HOW TO RP: BIOGRAPHIES (BIOS)

✖ WHAT ARE BIOGRAPHIES?
Biographies in the Naruto Roleplay are, in short, character selections to be used by RPers. They are the chief means by which members are able to interact in our multi-faceted roleplay system. Because of this, bios are the starting point for any prospective RPer and must be approved prior to partaking in the official RP. Naturally, the details of these bios (e.g., abilities, history, personality) can be customized and develop over time in a myriad of ways. Without a biography, you cannot partake in the roleplay system itself.


✖ BIO TYPES
There are two different Bio Types, allowing their uses to differ across the RP to allow for a more varied type of experience. Canon Bios are derived solely from the Naruto franchise and often have access to exclusive jutsu that are inaccessible to custom bios; however, there is less room to customize them in terms of ability fields and specialties. One can also create a "Bio Skin" of canon bios, changing their appearance and personalities. Abilities and restrictions, however, remain the same. Custom Bios are all essentially derived from any source aside from the Naruto franchise and may not be able to acquire specific things that some canon bios possess, but instead confer RPers with a greater range of possibilities.​

This is a Biography you have designated to be your Ninja World bio, meaning the bio you use in our Ninja World RP. Our Ninja World is called the Warring States Era, or WSE for short. The bio you choose as your NW bio is the one that will form the bulk of your in-character role playing experience with other members and is the bio capable of joining group, undergoing missions, and interacting with others outside of direct battle. This Bio can be a Custom Character or it can be a Canon Character though it must have a Character Skin, which means the physical appearance and personality can be custom even if the abilities aren't.

✖ BIO ABILITY & SPECIALTY OPTIONS
► Bio Abilities: In the RP, a wide variety of abilities can be paired together but there are limitations. These limitations vary based on the Bio Type in question but they all have inherent limitations and advantages to their use. The various abilities are grouped under several categories such as Kekkei Genkei, Advanced Elements, Hidden Abilities, Modes, Universal Abilities and Advanced Ninjutsu. Each of these categories, while sharing some overlap with other abilities, are grouped based on either shared traits or based on how they function in the RP. Normally, only one Kekkei Genkei, Advanced Element or Hidden Ability can be on a bio alongside one Advanced Ninjutsu and one Mode. However, should one choose to combine abilities in a Dual Ability setup, they will lose access to another field. This list can be seen in full in the Quick Access thread, linked at the bottom of this post.

► Obtaining Abilities / Canon Characters: In the RP, most abilities or characters have restrictions and limitations that require different ranks, tests or even Kumi ( the RP currency gained through battles, missions and Jutsu trades with other members ) to obtain. Abilities are divided within different tiers based on their canon power levels and their custom potential, scaling from Tier 1 at the lowest and Tier 6 at the highest. Abilities within Tier 3 and lower can be obtained via Kumi while most higher level abilities require either a Battle Test or Special Mission.

These abilities and their requirements can be found on the Official Tier List, linked at the bottom of this post.

► Bio Specialties:
Biography Specialties allow RPers the ability to customize their bios with more detail than before. With over 80 available Specialties to choose from, RPers have freedom in how they choose these Specialties as they no longer require other Specialties to obtain some of them, notably the Apex Specialties.

There are five different categories of Specialties to choose from, Body, Mind, Spirit, Fighting Styles and Extraordinary Specialties. While most of these can be chosen freely, there are some Specialties that actually require you to spend Attribute Points to obtain and as such, they are stronger than their free counterparts. Members are able to pick any 6 Specialties to place on their bios. These Specialties can apply to every bio and select Canon Characters have upgraded versions of these that augment their skill even amongst other specialist.

Bio Template Explained:
Code:
[B][U][SIZE=15px]Basic Information[/SIZE]
Name:[/U][/B] Here you state the name of your character.
[B][U]Title:[/U][/B] Here you state your character's official gained Titles. Only One title can currently be held at any time, with Sage Title being an exception. 
[B][U]Gender:[/U][/B] Here you state your character's gender. Male, female, trans, or any other gender your character identifies as.
[B][U]Age:[/U][/B] Here you state your character's age. Be logical of course, only very few Clans are capable of long lifespans.
[B][U]Clan:[/U][/B] Here you state the clan your character belongs to. This should be noted that it does not refer to your NW/WSE clan, but your bio's clan.

