Suna
Village Map
Mission Standards and Pay:
All pay is what the client pays! The pay is split with half being given to Suna, and the other half is split between the shinobi that took the mission. No matter the number of shinobi involved, the total amount paid by the client will not change.
D-Ranks
Unlike many other villages, even genin have to worry about a bit of danger, and these are typically given to them. Some are easier, such as clearing the streets or hunting birds, but there is also the common mission of patrolling the desert just beyond the village cliffs. More than one genin has been lost due to being unprepared for a sudden sandstorm while outside the village.
Pay for these missions is between 10,000 and 70,000 Ryo.
C-Ranks
Both genin and chunin are given these missions, and they often cover things such as low priority escort missions, guard duty, bandit handling, information gathering, and oasis finding. The last is a very specific to Suna, and is usually one of the higher paying missions, as it leads to the founding of new civilian villages in the country.
Pay for these missions is between 50,000 and 120,000 Ryo.
B-Ranks
Chunin and Jounin usually get these missions, but some genin are given them as well. This category often involves missions that would have a shinobi expecting to face other shinobi in deadly combat, higher level escort duty, and matters of moderate village security.
Pay for these missions is between 100,000 and 300,000 Ryo.
A-Rank
Confined almost entirely to jounin and chunin, this category is a lot more dangerous than most villages make it, though that's largely because they are willing to be a bit more extreme than other villages. This rank includes things with high dangerous missing nin, treaties, and quelling possible uprisings. Many political matters fall under this rank.
Pay for these missions is between 250,000 and 1,000,000 Ryo.
S-Rank
Jounin and ANBU are the only ones entrusted with these missions. Political assassinations, high level information, and a range of similarly important missions all fall under this rank.
Pay for these missions is 1,000,000 Ryo and beyond.
Promotions:
Please note that if the Kazekage decides to decline a promotion, then the promotion is declined. The Daimyo tends to interfere in shinobi matters and will at times override the Kazekage's choices about promotions.
Entrance to Academy
Suna shinobi are enrolled as young as 4, but no later than age 8. This is to ensure that chakra control has time to be taught up to instinctive levels, and provides leeway if for any reason there is a problem enrolling a child at a younger age. When a child is enrolled, their aptitudes are tested and their class placement is determined by those results rather than age. Often those who enter school at the same time, regardless of age, are trained together.
Academy Graduation
Suna nin can graduate anywhere between the ages of 10 and 13, since they are far more skill based because of the large class sizes. They have biyearly graduations in December and May.
The skills required to graduate are Tessen use, genjutsu dispelling, and sand walking.
Promotion to Chunin from Genin
Though peace is still solid, Chunin exams are held biyearly, in January and June. They cycle through the five major powers. In Suna the first test is one of espionage, followed by a survival test, and it concludes in open combat.
On certain occasions there are field promotions, but not typically in times of peace.
Promotion from Chunin to Tokebetsu Jounin
This requires a shinobi showing an exceptional skill that would not merit a full promotion, and is by appointment only.
Promotion from Chunin to Jounin
Due to the harsh nature of the climate of their country, Suna would never promote anyone to Jounin who couldn't survive out in the desert for a week, and this is the first half of the testing. The other half of the testing is proving that they have mastery of one of the great disciplines of Suna. Puppetry, Wind Jutsu, or Sand mastery are all options, though anyone without these would have to show two exceptional abilities in their place.
ANBU
ANBU, unlike normal ranks, is not a post that is actually part of the promotional ladder. This is an appointment that is given by the Kazekage to those he finds to have superior skill, but whom he can also place his trust. Due to the wary nature of the man, the ANBU forces in Suna are much smaller than those of the other Kage run hidden villages.
Village Views:
Bijuu and Jinchuuriki
Bijuu are beasts and Jinchuuriki are to be feared. This was the lesson hard learned by those in Suna, and it is not a view that would waver easily after the bloodthirsty person the Kazekage's son had become.
Bloodlines
Bloodlines are well and good, something to be wary of, but they do not inherently make someone special. Suna is a land where people are only worth what they can do, and some bloodlines would be flat out useless in their home climate.
Civilians
Civilians are important parts of the country. They feed the shinobi and keep them clothed, and this is far more important than in other nations. Without their civilian farmers, the population of shinobi would starve.
However, the nobility of their nation do not get the same sort of warm reception that their local civilians get, largely due to their Daimyo causing them significant difficulties financially.
Outsiders
While treated with wariness, outsiders will always be treated with welcome. Anyone who comes from outside is prospective business, and it's something that the village always desperately needs.
Village Bloodlines/Clans:
This village has no clans, however there is a strong affinity for sand usage and Wind jutsu among the villagers. They also have exceptionally fine chakra control as puppeteering is a very big deal in this village.
Historical Summary:
Please note all Village Summaries will be written from the view of a native of the village.
Suna has always been a proud and independent nation. Among the first to form their own shinobi vlllage, the Shodai Kazekage captured Shukaku all on his own, and united the shinobi of the village with his great power. It's been a long time since the Kazekage sealed away Shukaku, and the origin of the creature has been lost to legend because of the secretive way the matter was handled. Currently, the leading theory is that Shukaku is the spirit of a corrupted priest, kept by the Kage family out of responsibility to the people.
The Kazekage has always been seen as a pillar of strength. Even when his physical prowess might fail to overcome, the various Kazekage have always had the skill and intelligence to leave them standing above the other kage. Historically, the various Kazekage have always been cunning and resourceful, able to keep Suna prosperous and powerful despite its disadvantaged in the economic arena. Since the Sandaime's sudden disappearance and the war by the weakness of that loss, the country has been in decline. Even the Yondaime's considerable strength and intelligence has done little to return Suna to its previous glory...an effort not helped by his son's poor control over the demon Shukaku.
Suna's spirit of determination is as strong as ever, however, and faith in the Yondaime is still great. Even though Suna has fallen behind the other countries recently, their endurance and strength will surely persevere while the other countries will eventually falter and collapse under their own pride and weakness. Especially Konoha and Iwa.
Village Reputation:
All Reputations will be written from the view of someone not from this village.
Suna is an arrogant nation, more proud than wily as far as the Five Nations go. Suna is the country most known for a willingness to trade, and well known for being only behind Konoha when it comes to not backing out of an agreement. Suna tends to make any decision that most benefits them, with ferocious shinobi to back up their promises. This also means that they tend to avoid making bad blood, at least politically. Suna nin are known for their powerful sand attacks and cloth-binding jutsu, but their biggest reputation lies behind their Tessen and Puppeteer brigades. Their puppetry techniques are the most advanced in the five nations, and remain their most fearsome and up to date tradition.
Suna nin are known for being ruthless on missions, willing to do anything it takes, no matter who they have to cut down in the process. Some say that it's because of their country's financial difficulties, while other speculate that it's to feed the reputations that serve as family names in their country. No matter the reason, they're frightening to behold, especially because they rely on so many long range battle tactics.
