Introduction

“….And so it was deemed that the Elements would be forever sealed from the likes men, so they may never more unleash the destruction that came when it was first released. But without the Elements, men were weak, and their numbers dwindled. So portions of the Elements were released, and man again grew into great numbers. But the centuries of hardships had made them wary of each other, and those who shared the same power came together, to seek refuge from the harsh wild. This is the origin of the Seven Nations.”
- Origin of Shinobi, Fire Library

Rules

Pretty standard. But here's some that go with the RP specifically.
- No Triple Elements (Max 2)
- You Can Not make an X-experiment profile unless you are approved by me (Gamer) and Chrono.
- No wiping out other Nations, Even if it is done realistically
- If you want to create your own small nation, please ask me or Gamer. (Vice versa)
- No Godmodding, ever
- You may not play as Codename North, as he is to crucial a role
- Play fair, this is the overall rule


You

The point of conflict is now. You are a great Shinobi, a warrior adapt in using Elements, and manipulating Chakra. Seven Elements exist, one for each nation. There are Major Elements, and Minor Elements.

Demons

Demons come from beyond the grave, searching forever for the spirits of humans. They come through gates, which can appear at random, and seek out the Souls of the living. They destroy everything in their path, and only masters have been able to close gates permanently. Demons are the most challenging thing a Shinobi will ever face.

Nations



Terrain:
The Nation of Earth is made up of three main types of land. The first, which coves more than two-thirds of it, is Desert. The second part is the rolling Hills of the Low Country, which borders on the Water Nation. This is the second largest part, but only slightly larger than the Earth Nation's Canyon Regions, which contain the smallest population of the three

Government:
The Nation of Earth has been ruled throughout the centuries by the Emperors, and the same dynasty still holds power from over a thousand years ago. They treat the citizens kindly, and so far there has been no discontent among the populous. Earth is very harsh towards foreign invaders, and brutally kills those who violate international law.



Terrain:
The Nation of Spirit is completely engulfed by a vast assortment or large trees. These surroundings serve as a natural barrier if any other nations began to attack. North East of the Nation of Earth, Spirits water supply is very limited because of its surroundings, thus, the Nation of Spirit relies upon the Earths shipments of water that come once every two weeks. Spirits demand for water from Earth is high, but they receive very little instead, therefore the Chief Commander of the Spirit Armed Militia has, under his own free-will, been formulating a plan to build an underground river made of steel and bamboo, that leads straight from the Eastern Ocean; Kohlau. This 'river' may stretch as far as four miles, and may take months of construction.
The other Nations do not know of this plan, and the Nation of Spirit is making it top-priority to keep it that way.

Government:
The Nation of Spirits' government came from a long line of dynasty eras. The first Era was the Huang Je Era, whom was overthrown by the Twae Dou. Twae Dou Era ended after a mere forty years, being overthrown by the (current) Gin Pang.
Gin Pang Dynasty is currently ruled by Lee Pang, Gins' great-great grandson, and is the longest surviving Era in the Nation of Spirit. Lee Pang, the Emperor (others call him King Pang) is a stern ruler, little humor, and never changes the look on his face. It is said the Emperor Lee Pang could look into your soul, just by staring at you, and can tell if you have committed a crime, and specifically what crime as well. This is what Lee is mostly known for, thus, his servants try not to look straight at him.

The Emperor's castle is in the northern section of the Spirit Nation, south of the castle is Nobility, and south of the Noble's is Second Class (and so on...). The nation's main entrance way is at the far end of the poorest sub-town in all the Spirit. The water brought from Earth must pass through this town to reach its destination point, and is usually robbed before reaching it (That’s why the supply is low, and the reason why Earth only comes once every two weeks.)



Terrain:
The Nation of Fire is, ironically, surrounded on three of its borders by Ice covered mountains. The Eastern edge of Fire borders on Water, and is completely covered by Ice. Since it is surrounded by the Ice Blade Mountain Range, Fire has turned the majority of its focus on training superior warriors. Due to its small population, land area, and its complete lack of rivers or oceans, it has very few warriors. However, its location is filled with vast resources, making it the target of Nations and Businesses. The Nation of Fire is surrounded by Cherry Blossom Trees, which are kept in full bloom by the Shinobi of the Nation

Military:
The Nation of Fire takes pride in its military, having never been conquered despite countless invasions. It is the Nation with the largest amount of Ninja, per capita. Currently, 60% of the Shinobi in Fire are Ninja. The other 40% come from the largest Clan known throughout the Nations, Clan Ochi. Clan Ochi has produced Fire's best and brightest, and are hailed as the heroes of the Nations. They train very few ninja however, and take their role as the regular army.

Government:
The Nation of Fire is ruled by a National Council. Representatives from the various groups in Fire meet annually at the Capital, the Ochi Palace. They discuss issues there, and debate what to implement. Those who go to this meeting are elected for each year by the masses

The Nation of
Water

Terrain:
The Nation of Water is one of the few countries that border on the Sea. It is divided into two parts by a Great River, the Great Shinobi River. The Northern section borders on the Earth Nation, and is dry towards the border, but as it comes closer to the river, it becomes very wet and Swampy.

The Southern part of the Terrain is made up of High peaked Icy Mountains, which encompass the Eastern Border of the Nation of Fire. These are constantly covered in snow and ice, and provide an enormous defense from other Nations.

Government:
The Nation of Water is run by a King, but the true power is in the Council of Generals. Water is by far the most militarized Nation, as far as numbers go. In percentage of population, it is only exceeded by Fire.




Terrain:
The Terrain in the Nation of the Wind is not quite of hilly, nor does it have any trees, other nations are still astonished by how the Nation of Wind lasted so long. Truth be told, the Wind Nation sees its vast open fields as their own kind of barrier, one that doesn't protect, but Detect. With no trees for the enemy to hide behind, of clothes to match the natural surroundings (like if a nation was invading Fire and using white clothes to cross over the mountains.) gives the nation a clear view of what is coming, long before it has arrived. The Nation of Wind lies south of the Nation of Fire, using the Ice Mountains as natural boarder. The Wind Nation may use the Ice Mountains as a natural barrier between them and Fire, but their entire main village is still several miles away; this makes Winds' northern plain an unsettling mist (The snow blows off the mountains, condensates in the air and creates mist) Whenever travelers see this mist, they know two things, One: they are near Kohlau and Two, they might be near the Wind Nation.

It is not uncommon for the Wind Nation to be attacked by demons of any sort (flying, etc...). Typically, the Wind Nation identifies its attackers in three main ways, One: If it is moving alone, Two: If, when moving, is limping, or acting strange, and Three: Its flying. When a demon is spotted, by whom-ever, the individual usually bands together with other citizens, because of the saying "Pride of the Wind." none of them decline. The mysterious figure (demon) is hunted and slain almost as soon as it was spotted. The Wind Nation doesn't have a strong army, another reason why the opposing nations wonder why they have lasted over the decades. Rather, the Nation of the Wind has a strong militia, because no one likes joining the army, usually. This is one of the Winds most best-kept secret: Decent Army, Strong Militia.

Government:
One of the more 'Democratic' nations, Wind elects its ruler by the following: Electing someone as the strongest in the Nation, all of those elected people fight in 1v1 matches until the last man, or woman, is left. He or she is then finally placed as Ruler, and given the title "Strongest"
A quicker way, however, of obtaining leadership is by challenging the current Ruler to a match, if won, the throne is yours. A challenge like this though, has never happened for years, all the citizens know the power of Strongest. The Wind's Chairs are chosen, also, by electing someone to be given that position, but the elected citizens for the Chairs do not dual for them. They are simply quizzed and questioned by the current Strongest to see if they fit the potential Strongest wants them to have. The current Chairs are: Chair of Education, Chair of Extermination, Chair of Law, Chair or Military and Chair of Advisor. The Chairs meet every three weeks to decide upon new laws to make, or the removal of laws, military size vs. citizen size (usually 'Why more people should join the military') recent attacks and how many, etc.



