Greetings! Welcome to Ninpocho Chronicles
Around five-hundred children ranging from the ages of eight to thirteen enroll every year in the Shinobi Academy of Kumogakure. Among those five-hundred, about half fail from the strict curriculum, half of that half end up severely crippled, and every year, at least twenty-five students die. The exact details of the shinobi academy student curriculum are a closely-guarded secret. What is known is that children undergo intensive training in all forms of warfare and are expected to master everything from hand-to-hand brawling to field command of entire armies. The combination of these approaches makes academy students who survive their trials highly versatile and dangerous opponents against all adversaries they may encounter. This is done to uphold a certain reputation the Cloud Shinobi have, now able to fully weed out the weak from the truly gifted in order to continue pushing the ideals of the recently elected government and keep a strict order to their country.
-Excerpt from Kumogakure no Sato: Laws, Rules, Systems, Story
***Dramatisation. Don't worry, we wont actually kill your character in the Academy!

Thank you for considering Kumogakure no Sato,
- or as it is more often called Cloud, as a potential starting village for your roleplaying adventures on Ninpocho. Cloud strives to provide an interactive world for all of its players, a friendly community, and a responsive Council in order to create the optimal roleplaying experience. All types and manners of characters are allowed in Cloud and all of these characters will have their niche in our community. However, before you start roleplaying your character's first days of life, there are a few technical details to run through, the first being your application.
-By the way, I am the Cloud Seer, a shadowy figure with a finger on the pulse of the village, and it's a pleasure to meet you. Posts created by me are often important.-

1. You will need to apply for a new character. Make sure to read the post detailing the geographic, political, and social context of Cloud Village and Lightning Country. It includes information about the Shinobi ranks, goals, and a general description of life within the village. Also, if you have not yet, take the time to read the details on the clans of Kumogakure if you wish to join one. These details will help you towards creating the outline for your new character. Remember that this is a forum RP game inspired by but not copied from the Naruto series by Kishimoto-sensei. If you haven't watched/read the series we highly recommend doing so, but it isn't a requirement.
Application said:
2. After you have drawn up an initial application, post it as a new topic in this forum: Cloud Character Creation
One of our councilors will get to it within 48 hours at most and comment on whether it has been approved or whether there are additional things that need to be tweaked. If no one has gotten to your application, PLEASE bump it or send council a PM!
3. This is a site with a battle system! You will get base starting stats(regardless of the rank you choose) when your application is approved. While you wait, why not read the site rules, pick through the New Character Guide and the begin to familiarize yourself with the Battle Rules.
-I know this is a lot of information to absorb. You'll pick a lot of it up as you go.
4. After you have been added to the Cloud usergroup, you should be able to see all of Cloud’s sub forums on this site. The other villages’ discussion forums and profile areas will remain hidden to you, but you can see their inner and outer zones. Your first steps now should be to:
Request your academy student banner here: **Banner Request**(Link your approved character creation)
Put up a profile thread here: **Profiles** (There are guidelines in that forum)
5. Now to start socializing! The first place to go is the Village Discussion subforum: Village Discussion
There may be a ton of things to read and it may seem overwhelming, but fear not! The first thing to do is say “hi” to everyone, by posting in this thread: Hello/Goodbye: A Thread That way, people know you are new and looking to roleplay.
One of the first things most people want to do as students is start taking shinobi classes at the academy. Post in this thread to request a class: Class Interest Check
6. Now you can start roleplaying, feel free to start a thread in any of the Inner-Village areas of cloud or join a free/newly posted topic. Pay attention to the tags next to the topic name, as they will let you know if the other player(s) involved would like company.
Remember not to necro-post in a topic. This is against the site rules, and could get you a stern talking to, or a warning.
It's usually considered rude to join a topic that is marked as [Private] without obtaining permission from the other people in the thread. You can do this by “PM’ing” them. While there isn't a rule explicitly preventing you from joining a private topic, it is usually frowned upon.
Once you are in a thread, remember to have fun, and that there is a 50-word minimum in our village for posts. If you have any questions, please ask the council.
7. Once you have begun roleplaying please read about and create a training thread here: Training Forum Weekly training is the way your character gains stats in order to strengthen up. You must roleplay in order to train.
Above all, have fun!
