 Basic Information
Name
What is you character’s name? Please avoid unsuitable names (either rude or inappropriate in relation to the Naruto universe). The best idea is to find a Japanese name that you like. With this in mind I include a few useful links and tips:
For Japanese First Names: http://japanese.about.com/library/weekly/aa072303a.htm
For Japanese Family/Clan Names: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Japanese_surnames
While not particularly important it may be of benefit to your roleplaying experience to understand that Japanese put a different emphasis on their word order then in the west. You may wish to reflect this when making a name
In the West one puts your first name first, followed by one’s family name. The opposite applies in Japan and Naruto. E.g. rather then saying John Smith it would be Smith John. Example from Naruto: Uzimaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke. As you can see in both cases the clan/family name comes first
Secondary Title
Do your friends call you anything specific, or are you known and feared by many with a certain name? This could be a nickname at lower ranks or a title/alias at higher ranks. Sarutobi was known as the Professor, Jiraiya the Toad Sage and Nagato as Pain
Age
How old is your Character? The age you pick should reflect your characters rank and background. You are not likely to find 30 year old academy students or inversely 10 year old Kages. To aid you I have included an average age scale for the various ranks. This is does not need to be strictly adhered to but apps well outside the range may not be successful:
- Academy Student: 6-13. Most graduate at 13
- Genin: New genins are normally 13. 12-16
- Chunin: 14 +
- Jounin: 16 +
- Sannin: 18 +
- Hokage: 20 +
Gender
You have to make one simple choice, is your character male or female.
Physical Appearance
This needn’t be long all you need to do is write a paragraph or two concerning a chars looks and if possible a picture is normally appreciated. While not necessary it is often a good idea to have a similar avatar to your character’s picture. Detailed below are two good examples of this:
- Quote :
- Physical Appearance: Kimiko has beautiful Amethyst colored eyes and heavy eyelashes. She has long brown curly hair that almost looks blonde in the bright sunlight. Her hair reaches just above her elbows which is also sometimes in a loose ponytail. Her skin is very light and soft. Her body is in pretty good shape as well, having no scares...yet.
Occasionally, Kimiko randomly wears red goggles on the top of her head, right behind her long uneven bangs. They actually aren't that big, but are still noticable as just a pair of goggles. She wears them whenever she is also studying potions, herbs, and looking at random things intently. Most of the time Kimiko likes to wear shirts that let her see her wrists, this is why she will probably wearing a form fitting shirt with slight loose sleeves. Basically she will probably wear anything that she wants to wear. She will always look different in a way.
On 'special' occasions, Kimiko loves to wear the old fashion Kimono. Her hair while be in a cute high ponytail with small ortaments in them, and her light skin will clash with the dark colors of the kimono designs and lipstick that she enjoys.

- Quote :
- Physical Appearance: Rika has long black hair. Her normal eyes have a light greenish color. Her face normally has a somber appearance and she almost never smiles. She wears a white jounin jacket and black under it. Her boots and pants are also black. She wears long black gloves that go halfway up her bicep and have a small metal plate on the back of her hand. She has an anbu tatoo on her arm symbolizing she was once an anbu

Personality
In this section you tell us what your character is like. The more detailed the better. What he likes, what he dislikes? What he loves and hates? What is his nindo, how he treats other people and is perceived, his hobbies etc. Posted below are two good examples:
- Quote :
- Kimiko is very imaginative and thoughtful. Kimiko has a slight above average IQ and enjoys reading various of things. She pays attention to her elders well and works very hard. Something to note is that her way of thinking of certain things could labled as 'weird' or 'strange' but she dosen't really mind that. She has a love for sceince, potions, and chemicals even though those are the things that have changed Kimiko in a certain way. Kimiko is almost always calm but full of life, for she dosen't mind meeting new people and shes fond of making friends. Its funny though because at first, she will probably not really want to talk to you unless shes interested. No matter what though, she is still very polite with the utmost manners. Of course thats only if your being nice to her.
Kimiko dislikes nagging, messy work space, and failed attempts at making jokes...
