The Forum of Augustus, finished in the year 2 BC, was built as a temple to honor the Roman deity Mars and to provide another space for legal proceedings. Augustus himself had promised to build the forum 40 years earlier during the battle of Philippi, but its construction did not begin until the year 20 BC.
The Forum Augustum was a grand structure and among other things it housed a rich tapestry of different statuary. 108 portrait statues filled the halls, each one of them carrying inscriptions of the individual’s achievements. Some scholars consider it the first Hall of Fame.
A Hall of Fame is defined as a type of attraction for any field of endeavor to honor individuals of noteworthy achievement in that field. At the time of writing it has been more than seven years since NarutoBase first saw the light of day and the site is still going strong. The role-play, in particular, has defied all odds and persevered, perhaps even flourished under the caring hands of an engaged Staff and an ever-changing motley crew of role-players, all of whom dedicate countless hours to the site, some in more visible ways than others.
The role-play was not built in a day. What began as a daring venture by a few young souls has bloomed into the role-play we know today. There have been bumps in the road and while everyone has pitched in there are and were some among us who stood out. Some were fierce and respected fighters, others leaders and administrators. All were respected for their deeds.
Those who still walk among us are often considered the crème de la crème, the top of the line, if not for their prowess in battle then for their dedication. It is these people, old as young, that we honor and remember in this, our own Hall of Fame. The Grand RP Hall of Fame:
NOTE: Some members used a standardized questionnaire to structure their responses. Thus, when a member uses numbers to mark their answers they are usually answering these questions:
1) What motivated him/her to excel in the RP?
2) What made him/her great? (which factors contributed the most towards their growth, etc)
3) Could you formulate a single sentence that describes this person? A kind of quote that embodies them and their ideals?
Scary Yamato, the Sage of Wood
Naruto is a series intended primarily for young adults and the members of NarutoBase reflect that. Many of the members joined when they were fairly young and while the passing years have allowed for a growing core of adult veterans to develop the majority of the members are still, well, children, and sometimes communication reflects that in a not entirely positive manner. Scary Yamato (SY) was one of the adults, in every sense of the world. There was always an aura of patience and wisdom about him. SY was always willing to lend a hand and in battle his mastery of Mokuton was unrivaled.
Here is what some members have said about Scary Yamato:
Izuna Uchiha, the Sage of Water
Izuna Uchiha was the Sage of Water for a reason. He chose his element with care and stuck to its use religiously throughout his role-play career, creating many custom techniques and elements related to the element over the years. Izuna possessed many extremely strong techniques at the apex of his power, many so strong that he wondered if the system that approved them was as refined as it could be. Indeed, Izuna helped create many of the rules and traditions that today help restrict extreme power differentials and foster a moderate Customs Section.
Here is what some members have said about Izuna Uchiha:
Goro Kaguya, the Sage of the Forbidden Arts
Goro role-played because it was fun. A master of Taijutsu and the Shikotsumyaku he always strived for a fun experience. Goro was a Sensei, a Moderator and a scary opponent. He treated all his opponents in the same, larger-than-life manner, always opting to engage in close combat. He was eccentric, sometimes borderline weird, but he was never the instigator of drama or rivalry, always taking great care to remain jovial and helpful. Many role-players owe at least a portion of the abilities they possess and their fighting prowess to Goro.
Here is what some members have said about Goro Kaguya:
The Pervy Sage
The Pervy Sage is s household name on NarutoBase. Everyone knows him, everyone has spoken with him. Some members of the older generations have had a slight tendency to associate with their own, but to Pervy every new member was a friend to be made. He was always confident in his abilities and through many years of toiling he acquired an impressive arsenal of abilities and techniques that allowed him to engage in the exciting, story-driven battles that he has invited so many to participate in. To Pervy there was merit to competition, to the sport of fighting, but he knew the important thing was to have fun.
