Creation Guide

Welcome to the character creation guide of NarutoR, otherwise known as Ingoo. This is an extremely important guide that you must read before making your character here. The character creation process, and approval process will go by really nicely and easily if you follow all of the guide lines and rules that are listed here. The very first thing that should be mentioned and talked about is the title of your character creation template. When you are building a character, its "Title of the topic" should be the characters name, last name before the first name, separated by a comma. In this way, if you were making a character called Naruto Uzumaki, the title would be "Uzumaki, Naruto." This is just so that it is easy to find, and not confusing. Mods/admins will greatly appreciate this as it makes their job all the more easy. Below is the character template that you are going to use when building a character. You are allowed to customize it as you like, so long as it still holds all of the main info in there, and is not confusing. If it is too confusing, a mod/admin has the right to tell you to simplify and make it more like the normal character template. Below is the character template:

Puppet Guide & Template



So you have made a puppet user then? Puppetry is the art of fine chakra control and precise hand movements. These jutsu revolve around the use of extending chakra like strings that attach to things in order to use them at a higher range, and with more mobility than might be expected. Most puppet users actually use puppets that are built like weapons, however a puppet user can use the same jutsu to pick up weapons, and other things and use them as such. Advanced enough puppet users can even latch their puppet strings onto living people, and manipulate them as if they were a puppet. These puppets, in most cases, have hidden weapons, or even poisonous chambers that can be used to gain an edge in battle. Puppet users, seeing as they have a very different and unique style of combat then most other ninja, have their own basic set of systems and rules that they live by. Below are the basic rules that define what a puppet user can and can't do:

Puppetry Basics:
This is the first and most important rule is the puppeteer. In order to use and manipulate a puppet, the user must be in control and be able to use the puppet strings ninjutsu. This jutsu is listed in the canon jutsu for use, as well as below for member's convenience:

Puppet Control Jutsu:

Each puppet is to be built with the same template. The template is listed below:

Puppet Template:

Example Puppet With Additional Template:

Puppet Minimum Rank:
Because of the complex nature of a puppet, including all of the joints, hidden components, and differing weapons, no puppet can be below C rank in terms of how advanced it is. This means that there can be no E rank or D rank puppets.
Poisons:
A puppet user can use and create poisons, using a single weapons/devices slot. Poisons are unique to puppet users, and medical ninjutsu users, other than a few clan based exceptions. Below is the poison template, as well as a basic outline of how to create them slightly more in depth:

Poison Template & Basic Creation Guide:

Puppets and Jutsu:
Puppets that are C rank (or in the case of admin permission lower than C rank) are unable to be used in combination with jutsu outside of the puppetry specialty, and are otherwise considered not chakra conductible. This means that, while devices and weapon attachments that require chakra to activate can be used on C rank and below puppets, no other jutsu can be used from the puppet's point of view.
When the puppet becomes B rank, however, it become able to conduct the user's chakra and form jutsu as if it were a ninja. Chakra used in this fashion comes directly from the user's chakra tank - the chakra is sent down through the chakra strings and into the appropriate formation like a meridian system.

Weapons and Devices:
Upon puppet creation, each puppet will come installed with two free weapon or devices. This means that your puppet can have up to two weapons, or two devices, or one of each. The different between a weapon and a device is simple: while a weapon serves a clearly offensive purpose, such as a senbon launcher, kunai launcher, or retractable arm blade, a device can be a passive addition to the puppet, or something installed that is not directly offensive, such as hidden compartments to store things, or a thick piece of metal used for defensive purposes. These count towards the total number of slots available for your puppet, according to the guidebelow.

Spoiler:

Any Device/Weapon that is poisoned also takes up an additional slot to make room for the poison.

It is important to note, especially in the theft or claiming of another shinobi’s puppets, that though a puppet of a rank that you can control may be equipped with a device ranked higher than your own that you do not have access to this weaponry when using the puppet. Upon achieving the appropriate rank these weapons and devices will be opened up for you to use.

Puppet Collections and Use:
Depending on the rank at which the puppet user is, a different amount of puppets is allowed to be owned, and built. This is not the same as the amount of puppets that the user can actually use in battle, and that will be covered as well. Below are the differing ranks, and what they can and cannot do:

C Rank:
A C rank ninja can build three puppets in total, however can only use one puppet in battle. This can be ignored and a shinobi can use two puppets in combat if they are willing to make a 500 word training topic and gain an SC allowing for a secondary puppet to be used.

