Hrm, my main focus in the Tori no Kuni Arc is story telling. I do want people to have enough freedom to be able to express their creativeness while sticking to their roles as not everyone can be the Protagonist. Nor can everyone be the evil Sith Emperor. So a balance is preferred from me.

This Story Arc will be set after the event Warren has done chronologically. Even if you're currently up to something character wise, you may time skip ahead as long as the gap in between is able to connect from point a to b type deal.

I want ideas on how to play the spirit Yatagarasu who is essentially the Messenger Deity worshipped in Tori no Kuni. It's a 3 legged crow spirit of black fires said to be Heaven's Messenger. The Torii were built to honor it. It apparently has the power to bless/make land fertile when channeled through a worthy vessel, being certain Shrine Maidens. The summonable Torii Gates are an extension of its power. My thoughts so far is it will make an appearance at the end of the Arc. Perhaps it will grant a blessing if the Tori Miku line is restored.

I'm game for hearing out how Nate's system would work once he has the time.

Eh, the restriction system thus far seems just a tad limiting for Tomi storywise. For example, he uses Earth & wind mainly but often utilizes the Wood Element to create buildings for his travels. I request that he still be allowed to do so during his quests.

The stat system confuses me a tad so mind helping me out with that? Tomi is notorious for being one of the most elusive Shinobi in existence. How would you categorize his abilities and stats Eric, & why?

I asked Nathan to see if he wanted to GM it. Yomi might be interested as well.

The limited version of the Torii Summoning would be a fair boom for those involved in Jinchuuriki fights. It wouldn't involve the variants which allow the sealing of the Bijuu or the further elaboration on their chakra disruption abilities.

I wasn't specifically gunning for the Uzumaki, they just happened to be involved in the lore hence Tomi's journey to find a compatible successor bearing their blood.

The contract itself is unique, it requires the blood containing a specific genetic sequence in which not every Uzumaki would be compatible, however the chances are higher if the individual is a fated member of said clan. The lore involved makes it if anyone attempted to sign the scroll not possessing the right blood (ideally a direct descendant of the first Miku of Tori) would fall into an eternal nightmare & eventually die.

There is one caveat around this, being if Tomi donates a vial of his own blood which can be used as a substitute combined with a provided substitution summoning scroll with the appropriate formula.

Such is part of the story/why Kirk who temporarily held onto the contract scroll at one point around 2012 was unable to sign it.

Good question, Tomi himself could be convinced to abandon his quest if the candidate for the Miku is captured/threatened with an ultimatum involving execution that he cannot prevent unless surrending.

There wasn't any specific target audience beyond the Uzumaki Clan as they're heavily involved in the lore of Tori no Kuni/one of their members was the first Miku of Tori.

Yatagarasu itself might become involved in some shape or form if there is success for the pro Miku faction. The specifics are still being considered/developed. I envisioned Yatagarasu to be a large 3 legged crow spirit of black fire  in the years past. It was always my intention to develop it's character/make a reasonable way to summon it in RP as an entity as strong as a super summon. How powerful it would be is currently in speculation as it obviously can't be overpowered.

I like the way Eric has put it. It's well formatted, one mission per week, and so forth. His suggested time frame is also quite stable/each week could be considered a 'chapter' in the Tori no Kuni Arc.

We need to discuss the in character rewards for participating on either side of the story.

What will the Pro Miku faction gain if they succeed?
What will the Pro Daimyo group gain if they manage to keep him/her in power?

Hmm, it definitely brings forth a lot of questions to be answered. SL likely couldn't successfully hold a large scale event at the moment. Instead of a civil war, it might be best to scale it down to a single mission with one group attempting to safely escort the Tori Miku and one group attempting to kill her on her way to Tori no Kuni. It would shorten the whole thing and perhaps make it more doable/only require say 4 people in total to manage with an extra moderator to keep an eye on things.

So far, I imagine the time frame will be a week once it actually starts off. If someone fails to post within a certain time limit, an Event RP Moderator will take their place and rp said character as they see fit until the next post timer which the player can take back control of their next post/deal with how the Mod used their char in the last post. The exact time time limit will be up to speculation. For this case, Event RP mods must be impartial to the characters involve and seek to advance the story in a way they deem to be part of the 'flow'.

