school for kids who can't fight good and want to learn how to do other stuff good too

[heavyhitter]

Hey guys! With Ramir's recent post in mind, I figured I'd throw something together for characters looking to be taught or teach fighty stuff. So here's an OOC planning thing for it! You don't have to have tagged the post to participate, you can assume your character found out there's lessons going on through word of mouth, or however else you like. And on a similar note, Ramir would be happy to play matchmaker and pair teachers with students if you're not sure how the connection might kick off, or you can also handwave that having taken place elsewise. Whatever works!

If you play a teacher, go ahead and use this form and post it in the teacher thread:
<b>Character name:</b> <b>Character journal:</b> <user name=journal> <b>Skills:</b> List any teachable combat skills your character has that they'd be willing to teach others! <b>Notes:</b> Here's the Anything Else section. Is your character going to be a hardass teacher, would they take some doing to be convinced to teach their skills? Would they demand payment from students? Any teachable non-combat skills to throw into the bargain? Any kind of personality they get along with really well, or clash with? Is there a maximum number of students you want them to take on? Anything you can think of that prospective student-players should know.

And students, here's your form for the student thread:
<b>Character name:</b> <b>Character journal:</b> <user name=journal> <b>Preexisting skills:</b> What is your character already good at, and what kind of a foundation are they building on? <b>Skills sought:</b> What would you like your character to learn? It's fine if you don't have anything in mind yet. <b>Notes:</b> Here's the Anything Else section. Would your character be a terrible student or a dedicated learner? Any hang ups that they'd have to get over in lessons? Handicaps? Any kind of personality they get along with really well, or clash with? Anything you can think of that prospective teacher-players should know.

Once that's all filled out, go student/teacher shopping! And yes, you can totally sign up under both headers. Pick up new skills, grab CR you've been coveting for a while! I'm figuring teachers could have multiple students and students could have multiple teachers, just to spread the CR all around. You're also welcome to either plan out threads here, or just talk out and handwave how the lessons would go.

Character name: olivia
Character journal: winces
Preexisting skills: singing, dancing, domestic stuff; she has some sword-fighting skills, and has been learning a lot of healing (both magical and practical) from sieglinde, ashraf, and law!
Skills sought: more sword-fighting and some hand-to-hand combat; she's also got a dagger she should make use of
Notes: olivia is a very dedicated learner, to the point she might even seek out several teachers. she's got the athleticism to fight, but may lack that ~killer's instinct~ (though she has participated in war before, and killed); ideally i'd love for someone to teach her how to take advantage of how light-of-feet she is, and her small stature

I know this isn't the goal of this matchmaking post but I'm gonna need olivia to suplex him at some point if they practice together alright

[winces]

lmskfls YES PLEASE?! let her gently concus you uwu

[12inches]

he can lay his head in her lap if he's concussed right???

[winces]

um yes ofc!?

just don't make ramir jealous >://U

[12inches]

hey she's already wailed to him about not getting to bang your current boy toy, I think this is justified payback

[winces]

ah.... //////////////////

Masa could teach her how to take advantage of her swiftness as well as her ability as a dancer. (Let's teach her how to use dance fans as an offensive/defensive weapon y/n?)

[winces]

omg olivia fighting with fans... I NEED THIS

We've already got a thread going for this, but! Haise is just scant inches bigger than her so he'll surely try and help in turning small stature into an advantage as well. If she communicated some general goals, his experience teaching would fill in the blanks there.

[winces]

omg yes... teach her how to wrassle, haise owo

[ex_adept136]

Grappling is a go. He'll teach her how to break holds and make huge guys beg for mercy.

[winces]

*A* BEST

[ex_adept136]

Gonna be epic. We can get some of that in the training thread once they get past the confusion and worry stage.

[winces]

ahh true!
