[attr="class","opmindtopright"]Training System

[attr="class","opmindblurb1"]

In order to advance in skill here, one must partake in the training system, which is rather simple and easy to understand. Like most, modern RP sites, we work with an EXP system, meaning you gain EXP and then use it to purchase techniques. Where we differ is that we also have three other types of training methods that fall under the category of "Training Threads". These are the Solo Threads, the Group Threads, and the Special Threads. Each of these will be described in detail below, but if you still need more help understanding, you can PM a staff member. However, the XP amount needed to purchase things will not be placed within this thread.[break][break]

XP (aka "Experience") is the numerical points that each RP'er uses to purchase techniques. These points are not gained through regular posting and can only be gained through training threads or by completing crisis. For the most part, this is the simplest method for gaining techniques, but it is also the most trivial. This is because, in order for it to be challenging, the EXP that you gain has to be relatively low, or else you would be able to purchase techniques much too quickly and much too easily. However, Those threads that become harrowing and death-defying can be turned into training threads or even special threads after the fact if you believe that your character has been through enough to gain EXP.[break][break]

Solo Training - Solo Training Threads are the most basic form of training thread, and they serve, primarily, as a substitute for the EXP System. For those who grow weary of the numerical values and prefer to learn techniques through good ole RP'ing, this is the method for you. When learning a technique, you can learn it by studying a book or by studying under a teacher. This method can also be used to create techniques if you so choose, which will also bypass having to purchase your creations. However, if you create a technique that is not registered, you will still have to register it and have it subject to review. These threads may or may not be heavily scrutinized, though this mostly depends on your rank and the rank of the technique that you want to learn.[break][break]

• 10 post minimum
• 300 words per post (the word count and post are not heavily enforced so long as the post shows enough effort to actually learn what you were trying to learn)
• 5-10 bonus EXP for quality
• 5-10 bonus EXP for quantity

[break][break]

Group Training - Group Training Threads are a form of Normal Training Thread that is likely to be most common among organizations and teams. These threads do not need a teacher or leader but can have one. While these threads can be used like Normal Threads, they are most useful for gaining EXP outside of a crisis. The methods of training are limitless, ranging from things such as Tree Climbing to sparring to tactical lessons about formations. When graded by staff, we will assess the quality of the training as well as the writing of those participating, and according to that, EXP will be awarded to all members with the addition of a group bonus.[break][break]

• 5 Post Minimum (for each person involved)
• 500 Minimum Word Count (see word count and post addendum)
• 50 EXP Group Bonus
• 5-20 Bonus for Quality and/ or Quantity(Individual Basis)

[break][break]


Special Training Threads - Special Threads are training threads reserved for special and/or exclusive things as well as ranking up your chart stats and quirk grade. This includes special moves as well as the only way to learn a special move based on the special move of someone else. These training threads will be the most heavily scrutinized, and they also come with the greatest requirements for completion. We expect both great quantity and quality when you pursue these threads, and as such, they are not for the faint of heart. If your thread is reviewed and it is deemed unworthy of the reward, it will be, as opposed to completely disregarded, seen as the first part of a series of training sessions that will lead up to the reward. Over the course of this period, you may even receive some pointers from staff based on mistakes that we saw you make, which should, in turn, make future endeavors easier. However, simply to clarify, this is not necessary if you wish to create your own special move or up your chart stats or your quirk grade; it is only necessary if you wish to learn a special move that is based on or works like another character special move directly from them. With their permission and help of course. Which isn't to say you couldn't have your character create it on their own without help it will just be harder and would still be a special training thread.[break][break]

• 10 Minimum Post Count
• 1000 Minimum Word Count(see addendum)
• 30 - 70 EXP Bonus for Exceeding Word Count
• 5 - 30 EXP Bonus for Quality

[attr="class","opmindtopright"]Crisis System

[attr="class","opmindblurb1"]

On this site the staff, and members will create and delegate crisis which are essentially just incidents between the different alignments, though there will also be plot crisis, which shall be staff created, all members should have a chance for side-plot for their own character development or even to move along their own plot that they have been working on. There are certain rules to follow when creating your crisis such as all crisis are death enabled automatically though crisis below B rank have a very low chance of death, anyone can elect to do any crisis but if you do a crisis you are not ready for the staff will make it that much harder on you (though the rewards will be that much greater if you survive).[break][break]

