People do this with CCs for the most part. If you're talking about integrating that into the RP itself as Canon abilities then yeah, I can kinda see that.
For example, correct me if I'm wrong, but like, something like a fire technique that derives from a character like Natsu from FT? Is that what you mean? That can be a cool iteration. Change the lingo a little to make it known its from FT. I would just want the same elemental interactions to work and the damage and explination tied to our original RP that way there is no confusion. But if that's what you mean thats a cool idea. I mean we basically did it with Elden Ring and Dragon Ball so why not...
Not so much that, but currently the
whole system is based around the original Naruto RP game, everything from sensei's to doujutsu, custom clans, kekkei genkai etc. all the language is currently
hyper specific. If someone who comes in and has never seen naruto before, how do they know what the difference between a hidden ability, a kekkei genkai, an advanced ninjutsu is?
I think
removing all association from naruto, while shocking and probably tough to agree with, would actually open up the RP to be advertised to other communities. Instead, calling it an
Isekai RP allows it to have people instead be open to creating their own character.
If its advertised as 'hey come join this naruto RP, but its not really naruto, you can create what ever abilities you want' not only will you get people snubbing their noses because its naruto, people that havent even seen naruto, or people just not interested because they dont like the naruto system.
I think a rebrand as an Isekai RP instead would be beneficial because there are many different Isekai series that can have their power system
easily integrated or adapted into our RP game (even if we keep the same system). ADDITIONALLY the reason I suggest Isekai RP is because a generic
genre rp is easier to get people into rather than advertising a singular one. something like 'hey come join our generic magic rp' doesnt work because it might not come across as actual anime, 'hey come join our anime rp' doesnt work because it could be any anime from sailor moon to spy x family to bleach to what ever.
Again, I acknowledge it might not be a popular idea, and we might always call it Naruto RP in our hearts, but I really insist we should rebrand the rp system and language if we want to try get more people in. otherwise its just going to be the same 10-15 people or less that will participate.
I feel that the site has a solid foundation with the Naruto Universe. Making the new RP more generically focused would take more time to get started, with the balancing of powers from different mediums and such. Having the site primary foundation remain Naruto, then we could have systems in place to integrate other titles. The best example I can think of is using the rift system to allow for members to face off against other characters from other universes, with their powers adapted to the Naruto Verse. There could even be a thread where members can post potential rift bosses they would like to see and face off with for consideration.
I just think as a RP site we already have a solid foundation with Naruto at the center, integrating other titles slowly into the Naruto world would be a more sustainable idea instead of trying to incorporate or redevelop everything all at once to be less Naruto centric.
I started writing the above before this post, but its not necessarily a whole system that needs to change, but the language or way that its presented should be changed. With this opportunity for the RP to actually be changed and have a full work up, I think we should considered a language and theme rebrand as well. Not only this but also, the site itself is barely Naruto themed anymore, outside of the exclusive naruto rp. The naruto discussion is its own section, much like MHA, OP etc.