Terrain: The Nation of Shadow is made up of two smaller types of terrain, along with its huge Forests. The Nation of Shadow is the northern-most country in the entire continent. However, this northern area is located by an active volcano, which is constantly sending out lava. This is the location of the Capital, and it is known as the City of Night. The sun had been seen once in this City, over two thousand years ago. The air is covered continuously by clouds. The blackened land is desolate, except for the cities.

The other small terrain type is the plains to the west of Wind. It is made up of the tall grasses of Wind, but they merge steadily into the Forest of Shadow. The Forest is the largest group of trees known, and covers more than 3/4 of Shadow. It is home to many strange beasts, and is the favorite hideout of missing Shinobi.

Government: The Nation of Shadow has a very obscure government. There is some evidence collected by Fire Ninja that it is a former S-Criminal escaped from Spirit, but this is not conclusive. Shadow is a known dictatorship, but stirs up nationalism amongst its people. The Nation of Shadow has long been known as a hostile nation, and has made several covert wars with small nations, such as Spirit, and more recently Fire. Fire Ninja have reports that they might use ninja as well.



Terrain:
The Nation of Life is the smallest country, but large enough to be considered one. It is surrounded by a luscious green forest, dense, yet peaceful and welcoming. The Nation of Life is also the farthest West Country, but still some several miles from the Western Ocean. The closest Nation to Life is Fire. So, whenever the Nation of Life needs to do trade, the Nation of Fire may tax them at their own will. This 'tax' is most definitely not favored by the villagers of Life. Life considerers this the 'Devil's work' or 'Unearthly'. You may be asking yourself, why doesn't Life just travel and trade east, instead of going into the Nation of Fire? Well, simply because these people aren't the best fighters or any at all. The Nation of Life consists of a tiny army, and whose soldiers are not pressured to go into battle, if they do not wish to go even if they are a part of the 'army' they do not have to.

Government:
Life’s' government is mostly like a typical democracy, except, without one specific ruler. Ever now and then (it doesn't matter how frequent, or how little frequent) the wise, and the eldest villagers in Life village come together, usually at someone's house, and discuss what is necessary for the nation to hold and remain its power. So, if Life is this tiny Nation, why doesn't Fire just mow it over, and claims it for them??
They can, but choose not too. The Nation of Life might be the smallest Nation, but the biggest exporter for goods. Fire sees this as a great opportunity to make a great sum of money from taxes, while looking neutral towards the Nation of Life, so other Nations do not turn on them (Fire). As great of an idea this may be, it's working, and too its full potential.
Other than that, the Nation of Life is a very "down to earth" Nation, they live off the land mostly, and love it. These people are extremely easy to get along with, and enjoy the company of others, strangers or not. The Nation of Life is known for their excellent quality and quantity of goods, and their beliefs upon 'non-violence'.

Other:
Another, but small, reason that Fire does not want to take over Life, is because of a small rumor about the Nation of Life having a pill that sustains pain, a super pain-killer they think.


The Elements

Major:
Earth- Steadfast and loyal, Earth users bring the full destruction of the world itself upon their foes.
Wind- Wind users use their speed and other techniques to decimate their foes, going so far as to create tornadoes.
Water- Versatile and resilient, Water users can create ice out of almost nothing, and manipulate the very oceans and rivers.
Shadow- Shadow users can manipulate Shadows and darkness, even making physical forms from their shades.

Minor:
Fire- If one word could describe those who use fire, it would be Power. Whether it’s vaporizing their foes, or defending their home from Demons, Fire users have proven themselves as great Shinobi.
Spirit- Spirit users are healers, manipulating spirits and spiritual energy. Demons run in fear of them, and the Dead protect their lands from harm.
Life- When a Life user is in danger, all of nature comes to their aid. They live in a symbiosis with the world, creating life where they go and receiving protection in return.

Handsigns are used for controlling basic and midlevel techniques.
Seals are used for extremely high level techniques.

No handsigns or seals are needed for minor tasks, or Chakra manipulation.

Beast Alignments

Dragon - Dragons are very smart, and very strong. However, they aren't very fast, and tend to take lots of hits, but the blows they dish out are enormous.

Wolfs - Wolfs are another smart animal, and are very fast. However, those aligned to it usually have low defensive capabilities, and Wolfs don't dish out powerful hits.

Snake - Snakes are smart, and very nimble. They are good with words, but don't land powerful blows. The symbol for snakes is a two headed serpent, which represents their ability to trap an opponent with words, and then finish them off.

Hawk - Hawks aren't as smart Wolfs, but are incredibly fast. They hit hard and move fast, but can be taken out in one powerful hit.

Ferrets - They are smart, and fast. They don't like to fight a lot, because they are bad at attacking and defending, but they can run, making them excellent spies. Ferrets are good at stealth.

Bears - Bears are like Dragons, but they aren't nearly as smart. They rely on their high stamina, and humongous strength to beat their opponents into submission.

Toads - Toads are smarter than any of the other animals, but aren't good at anything else. They have decent speed, but they usually act as Generals in the backlines of the Shinobi.

Tigers - Tigers are wise and powerful. They are the most well-balanced of the animal types, and perform a variety of tasks. They have very few drawbacks, besides their constant hunger.

Foxes - Foxes are almost exclusively in Spirit. They have no real affect on the person, besides increased speed and cleverness, but they give the person a special spirit. When in a desperate situation, Foxes are able to call on this, and become incredibly powerful. Foxes are either loved or shunned, depending on the circumstances.

Phoenix - Phoenixes are incredible fighters. They have powerful blows, and a keen grasp of tactics. They also have incredibly fast recovery rates, oftentimes they receive a small cut and it heals without blood loss. Some people are so aligned to Phoenix that they are near immortal, as their cells regenerate beyond the point of death, but only one was ever recorded in history.

Now, each animal has a certain effect on the user. They either affect the Techniques, the Body, the Spirit, or the Mind.

Techniques: Dragons, Tigers, Hawks
Body: Wolfs, Snakes, Bears, Phoenix
Spirit: Foxes
Mind: Ferrets, Toads

The X-Experiments

Amid the continent, there exist four powerful Warriors. They are stronger than any man alive, and have been known to kill thousands of Demons with just their hands. These are the X-Shinobi. They are results of a secret experiment long ago, dealing with forbidden techniques. It was headed by Shadow, and Earth is suspected of giving financial support in exchange for the results.

Codename South:
She is one of the most enigmatic, and least hostile of the Xs. South is suspected to be from the Nation of Spirit, and is the only Spirit Shinobi who can manipulate any type of Spiritual energy. She has been the only one of the Experiments to make a friendship with another creature, and currently lives with him.

Codename West:
He lies closest to where he was experimented on. Very little is known about him, but he is a confirmed Earth user. He is slow, but takes huge amounts of punishments, and is incredibly stubborn. His brute alone has been enough to break sealed doors, and capturing techniques.

Codename East:
She resides in the Desert, and is the weakest of the Xs. While she is incredibly hostile, she is most like a Ninja. She manipulates all sorts of matter, but most predominantly uses compressed sand like shards of diamonds to kill her opponent. East is an expert in stealth and cloaking techniques, and is perhaps the most dangerous to unsuspecting Shinobi.

Codename North:
Minimal Information. Existence Confirmed. Element Unknown.

A Note from Chrono Soul

This is based in ancient Japan. The technology is essentially ancient Japan. Characters that use excessive European weaponry, and other European things, will not be approved. If you add them in game, you will be warned, and if you continue, you will be banned. Please keep this RP to its original intent. Thank you.

