Character Creation
I can’t find my bio, what do I do?
It's possible you were already accepted. If this is the case, Staff saves a link of your profile in your account notes, which only we can access. Simply PM a mod and we will send you the link. If it was unfinished, check the area designated for works in progress.
When creating my character can I choose an expensive weapon just to sell it later?
Sure, but this is seriously discouraged behavior. Start off with a weapon you plan to use. Don't look for loopholes to making ryo.
Can my character have wings and fly with them?
Check the Accepted custom clans. There's a blood-limit that handles that.
Do I have to train the techniques I choose when creating my character?
If you create a ninja, you start off with a set number of techniques, and already know all academy techniques. You do not have to train anything you start off with automatically. As a non-ninja, you will have to train into ninja academy techniques, or those that require you to mold chakra.
Can I play as a canon character?
As a generally non-canon site, NO. If the Staff wants someone to be a canon character, we'll make it happen.
Can a character start with a custom weapon or technique?
As long as it gets accepted on the Customs board, yes.
Character Revamps & Recreations
Am I allowed to revamp my character and choose new techniques by just sending him back to submissions, without having him/her die?
NO. You may change your characters Name, Age, Personality, Appearance, and techniques that are no longer a part of the site, or that have changed.
Can I swap out my techniques? I don’t like the ones I picked/trained.
If the technique is removed from the site, yes. Otherwise, No.
When I die do I get all my techniques back for my next character?
No. Staff will contact you and inform you of what perks you will recieve, if any, after your IC death.
How do I re-create a character?
If your character dies, CREATE A NEW CHARACTER and submit it to be graded. Include your Old Character bio, AND a link to your death. After being looked over, Staff will inform you of what perks, if any, you will recieve.
Do Missions Carry over from one character to another?
The missions transfer, but not the CP/CC. You are simply allowed to list them.
Life and Death
If my character dies do I have to make a new account?
Not at all. Keep the same account, just create a new character.
What happens if I’m killed unfairly?
This DOES happen occasionally. Alert Staff via PM and they will look over the event to make sure everything checks out. DO NOT argue with Staff if they tell you that your death is justified. Accept it and re-create.
Character Choices
How many Summons can I have per character?
You are allowed to sign a blood pact with ONE summoning family. The only exception is in the event that you have gained the Rinnegan Eye, where the summon limit is SIX.
How many specialties can a character have?
Specialties are: BLOODLIMITS, CLANS, SEALS, RELIGIONS, or SUMMONS
Sub-Specialties are: INSTRUMENTALIST, ANIMAL COMPANIONS, ANBU, PUPPETRY or HERBALIST
You may only have two specialties. You may NOT be a member of more than TWO Clans. If you are a member of a bloodlimit that requires you to be in a clan, it only counts as ONE of your specialties.
You may only have two sub-specialties. These must be chosen at character creation with the word "FUTURE" next to them as you have not yet learned the skills. Follow all regulations regarding specialties and sub-specialties.
How do I get a cursed seal?
You must be a "B" Ranked Ninja. You must either train into the Seal-Placing technique or convince someone to place one on you. Beware of the restrictions of a cursed seal, you can often end up as someone's slave, or doing horrible things IC.
If my character isn’t a specialist in something, can I still learn it?
No.
What do you mean by "Affinity"?
Affinity is basically used to indicate what type of ninja you are and will become. Characters may start off with a number of different affinities.
A Ninjutsu Affinity means that the character cannot learn "B" "A" or "S" Rank Taijutsu or Genjutsu.
A Genjutsu Affinity means that the user cannot learn "B" "A" or "S" Rank Taijutsu or Ninjutsu.
A Taijutsu Affinity means that the user cannot learn "B" "A" or "S" Rank Genjutsu or Ninjutsu.
A Medical Ninja Affinity means the user is INCAPABLE of using Ninjutsu. The user cannot learn "B" "A" or "S" Rank Non-medical Taijutsu or Genjutsu.
Nin/Gen Affinity meants that the user cannot learn"C" "B" "A" or "S" Rank Taijutsu.
Nin/Tai Affinity means that the user cannot learn "C" "B" "A" or "S" Rank Genjutsu.
Med/Gen Affinity means that the user cannot learn "C" "B" "A" or "S" Rank Non-medical Taijutsu.
Med/Tai Affinity means that the user cannot learn "C" "B" "A" or "S" Rank Genjutsu.
