These are the guidelines and rules of making profiles here. If you would like to make a new character, please make sure you read and abide by the following guidelines; doing so will ensure, a speedy and non-stressful profile experience. Thank you. :3
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. There are no "Jounin exams". Jounin are promoted by the village leader.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. You may create an NPC(Click) here using the template provided.
9. Do not ask for your profile to be looked at unless it's been over a week since a mod has taken a look.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. 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.
