Hi there, so, I'm introducing myself. Discovered SLO just a few hours ago and been interested since then. My username means "reencarnation" in japanese. Just a fanboy of Orochimaru's in Naruto Series. Anyways, not much to learn about me, but anyways.

Hi there, I'm new around SLO. I've been searching through forums about a couple of doubts I've been holding for my self, so here it goes.

First one:
- Type of game SLO will be.

This one may be one of the biggest ones. I know there won't be deathmatch for too long, but I've to ask. Will it be a open world/pve/roleplay type of game? If yes, I've been searching around and I've seen a lot of quotes that was made, saying the "kages" and a lot of important characters will be played by players itself. How will it be possible? In my experience with open world games, roles such as kages, senseis and quest holders, play better when it comes from a NPC character. I think it would simplify a lot the whole world SLO is trying to create. Hope you guys leave some good responses and suggestions within my own.


- Character Customazion and Getting Started in SLO;

Also one of my biggest doubts. Will there be a option to customize your own character, such as clothing and details? (eyes, face painting and scars, wraps, fishnets, coats/dresses and kimonos, things like that), or will there be any "default" type of outfit in the beginning?


- Villages, Clans and Chakra natures.

In the beginning, everybody is talking about creating their own clans and such, but, wouldn't it be better if the developers set a list of existing clans in the game? That way, would be much easier to follow the steps and chakra nature every clan holds. I know a lot of people already have projects about clans, but I don't think it would be good for starting. I think it would be really, really better to have clans already signed by developers in the beginning, the more important ones, like y'all doing with the villages. Do a research in each village y'all are going to be signing as default, and add the most "important" clans of the villages, and example, Konoha has Senju and Uchiha, things like that.


- Jutsus

Playing the pre-alpha, I've experienced some difficults with memorizing jutsus and adapting myself to the hit system, which is really hard. I've seen a lot of people counting on genjutsu in SLO, but common, will it really be implemented in-game? I mean. Taijutsu and Ninjutsu would be easy to do, but genjutsu would be really OP in-game, since it's allucionation stuff. My suggestion is to restrict it for only those two. I'm being careful, since a lot of people enjoy genjutsu here, including myself, but I don't think it will fit the atmosphere of the game, since it's something that requires a lot of programming and such. You guys decide it.


- Open world and scenario.

Are you guys basing SLO strictly to Naturo's scenario, or will it be everything "fresh"? I've seen either a lot of posts that programmers are saying there won't be the "real villages" and stuff like that. So, it's everything just based on? For an example, Konoha won't be Konoha, it will be another village?

Well, these are my questions, I apologize for a lot of ortographic and grammar mistakes, but I've tried to make it more transparent as possible. Hope y'all get some really good suggestions out of it and do an open-friendly discussion about it.
