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: Riza Hawkeye
Character journal: strictdiscipline
Skills: G.......uns??? Basic hand-to-hand too, but mostly firearm use. No need to BYOG, she has extras.
Notes: Willingness to teach depends on the student - she's far more inclined to teach a mature adult than a bubbly 12 year old. That said, given the messes of both Chantes and Nalawi, she definitely thinks everyone in ALASTAIR ought to be able to defend themselves in some way or another. She did a round of lessons in Nalawi so feel free to have your character hear about it through the grapevine. Otherwise her job is literally to kill people so if that's something your character struggles with, we can focus on that aspect of it too.

wow don't hate on 12 year olds

[strictdiscipline]

you're 12, you should be out enjoying life and not getting your feet unbroken and suffering through worlds of pain????


speaking of which i was going to tag your open log, when will i be completely reliable again, weeps

[grunehexe]

well too late for that Riza strap in let's do guns instead might as well???

that is the good thing about open logs, they're oppennnnnn for yo any time still accepting tags

[strictdiscipline]

smh!!!!!

but okay good, let me chug though my current tags and then i'll hit you up. and not be a monumental failure this time around...

[grunehexe]

scooorrreeee

[defenceless]

please teach rin how to be badass like you in hand-to-hand, riza

also killing things maybe

[strictdiscipline]

omg please there's probably better teachers when it comes to hand-to-hand now, she'd gotten a bit rusty

she can def do the killing thing though, even if......she would highly prefer that rin doesn't ever have to kill. she has Many Feelings about killing

[defenceless]

oh no...

she kind of hopes she never has to kill either (she'd freak out), but she knows it's a problem if she can't...

[strictdiscipline]

better to be safe than sorry......

but yes i would love to do a thing with rin! i've been a bit dead lately due to work and i imagine i will continue being dead until my deadlines are over next week thurs but i'm happy to plan and/or slowly chip away at a thing in the meantime

i don't know if you had any plans as to how to bring the subject up or not. i know riza's talked about killing a number of times on the network, most recently on one of the huge nalawi network posts (i think rin's, actually), so you're welcome to use that as a springboard if need be. otherwise we can def manufacture some other situation or just wait for an opportunity later down the line to arise!

[evantuality]

Perhaps some gun training in exchange for a little bit of practical fire know-how??

[strictdiscipline]

yes, for sure!!! we can probably touch on that in our current thread once i get back to my normal tagging schedule

[evantuality]

Aw, yeah, that works perfectly!
