I'd like fox pets, would be cute.
Also, they should have different uses. Some could buff their owners, some could pick up loots or some could just fight.
Just ideas I'm throwing out at the moment.
I'll take pride in the many combinations of clothes you can have, and the millions of different looks you can have.
I plan to make them separate items, maybe visual items, but certainly some ninjas will wear them on different parts of their body!
I think you choose an animal familiar, and you companion is a summon, but he stays out as long as he is alive.
On death, he should have a long cool down.
A forum RP has been suggested, but I decided not to make one as I do not want to spend time setting it up and maintaining a forum RP, I could use this time to work on the actual game itself. Sorry!
I'm quite sure Sarutobi gave them their position.
Also, I've been reading through the idea, and I like some of it. But I'm not yet sure how much of it is workable with the system of Kageship I already have planned. To be able to control EXP gain is a little too much.
