Welcome to the Academy! Introduction & Entry Papers

[i]A large area of OffTopic is briefly filled with the screeching sound of feedback. Following it is a voice.[/i] [b]Alignment[/b]: “Agh! That needs to be looked at. Testing, testing. Great, the PA system is working. Now then: Ladies, gentlemen and those of specific or unspecified gender, you have been invited to the new OffTopic Academy! [b][u]What is the Academy?[/u][/b] It is an area for those who wish to combine their skills and creativity in order to participate in a variety of challenges and assignments to put their strength, wit and abilities to the test, resulting in an overall improvement to your very being. [b][u]How does it work?[/u][/b] Every once in a while, the Academy shall go through a study session where you may participate in tasks to improve yourself as well as explore the Academy and interact with those that inhabit it. Every once in a while after that, there will be an assignment where you use everything you’ve learned in a real scenario in order to obtain a grade that shows your level in the Academy to everyone else. Your success in these tasks and assignments will be determined by your creativity, luck and Stats. [u][b]What are Stats?[/b][/u] Stats are the basic summaries of your very being that represent a certain aspect of yourself. They can be improved through study sessions. The stats are as follows: [b]Strength[/b]: Your strength determines your physical prowess in terms of power. A good strength stat is very useful in activities such as striking opponents and lifting heavy objects. [b]Dexterity[/b]: Your dexterity determines your reflexes and movement capabilities. A good dexterity stat is very useful in activities such as avoiding attacks or committing act that require extreme precision, like aiming a weapon. [b]Defense[/b]: Your defense determines your overall constitution and physical tolerance. A good defense stat will be useful in activities such as blocking attacks and resisting any physical or unnatural occurrences. [b]Energy[/b]: Your energy determines your proficiency in unnatural abilities, such as magic or quantum control. A good energy stat will be useful as you use your non-physical abilities. [b]Intellect[/b]: Your intellect determines your mental comprehension and awareness. A good intellect stat will be useful in activities such as working with technology or observing your surroundings. [b]Charisma[/b]: Your charisma determines how well you interact with other living beings. A good charisma stat will be useful in activities such as gaining the trust of others and getting away with vile deception. All of these stats will improve your chances of success through Dice Rolls. [b][u]Dice Rolls?[/u][/b] Dice Rolls represent your chances of success in a number range between 1-20. The results are as follows: [b]1[/b] = Catastrophic failure. An outcome that often puts you in serious danger. Stats are unable to help you if your roll is a 1. [b]2-5 [/b]= Failure. Outcome can be altered if your Stat for the action can bring your roll to a higher number. [b]6-10 [/b]= Consequential success. You succeed in your action, but at some sort of cost. Outcome can be altered by Stats. [b]11-14[/b] = Success in your action. Outcome can be altered by Stats. [b]15-19[/b] = Advanced success. You succeed in your action and extra beneficial effects occur. Outcome can be altered by Stats. [b]20[/b] = Perfect success. You succeed in your action with no flaws whatsoever and the benefits are major. Stats can’t change the outcome. In addition to your Stats, Creativity Points will also change the outcome in your favor. [b][u]What are Creativity Points?[/u][/b] Creativity Points positively change the outcome of your action if your action is considered to be creative. CPs will be added in your Dice Roll, but will not be shown. [u][b]Entry Papers[/b][/u] Come to the Academy to receive and fill out the paperwork. This will grant you entry to the Academy as well as teach me what I can expect from you. Please note that you must update this form when you undergo any sort of change, such as if you’ve transformed in someway, defeated a dastardly villain and gained their powers, or if you’ve just gotten a new toy. For Stats, you will be given 50 points to distribute across every Stat, meaning that the sum of all of your Stats can’t exceed 50. For every 5 points in a specific Stat, there will be a +1 added to the roll in an action that requires that Stat. I’ve got an example here if you want to take a look.
