Rank Guidelines

The goal of any ninja is to become stronger, and to rank up.

Now, as a little gift to every village we’re giving away freebie slots, this means slots that you don’t have to actually rank up to (otherwise meaning, you’re instantly ranked). The freebie ranks are as follows:

-Available upon request, only.-

*** Note: Please understand that just because you have taken a freebie ranked slot does not mean you will get to keep it. Your ability to keep the spot is based on activity, which does not include being in the chat box. Basically this means you must be actually using the character, unless you can provide a decent reason as to why that is not doable. If you fail to do this then you will lose your ranked spot and it will become free for someone else to be ranked into.

Please understand that the ability to get these freebie ranks will depend on your character application. For each rank you must add 200 words to your base 400 you need for your history.
So this means:

Genin: 400+ Words
Chuunin: 600+ Word
S. Jounin: 800+ Words
Jounin (A-Rank): 1,000+ Words
Kage/Jounin (S-Rank): 1,200+ Words



Chuunin Exams will be held when needed for those wishing to participate to rank up from Genin to Chuunin.

But, you can also rank up through missions and Kage approval.

Genin - Chuunin: 5+ missions, must have 3D, 2C
Chuunin - S. Jounin: 10+ missions, must have 3C, 2B, and Kage Approval
S. Jounin - Jounin (A-Rank): 20+ missions, must have 10C, 5B, 3A, and Kage Approval
A Rank Jounin - S Rank Jounin: 25+ missions, must have 10B, 10A, 1S, and Kage Approval

Before you can rank up you must have at least the following RP IC interaction post limits met.
Genin -> Chuunin: 25 Posts
Chuunin -> Special Jounin: 60 Posts
Special Jounin -> Jounin(A): 100 Posts
Jounin(A) -> Jounin(S): 125 Posts

You must also have trained at least 1 spec and 1 element up 1 rank each before you can rank up. You must also have done at least 5 stat points worth of training or otherwise earned 5 stat points through a squad meeting thread reward.

What this means is that you must have 25 or more posts on the character you wish to rank up before you may do so if you're going from Genin to Chuunin and so on and so forth as you rank up. You will not be allowed to rank until you have the appropriate number of posts. You must still have either the ryo for the rank you're wishing to purchase, or the appropriate number of missions before you can be ranked up as well.
