Rules, Guides, and Guidelines

---> Please respect all other members of the site. This means no petty or nasty arguments, foul language, spam or anything else deemed unnecessary or rude. If you have a problem with another user or even one of our staff members, please PM an appropriate member of staff and they will deal with the issue as best they can. This means excessive In RP language as well, please note at the top of your topic if it is going to be highly vulgar. Example:
Topic Name: Bob the Bobinator [Vulgar Language]
Failure to comply with this rule will result in warnings, followed by suspension and then a ban.

---> We ask you to please maintain a consistent high-standard of role-play on this site. Please try to keep spelling, grammar and punctuation as accurate as you can. This will help everyone understand and enjoy their roleplay with you and other members. However, knowing that we do have members whom are not as precise on the site as others, we are very lenient on this rule, and don't enforce it unless someone is being deliberately belligerent with another member while RPing, to the point where their intentions are insulting and angering the member.

---> Only members of staff may post on application threads (character, summon, clan etc.). If you are not a member of staff and you post on one such thread, your post will be deleted and you may receive a warning. Certain members may be given special permission to post on applications. Please show them as much respect as you would a moderator or administrator. Failure to comply with the member will lead to exactly what failure to follow a moderator or administrator's instructions would be, lack of approval.

---> Please refrain from double-posting. Instead, edit your previous post.

---> Please do not spam outside of the spam sub-forum. Excessive posting, in one topic repetitively, noted more than double posting is an example. Posting unnecessary comments or otherwise in character or out of character posts that are not approved of by everyone else within the topic are ill advised. An example of this would be entering a topic with a few posts to deliberately intrude on others who are role playing, without proper cause. We will delete posts and issue warnings if you do not adhere to this rule.

---> This forum is PG-13. Adult content, foul language and anything else considered 'beyond' this age rating will be removed and can result in warnings, suspension or even an immediate ban. If your topic is going to get vulgar, extremely detailed/bloody, or sexual in any manner, please note at the top of the topic an appropriate rating. If you cannot manage to let others know BEFORE you start something within the topic as the topics tend to lock, please notify a moderator or administrator BEFORE continuing.

---> Our staff members are busy people and have their own lives to lead. Please do not bug them about checking applications unless absolutely necessary. Constantly asking a moderator or administrator to do something often gets irritating and it is possible for your application to be at the bottom of the check list. Please, respect all staff in this manner and your topics will be check relatively quicker.

Banned & Restricted List
---> Please request use of Rasengan or Chidori on your application first. Do not recreate these techniques in any way until you are approved for use of them. In which case, making new forms of the techniques are acceptable within reason.

---> No Curse Seals.

---> No demons. This includes Bijuu, and other major or minor demons. Demons and Bijuu are given to members during events as incentive for winning or participating in an event. They are used as extras on the site and due to their increasing a character's power, are very limited.

---> No Senjutsu [Sage Mode//Sage Techniques] is currently permitted.

---> No Flying Thunder God Technique is currently permitted.

---> The Hachimon [Eight Celestial Gates] are allowed only with permission of staff. They are under modification so everyone may potentially use them.

---> Mangekyou Sharingan is not available upon registration and even during role-play requires explicit permission from staff. The Sharingan is currently under modification so everyone may use it.

---> Human puppets are only available to ranks higher than Jounin // A Rank Missing-nin and restricted to a maximum of one.

---> Puppet limitations; Genin = 2 puppets, Chuunin = 4 puppets, Jounin = 6 puppets, Higher Ranks = 10 puppets.

Character Rules
---> Each member can only have one character. After three months of active posting you will be allowed to create a second character.

---> Please follow the given template when posting a character application. You will not be approved with an incorrectly formatted application.

---> If you want to create a character ranked higher than a Jounin // A Rank Missing-nin, you need to request permission from an administrator. If allowed, you need to clarify which admin gave you permission when you post your application form. Higher ranks include; Akatsuki, S-Rank Missing-nin, Kage, Sannin. All of these ranks also have limited availability.

---> If you create a criminal character or your character decides to break laws, understand that you can be punished by lawful shinobi, who may even try to kill you. Actions have consequences, don't forget.

Roleplay Rules
---> No godmoding. For those unaware of what the term means when applied to a RP context it is used to describe a players acting in manner where they are not bound or limited by anything (such as their Characters inability to do something) and show no regard for the actions of other people.

