Xaddu!

Hello, lol. Of course, not in any known language, but that's never stopped me before.

Personally, not all that bad. Bit boring honestly. In the guild? Very slow.

And yeah, we've made a few changes here and there to try and generate more interest. it... Hasn't completely worked. Probably at least partially because an NUR spinoff guild came out right after we made our changes, with almost the exact same basis... Or just the good old fallback of there being far too many Naruto guilds out there trying to share the same players.

Yeah, just the one village for now. Which, we haven't gotten around to even naming. We just call it "The Village", lol.

As for Houkou, unfortunately I can't hand him back just yet. I plan to have all the demons be sealed as in game events, and haven't actually decided where I want Houkou to be hiding out quite yet. Mostly because we haven't really expanded the world beyond the village much yet. You can make an application for him, but no decision will be made on who gets him until the actual event where he's sealed.

To be perfectly honest though, I would love to see him in action... I've said this about all of them at some point I think, but he's one of my favorite designs for the updated demons.

We're going for almost completely original at this point. Naruto concepts placed into an interpretation of early Japan, in a world of our own design. We kinda felt like typing too closely to canon was holding us back in some ways from doing things we really wanted to do, and potentially causing conflicts over whether to add certain canon aspects simply for being canon despite breaking balance. A completely new world offered a lot more freedom, so we went for it.

The styles have been temporarily removed for now until we can go through them and make some massive edits and improvements. But we do have a new universal list. It doesn't have a lot of moves really, but it covers a lot of other useful things.

Hmm... Not much. If you follow the guidelines in the format it's pretty easy to make a character I think. Besides that, you can buy any starting equipment you want with your starting cash, which is recommended, though you need to have space to carry it properly. And, we're temporarily allowing new characters to learn two E rank weapon basics techniques, OR, one D rank. Those are necessary to use basic weapons like shuriken accurately, so I recommend picking the ones you'd use most often, though you'll have a chance to learn them in game later anyways.

If you get your character started before we start the next academy lesson you can also post starting at the academy at the end of the lesson we just did, and either learn the jutsu we taught, or at least enough of the theory to learn it later. (If you post too late, you'll have to learn it on your own from an NPC, and miss being in the next lessons, which is boring.)

Only other thing is to please, please, set up your backstory and first post to have been in the village for about a year, or at least a few months. We had a time skip of a full year because the introductory phase of everyone deciding to arrive from outside was taking way too long to deal with, and we actually lost a few members during it.