[B][U]Looks:[/U][/B] Here you describe how your character looks like what kind of cloths he wears and what kind of physical appearance he has. You can also just add a picture of your character here instead of describing him or refer to pictures that are posted elsewhere in your bio.
[B][U]Nindo:[/U][/B] Here is where you place the Nindo you have chosen for your biography here. 
[B][U]Personality:[/U][/B] Here you describe the personality of your character. Is he timid? Serious? Goofy? Schizophrenic? Etc. We don't judge.

[SIZE=15px][B][U]Village Info[/U][/B][/SIZE]
[B][U]Land of Birth:[/B][/U] Here you state the Land you are born in. If this is a canon bio, you simply write the canon Land ( Land of Fire/Water/Wind/etc ). If you have a custom character, you use the Ninja World equivalent (Land of Fire, Water Archipelago, Wind Desert, etc ).
[B][U]WSE Clan:[/B][/U] Here you write the name of the Ninja World Clan or Village you belong to.

[SIZE=15px][B][U]Stats & Skills Section[/U][/B][/SIZE]
[B][U]Bio Rank:[/B][/U] Here you state your rank, meaning the Rank assigned to you through. The status or positions your character has in the story do not apply here - solely your bio’s Ninja Rank. Later in this thread, you can see what missions and battles are required to obtain which rank and what you can learn upon reaching those ranks.
[B][U]Specialties:[/B][/U] Here you list your Ninja Specialties, being able to have up to 6. These vary between Mind, Body, Spirit, Extraordinary and Fighting Style Specialties. You can have these in any combination if you have the necessary AP for any that require it. 
[B][U]Skills:[/B][/U] Here you list all the various Ninja Skills you have learned. This includes the 10 Basic Ninja Skills everyone gains by default ( Basic 5 Elements, Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Genjutsu, Kenjutsu, and Bukijutsu ) as well as advanced fields such as your Kekkei Genkei or Advanced Ninjutsu. 
[B][U]Attributes[/U][/B]: Here you post your approved attributes and the points each has. The 6 Attributes are listed below with a short description of what they are for. More can be found in the appropriate threads. 
[list][*]MIND: This Attribute represents Ninjutsu power and accessibility.
[*]BODY: This Attribute represents Physical Damage with Tai & similar fields as well as grants physical damage shaving.
[*]SPRT: This Attribute represents Spiritual Damage with Gen & similar fields as well as grants spiritual damage shaving.
[*]AGL: This Attribute represents a character’s base speed and their ability to dodge techniques. 
[*]DEX: This Attribute represents a character’s base tracking capabilities and extends the range they can track.
[*]VIT: This Attribute represents a character’s health and chakra values, able to increase one at a time.[/list]

[SIZE=15px][B][U]Background Info[/U][/B][/SIZE]
[B][U]History:[/U][/B] Here you state the history of your character. For canon characters, you just follow their normal history, but if it's a canon character that has died, you only write history from before its death. Histories of custom characters have to fit the Narutoverse and, if a Ninja World bio, has to fit the Ninja World's unique universe and thus can't have contradictions with it.

[SIZE=15px][B][U]Other[/U][/B][/SIZE]
[b][u]Body Seals & Jutsu[/u][/b]: Here you list up to 7 Body Seals you have on your bio. This limit is also shared with Ninjutsu that state they need to be placed on the bio to be used. Sages are able to have one additional jutsu placed for a total of 8.
Scientific Tools and Supplies: Here you list up to 5 Scientific Ninja Tools that you have chosen to be on your bio. These Tools, if canon, can be found in the Scientific Ninja Tools jutsu list in the Special Techniques subforum and if custom, can only be approved Custom Technology. Supplies also share this limit. 
[B][U]Artifacts:[/U][/B] Here you list all approved Artifacts you have gained through the Ninja World.
[b][u]Theme Song and Background Music[/U][/B]: Some music, not really important. Most people post YT vids, but other people just add the name of a song.

[SIZE=15px][B][U]Battles[/U][/B][/SIZE]
[B][U]Won:[/B][/U] Here you state the amount of battles you officially won in our RP system, meaning that any made up fights in your history do not count and that in the case of a canon character, its battles in the Naruto plot do not count either. Thus logically in your first bio you have 0 wins.
[B][U]Lost:[/U][/B] Same comment as above, only this time for the battles you lost. Some people count every battle they ever fought, while others only count the battles they fought with that specific bio, it doesn't really matter what you choose to do.
