Stat Upgrades(Training) Need grading~

Skill increase denied. Reason being that your character is physically incapable of doing what you described in your training thread.

Beginner Hoho means that your character is only slightly faster than the average human. He would have the speed of perhaps an Olympic runner, definitely faster than a normal person, but nowhere near fast enough to do thousands of sets in a single day.

In addition, you lack the physical strength to carry, let alone move, under the weight of your training weights. Unarmed combat is your general strength and fighting skill, and gives you an idea of how strong you are physically. At intermediate strength, you are comparable to the strongest human man. The most weight ever lifted by a single man was slightly over six thousand pounds, or three tons, but that was a backlift using every muscle in the legs and torso. Your character is stated to have been using 2 tons on the limbs and waist. Your character would die from that much weight, which is over three times their total limit.

Lastly, your single post supposedly covers 3 straight weeks of training, which means your character would not be allowed to participate in threads for the next three weeks, since Damnation uses real time. The day a thread is started is the day it takes place.

For an example of how to train under more realistic setting, you can read Hanzo's training experience, found here. Hanzo began as a recruit level character, the weakest you can be, and trained himself up through a few tiers. He should provide an adequate example.

Fixed Like requested It's been a month. Can you grade please.

After a month of training, you begin to see some results. Sithis' Hoho and Hado improve to Intermediate.

After another month of training, Sithis has started to perfect his own style of combat. His Armed Combat rises from Intermediate to Advanced.

As with many things, training alone can only take a person so far. The Sixth Squad's Captain is gradually reaching this personal threshold ceiling, and is beginning to experience diminishing returns in proportion to effort expended.


The Captain's Unarmed Combat has risen from Intermediate to Advanced as a result of the personal training he has undertaken thus far.


At this point, however, he concludes that to see further significant improvement gains, he needs specialist teaching in the target areas under a Competent instructor (a person with at least 2 levels higher in the skill than he is) OR through personal experience (actual combat or using those abilities in the field).


Summary of Current Gains (further skill ups MUST be the result of longer posts/threads and character RP interactions):

Hoho: Intermediate
Hado: Intermediate:
Unarmed Combat: Advanced (latest upgrade)
Armed Combat: Advanced

Warning: Your Hoho is the last skill that can improve this way, and the max level for stat increases like this will stop at Advanced for Combat/Hoho/Shunko, and Intermediate for Kido. This means that IF you want to raise kido skills above Intermediate (Hado/Bakudo/perception) and all other skills above Advanced, you MUST participate in actual RP posts
