Custom Village Registration

[TriangleMan]

The time to establish and create major shinobi villages has come, and only those who are both strong enough and have the will power and leadership skills to do so are capable of such a feat. If you would like to have your own village, and think you can handle it, then post here. The villages are limited in number for right now, so first come first serve, so long as you seem a proper candidate. Remember, villages are JUST being made for the first time in this timeline, so if you are becoming a village leader, you are the one who establishes the village originally. You pick the name of the village, the country it is in (only one per country. Check here to decide which country you want it to be in.), and give us information on it. Countries will not have Daimyo's unless you wish yours too as an efficient means to balance power and political status. If so, state it so we know.

Finally, if you wish to be a leader, sign up here BEFORE you make your character, seeing as you will have to include the information of how you got it started in your profile, your rank/title, etc. etc.

Village Name: [Simple. The name of your village. Both Japanese and the English translation. Include kanji if possible.]

Village Leader: [character's full name]

Village Leader's Title: [ex. -sama, "Hokage", "Hanzō of the Salamander"]

Geographic Location: Using the current map of the Naruto world, point out where your village would be. When all registrations are done we'll have an updated world map.

Geographical/Appearance Description: [The appearance and geographical description of your country and your village. Also be sure to include things like a special entrance to the village (Suna's wall, for example) or things of the sort.]

Heirarchy: [Explain how the ranking system works in your village and how the balance of power is attuned. Does one group hold more control over the village's actions than others? Also include how your village's military/surveillance system works. How does one get put into these places of power? Is it through democratic vote, vote by council or some other means?]

Politics: [What kind of stance does your nation take on certain issues such as War, Trade and Poverty? Is your nation violent or peaceful? Will your nation take to arms in situations where allied countries are put at risk?]

Additional Information: [Any other additional information you would like to add. No limits. If you think it's important and that anyone who wants to join your village would need to know, then list it here.]

Remember - If any detail isn't listed when you reply to this thread and you get the village, then that doesn't exist. If you forget to mention that there is a wall around your village... There is no wall around your village, and you'll have to construct it over time IC.

In addition, those who found their own village first will automatically be granted the rank of Advanced Jounin, earning them 40 extra affinity points.

[Kazankage Masaka]

Character Name: Masaka Zange
Ruler Title: Kazankage

Village Name: Fuzengakure no Sato
country Name: Jishin no Kuni

Political Type: Patient with foreign affairs. Commanding of his military. Generous to his citizens when he can be.

Geographical Description: Jishin no Kuni, Earthquake Country is a land with a vacant past. Few people dared to call it home as the only welcome waiting for them were terrible, strong earthquakes. All of this tectonic activity caused the land to push together and rupture everywhere.

Now, after years afflicted by violent nature, the land has come to a calm. The past has left Jishin a hardened place, filled with jagged mountains of varying height. The seismic activities of the past stay with the memory thanks to the near constant tremors that lightly rumble from horizon to horizon. The past quakes also have cause volcanic activity, scattering several volcanoes around the land; more abundant though, are geysers and hot springs, perhaps the only places where wild life and vegetation can be found. The country is split in two by a great river that flows from south to north. The river itself is made from a chain of geysers and is always steaming.

The hidden ninja village of sin, Fuzen, is an incredibly large underground town square. Built in part generations ago by a cult who went by the name “Saishioten”, and in part by the village’s new leader the Kazankage. The original Saishioten structure was an underground necropolis, a city-temple, of dark worship. The Kazankage, with some of his men, added onto the necropolis, creating a system of underground caves and tunnels.

The finished product is a village suitable for a discrete military. Entrances look only like cracks in the ground, something that blends in well with the already cracked surfaces of the land. There are a few places where Fuzen meets the sunlight for morale and for agriculture; even these courtyard-like places though are hidden in between the highest tightly coiled mountain valleys, yet another overabundant feature of the country.

Light sources outside of people homes and in the ‘streets’ of Fuzen come from flowing magma, usually pouring out from statues or gracing passageways like rivers of illumination. Despite this, the air is generally cool, so long as one doesn’t stay to close to the magma. This temperature is maintained by underground lakes and water flows. The walls ceilings and floors were melted to a smooth solid, keeping bugs and other pests from becoming incessant. All of this work keeps this place from feeling anything like a cave, and makes it something a person can actually be comfortable in.

Ninja Way: There is no ‘Nindou’ but it is clear that the spirit of the people is a fighting one, one that rarely causes traitorous or treasonous acts, even in the face of torture.

The people here understand that they stick together because they are powerful, and they are powerful because they stick together.

A good thing for any enemy of Fuzen to know is that it’s definitely always “us” in a ‘them or us’ situation. Threats are always met head on, and an eye for an eye would be speaking of their punishments lightly.

Additional Information

Kage’s Office: The necropolis that the village was centered around is a pyramid hanging upside-down in a vast underground void. The Kage’s office is at the bottom, the tip. Underneath the necropolis is a large but shallow underground lake.

A.N.B.U.: Watchtowers too, are hidden just beneath the earth. The underground system that connects parts of Fuzen together secretly create a giant Saishioten symbol. Because of this and the style of the village most ANBU know douton, or another skill that makes it easier than normal to move and take action in such a burrowed system.

Ranks: Shinobi students training to become Chuunin start as gennin in the academy. This means Fuzen trainers only take on students who already show gennin level ninja talent. Training commences similar to usual, except while in the academy, students also go out and do missions suitable to gennin. A side effect of this is it tends to fill the shinobi ranks with those who have special bloodline abilities and ninja who are just plain damned good at what they do.

Abilities: After spending enough time living in Fuzengakure and Jishin, people, ninja especially start developing special skills because of their surroundings. The dim light of Fuzen causes residents eyes to see better than average in darkness.

People from all over Jishin acquire a sort of multitasking ability. This ability comes from having to hear things in everyday life that everyone else hears, at the same time as the nearly perpetual rumbles of the country’s infamous tremors. This gives their ears a hearing advantage, and forces them to be able to pick out a single specific sound within an array of other noises.

Other Villages: The Kazankage has allowed several other non-shinobi villages to exist among Jishin. These villages are generally populated by people who've been struck by tragedy or disaster and disaster. Because refugees and orphans with nowhere else to go make up the majority of these towns, they have no real enemies and rarely need protection.

To the very north, where the river of steam runs into the ocean, is a beautiful tourist resort. There is a gradient of different things to do here because of how amazingly the cold temperatures of the north blend with the tropical temperatures cause by volcanoes and geysers. At all times of the year it has hot springs, a warm ocean, a cool ocean, a thick green forest, a snow covered winter wonderland and more.

As staff, I would like to remind the other staff that we do have the ability to add in our own judgments and postpone someone's approval if you see something wrong or something that needs to be edited. That even includes me. So if you guys see something I did that you don't like, feel free to jump in.

Just a few minor details that I need cleared up.

Kage are named after elements. Volcano is a system, but not an element. Perhaps Lava? Youkage? (I know that looks weird, but just saying it's more so correct in Japanese.

Explain why ninja in the village call you a "Shadow", if you could. Seeing as this takes place before Konoha and the establishment of the five great Kage, this village would have had to either make it up on their own, or maybe you could address another formation of Kage that could have possibly went on before Konoha? Like an alliance of villages that was prior to the time Konoha came into existance... Seeing as you're the first custom village leader, I'll leave that to you.
