Training Threads

There are four types of training threads you can engage in, and each one yields different benefits.

1) Solo Training - This type of training thread requires you to interact with no other players. How you choose to do this is up to you, but you may only make one post a day, until you reach 10 posts. If you are training an Associate Character (AC) at the same time, their Stat gain is equal to half of yours. Staff may assign bonus Stat Points based on how well your write.
(1 Solo Training Post every 2 weeks. Marked with the Thread tag [SOLO])

2) Spar Training - This type of training thread calls for you to interact with other players (usually in the same faction but not necessarily) by having their character fight yours. This is preferably done 1-Vs-1, but you may go as high as 4-Vs-4 if you think you can keep it organized. For every 10 posts a player makes in this type of training, they get Stat Points (detailed below). A total of 30 Stat Points per character can be earned in a thread. AC's gain 1/4 of the Stats their Main Character gains. Staff may assign bonus Stat Points based on how well you write, and fight.
(Marked with thread tag [SPAR ?-VS-?])

3) Skill Training - This type of training thread is can be done on your own, or you may have another character teach you. This is the type of thread when you are trying to learn a Class Ability, or learn a new Staff Approved Attack. If you do this Solo, you need 3 posts over 3 days. If you do it with a teacher, you can accelerate your training as you would a spar, but you need at least 5 posts each. You also get 10 Stat Points for completing this training.
(Marked with thread tag [SKILL])


For every 10 posts in a Solo or Spar training thread, differently ranked characters will get the following Stat Points:

Captain-class (Start with more than 300 Stat Points): 10 Stat Points for every 10 posts, to a maximum of 50 in one week.

Soldier-class (Start with less than 300 Stat Points): 20 Stat Points for every 10 Posts, to a maximum of 40 in one week.

 All characters will also receive 1 Reiryoku point per training thread, and just like with Stats, Staff may assign bonus Reiryoku for good posting. 

Statistics Breakdown

Reiatsu: Spiritual Pressure, or the manifestation of your spirit energy; Every one that can see spirits has this. The stronger your Reiatsu, the more of energy you can use for spells and attacks, and the greater your resistance to other spirit energies.

Strength: Your physical strength, or how much force is behind your average blow. Higher Strength means you do more damage, and you can more easily defend from the attacks of others.

Speed: How swift your movements are. Your Speed effects more than your movement, it also effects your attacks. How fast you swing your sword, dodge, or cast a spell are all important factors of battle.

Combat Skill: How skilled you are in your chosen combat arts. Strength and swiftness may mean a lot, but if you're opponent's combat experience trumps yours you may still find yourself at a disadvantage.


Advantage Differences

Reiatsu: Reiatsu effects your proficiency with Kidou, and with Energy-based attacks. Every 20 points more you have than your opponent is a minor milestone, and gives your spells and attacks an advantage over there's. Reiatsu can also be used to effect your enemies movements: At 40 points more you can slow their reaction time by 10 Speed points. At 80 points more you can slow their reaction time by 20 Speed points, and even knock them to the ground at the cost of being unable to use movement inhibiting effects for 3 turns. At 120 points more you can slow them by 30 Speed points, and knock them down at the cost of disabling movement inhibition for 2 posts. At 200+ points more you can slow them by 40 Speed points, and you can hold them down for a full turn, at the cost of disabling movement inhibition for 5 turns.

Strength: A measure of your physical might, your Strength effects your offensive and defensive capabilities. Every 10 points is a minor milestone, giving you a slight advantage if your opponent blocks or parry's your attacks. At 50 points more you can power through a block with no effort, causing your opponent to flinch [Weapon Skill may effect this flinch]. At 100+ points more all attempts to block your attack turn into parries, and cause your opponent to flinch [Combat Skill may effect this flinch].

Speed: More than just how fast you can run, Speed effects your dodges, attacks, spell casting, and your overall reaction time. Every 20 points more you have than your opponent is a minor milestone. At 40 points more your reaction time is enough to identify an enemies attack and make a physical attempt to stop them (in the reverse, your opponent has only enough time to parry you and flinch in surprise [Weapon Skill does not effect this flinch]). At 80 points more, you can counter an enemies' spell with your own and have them connect closer to your opponent, and unless you are taken by surprise (another enemy from behind, unknown boomerang effects etc) you can dodge all attacks. At 120+ points more your attacks and spells are nigh undodgeable except in two cases: 1) Outside interference 2) Pre-planned defense (i.e someone is waiting for you to use a trump card they've witnessed before and has a plan [Needs to be exactly 120 Speed points less, any slower and their defense plan fails]).

Combat Skill: Ranging from proficiency with your main weapon to your skill in unarmed combat, Combat Skill is a measure of your combat abilities while at your peak. Every 10 points is a minor milestone. At 50 points more you can block and parry an attack from a stronger opponent without flinching [If unarmed, Speed must also be 20 points higher]. At 100 points more, you can disarm opponents with lower Attack and you can stop stronger opponents from forcing your to parry [If unarmed, Speed must also be 40 points higher]. (The Speed requirements for unarmed combat can be negated if you're weapon is an augmentation type like brass knuckles, armor, or similarly covers their limbs, or similarly reduced with Hand-to-Hand Reiryoku Skills)
