The Opening of Xavier Academy

[calmyourmind]

Shortly (sometime tonight) I will be throwing up an IC post to address this, but Charles is about to open up a school on the island. This school is for all levels of education and any student is welcome to attend. It will be an attempt to help prepare the young people of Atlantis for dangers they may face in the future and help build stronger connections and a sense of teamwork among them.

So this post is to address a number of things. Firstly some details about the school: 
Students will be split into 5 'sections' or teams, each of which will have a different day of the school week assigned as their 'training' day. During the four other days of the week, students will attend a number of classes, and on the fifth day, whichever is their assigned day, will spend the day with their teammates working on honing their skills and learning to work together with one another on a variety of exercises, both physical and problem-solving. Charles (and whoever he manages to rope in to assist him) will work on finding each students 'talents' and helping them learn how to put them to use in emergency situations or problems that arise.

I'd love to hear from people who would like their characters involved in this, whether as a student role or a teacher role so I put up two threads here and I'll keep this post updated as I figure out who is teaching what and who is attending. I'll add his school as a post to the navigation of the game later so people can have it for a reference. This is a good opportunity for both character development and new CR so feel free to come play along.

If your character isn't likely to go on their own but you want them to, let me know. Charles can be very convincing.

Teaching/Assisting Trainers/Etc Sign Ups

And what you would be interested in them doing

Sam will gladly help his brother-in-law Charles out with this. At the minimum, he can help with training, since he has decent knowledge of weaponry/hand-to-hand combat/ect. He also might try being a good influence on some of the kids who need it. (Hi Chase.)

He still has school/managing that coffee place, but Sam's all for staying in Charles's good graces because of Raven, so he'll help more in other ways if he wants it.


David can help with training too, but he's limited to swordsmanship.

Gen will be the handy dandy guidance counselor.

Elphaba will teach ethics. Have fun with that, guys.

Oh hey that's some nice pigmentation you have there.

Thanks, you too.

I figure Ghani might make a pretty good teacher, apart from the "but you look like a teenager" aspect.

Thoughts on this?

Kate is probably going to want to teach hand to hand combat and marksmanship - she's going to try to argue that she's been in enough situations like the dragon to teach other kids - but in the end I want her to be an assistant.

Natasha Romanoff - Russian, Latin, hand-to-hand combat, espionage are all viable things Nat can teach. :|a
Selena Stilinski - general studies! She used to teach kindergarten but that was her preference, she can teach the older kids too.