Her slow body movement can irritate her at times, like when she is training with friends or running. She just reminds herself that its not that big of a deal and its not that noticable. This is probably why she is never seen being hyper because it will tire her out. In a attempt to keep her body strong she eats pretty healthy and does yoga. Of course doing such things dosen't make her body move any faster.
From Kimiko Miyamoto, Genin of Leaf by Kimiko
- Quote :
- Contrary to his appearance of looking evil, Hagane is a very kind and understanding person; he is mellow and down to earth and just generally gets along with everyone. He is considered to be a brotherly figure amongst the people he meets, often looking out for those younger than him and giving them bit’s and pieces of choice advice he has picked up during his life. Hagane does not hate people nor does he hold grudges, every chance he gets to meet someone he cherishes it. He is not without wit either; if he is not helping someone or he is trying to lighten the mood of a tense situation, you will find him in no short supply of sarcasm or humor. He is very prone to making nick names for the people he meets.
After losing his loved one when he was 15 Hagane has grown slightly distant emotionally, he wont get too attached to someone he like's because of the pain he had to endure through all of his years as a missing nin. In order to push people away Hagane has become a bit of a flirt, hoping that his female companions will see him as somewhat of a shallow pig and not get too attached to him. He want's to love someone again but he is very fearful of it. All the scars in the world could not compare to the one left on his broken heart. What's worse is that it was all his fault and he could have probably prevented it from ever happening.
Hagane can be cold and heartless when it’s needed; however, this side of him is reserved strictly for fighting as he needs to separate himself from the reality of things. If he didn’t do this to himself the guilt of hurting someone else would devour him emotionally and it would cause him to go insane like it did in the past. He is a veteran fighter and a survivalist, he knows what needs to be done and when it needs doing.

Catch Phrase:
Does your character have any catch phrases or sayings examples:
“I never give up”
“How tiresome”
“Do I look fat in this”
Clan Information
See the Clan Creation Guide
Rank Information
Rank
What rank is your character? Genin, Chuunin, S Rank Missing Nin …? For most it is suggested that you start at Genin if not as an academy Student (for people who have never rped before) to get into the swing of things. More experienced players can apply for higher ranks such as Jounin. A key reason for this is the higher the characters rank the longer and more complicated the app will be. A elite S Class Nin should have many pages full of hidden depth with substantial jutsu lists and a detailed background. The rank of the Nin you are applying for is important to bare in mind with regard to the character as a whole as it will impact on everything from your history to your starting jutsu.
Village
This is the village you live or were raised in. Nin should put down the Village (e.g. Leaf, Sand, Mist etc, feel free to use the Japanese name such as Konoha, Suna, Kiri. Currently only Leaf, Sand, Kiri and Kumo are available choices
Special Information:
Character Speciality
Much like elemental affinity your character will be skilled in certain spheres having a primary and secondary specialization. It will be assumed all chars have a certain level of skill at all Nin aspects accept specialized ones such as Medical, Puppetry and Fuuinjutsu which all require considerable study.
Your available choices are as follows: Weaponry, Taijutsu (Hand to Hand), Ninjutsu (Most Jutsu fall into this category), Genjutsu (Illusions), Fuuinjutsu (Sealing), Medical Jutsu, and Puppetry
Due to ones ability in these areas being ultimately down to your characters personal choice (unlike elemental affinity) it’s possible through RP to change ones specialization, much as anyone in real life can retrain in a different profession. This requires Admin/mod approval. However it is important to note you must learn any new jutsu in the standard way and that you can only ever have two specializations. Any new one will replace one of your existing ones
Elemental Affinity
What elements does your character use? Every character will normally have one primary and one subsidiary element. The Element’s being Water, Fire, Earth, Wind and Lightning. Fire, Wind and Lightning techniques tend to be predominantly offensive in nature while Earth ones are mainly defensive. Water ones are somewhere in the middle and provide good flexibility. Your choice of element should be reflected in your Jutsu choices. Here are a number of important aspects that should be taken into consideration:
- No starter app below Jounin should include any Jutsu to which you don’t possess an elemental affinity for
- Any Jutsu for which you do not possess the requisite element takes more chakra, longer to perform and is generally less potent. For simplicity and effectiveness sake it’s suggested that you keep to your own elements.
