Here's the link to the role-play: http://www.rpnation.com/showthread.php/5207-Shinobi-Rising-Naruto-RP?p=184167#post184167
INTRO
Centuries have passed since the Fourth Shinobi World War, subtly rebuilding back into the strong and correct nation that Konoha once was. The nine Bijuu(tailed beast) have been sealed individually into specialized pots with the village's kanji imprinted on it and safely taken into the care of the 'nine' villages to be strictly guarded, so that no longer will anyone be forced to carry on the pain of a jinchuuriki and no longer shall the Bijuus be used as a military weapon. It's not exactly understood where these Bijuu lie at, but assumingly in the nine villages which are ranked most advanced.
The nine villages:
•Konohagakure- Chōmei
•Kumogakure- Kurama
•Sunagakure- Gyūki
•Amegakure-Saiken
•Otogakure-Matatabi
•Iwagakure- Shukaku
•Kirigakure-Isobu
•Takigakure- Son Gokū
•Yukigakure-Kokuō
Although, these specialized pot's power is limited, unable to withhold the three remaining (three most powerful) Bijuu and are currently sealed within three jinchuuriki until otherwise. (The pots are fueled by chakra and sadly isn't efficient enough to withhold the remaining three. )This is to be remained a strict secret which only the elders and Kage are to know about-possibly not even the holder of the Bijuu is to realize his or her own 'gift,' depending on what the Kage has in mind. (Which means the three remaining pots are empty. ) However, villagers within Kumogakure have came upon the discovery of the Jinchuuriki within their village, leading to the treaty of the nine villages to suspect weaponry uses of the Bijuus. Due to this, the officials of Kumogakure have been relentlessly working day and night to reinsure the people of the village that "everything will be taken care of." As a result of all the conflicts between villages, the question of the Chunin exams even taking place this year has brought a lot of concerns about to wither cancel it or not. Luckily, officials haven't declared the Chunin exams to be canceled, and announced that it would be held as it has always been. This year being placed in Kumogakure.
The Akatsuki has been completely wiped out and any information on them is kept from any type of history book, leaving a gap in information most likely due to the fears of the organization reforming again( or an organization similar to them). The only ones who know of them are those who have been passed down information or the higher ranking shinobi working as ANBU. However, it's been several years without a major crime occurring, how can anyone have suspicions to that degree?
(AKA: The 'Akatsuki' is subtly rebuilding itself and they probably won't become 'known' until the four year time skip after the Chunin exams. It all depends on how the roleplay goes. )
Rules in general:
1.) No text-talk.
People may not be able to understand you and frankly it just sounds better saying "How are you?" rather than "How r u?"
2.) I would prefer you to write more than one or two sentences (at least a paragraph maybe?) It's fine posting a few short post every once and awhile, but it's a bit hard to work with a brief sentence all the time. Try being descriptive to help the role-play improve. (Ex: How are they feeling? What do they see? Etc.) It makes everything a bit more fun.
3.) Use good grammar. A few mistakes are fine (we all make them) but too many might annoy others/ it's hard to read. If you have spell check, use it. Of course, out of character chat is perfectly fine to make errors.
4.) No killing off other characters/doing great damage without their permission. (Ex: don't break someone's character's arm/leg/etc unless they say it's ok.)
5.) Romance (Hetero/Homosexual) is fine, but keep it to a PG-13 if there is any.
6.) Be nice. When you're in character, it's perfectly fine to be rude/mean/etc. but out-of character it would be best if you were nice toward others.
7.) No god modding (Aka: over powering ) It's unfair for others and isn't fun when there's no way of winning/not being able to lay down a single affective attack
Character rules:
1.)Try making your characters age suitable to their strength. Ex: if your character seems to be stronger than the rest, then an older age would probably be more suitable- this isn't always the case, though. (Prodigies such as Uchihas and Hyuugas will most likely be excused to some degree.)
2.) I'd prefer it if you read through the other character's abilities and attempted to change things up a bit. Teams are usually assigned by abilities, so if there's someone whose only good at ninjutsu, then another one's best at genjutsu, then things would be more evened if there was a character who was good at taijutsu. Of course, this doesn't go for every single character in the roleplay, but for the characters who are in the same village as your character, because they're most likely to get teamed together. It doesn't always /have/ to be like this, but what I'm saying is that I don't want a team that just works in ninjutsu only or etcetera.
