Well, I don't see why not. Be sure to ask me about anything you don't understand.
Battling:
Before any battle begins there are a number of things to get out of the way first that set the stage.
- Battle Type: Offical or Unofficial (I'll touch on this more below this list)
- Terrain: You and your opponent(s) must decide on a terrain which you will battle on and the weather. (Though both the terrain and weather can change through the use of a jutsu).
- Range: This is how far apart from each other you begin. Short (0 to 5 meters), med-range(5 to 15 meters), or long-range (15+ meters).
- Bio: Post a link to the biography you'll be using for the battle
- Time Limit: How long each person has to respond after a technique has been posted
Here's an example of what the first post in a battle thread should look like:
✦ Official Battle
✦ Three day reply limit
✦ Mid Range (10 Meters)
✦ Terrain: Witchwood Arena
✦ Kōtetsu Inuzuka
Below this, you can post any passive techniques you have on your biography (if you don't know what that is I'll let your know later) and even RP a bit to make the fight more authentic. After this post is made, your opponent would respond with their biography link and RP a bit if they choose.
Battle Types - Official/Unofficial
All battles held in the Battle Arena or Ninja World count as official fights. This means that if you lose, your bio can be used as a Human Puppet by a Sasori bio, having your heart ripped out by a Kakuzu bio, be used for Edo Tensei, etc. Only when it was clearly agreed at the start it was just an unofficial spar, it doesn't count as an official battle.
Any fight in the Ninja World can only be official. Unofficial Battles are strictly for the battle arena and are fights that allow you more leeway to make mistakes. In these kinds of battles, you can test out risky moves and try to get a feel for an ability you just learned.
Element & Jutsu Usage
Regardless of the battle type, you can choose which and how many elements you want to use in a battle (from the ones you learned), but also whether custom jutsu's/elements are allowed or not. If no restrictions are given, then it's automatically declared "All Out", meaning that both you and your opponent can use everything you know. Some restrictions that can be placed are:
- Taijutsu Only
- Canon Only
- Jutsu Rank Restrictions (B ranks and below only, etc)
Naturally, these restrictions can't be set in during battle in the Ninja World, as any fight that takes place there is "All Out" by default. Also, if you don't state that a battle is unofficial or official, then it becomes official by default, so you have to clearly state that a battle is unofficial either in the title or your first post before the battle actually begins.
Last note for these rules is the time-limit. You can decide how long both you and your opponent have to reply to each other's moves. The default time-limit for official battles is 3 days. For it to be longer or shorter than this, then you and your opponent must agree on it. In the case that a time limit isn't mentioned by either of you, then it becomes 3 days by default.
When the time limit is passed, this means that whoever failed to post is hit by an incoming technique. For example. If you and I were fighting and I fired a fireball at you that deals 60 damage and you fail to post a response in three days, then the move goes through and you get hit with the attack. It then becomes my turn to attack once again if you still have health points left.
Any questions so far?
