Out-Of-Character Information
What is your Minecraft username?:
lotusxcharming
Do you have Discord (If so, what is your discord username?):
lotusxcharms#0
How old are you? (Optional):
19
What is your time zone?:
Eastern european summer time (EET)
Describe your activity on the server:
As of right now, I have a tendency to play for approximately 7 hours straight. On weekends I may play for longer. I have lots of free time so if it's needed, I'm willing to up my hours to fill quota for the month.
Have you ever been banned (If yes, when and why?):
No, never.
Do you acknowledge that if you are inactive you will be demoted?:
Of course; the server needs active faculty. I acknowledge and accept this fact fully.
School Employee Role you are applying for?:
Tutor
In as much detail as possible, describe the employee role you are applying for:
Tutors help the students of the school with assignments that they receive from teachers, that they may not fully comprehend themselves. They do not give out answers outright; but they do help you understand the topic at hand without spoon feeding you the solution. They also help students study for their college exams. If I recall, they hand out mock exams with the necessary subjects for this. Tutors do not leave their station under any circumstances aside from helping dissolve a situation, or if they're assisting a teacher or professor host class.
What experience, in general, do you have in roleplay?:
Overall I have about 7+ years of experience with roleplay through storytelling with friends in highschool, playing DnD and eventually joining communities dedicated to roleplay. I've been playing on srp for about over a year now, and I have to say it's the most fun I've had with a roleplay setting in years. Regarding roleplay in the school faculty, from my 3-4 months of experience as a caretaker, I'd say I have a pretty clear idea of how to execute these roleplays as school workers. Although I already know things, I'm eager to learn more as I continue to roleplay and expand my general knowledge of the server and specifically the employee faction.
Why do you want to join the School Employee faction?:
In short, I really loved being in faculty! I love interacting with students and helping them, talking to coworkers, all that. Besides that, I think I'd be a positive asset to the employee faction! I take pride in my love for helping people, and I'm a team player. I also believe that the experience will help me expand my knowledge on the server and school work within altogether.

Situations
During a work-shift a student starts cursing at you for being pathetic, how does your character react?:
William knows better than to give the student a strong reaction, as that's usually what youngins of this age are looking for in confrontation. With a polite reminder to keep their language school appropriate, he does his best to end the situation as fast as possible. If they don't go on for too long with their rant, William will listen and gently tell them to knock it off, as cursing and bothering faculty that are trying to do their job isn't school rule and guideline friendly. Afterward, he'll be on his way without sparing a second thought to the interruption.
You notice two students are physically fighting in the hallway, – multiple punches have been thrown – how does your character react?:
First and foremost, the students are to be separated from each other physically. William puts himself between both parties and reminds them politely; although firmly that fighting of any sort is not tolerated within school hours or grounds. He'll radio into let others know of the situation, if only to keep tab of the fight having gone down. Should he need help, he'll specify that. Then to the problem solving. Why was this fight started? Despite it not mattering much in the big picture, he finds it to be a piece of vital information. He will ask the students to go their separate ways, and give them a stern warning that should this continue, detention may be handed out. If necessary, SLT will be contacted.
Should a student come out injured from the fight, William is more than happy to escort the injured party to the nurse's office for treatment.
Another school employee is clearly acting inappropriately, doing something very dangerous on the job, how does your character react?:
He'll waste no time to pull aside the employee and get to the bottom of such inappropriate behavior. He's not a confrontational person by nature, but some stern talking to may be necessary in these situations. He'll remind his coworker of school policy should it be necessary, as they should know better. He does wish to know why this happened in the first place, though. What could possibly give the employee the idea that this wasn't dangerous or inappropriate? He'll wish to get to the bottom of this, and should he fail he'll ensure another employee, preferably a higher-up is informed.
When in the employee break room, how does your character act?
William tends to stay by himself in the breakroom, sipping on his favourite mug full of black coffee, no sugar. Whilst a sociable and charismatic man, he needs his own quiet time during these rare periods of calm and silence from his own nagging thoughts or a hallway full of loud teenagers. He loves his job; don't get me wrong. But he'd rather not strike up conversation at these times. Of course, if someone were to start talking to him, William would absolutely pay attention to his conversation partner and happily so. He just doesn't like to start said conversations, assuming to himself that his coworkers likely want their own peace and quiet as well. He does greet everyone though, with either a simple nod or a polite hello.
Provide us with at least three detailed /me's of your character whilst on your chosen role:
/me
He sat quietly in the breakroom, invested in one of the novels he was currently reading. He idly doodled some plans for the robotics work he did as a hobby in his spare time when the pages let him divert his attention. Quiet mornings like this were truly to his liking, nothing but him, a nice book and future plans for new projects to set his mind on when his work shift ends. Having arrived at precisely 7:30 when the gates first flung open, he took the time until breakfast ends to engulf himself in his own little world to prep himself mentally and physically for the day ahead. An idle smile rested on his face as he politely greeted the coworker that bid him good morning upon entering the doors, but he quickly turned his attention to the clock resting above the doors. Breakfast was coming to an end, it seems. With a sigh the man stood up, gathered his novel and papers to stuff them into his bag. He finished the coffee, leaving it washed by the sink. He'd return to that bitter, beloved coffee of his during lunch. He exited the doors quietly and headed to his station.
/me
The man leant back in his chair, a moment away from the students as they all hurried to class. Well, most of them anyhow. The skittish student from earlier was still on his mind, helping her with the assignment had proven to be a task in itself given how uncertain she had seemed of her work. He resonated with the sentiment, to his dismay. He did remember a time when he was young, sitting next to a tutor whilst trying to wrap his clouded head around a particularly difficult class assignment. He could only chuckle at the memory; those days were behind him now. He'd hope to see the student succeed, that was the most important feeling to him in this job. It truly brought a smile to his face.
/me
He paced around the tutor room after hours, checking to see if his things were all gathered up. He greeted a passing student as they rushed towards the gates for their journey back home. Perhaps he should do the same... However, one more check in the employee breakroom wouldn't hurt. Thoughts of today's work raced through his mind as he fixed his ponytail, determined steps leading him to the wooden doors of the breakroom, his sanctuary... Aside from his station, naturally. He nearly stumbled as a pair of younger students sped by. He turned his head in their direction, gently calling out. "May I remind you, that there is to be no running in the halls? Even if the school day is over, you're still within school grounds, remember that. You could get hurt, running like that." Their grumbled responses amused him, and he shook his head upon resuming his journey. Will they ever learn? Should they? Oh dear.

