Stats

## Shinobi Stats

Within the shinobi world, there are abilities in which a shinobi has to train, hone, and perfect, in order to better serve their nation. With this, the more proficient the ability, the more capable a shinobi is for battle. With the academy, there is at least an explanation of a given skill, meaning that there will be a requirement of having a ".5" within a given category for any sort of person in order to be a shinobi (Note, even the taijutsu specialist "Rock Lee" had .5 in Ninjutsu, and he couldn't use it). Each point will have a significant meaning to the ability one can use and the power of a given technique. Each skill is listed below for people to have a clear understanding of how points work within the group.

### Acquiring Points

In order to develop your character you need to roleplay out training in a specific stat to gain points for it. So undergoing an intense physical workout regimen will improve your stats that correlate to physical attributes such as strength, stamina, taijutsu, etc. If you decide to spend your time reading through the history archives, you'd improve your intelligence. **If you're training on your own a session of 10 posts of good quality will reward you with .5 points in the stat being worked on. If you decide to train with others, each person in the sessions must post a minimum of 5 posts of decent quality in order to be rewarded .5 points in the stat that you trained in. This is uniform for all shinobi regardless of rank.**

## Ninjutsu

**Ninjutsu** (忍術, *Literally meaning:* Ninja Techniques) is one of the three main jutsucategories. Ninjutsu is the most nebulous of the three and may most simply be described as anything that is not genjutsu or taijutsu. Most ninjutsu require chakra and hand seals, but this is not always the case since the mere usage of weaponry qualifies as ninjutsu. The huge range of ninjutsu's uses is illustrated by its several sub-classifications: medical ninjutsu, reincarnation ninjutsu, space–time ninjutsu,barrier ninjutsu, sealing jutsu, and Cursed Seal jutsu.

0.5- Basic knowledge of Ninjutsu, but otherwise cannot perform it, below academy standards.

((With every .5 advancement after the single digit number, one is able to add a reasonable amount power to his / her attack with Ninjutsu)).

1 - Basic knowledge of Ninjutsu, able to perform Ninjutsu at ranks E to C; considered to be Genin level, able to produce jutsu worthy of Genin level.

2 - Common knowledge of Ninjutsu, able to perform Ninjutsu at ranks E to B; considered to be Chuunin level, able to produce jutsu worthy of Chuunin level.

3 - A bit more advanced knowledge of Ninjutsu - able to perform Ninjutsu at ranks E to A; considered to be Jounin level, able to produce jutsu worthy of a beginning Jounin.

4 - Advanced knowledge of Ninjutsu - able to perform Ninjutsu at ranks E to S; Considered to be true Jounin level and able to wreak havoc on those that usually oppose. At this rank, one is above the average shinobi and tends to shine within this area.

5 - Perfection with Ninjutsu, a professional in this given skill and can use Ninjutsu freely from ranks E to S. With this level of Ninjutsu, one is seen as around Kage level and is more than likely remotely praised for his / her skill within Ninjutsu due to their training and honing of this skill.

## Taijutsu

**Taijutsu** (体術, *Literally meaning:* Body Techniques) is a basic form of techniquesand refers to any techniques involving the martial arts or the optimisation of natural human abilities. Taijutsu is executed by directly accessing the user's physical and mental energies, relying on the stamina and strength gained through training. It typically does not require chakra, though chakra may be used to enhance its techniques. Taijutsu generally requires no hand seals to perform, occasionally making use of certain stances or poses, and are far quicker to use thanninjutsu or genjutsu. Taijutsu is simply put: hand-to-hand combat.

0.5 - Basic knowledge of Taijutsu, but no experience to hand to hand combat.

((With each .5 stat, the ability increases slightly.))

1 - Basic knowledge of Taijutsu, able to do some sort of hand to hand combat, but very little skills with hand to hand. This is seen as Genin-level of hand to hand combat with E to C rank jutsu being available.

2 - Common knowledge of Taijutsu, with different sort of combinations to flow with fighting, with E to B rank jutsu being available. Taijutsu skill is around Chuunin at this point.

3 - With a bit more knowledge about Taijutsu, able to perform Taijutsu at ranks E to A, a shinobi is considered to be Jounin level, able to produce Taijutsu worthy of a beginning Jounin. Their physical skills are powerful depending on their strength and speed.

4 - Advanced knowledge of Taijutsu - able to perform Taijutsu at ranks E to A; Considered to be true Jounin level and able to wreak havoc on those that usually oppose. At this rank, one is above the average shinobi and tends to shine within this area. One also might create different fighting styles, maybe even want to open a dojo to compete with others, with this being said, Taijutsu users of this rank are truly notable.

