Participating in events or RPing one-on-one in this subforum yields XP, which is used to level up heroes! Individual events might pay out special XP, but there are the basics:
Solo RP: at 400 words, this is worth 5 XP. At 800+ words, this is worth 10xp.
PRP with another player: at 800 words, this is worth 10 XP.
Spar/Battle with another player: finishing the battle is worth 10 XP, 800 words is worth 10 XP, both together is worth 20 XP.
Special Threads: These will have their own rules listed at either the start or the end of the thread.
For levels 1-10, every 100 XP you achieve is equal to one level.
Certain levels also give additional rewards, revealed at a later time!

This stage comes with HP of 50, and base weapon damage of 6 for balanced, 4 for agile, and 10 for heavy.

Note that you are required to track all XP yourself -- and you are welcome to do this in any way that works best for you. Many people track in their journals; you might also wish to use an aggregate site like Diigo.
