The time of war was ended and an era of peace ushered in. The great villages are now allied rather than at odds. The old legends have for the most part retired from the field into a well-earned domestic life. It is a time for new legends to begin, because though the great ninja wars of the past are no longer a danger it doesn't mean everything is peaceful.
There will always be conflict. But it is now the current generation's turn to meet it and forge their own path in this new world.
Hey everyone! As the title says, this is a Naruto rp. It is set in a slightly alternate current era, the only real difference being the lack of any global-type threat such as the Otsutsuki or Kara and I'm aiming for possibly a fairly realistic interpretation of the world. Capture for a ninja likely meaning torture and death, kunoichi may be asked to take drastic measures with unsavory targets, your kage could task you with something you disagree with but are still held responsible to do, if you run into the wrong S.O.B that can backhand your sensei into the Pure Land your life is probably forfeit, that sort of thing. Now hopefully nothing too tragic befalls our characters(I mean unless you're determined for it to, then by all means this is a collective effort so we can go that direction) but that should be the sort of world kept in mind.
Planning to start with a Chunin Exams arc at first in Konoha just so everyone can get initial development of characters personalities/abilities/goals/issues and the like. Teams will be of a mixed format regardless of village, both as a bonding thing by the Kages and so everyone can get to interact with others even if everyone is from somewhere different. This will of course be according to how many people we get and will fill any gaps as necessary. After the initial arc we can go into a time skip to later teen years or go for some more adventures in the younger years, whichever is preferred.
My hope for this is to be a long term rp to really build our characters in a world as rich/expansive as the Naruto one is so any ideas and suggestions that help with that are welcomed.
Applications: Notes on apps. Keep in mind character ages since it starts at Chunin Exams, which would be early teens(younger for prodigy types is okay). It is fine to make older/higher ranked characters as well but they would mostly be in mentor roles or similar things with younger ones being the main cast. Now with balancing jutsu/abilities I know a few big things are popular(Sharingan, Rinnegan, Wood Style, Sage Mode, etc.) and I'm not saying a character can't have that but it isn't something to have at the start. They can acquire and earn it as the story goes, maybe it's a goal for them, maybe something happens that forces it on them, in any case things like that should be character milestones. And I would hope not everyone wants the same thing so we don't end up with five different people that are Jinchuuriki with Rinnegan and Sage Mode. If you do plan for a big power-up like that please say so in the app and I'll keep it on a first come first serve basis. For regular jutsu I'm sure you know what is appropriate. A thirteen year old Genin won't be spitting out majestic destroyer flames, but you could start out with phoenix flower, fireball jutsu, etc. and work up.
Thanks for taking the time to read all that and I look forward to everyone's participation!

Background:(Can be as long or short as you like. Just some overview stuff such as personal goals, struggles, life in their home village, and such things are fine.)
Abilities: (This covers their particular fighting style. What are they strong at? Do they have some primary weapon or preferred jutsu? Maybe they're a pure taijutsu type that barely even uses kunai? This would also be the place to claim any big power ups that are wanted.)