B Rank:
A B rank ninja can build Five puppets, however can only use two puppets in battle. They can gain an SC to allow them to use up to four puppets in combat after training for it with a 1000 word topic.

A Rank:
An A rank ninja can build eight puppets, however can only use four puppets in battle. They can gain an SC to allow them to use up to six puppets at once after training for it with a 1500 word training topic.

S Rank:
An S rank ninja can build twelve puppets, however can only use six puppets in battle. They can gain an SC to allow them to use up to six puppets at once after training for it with a 2000 word Training topic.
[spoiler]

Code:

[b]Name:[/b] Advanced Puppetry
[b]Rank:[/b] C
[b]Range:[/b] Self
[b]Requires:[/b] 500 Word Training Post
[b]Description:[/b] After training for this SC, a puppeteer can increase the number of puppets they can control from One to Two at the rank of Genin. This is required before one can become a True Puppeteer.

[b]Name:[/b] True Puppeteer
[b]Rank:[/b] B
[b]Range:[/b] Self
[b]Requires:[/b] 100 Word Training Post
[b]Description:[/b] Further training in the art of working puppets in combat has allowed the shinobi to advance past the basics and gain an almost second nature when dealing with puppets. They can now manipulate up to Four puppets at once. This replaces the Advanced Puppetry SC and is required to attain the Puppet Adept special characteristic.

[b]Name:[/b] Puppet Adept
[b]Rank:[/b] A
[b]Range:[/b] Self
[b]Requires:[/b] 1500 Word  Training Post
[b]Description:[/b] At this point the puppet and puppeteer have a relationship like a regular person and their hand. They are among the best at what they do and it shows in their level of comprehension of even the most complicated controls of a puppet. This allows a shinobi to use up to Eight puppets at once in combat. One must obtain this special characteristic in order to train for Puppet Mastery

[b]Name:[/b] Puppet Mastery
[b]Rank:[/b] S
[b]Range:[/b]Self
[b]Requires:[/b] 200 Word Training Post
[b]Description:[/b] The shinobi’s skills are considered legendary and there are few who can keep up with them in terms of the number of puppets or the skill in using them. Those like this are the rare few who seem to make even errors into graceful displays of talent. Puppet Mastery allows the use of up to Ten puppets at once and cannot be developed further.

Weapon/Device Slots:
Although each puppet starts out with tw free weapon/devices, each puppet can only have a certain amount of slots period. This is highly dependent on the puppet's rank. Below is a small guide showing which puppets can have how many device/weapon slots at what ranks. As a puppet advances in rank, should it be a scaling rank puppet, it will unlock slots of its rank:

C Rank:
C rank puppets can only have a maximum of five weapon/device slots.

B Rank:
B rank puppets can only have a maximum of seven weapon/device slots.

A Rank:
A rank puppets can only have a maximum of ten weapon/device slots.

S Rank:
S rank puppets can only have a maximum of twelve weapon/device slots.

Improving Your Puppets:
As you grow as a shinobi and puppeteer, you will undoubtedly desire to improve your puppets. This is entirely possible in the same manner as acquiring a new weapon with a few notes. To improve a puppet requires the same amount of PAC or Training as a weapon or technique of equal rating. This improvement will increase the rank of the puppet and increase the number of slots available but does not automatically add weapons or devices into these slots. Those must be bought/trained for independently.

Elite Puppeteers:
When a puppet user becomes elite, otherwise known as S ranked, they will be able to apply for a special ability, which is one of the perks of the puppet specialization. This perk comes with a complete mastery of puppet style combat, and can only come if the ninja has puppet style as their main combat style, not sub or third. This perk can only come with admin permission. Pretty much, when a ninja that specializes in puppetry becomes S rank, they have the ability to build themselves into a puppet, similar to how we see Chiyo or Sasori do it in the anime. This is risky, and takes time to do, however, as well as having a separate set of requirements. Completely changing one's body into a puppet is even more risky and hard to come by.

