Character Elements

All characters begin with an element of their choice, but how each character starts out with is based on their rank and the rules are as follows;

[Genin/D-Rank]
Without Clan Element :: Can choose ONE of the FIVE basic Elements (Fire :: Water :: Lightning :: Earth :: Air). Once they are able to learn a new element they can pick from the FIVE again.

With Clan Element :: Must pick either their Clan Element or the other TWO elements that fuse to create said Clan Element. Once they are able to gain their next element, they'll have to again choose from the THREE options. Here is an Example:

Example:

[Chunin/Jounin/C-Rank/B-Rank/ANBU/Hunter-Nin/Black-Ops]
Without Clan Element :: Can choose TWO of the FIVE basic Elements (Fire :: Water :: Lightning :: Earth :: Air) Once they are able to learn a new element they can pick from the FIVE again.

With Clan Element :: Must pick either their Clan Element and/or the other TWO elements that fuse to create said Clan Element. Once they are able to gain their next element, they'll have to again choose from the THREE options. See Genin example above, it's a similar concept.

[Sanin/Kage/A-Rank/S-rank]
Without Clan Element :: Can choose THREE of the FIVE basic Elements (Fire :: Water :: Lightning :: Earth :: Air)

With Clan Element :: Must pick either their Clan Element as well as the other TWO elements that fuse to create said Clan Element.
