SECTION ONE:
RACE INFORMATION

★ [THE BASICS]

Substitute Shinigami ordinarily are people whom are not of the Shinigami race, but act in an official capacity as a Shinigami. This can be either as a Human or Fullbringer who possesses Shinigami powers or by awarding a Human or Fullbringer with the powers of a Shinigami to honour and make official their service and alliance to the Gotei 13. These Shinigami Powers can be attained through either legal or illegal means, separating them into two classes.

Substitute Shinigami can be two types: Canon or In-Character.
In-Character Sub-Shinigami can be two classes: legal or illegal.

The minimum rank Sub-Shini can be is [SL-A/LL]
Their starting rank (for Canons) is [ML-A/HL]
The maximum rank they can achieve is [AL/AL-A]

★ [SUB-SHINIGAMI DIFFERENT RACES]

★ [HUMAN]

As a Human Substitute Shinigami in your Human Form you have access to Human Powers and Soul Synchro

Canon Substitute Shinigami are only ever this type.

More details on Humans themselves here.

★ [FULLBRINGER]

As a Fullbringer Substitute Shinigami in your Fullbringer Form, you have Soul Communication and your Fullbring.

Canon Substitute Shinigami can never be Fullbringers.

More details on Fullbringers themselves here.

★ [SHINIGAMI]

Either as a Human or a Fullbringer you both have access to a Shinigami form, where you can have most of the perks (unless stated in this guide) of being one, such as learning Kidou and getting Shikai and Bankai.

More details on Shinigami themselves here.

★ [VIZARD]

Only In Character illegal Sub-Shinigami can ever become Vizard, but here you get access to abilities such as Cero from your mask, and must go through a trial in order to attain it.

More details on Vizard themselves here.

★ [LEGALITY]

★ [LEGAL CLASS]

In Character Sub-Shinigami can become legal after getting their powers through illegal means through interaction and plot. Or they can be humans that were awarded Shinigami powers after being recognised as an ally and defender of the Gotei 13 through its science and the official measures granted by the Captains.

Regardless of how its achieved, when done this way the Human is granted their own identity and is free to go in and out of the Soul Society as they please with the Seal of Approval (a.k.a Representative Badge), and won't be hunted. They are an agent of the Gotei and will even be assigned technology such as a Soul Pager to enable them to hunt Hollow.

The Substitute Shinigami representative badge has also been altered to allow their owner to open a Senkaimon gate for them to travel through to Soul Society in Shinigami form only.

Canon Substitute Shinigami are this class by default. If they become illegal, their position and powers are stripped.

★ [ILLEGAL CLASS]

These are the outlaws, they are given their powers by rogues or by Shinigami out of necessity or love, or defected from being legal. Even accidents where a stab aimed to kill awards the powers. If done in this matter you become a Substitute Shinigami but you don't have the seal and you and your Shinigami "mother" become hunted fugitives. For ease of roleplaying, you automatically have access to a Gikongan (Soul Candy) pill to allow transferring between Human/Fullbringer and Shinigami Forms.

Only In Character Substitute Shinigami can be this class, but they can be legal as well depending on the method of attaining their powers.

Compared to being Legal, Illegals cannot learn Kidou, but can become Vizard.

★ [CANON SUB-SHINIGAMI]

[CRISIS CORE RESERVATION LIST]

★ [BACKGROUND DESCRIPTION]

At the discretion of Jūnibantai's Kurotsuchi Mayuri, a grand scale of humans were extracted from Human World and were transported and confined to the captain's laboratory located in the Department of Research and Development. Each of these souls are given a choice as to whether they want to become something greater than what they were and if they accept, they're given a number and sealed away in a stasis pod under a comatose state. However, not all who accepted would survive the initial experiments and only a select few would survive the Shinigamification and emerge from their pods, awakened to their hidden potential.

Thirteen in all, the group was assigned a series of battle simulations , varied and challenging. Based on their performance, they were given a new number in representation of a squad that suited them the best. With these events set in motion, they were given new identities and were returned to the Human World. There, they were given an establishment to reside in as they serve as agents of the Soul Society.

