So the Kage's will be Genin or will they be older? Or will thy come about over time?
There will be no kages to begin with. Before the guild's story line started, every human over the age of sixteen was killed, leaving only the younger generation where the guild starts. So it's a 'survival of the fittest' deal with no auto ranks (except for one major story line NPC, who's of jounin rank), and first come first serve, meaning there'll be plenty of fights over who takes the positions. Also, kages won't be promoted to crew, so they'll be just as in the dark about the story as everyone else.
Kind of like Lord of the Flies, huh?

That's a very good analogy, yes.
Sounds like it's going to be a struggle for a while...

xD Alright, I'll add you to the list and have Lanny send you a layout later tonight when he gets home. We're looking for smaller things, like natural predators such as wolves or bears, and some fantastical creatures like, I don't know manticore or griffins or something. Whatever you can come up with. Then you'll send them to me (or put them in a thread in that 'stuff' guild that Syn has), and we'll decided and edit from there. :3
Hokay. Each genin will be starting with a C-rank technique of their choice already learned. The conditions are as long as their elements or bloodline fit and they have a slot available. For example, if they have no Buki/Tai slot, then they cannot have either as their starting skill. Erm... Those are the only ones I can think of off hand, so if anyone else can think of anything feel free to add. Remember, you are currently the lifeblood of this guild.
Now, another subject that involves some thoughts is classes (again). Should we keep the traditional classes, like in Shinobi Nations (Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, Bukijutsu, Taijutsu, Medical, Puppeteer, Tamer, Bloodline, Sensor, Performer)? Or should we rewrite them, give them new disciplines, abilities, etc.? I'm not going to make this one a poll because I want physical answers.
Another option is that we could make Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, Bukijutsu, and Taijutsu "primaries" and use the others and more as "secondaries".
Also, we're talking about primary classes here, not secondary or prestiges. We'll talk about those later.

So personally, simply because everyone is starting out at the same level in this guild based on what I read in the description, I think that new ranks might need to be added. Obviously the older kids in the groups will remember much of the old systems, however some area's may simply decide to change the systems all together. There would almost be a small struggle to keep what was but the looming fact that the world is forever changed into something new. Therefore I believe that the ranks as we know them should be abandoned to form some more ranks.
Before Genin was the lowest rank, while senin was the highest, but with everyone a genin, wouldnt we see new ranks rise within that group alone eventually blurring the lines of genin and chunin ect.
Wow, I totally went dyslexia all over that, my apologies.
With the ranks I think it would be better to make them primary and secondary simply because of the now lack of people in this world. With just children left, it would make sense for each person to need the primary skills like nijutsu backed with secondary skills like medical nin, because there simply are not enough people to fulfill all the roles within their new society.
In addition I can help with a mission system, but I will need to know what the general feel or idea that it should be aimed at is. Free play, team based, quest based, ect. I have recently helped with a system where there is both free play and mission play, but the missions are the main thing you are looking to do and level up and it is a little complex, but I can show you it and help adapt it to a shinobi guild if you wish. I really need to talk to someone with vision on this unless you want me to flesh out a system or two for approval/denial
I say the primary classes from Nations should stay since they are the most fundamental to the naruto universe. All the special and crazy classes could be secondary so that once could specialize.

I'll add you to the list, and have Lanny send you the layout along with an explanation of what we're looking for.
I thought you started with a Primary and Secondary but Primary is your first specialty and Secondary is your second specialty?
Ex. Neji's Primary is Taijutsu and Secondary is Ninjutsu?

Since the vote is pretty overwhelming, with a 62% majority, I'm going to end the vote prematurely. If you have any other comments about the subject, feel free to post them, but the winner in this round is: 1st class at genin, 2nd class at chuunin, 1st prestige at jounin, and 2nd prestige at sannin.
^This. About two weeks ago we took a vote for how people wanted to obtain their classes. This is what was decided.
My question to everyone now is what are the classes, not how we're doing them.
So, here's an update for everyone on everything that's been decided, because I've realized people must have either missed polls or joined afterward.
1. Technology: Less than the Naruto universe to begin with, but there will be opportunities to restore technologies and even advance as the story progresses.
2. Classes 1: Genin start with one class. At Chuunin, a second class is unlocked. Jounin unlocks the first prestige class, and the final prestige class is unlocked at Sannin.
3. Starting: Everyone will be starting at Genin rank, except for under very, very, very rare circumstances.
4. Jutsu: Each Genin will be able to start with one technique up to C-rank, so long as it is a technique they can learn.
I hope this clears up things for people. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
