Name: Midori Jian
Gender: Female
Age: 14
Nationality: Kumogakure
Ninja Rank: Genin
Chakra Nature: Wind
Kekkei Genkai: None
Hiden (If Applicable): None

Appearance: A short girl with straight black hair extending down to her upper back and dark brown eyes. Midori wears a modified version of a Dark Blue Qipao Dress where the flexible material doesn't hinder any of her movement as well as provide some protection from the durable material. Black flats cover her feet. She always carries her sword with her, either in her hand or in a sheath on her left hip.

Personality: Midori appears to be a cold and distant individual, she always puts her objective and the honor of her clan first and everything else second. This includes her own well being. She is very harsh towards others who appear any less than fully dedicated to their clan or family. Despite having this strict personality, traces of a softer side occasionally seeps through her hard shell. She often wonders how she might have turned out if she had a more normal childhood.

Personal History: Heir to the Jian clan of Kumogakure, Midori has had a less than desirable childhood. At the very young age of 4 years old, she was put under a rigorous training regiment by her father, the clan head. His goal was to mold Midori into a tool to bring back their clan's honor and reestablish their position in the village. Because of this, Midori never got to enjoy her childhood as she spend it entirely on improving her sword skills and etiquette.

Clan History: The Jian clan is famed for their mastery of the sword. Throughout the history of Kumo, the Jian clan has produced some of the finest swordsmen in all the 5 great nations. Thought they were once great, their influence on state affairs have been dwindling in recent years. Something the current head of the clan is trying to rectify by any means necessary.

So since Kyuu and Zander both had an interest in a Kumo character, I’d be okay with moving Keba to a different village and one of you guys could fill in (especially since it seems we now have an excess of swordsmen in Kumo xD).

If it’s alright I’d ideally move him to Rain, Waterfall, or Frost but I’d need two other characters to be made to go with Keba. So if anyone’s interested in making another character for one of those villages lmk, otherwise I’ll probably drop to make room for Kyuu or Zander’s next character cause it’s their rp so they should get first dibs and the kekkei tota was controversial anyways.

Well, @Mystic Zander if you wanna make your Cloud OC then go ahead; because I've been chatting with Mango, and building up the Frost Village from nothing does sound like an interesting project.

We'd need to talk logistics though. This would open up two slots, one in Kumo and one in the Frost, which I'd like claims on before we even proceed any further with this idea.

Personally, as long as all the villages we have are also filled with 3 Ocs, then I don't mind but what's your take on it?
 
Alrighty then, I'll start with my character:

I'll be filling out my character sheet throughout the night.

Momo Kuchinashi

Gender:
Female

Age:

Nationality:
Shimogakure

Ninja Rank: (If Applicable)
Genin

Nature:
Yin Release, Water Release

Kekkei Genkai (If Applicable):

Allows the user to develop and nurture a second consciousness/parallel mind. Once this consciousness is created, it heightens the user’s spiritual awareness, granting them increased sensitivity to the emotions of others. However, the overabundance of Yin chakra in the body does result in its users being sickly and often falling ill.
  • Wielders of this kekkei genkai can sense the emotions of those within the vicinity (can be blocked)
  • The parallel mind allows the user increased resistance to genjutsu as the second mind can snap the first out of a genjutsu. Strong genjutsu could trap both minds at once.
  • Parallel mind allows the user to perform with increased dexterity.

Hiden (If Applicable): N/A

Appearance:

She was a pretty girl; not just pretty, but gorgeous and stunning. She was taller than most, with slender limbs and pale, pearlescent skin. Her thin frame and pale features made her seem delicate, sickly even; as if a stray gust could blow her away. In spite of that impression, she was by no means gaunt or emaciated. It was on the contrary. She was as shapely as one would expect of a girl her age; though her clothing did here curvature no favors.

Momo wears a short navy-blue kimono with icy-blue peach patterns that cover her torso, from exposed shoulders to bare thighs. The kimono hangs loosely, but it tightly held together by a silver obi wrapped around the girl’s waist that mimics the icy-blue peach patterns on her kimono. In addition, Momo wears accessories: a white banbi, shin guards, wrist gauntlets, and specialized shoes all lined with fur.