★ [RULES OF HAVING]

You can only have one Canon Substitute-Shinigami.
They are subject to the same rules and regulations as Bleach Canon Characters present in the Canon Guidelines but they're all considered minor characters.
You must have a history detailing how they were recruited.
Canon Substitute-Shinigami will be subject to activity checks to open up spots if people become inactive with their characters. If you fail an activity check your character's Shinigami powers will be stripped from them and they will be reverted back to starting rank.
You will have one week after reserving a spot to finish a profile. Extensions can be given similar to canon reserves by posting in the list.
You may only reserve a position if it's declared OPEN in the list. You may not pre-reserve a position.

You may use an existing character instead of making a new character but this has the following rules in addition to those above:

Character must be no more than ML-A in rank. There is no minimum rank requirement.
Pre-existing characters will have their existing techs subtracted from the techniques given at creation, not including the bonus techs or items given to each individual squad.
Masteries must be reverted to those of a standard human before mastery perks for sub-shini are added. Ex. If your Step Technique has been unlocked, it will be locked again.
Characters without history will have to make one, and all histories must be changed to reflect being recruited.

★ [CANON SUB-SHINI CONS]

You cannot use a gigai, only your human body.
These are only Human Sub-Shinigami, and cannot be created as Fullbringers or Quincy.

Sub-Shinigami are still Shinigami under The Gotei 13 and so must obey their laws as well.
Additionally, all of these Sub-Shinigami are genetically altered by Mayuri to filter any attempted Hollowfication to ensure there’s no defection. Thus, you cannot became a Vizard. 
You cannot share your power with other humans.

★ [IN CHARACTER SUB-SHINIGAMI]

In-Character Sub-Shinigami are those outside of the Canon Crisis Core group. They can be either a Human or Fullbringer, as well as either legal or illegal. As with Canons, In Character Substitute Shinigami race cannot share their power with other humans.

★ [HUMAN SUB-SHINI]

For all extents and purposes these are identical to Canon Sub-Shinigami with a few changes.

They can become Vizard and their Kidou is limited to Tier VI.

★ [FULLBRINGER SUB-SHINI]

This essentially a removal of all Human perks and replacing them with Fullbringer's:

They get access to Soul Communication, Fullbring and Bringer Light but they can't use Kidou in Human Form. They can also become Vizard, and don't get Soul Synchro.

★ [VIZARD SUB-SHINI]

Only In-Character Sub-Shinigami can become Vizard, with a few other rules:

Mask Control cannot be Specialised
Hollow techniques are capped to Tier VI maximum, but can otherwise still master them. No Hollow technique can involve the body, regeneration, or mirror Arrancar-based abilities.
No Vizard Resurreccion.
You instantly become an illegal sub-shini, even if you were legal beforehand.
Becoming a Vizard is available to both Human and Fullbringer In-Character Sub-Shini

★ [BECOMING A SUB-SHINI]

★ [LEGAL METHOD]

For a person to be eligible for Shinigamification, a human must meet the following requirements before they are taken to the Soul Society for the official process of Shinigamification as well as the awarding of the approval badge:

The Human must be at least ML-A.
They must have ICly roleplayed in event threads or plots where they have aided the Soul Society and its agents multiple times and gained the recognition of at least three Captains, and can convince in talks three more if brought to the Soul Society for questioning. This will give the Human the majority.
If you feel you have gained these with your Human you may put in an improvement requesting the plot meeting with the Captain whom you pleased and (optionally) the other Shinigami you've helped so that you can be brought to the Soul Society.
The new Substitute Shinigami is officially recognized as an agent of the Gotei, given the Substitute Shinigami Badge and thus holds standing to other Shinigami and is usually respected.

★ [ILLEGAL METHOD]

For a person to be eligible for Shinigamification, a human must find himself a willing participant of the Shinigami status willing and ready to share their power. a simple stab to the heart is all it takes and will invoke Shinigamification. However there are a few requirements and drawbacks of this process:

First, a Shinigami must be at least ML-A to be able to share their power. There isn't a minimum rank for the Human to be, but they will become SL-A/LL minimum upon Shinigamification. Change to suit your original rank.
Secondly, once the Shinigami relinquishes his power to the human, he/she will permanently lose two ranks and must retrain themselves to get back the ranks they lost. They can be NPCd by staff instead of a PC, but either method requires grading in the improvement area before the Human becomes a Sub-Shinigami.
In addition, if the same Shinigami decides to be generous again and stab another human, the amount of ranks they lose will increase by 1, leaving them 3 ranks lower than they were before. Next time it will be 4 ranks, and so on.
The new Substitute Shinigami along with the Shinigami who gave away his power will be hunted down by the Soul Society.

