Rules regarding the Kai [Release] technique
Spoiler:
This rule really only applies to normal Genjutsu, opposed to Genjutsu like Sharingan Genjutsu. Below are a list of what ranks can release what ranked Genjutsu.

This applies if your Main or Sub Specialty IS NOT Genjutsu:

Spoiler:
	Genin // D and C Rank Missing-nin = D-ranked Genjutsu Chuunin // B Rank Missing-nin = C-ranked Genjutsu Jounin // A Rank Missing-nin = B-ranked Genjutsu

---

This applies if your Sub Specialty is Genjutsu:

Spoiler:
	Genin // D and C Rank Missing-nin = C-ranked Genjutsu Chuunin // B Rank Missing-nin = B-ranked Genjutsu Jounin // A Rank Missing-nin = A-ranked Genjutsu (Note: This takes more chakra than releasing a Genjutsu of a lower rank. Just because it is your Sub Specialty does not mean that it take's any less chakra.)

---

This applies if your Main Specialty is Genjutsu:

Spoiler:
	Genin // D and C Rank Missing-nin = B-ranked Genjutsu Chuunin // B Rank Missing-nin = A-ranked Genjutsu Jounin // A Rank Missing-nin = S-ranked Genjutsu (Note: This takes a LOT more chakra than releasing a lower ranked Genjutsu. Just because it is your Main Specialty does not mean that it take's any less chakra.)

Rules regarding the Shunshin [Body Flicker] technique

Spoiler:
	Number of uses allowed per topic: Genin // D Rank Missing-nin = Once. C Rank Missing-nin = Twice. Chuunin // B Rank Missing-nin = Twice. Jounin // A Rank Missing-nin = Three times. ANBU // Akatsuki // S Rank Missing-nin = Four times. Kage // Akatsuki Leader = Five times.

Character Rules

---> Canon characters are not allowed in this forum.

---> Each member can only have one character. We are discussing ways to introduce multiple characters, but don't expect anything soon.

---> Please follow the given template when posting a character application. You will not be approved with an incorrectly formatted application.

---> If you want to create a character ranked higher than a Jounin // A Rank Missing-nin, you need to request permission from an administrator. If allowed, you need to clarify which admin gave you permission when you post your application form. Higher ranks include; Akatsuki, S-Rank Missing-nin, Kage, Sannin. All of these ranks also have limited availability.

---> If you no longer want a character, post an application in the modification forum and a staff member will review it and most likely delete your saved application for that character.

---> If you create a criminal character or your character decides to break laws, understand that you can be punished by lawful shinobi, who may even try to kill you. Actions have consequences, don't forget.

Roleplay Rules

---> No godmoding. This is where you perform actions (without giving a chance for another participant to respond) that are considered unfair or cheating. In roleplay for example, dodging every attack or assuming your attacks always hit.

---> No metagaming. This is using out-of-roleplay information to affect in-roleplay actions and events.

---> Criminal ninja may not attack other villages without adminstrative permission.

---> Deathmatches are allowed and can happen at any time, in almost any location. If you want a topic NOT to become a deathmatch, put [No Killing] in the title. Similarly, you can put [No Fighting]; [Deathmatch] or other requirements in your topic title.

---> When performing a technique in roleplay, please put the technique details (as on your character application) at the bottom of your post so that other participants can see and understand what you have done and how dangerous it is.
