The Basics of RP
--RP which stands for the phrase "RolePlay" Is a series of text based movements and actions! Its basicly saying what your actions are by simply typing them. RP can be done in a set of different varieties, based on the users fighting style. some RP may be carried out in a story sort of sense EX:
Xhin effortlessly withdrew a silver kunai, twirling it swiftly before launching it threw the air at his opponent. The sun sparkled brilliantly off of it as it whisped through the air to meet its target!
thats an example of Story RP'ing. Another example is simply this:
*Xhin withdraws a kunai and twirls it skillfully. He throws it through the air at his opponent and watches as the sun shines brilliantly off of it*
Whichever you chose doesnt matter, although the story RP is considered an evolved and professional form of RP. we here at Kaigakure dont care which one you choose, but try to keep all of your posts long and meaningful! meaning one word posts are highly looked down upon and is considered spam.
Descrition is always key, in the world of RP! Be descritive about every little move you make! tell what the character is thinking, feeling, and doing in great detail! That way there is less flaws in your RP'ing! and you will be recognized by the Kaikage as a great fighter. Make it seem like your accually there and living it instead of simply typing it down! make it seem as if you are writing a novel and accually LIVE your writings! Without detail in your posts, leaves great gapes in your attack which the opponent can take advantage of posthaste!
Multiple persons RP
People may have more than two people in an RP. whether its fighting or doing anything else. When double rping, you must wait for Your opponent to post, before you post again! when posting two times on the board its called spamming! which will be recognized and a warning may be givin by one of our staff. One post per person, kinda like taking turns. Whyen RP'ing with three people, you must wait untill every person thats in the boad post before posting again. so if there are three people. and you just posted, what do you do? you wait untill the other two people post before posting again, otherwise it causes confusion and chaos and a big mess. Same for quadrople RP'ing and so on.
Godmodding and Auto-hitting
When RP'ing there is a thing called Godmodding. It basicly cheating to bend reality into your own whim. Big attacks should take alot of chakra, always! and you always have to perform handsigns in your jutsu! you cant havew every jutsu out there! you have to learn them and show a staff member that you trained for the jutsu in order to learn it. Heres the deal with that:
We ussually dont care if you make up Jutsu for yourself. but make sure to show a staff member the complete description of the jutsu, when doing this you must use this template:
NAME
When giving the name, simply give the name of the jutsu. if its in japenese make sure to translate it.
TYPE
The type is mainly the Rank of the jutsu.
E-Rank-- Weak jutsu that will do no harm to the opponent.
D-Rank-- Regular jutsu that may do little harm to the opponent.
C-Rank-- Normal jutsu that will do medium harm to the opponent.
B-rank-- Strong jutsu that will deal big damage to the opponent.
A-rank-- Very Strong jutsu that will severely damage the opponent!
S-Rank-- Huge jutsu that could blow large areas away and possibly KILL the opponent.
EFFECT
The effect is a basic description of how the jutsu may hurt the opponent or benefit its user in anyway.
SPECIAL
Is basicly any special in the jutsu and the neccessary handsigns. The handsigns are symbolized by animals such as the boar, the dog, the sheep, the hound, the snake, the ox, the ram, the bear, the tiger, the dragon, and so on. When setting the handsigns you may do it in any order.
DRAWBACK
Pretty self explanitory, the drawback is required in every jutsu no jutsu may be too strong! if you make a very strong jutsu, you had better come up with a strong drawback of the jutsu! Otherwise it may be denied. if there is no Drawback simply put N/A
DESCRIPTION
This is the very detailed part of the template! you must put explicit detail and tell exactly how to do the jutsu and what it looks like! Explain the jutsu inside and out!
LIMIT
the limit is basicly who is limited to the jutsu or whatyou have to have in order to perform the jutsu! remember your custom jutsu may be veiwed and learned by others so state the exact requirements to perform the jutsu.
Godmodding is strictly looked down upon at kaigakure for past experiences that im sure none of the villagers would want to go through here! Its considered cheating when you dodge too much!be realistic about the whole thing! look at your opponents attack and determine if your character would accually be able to dodge it in real life! same with your strength! limit yourself! your not as srong as a god and you have to realize that your use of jutsu is limited! No big godmodding moves that dont make sense either! keep your attacks realistic and our chakra realistic! no one has an endless amount of chakra! ok here goes (trying to make this as clear as possible!)
