Character and Role Play Rules
1. No Godmodding - This is one of the most important rules. Your character is not an indestructible being. Your character will get hit, they will get hurt, and you can not always hit your target. If you feel someone is being unfair in their RP fight, please message a staff member with a link to the thread and they will look into it. You will be given two warnings. On your third offense you will be banned from the site.
2. Japanese - We are an English text based role play board. It is alright to use Japanese when your character is saying a technique, but please put the English translation next to it.
3. Proper English - No 1337, especially in the role play area. We will be more lax about this rule in the out of character boards, but try not to do it as much.
4. Descriptive - Use as many words as you can to describe what is going on around you. When writing, everything seems fine to you when you type it out on the screen since you are the one who wrote it. Your mind automatically fills in the blanks that are not written down and it will sometimes leave the other person confused.
5. Posting Order - Take turns while posting. If there are more than two characters in a thread, make an order on who goes when. If the odds are two to one on a fight, it's best to let the ninja by himself post after every post the other two ninja against him make. That way he has time to react to everything.
6. Canon Clans - If the clan you wish to create a character for has not been seen to have more people in the clan in canon, please refrain from creating one without staff approval. This also means that clans related to, facsimilied, or a knock off version of a canon clan or their bloodline abilities will not be accepted. Examples of these clans are Uchiha, Uzumaki, Senju, Kaguya etc.
7. Threads - Even if a thread says open, you should always ask the creator of the thread if it is okay to join. Don't just randomly jump in threads without permission.
8. Characters - Only one character per account. If you want to make another character, make a new account for them.
9. Third Person Perspective - Naruto: Generations is a third person perspective role play board. Meaning, when you are role playing, you are not looking at the world through your characters eyes. You are from a narrative point of view.
10. Canon Characters - Canon characters can be revoked at any given notice. If you are role-playing acanon character and have not signed on in more than a week, your character might get taken from you. Similarly, if you are applying for a canon character, and do not log on or substantially edit the application after one week, your 'reserve' might be forfeit. In other words, if you are going to be absent for a long period of time (over a week), please say so in the Arrival/Absence/Departure board.
In addition, if you want to have more than one canon character, you MUST have at least 25 posts with your current cannon character. As well, one can only have a maximum of TWO Canon Characters.
11. Reserving Canons - A reservation can only be kept on a canon character for a week. If there is no progress in creating the registration for the character, your reservation will be revoked.
12. Kage Postions - Currently, we do not allow PC Kages. All Kages will be NPC and plot devices portrayed by the Storyteller.
