	Children mature at different rates and our rules are designed to encourage them to seek to become full citizens of the Empire. Older participants in this age range may take the [[Test of Citizenship]] which is a basic IC test designed to ensure that a young player is capable and ready to be treated as a full member of the game. Once a young live roleplayer has passed this test, then their character will be treated as an adult character and will be allowed to choose a personal resource, operate campaign resources and spend eight character points on skills as a starting character. Until this point, they will have no skills, and will therefore be able to ~~utilize~~ the [[Apprentice Ability]]		Children mature at different rates and our rules are designed to encourage them to seek to become full citizens of the Empire.

	Children of this age cannot participate in a skirmish or battle before they have passed the [[Test of Arms]]. Parents may allow their children to spar with other children using standard latex weapons, but they should not attack other characters under other circumstances. Fights on the main field are likely to be rare at Empire, but if one does start, then your child should know to leave the immediate area by the most effective route, to ensure their own safety. Young players of this age who are involved with [[The Academy]] will have the opportunity to fight while on quests organized through the Academy.