Anyone can create a crisis and as soon as it is approved by the staff they can be posted to find people to take on the crisis with them, however, unlike most sites What a Time requires a duality to missions that are taken, what this means is that if your mission is protecting a building than that means someone is trying to attack it. So the mission of protecting someone is also a mission for your opposition to target the building. The mission cannot be started until you have someone who can fill the role as the opposition if after three days you cannot find someone staff can fill in as an NPC, but under no circumstances should anyone ever NPC their own opposition for their crisis.[break][break]

The specifics vary with each crisis but it can range from a misunderstanding between two factions I.E the building asked the police force for assistance protecting their building, however, the building is a front for villains and some vigilantes have decided to clear it out. Whoever succeeds in their mission gets to decide what the truth is in that scenario, however, it could also be more sinister. Whatever the case may be the job cannot be resolved until the opposition is taken care of first. Both sides get rewards no matter what though the losers only get half of what the posted reward is. This can start rivalries between groups and individuals and is a great way to build up character development and interactions while still working on the site and rank goals. 

Crisis Criteria

Not all Crisis are the same

D Rank[break]
Usually taken by to E and D ranked characters. They pose almost no risk to the character's life and usually consist of small time crimes like assault and robberies. These crises are usually done by people who cannot use their quirk too well which allows them more time to train and get their skills up. The reward for this is 170 xp and 170 dollars.[break][break]

C Rank[break]
Usually taken by D ranked or C-ranked characters. They are crisis with little to no chance of advanced quirk combat. Examples are guarding people, background investigations, eliminating or capturing villains, and capturing or suppressing wild animals. These crisis involve people who are more comfortable with their quirk but can barely cause life threaten damage. The reward for this is 255 xp and 255 dollars.[break][break]

B Rank[break]
Taken by experienced C rank or B rank characters. They are anticipated to involve combat with another advanced quirk user. Examples are guarding organizations, espionage, or killing another person. These missions are dangerous and involve a high risk of death if not careful. This crisis rewards 340 xp and 340 dollars.[break][break]

A Rank[break]
Taken by B rank or A rank characters, concerning, among other things, city-or state-level matters and threats. Examples are guarding VIPs or suppressing villain forces. These crisis are elite and can only be taken by the best of the best and sometimes even requires a team of them to get done. The rewards given to those who succeed are 420 xp and 420 dollars.[break][break]

S Rank[break]
These crises deserve A ranked characters and usually more than one, these crises concern world-level confidential matters. Examples are holding cities hostage, and assassinating world leaders. These crisis are the creme of the crop. Taking them should not be done lightly as anyone other than the best would almost certainly die completing these missions. These crises reward 510 xp and 510 dollars.

[attr="class","opmindtopright"]Conquest System

[attr="class","opmindblurb1"]

Here on WaT we allow members to take over pretty much whatever they have the balls to attempt to take over this is done by a show of martial might. This is usually used to take over unclaimed territory, however, the bolder members can attempt to take a territory that is controlled by a column of power or even take control other group territories up to and including even the entire nation. The way to take over the nation is to simply create a conquest thread (which acts as a special training) all this requires is to make the thread and put the [conquest] in the title. Once it is done anyone who wants to can challenge you, once the thread is posted the action cannot be taken back and those who own it can defend it with as many people as they wish though other can join the conquest in your defense if they so wish. NPC's are not allowed to engage in conquest battles. If there is no one to defend the area after 48hrs you may post again claiming the territory uncontested. While these threads are always Death Enabled that does not mean that someone has to die. The thread will be the individual or a group of people teaming up either setting up a base of operations to establish their own presence in a territory or taking over an already established territory by destroying the base of operations in the city.[break][break]

Each board that is controlled by a group needs at least one base of operations and can have up to three (with each one after the first needing a special thread to establish) the defenses for each base need to be mentioned beforehand. Meaning if you do not have a base defense thread at the time someone attacks you are considered to have an empty base with no defenses, these defenses are the only time NPC's can be in a conquest thread and they are considered e rank and very trash (easily defeated by any player character literally only good for killing time). These defenses can also be traps and weapons and don't have to be mook npcs. That being said territory can also be gained after peaceful negotiation.[break][break]