Here are a few random examples (they are not taken from anywhere on site, this is not an exercise to point out peoples RP skills, which take time to develop after all):

In a Standard RP Context

-A character runs in to an enemy he cannot hope to defeat. Next post he claims to kill the enemy in a blink of an eye without even losing a heart beat.

-Your character is taken captive and thrown in prison. Next they go claim to have walked out of the prison after beating the guards with nary a scratch

In a Naruto RP Context

Dodging every attack thrown at you in a fight whatever the likelihood of you being able to do this
Not just saying you threw a kunai at his heart but then say which you subsequently struck killing your foe when fighting a PC
Some how being immune to lethal poison you have never come into contact with before and you app mentions nothing about being poison resistant

God Modding is often simpler to do then you might realise. Every time you post the actions of another without their consent or the results of your attacks such as your fireball striking your foe your God Modding whether you realise this or not. The easy way to avoid this is to never post for other PC’s without their explicit permission and never post for the results of your attacks. Its fine to throw a fireball towards someone quite another thing to say it hits them.

When dealing with Jutsu bare in mind that any Jutsu has the possibility of being reversed and absolutely no Jutsu has so much power that it is impossible for any opponent to counter it. It may extremely hard for a academy student to avoid dying at the hands of a S Rank technique but it may be possible. That said it is just as bad to constantly completely avoid your opponent's attack's. Most battles especially between similarly ranked Nins are close and bloody affairs and avoiding injury or where it is clearly bound to happen death

Similarly all Jutsu used must be mentioned at the time of use. Claiming to have used a Jutsu at later point when no evidence exists in the former posts is God Modding

Spamming attack's that would normally cost you an insane amount of chakra is also another form of God Modding. Using Jutsu costs chakra which is a finite resource after all. Over using Jutsu will deplete ones reserves and lead to Charka exhaustion.

---> No metagaming. For those unaware of what the term means when applied to a RP context it is used to describe a players' use of assumed characteristics of the game. In particular, metagaming often refers to having a character act on knowledge that only the player has access to.

Here are a few random examples (they are not taken from anywhere on site, this is not an exercise to point out peoples RP skills, which take time to develop after all):

In a Standard RP Context:


A character tricking a medusa to stare at a mirror when the character has never even heard of medusas and should not be aware of their petrifying stare


In a Naruto RP Context:


Having your character avoid eye contact with an Uchiha possessing MS when there is no logical in game reason they would know about the abilities and thus know to avoid it.

You find character mourning at the memorial stone and who is currently questioning whether she has what it takes to be a ninja. She lost her mother when she was just two. You character is unaware of this but you have read her character sheet and so know. Your character walks up to her to reassure her she’s a great Ninja and that her mother would be proud of her.

Your character knowing about a secret Anbu mission in progress when he is just a genin.


Metagaming makes the RP less immersive and your characters actions less believable, in extreme cases it can be as bad as god-modding, being used to evade things your character wouldn’t have or acquire things he wouldn’t logically have access too.

It’s not the worse problem out there or even totally unacceptable it’s just nice to be aware of. Most metagaming is incidental and as such completely understandable but its best to try and avoid it wear possible. Here are a few pointers:


It’s always a good idea to read the character sheets of individuals you meet in because people generally work hard to produce them, they tend to be interesting and enjoyable and you will connect with the characters more easily and enjoy the RP all the more. However with regard to what your character knows about them the base assumption is absolutely nothing. Much like when you meet someone in real life for the first time you know next to nothing about them. From this base you take into account your characters rank, country, prior social interaction and what he has learned in RP to form what you know.


Always bare you rank in mind when considering what your character would know of others or on matters. A genin’s knowledge would be limited to some basic jutsu, whatever he has picked up on mission, knowledge on his own clan relative to his rank, non sensitive info on the academy and his country and knowledge of his fellow peers (though not specific). The Hokage on the other hand will know or have access to a great many things on a wide range of matters, from who the cleans the toilets at the hospital to the true nature of Konoha’s Kekkai Genkai and who the present holders of the villages summoning contracts.


Your country/village should likewise be bared in mind. Villages are by nature very secretive and anything more then common knowledge would be hard for outsiders to come by.


