Welcome to the RPG Battle Training Sign-ups! In this thread, you will sign up to participate in the RPG Battle Training. You are required to go through either this, RPG Romance Training, or the Exemptions before being allowed to go on to the RPG boards. Now, I know it doesn't sound fun, but it can be. We have noticed that people don't seem to know how to fight in RPG's, so this is here for people to watch, learn, and practice. You can learn by doing, and getting your feedback from your GM, and by watching the other people also in the training. You can fun while doing this, and there are plenty of people doing this only for fun. Here's how things will work:
1. You sign up here, using one of the sign up forms below.
2. You will be paired with someone else, usually someone of a similar level and opposite bending or skills, and a Staff Member/GM will be assigned to you.
3. You will then proceed to your GM's sub-board in the RPG Battle Training board. There will be three rounds: One where you are at an Advantage, One where your partner is at an Advantage, and one where neither of you are at an Advantage.
4. At the end of each round, the GM in charge of you and your partner will give each you of you a scoring: Poor, Fair, Good, or Excellent.
5. At the end of the rounds, the GM will give you an overall score based on how you have done throughout the entire fight, and that is what will determine if you go on to the RPG Boards or not.
Note: Please remember that if you have not signed up for Exemptions, you need to do that, so you can quickly move on to the RPG Boards.
Scores Explanations –
Poor - You did poorly in your training. This means that your post quality was poor. There was little to no emotion in the post, and the posts were below the required character limit of 500 characters. There might also have been moderate to heavy spelling, grammar, and godmodding problems. Now, don't be insulted if you are given this. It simply means that you either have little experience with RPG Fighting, or you're simply just not good at it, and there's no harm in that. You will be forced to re-complete the training, before you can go to the RPG's.
Fair - You did a fair job in your training. This means that your post quality wasn't poor, but it wasn't good, either. This also means that some of your posts were below or border-lining the required character limit of 500 characters, and there might also have been some moderate spelling, grammar, and little godmoding problems. You still must complete the training over before moving on to the RPG boards. Again, don't be insulted. This isn't meant as an insult.
Good - You did a good job in your training. This means that your post quality was good. There was little to no spelling, grammar, and little to no godmoding. Your posts ware also above the required character limit of 500 characters, but that perhaps that your description and emotion were not enough. You are free to move on! You can still participate in the training again, if you want, but you can go on to the RPG boards either way.
Excellent - You did an Excellent Job! Your posts were way above the required element, and there was little to no spelling and grammar errors, and no godmoding. Your description and emotion were also good. You are not allowed back in the training with that character, as that really wouldn't be fair, but you are free to go to the RPG boards! Great job!
Sign-up form:
If you've already gone through RPG Battle Training and are being sent back from the RPG boards or are going through again this after already doing it before and failing it, then add this to the end:
If you are going through this again, but have passed, leave off the above line.
Also, a note, leave off the things in parenthesis in your Sign-up forum, please. Thank you. They're just for notes, so take them out. I don't want to see anything like the following:
That is not what I have.
Also try and remember that each GM grades differently. Also, if you really feel you have to you can request a partner, but I would prefer if you didn't. Also, DO NOT request a GM, and do not sign up a character twice at once, wait until you finish the training before going through it again with the same character. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
PLEASE NOTE!~ Battle Training is only for those who have passed exemptions/training previously and wish to volunteer or practice, OR for people whose exemptions are not accepted.
Please only post a registration form if you fit one of the two categories.

Sign-up form:
Character's Name:
Character's Age:
Nation Affiliation/Loyal or Disloyal: (Also add if you're banished, exiled or whatever. If you're unsure of your character's loyalty their nation, say unsure, or leave it off.)
Bending Discipline: (If you're not a bender, just say None/Warrior, or whatever you are good at.)
Level of Training Acquired (Basics, Intermediate, Advanced): (Be accurate and realistic to your character's age. No teenage character here should be Advanced except Katara, Azula, and Toph. If you're a teenager, do not put advanced, because I won't let you keep it. Also, keep High Intermediate only for those who are 18 or 19. and I don't want to see a whole lot of those, either.)
If you've already gone through RPG Battle Training and are being sent back from the RPG boards or are going through again this after already doing it before and failing it, then add this to the end:
Previous GM(s): (If you are being sent back, then this to give you a different GM who might give you a different aspect that might help you. Same for if you are going through this again after failing it. Obviously the past GM or GM's have not helped you, so this is to give you a different GM.)
If you are going through this again, but have passed, leave off the above line.