In the meanwhile, we want to talk about Shimogakure itself. The village has probably been around for...maybe 60 years or so. The land of frost doesn't have much to go off of in terms of history. The only thing we know about it is that the Frost Daimyo taxes his already poor citizens and then spends the money on prostitutes.

Previously Night's Shadow
Name: Hideki Sho
Gender: Male
Age: 15
Nationality: Shimogakure (Hidden Frost Village)
Ninja Rank: Genin

Chakra Nature: Lightning/Earth
Kekkei Genkai (If Applicable): N/A
Hiden (If Applicable): N/A

Appearance: Hideki’s natural hair color is a dark brown, but about half of it is dyed a golden blonde. Usually because he can’t be bothered to cut or redye his hair until someone tells him to. Most of the time, he doesn’t even bother to brush it except for funerals, and it usually hangs limply around his shoulder length. His eyes are a murky brown that matches his hair, appearing like muddy water. His skin tone is lightly tanned, and he is thin and wiry, standing at about 5’7”.

Hideki’s outfit prioritizes comfort above all else, a good analogy for his whole philosophy. He wears loose khaki pants, secured at the bottom with bandage wrappings. He hardly ever wears shoes, since they tend to hinder his already-clumsy feet, instead opting to wrap them halfway with bandages. On top, he wears a dark brown jacket with a tanuki fur-rimmed hood half-zipped up. The cuffs of his sleeves are also fur-trimmed, and a small furred charm that looks similar to a tanuki’s tail dangles from his left breast pocket. He doesn’t wear a shirt under, but wears a cream-colored scarf with his shinobi headplate attached to it around his waist as a belt.

Personality/Personal History: Hideki is the definition of a free spirit, doing what he wants, when he wants to. Paired with a control freak father and a mother with fantasies of “restoring Shimo pride” is bound to cause tensions within his family. Pursued and fought over by both parents for his extreme talent in genjutsu, each wanting to use his power for their own reasons, he became a cynical and pessimistic soul with a bitter outlook on the world.

As an only child, Hideki didn’t have a sibling to turn to, nor any close friends. So when his family situation took a violent turn, he ran away to the house of a family friend and clanmate, Kirai Sho. She was like a second mother to him, and gave him refuge when he wanted to hide from his parents. She died when he was thirteen, sending him into an angry depressive spiral. He opted to enter the chunin exams without telling his family, to prove that he was his own person, and would not be controlled by anyone, least of all them.

He uses tricks of the light to play genjutsu mind games with his opponents, heightened by making the ground beneath them roll and pitch just enough that they think they are going insane. These tricks are boosted by his main weapon, mirrored strings that reflect light, usually attached to kunai (which is probably the one thing he can throw without hitting about twenty feet away from its target). His main motto when fighting is “help the enemy defeat themself.”

Despite his fierce drive to prove himself, Hideki still tends to be quite distant, not bothering to get to know people outside of their fighting styles. His attitude tends to be flippant and apathetic, unopinionated on most topics. While quick-witted, tricky, by-the-book smart, and often manipulative, he is also exceptionally clumsy, and holds the record in his village for “most falls without any visible reason” by a long shot.

Clan History (If Applicable): There is nothing particularly special about the Sho clan, other than its tendency to produce slightly more intelligent shinobi. The Sho usually grow up to become scholars or teachers, not necessarily the strongest fighters. Overall they are pretty much average in every respect. Hideki’s skill in genjutsu and photographic memory are complete flukes, and he has yet to realize his full potential.

However, the overabundance of Yin chakra in the body does result in its users being sickly and often falling ill. This kekkei genkai is incredibly hard to control and thus maintains a state of perpetual activity in inexperienced users. It lambasts them with the emotions of everyone around them but defensively causes others to develop feelings of goodwill towards the user. This 'goodwill' can manifest in a variety of ways which are generally determined by the person it's affecting.