SECTION TWO:
MASTERY WALKTHROUGH

The Mastery System is explained here

★ [OVERVIEW]

[HOVER OVER IMAGES FOR MORE INFO!]

★ [HUMAN SUB-SHINI MASTERIES]

HUMAN FORM

HUMAN POWERS, SPIRITUAL POTENCY, SOUL SYNCHRO

SHINIGAMI FORM

ZANPAKUTOU SPIRIT, SOUL RESILIENCE, KIDOU

BOTH
FORMS

STEPPING, REIRYOKU TECHNIQUES, HAND-TO-HAND
WEAPON SKILL, REIATSU CONTROL

[attr="class","getsuga"]

[attr="class","kaitext"]

NOTES

Spiritual Potency becomes Soul Resilience when going into Shinigami form; the mastery level doesn't change.

When your Shinigami form becomes ML, you’ll automatically attain Shunpo in that form at that point. However it is unavailable in Human form and you must have your Human Form be ML too before you unlock it normally. When this happens your mastery level in Shinigami form carries over to your Human form so you do not have to start at Beginner. Whether your primary stepping technique is Shunpo or the Human's original Step technique is your choice.

★ [FULLBRINGER SUB-SHINI MASTERIES]

FULLBRING FORM

FULLBRING, SPIRITUAL POTENCY

SHINIGAMI FORM

ZANPAKUTOU SPIRIT, SOUL RESILIENCE, KIDOU

BOTH
FORMS

STEPPING, REIRYOKU TECHNIQUES, HAND-TO-HAND
WEAPON SKILL, REIATSU CONTROL, SOUL COMMUNICATION

[attr="class","tenshou"]

[attr="class","bantext"]

NOTES

Spiritual Potency becomes Soul Resilience when going into Shinigami form; the mastery level doesn't change.

When your Shinigami form becomes ML, you’ll automatically attain Shunpo in that form at that point. However it is unavailable in Human form and you must have Above Average Fullbring mastery and unlock Bringer Light at ML-A as usual. Once you gain Bringer Light, this replaces Shunpo as your primary Stepping technique, and your mastery level in Shinigami form carries over to your Human form so you do not have to start at Beginner.

When you become a Fullbringer Sub-Shini, Reiryoku Techniques are automatically unlocked if they aren't already

[newclass=.bantext]width:450px;height:100px;opacity:0;-o-transition: 0.5s all ease-in-out; -moz-transition: 0.7s all ease-in-out; -khtml-transition: 0.5s all ease-in-out; -webkit-transition: 0.5s all ease-in-out;margin-left:-10px;[/newclass][newclass=.bantext:hover]width:450px;height:100px;background-color:#D3D3D3;-o-transition: 0.5s all ease-in-out; -moz-transition: 0.5s all ease-in-out; -khtml-transition: 0.5s all ease-in-out; -webkit-transition: 0.5s all ease-in-out; opacity:1.0;[/newclass][newclass=.tenshou]width: 450px; height: 100px; background-image:url(http://i.imgur.com/cy3e2zW.png);border-top:3px solid #f3f3f3;-o-transition: 0.5s all ease-in-out; -moz-transition: 0.7s all ease-in-out; -khtml-transition: 0.5s all ease-in-out; -webkit-transition: 0.5s all ease-in-out; [/newclass][newclass=.tenshou:hover]width: 450px; height: 10px;border-top:3px solid #f3f3f3;-o-transition: 0.5s all ease-in-out; -moz-transition: 0.7s all ease-in-out; -khtml-transition: 0.5s all ease-in-out; -webkit-transition: 0.5s all ease-in-out; [/newclass]

★ [FORM LIMITATION]

As seen above, there are masteries only available in their given forms, notably Release and Racial Perk Masteries. If you want to see the details of each mastery, please refer to the respective guide for the Human, Fullbringer, Shinigami and Vizard masteries.

Custom Masteries may be used at your own discretion.

For constant release Sub-Shinigami, ordinarily there is cap on your Reiatsu Control mastery to Average, but this only applies in Shinigami Form. Reiatsu Control is not capped in Human Form, but you cannot Specialise in it, Human Form or no.

