The Road to Sagehood: A Naruto AU

@Alf: I think that'll fit well. The new generation should really desire change. A type like that would be perfect as the heir that the traditionalists will hate.
You can tie that celestial worship sect stuff also in. It could just be her own philosophy that guides her towards those within the clan that lean that way.
The plot requirements are probably just the following. The main branch had two untimely deaths that saw three clan heads in 10 or so years. The current one is the father to a genin aged child, maybe only child, but this child is the one in line to become the next clan head. Something that is supposed to be in the far future as the clan is still recovering from the succession irregularities. Clan heads are supposed to wisely rule for 30-50 years to preserve the long term plans for the clan and the village.

Jinwa holds the power in the clan and is among the most influential elders in the village. This is part of a traditional and more ruthless faction within the village politics. I imagine that initially he would just shun and distance himself from those within the clan that are breaking away from the traditions. Like his daughter Natsumi. Later on once they will start to find success, I could see him actively targeting them.

Showcase
Well rounded with a large repertoire acquired with his Sharingan and extensive training from experienced shinobi despite his age and rank. Has natural affinities for a multitude of things due to his bloodline, marking him as one of the prodigies of his generation. Fire and Earth Release came so natural to him that as a genin he could already use them in rapid succession to somewhat combine them. Mixing the two releases in with his taijutsu. (Firebender/Earthbender hybrid type fightingstyle)
His genetics give him extreme selfhealing abilities, his body's natural reaction to pain/injury is to increase chakra flow and activate the Senju trait that he has. Repairing injuries within moments and minimizing bloodloss and the like when suffering lethal injuries. Auto-first aid and self-healing which he can further enhance by focusing his chakra. Allows for his aggressive and direct combat style.

Genjutsu is a field that he studies intentfully, waiting for his eyes to further develop and allow for more techiques through the Sharingan. With it, for his rank, he's a talented genjutsu user who practices manipulating the illusion itself through yin release.

The Road to Sagehood: A Naruto AU

<Snipped quote by King Kindred>

Yeah, I think a discord might help, though I'll go ahead and send a DM to you for now regarding some concerns. Suppose though for myself and everyone else, some more information on the Hyuuga would be appreciated? That was where I was leaning, a Taijutsu-focused character from the main-branch of the Hyuuga clan.

@Alfhedil

The plot needs a main-branch heir among the Leaf genin. So your character could fit in that role because it was going to be a younger NPC otherwise.

The Hyuuga clan uses the seals and the branch system. There was a period that the current generation falls under where some branch members didn't and will not get a cursed seal. It was when a main branch member became clan head had wanted to go away from the cruel tradition. His rule was not long and his son is the current clan head. We hadn't made a character yet for this role so the dad of a main branch OC would be perfect.

The clan head is a puppet leader. The Hyuuga elders are in power, most of them branch members. Jinwa Hyuuga is the most notable one. Brother to a past clan head. He is the main force behind the Hyuuga's harsh traditions and is responsible for undoing most of the work that the past clan head had done.

Hiromi Senju

Name: Hiromi Senju
Background:Direct descendant of Hashiram and Madara. Became a key component in the designs of his grandfather Denjiro who has styled himself as Madara's inheritor. The circumstances that led to him acquiring the Yin half of the Kyuubi and one of Denjiro's prized Sharingan has cast a shadow on him. Does not outwardly manifest as an Uchiha as he feels he has no right.

Natural nature affinity: Fire+Earth has proficiency in both.
Main jutsu: Super Beast Imitation Drawing. Sharingan. Genjutsu. Kage Bunshin.
Fights with scripted plays. Using a combination of clones, ink jutsu volleys and his taijutsu abilities to overwhelm his opponents with sustained attack waves.
Bijuu control: The Kyuubi is hostile to him though he's able to communicate with him. Has no special abilities yet, only profiting off the chakra level bump any bijuu host gets.
Flaws/Weakpoints: His left eye is progressing slower due to the damage it accumulated over time in use and immaturity of his Sharingan. Puts increased chakra strain and mental strain when active, and can't disable it, requiring him to cover or close the eye when possible.
Lacks actual battle experience and team work abilities. Many of the techniques he could study or could acquire technically require more skill/experience/knowledge than what he has been able to acquire so far due to his age and inexperience.