- You cannot create new Jutsu that your have not got an elemental affinity for and learning any existing Jutsu to which your not aligned will take 50% longer.
- Characters Jounin and above may apply to admins/mods to be allowed a third element but it is suggested that it isn’t normally necessary and two elements are sufficient at any Rank.
- An approved Kekkai can in certain case allow a Nin to utilize a combination element such as wood or ice. It is impossible for anyone else to utilize combination elements.
Special Characteristics

Skill Information
Jutsu
Last but not least what Jutsu does your character possess. For those new to the Naruto RP experience this is often the most daunting section so I will go through it step by step.
Firstly when doing an app all Jutsu must be of the same level or lower then the Nin. For example a Chuunin should never have a Jutsu above B to begin with. The details are as follows:
- Academy Student: D Rank Jutsu or less
- Genin / C Rank Missing Nin: C Rank Jutsu or less
- Chuunin / B Rank Missing Nin: B Rank Jutsu or less
- Jounin / A Rank Missing Nin or higher: A Rank Jutsu or less
- Kage/ Akatsuki/ ANBU /S Rank Missing Nin: S Rank Jutsu or less
S Rank Jutsu are by their nature extremely powerful and thus no character should reasonably need more then a handful. Even the strongest Kage or the Akutsuki leader will only know so many. Most S Class Nin only know a few, the powerful ones two or three. This is because they are all essentially fatal if they work, execution techniques and one only requires so many ways to skin a cat. If your have more then 5 your character app should be reconsidered for being OP and you might want to consider what you really want from the RP experience.
A Nin will only know and may only use clan jutsu of their level. As he progresses so to will his range of Jutsu however no Genin will have be able to perform an S Class technique as a result of his Kekkai Genkai.
Lastly as already mentioned under Jounin no apps should contain Jutsu which the character has not got an elemental affinity too.
If you are at a loss of where to start there are a number of good databases with all the techniques used in the manga, series and movies listed with all the information you could need:
- Leafninja – http://www.leafninja.com
(If anyone is aware of any others please PM the as yet un-appointed individual with any changes or developments so that they can update the list)
If you can’t find a Jutsu that fits you needs or if you would prefer to you can app in the Jutsu creation forum to create a new one. Please read the rules outline in the forum before starting. You will have ample opportunity to learn more Jutsu through RP. The Jutsu creation rules can be found here: Link
To save everyone a lot of hassle I will now list the 3 basic Academy techniques all characters would possess as well as some other highly common techs most people should know.
The 3 Basic Academy Jutsu
Name: Bunshin no Jutsu - Clone Technique
Rank: E
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: N/A
Description: Bunshin no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique which every ninja learns at the Ninja Academy. The Bunshin technique creates a copy of the ninja without substance. The copy resembles the ninja in every way. This clone can function as a distraction or as means to confuse one's opponent. As soon the Bunshin gets attacked or comes into contact with an opponent, it will disperse
Name: Henge no Jutsu - Transformation Technique
Rank: E
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: N/A
Description: Henge no Jutsu is a ninjutsu technique which every ninja learns at the Ninja Academy. Henge allows the ninja to transform themselves into any person or object. This allows the ninja to move with stealth or to trick their opponents
Name: Kawarimi no Jutsu - Change of Body Stance Technique
Rank: E
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: N/A
Description: Kawarimi no Jutsu is a basic Ninjutsu technique. When in danger the ninja will quickly substitute themself with another nearby object. This can be a block of wood or even another person. This allows the ninja to quickly flee and hide while the original object takes the brunt of their opponents attack.
