In place of all those separate updates, the profile section has been condensed into a set of general rules made from all of the notes._ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Profile Guidelines
[1] If you are bringing a character over from Version 1 of Konaha then you must provide a link to that character in your new profile.
[2] Custom-Canon profiles do take significantly longer to look over due to the fact that the profile staff wants to give everyone a chance to apply who wants to and it takes time to pick the right applicant. Please be patient.
[3] Haku's clan, the Uchiha, and the Kaguya are all dead. You may not be one. Period. Your name may not even come close to a canon clan name. Also you may not include any relationships to canon characters in your profile unless it was established ICly. Disregard the crossed out part of this rule; it is a remnant of Konaha v1 and does not apply to the corrent timeline. You also may not be a Sannin. The term you want is Sennin- wandering ninja.
[4] We will no longer be accepting images that we deem too inappropriate based on proboards terms of service. It is rare that this happens however, so if you are unsure about an image simply use it in your profile and we will tell you to remove it or alter it accordingly.
[5] You cannot "move" to another village in your history without the permission of the village leader of the village you've transferred to. If they do not grant it you are a nukenin. The only exception is characters from destroyed villages.
[6] There are no "Jounin exams". Jounin are promoted by the village leader.
[7] Do not use canon images for custom characters, even if the canon is dead. You are permitted to use fanart of a certain character so long as it looks different enough from the original canon.
[8] You are not permitted to transfer stats from one character to another via Revamp. If you are merely reposting an old character with minimum changes than that is acceptable. However creating an entirely new character and attempting to give it elite level affinity from an old one is certainly not. This will be looked at on a case by case basis.
[9] Please use the template provided in the following posts when applying for characters. You may use a custom variation of the template, but please make sure to include all the information.
[10] If you are applying to be a member of a canon clan or a custom clan on the site you must either link to your approval in the clan board or get the current leader of the clan to post in your profile saying they approve. In the case that there is no clan leader for a certain canon clan then the profile staff will review your application.
[11] You may create an NPC(Click) here using the template provided.
[12] Do not ask for your profile to be looked at unless it's been over a week since a mod has taken a look.
[13] If you have been stripped in the Custom-Canon strip, you will not be reconsidered for a canon character again until the next strip or until a substantial time has passed and there are no other suitable applicants to choose from.
[14] Read the rules. They are there for your benefit. If you have questions that this guide did not answer for you please feel free to contact a staff member via PM.
[15] You cannot take information from outside sources (e.g. Wikipedia) and copy history, personality, or anything else verbatim for your character. Everything must be written in your own words.

Profile Template
This is the somewhat more advanced template. It's still pretty idiot-proof, but newer members might want to stick with the first one until they have a fair understanding of coding.
This template was brought to you, the member, courtesy of Zetsu.

[position]
NATURE MANIPULATION:
[primary]
[secondary]
[tertiary]

MENTALITY:
BIOGRAPHY:
Provide a link to your character image here. You can do this by copying and pasting the URL to the image in the code. Be sure to add the "=" sign in the code, like this: .
These are the basics to your character profile, and the core of what you need to actually RP. They're very basic, to just fill out the slots according to your vision and the template guidelines.
Names are generally required to be Japanese in origin. However, variations off of Japanese names and Chinese names are acceptable.
Age goes hand in hand with character ranks. Keep in mind that it generally takes a long time for characters to advance in rank. Here is a basic guideline for character progression with age and rank: Genin: 12 -Years Old, Chūnin: 19 Years Old, Tokubetsu Jōnin: 21 Years Old, Jōnin: 25 Years Old. You can achieve the ranks earlier through In-Game achievement.
To be noted: Rank and Positions are very different. Every Shinobi has a rank, but positions are entirely optional.
Ranks include the following: Ninja Academy Student, Genin (Low Ninja), Chūnin (Middle Ninja), Tokubetsu Jōnin (Special High Ninja), Jōnin (High Ninja), and Kage (Shadow). Although the majority of Shinobi are Chūnin in rank in the Manga, the only limit on character ranks is that you cannot be a Kage without earning the position In-Game.
Positions include the following: Iryōnin (Medical Ninja), Nukenin (Rogue Ninja), Sennin (Wandering Ninja), Academy Teacher, ANBU, Oinin (Hunter Ninja), Lord/Lady, etc. Do not confuse Sennin with Sannin. The Sannin are Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru and cannot be a psotion for custom characters.
When you get into the nitty-gritty world of chakra nature, be sure to remember that every character is born with an affinity to one chakra nature. This is called the "Primary Chakra Nature." A character up to the Tokubetsu Jōnin Rank have one chakra nature right off the bat. Jōnin can have two, and the Kage are capable of having three.
As a special note: you can learn to develop your secondary and tertiary chakra natures In-Game. However, there is a reason they are so limited. It has been stated in the Manga that learning a secondary chakra nature takes a long time to do. As such, don't think that one post, or even one thread is going to be enough to master a secondary chakra nature.
This is simple fluff to your profile. List or describe the people your character is relation to. You can be as detailed or as simplistic as you want with this. Please note that you cannot be related to a canon character directly. The closest you can come to it is if you are approved into one of the open canon clans.
You simply describe the physical characteristics of your character here. This includes height, weight, body type, etc.
You describe the mentality, or personality of your character here. This can be as brief or as detailed as you want as long as you give enough description for RP purposes.
All you do here is give us your character's history. One to two well-written paragraphs are enough. You can, however, be more detailed about the character history if you like.
