SKILL EQUIVALENCES.

SKILL EQUIVALENCES




If your character came into the game with previous skills from canon or another game, they may have equivalents among the in-game skills. If you'd like to use those skills as if they had the same mechanisms as game-granted skills, you may list the game skills applicable, along with a brief explanation of why or how your character has that particular skill - for example, characters with police or private investigator training could claim the Crime Scene Investigation skill, based on their previous training. If the skill was acquired in a previous game rather than canon, we may ask for a thread proof of the character gaining that skill.

Skill equivalences can be taught to other Travelers, and only apply to Jaunt skills - Liminal and Psychic equivalences are assigned at app time, as we cap those powers in-game. It is only necessary to claim a skill equivalence if your character has an interest in using or teaching it according to in-game mechanics, or if it satisfies a prerequisite for another skill. For more on skill equivalences, see here.



The skills Travelers have already learned are listed here for now; we're working on a better layout for them.

Character Name: Feliciano Vargas / North Italy
Series: Hetalia
Skill Equivalencies Requested:
Diplomacy, Etiquette, Roman Sports, Sailing, Alcohol Tolerance, Gambling, Event Planning, Roman Cultural Knowledge, Roman Religious & Superstitious Ritual. Basically everything from Naples except gladiatorial combat, because Feliciano was not a fighter back then. He only knows the culture about it, not the combat. He grew up raised by the Roman Empire during the later half of the Empire's reign.

Reasoning:
Diplomacy: He's a Nation! Diplomacy is part of his day-to-day life and job.

Etiquette: Feliciano has lived through millenias' worth of different etiquette. He's familiar with tons of different codes of it.

Roman Sports,
Roman Cultural Knowledge,
and Roman Religious & Superstitious Ritual:

Alive during the Roman Empire! Experienced all three firsthand, learning directly from the Roman Empire himself.

Sailing: He's got one of the most powerful navies around and he spent centuries being a world power with that influence- he definitely knows how to sail smaller boats, too.

Alcohol Tolerance: He handles his alcohol about as well as Germany, so that's pretty impressive!

Gambling: Oh, he's definitely got a knack for gambling, it's been huge in Italy since Roman times. (He doesn't compare at all to Monaco, though, he'll lose to her like every time.)

Event Planning: Comes with being a Nation. He's had to plan hundreds of events throughout the centuries, whether it be grand religious festivals or meticulous, discreet political meetings.