Other commonly known Techniques
Name: Suimen Hokou no Waza - Act of Water Surface Walking
Rank: E
Type: N/A
Element: N/A
Description: A variation on the Kinobori no Waza (Act of Tree Climbing), the art of water surface walking allows a ninja to walk on water as if it was a solid surface. Focusing an even amount of chakra out of the soles of their feet, they can balance themselves on the very surface of the water
Name: Kinobori no Waza - Act of Tree Climbing
Rank: E
Type: N/A
Element: N/A
Description: Kinobori no Waza, the art of tree climbing serves a dual purpose. Taking part in Kinobori Shugyou (Tree Climbing Training) helps a ninja learn how to focus their chakra. It also teaches the ninja how to run up trees and walk on vertical walls. The training helps the ninja learn how to focus just the right amount of chakra to a particular part of their body. The amount needed to climb is small but it must be precise. The feet are regarded as the hardest location to master chakra focusing. So by gaining the art of this skill, the ninja will have any jutsu available (theoretically) because they will be able to focus their chakra as needed
Name: Explosion Tag: Activate
Rank: E
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: N/A
Description: The user will activate an explosion tag. Normally, the tag will be placed by them, so they know where it is and can easily activate it.
Name: Nawanuke no Jutsu - Escaping Skill
Rank: E
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: N/A
Description: A very basic technique that allows a ninja to escape from rope binds.
Name: Kai - Release
Rank: D
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: N/A
Description: Kai is a Ninjutsu technique which allows the ninja to avoid the effects of a Genjutsu illusion. After forming the needed handseals, the Genjutsu technique will not affect the ninja. The ninja can also use the technique on another individual who was unable to avoid the attack. After forming the needed hand seals, the ninja touches the one affected to end the affect of the spell.
Name: Shunshin no Jutsu - Body Flicker Technique
Rank: D
Element: N/A
Description: Shunshin no Jutsu is a basic Ninjutsu technique. The ninja will appear and disappear in an instant, allowing them to retreat or attack suddenly. To facilitate the movement the ninja will often use nearby elements such as mist, sand or leaves to mask their appearance or disappearance.
Name: Kugutsu no Jutsu - [Puppetry Technique]
Type: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Element: N/A
Description: Kugutsu no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique that allows a ninja to use a puppet to attack from afar. Using their body's chakra, the ninja emits strings of chakra that run from their fingers to the puppet. The puppet itself can be loaded with many weapons and tools, allowing the puppet master to remain hidden while the puppet moves and attacks the target.
Note: Kugutsu no Jutsu is for personnel with puppetry specialty only.

Element: [Lightning, Wind, Earth, Water, Fire]
Description: [A well detailed description of your jutsu. Remember to add in such fetures as it's range, chakra cost, drawbacks, etc to give an overall view of the technique.]

Weapons
They needn’t be added unless you want to but remember you can only use approved weapons except for very basic types like kunai and shuriken. If however you want/plan to create one especially for your character it should be mentioned, along with details of its appearance, abilities and origins in the format provided on the Weapon Creation sub forum. It is highly suggested you read the guide to weapon creation before attempting it. Puppets should also go in this section with all relevant details if applicable. Here is an example:
- Quote :
- Name: Sacrificial Blade of Jashin
Quantity: 1
Appearance: The power of the Disciple decides the type of weapon gifted. The acrobatic and flamboyant style used by the Disciples of Jashin takes years if not decades to perfect and the larger the weapon the more skill required. The weapons whatever their size, all share the same traits and abilities
This blade is used by Genin level Disciples and as such is used by Jiro
Special Abilities: All Sacred weapons have the following properties:
- They are extremely hard wearing
- The blades are made from a blood red metal
- They are perfectly balanced
- They never lose their edge
- They can all be used in conjunction of ropes and chains to extend their range considerably
- They are Chakra conductive
- They can be summoned to the owner using a variation of the standard summoning technique. When a disciple proves them capable of handling a new weapon (aka when they rank up), all they need to do is unsummon their old blade and use the summoning technique and a new blade more suitable to his needs will appear in its