3.) If you make a character for the Akatsuki, I would like for the ages to be at least be 20 or up. I don't think it's very realistic for a 12-15 year old to be in an evil organization...which pretty much goes with the first rule. Also, I'd prefer it if you stayed original and use your imagine. Be creative.
4.) There are three teams so far, all from a different village.
•Konohagakure
•Sunagakure
•Kumogakure
If the team for the village that you want is already filled up, then choose another. If all the Teams are filled, then I'll add another team from a different village. Scroll down to "Team placements" to see if a team is already filled.
5.) I don't want one team to be just all girls or all boys. I'd like for you to at least look at the gender of the team member(s) in the team you want and mix it up a little. There's not many teams in the actual series where it's just all girls or boys and I guess it's kind of boring seeing the same thing all the time? I'm not exactly sure what I'm trying to say, but you get the idea.
6.) I'll allow you to make 1-4 characters, but i'd prefer it if you didn't make any more than 4,
due to the fact that there might be others who would enjoy to play. Although making characters and coming up with new ideas is fun, we have to leave room for others.
7.) There should be one Jinchuuriki in each team. The Bijuus won't be in the same villages as before and are mixed around. Also, like in #5 I don't want them to be all girls/boys. Since no one knows about their 'gift' that shouldn't be used as an excuse to make them hated or angry at the world. Not to say that they can't be 'angry' or not 'hate the world' but just not for that particular reason.
*NOTE: The roles of Jinchuurikis are NOT first come first serve. Which ever characters that I deem most suitable or strikes my interest more than the rest, will most likely be the ones chosen.*Once we have enough members to start the role-play I'll probably start to choose Jinchuuriki.

Name: Kawaguchi Reizo
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Rank: Genin
Affiliation: Kumogakure
Likes:
•Mints in general
•Having control over situations
•Those who stand by their word
Dislikes:
•No good scums
•Overwhelming temperatures
•Disrespect of those who he deems worthy.
Appearance: Reizo stands above his peers, proudly being one of the tallest of his age group with an athletic build, strong bone structure, and a lean body, he's considered to be quite handsome. He has a dark skin tone with radiant fair skin and of course a few occasional blemishes here and there. Ebony black hair covers his head that's neatly kept out of his piercing orange eyes in several braids but don't go past his neck. His outfit is rather simple, all either being in black, gray, white, and red. He wears a collard, knee-length, gray jacket worn zipped up with long hemlines in the front, bearing his arms and shoulders (Aka: it's sleeve-less). The tips of his collar and sleeves are jagged, looking as if it wear cut off by hand- and poorly at that. Over that is a white holster vest held in place by a single strap over his left shoulder and by two white buckled belts that hold his katana on his back. He wears a pair of black pants and ankle-high blue sandals with gray leg armor that reaches a little under his knees. Wrapped around his hips is a red bandana with a plate attached to it. Engraved on that plate is the Kumogakure symbol.
Personality: Reizo has always been relatively mature, sharp, and responsible; with an amazing knack for keeping up with things and recalling certain conversations, busy parents have always relied on him for baby sitting duties. He's commonly shown with a calm and collective demeanor, able to keep a cool head in almost any high-strung situation, (which is a good trait to have) and is rarely shown angry or frustrated.
He has a talent for keeping a clear mind, able to restrain (worried, nervous, etc.) feeling and thoughts from interfering with his capabilities.
He likes to think situations through and come up with strategies before jumping into things due to his cautious habits. Despite his relaxed demeanor, he's fully capable of becoming dead-serious when the situation calls for it and will bark out orders and commands for his team to follow, which he finds himself acting out as leader regardless. He appears to be quite respectful toward powerful shinobi, despite if they're the enemy or not.