The conquest systems extends beyond just conquest threads for territory one can also take positions from another character this way. For example let's say we have a police force character that wants to be the head of the police force all one would have to do is challenge the head of the police force for their position. While the police force leader does not have to accept if the challenger is relatively strong and has a lot of influence themselves denying a request could cause his subordinates to lose faith in his strength and leadership which could result in a forced rebellion which can happen by the challenger getting other on his side and declaring war. War is a more active version of challenging where the challenger and those who have chosen to follow him attack the challenged (in this case the head of the police force) the police force head would then have to respond to a blatant attack like this. While the challenger does not need backers to declare war a lone member of an organization declaring war on the boss would be outnumbered and overwhelmed quite quickly. Like territory positions can also be passed on peacefully if one wishes.[break][break]

This system can also be used to forcibly take other people's support tools no matter if its a weapon or armor or even their money. This is done exactly how it sounds. During a thread with someone you can beat them up and take their stuff. This is extremely straight forward, however, because taking something off of someone's person can be considered god modding if one does not give them a chance to stop you it is only an attempt to take an item and the person who owns the item has a chance to defend against the theft. In these instances the attempted robbery will be rped out normally and if there is any issues with deciding who succeeded call for a staff member and they will decide based on what is most likely to happen based on all the characters involved as well as the quality of the writing done. Force is not the only way to take someone's things stealth can also be used, though the same rules apply. Also things can be peacefully given to someone else.[break][break]

Lastly quirk cultivation is a thing on this site. There are rare people in the world who know the ins and outs of quirks and how they work. These people are able to take quirks as well as give out quirks from others using various means (their own quirks, technology, surgery just to name a few). As of right now using a quirk is the only way to take a quirk from someone without them being recently dead and even with those quirks in order to cultivate a quirk from a live person it will need to be voluntary. Staff reserve the right to close this part of the system at any time because let's face it a site where there are a million people stealing quirks would get boring.[break][break]

[attr="class","opmindtopright"]Explosion System

[attr="class","opmindblurb1"]

Again charting it up and shit shout out to WitchDoctor (some may know him as Dots). Back to the action. As we all are probably aware by this point, shit blows up and to varying degrees here we will categorize and quantify the explosions. These explosions have ranges from a simple, singular explosion to city-wide destruction. That being said we got a chart to put everyone on the same page when it came to explosions and how powerful they are, this chart is based off the the ton of TNT system used in our world even though it makes no sense and explosions would be better based off of the Joules system but I am no scientist so I guess they know better. This system will serve to act as the baseline measurement for any and everything that involves explosions and will give a clear picture to everyone on just how damaging any explosion can be.

The Chart

We Got Charts For Days

[attr="class","opmindtopleft"]03

[attr="class","opmindtopright"]Affiliation System

[attr="class","opmindblurb1"]

The affiliation system is a simple one, all it tells staff is what side of the war (so to speak) you are on. The sides are simple enough The police force who "uphold justice" the vigilantes who "enforce their own justice" as well as the villains who "fight for themselves" and lastly the civilians who are sort of just around. While these are the basic descriptions anyone who lived in the world would know that while these systems for the most part are true they are much more complicated than that and people can flit between two or more of these affiliations at any given time. Affiliation as well as alignment and personality creates your persona which dictates how one reacts to things which when you come right down to it is all a person really is. 

Police Force

The Authority Figures

The police force are the quote unquote good guys within the world. The uphold the law but also create the law. As such there are those within the police force who are genuine heroes, however, there are also those who joined in order to use the power of the police force to hide their corrupt ways. As the police force just obtained its power there is no real system in place to check corruption within the police force besides members of the police force themselves. Because of this there are people who should be labeled Villains that are known as Vigilantes that the police force "look the other way to" and Heroes that are labelled as villains simply because they got on the bad side of someone within the police force.

Vigilantes

They Prefer to be Called Heroes

In another world these guys would be called superheroes. But in this world they are called vigilantes. People who take justice into their own hands are considered criminals to the police force, though due to the amount of quirk related crimes society calls them heroes. Because of this the police force cannot move against vigilantes too aggressively, with the more popular a vigilante is the more likely they are allowed to do what they do. Because of this there are some vigilante who openly fight crime and bring their bad guys directly to the police force and the police force act as if they didn't see a thing. On the flip side however there are some that are wanted for questioning and rather not be seen by the police force or risk being chased. However, even the vigilante who is chased by the police force will get nothing more than a slap on the wrist or maybe some community service (in public at least) making them vastly different from villains.

