Character Creation
I can’t find my bio, what do I do?
Your character could possibly have been accepted already, if so there will be a link under your headband, if not you can check in the Accepted Characters. If it was Unfinished it could be in the NF Bios section. If none of these pan out you can PM a staff member to see if the thread has been archived.
When creating my character can I choose an expensive weapon just to sell it later?
Well, to be technical... yes. However this is not encouraged, we reccomend you begin with the weapon you want your character to use.
Can my character have wings and fly with them?
These abilties may be found within the Tsubasa Clan.
Do I have to train the techniques I choose when creating my character?
Nope, those are considered as being learned prior to academy graduation, since you start as a genin you know them already.
Does a fighting style take up a freebie or jutsu to start with?
Nope, not at all. Freebies included Genjutsu Perceptions, Ninjutsu Releases, and Fighting Stances. It is the actual stance that takes up a slot, not the style itself.
Can I play as a canon character?
I'm afraid not. We are a fairly non-canon site meaning, no canon characters.
Can a character start with a custom weapon or technique?
You may so long as it has been put through Custom Creations and accepted.
Character Revamps & Recreations
Am I allowed to revamp my character and choose new techniques by just sending him back to submissions, without having him/her die?
No, the only things you can change in those circumstances are Name, Age, Personality, Appearance, and techniques that have been removed from the site or changed.
Can I swap out my techniques? I don’t like the ones I picked/trained.
No, the only way this can be done is if the technique no longer exists.
When I die do I get all my techniques back for my next character?
When you die you get either five starting techinques, three if in a blood line, or the equal amount of your training points.
How do I re-create a character?
If your character has passed on you will begin by creating a new bio in character submissions. You will create an entierly new character. Links must be included in a post after the bio showing the death thread and the old bio. Then you choose between using five starting techniques, or your TP from your old character. The rest of the information can be found in this thread.
When I re-create do I keep my starting techniques?
You can either keep your starting technique or your training points from your previous character.
Do Missions Carry over from one character to another?
Yes and no. If you are a Gennin you start off with zero missions, if you are a non-ninja you start off with zero missions. If you are a Chuunin you start off with 8 missions, and if you are a Jounin you start off with 15 missions.
Life and Death
If my character dies do I have to make a new account?
No you do not. You keep the same account. TP doesn't transfer from one account to another.
What happens if I’m killed unfairly?
Unfortunately it happens sometimes. Staff can look over the death to make sure all is in order though to make sure everything was done by the book.

Combat Roleplay
Out-Of-Character Arena 101
If I battle in the RP school and loose does that mean I have to re-create my character?
No you do not. The RP school is OOC and therefore doesn't actually count against your character.
RP Teachers and Their Classes
How do I become a better role player?
If you'd like some assistance you can visit our RP School and request help from any one of our RP teachers.
In-Character Combat
How does the movement system work?
The movement system works based on your characters specialties or masteries dictating how many hand seals you can perform per round and how fast and strong they are.
How do you define whether or not your attack hits somebody?
You can't define if your attack hits. It is up for the opponent to come up with a way to dodge, and a battle mod to be sure it is within possibility.
How many techniques can a character use per day?
Jutsu use depends on your character's Class and what jutsu they use, otherwise there is no true system.
The Rules and Restricts of All-Out Combat
Can I ‘combine’ two techniques at the same time?
No you may not.
How is speed, strength, and chakra measured?
They are measured by Class level and the movement system.

Customs
The Way of the Custom
If I create a technique for my character he/she automatically knows it right?
No, they still must learn it, and need to purchase a scroll of the same rank as it.
I have a great idea, who do I tell?
Try putting it up in Suggestions and Ideas for feedback.
Limits of the Custom Creations
Can I learn techniques from Accepted Customs that I didn’t make?
If you meet the requirements you can, but you need to find them IC if you have to learn it from them.

Can I make a technique only my character can learn?
