Abilities
As you know, in the Soul Eater series, very few Meisters or Weapons can actually fight without their partner. For this reason, it is going to be more difficult to obtain the solo abilities within the plot. Of course, it won't be impossible for people to gain Solo Abilities, as throughout the series there were the occasional characters who were remarkably proficient in fighting without their partner. Please note that in order to have any solo abilities, you must go through the steps described below with no exceptions. All students must go through these steps to learn an ability, and they must fit all of the prerequisite for gaining an ability as well. Also, these standards apply to both Weapons and Meisters, so don't think that if you are a weapon you will be exempt from this method.

Prerequisites
First, I am going to list of the prerequisites for obtaining ANY solo abilities. Once again, this is so that people avoid godmodding and the like.
To obtain solo abilities you must be of at least SOPHOMORE rank. You cannot train for solo abilities as a newbie, classmate, Freshman, etc. As stated somewhere else, you cannot fight proficiently without a partner until Graduate rank, however you can have your RPC learn abilities and begin to train to master them so that they can already have them fully mastered by the time they are of Graduate rank. About this: if you are Graduate rank, and you haven't trained for any solo abilities, YOU STILL HAVE TO TRAIN TO GET ANY SOLO OR SOUL ABILITIES.
As you know, if you do not have a partner, you cannot level up past Sophomore rank. However, with this system some people who have been unable to get a partner will try to get Solo Abilities so that they don't have to worry about getting a partner at all. TO GAIN ANY SOLO ABILITIES, YOU MUST ALREADY HAVE A PARTNER. This means that to obtain any Solo Abilities, you must have already found a partner and proved that you are proficient at fighting alongside a partner before you can gain any Solo Abilities.
If all of these prerequisites apply to you, then you may choose to train for Solo Abilities, as will be detailed below.

Obtaining Solo and Soul Abilities
If you qualify to obtain Solo Abilities (see above post) then you can choose to train for a Solo Ability.
First, to gain a solo ability you must have an open abilities slot. This ability is not exempt from the standard system, and after obtaining your Solo Ability it will still have to be approved by one of the moderators in the update thread. I am going to restate this in bold so that people skimming know that this is important. TRAINING FOR A SOLO ABILITY DOES NOT EXEMPT YOU FROM HAVING IT APPROVED BY THE MODERATORS.
Second, you must find one of two teachers to train with to gain any Solo Abilities. Bassoon Ninja (myself) will train any Meisters who want a Solo Ability, and Coati will train any Weapons who want a Solo Ability. YOU MUST TRAIN WITH ONE OF US, TRAINING WITH ANYONE ELSE WILL NOT COUNT. Even if another moderator, teacher, or anyone says that they can train people, they cannot and if you do train with them, you will not have your solo ability accepted.
Third, when you train with either of us you must train at least 1000 words for an original ability (in other words one that you totally made up on your own) and at least 1500 words for an ability from the series (like Soul Menace or the like). These can be divided up into multiple posts, as I expect them to be as many of you cannot type out a 1500 word post, and you can take as long as you like to train for one ability. For instance, it could be over the course of many weeks, with breaks in between, in the RP time. However, please note that ANY WORDS OBTAINED WHILE RPING FOR AN ABILITY WILL NOT COUNT TOWARDS GAINING ANY STAT POINTS. This means that if you RP for two abilities, and 2000 words, then you will have NO words go towards gaining any stat points and leveling up. Words gained through training go ONLY to gaining Solo Abilities.

Pre-existing Soul Skills
Here are pre-existing Soul Skills which require 1500 words to obtain.
Soul Skills:
- Soul Menace- The technique is a form of self resonance which is only known to be usable by Stein and Black Star. By resonating with one's own soul the user can drive their own soul wavelength directly into an opponent's body through a physical strike on them. This can cause strong direct and internal damage, it is even capable of damaging someone who is being protected by black blood. It is later discovered by Black Star and Kid that the Soul Menace technique is enhanced by water as water seemingly conducts soul wavelength energy better than air does.
- Two Palm Soul Menace - Twin Spears- This is a variation of the attack Soul Menace that instead makes use of both hands, rather than just one. The attack works using the same principle as its one handed version; that by resonating with one's own soul, the user can drive their own soul wavelength directly into an opponent's body through a physical strike on them, causing strong direct and internal damage. However, due to the inclusion of an extra hand, the attack's power is greatly amplified and able to incapacitate even strong opponents. REQUIRES LEARNT SOUL MENACE AND AT LEAST A SENIOR LEVEL.
- Planet Destruction Cannon- Planet Destruction Cannon (惑星破壊砲, Wakusei Hakaihō) is an upgraded version of Soul Menace which Black Star uses. The move is similar to his Certain Kill: Black Star Big Wave. (Description of Certain Kill: The move requires Black Star to use a fighting style similar to Soul Menace. Initially it starts with an elbow strike to stun the enemy, then a powerful punch which sends a large amount of soul energy through the opponent's body.) REQUIRES LEARNT SOUL MENACE AND AT LEAST A SERNIOR LEVEL.
- Successive Palm Soul Menace - Three Extremes "Wèi" "Wú" "Shǔ"- A variation of the Soul Menace technique, that instead rapidly hits an opponent three times in succession, using the same fist. The attack inflicts enough internal damage to cause the target to bleed from the mouth, as displayed during its only demonstration against Medusa, in the fight occuring in the midst of her operation to revive the Kishin. REQUIRES LEARNT SOUL MENACE, TWO PALM SOUL MENACE AND AT LEAST A GRADUATE RANK.
