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.

oooh, that will be a good thread, too. Any ideas on how Haise will be outing himself in particular yet? Laedo will be very 8I about it. Caetrans (his sworn enemies) can take human form too, and they've got rumours of cannibalism and worse. I think he'll be pretty torn over the comparison. :c Haise seems like such a nice guy, after all.

I think after a while they'd be liable to have a deeper rapport, especially since they're getting their spar on. That or if Haise is reminded that he's got some issues with stability if he's pushed a little too far in a combat situation. Or if his supplies ever run short during a mission...yeah. Definite possibilities.

Because the thing is, he puts others before himself. He'd rather get taken down than do something regrettable.

If you want to wrap up our current thread, I'm down to move on to future ones--or we can continue threading and handwave some of this CR until we hit a juicy point. >:U I'm so game for all of this but I wish I had more time to consistently tag over the work week. I really like what we have going so far.

[ex_adept136]

We could wrap up the current one and then have something that takes place later, maybe say they've taken up sparring on a regular basis if Laedo would be inclined? Haise is basically always down for training. And hey, work weeks are tough. I'll backtag forever anyhow.

[asscan]

I admit I've had your starter open over the week, too, so I'm conflicted! Mind if we do a little of both?

[ex_adept136]

I'm good with all the things! Haise's tagload is pretty balanced, lately.
