No. But it would help if your character is somewhat on the same wavelength as the other characters. Most will be around chuunin level (it is a very rough estimate), so going full Madara or retard-Naruto could be frowned upon. As per the canon, one can be a genin and still be on the level of chuunin. The rank of jounin is off-limits however as it could create a power-struggle in the village that we don't want.

Right.  I was actually looking to be a little bit lower than Chunin and not above it.  I like to have a lower rank in things because I think it gives more room for development.
