Alright. I'm glad you understand Oath. Though, there is the chance that I will be able to work on a post with you. It just doesn't seem probable. My next post (that I'll write either Fri or Sat) will probably only cover shunpo, so detention may have to wait till next week for me. Yeah, I'll be falling behind, but I'll be able to catch up. I don't really want to do a long-arsed post if I don't HAVE to, but I will if need be. I guess really, it depends on how long I have on the computer over the weekend. I may not be able to be on all day. It would be nice to finish my day off in one really long post so that I'm to the tests for when you guys get there. Speaking of which, I have a more detailed explaination for you all!

Swordsmanship

Demonstrate your character's knowledge of the sword. Basic stances, thrusts, slashes, and slices will be preformed for this test. Do not perform combos, aerial assaults, or advanced swordplay. This tests the basics. It shows your character's knowledge of the basic information regarding swordplay. If you know nothing, look swordplay up (OMG writers actually research) or ask an RP member who seems to know. I don't want these tests to be as hard as a real one. Obviously, you've already decided (Or have a general idea of) what's going to happen with your characters.

If you major or minor in this subject, your character will rank into an A or B level class.

If swordsmanship was not one of your choices, where you are placed is up to you.

Kidou

BASIC, BASIC spells. I know in my original explanation I didn't really give you much of an idea of acceptable spells. I'll include a list at the bottom of this section. In the beginning of the test, your character will demonstrate how quickly and easily he or she can mold spirit energy and form it into a sphere on their hand. Characters will repeat this a couple of times, before moving onto the next section of the test. Spellcasting. Characters will be casting the spells on a medium ranked shinigami. How he/she is described is up to you guys. Add onto what the first person says about them. Mold the character your own way. You may also choose to have the shinigami tire from being under all the spells and bring in a new one. Spells that must be performed are as follows:

-binding spell #1 restrain (the first sai is evidently used with “first” replacing “#1” and “sai” probably meaning something along the lines of “restrain” . However, please do not use this version)

-destructive spell #4 White Lightning

I am not going to ask you to heal as of yet. It seems to me that since not all shinigami learn to heal, it may be a special class. I'll work out all the gory little details when a character who wants to be a healer gets to a point where he/she is going to need to take the course.

If you major or minor in this subject, your character will rank into an A or B class level.

If Kidou was not one of your choices, where you are placed is up to you.

Shunpo

If you guys were to go overboard with a test, this would be the one. Your character will NOT be doing all out shunpo. They'll be doing two successive jumps, one right after the other. Characters will be graded on the overall length that they jumped, as well as how far they got with each jump. To measure, they'll carry a stick. Not like one from a tree. Just a little marker. As soon as the character's feet touches the ground, drop it and then jump again.

Single jump

12.1 feet to 13.5 feet for class A
8-12 feet for class B
2-7.9 feet for class C
below 2 is a fail

Overall

24-26 feet for class A
16-23 for class B
4-15 feet for class C

There'll be some variations between the two jumps. I expect the second one to be smaller. >_> Logic people. That's why the length of both individual jumps and overall jumps will be graded. It shows the difference between the first and second jumps as well as how far your character can go. Basically, how you need to pace yourself to get farther faster. Ideally, you don't want much of a difference between the two jumps.

Notice I said to 13.5 for class A. I don't want ANYONE going over that number (for single jumps). That's the only reason I set the boundaries. I know you all are level headed, but I still don't want you to, even accidently, go too far. That's never fun. >_>

I know these numbers seem small. But, we're just figuring out the methods. Distance is not going to be very different from normal jumping right now. The method is just different.

If you major or minor in this subject, your character will rank into an A or B class level.

If shunpo was not one of your choices, where you are placed is up to you.

Written Test

Ah yes! Everyone's favorite! The written portion. We did not study any of the material on the test, so how your character performs is based on the knowledge they have of Soul Society prior to entering the academy. Most of them will know about the Arrancar. We're under the impression that the arrancar caused quite an uproar before they were put down, so we have a basic understanding of them. I don't want anything huge on this test. Just basic questions that people have probably heard about through gossip or news.

Big topics to be discussed here:

-arrancar (nothing like “What espada number was Ulquiorra”)

-current captains

-zanpukto

-duties of shinigami

I'll give 5 sample questions. The test will be closer to 50, but I don't expect you to list them all. Simply use these five, or use SOME of these and add your own on. You will not ace this portion unless your character is a gossip queen/king. I don't expect a lot of A classes, or even B's. Most of us will probably end up in a C class on these subjects (at first). However, where you want to be placed is up to you. Though, make the decision based on your character's personality. I'll put up the sample questions now, but before I do I'd like to tell you that I'll be putting a class list at the end of this. Not a schedule, just a class list. It will tell you what classes this affects. I should think it obvious (once you see the list), but if you need clarification, let me know.

Sample Questions:

1)Who is the current Captain of division ten? HINT: He is the youngest captain

2)Who led the arrancar in the attack on the king of Soul Society/Karakura Town? HINT: He is a former shinigami captain

3)True or false. Zanpukto are the physical manifestation of the shinigami's memory. (the answer is false before you become confused. Though, this part of the question wouldn't be on the test…)

4)What kind of souls to shinigami perform konso on? (good/bad; pluses/hollows)

5)What is the reason you are in the academy? (What job are you trying to acquire?)

30-50/50 for Class A.
20-29/50 for Class B
2-19/50 for Class C
below 2 is a fail


Hand-to-Hand Combat

Ok, we didn't have a class for this. So, we're saying that hand to hand was originally part of swordsmanship. Therefore, you'll have a portion on it in the test. Basic punches, kicks and blocks will be demonstrated. Characters will be practicing against another shinigami, once again. And, once again, I don't expect anything fancy.

If you major or minor in this subject, your character will rank into an A or B class level.

If hand-to-hand combat was not one of your choices, where you are placed is up to you.

Class List

Swordsmanship
Nature of Zanpukto
Shunpo
History of Soul Society
Hand-to-Hand Combat
Kidou

Please PM me with the "grade of classes" you want your character to take. Do not take all A's. You may take all B's, or all C's if you choose. I say that if you major in something you'll be in the A or B class, but if you think it's vital for your character's development to take a C class (or you just want to), go right ahead.

If you don't plan to move on to normal classes and remain in basic training, PM me or post in the thread. I already know Andro is (with Steph) so you're covered. Though, I would like you to PM me with what classes Kagashi is taking. ^^

If you have any questions on this, want to add a class to the list, and/or think something within the tests should be modified Pm me or post here. I don't want anything set in stone right now. ^^;;

I apologize for any of the mistakes in this post. xD I tried to omitt as many as possible, and I'll probably be editing the mpost more and more for the next five minutes. ^^;;
