Trivia
What is your motivation for becoming a teacher?:
I would like to expand my horizons for different types of roleplay, and this is a fun way that I can do it. I highly look forward to being able to set classes and roleplay as a teacher on this server.
Do you have any experience in Roleplaying?:
Yes, I have been roleplaying since I was about 11 years old and then took a break between the ages of 12 to 14. I recently got back into roleplay a few months ago and have been enjoying it very much. I have met many friends on the way and I look forward to what is coming next.
Have you read the Faculty Handbook?:
Yes, I have read the Faculty Handbook thoroughly.
What are the classroom logs and why is it important?:
Classroom logs are essentially server logs for a class. These show everything that happens in a class, and if a student has done something wrong, they can be punished. This also means that if a teacher is not doing their job, they can be demoted. Classroom logs are also how the teacher gets paid.
You want to start a school field trip; how do you do that?:
When starting a school trip, I must ask the Principal or one of the Vice Principals for approval. I must tell them what the educational part of it is, where we are going to, and what we are going to do.
As a teacher, what are the strict rules when being in a class?:
- The students must respect the teacher
- No eating or drinking is permitted in the classroom unless given permission.
- All students must stay seated during the lesson unless instructed.
- Violence in class will result in both of the parties to detention or escorted out to the principal's office.
- All phones in class must be disabled and should stay in your bag, except when you have permission from the teacher.
Summarize your previous RP experience's (both in general and on SchoolRP):
I have been in many different settings of roleplay. I first started on a, at the time, large Minecraft server called Omega Realm. There was a creative section on there which had many different types of RP, my favourite one being a school RP. I loved it, and then eventually got into dm rps. This is when I started my break from RP. When I got back into RP, I found SchoolRP on NameMC and thought that I should join because I haven’t roleplayed in a long time. I eventually got really into it, meeting a lot of friends on the server. Soon, I delve into discord roleplays, which I also really enjoyed. This was about four months ago, and I have been doing both discord rps and SchoolRP ever since, and have been loving every bit of it.
Describe the ranking system of teachers:
- HD:
HD is the (Head of Department). The Head of Department is responsible for being in charge of NQTS and watching them teach whenever they want. An HD is a role that is hard-earned by a very good and respected teacher. The HD is also in charge of all teachers that teach the same subject as them.
- QTLS:
QTLS stands for (Qualified Teaching and Learning Skills). This is the second rank you get after mastering the NQT rank, this rank shows that you’ve proven you’re suitable enough to be an official teacher.
- NQT:
NQT is an acronym for (Newly Qualified Teacher). An NQT is a teacher that has been recently hired, in a way, they’re on trial. A new teacher is expected to do good and prove themselves worthy enough to become an official Qualified Teacher.
Teacher Knowledge
Present to us your knowledge about Teachers in-game and out-of-game, what purpose do teachers serve. What salary do they get? Include a paragraph about the way teachers teach, what they do in their spare time in general.
Teachers, both in-game and out-of-game, serve the purpose to not only teach but to learn. Teachers have more knowledge than the students, as they have both lived longer and studied longer. This, however, does not mean that they know everything. Teachers learn every day, discovering new things as they teach. Teachers all teach in different ways. Some like to teach verbally, some physically and some a weird mixture of both. At school, teachers do their job, teaching, obeying, disciplining, all the normal things for a teacher to do at their job. However, teachers may have completely different private lives, hidden away from most, though, they still have to mark exams and homework at home if they don't get it done in their spare time at school.
The average salary for a high school teacher in Japan is ¥3,857,928, though this is highly dependant on the quality of the school, the subject they teach and the quality of the teaching.

Why are teachers important to a SchoolRP server?:
The most usual answer to the question "Why are teachers important to a school" is that without teachers, there would be no teaching, and no teaching means no school. However, Teachers also do a lot more than teaching schoolwork. Teachers help keep the school in balance, and without them, it would be chaos. Teachers also serve as a role model for many students who aspire to be like them, giving them something to work towards. Students not only need teachers to teach them school work, but also morals and the rules. The teachers enforce rules on students so that they not only get shown discipline but also learn from their mistakes.
What lesson planning system does the school work on?:
Must Have, Could Have, Would Have.
Character Knowledge
Tell us everything you know about the character you will be playing in a few paragraphs. How does he look like? What makes him unique and different? What is his outlook on Students? What about the other teachers? What is his personality like? What is his plan for the future?
