Training/Spars Sign ups!

[swordfucker]

Hello!! I'm hopping in here right before I head out for the day to provide an ooc sign up sort of thing for Guren's post. Rather than have everyone spar or train with Guren, which is a little limited, I thought it would be fun for him to set people up.

The way this works is Guren will take a look at who agreed to help for teaching/sparring, and who agreed to have an interest in learning, and match some partners out of it! It's something you can handwave with people or work out threads every so often without a strict schedule, just assuming that Guren will check up on them every so often. (And icly, he will unless you'd like to request that he not.)

So! I'll have a couple threads below, and you can fill out this little form:
<b>Player name:</b> <b>Character name:</b> <b>Character weapon:</b> fighting style of choice, any info regarding that <b>Extra:</b> Guren doesn't just pair people up by fighting ability. He'll be looking at matching personality types and wanting to encourage friendship, too, so anything that would help me choose for that would go here! <b>Is more than one partner okay?:</b> Let me know if you'd rather only get one piece of extra CR from this! Guren may find certain characters more flexible and able to work with more than one person, or maybe you want your character to both be a teacher and a learner, things like that.

If there are any other questions, just let me know below! For those who would like your character to be involved but they wouldn't ICly sign up, if Guren just assigning them someone out of the blue would help, fill out a form and let me know we're assuming that, since he's totally the type. I'll get to any questions and the rest of my tags once I'm home from work. Pair ups will happen at first by Friday, right before whatever the event is, but it's never too late to sign up! Guren will occasionally remind people over the network if it goes well and anyone who signs up late will get someone, even if it's Guren until others sign up again.

Teacher/Sparring

[lonered]

Player name: Daisy
Character name: Keith
Character weapon: Sword primarily, but he's also fairly skilled at hand to hand.
Extra: Keith can be kind of a moody, awkward jerkface, but he means well and really would like to help people learn to defend themselves. ...and be ready to fight if it ever comes to it.
Is more than one partner okay?: Yeah, of course. The more the merrier.

Okay, I'm going to reply to everyone here just to let you know I'll be getting to IC responses right now! Guren will hit up their inbox privately to give these assignments, so I wrote them out ICly one by one. I didn’t follow any sort of format and went off my lists, so hopefully I didn’t miss anything. If you'd like to thread out with me, feel free, and know that Guren will stubbornly keep the assignments unless you tell me OOCly (privately or here is fine) that something doesn't work! Or you can ignore my comment and go straight to plotting with the others who signed up. I hope everyone has fun with this!

You can also let me know if you’d like Guren to give specific instructions/assignments to teacher/student teams or sparring partners. If you can’t work out who’d win, you can also ask me to RNG for you or decide based on what I think…! Basically just let me know how I can help in any way. ♥

I’ve got that information. I want you to teach a guy named Akira, username #EA0000. He ripped my front door off the hinges, so he’s got to be good for something. For a starting technique on getting him to learn anything, push him as hard as you can in the first go. Maybe he’ll pull something out. Or maybe he’s overall useless. Just let me know if you need any wooden swords.

Your sparring partner is Akihiko #DB1C1C. Seems like he focuses on hand to hand, but it’s your choice if you’d rather match him or use your sword. I’m not laying any rules down for that.

There are no changes. If you back out of this, you’re letting everyone down, so go tell them yourself and don’t waste my time again. I’m not holding your hand through all of this, but you can let me know if you have questions. That’s all.
