Level 6
Out-Of-Character Information
What is your Minecraft username?: _Hiromi_Higuruma
Do you have Discord (If so, what is your discord username?): hiromi_higuruma__
What is your time zone?: EST GMT- 5 (Dont quote me on the GMT 5 thingie but I am EST.)
Describe your activity on the server: I'd give it a solid 7-8/10. Currently I am doing alot of studies for insurance but I am very capable of being active, attending meetings, etc. Basically my usual time for SRP is from 6 until 11 pm, but I am able to appear on earlier if I need to. Saturdays, I can appear earlier or whenever as long as it isnt early morning. Sundays I can also still show up at the same times I've mentioned above.
Do you acknowledge that if you are inactive you will be demoted?: Absolutely!
School Employee Role you are applying for?: Counselor!
In as much detail as possible, describe the employee role you are applying for: Counselor or well, school counselors are of course different from the patrolling councillors that roam the hallways of the school, sitting more in a singular room and acting as a sort of school 'psychiatrist.' Atleast in a way. School counselors are normally seen sitting in a corner of the school where they wait for students to approach, and if a student needs some help either with personal issues or even academic issues, they can follow the counselor into the back in a sound proof room. Now into the more technical part of what counselors do. They support the growth of students academically and help aid with academic achievements, career exploration, and social emotional development. They can provide direct services for students such as one on one counseling, even for personal issues. Going through this a little one by one, lets start off with personal issues. Thankfully, if you get the right student counselor you wont get MORE issues and end up with someone sassy, but the counselor is there to provide a source of emotional outlet for students if they experience issues such as bullying, depression, anxiety with certain things, etc. Now while they don't directly teach things or help with academics such as how tutors do, they are able to talk with the student about what path they wish to take academically, such as helping them figure out which route in school they would like to take for a job in the future.
What experience, in general, do you have in roleplay?: Experience in roleplay? I'd say quite a bit, especially here on the server. For most of my life I've spent alot of time roleplaying and staying in overall fantasy situations. But more specifically, I'll say my average experience here on SRP. I originally joined back in.. I think late 2021? I joined as one of those little greenies who had nothing else to do, but I essentially learned very quickly about the rules and how to properly roleplay on the server. In this time from 2021 to 2026, I've been through a total of four factions, including now being in crime and becoming involved in fight club, mechanic, and a soon to be Yakuza member. I've spent my time as a college character and figured out how to grade up from a 12th to a college, and overall have been apart of quite a few events. I've worked as a teacher before, and my most well known role has been as a Governor. And yes, I have been through a bunch of characters, BUT each one of them have helped me learn more about this server and just about how to make a better, more unique character. I also had spent atleast two years just running around on a college character and witnessing how other factions worked, being involved in the supernatural side of things such as Halloween and the ghost side of things during October.
Why do you want to join the School Employee faction?: From the very start I've kinda been interested in being a school employee, I once was a teacher and it didnt fit my style, but school employee has been something I wanted to join for a while. I did apply for librarian once and was rejected probably for the spots being full, it wasnt mentioned why but that's my guess. But this faction overall seems interesting, and I am interested for the fact that I get to interact with more people and overall just have more exposure to people, and in general, just get out there more and roleplay more. Plus I want some work to do on this server, and school employee is something I've been looking forward to trying. Counselor is also a bit more of a special role to me due to the fact that students are approaching the counselor with personal issues and overall just need someone to talk to, and this is also a great opportunity for me to be able to help out new players who have no idea what they're doing on the server, such as greentags.

