Next up!
We’ve add two posts to the Legendary Creatures and Objects threads [Here] and [Here]. These will be going up for a lottery in the next couple of days. I’m announcing them now so that you have a chance to look over them and really get a good idea of which you’re interested in. They’ll be held to the same standard as Genma, in that the characters they are placed on will be required to meet a minimum activity standard, which is at least a post every 2 months. For those of you that own weapons within the villages, your OOCs will have the discretionary command after the 2 month period. For weapons that end up on Missing Ninja, it will be on the discretionary command of myself and Vy.
The weapons cost 25 points, can be placed on pre-existing characters, or a character built for them. *NOTE* If you have anything made by the forum: genma, weapons, companions, you cannot be the initial recipient of any other thing produced by the forum. The weapons from The 5 Evils of the World are village locked, meaning they will forever remain in circulation at the location they end up in. The Emperor’s Armoury is not village locked, which is attached to the lore and will be expanded on for the plot boards that will be required for completion to be earned.
Additionally, the weapons are not required to be distributed evenly throughout the villages. If everyone who wins the lottery elects to put them in Kiri ( ) that’s entirely your own decision, and you will not be forced to select between whats available and what isn’t. You are encouraged to consider other options with the 5 Evils (i.e; if Suna is already selected, perhaps go with Missing Ninja rather than Suna again.) Keep your eyes out for the Lottery, which will include more information on the subsequent plot boards as well. It should be noted that failure to win one of these lotteries will not preclude you from being able to gain the weapon before the winner, but the winner will be receiving a very distinct advantage.
Following this~
The next thing we’re doing is another sort of member participation type deal. I’m calling it Monster Maker because I’m hopelessly uncreative. A thread will be coming up for you guys to register S-rank Companions similarly to you doing so for the Legendary Weapons thread. There will be a payout for each submission, higher payout for more developed submissions. These will be used for another event later on so be mindful of what you’re doing, and making something that you expect to be a very adequate challenge...or inadequate if you’re feeling lucky.
Again, I’m telling you now, again, so you can start preparing yourself mentally, because there will likely be a time limit on what is submitted.
And finally.
We had a look around and made some refinement adjustments to a few passives. Almost all of them were doton base passive, but also to suiton. They’re listed below:
- Youton: Was clarified that it’s [Melting] effect reduces target jutsu’s strength by ¼ of the youton jutsu’s strength. Also, Youton jutsu, upon their expiration, harden into a solid product that has 1 Strength.
- Garaton Garaton was increased from ¼ to ⅓. Additionally, the [Shattering] effect always happens after x posts, where x is 1/3rd the strength of the jutsu.
- Shouton: - Shouton is modified to only be able to be used once, but can absorb multiple techniques. After activation, the Shouton technique “dies” to turn into normal doton, with only 1/4 its original strength, taking up Doton’s [Enduring] effect.
- Suiton - Suiton was increased from ⅔ strength to ¾ strength.
Questions, comments, concerns, et cetera can be sent through any medium that gets you in contact with whoever you’re trying to get in touch with to ask.
