ninjas_are_smex - Profile (original) (raw)

About the Community

This community was a result of our obsessive love for an amazing anime/manga filled with very sexy ninjas, namely Naruto.

Anyhoo. This is a Naruto community made for Naruto Role-Players in the LiveJournal world.
*nods* Yes, a Naruto RP Community.

What is RPing?

RPing is role-playing -- a person creates a character and role plays as them in a text-based game which could be compared to a multi-authored, interactive story of sorts. Basically, Role-Play is where you can act like a certain character, be like a certain character, eat like a certain character, sleep like a certain character, love like a certain character… and so forth.

General Guidelines

Things to go for:

1. Descriptive posts
2. Character development
3. Posting regularly
4. Plots -- Generally speaking, the plot should be determined by the topic's original poster. When (1) other RPers try to change the plot without first consulting the author, or (2) the author has absolutely no plot in mind, the RP tends to die a horrible, spammy death.
5. Discussion -- Talk to the other RPers --either through posts on the OOC forum, email, or IM-- if you have a question, and sort out problems and questions as they arise.
6. Know your stuff -- It might sounds stupid, but it isn't really. Before thinking of RPing Naruto, you should know in general what the anime/manga is. How are you to ever act in character if you don't even know a thing about the character you are playing?

Things to avoid:

1. Character control -- This is using other RPer's characters without their consent, often portraying them out of character. If you can, don't control them at all; if you must, keep the control down to a bare minimum -- one or two lines of dialogue or a non-offensive, non-character-altering action/reaction or two. (You may be able to do more if you have the express permission of the poster whose characters you want to control -- doing a coauthors post is another alternative to char-control).
2. Damage-calling or "auto-ing" -- This is when you use an attack...and you also write out what damage it does or how your opponent responds, without giving that RPer a chance to respond to it themselves.

Important Notice

This is originally a selective RP; that is, to be a member of Ninjas are Smex you must first be approved by the mod, that is, me (sexy_weasel). I will not answer to any application for the moment, unless you were recommended by one of the two current members (Yuki and Hiro). I'm sorry, but this is a restricted and private community, something that is a group choice, and will stay that way unless we feel otherwise.

Naruto Characters

In theory, you can take any character you wish (unless someone else is already playing him). However, I would appreciate if you were to stay away from the youngest ones and stick to adults (or almost adults). This is to be a mature RP, and since I'll try to keep Shota to a minimum, choosing one of the Genins can only bring complications (but if you convince me, I may do an exception).
