Housing

An important part of life is having a place to call home. In the world of shinobi, this is equally as important, as a home can not only mean a place of comfort but one of security as well. Homes are also great places for your character's to commune with those they see as friendly. Through this simple guide, you can learn how to create a house and see it built as time passes by in the role-play world.
==Creating a House==
The first part to building a successful house is to plan out how large it will be. To measure this, we will be making use of a unit to measure the smallest amount of space one can buy. This measurement is called a Plot, all Plots are exactly 20x20x10' in width, length, and height. The surface area of this area is roughly equivalent to 1,600 feet. The shape of a Plot can be modified to any extent, so long as the surface area turns out the same. A single Plot of land costs 50,000 Ryō.
Once you've established how many plots of land you will be buying in-character, it's important to organize exactly where everything will fit. It is strongly recommended that you create your own house's floor plan through an image-editing software. Anything will do, but personally we recommend Paint.net for this. If you can not do this, then it would be better to make a separate description from your main description (as that has further influences that will be explained later on) which describes the exact measurements of your house. Now it's time for creating your house's official description!
While images can offer much to the imagination, in the context of RP they are not always the final word on how someone or something may appear. So a description of your house, both inside and out, are necessary when creating it. The intricacies of your house, how elaborate they may be, will not affect their cost. Instead, they affect how long it takes for the house to be built. One plot of land will take one month, in-character, to build. Every sentence of your house's description adds an additional week to building time. So luxurious houses with special paintings, hardwood floors, and so on, will require more time to build.