Personal histories should nearly always be considered unknown to anyone but the parties involved unless revealed by the character in question during RP. Bare in mind though that anything done in an official capacity is likely to be recorded and known to ones superiors. Also you may have been watched, though this is very unlikely unless there is good grounds for it


Clan knowledge, Jutsu, Special abilities and Kekkai Genkai fall into an interesting category. On the one hand many Clans are quite famous and basic information about the abilities and techs is widely spread. Unless your clan is particularly obscure or has very few members it should be assumed that the chances are that some basics concerning you clan’s tech is known. However at the same time the techs themselves especially high level techs are very closely guarded secrets and their true nature is likely to be known by a few people. A good example would be the Uchiha Clan. Most people in Konoha and even beyond are probably aware of their red eyes and some of its basic functions but MS itself will only be known to a select group of people. Not even an Uchiha Genin is likely to be aware of techniques like Sansuno.


Remember that the RP does not follow Cannon and that none of the Cannon characters are existed with relation to it. What we know about rare techs, kkg and special abilities that came out over it may not be known. Using Deidara as an example if someone was to create an Akatsuki character with his abilities and a similar profile, then any Konoha Nin who encountered him would be unaware of his capabilities even though we know them all. In a RP sense his abilities would be new and unheard of.


Never forget that certain characters may be adopting a cover identity, hiding something or lying to you, be it the Hokage or an Academy student. If your character has been given no reason to suspect this then he/she should act as if he remains ignorant of the fact. A good example of this would be if Hailstorm’s Character Hayate actually introduced himself as Bob to whomever he met. Unless you have recourse to doubt him which unless you know his real name seems unlikely, your character would think of him as Bob and should call him such until the point they know better. Similarly if your superior tells you to meet up one but intends much like Kakashi to turn up 3 hours late a diligent genin will turn up on time. The more skilled the Nin and the more practise they have the more believable the lie. Consider this in light of a Jounin Sensei being deliberately late its highly unbelievable that one of his genin students would expect him to be lying and know to arrive 3 hours late. Keeping something known OOC that is in IC secret requires certain amount forethought. Much like an assumption of ignorance, one should always assume that someone is telling the truth unless you have good reason to suspect otherwise or your character possess a suspicious nature.
---> Criminal ninja may not attack other villages without adminstrative permission.

---> Deathmatches are allowed and can happen at any time, in almost any location. If you want a topic NOT to become a deathmatch, put [No Killing] in the title. Similarly, you can put [No Fighting]; [Deathmatch] or other requirements in your topic title.

---> When performing a technique in roleplay, please put the technique details (as on your character application) at the bottom of your post so that other participants can see and understand what you have done and how dangerous it is. (it is understood that all ninja gennin and above can do substitution, transformation, and shadow clone the low level)

---> It is very possible for acts of nature to happen within the game. Should a character get too out of hand and the individual controlling the character get too Hostile, the administration reserves the right to use nature against the character. If the individual has created a technique that has extended beyond that which was originally intended and approved by staff, the administration can quite litterall say "Your character seems to have forgotten ____ technique.". Please, play fairly and appropriately. We are a Naruto RPG site designed for fun, not for people who are too chaotic to be trusted and allowed to Roleplay properly.

--->Staff members are required to be unconditional when reviewing applications, custom creations, etc. Special treatment or favoritism is not tolerated when checking or viewing an application. If a situation occurs where a staff member is required to review actions, events, or otherwise attention drawing events, the staff member will handle it without taking sides, regardless of who is involved. If the staff member feels he or she is unable to handle the situation without leaning towards a specific side do to individuals or prior like/dislike/knowledge of an individual, regardless of the individuals reputation anywhere, including this site, than they are required to request another moderator view the problem, etc.

---> Inter-site Comments- The discussion of other sites affairs within Ingoo is acceptable. However, there has been an excess of disrespect about other sites and this rules is against that. There will be no negativity against members of another site, or another site itself, unless it is respecful critisizm which has a very fine line. If you are not on that fine line, please do not speak of it. There will be no bending of this rule, none of the nonsense about how you were being respectful about something but hadn't the intentions. Please, do follow this rule. It is intended to improve your experience on this site and other sites, which include:
Other Naruto Sites
Bleach
Dungeons and Dragons
Etc.

