S.H.I.E.L.D Academy & Headquarters discussion

Have any questions? Ask them here :)

When are we going to start? :D
Oh, and also, you might want to change the name of the group to make it different somehow, I know of two groups already named SHIELD Academy. :)

Wow, seriously? TWO?!?

Your two, I think. :P

Ah. I'm here for another 20-30 min., btw.

Well that's probably cause that's what it's called xD But I'll think about something more original ^.^

And we'll open the roleplay when there are at least five characters approved.

;) Okay!

i'm not the best at advanced and might slip between occasionally is that alright? or should i leave now before i slip up?

No, of course not! I appreciate you telling me though :) This is just for you, but I won't give you any warnings for slipping up, just because you told me :) But if it gets to frequent, I will have to give you a reminder.

ok thanks because i go through all 3 when things preoccupy me like my exams at the minute

I completely understand, I'm in the middle of exams right now to, don't worry about it.

:) my GCSE's are the worst the trails are what i am doing currently

So for the Special Agents claims, does there have to be a specific area of expertise for them?

They belong to the same divisions as the other agents: Operations, Communications, and Science and Technology. Usually they belong to Operations because most Specialists are Special Agents due to their skills in combat. They pretty much make up an entire team, if not two whole teams. At least one Specialist is sent on an important mission, like one that is in a different country or the fate of humanity depends upon, as back up. Should the original team fail, the specialist will be sent in to complete the mission. They could also be sent in to finish a mission quicker than a team would be able to.

Does that help?

How many special agents can one person have?

I would say just one for now, at least until the group grows larger.

Alright ^-^

How many claims can we have overall? I'm probably going to stick with one, I'm just wondering. ;)

It will depend on what claims you already have. Say you have a "Head" or the Director, then you'll likely only be allowed two, and the second one would have to be not as big, such as a Specialist or an Assistant Head. If you have one that isn't as big, you could claim up to three. However, if the group grows larger, this might change.

Okay, thanks! :)

No problem!

Em, how many paragraphs do we have to post every time?

There isn't a specific number. As long as you are not posting one-liners, it doesn't really matter. However, if it gets too short, I will have to give a reminder ^.^

Ok! Thx!

No problem!

Do we have a specific thread we're going to start roleplaying in?

No, not really. I'll put up a Roleplay Request topic though. You can simply rp wherever you want :)

All right. :)

When does a trainee become a full member

Once they complete all four years at the Academy, a graduation will be held for their class and all the students will become Level One agents.

Oh, that's right, we probably need an Academy folder. :P

Cool so how does time work in this rp? Is it the same as our time?

@C.B.
I got one, just haven't gotten around to making the topics in it yet ^-^

@Jess
Yes, I was planning on it being the same as our time. But we'd have to pick a general time, as not everyone is in the same time zone. I'd say...Eastern Time? That's where I live, and it'll be easier for me to watch as a mod with that :P

Ah, good. ;) I'm in CST, so EST isn't too far off for me. But then again, we won't all be on at the same time, so doing it in real time might not work well.

Maybe not...I'll figure it out. Maybe I'll do a poll...

Ooh, good idea.

Ok so a year in real life is a year in rp time?

Perhaps. I'll see what's most popular within the group as to time.

I'm fine with using real life time, or if people want to do something else then that's fine too.

Do you think we could have a weapons lab topic in the SHIELD Headquarters folder?
And maybe a folder for housing agent characters and characters in the academy?

Could we have a topic that lists the different characters? Something like the character claim, but with the characters, their positions, and who plays them.

Sure! I'll get to that as soon as I'm home!

Kk!

Another question. Would the Director and Assistant Director lead actual teams of agents, or would their "team" be the heads?

Is that the answer for my questions as well Ari? Can't tell lol

Director and A. Director can lead teams in missions as well, but they usually will not be just regular members of a team.

Yes Bailey, that was to both of you! ^-^

Ok thank you =^_^=

All right, thanks! So they'd be leading a random team put together.

Well not so random, but yes ^-^

:P Yes, true.

lol
