Basically, I want this roleplay to stand out from other canon roleplays out there. Most canon roleplays lack the level of care or thought that original ones have; with this roleplay I want to change that. I'm a guy that loves roleplays, and loves Naruto. I'm tired of seeing Naruto roleplays go under because of lack of thought. This is no retelling of the Naruto canon, no 'next-generation' where the sons and daughters of the Rookie Nine become legendary ninja. I'm setting out to put a different twist on the Naruto Canon. Lemme stop the build up and get er done.
The Setting
The roleplay is set several hundred years from the Narutoverse as we know it, alternate reality. Technology is grand, almost cyberpunk in design [not as flashy and tron-ish though. there's no holograms here]. In this world, the way of the ninja has been outlawed, the Kages are dead, and the feudal lords are the only ones in power. It's a dark time, full of corruption and strife. How did it get to this point though?
Three hundred years ago, the Feudal Lords came together to devise a plot. The Lords feared the immense power of the Kage and their soldiers. They felt that in time, their positions would become irrelevant in the face of the ninja world. And so, they used their influence to brand the Kage as traitors. Ninja that refused to submit to the power of the Feudal Lords were executed. Each of the Kages were brought before the Lords, and executed in a live broadcast. After that, the ninja name became synonymous with treachery. The age of Ninja was over.
Today, Five Great Nations still retain chief power in the world. They maintain order with their Royal Guard; men and women who are the epitome of strength and skill who are in possession of the most advanced technology the world has to offer. However, only the wealthy receive protection from the Royal Guard. Those who cannot afford the protection tax are left to rot.
Although the Ninja Arts have been outlawed, they have by no means been totally eradicated. There a few out there who have attained knowledge and mastery of ninjutsu. It is even said that somewhere out there, there is an entire city that survives the Ninja Arts. Somewhere.
Like I said before, this is a distant future of the Naruto Universe. The give you an idea of what that means imagine the Land of Fire. Once graced with beautiful trees and forests, it is now inhabited entirely by skyscrapers and highways. It's like New York.
The Story
It's like a cross between Star Wars...with Kunai Knifes instead of Lightsabers, and a John Woo flick...with ninjas.
The story will revolve around the remnants of the ninja world; the retainers of the old ways, The Jinchuuriki; those who will bring about the Ninja World's revival, and those who are out to stop them. Joining up, you'll have three choices on character 'class'. 'User of Old Way', one who has somehow uncovered knowledge of ninja arts, and survives them as a practitioner, 'Jinchuuriki', one destined to become the host of one of the Tailed Beasts [and to be hunted by the Royal Guard and Feudal Lords at all costs], or a member of the Royal Guard.
At the start of the story, our nine Jinchuuriki will awaken to their powers. From that point on, they will be marked as public enemy no.1 by everyone around them. The story will take place all around the 5 Nations, as the Jinchuuriki seek to master their new found [or not so new found] powers. Or maybe the Jinchuuriki will forsake their destiny all together and run from it. It's up to them. Regardless...they will be hunted.
So yeah. That's the tale thus far.
Combat, Jutsu, and other mechanics...
Combat will be handled T1 style. Jutsu use will be dictated by a very strict system.
Seeing how ninjutsu is outlawed, even the strongest practitioner of ninja arts won't have a plethora of Jutsu. Depending on the type of character [Old Way, or Jinchuuriki] I'll place a base maximum on Jutsu number. This number obviously will expanded as time passes on in the roleplay as characters grow through battle. Jutsu can be of your own creation or canonical. Doesn't matter.
Given the nature of the roleplay, i'm looking at an every other day posting minimum. Probably. A decent number of players able to create some legible, detailed and well formed posts is all I ask.
And that's that. It's rough, but this is the basic gist of where I want to go with things. I just wanted to see if anyone would be interested in this? Suggestions? Anything?