I do realize that this is similar in many ways to Naruto, and other animes. It is supposed to be. You use Chakra, Handsigns, and Seals to focus your elements. This is not a Naruto RP, and if you make a character with a copyright name like that, you're violating the law, and the intent of this RP. I don't want to be to harsh, but me and Gamer worked for almost a month on this. Please do not ruin this.

The final thing I would like you to observe, to keep confusion down, is to put in bold at the top of your IC post where you are currently located. If it's your own area, use that name. Otherwise use existing names. Thank you.

~Chrono Soul

Creators: Chrono Soul and Gamer-Since-Birth

I want to join but I'm sorry, I don't get all of that character creation. I will name my character Kamui Hayashi, a Fire user, but I have some questions before I make a profile.

1. What do you mean by term '' face''? Should I explain how it looks or post a pic? Are these characters anime -like?
2. Bloodline Limit. I would put some name for an eye tehnique and it can only see oponents if they are fast so with this tehnique he can keep up with them. Yes it reminds of Sharingan but can I use it? It cannot copy or anything though...
3. Specialty? What kind of tehniques? Naruto like? Or should I make my own tehniques?
4. Are swords allowed? Shuriken or kunai?
5. What is Additional Information? Can you give me an example

I'm sorry that I have to ask you all of this but as you stated no one want's to mess this up.
And your RP sounds really good.

Name: Race

Age: 21

Clothing: He wears white silk underneath of obsidian black light plate armour with blood red lining.

Eyes: his eyes are sapphire blue, with a infrared vision at night.

Hair: He has black and white hair, striped like a tigers, as well as light fur on his body that are is white with black stripes.

Face: He has a simple, yet, "cute" face, though, his left eye has a scar over it.

Build: He is quite well built, about 7.5 feet, and weighs about 400lbs, he is all muscle, though quick.

Nation of Origin: Wind

Elements: He controls both wind and shadows, combining them for a most deadly combo.

Beast Alignment: Tiger

Bloodline Limit: He has extremely keen senses, such as hearing, touch, and sight. This includes a sixth sense, the ability to "feel" the presence of your foe. This becomes active when facing an apponent whos' movements can not be tracked by regular motives. As well as this, speed is also increased, however, it can only last about 20 minutes, due to the amount of chakra used.

Specialty: His specialty is the use of the his Dual Katanas. In which he will raise and animate many copys of himself, each is deadly, does this by using wind to cut in place of the shadow blades of his copys. AKA: Shadows Fury. Another of his specialties, is his "Air Dark Ball". This works by him creating a ball of air, then wrapping it in shadows, the shadows hold the ball in its form, it is then launched at the foe with a tremendous burst of chi, the air will then begin to spin violently enough to tear limbs from the human body, though not kill.

Personality: Race is a kind man, though, he may appear quite threatning. He has very little been treated human, because of his massive size, and strange fur. So, he can be the quite type, but once he gets to know you, he proves to be both wise, and clueless, all at once.


History: When Race lived a normal wind citizen life, until he was 17. He had learned from an old man, two deathly, and ferocious skills that required him to learn both the skills of wind, and shadow. (His speacialtys) Soon he left his home for an isolated location known as Forest of Shadows. There he found the old man again, and the old man tought him both nthe ways of wind, and shadows. Race was a quick, and grower, soon he out powered his older master. The old man later was assassinated. This hit Race hard. Race searched for the killer until he came upon an unknown nation, there, he killed the killer of his master. He now lives in those woods, between the wind nation, and the shadow nation.

Additional information: he gained his fur from his training in the arts of the tiger style fighting technique. He his well skilled with his dual katanas. As well, he knows a little, though not much of fire, just enough for a small campfire in the rain, but with wind, it become a blaze.

That last sentence can be erased if it isn't allowed, It's just a thought, not really a third a element, just using wind to take advantage of other elements. Oh, and tell me of any other problems with my character, and I wil fix them.

Going along with your questions,
1. Face: Simply, facial features, maybe a scar (like Nekos' character) or a lazy eye. Etc..
2. Sure, your blood line will be fine, just specifie it when you post it. (Like you did there)
3. Specialty, is kind of like Narutos Rasegan, he learned it and it was not passed down to him from blood.
4. Of course! Ancient Japan, if me and/or Chrono find a musket or something.. then we have a problem.
5. Add. Info, is like "Hes a good cook" or "Likes to sing in the shower." Get my point? lol
*The Addiction info truely wouldn't be "singing in shower, that was just a figure of speach.*

###
Neko, approved. About the last sentance: I believe it is okay, unless Chrono says otherwise just be sure to Never use a fire-based attack in the IC please. Not trying to be harsh, just making sure the rules aren't broken.

Personality: Quiet, little friends. However, Echo enjoys having a good conversation, either with a stranger or friend.

History: Echo doesn't have any memory of an actual family. Echo grew up in a 'group home' with other children. These group-homes are bands of children living together, supporting eachother, and are like family. Usualy children who wander the streets alone without a family are recruited into a home. These homes are not run by adults, only children.
The group-home Echo grew up in was a poor part of the Nation of Wind, the children worked near, and with the local blacksmith for a living. Here is where Echo learned how to smith.

Echo trainned under the blacksmith, who's name he never learned, he only knew him as Master, and Sir. Echo trainned from the age of 7 to 18, right up until the blacksmith grew old and writhered away slowly after Echos' 18th birthday. The man in his will, the entire smith shop and his house to Echo, for, he had no one else to give it too. Echo gratefuly accepted his offer of house and smith and shortly moved all of his belongings out of the group-home, and into his house, taking all of his borthers and sister with him.
Echo turned 20, and he realized that the children he once knew, grew old as well and didn't need him around. So, Echo left the house and left his siblings to care for it. Before finalizing his departure, Echo spent half a year living inside the smith, a weapon to protect himself against the foe's that lay outside the gates. Finaly, it was done. His sword was not the average katana like every shinobi carried, or a tiny kunai. He called it, Cleaver. His Cleaver weighed 110lbs, was six feet in length, and three feet in width, as well as four inches thick. This was his most valuable creation, the one he put all of his 11years in apprenticeship of skill into. Echo carries Cleaver slung over his back in a sheath he molded from sheeps skin.

Personality: Joyful, cheeful. Has a strange personality and talks differnetly than everyone in any nation. Scared of demons.

History: Thends' family grew up in the center of the Naiton of Life. Their family wasn't poor, nor overly-rich. Just you averaeg family with a hard working father and a stay-at-home mom. Thend was 17 when him and his mother was outside of their house, gardening in the backyard. "Attension! Attension! A Demon has broken through our defences! All womand and children are to remain Inside at ALL times! I repeat.." This messege came from a loudspeaker set up in the middle of the town, and immediatly, mothers rushed their children inside. However, Thends' mother wanted to relive the 'glory days' before the birth of her child, when her and her husband were young, agile and strong. Slaying weak demons for fun.
"Mother, Mother! Come inside! It's not safe!" Yelled Thend from the backdoor, his mother simply waved her hand telling him she'll be alright. Thend watched from the backdoor window.
The demon appeard infront of Thends' mother. It started as a haze, but cleared within seconds and the demon had arrived. It had short jagged teeth, thing little legs but an overly muscular torso and arms. It had hardly and hair on its head and yelled out an ear-peircing shreek shortly after its arrival. Then had to cover his ears, but watching his mother, she didn't.
The battle begun when the demon clenched its right hand into a fist and swing violently down upon their garden, where Thends' mother stood. She evaded easily and took out her gardening knife to attempt to hack away at him. The demon brought back his arm slowly, giving Thends' mother a big opening for attacks. She took it, launching herself at the foe and swinging the blade up and down, left and right, as well as short quick jabs. This merely scratched the demon however and would take awhile to peirce it.
The demon swung down with his left hand now, missing again, and Thends' mother took the next opening, confident in hitting its face to do some real damage. Surprisingly, Thend's mother was caught in mid-launch by the demons left hand. It seemed that the demon had ony faked his 'slowness' in bringing back his arm. A trick.
"Mother! Nooo!" Cried out Thend, as his mother was crushed to death in the demons large hands.

