Rules for a "Becoming Na'vi" program (sorta long =/)

[Helicoradian]

1) Absolutely NO criminal record, expunged or otherwise.

Agreed

2) Absolutely NO people may participate in the Na'vi program if they are carriers of a genetic disorder or have any history with immuno-inhibitory retrovirii (aka AIDS) or any STDs.

Ok, I got a serious problem with this. Even though the RDA might be out of the picture you would still need to use their tech to get to Pandora. What this means is the ability to fix genetic and physical problems (such as a spine injury) would be possible. Somebody who has a physical problem or disability might just have the right mindset to follow through with this program (such as Jake Sully), I'll expand on this more below. A stipulation to this should be if a physical impairment is caused by negligence or on purpose.

3) To participate in the Na'vi program, you must be between the ages of 18 and 35.

Ok

4) Absolutely NO pets.

A given

5) People who are participating in the Na'vi program may bring ONE item with them to keep if they pass the tests laid before them by their respective tribe; it may NOT be an electronic, religious, chemical, or biological item, and it may NOT be any kind of food or drink.

Agreed but kind of iffy on the religious part

What do you think? There's gotta be some rules that I left out or forgot about......

A mental aptitude test should be the second thing given after a background check, as the driver would require a sharp mind to keep the Avatar safe for the duration. Also a consideration of the persons obligations should be considered (such as family) as they could prove to be too distracting. I think somebody with a similar situation to Jake's would be the best candidate.

Very good topic, Zai-en-ken
