Summons.

[Iizuka]

h'okay, i am need halp.

Aside from these two primordial classifications, summons also fall under a certain rank, much like regular jutsu. Rank usually serves to represent size, strength, and ability, as summons can only use techniques equal to their base rank. Most importantly however, rank determines the amount of EXP a summon can have in relation to one's own, which is important when determining the attack potential of one's summon.

'D': 10 – 20 meters // 500 EXP
'C': 21 – 30 meters // 1,000 EXP
'B': 31 – 40 meters // 5,000 EXP
'A': 41 – 50 meters // 10,000 EXP
'S': 51+ meters // 20,000 EXP

What exactly is this referring to? Is it my EXP? How does that correspond to an entire summoning family? I does not understand.

Juniors: The subordinates to the Seniors, these small minion-like creatures come in small packs, or even alone. Although they carry no ability to cast jutsu like their seniors, they have enough natural energy in them to survive on their own using stamina and the unique abilities granted to them by their bodies. These type of summons can still nonetheless be summoned by the user, and, unlike Seniors, can be controlled and used for the user's personal techniques. (Kakashi and his dogs, for example.). At all times, Juniors will be at least half their Senior's size, as well as their EXP! Also, for every single Senior Summon the user has, they may create up to five (5) Juniors.

They have no chakra to use abilities, so are the Bear Summons for the Arc an exception or is this old information that needs to be updated?

Seniors: The captains of their class. They are leaders of their summoning family, pillars of their community that have acquired unique abilities throughout the ages that their brethren have yet to master. Sought out by mortal souls due to their power, they are envie by many and controlled by none. The user calls upon these only in the most dire of situations, and hopes their beasts will at least heed the call in their favor...These beasts also carry Chakra Pools depending on the rank (explained below), and much like a player, carry a particular Type. By default, the player may create only one Senior per rank. Further training can improve this, however.

So basically I can have 5 Seniors in a summoning family? Ranked D-S? Also, what does further training entail and how does that mean people can make more Seniors? Unless, of course, one Senior per rank means that I can only have one per rank summoned at a time.

The whole summoning thread and customs really confuses me, so I just want to clear it up so that I can get started making my bugz (y)

Hokay, halp is hurr. :3

1. Whatever rank the summon you are creating, has a maximum amount of exp it can contain in techniques. So that list shows how much exp it can have. Plain and simple. Don't over think that one. If you make a C-ranked summon, it can have at max 1k EXP, and those are the dimensions of how tall it can be.

2. Bear summons: no ideaaa on that. Fina's summoning information is newer, so I suppose back then maybe juniors could use jutsu? Can you show me a link to what you are referring to, it's probably out-dated or a special exception. .

3. For now, you can only have one senior summoning per rank. There is no outline described on how to specifically attain more, but I'm guessing some technique or "training" as the thread stated will allow for you to quest for more later on -- or something.

:c I hope this helps a biiit.
