Special Characteristics

Special characteristics are characteristics that give your character traits or abilities that go beyond the norm to allow your character special traits and even abilities. These characteristics are based around one's history and a character's clan/bloodline. These characteristics allow for unique abilities and small quirks. These characteristics can affect your Battle RPs, or even your Social RPs, or most commonly both.


Special characteristics are divided between the three main abilities of being a ninja: skill, physical, and mental. These bases are the three main parts of what makes a ninja themselves and makes up their capabilities to fight.

Chakra based: These Special Characteristics are abilities/skills which narrow into your specialties and your abilities to utilize jutsu's and even gives you greater skill and mastery of many different abilities.

Physical based: Physical aspects of your character such as enhanced speed, strength, dexterity, or regeneration, which other characters may not have.

Mental based: Mental aspects of your character which may include intelligence, stupidity, questionably sanity, and photographic memory, which other character's may not have.

Supplementary Based Characteristics or better known as traits that don't have levels at all. These are the type of characteristics that enhances other characteristics. For example, if the character is blind and if he/she have some sort of tracking ability or sensitive to chakra, then the abilities are heightened to a slight degree. There are mental supplementary that help mental based chracteristics and physical supplementary types that helps physical characteristics
