Hi. I just joined and am working on my character application. Now while most of the template is pretty understandable I do I have a few questions regarding character creation. First, when it comes to the face claim are their any restrictions (some places are 'anything so long as it's human looking no matter the source type' and some are 'photo of real {famous} person only')? Second, is there a thread/board I can go that gives a rundown of the various villages so that I have an idea about which village is best for my character (as opposed as plugging them all in to a random generator and picking that way)? Third, is this game set in a separate AU that's never heard of Naruto et. all or is it set in the far distant future of the Naruto universe we know and love?

1) Your face claim can be anything, so long as it isn't from the canon Naruto series/manga.
2) There is currently not a thread that presents the villages in that fashion. However, when some of our staff come back, we can put something like that together.
3) This is "Naruto" of course, but it is non-canon, so it isn't set in the future or past when compared to the canon series/manga.

Hope this helps some.

If you have any other questions, please post them in this topic. ^_^

After creating your character do you start with any experience, or is that only gained through missions, etc ?

Please look into the Shinobi Guide, as well as the Experience guide. Each rank stars with ascertain amount of EXP
