(Beta) Explanation of Squads
Squads in BranchWood Academy are a tight knit way to say that even within this group you can have RP's that are unique to yourself. These squads will normally be 1x1x1 with the individuals within your squad. This part of BranchWood Academy comes second under the Story line. The squads of BranchWood Academy are your place to create a bond with two fellow school mates which leads to character development. Normally these individuals will have to work together on a daily basis and quite often you can end up within the same classes.
Squads tend to stick together and look out for each other in the world of BranchWood Academy. This is extremely important for things like missions and possible events that may show up in the future. A lot of the time a squad may be closer to each other then other individuals due to time spent within the dormitories. This leaves a wider variety of character interaction when people from other squads work together.
Squads will be ranked based upon the ranking of each individual character within your squad. This ranking will show you the types of missions that you and your squad will most likely be suited for. These missions will open a large possibility for your character and give them time to practice their abilities in noncontrolled environments. These circumstances can often times lead to possible encounters that will put your character and your squad at risk. Missions are used to build character and allow yourself to grow stronger instead of just taking classes here within BranchWood Academy.

Please try to join this squad unless you entirely feel compelled to create your own. Once in awhile there could be a chance that I'm to busy and forget to remove the icon.