Situations
During a work-shift a student starts cursing at you for being pathetic, how does your character react?: Pathetic? Thar? Oh what nonsense, those two words dont belong in the same sentence together. Thar had been minding his own business, sitting behind the desk as he was mid way to sipping his tea, cup held in hand as the steam hit his nose, as a proper British man, this was his natural habitat, now disturbed by a wild student who for some reason, decided it was time to ruin Thar's peace. As the student had approached he could feel the sensation of a disturbance of whatever precious peace remained, a gleam in their eye that indicated they were coming with a mischievous intent. And there it is, they call him pathetic. He simply sets down his tea, taking a glance over the student and making direct eyecontact. Why shouldnt he? They came at him after all. With the personality of a patient saint, and subtle sass of a nun, he'd respond deliberately. "Apologies, perhaps I had cotton in my ears, could you repeat that?" No challenge, simply a calm and collected tone as they repeat their sentence, Thar slightly leaning forward as he rests a hand by his ear, ensuring he can 'properly' hear this student's insult. "Now that isnt very nice now is it? Approaching a faculty member simply trying to enjoy his tea." The whole time, he wears a subtle smile on his lips, indicating he isnt even the least bit bothered by this child. "Unfortunately for you I do follow the rules, if you call me pathetic again, it could result in detention considering the select words you also provided with that statement." Not his fault they decided it was time to get in trouble, yikes. Of course, if they continue with their behavior, deciding to continue to instigate and further get themselves in trouble, a mere tilt of the head is all it takes before he responds with a final remark. "My my, well I am sorry you've seemed to have such a bad day, it's about to get worse if you call me another name. If so, I will be giving a little call to the SLT." And then, he waits.
You notice two students are physically fighting in the hallway, – multiple punches have been thrown – how does your character react?: Just a simple day of walking down the hallway, it was a mere trip to the lounge to grab a cup of coffee. It should have been simple atleast, that's how it was planned.. Until the shouting began. Of course, some jocks or students with too much hype are caught up in some sort of a dispute, but wait.. Its a physical fight! Not just a verbal one. Slaps, punches, hopefully not any sort of dripping noises because blood is just awful for everyone to clean, the nurses have seen far too many bloody noses, bless their hearts. Thar would approach, notice the students immediately, and approach in a few simple long strides of his legs. It's no trouble, just another couple of students being rowdy and hyped up. Without a second glance and with no hesitation, he'd stop by the students and speak at the same time while acting, saying that the two of them need to split apart, and he would be separating them with a simple action. Of course being the calm man he is, he wouldnt raise his voice, that doesnt do much good for already rowdy students if they were shouting to begin with. "Brawls inside the school are strictly prohibited, and last I recall, acting out as Kung Fu Panda isnt the brightest idea when detention is involved." He'd make sure the both of them stay before he takes out detention slips, a little sliver of tape at the ends as he hands it to them, making sure that even if they do throw the slips, it sticks to their hands, and goes nowhere. Harmless of course, but they wont escape detention, not these slips!
Another school employee is clearly acting inappropriately, doing something very dangerous on the job, how does your character react?: Another coworker? Acting dangerously on the job? How outrageous. Still as calm as ever, he would approach this school employee with a calmed gait, arms behind his back before stopping beside them and giving a little tap on their shoulder. If they're around a bunch of students, he would speak softly to them. "Hate to be a day wrecker, but please, come with me." When they follow him away to a quieter corner, he'd simply watch them for a moment before saying in quite the calm tone. "Clearly, you're aware of what you're doing due being cognitive enough to actually follow me to this corner. But I must ask." After a pause, he'd continue. "What on earth actually caused you to proceed with such egregious actions? Especially infront of the students?" He wouldnt even sound angry, or even reprimanding, simply curious and something akin to being baffled at how this school employee, could do such an action. He listens to their excuses thoroughly of course, being the counselor he is, he's used to children speaking their minds. "This somehow excuses your behavior? Such audacity." A subtle smile tugs at his lips yet again before he gestures to their form. "Do me a favor, just search up the user manual for school employees, the one all of us are given." Patiently, he waits, watching them as they pull out their phone and pull up the guide. That, is when he'd gesture for them to give him the phone, and if they do, he gently taps the top of their head with it before handing it back to them. "Hopefully you've gained a bit more wisdom from that tap, and while you are spending your time reading that manual, I will be filing a report for your behavior, goodbye now!" With a little wave and a beloved grin, he would walk away without another word. Students protected, another day ruined.
