Naruto: The Rookie Nine

I figured I should put something up to show that I'm around and absorb some peer comments. Obviously it's still a heavy work in progress and what I did put down is a bit bare-bones by my standards, but hey.

History: Shit man, they like, take care of deer, for some reason? Also Shikamaru's dad is this really important guy that teamed up with an Akimichi and a Yamanaka in his childhood and got called the Ino-Shika-Cho trio (Assuming that isn't as historical a thing in this due to obvious reasons.) (See character history in regards to when I'll actually write something serious here.)

CHARACTER DIRECTION (3-5 Paragraphs)
The main direction I have for making Shikamaru different isn't so much as a drastic shift in personality as it is changing where he ends up once the Rookie Nine start to find their respective roles in the ninja world.

One thing I'd personally like to avoid doing is elevating supporting characters to a sort of main cast role, if that makes any sense at all. Granted, more screen-time is always good. The main idea I have is Shikamaru ending up as an ANBU (or heaven forbid, Root) agent, whhere his prodigial intellect can be utilized to its full extent while also giving him important plot stuff to do without making him heavily involved with the conflicts of the main characters; think as if he'd be gathering intelligence on the Akatsuki or some-such that ends up helping Naruto or some-such not get killed. Dunno', it honestly depends on how the RP goes.

I think it should come as no surprise that his ANBU mask/code-name would be Deer. Because I'm hilarious and understand naming conventions.

I might be able to convince a friend or two, but that's a big "maybe" at that. I'm excited for this, though.

SoleAccord said
I'd prefer this be a small group, as does Piercing Light, so if you can reach out to someone about playing who's left that would be cool.

Sup? I'm aforementioned friend. I think. Maybe. I might throw together a Kiba or Shikamaru later on today if I can find the time and motivation. Since all the good characters are taken.

Though it seems like you guys were planning on rolling pretty quickly, and I don't want to hold anything up.

All-Star Marvel: Audax Mundus Novus

Most of the NPCs are big maybes considering their prevalent place in others' histories. Also note that I'm only posting such a skeleton of a sheet due to the PM system really not liking me for some reason right now. Also note that Sloth has a very, very, very limited knowledge of the Marvel universe (Spider-Man and rogues are really about it.), and as such, he apologizes if he fucks absolutely everything up.

Footage of Shang-Chi handling some New York thugs.

Player Name: Sloth

Character: Shang-Chi, Master of Kung-Fu and Bruce Lee's reanimated corpse

Moral Alignment: Hero

Affiliation: Former Operative of The Hand, Monk of the K'un-L'un Temple

Origin:

Powers and Abilities:

Master Martial Artist - Born into The Hand, Shang-Chi has been trained practically since birth to become a master of hand-to-hand combat, and has a number of armed and unarmed styles in his repertoire, ranging from Wushu to Aikido, Jiu-Jitsu, Karate, Capoeira, Muay Thai, Taekwondo, and Judo. While he is certainly seen more commonly using nothing but his own fists, Shang is more than capable of using a variety of weapons, from a simple Bo staff to nunchaku and tonfa.

Chi Manipulation - He does low level Iron Fist punches and shit. (To be expanded later)

Medical Expertise -

He's also a beast on egg-rolls and fishing.

Sample Story Arcs:
The City of Opportunity - Soon after opening, Izo's Restaurant is visited by rather unpleasant guests who offer the man's business a protection plan. Rather than let the men continue with their shakedown or letting Izo deal with them himself, Shang decides to send a message to whoever the thugs' boss might be, and thoroughly dispatches them. This causes encounters with a number of New York's crime lords, most notable among them being the Kingpin and Luchino "The Count" Nefaria.

The Hand's Grasp - After dealing with a multitude of shenanigans in the Big Apple, The Hand discovers Shang-Chi's whereabouts and finally expands its operation into the United States to hunt him down, sending some of their top operatives to apprehend and eliminate him.

Crossovers Galore - Like, he'll hopefully be involved in New York shenanigans with people, right?

Join a Team - Because, really, there's only so much Bruce Lee-ness I can pump out by myself.