5 - Perfection with Taijutsu, a professional in this given skill and can use Taijutsu freely from ranks E to S. With this level of Taijutsu, one is seen as around Kage level and is more than likely remotely praised for his / her skill within Taijutsu due to their training and honing of this skill. One might sought after as a master due to the intense regiment one might have gone through in order to perfect their Taijutsu to this level.

## Genjutsu

**Genjutsu** (幻術, *Literally meaning:* Illusionary Techniques) is one of the main jutsucategories which uses chakra. Unlike ninjutsu, the effects of genjutsu are not real, being only illusions experienced by those who fall victim to it. According to theSecond Mizukage, genjutsu falls under the broad category of Yin Release.[1]

.5 - Basic Knowledge of Genjutsu, though someone more than like has to inflict crazy pain in order to escape from sort of a genjutsu, unable to use skill to simply break through it, probably will take longer to notice that he / she is under a genjutsu - (depending on the genjutsu).

1 - Basic Knowledge of Genjutsu, one is able to break through Genjutsu of Rank E to D with ease, and is able to notice genjutsu a bit faster due to their training with it. This is seen as a Genin level skill.

2 - Common knowledge of Genjutsu, with one being able to cast E to C Rank Genjutsu. This is seen as a Chuunin - Rank because of the difficulty to perform. One is able to break Genjutsu a bit easier at this level, depending on the rank.

3 - A bit more advanced knowledge of Genjutsu, with one able to cast E to B Rank Genjutsu. This is seen as a Jounin Rank because of the ability to alter the mind to this degree. Combined with intelligence, people of this rank can make efficient Genjutsu able to ensnare opponents within their mind, nearly forcing them to do physical damage of their bodies. Seen as Jounin rank.

4 - Near top tier of Genjutsu. Very few make it to this level in such a highly difficult level of Genjutsu with being able to cast E to A Rank Genjutsu. The ability to confuse / cloud one's mind and be able to escape Genjutsu that he / she might be caught in is a truly difficult task, with people of this degree, one is able to do way more than the average person, more than likely ensnaring someone of lower rank to the point of near mental destruction, all depending on this skill with intelligence vs, the other person's ability.

5 - Top ranking Genjutsu power, one might say at this level, one is a master of mental manipulation. With Genjutsu being able to be operated at a Kage level, one is able to use E to S rank Genjutsu and can be truly deadly depending on their opponent's efficiency with Genjutsu and their own intelligence.

## Intelligence

The ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills.

0.5 - Idiot. At this level, one lacks the basic mental comprehension for most situations, and probably needs to be held or watched over for their safety, or the safety of someone else's.

1 - The ability to think for themselves, thankfully, and able to work well with others. With this stat, one is seen by others with the mental comprehension to work on a squad and be able to work well with a team. More than likely not fit to lead at this point, but can be a useful follower, and can be rather useful on lower - ranked missions as higher ranked missions may prove to be a problem. (Genin level).

2 - The ability to think a bit more independently, able to assess the world around them a bit more maturely in terms of a shinobi, and is able to decipher different situations more quickly than the average shinobi. With this, this skill at this level is seen as Chuunin rank, with the ability to catch on and perhaps grasp different techniques a little faster than the regular person.

3 - The ability to think for themselves in terms of a mission, and more than likely given seniority to have a squad of their own, as this rank is usually seen as Jounin rank. With this rank, one is able to quickly comprehend decisions of his / her adversaries, and is seen as a capable leader with strategy alone. As they may not be a complete genius, they are trusted to find a way to keep their squad safe, no matter what. If there are two people within the squad with this high of intelligence, they might be able to effectively use their wits instead of their power to change the tide of a mission within their favor.

4 - The ability to think on another degree, able to think for not only themselves, but with others with ease. With the speed in which they can intercept information, they are worthy foes using their heads alone. With this, people of higher rank usually choose people with this skill to lead missions, for they are able to assist greatly with higher - level missions.

5 - Seen as MASTERMINDS, with their ability to think out of the box, and perhaps have an IQ of over 200. With this, the shinobi might see their greatest tool as their minds and can use it to their advantage. Whether it be able to grasp jutsu faster than the regular person due to their extensive knowledge to trap someone in a cave, or combine this skill with Genjutsu to create a world filled with question, people of this rank are the brightest of the bright and probably should not be messed with because their minds are amongst the best within all the land.

## Strength

The physical power of a shinobi for their use in battle or for overall daily life.

.5 - With this, their strength is below average, and they are able to dish very little damage physically to someone else via Taijutsu, or able to withstand the force of nearly any given attack.

