Merry Easter, one and all. Happy Day if you celebrate it or, if not, I just hope it was a happy day anyways

You should laugh every moment you live, for you'll find it decidedly difficult afterwards.

Bio
Hey there, I assume you want to know about me so here it is...
The name is gowia (g-ow-ee-ah) or Alex. Or anything else you come up with, I'm not fussy.
I am a 25 year old male, though comfortably I'll play anything as a character.
I am a Brit born and bred and so that is my lingo, I use British words and love my slang, and if I don't seem to make sense I may simply be using English idioms that don't translate outside the rural country abodes I swan around.
I enjoy all sorts of things, I am an avid football (soccer) player and supporter, adore music, and live for a good story. I am in love with history. So you will always get a decent plot or conversation out of me on that subject.
If there is anything else you need to ask, feel free too. I swear I don't bite... much.

There'll be a map showing territory on the quick check post right?
Yep. Will do that when I have lots of free time.
IC IS NOT OPEN. JUST PREPARING FOR START.

If that was the case, there would be no wielding allowed. As a Warrior, you may not always have the necessarily items to survive. You will have to improvise, me giving students there weapons, may make the stimulation, more believable.
Makes sense to me. :)

No blindfold. And they are given nothing, this is made to rest there survival skills,and if they can handle war.
<Snipped quote by Jinxer>
Common sense, I like that better!
In regards to being given nothing, we have mention of a quarter staff, a battle scythe and my knives. I'm a non-wielding teacher there to overlook certain teachers, and so I kind of have to make it through. School can't afford to lose teachers. If everyone else is there to test survivability then surely students have nothing?
Jack was dressed differently to the students around him. Their uniform was clean, sharp and crisp. Alongside this many wore emblems of nobility and means, a site Jack was very much used to seeing. Most of the first years were young, fresh faced, and buzzing at the prospect of the run through the jungle. Jack had been at the Academy for a number of years now, if only as a researcher rather than teacher, and had heard the stories from second and third years students, still strong in their memories. Jack looked like a sore thumb in the group. His face was sullen and dull, rather than pink and excitable, his uniform was a pair of black combat boots, fitted khaki trousers, a white vest and a solid travelers jacket. Finally he also had a medium sized khaki hat, whilst he normally despised hats, it was useful here for keeping bugs and the sun off. As well as any water from the trees. On his back was the emblazoned sigil of the Academy and on the front of his jacket was a brass pin with his own family seal on, a rising sun with a spear running through it. Finally Jack had also brought three of his throwing knives, attached to his belt, but had left his sword at home. He wasn't here to kill students.
In every run one teacher was needed to make it too, since certain individuals HAD to make it through otherwise a large sum of funding would stop. Jack was not nearly that important however he also wasn't a student, and so received no such treatment. But with the war coming ever closer the current Non-Wielding Combat teacher had been recruited and Jack had been forced to take his place. Especially to the disdain of almost everyone else, as a non-wielder Jack was considered an outsider by everyone at the school, and since many students were older than he was, they used that age as another excuse to bully him mercilessly. Though Jack always got his own back in lessons, it seemed that because he didn't need to focus on wielding, he could spend a lot more time sparring and practising. Making him a better fighter than anyone else in the school, without wielding. Of course he did lack the ability to throw fireballs or bring up a stone wall to protect himself.
As the headmaster spoke after the teachers dual Jack just amused himself by kicking a small stone. He had a place at the Academy, there was so few teachers left they couldn't let him die. The headmaster was the only person Jack had met at the Academy who hadn't made Jack's life a misery and Jack respected the man, but he was long overdue retirement and the only reason it had been put off was because any of the candidates were very strong wielders and were needed for the army. It seemed the Academy would end up running it's headmaster into the ground. As the headmaster finally declared the 'event' open Jack waited around for a minute. Many of the more excitable youth had instantly leapt off into the jungle, whilst most of Jack's charges stayed where they were. It seemed either they were in fact smart, or their money ridden brains couldn't decide if getting some bruises was worth the Academy.
Finally, after some more students started to move, the group of money bags' started their way into the jungle. Jack quickly reached down and touched his toes, limbering up and stretching his muscles he begun to walk into the jungle. preparation was the key to any survival course and he had already read up, and spoken to some of the other students, on what was safe to eat, where some sources of fresh water were roughly and if there was a safest route. They had mostly said the same thing. A couple of fungi were safe, one type of berry and most of the little mammals you could catch were safe. There was a long source of fresh water running through the jungle that wasn't to hard to find and that there was no 'easy' route. Most involved hiking, climbing, battling insects and camping out somewhere unsafe. Also there was the poisonous organisms that loved to snack on people. Content with his less than basic warm up Jack meandered behind the group, they seemed terrified of this event and it would probably cost Jack something to get them all through afe. Of course if some weren't capable then h would be forced to leave them, he knew the Academy had no time for weakness.
The group started off by simply walking, single file, into the jungle. The trees were less dense here at the outskirts and it was fairly easy going. However the ground turned from solid and dusty into sticky and tacky slop. Combat boots were beginning to become weighted down and so the pace of the party, and their teacher escort, became a lot slower. The sun was beginning to dip but there was still a lot of sunlight left and the group was smart enough to keep walking. Jack overheard them mention freshwater and Jack almost chuckled. It seemed the group wasn't as dumb as it seemed, maybe they would make it after all.