User CANNOT have a Tai/Gen Affinity, as the two styles are incompatible with each other.
How do I know when I’m death enabled?
Anytime you are out of the village without permission, or in a non-stadium/practice battle. Training is not death enabled unless explicitly stated in the thread. If there is a slash mark through your headband symbol (the icon under your name!) you are Death Enabled any time you are IC in a thread.
Can I change my specialties/Affinity after creation?
No.
Can my character discover a BL after creation?
Only if it is explicitly stated when you create your character, and then, you must follow the guidelines for Awakening the bloodlimit.
Clans, Bloodlimits
Can I make a Sharingan/Byakugan Combination?
No. You cannot mix the eyes. The only exception is if you recieve a Byakugan Eye Implant and a Sharingan Implant, though this is very difficult to come by, and requires Staff approval.
Can I be a Main Branch Hyuuga?
You must seek permission from Kurei, The Hyuuga Clan Head, to be a main branch Hyuuga.
Can I start as an Uchiha?
You must have a HELL of a History written up for your character. Also, the road to the Sharingan is incredibly difficult. You will not automatically start out with the Sharingan unless the Staff dice roll goes in your favor.
How do I join a clan?
Joining a clan takes up one of your two specials. In order to join, you must speak to the clan creator (if specified), or RP with a PC/NPC (Staff Decides) to become a part of the clan.
Can Byakugan see through Genjutsu?
Of course.
Can I get a Byakugan/Sharingan/Rinnegan/Dojutsu transplant?
Yes, but you must PM Staff to be sent on the mission to acquire such an implant. As there is only one Rinnegan user currently on the site, you would have to be able to defeat him in order to get the implant. It will be no easy task.
Can clones perform ninjutsu?
Shadow Clones-Yes. Clones that aren't shadow clones or purely genjutsu can only perform jutsu of the same release as them.
Do I have to learn the Animal Training Regiment for each new animal?
Yes.
How do i know what size Animal Companion i can have?
The size of your animal determines there rank and their number/power of jutsu. Your animal is the same rank you are at the moment they become your companion. They must train seperately from you, but they grow in rank and size at the same rate you do, unless you prefer to keep them small.
Am I able to learn more releases?
At character creation, you are allowed Two free releases (Non Medics). Each additional release will require CC training, and has restrictions by Affinity.
Taijutsu Affinity can only learn 2 releases.
Ninjutsu Affinity can learn 5 total releases.
Genjutsu Afinity can only learn 3 total releases.
Nin/Gen can only learn 4 total releases.
Nin/Tai can only learn 4 total releases.
MEDICS CANNOT LEARN RELEASES.
How many CC Points is it to learn a release?
C-Rank training for Basic Releases, B-Rank for Advanced (Wood, Sand, Ice), and A-Rank for Master (Paper, Lava, Storm, Crystal).
What exactly is a ‘Non-Specialized’ Fighting Style?
Any fighting style that doesn't deal with releases or chakra molding.
Does my character need to be a certain age to go into a drunken style?
No, but they do need to find someone to buy them the alcohol if they are under-age .
How do I learn Kage Bunshin (Shadow Clones)?
You may either steal the Village Scrolls from the Hokage (not recommended, as if you are not a VERY powerful ninja, you will most likely not survive), or request to study the scroll from the Hokage, who will not give them to Non-Chunin or Non-ANBU.
If I was born in Fire Country but live in another village, can I still have leaf only techniques?
No. Only those who are a part of the village can learn leaf village techniques, the same applies for each village and its respective techniques.
How do I learn village only techs?
You must have the village scrolls, which requires using them with the Kage's permission, or stealing them.
How many NPC’s may a Kage use during a battle or scroll theft?
The Kage has as many ANBU NPC guards as there are thieves/attackers, minus one. If one person attempts to take the scrolls or assasinate the Kage, they have no guards. If ten people attempt to ambush the Kage, they will have nine guards.
What are the requirements for ANBU?
It depends on which ANBU Faction you become a part of. ANBU takes up one of your sub-specialties.
How do I become Kage?
When there is a Kage election...win.
Who do I talk to about finding a Great Sword?
There are only seven. If you wish to go on a hunt for one, you must formally request to go on the hunt from your Kage. Be Warned: the search is NOT easy.
Are items reusable or do they vanish after one use?
Kunai, shuriken, etc. can be re-used. Anything that isn't intact after use, i.e. smoke grenades, exploding tags, etc. are not.
