Specialization

[Codemaster Jamal]

Specialization

As one becomes more profound in their skills, they will take a liking to one style of combat over another. At some point, a character will be required to specialize, making a character an expert in their specific field of combat. Specialization simply means that your character will be a bit better at that style of combat when compared to another character that is not.

Specialization works as a character ranks up within a faction. As you become a higher ranked character in your faction, your specialization becomes more specific and narrowed down. Currently, these are all of the available Specializations for characters however, there is a chance that more Specializations will be available in the future. For now, these are all of the available Specializations.

By default, the Specialization are Martial Arts (Taijutsu), Destruction Magic (Ninjutsu), Illusion Magic (Genjutsu) and Weapon Skills (Bukijutsu).

Student

As a Student or "Academy Student", you just began your journey into the world of Shinobu. You won't be able to pick a Specialization at this rank but, you can also start thinking about what style of combat your character likes the most.

Genin

You are allowed to pick a Specialization but, it has to be one of the default Specializations. This includes Martial Arts, Destruction Magic, Illusion Magic or Weapons Skills. As your character Rank up, it will get a bit more complicated as things begin to break down. Once you pick your Specialization, your character will not be allowed to change. If your character has a Bloodline, then by default, their Specialization will be Bloodline Magic.

Chunin

As a Chunin, things will begin to get complicated. By this point, you have become an adult in your faction even if you aren't a legal one in your country. You will have access to information that would normally be off limits. This will mean that you will have more tools and the ability to experiment with Qi and thus, gives you access to a whole new level of power. This will also be the last time you will have to pick a Specialization.

Your character is allowed to pick a more specific Specialization however, they will still be counted and treated like their previous Specialization.

If your character chose Martial Arts, you will be allowed to pick a Martial Arts Fighting Style as a Specialization. You are allowed to stay a Martial Arts Specialist but, it is not highly advised. In the end, it's up to you to build your character and we leave a lot of room to imagination. If you choose to switch to a Fighting Style, then you will still be counted as a Martial Arts Specialist even with this new Fighting Style.

If your character chose Destruction Magic, they will be able to choose from a myriad of Specializations to further specialize into. This includes Non-Elemental Destruction Magic, Elemental Destruction Magic, Special Affinity Destruction Magic, Summoning Magic or Sealing Magic. Your character is still counted as a Destruction Magic Specialist.

If your character chose Illusion Magic, they will be able to choose to stay an Illusion Magic Specialist or to specialize in Healing Magic.

If your character chose Weapon Skills, they will be able to choose to stay a Weapon Skills specialist or to Specialize in Swordsmanship, Healing Magic or a Fighting Style.

After your character becomes a Chunin, this will be the end of your Specialization process. This is seen as a form of character evolution.
