so does this mean too that someone can just jump right in to a branch from being recruited or do they have to get a promotion to be in a branch

I'm having it so when they apply to be in the clan, they can apply to a certain branch.

The different application forms are for the different branches. If they just apply for the main branch, then they'd have to talk to us to switch.

So yeah, they can jump right into a branch, but that's why I added the ranks equivalent to Rumor.
