NPC Rules
Here at Naruto Genesis we enforce people to start as Genin for their PCs. But we understand that a lot of sites don't do this. They want PC Senseis teaching Genin, but we decided that the problem with that was that Genin are kind of tied to other people's activity in order to progress. If PC Sensei don't post, then Genin suffer and there's less character progression. It's simply better if everyone starts at the same level and works their way up the ranks. However we still need a system for Genin to have their Kakashi's, their Guy's, and their other higher-ranked characters.
That's where the NPC system comes in.
With this system everyone will be allowed to create NPC's for the purposes of furthering their story. These are the Chuunin through ANBU characters that people usually try to register on other sites. You can incorporate these characters into threads with your Player Characters in order to serve the story roles you need. This can range from your character's sensei, to their parents, to their siblings. Just keep in mind the following rules for NPC Characters.
1) All NPC Characters must have their own account with the [NPC] Tag embedded into their username. They must be then registered in the Character Registration forum.
2) This should be obvious, but just in case we'll state it bluntly here. NPC Characters do not replace PC Characters in anyway. They cannot kill PC characters, they cannot teach PC's jutsu that the PC's themselves would not normally be able to learn (like Restricted Techniques for example). They are not the heroes or villains of anyone's story, but story characters meant to enhance the actual player character's. They also cannot be used to help PC's metagame information.
3) Conversely, PC Characters cannot just instant-kill these NPC Characters. You cannot kill another player's NPC without their permission, as that would be enforcing something onto their story. The only exception to this rule is during a Open Plot Event where everyone is capable of dying, in which case anyone who enters is at risk of dying. You also cannot use these NPC Characters to gain implants, steal Kekkei Genkai, or steal techniques.
4) You only gain 5 EXP per post with an NPC, and with no bonuses. This EXP can be delivered to ANY of your PC characters. EXP cannot be spent on the NPC except to buy techniques that they might still have slots for.
5) NPC Characters cannot go beyond A Class. We want PC's who reach beyond that tier to feel special.
6) Although you cannot kill, or be killed by, other PC's this does not mean you cannot interact with them. If you guys wanna have fun and spar with the NPC or even have a serious fight with him for story-purposes that is encouraged! Just make sure everyone's consenting to it. Don't use him to shit on someone who doesn't want any part of it. Same rule applies for NPC vs. NPC.
