well then i'm screwed (only has medic techniques)

Medical is the best to have, better for Ofensive and defensive tatics.

wat i mean to say is i'm still only have healing techniques, havent trained any real offensive stuff such as ninjutsu or taijutsu  

[Eris5]

I like it. Bring it, I say.

It does suck for me, though, cause I pretty much have my foundation in Genjutsu, which won't be useful in this arc... I might just hide under a rock...  

[Kunesume2]

or use your genjutsu on npcs or to hid yourself.

By complete darkness do you mean no light from the stars and moon? Sorry for being so nit-picky about details, but I got confused when you described it as both a constant state of night (which would have light, even if it's a lot less than the light present during day) and complete darkness sweatdrop .

Also, I just want to be sure, but building a fire, using the chakra hikari no jutsu, using a lightning jutsu, or anything similar won't create any light?  

[Novoa_Dragon]

I was actually going to ask the same thing lol

Wups.

Oh! I forgot to mention one thing!

No one can enter the World Within! It'll only be able for entry to uninvited RPCs near the end of the arc! There will be NO metagaming knowledge in this arc. There is absolutely no possible way to know who or what is behind all of this. If I see any single person saying something like "oh, it's the Madking" before anything legitimately educational happens, I will remove your character from the arc completely. It won't be able to RP until the arc is over. I am serious.

No one can die in this arc; if you die, you wake up in the World of Nightmares. I will stage individual plots for each person who dies. Even if you're not killed due to the arc, you'll be revived here. Even if you die in the World of Nightmares you'll just start over. This is meant to incite chaos and have people attack each other in masses; the Madking's own little device for fun.

Shane...if we're not to metagame knowledge, how do you expect to incite madness when we dont know we'll be revived?

You wouldn't know. So people will struggle to survive, because they don't know that they'll just come back. However, normal civilians will not come back; even though that's sort of irrelevant. Only shinobi will actually be revived (that applies to Academy Students and retired shinobi as well).

@Kagetsu: Good question. There are constant particles rising up from the ground that seek to ruin human advances upon the darkness. They don't just infect food with a dull taste, they dim light. They'd begin to weaken and weaken the fire until it's black again. However, they won't do anything to any techniques during battles; the Madking is here to make people desperate, not to bias himself against elements.

The world isn't completely black; there is light from the moon (it's hidden constantly by clouds, though). Indoors, it's almost pitch black, though. A lightning technique would probably light things up brightly as it passes, yes. So it could be a temporary relief from the darkness.  

[zeth-sama]

fun fun  

[jedimastersonic]

well crud i could have fun making coco do twenty nightmares at once XD  

[HeadlessKoko]

About the clouds, is it possible to fly over them?  

[Sergeant Bloodhound]

My guess to that would be no, but I'm not crew, so feel free to disregard.
Anyway, just killed a bunch of crazy villagers for training posts twisted . I can finally kill freely, how wonderful!  

[Sorgaren]

Kageko, the arc is meant to inspire a feeling of madness and fear-ish stuff, methinks. So I would think it'd help the roleplay along if everyone were fair about it. With that, I would say no. But that's okay. Kageko will be even cooler with more interesting. ;D  

[Gardeford Superior]

shane if i plastered a gennins head on the wall in total darkness would "kleine" kill me?  

[l_Valkyrie_I]

So blood cuases light? Can't some one just get a scratch/morally wounded in battle and then all of sudden "LIGHT! OMG!!!WTF?!...I'm magic!" Or do they have to be dead?

On another note YES! AND ARC ABOUT MADNESS! Oh how I love it! ~<3 What's gonna happen once the darkness clear? Will the colors they once love be inverted? Shall it rain Kuani? OO OO!!! HUGE rabbits with fangs and gattling guns for ears!? Or maybe justu's turn out work totally wrong?!I'm just hoping that this will get more exciting fast and it's not really a nightmare arc lol. <3 Thank you for making an arc based around insanity! Fricking love it!
