NEW GAME+

[☆ F ☆]

Death within the world of Naruto is commonplace, as evident by the many examples the anime & manga provide, where kills are glorified and frequent. However, this is not to say Death is the norm. If anything, NRP's latest reiteration wants to shy way from 'Finish Him!' mentality and the senseless character death. Characters are important to each and every person that creates them, regardless of how involved they actually intend to be, or have been, with their personal story. Because of this, character death shall be handled on a condition basis here on NRP. In other words, rather than being constantly under the guise of Death-Enablement, you the player can now control this by RP'ing in areas that realistically safe for your faction affiliation.

Essentially, during Special Events, most of the action and progress of the forum and its story takes place. Think of earning ranks, relics, Kinjutsu, money, etc. Because of this, Events will automatically turn on the possibility of death for every participant. However, it isn't just a particular thread. Events tend to involve a whole nation, or at times, even multiple, and therefore turn death on over every country involved, until the Event's conclusion. Anything outside of this means your character cannot die unless you give permission for it to happen. On personal quests, feel free to battle, beat up, and kidnap each other, but unless the owner's character gives the green light for death, we won't allow it. This keeps everyone's personal stories uninterrupted, and gives the players fair warning as to what their getting into.

If your character dies, there is only one rule - you lose everything except your EXP. That can be used for stats and techniques when creating a new character.

The act of looting involves a player actively gaining items off of the body of another player's character, or even an NPC in possession of items and money. Looting can be very beneficial because of the things that can be found, whether one wishes to resell what they discover, or maybe even improve their own inventory. Regardless, there a few rules that must be followed when it comes to looting:

• When looting from another PC, one must be present within the thread of their demise prior to their death. That means that if Player A dies and then Player 'B' enters the thread, Player 'B' cannot collect that loot. However, if Player 'C' dies right after 'B' entered the thread, then 'B' can loot 'C' to his or her heart's content.
• Following the previous stipulation, one can loot any equipment (weapons, armor & accessories) found on the body, as well as their Ryo.
• In terms of Follower NPC's, one can either kill them off, keep them as their own, or sell them back to the shops in the form of slaves. Keep in mind these still fill up spaces, so if you have your Follower amount maxed out, then you'll be forced to either kill or sell the NPC's right away.
• When it comes to a player's Territories, those becomes open and fair game for conquest. A special thread will be held to determine the winner of the conquest and thus the new owner of the territory.

Ending a character and starting a new one can be achieved through several ways:

• Normal, unwanted character death. When creating a new character following these circumstances, one does not suffer any penalties other than item and Ryo loss, and can create a new profile with the full amount of EXP earned previously going towards the new build. Certain ranks and titles can be lost during death as well, such as Sannin and Kage.
• Scraps. Essentially character suicide, this takes place when one simply wishes to try a new concept, players often kill off their current versions. However, this can lead to many problems if performed too frequently. Therefore, characters will be allowed one (1) scrap for every 30 days. However, for every time a scrap follows a previou scrap, the player shall be taxed 10% of their overall EXP!
• Revamps. These are essentially are staff sanctioned character updates which require an individual to fix a portion of their profile to fit a new standard, usually related to a site update. Revamps don't necessarily change the character's core, but simply some mechanic, like jutsu, or a certain piece of equipment. There is no consequence for this, but keep in mind one cannot use this character in battle until the full revamp is carried out. If a revamp is called for while the player is already engage within a battle, then they may continue that battle.

While some people are comfortable with the idea of killing off a character in order to start a new concept, not everyone wants to see their creations killed off. It is possible to start new profiles/characters with accounts that have already gained Douriki for the sake of transferring their strength, but those that wish to see their characters live on have another option - enter retirement. By retiring a character, the user is essentially able to convert them into an NPC.

Below are a few rules for character retirement.

• Must have at least 3,000 EXP.
• A retired NPC cannot act as a Follower, nor can it be upgraded in the shops. However, they retain their last known talents, techniques, and, and can be used as story elements for Special Events.
• When retiring a character, one must pay a non-refundable Douriki tax, equivalent to 10% of the user's overall invested EXP.
• After retiring a character, one must wait 30 days before being able to retire another. Furthermore, one can use a retired character for a new character sheet in the future, but must also wait thirty days from its retirement before it can be re-used.
• When wishing to retire a character, simply contact a staff member and wait until he/she processes your tax and approve the retirement.
