Then it just needs regulation, don't have to let everyone and their mom have it. The ban on episodes whatever through whatever hasn't been panning out anyway,

Character Profiles / Senshi Uchiha
« on: January 12, 2016, 05:57:24 PM »
Backstory: Senshi was raised as an Uchiha, sacrificed by his father to an inhumane and unruly scientist with intention to awaken a power within him that no other bore. Several years of experiments imbued Senshi with an ability that even he has not discovered yet, though a passive by product of the procedures done to him have left him with extremely enhanced strength for his size. But he's not complaining. He was released from the grips of the scientist later in life, his memory completely wiped of what had happened to him. He travels the land now, gathering knowledge to further his control of his elemental Kekkai Genkais.
Personality: Senshi is reserved. Though if he is approached by someone he becomes much more sociable and easy to talk to, he bares quite the people skills beneath his stoic disposition.
Abilities:
- Katon
- Futon
- Doton
- Shakuton
- Sharingan - Mangekyou
- Jinton
- Hachimon
Senshi's custom Techniques;
- Remnant of Nova: http://narutoprofile.wikia.com/wiki/Remnant_of_Nova
- Swords of Revealing Light: http://narutoprofile.wikia.com/wiki/Swords_of_Reveling_Light
- Zanka no Tachi: http://narutoprofile.wikia.com/wiki/Zanka_no_Tachi
(These three techniques were given to Senshi via Ryoji)
- Solar Flare: Concentrating the chakra within one of his orbs or other creations of Shakuton, Senshi releases all of the heat within the construct in the form of a massive blinding light, searing the opponents eyes and leaving them blinded for at least 2 turns with full exposure

Village Square / Tomoe Rinnegan
« on: January 12, 2016, 05:18:15 PM »
So, I know for awhile the Tomoe Rinnegan has been a no go for the site. But I was wondering if we could perhaps include it into the site now, perhaps with some proper nerfs? Here's what I was thinking..
- Amenotejikara can be used but only in place of another path, meaning the Tomoe Rinnegan user would have to give up usage of a different path in place of this technique.
- Range is limited, lets say 10 feet at acquisition, and can be trained up but to a specific limit, perhaps 40 or 50 feet max?
- Switching places with objects and or people requires physical contact, marking them in a manner similar to hiraishin
- Sasuke's inter dimensional ability is banned,
- I was thinking instead of giving the entire Doujutsu a cooldown rate like Sasuke's is shown to have, Amenotejikara could instead have a cooldown rate, that way the other paths are still usable and it is on par with the regular rinnegan. The cooldown rate for Amenotejikara could vary depending on distance, closer ranges like 10 feet and under could have a cool down of 1 turn, and farther ranges like 15 and up could have a 2 to 3 turn cooldown depending on the full distance. This would it from being a bootleg Hiraishin, due to the inability to consistently use it.
- Genjutsu: Rinnegan can be used, but is pretty much just a stronger version of Genjutsu: Sharingan, being harder to release from instead of being able to do things like put all the tailed beasts in a Genjutsu at once
Outside of that everything else could remain the same as standard Rinnegan protocol, No Border Jail, stationary Preta path, etc.
I bring this up because I intend to utilize the Tomoe Rinnegan with my other character and I figured I would share the nerfs that I would be placing on the Doujutsu so it's not as overpowered as it could be, I hope there aren't any issues with it. I like the idea of having new things to bring into the rp on the site, and with the Tenseigan being added in I figured 'hey, why not?'
If there's any other things about the Tomoe rinnegan that you think should be addressed ability wise, feel free to bring it up and we'll see if we can hash it out.

Ichirou licked his lips in anticipation as he heard the draw string of Jay's bow tense as it was pulled back, causing his to crouch low and ready his blades as he prepared for engagement of the enemy. Of course they were only waiting on the head of the squad to make the first move before the blood bath would begin, his feral stance ready to burst forth should it be necessary.