Villains

The Good Ole Bad Guys Maybe

Villains will always be villains there isn't much to say about these guys. For one reason or another these people have turned to a life of crime and the police force aggressively hunts them. Though as stated before that is just a general statement and isn't always the case. Also some of the people in this category can be considered heroes in another world as all it truly takes to be labelled as a villain in this world is to piss of the police force (and the police force as a whole is known to have short tempers) it is quite easy to end up within this affiliation for trying to save the world.

Civilians

The Regular Niggas

Contrary to popular belief not having a quirk does not automatically put one into this category. Most humans in the world are in this category and the only thing that is required to be within this list is to not fit into any of the other list. We do not expect too many civilians on this site but for those that do make them let it be known that you will in no way be hampered in what you can and can't do based on choosing this affiliation.

[attr="class","opmindtopp"]

[attr="class","opmindtopleft"]01

[attr="class","opmindtopright"]Alignment System

[attr="class","opmindblurb1"]

A creature's general moral and personal attitudes are represented by its alignment: lawful good, neutral good, chaotic good, lawful neutral, neutral, chaotic neutral, lawful evil, neutral evil, or chaotic evil. These are the natural breakdown of the alignments and for each one, it has its own title to make it easier to type up and remember. [break][break]

An alignment is a tool for developing your character's identity. It is not a straitjacket for restricting your character. Each alignment represents a broad range of personality types or personal philosophies, so two characters of the same alignment can still be quite different from each other. In addition, few people are completely consistent.[break][break]

Good characters and creatures protect innocent life. Evil characters and creatures debase or destroy innocent life, whether for fun or profit. "Good" implies altruism, respect for life, and a concern for the dignity of sentient beings. Good characters make personal sacrifices to help others. "Evil" implies hurting, oppressing, and killing others. Some evil creatures simply have no compassion for others and kill without qualms if doing so is convenient. Others actively pursue evil, killing for sport or out of duty to some evil deity or master.[break][break]

People who are neutral with respect to good and evil have compunctions against killing the innocent but lack the commitment to make sacrifices to protect or help others. Neutral people are committed to others through personal relationships. Being good or evil can be a conscious choice. For most people, though, being good or evil is an attitude that one recognizes but does not choose. Being neutral on the good-evil axis usually represents a lack of commitment one way or the other, but for some, it represents a positive commitment to a balanced view. While acknowledging that good and evil are objective states, not just opinions, these folk maintain that a balance between the two is the proper place for people, or at least for them.[break][break]

Lawful characters tell the truth, keep their word, respect authority, honor tradition, and judge those who fall short of their duties. Chaotic characters follow their consciences, resent being told what to do, favor new ideas over tradition, and do what they promise if they feel like it. "Law" implies honor, trustworthiness, obedience to authority, and reliability. On the downside, lawfulness can include close-mindedness, reactionary adherence to tradition, judgmentalness, and a lack of adaptability. Those who consciously promote lawfulness say that only lawful behavior creates a society in which people, can depend on each other and make the right decisions in full confidence that others will act as they should. "Chaos" implies freedom, adaptability, and flexibility. On the downside, chaos can include recklessness, resentment toward legitimate authority, arbitrary actions, and irresponsibility. Those who promote chaotic behavior say that only unfettered personal freedom allows people to express themselves fully and lets society benefit from the potential that its individuals have within them.[break][break]

Someone who is neutral with respect to law and chaos has a normal respect for authority and feels neither a compulsion to obey nor a compulsion to rebel. She is honest but can be tempted into lying or deceiving others. Devotion to law or chaos may be a conscious choice, but more often it is a personality trait that is recognized rather than being chosen. Neutrality on the lawful-chaotic axis is usually simply a middle state, a state of not feeling compelled toward one side or the other. Some few such neutrals, however, espouse neutrality as superior to law or chaos, regarding each as an extreme with its own blind spots and drawbacks. Nine distinct alignments define all the possible combinations of the lawful-chaotic axis with the good-evil axis. Each alignment description below depicts a typical character of that alignment. Remember that individuals vary from this norm and that a given character may act more or less in accord with his or her alignment from day to day. Use these descriptions as guidelines, not as scripts.

