CHERUB (Child Spies) - Starting 14th May

MariaRowlands · 2012-03-26T03:25:42Z

You got home from school to find the ambulance at your house. Your only reletive has just died. Now you have nowhere to go so you go to Nebraska Orphanage. You get into some trouble and then get knocked out. When you wake up you are in a strange place called CHERUB, your wearing an orange shirt and a pair of shorts. Welcome to your possible new home. Now, since you are a smart and fit kid, you are being given the chance to become a spy. Pretty cool, right? WRONG! You said yes but you are going through hell to reach your goal. Here is the main details. Profile: Name: Age: (Between 9-12) Gender: Appearance: History: Abilities: Strengths and Weaknesses: Up for love?: Extra: Extra Information: Recruitment CHERUB agents need to meet strict criteria for physical fitness and intelligence. They are usually orphans who do not have surviving aunts, uncles or grandparents (Exceptions can be made where a surviving relative is serving a long prison sentence, mentally incapable or barred from contacting their children by legal mechanism such as a restraining order). Finding children who meet all these criteria, while simultaneously not advertising the fact that you are looking for them, has been a problem throughout the history of CHERUB. The organisation has a long standing aim to increase the number of CHERUB agents from the present level of 280 to around 400. At the end of 2008 a new measure was introduced to help with the recruitment problem. For the first time, the children of retired agents who are single parents, or who are married to another retired CHERUB, can be admitted as agents if their parents allow it. Recruitment age CHERUB agents are usually recruited between the ages of six and twelve years old. Occasional exceptions to this rule are made, usually where a prospective recruit has a younger sibling aged four or five. Recruitment Mission A mission undertaken by a CHERUB agent for the specific purpose of recruiting another agent. A single agent is typically sent to live in a children’s home for 4-6 weeks. Their job is to evaluate all the other children in the home, in the hope of finding suitable candidate for CHERUB. These missions are essential, but they do not have the prestige of more glamorous missions that involve serious crime or terrorism. Often, a recruitment mission will be given to a cherub who has misbehaved on campus, or performed badly on another mission. Recruitment Tests Recruitment tests are carried out when a prospective agent first arrives on CHERUB campus. All potential CHERUB agents are rigorously vetted. Only candidates with a high probability of qualification will be brought to CHERUB campus under sedation. There are two categories of tests when potential recruits arrive on campus: (1) For recruits aged under 10. Potential red shirts undergo a detailed medical examination which typically lasts around three hours. Strength, endurance, coordination, speed and eyesight are among the systems tested. After the physical tests, recruits aged 8 or older are usually asked to sit a written exam. The intelligence of younger recruits is gauged through informal observation and play. (2) Recruits aged 10-12 years Recruits aged 10+ are expected to enter basic training within a few months of arriving on campus. After a medical examination they undergo a day long series series of challenges designed to test mind and body to the absolute limit. Any kid who breaks down during this testing is highly unlikely to be able to last 100 days of basic training. Customization Recruitment tests are designed to explore a candidate's known strengths and weakness. For example, a candidate who is scared of heights may be asked to jump from the highest point of the obstacle course. Shirt Colours and Their Meanings The orange shirt is worn by potential recruits and guests on CHERUB campus. The high visibility colour serves as a warning. CHERUB agents are only allowed to talk to someone in an orange shirt if the Chairman or another senior staff member gives them permission. Red shirts are worn by cherubs who are not qualified to enter basic training. This is usually because they are under 10 years of age. Cherub accepts children from age 6 upwards. Sometimes a younger child is admitted if they have an older brother or sister. The red shirt is the only one made in very small sizes. The blue shirt is worn under the following circumstances: (1). By a newly recruited agent, over ten years of age who is waiting for the next session fo basic training to begin. (2) By recruits who are in basic training. Under these circumstances the shirts also have a trainee number printed on them. Grey: This is what you earn if you make it through 100 days of basic training and qualify as an agent. Roughly 90% of CHERUB agents will be promoted to higher ranking black or navy shirts before they retire. The navy t-shirt is awarded to a grey shirt CHERUB agent for an outstanding performance on a single mission. Note: Once a black or navy shirt is awarded, you cannot be demoted. More than 90% of CHERUB agents will be promoted to navy before retiring. Black: The black shirt is usually awarded to a navy shirt agent for outstanding performance over a number of missions. On rare occasions, grey shirt agents who have been on a very long mission have been allowed to skip the navy shirt entirely. Black and navy shirts are awarded at the discretion of the chairman. 50% of CHERUB agents can expect to receive a black shirt before they retire. White: Most Cherub agents retire at 17 or 18 years of age. They get given a white shirt when they come back to visit friends on campus or attend a reunion. Some CHERUB staff also wear the white shirt, usually those in the athletics or training departments. If you are still confused go to this website http://www.cherubcampus.com/world.htm . Enjoy!

Thank you NNP
