So yeah, new to the Base but no exactly forum based RPing. I was just wondering how to quickly become an active RPer on NB? Suggestions and tips are much appreciated. Especially if I can get into a group quickly.

Become a genin, make a bio, get it accepted, get a sensei, train, become stronger, make friends, join a villsgr, and have fun. That's as simple as it gets:D

Become a genin post count wise? Not really sure what you mean by get a sensei and what not. If you aren't referring to becoming a genin post count wise, what would the process of becoming a genin be?

Suggestion: Make a ninja academy for new NB RPers or at least a sticky describing all the basics and advanced requirements and functionalities of NB oriented RP.

Well, most people wouldn't really be interested in fighting me. My idea of throwing a punch would be like reading the Lord of The Rings, twice. Okay, so I exaggerate slightly, but whatever.

If a fight were to occur, would there be post length, description requirements to successfully hit/evade. How is godmoding prevented? I really don't feel like having some random kid magically ameterasu KO me in five words (all spelled wrong).

If fighting is that dilapidated, I probably wouldn't fight at all. Couldn't I also make a non-combative character? I wouldn't mind opening my own ramen shop either. Especially if I make a portable ramen shop that I can drag into the middle of a battle and start selling ramen to fighting ninja. :D

There's no actual post length/description minimum, but in this RP system, being less descriptive hurts you more than helps you. Godmodding is prevented by a series of tests or requirements for what one would refer to as the "crazy abilities." For example, a written and battle test is required for Pein tests. A random person "magically killing you" can't really happen because of that (and as far as older members go, well we're still working on that to refine everything) but for the most part, everything is avoidable.

Non-combative character? I'm pretty sure that you can't. I mean, the subjects never really been brought up before to be honest. .-. And dragging stuff into the middle of a battle isn't really a good idea just to let you know. o.o Spamming in battles is generally looked down upon.

But as Gaara said, reading the rules would be the first place to start.

Thank you Gaara of Konoha for the insight. I did a bit of skimming for such info myself (though no very thoroughly). Anyway, basically if anybody force hits, unless approved by myself will be disregarded. If a Mod or anybody approves force hits, I'll pretty much quit. Just a forewarning.

Anyway, thanks for all the info. As soon as I hit fifty posts I'll try and get started. Though, do you have to have fifty posts to RP in "Konoha Town" which I now understand to be the location for non battle oriented roleplay?

I'm having the feeling my first Bio will not be approved. As for Jutsu, seeing as I haven't had any training by a sensei yet, I 'spose I should leave that blank at this point? Or wasn't there a list of basic jutsus somewhere? Grrr, I can't remember.

Thanks Gaara of Konoha and everybody who's been holding my hand.

Edit: What would be some good examples of "Specialties" though. I understand the basics, but would it be wrong to include something like "negotiation" or "conversation?" And if I were to include something like this, would a description most likely be applicable?

Okay, I get it. Though, in terms of "negotiation" it would be rather impressive if he could convince an overwhelmed foe to simply surrender and end a battle like that. Just saying. Sometimes the Pen is mightier than the sword and all that corniness.

Edit: Would it be okay to list future specialties for skills he cannot use yet? For example, if I wanted my character to be a future genjutsu user when rank allows?

when you have to update your character you just have too make a new thread of your character and add the jutsus/speciality etc to your bio...cuz once your bio is approved it cant be edited also i dont think you can add that you are a specialist in jutsus etc untill you have learnt them..and have a fair amount of experience in rp battle.
