KONOHA PLOT DAY ONE

[ino]

WELCOME TO KONOHA.

n o v e m b e r 5 -- 9

Starting tomorrow morning, your characters will wake up in a brand new place. A place called Konoha, the Hidden Village of Leaves! It is a ninja village, where many ninjas (and civilians) live together in peace (sort of). It's also warm all year round! It is governed by the benevolent, kind, possibly in possession of a drinking and gambling problem and lovely Lady Tsunade, also known by the title "Fifth Hokage".

Your character will be waking up in their own apartment/house tomorrow morning. (They can also wake up with roomies -- either their current roomies/housemates in Paradisa, or brand new ones if you so desire!) Their apartments are distinctly Japanese, architecture-wise, and they'll find that the city outside is bustling with plenty of people, all of whom seem to recognize you and think you've been living there your whole life.

They will wake up with the following items:

- Some plain, boring, kind of 80's civilian clothing. There aren't a lot of great canon examples of civvies, but here is a sheet of clothing Ino has worn besides her ninja outfit. She is considered extremely fashionable in Konoha (don't ask me why). Most other people tend to wear simple t-shirts and pants/shorts.
- A really tacky ninja outfit, probably with a healthy amount of fishnet in there somewhere (yes, even if you're a guy). For examples of typical ninja outfits, see here, here, and here.
- Sandals. These vary in size and style, but they are usually black or dark blue and always expose the toes.
- A flak jacket (see here).
- A Konoha hitaiate (see here; this is traditionally tied around the head and displayed on the forehead, but characters have also been known to wear it around their waist, their arm, or not at all).
- Some kunai, some scrolls, and some exploding tags.
- A team assignment. You'll see what these are for later! (Please check the linked post for your character team assignments!)

Your character may also notice upon waking up that they can jump MUCH higher than the average human being, as well as walk on any surface (trees, walls, water, etc) with ease. Isn't it awesome being a ninja? (All original character powers/special abilities WILL BE PRESERVED. Characters who are not human can remain that way.)

Day One is simply a day for exploration! Take a look around the village -- there are plenty of cool places to check out. I will be making a mass post early tomorrow afternoon (EST) with some of the more prominent locations for people to explore, but feel free to make your own posts/threads exploring anything you like.

HOWEVER! Your characters will not be able to leave the village. Trying to go past the gates of the village will get your character in trouble with the law enforcement in Konoha, because they "don't have the clearance to leave". (Feel free to make a character post about needing to be bailed out of ninja jail. No, seriously.)

Please feel free to use this post as a plotting post! Any and all questions or comments are welcomed. On a personal note, I'm so sorry this post went up so late! I was expecting to get home much earlier than I actually did. ;;

EDIT: If you want to try making your character with a "ninja" outfit, there's a decent Naruto Character Creator dollmaker type thing there to play with. :)

OMG THOSE TEAM ASSIGNMENTS, I LIKE. Brock might be the only sane and morally upright one in that Team 62, am I right? I'm going to post with Alice abusing the exploding tags soon :3

Lucrezia will most likely be knocked out for the duration of this week, pending mod approval.
