| Good evening (well late night, if you are GMT+1 like me) everyone, my name is Tomas Elliot, and I am a desperate man. Before explaining the reasons of my desperation, however, I think it would b polite, on my part, to share some basic information about myself.
I am an italian university student, who is happily engaged to a wonderful girl who, however, lives quite far away from me for reasons that involve her studies. This has an unfortunate side effect: since I am separated from my girlfriend for quite long periods, and since university in Italy is organized in a way that piles up all exams in very short periods (january-february and june-july), in this time of the year I find myself with a lot of time in my hand. And being a dreamer (and a fan of jap stuff), I tend to space out.
I love roleplaying. I have always loved roleplaying. I also love Naruto and anything that has to do with ninjas. I used to be part of some communities in my mother language a while back, but lately I have grown tired of italian stuff, so I decided to set out to find a good, international forum where to share these passions of mine, and focus my spacing out a little in the process. And my experiences around the web, during this search of mine, where absolutely dreadful. As I have other things to say, I'll put the tale of my misadventures in spoilers, feel free to skip it.
- Spoiler:
Apparently, being an old-fashioned fan with a fetish for the Sharingan and a willingness to roleplay as an Uchiha (maybe giving the character some original traits, without neccesarily following the usual gloomy-emo-out-to-kill-his-brother pattern, or maybe having loving and caring parents who are alive and well, instead of the usual backstories full of massacres) is some sort of capital sin in the world of Naruto fandom. In a forum I visited, I was openly laughed at. Another had rules that forced people to register a character and roleplay the entire life of said character (academy to jounin) untill he/she died, AND THEN you could request an Uchiha as a second character. A forum I visited didn't have the clan at all, so I got curious about the reasons, and I typed "Sharingan" in their internal search engine to know more. I found this topic in which a guy had asked "Why is there no SHaringan?", to which a mod had replied (and I quote the literal words): "because we don't have it. Also I have anal sex on regular basis with a black guy who has a [imagine the last word]". THOSE WERE THE EXACT WORDS OF A MOD. IN REPLY TO A GUY WHO HAD ASKED A PERFECTLY LEGIT QUESTION.
So yeah, I ended up in a place where everyone seemed fine and dandy, exceptthey wanted me to prove I was "worthy" of the position I was requesting: they therefore asked me to start roleplaying without a kekkei gekkai (or whatever you spell it) and unlock the Sharingan after some serious character development. Which seemed quite fair to me (specially compared to my previous experiences), so I decided to stay and make a profile. There were 4 things that were wrong about my profile. THEY WERE POINTED OUT IN 4 DIFFERENT POSTS. WITH A 48 HOURS WAIT BETWEEN EACH OTHER. And no, they weren't from 4 different mods (which at least would have made some sense), they were all from the same guy, who everytime was like "oh sorry, I forgot you also need to change this before I can approve your profile". At that point, I just assumed they were screwing with me, and since I am not the kind of guy who stalks people or causes flame and drama in the chat box, I simply walked away quietly.
And now here I am. All I am asking for is to be allowed to roleplay as an Uchiha, since I have always loved the Sharingan and I have never had the chance to roleplay with it. If there are requirements to meet, I'll meet them, I am pretty confident in my roleplaying abilities, having a 10 years experience of roleplaying behind me. I have also been the boss of a wrestling e-fed, so I have developed this tendency to elaborate long-term storylines to maximize character development (this very post, as long as it is, should kinda prove that).
Earlier in chat, a guy asked me which village I will join just as I was closing the box. I apologize if it seemed rude on my part, and here is my answer: I love sharing a passion with people and making friends, and therefore I value interaction and character development over the mere fighting (which I enjoy of course, but relationships come first in my book), and I also like spicing things up with romance and shippings. Due to this, I'll go to whatever village has people who share this passion of mine
What else remains to be said? Oh yeah: as mentioned earlier I am GMT+1, also I am unable to access the internet during week-ends because of personal issues. I am also in the process of writing a Yugioh-themed fanfiction (I happen to be part of a Yugioh-themed roleplay forum) and, as I said, I have a sweet-yet-demanding girlfriend I need to see from time to time, and exams to prepare, so I might have free time issues at some point. So yeah, I thought that whoever who is going to roleplay with me should know these things, to get an idea of when I can be online.
This is really all: because of the aforementioned personal issues I won't be able to work on my profile untill sunday night, I hope this is not a problem (and that all the Uchiha spot don't run out in 2 days, or I'll really freak out)... |

| Not sure if you've done so already but you'll need to send your request for Uchiha to either Adam or Cookie Monster, the admins of the forum. Good luck with that and I hope you enjoy yourself here on Ultimate Shinobi, the best forum for Naruto rp. |

| Official welcome! I think it was I who asked you because I always ask all the newbies about the village they're going to join. No matter, hope you are able to get the Uchiha you want. Cannot wait to RP with you |

| The quickest way to earn posts, just say "hello" to people in the introduction threads or "welcome back" if they say they just came back from a hiatus or something |

| Welcome to Ultimate Shinobi! I hope you find your stay to be far more welcoming than the rest of the sites you've visited. The members here are hospitable and friendly. Similarly, I wish you the best of luck in obtaining an Uchiha here. If you're looking to spice things up, Kumo isn't the worst place. |