place
Origin: All the Sacred Sacrificial blades are create in forges in Jashin own hell like realm and are usually gained by summoning them though on very rare occasions they have been known to be found unattended, lost by some former Disciple of Jashin

Background Information
History
This is your characters history. Depending on the rank of your character this could be relatively short and sweet or very long and detailed. That said even the shortest background should be a few paragraphs long if possible. The background should be laid out in easy to read arcs such as pre academy arc, academy arc genin arc, chunnin etc. The more senior the Nin’s rank the greater the number and complexity of the arcs. Here are two good examples, one a genin and one a Jounin to give you a rough idea of what is expected:
- Quote :
- Childhood Arc: Hayate was born into the Dokuyaku clan, his parents and other family members with the exception of his grandfather were killed by a toxin they were developing. It is unknown why Hayate and his grandfather carried immunity to the poison. Hayate lives with his grandfather, Hatake, he is trained in medical ninjutsu and water ninjutsus by him. Hatake was the clan’s last leader before it was wiped out. The Dokuyaku clan uses poisons in many of their techniques, given this information Hayate is required by Hatake to carry a plethora of knowledge on toxins and how they affect the anatomy of their enemies. Living a mostly solitary life, Hayate and his grandfather spend most of their time, playing chess and researching and developing new poisons and antidotes for use by the village. Although Hayate is at a young age, he has the maturity and intelligence of those far older than him. He is considered to be wise beyond his years by his grandfather. They Live on the outskirts of the village and are frequently visited by peoples, looking for cures and medicines. They turn a profit off of selling the potions and antidotes.
Academy Arc: Hayate passed through the academy with much ease. Everyday in the academy seemed to breeze by in seconds. He focused most of his time into developing new poisons and techniques that incorporated them. People would refer to him as the academy’s ‘ghost’. Partially called this because of his pale complexion, but moreover because he just passed through, as if there where no obstacles in his way. Come exam day, he passed with ease and was praised for having the highest scores in his class. He didn’t care, he had more important things to do, more poisons to develop with his grandfather. Upon graduation from the academy and acceptance into a Genin team he was ecstatic, which was rather unusual for him as it went against his general demeanor. The reason for all the excitement was because he knew that his grandfather would be proud of him. On that same day he briskly travelled home, ready to tell his grandfather the good news. Upon arriving at his residence he searched for his grandfather. He couldn’t find him in the house, he decided to go outside and see if he was in the garden collecting samples for his latest concoction. Hayate proceeded outside, the sight he saw that day emotionally destroyed him. The sight of his grandfather lying on the ground in a pile of his own blood was too much for him, there where kunai and signs of battle scattered on the ground near him. He quickly rushed to his grandfather’s side and began examining the body. His throat was slit, at there where numerous gashes covering his body. Hayate broke down, he cried and agonized over his grandfathers death. The corrosive tears rolling down his pale cheek. His mentor, his friend, the last of his family had all been taken from him and he was truly alone. Hayate became something of a recluse that day. Only ever leaving his house for a mission, or to get food, he tormented himself in his loneliness. The only thought in his head was his grandfathers dead and bloodied corpse, it devoured him from the inside. He vowed revenge for his loss, Hayate became and ruthless and malicious… if only he could play chess with Hatake now, the victor would be clear.
Genin Arc: Hayate completes missions with ruthless efficiency, he doesn’t care who get hurt, or what gets destroyed as long as the mission is completed. He has adapted to his sorrow and made it bear fruit.

- Background:
Academy Student arc:Rika was born an Uchiha member and joined the academy at a very young age. She was at the top of her class quickly, but it was never enough for her father. He always told her she would never amount to anything and she was a pitiful ninja. She lost her self esteem and became a loner, but still worked exceptionally hard and gratuated early.
