[Mist]

Welcome to the Mist Vilage

Kirigakure no sato(Village hidden in mist) is a shinobi village located in the land of water. The mist village is one of the five great nations in the shinobi world. The villag.e is based near the bottom f a large mountain range and thus many of the features of the village is that there are many hills, cliff and low valleys. The village is easily broken into 4 districts.

• Castle District -The castle district is the remains for kirigakure’s royal castle past. Located on the western edge. Though many of the structures and building are old they have also been maintained with modern techniques. Many of the buildings addition such as water and plumbing are new and added to the old buildings. There are new buildings but built fashioned after other castle district buildings to match the style. The castle districts and its buildings are surrounded by castle walls all apart of the castle from olden times.
  
  
• Martial District - The martial district is essentially kirigakure base. It is the largest centered in the middle and has somewhat of a beetle shape from overhead view. It's original purpose was for military purposes for the fuedal lords and government of the water country. It was built for shinobi housing, training. Eventually in modern days its now just a large city with shinobi as a man job. The biggest and main district has history as being built solely for the shinobi of the water country. Many large buildings and towers are located within the district. The district has no traditional homes. instead people live in apartment, lofts or condos in many of the large and tall buildings. The martial district has also been remodeled with shops, restaurants and other places tend to the lives of the citizens. As the largest district
  
  
• Modern District - The modern district is mostly a residential area filled with many neighborhoods. The expanding district is located on the west side of east side of the village. What makes this district different is that isis all new. Nothing built here is older than 10-20 years old. It is the villages newest expansion to improve and satisfy the lives of its citizens. This place isnt only filled with homes as many business work here too!
  
  
• Harbor District - The harbor district is by far the villages smallest and poorest district. The harbor district is located northwest of the village north of the castle district. The poorest of the village usually live here and either have 2 jobs. Ether they are a low ranking shinobi or they work at the fish plant which fishes the lakes and prepares them for the village and exports. The plant also breeds fish imprder mot to overfish the lake.There are two smaller plants on the south west part of the lake. They also prepare fish but they’re main job is to breed them in order to prevent over fishing and to ensure enough for the village.
  
  The harbor district is a small but humble district. Just because it’s the poorest does not mean they live in shambles. The fish plants do pay plenty of money but the people in this district don’t seem to care about money much. They are content with living a simple life. There are even jonin and anbu who live here who wish to live a bit away from the hustle of the main part of the village.

Mist Village Housing

[/i][/size][/center]

Welcome to the mist village. Maybe you’ve had a character who’s been here a while or maybe you’re new. This section is here to help describe how and where the people of the village live. The village housing is based like in life on income. Even though we don’t really get income we pretend we do. I mean how else do we have homes and buy groceries for food or even afford clothes we wear? In life the better paying job you have the better you can live. Same here but with ranks. The higher rank you have the better place you’re character can live in the rp.

Most of the places do no have their own threads.
We here at the village prefer you just rping to and about the POI.
This is to ensure a more richer and less restricted rpg experiance.
Please enjoy

• Non-ninja - First of all its obviously for mist ninja. However if you think back to the Naruto series even Konoha had non-ninja workers like house builder or the ichiraku ramen stand guy. This village is the same both shinobi and non-ninja live together. If you’re a non-ninja and would like to live here please contact the mizukage. Non ninja can live in any of the districts as long as they meet living requirements.
  
  
• Harbor Housing
  The harbor district is the smallest in size and residents there. The good thing about living a bit away from the village is that its not as compact as the village as you are able to live in your own house. Though there are some retirement homes and apartment complexes here. Some of the apartments in the district you can buy like you would a home. The district is small surrounded by lush grass and has a great view of the lake if you’re close to it that is. It’s a carefree lifestyle here. Though it has some great places like seafood joints and the district is known for neat shops with the theme “make it yourself” with clothes wines, candy and more. Anyone can live here but this goes from anyone D rank and up
  
  
• Martial living
  The martial district is the original place where shinobi’s lived. Many towers and building are here filled with apartments for shinobi. These apartments can range from anywhere from 1 person living to 6 person. It was designed this way for families as the original residency. Many shops are located to meet the needs of residents. People from low class to high class incomes live here. They really don’t see much of a need to move as they feel comfortable where they have always been. Anyone can live here including non-ninjas working for the village from d rank and up.
  
