What is a training session?
A training session occurs when one character is interested in gaining power, but has no one to spar with, or is pacifistic and disavows spars in the interests of their own nature. A character can basically go to an area, such as the Arena (or anywhere...), and either practice their abilities by shooting at targets they've set up or lifting heavy objects... Basically it's pretty open, be creative though.
Short story, or post chat transcript...
Players are allowed to either write up a short story of their characters training, or go into a chatroom and type the whole thing out and then post the transcript. Both methods are perfectly acceptable, however, there should be absolutely no chat transcript from any other characters in your training sessions. If you do a training session from inside the chats, do it alone.
Things to remember...
Training sessions don't have to be done in any particular place. A character could go to the forest and pratice leaping between branches, or he could go to the beach practice his speed by running across the surface of the water. Like I said before, it's pretty open, but be creative.
All training sessions must be posted in the "Training Session" forum located on the main forums of Solaris RPG.
All posted training sessions must be tagged properly when posted!
Training sessions are judged by detail and length. You will not get points for a few sentences and any submitted sessions must be a minimum 250 or more words. Point rewards will be explained later...
There is no limit to how often you can submit a training session, but there is a limit to how many points you can gain per session. This limit is explained in the chart below.
There should be NO chat transcript from other characters included in your own training session. (This would turn it into an "RP for PL" session.) Training sessions should be done alone, preferably not even in the chatrooms but written as a "story" in a word processor and posted.
If you are caught trying to post repeat training sessions (the same one over and over) you will be unable to submit future training sessions, as that character again. Your character will also lose a total of fifty percent of his entire power level. THIS IS CHEATING! DON'T TRY TO DO IT.
Even though it sometimes makes a lot of sense, characters should not come out of a training session with any items. Training sessions are for power gains only.
No training session may involve any NPC (creatures or otherwise) without permission from a staff member or administrator.
Power gains from Training
Point rewards for training sessions go by two things, your characters current level and how long the training session is. The chart below shows EXACTLY how many points a character gets for a specific amount of words in a training session by his level. The limit to a training session is 1,500 words. It is cut into sections of 250. This means that if you do a session of 249 words, you don't get anything for it. For a session with 999 words, you only get points for 750 because you didn't complete the 1,000, and so on up to a max of 1,500 at a time. Please review the following for more information on point rewards. Why do we do this? Because generally, people type up solo training sessions on their own in a word processor. This allows them to keep track of how many words they've typed, unlike an RP for EXP session.
