Naruto

The setting for the Naruto RPG is during the current manga arc (chapter 250) but we will not be following the arc entirely. Basically we'll be taking the idea that it is two/three years later, and will work from there. However, we will be using the current ranking for the characters.

Highlight to view. (If you are not up to date with the manga, don't look!)

* Naruto is the only remaining Genin from his class.
* Gaara is Kazekage
* Jounin: Neji, Kankuro, and Temari
* Chuunin: Everyone else

Concerning the filler season within the anime series... it shall not exist here. Let me repeat that: The filler season seen within the anime shall NOT exist here. It's called a filler for a reason. Anything past the failed Sasuke-retrieval in terms of the anime is considered null and void. Any application with reference to the latest arc will be instantly denied with no chance of reapplying even for a different type of character.

Canon Rules

  • Characterization. As everyone is two years older, you're free to tweak with their personalities and physical appearance a bit. Keep it realistic though. Hinata isn't going to have bright, pink hair or be very flirty/outgoing, and Lee won't wear anything considered normal. We'd prefer not to see Sasuke tap-dancing in the middle of the streets, thanks.

  • Abilities. Make up new jutsu for them. =D However, keep them relevant to the character and nothing too powerful. Kiba is not going to have some new purely elemental-based technique or something.


Original Character Rules

((We'd prefer it if you could apply for canon if at all possible, as there are just so many of them.))

  • Characterization. It is expected of you to adhere to the characterization/personality that you create for your character. Meaning, if you're playing some aloof, cold-hearted snot, you shouldn't be suddenly humming cheerily to yourself, smiling kindly, and getting along with everyone like you're buddy-buddy.

  • Ranks. Chuunin have to be at least 15 years of age when they were promoted. Jounin start in the range of 18-20, though closer to 20. Your character cannot be a Sannin or anything higher than that, either.

  • Relations. No relation (by blood/marriage/other) to any main canon. Period. Don't even ask. domokun NO Uchiha, NO Hyuuga. (Unless, of course, that character has appeared in the series before, but does not show up often. Like Kiba's sister.) Friends and neighbors, sure. Cousins or very distant relatives, maybe.

  • Uberness. No all-powerful characters. Why? Because god-moders are annoying as hell and thoroughly frell over boards. Give your character a reasonable amount of abilities/skills and have them make sense. Being able to fly, teleport anywhere in the world, and control/create all the elements in existence is not only illogical, but stupid. This also include ace-shooter with unlimited ammo, or insta-kill weapons and all that crap. Basically, OCs can't be any stronger than the main characters.

  • Abilities. No jutsu of any clans or Advanced Bloodline. In order to know those specific jutsu, you have to be a part of those families. (And as stated above, there are no OCs that can be related to canon characters.) Unless you are Gaara, you do not get his jutsu. And we don't want to see Kimimaru clones. >_< At ALL. The only three people with Sharingan are Itachi, Sasuke, and Kakashi.

    As well, it seems that only the common jutsu (Kawarimi, Bunshin, Henge, and then sometimes Kai) are the only ones that are known 'internationally' throughout all of the villages and ninja. This means that you will need to come up with your own personal jutsu for your character rather than grabbing ones at random off a website. Your character may have a jutsu already shown only if you give a reason as to why they have it (ie, they were taught by a canon character who knows it).

  • Countries. Unless your country is an ally with Konoha (ie, Sand), your character would have no reason to be there. Even still, you will need some sort of reason to be in Konoha if you are from an allied country.

  • Akatsuki. Maybe. It better be one damn good application. Try, if you can, to be one that has been shown already. Since little information has been provided for any of the Akatsuki save Itachi, you are free to come up with your own back story and all that, provided it's not something overly angsty. We'd rather not see another Itachi, thanks. (No, Orochimaru is not an Akatsuki.)


That's it for now. These rules are subject to change. Also, if the application is impressive and logical enough, some of the above rules might be reconsidered for that character.

NOTE: Rules pertaining to post style, guild ettiquete, etc can be found in the Welcome announcement thread. Please read over it.

Application

The below form will need to be filled out by everyone, even those who are applying for canon. We want to be certain that you are capable of playing that character correctly. Please PM the applications to all Naruto mods with the subject "TAC: Naruto Application".

Because of Gaia's tendency to be populated by non-literates, more than likely we will return your application back to you with any comments and concerns that we may have. Please do not get discouraged because of this. This is normal for everyone who joins. However, as we have to talk with all of the mods and write down our explanations, please be aware that it will take us some time to review your application. This could be anywhere from a day to even a week depending on how busy we are, if we disagree on parts, etc. Please be patient. If by a week we haven't at least told you we received your application, feel free to inquire about your status. Also realize that if you submit something completely retarded that disregards one or more rules to a serious degree we will outright ignore your application.

Here's some explanations on the form:

(All of the below fields must be at least one paragraph in length (5-8 sentences) unless otherwise noted. A note for skills/abilities, and things like that: If you don't write it in, then your character does not have it. End of discussion.)

Physical Traits: You may link to a picture if you have one, but you are still required to describe your character as well. For physical description we would like to see physique, hair style/length and color, eye color and shape, skin tone, and anything that would be distinguishing for the character.

Inventory: This can just be a sentence or two, but don't list.

Ninjutsu: List the ninjutsu your character knows.
Taijutsu: Your character will most likely not have any named Taijutsu abilities, so just describe his/her physical training.
Genjutsu: List the genjutsu your character knows.

Jutsu Reference: Describe what your jutsu are capable of doing, and how they are carried out. This is uneeded for common jutsu.

Chakra Abilities: Decribe it. Level of control, molding, etc.

Skills Stuff your character is good at either by natural talent or training. They don't necessarily have to be combat related. Also include some weaknesses if you could.

Personality: Be as descriptive with this as you can, as this is what determines how your character will interact with everyone else. Include your character's beliefs as well as how he/she interacts with others, if he'she has a hatred for a specific character or village, etc. If you need an example, please see Shiori's profile in the X-Men section.

Interests: This can just be a sentence or two, but don't list.

Family: You may list, though specify names/ages if possible. Remember, your character had to have parents of some kind, so at least saying "mother and father are dead" works, just state something. Characters generally don't spawn out of thin air. >_>

Friends/Affiliates: Listing is okay, though specify names.

History: Must be at least two paragraphs in length, though preferably longer. We want to hear about the events that lead your character to develop they way they have, how they got themselves in specific situations, and anything else important in understanding them.

Your roleplay experience. Meaning, what other types of RPGs have you been in (including genre and system of play), how long you've been roleplaying, etc. This will not hinder your chance of acceptance. We just wanna know what you're coming from.

Your knowledge of the Naruto universe. Just so we know where everyone stands and will help us work around potential timeline issues.

Sample roleplay entry. As the application is the only way we can gauge what kind of player you'll be, this is very beneficial to include. However, please don't link to any former RPGs. We do not have the time to scroll through pages of posts to look for yours. Just cut and paste a post if you really have to. Though don't give us a post for Bleach or some other non-Naruto character if say you want to be Sasuke. That wont show us you can play him.
