Apparently I forgot to post these, and I will for get again sooo... Little Goddess concept, Star-as-Goddess concept, Hauyne and Sphalerite being waifus, Sanguine and Nambulite also being waifu-like, Tiger Iron in too modern a sweater, and Matcha with her hair long trying to look like someone else. \o/

You know, those desolate sand costumes really reminded me that I really want to see MC outfits released representing different villages. Where is my Sunagakure Breeze Dancer… I need her so bad…

I’m not sure if you’ve gotten a question like this or not, but what villages would you assign all of the MCs outside of Konaha? I personally think there’s room to mix and match depending on what skills you equip your MCs with. Just wanna hear your thoughts!

I love this question, and for real, Suna Breeze would be so cool and even current canon-adjacent. I must say I haven't thought about this before, which is why it took me so long to answer. I had to re-read the wiki to see if I could come up with anything. It's long so I'm putting the answers under the [read more]!

The easiest answer based on their main and/or secondary elements would be: Azure - Kirigakure, Breeze - Sunagakure, Crimson - Iwagakure, Midnight - Kumogakure, and Scarlet (secondary Earth element) - Iwagakure. I remember some fanworks implementing this system (while Scarlet was usually left to be from Konoha), and always enjoyed the chaos following having so many differently raised teenagers interact with each other.

The other answer would be a mix of Orichara-era choices and some canon? In the cases of Azure and Breeze who were listed as from Konoha I had to find other hints to follow - for Azure it was her main work material, for Breeze her powers and origin. In the cases of Crimson (suspected Orichara origin, beta design) and Midnight I worked with their beta designs.

Azure from Kusagakure - (through Orichara) associated with cotton, she's listed as also preferring to use genjutsu. She is portrayed as rather kind and cheery, thus the choice from a less violence-prone village. Being from Kusa also makes her an ally to Konoha and possibly supplies her main material of choice.

Breeze from Kirigakure - Orichara gave her water/ice powers (based on her Tsurara (yōkai) origin - it's actually super interesting to see where most of her traits started off from) and so Kiri (thinking back to Haku's powers) seems like a decent match.

Crimson from Iwagakure - the suspected Orichara paints Crimson as an apprentice of an architect master. That combined with the contrast between their ages (16 vs 92) somewhat brings up an image of an Iwagakure shinobi (I'm thinking here of the Akatsuchi and Ōnoki team up). On the other hand, based on his beta design, Crimson's clothes (color palette, style) and appearance pretty much align with Kumogakure's. I like how he was given a more serious air, with his neutral expression and a scar over his left eye.

Midnight from Kumogakure - his old sword looks somewhat like Darui's Cleaver Sword (and in one of the images you could also argue that he looks a bit like him?). It's also interesting to note just how consistent his design is with the lightning element. My second pick would be Kirigakure since the sword loosely matches the village's weapon designs. Midnight also has his Bloodthirsty Demon skill, which plays well with his bounty hunter profession if taken in the context of “death matches for Kirigakure Academy graduation”.

Scarlet from Amegakure - another Orichara choice, and a peculiar one with him defecting. I like this pitch because despite being from Ame (which does suit his later-given genjutsu abilities), his main element is wind (also uses water and earth releases). He's also described as longing to join the Akatsuki, how interesting.

And then the synthesis of the above mixed with just some fun choices and other biased canon picks for my maximum enjoyment:

Azure from Kirigakure - a kind character from an infamously not kind land; I really like thinking of Azure as kind despite the circumstances, as in making her caring and curious personality an active choice instead of sth that just happens to her. She is also known for loving fish (fish dishes?), and after skimming through "ideal conditions for growing cotton" maps the choice (baring Konoha) was between Suna and Kiri, so... I'm making this list alphabetically, but this choice is also fuelled by the interest in seeing the contrast between how she turned out vs Midnight.

Breeze from Sunagakure turned Otogakure and defecting (and going back to Suna?) - see, I'm such a ride or die for the headcanon that Breeze did work with Orochimaru at some point in her life (whether voluntarily is a different matter but I do like all answers to this). It makes her traveling the world thing have more flavor, and her ending up in canon in Konoha is also soo conflict-inducing. This way, her strong personality and intelligence would be crucial to her forming alliances. Also after so many changes, I think her canon judgment of good and evil is sth quite worthy of careful dissection.

Crimson from Land of Flowers - he is so incredibly kind and loves plant cultivation. Since Land of Flowers was caught in conflict with Iwagakure and saved by Kumogakure it also puts Crimson in a nice intersection of possible skills and appearances (his darker skin is similar in appearance to other Kumo shinobi, his earth release skills - Iwa's, his drive and need to protect others born from the conflict?). But generally I just really love the image of Crimson cultivating flowers ;w;

Midnight from Kirigakure - I like it when someone's main elemental release doesn't match the Village's majority and Midnight's bloodlust and skills are more compelling to me than his other traits, I guess. The fact that Village of the Bloody Mist's reputation would line up well with his personality of a loner and not much of a talker is also fun. There are also some thoughts on how lightning powers would be amplified by an environment rich in water.

