Nin Online Staff Recruitment

[Helladen]


**Introduction**

We are looking for skilled individuals that are willing to dedicate themselves in getting better and working on astounding projects at an indie level. While we want people who are talented and experienced, something that is so much more important is dedication and passion, so don't hesitate if you have these characteristics. We believe in making games for fun and getting better over making a paycheck since you know only good people make it in the industry or corporations with lots of money to throw.

_This game is commercial and aimed at making money. We eventually plan to go through **Steam Greenlight** and possibly **Kickstarter** to fund a more sophisticated engine._

**Concept**
**Nin Online** is a 2-D MMORPG, set in a universe inspired by **Naruto**. We're kind of taking concepts such as naming our villages after an element, but are avoiding using names such as **Konoha**. We're also having a clan called the **Akatuski**, which is a player-ran **Organization** and will be our only name we use from the **Naruto** universe.

What exactly makes this game awesome and not just some fan game that will just get shutdown? Well, we're completely aware of copyright breaches, and are making changes continually to stay in good relationship with the law. We're also going to have an **Organization** of staff members who host events. These events range from very basic ones such as a change in the game world to a battle against a staff member. We also have a huge focus on role-playing, there will actually be events focused around them such as becoming a leader of a village! The staff member's **Organization** will be more powerful than any clan in the game, they reside in a **Spirit Realm** type of area which is where **Chakra** - the game's **Mana** system comes from. This **Spirit Realm** is essentially the realm of God, the power of the world comes from this place, and it is where all that die go. This aspect of God does not imply that God is an entity, but a force of nature that resides over all of the world. This **Organization** will mostly be inspired by death, grim reaper, and other similar themes, and they will be able to control and summon powerful beasts similar to that of the **Nine Tailed Fox Beast** from **Naruto**. **Shinigami** is the current name we plan to call our **Organization**, think of staff members as the villains of the game that players get an opportunity to kill. If they get killed, a new character will be played by the staff member. We can't go fire people when they die!

The two main factions are good and evil (light and dark). Good clans are typically the ones that belong to **Leaf** and **Sand** for example, whereas evil would be ones like the **Akatuski**. There will be choices in the game which allow you to pick your side: good or evil, and your clan when you make your character. You may be able to change your clan later, but that is not yet decided, it likely will be possible though.

_We are not merging **Bleach** with **Naruto** here, you will not be able to become a **Soul Reaper**, but there are many examples of **Shinigami** in [**Naruto**](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Shinigami). We will have different levels of **Shinigami**, and staff members will be the highest level of these **Shinigami** which cannot be summoned by Ninjas._

**Previews**
