A Skill is pertaining to, constituting, or indicating the character or peculiar quality of a person or thing being typical or distinctive. These range from distinguished features to contributing attributes. Within the realm of the Marvel Universe the skill is a way to show unique qualities even within those in same class. It is the ability, coming from one's knowledge, practice, aptitude, etc., to do something well. Though not as potent or as flashy as powers skills are passive and require no energy from the user. Someone with a wide array of skills can be deadly in combat.
The abilities of these skills can range from mundane qualities to unique enhancements that takes years to perfect. Seeing as these abilities are generally passive and can greatly enhance the in-game play of a character there has been a need to distinguish and monitor these drastic enhancements. Thus the system created will determine the rank of your skill and how they may be applied to your character upon creation or advancement.
Keep in mind that skills are treated as all other ranked abilities in regards to character development and should be listed only if applicable to your characters current rank and status unless otherwise stated. It is understood that different mod/admin have varied styles and opinions when grading applications thus the skills phase shall give a general yet detailed outlook that will leave little to the imagination so that all are judged fairly. The structure for skills is as follows:

Instead, once you have a C ranked skill, you need to train for a B ranked one. Then once having B ranked you train for an A ranked one. Building the tier up from the bottom up.
-You may not stack multiple attribute boosting skills with the same ability, and cost reductions for powers and abilities are banned.
-Any enhancement skill aimed at advancing a characters tech knowledge such as "Engineering genius" or something of the sort has to be at the class's Capped Rank(I.e. If the class can only have up to B-level tech then the skill must be at B-level).
