Naruto Sound ITP OOC 2

[Lord Raziere]

While not the first Naruto ITP here, this is the first to be set in the Sound village of Igordragonian's and I's design.

This roleplay is about an alternate world where the Sound Village that has procured their independence during the Third Ninja War by defeating the Hidden Leaf to secure the independence of the Land of Rice.
The village uses sound jutsu, as well as various experimental jutsu such as curse seals to power themselves up. While there are noble bloodlines among them, the village does not care much for blood, valuing sacrifice over such tradition. Indeed, it is a place of sad tragic tales and the village secured their independence at great cost, with many giving their lives using last resort jutsu to win. Indeed, such martyrdom is held the ideal in Sound and like everywhere else in this world, shinobi are weapons and tools of the powerful. While there is happiness, heroism and humor to be found, this world of espionage, deadly unequal warfare and assassination is where they live.

If there is any hope for change it is in a new generation of shinobi that has grew up in this new time of peace. But as most experienced ninja know, peace is only war by other means and a prelude to the next.

Technological expectations are Naruto-era stuff, so expect schizo tech but nothing from Boruto. While we don't expect more players and focus on a plot, more players who find this fun are welcome.

Preliminary rules, stolen copied over from other Anime-inspired RPs:

Spoiler: THE RULES

Show

Rule the first, no godmodding. A far better explanation of godmodding than I can give is here.

Rule the second, please remember that we plan to have a far more directed plot than Nexus. Please run any major spanners in the works past guys on this thread first.

Rule the third, don't ruin anyone else's fun. I can't stress this enough.

Rule the fourth, have fun! (Failure to abide by this rule is subject to immediate banishment. )

Spoiler: New and Improved (but Loose) Rules v.1.1!

Show

These "rules" are more loose guidelines that serve another FFRPG very well so we adopted them into this one, because they work.

1. Consider asking to join in fights before jumping in. Please respect that not all plots might 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. (This part is currently under review.) 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. That said ...
4. COMMUNICATE! This is the most important rule. We have had issues in the past with people not communicating properly, leading to arguments and hurt feelings, and even several people leaving for good. So please communicate your plans, if they affect everyone else.

Spoiler: Rules Specific To This Roleplay

Show

The "Just A Clone" Rule:
The world of Naruto is one of assassination and ambush, therefore ninjas have come up with a variety of ways to kill someone instantly and easily. Obviously this doesn't gel well with the PCs living. So we've made a rule that when a character does an instant kill move, its perfectly fair to say that your PC retroactively planned for it and used the replacement technique or made a clone or whatever to survive it. an instant kill move is defined as anything that would kill your character in one hit. This is to prevent godmodding without slowing down the action and thus keeping combat interesting.

The "Xanatos Speed Chess" Rule:
While some ninjas are clearly more powerful than others, keep in mind that this is a world of tactics, strategy and not playing fair at all. while there are some situations where raw power is clearly the deciding factor (such as Tailed Beasts or Kage when they're going all out), the assumption should be that the outcome of shinobi battles depend more upon out-thinking your opponent, creativity and what surprises you can pull out of left field than whether your Genin or Jounin as the original show often showed people using creative applications of their abilities to defeat people far more powerful than them. and even in raw power situations, there should be some way of cobbling together a plan to defeat the foe or think your way out of it, even its just to evade or escape the predicament. consider how many surprises and plots you can come up with as a soft power level in a sense. This is so that we focus on fighting smarter than harder, and while Rock Lee is cool, we've decided that pure strength alone only gets you so far in this world.

Remember for both of these rules, that you can cheat and just say your character is smart enough to do this without you actually anticipating anything in advance- thats what these rules are for! Are characters may be ninja geniuses, but we certainly are not.
