This is the first game I will try and run on Myth-Weavers, though I have played in several. If this fact bothers you feel free to not apply. In any case, I am willing to try.
If there is anything you aren't positive is allowed, feel free to ask and I'll answer when I can, I shy away from homebrew stuff, but there is no harm in asking.
I'm looking for 5 players who are able to post once per day. The players will make up two 3 man squads who at the start of the game are on a mission to deliver vital orders to the Village Hidden in the Sand.
By default Characters should be from the Village Hidden in the Leaves, but if you have a convincing enough story and reason to be on a Leaf Squad, let me know.
Applications Require the Following:
Name
Age
Description A paragraph or two detailing your characters appearance, including any noteworthy gear or markings, or a picture, or both.
Personality 1-3 paragraphs about how your character acts and who they are, I should be able to make an educated guess on how your character might act certain situations based on this.
Background What has made your character who he/she is, what important events, or parts of their life have impacted them? Do they have any goals?
Battle Style (Optional) Basically how your character acts in a fight, this section is truly optional, and won't count against you if absent, its just another area that lets you present your application.
And a link to a character sheet.
Game Description:
The game will be based in the Naruto world, however I readily admit I have not read the manga, and have not seen all the episodes. that being said, the game will feature a cast of ninja created by me and will omit certain events that may have occurred. This will lead to a few more choices for the players in their character creation. That being said the players will begin as Genin of the Village Hidden in the Leaves.
I'd rather not give many surprises away, but the story line will follow the players' comprising two three man genin cells as they go through their careers as young shinobi.
The game begins with all the characters having been genin for a long enough term to be considered somewhat capable. Due to high demand on the Village's Jounin, each cell is being led by a Chuunin. Several days before the game's start both squads were called to the Hokage to be handed a mission. It was there that the Hokage spoke calmly to you about the scroll you now are carrying. The scroll is said to contain the location of several strategically placed Shinobi around the land.
You have been tasked to deliver the scroll to the Village Hidden in the Sand, once delivered, Sand Ninja will be sent to back up the various Leaf Shinobi around the land in various Missions. Simply put it is a plan detailing joint operations between the two Villages.
In order to ensure the scroll's safety two Squads were chosen. While the scroll is not expected to generate much interest in any of the Leaf's enemies, it ranks just high enough to be protected but not high enough to warrant higher ranked shinobi.

I had a character for another game I was playing in I would love to try. Are you allowing Jincuurriki or not? It is no big deal to me either way. I have two character concepts I can use either way. One happens to be the 3 tailed jIncuuriki.
What part of the Naruto Timeline will this story take place during? Also if there are only 5 people occupying two 3 man cells am I to assume there will be an NPC on one of the teams? If so can we know about the npc ahead of time. That way we can add in some info about them into our backstories if we are on that team?
Will we be getting a canon Shinobi as squad leader from the show?
Do we have to take Academy Student as an occupation?
Do you mind if characters do combined histories or have linked backstories?
I see that the rolling dice is crossed out. Does that mean that you want point buy only? Or can we roll the 5d6 and then choose point buy if we don't like it?
Sorry for the bombardment of questions. But they matter to the character type I am going for.
-No Jinchuuriki sorry,
-In reference to the timeline, it is unlikely you run into any characters from the series, and I think I will more than likely ignore the majority of Naruto's arc.
-Concerning the 5 players, you're right in assuming a sixth npc team member, and I'll be looking to get you information on him as soon as possible. The two teams will be separated after I've selected players, so you won't know whether your on the npc's squad until then, though you can certainly formulate an opinion and relation with him.
EDIT: in General Info, Squad Nine, I've added basic information on the extra genin. I may potentially add more another day.
-Will not be getting a Canon squad leader, the squad leaders are Chuunin as well, though I will reserve the right to bring Canon characters into the storyline.
-You are not required to pick academy student as an occupation, though you are welcome to.
-You're welcome to have combined backstories, but I can't guarantee I bring both players from the combined backstory...
-Rolling Dice for stats is crossed out and not allowed, I've found that sometimes that level of dice rolling can really separate the power levels between characters in the party, and I'd rather avoid that if possible