When in the employee break room, how does your character act? This is his time to shine, when there are moments of being able to just relax and have time to himself. If Thar is seen in the break room by himself, it usually looks like this. Perched on a chair all relaxed and calm, cup of tea in hand along with some reading glasses set on his nose as he reads either off of his phone or from a newspaper from the Karakuran daily news. This is his natural habitat, just sitting in a quiet space where he's able to properly rest from a day of hearing daily drama from students and the perpetual chaos of the school. When he's alone this is typically what he's seen doing as it doesnt require any effort. Now if you add to this equation that someone is there with him.. Things change. He sits in a more attentive pose, eyes on the person as they speak and he is seemingly always ready to interact with everyone and anyone who is around him, no matter the time of day or hour. Knowing that he's a counselor, he always makes himself known to people in the break room that if they need someone to talk to about issues, he is always open to listen. But other than this, he is usually either drinking a coffee or a cup of tea, or even a cold glass of water, simply minding his own business as he exists.
Provide us with at least three detailed /me's of your character whilst on your chosen role:
/me Leaned back in the chair with a casual ease that could only be described as a cat becoming comfortable with its environment, gaze lowered as he nursed a cup of tea held in one large hand. He never worried, atleast from the looks of things, quite frequently wearing a neutral, calmed expression as he is now. Those silver colored irises are focused on a file before him, which he has been doing all morning.. File sorting. Of course as all students come inside this little office with their problems and issues, drama or whatever happens these days, he has their files so he's capable of tracking it. While it may sound rude, its better to be prepared than lost about a circumstance a student dealt with a month ago. His gaze softened further into a halflidded state as his fingers sifted through each page, the tips lightly brushing against the smooth surface as a sigh escapes his lips. "I wonder if he will come back for more advice about that one girl.. And I wonder when he'll realize I'm no cupid." A soft comment that slips past his usually saint like appearance, one hand raising to cover his mouth while a quieted chuckle escapes through his nose. "Dear me, how inconsiderate." His fingers slide another paper into view, his form only slightly sitting up further before leaning back. "Ah yes this one again.. Another chaotic day awaits me if this one comes back. Prone to swirlies but allergic to common sense." He'd set down that paper, lifting the tea up to his lips as a exhale blows away the steam gently, a careful gesture as to not spill hot tea everywhere. After a sip is properly taken, he sets down the glass before scooting the chair backwards, carrying the files with care before sliding them into their proper folders, sectioning them away by perfect alphabetical order into each filing cabinet. "Someone misplaced this file? Where did it come from.. Ah." Of course someone had misplaced the file. Without much hurry in his movements and the grace of a morning stretch, he'd slide the file back into where it belongs. "..Why are there several other files missing?" Oh dear, apparently people need to really watch what they're doing. Despite this being a rather irritating issue, he shows no irritation, no anger while searching for the files and where they belong with a casual ease. This, this isnt much at all, easy infact.
/me Sitting in a calmed, attentive position, he glances to the student with a calmed gaze that clearly soothed their nerves, his glasses pushed up properly on his nose to hide more of the piercing silver color hidden behind them. Slowly, his head tilted to the side with a sort of curiosity as he'd begin to speak. "You've been dealing with quite a bit of anxiety about this test for a while, correct?" As the student nods in agreement, his posture changes as he'd lean back, arms resting politely in his lap as his hands are clasped together, clearly aiming to appear less intimidating, and less in the student's space. "Well, I have some good news for you." His head tilts back up, a sort of gentle calm passing between the two of them as he'd watch the student lean forward with expectancy. "..The good news, is that it's entirely normal what you're feeling. Everyone experiences anxiety or fear due to these tests, atleast most people who actually have a properly functioning mind." The silver eyes soften to a halflidded state at the sight of the student clearly relaxing further, his little humorous comment having calmed them. "What I'm getting at is that what you're feeling is normal, and you need to give yourself a bit more credit when it comes down to intelligence. It was already quite brave approaching me for this issue, even if its my job.. Its a job well done to you." Slowly, his lips upturn into a gentle smile. "Listen, when you feel a wave of anxiety beginning to take over, take a step away from the problem and breathe in deeply for three seconds, hold it for three seconds, and then exhale for three seconds until your heart stops racing as badly. That, is when you talk to yourself. Tell yourself quietly that you've got this." At seeing the student nod, he appears softly pleased that the student actually is taking his advice instead of sticking their head in the sand and playing ostrich when things go wrong. "I would like you to come back eventually so I can know how you're doing, alright?" With that, he would excuse the student whenever they are ready.
