New players start with 0 graduations. During gameplay, characters can gain innate statuses. Acknowledged counts as one, and more may be awarded by the ST. If a character accumulates 4 innate statuses, the player gains a graduation. Players at higher graduations have higher Merit/Flaw caps and reduced cost for rarity merits, and certain characters can only be played by more experienced players.