  
• Modern District homes
  As the earlier post describe this district is mostly a residential area. None of the building are over 10-20 years old. The further east of the village you go the younger the buildings get. Many new homes are here that can fit 3+ families. Don’t have a family? Then buy a house for yourself and live alone or even rent a home with another shinobi(member) as is the popular option for those without families. There are more shops and places of entertainment in this district than anywhere else as the district implies because its more modern. Due to it’s nicer living conditions it’s a bit more pricey than harbor/martial district housing. Anyone from c rank and up can live here.
  
  • Coral Condo’s
    The coral Condo is a lakeside residence. These magnificent living arrangements made of polished stone on the edge of the lake to the village. Living in these condo’s gives the residents an amazing view of the sea life the lake. Those who usually live in the coral condo’s are middle class people. People with a stable enough salary to live here. These are really converted spots so usually as one person leaves atleast ten different people try to obtain the vacant spot. Only chunin or b rank can live here as genin or lower ranked shinobi cannot afford the rent price.
  
  
  
• Castle district
  Other than Mist manor there are several other fancy condos that people can rent/buy in the castle district. Only those who are jonin/anbu or A ranked can afford to live in the castle district.
  
  
  • Mist Manor
    Mist manor is the largest mansion in the entire village and 2nd largest housing complex next to the royal castle. The castle follows the rest of the housing structure of kirigakure. One large building with many apartments/lofts that can accommodate many people/families. The Mist Manor can house up to 100 individual apartments. Unlike general apartments you are able to buy the space in the manor like a house and do not pay monthly rent. Renting prices are available in the beginning fr those who might not want to live here forever or cant afford the buying price at the moment. The building can have up to 200 residents, hosts a ballroom, large garden, 3 dining halls, 2 indoor pools 1 large outdoor pool, a greenhouse and a library. This mansion is truly for the upper-class.

• Royal Aquarium
  Royal Aquarium Outside, Royal aquarium halls
  Long ago the water country used to have royalty. The kings and queens stayed in a castle made entirely of marble. However their palace was truly unique. The castle is what the royalty described as a vacation home dubbing it the royal aquarium due to it’s unique design. The walls and roof were made of marble but the walls were aligned with glass. Between the marble walls and the glass is a 3 foot wood pool or water. In this water lives dozens and dozens of small fish. This glass was developed by a unique but now extinct bloodline that made special glass. This glass traps and store’s light allows bright even during the night. This allows you to view the spectacular aquarium on the walls during anytime of the day.
  
  One enters the castle they will walk through a long hallway that have two long pools of water on the side along with the aquarium walls on both sides. Every hall in the castle is like this. After walking the first room that is visited is the throne room. With the royalty no longer active the castle is no longer used as its original purpose as a vacation home. Those who travel deeper into the land within the village boundaries will find this amazing building. Now the kirigakure keeps it preserved for a back up headquarters.
  
  
• Grand Waterfall Lake – Soudainataki no mizumi
  A large lake which known solely for its beauty.It is located several miles away from the actual city but inside the walls of kirigakure. The Grand Waterfall Lake is an official lake however s not put on maps in order to not put any unwanted attention to it. Because of that it is not very well known even amonst residents of kirigakure,
  
  The large lake is constantly supplied water from six different large waterfalls. These waterfalls are actually rivers from the mountains. A small river exiting through a treacherous underwater cave to the xx river is the only thing keep the lake from overflowing from the waterfalls. The cave waterway is impassable from either side as it is barred off with steel bars made by the village. The waterway also is also thin with a fast current and dozens of large rocks that stretch outwards that would shred those who pass through.
  
  The lake is said to have the most beautiful waterfalls outside of the waterfall country. The lake contains several large rocks that protrude out of the surface. Visitors like to swim here when wanting a break but too far from the shore. The lake is surrounded by high rock cliffs from which the six waterfalls originate from. The waterfalls have no stairs to the cliffs. If one is able to find a way up they will find several small tunnels that loop around the cliffs. These tunnels lead nowhere but back to a different area of the cliffs. Some of these are outlined by pillars made from the cliffs stoned outside of the tunnels in what appears to be a carved hallway of the cliff. Even though these parts of the cliff end up nowhere they offer a magnificent view of the lake. This place is used as a retreat for those who know of it.
  