Genin Arc: As soon as she graduated she was put in a squad with Tohiko Sojiro, and Yoko Satsumi. Tohiko was always trying to become her friend and was always hitting on her, but Yuuki would have none of it. She spurned all his advances and stuck to herself. This infuriated Yoko because she had a crush on Tohiko and he ignored her unless she spoke to him first. This went on and their squad was very successful. Their sensei was very soft on them so they learned most of their jutsus from study and hard work on their own. This finally caught up with them when they were given a C rank mission to get back a box of jewels from an enemy village. Noone told them or their sensei that there were 2 jounin and 4 genin of another village guarding it. They walked right into a trap and Yoko was killed instantly from the senbon in the trap, and Tohiko was critically injured. Her sharingan alerted her just in time to get away without major injuries and their sensei was too relaxed and didnt have time to save his students. He battled ferociously though and killed the other two jounin while incurring some significany injuries on himself. He tookout one of the genin and injured another while Yuuki was fighting the other two. She used her sharingan and fought hard with her newly learned genjutsu and ninjutsu and killed one of the genin while critically injuring the other, but she was a second to late to save her sensei. She threw two shuriken that hit the genin in the back just as he gave the final blow. She then finished off the other genin and limped over to the intellegence box, picked it up and limped all the way home giving herself sub-par first aid along the way. She was praised for her bravery and her skills and was introduced to a new squad. She trained hard and breezed past the chuunin exams.
Chuunin Arc: When Rika became a chuunin she was given control of a squad. She quickly got to know her squad and what their specialties were. The two guys in the squad had really loud mouths and would never shut up, but their skills made up for their lack of stealth. One was a genjutsu master that used a variety of painful and confusing genjutsu to blind and torture the opponent. The other was a weapon specialist that used dual swords. The last member of the team was an up and comming med nin with slight ninjutsu skills. She did a few missions with this team and connected with them right away which was very unusual for her. They did many missions together and 2 years passed until they were given a mission, for some of them it would be their last.
They had to assassinate a high ranking official in The mist village, and so they set out. When they reached the area around the mist country they went over their strategy again. The genjutsu specialist would put everyone in the surrounding area alseep and the sword specialist would pick off the two guards while Rika used her Grand Fireball jutsu to finish off the official. And so the mission began.
From the very beginning Rika knew this mission was going terribly wrong. The security was upped to a jounin and 3 chuunin instead of just one jounin and one chuunin, but her pride got in the way of her calling the mission off and getting a backup team. The genjutsu specialist did his job well putting everyone in the area alseep, but once one of the chuunin started to dose off the jounin woke him up and knew that someone was using a genjutsu. He quickly scanned the area hunting for the user but before he could find them, Rika's squad attacked. two chuunin were taken out quickly before even being alerted there were enimies in the area. The jounin jumped back and used a water jutsu that hit the sword specialist directly in the chest as he was getting up from killing a chuunin. He was killed instantly when the other chuunin appeared behind him slashing him with a sword while he was still in the air from the water jutsu. Rika turned away from the body and used her Grand Fireball jutsu which ran across the ground at the jounin. The jounin jumped away and threw 3 senbon which hit Rika in the arm, but the clone he hit exploded and vanished. When he landed, he noticed too late that there were 8 explosive tags on the limb that he jumped to. They exploded sending his corpse flying away. Rika called her remaining squad members together and they assembled at the sleeping official, but as Rika was about to strike the final blow, the med nin stabbed a dagger in her side. Surprised, but quick to react the genjutsu user killed the chuunin transformed into their med nin with his kunai. He then finished the official and picked up Rika and carried her a safe distance away. When he was sure they were safe he provided first aid and some bandages and they both returned home grief stricken about their two dead comrades. When they returned they offered their report and were praised for their exceptional skill, and were both promoted to Jounin.
Jounin Arc: Rika became a jounin and got her own little squad. She didnt get an Uchiha for some reason, and this made her just a little angry. She wanted to train some of her family like only she could, but the hokage's decision was final. She decided to take what she had and make them as good as they could be. She wasnt the gloomy, dead inside person she is now, so she was fun but kept the genin on a good track. They grew fast and Rika went on many missions with them. She loved her genin and trained them into the best squad in konoha. Even her other family from other squads envied this squad. They were quite powerful and did very well. The chuunin exams were comming up soon and Rika decided to give them a slight edge. She taught all of them to create shadow clones. The two boys could create two clones safely and the girl was a natural. She created 4 and could have probably gone to 5. They entered the chuunin exams and started the battles. They breezed through the forest area and destroyed two other squads before making it to the checkpoint.