1 - At this level, a shinobi is able to damage another physically, but can be easily overpowered with someone of higher ability. This is about the strength of an average 16 year old with the force to at maximum, to knock someone unconscious . This is seen as Genin level.

2 - At this level, a shinobi is able to damage another physically and withstand certain attacks, E to C rank, without having to worry about being sent flying back miles or being KO'd for the count. With this, one is able to hit something, with full force, and able to cause bones to shatter. Is seen as Chuunin level.

3 - At this level, a shinobi is able to carry heavy swords, maybe with two hands, and be able to wreck objects with their bare hands with full force, such as rocks and different random debris. One is able to withstand more physical damage with this level of strength, as well. This is seen as Jounin level.

4 - At this level, one is seen as some sort of monster - able to wield large weapons with one hand, able to forcefully thrash opponents through different rocks, boulders, and objects using solely their bare hands, even able to thrust their hand into a tree, allowing it to fall to it's demise. One might be cautious with making someone angry with this level of strength - for bones can and will more than likely be shattered. The amount of damage someone is able to withstand at this point is as well, noteworthy, able to withstand way more physical damage than the average person, making it harder to kill (combined with Stamina).

5 - At this level, one is unheard of, a legendary beast with strength only rumored. Their strength is able to level a place in ruins, if they don't keep themselves calm. Able to withstand different attacks, and survive some of the more devastating blows, (still can die if not given attention), their sustain is simply remarkable. (Again, combined with Stamina.)

## Speed

Is the rate at which a shinobi is able to physically move or react physically to a given situation.

.5 - A shinobi is very slow, and probably needs training. Speed is a valuable tool within the shinobi world, and having this low of speed can hinder people greatly. With little to no speed and terrible reaction time.

1 - A shinobi is moderately fast. He / she is faster than the average person, and is able to react quickly to most instances. This is seen as a Genin level of speed as they are fast enough to evade, dodge, and survive certain attacks. They are as fast as a bicycle at this point in time.

2 - A shinobi is a bit faster, seen as Chuunin level as they are able to react even faster to different sort of attacks launched out towards them, as well as able to fight, move, and maneuver easier than the average person. With this speed, one is faster than the average train, and can use this speed with their combat quite efficiently.

3 - A shinobi's speed has improved is well with reaction time, speed overall, and the efficiency to use weapons. One is able to dodge a lot attacks, especially from someone slower than his / herself as well as able to move fluently within battle. One's reaction time is increased greatly as their speeds are approximately that of an automobile.

4 - At this level, a shinobi's speed is great, and probably well known. Due to their reaction time, one is able to become a deadly tool to quickly slice and dice their opponents with weapontry, form hand signs with the quickness, move swiftly, as their reaction time is blindingly fast, or able to throw shots at someone with the opponent barely even realizing what hit them.

5 - At this level, a shinobi's speed is at it's prime, as one can nearly not phantom how great or how fast one is (comparable to Minato.) One's speed is great and can be used within battle or just doing daily work around the village. Although this level of speed is rare, it is attainable through hard work and practice. Seen as being deadly with ability with Taijutsu and strength, a shinobi's speed can be their greatest ally.

## Hand Seals

**Seals** (印,  Hand Signs) are used to perform many ninjutsu, genjutsu, and other secret arts other than taijutsu. The exact amount of chakra necessary to perform a technique is manipulated through hand seals.[1] There are different sequences of hand seals for every technique, requiring memorization.

.5 - At this level, a shinobi's hand seals are below academy level. The lower your hand seal level, the longer it take to get off a jutsu, severely limiting the amount of offensive and defensive ninjutsu you can get off in a fight. As well as having little to no chakra control.

1 - At this level, a shinobi can form hand seals at the speed of the average genin, being able to get off jutsu with distance or cover. As well as some semblance of chakra control.

2 - At this level, a shinobi's hand seals are at the level of a chunin, giving them the ability to use hand seal related jutsu more effectively in the heat of combat. As well as slightly more advanced chakra control.

3 - At this level, a shinobi's hand seals are faster, nearly a blur when focused. As well as jounin chakra control.

4 - At this level,a shinobi's have the ability to use large jutsu with less hand seals or 1 handed hand seals, with expert chakra control.

5 - At this level, a shinobi can form large jutsu with 1 or 2 hand seals as well as flawless chakra control (being comparable to that of Tobirama).

## Stamina

Stamina is the energy you have, as well as your chakra reserves and endurance.

.5 - At this level, a shinobi is below an academy level and will be easily tired. Sporting little to no chakra reserves.

1 - At this level, a shinobi can engage in longer battles, as well as having a larger chakra reserve (Low).
