Rank-up Guide

There are many ways to increase your shinobi level, but don't be mistaken. Shinobi skill and Shinobi rank are two separate things. Skill determines your overall stats, skill points for specializations & elements. Rank determines your responsibilities and privileges in the village. Just because you have 8 Strength, doesn't mean you go straight to Special Jounin. You are still a Genin unless you meet specific standards!

It is unique for each village, for there can only be one kage at a time. The kage's role and responsibility is to protect and govern the village and its shinobi. A kage has complete control and authority over the village and its shinobi. Kage give missions, promote worthy shinobi to various ranks, decides how village RYO & Resources are to be spent for their village and their shinobi. As a Player Character Kage, these are all IC & OOC responsibilities. Failure to follow these duties may result in your character being demoted or even executed.

Missing-Nin

Missing-Nin is a title given to a specific sort of shinobi. These shinobi have in some way, broken a law or betrayed their village. Whether it is from an action such as killing a fellow village shinobi, stealing a forbidden scroll, or something as simple as leaving the village without proper permission and/or not returning. Unlike the above ranks- Missing-nin is a title AND a rank. Being that they are no longer part of any village system, they are not bound by laws or limitations. A shinobi may leave their village at any level or any rank, but it is recommended that you wait till you have enough power to defend yourself. Be warned however, that being a Missing-nin has as many disadvantages as they do advantages.

Advantage:

Become a Missing-Nin at any level or rank.
Not bound by village laws.
Not bound by mission requirements.

Disadvantage:

Missing-Nin are awarded a Bingo amount equal to their current rank(Increases as they grow stronger or perform missions).
Missing-Nin cannot lower their own Bingo(Their Bingo only increases)
Missing-nin cannot freely enter villages(They can enter villages through territories under siege by NPCs however).
Missing-Nin who enter villages can be attacked by anyone wanting to collect their Bingo Bounty.
Bingo Bounties are fairly common knowledge, due to being placed on a "wanted list" AKA the Bingo book.
Missing-Nin users who make threads cannot make private threads(Anyone may enter their threads).
