LEADERSHIP EVALUATION
LEADERSHIP EVALUATION
Exploring the Riftlands can be a dangerous endeavor, even for Liminals, so it's always important that members of the Explorer Division keep their powers honed, their bodies fit, and their minds sharp. It's also important to ensure that those most qualified to be in charge are placed there. To that end, Samuel J. Thornton has called all the members, both primary and supplementary, together for their first Leadership Evaluation.
Thornton holds these evaluations every few months to determine who will be placed in charge when the Division divides into smaller groups to carry out different missions and investigate different areas. The evaluation has three parts: combat practice, an obstacle course, and the (much dreaded) written strategic/leadership assessment. The evaluations tend to take a few hours and moods among the Division members run the gamut. Some take it quite seriously, studying and training ahead of time and giving it their all. Some act as if it's just another requirement from Thornton and treat it like any other training session to be overcome or endured. Some only show up because they know if they don't Thornton will put them on administrative leave (ugh). Regardless, it's a big day for the Division.
During combat practice, each member will face off against a handful of robotic combatants with customized programming based on Thornton's assessment of their skills. This is held in a moderately-sized training room in the middle of the hall. During the obstacle course, each member will be given places to reach and tasks to complete throughout a maze of obstacles that run the gamut from shifting walls to collapsing floors to blasts with a numbing (and gradually paralytic) effect and beyond. The engineers in Operations and Security have really outdone themselves this year! This is held in the enormous training room at the end of the hall. During the written strategic/leadership assessment, each member will take a long, comprehensive exam designed to assess their reasoning, their empathy, their strategic prowess, and their leadership ability. This is held in a moderately-sized training room at the beginning of the hall that has been filled up with desks.
Non-Explorer residents from across the Station are also welcome to participate if they want to test their mettle, though they may find themselves being recruited by Thornton if they do exceptionally well. Otherwise, they are welcome to show up and watch the action through a series of monitors that line the basement hallway. Even the room with the written exam appears on one screen for some unknown reason. It's a bit of an event. [Non-Explorer Character A] even brings refreshments and has printed up some little flags and trinkets featuring the names of some more impressive (at least in their opinion!) contenders. Are they trying to be supportive or psych someone out or just trying to make a buck? It's hard to say.

HOW THIS WORKS
Every few months, the Explorer Division will hold Leadership Evaluations. These evaluations will use player forms and RNG to determine which characters are going to be placed in leadership positions during upcoming explorations of the Riftlands. This doesn't translate to any particular power or authority in the game day to day, but is something for players to play off of and will change throughout the course of the game.
IC all characters in the Explorer Division must complete this evaluation. Even if a player doesn't complete this form OOC, it will be assumed that their character competed unless specified elsewhere.
Thornton is notoriously strict and difficult to please, so it isn't uncommon for evaluation scores to be absolutely brutal. But don't take it personally. He's just trying to help you realize your potential!
Fill out the form below to see how your character handles the evaluation!
» DURING THE EVALUATIONS: For those lingering in the halls waiting on their results, those watching the challenges play out on the monitors, and anyone else that's hanging around.
» AFTER THE EVALUATIONS: After the evaluations have wrapped up for the day.

THE EVALUATIONS: Taby McLeod
EXPLORER DIVISION?: Yes (Primary/New)
EXPLORER LEADERSHIP?: N/A
POWER CONTROL: 10. Taby's powers dovetail nicely with the sport they've been learning since they could toddle, and their control of them is innate and intuitive. They also have a good understanding of their own limits and don't overextend. (That being said! They do have unrealized applications of these powers that they don't know about yet. But it's a 10 for what they can currently do.)
PHYSICAL ABILITY: 8. A longtime professional athlete, they're in peak condition. Being fast/agile/sneaky is a little more in their wheelhouse than being strong/a powerhouse, and they are physically very small, although their powers can compensate for their lack of raw physical strength where necessary.
MENTAL ABILITY: 4. Taby... can strategize, if pushed to do it. But they're fundamentally hotheaded and rash in their decision making, which would shine through in their physical evaluations even if they tried extra-hard to be rational in their written exam. They were also homeschooled by their idiot parents for their entire life, so their reading comprehension and writing skills are not great.
EFFORT: High. They're trying so hard! It's probably hurting their performance a little, actually! Taby's both hyper-competitive and thinks they should be in charge of everything, which is probably not actually true, but if they're being offered the opportunity to go out for a leadership position they are not going to waste it.
ANYTHING ELSE?:
