Welcome to Gaia! ::

Having watched the profile acceptance thread for quite awhile, and seen the same problems arise time and again, I have decided to write up a simple guide to your first profile. The system can be confusing, and even scary at first, but once you understand it, it is quite easy.

We shall start with the first part of the profile, the “Main Information” section.



Your RPC name is simply that, what you wish to be called. Nicknames are things you want other people to recognize you by if not your name. They aren’t really needed, so it’s optional.

Age is also simple, as is birth date and gender.

Your village is the first complication in the profile, and at this point you need to ask, where do I want to live? Some villages will be closed at times in order to even out numbers, so keep an eye on that as well.

Race and rank are well explained in the original code, so that will be skipped over as well. Just a note though, everyone is human. We don’t have any half breeds running around. If you want to be a human puppet like Sasori, well, take that up with Gregar.

Your profession decides some portion of your characters life. Will you be a school teacher, or a front lines jutsu slinger? Keep in mind that the Shinobi Profession is just a roleplay aspect, and is not required.

Your ninja class is one of the most important things you will have to decide, each class comes with it’s own bonuses and limitations, so be sure to study up before you decide. The types can be located in the starter forum. Remember that you can only have two.

For simplicities sake, I will now fill in the slots with a well known character, whether you like him or not, we all know his abilities.

+Main Information+


Full Name: Uchiha Sasuke
Nicknames: N/A
Age: 12
Birthdate: 7/23
Gender: Male
Village Konohagakure
Race: Japanese
Rank: Genin
Shinobi Profession: Fighter
Ninja Type: Elemental Control / Combo User

Next, we move on to the next section. “Major Information” This section is rather large, so I shall split it into it’s own minor section. We shall begin with chakra.



The first slot is very important, as it can decide the difference between an accepted profile, and denied. Your bloodline. By default, you will have no bloodline. If you want one, you have to study up on them, decide what one you want, and submit an application for it. Until said application is accepted, you can’t have it, so you should refrain from submitting a profile with a bloodline unless you have been accepted. And Gregar will know. He always knows. As for demons, at the time I am writing this they have all been taken. They work the same way though, you have to submit a profile and the crew will decide if you get it. If someone already has the demon you want though, they will probably not appreciate a new request for it.

Clans are the same as bloodlines really, and you have to go through the same process to acquire one.

Your bloodline stage is also important. If you have been accepted into a bloodline with multiple stages, it always starts at stage one. You can’t submit a profile with the ultimate stage.

The chakra levels are well explained within the code. If you have no bloodline, you have low chakra, if you have a bloodline, you get medium. Don’t feel pressured into getting a bloodline though if you didn’t want it, the bonus isn’t really very high. A clan head gets high chakra, but you can only be head if you’re the first to join the clan or the spot is reserved, and you can’t be head till you hit chuunin. For now, only jinchuuriki start with high chakra.

Chakra element is another thing you want to consider closely, because once you choose it, you’re stuck with it. You can’t learn jutsu outside of your element either, so you may want to skim through the jutsu lists and know what you want to learn. You can gain another element at chuunin level, and a third at jounin, so think ahead as to what you want to learn when. If you acquire an elemental bloodline, such as Mokuton (Wood Release) or Hyoton (Ice Release), you will start with the two elements that are the basis of that bloodline, such as wind and water for Hyoton, and you must go through a life or death situation to acquire the bloodline element. You will gain your third element at Jounin.

And now we go back to our wonderful emo friend for his enlightening input.

+Major Infomation+

Bloodline/ Or Soul Demon: Sharingan
Clan: Uchiha
Current Bloodline Stage: One
Chakra Color: Blue
Chakra Level: Medium
Chakra Element: Fire

And now we move to the rest of the major info.



Your battle strengths and weaknesses are determined by three things. Your ninja type, your bloodline, and your chakra element. A fire ninjutsu user will be weak to a water ninjutsu user, whereas a taijutsu user would slaughter both in close combat. Your bloodline will most likely have certain traits that alter your strengths and weaknesses too. A Hyuuga is almost impossible to catch off guard, but most limit themselves to close range in order to monopolize on their ability.

Your fights won and lost are simply stats that you update after fighting another RPC, leave them blank for your submission.

Special skills. This is where most have been denied as of late, because people don’t fully understand them. These are not your RPCs special traits, like that super awesome sword you got that can turn into any element you want it to. Your special skills are the bonuses that come with your ninja type. For example, those who choose the Support Ninja Shinobi Type would list their special skills as "Can learn Jutsu 2 posts faster" and "Can use jutsu with little to no handseals." Some bloodlines and clans also give special skills, so be sure to check everything on your RPC before deciding this section is complete.

Just like your fights won and lost, completed missions are left blank for the start. These are gained in the role play.

Organizations are any group you join that is not your village. Akatsuki, The Seven Swordsman of the Mist, and Sasuke’s team hawk are organizations. But as it says in the code, you won’t be in one yet.

Back to Sasuke!

Next!



Moving on we find summoning information. Just to let you know, no, you do not get a summon at character creation. Hold off on your urge to put down Gamabunta as your boss summon until you find someone who owns the scroll. You can also only learn a summon at chuunin level barring a few exceptions, so it’s a moot point.

Your headband and flak jacket are your to decide! Have fun, but keep it realistic please. Your Headband does not even need to be a headband; It can be a metal plate on your jacket, a dog tag, etc., as long as it is clearly visible and has your village symbol on it.

Now, you might find this weapon spot confusing, but don’t worry, it’s really quite simple. In this slot you put down any weapons you may have other than the basics. Kunai, shuriken, all of those are already on you. No, here you put down if you have a sword, staff, or even a giant rubber mallet. You also use this slot to put down any custom weapons you might have, hence the special abilities slot. If your weapon has any special abilities it needs to be approved in the custom weapons section, but if it’s just a plain old sword, go ahead and put it on. Dont be afraid to be creative, but also keep in mind that it has to be humanly possible to wield, An eight foot long Katana will be denied.

This next slot has all of your basic disposable ammunition, you can choose however many you want of each, but again, be realistic. I have seen Gregar deny a profile for having way too many shuriken.

The rest are just like the headband, you decide where you want these things.

We’re almost done folks, just a few more sections to go. Next is jutsu.



For now, this section just stays the way it is. Later on though, while you are learning new jutsu you put them here to keep track of what you can and can’t do. Update your jutsu list every time you learn a new jutsu. If a battle mod finds you using katon goukakyou when all you know is katon ichi, you’ll have some explaining to do.

Well that was simple, didn’t even need Sasuke’s help! Next we move on to more personal details, in the biography section!



If you don’t have a picture or a link to a picture for your RPC, it is nice to have at least a short description under that handy little character description spot.

Your personality is yours to decide, and most of the time won’t be questioned. Try and make it someone you can live with being though, as it is your character and you are stuck with them.

Your nindo is simply the moral you live by. Naruto had his, and we all have our own. Some people even keep theirs in their custom posting format. Make up a phrase you think your character can live by, and that’s your nindo.

The rest are pretty simple, just don’t go crazy and you’ll be fine.

One more note, please do not post here. Doing so will result in punishments.
