When signing up, please create a seperate thread titled *Character Name*. In it contain all this below info. It can be in story format, or in formal sign up format. I don't really care. Just so long as the info gets across.
Name: Should be Japanese. Either a Japanese word, a Japanese name, or something that sounds remotely Japanese. Include nicknames (which can be just words, or shortenings of names, or such), if any, and aliases, also what the character tells people, if it differs from his/her real name.
Sex: Male? Female? Transgender? Hermaphroditic? Please note that characters are restricted to humans, with human capacity for sex mutation. I don't want to see characters with three thingyes.
Gender: The gender the character identifies with. This is largely part of their thought process. Which bathroom do they step into? What kind of clothes do they like? Do they use make up, or not? Which sex's beauty standards does the character live up to?
Physical Description: I want everything. Height, weight, colors of complexion, eyes, hair, general outfit, build, anything from a crooked finger to a mauled limb.
Mental Description: How your character acts based on mind process. Is he/she loyal? Sly? A captor of the moment? Also include their likes/dislikes, dreams, goals, anything from 'He enjoys bathing alone' to 'She never leaves an enemy alive, when killing them is within her power'.
Land: Tora, Tori, Ryu, or Kame. Depending on which one you choose you will know of different plans, work for a different lord, etc. This value may change during the course of the RPG, but you can't start out a ronin so choose your land.
History: Give me the basic story of their life, plus big events. Add joining their country's military at some point, in some form or another.
Basic Skills: Choose from the list in the Documentation. Make it convincing. If you have a skill, have in your history how and why you learned it. Work it into who you are. I have a temporary (and tentative) cap on 7 skills at the moment. Note that just because you choose a musical talent doesn't mean you have to have that instrument (you just won't be able to use the abilities without the instrument). Also you may learn skills throughout the game; this isn't your first and last skill set.
Advanced Skills: Genjutsu, Leadership, and Shinjutsu. If your character has any of these without the proper basic skills/equipment (flute, drums, Kage Shuriken, Stealth Combat, etc.) you better give me a d**n good reason why and accept the fact that I will nerf their effects.
Equipment: Choose from the equipment list. You may start with only one weapon (onhand). Offhand weapons and additional weapons may be purchased at shops throughout the game. (Quivers start with 10 arrows, using senbon means you start with 4 needles). Means to make your onhand weapon offhand are started with (a sheath, scabbard, strap, belt, etc.) Note weapon Skill Req.'s.
Gear: What you wear for armor, and clothing, upon starting. The type of armor you choose will help me in deciding your class. Please make your armor decently reasonable. If you have rare ornate platemail or golden chain, or some other such ridiculously valuable/good armor, make sure it's explained in your history and don't hate me if some thief steals it from beside your bedroll at night.
Inventory: Flint+Tinder, bedroll, 2 days' rations (1 day if you wish, just RP that you discard a day's worth), 2 crude torches. 2 rolls of bandages. 1 yard of wire. 1 change of clothes (of your choice) in your pack. No other starting equipment unless your character fits a certain classification in my eyes and therefore merits 'class specific' equipment which I would specify upon giving it. Also depending on your opening mission you may gain certain items such as Recorders or Scrolls of Info.
