I do find the lost of Durn and his character saddening. I was quite the fan of the concept. He did a great job with history, personality and integration to the setting. I believe the note that he would not be adequately using Magnet release into a Chuunin/Level did push him to close.

For that, I will apologize to you: my roleplayers. He was a good roleplayer with a good character that decisions I made drove off. His loss is a definite detriment to the quality of this roleplay.

I come back from work to see roughly thirty posts of you kids just insulting each other. Stop that shit. I don't give a fuck about who started, who is right, who is the better person. Fucking stop it. Let me lay down some ground rules:

I am the only one with authority here. I make decisions.

I am the only one who will make snide or snarky remarks.

I am he who welcomes and he who turns away.

I am the only one who will have an ego trip or use a condescending tone.

If anyone here thus far dislikes that, you may leave. If anyone here believes I am being unfair, I don't care. If anyone thinks I'm abusing rules, fucking realize that they're my rules to abuse. And, last, but certainly not least, shut the fuck up. I don't want to have to read through fucktons of arbitrary bullshit just to get to the pertinent information and I swear to God I will fucking auto-kick the first mother fucker to blame another for it.

It ceases. Now.

I will have to go to work. By tomorrow, I will have a final decision on the Nara, but the outlook is positive. Mostly just need to confirm history.

LillyDove, regarding your efforts: I don't think you can achieve the effect you're looking for. If you want to use a traitorous Inuzuka, the most he could do is just sell out where the Inuzuka keep their ninken kennels or set them up for an ambush from some troops of Sai's.

Lastly, I need the IC to pick up. There is no reason it should be so slow. To those who have been approved but haven't even posted, Sunday night will mark your removal from the RP if you cannot maintain activity.

Aside from that, I want one post per 2 days at LEAST. Ideally, I want 2-3 posts per character per day, if not more. This slow posting rate is frustrating me significantly. If there are valid, temporary reasons for it, PM me.

The first observation Kino made as he saw Jhino react was that he reacted defensively to his name simply being called out. It made him wonder if all shinobi seasoned by war would react like this. He recalled that the instructors in his classes often only knew the basics themselves, so thought that these shinobi would be an entirely different breed. It was quite a bit to consider and made him wonder how he should address people in the future. Afterwards, Jhino made a note to quickly reply to him, stating he had no idea he was on a team. Albeit, Jihno quickly affirmed that he was using both of their papers. The thought that he hadn't even fully read the letter wasn't precisely encouraging, but Kino kept in mind that Jhino most likely didn't know that the purpose of this meeting was to assign them their teams.

"You waste time atop this ivory tower, young Hokuzki. Below is an Uchiha without a sharingan and a Genin with a unique power; they are your team, and you are Team Moon," said a voice atop the tower beside of Agini. It was none other than his prompter, Shin Uzumaki. In his voice, there was a layer of domination. Intimidation. It was as if raw chakra escaped his mouth as words flowed freely from it. Although it was unlikely Agini would know who it was, the fact that his voice could send shrills down the spines of even Jounin and that he could not be sensed by the Hozuki was easily enough to put most shinobi on guard. "I will say this once to you before I say it to all of you. Your team is made not to teach the Genin, but to teach you two Chuunin. You must learn to co-operate and toss aside your pride. That Genin is one of the most promising in the village, and he has no Kekkei Genkai while both you and the Uchiha have powerful Hiden and the potential for one. If you let that Genin die, I will personally hunt you down and kill both of you. The Genin himself is much like you two as well, so you will break him of it as you break yourselves of it. No shinobi wins a war alone. I know. I watched Sai die trying."

Kino could only chuckle upon hearing what Jhino told him. Agini was in plain site atop the roof; Kino had seem him as he entered the pavilion. He had surmised that Jihno must have been at the pavilion for a decent amount of time for him to not have noticed Agini. Kino quickly retorted, "Agini Hozuki, our third team member, is sleeping on the roof. I rarely get in the way. Literally. I fight from a distance and shoot with a bow. Most of the time, it is others who get in my way." Kino then grinned before he jerked his neck to the side, letting it pop a little. He then added, "No one has died from one of my arrows yet... but I also haven't been in combat yet, either."

I don't believe Kage Yochi is just going to fly as a Passive Hiden. Make it a dojutsu or just an activated one, but it will need to drain chakra. As this progresses, I may allow its activation to have such a little cost that its negligible, but for now, it needs at least a minor drawback. I will, however, grant you that once its activated, it won't split her concentration.

Shadow Sewing was the parent jutsu of Shadow Gathering.

Gr, wrong place.

So, the IC has halted. Presently, Champion still needs his character to reply to mine. I also need posts from Myth and Seiga before I can introduce Shin. I have no clue what is taking so long, but this will not be the post speed of the roleplay. I will omit the stragglers.

Durn said I am fine developing the techniques later. Also, the Weapon Reversal was supposed to be a spatial manipulation technique, thus transporting a weapon in hand. Can do with out.

I had actually reasoned that. However, Time-Space manipulation requires anchors. No one in the canon, for good reason, magically makes shit puff to their hand. Kunai require that special tag to teleport to and other jutsu require a secondary dimension, e.g. the Sharingan, or a seal that is their static reference point. Like I said, the jutsu itself was fine with me, but I don't believe it is effective in terms of actual jutsu mechanics,

He is approved, albeit I do suggest what I mentioned in the PM.

I look at this character, and want to tell you something that I told Tuuj:

You have designed this character as a Gamist. I can see elements all throughout your CS. This roleplay will focus on Narrative. By placing characteristics that are essentially seeds to develop later, you imply that there is some sort of plan or desired result. It's a mentality, and I don't believe it's a healthy or beneficial one to this setting. Magnet Release is also an Advanced Nature technique, normally meaning it requires the use of either two elements or specialized training to use it. Lastly, the Art of Weapon Reversal Technique is actually fine in terms of balancing, but I don't think its mechanics make any sense in terms of how chakra and jutsu work. There is no functions that would displace an enemy weapon into the users hand.

Overall, I don't believe I'm going to allow a genin with Magnet Release nor the Art of Weapon Reversal.

I will note that the detail and depth you went into are quite nice. I find the sheer amount of placement into my setting highly admirable and would use it as an example to every single person around.

My suggestion is to start him out with an Elemental Release and allow him to develop into Magnet Release over time, but as for just beginning, I find it far too advanced.