Here is what some members have said about The Pervy Sage:
RokuNR, the Sage of Music
Roku and his creations were the standard to which everything else was held. He was the first official Sage, created the first Custom Clan and has arguably held the title as the most powerful battler on Narutobase for years. Roku was NB’s Librarian, the keeper of knowledge: his level of understanding about chakra, energy and the philosophy of his Kiyoshi Clan were awe-inspiring and where he went a horde of fans, followers and fellow Kiyoshi members followed without question. There was something otherworldly about Roku; many never spoke with him, but those that had the privilege of knowing him or reading his work never failed to be impressed.
Here is what some members have said about RokuNR:
Akiza, Sage of Sharingan
Akiza was, first and foremost, an engaged teacher and Sensei to whom many members owe their proficiency with the basic, core arsenal of the NarutoBase role-play. Akiza followed her friends and she followed the fun. She met a lot of people on the site and never said no to a talk, especially not with the many who she called her friends. To her NarutoBase was a playground and her easy-going, carefree attitude and lethal combat proficiency won her much respect with the other members. She mastered the Mangekyō Sharingan and lived up to her Sage title. She was truly one of the role-play’s more inspiring women.
Here is what some members (and herself) have said about Akiza:
Caliburn, the Sage of the Abyssal Sword
From Moderator to Global Moderator to Administrator Caliburn has been a part of the NarutoBase staff for as long as anyone can remember. Being part of the staff means that NarutoBase is more than a retreat or a refuge as it is for many; it is a job, and it takes guts to take it in stride as Caliburn has. We remember Caliburn for his frankness, for his straightforward way of dealing with everything NarutoBase and its members threw at him. On top of being a no-nonsense staff-member Caliburn is also quite the creative tinker; he has created several Custom Elements and techniques over the years that are the envy of many role-players.
Here is what some members have said about Caliburn:
Kaito-Sama, the Sage of the Mind, Body and Soul
Kaito-Sama, Zenryoku, Nirvāṇa. Kaito has had many names, but to the role-players on NarutoBase he will always be known as the man who created the intricate set of techniques known collectively as Narutobase Taijutsu. Kaito was a man who took Taijutsu extremely seriously. He studied the philosophies of different Martial Arts and always strove for absolute mastery, but even with all the time he invested in close combat Kaito still found time to be both a Sensei and a Moderator. Indeed, Kaito played an essential role in creating the Jutsu List as we know it among many other things.
Here is what some members have said about Kaito-Sama:
Toku
Throughout his many years of active membership Toku changed in a lot of ways, but there was one thing that never changed; he was Iwarian to the core. Most members will move to a new village, if not often, then at least a few times within their career, but Toku remained in Iwagakure and became something of a symbol to the villagers. Toku was competent, approachable and very laid-back, traits that allowed him to nip potential arguments and drama in the bud and serve as the Sandaime Tsuchikage of Iwagakure for a long time.
Here is what some members have said about Toku:
Typhon
Typhon was never interested in building a reputation. In fact, until he was hired to be a part of the role-play Moderator team Typhon seemed contend to train the next generation of role-players and be one of the longest-serving Hokages in the history of the site. Typhon never had the huge arsenal like others of his generation, but he compensated well with a mixture of skill, craftiness and patience. Still, Typhon was not without his tricks and the Kenjutsu techniques he created were considered an honor to learn, especially among Samurais.
Here is what some members have said about Typhon:
Rei
Though she did many great things as an Administrator, Rei is most vividly remembered in the role-play by the set of rules and restrictions (Rei’s R&R) that she created when the system was undergoing a rapid evolution. Rei was a dangerous opponent when she participated actively in the role-play, commanding a butterfly summoning and a chocolate element, but it is for her work as an Administrator and her iconic relationship with fellow Administrator Zise that she is remembered on the site at large.
Here is what some members have said about Rei:
Nexus