The demon dropped her and she landed on the patch of roses they had just recently planted in the ground, dead. Thend looked at his dead mother, horror-struck. Thend ran outside to his mothers aid even if she was dead, the demon thought of Thend as its next victim. The demon charged at Thend looking like it was laughing until it had came to a dead stop. Thend stopped running and listened, the sound of a flute was heard echoing throughout the town. The demon violently looked around him in search for the noise maker, who was keenling standing ontop of the roof of Thends' house.
It was Thends' father, Thend looked at him in astonsihment, wondering how he was able to play the flute so well. But Thend's attension immediatly whent back to the demon standing twenty feet infront if him. It was still searching for the noise-maker, not looking up at the roof. The ground started to shake slightly and Thend saw that the flowers tha him and his dead mother planted only minutes ago, were growing and blooming. Finaly, the whole garden was a field of red, whit and pink roses. Thend looked around awe-struck, How did they..? He thought.
"This is for my wife..." Said his father from upon the roof. The demon looked up and finaly saw him.
"And this.." The father said, while landing on a patch of pinkr oses, "Is for coming after my son, Thend!" He raised his arms. At that moment, the flowes start to (What seemed like to Thend) solidify, becoming as hard as steel. The demon began charging at Thend's father, but Thends' father already won the battle. Thends' father took a few steps back, some forward and some to the side, while moving his arms, almost like dancing. He ended his 'dance' by pointing his fingers at the demon who was nearly inches away and immediatly the peddles on the flowers sprung towards the demon. The peddles peirced every limb on its body and made the demon fall over onto his stomachm not being able to hold his own weight when his leg muscles were torn. The battle was over, the demon layed on the ground, bleeding green ooze and its right leg twitched now and then. Pretty soon Thend saw the demon slowly dissapear, and its blood desinigrate into a purple smoke. It was dead.
"Where's mothers body?!" Asked Thend.
"She is one with the earth, son." His father replied.
"Father?"
"Hmm?"
"Could you teach me that?"

Additional Information: Likes to sell his 'earthly' subsatnces. Comes in pill form.

History: Katamari was born in the nation of Shadow. Since his family lived relatively close to an active, and violent, volcanoe, most of his younger days were spent in city evacuations. For as long as he could remember until he was eleven, his parents would take him to their summer home at least 80 miles away from their home near the volcanoe. Once the volcanoe was noted as 'sleeping' they would once again travel back to their true home. After eleven years of this Karamri grew weary of the seemingly pointless travels.

When he reached fourteen years of age, he argued with his parents, for he did not want to leave their summer house. He managed to get them to allow him to stay there and they would visit them during the summer. They left the house care to him while they were gone. Not much communication was done between his parents and he. They began to grow further apart until one day Katamari heard terrible news. The volcanoe had errupted unexpectedly and the city where his parents lived was flooded with lava and ash.

Angry, Katamari foolishly went to the Head of the city and complained about the lack of warnings given of before volcanoe eruptions. The Head dismissed him, angered by the rashness of this youth. However, Katamari refused to leave, forcing the Head to forcibly remove him from his mansion. Katamari hit the ground hard on his right eye, causing it to swell.

Swearing to never let what happened to his parents, regardless of how far apart they had grown, for he still loved them, happen to other people, he entered into the Dojo once he grew of age, which was 19. He trained hard and progressed well, uncovering many talents. He had the cunning of a wolf, and mastery of the shadows, though he had much to learn still.

Additional Information: He carries a long Scimitar at his side to be used in battle. For a while he even trained with a katana, but found he prefered the scimitar.



-They were taking place in the X-experiments, and those people were to be untouched, so is it still okay to be of Shadow origin?

Name: Haseo Hayashi

Age: 22

Clothing: He wears a black cotton shirt covered by leather armor with a dragon shaped shoulder pads. Long red scarf covers his neck. Has a dark blue pants that are quite shabby.

Eyes: His eyes are dark green

Hair: He has a medium hard, gelled back white hair.

Face: Nothing exceptional, just above average looking.

Build: He has a fairly muscular body

Nation of Origin: Nation of Fire

Element(s): Fire

Beast Alignment: Dragon

Bloodline Limit (if any): Washiboku, a bloodline limit that runs in Hayashi family. It is an eye technique that is able to detect enemy presence in a larger distance then average human sight. It also tracks opponent’s movement making the user to see and detect enemy’s moves. This technique uses medium amount of Chakra. By activating Washiboku, eyes from Hayashi family shines in bright green color. Haseo has not mastered this technique yet…

Specialty: Haseo mastered some basic fire tehniques. Mostly are offensive types. Burning Whip is his favorite technique. It creates a whip of fire in each hand that he can use for multiple tasks, like to grab on to something etc. He is currently learning Souryuuha (Dragon Strike) one of the most ultimate moves for the users od Dragon Alignment and in his clan. But this move is too much for him to handle so he doesn’t use it until he fully masters it.

Personality: Haseo is a silent type of person. He doesn’t like people interfering with his life and telling him what to do ( except for his father in the early childhood) even if he is aware that sometimes he needs help, but he would never ask for it. He can appear cold sometimes to people because he likes solitude and would leave his group to be alone. He enjoys nature. But under that cold attitude lies an honorable shinobi. Haseo is smart and strong-headed. He protects his fellow companions no matter the cost and would gave his life for those who he cares the most.

History: Born under the name of Hayashi, he was destined to became a shinobi like the rest of his family. He was father was a harsh teacher so it was he who influenced on Haseo’s personality. In that family it was a custom to be teached by your relative. His older brother was already an excellent ninja. Kamuyo was his brother called. He brough many victories to the land of Fire so the father wanted Haseo to be like him. Haseo was an excelent student but he didn’t had the potential like his older brother. That’s why Haseo’s father liked Kamuyo better and hence one of the reasons why Kamui was a little jealous. Later when they were both in some mission, Haseo and his brother, they encountered some pretty powerful foes. Because of Haseo’s recklessness Kamuyo sacrifices his left arm to save his younger brother. In the end they were victorious but Haseo wasn’t happy with all of that. His brother didn’t feel any hatred toward his brother but Haseo felted bad nevertheless. He promised that he would train and think before he acts. After some timey he did become better. He was able to think on his own and mastered the basics of fire tehniques. Haseo and his brother are still one of the better ninjas in the land of fire to this day…

Additional Information: He is trained in using the weapon called Kunai. Weather he uses them up close or from the distance he has fully mastered the usses of those deadly weapons. Haseo carries 8 Kunais around his waist.

Name: Dimmu Atrum

Age: 20

Clothing: He wears a black leather suit which covers his whole body. There are three small belts around his left and right biceps, and there are also three small belts around his thighs. On his hands, he wears black leather gloves and on his feet, military boots. Around his waist there is a broad belt with kunais attached to it.

Eyes: The entire eye, the pupil and everything around the pupil is black. This is due to his bloodline limit.

Hair: Long black hair, reaching the middle of his back.

Face: Very pale, flawless face. Lips are a bit redish, not make-up red, rather a natural red.

Build: Stands at 188 cm and weighs 80 kg. Slim and athletic.

