Ninpocho Chronicles

Ninpocho Chronicles is a fantasy-ish setting storyline, set in an alternate universe World of Ninjas, where the Naruto and Boruto series take place. This means that none of the canon characters exists, or existed here.

Each ninja starts from the bottom and start their training as an Academy Student. From there they develop abilities akin to that of demigods as they grow in age and experience.

Along the way they gain new friends (or enemies), take on jobs and complete contracts and missions for their respective villages where their training and skill will be tested to their limits.

The sky is the limit as the blank page you see before you can be filled with countless of adventures with your character in the game.

This is Ninpocho Chronicles.

Creating a Character

So you want to get started on Ninpocho? Well, this is a good place to start. Just keep this in mind, we work with OC’s! Not Canon characters! OC means that it is an Original Character, this means that you have made it from scratch. Yes, you can get one or two things from anime as an inspiration. However, copying is a no go. Canon means that it is inside the anime. Ours represent Naruto, but no original Naruto characters are on this forum.

Here is a template for character creation:

Names
  • Your account name is what you use to log onto this site. Your character name needs to match your account name. It is common for new users to make this mistake. You will need to get your name changed before a village will accept you. To get a name change, go to [THIS THREAD]and an Administrator will be happy to help you.
    • There are several naming restrictions that you also need to consider when picking a name:
      • Do not pick the name of a Naruto character or anime character, it will likely result in a denial. Be original with your creation!
        "Uzumaki Naruto"; "Hyuuga Hinata"; "Uchiha Sasuke"; "Ramperouge Lelouche" - Lelouche, Code Geass; "Kirigaya Kazuto" - Kirito, Sword Art Online; "Akemi Homura" - Homura, Puella Magi Madoka Magica; "Lainbo Dashu" - Rainbow Dash, My Little Pony
      • The name must be Japanese or be able to be made of Japanese characters.
        Here is a Japanese character resource:
        hiragana-chart-1.gif
        Another great resource for naming is BehindtheName.com.
      • Your name must also be 'Japanese ordered' -- in Japan the surname is before the given name.
        So a name like 'John Smith' (not that it is a Japanese name to start with) would be ordered 'Smith John.'
      • The name you pick must not be a name that is an obvious transliteration of an English phrase, particularly one meant to offend.
        "Buraku Obama" - "Barack Obama"; "Burrowun Gizasu" "Brown Jesus."
      • The name you pick must not be a name that is an obvious reference to an internet meme or fad.
        "Sageru Fouruchan" - "Sage [a post on] 4chan"; "Weaboo Ichiban" - "Number 1 Weaboo"; "Mai Waifu" - "My [Anime] 'Wife'"
      • The name you pick must not be a name that is obviously non-Japanese or non-Chinese name even if it sounds vaguely Asian.
        "Barack Obama"; "Vladimir Putin"

Age
All new players start as students or genin when they make their first character. As you play the game, have experiences and grow in power, you will also ascend the various shinobi ranks. Usually, the age of 9 is the youngest that are accepted in villages, but it all depends on the individual village. Some accept younger, some want older. Maximum allowed age for a new student character is 13, and really no upper limit for a genin character. Time progression on NC is not linear with your own in the real-world. If you are hoping to play an older character, you will have the opportunity, just not immediately. Try to be considerate of others when you do age your character (don't be 9 one week and 32 the next), many player 'age' their character after major events (such as promotion to higher ranks, becoming an ANBU or a Mednin, completing a significant mission, etc.) While this may be more than you need to know, it is important to know that you will be not an 8 year old forever!

Physical Description
This is what your character looks like. The most important thing to answer here is your gender -- male OR female. While we are an open-minded community and open to all orientations, identities and dress choices, this is always a good starting point for your character. Then consider their skin color: do they have a tan, are they very pale, do they have dark skin? Is there anything special about their skin, such as scars, tattoos, being really hairy, having silky smooth/leathery skin? How about their hair: what color is it? How is it styled? Is it long or short? What about their eyes -- are they blue, green, pink, etc.? What does your character dress like? Try to describe their every-day attire. Is there anything of interest you might be able to add to your character - such as their build, facial expressions, etc. There is a word minimum on this which is 100.

Physique Guide

We understand that there is great variance in the physical appearance of people in the world. We ask however that you do not create six foot tall seven year old children or role play a teenager with the weight of a four year old. Here is a handy chart listing the average height and weight of Japanese school children.

Mental Description
This is how your character thinks. Are they hot-headed, calm, thoughtful, hopeful, ambitious? Do they have any tendencies? Do they tend to show the world a different part of them than they show those close to them or even themselves? How about hopes, dreams, phobias, things they love/hate? There is a word minimum on this which is 100.

History
This is your character's back story. Consider the environment that you live in. There are three villages to pick from: Cloud, Leaf, or Sand. Once you've made your character application in the respective village creation forum, that villages council will review it and either approve it, or work with you to get it up to site standards. In addition, you may want to be involved with another character on this site (such as a friend who recommended this site who you want to have an extra in-character attachment to or even a complete stranger that you enjoy reading the work of that happens to be on this site). To do so, it would require their consent, something we can seek for you or you can message them through [Private Messaging].

