Name: When it comes to picking a name, we appreciate people being as creative as possible, steering away from the generic names like Kuro, which means Dark. We want all names to be Japanese related, though certain exceptions may be made, avoid common names like James, Peter, Stephanie, Sarah etc. Your name should sit with your surname at the front followed by your first name. For example; Uchiha, Sasuke. Do not forget that comma.
Nickname: For a lower-ranked Ninja, this may be something your close friends call you. For Higher Ranked Shinobi or Nukenin this is more of a title, therefore it is permitted if you change the template field of Nickname to Title. It is common that this field is left blank for lower rankers and is considered optional.
Age: Your age should reflect your ranking and background, we hope we don't see any thirteen year old Jounin or any thirty year old Genin. Below is an average age expectancy for each rank.
Genin: 11+ Chuunin: 16+ Jounin: 25+ Kage: 30+
Gender: Male or Female, need I say more?
Appearance: The appearance is a very important part of the template and it is important as you are as descriptive as possible. This should be easy to start, since you have provided an image, this should be what your character looks like, but not every detail has to be the same, eye colour can be altered to your liking likewise with uniform. Describe your characters physical appearance which includes such thing as weight, height, muscular definition, facial features, any distinct markings, eye and hair colours, skin completion, etc. Move onto your attires, surely you would have the basic ninja attire for your village or organization unless you were a Nukenin, if this is the case, elaborate on the basics but add a unique little tweak to your official uniform. What kind of other attires do you wear, surely you are not always dressed in ninja wear, what do you where at home, during a day off? Any accessories?
Forehead Protector: Where is your forehead protector located, this is important since everybody should have a forehead protector, even Nukenin. Do you where it as a headband, the traditional way, around an arm, like a belt or merging with your attire, around your neck? The possibilities are endless.
Personality: Try to be original here, not everybody is going to be emotionless, especially at a young age. It would take experience in the Ninja World or a very cruel past to have no emotion whatsoever, we understand people may appear emotionless but we still want you to describe how situations effect your character, even if it isn't physically shown. Include things like what your character likes and dislikes, what their hobbies are, what they enjoy doing and what they don't. What foods they like? How do they think and act in battle? This should be easy for most of you, we just ask for you to be creative.
Clan: Just a link to your approved clan, whether its canon or custom; please provide it.
Nindō: Also known as a Ninja Way, Nndō is a rule and/or motto an particular shinobi will live by. A ninja's nindō can be anything no matter how immoral their personal point of view is. Naruto's Nindō was "I'm not gonna run away. I never go back on my word, that is my Nindō! My ninja way!" The main point of this would be that he will never go back on his word. Your characters Nindō will be how he or she lives their life and should reflect on their personality. Think very carefully about your Ninja Way and consider your affiliations, if your associated with a village, it would not be wise to have your Ninja Way to exact revenge on that nation. ---------------------

Combat Style: How does your character like to fight? Hit and run tactics, a fearless tank on the battlefield or do you lurk in the shadows and kill silently. There are many different tactics and here is where you can write a brief description of the combat style in which encapsulates your character. This in some regards can be seen as a characters 'Combat Nindō'.

STARTING JUTSU LIMITS:
Implementing a limitation to the amount of jutsu you initially start off with is what we think to be a smart tactic. Not only does it encourage roleplaying and training, it also encourages character development; which is what we love to see. Please note these will not include certain jutsu like the academy technique and any others.