Abilities: Reizo has various weapons which he carries around with him, ranging from swords all the way to chains and tantos. His family is well known for running weaponry shops so he's almost always loaded with the essentials. So as you can imagine, he specializes in the weaponry department and can put on quite a show when it comes down to flashing the blade of his Katana. He's impressively fast and swift on his feet, and has precise aiming, something that has always gained the attention of his peers and elders. Like most others in the area of Kumogakure, his element is lightning, to which he fuses with his various amounts of shinny weapons. This is partially why his weapons consist of mainly metals, being able generate the lightning better than with something such as wood. This is used to increase the piercing power through vibrations with the added effect of inducing numbness. Narutopedia- "When the technique is released from their bodies, and thus not requiring physical contact, it does not move as fast as true lightning. Instead, due to the control the user has to exert over it, it moves far slower, which can give opponents time to still react." So even though Lightning release allows for fast movement, the speed rate of his is far much slower due to the fact that physical contact isn't required.
Background: Reizo comes from a big family of older siblings as well as younger siblings. So as you can imagine, he's learned to have to show his teeth when it comes to getting something he wants, wither that be eating the last cookie or something as to wanting privacy and so on, so forth. Things have always been fairly hectic, with a bunch of hot headed siblings; he surprisingly turned out quite the opposite, which comes to no surprise why he has always been deemed the responsible one. This is probably where he learned to act out as a leader rather than being the one taking the commands and being someone's errand boy, to which he'll have no part in. However there have been cases where he had differences with his siblings, they still care for one another and work as a unit. Ideally, family stick together regardless of differences and to be frank, you just don't screw with family no matter who you are. Having to feed a bunch of children is a lot of hard work and pay, so ultimately, Reizo started Academy at a later age than most, however he did fairly well. There were times where he made As and then there were classes he would fail because he had no interest in them, so he could have been A student if he wanted. As for social status, he was your average classmate. He was more popular among the teachers rather than others of his age group, which sort of lowered his status a bit. Eventually, he passed and was assigned a team that later crumbled due to one of the members quitting for reasons such as the lack of interest. To be able to enter the Chunin exams, he was assigned to a new team a few years later.

Name: Himura Isako
Age: 14
Gender: Female
Rank: Genin
Affiliation: Sunagakure
Likes:
•Various smells and perfumes
•The warmth of the sun
•Soft and smooth textures
•Justice
Dislikes:
•The icy cold or being cold
• Criminals
•Crying or feeling weak and helpless
Appearance: Isako stands at a short height, reaching only a few inches below the average height for her age group and is probably the shortest of her peers. She has an olive skin tone from the year-round sun that shines constantly, except for the night sky, and remains a clear complexion besides a few occasional blemishes here and there. Untamed sandy blonde hair covers her head, reaching a little past her shoulders and styled in a way which the top part of her hair is boy-short, wildly hanging in all directions (Kind of like a mullet). A black cloth is tied tightly over her dulled and useless baby blue eyes, a metal plate being attached to said clothe with the Sunagakure symbol in graved in it. White bandages cover most of her face, from her ears to her chin; all expect the tip of her nose and mouth. Her outfit consists of an off-shoulders, loose, brown one piece with the bottom part of the clothing cut off at the thighs to form shorts and her sleeves hang past her hands. Darker brown belts are tied around her torso and arms to keep her outfit still (or up?) and from causing a distraction. (in other words, it's difficult having to adjust a sleeve or attempt to brake free from a twig that caught a piece of clothe. I'm imagining she's probably going to have quite a few 'i'm stuck to a twig' problem. lol ) White bandages are tied loosely around her neck, looking similar to a scarf but in a more messy fashion along with bandages around her fists, thighs, and knees down. Her arms, though remain out of sight, have storage seals covering her forearms and are often times messily covered by bandages that sink past her sleeves in what most commonly looks like an awful costume that was suppose to be claws. ( or at least to me, it does.) Strangely, she doesn't like wearing shoes and most of the time will be shown with just bandages wrapped around her bare feet, however, there will probably be occasions where she will wear shoes and in that case, will be black ankle-high open-toed sandals.
