Ok maybe its the fever that had this idea, but im positive i found the solution to the ranking problem. and since i feel so genious im gonna do this in a scientific way with intro ductions and all of that.
and so, we each brought up ideas on how to make the ranking system. the problem to the ideas that werent retarded i.e jetzt's start at level 5 and work up idea (just teasin ya jetzt, friendly pokes ), was that someone would complain about their level/rank.
and so after playing and leveling up in kotor II, it came to me! EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER HERE has strengths AND weaknesses. and so i wanted the system to include all of these. and so i came up with this.
we select categories which to rank such as, but not limited to; strength, speed, dexterity, intellegence, tactical abilty, Dueling, Ect. rank what the character has in each category out of 10. The Average number, will be that person's determening rank.
here, I will demonstrate with Test subject, Bob
Strenght: 2 speed: 8 dexterity: 9 intellegence: 6 tactical abilty: 1 dueling: 1 force abilty: 4
TOTAL RANK: 4.43 (i say go to two decimals in case people have similar ranks)
also somthing else that wuld reflect your rank, would be your position in your faction.
than if we really want, each range of number could represent on rank, but that is getting off the subject.
and that is my idea, please read through the whole thing, and than vote.

I said no for only one reason. Some of the ratings that you can have could end up being meaningless if you chose to invest in them. Just like in KotOR 2, half of the stuff you could get would end up being very pointless in the long run, and I dont want that to happen to me.

No bad...But it could be better..
Lets say that that sith lord and jedi master would have a total rank of 8 out of 10. Then they may choose the ability they want to make there rank to 8.
like
Padawan, Sith apprentice Total rank: 5 Jedi knight, Sith acolite Total Rank: 7 Jedi Master, Sith Lord Total Rank: 9 Head of the Council, Dark Lord Total Rank: 10

Bartok- because your ranks are chosen for you, you dont make them yourself.
Dex- those are not the final categories, that was just to show what a sample would be, the categories are liable to change.

the ranks will be given fairly based on the categories which are taken from your abilty to rp. and people cant really complain, because its based on how the rp. they want better stats, they need to rp better.

kanji- ranks are not given by faction leaders. they are given by one or 2 people to everyone. so even a freelancer like you will get one.