Who does these surgeries, and transformations, you might ask; advanced medical ninja do. Only S rank medical ninja that have medical ninjutsu as their primary or secondary, or A rank medical ninja with medical ninjutsu as their primary specialty can perform these kinds of surgeries. What is more, the puppet component must be made, approved, and purchased/trained like a weapon or jutsu would be, filled out out out to the puppet's template. Because of the gap in experience levels between the A rank and S rank level ninja, there is a difference in the word count needed for the topics in which the puppet convergence is happening. While the puppeteer is transformed into the puppet as reward of the topic, the medical and fuuinjutsu using characters get an additional 10% bonus to their PAC scores for the topic.

A Rank Medics With Medical Ninjutsu Primary:
Total of 12,000 words to perform the procedure. Patient must heal for one real life week.

S Rank Medics With Medical Ninjutsu Primary:
Total of 6,000 words to perform the procedure. Patient must heal for four real life days.

S Rank Medics With Medical Ninjutsu Secondary:
Total of 8,000 words to perform the procedure. Patient must heal for five real life days.

Healing means that the character cannot be rped with in any other conditions other than being hospitalized, and bed ridden. Any attack on a character who is within this healing bracket is a auto hit due to their vulnerability; this is the case unless a third party intervenes.

Should the user wish to turn themselves completely into a puppet, like our dear Sasori, then an additional 6,000 words must be added to each of the topics without negotiation. What is more, the puppet's body must be filled out in the puppet template in great detail. One of the biggest things that must be explained in the full puppet body is how the user will still live within wood or metal without a beating heart, or working organs and the likes. Because of this, a fuuinjutsu user may also be required to be within the topic in which the puppet body is installed, replacing the individual's own. This fuuinjutsu user must fit the same requirements as the medical ninja when performing a surgery of this level, and must be able to seal something like a willing life essence into a container, for example something like what Sasori had on his chest. This means that the fuuinjutsu user must already have the required/specified jutsu to do so before the topic.

What is more, being of the appropriate rank does mean that you are good to go. The medical ninja must have the following things in order to perform the surgery:

One:
Medics need a medical jutsu that targets the area of surgery they are performing, such as the eyes, arms, legs, etc. This jutsu can be no lower in rank than A rank or else the surgery will fail. Failure in the surgery results in the individual going under surgery to die, unless further, advanced medical precautions can be taken.

Two:
They need an A rank or above healing jutsu for basic healing during and after the procedure.

Three:
They need a B Rank or above sterilizing jutsu to make sure that the puppet additions do not cause infection, and are thus not rejected by the body.

All of the above is only through admin permission, and will only be given out sparingly.
Have fun!

What Makes it a Style?: A style is much more advanced than simply stating that you can infuse chakra into your fist or a weapon. Such feats are often considered some various form of a jutsu, so do not waste your time making a single faceted technique into a style. A style is a series of a particular kind of jutsu with similar qualities that are all bunched together into a style in order to symbolize that you have mastered that area of what you're doing in your own, unique way. It embodies a way of combat that a character can stick with throughout combat. These can be martial styles (Karate, Hopkido, Boxing, etc) or more technical skills (Iaido, Kyudo, etc), or even sets of techniques linked to a Blood Line trait (Gentle Fist, etc).

What Specialties Can Have Styles?: Any specialty can have a style attached to it. This means that there can be much more then only taijutsu based styles, or different styles built for weapons. Genjutsu, fuuinjutsu, ninjutsu, taijutsu, etc, can all have styles of their own.

Purchasing a Style: When you make a style, you have to pay for the style itself, as well as the jutsu in it. That means that, if you make an S rank style, and it has three S rank jutsu altogether in it, you'd end up paying 50 PAC for the style itself, and another 50 PAC for the three S rank jutsu that the style has thus far. Alternatively, you can create and purchase a style and purchase the techniques within the style at a later point in time. It is strongly encouraged that any techniques that share a style be named similarly or have it noted that those without the style cannot use said techniques.
Restricted Use: Every style, unless blatantly stated otherwise, is created as a private style. It can be taught to others, however no one can copy another person's style without permission and create it for themselves. Obviously, Blood Line related styles require the student to have the Blood Line to learn it. However, even when being taught a style from a shinobi who already has mastered it, training minimum word requirements must be met. For more information on training please see [url= Insert Future Link]HERE[/url]


Name: The name of your style; it could just be ones name, a description of the style, or something much deeper. It is all up to the creator.

