As If It's Your Last

Past the end of this freezing and looming winter, when tomorrow comes, the bright light will shine. Because the dawn right before the sun rises is the darkest. And like that of a fresh spring day, blossoming with beauty, the world is new again. Living in the shadows of the great generation before them is now the least of their problems... Can these new ninjas step up to their destiny and save the day, carrying the large burden of their families? Or will they be stuck in an unforgiving winter instead of proceeding into a new spring day? Next Generation SYOC Open.

00000

Hello, hello all! I've been a fan of Naruto forever, and recently I realized that there is a lack of SYOCs for this fandom, so I decided to create one myself to add to the lingering amount we have. This is a next generation fic and will revolve around the children of canon characters and new OCs alike, so feel free to create either. Though, this story will mainly center around genin level OCs and their journey through life, but you aren't limited to just 11-13-year-olds, so the choice is yours here. I definitely don't claim to know everything about Naruto, so please correct me if you need to. :)

I won't be using the cast of Boruto for this, and instead, you all will be replacing those characters with your own. If you have any questions about this, then please let me know! The story will start off with most of the children being in the academy, then graduating and getting placed in their teams. The "married couples" are canon, although, you are at liberty to change things around if you would like to, to fit your OC but I can't guarantee that it'll work with the story and I might have to edit things myself. Some of this will be a bit AU just because this is my own story and I want things to work in favor for the OCs, but I'll try to keep things as true as possible to my plot. Good luck and have fun! Let me know if you need help or have questions. This story is purely for entertainment so come up with whatever you like!

Thank you all! for reading and I hope you'll give this a shot! :) I'm working on the prologue right now and I hope to have it posted soon just so you guys can get a bit of a better idea about my writing style and story plot.

Rules-

1. Please only submit your OC through PM only. That's the only way your OC will get accepted. And OC names need to be only Japanese, so please don't name your OC a westerner name, so nothing English. The subject of your pm should be your OC name and the story title. Example: Naruto Uzumaki - As If It's Your Last

2. You do not have to follow or favorite, these are optional, though please try to keep up with my updates. I'd appreciate you following at least though so you don't miss anything.

3. I only want active readers for this story, so please try to review every 2 to 3 chapters if your oc is chosen. If you skip a several chapters, I'll have to remove your OC unless you let me know beforehand.

4. NO MARY-SUES OR GARY STUS. Try to be realistic when creating your OC. No one is perfect, so don't let your OC seem like that unless it's part of your character development/arc. And DON'T SEND ME CARBON COPIES OF THE ORIGINAL CAST!

5. This won't be first come first serve, so please keep this in mind and try your best.

6. You can be related to canon characters since this is a next gen, but try to be realistic about it. That goes for just about any OC, but if you have questions regarding this, then let me know.

7. I don't want super overpowered OCs with literally no weakness. You will not be accepted if this is the case. These are children, they're young and still developing their skills so they all aren't going to be the greatest yet and that's okay. They can grow overtime.

8. Love interests are optional, you do not have to have one, but if you decide to it can be anyone. But remember most of the OCs will be Genin level, which means they'll be around 11 to 13, so most romances won't really come into play until they're older.

If you guys have questions of any kind, please let me know. I really don't mind at all, so either comment below or shoot me a PM. I'm very happy to help!
