Welcome to Gaia! ::

Neko: I always wondered which one of us would end up being the 'bad guy', guess it ended up with you. ._.;; XD It's a good idea though, has kinks but I like it.

As for the profiles, let's NOT do Jutsu lists, it takes too damn long and is a bother to read unless they are 'special' and 'unique'.

The Arena was always attached to the main RP in a sense. If you died there you died in the RP unless it was a non-canon fight, which it generally wasn't. It was just in another time frame. So, in essence if you're asking it another way I didn't answer, what happens in the main RP doesn't have to happen in the Arenas at the same time and vice versa.

(I said the same thing about the main thread for now. Best to use that to teach for awhile until we get more students, etc.)

Usag: Eh, a shop wouldn't be a good idea for the sole reason as it would then detract from the main story and people would have to wait for you to get their weapons.

HOWEVER, I do like the idea of having them wait so we can finally teach hand to hand combat (unless their teachers whisk them away for elemental training). So it's a double-edged sword for me.

I don't think alignments really should have anything to do with it though, unless their teachers don't really like one another (think Kakashi and Gai...ew). Either way, that's my thought on it.

As for the favor system, I like it. It's like them performing low ranked missions in a sense. (Reminds me of when the GNA used to allow hits on people and was for hire...)

Kai: Getting a picture done is gonna be a tricky task. I could try to draw something up, but I'd need details and would probably need to do it to scale. I know that Ho and Hikari both used to have stuff that was mainly suited for their elements.

I dunno about the profile sheet, but I could work something out if you tell me what all you want to know.

Once again, you kill me with the Naruto theme. D: Gaia's fine, that's already in our blood, Naruto to a point as well I guess? Original places are good though, maybe once we re-vamp we could also include some places from affiliates I have in mind.

I already gave you guys a protocol. -_-;; At least I think I did. If not I'll ask Vahn for his since that's widely accepted in tournament standards on Gaia.

Mmm, seems we had different ideas in mind as to what you meant. I thought you meant as in having your own thread for it.

Usag, do you remember that guild we joined awhile ago? The one where we had to do those long a** detailed profiles that had us list everything from the jutsu's we used down to what underwear we wear (joking on this part)? Some of us are going to know a s**t load, and we generally won't update it once we learn more.

If we had someone going around and making a list every time a student made something new, that'd be fine...but it'd be rare to find said person to do said job. Know what I'm saying?

But, to make it clear cut, if they have an attack that isn't a general one and is unique to them, they should write it out to the point where almost everything about it is said, unless it's a 'secret' technique (?).

Tutsumi:
The basic jutsu's that students learn from the dojo's will be in the dojo's intro post. That shouldn't be whats listed in the jutsu list.
The personal jutsu's that's their bloodline for instance, should be what's mentioned.

In essence, Nar, just what I said. However, I'm not agreeing with this, "The basic jutsu's that students learn from the dojo's will be in the dojo's intro post", thing. Aside from making it far too long, no one does that. It makes it look cluttered and unprofessional. Not to mention that we don't need idiot students learning stuff without us teaching it to them just because they now have the resources to know what we'd teach them.

That's like having a technique list on the window of a martial arts store, you just don't do that.

Kaimen:

It's very much possible that my post was a bit off from what I meant.

Although I do like the idea of having an ever-present villain, I wasn't intending to be the center of the storyline. A lot like the Joker or Catwoman in the old batman cartoons. The main story doesn't revolve around me, but I'm in 75% of the episodes.

Yeah, I'd have my own thread to flesh out the story, but most of my RP would be done in the main threads, most likely by proxy/ another character which is still tied to Nek. As the story progressed, the "Nekojiri's HQ" or whatever thread would be attackable. Maybe always open to infiltration?

Edit: In retrospect, it would make sense, if we're having Admin-executed storylines, to have a common enemy. A reason for the arms race, and all the crap going down that's making the GNA lease out it's nin to restore peace.

To keep things from being stale, and to use the Batman metaphor again, we could do episodes of storyline. Have one focus on a big, immediate problem, and when that is resolved (Through hours to weeks of RP) move on to another problem. I know you said it, but I feel that it could use some emphasis.

Edit Edit: I realize now that I didn;t use the Batman metaphor in either of those paragraphs. Maybe I kjust like saying Batman right now.

...Batman

What I meant, Tut, is that at the end of one of the "Episodes" where Neko is the focus, it could be opened up for attack, to signal an end of that ep. I in no way meant that it should be open to attack all the time. That's just crazy X.x