Nation of Origin: Shadow

Element(s): Shadow

Beast Alignment: Wolf

Bloodline Limit (if any): Kage-boushi. Kage-boushi bloodline limit enables the user to see through any object. Also, he can see through smoke, fog, darkness. It is always active and through years the user develops the technique so it uses minimal amounts of chakra. It becomes active when a child, who possesses this bloodline limit, is born. Due to that, children who do not have an amount of chakra needed to maintain the technique, die shortly after birth.

Specialty:
-Dimmu has an ability called The Flux of Darkness. When he executes this technique, a dark mass starts coming out of his palms and by controlling it with his chakra he can hurl it towards his opponent and envelop him. The mass travels at enormous speed and only extremely fast ninjas can evade it. The effect is that it can drain a little amount of chakra from an opponent and give it to the user. When it envelopes the opponent it lasts only for a few seconds, and the opponent cannot move.
-Dimmu's second ability is that he can mold his body into a shadow. That shadow can be of a tree, a person or an object, practically anything that can cast a shadow. Mainly used for gathering information, he can use it as a trap or when fighting. He can hurl himself from the shadow he is in at the opponent always having the element of surprise. While he is in a shadow he cannot be hurt, but also he can do nothing in that state as well. This technique drains a lot of chakra while he is in a moving shadow, but when the shadow is stationary, like with trees and objects, it doesn't use up a lot of chakra. Also, he can move from one shadow to another without being seen which too uses a lot of chakra.

Personality: Calm, silent and rational are the major three characteristics which describe him. He doesn't like attention and likes not being addressed to. Thinks before he says anything, if he says anything at all. Does not do anything if he does not see the purpose for doing it. Can sometimes put a vague smile but most of the time his face is expressionless.

History: His mother told him of his older brother once. The brother he had never met due to the bloodline limit. She told him that when his brother had been born he died shortly after because he was incapable of maintaining the Kage-boushi. That story didn't hit him but he found himself wondering later on, how would it be if he had a brother. There was no point in thinking about it so he forgot about it eventually. The story was carved into his memory of course, but presented no meaning. He developed his techniques fast because he was talented. If he wasn't he would have been dead when he was born. Because of the so called "curse" of the Kage-boushi bloodline limit, there are not many of them. Only a few and the ones he knows of are his parents. His parents never talked or mentioned anyone other than them who had the same bloodline limit. Maybe they didn't know or maybe they wanted it to be a secret or maybe there was a higher purpose. When Dimmu was fifteen, his parents tried for another child. This time it was a girl and she too died. It mentally destroyed his mother so his father took her and went to the mountains to nurse her. Dimmu felt sorry for what had come to pass, but never showed any emotion. Going with his parents was not an option and his father understood that.

Due to his parents' departure, he took care of himself from when he was fifteen until now. During that time he also trained and perfected his techniques. To make money, he did a few "abstract" missions for a man whose identity he never found out. It was mostly information gathering, but there were some delicate situations in which he had to fight.

Additional info: Due to his alignment with the wolf, he moves fast and is able to evade attacks. Also has good stamina but his punches and kicks do not deal much damage and he takes much damage when punched or kicked. Which means that taijutsu is his weak side.

Edited my post, with my own char's.
__________________________________

*Albel, Chrono and I will look into your character together and discuss stuff about it.
Its not approved(yet) , but its not rejected. Confusing? Aint it? xD

*Dragon & Cloud; Approved, unless Chrono says otherwise.

*To Dragon: The "X's" are from various Natoins, You are allowed to be in any Nation you would like. If someone would like to be an X, please pm Chrono or myself. Try to ask Chrono however, he knows more about the X's than I do. But, to be an X, you have to be approved by both of us(Chrono and Myself). So if Chrono agrees, I would also. Usualy.

I think thats all for tonight. Unless I missed something. Aw well, it is late. Goodnight.

Didn't expect this much people. It's cool, a nice wrap up to my already awesome day. Sorry I wasn't on yesterday (we already have enough to get this approved, at least once me and Gamer make our profiles).

And yes Neki, just remeber, you can make fire, but it can't be a Fire-based attack. If your wind creates enough friction for fire, I don't mind, but if you go and make him shoot fireballs out of his mouth.....no.

As for the other questions, yes they can be Xs not involved in the experiments (or failed ones). Those I don't mind, but they should be realistic. No happy go lucky person would come out of those things (think torture).

Anyway, Cloud and Dragon are both approved. Albel, I have a slight concern with your technique, mostly just checking. It does use a large amount of chakra right? Not his entire reserve, but enough so that he would have a limit (like Rasengan or Chidori). Other than that, it's fine.

Now, you do know if you want you can have more than one character. If you have one or 50, I don't mind, as long as the stories good. I have two.

Name: Kuyoshi Ochi

Age: 27

Clothing: Most commonly, he wears a black robe lined with hair of a Demon. His clan insignia is on the back of the robe. Either on his head, or hanging on his back is a peasants hat, which he uses to conceal his identity in the other nations. When he defends his country, he wears the normal armor of a Ochi Shinobi (think ANBU).

Eyes: Unlike most of the Ochi clan, whose eyes are either black or blue from birth, his eyes are completely red. His pupil is encirled by a ring of what is normally black, but changes color when he uses his bloodline.

Hair: His hair is relatively long, going to about his neck. It is jet black, which is common in the main branch of the Ochi Clan.

Face: His face is of normal composition, although a bit tanner than most. The only distinguishing feature is the slight scar going down his left eye, from a kunai accident sometime back.

Build: He is very compact, that is to say, very strong, yet only appears to be average.

Nation of Origin: The Nation of Fire

Element(s): Fire and Wind

Beast Alignment: Wolf

Bloodline Limit (if any): His bloodline limit belongs only to the main branch of Ochi, Kuutonshao. Those who carry it are incredibly strong, at birth if they cannot control the technique their body is consumed by fire. Those who master it are able to become incredibly powerful, but it takes a different form in each person. Kuyoshi's has given him the ability to immolate himself, which covers his body in fire for a short time. In doing so, he is resistant to fire in his normal state, except for the hottest fires. His bloodline takes an incredible amount of Chakra, which is often drawn from natural sources around him. The second ability it has given, is the ability to manipulate chakra to a high degree. He has perfected this, and is able to seal chakra in his body, creating a massive reserve for immolation.

Specialty: Since he is both Wind and Fire alligned, he is special to the Nation of Fire, and escpecially his Clan. Using his dual allignment, he has perfected his own technique, a combination of his two elements, and his high Chakra control. The technique is Kuyokaze, which he calls forth from his mouth. He uses it in combination with his immolation technique, and creates a burning wind that causes widespread destruction.

His second specialty is quite simple, his fire is black. He was given his name due to the fact that he was the first person in a hundred years to shoot black fire, which is far hotter than normal fire. Combined with his incredible speed, he makes an ideal ninja.

Personality: Perhaps he's a bit cocky, but he's also incredibly gifted, and he knows it. He jokes around between battles, but when it comes down to it, he turns very serious, very fast. When he fights, there is no jokes, and there is no banter. There is only observation, and silence.

History: Kuyoshi is special. His history is unlike any other. When he was born, his mother and father, along with most of the hospital, were consumed by fire, yet he remained unharmed. This had an adverse effect on everyone who knew that fact, for they thought he was responsible. His childhood was unpleasant, and he dropped out of school. The head of his clan taught him personally, and he decided to enroll in the Ninja academy. He found his knack there, and quickly gained respect among his classmates. While some still hate him for what they think he did, he doesn't mind anymore. After graduating for basic level ninja, he began his career, gaining alot of promotions. His intellect, combined with his techinque and unique fighting style, allowed him to quickly become and elite Ninja. He is currently on a mission to assasinate a man in the Nation of Earth, where he met his partner.