★ [MASTERY IMPROVEMENT]

Unless otherwise noted in this guide, Sub-Shinigami are not limited by how much they may improve a mastery. Optional masteries still don't count for rank-ups in improvements as well.

You can only train for high level masteries if at least your Shinigami form is at the required rank, and you do the training in Shinigami form. For example if you want to Master Stepping and your Shinigami form is HL, you will be able to Master the Mastery if you train it in Shinigami form. Because your Human Form is still only ML-A, you won't be able to reach Mastered in that form, and your Mastery level remains at Advanced. However when your Human form reaches HL, it will automatically attain Mastered Stepping.

So generally, Mastery Levels are shared automatically between forms; you don't have to train twice for each form.

For masteries which aren't shared between forms such as Human Powers, you will only be able to train that in Human form.

This all applies to both Fullbringer and Human Sub-Shinigami.

★ [KIDOU THE DEMON ARTS]

★ [LEGAL KIDOU NOTES]

Kidou can be learnt normally by In Character Legals and can still be Mastered, but it's capped to Tier VI. Canon Sub-Shinigami have no such limit and can learn up to Tier VII and Master the Mastery.

★ [ILLEGAL KIDOU NOTES]

Illegal sub-shini can’t learn Kidou at all. If you go illegal in character, you retain any skill in Kidou you possess, including Shunko.

★ [OTHER KIDOU NOTES]

When using Kidou in your Human Form however, only Human Sub-Shinigami are allowed to use Kidou in that state. This is reliant on your Soul Synchro mastery (see below) provided of course you know the spell beforehand.

Fullbringer Sub-Shinigami on the other hand cannot use Kidou in their Human Form at all.

To look at other details of Kidou such as Shunko, Specialisations and other rulings, please refer to the [Shinigami Guide] for details.

★ [SOUL SYNCHRO]

[RACIAL PERK MASTERY]

Not to be confused with Soul Resonance for normal Humans, this works a little differently, and is unavailable for Fullbringer Sub-Shinigami. With its primary focus on both Human and Shinigami souls, this specific version of Soul Synchro is aimed to combine the two into one single body.

Fusing the spiritual strengths of the spirit body with the tangible nature of a human one, this temporarily give the Human body the rank of its Shinigami body. (For example, a [ML/ML-A] Human Substitute Shinigami in Human Form in Soul Synchro state will have a rank of [ML-A]).

[/b][li]Human Form gets the rank of their Shinigami Form.[/li][li]Gets access to Kidou and Zanpakutou Spirit.[/li][li]Soul Resilience replaces Spiritual Potency.[/li]

Cons:[li]Human Powers no longer have the power of a release and become normal techniques. If you have release-only concepts such as Illusions or Poison, you must make an alternate weaker version for use in the state. These alternate versions won't take up a tech slot, and should be noted in a spoiler tag below the original technique.[/li][li]You cannot activate Shunko if you have it.[/li][li]When durations of the Soul Synchro state run out, any releases or Shinigami form exclusive passives or effects are immediately deactivated.[/li][/ul][/blockquote]

[SOUL SYNCHRO MASTERY]

[Beginner] Canon Substitute Shinigami's capabilities with Kidou and Reiryoku Techniques are limited to the use of Tier II and require full incantation, and IC legal Sub-Shinigami can't use it at all. The state has a four post duration and three post cooldown.

[Below Average] IC legals can now use Tier II, both with the same limits on Kidou incantations. The state has a five post duration and three post cooldown.

[Average] Canons can now use Reiryoku techniques and Kidou to Tier III, whereas IC legals are limited to Tier II. Incantations are still required. The state has a six post duration and three post cooldown.

[Above Average] Canons can now use Reiryoku techniques and Kidou to Tier IV, whereas IC legals are limited to Tier III. Incantations are still required. The state has a seven post duration and two post cooldown.

[Advanced] Skipping a whole tier, canons can now use Reiryoku techniques and Kidou to Tier VI, whereas IC legals are limited to Tier V. Incantations are still required. The state has a eight post duration and two post cooldown.

[Mastered] Canons can now use Reiryoku techniques and Kidou to Tier VII, whereas IC legals are limited to Tier VI. If your Kidou Mastery allows it, both types of Sub-Shini can now skip the incantations. The state has a ten post duration and one post cooldown.

[Specialised] The true master of spiritualising your soul, you quite simply now have the ability to be in Soul Synchro state indefinitely, but you're still able to switch forms as you please. This form switch however, has a one post cooldown. Enjoy!