A white banbi, shin guards, wrist gauntlets, and specialized shoes complete her shinobi outfit, and they're all lined with fur to stave off the cold.

Momo is almost always wearing a facial veil that obscures her face.

Personality:
Momo is a very reserved girl. Her ability to sense the emotions of others has developed into an aversion towards talking with people in general because their emotions often rub off on her and, with the corrupt Daimyo of the Frost oppressing them at every turn, the emotions that surrounded her from a young age were often negative. Despite not liking people, Momo can be exceptionally good at handling them. Due to her family’s occupation of Shimogakure’s shrine and their duty as emotional pillars in the village, she’s been taught how to react to others positively, to console and comfort, and to put up facades to better their moods. These counseling sessions within the village are often done in one-on-one areas as exposure to many strong emotions can cause Momo to go through wild mood swings. Past experiences have given Momo an intense hatred for unreservedly licentious people.

Personal History:
Momo has lived all her life in the Frost Village, working as a shrine maiden in the village's central shrine. She, along with her father and mother, occupies the role of the village's spiritual pillars as well as being the strongest family within the Frost village, despite only possessing two Jonin. Her Father is the defacto leader of the Frost village, however, their family is merely a figurehead. The entire Kuchinase clan has been brandished with a curse-mark controlled by the corrupt Frost Daimyo, which ensures the Clan remains loyal to him in spite of his wicked corruption. Momo has, on more than one occasion, met the Frost Daimyo, and her beauty has been the subject of his wanton and unbridled debauch desires.

In the first part of her appearance, I noticed you kept putting “was”. Did something happen to her appearance?
 
Here’s my updated Keba bio, the changes are pretty minor but I figured I might as well post him by the rest of the people in his village.

Name: Keba Chikuwa
Gender: Male
Age: 13
Nationality: Shimogakure
Ninja Rank: Genin

Chakra Nature:
Water/Wind/Lightning
Kekkei Tota: Cloud Release- Water, Wind, and Lightning release.
The user is given the ability to create electrically charged clouds which leads to a wide array of applications. The capabilities of the clouds scale to the user’s strength so it is not an inherently powerful ability. For example, about all Keba can do for now is generate small clouds and move them with wind, basically allowing him to run in the air. Passing a metallic object through a cloud would charge it with electricity and increase its capabilities. The clouds are also capable of shooting water bullets and small zaps of lightning, though they would understandably disappear after extended usage. An expert application for Keba would include creating a large thundercloud to engulf the battlefield and utilize the electricity with his swords to increase their power and speed and generate electric slashes.

Hiden (If Applicable): N/A

Kenjutsu:
While he knows the signature Kenjutsu’s of both of his villages (cloud-style and frost-style), Keba has also developed his own kenjutsu that is a combination of the two. He combines the speed and powerful slashes of cloud-style, the precision and utility of frost-style, and his own agility and acrobatic movements to create flurry-style. Keba holds two of his swords in reverse grip while throwing the other two like boomerangs as he darts from cloud to cloud, overwhelming opponents with speedy attacks from all angles.

Eventually he will get a bo staff that he uses to conduct lightning.
upload_2021-1-12_14-51-49.png
Keba is a boy who lives without a care. This is largely due to the fact that his entire existence is greatly considered wasted potential and so he is not particularly inspired to try to achieve anything. By coupling up one of their best users of storm release and one of their finest wind natured shinobi, Kumogakure had high hopes that the child would grow into one of the greatest warriors the village had ever produced. Instead, they were given an unambitious child whose fabled Kekkei Tota seemed to be little more useful than a party trick. Humiliated by the shame brought to his family by his son’s disappointing ability, Keba’s father was determined to force his son into becoming a great shinobi in order to restore honor to his name. Unfortunately for the man, no matter how many times he tortured, cut, and abused his guiltless child, Keba’s sense of humor and carefree nature were unable to be beaten out of him, so his father eventually gave up and disowned the boy.