Ikaia is a very outgoing person who loves to talk to people, and a lot of the time gets into conversations he probably shouldn’t get into. He will go out of his way to ask if someone is having a good day or not, but sometimes he talks to the wrong person. He has gotten into many bad situations and has gotten decently good as fighting. He is also very athletic, his body is rigid and he’d have a six-pack, though it wouldn’t be easy to see when he was wearing a shirt. His hair is soft and wavy, and would be taupe (a greyish brown). His eyes would be bright and caring, giving a warming feeling if he were to look at you. Ikaia would smell like the ocean, with a hint of coconut and mangoes. There would be a pineapple tattoo on his back, in the shoulder region. Ikaia speaks Hawaiian, which he uses to communicate with his family. He wants students to thrive in his subject; giving help whenever he can and encouraging them to do their best at their work. Ikaia can manipulate his teaching to suit a student’s needs. For example, if a student was a physical type learner, he would be able to teach them by showing demonstrations and pictures. If a student was a verbal type learner, he would teach them using words and books. Ikaia is very easy to communicate with, and that is shown with how he collaborates with his colleagues. He is easy to ask for help and will give it willingly, always helping anyone in need. He loves being helpful to those he considers friends. Ikaia wants to stay as a teacher for the rest of his life, as he loves to share the knowledge that he has gained over the years, and wants to pass it on to his pupils.
Scenarios
You find a gang of delinquents in the hallway cursing and swearing, what do you do?:
Ikaia would approach them, knowing himself that he also went through this stage of life and would calmly tell them to refrain from using that language on school grounds. If they continued, he'd issue them a detention without hesitation.
No one in your class is listening to a word you say, what do you do?:
Ikaia would stand up, clapping a few times loudly to gain their attention. He would then thank the class for finally listening to him, and would get back to his teaching.
When in the teacher's lounge, how does your character act?:
He's a very outgoing person and loves to socialize. When he gets to his work, however, it's quite hard to stop him. He will use his time and get his work done before anything else, so he can do what he wants afterwards, which is usually relaxing or talking to colleagues.
Provide at least 5 detailed /me's of your character inside a classroom:
/me Ikaia would wait for the class to settle down before he started the class. It slightly irritated him that he wasn't in control of the class, but he could deal with it.
/me He would walk over to the kid trying to pick fights with the weaker kid, and would politely ask him to stop. As he continued, Ikaia would give the kid detention for bullying in his classroom.
/me Ikaia would be getting impatient for the class to calm down, clapping his hands once to get their attention. He would go back to teaching his subject.
/me He would start to hand out the tasks, smiling gently to each and every student, giving them a warm and caring gaze.
/me Ikaia would walk over to a student that seemed to be struggling with his work. He would give the student some help, making sure that the student could engage in learning to his full extent.
Backstory
Ikaia grew up in Honolulu, Hawaii with his grandmother, and his sisters, Honey and Midnight. He also lived with his cousin, Remi. Ikaia and Honey were born into the Ka’uhane family, while Midnight and Remi were adopted by his grandmother. His grandmother never speaks of his parents, so he assumes that they did something to betray the family. Honey was a great little sister to him. She taught him how to surf and some songs that stuck with him, one being ‘Over The Rainbow’ by Israel Kamakawiwoʻole. As a native Hawaiian, he learned most of their traditions, like Samoan Ailao, traditional songs, surfing, and of course Hawaiian. His grandmother Alani taught him Hawaiian, along with various other family members and he learned very fast how to speak his native language. Ikaia moved with some of his family to Japan when he was in his last year of high school. In Japan, he met many amazing people, attending ‘Karakura High’, falling in love, and much more. He loved it there and never wanted to leave, though back in Hawaii, his grandmother was now very ill, and needed some assistance. He would have gone, as he loved his grandmother very much, but his sister Honey decided that he should get a good education, and she would go help her. He thought about them every day, longing to see his grandmother again. Once he graduated from high school, he continued his education alongside his friend that he had met in high school. Ikaia pursued his degree in Literature and minoring in Tertiary Education, doing the same degree as his girlfriend, Jin. He struggled greatly through college, but his peers helped him, pushing him towards the goal. He barely sc****d past, passing narrowly, but he was happy. Ikaia and Jin, his girlfriend that he had been with through college, both got accepted into Karakura as English teachers. That night, they both celebrated with their friends, hoping for a happy life ahead of them.
