✖ WHAT ARE BIOGRAPHIES?
RP bios are, in short, character selections to be used by RPers. They are the chief means by which members are able to interact with our multi-facted roleplay system, in addition to one another. It follows then, that 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 fully customized and develop over time in a myriad of ways.
✖ BIO TYPES
► Canon Bios:
These are derived solely from the Naruto and Boruto series, across all media with details pulled from Narutopedia. Often times, canon bios have access to exclusive jutsu and traits that are inaccessible to custom bios; however, the tradeoff is that there is less room to customize them in terms of ability fields and specialties.
Examples: Naruto and Boruto Uzumaki, Sasuke and Madara Uchiha
► Bio Skins
These can be applied to any canon bio in order to make them partially custom. Everything, bar the bio's ability restrictions can be altered to suit one's own personal preferences.
Example: A bio skin for Tsunade Senju would include a custom name, looks, personality, and history. But it wouldn't include AN, modes, or canon contracts (other than slugs) since this particular canon bio does not ordinarily allow for such things. Still, it would retain all abilities intrinsic to the bio.
When using bio skins, which canon bio is serving as the basis must be clearly stated.
► Custom Bios:
These are all essentially derived from any source aside from the Naruto and Boruto series, oft instead being pulled from other series or media or other times, being made entirely from scratch. But no matter the source, the details of any custom bio must be tailored to fit the RP. While this type of bio may not be able to acquire specific things that some canon bios possess, custom bios instead confer RPers with a greater range of possibilities.
Examples: Ichigo Kurosaki (Bleach), Izuku Midoriya (My Hero Academia), Luffy D. Monkey (One Piece)
► Trial Bios:
These are just as the name implies, pre-approved canon bios to be used on a trial basis. This option enables RPers to temporarily explore a range of abilities and traits without having to make a formal commitment. At this time, RPers can select one trial bio at a time to use for a one-month period before having to wait one more month to rent again.
Examples: Minato Namikaze, Ōnoki, Tsunade Senju, Mei Terumī
✖ BASIC BIO RULES
► All bios must follow the rules detailed in the Special Bio Rules thread that shows allowed ability combinations.
► It is possible to have two (or three if Jounin-rank) bios approved at any one time.
► Once a bio has been approved, it cannot be edited by the member or dropped for one month.
► Canon Characters cannot have AN/HA/KG/AE that it did not use in the series.
► Must follow the basic bio template.
✖ BIO ABILITY & SPECIALTY OPTIONS
► Bio Abilities:
In the RP, a wide variety of abilities can be paired together but there are limitations.
► Obtaining Abilities / Canon Characters:
While some options are just dependent upon one's rank, other abilities are reliant on either Kumi, Battle Test/Ninja World progression or some combination of the three.
► Bio Specialties:
RPers can select from a list of specialties that will confer their bios with new or improved capabilities. Each bio can have up to 5 of these total across 5 different categories.
✖ BIO TEMPLATE
In order for a bio to be approved, it must include all the requisite sections as outlined in the bio template.