Character Application Rules:
- For special characteristics, treat them like jutsu. They need quite a bit of detail explaining what they are, why they are, and how they function as they do. A solid paragraph per ability will usually go a long way, especially concerning differing chakra.
- Black chakra, don’t put it down unless it’s part of your clan ability.
- Super speed, super strength, super chakra, etc. It’s all been done and done to death. Be more creative, a character with a handicap is often much more amusing to play as, and provides more things to write about when you RP. Be original.
- Big thing, for your history, be original as well. Don’t be all Sasuke emo, “My parents were killed by a random missing nin, I’m emo.” no, that’s not cool, and it won’t make you look cool. If your parents died, why? Maybe they were late on a payment to a mobster and now you’ve spent your life rising in the mob ranks in order to get revenge. That would be way better. Give your character some purpose, some flair, they don’t always have to be a cut-out.
- RP Sample, be realistic. If you post some 2 page long thing and then you only post a sentence in real RP, that looks really bad and that sends Staff the message “I don’t respect the site or the person I’m Rping with enough to post at my full potential.” Make a real RP sample.
- Make sure your history is accurate, if you’re from a half dead clan, don’t say you lived in the village with your clan members, that’s not accurate at all.
- You cannot have Medical Ninjutsu or Fuuinjutsu until you are at Chunnin or higher rank (B Rank.)
Justu Application Rules:
- Don’t make a Fire Fist, or Lightning Fist, or Earth Fist, or whatever jutsu. They’re overused and overrated, just plain don’t do it.
- Don’t make jutsu similar to other jutsu, you’ll be called on it, it’s against the rules.
- Make sure your rank matches up with the effect, a quick run of overall damage for offensive attacks-
C Rank: Able to inflict moderate harm on a person, if hit directly
B Rank: Able to break bones or other harm on a person, if hit directly
A Rank: Lethal attacks that can cause harm even if they don’t hit directly
S Rank: Just plain lethal, and expensive
- Moving super fast with Fuuton, also been done and overdone.
- Dragons, don’t make dragon jutsu. They’re overrated.
- To judge whether or not a jutsu is OP, imagine if that jutsu was used against you, would you complain about its power according to its rank? Would you think something was wrong?
- Ask your friends about jutsu if you’re not sure if they’re OP, because once it goes up, Staff will directly inform you about it, which can suck sometimes when your cool jutsu gets shot down. We do it to help you, and we’re sure you know that deep-down, but you’ll still be angry, so think ahead.
- Summons, pick an original animal, there are more animals than just mammals…
-Admins hold the right to refuse the use of any cannon jutsu their will be a list in jutsu creation.


Clan Application Rules:
- READ the already made clans, and DON’T imitate them. Here’s a quick run down-
All elemental controls
Ice, Wood, Magma, Crystal, etc. control
Sand, Mist, Metal, etc. control
Part animal clans
Super senses
Part demon clans, which is against the rules anyways…
Immortal clans
Super speed, strength, perception, chakra, etc. clans
Flying clans
- A clan should have the following ratio for jutsu, just as a guide of course:
C Rank: 5-12
B Rank: 4-10
A Rank: 3-7
S Rank: 1-3
This helps create a well balanced clan, you should always have more of a lower rank than you do of a higher rank, as a general rule of thumb.
- Be aware of your niche, if your clan is a frontline fighter, don’t make ranged jutsu, that doesn’t fit your clan created niche and just doesn’t make sense.
- Here especially Staff will offer constructive criticism (unless your clan idea is taken, and then you haven’t read this guide very well and followed it…) and be sure to take it. You can debate, but be respectful, we’re only trying to help you.
- As with jutsu, would you feel overwhelmed or feel it unfair if somebody fought you with your clan? If so, its probably OP and needs to be made less powerful so that it fits in with other clans. You can still be powerful even if your clan SEEMS weak by its jutsu, its how you use them that counts.