Ichirou vanished as soon as he was directed to the crew quarters, storing his various works of art and listening in upon the words shared between the varying crew members that boarded the ship. At least the best to his ability. The only words that were pertinent at the moment were the captains, which could be heard clearly due to his enhancement of his own voice. Once Ichirou had stored everything away in a manner he saw fit he would return to the deck, laying eyes upon all those who had joined the crusade. Glad to see that it wasn't merely Shadow and Ichirou that were going to be operating such a large ship.

« on: January 03, 2016, 08:34:12 AM »
The paper that attacked the large knights would impact, detonating and creating a large cloud of smoke, which would immediately be dissipating as one of the knights rushed through it. It's speed immense for it's size. It was on top of them now, literally. Towering over the duo that had just entered the castle, it would aim to crush the both of them beneath it's shield, smashing it into the floor before grinding it to make sure they were dead, should they have been crushed.
If not two more knights -one for each of them- would rush in on their location, slashing down with their shields in an attempt to crush them to a bloody puddle. Though it could be noticed that even under the force of these huge constructs the floor of the castle was unaffected, not cracked or broken. Only dust was thrown about by their attacks.
Meanwhile, Ichirou made his way from the room containing the knights, releasing more of his Gelel transformation in order to further activate the passive healing that came along with it. Closing up his freshest wounds as he was quickly getting his footing in the area again, he looked back through the doorway to see Dato release his steam into the room in an attempt to melt the giants that approached them.
First and foremost, Dato would notice that his attack did not melt the infrastructure of the room, though he could notice that the armor of the knights seemed to begin to melt, though at a rate much slower than he would imagine. The first knight in the group would place it's shield down upon the ground in front of it, a large circle in the middle of the shield opening, before a massive vacuum could be felt.
This suction threatened to suck Dato in as well, if he wasn't careful. And even possessed the ability to suck the lava literally off of his form. Because it attacked chakra, in fact the shield actually fed off the chakra. Sucking all of the vapor he had released into the room inside of the shield, before charging a bright orange blast, releasing the chakra once again in the form of a blast that threatened to strike Dato with intense force. Though it was possible that the shielding effects of his Chakra Mode could protect him from fatal damage should he be hit.
No Dato! Jutsu wont work on these bastards, i've fought plenty of them. You better have some Taijutsu that pack a real punch, cause I haven't seen another way to break this stone than that.. Ichirou called out as he rushed back into the room, the effects of further transforming almost completely eliminated his fatigue, allowing him to jump back into the game with the enhanced physical state of the transformation.
A huge thud could be heard by the pair by the front gate as Ichirou burst forth off the ground, channeling his chakra into his claw like fists to enhance his strength further as he punched through the things shield, landing upon it's shoulder and delivering a strong strike to the side of it's head before leaping off, this caused the creation to topple over, but unfortunately Ichirou was caught before he could touch another surface to jump off of. In his moment of offense he had forgotten the agility that came with these beasts.
One of the knights rushed forth, it swung it's blade, connecting with Ichirou's crossed arms as he attempted to brace the attack, throwing him into the nearby wall with enough force that he bounced off before hitting the floor and rolling. He cursed under his breath as he rolled to stand, before bounding across the room once again to come to a sliding stop at Dato's side. The durability of his Gelel transformation was what allowed him to withstand such a hefty blow, though he was currently out of breath, the strike against the wall saw to that.
These things aren't like normal enemies, it's like they all have special conditions.. special vulnerabilities. It varies from enemy to enemy, and with these things being able to do what they can, I can't imagine what the bastard who summoned them has up his sleeve. Ichirou assumed an almost feral Taijutsu stance as the first knight began to stand once more, and the rest braced their shields, placing their swords along the side of the shield for easy stabbing motions.
Things were starting to get interesting.