Once finished with that they began the tournament section of the chuunin exams. There were 16 genin in this tournament and it started off well the squad defeated their first two opponents easily, but there were other powerful genin in this tournament. Both boys were eliminated in the semi-finals and one was beated by his own squadmember. The lone girl faced down a crazy looking genin from the cloud village. He had a wide variety of strange lightning jutsu. She got cornered at the end of the match but surprised everyone when she made 2 shadow clones and defeated the cloud genin while he was still surprised that the clones accually had substance. She won the chuunin exams and the whole squad was promoted to chuunin together.
For great leadership and training skills Rika was promoted to anbu.
Anbu Arc:When rika was first promoted to anbu she loved the freedom and the power it gave her. She met a man in the black ops and fell in love with him quickly. They did many missions together and assassinated together. Getting stronger and stronger the anbu team they were in was asked to do more and more major missions. Rika was a great ninja and he complemented her in every way. She grew so attached to him they were together almost all the time. Then came the day they were sent to assassinate a leader of a rebel group in the sound village. They moved through the village quickly and made it to the ninja. When they began the attack, Rika moved through the crowd and used her sharingan effectively, killing a large amount of rebels. When she turned around through she noticed the other two anbu in their group were on the ground dead. Standing over them with blood on his sword was the man she had fallen in love with. She couldnt believe it. She trusted him with everything she had and he betrayed her. She flew into a range and attacked with everything she had. At the end of the battle she dropped two her knees and began crying over the dead body of the man she loved. Then she felt a wierd sensation. She felt so powerful for some reason. She looked around and her eyes were much more powerful, she could see even more than she could see before. This frightened her. She left the place reluctantly and returned to konoha. She was heartbroken and refused to speak to any of her former friends. She asked to be reassigned back to jounin and her wish was granted. Rika had awakened her mangekyo sharingan and that trauma had changed her forever.

Role-Play Sample
This is your chance to show admins/mods your RP skills. Post a sample of role playing, either a new one or an old unrelated one (it needn’t be your character or even about Naruto) will be fine so veteran RPers will just have to paste something in. For new players applying for an AS or Genin rank Nin this needn’t be substantial. It is assumed to a greater or lesser extent that your RP skills are still rather rudimentary. Don’t let you get this down, everyone has to start at the bottom and you will quickly develop you own unique and exciting style. Here are some good examples:

- Rp Sample:Ouda sat down at his writing desk, took up a quill dipped in ink, and began to write. "I have to create this sample for everyone to learn from," The merchant mumbled quietly to himself.
"First I should mention proper punctuation and spelling," Ouda continued. "We can't expect everyone to be perfect, but it's alway good to try your best, right? Typos happen, but at least make an effort to post legibly so that everyone understands what you're saying."
As the words continued to flow across the paper Ouda warmed to the subject at hand. "Oh, and spacing your paragraphs out like this, whenever you switch perspectives or start a new line of thought, is the mark of a good writer." Thoughts were coming to the rotund merchant more easily now.
"Write down what your character is thinking or saying, but also what they see and hear. Be descriptive and creative," Ouda continued, then stopped for a moment to pour himself a drink of loqua from the glass decanter that sat on the side of his writing desk. Taking a sip, he continued.

- Quote :
- Jiro silently leapt from shadow to shadow careful to avoid puddles or loose debris that might give his position away. The drunken samurai ahead sauntered on oblivious to the dark intent of its pursuer still fondly reminiscing about the brothel girl he had beaten for his own sadistic pleasures. Yes, Jiro thought to himself, he would do perfectly.
The samurai stumbled drunk and half witted down the narrow gap between two buildings weaving between the myriad of carelessly stacked boxes and crates. Suddenly he heard a splash ahead, as though something had dropped into a puddle from a great height. Straining his eyes, his right hand automatically reaching for his sheathed katana, he called out trying to keep his worry out of drink sodden voice:
“Who’s there? Whoever you are you had best get out of my way, I am a trained samurai and don’t think I will not kick the living hell into you if you bother me”
In the distance he heard an odd click and then the wring of metal. Only a flash of moonlight in the dark reflecting off metal hinted at what was to come. A large blood red blade flew past his face missing by a mere cm’s pulling in its wake a long black chain only to bury itself 10ft further down, to the hilt in a nearby wall.