Crusader

Lawful Good

A lawful good character acts as a good person is expected or required to act. He combines a commitment to oppose evil with the discipline to fight relentlessly. He tells the truth, keeps his word, helps those in need, and speaks out against injustice. A lawful good character hates to see the guilty go unpunished.

Benefactor

Neutral Good

A chaotic good character acts as his conscience directs him with little regard for what others expect of him. He makes his own way, but he's kind and benevolent. He believes in goodness and right but has little use for laws and regulations. He hates it when people try to intimidate others and tell them what to do. He follows his own moral compass, which, although good, may not agree with that of society.

Rebel

Chaotic Good

A chaotic good character acts as his conscience directs him with little regard for what others expect of him. He makes his own way, but he's kind and benevolent. He believes in goodness and right but has little use for laws and regulations. He hates it when people try to intimidate others and tell them what to do. He follows his own moral compass, which, although good, may not agree with that of society.

Judge

Lawful Neutral

A lawful neutral character acts as law, tradition, or a personal code directs her. Order and organization are paramount to her. She may believe in personal order and live by a code or standard, or she may believe in order for all and favor a strong, organized government.

Undecided

True Neutral

A neutral character does what seems to be a good idea. She doesn't feel strongly one way or the other when it comes to good vs. evil or law vs. chaos. Most neutral characters exhibit a lack of conviction or bias rather than a commitment to neutrality. Such a character thinks of good as better than evil, after all, she would rather have good neighbors and leaders than evil ones. Still, she's not personally committed to upholding good in any abstract or universal way. Some neutral characters, on the other hand, commit themselves philosophically to neutrality. They see good, evil, law, and chaos as prejudices and dangerous extremes. They advocate the middle way of neutrality as the best, the most balanced road in the long run.

Free Spirit

Chaotic Nuetral

A chaotic neutral character follows his whims. He is an individualist first and last. He values his own liberty but doesn't strive to protect others' freedom. He avoids authority, resents restrictions, and challenges traditions. A chaotic neutral character does not intentionally disrupt organizations as part of a campaign of anarchy. To do so, he would have to be motivated either by good (and a desire to liberate others) or evil (and a desire to make those different from himself suffer). A chaotic neutral character may be unpredictable, but his behavior is not totally random. He is not as likely to jump off a bridge as to cross it.

Dominator

Lawful Evil

A lawful evil villain methodically takes what he wants within the limits of his code of conduct without regard for whom it hurts. He cares about tradition, loyalty, and order but not about freedom, dignity, or life. He plays by the rules but without mercy or compassion. He is comfortable in a hierarchy and would like to rule, but is willing to serve. He condemns others not according to their actions but according to race, religion, homeland, or social rank. He is loath to break laws or promises. This reluctance comes partly from his nature and partly because he depends on order to protect himself from those who oppose him on moral grounds. Some lawful evil villains have particular taboos, such as not killing in cold blood (but having underlings do it) or not letting children come to harm (if it can be helped). They imagine that these compunctions put them above unprincipled villains. Some lawful evil people and creatures commit themselves to evil with a zeal like that of a crusader committed to good. Beyond being willing to hurt others for their own ends, they take pleasure in spreading evil as an end unto itself. They may also see doing evil as part of a duty to an evil deity or master.

Malefactor

Neutral Evil

A neutral evil villain does whatever she can get away with. She is out for herself, pure and simple. She sheds no tears for those she kills, whether for profit, sport, or convenience. She has no love of order and holds no illusion that following laws, traditions, or codes would make her any better or nobler. On the other hand, she doesn't have the restless nature or love of conflict that a chaotic evil villain has. Some neutral evil villains hold up evil as an ideal, committing evil for its own sake. Most often, such villains are devoted to evil deities or secret societies.

Destroyer

Chaotic Evil

A chaotic evil character does whatever his greed, hatred, and lust for destruction drive him to do. He is hot-tempered, vicious, arbitrarily violent, and unpredictable. If he is simply out for whatever he can get, he is ruthless and brutal. If he is committed to the spread of evil and chaos, he is even worse. Thankfully, his plans are haphazard, and any groups he joins or forms are poorly organized. Typically, chaotic evil people can be made to work together only by force, and their leader lasts only as long as he can thwart attempts to topple or assassinate him.
