Naruto - A New Journey - Normal to high casual

do forgive the rather small looking description the original interest check was lost with the guild and was larger. Also please ignore post count unless stated otherwise.


It has been some few generations since the ninja wars (the second one was the most recent and of which happened at least a generation and a half ago) have ended and the villages have been in a state of pseudo-peace for generations now as the kages have managed to keep things from springing up but minor conflicts still occur occasionally. The strongest villages and the lesser known ones still employ ninja as their main asset in making money from locals and nobles alike as well as keeping peace and preforming espionage on neighboring countries and rogue groups of bandits. The Samurai have also retreated to the land of iron and remain there. They keep the peace and grow strong on their own while protecting what is most dear to them. Legends of old have come and gone and entire villages have vanished into the anneals of time only for new ones to come up in their stead. Powers never seen before seen are appearing from ninja who are making the world into their own personal testing ground while keeping up the appearances as law abiding shinobi. Others seek more morally agreeable ways of seeking power and are becoming well known for that as well some even call them heroes. For many years these ninja have made the world into what it is now and the samurai are reduced to a minor fraction of their power in the land of iron.

However a new legend is brewing and is in the works. This story will foldout as a new group of genin prepare to face their journey into a brand new world. These genin will shape the ninja world with their tenacity and will and make the world a different place for better...or for worse. This is the tale of a group of ninja who shall make their own journey. These ninja will become some of the strongest in history be it they wish it upon themselves or not. Enemies, friends, and rivals will appear to challenge these ninja and to each their own path that they will find in this journey.

FAQ:
1. All basic roleplay rules apply
2. The Jounin spot shall be reserved for an NPC due to the chunin exams. After those happen chunin and lower level jounin shall become available. For now all player characters start at the rank of brand new genin.
2.5: Also while there are canon character in the past they're all more or less dead or non existent. They only exist to serve as a basis for what the roleplay currently is on. That includes Tobi, Minato, The Third Hokage (died with Tobirama), Naruto, Itachi, Danzo (Similar fate to Tobirama), Pain, etc have no influence on this roleplay, are dead, and or weren't born at all. This roleplay starts around the time of what would have been Kakashi's generation but with the nations having a second great ninja war that ended way before this roleplay started. They exist simply to fill out a backstory for the time period. To give you an idea everything up to the third hokage's reign is canon. In this rp the fourth is in reign at the moment and the third died some time ago due to illness.
3. You're able to be a tailed beast holder but you will have less jutsu in exchange for having said beast at the start. You will have little to no of control of the beast as well and will gain it over time. This is to make things fair for those without tailed beasts because you gain advanced healing and the chakra cloak when in extreme danger.
4. Jutsu have to be properly leveled to the character meaning a genin/chunin wouldn't have some move like Rasengan/Chidori/Shadow Clone off the bat. We're not the legendary Minato Namikaze but we may become similarly powerful later in the roleplay.
5. Jutsu will be gained, strengthen, and learned as the rp goes along therefore will be rather weak at the start of the roleplay.
6. No KG of the following: Blaze Release, Dark Release, Dust Release, Kurama Clan's Kekkei Genkai, Rinha Clan's Kekkei Genkai, Ryūzetsu's Kekkei Genkai, Sakon and Ukon's Kekkei Genkai, Swift Release, MG Sharingan(at the start at least and this is restricted to Leaf Village ninja to start out with sharingan) , Rinnegan, Kimmimaro's Kekkei Genkai. Likewise certain kekkei genkai are village restricted unless given a good (Read: legitimate) backstory on why they have it.
7. If you are unsure of something message me.
8. You must be able to post at least a paragraph per post. Preferably more than that.
9. THIS WILL BE A LONG RUNNING ROLEPLAY PLEASE DO NOT JOIN IF YOU CANNOT COMMIT TO IT.
10. The bare minimum I'm willing to accept is a person who can post a paragraph and a half per post (unless given circumstances otherwise make it impossible or make it drag on) and a character with two paragraphs of personality AND history. This is simply the minimal I usually accept.

