What the Hell posting rotation is going on now? lol
No problems, just doing some reconstruction while I can.
You're part of Team Sun now.
KittmanBagz and Masaki have both seemed to make a re-emergence, so I have placed them onto Team Sun, which finishes the teams as I'm going to continue with each Chuunin only having one genin. Teams should be finished. I would highly suggest/recommend Team Sun follow the example set by Team Moon and jump into collabing after the initial scene.
Let's consider the average person can walk 48-52 miles on a day. That's based on walking 12 hours at 4mph, which isn't absurd and allows for rest and breaks. Now, let's remember that these Shinobi travel at absurd speeds for absurd amounts of time, so I believe Shinobi should be able to travel roughly 15 mph without exhaustion, 'cause in the anime they just seem to run for fucking hours through tree canopies. That equates to---this time I may have overthought this.

The concept I'm trying to commune is simple. She can walk around all she wants with it, but let's say a Shinobi of equal skill level is getting exhausted, she'd probably be even more so, in terms of something as simple as running. Oh? Is that a mountain? Sucks to be you, Shira. Holy fuck, swampland. Don't sink, Shira. Why the fuck is it snowing? Sucks to be you, Shira.

Get it? Terrain and distance running is gonna suuuuuck for Shira.
Another thing about US soliders is they can become conditioned with their armor and weaponry in months. This compared to a ninja that has been training for years. Again. Conditioning. Conditioning, not random canon references, determines how a character uses their weapon.


Find me a conditioning exercise that allows one to carry a giant, dis-proportioned sword that physically could not even be swung, then we'll talk. Weight distribution alone changes the method behind this, if we want to start comparing the Narutoverse to real life. Actually, let's go just a little bit deeper. There's not a single real life reference anywhere regarding a man randomly carrying around a piece of metal weighing anywhere ranging between 25-75lb, and that's lowballing it. Who knows how heavy the Samehada was, who knows how heavy the Executioner's Blade was and thus far I don't see a specific weight on Shira's sword, so I just assume it's about 60% of the Executioner's Blade based on a single image reference.

My character doesn't need to be anything like Kisame or Suigetsu to know how to use their own weapon, whichwhich they grew up with nor should any of the other characters expected to either. Bringing up Kisame and other canon characters was absolutely pointless. No one was interested in why Suigetsu was exhausted using a large weapon. Did anyone say Suigetsu and Shira have the same constitution? Anyone mention they have the same level of training? Anyone bring up that they have been using large weapons the same period of time?


We're literally dwelling in a realm of complete impossibility. I present my logic with every case by comparing 'anchors' that we know of. Suigetsu, 16-17, apparent history and experience with swords, wields the most logical blade to use for comparison. The information I presented was not pointless. However, if you want, I will write you a novel every single time I post so that you can comprehend what I'm typing.
Executioner's Blade, Shira's Blade and Samehada are all in hugely different weight classes than what Omoi used.

"But saying Zabuza and Kisame could do it so you can't" isn't even an applicable use of my statement. With conditioning, carrying around 2-15lb is realistic. U.S. soldiers are conditioned to carry around 40lb. extra on their backs, in addition to their own 22lb gear, and that's generally standard, at least for the Marine Corp. My statement was to contrast those who could do it in the show to Shira. One was a Jounin-level Missing-Nin and member of the Seven Swordsman of the Mist while the other was an S-Rank ninja known as the No-tailed beast. Aside from them, no one else carried a 25-75lb blade (if not more, swords are heavy) with no exhaustion whatsoever. I feel like you should really read into what I say more than you do; it's a common occurrence that you don't take from my statements what I mean to commune.
Tuuj, the only characters to ever show exemption to fatigue to carrying a large weapon were Zabuza and Kisame, one of which could literally fuse with his sword. Suigetsu even grew exhausted from carrying the Executioner's Blade. Although at the moment I don't see a problem, Shira will have to show IC exhaustion from using the blade. She's also quite young - I know grown men that can't hold a Halberd correctly (funny story, but I digress). World of Naruto gets to bend those rules, but don't be too unrealistic. She will grow exhausted very quickly during combat and there is no way I'm going to allow her to be a swift sword master at this level. Her slashes will be crude, her style imbalanced and her follow-through uncontrolled. That sword literally has nearly ten times as much as a katana, assuming it weighs the standard 1.5-2lb. I know personally that 15lb weight vest alone can make menial exercise exhausting.
I have placed the following characters on indefinite standby:



This has affected Team Sun greatly, reducing the number of Genin in that squad to one, in addition to requiring that I contact Tatsua Aiisen. The difference being that the other four roleplayers showed no signs of activity for 72 hours prior to this action, whereas I can at least contact Tatsua.

Presently, team Earth, Star and Sea are set into Genin-Chuunin pairs and I intend for them to stay as such. I have warned that I would prune for inactivity before, and now I am. That said, there will be two genin spots open for Team Sun, and I will allow Krieg to perform a retcon to eliminate the introduction of any characters that are now on standby. I will also edit Shin's speech to reflect these changes. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Alright, I'm removing Masaki and her Uchiha from my squad. I'm going to be pruning the entire roleplay for inactivity, so all I need are some complaints to review. Jhino and Kino will continue on as if they simply can't find her. I'll deal with it later. Anyone inactive will be put on standby, and Imay make a slower-posting team for them, but it is unfair and frustrating that the entire RP be bogged down.