/me He sort of watches them with a neutral gaze, yet judging how he pauses with an almost confused gaze.. He's mildly baffled. This student wants to do what now? "Apologies, but please repeat that." With a gentle clear of his throat, he waits for the student to repeat what they had said. Yes, he heard it the first time, but its so unbelievable he needs to hear it for a second time. "To understand this properly.. You want to know if there is a degree for potato farming and.. Chicken raising? And you also want to be a cosmetologist?" What a unique combination, and utterly chaotic. "..Well unfortunately I hate to break it to you but the market for makeup and nail salons are rather low in the farm department. Considering how the pigs and cows dont particularly care if you're wearing hello kitty glitter sparkle nails or not." Slowly, he adjusts his glasses while listening to the student ranting, little to no notes present on his clipboard while the student continues to blab on. Good grief, what in the Almighty's name possessed this child to try and achieve such.. A useless combination of ideas? Did this student accidentally eat a piece of their decorative nail while also eating a potato? "Yes, I do understand that you want to achieve.. One of those things, but perhaps I can recommend simply stepping into cosmetology and waiting to retire with a potato farm and.. Cows? Do understand, I am not trying to dissuade you, but perhaps save that for retirement life somewhere in the states like Utah, or somewhere more peaceful like a remote section of the mainland." Goodness sakes this student is stubborn. "With cosmetology, you will be able to work for a company freely after you've obtained a license and school credits for it. Hairstyles, makeup, nails.. Well, you can apply for that either way but these are all things that are achievable. Please, do reconsider whatever.. The original thought was."

Backstory
After having obtained majors and minors both heading down the path of psychology studies and things that are just interesting in general, he decided to go through a couple of positions before arriving here. Originally, he worked as a nurse in another school, constantly around injuries and overall just students experiencing issues in general. These students appeared to keep their emotions rather bottled up, which of course.. Reasonably isnt good. They needed someone to talk to. Eventually he moved on, volunteering for a hospital as he worked alongside other volunteers to help aid people who needed food. This was pretty frequent, and he helped quite a few individuals. Now, most people during this time would have a general idea of what they wanted to do in life. This man? Judging by the choices being made? Probably had no idea at all, he continued to bounce from volunteer work to volunteer work at different hospitals. Eventually he did return to volunteer at a school.. But he happened to notice that students began seeking him out just to talk to him. This was pretty normal, considering that despite his intimidating height, he found himself constantly sought after by students in the school who found him easy to talk to and get along with. He spoke to them with kindness, and even with the past knowledge of tending to wounds, he was able to just give them mild first aid if they came up to him while being injured. He took them to the nurses office where they could get the help properly needed, but ended up staying around due to the students venting to him about their problems. And each time.. he always listened. He never rushed away to do other things, never rushed away to do his own thing and leave a student in need behind. No, he started building a reputation as a man who people could talk to freely. That, is when he began his career as a counselor for another school. This wasnt difficult, considering he already had a degree by this point and was able to take this job easily. This, is when his reputation really began to build. He helped students not only figure out what academic route they wanted to take in life, but he was able to help them get through some personal issues that had begun to eat away at them. Eventually it became the case that he wanted to take his experience elsewhere.. And he found an advertisement online funnily enough for a job in the Karakura high school for working as a counselor. He took the job, and now is here, applying for this position.
────────────
Motivation for Joining KHS (Character perspective): After sitting down, he began to get comfortable. One ankle resting over the other knee as his gaze half lidded yet attentive, focuses on the person before him, his hands clasped neatly together as an exhale leaves his lips. "Motivation for joining this school?" Slowly, his head tilted backwards and to the side slightly, the rims of his glasses hiding his silver gaze from view before his head finally pulled back down. "Quite honestly I had become curious from the reviews of this position online, and from what I've seen.. They need employees who ultimately take their job seriously, and actually care for their students. Easy, yes?" A soft chuckle escapes him in the form as a subtle shoulder shake and upturn of his lips. "I am one of those people who take their jobs very seriously, and this would be entirely simple for me. Curiosity, job endeavors, new experiences and things to explore are why I'm here today."
