[Academy Students]
The academy is where would-be ninja start; they are not actually considered ninja until they graduate. Academy students take formal and practical tests of all sorts and are taught basic ninja skills, such as martial arts, techniques, physical fitness and the way of the ninja. Basic weapon usage, such as kunai and shuriken, is commonly taught. Elementary ninja techniques, though they vary from village to village, are also taught. An Academy Student must know All academy Jutsu + E ranks of their Element or Bokijutsu / Taijutsu before graduating.

Level: 1+
Jutsu: E Rank, Higher if they can find a teacher
Teaching Abilities: None
Extra: May not leave the village unless escorted by a high rank. (Can RPly have a NPC with them if going to RP with others)
Rank Up Mods: None

Note: It is not required to start out as an Academy Student, However if you do then you will gain Permanent bonuses to your character for being willing to put in the time, effort, and Roleplay (It is always required that AS students know all the academy jutsu and sit the academy exam lead by a Chuunin+ of your village or DM, before they may graduate.). On-Graduation you will be granted level 13 (Instead of level 11) and also gain +2 Stats. (Stat refers to a +1 to chosen E.G Wis from 11->12 or Int 8->9.). As well, you will gain a Permanent +1 to all Learning Rolls for the rest of your Characters Lifespan.

[Genin]
Genin 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 the lowest rank and are almost entirely risk-free jobs of manual labor, or experienced genin are sent on C-rank missions, which are a cut above that and begin to verge on real "ninja" work – though they generally have a very low possibility of risk to the ninja involved, especially since their Jounin level sensei often accompanies them. Recently, Konohagakure has been shorthanded in upper-level ninja ever since the attack by Otogakure and Sunagakure, and has been forced to occasionally send Genin on higher-ranked missions, often without the supervision of a Jounin.

Level: 11+
Jutsu: Any they have the mod for, if they can find the teacher
Teaching Abilities: Up to E Ranks that they don't know (Scrolls from Village), Any rank that they know (Must still have mod)
Extra: May go on missions and direct squads if no chuunin is avaialble. Holds rank over genin that are not of their village. (When in their own village.)
Rank Up Mods: None

Note: All Character may Start out as Genin Automatically.

[Advanced Genin]
Advanced Genin are still the lowest tier of official Shinobi, however they are far more experienced then normal. Examples of this would be Naruto, and Sasuke at the end of the 'Naruto' Show, before it became ''Naruto: Shippuden'.

Level: 15+

[Chuunin]
Chuunin are ninja who are qualified to watch over and guide other ninja. Chuunin have reached a level of maturity that primarily consists of leadership skills and tactical prowess. Some of them, like Iruka Umino, function as teachers and others, like Shikamaru Nara, serve as team leaders in charge of small teams who need to make decisions and utilize the skills of the shinobi under their command to the maximum effect. Chuunin are typically sent on C or B-rank missions. To become a Chuunin, a Genin participates in a large examination, known as the "Chuunin Exams," with his or her team. Genin/Advanced Genin must be DM approved for Chuunin, this can be requested of the DM team if you feel you are not noticed, or by competing in the Chuunin Exam event held on the server.

They are elite specialists in their areas and are often assigned as subordinates to regular Jounin when their services are needed. One example of a Special Jounin would be Ibiki Morino. This character's unique ability to completely understand the workings of the human mind makes him a Jounin-level interrogation expert. Ebisu is another Special Jounin that specializes as an elite teacher of young pre-Genin ninja before becoming Konohamaru's sensei in Part II.

They are often sent on A-rank missions, and experienced Jounin may even be sent on S-rank missions (which are considered to be the most difficult). They may also carry out these missions alone. They are sometimes assigned as sensei for three-person teams of Genin. It is as of yet unknown what one has to undergo to become one, although it is mentioned in the Naruto Anime Profiles databook that Jounin are appointed, however there was also a mention of a Jounin exam in the Kurama filler arc. Most Jounin are able to use at least two types of elemental jutsu.

[Kage/S-Rank]
Those who have achieved the title of Kage are the leaders of the five most powerful Hidden Villages and generally the most powerful ninja in their respective villages.

S-Rank Shinobi are just the same, leveled on Par with Kage they are insanely powerful, some even known to be able to take on the Weaker Bijjun without any backup, they are the strongest of Shinobi and the most feared and respected by both allies and enemies alike.