Personality: Isako's quite brave, despite lacking the ability to see and inheriting a rather non intimidating appearance(Aka: her short height). However she does realize her shortcomings, she's not the type to retreat and will stand ground to think of a strategy in order to benefit her team instead of standing aside as if she were useless. Due to her own misfortunes, she dislikes people who feel sorry for themselves, claiming that "you can complain about it, you can pity yourself and a lot of other things but it's not going to make the situation better." Basically, she hates showing her weaker side to anyone and will deny any sort of "weak" feelings she has, even though it may be obvious. (Aka: sad feelings/ crying would probably be considered weak to her- even though she may have those feelings, she doesn't like admitting it.)
She appears to be rather cheerful and happy go-lucky around people she knows fairly well, with a sort-of tomboyish demeanor. Others would deem her as just plain weird. So I guess you could say she doesn't exactly fit the 'cold-hearted suna nin' stereotype.
Abilities: Due to her blindness, her other senses have seemed to increase to some degree, such as sound, smell, and feel. This plays a big role in why she prefers to be barefooted, able to feel the vibrations in the ground(tiles, concrete, etc don't count) and tell when someone is in range. (Aka: she can only tell if the person is close up.) She's also able to keep up with certain smells and often times request that her team mates wear a certain perfume during a battle to which she can identify them as- as weird as that may be. As for sound, I don't think I need to explain, but to keep it brief- she can pick up on certain sounds, regardless if it's subtle and this will probably come in more handy than anything else.
She works best in close range battles but absolutely terrible in long range battles. Due to her heightened senses, she works better in Taijutsu, with her Ninjutsu being average. Storage seals cover her forearms, used to carry rolls of clothe to which she controls at will using a minimum amount of chakra- usually intended to lock the opponent in place but can be used for other things. This technique can be used close ranged to midrange, but Isako seems to have an easier amount of time using this close ranged. This is probably her only special technique and the rest is Taijutsu.
Background: Isako was born with infantile glaucoma and eventually became completely blind.( (Glaucoma is an eye disease in which the optic nerve is damaged in a characteristic pattern. This can permanently damage vision in the affected eye(s) and lead to blindness if left untreated)) However, shes never let this bring her down and strives to accomplish her dreams/ do her best instead of sulking about something that she doesn't have the power to change. Her dream is to become Kazekage, even though the likeliness of that is low, she likes to think of herself as the future leader of Sunagakure. ( or possibly a dictator lol.)
Extra: There's a bit more in her background that I didn't add but I guess it's not very important. I guess she's like this generation's Naruto?

Like most others in the area of Kumogakure, his element is lightning, to which he fuses with his various amounts of shinny weapons. This is partially why his weapons consist of mainly metals, being able generate the lightning better than with something such as wood. This is used to increase the piercing power through vibrations with the added effect of inducing numbness. Narutopedia- "When the technique is released from their bodies, and thus not requiring physical contact, it does not move as fast as true lightning. Instead, due to the control the user has to exert over it, it moves far slower, which can give opponents time to still react." So even though Lightning release allows for fast movement, the speed rate of his is far much slower due to the fact that physical contact isn't required.
Background: Reizo comes from a big family of older siblings as well as younger siblings. So as you can imagine, he's learned to have to show his teeth when it comes to getting something he wants, wither that be eating the last cookie or something as to wanting privacy and so on, so forth. Things have always been fairly hectic, with a bunch of hot headed siblings; he surprisingly turned out quite the opposite, which comes to no surprise why he has always been deemed the responsible one. This is probably where he learned to act out as a leader rather than being the one taking the commands and being someone's errand boy, to which he'll have no part in. However there have been cases where he had differences with his siblings, they still care for one another and work as a unit. Ideally, family stick together regardless of differences and to be frank, you just don't screw with family no matter who you are. Having to feed a bunch of children is a lot of hard work and pay, so ultimately, Reizo started Academy at a later age than most, however he did fairly well. There were times where he made As and then there were classes he would fail because he had no interest in them, so he could have been A student if he wanted. As for social status, he was your average classmate. He was more popular among the teachers rather than others of his age group, which sort of lowered his status a bit. Eventually, he passed and was assigned a team that later crumbled due to one of the members quitting for reasons such as the lack of interest. To be able to enter the Chunin exams, he was assigned to a new team a few years later.

