Your character and suit are your choice. Powers and evolution come from saved learning evidence.
How powers are earned
The first correct answer in each problem family earns 20 XP once. Variants in that family do not award more XP. A power needs three different problem families, at least two UTC calendar dates and a transfer mission, all scored at 85% or higher. These exact-answer missions score 0 or 100. Each newly mastered skill adds one stage and 50 XP once.
Your first submitted answer is final; after feedback, use a fresh mission to demonstrate learning. Replays, page views, avatar previews and the public lesson self-checks award nothing. Powers recognise selected-response reasoning, not coding execution, Create-task authorship, an AP score or full-course mastery. No streak penalty or public leaderboard.
Ten powers. Eighty fresh missions.
