Does having my sword at your neck count as "a situation where death is imminent"? :D

(And Akaritori is definitely going to be executing the General that authorised it.)

I disagree with your principles thoroughly, Durn. If you give the people the ability to exempt themselves from death, there will be issues with people who refuse to die. Not only that, but there is an inherent risk/reward factor involved with practically everything in the Ninja world - for example, the (absolutely awful) mission that has sent Jinchuuriki into Konohagakure. The rewards are nothing compared to the immense risk, so it should never have been attempted - and the risk is so high because death /must/ be a factor. They are invading an enemy village, and if they're caught and executed, they should have no say in it because it is out of their control. You, as a person, have a limited amount of power in terms of your character - you cannot stop actions from occurring in character just because you don't want them to, because that infringes on other people's rights as well.

The ability to kill freely in character is a must - and those who abuse that right by, for example, randomly killing Genin, should be punished both IC and OOC. If the punishment is appropriate, the ability to kill freely is perfectly acceptable.

Character death is important. If you give people the freedom to allow and disallow death, it will have severe repercussions. It's also not thematically appropriate to be able to deny death. One should live vicariously through their character, after all. :D

Also, as for the mandatory taking hits - if I can reasonably avoid a hit in character, I will. It makes no sense for a character to allow themselves to get hit if it's in their power to avoid it. In situations where it isn't in their power, there's no issue. :D

Please, by all means, feel free to timeskip Akaritori and Touzoku to the summit. xD

Also, if you do threaten to execute one of Iwagakure's populace, there will likely be hell to pay. We will go to war over this.

Like I said earlier, timeskip Akaritori and Touzoku to be at the summit. c:

Akaritori and co are ready to go whenever. I don't think there's much point in posting "They arrived at the summit." - There's not a lot to add there. xD

Natrelmon: From the Ashes

As Chu used Surprising Speed to dodge the point blank Hydrosurge and carried on with its momentum towards Sagralia, during the time in which Axel shouted “Mock and Strike!”, Itsuki and Sagralia prepared the vines to counter the melee attack. As Chu “unleashed quick and devastating strikes”, three of the vines whipped forwards as Rook had been talking, and using Chu’s momentum against it, would wrap themselves around the Natrelmon’s right wrist (the one it lead its punches with) and drag it to the side while the other three vines latched onto its left ankle and pulled in the direction it was moving, which would be complimented by a strong whipping motion from the vines wrapped around Chu’s wrist. This combination of movements, plus the Chu’s high speed, would hopefully force it into a Team Rocket-esque launch right out of the arena, and into a nearby shop. If, somehow, Chu countered the genius manoeuvre, Sagralia would be ready with a Hydrosurge, and would fire it in an appropriate fashion given Chu’s actions (aka to be decided if you escape).

“What even are these trainers?” could be heard from the small crowd outside the arena.

It's something that people tend to do subconsciously, as they devise their strategies with all information they have - which inadvertently includes the metagamed knowledge of weakness - and it's something I'd rather guard against.

The techniques in question are just inherently broken, though. xD

Naruto - Legend of the Bijuu's - Part I - OOC

The idea of adding a weakness is bogus. xD

If there's a facet of the technique which has a drawback it's a descriptor, so it goes in the description. The weakness just serves to invite people to metagame (something I've historically had a lot of trouble with).