Keba was unbothered by the events though, and actually enjoyed his free lifestyle in which he would waste away his days sleeping in the clouds and flunking school without consequence despite possibly being the most naturally intelligent student in the building. There was something endearing about his carefree nature as if people envied his ability to let any troubles or hardships blow past him like the wind and live without worries and burdens. His infectious personality sustained his lifestyle through the numerous friends he had charmed. There was a person in every corner of the village that would offer meals or a place to spend the night.

This continued on for years, but often as boys mature and grow, so does their interest in females. Keba was yet another victim of this trend which ultimately led to a turning point in his life. One day, Keba crossed paths with an older female jonin who had just returned from a mission. As many women do in the world of naruto, she had quite large...... assets. Keba was immediately smitten, and began his efforts to earn her favor. However, he would soon suffer the worst rejection of his life as his boyish charm had no effect on the girl and she merely laughed at him, pointing out that his entire life had been a complete failure and thinking someone like him had a chance with her showed how dumb he really was. She then went on to explain that women are only attracted to men they can respect and she doubted he could even swing a sword.

For the first time in his life Keba had resolve. He knew if he could gain the reputation of a great shinobi his life would be filled with women like the one from that day. He elevated from putting no effort into his studies to putting in the minimal amount of effort required to excel. After school he would hide in the clouds and watching the greatest shinobi in his village train and then go on to workout late into the night.

After observing Killer B’s unique sword style, Keba was determined to invent his own that would set him apart and therefore make him stand out to girls. He was reminded of his father’s great sword that had been passed down from generation to generation in their clan and most recently used to give Keba the scar across his nose. That night, Keba stole the family heirloom and rationalized his crime by figuring the sword was meant to be passed onto him once he became a shinobi anyways. He then brought it to a sword smith, and sense he was unable to go to a very good one out of fear of being caught, the blade broke into four pieces as it was being reworked; however, it was a blessing in disguise as it led to the development of his signature sword style.

Keba’s father was enraged after he discovered his prized sword had been stolen and set out with a vengeance to find the thief. In order to avoid his wrath, Keba fled high to the clouds but a powerful storm rolled in and blew Keba far away until he landed on a snow capped mountain in the frost village of Shimogakure. Though the village was poor and small, Keba awoke to a kind, albeit scraggly, group of shinobi tending to Keba and offering him what little food they had as he recovered from his rough journey. It was a nice change to be regarded as a unique and special shinobi rather than a disappointment. The genuinely kind people and a blossoming crush on the village leaders daughter inspired Keba to stay and make the village his home, hoping to one day become a shinobi great enough to repay his debt to Shimogakure by putting it on the map and possibly winning the affections of the girl.
Clan History: There’s not much. As previously stated, his family had a great sword that was passed down, but I’m not particularly well versed in the powers of different swords so that is something to be discussed.

Choji uses yang style in his expansion jutsu, does he not? I was thinking of a similar body manipulation. Though rather than grow in body mass, Ryu Ryu would toughen his body. In a similar manner to kirishima from my hero academia.
Partial Expansion is indeed Yang Release, but so is Konan's Paper Shikigami jutsu. Yang Release does affect the body in some vague and undefined ways. However, I think if you're toughening your body then you're better off utilizing earth release. If you've got body-related things in mind after toughening his body then Yang Release might be what you're looking for; but, the toughening effect won't be as strong as earth release.

Thanks for the advice. So wind/earth then?
 
Having transformations sounds cool, but I'll probably go with the safer route wind/earth. Give him simple body hardening jutsu. Thanks again.
Alrighto




Shinobi Debriefing 1: The 44th Training Ground ~ The Forest of Death!

Psst! You...Yea, you! You're probably wondering what's ahead, right? For a sma~ll fee I can let you in on a few secrets...

What? Your parents taught you not to deal with shady strangers? Baaaaah, what do they know!

Listen kid, I like you, so I'll give you a little freebie...