Yeah you could say that Ichirou replied, picking himself up off the ground after narrowly dodging the section of wall that had come his way via Dato's well timed entrance. Unfortunately however, Dato would begin to understand a bit more of the severity of what they were getting into as the wall seemed to rebuild itself behind him. Ichirou used a nearby wall to support his weight as he gathered himself, recovering a vitality pill and a chakra pill from a pouch on his wait, downing them both quickly just in case things got hairy again.
Ichirou and his newfound ally, as well as the duo approaching the castle, would hear a voice ring out, it encompassed the entire castle. And seemed to be coming from nowhere. Well well well, Ichirou. the voice chuckled. Looks like the cavalry has arrived, yeah? I honestly thought I had intercepted your little cry for help. But I guess you were a little slicker than I thought. No matter, you're already aware of what i'm capable of. What you were fighting through is only the beginning, and now with all your little friends coming. It seems i'll have to turn things up a bit? the voice faded out with a maniacal laugh before a red wave of energy spread throughout the entire compound. Altering it extensively.
Masane and Jay would have no doubt met one another at the main door to the castle by now, the huge door taking both of their strength if not more to push open, the size of the door much too large for standard beings, more befitting giants and things of the like. It would be once they had stepped into the main hall that the wave of energy would pass over, and they too would realize the severity of the situation.
All doors and windows would vanish, replaced with just the wall of the construct, any form of contact to the outside was now gone. The entire structure now altered, Stair wells were removed, new rooms were added, old rooms were changed. The hallway that Ichirou and Dato inhabited turned now into a large and empty room. Looking much like the chapel of a church, though it lacked pews or an elevated stage and podium, it was merely empty. Whoever was running this show had taken careful notice of Dato's entrance, and as such strengthened the walls beyond that of Shinobi jutsu, shattering them would be next to impossible.
Ichirou fell upon the floor, the wall behind him having vanished. He cursed under his breath as he sat up, looking around the room for a moment before speaking. Well... it seems like we're safe for now, maybe I can go ahead and fill you in on what we're dealing with.. though this would have to wait. As the words left his mouth the entire castle became unsafe. Both within the large chapel that Dato and Ichirou inhabited, and the large lobby that Masane and Jay inhabited. Huge knights would crawl from the floors and the walls, Carrying gigantic tower shields and massive greatswords. Grumbles and moans left their motionless lips as they locked onto their targets, 5 of them appearing before both duo's, ready to fight to the death.
Ichirou pulled himself off the floor, looking behind him to see an exit from the room. Dato.. We have two options, we can try to take these things on in my debilitated state.. or we can try to rendezvous with whoever else it was that answered my calls. They can't follow us through this doorway, course that doesn't mean more wont come after us.. your choice.. Ichirou spoke as he grabbed hold of his right rib cage. He had been fighting endlessly for so long, only to have this happen at the first sign of help. Of course he couldn't expect anything else from this...thing he was here to kill. He dropped his Katana to the floor, already aware that the nearly broken blade would be useless against these constructs.
The large room that Masane and Jay inhabited were much more accommodating to the massive warriors that had spawned before them, huge doorways fit for them to move through, and as far as either of the duo could see, there was no doorway for them to escape through. Of course with further investigation it was possible that there was a way out, but with the Five giants before them it may be a difficult task. The constructs all moved slow at first.. but Ichirou knew in his soul that this wasn't the limit to their capability.. he couldn't lie. At this point, he found himself worried for the lives of himself and those who came to his rescue.
Welcome to the party, friends! the voice rang out once again, laughing as if it was enjoying the little game it had laid out for the intruders.

