From a translator I found online (freedict.com, anyone?) it's japanese for "love and hate". (Um, it also gave me "review/rehearsal".) Lame, we know, but well, it sounds pretty and it cliché-ly sums up Naruto, amirite amirite? Because there are shinobi who hate each other.. and shinobi who love each other. :D?

(Someone please tell me if onshuu is not what we hope it means. We came up with the name last summer. >3>)

Go here for canon characters, and here for original characters, which you can, yes, have. Not that I like them much, rrrrrr. >3> Cora mainly deals with them. Allowing them helps me work on being a good person, I guess.. -sigh- J-JUST MAKE SURE I DON'T SEE THEM TOO MUCH _{(actually don't worry about it, srsly kids, I'm just dramatic and over-use chatspeak when I'm trying to be funny).}

To keep things tidy, 3. You are allowed a maximum of 2 canon characters. The rule was made to keep the canons in order. You may have 3 OCs if you'd like, but if you do, you cannot have any canons. You can have one OC and two canons. You can even just have one canon, which is probably what I'll do. Mix it up however you'd like. Those are just the restrictions.

Me. If you need to contact me, PM or e-mail me. I don't really care and I love being contacted. C:

YOU BET THERE ARE. Check 'em out at the Original Characters Application board. READ THEM MORE CAREFULLY THAN ANYTHING if you're interested in creating one.

For canons, you're on a VERY thin wire. Most likely NOT. For originals, kill them all hahahahahahha. Okay not really. But basically, on all things related to character death, you need to talk to all of the staff, and other people who you think will be affected by it. It will all come down to plot.

Of course there are. Why should we restrict you from roleplaying a character that you love that was killed during the series' progression? (No, you can't make them zombies). This does not mean that the dead kages are playable again, or that the Uchiha marvelously came back to life. I think I listed everyone in the characters list, but if I didn't, let me know and I'll tell you if I think adding them is okay or not.

I'm not going to do the thing where every single member sits down and reviews your proposition of a pairing--that would take too long and obviously we're going to have differences in our pairing preferences. For now, just ask the person you'd like to pair your character with, and see if they're up to it. If they are, bam, that's the pairing. Just don't like.. make your character a complete slut, okay. If you make a pairing, make it stick. Make it a real relationship. One that lasts, goes through good times and bad times, and either prospers or eventually breaks up and the characters move on.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.

See above answer, and multiply x 10. Rinse and repeat until you get the message.

YES SIR/MADAM.

N-NOTHING IMPORTANT.