This memorandum contains C L A S S I F I E D information on the forest of death:

tumblr_p9pjwmvir71urljpmo1_1280.jpg

As the data-book states, this forest is dangerous even for Chunin, and we fully intend to present that danger. If you aren't careful you will die or otherwise have a very bad time.

The dangers of the forest of death include:

  • Giant Tigers
  • Giant Bears
  • Giant Snakes
  • Giant Leeches
  • Giant Centipede
  • Other Shinobi
With reference to Anko the Giant Tigers appear to be approximately 2-3 meters tall (Anko is 167 cm tall and they're clearly quite a bit taller than her), and with reference to the Giant Tigers, the Giant Bears will be around 1-2 stories tall at maximum (i.e. standing on their hind legs).


Some of these giant Tigers and Bears will function as wondering bosses that may decide to show up and ruin your day. In addition to them, the Giant Leeches and Centipedes will have broods/nests where tens or hundreds of them might reside. You are advised to avoid those areas at all costs. Most of the fauna is presumed poisonous and you'll have to forage for your own food.

latest


Note that a river runs through the forest, so that will be a possible source of food and water.



As I stated before, outside of the OCs there will be Shinobi from the various villages participating, since we don't want characters fodderized, there will be a few controlled characters running around who will be on the same level as the OCs. Zander or I will probably be controlling them.

Unlike in canon, we'll strive to have ranks mean something so you can expect a character with a given rank to have the associated strength.


Sooo...good stuff right? Listen kid, I gotta go, so I'll see you later.

My name? Don't worry about that; but, try not to die in there, okay?

Have fun~!

Giant bears and tigers, huh? That doesn't sound too ba- giant centipede?!?!?! The sound of thousands if not millions of tiny giant legs furiously scuffling around. Centipedes are basically if spiders and snakes had a baby. Horrible thought. Giant leeches?!?! What the actual hell is this!!! Oh hell no. I'm contacting the mandalorian death watch to burn this forest to the ground.

In the anime it seemed like all the characters or atleast most of them faught as squads but in this RP I have the feeling our characters are going to have the choice to go in alone.

I should have mentioned this second question sooner, but each squad in the anime/idk about the manga, only got 1 scroll each. Though it's been an extremely long time since I seen the chunin exams episodes so I could be wrong.

Thoughts?

In the canon exam, each squad did have one scroll. Since genin squads haven't been formed here yet, each genin will have their own scroll and need to get the opposite scroll in order to pass. However, if you meet up with someone during the exam, you could stick together. Of course, they still have to get the scroll they need. For example, if you're with someone who has an earth scroll while you have a heaven scroll, you still need to get your own earth scroll. If the exam is almost over and neither of them has the scroll they need, they could end up fighting each other. The same can be said if the person or group you're with needs the same scrolls. They can end up fighting each other over one scroll. Basically, while teaming up has its benefits, everyone still has to fend for themselves.

"Maybe. Maybe. We'd be a powerhouse team" Ryu Ryu thought to himself once more. "You think your team passed Kazue?" Ryu Ryu said. Ryu Ryu wondered if Kazue had an earth scroll but didn't wanna ask. Kazue's team could team up just as easy as Ryu Ryu's could.
This question is also a bit weird due to teams not having been formed in any of the villages yet lel

I thought the teams were formed already. All the teams were formed when the anime started the chunin exams. Do I need to edit?

As Retro said, we’re sticking with a rough draft of the original story, but that’s about it.
We intend to...fix issues in the original storyline here and there.

This simply means that the rp will gradually break away from canon more and more over time, so if you’ve got questions about something plot-related, bring em up.
 
Ill probably have more in the future, but for now the only question crosses my mind now. Will Rpers be taking scrolls from NPCs or each other? I'm assuming this may be up to the individual RPer. Having a scroll taken means now you gotta get both scrolls. Thoughts?

Sidenote: I'll go ahead and make that edit.
You can take scrolls from either, but it would be preferable to go after another OC. If you’re unable to do so for some reason or end up losing a scroll, then going after an NPC should be fair as well. However, Kyuu and Zandy will probably be controlling those NPCs, so going for them definitely won’t be an easy pass lel
 
Alrighty then, I'll start with my character:

I'll be filling out my character sheet throughout the night.

