Hello there!

Well, to start, sorry that I have quite several skills being requested for here. Going through the backlog to distribute the available xp and whatnot, I've gradually updated Rickter's CS as it hasn't been done since Spring/Summer last year. With that said, these are the skills I'm asking to elevate in competency with the examples provided for them.

Acrobatics

Acrobatics
Level: Expert
Goal: Expert

Used mostly for combat purposes, the development of acrobatics has given Rickter a refined sense of control with midair combat and stunts. There are various examples to link here to exemplify this growth, and as labeled, it is a skill that was meant to be capped at Expert level.


Duty
Ishin of the Arbiters
Intensive Training I: Physical Assessment
Intensive Training I: Evaluation Results
Intensive Training III: Dip, Dive, Duck, and Dodge
A Pack With Pride

Bodybuilding

Bodybuilding
Level: Expert
Goal: Expert

Rickter's bodybuilding skill has been refined since joining Talon as a personal bodyguard. Developed mainly through combat/training experiences, with the use of heavy weaponry (Bastard sword) this has allowed him to cultivate his physique for hardened combat. There are various examples to link here to exemplify this growth, and as labeled, it is a skill that was meant to be capped at Expert level.


Combat Venting
Gathering Materials I
Duty
Intensive Training I: Physical Assessment
Intensive Training I: Evaluation Results
Intensive Training III: Dip, Dive, Duck, and Dodge
A Pack With Pride

Caregiving

Caregiving
Level: Expert
Goal: Master

As one who usually puts the needs of others before his own, Rickter's development of Caregiving continues to grow with his immediate family as a proxy. Always looking out for the well-being of his packmates, he is dynamically an alpha wolf who wants to see his close ones protected and happy.

Etiquette

Etiquette
Level: Expert
Goal: Master

Rickter's prowess in Etiquette stems from his mindfulness towards others, and has branched outward to social occasions that require mannerisms befitting his company. The application of this continued mindset is what will allow him to discover new opportunities, and even potentially explore avenues in politics with a combined mastery over restraint as well as mannerisms.

Intimidation

Intimidation
Level: Expert
Goal: Master

While Rickter has proven a bit of a softy to those he loves and feels comfortable around, that hasn't hidden the fact that he can be super protective. His temper has gotten the better of him now and then, and a times he's used it as a means of protection when that anger doesn't control him.

Meditation

Meditation
Level: Expert
Goal: Master

Rather a crucial skill that's become a core part of Rickter's skillset, his prowess with Meditation has allowed him to introspect himself through Negation, and after the fact he's relied on it as a means of refining his awareness over the arcane. Mastery of this skill shall see him further build upon it with further introspection and even philosophical situations.

Seduction

Seduction
Level: Expert
Goal: Expert

As a character who has spent over a decade side hustling himself at the Velvet Cabaret, Rickter's skills in the art of Seduction seemed best suited to be capped at the expertise level. He's been within the business long enough to know how to apply the skill selectively, and only does it when circumstances seem fitting to rely on the skill overall.

Scrivening

Scrivening
Level: Master (Expert -> Master)
Goal: Master

Rickter picked up Scrivening as a support style magic for his travels, gradually learning to refine the craft for himself throughout his career in the arcane arts. His application of it has allowed him to actually perform pretty incredible feats, from aiding Lyra during the desolation of Zaichaer, to performing stunts that have allowed him to reach places such as Terra Nimbus. The significance of mastery behind this skill heavily stems from his time spent creating an artificial "cold storage room" at the Red Rock Citadel in Solunarium, as a great deal of time and work went into refining and maintaining the sigils created. The result of the sigils in this cold room produce Frostlyth shards overtime, and given that Rickter/Lykos is the Lord of Frost himself; the cold room hosts some of that Divine energy to continually produce these dragonshards every winter.

*The threads listed below are intended to qualify his Scrivening skill for Expert level, as well as the buildup into Master level also. If the completion of the Cold Room plot is necessary, then this request or another can be admitted afterward to justify the mastery of Scrivening once the conditions have been met.

Preparations for the Gobbler
The Plot to Raid Terra Nimbus I
The Plot to Raid Terra Nimbus II
Defying Gravity
A Chance of Cold
An Innocuous Conversation
The Lykos Mystery

And to be added on Winter 1st 123 AoS, A Certainty of Cold which will verify the completion of this Cold Room.

Tracking

Tracking
Level: Expert
Goal: Master

While he hasn't actively used this skill to track down certain individuals or quarries, Rickter's reliance on his sense of smell has allowed him to identify a -lot- of things in his vicinity. As a wolf Rathari his olfactory senses have been used to rely on scents to determine certain informational factors, such as particular smells people give off to even changes in a person's mood. Mastery of this skill ties in with his ability to track down a particular subject, integrating the other senses while he relies on his sense of smell.

*I can actually go back and thoroughly pick out more examples of this, but due to the extensive list of threads that may take up a bit more time. If needed, then I'll update the list accordingly to suit the conditions for meeting expert level.

Two-Handed

Two-Handed
Level: Expert
Goal: Master

As a wielder of a Bastard Sword, Rickter's proficiency with one/two-handed weaponry has developed due to it's interchangeable use of application. With the weight of the blade he has learned mostly to fight with it one-handed, though, the use of it with two hands has become a staple for performing heavier hitting attacks against his foes. Mastery over Two-handed weaponry continues to develop where Rickter refines his prowess using other two-handed weaponry, such as spears or staves, as well as heavier weapons such as a greatsword.

Having gone through the threads posted for your Acrobatics request for the competency level of expert, your request is granted.

However, the fourth thread you listed did not have any acrobatics in it. There is, however, enough points of body control and some exercises and movements in the others to make it acceptable.

Other skill approvals (or denials) to follow as I tackle them.

Bodybuilding is approved.

Caregiving is approved.

Etiquette is approved.

Meditation is approved.

Intimidation is approved.

Seduction is approved.

Scrivening is approved - and an absolute delight of detail and creativity in those threads, I'd like to add.

Tracking is approved.

Two-Handed is approved.

I will add these approvals to your Character Secrets! Happy writing!