---Replacement jutsu should only be used three times per battle! anymore than that will from now on be considered dodging too much and looked a as godmodding! so use your replacement jutsu's lightly. because they may aid you
---With replacement jutsu's you may not use it when the opponent is performing a huge attack and coming at you in incredible speed! you have to perform the handsigns and that takes at least three seconds, and the opponent may be attacking faster than you could pull off the handsigns. So it is suggested that you find another way to counter jutsu's like that or dodge, because a replacement MAY not be accepted by staff...
---When using clones, please perform the handsigns before doing so! always perform the handsigns for EVERY jutsu! Although you dont have to say what you are performing the handsigns for! This way you cant say you poof in a cloud of smoke and you were revealed to have been a clone, every five seconds! because thats dodging too much and considered godmodding. You may hide clones in various places and things, just make sure you perform the handsigns! every jutsu requires handsigns! i cant stress this enough!
---Please no bloodlines that are waaay out there and not related to the ninja world in any way. I will accept some demons, but dragons and things are considered but just not waay out there. If you have dragons that are COMPANIONS than thats a whole 'nother story!! many times ninja have companions and i do not mind dragon companions in the least. just try not to make THEM too powerful either. When having a bloodline, its not like you know it right off the back! train for it just like you would train for a jutsu (which we will get to further down) and show at east fiv paragraphs for your training! a staff member will drop by to see how you doing and tell you what level your at with the training.
---You do not have unlimited weapons, remember that! there wont be a system for it or anything, so just try to keep the amount of weapons you have realistic please! also big weapons must be shown on your person at all times, it cant just appear out of nowhere! ike swords and bg shurikens and things like that. I dont care if you have custom weapons just make sure they're not too powerful, and if they are please give them a drawback.
---NO jutsu that sounds stupid or doesnt make sense! explain eah of your jutsu in great detail and make sure you and everyone around you can understand your writings! for example there are no such things as sake clones or stone dragons, so please stay realistic and serious! many people here are very serious about RP and no one wants to deal with someone who thinks its stupid or doesnt take it seriously.
---You dont have to take every hit your opponent attempts to hit you with just to not-godmod. listen, if you can find a decent way out of the situation your in without makig up some unbeleivable jutsu and staying within your Releases (your jutsu skills) and chakra, by all means please do so!! by this i mean if your opponent is attacking and you find some way out of it that is realistic, do it! Dont be afraid of breaking the rule because its a simple rule to follow, if you do break one you'll get a simple warning and be breifed on how to avoid it further.
Auto-hitting is basicly giving the opponent no chance to make a counter strike or dodge. Simply state that you are GOING for the attack and NOT accually attacking them. Auto-hitting is basicly running up and hitting your opponent in the same turn. which is not allowed. There is also auto-ending when people get mad and try to end the fight by saying they stab the opponent in the neck, which will NOT be tolerated! when someone dies here its an accual death! The character is dead! The user may make another character of the the same moves and the same rank however, but when they die, theyre name will be banned from the forum. They're name is gone and they have to make a whole new character. but auto-ending isbasicly cheating and will be givin warning and if continued possibly punishment.
Auto-Healing is basicly the same. Its healing just by saying you heal them. which is not tolerated. all RP is the same whether its fighting or just healing someone. Explain the heal in detail, and some heals may take longer than others!
---if your opponent attempts an auto-it you may still find a way out of it before they hit, an auto-hit results in an immediate counter attack as well. in other words if your opponent says they already hit you, you may dodge and auto-hit them back. This wont be considered auto-hitting on your part because you are simply making a counter strike, which is allowed.
---Counter striking is allowed either way, whether your opponent auto hits or not. the way this works is if your opponent attacks and misses but is still right next to you, you may directly hit them because it'd be a pretty swift and undodgable counter attack! this doesnt mean you can dodge all of your opponents attacks and counter attack them! dodge too much and its godmodding. Just once in a while when you see the REALISTIC opportunity!
