Decepticon Rookie Exam

Summary
A recent influx of new ranks, rusty ranks, and ranks who have otherwise not been in the spotlight prompts Scorponok to assign some of the 'newer' Decepticons mentors, with the intent of preparing the 'newer' Decepticons for examinations that can lead to either glory or humiliation.

 * Bad Math - Unfortunately for Ruse, Catechism has a weird idea of what constitutes mentoring.

After getting some overall approval on the public channel and from Catechism and Galvatron, I'll bring it out in the open. With the recent surge of OC Cons being approved, it led me to a question: 'How does Galvatron or Cyclonus keep tabs on all these new upstarts?' Drawing inspiration from the Naruto anime, I propose the Decepticon Rookie Exam. In the show/manga, they have an exam for the lowest ranking ninjas to advance to the next rank, but also it serves as a forum for the higher ups to judge the newcomers on their combat prowess and skills. So I thought, why wouldn't the Decepticons have something like that? A sort of evil boot camp combined with fiendish exams!

Phase 1: All participants would be assigned a mentor, a 2-3 ranking character who is already established in the Decepticon army. I'd only ask for at least one RP of the mentor meeting up with the participant and discussing strategy, tips, hints, etc. They can elaborate on the process with more RPs if they want, it's completely up to them.

Each Mentor reports to Galvatron on the abilities of the participant. It's sort of a mini-Spotlight for each character that all fits together.

Phase 3: The tournament. Brackets are drawn up, the participants face each other in combat for the pleasure of Galvatron and all those present. This is more or less a fun way to end the TP with some inner-faction fighting.

Phase 4: Galvatron's findings (optional). Upon completion of the tournament, a champion is named and Galv gives his report on how he saw things. Participants are either given medals or promotions for their accolades, demotions and galcannons for their shortcomings!

If you've got some Decepticon OC apps in the works, get them in. I'm asking for participants or mentors to @mail me so I can start drawing up the lists. Any questions or comments, don't be afraid to ask! Thanks.