Why should you be accepted over the other applicants?: "Why I should be accepted over other applicants? My, its so simple, truly." His hands remain clasped in his lap as his long legs shift, the fabric of his clothing rustling as he'd shift positions where the other leg is now crossed over the other. "First and foremost.. I actually care. That appears to be quite rare from the posts made from students online. They need a safe space, not some rodeo controlled by tired adults." Every word spoken is done with a calm, neutral tone. "I work hard, I aim to move up in the ranks, and I absolutely will work hard enough and do enough to gain the title of Head of Department. Yes, I am that bold, which is what you need." A subtle twitch of his fingers is present before entirely relaxing. "I arrive on time, ultimately make room for every student I come across and absolutely will stop fights if necessary. Another note is that I fully intend to adhere to the rules. It's almost shocking how many individuals cant follow simple rules, but this is also Karakura." A soft exhale follows as he continues. "I'm fully mentally capable and ready to handle any tasks given my way, and am ready to take on any and all responsibilities. That, is a guarantee." Those silver colored eyes remain locked on the person, not once having left as they have his full attention. "I aim to give a better name to the school employees, which is exactly what I will be doing." Slowly rising from the chair, he'd begin to approach the door, grabbing ahold of the handle before giving a gentle twist and pull. "Now, I'm off to go get some tea, I hope you have a wonderful day." Left, closing the door behind himself with a gentle click.

He wouldnt even sound angry, or even reprimanding, simply curious and something akin to being baffled at how this school employee, could do such an action. He listens to their excuses thoroughly of course, being the counselor he is, he's used to children speaking their minds. "This somehow excuses your behavior? Such audacity." A subtle smile tugs at his lips yet again before he gestures to their form. "Do me a favor, just search up the user manual for school employees, the one all of us are given." Patiently, he waits, watching them as they pull out their phone and pull up the guide. That, is when he'd gesture for them to give him the phone, and if they do, he gently taps the top of their head with it before handing it back to them. "Hopefully you've gained a bit more wisdom from that tap, and while you are spending your time reading that manual, I will be filing a report for your behavior, goodbye now!" With a little wave and a beloved grin, he would walk away without another word. Students protected, another day ruined.
When in the employee break room, how does your character act? This is his time to shine, when there are moments of being able to just relax and have time to himself. If Thar is seen in the break room by himself, it usually looks like this. Perched on a chair all relaxed and calm, cup of tea in hand along with some reading glasses set on his nose as he reads either off of his phone or from a newspaper from the Karakuran daily news. This is his natural habitat, just sitting in a quiet space where he's able to properly rest from a day of hearing daily drama from students and the perpetual chaos of the school. When he's alone this is typically what he's seen doing as it doesnt require any effort. Now if you add to this equation that someone is there with him.. Things change. He sits in a more attentive pose, eyes on the person as they speak and he is seemingly always ready to interact with everyone and anyone who is around him, no matter the time of day or hour. Knowing that he's a counselor, he always makes himself known to people in the break room that if they need someone to talk to about issues, he is always open to listen. But other than this, he is usually either drinking a coffee or a cup of tea, or even a cold glass of water, simply minding his own business as he exists.
