Village Traits

[Fire Shadow]

Or rather, trait.

Here's the idea.


Legacy: Hidden Village (Village Choice)
Rank: "A"
Skill: Village Trait
Effect: The Hidden Village is a place of awe and legend, and those who hail from such areas possess unique inherent qualities.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Choose a Hidden Village. Members of this village share a nigh unbreakable bond - a heritage passed down through the generations and instilling it's forces with strength in times of need. Select one trait; all members of the Chosen village possess the selected trait in addition to their listed profile traits. This does not count against a player's trait/freebie slots. Any players tht possess the same trait selected only get the benefits of one.
Limit: Only Hidden Villages can possess Village Traits.


So to represent "The Will of Fire" for instance, I might select 'Last Ditch Burst' or Finite Life. Each ninja village would basically get one; Mist could have 'Killer' to represent 'the bloody mist' legacy, etc etc. Just for a bit of added flare, difference, and uniqueness to villages. Kage's pick, new Kage's can change. Can have em posted in our respective villar info pages and maybe even spark a little competition between Kage as we all try to pick the right trait to attract new members. I do like the idea of keeping with a unique theme and flavor for each village, ideally stuff that sorta matches the anime/manga.

Welp, lemme know if it makes sense/seems cool/is possible.

Yeah actually sounds cool to be fair. They might be a couple flaws that could be worked on by the staff, but a question.

Are two villages allowed to pick the same trait? If not, how will the first pick be decided?

Expand a bit more, if you have rules for it and stuff.

[Fire Shadow]

"there might be a couple flaws" doesn't tell me what to address.

I don't care if they do personally, think it's more an issue of why anyone would want to when the whole point is to be unique. I'd prefer they talk about it like normal human beings.

I don't know what to expand or what "rules for it and stuff" you're talking about. Can you articulate specific concerns?

[Sabo]

Odd how you came up with this without any rules for it, it’s probably not your business as your just giving a suggestion. Never mind, if Usiel accepts rules will probably be made.

I like the idea though.

[Fire Shadow]

Am I using awkward phrasing in my responses?

You have to actually Specify, meaning, Give Me the Details of the concerns or issues that you believe a set of Rules need to be made for or to address. Otherwise, you are effectively asking me to come up with arbitrary, or, extra, unnecessary or randomly selected rules.

Do you understand what I mean better now?

[Sabo]

“ I don't care if they do personally, think it's more an issue of why anyone would want to when the whole point is to be unique. I'd prefer they talk about it like normal human beings“

Ahh I see now, you said this as a response to my first question.

Yeah this could make villages look much more distinctive. 👺 Usiel

Last Ditch Burst
Rank: "B"
Skill: Combat Trait
Effect: While in a state that normally leaves the user weakened, they summon a final surge of great strength.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: The user is used to being cornered and reduced to a weakened state. They know how to rise out of desperation. Once per battle, when the user is either fatigued or exhausted, they may summon a hidden well of strength to boost their physical power for one attack. If the user uses this ability while fatigued, they get +20 armour points in striking damage for one 1d6 rounds. If the user uses this ability while exhausted, they get +40 armour points in striking damage for 1d4 rounds. If using this ability to boost a multi-hit attack, the user may divide and choose how much of the damage bonus applies to separate parts of the attack. Alternatively, while the user is exhausted, they may instead get +80 armour points in striking damage for 1 round—in exchange, the user immediately falls unconscious (or paralyzed if unable to fall unconscious) once they finish the attack and can only recover from the condition after a forced extended rest. Attacks being enhanced by this trait are not affected by the Might penalties normally applied by fatigue and exhaustion. This trait replaces 2 Freebies.
Limit: Must start with Character; replaces 2 Freebies.

Would we pick this from a custom list? Or make our own?
And if it's from a list and we cannot pick the same as others, how do we decide which village gets what?

[Chisui]

It's exactly what's presented above. There is no custom list. There is no making your own. The Kage's select; make a thread in Kage Area for instance. First come/post, first serve. Otherwise; I see no reason why you can't discuss it like rational humans if you happen to want the one Trait someone else selected.


It's really simple. Kage's pick one extra trait everyone in the village gets. That's it.

[👺 Usiel]

Reminds me of regional traits which I removed because I couldn't come up with them. I don't mind making them but they'd have to be actual traits. Question, why is there a trait, and the other stuff. Everything should be put together.

[Chisui]

I'm not sure how, because these don't require 'coming' up with anything and aren't region based and don't involve you needing to do anything. There's nothing for you to make, because this is about the Kage's making a simple one Trait selection, from traits that already exist, as a bonus to make villages a little more unique. The 'other stuff' youre referencing seems to be 'the idea in it's entirety' though it also seems like many are reading the title of this thread and then skimming through virtually everything else.

What I'm asking about is really simple and doesn't take any extra work or selection from anyone except for the Kage, one time.

I'm not asking for their to be separate or new traits.

No one is being asked to create new traits.

Tldr; Ninja Villages = Have Own Trait = Kage Picks = No New Traits.

This is not suggesting new traits be designed.

[👺 Usiel]

Lol sorry, re-read the bottom part. I get what you're trying to do.

I get it now. Then now I would not allow this. Not in the way you want it.

[Chisui]

Whoo progress!

Is there a reason you wouldn't allow it? READ> it doesn't have to be the full reason, something like 'thats too many traits' or even more vague reasoning 'i don't like it', would at least prevent the idea from feeling wholely dismissed.


What is the difficulty in coming up with Regional Traits and can we help? Is it just finding a 'theme' to match the particular trait grouping, like how social traits are more for skills and faith traits are more for saves, etc? Do you only want 'new' stuff that you and chosen staff make directly, and if so,are you willing to even hear suggestions about this?
