"For all the things they DON'T have classes for."

- Website tagline

In Character:
''Roughly a month after the new school year began, the following page, with accompanying subpages, appeared on the Beacon networks, accessible only from school computers or scrolls with Beacon student/faculty privileges. Despite the sudden nature of its appearance, Ozpin claims the site has his blessing, and it has grown steadily ever since. Although many speculate about the person behind the Skill Exchange, no concrete answer has been uncovered. Following is the main page of the site, with an introduction from the believed owner.''

Capno's Skill Exchange:
To my fellow Beaconites,

Hope your school year is going well, and that everyone's staying on top of their various classes. I've made this little mockery of a Web site for the sake of learning among the students (and maybe faculty), just not the kind of learning that we have classes for.

As I study and socialize with you all, I can't help but notice the vast diversity of students we have. Folks from every part of the world, and every possible upbringing. And with those backgrounds come lots of different skills. Skills that may seem like no big deal to you, but other people would kill (or at least rough somebody up) to have. Which is why I'm here.

Anyone who wants to can make a page through this system, using your real name or otherwise, showing what skills you're willing to teach or train someone in and what you want to learn, with as much explanation as you wish. You and the other party can then get in touch with each other and negotiate your prices. Skill training can be exchanged for whatever the two of you can agree on--training in other skills, Lien, Dust, fancy coffee, TV show memorabilia, ...favors of any kind--If you can agree to it, I'm not here to judge.

If you want a starting point, an example page is just below this letter. So have fun, make some friends, and I hope this site becomes a profitable use of time for us all.

-Capno.

User Profile:  "Capno":
(This isn't my real profile, just examples I pulled from other students to get the point across)

Looking to Learn: Willing to Teach: Preferred Exchanges:  Other Skills, Lien, Good Chocolate
 * Athleticism and Strength Building (because we're not all ripped like Yatsuhashi)
 * Wilderness Surival (You don't often need it, but when you need it, you need it.)
 * Blind Fighting (Because night vision is a privilege, not a right)
 * Improved Hand-to-Hand Combat (Don't be that guy who got bumped off just cause s/he got disarmed.)
 * Aura Manipulation (Our best advantage against the Grimm, so we may as well get the most out of it.)
 * Massage (I ain't judging you, don't judge me!)
 * Romantic Advice in General (should be obvious)
 * Sleight of Hand/Principles of Magic (because Remnant needs a little more wonder)
 * Advanced Mechanics of Deception (Be better at lying and sneaking around)
 * Psychology (How do people work, and how can I work them?)

Out of Character:
Hey there, it's Cardshark92. Well, most of my various RPs have all slowed down a little, so instead of making a post just to look for people for myself, I decided to create a concept that could help other people find RP partners and give their OCs a way to improve themselves at the same time. So feel free to post and find someone you can learn from/RP with!

And yes, that profile/this website are Azulius Cardoso's doing, but no one can really pin it on him just yet.
