PATHS
Paths are Heartshrine Village’s exclusive system of jobs that will become open to you once you reach the rank of chuunin.♥ First path: Received upon passing chuunin exams. The first job is based off of slot availability.
♥ Second path: Pick from any job when first job reaches the level of squad leader.
♥ Third path: Pick from any job when second job reaches the level of squad leader.
While there are no stat requirements for jobs, we'd encourage characters to have stats that reflect an affinity for their path; or vice versa, choose a path that makes sense with your character's stats. ♥ It wouldn't make sense if someone in the Intelligence division had an intelligence stat of 0.5 or a Weapons Specialist to have a taijutsu stat of 1.
♥ If you have any questions feel free to ask! (RP/HC suggestion: ask another character/player about path choices!)
There are 5 levels (6 for Priesthood and Medic)
Please keep in mind to play your character according to their level. (Ex: A beginner medic will not be able to perform any life saving abilities and a beginner weapon specialist will not be able to wield 100 weapons.)PAPERWORK
To rank up in path levels please check out the Missions Journal about available missions. They are also linked down below.♥ Mission rules and standards still apply
Some path missions may be unavailable to you because they are timeline specific [ie: War arc, plant arc, flip flop arc, etc]. Meaning your character must have been a chuunin+ during that arc. If you are unsure about the mission, please don’t hesitate to ask!! ♥ This is because your oc would've still been a genin- or even an academy student- during that specific arc. In that case, he/she/they would not have been able to receive that specific mission to do. This is both to keep a certain timeline and that new members do not rank up too quickly by having so many missions available.
♥ Grandfather clause: For those who have done those missions before this reset (2018), those missions will still be accepted.
Use the Path paperwork to keep track and trade in missions for elemental level
All templates can be found in Blank Templates folder, and all FILLED OUT SHEETS must be turned into Path paperwork subfolder!