  
• The Lake Gates
  The Inner lake gate. They are large gates 30 feet high etched on a tiny cliff before the lake. A temple a few barrack buildings and towers are stationed are it to protect the gates. The gates leads to an underground passage. This passage is lead by stairs in a dark cave setting. These stairs for into several paths that leads to different places. The first is a path that leads to the Arena Cavern. The second leads to the entrance to the coral condo’s a seaside condominium estate for the wealthy or mid ranked shinobi. Those are the two publically known path. It’s rumored that there are secret entrances ad paths that go to the kage tower and various locations in the village.
  
  
  • Sea Cavern Arena –Arina no Umi Doukutsu
    After one enters through the Inner Lake gates a pathway leads to a giant Sea Cavern which was once filled with water. The cavern has been aired out and converted for village use. Now a large building is in the front of the cavern. This building is for arena registration and low level battles. There are three types of matches one can set up. Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced. Beginner and Intermediate matches are exhibited in the building while advanced are played out in the rocky caverns behind the building.

Personality of Mist village Residents

No matter where you live whether in the mist village or elsewhere there are always rules and laws. Laws exist everywhere to maintain order. Its no different in kirigakure. These laws affect every resident both ninja and non ninja. The Mist Village is a lawful neutral village. Thus they have many council and political parties for every minor detail. for medical, shinobi, non ninja, outsiders, environment. Everything has its own council and laws

The mist village has always been known as a strict law maker. However it is not a feared government. In the past it used to be a Lawful Evil village but has grown more lenient and evolved into a more neutral status. Those who live in the village understand that rules and laws are important. Even if it is a good law or bad law it a good thing to have one. Kirigakure however will not hesitate to punish those who disobey carrying out its infamous tradition of those who go against the law.

Recommended Alignments
These are the most common alignments of villagers. You dont have to choose them but its highly recommended. The list goes from the most important to least from top-down order

• Lawful Neutral
  
• True Neutral
  
• Lawful Good
  
• Neutral Good
  
• Lawful Evil

Lawful Neutrals get along best in the village along the best. Lawful characters get along quite well with the many laws of the village. Good characters might not like the many rules but they do like having the laws as a safety net. Lawful Evil is the only evil alignment that can appreciate the laws due to its strictness in following, they still dont appreciate the kind of laws as it binds them down. Evil characters cant stand he village finding its rules and policies to obstruct their way of life. Chaotic characters hate the village as it goes against most if not all of their beliefs.



Background of Mist Shinobi
The main profession in kirigakure is a well known and obvious one, the role of a shinobi. It mean’s you are enlisted as a soldier of the water country and are dubbed the title “Mist Ninja”. The ninja there can train together and grow stronger as a military force. Due to the location of the village the village was named the village hidden in Mist due to the frequently high amount of mist the area gets year round.

Water n many forms such as lakes, rivers, ponds, constant rain, mist, hail, snow, rainforests and the ocean surrounding the country. After decades of utilizing the water the mist village has learned how to use the mist to execute stealth and assassination techniques and can even apply them outside of misty situations. Furthermore they have become famed users of the water element

Life as a shinobi pt. 2 WIP

Academy Life
The academy life is where all people train to become ninjas. You cannot be enlisted as a shinobi of the mist village until you pass academy exams. For the most part the life of an academy student is easy going teaching students the basic shinobi rpinciples. Students attend for four years from the age of 8-12 with some exceptions of early graduations from advanced students. The mist village used to have the most brutal Academy Exams requiring you to kill a friend to pass. That has long since been removed. To pass the exams you must fight a friend to prove you can fight comrades which is essential to eliminating those who betray the village.

Genin


Upon academy exam passing all students are required to provide a blood and hair sample to the village which is stored in secrecy. This is to keep track of all who become a genin. Every person who is a mist shinobi has done so there are no exceptions. If you have created a mist ninja the village has you're samples. If you arent a mist nin but wish to become one you must provide a sample. Genin are mostly the grunts of the village who passed thr academy exams. They are still in training i n order to become a village asset.

Laws of kirigakure (wip)

This section follows what laws we follow from the forums Crimes and Punishment thread


As of the reign of Mizukage Tsuyu Hoshigaki the following are legal.

SPOILER: Click to show

• Blasphemy - You are allowed to mock/insult religion. Kirigakure actually encourages you to as an Majorly Atheist community.
• Sodomy - Yeah this is legal. Have fun with this
• Homosexual Marriage - Male/Male or Female/female marriages are legal and considred equal to Male/Female Marriages. Those who do not consummate same-sex marriages are punishable by law.