Weapon Application Rules:
- I CANNOT stress this enough. Weaponry and Kenjutsu are not the same thing. Kenjutsu is the art of using swords, and nothing else. Kenjutsu is a powerful art because swords are so versatile and common, they can accomplish many things. Weaponry, however, is the use of anything BUT swords. To make up for the abilities and common availability of swords, weaponry encompasses many more things than Kenjustu. If you do not have Kenjustu, you can’t have a sword above D Rank. Kenjutsu users cannot use other weapons outside swords, though they can modify their swords to easily fill other weapon’s niches.
- Only B Rank weapons can conduct chakra through them, if it’s below B Rank, it cannot have chakra pumped into it to do anything, though you can use Weaponry jutsu through a lower ranking weapon if they don’t use chakra. Extending chakra outside of your body in a pure state is something few Genin can do, let alone into a container such as a weapon that then changes it. Chunnin+ for chakra weapons, sorry.
- Invisible weapons, overrated and also very OP without limits placed on them. Don’t make them unless you’re prepared to be denied and rework your weapon until its satisfactory.
- Chakra blades on the end of your weapon, also overrated, and highly ineffective in site RP, from experience they rarely see use since most people just move away from an attack completely, not a few inches.
- Flaming swords, swords that attack faster, swords that paralyze with lightning, etc. all overrated, all very lame, don’t make anymore of them. Be original, for example, those of you who read Bleach know about the Wabisuke. That seems like a horrible ability at first, but in action, its amazing. Be creative, it’s always much better in the end.
- Materials in the ninja world are similar to ours today, excluding chemical advancements. A weapon made of titanium, its possible and most likely S Rank, but it’s not common. A body suit made of spider silk and a metal frame, also doable but infinitely less common than even titanium. Use common elements for C-A Rank weapons, like iron, steel, copper, bronze, etc. leave really obscure stuff to the weapon masters.
- Poisons, they’re only for Medics and Puppeteers. If you aren’t one of those, you can’t use poison. You CAN however, have one of those make the weapon and then give it you in RP, but you have to meet the appropriate rank to use it and it has to be a real character (non-NPC) in RP,
- Cutting though anything, also an overrated ability, also OP. It won’t be approved, so don’t post it.
- Try different weapons from other cultures besides a katana, daggers, or a staff. A mace, hammer, scythe, kami, cestus, chakram, polearm, halberd, hatchet, spear, lance, axe, dart, bow, cross bow, whip, punching arm, or finger blade is every bit as cool and also more flavorful.
RP Rules:
- A biggie, when you make a topic to leave a village, here are the rules about it:
A. You cannot control NPCs in the topic, period, especially guards, Their reaction is to be decided by the person that controls them, usually the village’s Kage. That means you can’t just post that you snuck out of the village, its almost impossible to do that.
B. When you create a leaving topic that must be specified in the title, it has to contain something that imply that you are leaving the village. It is a Staff decision if something does or does not imply, and if it doesn’t, the topic may be voided regardless of content.
C. The topic is not concluded with your single post, your topic is open (regardless of whatever you designate) to anyone who has a logical reason to stop you. This includes any friends within the village, any Jounin or ANBU, and NPC Guards who are free to join your topic. Anyone with a legitimate excuse to enter must first PM a Staff member about the legitimacy of their entrance, once they are given the okay the Staff member will post before hand saying they gave the person permission and then they may post.
D. You may not make a new topic after entering a leaving topic, this applies to the leaving ninja only, within one week of the latest post in the topic. This means that even if you kill your pursuers, you can’t make the travel topic for a week afterwards, this is to make sure that you haven’t missed anybody and to ensure that there is a realistic response time period for those who wish to respond.
- Concerning topics that do not specifically and directly imply no killing, if you are in a lethal situation or at threat for a lethal situation, and you fail to post within one weeks time (unless you have a legitimate excused site absence that is approved by a Staff member who will then post stating the date the person must reply by instead) your character will be killed by whomever poses this immediate threat. This includes post edits, should you make an inappropriate or God-modding post, then you have 1 week from the post date to edit. If more than one edit is required, this drops down to 3 days from the previous edit. If you fail to edit within this time, you are considered as making no post or you will be killed by whomever poses a threat. This rule applies Off-RPG as well.
- Posting order, follow it. If someone wishes to be skipped, they must have nothing pertinent to do or say and then must post that they wish to be skipped. If you wish, you may post an R, or the word Response in your topic name which states that you wish to use the Response Post rules. Response Posts are best used when multiple characters are within a topic and are fighting, Response Post means that when an attack is delivered, the target(s) are allowed to post, regardless of order, to respond to it. If this happens more then once, as in you make a Response to a Response, then anyone may interject between attacks to post. This can include thoughts or comments on the battle, interruptions, or battles with other persons. You cannot have more than one set of Response chains (response to response) in one topic, if you have more than one, you will need to split into multiple topics. If you do not specify an R in the topic, you may not use Response Post rules.
- Any post that is deemed as inappropriate for a person’s rank can be voided. The first offense is often a suggestion to edit, once the edit is complete, the topic may resume. If this occurs a second time, then the person’s rank may be called in question, along with a post edit. If you are found undeserving of your current rank, you will be demoted and required to make an application for the designated lower rank. If you fail to do this, you cannot use your current character until it is done, this applies to both if you have two. If you fail to do this within a month’s time, your character will instead be killed with a majority Staff vote, often via natural disaster or accident though other methods may be used.
Each rank should post according to the following guide. This is not a necessity, and you may post above or below if the topic would permit it (ex. If someone else in the topic only posts 200 words, it’s hard to respond in 400.) Here are the numbers:
Academy Student: 50 words
Genin: 100 words
Chunnin: 150 words
Jounin: 250 words
S-Rank: 350 words
Kage/Leader: 450+ words
- When you make a post and use jutsu, you MUST post the jutsu used directly from your application to that post, typically in spoilers. It is best to post them in order of use, but not necessary. If you post a jutsu that you do not have on your application, and you are caught doing this, your post will be voided, or the whole topic may be.
- Concerning chakra, please be aware of your chakra limits. Each rank only has so much chakra and Staff hears numerous complaints concerning this topic, so we’d like to make it much more clear about what we expect as far as jutsu per rank. Before that however, we would like to clarify that each rank mentioned is a total in of itself, when it says 5 E and 7 D, it doesn’t mean you can do both, it means that’s how many of that rank you can use before you would run out of chakra. This is NOT a point system, so its variable, but be realistic and don’t stray too far.

