iAkura-kun Hinote Tosatsu iAkura-kun Edit: So that means that the launchers and such other things would be private tech, not public? and on that note, do I have to post puppets for approval? Yeah, you can make them as personal tech. But be aware that as time goes on someone else could make something similar as guildwide or if your design is sold enough times someone could start replicating it. Puppets are considered custom technology, so yeah. You'll need to design the entire thing and post it for approval. Or if you're feeling extra complicated, design part modules that can be combined to create a puppet. just make sure to check the limitations of the chakra string jutsu before you get too invested, to be sure you're not building a puppet you can't actually use. But there's a tech limitation so how would that work out? Well, you could change your crafter type to tech. Besides that though, you'd probably have to make some of the stuff guildwide tech instead of personal. Things like puppet limbs or something for instance wouldn't really have much point being personal.

Also, where could I start to RP? Edit: Can I just take crafter twice? XD

iAkura-kun Yeah I'll just change it to Tech, I didn't know I could do that so thanks for telling me! Also, where could I start to RP? If you'd started posting already, you probably wouldn't be allowed to. I'd honestly suggest holding off for now. We're working on a timeskip right now to get things into an easier jumping point to get straight into the meat of the RP, and hopefully not die out so quickly. I think luo is planning to make an official announcement today, but the work should only take us a day or two at most. (Actually it's mostly done already, we just need to make the new threads and settle a few details.) Edit: Why would you take crafter twice?

And because that way I can take both Ninjutsu and Tech, and no, I haven't posted yet so I'm sure i can make the change.

Would it be too late to change my first element from Raiton to Fuuton? I haven't learned any elemental jutsu or anything, and I think that fuuton would be a better fit, at least to begin with

I haven't learned any elemental jutsu or anything, and I think that fuuton would be a better fit, at least to begin with That's fine, since you won't learn elemental jutsu for awhile anyways. Honestly if we followed the rules to the letter students technically shouldn't even have elements yet, lol. Edit: You do need to post your profile though, in the E rank profiles thread.

I have a question concerning the way Houkou works. This was never really an issue for Kaizen because he had no natural elemental affinities, but would a character that is Houkou's host still be able to use elements that they are naturally attuned with without having to "switch" elements? In other words, let's say that a character with Raiton and Katon as natural elemental affinities were also the host of Houkou, and they currently were utilizing the [Elemental Prowess] effect to use Suiton jutsu, which they would not normally have access to. Would they have to wait two posts in order to use a Raiton or Katon technique, or does it only apply to elements the host would not normally have access to without the benefits of being Houkou's host?

Houkou ignores all natural affinities, so you'd be restricted to using the abilities he allows at all times. Simply put, allowing you to use your original elements plus whatever element you switched to using him all at once would completely negate the balancing effect of the limitations on him. A character can legitimately attain four elements by normal means with the right setup. Letting that same character then also use Houkou without that limitation would result in the character being able to use all five elements completely unrestricted. The trick to bypassing that limit is to master the demon and use demon stages to increase your available elements. XD

I actually completed a working Perfect Host system quite awhile ago, and just need to update the demons to follow it. I'll probably do that update before any demons are sealed actually. Still, the changes to update them to the new format and add PH capabilities will make them even more awesome than they are now.

Hmm... With Houkou my biggest plans are to change a bit in how the demon mode works. I love his demon mode abilities, but some of the other bits in there have always grated on me, like giving him the ability to use his own chakra instead of the host's, which no other demon can do. Besides making some areas like that make more sense, and probably adjusting some things a bit better, not much would change that would affect a sample. And anything that might you could easily review later since it'd be released before sealing. I should note that I have no idea when the demons will be showing up in the RP. If activity picks up a bit and stays up, they might be introduced soon, but if it's as slow as it is now, it could be quite awhile. Of course, that also gives us time to be sure you'll retain activity, and then some. Another note is that while I know where a couple of the demons are hidden in the world right now, Houkou isn't one of them, and most likely won't be the first to actually appear in game. I have a vague idea of where I want him to be, though I haven't fully settled on it yet. If he does end up where I'm thinking, we won't be seeing him until we get some missions beyond the forest/mountain area. I won't say which demons I know where are though. That'd spoil half the fun.

I just wish I knew some way to get more people interested in POTS. Usually people hear about other guilds from members they rp with, at least that's how it always worked for me, but I don't really have the time to try and join another guild, nor do I really have the inclination. On a side note, how long do you think it will be before the next lesson starts?
