[][Skip Grades] You're happy sticking with your peers and heading up to second grade.
[][Skip Grades] You'll skip grades (probably a lot very quickly)
I feel like Skipping Grades would be great for increasing our Skill in Mathematics, Fundamental Sciences, Mundane History, but I don't hold those to be very important in the scheme of things as a Demigod. Plus, at 0/50 and only rising 5-10 in a skill each time, it'd take a while to get anywhere and I doubt we'd be able to raise all 3 Skills at the same time (basically, we could raise some of them, but not all 3 so it'd take even longer). I'd rather stick with our grade and cruise through second grade and just focus on our non-school activities.
@Monk Penguin , could you give a comment on what happen if we choose either Skipping or Staying? I mean, on the other votes we know which skills would go up and so what would increase if we picked either option? Would we get more activities if we weren't moved up the grades and having to do more fitting schoolwork for us (which means they'll be more difficult and take more time) or will they take the same amount of effort because they having trouble placing us that well right off the bat (ie, will both options take the same amount of time like it's currently planned) or will something else happen? And how long with this turn last (ie, months, a year, more)?
The martial arts are designed to fight human opponents, their effectiveness against monsters might be dubious at best. That is even more so considering our age, small reach and current strength. Chlorokinesis is the key to survival.
Dad must teach us how to survive on our own; who knows what could happen to him. We could find ourselves alone any time.
I think we can use martial arts against monster just fine, not all and not against the beastial-monsters but humanoid monsters should be workable. I mean, first off there's so many humanoid/human-like monsters. Admittedly, there are few who are exactly like humans (they usually have monster bits too) or exactly the same size (generally they're larger). But there are plenty of human-like monsters that martial arts could be used against and even if they're larger it doesn't guarantee that they'll be so different (for example, a child fighting an adult isn't that different as a teen fighting a giant and ushc). And, even if the martial arts don't fit perfectly, it's a good way to learn how to fight, exercise physically, and if the Titan War happens we'll have another way to fight demihumans too.
And we've so many choices this turn...
Pick 3 to focus on for the next few years.
[][Training?] Join a Martial Arts Dojo of some kind.
-[][Training?] Karate
-[][Training?] Taekwondo
-[][Training?] Judo
-[][Training?] Jujutsu
-[][Training?] Krav Maga
[][Training?] Focus on your Chlorokinesis. Plant control saved your but after all
[][Training?] Read up on Greek Legends
[][Training?] Join a sports team (Athleticism is important after all)
-[][Training?] Soccer
-[][Training?] Football
-[][Training?] Write-in.
[][Training?] Meditate on the Concept of Growth. It felt important to you, and surely it's not limited to just plants.
[][Training?] Have your dad teach you how to survive on your own. Not just in the wilderness, but in cities too.
[][Training?] Your dad knows how to shoot a gun, maybe you should start taking gun safety courses so you can have one as well.
[][Training?] Write-in.
Does anyone know the difference between the Martial Arts? I mean, which would be most useful in a fight, because I don't know martial arts that well.
Chlorokinesis has been very useful, especially as we're a child and are innately disadvantaged physically. Right now, it's sort of our bread and butter.
Reading up on Greek Legends would be really useful, as we know we'll be using this in the future.
Joining a sports team sounds pretty nice. It looks like it might get us a Athleticism skill (which would be useful) and possibly raise our Social from participating and hanging out with a team (which I like).
The Concept of Growth is our special and unique ability, if I understand this right. Would be great to get better and increase our skill.
Survival is definitely something we want to learn. I mean, just look at poor Percy, he got stuck traveling across the country so many times. Plus, our Dad is a Park Ranger, would be good to hang out and learn about Survival and forestry and such.
Uh, idk how useful a gun would be. I do know any mortals around would take the gun away since we're a child and that if we used it we'd get every mortal upset and focused on us as a young child firing a gun. Especially as the Mist wouldn't conceal that we had a gun like it would if we got a celestial bronze weapon (but we don't have one of those either and in fact celestial bronze weapons usually end up looking like guns to mortals through the Mist).
Ok, possibilies! Some swordfighting groups teach how to use a sword! Same with other weapons. We could also learn archery, which isn't a bad idea with Chlorokinesis to bind/restrain monsters, so we don't have to get in melee.
For the love all that is holy don't even talk about the monstrosity that was that helicopter.
Celestial bronze is so rare that daggers and arrows are horded like gold and guarded even more jealously. Somehow the mortal finds some dispute not even g clear sighted and then promptly casts on the the single most precious nettles on earth into single use bullets.
The sheer waste is horrific.
Please in the name of sanity fo not try and make celestial guns. It was retarded then and it still is now.
This too on guns. Single use ammunition is not good for extended use. Remember all the times Percy and others went on long quests and fought so long they nearly collapsed at times? Melee weapons are much more reusable and last longer than single use ammo. Plus, I don't know if our Greek Demigod combat senses would work with guns either.