SUBSTITUTE SHINIGAMI GUIDE Jun 30, 2015 19:40:05 GMT

Post by Society on Jun 30, 2015 19:40:05 GMT

SECTION THREE:
PROFILE TEMPLATE GUIDE

Universal Profile guide is here

Substitute Shinigami Template is here

USE THIS SECTION TO CREATE A STARTING PROFILE!

★ [FIRST POST INFO]

This refers to the stuff underneath the avatars in the profile template, like gender and orientation. Don't forget to fill it out!

★ [AGES]

Age of Appearance: Exactly what this sounds like, this is how old you look. All Sub-Shinigami start out as Human or Fullbringer, so give your normal age.

Real Age: This will be your Age of Appearance + the amount of time you've been a Shinigami. You can age normally if you wish though.

Generally we’re unfussy with ages, but it must be realistic unless there are special circumstances. We won't allow a 600 year old shinigami who looks like a little kid, for example. Reflect the age of your character in their appearance.

★ [APPEARANCE]

This is the appearance of your character. Don't embed images directly, but feel free to provide links, or give a description or both! Including things such as height and weight are nice, but optional.

★ [PERSONALITY]

Three ways to tackle this. Either you just write about 200 words explaining your character's personality, or simply list five traits in each of the following sections: likes, dislikes, positives, and negatives (you can have more than five, but five is the minimum), or you can simply do both methods!

★ [HISTORY]

For Canon Sub-Shinigami, having a History is required. But if you make it at least 500 words you’re allowed 100 plot points for your character upon approval. Head to the [Plot Point System] for details on how plot points work. Here are some guidelines on getting a good history:

You may not be one of the four noble families, and lesser families must be cleared by staff first.
You may not have any direct relation or interactions with Bleach Canon characters (excepting Mayuri for Canons), nor can your history contradict Canonical events. Otherwise you may only have it if it is agreed to by staff and the canon holder, or of course you're making a canon character.
You may not escape a jail/prison in the Soul Society in your history.
You may not be a prodigy and graduate in less than five years of the Academy. Special instances can be approved by staff like skipping the Academy but must have a G-mod or Admin approval.
Shinigami or any race at creation must not be able to fight and survive against a Vasto Lorde.
When it comes to past lives (such as Vizard before becoming Hollow, or Human before becoming a Plus and then Shinigami), you can be what you like, but they can't affect your current life in anyway physically. This includes muscle memory and having the ability to learn techniques of a different race just because you had a past life as one. As such, if you are including past lives of other races, follow the History guidelines for those other races in their respective guides as well
You cannot be a figure in History in your Human life (such as Adolf Hitler, Theodore Roosevelt, etc.). Along these lines, you also cannot know these characters, nor make any reference to them in your histories.
You must at some point in your history detail your recruitment as outlined in the [Background Description] section.

★ [OTHER]

The remaining information is your chosen difficulty level (outlined in [The Rules]), your chosen Face Claim and your OOC name.

The Face Claim MUST be: SERIES NAME IN CAPS - fc name lowercase - @username

So if my face claim was Ulquiorra from Bleach, it would be: BLEACH - ulquiorra cifer - Society . (@username brings up your display name for that account, so sorry for the white of the staff name) Before picking a face claim, check the [Face Claims List] to make sure that the character isn't taken.

★ [SQUAD REQUIREMENTS]

-- If you have reserved the position of Squad Four's representative, then your Zanpakutou must have some type of healing ability (it does not have to heal exclusively). You're also entitled to the Healing mastery.

--If you have reserved the position of Squad Eleven's representative, know that non-melee Zanpakutou are disallowed. You may keep your sword under wraps, as well as any Kidou ability, but should you be discovered by one of your peers and reported, the squad will probably discharge you.

-- If you have reserved the position of Squad Twelve's representative, you are entitled to the Spiritual Creation mastery.