Only listed laws below are the laws the village hidden in Mist upholds. If you do not see a law listed it means we do not follow such laws here within the village.

SPOILER: Click to show

I. Homicide

• Murder: Murder is a broad term. It is normally considered the taking of a human's life by another with intent or malice. However, in Naruto Forum Role-play even animals can be tried for murder. Note that in this world as creatures have intelligence and are able to speak it is possible murder would be further defined.
  
  
• Manslaughter: Manslaughter is the killing of another person without intent or malice. It is killing in self-defense or to protect one's property.
  
  
• Infanticide: In some places of the world, this is a very common crime, mainly due to the harsh penalties for other crimes. Unwed mothers can be faced with severe punishments if exposed and often kill their bastard children to conceal their guilt.
  
  
• Arson: Arson is considered a particularly appalling form of murder, perhaps because it is such a cowardly crime and so indiscriminate. At any rate, arson, is normally ranged among the crimes of murder. Furthermore, starting an uncontrolled fire poses a massive threat to property and the lives of many people due to the non-existent or limited nature of fire protection.

[/ol][/ul]

II. Assault and Battery

III. Larceny and Related Offenses

• Theft: Theft is classified into degrees based on the value of the property stolen. The punishment is set accordingly. Theft is normally defined as the taking of one's property without violence or the threat of violence. Thus, pickpockets and shoplifters would fall into this category. Destruction of privacy property (such as killing a man's horse) is treated the same way as theft.
  
  
• Burglary: A more serious form of theft which involved the breaking of barriers or safeguards in order to steal, i.e. windows, doors, locks.
  
  
• Robbery/Banditry/Piracy: Robbery is theft coupled with the use of violence or the threat of violence.
  
  
• Embezzlement: Considered a very serious crime, embezzlement is the taking of money by anyone entrusted with another's money such as a treasurer, city official or moneychanger.
  
  
• Falsification (Fraud): A catch-all term used to describe anyone who uses deceit to enrich himself at the expense of another. For example, if it is discovered a baker is selling underweight rolls at the going price of full weight rolls, he could be charged under laws governing falsification. Fraud on the Crown is treated more seriously.
  
  
• Coinage Offenses: This includes the crime of making of coins with a false die. It also could be defined as the minting of coins with low-grade metals with an official die. An official coin minter could easily be tempted to substitute inferior metals in his product and pocket the real stuff.
  
  
• Forgery: This is the making of false documents, use of false seals or the use of genuine seals and letters for unlawful purposes.
  
  
• False Pretenses: This is the use of false weights and measures and/or the making of false goods. This crime also includes cheating at gambling, bilking and pawn swindles.
  
  
• Defaulting on Debt: In many places it is tantamount to theft. The generally accepted grace period for a debt is one year, unless the parties have made other arrangements (sometimes shorter) in writing.
  
  
• Kidnapping: Usually used for purposes of extortion. Punishments can vary and depend on both the victim and the perpetrator. Nobles who are caught kidnapping serfs are released and perhaps assessed a light fine, while peasants caught kidnapping nobility are punished much more severely.
  
  
• Extortion/Blackmail: Extortion is the attempt to obtain goods, services or money through violence or threat. Blackmail is a type of extortion through threat of public exposure of secret information. Blackmailing nobility or royalty is considered a serious offense.

[/ol][/ul]

IV. Sexual Offenses

• Rape: Rape is the forcing of sexual relations upon another person who is unwilling or deemed unable to make a moral decision. Depending on the race and culture, rape is often associated only with women of good social standing, i.e. only virgins and widows could truly be raped. It is not likely that a man would be charged with rape if the woman is of questionable character: However, he is likely to be charged for fortification or adultery if the crime came to light. Ironically, in such a case, the victim could be charged as well.
• Adultery: This is sexual relations between two partners when at least one of the partners is married to someone else. The crime is worse than fornication, for an "innocent" spouse is being victimized. In addition, the breaking of the marriage vows is considered an act against the gods.
  
• Bestiality: Sexual relations between humans and animals.

[/ol][/ul]

V. Religious Offenses

1. Heresy: Heretics are persons who deviate from the normal traditions and established doctrines of a religion.
