NarutoITP II OOC: Sexy No Threadjutsu

[Innis Cabal]

The official tag for NarutoITP threads is simply [NarutoITP]. Put that on any threads for this.

Questions and answers:

What is NarutoitP anyway?

NarutoitP is a FFRP universe which is heavily influenced (read: alternate version of the universe of) by the Japanese manga/anime Naruto.

Okay, but how is it different from, say, the Town or ACRONYM?

It differs in several important ways.
First, it is a lot more uniform that the Town and ACRONYM. NarutoitP has ninja, shinobi, samurai, and jinchūriki of various countries and clans. It does not have, say, cyborgs or sniper kittys.
Second, the plot of NarutoitP is going to be more directed. There are the good, the bad, and the ugly, and they are mostly organised. As such, most plots and stuff will be interwoven into one big plot. Or at least that's the intention.
Third, NarutoitP is NOT in any way connected to the Town, at least not in the way ACRONYM is. i.e. you cannot have a character travel between the two. If you want a character in NarutoitP, it is for NarutoitP. You can have a version of the same character for both ACRO/Town and NarutoitP, but they are different characters.

How do I start?

Well, you want to post a character in this thread, and the character registry when it goes up, so everyone can find information on your character and so people can give you helpful criticism on it.
To prevent a pattern that is all too easy to fall into, it's good to point out the fact that passive actions don't tend to get much attention.
With that in mind, make a post and begin!

There are rules, right?

Yes, there are.
Firstly, no godmodding (or godmoding). A far better explanation of godmodding than I can give is here.
Second, please remember that we plan to have a far more directed plot than ACRO or the Town. Please run any major spanners in the works past guys on this thread first.
Third, don't ruin anyone else's fun. I can't stress this enough.
Fourth, have fun!

What the hell is going on?

The Third Great Shinobi War has only been ended for thirty years, but already the peace seems to be rankling under the skin of the countries that found themselves on the losing side. But the advent of new weapons, jinchūriki, and the awesome power of the beasts contained within them has kept open hostilities from breaking out once more. Now these fledgling weapons are growing into lives of their own, to the gain or detriment of their villages, and are causing chaos in the world of shinobi.

Will another Great Shinobi War erupt from the stale peace? Or will the shinobi of the world figure out a way to live in harmony with one another? Only time will tell but evil always lurks just out of sight, waiting for weaknesses to exploit.

Not a terribly enlightening history overview, but I'm leaving a lot of it to be determined by the players as a whole beyond a few basic guidelines of...

-Every village is on their third or fourth kage.
-The tailed beasts are unlikely to hold the same forms, but the same general power level.
-Smaller countries and villages do exist but not in over-abundance.
-An organization similar to Akatsuki exists as well under a different name and goal (though has a similar means)
-This is alternate universe, the canon characters do NOT exist.

Anything else can be determined as the game goes on and will be added to that summary as it becomes relavent.

New and Improved (but loose) Rules v.1.1!
These "rules" are more loose guidelines that serve another FFRPG very well so I adopted them into this one, because they work.

1. Consider asking to join in fights before jumping in.
   Please respect that all plots might not be open. Alternatively, if you yourself want to keep a fight cordoned off from other participants, say so in the OOC, at the beginning of your post, or both.
2. TALK major fights over with your opponent!
   This is to keep arguments about who's the better fighter, who should win, blablablablabla, out of the OOC. Of course, talk these things over in PM, or some kind of IM service. While arguments might break out over said PM/IM... It keeps it out of the OOC. Which is what we're trying to do here. On that note...
3. Don't argue in the OOC!
   They make the atmosphere oppressive, they make things less fun, and generally unpleasant and maybe even make the arguments larger than they need be. So, if you have a problem with someone, try to talk it out in PM or IM before using the OOC.

These guidelines/loose rules might be viable to change or be added on to as issues come up, but the bases are covered pretty well.

And, just so there is an example for people to follow for character entries...


There, an example of the format and a character to be finished later as well. Due to a logical worry brought up to me over an IM though, I suggest we stick to one Hidden Village at this time to keep people from spreading out too much. If, say, Kirigakure only had two PC's playing in it, then chances are it's going to die off very quickly because of lack of activity. In other words, once/if the game gets going good and you want to introduce one of the other villages or some other faction into the game, give your idea in the OOC and make sure you have enough people so the village or faction doesn't just disappear from inactivity before you go and set it up. This will ensure that a given faction or village gets the attention it deserves by the players in it, hopefully. This does NOT mean you can't have a character from such places, just try to keep from making a completely separate thread for them until you have enough interest.

First.