Character Notes:
Master Izo - Shang's mentor and the only other survivor of the K'un-L'un Temple, Master Izo is a blind man who has supposedly lived for hundreds of years through unknown means, as he abandoned The Hand following Kagenobu Yoshioka's death and founded a Temple in Tibet. Sought out by Shang following his own falling out with The Hand, Izo now runs a Chinese Restaurant in the borough of Manhattan in New York City which Shang-Chi currently works for.

Keniuchio Harada - The current head of The Hand and the man who personally assaulted the K'un-L'un Temple in Tibet and burned it to the ground, Keniuchio Harada is a descendant of one of the original founders of The Hand, and as such his name alone carries a great deal of weight across Asia. A ruthless criminal mastermind,

Zheng Zu - Shang's father and head of the Chinese branch of The Hand. (More to be added)

Shen Kuei, The Cat -

Moving Shadow -

Black Mamba -

Fah Lo Suee -

Matsu'o Tsurayaba -
Sample Post: Coming soon, I hope.

Do tell if I should abandon all hope of making Kung Fu noises and revert back to Norse Mythology shenanigans in Asgard.

• Shang-Chi

I abstain from voting since I'll do whichever everyone else decides upon.

yoshua171 said 1.) I just added to the Limitation/ban list in regards to those. If you're asking I figure you want to use some sort of space-time ninjutsu? If so, throw me a PM and I'll disclose the limitations ;)

Nope, just wanted to know. I wouldn't know the first thing to do with a space-time specialist.

yoshua171 said 2.) That is fine. I have altered the limit on Uchiha so that only 5 people (for the moment) may have the Sharingan, but Uchiha who do not possess it are still allowed after that limit is met. So yes, you may do that.

It's a little different than just "He was born blind.", I'm sure you know what that infers. Though I'm very tempted to start him off as beginning the Sage training now rather than the whole journey, as the hard part would've been justifying it, or rather, just how in the heck he'd start. I don't know, either or is possible, I'd just have to think of some kind of arc for him to go on to get to....would it still be Myoboku? We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

yoshua171 said 3.) Fighting any Bijuu alone aside from the Shuukaku is going to be nigh impossible. There are always exceptions due to people specializing in areas that may make such easier, but that is the general rule. However, if you had an S rank individual and a few others to assist you it might be possible to do so. Nonetheless, it would be extremely difficult and there would likely be a high casualty rate. As for high level characters, clanheads and several others may have either A or S ranked individuals. Whether you (generally) deserve either rank will depend on the quality and effort put into your character sheet. Yes you may work on the Seven Swordsman, though keep in mind that the Mist, nor any of the other major villages, exist at current time.

That was the idea actually. A very specific group of say, seven people, banding together to protect the weak and innocent from a giant chakra demon! The survival rate is going to be astronomically low, like, 14% astronomically low, so let's not get ahead of ourselves.

I accidentally deleted all copies of my sheet

That sucks. You could try using Google Docs or Titanpad or something to store them?

yoshua171 said (Dragon Age:) Inquisition eh? How's that game, looked pretty good from what I've seen, but I've not had the privilege of playing it yet.

It's great sans a few graphical glitches here and there and the occasional character model going wonky while standing in place, but I didn't encounter any of those until the second act of the game, which is a long way in.

I do have a couple questions regarding the forbidden/limited list though.

1. So what's the deal with space-time ninjutsu?! (More specifically, stuff like the infamous Flying Thunder God Technique, etc, just trying to gauge whether or not someone can pop up with an instant teleportation no jutsu.)

2. What if someone (It may or may not be me) wanted to make an Uchiha character who would eventually become a Sage? Plot twist and minor spoiler: He's blind. Is that kosher?

3. Regarding Bijuu, or demons in general, how hard would it be to fight one alone and seal it into an item rather than a person? Obviously the higher the tail count the harder it gets, but I may or may not be tinkering with the idea of the genesis of the Seven Swordsmen, or rather, a very specific sword used by them. It may or may not eat peoples' chakra and stuff. I promise it isn't made of shark skin. (Though if I were to do that it'd be with a very high level character, so I may be misreading the supposed timeline of the RP and just what we're supposed to start off with.)

That's about all that comes to mind in terms of shamelessly selfish questions regarding character ideas.

I'm good, playing Inquisition, general Sloth things.

But yeah, hi everyone, I'm that Sloth guy. I do RPs and stuff.
