Oh no, now that you've hyped everyone, it'll be likely I'll disappoint. xD

I've got three other posts to write up (I write in the order I'm assigned, so this comes last... I am very behind), and then this'll get all my attention.

Examination Arc Outline



While there were preliminary tests to get into Battleschool, the real test begins on arrival. Battleschool has a long tradition of putting its new students through a practical exam the first week of school. This exam is designed to test student’s abilities to think on their feet and to use their abilities to adapt and survive.

The exam is a baptism by fire style test, with applicants given no time to prepare or learn about what the exam entails. The exam is different each year and instructions are given step by step.

Students are not allowed to take anything in with them to the exam. Anything they brought with them except the clothes on their back is strictly forbidden. Students are given the opportunity to use the weapons and gear provided or to make their own, but they cannot use anything they brought with them.

There is a staging area in which applicants are given three hours to choose or choose whatever gear they need before the exam starts. The applicants may stay at the staging area after the exam begins and they may return at any time, but the exams will continue without them, possibly placing them behind or at a disadvantage.

The exam is pass/fail. Applicants who fail will be sent home with an option to try again next year. Those who pass will become students.

The exam tasks are completely random and created by the whim of the headmaster. To try to keep up with this idea, I will only be releasing one task at a time. After the completion of the first task by a member of the SB, I will announce the next one. They will be designed to test your character’s limits and comfort zones as well as to try to help reveal those coveted weak points.


If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, let me know.

Gonna post for Dimitri now ^^
Dorian, are you the one adding all the spices to our food?
Of course I am.
Why?
Because frankly the food here tastes like poorly cooked sawdust. It genuinely tastes how Solas looks.

I know it's foolish of me, but I really can't resist joining. Can I jump the bumper of this school bus?

My application, should you choose to accept it, is a Southernlands Summoner who only summons imps, and fights as their honorbound and hammy general.

Then I'll post later today, and I think I'll bump Esedra on her arrival.

Got my post up. Roughshod, but a good intro.

Just Posted for Sullivan. We are now moving to the pre-exam phase. There will be a dinner and a social, which will give you all one more time to have the OCs interact before exams start.

@LordZeus

I will probably have Devon and Sullivan meet via Cassandra as I would rather them not first meet during exams as that may cause some... tension. I hope that is alright with you.
