Here are a few quick rules, just to keep things realistic (or as realistic as a Manga/Anime inspired RP can get:
1. Your character cannot have a kekkei genkai, a visual jutsu, a summoning jutsu, and super cool taijutsu skillz. That's just not fair. Go ahead and pick one or two of these things. I understand having an Uchiha character who can summon, but don't make an original character with a kekkei genkai, unbeatable fighting skills, and the ability to summon a badass bald eagle. No one's that good, not even Naruto.
2. If you want to be a cannon character, make sure that they are true to character. If you want to play Hinata, that's great. But make sure that you play her meek and shy, with sudden bursts of confidence.
3.Keep your character's rank realistic to age. A 12 year old is a believable Genin, maybe a believable Chunin if he's that good. But he can't be a Jounin. Realistically, I'd say it goes like this: Ages 9-14 Genin. Ages 14-18 Chunin. Ages 18 and over: Jounin or higher. Not a concrete rule, but keep this in mind.
4. You don't HAVE to be a ninja or kunoichi. You can make your character just a person who lives in the village. Like the Ramen Guy.
5. If your character is of the Hidden Leaf, odds are, most of your threads should be there (until the plot thickens...). If you really want to RP in another Village, you have to explicitly state in your new thread why you are there and it has to believable.
Example: Sakura wandered the streets of the Hidden Cloud. She had been sent there by Lady Tsunade herself to do some medical jutsu training with Cloud genin. Tsunade had said something about it being a way to strengthen ties between their villages.
Basically, a Leaf ninja isn't just going to go hang out at another village. It isn't believable. Plus, villages has guards. Good luck explaining how you go around them to the ANBU when they find you.
6. Please keep your Chakra natures to one, unless your character is very talented and older. A Jounin or Kage in their 30s can have more than one chakra nature easy, but not a 17 year old Chunin.
7. Basically, these rules are in place to keep things reasonable. I understand that shinobi and kunoichi are basically superhumans already, but if every character was indestructibly awesome, there'd be no fun.
So go on out and defend your Village!
..... Or infiltrate one if you've gone Rogue.... Have fun!
