This page outlines all rules regarding character ranks, promotions, and restrictions for high-ranking shinobi on the NarutoRP server. These rules ensure fairness, proper progression, and maintain immersion in the world of Konohagakure.
The server follows a structured rank system for shinobi characters. Each rank comes with assigned power, chakra, health, and IC responsibilities:
- Academy Student
- Apprentice Genin / Genin / Confirmed Genin
- Tokubetsu Chūnin
- Chūnin / Confirmed Chūnin
- Tokubetsu Jōnin / Jōnin / Jonin Commander
- Sanin
- Kage
Note: Players may only start in factions at the lowest rank (Academy Student) to encourage progression and fair roleplay.
Promotion Timing
- Academy & Genin: 48-hour minimum between promotions.
- Tokubetsu Chūnin: 96-hour minimum between promotions.
- Promotions above Tokubetsu Chūnin (Chūnin confirmed, Jōnin, Tokubetsu Jōnin, Jonin Commander) require approval by the Kage or a village assembly of highest-ranking shinobi.
- Sanin & Kage ranks need to be approved by the managment.
Transfers & Rehirings
Players removed from a faction may only rejoin at a similar rank after 24 hours. Any promotion exceeding Tokubetsu Chūnin still requires Kage or village assembly approval.
Village Assembly
For IC legitimacy, promotions above Tokubetsu Chūnin must be validated by either:
1. Kage approval, or
2. A village assembly consisting of the current highest-ranking shinobi.
This reflects the Naruto lore concept of collective decision-making for top-tier ninja appointments.
Joining a Clan
Players may only join a clan while at the first two ranks (Academy Student or Genin). This ensures that characters grow within the clan and maintain IC progression.
Clan Removal
Clan leaders cannot simply remove a player from their clan. The only approved ways for a player to leave or be removed are:
- **PK (Permanent Kill)** – following the standard PK rules.
- **Inactivity** – removal requires approval from a Super Administrator (UA).
High-Ranking Restrictions
Single High-Rank Limit
Each player may maintain only one character at the rank of Confirmed Chūnin or higher. Additional characters at these levels will be un-whitelisted or removed to prevent rank-stacking and OOC advantage.
Staff-Only Ranks
Sanin and Kage are assigned only by server management. Players cannot self-promote or bypass this restriction.
Q: Can someone be hired directly at a high rank?
A: No. All new characters must start at the lowest rank. Exceptions require Super Administrator approval.
Q: Can a deputy take over for their superior?
A: Promotions of up to 2 ranks may be approved with staff oversight. Any promotion above Tokubetsu Chūnin still requires Kage or assembly approval.
Q: Can I return to a previous rank after leaving a faction?
A: Yes, with Super Administrator approval, you may return at a rank equivalent to your prior position.
Enforcement Notice
Violations of promotion or rank rules may result in demotion, un-whitelisting, or character removal. Staff decisions are final.
