Konoha OOC Thread

Hidden Villages Profile Guild


l.:IMPORTANT PEOPLE:.l

1. Obey all Gaian TERMS OF SERVICE . (PG-13 conduct, no trolling, no soliciting, no plagiarism, ect.)

2. OOC should be as minimal as possible in this thread. For extended conversations, please relocate yourself to the Out-of-Character Thread.

3. This is a LITERATE community. Proper English and grammar are heavily praised here. If you're concerned about your writing ability not being up-to-par, please contact one of the moderators.

4. Konoha is a LONG-TERM community. While characters will be routinely coming in and out of the thread from time to time, members should plan to be dedicated.

5. The Moderators words are LAW. Disobedience to their requests will result in a blacklisting, and are therefore not welcomed back to participate in Konoha or any of the other conjoined villages.

6. Not all participants in Konoha need to be members. Not all members of Konoha need to be ninja. Only members of Konoha (especially members wishing to partake in missions and events) need to submit a PROFILE. All profiles and character requests must be submitted to the Hidden Villages Profile Guild. There are rules specific to character-construction there, so be sure to read those! The guild is temporarily under construction, so sit tight.

7. Fighting is allowed, but this is a ROLEPLAY thread rather than a battle thread. NInja are welcome to spar against each other, as long as it's consensual, doesn't cause damage to the village, and doesn't kill anyone. Konoha is currently NOT OPEN TO ATTACK. This means that people are not allowed to attack the thread itself. People are allowed to fight in the thread and pose challenges, but they're not allowed to use that challenge as a means to cause damage to the village. This includes killing people and stealing anything of importance to Konoha. People who wish to commence an attack with a reasonable storyline behind it should PM TSUNADE so that it can be set up correctly, so that the appropriate people will be online to participate. The simple PM rule will stand until a more specific system of engagement terms can be formulated.

8. This Konoha is CANON. Characters originally from the Naruto universe will be restricted to the actual storyline of the manga and anime. Since our roleplay is set in the time at the beginning of the Shippuuden sagas, the missions and accomplishments that take place after Naruto's return from his two-year training will not have happened yet. Please be courteous in terms of spoilers, since not all participants in Konoha may be up-to-date on Naruto's most recent chapters.

9. To avoid arguments in fighting, all participants will be expected to adhere to the Anti-Munch regulations.

Land of Fire

The Land of Fire is home to Konohagakure, the Village Hidden in the Leaves, and is the home to many ninja. It enjoys a relatively temperate climate, with generally sunny conditions year-round. It was at first widely regarded as one of the strongest countries, but became significantly weaker after Orochimaru's invasion of Konoha, however, still holds a powerful defense.




l:.DEFENSES AND LOCATIONS.:l

A large wall protects the citizens of Konoha from all outside threats from the front, and the wall connects to the Hokage's mountain in the back, which resembles a Mt. Rushmore-like monument, with the faces of the five Hokages that have come and gone, as well as the present Hokage, Tsunade.

The wall is made of STONE, at least 9-10 stories high, erected to protect the village since the times of the first and second Hokages, who'd originally founded Konohakagure.

ANBU Black Ops (sort of like an elite police, the parallel SWAT team of the ninja universe) constantly patrol at the top of the wall, along with Konohakagure's own nin, to provide early recognition of oncoming threats.

There is only one opening in the wall, 6-story high double doors that require immense strength to open. It's almost unheard of that one person could open them by themselves from either inside or outside. A mechanic device operated by Chuunin and Jounin guards from the inside of the village opens and closes the double doors.

Further, two ninja are positioned in a small open office to inquire all who enter that aren't persons native to Konoha.




Inside Konoha, there are a number of places that are essential to Konoha's civilian geography, as well as popular hangout spots.