Additional Information: He has a habit of cracking his neck, along with other bones. He does this without fear, since he is so alligned with wolf that he has thicker skin, enough to act as armor. He regenerates slightly faster than a normal human, but only because he exercises constantly.

-----------

Name: Kohaku of Sand

Age: 26

Clothing: He wears only the robes of the Desert Nomads, along with the belt that carries his weapons. The only other special is his death mask, which identifies him as a Shinobi.

Eyes: His eyes are a light blue, as if they reflected the sky above the desert.

Hair: His hair is black, and kept messy. It is usually covered by a hat like Kuyoshi's anyway, so he pays little attention.

Face: He is face is one that would belong to a prince, except for his eyes. His eyes seem to reflect on his face, showing every hardship he has ever endured.

Build: His is average, but like Kuyoshi, very compact.

Nation of Origin: Earth (Desert)

Element(s): Wind and Earth

Beast Alignment: Uncommon out of Spirit, he is alligned to Fox

Bloodline Limit (if any): His bloodline limit is unnamed, but consists of highly advanced Chakra control and manipulation

Specialty: He specializes, like most people in the Desert, in manipulatin Sand. His fighting style keeps him motionless, expect for the movements with which he directs the Sand (I'm tempted to say that he carries it in a giant Gord, but no). His only real special technique is the ability called Kazesabaku. The opponent is wrapped in wind and sand, and then cut into ribbons. The technique takes huge amounts of control, and a large amount of Chakra.

Personality: He is very, very cold, and yet is easy to tolerate. Somehow he gets along with Kuyoshi's healthy ego. That and he enjoys killing people.

History: He talks very little about his history, except that he hated it. It is possible that he wiped out his family, but that is unknown. He met Kuyoshi when he was walking around in the Desert, fighting one of the Demon Sandworms. Kuyoshi watched as Kohaku completely obliterated the Demon, and asked if Kohaku wanted to join. He said yes, and they became partners and friends.

Additional Information: He is only called Kohaku of the Desert by Kuyoshi, other people just address him as either sir or Kohaku.



i'll finish this soon, takin a break for now.

Name: Kamuyo Hayashi

Age: 27

Clothing: He wars a black robe which is covered with small belts all over his body. He wears one right shoulder pad with a shape of a bird. He has a spiked black glove on his right hand.

Eyes: His eyes are dark green

Hair: He has a long white hair

Face: Has a scar in a straight line on his cheek and around his eyebrow

Build: He has a muscular body but he can still move fast

Nation of Origin: Nation of Fire

Element(s): Fire and Wind

Beast Alignment: Phoenix

Bloodline Limit (if any): Washiboku, a bloodline limit that runs in Hayashi family. It is an eye technique that is able to detect enemy presence in a larger distance then average human sight. It also tracks opponent’s movement making the user to see and detect enemy’s moves. This technique uses medium amount of chakra. By activating Washiboku, eyes from Hayashi family shines in bright green color. Kamuyo has mastered this tehnique to the 2nd level, which use a lesser amount of chakra and can follow opponents moves much better.

Specialty: Kamuyo is a master in using elment of Fire. Though he knows some basic forms of Wind he doesn’t have any strong attacks with it. But he has learned how to combine wind and fire making a deadly combo. Souryuuha (Dragon Strike) is a strongest move in his clan. The user forms a series of seals and puts one hand on the ground. The circle of fire embarks the user and it takes a few moments to fully spreads to user’s hand. When that done the user will control an devastating energy of fire in his hand which is completely burning but not hurting the user. When you attack with that technique the fire on user’s hand gains the shape of a Dragon’s head and that’s why it is called a Dragon Strike (similar to Chidori and Rasengan). Kamuyo’s second fire technique would be a Dragon Breath which user unleashes a breath of fire from his mouth. It uses only one-hand seal but it’s not nearly as strong as Kuyokaze. He has learned to use the mystic tehnique to create his other hand for a limited time as he needs it for using the techniques with two hands.

Personality: Even though Kamuyo is a silent type of person like his brother, he is much more cheerful. As he was genius from his younger days many have prized him so he would travel around to polish his skills. Many of his teachers, except his father, were a kind ones so in the end Kamuyo ended with a worm heart too. He loves his younger brother Haseo and they would often train together. But when in fight Kamuyo have no mercy towards his enemies. He often teaches and trains the young ones.

History: It is as same as Haseo's since they are brothers. The only difference is that he saw a greater deal of battles than his brother. Kamuyo lost his left arm when he was protecting Haseo. Even without his arm he is still a superb shinobi.

Additional Information: N/A

Name: Oni

Age: N/A

Clothing: He wears no shirt, and tight black pants. He wears combat boots up to his thighs, which the front is covered with a metal plate, allowing a shin splitting shin kick.

Eyes: He has none, instead, he wears a blindfold, to hide the results of the experiments.

Hair: He has short dark hair, about a shadow black.

Face: His face is rather simple looking, except the kanji for fire, burned onto his forhead.

Build: He is about 6'7" and weighs only 160lbs, though, he is very muscular.

Nation of Origin: He doen't know it, but it is fire.

Elements: Fire wind

Bloodline limit: He is because of the lose of his eyes, and the experiments, he can see his surroundings the sense of feel, and sound. He also has the ability to move his body in the form of fire, this is deadly if he aimed at you, though, if used for to long, it can quite easily kill him. He can also store large amounts of chakra, using his bones as a lighting rod for it.

Beast alignment: Fox

Speacialty: His first ability, is one in which he creates a small tornado of fire, this drains chakra quite quickly. His other ability is to send a simle fire ball at the enemy, but when it hits, it explodes. This also uses a lot of chakra.

Personality: He prefers not to be messed with.

History: All he can remeber is the lab he was going boom, as he ran to mountains. From there he traveled to the wind nation, where he earned the name Oni meaning demon, when they saw his horns he had grown, as a side effect of them trying to store more chakra in his body using his bone structure.

other info: he carries a large blade, about 6ft in length.

I suppose I have not made myself quiet clear, Neko.
You are Not allowed to play as an X experiment unless given the 'thumbs-up' by Chrono AND Myself.
If you have already talked with Chrono about this, I would like to discuss it with him as well.
Wich concludes me to denying your character until further notice.

As for all other readers, you are allowed to make characters up wih your own intensions and the abilities you wish to apply the character with, as long as it is not god-modding of Any sort. You are NOT allowed to create a profile for an X-experiment unless approved by Chrono And Myself.
(Basicaly saying, ask us if you are allowed to make a profile for an X, then if your approved, make. DONT make one, then ask us. Ask us First.)

**OOC: Where is Chrono at? Anyone know?**

sorry, thought i edited that part off, he is not an x experiment, though, he was a prisoner of war, and they used him as a test subject, he is not an x though.

I guess some people just can't think of any kind of character but to be the almighty one. Test subject, prisoner, whatever... You still made him powerfull Oni. If he can do that then I'll make my character to do the damn Genki Dama technique!
Are my other character approved or what?

Ok I have edited my character, so he is not, "almighty" as cloudx put it. He is simply a man who can store more chakra then usual, besides that, he uses his brain to manipulate wind and fire for deadly combos.

Alright, sorry about not being on every night, lacrosse tryouts have wiped me out. Wensday was a straight hour of running (And i'm a goalie).

Anyway, Neki, i'm still gonna have to confer with Gamer on this, since it does deal with the Xs. Originally I thought he would be somebody who hadn't been experimented on, but that's changed. So Gamer, you'll be recieving a PM from me.

Cloud, your character is good to go. Just be sure that you don't overuse Dragon Strike (no, you can't use it to cook ramen). Just a reminder, doubt you'll overdo it though. I have a bit of concerns with Phoenix alligned people, but i'll take that into PM.