« on: January 03, 2016, 03:38:54 AM »
Somewhere deep within the Land of Snow, it seemed as though the sun never kissed the reached of this castle anymore, Ice covered everything. Snow fell endlessly. And no human being survived here. The spires of the castle reached high, an the bridges were tremendous. The castle itself loomed over the Great villages of the nation, and the threats inside were worse that nearly anything else.
The sound of swords clashing could be heard throughout the halls of the castle. Heavy thuds continued over and over as opponents charged at one another, aiming to rip the life from the body of the fallen. Ichirou huffed as he did his best to keep up. These things were outrageous. The halls of the castle up to the point were Ichirou was currently fighting were littered with the bodies of fallen enemies. Blood spattered across walls, broken swords littering the floors. Scorch marks and craters adorning everything.
The bodies that littered the halls all bore the same likeness, a stoic knight armor, concealing all the skin upon the body, removing personalities an faces. Turning all inhabited by the armor into the same being.
Ichirou was engaged with two of these knights simultaneously at the moment. And even though he had been handling himself adequately up until this point, things were beginning to wear on him. Even with the enhanced capabilities of his partial transformation. He begrudgingly admitted he was being bested. Blood dripped from the sleeves of his overcoat, that stopped abruptly at the wrist. The crimson fluid coating the black glove that gripped the handle of his beaten Katana. The blade was going to break soon, and if he didn't find another weapon he'd be at the mercy of these things. The three fighters stood in a triangular formation, Ichirou being the tip and the two knights being at either corner of the hypothetical shape. Ichirou had been here for a long time now, the feeling getting closer and closer to months. He had sent word out for help long ago, only assuming that his attempt to make contact had gone unheard. Or perhaps it reached an unexpected ally. Either way if help didn't arrive soon he was done for.
His clothes were tattered, slash marks tearing through the fabric here and there. His Gelel energy had allowed him to recover from most of the older wounds, but the fresh ones still bled as fatigue set in upon his body. His face bore more feral features than usual, courtesy of his partial wolf transformation. He couldn't maintain his Byakugan anymore, relying solely on primal instinct to maintain him in this combat. He would have to rest for awhile after this conflict, assuming he survived at all.
Simultaneously, he and the two knights burst forth at one another. The furious clashing of blades nearly impossible to track and the dust kicked up from the old halls of the castle blocking view. Ichirou could only do the best he could to survive until help arrived. If help was even coming. Anyone who arrived at the castle would have to take the extensive time to cross the many bridges to the main gate, before maneuvering their way through the labyrinth like halls of the castle before making it to Ichirou's location. However Ichirou was smart, and left a trail of bodies behind him to help anyone that came to help find their way to his location. Of course this meant that anyone tracking him to kill would be able to make their way too, how long would it be before back up arrived for these knights?

Ichirou's eyes fell upon the new arrivals to the ship, noting the rather pirate like apparel of one of the two females, Might as well kick it up a notch.. he though to himself, utilizing his Shikigami no Mai to alter the appearance of his clothing. His clothes would turn white, appearing to be millions of squares stacked atop one another before they would all begin to maneuver, changing shape and adding to his clothing. Once they had finished they resumed color once again, giving Ichirou a much more fitting attire for the appearance of a pirate.
He spun around in his new attire, looking over his shoulder to examine and make sure everything was in place before lifting his back from the deck and speaking to Shadow, Oi Cap'in, where can I store me belong'ins? his accent thickening as he spoke. Making sure he was nice and deep into character before the expedition began. Though in all honesty he didn't quite understand the purpose behind such a charade, who were they dressing up for? Either way, he assumed it bore some sort of purpose and decided he'd rather enjoy it than complain. The held the heavy bag over his shoulder as he waited for Shadow's response.

