Here is some general Naruto information that could help you in the character making process:
Bloodline Limits (Kekkei Genkai)-
First of all, to even have a bloodline limit, I expect a very thorough history on how you acquired it. Also, with some of these Kekkei Genkai, there are restrictions due to limits on number of characters that can have them. With that said-
Byakugan - White Eye (Hyuuga Clan)
Restrictions: Can only be used by Hyuuga Hinata, Hyuuga Neji, Hyuuga Hiashi, Hyuuga Hanabi.
Byakugan is the blood inheritance limit of the Hyuuga Clan. The Hyuuga clan was one of the founding noble families of Leaf village. The clan itself is said to be the ancestors of the Uchiha clan who possess the bloodline of the Sharingan eye. When the "Byakugan" is activated, the clan member gains an extra-sensory perception, which gives them penetrating sight and telescopic vision. This allows them to see the tenketsu; the internal chakra coils system 361 pressure points. This vision also grants the member a near 360° view of their surroundings, the higher the skill of the clan member, the further the distance from which they can sense incoming attacks. Unfortunately the vision does have a weakness, a small blind spot that extends outwards from the vertebra of the upper back.
The clan uses this ability in conjunction with their own chakra creating the Juuken (gentle fist) fighting style. The clan member can use their fingers or palms to emit chakra to flow into their opponents body's at the tenketsu points. When the hand draws close enough to strike, the clan member can stop or increase their opponent’s chakra flow. The internal chakra coils which spread throughout the body also wrap around the internal chakra producing organs. So if the internal coils are attacked, it also damages these internal organs. Because a ninja can not train their internal body, such damage can be a critical hit for even a highly skilled ninja. The tenketsu serve as the connectors and exit points for the chakra pathways. So when they are stopped by the Hyuuga clan member, the ninja greatly loses his or her ability to utilize their chakra for jutsu.
Hyouton Creation (Haku's Clan)
Restrictions: I will only allow 12 people to have this Kekkei Genkai.
This unnamed Ice Style ability is the blood inheritance limit of the Clan Haku hailed from in the Water Country. This unique Ice style is formed through Haku's simultaneous usage of the Water and Wind elemental styles. The citizens of the Water Country blamed the bloodline clans for the constant wars and strife. They turned against the bloodlines and murdered many of them. Clan members fled into hiding and tried to avoid using their bloodline abilities anymore for fear of being killed. The bloodline limit's powers allow the user to take water and freeze it into various forms of ice. Such an ability allows you to turn ice into senbon or into mirrors, or anything else for that matter..
Sharingan - Copying Wheel Eye (Uchiha Clan)
Restrictions: Only 4 users (Possibly 5. Waiting to see of Tobi is really Obito). Sasuke, Itachi, Uchiha Madara, and Hatake Kakashi.
Sharingan is the blood inheritance limit of the Uchiha Clan. The Uchiha are said to be descendants of the Hyuuga, with the Byakugan changing into the Sharingan over time. This doujutsu (eye skill) gives one the ability to read Genjutsu, Taijutsu and Ninjutsu and then defeat it. As such, the clan member can view a technique being performed and almost instantly memorize the movements required to be able to complete it, including the needed chakra moldings and seals used. However the clan member cannot copy techniques that are unique to another bloodline and the clan member must have a body capable of meeting the chakra and physical requirements to do the jutsu. This rarely stops the clan member though, as such stressful situations often push their limits farther and allow them to harness their full potential.
The Uchiha clan member is not granted the Sharingan at birth; it is only activated later in life, typically during a time of emotional stress in the heat of battle. The Sharingan itself can be transferred to another non-Uchiha by a medical ninja, such as happened with Leaf ninja Uchiha Obito to his teammate Hatake Kakashi. Because his body was not born to carry the Sharingan, the eye is always activated and it burns Kakashi's chakra when used. To lessen the impact of the Sharingan on Kakashi's body, he normally keeps the eye hidden and out of use. Also of note, is the fact Kakashi, a non-Uchiha, was able to advance the Sharingan from two tomoe to three tomoe after gaining the eye.
Shikotsu Myaku - Corpse Bone Pathways (Kaguya Clan)
Restrictions: Only 4 people will be allowed have this. Also, only custom characters can have this Kekkei Genkai, because the rest of this clan is dead. If you do want to have this bloodline limit, I'll expect a very good history as to why you are still alive and the rest of your clan died.
Shikotsu Myaku is the blood inheritance limit of the Kaguya Clan. The Kaguya clan hailed from Hidden Mist and they were known for their love of battle. They foolishly decided to challenge their home country and they were all supposedly wiped out. This clan has the ability to manipulate their bone structure. They can remove their bones at will to create weapons as strong as steel and also use their ability to spurn the creation of new bones. Taijutsu techniques can be mixed with body movement and the ability to extend bones.
Akatsuki-
This organization consists of nine highly dangerous S-Ranked Missing-Nins whose base of operations is currently unknown. When traveling the group moves in groups of two. To apply for an Akatsuki member, you will need to PM a staff member your sample post. The staff member then will personally review it, and essentially accept it or deny it. Please realize that Akatsuki members won't be making very frequent pop ups in the normal community. However, to keep Akatsuki members interested, there will be a seperate Akatsuki Lair. Akatsuki members, feel free to post there.
A general notice: If you are don't posting in a thread, please on the last post of that thread have an OOC (Out Of Character) post saying it's finished. This will help us maintain a healthy board.