When making a history, try to consider where you came from, what you did until the point you joined the villages Shinobi Academy. It does not need to be anything spectacular and try to be logical when you make your back story (killing 3 S-Ranked Missing-Nin before becoming even a student would be highly unlikely for example). There is a word minimum on this which is 100.

Bloodline / Core Ability
The site works with a Bloodline and or Coreability use. Later on the game, you can learn Kinjutsu. But to keep it simple for now, if you wish to be an Uchiha, you have to pick up an Uchiha Bloodline. Now we have many more to choose from, but note it is not a must to start off with one.
You can find them here: Bloodlines and Core abilities Do note, once you have chosen one and you wish to make a change, you have to follow the rules for it. Which is to purchase an ASP item or waiting period. So take your choice with a bit of thought in it.
ASP Item:
Swap Card - 250 ASP points
Allows the free swap of a BL/CA without the waiting period. This still requires an application approved by the council for the new BL/CA.

There are a few ways other ways one can change their Bloodline:
  • 1) Death. Upon death, you will come up to the OCR board where you make your new character with a new bloodline or core ability.
  • 2) Bloodline and Core Ability swap
    • Must have been roleplaying with the current character since your last BL/CA swap for 8 weeks.
      • A 500 Word roleplay detailing how your character lost access to their Core Ability or Bloodline abilities.
        • Post the following code in your village request forum:
        • Code:
          [b]Name:
          Character Profile:
          Link to Where Current Core Ability Was Approved/Given:
          RP of Character Losing Core Ability:[/b]
Important: One can apply for either a new Bloodline or Core Ability, a player is not forced into choosing another Bloodline.

There is a word minimum on this which is 200.



Example Character Creation Application

Name: Izumi
Name Meaning: Izumi has the meaning “fountain, spring” in Japaneese.

Age: 10

Physical:
Izumi isn't that big for his age, but then again he isn't small either, he rocks it with his 1 meter and 30 centimeters height. His weight is surprisingly very well for his age, even a little bit more which is probably due to his mom's cooking. He weights around the 35Kilo's.
He has a light skin tone which is a surprising fact as he comes from origin sand. Yet the father is also that light tanned. Izumi has short, light grey/silver hair. He does take well care of it, to prove to his parents that he can have long hair and take care of it. He also has bright large sparkling blue eyes.

Personality
He is really outgoing, straight-shooting type. Enthusiastic and excitable. He lives in the world of action and finds it hard to sit still for long times. Izumi can be a real risk-taker when it comes to actions since he is blunt as well.
He is a practical, observant, fun-loving, spontaneous risk-takers with an excellent ability to quickly improvise an innovative solution to a problem. He is enthusiastic and fun to be with and is a great motivator. If he recognizes his real talents and operates within those realms, they can accomplish truly exciting things. He is also very loyal to those who he calls friends.

History:
Izumi isn't exactly born in the hidden leaf, his mother was actually from the hidden sand and his father was from the village hidden in the leaves. His father had to learn to know the mother through a mission as he was in the hidden sands. They went along very well with each other and after missions, they actually started to hang out, learn a lot more about each other and the father made a discussion. With approval, he went to the love of his life in the hidden sands. As they were there, Izumi was born around 3 years later. A youthful boy and sprung to life instantly. he was healthy that was all that had mattered.
Once Izumi was 4, something had happened between his parents, they often started to fight with each other and in the end, all came well. But the boy still held trauma from that. He didn't speak much anymore and resulted to silence. He didn't want to anger them, so he stopped talking to avoid it. But he did pick up Sign language along the way.

As the family found that Sand might not be the correct place for Izumi to grow up, they started to move towards the hidden leaf. Where his father luckily got work.

Once in the Hidden Leaf, his dad started to work most of his time, and most of the time that Izumi would be at schools or daycares. In the beginning, everything was hard on him as no one understood him and he couldn't make others know. He and his family spoke the deaf language, which was with hand signs.
At school he mostly was alone... As many of the other kids were afraid for him to use a jutsu... Yet Izumi was only trying to communicate with the others using his own sign language as that was the only thing he knew at that time.
Around the age of 12 years, they started to notice that Izumi had an ability to see further than others would. This mostly got towards the outside world when he started to spot things further way while playing the game: "I see.." They started to focus more down on that point. Eventually, they knew it for sure as they took it higher up with the academy also. A few tests were done and Izumi passed them all... However, him knowing a completely other language but understand was another. His studies at the academy went good and he made it towards Genin exams.

His exams were a little bit tricky, he did, however, make it past the 9 questions. He used his special ability to copy other's work while he looked from afar. He used this a couple of times actually and once he had all the 9 questions right, and his team, they passed the first test. The second one he had a slight bit more of trouble as he was one more for a faraway range. Yet he and his team worked together and after a long time, they were done... They all knew now what it was like in this strange but dangerous forest.
The rounds for the battles were made as test number three... However, Izumi did not make it into the last 3 he did manage to make it into the last 5.
When he got to be the lowest rank ninja he went to his house to celebrate it as new teams would be made. When he was home he started to celebrate it with his father and study hard ever since further.

Now in this scenario, Izumi is a Leaf academy student who has Core Ability: Hawkeye.

Many thanks to Takahashi Shiori for writing the original version of this guide! And Owly for updating this version.
