The Ranking System,
Solid Clone rule
Solid Clone rule
Short :
In short this is the new limitation system we are going to implement. This is both to make it clear what is need to be done in order to be promoted as well to prevent in a better way characters that are OP for their class. Do keep in mind that we are going to use the new promotion (through a kage) with the policy of that the active and hard working people are getting rewarded.
* Keep in mind that the system is relatively new. This means that it might get updated/modified in time. We also will keep an eye to keep things still balanced out. The system overview is simply to act as guideline, though the limitations are now going in. If you have a question, please approach the GM team in person.*
*For now the A and S ranks are still going to be more personally reviewed from how we used to review CS's. Do keep in mind that it doesn't allow these ranks to be much stronger in theory. They will still be bound to what the majority of the GM team deems reasonable!
- The traits and skills are more of a guideline as they can be improved. Its to give a better idea on what is acceptable and what isn't.*

D ranked - Genin
Genin (下忍; Literally meaning "low ninja", Meaning (Viz) "junior ninja") are the lowest level of ninja and also the ones that display the most difference in power. When they become genin, ninja start to do their bit for their village's economy – being sent on missions that the village gets paid for. They are typically sent either on D-rank missions, which are almost entirely risk-free jobs of manual labour, or, rarely, on C-rank missions, which are a cut above that and begin to verge on real "ninja" work that have a very low possibility of risk to the ninja involved. However, they can be conscripted as part of the war potential in times of emergency, such as was the case as in the First Shinobi World War.
Starting Genins often know around six jutsu (2 C ranked and 4 D ranked at max) and just one element (unless they have KG, but remember that a KG can limit your growth!). The traits and skills of a genin are often low, seeing they need to train and/or begin their career as a true ninja.

Limit : 3 good traits at start ( Special - Very high - High - Very good- Good - average - bad - worse etc.)
Limit techs : No B or higher ranked techniques. A total of 8 combat techniques would be enough. Maybe a limit of 2 non combat and 1 clone technique at it. (Still making a total of 11.)
Promote? Chuunin Exam or doing enough number of missions that the Kage is willing to promote it. This involves the Kage to ask it from the GM's and if the majority agrees, the promotion will happen.
C ranked - Chuunin
Chūnin (中忍; Literally meaning "Middle Ninja", Meaning (Viz) "Journeyman Ninja") are ninja who are qualified to guide other ninja and lead missions. Chūnin have reached a level of maturity and ability that primarily consists of leadership skills and tactical prowess. Genin who do not have the skills to become chūnin are weeded out in the chūnin exams. To become a chūnin, a genin participates in a large examination, known as the "Chūnin Exams" or else have completed a good number of missions to be granted a promotion for good service by their leader.
Chuunins are more experienced and based on their performance and amount of training, can have more jutsu, traits and skills. Some chuunins who train a lot or having been doing a lot of missions, gaining enough experience, have gained a second Nature Element.
There are two differences in Chuunin. Experienced and non experienced chuunins.
Non-experienced chuunin ;
- No option yet for non KG-less characters to develop a secondary nature chakra. (the limit for dojutsu characters is either 2 or 3. We need to also think about that, to decide it once and for all)
- A limit of 10 combat techniques, still none higher than B ranked.
- Limit : 1 high trait and 4 good ones.
Promote ? : Train and do missions.
Experienced chuunin :
-Non elemental-KG users can develop one more chakra nature. However as a secondary nature, it will take work and training to ''stabilize'' it. Meaning they can't use better than C ranked techniques for the secondary nature.
- A limit of around 15 combat techniques, only two of B ranked techniques.
-Limit : 2 high traits and 4 good ones.
Promote ? A promotion mission, where a sensei of another team or ANBU goes on a mission with the chuunin. The chuunin needs to lead the mission and according on the performance of the chuunin, will be decided if the promotion will happen or not.
B ranked - Tokubetsu Jōnin
okubetsu Jōnin (特別上忍, Tokubetsu Jōnin; English TV "Special Jōnin"; Literally meaning "Special High Ninja"; sometimes known as Tokujō for short) are ninja who, rather than all-around jōnin training, have jōnin-level ability in a specific area or skill, much like warrant officers in real-world military. They are elite specialists in their areas and are often assigned as subordinates to regular jōnin when their services are needed.
To become a Tobestu Jounin, one has to be an experienced chuunin, serving his/her village for quite some time ( two arcs ) and also have gained some good skill to be promoted. The sensei or an ANBU assigned by the leader of his/her village will accompany on a high ranked mission, where the candidate will lead the mission. The sensei or ANBU is required to stand a bit more in the background, leaving most of the leadership and work to the candidate.
Tobestu Jounin have their field where they are true experts, like on the same level as most Jounin. They often have good traits and some have even three elemental chakra natures, together with strong jutsu.

-Non elemental-KG users can develop one more chakra nature. However as a third nature, it will take work and training to ''stabilize'' it. Meaning they can't use better than C ranked techniques for third nature. However, they will not go higher as C ranked, while if the user has done enough training and put enough effort in it, they can put the limit of their secondary techniques that they can have a limit of 3 B ranked techniques.
- A limit of around 20 combat techniques, only three A ranked techniques.
- Limit : 2 high traits and 5 good ones.
Clone limitation ;
Everybody can learn to make a clone technique, but there is now a limitation on how it can be used, in order to prevent abuse of it to a good extent. For that reason, the new system will support a new way how we can determine on how good one can use a clone technique, such as shadow clone technique.
The skill of the use is based both on rank, chakra and experience (which is often linear with rank). This means that most genin can't make more than one shadow/elemental clone, while if they train their chakra control, gain experience and rank up that they can extend their control. However, due the difference in characters abilities and preferences. However there will be a more stern watch over the use of solid clone techniques!
It is thus safe to follow this suggestion ;
Genins : Max forming of solid clones are : 2
Chuunin : Max forming of solid clones are : 3~4
Higher ranked are often specialized in several fields and have a bigger diversity of chakra control. Consult the GM team in order to see what the result will be. Know that we can't straighten this out and thus have to discuss this with the majority of the team.