The civil war is between two factions. Those who seek to restore the Tori Shrine Maiden Lineage as the governing power of the Country, and the Daimyo who wish to keep its power/status quo. It was roughly over 20 years ago in lore which the Daimyo took full governing power due to the Tori Shrine Maiden Lineage abruptly disappearing. Long story short, Tomi's mother was the next of line but twisted events led to her fleeing the country and dying in child birth in Konoha.

This will be the premise of the Civil War.

The 4th Hokage has returned after several years of traveling amongst the lands of 'normies'/non shinobi, studying the culture of those who live without chakra.

His goal is to find a compatible Female Uzumaki who can carry on the Tori Summoning Contract/become the Head Miku to Tori no Kuni (Land of Birds). This is to preserve the 'contract' the Tori Miku Lineage holds with the 'divine messenger' Yatagarasu, a 3 legged crow of lore. The original Tori Miku was an Uzumaki, hence why Tomi seeks one of their clan who might be compatible genetically.

However not all of Tori no Kuni wants to have the Tori Miku lineage restored as they hoped it would have died out with Tomi. (He holds the blood of such/it's a long story but has been established in his biography for some time) Hence there will be a civil war in the Land of Birds. Those who support the revival of the Tori Miku to power, and those who greed to contain their current status quo.

Both factions will vie for contracts with the various Hidden Villages to fight in their civil war to determine the fate of the Land of Birds. This might involve the assasination of the potential canidate, the destruction of the Divine Gate Lineage Scroll (A blood contract which permits the summoning of Torii as a powerful artifact), and what not.

I still need to brainstorm and come out with some in character reward for those who might be involved on either side of the civil war. It has to be appealing to join both factions.

I'll need to get things sorted out/multiple people involved in the brainstorming phase/moderators to regulate it and such. More or less, think of it as potentially being in a Naruto Movie/Filler Arc. The purpose is to write a compelling, interesting story whom the players determine the outcome with their character's various actions and so forth.

Here is the link to familiarize yourself with the Land of Birds Lore I created.

To counter a Torii Gate's Kekkei Properties, all you have to do is destroy the gate itself, quite simple of an idea, really.

However, Cmage is right, I am talking about never ending, 'immortal' battles of super, super, super/OP'ed characters in role-play.

I said what needed to be said. The more one claims, the more abusive their character becomes to the overall system of role-play. In an attempt to become more inline with this belief of moderating one's self, I have de-powered my character quite a bit, to a more Kishimoto approved level for the character I emulate to a great degree.

It's not about 'OMG I can't beat him, because he has too much.' It is the constant encouragement of characters to take more and more power, merely to survive in a sense of being. Then we'll have many over powered characters where fights cannot be realistically monitored/compared and contrasted to canon. We've never seen hiraishin, splitting technique, sharingan, rinnegan, kaguya, Jashin, Jiongu all merged into one, and how they'd interplay with say a super sage, kyuubi jinchuuriki, with EMS, Mokuton, etc, etc. At least the EMS Mokuton combo, we have already seen how it works to a fair degree.

My point being, it will just get too out of hand as many will eventually try to overpower each other with an unrealistic slew of Kinjutsu, Kekkei Genkai, to where what's god-modding/what's legit is blurred together, and there is no more line to it/ making it extremely hard to moderate such things.

From what I heard, Pete gave it to him, as a token of stop going after the Rokubi Bijuu. Ironically, Bocchiere claims to gave me detailed information on the Earth Grudge Fear, then later claims to possess it, and tells me that I do not have enough information to use/preform the technique myself.

I dislike him, because of the abnormal amount of claims to one single character. It completely abuses the concept of legitimate role-play due to having all this jutsu mixed together, without any major side effects. I mean, kinjutsu are called forbidden for a reason, usually because of some awful risk  involved in utilizing them. Compare them to drugs, and as you can see, Bocchiere has been mixing a whole lot of drugs together, and only become more insanely over powered, with each new technique he claims. Logically speaking, he's a god-modder as is.