Provide us with at least three detailed /me's of your character whilst on your chosen role:
/me Leaned back in the chair with a casual ease that could only be described as a cat becoming comfortable with its environment, gaze lowered as he nursed a cup of tea held in one large hand. He never worried, atleast from the looks of things, quite frequently wearing a neutral, calmed expression as he is now. Those silver colored irises are focused on a file before him, which he has been doing all morning.. File sorting. Of course as all students come inside this little office with their problems and issues, drama or whatever happens these days, he has their files so he's capable of tracking it. While it may sound rude, its better to be prepared than lost about a circumstance a student dealt with a month ago. His gaze softened further into a halflidded state as his fingers sifted through each page, the tips lightly brushing against the smooth surface as a sigh escapes his lips. "I wonder if he will come back for more advice about that one girl.. And I wonder when he'll realize I'm no cupid." A soft comment that slips past his usually saint like appearance, one hand raising to cover his mouth while a quieted chuckle escapes through his nose. "Dear me, how inconsiderate." His fingers slide another paper into view, his form only slightly sitting up further before leaning back. "Ah yes this one again.. Another chaotic day awaits me if this one comes back. Prone to swirlies but allergic to common sense." He'd set down that paper, lifting the tea up to his lips as a exhale blows away the steam gently, a careful gesture as to not spill hot tea everywhere. After a sip is properly taken, he sets down the glass before scooting the chair backwards, carrying the files with care before sliding them into their proper folders, sectioning them away by perfect alphabetical order into each filing cabinet. "Someone misplaced this file? Where did it come from.. Ah." Of course someone had misplaced the file. Without much hurry in his movements and the grace of a morning stretch, he'd slide the file back into where it belongs. "..Why are there several other files missing?" Oh dear, apparently people need to really watch what they're doing. Despite this being a rather irritating issue, he shows no irritation, no anger while searching for the files and where they belong with a casual ease. This, this isnt much at all, easy infact.
/me Sitting in a calmed, attentive position, he glances to the student with a calmed gaze that clearly soothed their nerves, his glasses pushed up properly on his nose to hide more of the piercing silver color hidden behind them. Slowly, his head tilted to the side with a sort of curiosity as he'd begin to speak. "You've been dealing with quite a bit of anxiety about this test for a while, correct?" As the student nods in agreement, his posture changes as he'd lean back, arms resting politely in his lap as his hands are clasped together, clearly aiming to appear less intimidating, and less in the student's space. "Well, I have some good news for you." His head tilts back up, a sort of gentle calm passing between the two of them as he'd watch the student lean forward with expectancy. "..The good news, is that it's entirely normal what you're feeling. Everyone experiences anxiety or fear due to these tests, atleast most people who actually have a properly functioning mind." The silver eyes soften to a halflidded state at the sight of the student clearly relaxing further, his little humorous comment having calmed them. "What I'm getting at is that what you're feeling is normal, and you need to give yourself a bit more credit when it comes down to intelligence. It was already quite brave approaching me for this issue, even if its my job.. Its a job well done to you." Slowly, his lips upturn into a gentle smile. "Listen, when you feel a wave of anxiety beginning to take over, take a step away from the problem and breathe in deeply for three seconds, hold it for three seconds, and then exhale for three seconds until your heart stops racing as badly. That, is when you talk to yourself. Tell yourself quietly that you've got this." At seeing the student nod, he appears softly pleased that the student actually is taking his advice instead of sticking their head in the sand and playing ostrich when things go wrong. "I would like you to come back eventually so I can know how you're doing, alright?" With that, he would excuse the student whenever they are ready.
/me He sort of watches them with a neutral gaze, yet judging how he pauses with an almost confused gaze.. He's mildly baffled. This student wants to do what now? "Apologies, but please repeat that." With a gentle clear of his throat, he waits for the student to repeat what they had said. Yes, he heard it the first time, but its so unbelievable he needs to hear it for a second time. "To understand this properly.. You want to know if there is a degree for potato farming and.. Chicken raising? And you also want to be a cosmetologist?" What a unique combination, and utterly chaotic. "..Well unfortunately I hate to break it to you but the market for makeup and nail salons are rather low in the farm department. Considering how the pigs and cows dont particularly care if you're wearing hello kitty glitter sparkle nails or not." Slowly, he adjusts his glasses while listening to the student ranting, little to no notes present on his clipboard while the student continues to blab on. Good grief, what in the Almighty's name possessed this child to try and achieve such.. A useless combination of ideas? Did this student accidentally eat a piece of their decorative nail while also eating a potato? "Yes, I do understand that you want to achieve.. One of those things, but perhaps I can recommend simply stepping into cosmetology and waiting to retire with a potato farm and.. Cows? Do understand, I am not trying to dissuade you, but perhaps save that for retirement life somewhere in the states like Utah, or somewhere more peaceful like a remote section of the mainland." Goodness sakes this student is stubborn. "With cosmetology, you will be able to work for a company freely after you've obtained a license and school credits for it. Hairstyles, makeup, nails.. Well, you can apply for that either way but these are all things that are achievable. Please, do reconsider whatever.. The original thought was."