I'm thankful for New Threads, and for gender ambiguous pre-teenage ninjas, and for ridiculously big swords, and for overpowered jutsu being given out like candy to every genin ever, and squadmates that refuse to post more than once a week, and...

[KnightDisciple]

Second. Mm, love that new thread taste. Innis cooks up a good one.

[MageSparrowhawk]

*deep whiff* that's a good new-thread scent...

I honestly think the idea of "taken" when it comes to rather generic, basic concepts is a little silly. If its a signature jutsu...a blood line...things like that...ya sure, thats taken, your creation..your idea. Unfair to let other people steal it and alter one minor detail and claim it as new and theirs.

Things like the sub technique...basic jutsu for any elemental release...claiming it and saying no one else can do it...seems a little unfair...to be completely and totally honest.

I was only referring to the pine-needle hair. And I edited my previous post of "already done it" to say that as long as it was kept separate from the idea of using mokuton techniques to modify yourself, then I was fine with it.

Ooooh ooooooh!! I know this one. And passive aggression?

@Mage-Thats...a considerable number of jutsu to deny someone don't you think? Not only that, but body modding has alreadu been done by other mokuton users, specifically used against a Chuunin for surprisingly damaging results.

[MageSparrowhawk]

...neh? I was unaware of that style of technique existing besides my OC...if this is not accurate, I apologize....

[Innis Cabal]

It was a one of villian for an episode thread, but he turned his viens into vines and had poison flowers growing from him as well.

[MageSparrowhawk]

oooh...huh. Did not know that....

well...the more you know, right?

[Maximum Zersk]

Ah, the new thread. And interesting name.

[Innis Cabal]

You should have seen the last one I made.

[MageSparrowhawk]

which one was that?

[Maximum Zersk]

You should have seen the last one I made.

Was it.. Who Likes Short Shorts?

[horngeek]

Wait, which missing-nins are actually in Konoha at the moment?

[Innis Cabal]

Was it.. Who Likes Short Shorts?

That was one of em ya!

[Callos_DeTerran]

Nobu Goro is, but he's currently making his escape.

Hoshiko is...somewhere within the Land of Fire.

[Saint Nil]

Zenryu is in hiding until given further orders.

[OverWilliam]

That's not fair, Shades. You're starting up a new character while all three of us are waiting on a response from your current one?

[Shades of Gray]

Buh?

I have no clue what's happening with that. That's what I get for sleeping.

Where did we leave off?

[OverWilliam]

Two pages ago.

Nara Hari

After he finished explaining the plan, Hari glanced back and forth between his teammates. "Any questions or ideas?" He asked after giving them a second to think.

"...Are you sure this is going to work? We're going to look like fools if it doesn't.."

Hari sighed. "Even if we can pull it off perfectly, I can't guarantee it'll work... but I think it's our best shot." He nodded when Rin turned to start her part of the plan, and reached into his belt pouch. He pulled out a tightly coiled roll of ninja wire. Hari glanced at Kaede. "Ok... You know what you have to do...?"

[Rebonack]

What's this?

A new thread?

*break dances furiously*

I think I'll have another exciting post of Katsurou doing D rank missions today. Maybe someone will finally take pity on him?

[Silverraptor]

How long has this been up?

Anyways, what my characters are doing.

Senga: Just waiting for conversation from the squad.

Leech: Being a sneaky person and popping up where ever he wants.

Motah: Talking with Momo and Daichi.

Speaking of Motah, where's Daichi's character registration?

[Dorizzit]

Image Kyo is still waiting for Sasan, unless I missed something

Oh, sorry.

[Silverraptor]

For those of you who have wondered where my friend went, blame his evil teachers and their homework. I'll keep you all informed of his position.

[Shades of Gray]

Speaking of Motah, where's Daichi's character registration?

It does not exist yet. It will, when I have the time.

[horngeek]

For those of you who have wondered where my friend went, blame his evil teachers and their homework. I'll keep you all informed of his position.

Ah...

eeeeeeeeeeevil teachers. I am glad I am free of them.

And , because a lot of the teachers at my school were nice ones.

[Maximum Zersk]

For those of you who have wondered where my friend went, blame his evil teachers and their homework. I'll keep you all informed of his position.

That would explain much.

I have had some teachers in the past who were Spazasaurus Rexes. And the PE Teachers in my school yell a lot.

[Innis Cabal]

Everything seems to be falling into place

[horngeek]

Oh, dear... an attack on the Land of Lightning?

[Innis Cabal]

Umm...no. Look at the map...its got a few spaces between the Land of Rice Fields and the Land of Lightning.