Name:
Momo Kuchinashi

Gender:
Female

Age:
14

Nationality:
Shimogakure

Ninja Rank: (If Applicable)
Genin

Nature:
Yin Release, Water Release

Kekkei Genkai (If Applicable):

Allows the user to develop and nurture a second consciousness/parallel mind. Once this consciousness is created, it heightens the user’s spiritual awareness, granting them increased sensitivity to the emotions of others. However, the overabundance of Yin chakra in the body does result in its users being sickly and often falling ill.
  • Wielders of this kekkei genkai can sense the emotions of those within the vicinity (can be blocked)
  • The parallel mind allows the user increased resistance to genjutsu as the second mind can snap the first out of a genjutsu. Strong genjutsu could trap both minds at once.
  • Parallel mind allows the user to perform with increased dexterity.

Hiden (If Applicable): N/A

Appearance:

She was a pretty girl; not just pretty, but gorgeous and stunning. She was taller than most, with slender limbs and pale, pearlescent skin. Her thin frame and pale features made her seem delicate, sickly even; as if a stray gust could blow her away. In spite of that impression, she was by no means gaunt or emaciated. It was on the contrary. She was as shapely as one would expect of a girl her age; though her clothing did here curvature no favors.

Momo wears a short navy-blue kimono with icy-blue peach patterns that cover her torso, from exposed shoulders to bare thighs. The kimono hangs loosely, but it tightly held together by a silver obi wrapped around the girl’s waist that mimics the icy-blue peach patterns on her kimono. In addition, Momo wears accessories: a white banbi, shin guards, wrist gauntlets, and specialized shoes all lined with fur.

Personality:

Personal History:

Clan History (If Applicable):

-Stats-
Strength: 6
Speed: 15
Durability: 6
Dexterity: 15 (+5)
Stamina: 6
Control: 10
Ninjutsu: 15
Genjutsu: 5
Taijutsu: 12

In the meanwhile, we want to talk about Shimogakure itself. The village has probably been around for...maybe 60 years or so. The land of frost doesn't have much to go off of in terms of history. The only thing we know about it is that the Frost Daimyo taxes his already poor citizens and then spends the money on prostitutes.
Heaven Scroll!
Name: Hideki Sho
Gender: Male
Age: 15
Nationality: Shimogakure (Hidden Frost Village)
Ninja Rank: Genin

Chakra Nature: Lightning/Earth
Kekkei Genkai (If Applicable): N/A
Hiden (If Applicable): N/A

Appearance: Hideki’s natural hair color is a dark brown, but about half of it is dyed a golden blonde. Usually because he can’t be bothered to cut or redye his hair until someone tells him to. Most of the time, he doesn’t even bother to brush it except for funerals, and it usually hangs limply around his shoulder length. His eyes are a murky brown that matches his hair, appearing like muddy water. His skin tone is lightly tanned, and he is thin and wiry, standing at about 5’7”.

Hideki’s outfit prioritizes comfort above all else, a good analogy for his whole philosophy. He wears loose khaki pants, secured at the bottom with bandage wrappings. He hardly ever wears shoes, since they tend to hinder his already-clumsy feet, instead opting to wrap them halfway with bandages. On top, he wears a dark blue-gray jacket with a mink fur-rimmed hood half-zipped up. The cuffs of his sleeves are also fur-trimmed, and a small furred charm that looks similar to a mink’s tail dangles from his left breast pocket. He doesn’t wear a shirt under, but wears a white scarf with his shinobi headplate attached to it around his waist as a belt.

Personality/Personal History: Hideki is the definition of a free spirit, doing what he wants, when he wants to. Paired with a control freak father and a mother with fantasies of “restoring Shimo pride” is bound to cause tensions within his family. Pursued and fought over by both parents for his extreme talent in genjutsu, each wanting to use his power for their own reasons, he became a cynical and pessimistic soul with a bitter outlook on the world.

