gakure - Profile (original) (raw)

Please read the rules and FAQ before posting!

Welcome to the roleplay LiveJournal of Gakure, village of the short-bus shinobi. We're a village of ninjas with less-than-spectacular abilities and often debilitating problems. Got a ninja who needs a little extra lovin'? This is the place for them!

We're a fully-functional ninja village located in the uninhabited far corner of the sand country. We very much resemble Konoha, mainly because the first of our nins came from this village. Gakure has a ninja academy, takes on missions of all ranks, and is entirely self-sufficient. It is hidden from most of the world and difficult to find if you don't already know where it is.

Please visit our y!Gallery club for more information and images of our nins! We would appreciate all members of this LJ group to join the y!Gallery group, as well.

RULES
read or die

  1. NO FLAME WARS. This is an RP board. It is only an RP board. It os not real-life. If your character is in a fight with another character, remember, your characters are fighting, not you! All conflicts must be handled personally over AIM, not on this board.

  2. NO GODMODING. There shouldn't be much cause for this rule, but just in case, godmodding is a no.

Now that we've gotten the big two out of the way, here are the rest of the little details-

  1. Please don't try to kill someone else's character unless you've already agreed on it. This just causes huge fights and is pretty pointless for all involved.

  2. Try to keep interaction with established Naruto characters to a minimum. For one, Gakure isn't set in any particular spot on the Naruto timeline. For another, it breeds Mary-Sues, which nobody likes. To go along with this rule-

4a) While it's not specifically against the rules, keep characters who belong to established Naruto clans to a very small number. While it's plausible for a few random short-bus Hyuga clan members to be running around with no idea how to use the Byakugan, it's not likely Gakure would be overrun with them. And since the Uchihas are all dead, there wouldn't be many of them around, either.

  1. Not everyone can be a jounin. Please keep in mind that even though this is a fully-functional ninja village, it is also a SHORT-BUS ninja village, which means that all the residents will take a little more care and training to reach the higher ninja levels. On average, students should remain students until they're 12-13. They likely won't take the Chuunin exam for the first time until they're 15-16. There are exceptions, but please don't think your ninja has to be the best. A village needs its genin and chuunin, too!
