You know... I usually bitch at people for what I'm about to do. But I really feel the need to say something.I like Naruto RPs, and was going to drop one of my characters in for Sunagakure. But seeing all the characters that have been submitted... much less APPROVED... has severely dulled my interest. I mean come on, people. Genin in this RP that have multiple elements, some have A-Rank jutsu, others have lower rank jutsu, but more than 5 of them? I can understand wanting to have a character that can contribute in a fight, but that's unrealistic for a trainee ninja who recently graduated.Sasuke could only do Fireball, and Kakashi (a hella elite Jounin with Mangekyo Sharingan) was dumbfounded. Neji, a second-year Genin, could do 64-palms, Rotation, and I think like one other thing. They were seen as geniuses far ahead of others their age. Again, I get stretching that a bit for an RP. But some of the things that have slipped by here make me wonder what the hell is going on. If people want to have a Naruto character who they can make super-badasses that have multiple B-Rank and A-Rank Jutsu... make Jounin. But Genin should really be limited to E-Rank Academy Techniques, D-Rank Jutsu, and maybe a single C-Rank to show they really worked at one specific technique. But having multiple C-Rank or higher things is just... illogical.If anyone wants to comment, feel free. I may check back here from time to time and see if things have gotten more realistic. If that happens, I may be down for submitting a character.
I agree with you entirely man people lose focus on what NRP realistically should be like. I remember the rules were 3 C ranked and 1 B ranked Jutsu for Genin and the B-rank was your ace in the hole, never any other option technique that you nearly shit yourself using.
But I'm still gonna RP here cause hell why not and if their overpowered characters ruin the fun of actually working to evolve a character then that's on them I'll still try to have fun.
