Setting - The setting for this will be the leaf village. If you join, you'll be a leaf ninja. I don't want to make this into a giant mess, so we're keeping it on a small scale. Obviously, missions will take you to other places, but you will be a leaf ninja.
Time Period - This will be after the current storyline. Assuming Naruto is the Sixth Hokage, we will be using the Eighth Hokage. Not the seventh, since that guy is dead. (Check the List of NPCs to see the current Hokage...)
Posting - All standard rules apply, meaning no god mode, no modding, and no powerplaying. I or another staff member will decide how your actions effect an NPC enemy or the surroundings. Your rate of success and everything that deals with the effects of your actions will be decided in the same way. So, for example...
Right way: I throw a punch, aiming for the enemy's face.
Wrong way: I punch the enemy in the face, somehow killing him instantly! OMG!
The example is...stupid, as its wording will probably never happen in a real situation, but you should get the gist of it. As for your turn order, it will be a cycle. There won't be a set order, but everyone will go before a new cycle starts. That is, everyone will go unless they are inactive for a day after everyone has posted or if they tell us to skip them.
Character Interaction - With other players or NPCs, NEVER control their actions or what they say. This isn't your story, this is an RP that doesn't feature any one person as the main character. If you have ideas for how the story will progress, instead of taking the spotlight by directing other characters towards what you want, PM me and I can TRY to figure out something like that. Notice how I used the word try.
Plot - It will change with each mission. There will be no ulterior motive in the RP from the beginning. Unlike the manga, I don't think its logical for a Genin to fight S-ranked criminals and win, so that will be put off for later. I do have an idea for what to do when it gets to that point, but...thats a long ways away.

Name: Japanese style, so last name, first
Age: Probably around 13-16. You start out taking the Genin exams. No exceptions.

Gender: Preferably male of female, but if you want to have a hermaphrodite, I'm...not totally against it.
Personality: Be interesting...
Aptitude: 10 points to use. This effects your characters growth, not just the starting level
Taijutsu -
Ninjutsu -
Genjutsu -

List of Jutsu: To be chronologically updated(New jutsu attained by training). No need to have any right now. Ninja basics don't need to be listed.
Bio:
Other Info: Miscellaneous stuff about your character. Small habits/quirks or maybe something they carry with them. Be creative..or something.
_______________________________________________________________
Name - When making a name, make it Japanese. It doesn't have to actually mean something. If you don't care, just steal names from anime Characters.
Note: If you want to be an Uchiha or a Hyuuga, you'll need a good character. Don't assume you can use that as a name without asking in advance.
Age - Remember, this is a prospective genin your making. They probably won't be 30. Also, I really don't want any super geniuses here. It won't help you progress faster. Most people will be on the same level when they start. What makes you progress faster than others is your posts.
Appearance - Anything non pornographic goes..
Gender - Self explanatory?
Equipment - Anything non normal. Meaning, no need to mention a kunai knife or shuriken.
Personality - You want your character to be interesting. If they aren't, they won't be fun for you. Don't try making them super analytical if you don't want to think outside of the box in every situation. Don't make them idiots if you don't want to aimlessly charge into confrontation. Etc, etc.
Aptitude - This is NOT your skill level. This is the way your character will progress. A higher aptitude for taijutsu doesn't mean you know a bunch of strong moves. It means that you can learn those moves faster than others. Keep that in mind. Putting 10 into one category, while not against the rules, will mean you're severely limiting yourself.
Element - All personal preference, really. Sooner or later, I'll allow a second element to those who have proven themselves "capable." (In the RP, of course. >_>)
List of Jutsu - "Water Jutsu" bores me. Be specific. That site I listed in the Name section can work here. As a brand new Genin, you won't have many. When you want more, go to the training. I'll try to do something to make it easier on you, as I, currently, don't have a jutsu development area...
Bio: Not everyone's story will be a tale of untimely tragedy, but this is a ninja village. An uneventful life is less likely than a tragic one....keep that in mind. You probably won't have a Sasuke-like life, but you won't have a Sakura-like life either. >_>
Other Info - No holding a tailed beast... Thats a major plot device, not something you become on a whim.
