After naming your character, you move your cursor up and clicked on the tab in the character design that dealt with facial tattoos. And again, like last time, you add whisker-like marks onto your character's face. After all, the game was not designed so in depth that other NPC characters would make remarks on the strange markings on your face, and they looked awesome anyway.
Due to your choices in storyline, the class you chose has the following starting attribute multipliers for the different calculations of actions in the game:
Ninjutsu: C (2) Taijutsu: D+ (1.5) Genjutsu: D (1) Intelligence: D (1) Strength: C (2) Speed: C (2) Stamina: A (4) Hand Seals: D (1)
To anyone who just started the game, it would not have mattered much. But to you, the first time you played this character, you were heavily influenced by the multipliers. You went and smashed all your attribute points into stamina, hoping that it would multiply into something enormous. Sadly, all of the bonuses you gained with high stamina were just a duplicate of Bijyuu carrier's bonuses. In the end, it took you a long time to reverse the damage you did to your character.
Most people would have quit the game at that time or at least started over. But now that you know how the game mechanics work, you'll have no problem with this multiplier. In the end, it would be your skills that matter more anyway.
You quickly smash in the attribute points that would make your hits deal more damage and increased your strength, charisma and agility points. Chakra and intelligence points could be gained through the early academy training anyway.
You skim over a lot of the more intricate aspects of the game. You're here to smash faces and kick ass, not to read boring details!
Now, you click the start button, which will initiate a cut scene that would be unique to each Origin. With your Origin, the cut scene was a dream of a demon fox…
You feel dampness at your feet, yet you only see darkness. It takes you a moment, but you realize your eyes are closed. At the thought of opening your eyes and seeing, you gain vision of your surroundings. You look down and see your pants soaked to the knees with what looked like putrid sewer water that silently sloshes around with each twitch of your lower limbs.
Another moment passes before you realize you don't hear anything, but all the same, the moment you realize thus, you begin to hear the ripples of the water against the stone walls. A distant rumble causes you to look up from the dark green and brown chucky water. Only the slightest of tingles warn you before the waste water's smell assault your nose. You feel a wave of disgust pass through you, yet even as you are able to suppress the urge to vomit you feel a taste of acid stinging the back of your tongue.
You see that you are in what looks like a dark sewer, with lime colored moss growing on the walls all around you. In front of you, you see a giant cage with only darkness inside. Another rumbling growl pass through the sewers, echoing and causing the very ground you stand on to vibrate.
The ambient noise of the liquids at your feet follow as the roar passes, yet you could only feel a sense of dread. The thoughts that assault your mind are a mix of your own and something far more animalistic. As the terror starts to suffocate you, you notice a tiny slip of paper on the cage, which looks akin to the seals that many of your elders use.
A third roar comes from the cage, yet this time many magnitudes greater than the last. You feel the hot air of the sewers blow against your face as an unfamiliar smell, similar to rotten flesh, splashes against you. This time, you hurl, clutching your stomach as it tightens beyond belief nearly knocking you off your feet. As you try to get rid of the stinging tears that begin to form in the corners of your eyes that come so involuntarily, you see a pair of eyes staring down at you through the cage. Those giant eyes are so filled with bloodlust, an unrealistic feeling to one as young as you. A tremor flows down your spine, and all you could do is… blink…
