K, since you guys are starting over my suggestion is to create 2 sub groups based on speciality

these should be, classic aikido and bushido
each group would have its leader and councilors and 10 ranks to put their members

the bushido group can choose between adding or not the following requirement
"to join the bushido specialists group you must first reach the Shodan rank on the Classic Aikido group"

but thats optional for their leader

the ranks would be a belt system, the difference is that bushido members will have the bushido kanji (武士道) written on their belt icon (and in their rank)

these are the ranks that I've thought, in order (they're the same for both, the only thing that changes is kanji thing)


NORMAL RANKS























EXCLUSIVE RANKS FOR COUNCIL MEMBERS









GROUP LEADER




BUSHIDO RANKS























EXCLUSIVE RANKS FOR COUNCIL MEMBERS









GROUP LEADER





tasks should be given to people in their belt, like:
player X reached 4th kyu (blue belt) and is now designed to help teacher with their students.



so yeah, this is my idea, opinions?
-----
and maybe add versions of these ranks so people can use their belt as textures (in the thight or leg should be good enough since we cant use it on groin properly)
-----
re-made the icons in minimalistic versions that would look good on a member list.