Academy Student:
5 E
3 D

Genin:
10 E
7 D
4 C

Chunnin:
25 E
15 D
10 C
5 B

Jounin:
- E
- D
15 C
10 B
3 A

S-Rank:
- E
- D
20 C
17 B
7 A
2 S

Leader/Kage:
- E
- D
- C
25 B
15 A
5 S

Note that there is a very high difference between ranks, that’s how its supposed to be. Also, S-Rank jutsu are forbidden jutsu of immense power, we’ve seen people toss them around like play things for ages. S-Rank means S-Rank, they have an incredible chakra cost.

Second Character Rules
1. Your second character MUST, AND MUST, Be lower ranked than your current character!!! If you are an S Rank [Most of the time, Akatsuki, ANBU and S Rank Missing Nin], you are allowed to make a Jounin and below. If you are a Jounin, you are allowed to make a Chuunin or a B rank or below. If you are a Chuunin you are allowed to make a Genin or C Rank or below.

2. You MUST have been on this site for AT LEAST three month, you haven't then you will have to wait. [Special permission may be given.]

3. Your second character MAY NOT AND CANNOT be a:

- Uchiha
- Hyuuga
- Kaguya
- Jashin

These clans/religions fill up fast, and we need to keep them open so everyone will have a chance to use them.

4. If your first character is a Missing Ninja/Criminal, your second character CANNOT be a Missing Ninja. If your first character is a village ninja, your second character CAN be a Missing Ninja/Criminal.

5. If you are a Genin or below and you would like to make a higher ranked ninja as a second character, simply PM me or any admin an RP Sample and the rank that you would like, and we will decide.

6. NO RPING WITH YOUR OWN CHARACTERS! That means your second character cannot RP with your first one, this can be an exception in SPECIAL CASES.

Travel

The following is a guide on traveling in villages, out of village, between villages, etc.
traveling from one village to another has to happen in order for people to get around. normally it would take days to travel from one village to they other so in order to speed up the process we have set up a travel system that hopefully everyone will enjoy and make things run a little faster.
1)If the village is just one day away then just put an rp about how you got their. If the village is say 2 days away then split your rp into 2 sections one for each day.
2) Each character in the travel must put in at least 100 words before you can get to your destination.
3)Traveling across more than one country has a special set of rules. If you not intend on stopping within a country and are moving to another, you must make another post WITHIN THE SAME TOPIC. Assuming no one else has entered the topic due to your traveling across possibly hostile countries, the following is required in a seperate post PER COUNTRY TRAVELED ACROSS.
4)If you make a topic and are traveling but decide that you no longer need to travel, a travel time in order to return to your destination is also required. You must post a 200 word reason why your character has decided to turn around.