Backstory
After having obtained majors and minors both heading down the path of psychology studies and things that are just interesting in general, he decided to go through a couple of positions before arriving here. Originally, he worked as a nurse in another school, constantly around injuries and overall just students experiencing issues in general. These students appeared to keep their emotions rather bottled up, which of course.. Reasonably isnt good. They needed someone to talk to. Eventually he moved on, volunteering for a hospital as he worked alongside other volunteers to help aid people who needed food. This was pretty frequent, and he helped quite a few individuals. Now, most people during this time would have a general idea of what they wanted to do in life. This man? Judging by the choices being made? Probably had no idea at all, he continued to bounce from volunteer work to volunteer work at different hospitals. Eventually he did return to volunteer at a school.. But he happened to notice that students began seeking him out just to talk to him. This was pretty normal, considering that despite his intimidating height, he found himself constantly sought after by students in the school who found him easy to talk to and get along with. He spoke to them with kindness, and even with the past knowledge of tending to wounds, he was able to just give them mild first aid if they came up to him while being injured. He took them to the nurses office where they could get the help properly needed, but ended up staying around due to the students venting to him about their problems. And each time.. he always listened. He never rushed away to do other things, never rushed away to do his own thing and leave a student in need behind. No, he started building a reputation as a man who people could talk to freely. That, is when he began his career as a counselor for another school. This wasnt difficult, considering he already had a degree by this point and was able to take this job easily. This, is when his reputation really began to build. He helped students not only figure out what academic route they wanted to take in life, but he was able to help them get through some personal issues that had begun to eat away at them. Eventually it became the case that he wanted to take his experience elsewhere.. And he found an advertisement online funnily enough for a job in the Karakura high school for working as a counselor. He took the job, and now is here, applying for this position.

Motivation for Joining KHS (Character perspective): After sitting down, he began to get comfortable. One ankle resting over the other knee as his gaze half lidded yet attentive, focuses on the person before him, his hands clasped neatly together as an exhale leaves his lips. "Motivation for joining this school?" Slowly, his head tilted backwards and to the side slightly, the rims of his glasses hiding his silver gaze from view before his head finally pulled back down. "Quite honestly I had become curious from the reviews of this position online, and from what I've seen.. They need employees who ultimately take their job seriously, and actually care for their students. Easy, yes?" A soft chuckle escapes him in the form as a subtle shoulder shake and upturn of his lips. "I am one of those people who take their jobs very seriously, and this would be entirely simple for me. Curiosity, job endeavors, new experiences and things to explore are why I'm here today."
Why should you be accepted over the other applicants?: "Why I should be accepted over other applicants? My, its so simple, truly." His hands remain clasped in his lap as his long legs shift, the fabric of his clothing rustling as he'd shift positions where the other leg is now crossed over the other. "First and foremost.. I actually care. That appears to be quite rare from the posts made from students online. They need a safe space, not some rodeo controlled by tired adults." Every word spoken is done with a calm, neutral tone. "I work hard, I aim to move up in the ranks, and I absolutely will work hard enough and do enough to gain the title of Head of Department. Yes, I am that bold, which is what you need." A subtle twitch of his fingers is present before entirely relaxing. "I arrive on time, ultimately make room for every student I come across and absolutely will stop fights if necessary. Another note is that I fully intend to adhere to the rules. It's almost shocking how many individuals cant follow simple rules, but this is also Karakura." A soft exhale follows as he continues. "I'm fully mentally capable and ready to handle any tasks given my way, and am ready to take on any and all responsibilities. That, is a guarantee." Those silver colored eyes remain locked on the person, not once having left as they have his full attention. "I aim to give a better name to the school employees, which is exactly what I will be doing." Slowly rising from the chair, he'd begin to approach the door, grabbing ahold of the handle before giving a gentle twist and pull. "Now, I'm off to go get some tea, I hope you have a wonderful day." Left, closing the door behind himself with a gentle click.
