This will be slow going at first, but will eventually fill out.
CLASSES (You may only possess one Class at a time without mod approval)
=Ninjutsu Specialist
A Ninjutsu Specialist sculpts creations out of the elements. While these elements may have weaknesses to others, no single element is more powerful than the others. Elements include Fire, Wind, Lightning, Earth, Water, Ice, Shadow, Life, Death, and Divine.
Ninjutsu Specialists are very adept at learning and using Ninjutsu, they rarely fail when performing a Ninjutsu, and can progress further in their arts than any other Non-Ninjutsu Specialist ninja. This allows them more power when using their particular Class Jutsu.
-However, no Class is perfect. Ninjutsu Specs. are very susceptible to Genjutsu Specs., but have an advantage over Taijutsu Specs. in range and Ninjutsu power. A Ninjutsu Spec.'s Taijutsu abilities are that of a normal ninja, as are their Genjutsu abilities. Anything other than Ninjutsu is a very large drain on the ninja, however.
=Genjutsu Specialist
A Genjutsu Specialist is closely referred to a psychic, and they have very slim and unmuscular physiques. This said, Genjutsu users closely resemble mages, and do not have alot of physical stamina or ability to take or deal out physical punishment or move as fast as other Classes. They have the wondrous ability to create and control illusions with simply their minds and Chakra, however. Unlike Ninjutsu Specialists, and closer to Taijutsu Specialists... Genjutsu users find that they use their illusionary powers more freely rather than tied down to a list of jutsu. For this reason, most Genjutsu users take a few Ninjutsu to add to their lists, and to enhance the power of their illusions.
Obviously, this can be dangerous for the victim if the Genjutsu Specialist is VERY thorough and spends alot of Chakra and some time creating a "perfect illusion", one that has no obvious reason why the victim should know they are in a spell. This means the Genjutsu user must cover all the senses in their "illusion program".
Genjutsu can only affect a victim over a medium, there is no way to beam Genjutsu directly into someone's brain... it must be a sound that triggers the illusion, a feeling, or some other form of sensory perception.
-Genjutsu users are extremely vulnerable to Taijutsu Specialists, as their focused and hard-edged minds do not succumb easily to Genjutsu and will not be affected by the same attempt twice. Genjutsu users are very strong against Ninjutsu Specialists, whom deal with invisible forces and leave their minds in an open state that a Genjutsu user can easily implant an illusion.
A Genjutsu Specialist's Ninjutsu abilities are that of a normal ninja's, and they have NO business attempting to use Taijutsu.
=Taijutsu Specialist
A Taijutsu Specialist is a person who dedicates their life to perfecting their chosen form(s) of martial arts. Their bodies are almost inhumanly flawless in trim muscular physique. Taijutsu Specialists are faster and stronger than any other ninja that are not also Taijutsu Specialists, they can take alot of physical punishment and with their speed, agility, and strength... dish alot of physical punishment out. Taijutsu users find themselves using actions and combos more than jutsu, though Taijutsu/Ninjutsu combinations are possible, or even limited jutsu within a Taijutsu style. [Example: Sorrido Taiki possesses the Taiki Assaku no jutsu] Taijutsu users can better endure the elements and harsh, rigorous environments.
Taijutsu users take longer to master their chosen styles of Taijutsu and constantly train whenever they have the chance... the more Styles chosen, the less progression the user makes in their styles. Also of note, Taijutsu Specialists have the highest Chakra Stamina of any ninja, and use it the most effectively (such as channeling Chakra bursts into their muscles to aid their movements or attacks), meaning they'll run out of Chakra after other ninjas do.
With training (and mod approval), the abilities of your Taijutsu Style as well as your personal speed and strength will increase.
-Taijusu Specialists are at a disadvantage against Ninjutsu Specialists due to the distance at which a Ninjutsu Specialist can attack from, and the wide variety of effects Ninjutsu can cause. A Ninjutsu Specialist's ninjutsu will usually be 50% stronger than a Taijutsu user's ninjutsu. Likewise, Taijutsu users obliterate Genjutsu users easily, as they are rarely captured by weak Genjutsu, and the same Genjutsu will almost never work twice on a Taijutsu Specialist... Genjutsu Specialists can in no way stand up to the attacks of a Taijutsu Specialist either.
=Medical Ninja (Must start at Novice)
Rather than stay a simple civilian and rake in insane amounts of cash every year, you've become a ninja and put your medical skills out to use in the field. Most notably, Medical Ninja can convert their Chakra into regenerative energy. This takes ALOT more Chakra than a simple jutsu would, and the effect is never very strong depending on the level of the Medical Ninja.
These ninja rarely find themselves alone in a confrontation, as they have no strengths or weaknesses over other Classes. They are considered normal ninja except for their potent Class Jutsu.
Novice- Can heal minor wounds on themselves and others completely. Larger wounds are aided, but cannot be fully taken care of.
Intermediate- Can heal battle wounds on themselves and others completely. Larger wounds are aided, but cannot be fully covered.
Expert- No wound is too great to be healed by this professional. If there is still life in a patient, then this Expert will utilize a massve amount of Chakra to hang onto that life and heal the body back to its original state.
=Weapon Master (Must choose one weapon to start)
Like Tenten, these ninja are easily mistaken for Taijutsu Specialists, but there are very noticeable differences when fighting one or the other. Whereas Taijutsu users are all about raw speed, agility, power... a Weapon Master is about grace and power through delicacy. It is notable that most Weapon Masters choose one-two weapons to master and over time will become the ultimate authority of combat with the weapon(s) they chose. A Weapon Master's fighting style is all about fluidity, ease of movement, and effectiveness of their weapon in the given situation. It's not uncommon that they incorporate dances into their styles... which makes them very difficult to strike and allows for a very solid defence and offense... Weapon Masters are often very slim, and wear no armor or little more than loose silk clothing so as not to hinder their beautiful fighting style.
- Weapon Masters are strong against all other Classes, but are useless when their weapon is neutralized. Susceptible to Genjutsu when dancing.
Weapon Masters come in several general forms of combat:
Sword (Small)
Sword (Large)
Daggers
Fuuma Shuriken
Weapon Scrolls
Staves (Staff weapons)
Bladewheels (Large hand-held or thrown discs with grips in the center)
Whips
Nets
Bolos (Thrown weapon that wraps around the target)
Sickles (One-handed mini-scythes)
Chains
