Nope, I didn't take a class, GS; just online resources.I use online dictionaries to find words that interest me; sometimes I even type "japanese word for ___" into Google and see what comes up. Even after I find a good word in the dictionary, I usually bring it up in Google (______ means usually works, sometimes add what you think it means on the end to check if other sites agree with what you found) to see it in context. ![]() Calger's Anime Shrine Glossary - huge list of words. noice. http://www.flame.org/~calger/animedict.html The 500 Essential Japanese Season Words - good for finding nature stuff http://renku.home.att.net/500ESWd.html Yale Anime Society's 100 List - pretty limited, but good explanations. http://www.yale.edu/anime/glossary.html Names http://www.sengokudaimyo.com/miscellany/names.html http://www.pet-net.net/pet-names/japanese-names.html http://www.japanorama.com/namesinj.html http://www.aboutnames.ch/japanese.htm <- probably the best for given names http://www.behindthename.com/nmc/jap.php Although, to tell the truth, I don't really use the name things much. For example, "Shiranai" means something along the lines of "I don't know" or "Unknown." It's not a real name, so don't feel limited to those name lists. :3 As for translators, I personally don't trust them, which is why I go through all this. Translators are all about the denotative definitions of words, not the more important connotations. It'll give you a word meaning "four," but it won't tell you that "Shi" also means death, and if you try to translate a whole sentence, just forget it. Although, now that I have easy access to such translators- thanks, DP! -I might try them after all. But I'm still going to check each word I use in Google and my dictionaries!Oh! And I use Wikipedia a lot. For example, the word "Renzoku" doesn't directly translate to "Overdrive," but the Renzoku was some kind of move in the older FF games, or something, I forget. ;D |

Hmm Cojo must voice his thoughts First off, noice. A rescue Sayuri arc coming up I see. Second off about the third part of the exam... How exactly is that going to work on the board? If both competitors want to win badly, than how will we ever get to the point where someone loses or cannot continue fighting? |

In the manga, deciding on a champ would pose a similar problem. So they interrupted the exam, problem solved. Not only will the Third Exam be set up differently than the original (>:3) but we can handle that issue.

Sayuri will *not* be following Orochimaru yet. Well, I don't know if she will at all, that's Kimi's choice. All I know is this: Sayuri's being in Konoha is critical to part of my plans with the rest of Team Lee. That's why Orochimaru didn't take her away yet. >:3 ALTHOUGH -- y'all know Orochimaru's still after Sharingan. He obviously didn't get Sasuke's body, or Sasuke would be dead. Itachi is too scary for even Orochimaru to attempt it. The only other people known to have Sharingan are Kakashi (too old) and Sayuri (just right). Yeah, that would mean Orochimaru is trying to destroy Sayuri's soul and take her body, which would make him a woman. Crack your jokes, but y'all better remember that if scary snake man gets Sharingan he'll pwn ya. IF Kimi wants a Sayuri Retrival Arc, like the Sasuke Retrival Arc, I can do that. :3 But it's her choice as far as I'm concerned. I have no information about the third part of the exam, except that HA and I have already agreed on a month between now and the exam. While most of that will be skipped for time concerns, not all of it will as HA and I have two battles planned and I have to do some important stuff with some of my characters, as well as introduce the guy who made it cool to betray and murder your clan. |

"The guy who..." ![]() Hey, Jacko's done weirder things to his body. I mean Orochimicheal. I mean Orochimaru. ![]() Maybe J- Oroc- "he" should be looking into other bloodline limits, too... >:3 Ryukku... >:} EDITUS: As much as I would love to fake people out, Perv-sennin is not Red Dragon. ^_^; He's more like a frog, anyway. No, Red Dragon is yet to be met by y'all... >:} Also: Shikamaru will arrange something for Ryukku and Sama; what to do when a teammate abandoning the Village and becoming a mass murderer is actually covered in the Rule Book.

Well, if he wants to become dead, then he could... Though I don't really see why some really evil guy obsessed with living forever would want a much inferior blood limit to the Shanrigan (especially with the Shanrigan having so much evil-potential), anyway... |

Well, it wouldn't be totally out of character for Orochimaru to want her bloodline too -- he wants Sharingan, but according to Kakashi, Byakugan may be superior to Sharingan, but Orochimaru isn't hunting Neji or Hinata; only Sasuke. However, Orochimaru's true motivation is to obtain Mangekyou Sharingan, which is currently in possession of only a select number of people. For Orochimaru to get Sharingan, he must destroy Sayuri's soul and transfer his soul to her body. To get Mangekyou, before he takes over Sayuri's body, he must have her kill her best friend to evolve Sharingan. That would mean Orochimaru must discover who her best friend is, and then find a way to make her kill him/her. I tell you all of this, because it's totally obvious that Orochimaru is planning this. After this point, however, his plans are classified because instead of However, Orochimaru can only take over one body at a time, so going after Ryukku and Sayuri now would be pointless; so he's taking the superior bloodline -- Uchiha Sharingan. Edit: Although at this point, neither Ryukku or any of the Genin (or Chuunin) in Konoha would have a chance against Orochimaru. He's had 90 years of |

I have a new character for TNT! Name: Prof. Agosp Orkenoi Age: 40ish Gender: Male Ninja Skills: None Information: A scientist from an unknown region. He’s here after tracking down a certain someone. His background, intent, and even name may very well be fake. However, he has arrived in Konoha looking for a certain someone. Very possibly the only NON-Ninja character of this RP, if he‘s approved. He’s here so I have some evilness, and my plans with Galv. After all, why did he show up in the village he was raised in? He’s not related to anyone biologically there, and only related from adoption. So…He’ll help clear up some of Galv’s past… |

Hmm... I messed this up, didn't I...? <.<; There are twelve Teams. Team Otogani, Team ~ahem~, Team Amaya, and the two unnamed Konoha teams will definitely fail. Team Shikamaru will be allowed to pass with no scrolls due to their lost teammate, and Team Lee already got Team Otogani's scroll, leaving four available to take. Therefore, Teams Sasuke, Sakura, Hinata, Kashuri, and Kankuro all need to get a scroll, ending with a total of seven teams (because of Team Shikamaru). If Team Shikamaru gives away their scroll to another team, friendly or otherwise, then that's five (~ahem~, Amaya, Shikamaru, unknown, unknown) for five (Sasuke, Sakura, Hinata, Kashuri, Kankuro). This is a bit of a spoiler, but to clear things up, Team Amaya's third teammate killed the unknown teams. So Team Amaya has two scrolls, and there's a scroll lying near a dead team somewhere!Basically, what I'm saying is, to be fair, take scrolls from teams that are able to be stolen from. ^_^; EDIT: ~ahem~ = you know who I mean, and if you don't, do the math. Actually, GS's post solves a couple things! If Team Kashuri can pass now, then there's an extra scroll! ![]() Also: AGoI should definitely get some kind of award for those jutsus. Kameha Jutsu? Pwns.

That's why I made it so that Zhao had a scroll! I wanted Team Kashuri to pass the exam without having to fight someone else. |

@_@ How confusing... Anyway, I have a question: Since prelims (I think?) are gonna be the same as the ones in teh manga, which means one-on-one combat between randomly selected ninjas, how exactly is that gonna work? Draw names from a hat? Predetermined? Hmmmm? Also... how do we decide who passes? Personally, I'm fine with Wan failing (the poor guy...)... I don't know if GS wants Sayuri to pass for Orochimaru's plans or not... I don't even know when she'll be leaving, though I hope it's AFTER the exams, since a Sayuri Retrieval Arc would interfere with the exams...