Nexus ruled the role-play with an iron fist, steering it through hard times from 2009 to 2014. He never sugarcoated anything, never hid his dislike of something or someone. Nexus was straightforward, and he possessed the single most destructive custom element ever created on NarutoBase, an element so powerful that users were required to be Administrators.
Here is what some members have said about Nexus:
Lili-Chwan, the Sage of Deceit
To some a terror, to others an inspiration. Liliana was many things; a brilliant role-player, Genjutsu mistress and technique creator among them, but first and foremost Liliana was a schemer. To her the ninja world was a playground with unlimited opportunities to plan and execute complex plots with vague success criteria and long-term rewards. Whether you participated or spectated, Liliana’s campaigns always left everyone wanting more. She was truly a one-of-a-kind, a role-player that attracted equal parts controversy, dislike and respect, and to those she called friends she was a conversationalist with a lot of heart and an open mind.
Here is what some members have said about Lili-Chwan:
Kagutsuchi, the Sage of Fire
Kagutsuchi loved fire more than anything else on NarutoBase and his fighting style reflected it. Like many of his peers Kagutsuchi had picked up an impressive array of techniques over the course of his time on the site, but unlike some Kagutsuchi was never hesitant to make use of these techniques. He overwhelmed his opponents with power the likes of which few of them had ever witnessed. Besides being an impressive fighter Kagutsuchi was a Sensei and a sporadic, but inspiring presence to NarutoBase’s newer generations of role-players.
Here is what some members have said about Kagutsuchi:
Mugiwara, the Sage of Diamond Bones
Mugiwara ruled Kumogakure for years while serving as a Moderator on the site. Like many of his generation he became extremely powerful, having unlocked the Eight Gates, the Sound element and a horde of versatile techniques for the Shikotsumyaku, the Kekkei Genkai that inspired his Sage title. Where Mugiwara went, destruction usually followed and Kumogakure was rarely bested on his watch. With his arsenal of abilities, powerful custom elements and long-standing possession of the Lightning Spear Mugiwara was a very effective deterrent against invasions by foreign villages.
Here is what some members have said about Mugiwara:
Gobi Gobletsson, the Sage of Strength and Endurance
From his humble beginning in 2010 Gobi rose to become one of the most powerful and technical fighters of his generation. If a skill was obtainable; Gobi had it, and he possessed a plethora of custom techniques and elements to boot. Gobi was good at many things, including making friends. As Amekage and Leader of Akatsuki he never had to command, but simply led by example and by the strength of his personality. As a Sensei Gobi trained many members and even took a few personal students, and as a fighter he dominated the battlefield, but it is as a friend that Gobi really shone.
Here is what some members have said about Gobi Gobletsson:
Alucard
When Alucard ruled Kirigakure the village was considered the strongest in the ninja world and with good reason. Not only was the village home to many strong members, but Alucard himself was a force to be reckoned with. Through a combination of Fūinjutsu, Kinjutsu and miscellaneous fields Alucard won many battles. He was truly a jack-of-all-trades, assuming the role of Samurai, Kaguya, Dark Release user and others with gusto, and was made a Moderator in recognition of that fact.
Here is what some members have said about Alucard:
Xylon, the Sage of Tactics
Xylon was the original Minato Namikaze and stayed with the biography for the duration of his time on NB. That is not to say that Xylon stuck to Minato’s skillset, for like most the members from his generation Xylon amassed a rich variety of custom techniques and elements that saw him rise to near legendary status, and that was before he was made a Moderator. As a role-player Xylon was a well-rounded individual who seemed at peace with his lot, though he remained somewhat unapproachable due to his status.
Here is what some members have said about Xylon:
Crutch Kaguya
More than anyone else on the list Crutch was defined by his unshakable confidence and his straightforward nature. Throughout his stay on NarutoBase Crutch meticulously unlocked and created techniques, abilities and elements, a practice that saw him become one of the most technically adept fighters on the site. As a fighter Crutch was meticulous and deadly, but it was in his work as a Sensei that his capacity for helping others and passing knowledge on truly came to light. Crutch’s approach to training was reminiscent of his approach to battle; meticulous, and it was this quality more than anything else that allowed him to rise to the rank of Head Sensei.