Village Square / Re: The Wither of the Broken Isles
« on: December 31, 2015, 04:22:02 AM »
Chapter 2;
Ichirou awoke suddenly, only now discovering that he had fallen asleep. He looked to his left and right abruptly, as if startled. Jumping to his feet quickly. Didn't mean to fall asleep... he thought to himself, the rain had began to fall, and the island was now coated in a torrential downpour, the tides rising up and swallowing the beaches as waves crashed along the coastline.
He stepped out into the rain, the water sliding down his person though he didn't appear to be getting any wetter, utilizing his chakra to help keep himself dry he decided now was as good a time as any to explore, try to figure out exactly what was on these islands. He climbed the face of the rock formation that he had taken shelter within, taking him but minutes to reach it's peak. Once there, he would activate his Byakugan, giving him enough range of vision to see out across most all of the isles that occupied this area. What he found was a bit astonishing, there wasn't a lot of land here, though what was there was occupied with farms, fit with complicated irrigation systems that could only have been designed for rains like this, meaning that they must be frequent. But the village that owned these farms were carved into the rockface of another mountain like jagged peak that rose up from the isle. Ichirou couldn't see any people, or any chakra. But judging from the layout of things people still inhabited these parts.
Thunder rumbled in the skies above, and a few strikes of lightning touched down on some of the neighboring islands. This caused Ichirou to opt for huffing the journey, instead of flying. Better to conserve his chakra and not get struck by lightning. He slid down the slope of the stone, the sides of these mountains were steep, all leading to very jagged peaks, making the trip down a bit easier. Ichirou slid down, using his chakra to control his speed if he felt he was getting a bit too fast, before reaching the base of the mountain once more. The village was a few hours away on foot, but Ichirou didn't mind. He was still tired, worn out from his journey. So this was a casual way to step back into things.
Hours passed as he walked, before arriving on the outskirts of the village. It bore no gates, no guards. Just large openness. What he arrived at was the farmland, and the village itself had a large stairway leading to an equally large door. Perhaps this is their take on village gates.. he thought, not assuming that these people would take to the regular lives of shinobi, considering their isolation. He made his way to and up the steps uninterrupted. Though he could feel the weight of eyes watching him, he could only wonder if they watched in fear or in distrust, the latter being the more likely of the two.
He delivered three sturdy knocks upon the hefty stone door that stood before him, a bit of dust falling off as he did so. "Who....goes...there..." a deep voice grumbled between what sounded like strained breathing. Ichirou paused for a moment, not entirely sure how to respond, "Uh.. I am a wanderer, stranded here upon these isles when the ship I traveled on was destroyed by some unknown creature. I was making way here to investigate the curse upon these isles. Could I come in, perhaps?" his words were answered with silence. Minutes passed and nothing, before a hearty chuckle could be heard from the other side of the door. "Your..ship...crushed... the...waters...here...unfriendly.." the voice replied, it's strained breathing still present. "Yeah I'd have to agree with you on that one.. What's your name? Mine's Ichirou." the voice was much quicker with a response this time around, only taking a mere minute or two rather than the five or six from it's first response. "Lon'kou..." it grumbled, before falling silent.
Ichirou opened his mouth to respond, but quickly held his tongue as he heard hushed voices speaking on the other side of the door, he tried his hardest to make out what he was saying, but even enhancing his hearing with Ototon did not improve his chances of making out any spoken words. Ichirou didn't hear any more sound, not for hours. He sat upon the steps to the village, waiting. He knew that someone knew he was out here, Lon'Kou at least. "Still...there...Ichi..rou?" he heard the familiar voice ring out. He stood up and made his way to the door once more."Yes I'm still here Lon'Kou, Can I enter now? the rain is getting bad out here.. and the suns going down." neither of these thing actually bothered Ichirou, he was just trying to talk his way inside. He hated to admit it but the extensive waiting and cryptic sounds were beginning to take a tole upon his patience. "Mmmm.....not... allowed... to let.. you.. in.. yet..." Lon'Kou retorted, causing Ichirou to sigh and put his forehead to the door in frustration. He could always break in, but that didn't bode well for relations with who or whatever these people were. "Yet? Do I have to do something first? Prove myself?" he inquired, a bit confused by Lon'kou's words. "Yes...Ichi..rou..must....recover...the...stone....stone of... milos..." the beast spoke out again, Ichirou raised a brow at it's specific request, perplexed. "Do you need the stone, Lon'Kou? Where is it? I'll get it for you, no problem." Ichirou's curiosity had been peaked, Lon'Kou did not seem to possess the intelligence to want for something that seemed to bear a specific purpose, why else would it be given a name? "I...do not... need... Ali'ko'say... need... Stone... of Milos... at bottom... Lake... Po'chea." the beast let out a loud yawn after it's words, and a few thumping sounds that sounded similar to someone laying down upon stone to sleep. Well...okay then.. Ichirou thought to himself, turning from the door. Now I just gotta find it...
Ichirou awoke suddenly, only now discovering that he had fallen asleep. He looked to his left and right abruptly, as if startled. Jumping to his feet quickly. Didn't mean to fall asleep... he thought to himself, the rain had began to fall, and the island was now coated in a torrential downpour, the tides rising up and swallowing the beaches as waves crashed along the coastline.
He stepped out into the rain, the water sliding down his person though he didn't appear to be getting any wetter, utilizing his chakra to help keep himself dry he decided now was as good a time as any to explore, try to figure out exactly what was on these islands. He climbed the face of the rock formation that he had taken shelter within, taking him but minutes to reach it's peak. Once there, he would activate his Byakugan, giving him enough range of vision to see out across most all of the isles that occupied this area. What he found was a bit astonishing, there wasn't a lot of land here, though what was there was occupied with farms, fit with complicated irrigation systems that could only have been designed for rains like this, meaning that they must be frequent. But the village that owned these farms were carved into the rockface of another mountain like jagged peak that rose up from the isle. Ichirou couldn't see any people, or any chakra. But judging from the layout of things people still inhabited these parts.
Thunder rumbled in the skies above, and a few strikes of lightning touched down on some of the neighboring islands. This caused Ichirou to opt for huffing the journey, instead of flying. Better to conserve his chakra and not get struck by lightning. He slid down the slope of the stone, the sides of these mountains were steep, all leading to very jagged peaks, making the trip down a bit easier. Ichirou slid down, using his chakra to control his speed if he felt he was getting a bit too fast, before reaching the base of the mountain once more. The village was a few hours away on foot, but Ichirou didn't mind. He was still tired, worn out from his journey. So this was a casual way to step back into things.
Hours passed as he walked, before arriving on the outskirts of the village. It bore no gates, no guards. Just large openness. What he arrived at was the farmland, and the village itself had a large stairway leading to an equally large door. Perhaps this is their take on village gates.. he thought, not assuming that these people would take to the regular lives of shinobi, considering their isolation. He made his way to and up the steps uninterrupted. Though he could feel the weight of eyes watching him, he could only wonder if they watched in fear or in distrust, the latter being the more likely of the two.
He delivered three sturdy knocks upon the hefty stone door that stood before him, a bit of dust falling off as he did so. "Who....goes...there..." a deep voice grumbled between what sounded like strained breathing. Ichirou paused for a moment, not entirely sure how to respond, "Uh.. I am a wanderer, stranded here upon these isles when the ship I traveled on was destroyed by some unknown creature. I was making way here to investigate the curse upon these isles. Could I come in, perhaps?" his words were answered with silence. Minutes passed and nothing, before a hearty chuckle could be heard from the other side of the door. "Your..ship...crushed... the...waters...here...unfriendly.." the voice replied, it's strained breathing still present. "Yeah I'd have to agree with you on that one.. What's your name? Mine's Ichirou." the voice was much quicker with a response this time around, only taking a mere minute or two rather than the five or six from it's first response. "Lon'kou..." it grumbled, before falling silent.
Ichirou opened his mouth to respond, but quickly held his tongue as he heard hushed voices speaking on the other side of the door, he tried his hardest to make out what he was saying, but even enhancing his hearing with Ototon did not improve his chances of making out any spoken words. Ichirou didn't hear any more sound, not for hours. He sat upon the steps to the village, waiting. He knew that someone knew he was out here, Lon'Kou at least.