Ninjutsu: 3
Taijutsu: 3
Genjutsu: 4
Intelligence: 5
Strength: 4
Speed: 3
Stamina: 5* (Kyuubi chakra reserves)
Hand Seals: 5
Total Ability: 5
Latent Potential: 5

Natsumi Hyuuga

Name: Natsumi Hyuuga
Backstory: Daughter to Jinwa, as such was always destined to receive the seal of the branch members. The internal strife of the clan was what gave her an opening that she took full advantage of. With her natural fire release affinity she was able to apply and acquire the available Fire Carp. Sacrificing the ability to learn any jutsu that wasn't fire release in nature was a small price for her freedom. Knowing that her father and the clan elders would no longer be able to place the seal on her.
Natural affinity: Fire. As the Fire Carp host, she naturally has boosted fire nature affinity and resistance. While she isn't immune to fire, she can withstand high temperatures naturally and as her resistance increases, the hotter she can make her flames.
Main Jutsu: Is currently relearning the Hyuuga clan jutsus to control her flames into precise bursts of heat that won't cause backlash on her own body.
Bijuu control: The carp manifests as a flopping carp that can't be communicated with.
Flaws/weakpoints: Lack of versatility and use of jutsus because of the fire release limitation. Because of it's inherent volatile nature her chakra control has lessened immensely. Needs to control her flames better, to prevent damaging herself or burning her teammates or starting a wildfire.
Simple things like the tree or waterwalking techniques are all problematic, as she has only fire natured chakra, it will burn/heat what she walks on when using those jutsus. Steam will come from the water she walks on and dry/dead trees are likely to catch fire. In particular due to this, her waterwalking ability is limited and below genin level.

Ninjutsu: 0* (Her chakra is pure fire nature and as such can't be used to do anything that isn't based on that release)
Taijutsu: 4.5
Genjutsu: 2
Intelligence: 3
Strength: 3
Speed: 4
Stamina: 4.5* (Bijuu host)
Hand Seals: 3
Total Ability: 1
Latent Potential: 4

Okiku Komorebi

Name: Okiku Komorebi
Background: ANBU candidate that hails from a clan whose lineage traces back to the Seventails. The clan uses spiders as weapons and tools. Being particularly known for their skill with manipulating the threads these spiders weave with their skill.
Nature release: Water, proficient.
Main jutsu: Makes use of her collection of spiders which she carries on her person. These spiders mainly use their silk to set up traps and do recon. Sensor type. Depending on the spider, it has a different jutsu.
Flaws/Weakpoints: Her style and technique work best with surprise and distance, needs to improve her taijutsu and close range fighting skills to prevent enemies from exploiting this hole in her game.
Works better as a supporting fighter and lacks any real finisher level abilities to take on opponents like a bijuu host or high level defensive abilities.

The Road to Sagehood: A Naruto AU

The stats come from the canon data book so I might not have the clearest answer to some of them. I'll try to update the list to explain the categories

@Birch: Total ability I assumed to be an overall ability. Higher grades are for more overall skilled genin, with the lower grades for those that are more specialized in one or two categories.
Latent potential: would be anything from 0 to 4.5. It indicates just how blessed people are genetically and their projected ceiling .The ones getting a 5 are the characters starting of at the sage potential level. I imagined there wouldn't be any 5* at the start.
Luck: More of a random stat, I approached it as a mix between good genes and typical good/bad luck. Now that I think about it, we might be better of just removing it.

The Road to Sagehood: A Naruto AU

I’m not far with my cs. Hiro’s is still only half finished. I’ll try to have him done today.

Though keeping in mind that we have to remake the teams. For the time being brief character synopses might help people from getting in the way of each other. Just a name and brief description on the character that tells who they are what they can do. I think me and King did something like that initially with stats added to it. I’ll try to dig up some examples.

Edit

Character description: 1 paragraph.

Nature release: 0-2 Most would know at least the one they have an affinity to.
Main jutsu: Most would just have one thing and several variations to it, or have more diversity but lacking any real specialition or big(ger) moves. Nobody should have a finisher like a Rasengan or Chidori.
Flaws/points of focus: The weakpoints of their game and so what they are trying to improve upon.

Index: 0-5. *indicate special circumstances.
0: Rock lee when it comes to taijutsu and genjutsu. No ability in this at all.
1: Lowest level of proficiency
2: Subpar
3: Average

Did you have plans for fossils because the region seems perfect for it?

Naruto AU Interest Check

I haven't done group RPs in years so I'm a little hesitant but I'm interested. I had some concepts for something in this vein and had been wanting to do a Naruto AU RP.

I would love to see more of this AU world you had imagined. The canon had a lot of stuff that could use a redesign, several of the bijuu come to mind. I'm curious though how a group RP handles all the dojutsus and bijuu, all that stuff.
