Hey there, it's your captain, Uchiha Roxas, here giving you the heads up that this is where you ask questions if you're confused. There are also some FAQ questions answered below, so don't be shy and get stuck in. We love a good question here at WoTS.


Frequently Asked Question #1

WoTS why don't you have a jutsu list?

Because WoTS accept anything that is Cannon, we believe that we shouldn't have a jutsu list because there are many different resources for Naruto Jutsu material. We personally use both Narutopedia and Leafninja. They have every single jutsu ever used in Cannon listed. So what's the point in a jutsu list. Custom techniques, if you want them are all posted underneath the Accepted Custom Jutsu thread in the application section.

Frequently Asked Question #2

WoTS, why don't you have a chakra system?

Trust mostly. We trust our RPers to be able to RP out the fact they're running out of chakra. I mean, everyone eventually runs out of chakra: Hokage's, Jinchuriki and Uchiha have all been shown in Cannon to eventually deplete in Chakra after going nuts with Jutsu. So, if we believe someone is abusing this trust we will step in.

Another reason we do not employ a chakra system is because of well, abuse. Chakra systems can be abused beyond belief and because its a system, you are more likely to abuse such a system. Where as if someone trusts you to be a good roleplayer and do the right thing, you are less likely to abuse their trust. Chakra systems also allow for roleplay skill to take a back seat in fights. Which for good RPers is annoying when they get beat by someone just because their Maths makes it impossible to do so.

Frequently Asked Question #3

WoTS, why am I not allowed to have two characters in the same village? That seems a little unfair.

It may seem a little unfair at first but please bear with us and give us a chance to explain. Having two characters in the same village is actually rather detrimental to a guild experience for a lot of reasons. The first and most important reason is that with having two characters in the same village, especially two of different rank, for example: a Kage and a Genin; it would put one of our oldest and most sacred rules in jeopardy. This is the rule that no RPer may have their characters interact. It has been abused in many different ways in the past and we do not want repeats of that.

The second reason is rank hoarding. Some RPers have pretty much filled all the Jounin positions in a village, making it so no one else may have them. Is that really fair? Not only has this person got pretty much perfect characters with no work but now there is no variety in RP and no one else may try having those positions. So, in a way, this rule is here to bring about a fairer roleplay environment.

And thirdly, for us moderators, when evaluating the activity within a village; we do it via how many DIFFERENT RPers are posting. If one village is kept alive by one person and their 20 different characters; we are faced with a situation where we may have to shut down a village that is arguably active. So, it's just easier for us so we can make that decision on whether or not a village has to go or not.

Remember you may have 1 Character per Village though. It's not like you can only have one character.

Jutsu Knowledge and Affinity Explanation


An easy way to explain this system is that nobody is good at everything. So, in WoTS we are forced to choose certain types of jutsu and prioritise those types accordingly. We split the jutsu types our characters are good at into three groups: Primary, Secondary and Tertiary. What group you put your selected jutsu types in brings about different consequences and restrictions. These are as such:

Primary: You may learn SS Rank Techniques of any Primary Jutsu Type you chose. Think of these as your character's favourite types of jutsu to cast.

Secondary: Secondary Jutsu types are Jutsu Types your character is adept in but not a master of, you may learn any A Rank Technique for these types.

Tertiary: Tertiary Jutsu Types are types of jutsu your character is about average with. Any character may learn up to B Ranked Techniques for their Tertiary Jutsu Types.

Unlisted: Unlisted Jutsu Types are Types of Jutsu that did not make it into any of these three categories. Your character has no talent in these types of jutsu whatsoever and cannot use any techniques of these types. The only exception to this rule are Taijutsu and kenjutsu which characters can have a basic understanding of even when they are not listed but may not use any form of technique for them.

Now, with those explained we can explain the different set up types you can have for Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Jutsu Types. These are called Mastery Setups. You can arrange your Primary, Secondary and Tertiary in many different ways in order to give different ways of developing to your character's masteries. The currently accepted set ups are listed below. We may also add different set ups in the futures.

Standard Mastery Setup: 1 Primary, 2 Secondary, 3 Tertiary
Offensive Mastery Setup: 2 Primary, 1 Secondary, 2 Tertiary
Withdrawn Mastery Setup: 1 Primary, 3 Secondary, 1 Tertiary
Prodigy Mastery Setup: 3 Primary, 0 Secondary, 1 Tertiary
Hyper Offensive Mastery Setup: 2 Primary, 2 Secondary, 0 Tertiary
Versatile Mastery Setup: 1 Primary, 1 Secondary, 5 Tertiary

I didn't actually know what you wanted me to do, you asked for an explanation and the most basic explanation of everything to do with the Mastery System is in that post; I know it seems weird but well, I just thought you hadn't read it. Help me to help you by being more specific and we can sort out your needs.