Type: Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Genjutsu, Fūinjutsu, Medical Ninjutsu, Bukijutsu, Kenjutsu, Puppetry, etc.

Rank: Give a range of what the style entails. Does it contain only A-Rank Techniques or does it contain C-Rank through S-Rank Techniques. A style's rank can only be as low as the highest ranking jutsu. If the style has jutsu that range in rank from E rank to S rank, then the style's rank would be "E-S" however if it only had B rank jutsu, then it's rank would be "B."

Founder: Your character's name or the group of people who created the technique.

Origin: Where did you create this technique? Was it within your village, outside of your village? If it was in or outside of the village, where was it specifically? Numerous places? If so, where?

Description: Give a description of your style. If it is a taijutsu style, for instance, give an overlay of how it works, what it is centered around, what inspired it, and what a lot of the moves are like. Is there a specific purpose of the style? If so, explain it here.

Techniques: What techniques does your style use? This is where the jutsu of the style go, preferably in spoilers if you will.

History: The history of your style. How was it developed? What helped you achieve mastery of your style?

Who Can Make Poisons?: Poison may only be made by those with Medical Ninjutsu, or puppetry. This means that only shinobi with Medical Ninjutsu, or Puppetry as their main, sub, or tertiary specialty may actually create poisons, period. Should someone have Medical Ninjutsu or Puppetry as their tertiary skill, then the same single rank below rule applies as always.

Selling a Poison: Poisons can be sold to others for Ryo if the receiving party is willing to pay the PAC for the new item. The price of the poison depends on the seller's offer. Once a poison is sold, the creator of the poison can recreate it, and will still have it - unless the poison is made from something that they could have only obtained once, etc.

Rules of Purchasing a Poison: Even when purchased, others without Medical Ninjutsu or Puppetry cannot use poisons as well as the creator of the poison, or another shinobi that specializes in poisonous arts. Because of this, and this alone, poisons can only be used by non Medical Ninjutsu/Puppetry users at a single rank below their own. For example, an A rank ninja with no trace of Medical Ninjutsu/Puppetry could only use a B rank poison, or the B rank level of a multi-ranked poison (C-A, for example). Shinobi with Medical Ninjutsu/Puppetry as tertiary may also only use the poison at a rank below, which is normal.

Ranking Poisons: Depending on the rank of the poison, there are different guidelines that need to be followed in terms of their severity. For instance, a C ranked poison should not be able to kill the target, nor hamper them too greatly. B rank poisons are slightly more deadly, however their effects should take a long time before they can kill someone, and leave many indicators of the symptoms. What is more, they should not be entirely hard to cure. A rank poisons are more lethal, and act more quickly. These poisons are harder to fend off, and can kill someone, but it is still nothing too quick. S rank poisons are extremely lethal, and can easily kill someone, as well as being hard to cure. That said, even still, S rank poisons are not instantly killing, while they can be deadly. As a general note, poisons that are introduced to the blood stream directly are more powerful than those that are inhaled in the air, simple because of the balance of application. Solids are, perhaps, can be considered the most dangerous - liquid poisons are considered as dangerous when introduced into the blood stream directly; liquids that soak through the skin are weaker, along with air born poisons. Moderators should keep this in mind.


Name: [The name of your poison.]
Rank: [The level of your poison.]
Application: [How is your poison applied. Is it solid, a powder, a gas, and how is it distributed in combat. Is it an ointment that you spread with your fingers, or a liquid that you spread on weapons; or even something fancy like an incense that gives off toxic smoke.]
Range: [Depending on its application, what is its range? Obviously a liquid that is bring spread onto your sword would not have an infinite range; it would be the range of whatever it is spread on. In the example of incense, how far does the smoke travel while still retaining enough concentration to be toxic?]
Effects: [Describe the effects on the body in technical terms, not in turns. Basically, what is it actually doing to the target's body and how does it damage/heal the target(s)?]
Turns: [This is where you list the effects of the poison in turns as they would apply in RP. Keep in mind that, depending on the rank of the poison, it may take longer to come by certain effects.]