Scarlet from Ame (defected) - the whole setup made from Orichara is just so good. It gives him a motive, gives him freedom (something he seems to be struggling with a lot in canon - loyalty vs personal beliefs), and so many directions to grow into. And I love how he's good with drawing and scrolls, and how it's probably the happiest and (arguably) least burdened Scarlet we've ever seen (he's described as having many interests and being able to solve conflicts with his smile).

I was using Novel AI to create Revenant Liu Kang, and it happened by accident.

I really liked this look, so I was able to fine-tune it. Novel AI is perfect for outputting as a prompt. There are rights issues, but when I create a character, I usually refer to the motifs of existing characters. Despite the controversy over i2i, I think Pronto is pretty much the best way to use Novel AI. References for character depiction, details that the general public pays attention to, etc. And I am the devil introduced at the most noisy timing in Japan.😈

Short answer: naruto online is a deeply unserious game when it comes to the protags’ integrity with canon

Long answer: The protagonists have some lore but even within the game content and advertisements a lot of their interactions with canon characters can be contradictory. In theory, every protag is on Team 7 with Kakashi (how is this solved in game-verse where the player is supposed to be maining the one true protag but the rest also exist? *shrug*). Then again, one of the official videos implies that in game canon they are spread across other teams including the Sand Siblings (Breeze).

H u h so I didn't post... anything... for a while again. Oopsie. BIG rkgk dump this time. The no scanner and bad tendons life is sure something lmao.

@corgigem and I be back on the bullshit with porting the OCs into Hellaverse, as you do, so...!

Succubus Tiger Iron, looking particularly like Sunset Shimmer, and Nambulite ruining my life by being an Ars Goetia because they're just Phenex/Phoenix... Some of Nambs' contracts include a badger witch lady, Camellia, and two fox girls, Tsubaki and Chahua, who we will differentiate by hairclip and fur color if I ever draw them again lmao.

Babey Boy Bugsy obviously went to Heaven for reasons--Sweet Pea is up there too, but Lavender Candy is a succubus/Ars Goetia hybrid for looking like her future adopted siblings reasons.

Fashion! Fashion for Sike's lad, Kay, and older fashion for Nambulite, and my first pass at this bird nonsense for them. And then older/slightly older Tiger Iron before regeneration, Jasper and Matcha, and Oath!Pearl.

What are each of the Naruto Online Protagonists backstories?? I wasn’t aware they had any, or if they had a lot of profiles with that listed their own attributes. If you could describe them or provide a link for me to check them out I would really appreciate it!

This is kind of a complicated question, mainly because they are split into: the Orichara contest versions, the first beta versions, the second beta versions (some info on them was retconned), and the current game version (the question is whether browser and mobile count as the same or canon divergence XD). There is also the scrapped intro cinematic video where the protags are kids in the Ninja Academy who seem to be friends? It's honestly a mess that doesn't add up a lot of times unless you follow exactly one version and disregard everything else.

I've been working on a spreadsheet/masterpost on all kinds of canon info available for each protag but it's still being put together and has some personal commentary... Please feel free to take a look at it though 😅

You can also go through the #character trivia tag for more details!

A condensed version would be:

Azure Fang - she is determined to cure illnesses of the world and specializes in medical jutsu and chakra control. She's compassionate, curious, lively, and often shows her cute/girlish side. Despite being a medic she also readily uses poisons. In fights, she's shown to favor her tantō. Her mobile voice lines suggest that she's rather casual with others when at work and socializes easily.

Breeze Dancer - she's said to be a "royal sister type" and a few of the game ads have suggested her being in some way tied to Sunagakure and the Three Sand Siblings. Interestingly enough her nindō is intertwined with Orochimaru (although they don't seem to be on good terms). She has travelled a lot and thanks to that gained a mature outlook on society. Breeze is the only one who is vocal about having a distinction between good and evil, it seems to be one of her motivations for fighting. She fights using her metal fan, multiple clones, and seduction tactics (on men). Funnily enough, she prefers the company of girls.

Crimson Fist - he's liked and trusted by others and looks more mature than his age would suggest. He specializes in taijutsu and close combat. Crimson is a calm guy who cares for his friends a lot and trains hard to be able to protect them. He also likes to cook and garden, and occasionally sass at the other guys (usually to show off his manliness). Nothing is known about his clan but he has the wood release and a kekkei genkai.

Midnight Blade - younger by one year from the rest, works as a bounty hunter, knows an ANBU skill (up to interpretation whether he just picked it up from someone or was/is in the organization), and fights mostly using kenjutsu. He's cold, not talkative, and pragmatic, his main motivator seems to be money. His ideal setting is a 1v1, when faced with more opponents he loses his advantage. Despite being very professional and concentrated while on duty, he has been, in fact, portrayed as disliking work.

Scarlet Blaze - his lineage is connected to the Uchihas (not said to what degree), he also experienced a clan massacre, it's unclear if he's the last survivor or has some living relatives. He's calm and collected, hardworking, pragmatic, interested in all kinds of the world's ninjutsu, and aware of his good looks. Prefers to engage with opponents by his genjutsu first, and is good at finding their weaknesses. Preferred weapons seem to be kunai but he has been getting some variety with the latest skins.

I'm also putting the relevant profiles under the cut:

^ Above are presented the beta profiles (longer and shorter versions)

^ The more detailed profiles released on the official forum website and in-game

^ My Ninja Way intro screens with each character's phrase in the bracket
