Hey I've got an idea for a rp site based off of one of my personal favorite anime/manga of all time, one that is really near and dear to me. Naruto.
I know, it's been done and is probably being done currently but still, I've always had an issue with how all the past Naruto sites function and found thier rules and systems very limiting when trying to even create a character to play. Additionally I'm not sold on setting it in the typical naruto villages but am leaning towards a post 1st ninja war, early village creation setting.
I've also grown very tired of how rp forums are run "traditionally" and I want to create a site that is governed by the members and simply/gently guided by the staff. I want ninja clans and families to actually exist in character, yakuza-esk organizations, fudal lords and thier vassals... the works.
If you've read this far and I've peaked your interest then here is a taste of what I'm imagining:
A simple and clean place to start, Ninja Academy. We'll start small with members playing as academy students and the academy teachers will collectively be played by staff who will also fill more pivotal character roles (ie future squad leaders, villains, Kage, ect.)
We'll have the members characters form bonds with thier classmates, learn basics about taijutsu, ninjutsu and genjutsu, do ninja training exercises and academy competitions. Characters can only graduate after mastering 3 jutsu (all characters start with zero), participating in classes, exercises and competitions as well as having two other characters to form a squad. The Exam to graduate will be held in accordance to each village independently and each village will manage and conduct thier exams as they see fit.
As students become Genin they will then progress under the tutelage of their squad leaders and partake in missions. Squad leaders will be responsible for assisting their team grow by assigning them missions and further training exercises. A team qualifies to participate in Chunin exams after they have mastered at least three C-Ranked jutsu and one B-Ranked, six C-Ranked or survived one B-ranked mission. A Chunin exam can be held by a single village or multiple villages as long as there are at least 3 teams participating. Kage can also grant the rank of Chunin to Genin if they are deserving of it.
Members who play chunin characters will be expected to complete simple tasks like hosting academy training excersices and competitions or taking Genin on E-D ranked missions in place of squad leaders. One task per month should be completed and this will also serve as the chunin activity check.
So, basically what I'm envisioning here is a site where not only do members develop thier characters in actual RP but their characters go on to become contributing members of the village and the members themselves transition into staff positions as thier character becomes stronger.
But here's the thing, one of the major issues I've had with Naruto RP in the past is this: they aren't death enabled. The life of a ninja is not guaranteed and is often short. Yes, in times of peace it is unlikely that death will occur however, there is always the possibility.
On this site all Genin and Chunin will be death enabled in C-Rank missions, all Jonin and higher will be death enabled always. The caveat here is whenever a character dies its owner may create a new one of the same rank and amount of jutsu +1 free jutsu of any rank matching thier status.
On the topic of jutsu, members will submit thier jutsu for staff review but all jutsu will be approved. All. No matter how overpowered it might /seem/. I say seem because characters will have to train to learn their jutsu in character. All staff will do is determine how much chakra the jutsu will cost. If it costs more than the member can afford they can either edit thier jutsu and resubmit for review or do more training to lower the cost.
"Power creep" will be managed via a chakra system with three limiting factors: the amount of chakra a character possesses, how much chakra they can utalize and thier growth in these two areas.
There are many more aspects that I have planned out but none of it will ever come to fruition without help. If this project sounds like something you would be interested in or you have questions please send me a PM and I will reply ASAP.
