I’ve been thinking

Maybe I should make a 2nd character something simple, like a Genin maybe?

Are guns allowed?

sniper!

[Hatake Hiroshi]

You can create as many characters as you feel you can manage, so if you feel like making a genin character, by all means, do so. As for guns... No. There aren't any guns in the Naruto-verse, so naturally, they wouldn't be allowed. We like to stick as close as possible to the original series.

But anyway, if you would like to make a genin character, awesome.

Not to say that a sniper-nin per se is out of the question. I back up Hatake Hiroshi here, in that guns wouldn't be allowed, but certainly, an extremely long range fighter would be interesting. Trying to think of long range jutsu off the top of my head though, and it's not easy, but I could think of someone who uses something like chakra projected needles or something, something to the effect of Haku when he uses his needles in the Demonic ice mirrors, but in your case, from afar, and with more oomph.

Would need some work though, but all I want to say here, is don't neccesarily give up on the long range fighter idea yet, but don't have a gun

[miharu]

a gun like crossbow?

[Sorien]

Not neccesarily, think outside the box here. You don't even have to use an already made weapon, we'll be there to tell ya if we think it's too overpowered. Try something imaginative, from the Naruto universe, thinking about all of the stuff you've seen, what do ninjas use? Shuriken, Kunai, (sometimes) smoke bombs, as well as some katanas, wind blades (as in Asuma-sensei), is it possible for you to adapt one of these weapons for their fighting style, from long range.

to add some more options, I was thinking myself earlier, the character might not even need a physical weapon to achieve a sniper-like role. It's entirely plausible to create a character who utilizes techniques that create and launch chakra-projectiles. I mean, if people can create giant fireballs, floods, clones, etc, why not a chakra 'bullet'/Arrow/etc?


just my sleepy 2 cents!

[miharu]

You two seem to be into this, how about a Clan of snipers?
If there was a chakra bullets/Arrows/etc there would have to be weapons to go with them. They would be to default for a Genin to use otherwise. a Clan of snipers would make sense if you think about it.