Making a Tragic Character that isn't Cliche

Well the best hand that I can deal to this question is with the heroic archetype. My planned hero archetype character was in a naruto roleplay and that he was supposed to have really unique abilities. The problem being that before hand since before his birth he was pretty much a lab experiment by the city's special ops to remake one of their formerly strongest rulers. He would go on through his life being a happy and particularly well liked individual until he started getting into the adult stages of his life. First he'd retain his overall heroic type behavior expected from an anime character like himself and grow stronger like that. But he'd start learning things and he'd slowly creep over to the edge of the darkness per say. First by having a teacher who's abilities are pretty much evil but he'd use them initially for the side of good. Then he'd start to slowly get more and more darker while trying to keep himself the way he was. However that is thrown out the window eventually as despite all his efforts he figures out that he was indeed just some science project developed by the special ops and that his whole life while thinking he was supposed to be someone special he really wasn't just some person's attempt at remaking someone who was special. This forces him into a moral event horizon which in turn makes him darker and as he slowly starts to accept it he betrays his village makes his own and then proceeds to try and murder everyone even those who weren't to blame.

Now this seems like a very typical anti-hero but what makes this fellow different is that he willingly accepts that darkness not because it was forced upon him but because he simply lost faith in everything he held dear beforehand and on top of that said village in the aforementioned was starting to make things that really didn't sit well with the big guy. To put it in simple terms without getting to far into things he's a good guy initially who can use darker moves but then turns into a not so well intentioned extremist despot who was once a genuinely good person. However he could have said no to this at any time previously and it was his choice of how he got to where he ended up. Unlike say Zod or Luthor he isn't interested in genocide, being the best, or even really winning or making a point. He's more like the joker who actually has a ethic code and morals he's doing it because he believes that he simply can't let things continue to happen like this for better or worse.

How is this tragic you may ask as well? Well for one no matter how much he wanted to be good he simply couldn't stop the inevitable fall from grace in the end. No matter how good he was he couldn't be something he wasn't meant to be: a person he was and always shall be a weapon.

Also here's a pet peeve of mine. When a person, gm or not, doesn't read your character all the way through and then proclaims them to be a mary or gary stu. For example if a character is really well liked and has some very much weaker versions of a move that is higher class. Perhaps they get a really huge reputation for something they have or have done. Then forget to mention that the guy or girl in question hates tactics, is biased against certain groups, fights almost exclusively in one area, can be easily overwhelmed if his weakness is pushed against, and or is simply not book smart. Other weaknesses that could be attributed to characters with other strong traits could be stuff like a prodigal level soldier with a genetically weak body. lack of charisma, any sort of hampering disease, drug or alcohol problems, and otherwise really severe problems.

When I personally come by and look at a character I look at what they are capable of doing currently and in the future and if I see something I don't know how would work I either ask about it or say that I don't feel comfortable with that sort of ability in the roleplay.

well height and weight ARE notable because if the rp is combat scenario based roleplay weight class and how tall a person is drastically effects how they can do some things. Why do you think you rarely see heavy weight boxers fighting feather weights? Because it'd be the big guy smacking the smaller guy around a hell of a lot or the smaller guy just dodging and weaving around like a devil for the most part. Also it is notable if a character is taller than the other for reference sake.

fair enough Stern.

Teen Titans: Rising Tide

"Of freaking course....gas attack." was all that Frost Bite could get out as he quickly created a small air bubble around his head with a thin pocket of air inside of it that was not exposed to the substance being used presently. Seeing as this was usually his realm of expertise though he figured he'd steal the glory for this round. "Hey guy's I'm going to get rid of this SHIT in the air if you have half a working brain than get anyone caught into this to safety. I'll need to concentrate so I'll be vulnerable watch my back!" Frost Bite shouted hoping that one of his damn team mates actually heard what he said as he flew down into the street he quickly started to concentrate and form a small tornado around both of his arms and then when he was certain that it would blow away most of the stuff he unleash it sending it away from those in the immediate vicinity but he then proceeded to call back the wind into two giant balls of which he contained most of the powder in and kept it the big balls of air floating in the air. "Damn it this is such a pain..." He complained silently as he wanted to make sure this powder was properly disposed of and not go further into the city or worse back into the immediate area around him and his team and the crowd.

After looking at the post Green made I can't do much unless you guys want more Mizawa and or Captain Welsh or make Richard (I keep typing Paul in from the Those Who Correct Roleplay) get out of his cockpit and or see what The ZAFT Team is up to with their creepy commander tyber.

Teen Titans: Rising Tide

Alright I'll see what I can get up tomorrow.

Mobile Suit Gundam SEED - Heroes of ORB

If no one posts by the middle of tomorrow I'll post again I'd hate for this roleplay to die before we even get into chapter four.
