Training
Every Reosean, regardless of their species, size or type, starts off as a rookie. Young and untrained Reoseans have a mind of their own and can be hard to deal with for riders and companions that need them to be able to get from point A to point B without unnecessary shenanigans. It is oftentimes a life and death gamble for untrained individuals. Reoseans must learn how to survive out in the world and that's where training comes in.
Through Training, Reoseans will learn to hunt and fend for themselves. It's a testament of self control and experience, and often required as proof to enter Reosean society.

Training Stages and Rules
♦ Submissions are to be posted on DeviantART, Sta.sh or the World of Reos Lorekeeper!
♦ The art will be compared to the rest of the artist's gallery. It needs to be comparative in effort, not per se in style. Mods reserve the right to deny submissions that don't follow the listed rules and requirements. If your submission has been denied and you would like to dispute that denial, please note the group (not Reos-Empire, as we do not check those as often).
♦ Companions may be mandatory depending on which option you choose!
♦ You may only train 3 Reoseans per entry.
♦ For prompts requiring a prey item, reference the list linked in Hunting when choosing the prey.
♦ Trainings can be submitted individually as one clears through the ranks, or all at once and gain the highest rank immediately.
♦ As a CORE activity, this cannot be combined with an Quest/Hunt Activity.
♦ For prompts that require a companion, you may use either:
- A humanoid rider
- A Reosean (one of your own Reoseans, another person's Reosean, or a Starter).
- The companion may also be another Reosean entering for their Training (Example: You depict Reosean A and B on their Baby Steps stage - Reosean A may be B's companion and B may be A's companion). Remember though, only three Reoseans may be judged to obtain their training per piece.
♦ You may also give each Reosean their own companion or use just one for the group (i.e. if you have three Reoseans, only one companion is mandatory.)
You'll need three images total to complete your Reosean's training - one from each of the below categories! While these categories give you access to different Prey Types in Hunting, you are required to complete the previous rank before you can go onto the next one.

Images must be...
♦ Fullbody, colored, shaded, with a background, at least 500x500 in size.
♦ At least 75% (four bodily sections) of the Reoseans being judged for their training must be visible. Any companions not being judged for training must be at least 50% (three bodily sections) visible.
♦ If prey is required for the prompt, it must be at least 50% visible.
♦ At least 75% (four bodily sections) of the Reoseans being judged for their training must be visible. Any companions not being judged for training must be at least 50% (three bodily sections) visible.
♦ If prey is required for the prompt, it must be at least 50% visible.
|
♦ Backgrounds should have at least separate 3 elements in them aside from the ground/sky. Clustered elements of the same type (such as many rocks stacked together) count as 1 element.
-- Correct Elements: Rocks, foliage, water, mountains, clouds, trees, moons, grass that is clearly separate from the ground (i.e. brown grass sticking out of snow) etc. -- Incorrect Elements: Sun, the ground, grass that is just an extension of the ground, sky. |
|
-- For an element to count, it must have some level of detail to it - meaning it needs some form of shading, lines, etc at the minimum- flat blobs of color will not count for elements. See the example to the right!
-- Stock textures copy-pasted over the image will not count for detail. The elements themselves must have some hand drawn detail.
-- Stamp brushes are allowed, but if these are used as elements they must still follow the depth and texture rules above (ex. if you use a tree stamp brush, you will need to hand draw some detail onto it for it to count as an element).

♦ Reoseans should follow the laws of gravity; no floating reoseans just to fit extras into the image.
♦ Reosean markings need to be recognizably placed and shaped in comparison to where they are on the vayron's import (ex. randomly placed blobs for merle will not be accepted, they don't have to be perfect but they should be in a similar size and shape to those on the import).
♦ 'Stick Figures' will not be accepted, some amount of muscle or joint definition should be visible. Reoseans must also at least have their core features visible, such as Eyes, Mouth, Paws, Markings and their identifiable traits (tail and ears)

Literature must be...
♦ At least 1000 words.
♦ Reosean must be actively present in 75% of the piece.
♦ Lit entries need to have separated paragraphs instead of single continuous wall of text. It is incredibly difficult for the admins reviewing the entry to read a solid wall of text!
♦ As with art entries, lit entries can be denied in the case of low quality; no noticeable plot, using the same adjectives over and over again to make up word count, etc. Thesaurus.com is a fantastic resource if you're looking for words!

Submitting your Training Stages
|
Step One: Go to the following prompt
Step Two: Copy the Reosean's URL (from Reos-Empire) into #2 Step Three: Fill out the form below and paste it into #3 An admin will get back to you and either request edits or pass the entries! Link to Reosean's import: Link to Companion: Link to the Training Stages: Stage 1/2/3 (Mention which stage!) Prompts Used: (If not mentioned in the Deviation) Previous Correction: (If applicable) If you are using a Certificate of Withdrawal, follow the same steps as above, but select <this> prompt!
- This will reset your Reosean's Training back to unfinished. You CANNOT use this if your Reosean is bonded, because Training is a requisite to bonding. You will need to break the bond first before applying this certificate. - You CAN use this however if you are IMMEDIATELY replacing the artwork with new images. These images must still meet the requirements of a regular submission. Example of cases of when you can use this: - When the images break/get deleted - When the Reosean has received a do-over and you would like to update the Core images - When you'd just prefer different art. |
Things to keep in mind:
- One Reosean per a comment - You can submit all three training ranks separately, or at once. But if you submit them separately, you must have completed the previous one before you can progress through the ranks. - Please mention the prompts you have used either in the description of the training or in your comment. |
