CHARACTER

If you're reading this you've just taken your first step to doing it the "right way". It is mandatory that you read these rules because they are the rules that help you create characters properly. If you break them you'll be penalized. Consider yourself warned. Everything highlighted orange is very important material.

NINJA RANKS

So basically there are 7 Ninja Ranks, which consist of: Academy Student, Genin, Chūnin, Tokubetsu Jōnin, Jōnin and Kage. There is 1 exclusive rank and that’s ANBU. If you’re a member of the ANBU, for your village, it is mandatory that you put this for your rank and "ANBU Member" (or ANBU Taichō, depending on if you’re a captain or not) for your occupation. Your character may start at any rank, mentioned above, except Kage (which has to be gained IC or by sign-up). Samurai have their own seperate ranks: Genbushi, Chūbushi and Jōbushi.

SKILL LEVELS

So basically this is your characters skill level. For the most part this should be the same as your rank (i.e. if you're Academy Student/Genin this should be "Low", if you're Chūnin/Tokubetsu Jōnin this should be "Medium", and if you're Jōnin this should be "High") unless you get a "special" skill level IC or by sign-up. There are 3 "special" skill levels, which consist of: Advanced, Elite and Genius. Kage can also be placed here, but it must be gained IC or by sign-up (unless you lead one of the five great shinobi nations). These skill levels still count for Samurai.

CRIMINAL CLASS

So basically there are 5 types of criminal class, which consist of: D, C, B, A and S. It is mandatory that you have a criminal class if you're a criminal. Your character may start at any criminal class, except S (which has to be gained IC or by sign-up). This is only for Nukenin (lit. Missing-nin) so if you’re not a Nukenin then you’d put "N/A" for criminal class.

RANK UP

So basically this process of getting a Rank Up. If you decide to register for a rank up and it’s not through a exam then your characters skill level would just change, not the rank (i.e. meaning if you’re a Genin and you are granted a rank up, without the Chūnin exam, your rank would still be Genin but you’d be Chūnin skill level).

SPECIALTY

So basically this is what type of Jutsu your character specializes in. There are 3 main types of jutsu which consist of: Ninjutsu, Genjutsu and Taijutsu. There are 3 sub-types of jutsu which consist of: Fūinjutsu, Juinjutsu and Senjutsu. This does not include: Hijutsu, Kinjutsu, Kenjutsu, Kekkei Genkai and Dōjutsu. They are automatically included with your specialty based on what type/sub-type of jutsu they’re based around (i.e. Kenjutsu is based around Taijutsu so if you have Taijutsu as a specialty and you use Kenjutsu then you’d also specialize in Kenjutsu). Tokubetsu Jōnin, and below, are allowed 1. Jōnin (including Advanced and Elite) are allowed 2. Kage (and Genius) are allowed 3.

CHAKRA NATURES

So basically there are 5 forms of Seishitsu Henka (lit. Nature Transformation), which consist of: Katon, Fūton, Raiton, Doton and Suiton. There are advanced types of nature transformation, which require two elements and a Kekkei Genkai (i.e. in order to use Hyōton you’d not only need a Kekkei Genkai based around it, but you’d also need Suiton and Fūton as chakra natures). Even if you have an advanced element it is not to be placed in the nature section of your character.

OCCUPATION

So basically civilian, and shinobi, have jobs. This part of the profile is where you’d put your characters job. This includes things like: ANBU, Chūnin Exam Examiners, Elite Tutor, Council Member, Oinin (lit. Hunter-nin), Iryō-nin (lit. Medical-nin), Ninja Academy Teachers, etc. If you’re a Kage for one of the great shinobi nations, one of your occupations must be your Kage name (i.e. Hokage). You may have more then one occupation.

SIGN-UPS

So we have sign-ups for things such as: leaders, clans and organizations. If you are applying for a special position your character must be accepted in the sign-up thread before you may create the character. Your spot is then reserved for 7 days (1 week). If your character isn’t created by the designated deadline time then your spot will be opened for others to register for.

LIMITED

You may only have 1 character that’s a leader of a village, clan (only two of your characters may be part of a canon clan) and/or an organization. If we find out you created more then one, without staff permission, you will be stripped of your character(s) and privileges.

ADDING THINGS TO YOUR PROFILE

Please make sure that you let us know, in your equipment/jutsu post, where to put your equipment/techniques (in your profile). Make sure you put a second copy (of your techniques) in code form, using , under the original so that all staff must do is copy and paste it in your character profile. You may not have equipment/jutsu added to your profile until after your profile is accepted and your profile must be accepted for equipment/jutsu to be added.