Also, yes, sand jutsu are reserved for Shukkaku Hosts. They're pretty unique within cannon.

Is it possible to give up learning your third element in exchange for more points for your overall Jutsu cap? I feel like the two elements I have are more than enough, and in giving up learning a third element, which essentially cripples me, I could learn more Jutsu overall with the two elements I have in order to create a balance.

Just a thought. Oo3oO

It's a genuine thought, however we do not have a system in place that allows for the jutsu cap to be raised. That said, you can choose not to use all three elements. For example, while my character has mastered Raiton, Katon, and Doton, I do not have a single Doton technique in my arsenal. This third element (or more in the case of higher ranks) is only there as a limit so that people don't assume perfect control of everything. It is not a minimum requirement by any means.

I'm assuming your question thus is "Do I need to use all three?" and the answer is no. You may choose to only have techniques in two elements if you like, but if that is your choice know that you are limiting yourself and we won't compensate by allowing you to have additional jutsu in place of versatility.

Thanks for your time! 8D

I just reread the Bijuu system for the fifth time since I joined and I saw nothing that prohibits a Jounin from having one, proof being the portion that says two people can start will 5A or 5B mastery while the former two portions explicitly stated the highest a Genin or Chuunin could reach in mastering their Bijuu. So... That being said, I know it's still under construction and all but I have to ask. Will a mod like to assume control of the Kyuubi while Izaya fights for Phase 5B Dominance? I'm sure whether I win or lose said fight would count towards whether I get accepted for the Bijuu or not? >o>

We're still fleshing out a lot of the Bijuu system right now, but as far as I can say, I'm fairly certain we would not be distributing the Kyuubi to a character with the Sharingan, due to the Kyuubi hating the Sharingan. My biggest suggestion is don't think of Bijuu for the time being, as things might change over these next few days with them. The Bijuu are an extremely powerful source of chakra and control, so just handing them out to any and every character is something we're likely not going to do.

That being said, however, do not hesitate to apply for a Bijuu, regardless of what I've said. We will consider all applicants, as both the RPer and the RPC, and how exactly would they fair with these both.

The fight is for complete domination so it wouldn't really matter if he hates the Sharingan or not. xD

I'm confident about my skill as a rper so I know I'll get the Kyuubi if I apply [confidence dripping from my eyeballs 8D]. Does this mean I'll have to...make a Genin and stuff in order to apply? 'Cuz I really want to focus solely on Izaya in this guild. I love him more than my other RPCs for some reason, which is strange considering I never liked how people overestimated the Sharingan and thus I've never made an Uchiha of my own. How wrong I had been! Dx

Jellisha

The fight may be for complete domination, yes, however you really have to ask yourself as to how the Bijuu, the Kyuubi, would allow itself to ever be sealed inside of a Sharingan user, let alone grant him any form of chakra at all.

I would recommend not saying that to the person who will be distributing the Bijuu. It doesn't matter how good of an RPer you are, it's my final say in who the Bijuu get handed out to. That being said, I know of other people in WotS that I would gladly hand the Kyuubi over to in a moment without them even filling out an application, simply based on the fact alone that I can trust them with such power. Being a good enough RPer to RP with the Kyuubi is one thing, but the other is to prevent having this God-like RPC running throughout all of WotS, with the ability to basically shut down any proper means to counter the Nine Tales (via other Bijuu), and then unleash the pure destructive force of the Kyuubi without any restrictions. This was the reason why we've re-started the guild, because everything I just described WAS a character at one point; and then some. Overall, we're going to try avoid having re-caps of that moment.

Me and my big mouth... sweatdrop

Well if that's how you feel then I'll consider making a new RPC when the finalized system is up. I don't godmod though... Never have... vov

Jellisha

Sounds like a plan. Also, I didn't mean to insinuate that you GM, if you took it in that way. We have had characters who were the Kyuubi host before, who were over-powered as all Hell. Think of Rinnengan, former Kyuubi host with possibly more chakra than the Kyuubi, with the ability to access any Bijuu that were stored away in a statue via a ring. By the way, the statue had almost all Bijuu inside of it. WotS needed this restart, trust me when I say that. That's why I'm going to be a prude when it comes to handing out these Bijuu. Because anyone that gets one and does a repeat of that gets put down on my report card :u
