Genin/Chunin
|
|---|
| A group of Genin and Chunin with their teachers |
You were born into a society of great ninjas, raised there to become a shinobi. As a child, you were trained and shaped by the influence of others around you in the hopes that you would become a great ninja. Whether you choose to follow that lifestyle is your own choice. You have memories of both the good and bad times with your teammates. Memories like these are something you may cherish or despise. Regardless, you are and will always be a shinobi at heart.
Skill Proficiencies: Stealth and Deception
Tool Proficiencies: Poisoner’s Kit or Disguise Kit
Languages: One of your choice
Equipment: 10 gp, a bingo book, a set of traveler's clothes, 3 blank scrolls, a vial of ink, a quill, and a pouch capable of holding 10 darts, 8 kunai, or 12 shuriken.
Feature: Bingo Book
A bingo book is a book most high ranking ninjas have. It reads a list of bounties of criminals and rogue ninja, having the book is extremely helpful when hunting down targets. Through the graces of your connections, you can usually have it updated at information hubs in most towns with little hassle. It includes information such as: Name, description, age, last seen location, bounty worth.
Alternate Feature: Rogue-Nin
Having abandoned your people, you have become a rogue ninja. Words of malice carry your name along the wind. Wherever you go, the feeling of someone hunting you is present in the back of your mind, and as a result, you've come to trust very little. Due to this, you may find "book-keepers"(bounty placers), other rogue-nin, and less than pleasant people in your circle. In small towns and slums, you may locate an area you can bed for the night, update bounties, and prepare for the next journey while avoiding the prying eyes of others.
