btw would you guys be open to some kind of roll the dice thing? I haven't fully planned it out in my head yet

because lets be honest, any fight, or RP fight thread, or whatever you want to call it, always ends up in an OOC argument
like it has nothing to do with skill rofl, it's like, whoever yields the argument loses the IC fight, which makes no fkin sense

simplifying it to a dice roll for the chance of something important happening in battle is better imo

^^ I'm siding with Nar on this one.

As for the new characters, just a question but are they going to be taught anything and if so by who? I vouch for the martial arts cow to be teacher,
well, like I posted earlier, they come in with basic fighting styles or weapons knowledge like an archer or swordsman already

and maybe someone who knows barely any chakra control, like coat their weapon for a one time use of chakra (starting to remind me of yu yu hakusho) which would be a last ditch effort to kill something because they'd exhaust themselves right after using it

anyways the teaching thing will probably be a very rare occurrence and when it happens it'll be a very small enhancement to the character. I'd like this to be as minimalistic as possible so that when the characters grow and months of IC development go by, you'll see the growth and how far they've come and w/e
I don't want someone's character to be able to take on 5 trained mercenaries at once (starting out, and even end-game) without receiving some kind of permanent damage and coming close to death
you'd simply be overwhelmed

I just don't see the fun in being over powered and becoming super over powered over time. It's overdone and stale. The characters have to decide whether to fight together or run when alone or outnumbered
(potentially missing out on rewards when you choose to run, but at least your character will be alive)

that's another thing, I want the chance of our characters dying to be a very real possibility, so you're forced to think if an upcoming encounter is worth the risk for reward
so you have to make a new character if yours dies

i'm guessing we're gonna do like a spring cleaning and edit our profiles, delete un-necessary threads and bake this batch from scratch?

no not yet, we're still talking in general
didn't even flesh out the setting yet

everything that was posted in this thread was basically all we talked about so far

Not that i have seen but im just putting it out there that i do not want any of it deleted.

Also, Nar while i agree with most of what you have said im still a bit... hrmm on the fence on how it will work. id like to make new characters and such but at the same time this is an "academy ". Im having a hard time seeing how its going to run smoothly without some sort of power structure. Aka headmasters and teachers. While i agree that i dont want people overpowered like we had before, i also do believe we need people that would be the motivation to become stronger. A student always wants to get up to their teachers strength. I just dont want it to get dull and end up losing some potential solid rpers.

I see what you're saying

I think it shouldn't be an actual academy then. An actual building-academy like we did before. With a setting like this, that will be very boring staying in one place and going off on missions and coming back and forth, like we did before. We need to do something different this time.

Like, maybe one of our old characters, or new teacher character or whoever (A TEACHER PERSON) accompanies the moving group of "students". Something will happen after or in the middle of their training and the teacher has to leave them. Then they keep exploring and eventually meet another "teacher".

Like it doesn't have to be an actual academy is what I'm saying
because idk about you but I felt very limited to be stuck in a building/thread

>.> I hope you means an actual cow
Yeah, it's an actual cow that knows how to do martial arts. One of the side characters I brought out for humor.

And I'm mixed between Nar and Ish on this. I believe it should stay an academy, but perhaps have delegated NPC teachers. Either that, or set some people to be the GM's of the storyline, very similar to table top RP's.

The reason I'm suggesting this is to still give that structure, but allow people to move about. This was also part of the reason I was so for banding up with other guilds/RP places, it gave us other areas to travel to, learn from/spar with other people there, and bring back the knowledge.

Every ninja clan has a home, every home a village. In essence, that's all this needs to be. A place to start out, but not a place to always stay.

I also think that there should be some NPC type person always at the academy to welcome and start the training for new members.

an academy wouldn't work with the story we have in mind

we're just going to repeat the same boring thing again if we make another academy (which is why I'm saying it doesn't have to be a literal academy)
