General Rules
Be Respectful
Don't troll, bait, harass, or otherwise be a jerk to other members or staff. We're all here to have fun and dealing with this kind of drama isn't fun for any of us.
Don't Spam
I define spam as any post outside of the proper posting area. Double posting is only allowed if you declare your thread a solo thread. If you need a section for something, please don't hesitate to remind the admin.
No Begging
Please do not beg staff to look at your profile, shop, thread, anything else. We are busy. Also, don't beg other members for threads, posts, money, items, ect.
Timeline
For the most part we follow along with the Japanese anime. Meaning, watching it with English subs is a better view of what we have going on here than watching it dubbed. Also, we may veer off track of the anime from time to time. One could say we are a bit AU but with canon characters. After all, we do allow some 'dead' characters on the site. We allow threads set in the past or present but not the future as of yet. The most logical place for a split is right after Pain has been defeated.
One Account
Only one account per person. To keep up with your characters, we will allow you to make a thread with links to all of them and then link that in your signature.
Character Rules
4 Character Limit
Everyone is allowed four characters. There is a two canon limit and the two can not be from the same village or be closely related. However, in rare cases, we might be willing to approve you for more depending on your activity and writing.
One Jounin Per Person
Jounin are not the most common ninja, they are special due to their strength. Don't worry, even if you don't apply as a jounin you can still take part in the exams to be promoted, even with another jounin. This includes special jounin. I encourage you to apply as a genin or chunin as they have the most room for growth.
Kage
Kage are to be tried out for by members who are firmly settled in on our forum; as they are the strongest group on the site. We are willing to instate Kage for other villages, as well. All you have to do is submit the village for consideration and we will open tryouts.
Uchiha/Inherited Jutsu
We will be limiting the number of Uchiha OCs and inherited canon jutsus on OCs to nearly none, if any at all. If you are not allowed to apply with it, you can anyways try to obtain it later on with another character or your current one. It's never too late to learn new skills. No OC can possess an advanced form of an inherited jutsu until they learn in through rp and purchase the slot for it. We prefer that you develop your own inherited jutsu. I find it hard to believe that we have seen all of the strong ninja families in the world of Naruto.
Jinchuriki
Tailed beasts and their partners will be kept canon unless we have an event to redistribute them. Yes, this means even if someone is dead in the anime you can apply for and rp as them.
Summonings
These are limited, but not as much as anything else. We encourage you to be unique with your original characters and not use canon summonings.
Dead Characters
You can app dead characters. However, we do ask that you either keep them in their own timeline or you explain how they are alive in the present.
OCs and Canon Connections
If your character must be connected to a canon in any way please make it as believable as possible. Also, please limit the canons you are connected to upon application. We can not have everyone be best friends or brothers/sisters of canon characters. However, distant relations that are obscure enough to be forgotten as well as being in the same class are allowed. It's not encouraged, but it is allowed.
