Specialty System
Here on our site, we define a ninja by what they specialize in. Ninja use different styles of combat, and use different ways they go about combat, so we have given them a system that allows for freedom in choice of how one wishes to create there character, but also limits it so one can not be a master of everything and anything. We find this system to be in a good balance with the rest of our site, and find it to be a decent, responsible and worthwhile system for ninja to get to know and understand.
Use of Levels
On our site, we make use of levels or tiers, which differentiate skill between the users. There are three basic tier's, and one additional one that is only earned upon reaching S-Rank. They are, Specialist, Sub-specialist, mastered and mastered+. With Mastered+ respectively being the one reserved for those who obtain S-Rank status. We believe this system offers flexibility and a variety of options, but at the same time, takes small conservative steps towards limiting a character's overall growth.

How it works?
If one follows the track, we have listed 2/3 Different options, color coded for your convenience. Each ninja, starting out makes a choice of how they wish to progress there character, we will use genin as it is the most basic example.
We have listed below that, in a spoiler, what one can do at each time they rank up. Its important to note, that ranking up is DIFFERENT than starting at that rank, and people who rank up will have different options/tracks they can take, its a bonus/perk of ranking up.