Jutsu's-
At the start, Gennin get a choice of 5 Jutsu's, Chuunin 8 Justu's, Jounin 12 Jutsu's, and ANBU 15 Jutsu's. With any kind of Kage, S-Class Criminal, or Akatsuki, the starting number is unlimited. If you're a missing nin, a staff member will review your profile, and tell you what rank you are. Depending on this rank, the staff member will also tell you your starting number of jutsu's. After the start, every 70 posts, your character can choose a new jutsu. For a list of jutsu's, please visit www.leafninja.com.
Let's say that you are a Cannon character, such as, Sasuke, and we the staff permit Sasuke to start with say, 7 jutsu's. However, Sasuke may have, oh say, 10 jutsu's. This means that he can get the first 7 immediatly, but has to train with someone like Orochimaru, or just generally post, in Orochimaru's Castle to acquire the next 3. After these three, he is free to gain abilities as anyone else would.
To actually use your jutsu's, you need to register them. Do this in the Jutsu registration thread. As soon as you make a joining profile, you should also make a thread within the jutsu registration board with your name on it. Every jutsu that you have or acquire should be posted within your thread in this board. Once posted in your thread, a staff member will either approve it, or ask you to change it. These threads will become quite useful when fighting someone in case their posting is unclear, and you don't know how an attack works.
Want to make your own Jutsu? It's pretty simple. Rather than taking a jutsu every 70 posts, if you don't pick one for 2, 70 post intervals, you will be allowed to make one. For example:
Let's say you just start at this site. So, as you go along, you acquire 70 posts. Now you have two options. You can either A. Get a jutsu off the leaf ninja sites' list or B. Wait. So you choose to wait. A few days later you get to 140 posts. Now you have 2 options once again. First option, Pick a 2 Jutsu's off the list. Second option, Create a Jutsu for your character, and add it to your jutsu registration thread. Once you add this Jutsu to your jutsu registration thread, it will either be approved or not approved.
By the way, please keep in mind your rank. A genin, should not be able to do an abnormally strong jutsu such as Rasengan (unless your Naruto).
Hey, feel like 70 posts is too much, and that you need to get Jutsu's in a shorter time? Well, you can train with your squad leader (only applies for Genin, and Chuunin). Essentially this works like this; you send a PM to your squad leader asking if he will train you. He will either accept or decline. If he accepts, make a thread in the training grounds for you to train. Training is the only time when posting in two places is permitted, e.x. you can train in the training grounds, and RP in the main story at the same time. By using training, you can accomplish Jutsu's by 35 posts. Create a Jutsu does not work with training. Your character can only train twice a month.
Raising your Rank-
Custom Characters must start out as a Genin or Chuunin, nothing higher. So, if you're a Genin, and you want to become a Chuunin, you must take the Chuunin exam. Here, the Chuunin exam is essentially a tournement. To even register for the exam, you need 150 posts, and you need to have successfully completed at least 2 missions (to find a list of missions, look in your country's Kage office. The Kage of the country will hand one out to you.) For the exam to even take place there must be at least 8 Genin willing to take the test. Registration will be taken at the exam grounds, you simply add your name to the list. The exam grounds are also the grounds on which the Chuunin exam will take place. Essentially it is a tournement, and the top 4 pass. Each Genin fights the other in this tournement (Tournement is in bracket form. We will PM you the tournement ladder when enough people have registered. When you're ready to fight, simply make a thread entitled, "Chuunin Exam Round: (whatever the round is), A vs. B." Keep in mind, A and B will be the names of the participants in that round.). The test moderator will choose who wins each fight by judging you on your posting skill.
In order to become a Jounin or Higher (assuming you're a Chuunin), you need to PM a staff member a sample post as the commanding officer, in that rank, on a mission looking for a missing nin. Based on your sample RP post, we will decide if you can advance. A Chuunin must wait have completed at least 4, C-Rank or higher missions to apply for Jounin.
Missing NInja (Missing Nin)-
If you are a missing nin, you must break into any country you try and enter. Keep in mind that your own country is after you, and popping up in obvious positions and never leaving will make it much, much easier for people to capture. Remember, your name is on the bingo book, and getting captured is not a good thing.
For those trying to capture a missing nin. Depending on the class of the missing nin, you will accordingly be awarded Karma for every missing nin that you apprehend.
Missions-
We are going to have a ranking system based on number of missions completed successfully to number of missions failed. The percent of the ratio will be posted in the ranking board, and will be updated every month. This ranking system gives insentive for you to complete missions and become the best. However for us to do this, we need you, the members, to put your success to faliure ratio in your signature.
Some people may ask how you could fail a mission. It's quite simple really; You might be asked to escort someone to another village, but he may be killed on the way by other ninja's from other countries. For example, the lightning country holds no alliances, and may want to take power from another country. To do this, the would do whatever in their power to make another country fail their missions. I think you get the point.
On an actual RPG note, the more successful missions you have, the more likely you are to recieve a mission from the hokage. Also as one could imagine, the less number of successes you have and more faliures equals little to no missions.
Kage's-
The only two country's where the characters for the Kage's are set, are the Fire Country, and the Wind Country.
Fire Country (Hokage)- Tsunade
Wind Country (Kazekage)- Gaara
For all other countries, the Kage's can be custom characters.
Whilst Using The Sharingan-
If you do use shadow clones against a Sharingan user, and the sharingan user has activated his sharingan, the person who made the clones must PM the Sharingan user telling him which one is the real one.
Bloodline Limits (Kekkei Genkai)-
First of all, to even have a bloodline limit, I expect a very thorough history on how you acquired it. Also, with some of these Kekkei Genkai, there are restrictions due to limits on number of characters that can have them. With that said-
