April 18th Update!

[Fujiwara Asuka]

All right, a few things have changed since the update yesterday.

Firstly, I closed the Activity Check early because everyone that I knew was active had posted. The other two have a week before their accounts are deleted and any canons they might've had opened up for someone else to take.

In regards to open canons, there is now a spot for Tsunade open. I have decided against taking her on as a character and I am taking on another one of my originals instead for a plot that one of the members brought up with me. You know who you are : ) And as a result, we are out of a Hokage. For now, I will NPC her in any threads she is possibly needed in - mostly Naruto's homecoming thread - and until someone does end up taking her on she will be NPC.

There are also a few characters we will need for the next plot. They are the following:

• Maito Gai [Possible temp by Joshua?]
  
• Rock Lee [Possible temp by Joshua as well?]
  
• Kisame [or someone that would be willing to temp him, at least.]
  
• Sai
  
• Chiyo [Can be NPCed]
  
• Gaara [Can be NPCed]
  
• Kankuro [Can be NPCed]
  
• Temari [Can also be NPCed]

We would also like to fill the spots of Orochimaru and Juugo as soon as possible. We have the spots of Karin and Suigetsu reserved for two people at the moment, and Sasuke is currently taken. While we will not need them until later on, the part of the plot after the Sasori fight against Chiyo and Sakura will need to be played out. For that, we will need Orochimaru and Kabuto for sure! Juugo is just to fill Team Hebi for afterwards, as most of the spots are already filled. As well, filling most of the Akatsuki spots would be great as well. Currently, Pein, Konan, and Hidan are taken, Deidara and Sasori are in acceptance but will be finished, and Zetsu is reserved. We still need Kakuzu, Itachi, and Kisame.

On a more fun note, the spotlights are now up! Please read the paragraph in the post THOROUGHLY in order to get all of the rules. The rules are as follows:

1) Do not vote for yourself.
2) Post in the thread who you voted for or PM your vote to me on Sakura's account.
3) Only vote once per PERSON, not per account.
4) Any unaccounted or incorrect [rule-breaking] votes will not be counted in the final.
5) The spotlights will remain open until next Friday, and the information should be finished either that day or the following Saturday.

Please have fun in voting!