★ [DIVISION PERKS]

Kidou - Maximum of Three, capped at Tier IV. Other Technique slots can be converted into Kidou and vice versa. None of them can be original (not even extra squad perk techs), and can only be chosen from the [Kidou List]
Battle skills - Four Techniques total capped at Tier IV for Reiryoku techniques, Hand to hand, Weapon skills and Reiatsu control. Hand-to-Hand techniques can't be original (not even extra squad perk techs), and can only be chosen from the [Hand-to-Hand List]. Reiatsu Control can have one Reiatsu Passive but only if you have Reiatsu Control Mastered. For the Items subheading, this is for any aesthetic items your character carries around that isn't part of their usual appearance. For example, a Shinigami is always carrying around their Zanpakutou unless otherwise stated. This is for things like a camera, a hat, a cane, a teddy bear or an art kit. Strictly no combat-based items such as knives or guns. At the bottom, the Reiatsu Features is where you may put any aesthetic qualities of your reiatsu (spiritual pressure). Colours, smells, what it looks like etc.
Stepping - One free Stepping technique in order for your Human Form to Step. Your Shinigami Form automatically has access to Shunpo and one free step variant in your Shinigami form based on your Human Step. The variant requires Advanced Stepping and can only be extremely basic such as coating it with an element or making a damage-less clone, or being purely aesthetic.
Body Modifications - Maximum of two. Just register them like normal technqiues with the type as 'Body Modifications'. Capped at Tier II if using your Spiritual Energy (Reiryoku) like a battery. If it doesn't, treat it like a costless weapon. These can be swapped for other techniques, but technique slots cannot be swapped for additional body mods.

When swapping techniques, please note it in a secondary post in your profile so that we can keep track of what you would like to start with.

★ [ZANPAKUTOU INFO]

or Canon Sub-Shinigami, you may only start out with a full set of information and abilities as your Shikai can only be Mastered.

Name: This is typically Japanese in name, and we don’t care for grammar or accuracy, but there’re tips on making a name [here]. Make sure to provide an English translation and show that it's reflective of the theme and abilities of the spirit.
Type: Fire, melee, marzipan? Remember no conflicting types, and this encompasses the entire theme of your abilities.
Release Command: Whether a short poem or a single verb, pick your incantation. Unlike the Zanpakutou name this doesn’t have to be in Japanese but it can be (just translate it).
Sealed Form: It must be a sword of some description of simple design (remember it can be whatever weapon you like in Shikai). Whilst typically a katana, you can have custom colours and hilt/guard designs if you wish. Don't embed images directly, but feel free to provide links, or give a description or both!
Spirit Appearance: Same deal with your normal character appearance really, so refer to that! Note though that the repeated use of the same image for spirits isn't reprimanded, meaning if one person is already using the image it doesn't stop another member from utilizing the very same without any sort of repercussions. Anything that is COMMISSIONED ART should be run through the original artist, if known, to avoid any issues. Don't embed images directly, but feel free to provide links, or give a description or both!
Spirit Personality: Give at least one hundred words or positive and negative traits on how they interact with the Shinigami or do both. But try to make their personality compliment their wielder’s.
Inner world: Your sub-consciousness, this is both reflective of your character’s inner workings, but also your Zanpakutou spirit’s. Link pictures, do a description or both, it can be whatever realm you wish it to be.
Shikai Appearance: Your sealed Zanpakutou can now be whatever kind of weapon you desire, but it cannot be something which won’t fit a Shikai. You cannot alter your body (those are Hollow-type abilities), and any change in form must focus around the blade itself, so the blade must be present. Don't embed images directly, but feel free to provide links, or give a description or both!

★ [SHIKAI ABILITIES]

You may have a maximum of four Shikai abilities. You may have a Completed Shikai with less than four techniques but know that once any Shikai is completed, it cannot be substantially altered after approval barring special circumstances. Such circumstances include that of obtaining a new sword after losing your own, and dominating its will to help you. Otherwise after [ML-A], the Shikai you got is the one you're stuck with.

-- The maximum cost/power any Shikai ability may have at creation is Tier IV.

You may have another benefit such as Constant Release Shikai or Dual Zanpakutou if you haven't got one already, but look to the [Shinigami Guide] for details.

Refer to the [Technique Guide] for general technique limitations and information.

★ [MASTERIES]

Maximum of three Advanced Masteries and one Mastered Mastery.
Zanpakutou Spirit must be Average.
No Mastery can be Specialized starting out.
Kidou is maximum Above Average - Tier IV max. This is unless your Squad Perks detail otherwise.
Every other Mastery must follow normal starting rules - if you choose to have an Above Average, you must have a Below Average to balance. If you have a Beginner, you may have two Above Averages.
