In Celestial, a special ranking system is applied.  Players are ranked by a numerical level, as well as using a different way to calculate ranking points.
In Celestial, a special ranking system is applied.  Players are ranked by a numerical level, as well as using a different way to calculate ranking points.


Each level starts with 10 Soul Points, and requires 20 to upgrade.  Each 100 ranking points will be converted to 0.1 Soul Points (with rounding up).  Losing all the points will lead to a downgrade.  The rank no longer persist forever as before; instead, players will be downgraded to Saint III if losing all the soul points in Celestial Lv. 1.

Currently there are 45 characters in game, including 33 females and 12 males.  Every new user is granted access to Ichihime and Miki Nikaidou.  Additional characters must be summoned via the gacha system, with Jade as currency or with the Summon Scroll item.  Jade can only be acquired via monetary purchase in the English version.
Currently there are 60 characters in game, including 41 females and 19 males.  Every new user is granted access to Ichihime and Miki Nikaidou.  Additional characters must be summoned via the gacha system, with Jade as currency or with the Summon Scroll item.  Jade can only be acquired via monetary purchase, while Summon Scrolls may be obtained via events, system mail as gifts, or purchase in the item shop.
 
A number of the characters remain in the mainline group for Mahjong Soul.  These are readily available throughout the year via gacha.  In addition, limited edition characters are/were temporarily available via collaborations with some anime series.


=== Bond System ===

Each character has a unique Bond Value. The value can be enhanced by gaming or gifting to unlock corresponding vocals and story plots. At the maximum affection level, all voice lines will be unlocked, and the character will read out yakus after winning a hand. Characters can be entangled to unlock new appearance as a skin that can be chosen, accompanying with 3 extra emotes.

If playing with a max-bond character, the bond values will be tracked such that every 1000 points grants a "bond gift". Similarly to other blue gifts, this can be given to another character to increase 1000 points of bond value, and also can be donated for 5 dust.

Gifts can be given to a character to increase your bond with that character (see [[Majsoul#Bond System|Bond System]] section) or turned into gold dust. 50 gold dust can be used at the lucky cat to attempt getting larger rewards, including a new character.

=== Stories ===
Stories are character-exclusive contents provided freely to players who owned the corresponding character.  Currently there're only 3 characters having story plots: Ichihime, Miki Nikaidou and Anju Suzumiya.  Stories can be accessed in each character's info page in dormitory.  The former 3 bonding stages contain <span title="text walls">novel-like descriptive contents</span>.  The latter 3 stages provide interactive contents, with multiple branches and different rewards correspondingly.  Higher stage contains better rewards.
=== Skins ===
Apart from standard and bonded skins of each character, more alternative skins can be acquired during events.  In the vast majority of cases, these skins both require monetary purchase, by using Outfit Vouchers.  Usually each static skin requires 880 vouchers, while animated requires 1,500, and both accompanying with one extra emote.
Unidirectionally, Outfit Vouchers can be converted to Jades by ratio of 1:1.  Though generally such exchange is not recommended, as purchasing Jades directly is much cheaper.  Jades cannot be converted to Outfit Vouchers, neither can Jades be used to purchase skins in any means.
=== Exclusive Characters ===
Exclusive characters are characters can be acquired only in a limited time, usually during an event.  Regular character pools do not contain them after the acquisition period.  Usually those characters are from animation / manga series, or collaborators.  A few of them are official characters but with rarity settings.
==== Collab Characters ====
Currently there're 5 collabs:
* Linovel: Collab from the light novel website [https://www.linovel.net/ ''Linovel''], including 1 character: Keikumusume.
* Saki: Collab from the manga series ''Saki: the Nationals'', including 4 characters: Saki Miyanaga, Nodoka Haramura, Koromo Amae, Teru Miyanaga.
* Kakegurui: Collab from the manga series ''Kakegurui XX'', including 4 characters: Yumeko Jabami, Mary Saotome, Midari Ikishima, Kirari Momobami.
* Akagi: Collab from the manga series ''Akagi: The Genius Who Descended into the Darkness'', including 2 characters: Shigeru Akagi, Iwao Washizu.
* Kaguya-sama: Collab from the manga series ''Kaguya-sama: Love Is War -Ultra Romantic-'', including 4 characters: Kaguya Shinomiya, Miyuki Shirogane, Ai Hayasaka, Kei Shirogane.
==== Self-exclusive Characters ====
Self-exclusive characters are official characters with a lower rate to summon, as well as requiring more faiths to exchange, and meanwhile, can also only be acquired in a limited time.  In exchange, the bonding stage rewards extra equipment or decorations, and their bonding skin is animated.
Currently only 1 character is officially exclusive: Kazuha Saionji.
