Ex- Ninja // Missing-Nin
A Shinobi's allegiance to his home village is measure of honor in most societies, and should be heavily considered when determining one's actions. When a Front Line Shinobi disgracefully leaves his village or is exiled, he is declared a Missing-Nin, and may be executed without punishment by anyone. The Missing-Nin is no longer welcome in his former village excepting unusual circumstance, but may find refuge in another village depending upon the leadership of that village. A Missing-Nin who is not welcome in a village may not enter the village without resistance unless he attempts to enter in secrecy or through the use of a disguise.

Playing a Front Line Shinobi
Religion: Front Line Shinobi do not generally actively participate in religion, to a specific god or otherwise, though some may choose to believe as the Shinobi way of life does not actively conflict with most philosophies. Many Front Line Shinobi look to themselves or to their superiors as a source of guidance and power rather than a supreme being.

Other Classes: Front Line Shinobi may have a wide array of views on others ranging from those that may need protection to those that deserve to be controlled. Like any range of possibilities, most Front Line Shinobi tend to find themselves near the moderate middle ground of a non-voiced feeling of superiority to others that they do not feel have proven themselves. Front Line Shinobi can be slow to create friendships or alliances, but once formed, they serve as valuable and staunch allies.

Combat: The Front Line Shinobi is at home in the middle of combat, often initiating the fight with his superior speed or position. The Front Line Shinobi uses a mix of armed and unarmed Taijutsu techniques and ninjutsu to deal significant amounts of damage up close while providing a barrier between the enemy and his softer companions.