Appearance: Isako stands at a short height, reaching only a few inches below the average height for her age group and is probably the shortest of her peers. She has an olive skin tone from the year-round sun that shines constantly, except for the night sky, and remains a clear complexion besides a few occasional blemishes here and there. Untamed sandy blonde hair covers her head, reaching a little past her shoulders and styled in a way which the top part of her hair is boy-short, wildly hanging in all directions (Kind of like a mullet). A black cloth is tied tightly over her dulled and useless baby blue eyes, a metal plate being attached to said clothe with the Sunagakure symbol in graved in it. White bandages cover most of her face, from her ears to her chin; all expect the tip of her nose and mouth. Her outfit consists of an off-shoulders, loose, brown one piece with the bottom part of the clothing cut off at the thighs to form shorts and her sleeves hang past her hands. Darker brown belts are tied around her torso and arms to keep her outfit still (or up?) and from causing a distraction. (in other words, it's difficult having to adjust a sleeve or attempt to brake free from a twig that caught a piece of clothe. I'm imagining she's probably going to have quite a few 'i'm stuck to a twig' problem. lol ) White bandages are tied loosely around her neck, looking similar to a scarf but in a more messy fashion along with bandages around her fists, thighs, and knees down. Her arms, though remain out of sight, have storage seals covering her forearms and are often times messily covered by bandages that sink past her sleeves in what most commonly looks like an awful costume that was suppose to be claws. ( or at least to me, it does.) Strangely, she doesn't like wearing shoes and most of the time will be shown with just bandages wrapped around her bare feet, however, there will probably be occasions where she will wear shoes and in that case, will be black ankle-high open-toed sandals.
Personality: Isako's quite brave, despite lacking the ability to see and inheriting a rather non intimidating appearance(Aka: her short height). However she does realize her shortcomings, she's not the type to retreat and will stand ground to think of a strategy in order to benefit her team instead of standing aside as if she were useless. Due to her own misfortunes, she dislikes people who feel sorry for themselves, claiming that "you can complain about it, you can pity yourself and a lot of other things but it's not going to make the situation better." Basically, she hates showing her weaker side to anyone and will deny any sort of "weak" feelings she has, even though it may be obvious. (Aka: sad feelings/ crying would probably be considered weak to her- even though she may have those feelings, she doesn't like admitting it.)
She appears to be rather cheerful and happy go-lucky around people she knows fairly well, with a sort-of tomboyish demeanor. Others would deem her as just plain weird. So I guess you could say she doesn't exactly fit the 'cold-hearted suna nin' stereotype.
Abilities: Due to her blindness, her other senses have seemed to increase to some degree, such as sound, smell, and feel. This plays a big role in why she prefers to be barefooted, able to feel the vibrations in the ground(tiles, concrete, etc don't count) and tell when someone is in range. (Aka: she can only tell if the person is close up.) She's also able to keep up with certain smells and often times request that her team mates wear a certain perfume during a battle to which she can identify them as- as weird as that may be. As for sound, I don't think I need to explain, but to keep it brief- she can pick up on certain sounds, regardless if it's subtle and this will probably come in more handy than anything else.
She works best in close range battles but absolutely terrible in long range battles. Due to her heightened senses, she works better in Taijutsu, with her Ninjutsu being average. Storage seals cover her forearms, used to carry rolls of clothe to which she controls at will using a minimum amount of chakra- usually intended to lock the opponent in place but can be used for other things. This technique can be used close ranged to midrange, but Isako seems to have an easier amount of time using this close ranged. This is probably her only special technique and the rest is Taijutsu.
Background: Isako was born with infantile glaucoma and eventually became completely blind.( (Glaucoma is an eye disease in which the optic nerve is damaged in a characteristic pattern. This can permanently damage vision in the affected eye(s) and lead to blindness if left untreated)) However, shes never let this bring her down and strives to accomplish her dreams/ do her best instead of sulking about something that she doesn't have the power to change. Her dream is to become Kazekage, even though the likeliness of that is low, she likes to think of herself as the future leader of Sunagakure. ( or possibly a dictator lol.)
Extra: There's a bit more in her background that I didn't add but I guess it's not very important. I guess she's like this generation's Naruto?
