The Basis
So you're making a character; this guide will help you through the creation of applications and how to get approved with a nice green stamp.
Name: Here is where you place your NAME; for these examples we'll use Kakashi Hatake Pre-Shippuden.
Age: Here is where you state the AGE of the character; Kakashi is 26.
Gender: This is where you state your GENDER, male or female. Kakashi is male.
Height: How tall is you character? Place that here. Kakashi's HEIGHT is not stated but his is around 180cm tall.
Weight: How much does your character weigh? Place that here. Kakashi's WEIGHT is not stated so we'll hazard it at 68kg.
Appearance
Appearance: Here you place your appearance. This needs to be done in a written form. A picture is nice to have along with it but it's not necessary. It doesn't have to be too long but do place enough to allow others to conjure up an image of your character in their mind.
Hair: Here you describe your hair. Try to place it's colour, length and style.
Eyes: Here you describe your eyes. What colour are they? You could go the extra mile and state their shape too.
Body: Here you describe your body type. Examples include things such as slim, bulky, muscular, toned, large ,etc.
Ethnicity: Here you state you ethnicity whatever it may be.
Personality
Personality: Write up your personality here. There's all sort of things you can add here. What were they like when they were younger, are they serious about all they do or are they relaxed and laid back. Do they have unusual views or opinions on certain matters? How do they interact with their peers and foes? How do they act around the opposite or same gender? Are they introverted or extroverted or perhaps ambiverted? Do they have temper? Any favourite things they like to do? Do they have a preferred animal? Do they like to play pranks on people? Do they have things they hold dear? Do they have OCD? Do they like to drink? Do they like the heat or cold? What's their attitude to strangers like. Do they have a good work ethic? Do they have any fears?
There's many things you can put here, just remember Genin require one paragraph, Chuunin two, Jounin three and ANBU and Kage require four.
Background
Background: This is you background, your life story, the years of time leading up to the current day. People often place things in arcs, writing about when they were a small child, in the academy, as a Genin and so on so forth. It's nice to say you trained hard and were touted as a super ninja and soared through the Chuunin exams but it's great to add an original flair to it. Why not talk about what lead to you becoming a Genin, meeting new acquaintances, any special events, things that created desires, people you liked. Visiting places, having babies; whatever floats your boat.
Also remember not everyone has a tragic story. Many ninja have their parents and grandparents and friends all alive and well and happy.
Ninja Information
Rank: Your rank goes here. If there is an open spot which can be checked in the Shinobi Roster you can apply to be a Genin, Chuunin, Jounin, ANBU or Kage. Genin are always open. Remember the higher your rank the better the application needs to be.
Village: The village you want to join is placed here, you cannot start off as a missing ninja. The villages you can apply for are: Konohagakure, Sunagakure, Iwagakure, Kumogakure and Kirigakure. All these villages have unique jutsus available exclusively to them.
Fame: For the time being this is not necessary to fill in.
Infamy: For the time being this is not necessary to fill in.
Title: The nickname or moniker you go by and are known by. This will be more widely spread across the various lands when you gain fame or infamy which will be later implemented
Bloodline: Your bloodline or kekkai genkai. This is where you state what bloodline ability you possess. An example is the Sharingan, the bloodline of the Uchiha or the Byakugan, bloodline of the Hyuuga. Others include the ability to use advanced elements such as the Kazahana's Ice Release. Bloodlines are unique to villages so check what villages have which bloodline before applying; for example the Sharingan is limited to only Konohagakure ninja. Having a bloodline is optional and not necessary. If you do choose to have a bloodline though it will count as a Major Special Ability (Major SA). Clans which use hidden techniques such as the Nara's shadow techniques or the Inuzuka's ninken techniques count as a Minor Special Ability (Minor SA).
Element: The element you possess goes here. You can choose to start with up to one element unless your bloodline allows you to possess multiple elements which is the case with most advanced elements. You can add an extra element with a Major SA.

If you have a stat boost in you SA you need a negative equal reduction in your weakness section.