Trying to shake off the booze and his aching limbs the Samurai took a step back and whispered to himself:
“It missed. That was a close one. I need to finish this quick. He’s clearly Nin if a not a very good one from his aim”
Then the chain was suddenly pulled tight and the blade came whipping back, a flick of an unseen hand changing its directory. Finally pulling his katana free with his right hand he slowly raise his left and felt the warm wet patch on his cheek where the intruders blade had left a shallow cut. From the darkness he heard a chilling voice:
“I never miss”
Footsteps slowly advanced towards the Samurai. The moonlight was poor up ahead only partially illuminating the passage, however what was illuminated chilled him to his core. He could see the bottom half of a face the red blade held in front a tongue lapping up the blood.
“Who are you?” he stammered
The figure kept advancing unresponsive. The blade began to glow with a sinister ethereal red, as if this wasn’t worrying enough it illuminated the approaching figure. The person if you could call it that seemed little more then a youth, perhaps 13, was wearing a black and red kimono and were his skin showed it was covered in ritualistic marking. The killing intent that came from him was intense.
“What are you?” he gasped too shocked to will his legs to move
“Your Damnation of course. Fortunately for you I must be up early tomorrow and can not give you the attention you truly deserve. Being tortured for eternity in the bowels of hell will just have to do. Give my regards to Jashin Sama”
The figure shunshined and moments later the Samurai was gaping at the blade sticking through his chest were his heart had once been. Fortunately he didn’t live long enough to feel the immense pain.
Jiro held his stance a minute or two allowing the sacrificial blade to absorb the deadman’s tainted blood all the time whispering prayers in Jashin Sama’s praise. He could feel the shadows rustling, embracing him and knew Jashin was content with the offering.
After he finished he unceremoniously threw the corpse off his blade which once more returned to it’s placid state, and sheathed it. His black and white markings almost gone, he began to scour away his chakra signature, rearrange the scene and lay false trails to ensure his role in the man’s death was not revealed. As he did so he couldn’t help but wonder what his new team would be like.

If your character dies later on which does occur all you need to do is post a link to the topic you died in or one you are especially proud of
Other Information
- Try to reflect your characters own personality in his style, fighting technique, elements and Jutsu. Pick Jutsu’s that compliment each other and that can be evolved into an interesting fighting style over ones that just seem powerful.
- Avoid the dangers of OP (Over powered) Characters. Ask yourself how good is your character compared to Nin’s of a similar rank? Could they be beaten? If you answer is no then your character is OP and needs toning down. No character much like no jutsu or ability is unbeatable or unavoidable. Even the toughest Nin should be able to be beaten by the lowliest genin even if the odds are vastly against it. No one is untouchable. When making your character the rule of thumb is to make him equivalent to his rank. If he is a lower Jounin he should hold his own against other A Rank Nin, have trouble against S Rank nin and have a advantage over a B Rank Nin. The circumstances such as elements and weaknesses will impact on it but that should be the general approach. Likewise a genin even a good one will likely be at an disadvantage when fighting Chunin be roughly equal to another genin and superior to academy student. This is first and foremost a fun RP experience, not a race to have the strongest character and for those confused with the difference between competitive games and naruto RP should consider this carefully. Their rightfully aren’t any awards for having OP abilities
- Whatever the rank of your character all members are essentially equal and should be treated with respect. You should not feel that you rank is a reflection of your RP abilities or the regard to which people hold you. Everyone appreciates a well written Chuunin app more then a badly developed Jounin one
- Never be worried about going into too much detail, detail is always appreciated. Likewise new RPers should be reassured that the mods will always remain impartial and will endeavor to review any new apps as quickly as possible
- Last but not least have fun, character creation is a chance to really go to town and put your own stamp on your character.
