I think I may have to agree with your thoughts, Annie, regarding the Tailed Beasts.  If no one objects to them being NPCs in this game, that is?<br/><br/>Also, after sleeping on it, I think I am going to make it so that the Team Leader is an NPC as that would allow better interactions between the team themselves.  After we've all created our CS's and everyone has agreed to what they see, we'll decide on what sort of leader that we want for the team.<br/><br/>Speaking of the teams:  Each major village, after the ceremony is over, will have 4 'Task Forces' each.  Those chosen to be selected in each force have reasons, whether they were given the reason or not (Who knows, maybe a certain village leader dislikes someone despite that person's ability and takes a gamble to get them out of the village).<br/><br/>That said, I am liking what I am seeing so far!  I haven't read though every little detail, but I do like what I see.
