This thread is here only to offer guidelines for the description of your OC's starting set of abilities. What you are allowed to have depends on your age, and therefore the time your OC has had to gain more experience as a shinobi.
NOTE: If you don't know what jutsu are Genin-level, Chuunin-level and so on, you GO HERE (click) (look on the left sidebar and find the jutsu info menu). It will have explanations and links to lists of all techniques in the manga/anime. If you're making your own techniques, look at those in the same rank as the one you're making, to get an idea of how weak/strong it has to be.
Bear in mind you are not forced to list this many abilities. You can have less than that, but not MORE.
Basic shinobi abilities include: basic taijutsu (normal punches, kicks, dodges and blocks), using basic shinobi weapons (kunai and shuriken, exploding tags, smoke and light bombs, or any combination of these in a normal attack), Bunshin [Clone], Henge [Transform] and Nawanuke [Escape] (as in, escaping from binding ropes). Every shinobi that graduated from the Academy has these. Warning: They do NOT include Kawarimi (Replacement) and Kai (Dispel).
Also, your character has to specialize in something. Let's take some characters, for example.
1. Rock Lee can't use ninjutsu or genjutsu. Therefore, he specializes in taijutsu. That's why ALL of his techniques are taijutsu.
2. Kakashi Hatake can use anything, but he specializes in ninjutsu. Therefore, he will be in the posession of other techniques, but most of his will be ninjutsu.
3. And a more unique case. Kankurou uses puppets. Therefore, most of his techniques are puppet control skills. If he has any others, they are few.
So, before you go through the list below, pick your character's specialization. It cannot be two domains, just one.
The permissions are as follows:

Basic shinobi abilities.
One Genin-level technique of your choice, from your character's specialization domain.
