Rank Up rules and Criteria

In NAP there are 7 different official ranks a ninja can obtain. These ranks are Student, Genin, Chuunin, Special-Jounin, Jounin, ANBU which is equivalent to Jounin rank and Master rank. In addition to these 7, there is one additional unofficial rank known as Sannin rank. The Sannin rank is only a title and may be obtained once you are known by at least three different players IC in every area of NAP. This doesn't mean that you must meet 3 different players in each area, only that your character's actions have made him/her widely known among the ninja world. A reference for this would be the Hidden Leaf's Legendary Sannin or the Hidden Sand's Gaara of the Desert. These are Wanderer and Village Ninja ranks. In addition to these, there are various ranks obtained after becoming or starting as a Missing-nin. These ranks range from E-SS and have the same rules and status as the village ranks for rank up purposes. The rules for becoming or starting as a Missing-nin can be found HERE.

There are multiple ways of ranking up your character. This is so that if for any reason a Village or Village Leader/Kage is inactive, a player will not be stuck at a specific rank. All rank ups must be approved by a staff member. The Rank up conditions will be explained in detail below.







The Jutsu Rank Up condition is pretty straight forward. By following the jutsu rules and obtaining higher rank jutsu you may be ranked up if you haven't already received the appropriate promotion. There are only 2 promotions for this Rank Up condition. They are Special-Jounin rank and Master rank. In order to be promoted to Special-Jounin rank through this method your char must know at least 2 A rank jutsu. In order to obtain Master rank through this method your character must know at least 3 S rank jutsu and one SS rank jutsu. These jutsu do not have to be in one type. You may have any number of different type of jutsu in the specified jutsu rank as long as the total number of jutsu you know meets the rank up condition. Rank up by this method requires staff approval.






Your specific Village Leader or Kage may grant you a promotion of their choice at any time as long as they feel your character has the necessary skills to perform the duties of the rank they are giving you. An exception to this is if the Village Leader or Kage promotes you to a rank you are not yet suited for but they immediately train you themselves for 25 posts of character development and deems you worthy of the new rank. Rank up by this method requires staff approval.






Each Village's Leader or Kage may occasionally post a particularly difficult mission request on their respective mission boards that offer an adequate promotion among completion of the mission as well as the normal mission rewards. All missions posted this way are subject to staff approval and any ninja completing these missions claiming the rank up reward will have the mission reviewed and approved or denied by a staff member. These missions will be limited so if you see one posted and think you are up to the task you should perform the mission before it is closed.







The Traditional Rank Up is the last way you may have your character gain rank. Through this method you will not skip ranks but promoted in order from Student to Master through certain conditions. The conditions for promoting to each rank through this method are listed below.

TO GET KAGE RANK:

In order to receive the Kage rank and become the leader of one of the five great nations you must first meet certain requirements. There is one requirement that absolutely MUST be met in order to obtain the Kage rank while you will need to achieve 3 or more of the other requirements to become Kage. The one requirement you MUST have is you MUST have a GOOD IC reasoning for becoming or wanting to become a Kage. The other requirements are as follows:

If going from Village ninja to Kage of your Villlage you must first:
-Have at least 2 threads or 40 posts of CD with the current Kage
-Have at least A rank stats
-Have the support of over 50% of the active ninja in your Village
-Be hand picked by the current Kage of your Village to be the next Kage
-Be voted in as Kage by majority of the active ninja in your Village
-Take control via a coup de'tat
-Kill the current Kage or otherwise forcefully remove them

If going from Wanderer, Missing-nin or becoming Kage of a different Village than you started in:
-Must be appointed as the new Kage by the current Kage of the village
-Must be sent by the Kage of another Village to become the new Kage
-Must claim the Kage seat via a takeover thread in the Kage chambers of that Village

You do not have to defeat or kill the specified ninja at the same time. They may be spread out over different topics. You must meet every requirement listed to receive the next rank. All rank up promotions of any type are subject to staff approval. When claiming the Kage rank, you MUST meet 3 out of the 7 requirements listed as well as have a GOOD IC reason to become or want to become the Kage. A perk to ranking up this way and as a show of your power growing, you are rewarded with a number of free jutsu and stats depending on the rank you receive.

I have changed normal ranks from the E-S system to Student through Master and SS rank has been changed to Sannin. In addition, Missing-nin have been added and have a separate rule thread. Missing-nin ranks are E-Rank Missing-nin through S-Rank Missing-nin with SS staying the same. Please adjust your rank on your stat page accordingly. Thank you.