Here is what some members have said about Crutch Kaguya:
Emperor, the Sage of Plants, Penguins and other Weird Stuff
Emperor was known as the original Zetsu, a fearsome member of the Kaguya Clan and the first member to truly master Genjutsu. As both a Sensei and a Moderator he did many good things for the site, but it is for his fearsome reputation as a fighter and the fact that he mentored Lili-Chwan that he is remembered. As a fighter Emperor commanded lethal custom elements and a massive arsenal of effective custom techniques, particularly lethal illusions.
Here is what some members have said about Emperor:
Jinbei
Unlike most other members Jinbei was rarely interested in custom techniques. To Jinbei the fun was in the challenge, in the fight itself, and with his considerable skill and deft usage of the wide variety of canon techniques he quickly became a respected fighter on the site. Most who knew Jinbei, however, would agree that Jinbei was known and respected more for his helpful and easygoing demeanor. Jinbei was kind and his kindness was one of the virtues that allowed him to be an extraordinary Sensei and, for a brief time, a dedicated Moderator.
Here is what some members have said about Jinbei:
BishamonSama, the Sage of Earth
BishamonSama was the undisputed king of the earth element and an all-around iconic role-player. He controlled the monkey contract and, more famously, created and owned the custom element ‘lava.’ Bishamon trained many of the members who later reached the top themselves, a feat which, combined with his prowess in battle, has earned him a near legendary status on NarutoBase.
Here is what some members have said about BishamonSama:
Mathias, the Sage of Archery
Marhias joined in the autumn of 2011 and rose through the ranks very quickly. Before most of his peers had finished their basics Mathias had become a Sensei, then a Kage and finally a Moderator, leading some to ask the question: who was he? As a fighter Mathias was deadly with bow and arrow, an art to which he dedicated a custom fighting style. As a man Mathias possessed a keen intellect and a sharp wit that made him a skilled conversationalist. Mathias seemed to genuinely enjoy both training and getting to know other members. Perhaps it was this ability to connect so easily with others that allowed him to propel through the ranks.
Here is what some members have said about Mathias:
Lord of Kaos, the Sage of Wuji
Lord of Kaos had been an almost constant presence on NarutoBase ever since he joined the site back when it was in its infancy. The years were kind to Kaos, who enjoyed a level of raw power that very few could compare with. He was a Moderator, the Leader of Akatsuki and well respected for the changes he made to the ninja world and the role-playing culture on the site in general. Kaos had the elements, the techniques and the skill necessary to dominate, but more importantly he had a network of friends and acquaintances more than happy to discuss everything between Heaven and Earth, and suggest new features.
Here is what some members have said about Lord of Kaos:
Adachi
Very few Senseis of NarutoBase could honestly claim to have trained as many members as they could. Adachi, however, was an exception. Hundreds of members were put through his detailed training sessions that helped facilitate their growth as role-players. The sheer effort Adachi invested in training others and the speed with which he finished session after session was almost inhuman. Adachi himself was approachable, though very thoughtful, and his promotion to Moderator was well deserved. As a fighter he focused on mastering canon techniques and the Wood Element.
Here is what some members have said about Adachi:
Kirabi
Kirabi was the jinchūriki of the Eight-Tailed Giant Ox and, by extension, the holder of the unique Killer B biography. A master of the lightning element Kirabi was an active and dedicated member of Kumogakure for years. Kirabi’s path was full of twists and turns, but it always revolved around obtaining and keeping the Killer Bee biography. He displayed great willpower and patience when he took the biography test multiple times in a row, failing several times before he finally passed. Unlike many of his peers Kirabi never deviated from his path, and that level of dedication can only be described as extremely impressive.
Here is what some members have said about Kirabi:
-Naruto Uzumaki
-Naruto Uzumaki- picked a username that fit perfectly. As the first and only holder of the unique Naruto Uzumaki biography he was an extremely talented fighter with a particular flair for the wind element and Senjutsu techniques.
Here is what some members have said about -Naruto Uzumaki-:

