Regardless of the character growth requires proof as to how and why they are growing! Thus we require that every upgrade be submitted alongside proof of character progression in the form of threads where your character is actively using their quirk, skills, and/or support gear! While the proof can vary from sitting in the support tech lab with a support gear expert and finding out how to upgrade your gear, to using your quirk to the point of its limit, one thing stays true and that's active use equals active growth! For a quirk to grow it needs to be performed to its limit, and or practiced to the point of enhancement. This growth can happen over time, or maybe a extraordinary event pushes your character beyond their limits. The same could be said for skills, practice makes perfect after all!

While we generally go by this system of proof for most characters, we know that some others will want to plan when they grow ahead of time and we ask then that those who would like a unique upgrade path for their quirk, skill, or support gear include this list of growth moments within their locker room and go for its approval within the locker room! This will serve as guidelines for the staff who review your progression threads to see that you are achieving your personal goals, but obviously doesn't guarantee you growth if staff finds your personal growth points have yet to be hit or if they feel that they don't match the requirements meant to grow to the next level.

Upgrades will be handled on a case by case basis and the threads will be looked over to see if you meet the needs meant to reach the next level! As there is no set in stone list, feel free to apply whenever you personally feel that your character meets the requirements for advancing to the next level as long as they have the necessary EXP to do so! For any questions about this system feel free to contact staff through the appropriate means.
