Creating Your Character

[/url] when you are ready. We also created a template that is easy to follow. Click Here

Most information in the template is self-explanatory, however there are some key parts we would like to bring forward to help you create a character:

• Bloodlimit: A character may only have 1 Bloodlimit. However, some are restricted so please read the Restrictions of each Bloodlimit.
  
  
• Alignment: We follow a stricter concept of Alignments. If you are curious about what kind of alignment best fits you, you may go through our Alignments Board. Please note that Chaotic Evil is not permitted to be Ninja.
  
  
• Special: Here is where you choose your "Class" or your Specialists. There are a few rules when choosing your Specialists.
  
  • You may choose 2 Specialists and 2 Non-Specialists unless you choose a Master.
    
  • Your 2 Specialists and Non-Specialists cannot be the same (Example: Cannot choose NinJutsu Specialist and NinJutsu Non-Specialist).
    
  • If you choose Master you may choose 1 Non-Specialist.
  
  The Specialists we have are NinJutsu, GenJutsu, TaiJutsu, Clan, and Medical Specialist. Same applies for Non-Specialist, and Master, however there is no Medical Non Specialist, nor Master.
  
  
• Primary Equipment: New Characters start with 13,000 Ryo of Primary Equipment. All Items are found in the Items Index. All Primary Equipment are listed as "Main" except for Apparel. You may start with an animal companion so long as it is an animal, medium size, and has a cost within the Ryo range. Rituals also apply as Primary Equipment. You may start with any item so long as it does not have a percentage chance of finding.
  
  
• Secondary Equipment: New Characters start with 30,000 Ryo of Secondary Equipment. All items are found in the same Items Index as Primary Equipment. All Secondary Equipment are listed as "Secondary" except for Apparel. You may start with any item so long as it does not have a percentage chance of finding.
  
  • Note on Alchemy: Alchemy is extensive but we will help you find some fun items. If you are looking for Explosives you can find them in the Chemicals & Compounds thread. If you are looking for Poisons you will find them in the Toxins & Poisons Thread.
  
  
  
• Apparel: New Characters start with 8,000 Ryo of Apparel. You may start with apparel that does not have special properties or abilities. Apparel allowance gives enough for a complete outfit if one chooses: Boots, Gloves, Bracers, Headband, Jacket, Undershirt, and Pants. However, keep in mind that secondary Equipment take up apparel space. If you do not have enough apparel space, you will not be able to carry all your secondary equipment.
  
  
• Shinobi Headbands: All Shinobi start with 1 Headband of their Village. This headband is considered a Masterwork item. These Headbands may be upgraded during their tenure as a Shinobi, or upgraded by the Chūnin Exam Council when becoming a Chūnin. Shinobi Headbands can be treated as either a Headband, Belt, or Neck piece.
  
  
• Personality, Appearance, and Background: Must be written within 3 paragraphs for Non-Bloodlimits, and 5 Paragraphs for Bloodlimit characters.
  
  
• Techniques: New Players start with 150 Training Points (or Experience Points) if they start with no Bloodlimit. New Players with a Bloodlimit start with 100 Training Points. Training Points dictate what your character knows. These range from Techniques to Skills. For a deeper look in how Training Points work you may look in the Class Levels section of the Player's Handbook.
  
  
  • Cost of Techniques:
    
    • "E" Rank Techniques cost 5 Training Points
      
    • "D" Rank Techniques cost 10 Training Points
      
    • "C" Rank Techniques cost 10 Training Points
      
    • "B" Rank Techniques cost 40 Training Points.
    
    Techniques come in abundance and can be found in our Index, but do not fret as we will give some more detail about them in a moment.
    
    
  • Freebies: Every character starts with a number of "Freebies" detailed in the Techniques section of Making Characters in the Player's Handbook. Freebies are Releases, Perceptions, Stances, Skills, or Traits. Freebies do not add nor deduct from your Training Points allowance nor do they add to Training Points to your Class Level. It is strongly recommended to use all your Freebies in Traits. Traits can be found in the Skills & Traits Index. If you are looking to add a little flair to your character, we suggest checking out our Ancestry Traits.
    
    
  • Techniques a Closer Look: If you do not know what to look for, check out the list below. Here you will get an example of what you will find in our Index.
    
    
    • Releases: Releases are Nature Transformation. They involve molding and altering chakra to a specific property of elements. Release is in essence Elemental Chakra. Here you will find Fire, Wind, Lightning, Earth, and Water. You will also find advanced Releases such as Ice, and Wood.
      
      
    • Perceptions: Perceptions are GenJutsu, or Illusionary Techniques. Illusionary techniques are divided into 2 sections, Illusionary Perceptions and Enchantment Perceptions. Enchantment perceptions affect the minds of others, influencing them, or controlling their behavior. Illusionary Perceptions deceive the senses or minds of others.
      
      
    • Fighting Styles: Body Techniques, or TaiJutsu. Here you will find martial arts that enhance the body and their natural human abilities. The Fighting Styles Index is divided into 3 sections. 1st is Universal Techniques any user may learn. 2nd are Fighting Styles dedicated to Hand to Hand Combat (such as Boxing, Wrestling, Goutetsu, etc.). 3rd are Fighting Styles dedicated to specific weapons (Sword Fighting, Shield Combat, Mounted Combat, etc.).
      
      
    • Clans: A clan refers to a family, or a group of people who form a unit. This Clan index is open for all members; however, some Clans have specific restrictions. Here you will find Clans such as the Akimichi, the Inuzuka, the Yamanaka, and other similar clans.
      
      
    • Bloodlimits: Also known as Kekkai Genkai. Bloodlimits are an anomaly of the DNA that allows the user to wield unique techniques. A person may only have 1 Bloodlimit. Here you will find clans such as the Uchiha, the Hyūga, the Kaguya, and other similar Bloodlimits.
      
      
    • Supplementary Clans: Clans that are not Clans. Supplementary Clans tends to be a broad term for groups that do not belong in NinJutsu, GenJutsu, or TaiJutsu, and yet are not a Clan. These "clans" are groups of people who can perform Techniques dedicated to that Clan. Here you will find Supplementary Clans such as Sensor, and Bard.
      
      
    • Professions: Professions is a catch all Index dedicated to mostly Miscellaneous subjects such as Medic. Here you will find a large array of creations to help your character grow such as Alchemy, the ANBU, Artisan (Crafters), Rituals (Seals), and Skills & Traits.

What to do After Making a Character

[/b]

[/font] name. Look in your Village and find the member with the most Sticky threads. Most likely he/she is your Kage.[/ul]

Join a Thread

Make Missions

[/url]. Here you can learn how to create missions and how to get them accepted. Make your own mission if you like and go out and have fun. Do not be afraid to invite a friend to go on a mission with you. Adventuring should be done with multiple people. Earning Ryo is a great way of expanding your equipment.[/ul]

Stay Up to Date

[/url]. Especially our Site Update Thread. Naruto Forum Role-play is an ever expanding site. Rules change, balances are made, and customs are made or removed. Builds tend to change and we try to post updates once a month. It is good to stay up to date.[/ul]

Check out the Player's Handbook

[/url] is the most extensive rule set we have on Naruto Forum Role-play. It consists of every rule from combat to character depth to environmental conditions. If you are ever confused about a rule or if you feel adventurous look at the rule book. It is not something you have to memorize, but it is an extensive guide to help both beginners and advanced members of Naruto Forum Role Play.[/ul]

Have Fun