Back to Neki for a second, but more of an announcment for everyone. This is really my fault, since I didn't put this in the Nation of Fire info section, but they do not surrender. Fire Shinobi have never surrendered the a foreign nation in their entire history, so Neki, your character would have had to be taken at a young age. When me and Gamer talk about your character, we'll send you a message with any additional information you will need.

Anyway, to prevent this from happening again, No, there was no other successful X-experiment besides the four. Others were either to instable, or simply exploded. So any character whos a failed X would have to be very mentally unstable (fits of madness, etc.)

Now in Neki's last post, he said that his chars braing manipulates Fire and Wind. Wrongo. I'm posting this here, and on either saturday or sunday, i will be updating the intro post with this, along with a few other things.

Chakra in this world is drawn from three places. Your body (which does not include your brain), your Spirit, and your surroundings. Your brain has no effects on any technique, aside from illusions.

Now, each of the three have a different effect on you or your surroundings.

Body Chakra is very limited, but it grows when you grow stronger. It also recovers the fastest, and is very versitile, not needing to be accessed at will. Body Chakra is used passively for speed and strength, but can be used actively to fuel techniques, or something like Primary Lotus.

Spirit Chakra is what you're mainly using for techniques. It cannot be used for muscular enchancement, or healing techniques, but is used for something like Kuyokaze or Dragon Strike. It's the main source of Chakra for almost every technique, and is quite large. It cannot be used passively for anything, and has to be accessed, removing it's versitilaty.

Surrounding Chakra, or Foreign Chakra, draws on the life force of others. This CANNOT BE USED ALL THE TIME. The technique for this is used conciously, and require very complicated seals only known to the leaders of the Nations and the Xs. It is a destructive technique, forbidden to all but a few Shinobi, since it KILLS WHATEVER IS AROUND THE USER. It replenishes Chakra, repairs wounds, and gives the user incredible power, but oftentimes the Chakra is too much, and the user dies. It can be guarded against by proficient users even at a reletively low level, so it makes an inefficient fighting style. I'm going to say it plainly now DO NOT USE THIS. IT IS SIMPLY FOR IF YOU WANT AN ENEMY TO USE IT NOT FOR YOU.

And when is this RP going to start?

Um, the x character, is a seperate charachter from the first one i made, i don't if you already knew this or not and i guese i messed in some places. I will fix it up best i can.

I never overdo things, just make sure that others don't too. I hope that there won't be any wind users mastering the high level of fire tehniques, for an example. And if you can, try to keep the story active all the time.

This should get a start sometime (hopefuly) this weekend. So dont get your panties in a bunch Albel xD
Im awaitting Chrono's PM, but as for now, my gf is over so I have limited time for this post...

Please be sure that you fully understand the rules for X's. If unsure, re-read, and if your too lazy to do that (like me) then just PM me with questions/complaints.


#Gamer

Alright, now that the OOC has been moved into the normal RP forum, I'll be posting the IC right after i'm finished.

Neki, i'll be contacting you after that, so you can explain exactly what your situation is. Do not RP yet, wait until me and gamer approve your character.

All other approved characters can go ahead and RP. If you have any questions that deal with either Me or Gamers Characters, or invovles the world, but only for your specific character, feel free to PM us. If you think everyone needs to know it, put it here.

As far as your elements go, choose a main element. Your other one is a secondary, and is of course not as powerful.

Overall, be fair.

~Chrono Soul

A short, yet simple post.
Neko, you may IC your approved char<Race>. And only that one (for now).
Albel, your being discussed, the final word for both Neko's char(the X) and Albels' char should be here around 8o'clock estearn (Thats when I get back from work. Unless Chrono says different before-hand).

Keeping it simple~
#Gamer





++
My IC will be there after work 2morro, too late aTm.
++

You constantly keep saying to send a pm to one of you. I sent a pm to chrono a while ago and he hasn't replied since. So don't go nagging on with false intentions.

Albel, I never recieved a PM from you. The only PMs I have dealing with this topic is from Seluna and Gamer. Not from you. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say it just didn't arrive. If it had something drastically important, then resend it, but if not, me and Gamer will identify the things wrong with your character.

Also, when you post your location, please bold it, to differentiate from the actual post. Thanks.

~Chrono Soul

I was just wondering if whoever has their character set in the Shadow Nation would like to team up with my character for a while. I would pm individuals, but I don't know who's who and where they are. If anybody's interested, PM me. Thanks!

If you want, you can post here saying that you are keeping your character open, and under what conditions. This just saves you time, incase you don't want to PM to everyone. It also saves inbox room.

Alright Albel, me and Gamer voted, and since you added the Taijutsu part, your character is approved. Go ahead and start Rping!

~Chrono Soul

Bah humbug!
neko, take off your sig in the IC thread! Please!
~Thankyou.

Neki, I know your active recently, and I sent you a PM regarding your character. Your second character is not approved, and won't even be voted on until you send me that.

I'm only putting it here because it might be the system that's messed up.

Well, I've updated this roleplay onto my Drache site, and here's the [link]. I hope I added all the approved characters so far, because the approval system is quite confusing. Let me know if you want anything added or edited.

Neko, I would appreciate if you did not control my character in any way. I'll allow it just this once, but please don't determine his actions and such after this. Sorry, just nit-picky old me, but I would appreciate if you didn't use Katamari. Thanks!

Alright, I'm stopping this early on.

To all members:

Do not use another players character without their permission! If you do by accident (we are human), and they ask you to edit your post, you will do so.

If you are in a fight with their character, but they don't allow control, then use MINIMAL INTERACTION

An example would be:

Kuyoshi caught the kunai between his hands, and jumped over the shuriken, landing on the branch of a tree. He jumped towards his foe, twisiting in midair.

"That's very good Race, but not quite good enough."

He launched a black stream of flame at Race as he landed on the ground.

----------

This doesn't involve another persons character, aside from using their name. You are allowed to do that at least (it's no fun otherwise)

~Chrono Soul

Sorry about that, didn't think it was going to be an issue, won't do it again

Oh and Chrono, just forget about the x character, sorry for all the trouble i put you through, i just kinda realized that wasn't a good idea

Alright. It wasn't much trouble, character approval is easy to manage. Sprinting is not...

Anyway, just to inform you all, yes this RP will have an end. It's not continous, but there is a semi-plot. I'll be working on it with Gamer sometime (probably next month), and I have an idea. But when the time is right, this chapter of Pandora will be archived.

~Chrono Soul (a.k.a. The Man who isn't very happy with how the world works today...)

I hope to have a map of the World up sometime soon, just to make it easier on people. Hopefully next week it'll be finished. If any of you can work with photoshop or something to make it better, i'd appreciate it. If not, oh well.

Well, here's my character. Assuming he's accepted, I'll have an IC post up in three days maximum.

Name: Uesugi Yori (Japanese form)

Age: 20

Clothing: Yori wears a simple brown tunic, brown pants, and sandals. Nothing fancy; on the contrary Yori looks quite impoverished.

Eyes: Yori's most distinctive feature is his eyes, having almost silver pupils. At first glance, the sight of Yori's eyes is rather disorienting.

Hair: Yori's hair is a light sandy brown, with bangs reaching about halfway down his short forehead and reaching down to the base of the neck in the back. (Okay fine, it's a mullet.)

Face: Yori has a small head and a nose which sticks out sharply; his nose is very distinctive, being vertically much shorter than the average nose and horizontally much longer. His skin tone is very pale and is virtually unblemished.

Build: Yori is rather small, at 5'8" and weighing around 130 pounds. His body is virtually devoid of visible muscle tissue, and his relatively short strength is evenly distributed throughout his body.

