Pets & Summons

Pet-nin can be very useful. Every character has access to a single pet-nin (unless stated otherwise). Pets have no ranks of their own and have a maximum of three slots and two styles. While they can perform taijutsu and techniques designed for them, any techniques which require shaping chakra (such as elemental releases) require the pet's owner to perform the hand seals for them. Pet-nin can be anything: Birds, dogs, wolves, sharks, ect, as long as the user can make sense of it. Pet-nin are basic animals and, while they may appear more intelligent than their wild brethren, they are incapable of speech of understanding advanced and complex commands. Pets must be trained and all EXP comes from their owner.

As with pets, a every character has access to a single summoning contract (unless stated otherwise). Summons function differently than pets. They get larger profiles (Six slots and three styles) and can speak with their summoners or others. They can even shape and mold chakra themselves. A summoner who belongs to an animalistic bloodline (such as the Hoshigaki or Inuzuka) may only summon species similar to their own (Inuzuka can summons wolves, dogs, foxes where as a Hoshigaki can summon sharks, fish, eels, ect). Summons cannot train but start with techniques of their own.

In the end, both pets and summons use the same character template but have restricted slots and styles.
