[@Expllo] For attributes, I'm assuming that characters start off defaulting to average and can move them around in that category? Also a bit confused at how novice/average/good doesn't line up with unseated/seated/lieutenant/captain in the ability list.

Novice/Average/Good is essentially me asking you how good you are at said skill. There was a character I believe that said he was poor at Kido so he would be Novice while he focuses on Zanjutsu, he would likely fall into the Good category. Think of good as, above your average Shinigami level or the area you would like to begin specializing in.

While the attribute list is more so categorized to give meaning to the point system, the rank isn't relative to how skillful you are but how powerful said ability is. So, a Captain would be able to get a Captain-Level ability for 7 points, while someone under that rank would take longer to learn such ability so the cost would be 14 points.

It's RP vs Mechanics. I should have made that clearer in the op, sorry bout that.