Nation of Origin: Fire

Element(s): Spirit

Beast Alignment: Fox

Bloodline Limit (if any): None. His clan is quite prestigious, but his element and beast combination are an anomaly to the clan, and thus Yori carries few of their normal traits.

Specialty: Yori is best described as a "developing" warrior, being quite unskilled in combat due to the nature of his personality (see below). However, he carries incredible potential which he releases when he or a friend is in mortal peril, surrounding himself with an aura that offers him fast healing and which heightens his reflexes and overall combat skill. He has a limited version of this ability which draws on his chakra, and a more advanced version which draws upon his innate fox spirit. For weaponry, he almost exclusively uses a wakizashi and an off-hand jitte.

Personality: Yori means "dependence," and the name certainly fits. He is incredibly timid and, to a certain extent, spoiled; loved ones have been fighting his battles for him since he was born, and this trend has been reversed only recently.

History: The Uesugi clan had essentially its own village near the eastern border of the country. They, like many others in the Nation of Fire, were very talented shinobi and served as their own militia, sending few of their own to active military service. Yori was highly regarded by the elders of the village. They recognized his potential to surpass all others in the clan, but they did not do their duty in training him. As a result, Yori led a sheltered life and learned little of the way of the warrior. This continued for 16 years, until Yori entered into manhood. At that time, the elders realized the disservice they had done to the heir of the Uesugi's greatness and began an intensive training method. However, due to the life Yori had led prior to that, he responded negatively and learned little. Without the use of chakra, Yori became capable of rather advanced self-defense with the use of the Uesugi's trademark wakizashi and jitte by the time he was 19.

When Yori was 19, calamity struck the Uesugi; the Nation of Water invaded and, in a rare occurrence, Uesugi's village was in their army's path. The sheer force of numbers overran the village, and few survived. However, on that day, for the first time Yori began to tap into his true potential. He killed ten men over the course of a three-day siege. He became exhausted quickly on the third day, but reinforcements from the government arrived to dispose of the remaining troops. The survivors were brought back to the capital and, as payment for the shinobi saving their lives, were conscripted into the general military. Yori's superiors have realized his potential, but little formal training has occurred outside of real combat. Yori continues to grow as a warrior and as a person, but is very much incomplete at the moment.

Additional Information: Yori is an extremely picky eater; he is a vegetarian and eats only fresh, high-quality produce. To a certain extent the military has forced him to cut down on his expectations, but he still clings to his old habits whenever possible.

EDIT: Additional info brain fart fixed, and added information on the kekkei genkai (or lack thereof).

Oooooh...Good Character. He isn't over powered, isn't breaking any rules, and has a personality that should prove to be interesting. Your approved.

Just remeber, light colored Hair and anything that isn't fire is rare in the Nation of Fire, so he's definetly an abnormality.

Really I just said that to give additional information on the world. Anytime I do that is good.

Chrono, do you even read the posts?

Enlighten me Crono. How does fight function? Isn't it up to me to decide when my character will be defeated? By our fight it seems I can just put that I use some technique and kill you in one shot. I don't want you to think that I'm not satesfied that I lost. To tell you the truith I was planning to loose but not this quickly. And you underestemated my exploading tag that I throwed at you and you even ignored Albel's kunai.

Just so you know, My characters are following the caravan in secret.
I hate RP'ing along or with NpC's so I just thought ide secretly tag-along.


I believe fighting other characters should be PM'ed to the apponent, to decide upon the victor.
I also think that before the fight post is written, the two apponoents should Pm a (hopefuly short) discussion to decide whos character does this, and who says that. (Also the victor as stated above)
Im not sure if these are acceptable suggestions on behalf of fighting, however, if Chrono is to
agree with what I said, then they are.

Any further questions (im guessing there are..) should be PM'ed to me.
~Thanks~

Okay, yes Albel I do read the posts.

To start with his Kunai, when two characters are fighting in a duel, please don't get involved unless you ask. I probably should have said this, but I don't believe you told either Cloud or Me that you wanted to get invovled.

Cloud, the fight isn't over yet. I should have said that at the bottom. I could have handled it better, but I might as well say that I never intended it to be the last post.

As far as the exploding tag went, that hit a purely illusional technique, Fire Clones. It's not a speciality, so I didn't list it under my character. It drains enormous amounts of Chakra, so he can only maintain one at a time, and not for very long. It is long enough for him to escape, or draw fire.

I will admit my fault, I should have consulted you in PM, and will do so in the future. But no, the fight is not over (which I did say in the post, through Kohaku not deciding on it. But that was pretty vague).

-------

Anyway, time for a subject change. If you haven't really followed the OOC posts, this is all happening in the past.

Right now, we're in Cloud's storyline (I have nothing to do with the Caravan, aside from a bit later. I don't even know what's in it.). So he's calling the shots for the IC at this time.

~Chrono Soul

P.S. Yes, I am in agreement with Gamer. But you're not forced to, but if you lose, and you don't like it, then don't complain here. Anyway, from now on, we all work it out on PM (yes, self, you will behave!), and we don't get involved in other people's fights unless they want you to.

I think that anyone can join in the fight unless you put that we are fighting one on one and that we don't want anyone to involve. The caravan that is going for the nation of life is not just my story so anyone can join. And if you don't know what will happen next makes it interesting.

Look kid, if you're fighting on the street and someone wants to help you or wants to join in and beat the crap out of you, does he stop the fight to ask you or your opponent if he can do it?

What a dumb rule kid, you're taking the whole interesting part of anticipation out of the RP.

But hey, it is your RP, ruin it however you wish...

You can't compare RP with real life man...

If you compare RP with real life it only makes the RP a whole lot better.

quit the discussion that strays away from the main point(s)
Enough bickering children. Like we said, work fights out in PM's.
Remember, if you have questoins / complaints.. PM me.

Well that's stupid. Why do I have to PM you if I have questions? This is the discussion and we are talking about it so everyone can put their opinion. I want to log on and see what happened next after my post so I can come up with the next strategy, not PM other members to see how will we fight next. Might as well fight with my self then.
When my character fought Crono's, we didn't PM eachother and it was better that way. Although Crono had some idea how to beat me and it seems like whatever I tried to do to prevent it ,he would accomplish his strategy no matter what.
But, anyway, you guys are in charge.

I agree with Cloud on this, and like I said before, feel free to work it out in PM, but if you don't want to, that's okay. It's only an option, like alot of things in this RP. Keep in mind, this is a freeform RP. I like putting freedom into it, regardless of problems that come up. Like this.

Anyway, the difference between me and Cloud's character is that Kuyoshi is a static character. He doesn't get stronger in this RP, and he doesn't learn anything that new. Maybe one new technique. But essentially, he's reached his peak.

As far as the continous counters, he thinks about three steps ahead. But you're right, and since the fight hasn't continued, i'm going back and editing it. It doesn't contribute majorly to the story, so I feel okay with fixing it.

Albel, this RP can be compared to real life or not. But (and this is my fault), it was a duel. Duels are two people against each other. Kohaku was even being the referee. So if you want a weak explanation, Kohaku caught the Kunai in his sand. But that sucks as an explanation, so you might just want to live with not interfering with duels, or fights your character is excluded from.

I'm off to edit that post, it's not worth the trouble it's causing. If you have further arguments with me personally, then do it in PM.

Well Crono, you didn't have to edit all the fight. I ment only the part where you ignored Albel's post. And I was suprised when you ended the fight this quickly. I know it wasn't over but I couldn't have done nothing with me cought in wires and I can't post ( I could but you know...) I freed myself from it cuz my character is not that powerful. But I see that we continued so let's get it on.

Wires aren't really that strong. Sorry about this whole event, but at least it's over.

I think i pissed off Albel so much that he left.