Teaching me fire then earth as I wanted to train just like Jiraiya. Later she even did my wind training. She had like 30 students at the time but she was always friendly to them, I'm surprised she kept up with half of the training, but daily she managed to. She was so skilled with her Sharingan, creative with her custom weapon and her cloud style was so unique. She also was well known for rain jutsu. I think she was one of the best of her time and I'm sad she's not still active.

He probably also is the person that lasted the longest in the Akatsuki. Official Sage, Senior Sensei, Abyss, EIG, Jinchuuriki, Akatsuki Leader, a custom clan... Did I miss anything? Besides Gobi's known RP skills, Gobi also is a pretty nice guy once you know him. He sometimes is hard to understand, and if you do, then you should befriend him. He joined the base a year or two after me but he turned out to be my mentor in maybe less than a year. I will always remain Gobi's number one Senpai and student.

That is not to say that Xylon stuck to Minato’s skillset, for like most the members from his generation Xylon amassed a rich variety of custom techniques and elements that saw him rise to near legendary status, and that was before he was made a Moderator. As a role-player Xylon was a well-rounded individual who seemed at peace with his lot, though he remained somewhat unapproachable due to his status.

Crutch Kaguya
More than anyone else on the list Crutch was defined by his unshakable confidence and his straightforward nature. Throughout his stay on NarutoBase Crutch meticulously unlocked and created techniques, abilities and elements, a practice that saw him become one of the most technically adept fighters on the site. As a fighter Crutch was meticulous and deadly, but it was in his work as a Sensei that his capacity for helping others and passing knowledge on truly came to light. Crutch’s approach to training was reminiscent of his approach to battle; meticulous, and it was this quality more than anything else that allowed him to rise to the rank of Head Sensei.

Emperor, the Sage of Plants, Penguins and other Weird Stuff
Emperor was known as the original Zetsu, a fearsome member of the Kaguya Clan and the first member to truly master Genjutsu. As both a Sensei and a Moderator he did many good things for the site, but it is for his fearsome reputation as a fighter and the fact that he mentored Lili-Chwan that he is remembered. As a fighter Emperor commanded lethal custom elements and a massive arsenal of effective custom techniques, particularly lethal illusions.

Jinbei
Unlike most other members Jinbei was rarely interested in custom techniques. To Jinbei the fun was in the challenge, in the fight itself, and with his considerable skill and deft usage of the wide variety of canon techniques he quickly became a respected fighter on the site. Most who knew Jinbei, however, would agree that Jinbei was known and respected more for his helpful and easygoing demeanor. Jinbei was kind and his kindness was one of the virtues that allowed him to be an extraordinary Sensei and, for a brief time, a dedicated Moderator.

BishamonSama, the Sage of Earth
BishamonSama was the undisputed king of the earth element and an all-around iconic role-player. He controlled the monkey contract and, more famously, created and owned the custom element ‘lava.’ Bishamon trained many of the members who later reached the top themselves, a feat which, combined with his prowess in battle, has earned him a near legendary status on NarutoBase.

Mathias, the Sage of Archery
Marhias joined in the autumn of 2011 and rose through the ranks very quickly. Before most of his peers had finished their basics Mathias had become a Sensei, then a Kage and finally a Moderator, leading some to ask the question: who was he? As a fighter Mathias was deadly with bow and arrow, an art to which he dedicated a custom fighting style. As a man Mathias possessed a keen intellect and a sharp wit that made him a skilled conversationalist. Mathias seemed to genuinely enjoy both training and getting to know other members. Perhaps it was this ability to connect so easily with others that allowed him to propel through the ranks.

Lord of Kaos, the Sage of Wuji
Lord of Kaos had been an almost constant presence on NarutoBase ever since he joined the site back when it was in its infancy. The years were kind to Kaos, who enjoyed a level of raw power that very few could compare with. He was a Moderator, the Leader of Akatsuki and well respected for the changes he made to the ninja world and the role-playing culture on the site in general. Kaos had the elements, the techniques and the skill necessary to dominate, but more importantly he had a network of friends and acquaintances more than happy to discuss everything between Heaven and Earth, and suggest new features.

Adachi
Very few Senseis of NarutoBase could honestly claim to have trained as many members as they could. Adachi, however, was an exception. Hundreds of members were put through his detailed training sessions that helped facilitate their growth as role-players. The sheer effort Adachi invested in training others and the speed with which he finished session after session was almost inhuman. Adachi himself was approachable, though very thoughtful, and his promotion to Moderator was well deserved. As a fighter he focused on mastering canon techniques and the Wood Element.

Kirabi
Kirabi was the jinchūriki of the Eight-Tailed Giant Ox and, by extension, the holder of the unique Killer B biography. A master of the lightning element Kirabi was an active and dedicated member of Kumogakure for years. Kirabi’s path was full of twists and turns, but it always revolved around obtaining and keeping the Killer Bee biography. He displayed great willpower and patience when he took the biography test multiple times in a row, failing several times before he finally passed. Unlike many of his peers Kirabi never deviated from his path, and that level of dedication can only be described as extremely impressive.

-Naruto Uzumaki
-Naruto Uzumaki- picked a username that fit perfectly. As the first and only holder of the unique Naruto Uzumaki biography he was an extremely talented fighter with a particular flair for the wind element and Senjutsu techniques.