As an only child, Hideki didn’t have a sibling to turn to, nor any close friends. So when his family situation took a violent turn, he ran away to the house of a family friend and clanmate, Kirai Sho. She was like a second mother to him, and gave him refuge when he wanted to hide from his parents. She died when he was thirteen, sending him into an angry depressive spiral. He opted to enter the chunin exams without telling his family, to prove that he was his own person, and would not be controlled by anyone, least of all them.

He uses tricks of the light to play genjutsu mind games with his opponents, heightened by making the ground beneath them roll and pitch just enough that they think they are going insane. These tricks are boosted by his main weapon, mirrored strings that reflect light, usually attached to kunai (which is probably the one thing he can throw without hitting about twenty feet away from its target). His main motto when fighting is “help the enemy defeat themself.”

Despite his fierce drive to prove himself, Hideki still tends to be quite distant, not bothering to get to know people outside of their fighting styles. His attitude tends to be flippant and apathetic, unopinionated on most topics. While quick-witted, tricky, by-the-book smart, and often manipulative, he is also exceptionally clumsy, and holds the record in his village for “most falls without any visible reason” by a long shot.

Clan History (If Applicable): There is nothing particularly special about the Sho clan, other than its tendency to produce slightly more intelligent shinobi. The Sho usually grow up to become scholars or teachers, not necessarily the strongest fighters. Overall they are pretty much average in every respect. Hideki’s skill in genjutsu and photographic memory are complete flukes, and he has yet to realize his full potential.

Earth Scroll!
 
The List of Scroll Holders has been updated, the next character to join will have a Heaven Scroll...
The randomly determined holders of the scrolls are...

Heaven Scroll Holders

Earth Scroll Holders



The scrolls holders were determined very simply. All the characters were put into a list by order of their character sheets. We have 17 characters in total.

Odds-numbered characters have a Heaven Scroll, Even-numbered characters have an Earth scroll

The Forest of Death Debriefing has been updated, Giant Snakes are now a possible encounter.
Alrighto




Shinobi Debriefing 1: The 44th Training Ground ~ The Forest of Death!

Psst! You...Yea, you! You're probably wondering what's ahead, right? For a sma~ll fee I can let you in on a few secrets...

What? Your parents taught you not to deal with shady strangers? Baaaaah, what do they know!

Listen kid, I like you, so I'll give you a little freebie...





This memorandum contains C L A S S I F I E D information on the forest of death:

tumblr_p9pjwmvir71urljpmo1_1280.jpg

As the data-book states, this forest is dangerous even for Chunin, and we fully intend to present that danger. If you aren't careful you will die or otherwise have a very bad time.

The dangers of the forest of death include:

  • Giant Tigers
  • Giant Bears
  • Giant Snakes
  • Giant Leeches
  • Giant Centipede
  • Other Shinobi
With reference to Anko the Giant Tigers appear to be approximately 2-3 meters tall (Anko is 167 cm tall and they're clearly quite a bit taller than her), and with reference to the Giant Tigers, the Giant Bears will be around 1-2 stories tall at maximum (i.e. standing on their hind legs).


Some of these giant Tigers and Bears will function as wondering bosses that may decide to show up and ruin your day. In addition to them, the Giant Leeches and Centipedes will have broods/nests where tens or hundreds of them might reside. You are advised to avoid those areas at all costs. Most of the fauna is presumed poisonous and you'll have to forage for your own food.

latest


Note that a river runs through the forest, so that will be a possible source of food and water.



As I stated before, outside of the OCs there will be Shinobi from the various villages participating, since we don't want characters fodderized, there will be a few controlled characters running around who will be on the same level as the OCs. Zander or I will probably be controlling them.

Unlike in canon, we'll strive to have ranks mean something so you can expect a character with a given rank to have the associated strength.


Sooo...good stuff right? Listen kid, I gotta go, so I'll see you later.

My name? Don't worry about that; but, try not to die in there, okay?

Have fun~!
