Rankings:
Ranking defines your character/s level of skills, with each ranking, one's skills are set higher, this still doesn't give one the grounds to claim superiority over another as is the case with using limitations. Everyone starts out as a Rookie and gradually ranks up depending on their level of ability within the guild of using T1 Roleplay. Being descriptive helps to define one's ranking, you can rank up by both posting in the roleplay, and taking a Ranking Test or participating in Survivor Roleplay.
NPCs automatically are at the highest rank, however you will still have your created characters at their appropriate rank and not the highest.
Do not carry over penalties to your skill chart when you rank up, do not carry over previous level bonuses either.
Ranking works like this: (Take the Survivor Ranks as an example.)
Rookie (Lv. 1)
The lonely Rookie winces when he/she hears the word monster, he/she lacks direction, and is often taken by surprise by the smallest of enemies, most monsters make them cower, or at least are fought with much resistance, the small critters still tend to die faster though, the Rookie is severely inexperienced however and lacks much understanding. (Ability - 2, Strength - 1, Intelligence -1)
Stats: 450 pts
-Is not as strong against certain monsters that are more powerful, has less agile movements(agility -2) and meets a boss monster in battle with heavy challenge, though they aren't necessarily weaker, just not as prepared.
-Can use a firearm with challenge, can use a melee weapon to some extent.