Shenanigans can be worked out much more easily if there is someone with both the power and the position to sort the challenger and/or champion out if the need arises for it.
I think a biju council wouldn't be a bad idea,

"Well that's good to hear, Who's gonna navigate this birdy?"he inquired as he finishe his cigarette, wrapping incinerating it with Katon chakra and leaning upon the gunwhale as well. "I've got a nack for explosives, I can pre-prepare some highly volatile -but safe to us of course- loads for our cannons, provided we have any. I'm just assuming." he offered up more of his expertise to make sure that they would have a safe trip. Especially with a small team, the threats of the Ocean were big and small alike and Ichirou surely didn't intend to get swallowed up in them. Not now not never.

Ichirou lit his cigarette, returning the lighter to his pocket before replying, "Well,captain it's loaded with a bit of this and that. A few weeks worth of emergency rations, just in case. Plenty of drinkable water to go along with that. Outside of that it's mostly some of my mechanical contraptions. Item launchers and things of the like. Figured i'd make sure I had some nice artillery to bring along on the trip, just in case we needed it." he puffed on the cigarette as he spoke. "Are we to run this ship by ourselves? Or do you have a crew on board with you, you know. Below the deck and what not." he chuckled a bit. Finding humor in their masquerade, even though it was an understandable one, and one he would take more seriously once they had actually set sail.
