+The criteria for bronze Impression don’t change much from that of any other Impression. We still want mature, active, dynamic RPers that contribute to HRW as a whole.
 The caveat for all bronze applicants is to be prepared for the additional IC and OOC expectations. Like it or not, players look to bronzeriders for more than they would a blue, green, or brownrider. Even if you never obtain any IC rank, you still need to face a bronze Impression with an understanding that people are going to expect you to be more active and more engaging. It’s a higher profile Impression, and we encourage all bronze applicants to really evaluate if they are ready as players to subject themselves and more importantly their characters to the fish-bowl of metallic Impression.

		+	== What's this about sending people to Igen? ==
		+
		+	ICly, a deal was made between Igen and High Reaches that some part of Niahvth's clutch would be returned to Igen post-graduation. At the time of writing, the exact numbers of this have yet to be decided, ICly; it depends on how many eggs Niahvth clutches.

		+	Exactly what will happen as regards to this, ICly, remains to be seen; RP could send it in any number of directions! OOCly, however, we will not force anyone to transfer off-camera, promise! This is primarily something to RP around: how does your character feel about the prospect?
