These are the different Ninja Types that are available to RPCs, and which are placed in their profiles. These are OPTIONAL! You don't have to use them if you don't want, but they help to depict the kind of ninja you want to be and help to specialize your RPC, giving you a more unique feel, and some enhanced abilities. For every strength however, there is an inherent weakness, so specializing in one area can often mean incurring weakness in another, so choose wisely. (Every RPC may have up to two Ninja Types)
Attention: Many Ninja Types give bonuses when learning jutsu. These bonuses never stack! The shinobi always take the greater of the two bonuses they have. For Example, if one Ninja Type gives them -2 posts for learning jutsu while another gives them -4, the total learning bonus is -4 posts, not -6. This applies for training area bonuses as well. If a shinobi usually has a -2 post bonus for learning jutsu, when they go to the training grounds in their home village, they do not add the additional -2 post bonus to their regular -2 post bonus, it remains a -2 post bonus.
The exception to this rule is the Teaching Master's learning bonus for their students, any bonus the student would usually receive from their own shinobi types will stack with the Teaching Master's -2 post teaching bonus.
