Clan. For the sake of power balance. The Mangekyou Sharingan does not exist in this universe continuum. As per Sasuke Shinden Novel; The Base Sharingan can now copy Elemental Kekkei Genkai just as long as the Uchiha have the requirements to perform it. E.g You need water and wind to make ice but it would be weaker. B-BUT INDRA, YOU JUST BUFFED THE SHARINGAN. YOU'RE NOT MAKING IT WEAKER! Hey hey, win some, lose some. My friends. I will say this once. Copying elements is hard. An Uchiha would only be at their best when they are copying the elements they have but not the ones they don't. Likewise if an Uchiha excels at Taijutsu/Kenjutsu, they would do better at what they specialize at. Hence the nerf.[/hider] [hider=Ninja are Actually Ninja]Just as how Fate Series work for Magus. The Ninja here are totally covert and are more on for hire jobs like espionage and killing etc. Their purpose is to protect the world from the shadows with pragmatic methods like foul play and so on and NOT KISHIMOTO'S Cinnamon Rolls.[/hider] [hider=Samurai are Relevant]Despite the peaceful era, THEY ARE LIKE MEDIEVAL KNIGHTS!!!! Anyway. The Samurai purpose is to guard their Emperor and set up territories with the land they are given. They have a rocky relationship with Ninja and mostly do not get along. The Samurai are given Ninjutsu Resistant Armors from the Age of Gods which are made by the Nine Deity. They can resist/overcome Ninjutsu of B rank and below, for the most part elemental Ninjutsu and Fuinjutsu because shadow clones are physical!![/hider] [hider=Occupations Disguises Ninja] The Ninja Society is close to being DEAD. Ever wonder how they will blend in the modern world? Simple. Uchihas are Policemen, Senju are bankers, Hatakes are farmers, Hyugas are Doctors etc. ONLY THE HOKAGE AND THE PRIME MINISTER AND THE GOVERNMENT KNOWS ABOUT THE EXISTENCE OF NINJA.[/hider] Other adjustments would be added soon. [img]https://fontmeme.com/permalink/180727/c8092fd89cafde1673d9c00544195ba6.png[/img] [hider=DA RULES]1. The GM Team has the final say on anything related to this RP. 2. Be adults. Do not be kids. 3. Assuming you have conflict of posting, I am telling you; Don't worry. That is because I believe everyone experienced in this field of RP already know how posting works. IT TAKES TIME. DON'T RUSH. 4. Death is Real and so as Karma. We are Shinobi after all, so try to stay alive and don't kill each other without my permission. 5. Don't go around initiating fights ICly. This ain't Shounen. THIS IS SEINEN. I want development and results not battles for the sake of fighting. 6. Body Flicker is restricted to the usage of three. They will be your lifelines to avoid death for the entire RP. Use them wisely. 7. If it's a Birthday/Special Event/Family matters, I am gonna shut down the RP temporarily for you to enjoy. Hiatuses here are real. 8. Masashi Kishimoto is a creative individual who has throughout the publication of Naruto created an extensive list of jutsu of varying levels of power that in a RP could be frankly bullshit. But unlike other Naruto RP’s I will be clear and say sometimes bullshit is okay— if it’s approvable bullshit with a merit to the story progression or character depth. A genin with abilities that can rival a Kage or Sage? Not at all likely. But given the nuances of prodigies, fools, and kunoichi there is a lot of room for margin of suspension of belief. Even in the canon’s earliest (and most sane) moments, we had characters straight out of the academy who had skills/affinities/talents their teammates didn’t. For example — Sasuke had a variety of techniques that were beyond “Academy Techniques” as he was not only talented but from a prominent clan with various affinities. Sakura had chakra control down so well she could walk up trees whereas her comrades couldn’t. Naruto utilized creative jutsu like his perverse twisting of the transformation technique. If we keep this in mind during character creation we can create clever and dynamic characters that make sense but even more than that are fun to interact with because everyone has their own niche. How does this apply to “approvable bullshit”? That’s a large question—but use your imagination in the character creation process, talk to me and your peers, and see what works and what doesn’t. Hell, if you’re a player I know really well that might not even be necessary. Academy Students should have all academy techniques (or presumption knowledge of them) listed in their E Rank hider. Beyond that they should have 2-3 D Rank abilities, and 1-2 C Rank abilities. If you have a good argument for one more then make it in PM or notation; elsewise this is fairly concrete. Presuming I accept chunin (and jonin) the scale would increase. Non-canon (aka Custom Jutsu) should be written in with rough description of a fundamental definition, weakness, and general mechanic. I just quoted Inkarnate. Anyhow...Chunin should have 1 A Rank Technique, 2 B Rank, 3 C rank and the rest are basics.[/hider][/center] [hider=CS] [code]-Faceclaim goes here. Anime preferred.