[0-18]
William T. Ainsworth grew up in a middle-class household in the late 80's with a mother, father and one younger brother. His mother, Margaret Ainsworth was a school teacher, and William would follow her work from the side with bright eyes and the enthusiasm of a baby carnivore learning to hunt for the first time. He'd always put hours and hours into his studies, hoping to follow in his mother's footsteps. He had big dreams of becoming a teacher someday, or anything of that sort. He truly didn't have a preference! He just knew helping kids in their formative years was his calling. Margaret had encouraged him to consider other lines of work, perhaps as a doctor or a school nurse which he'd considered. He however, had his sights set on education!
[18-42]
William graduated with bachelor's and his grasp on his dreams was stronger than ever. However, after a hiccup with his highschool sweetheart, he found himself homebound with a wife and a child. While he did not mind this initially, going for his dream job seemed selfish now that he had a family to spend time with. He started working in a daycare, as a matter of fact the one his young daughter Lizbeth was now attending. The work experience only made him want to pursue his dream career even more. When Lizbeth eventually started attending school, William found himself at a crossroads. He was getting quite good at handling young children, and the pay wasn't bad, but he felt unsatisfied. Distancing himself from his wife and child, he fell back into a cycle of work, study and more work.
As a final smack to his pride, his wife eventually left with Lizbeth, leaving William with an empty spot to fill and new opportunities at hand. This was his time. He resumed his education deciding that to give time to his hobbies and interests beyond his career, he'd become a tutor. After all, he'd still get to work in the general line of what he'd always wanted, but also have just a tiny more room to breathe. What'd stop him from finding a future in teaching proper someday after?
[43]
So onward, William moved to Karakura, Japan. He'd heard of the opportunities, and as it stands his niece resides in the city as well. A change of scenery would do him good, right? He got an apartment, got himself together, and at the ripe age of 43 applied to work at the school. And that's where we currently stand.

Motivation for Joining KHS:
As it may have become clear already, I have a strong and undying passion for studying. I used to help my friends in school with homework and prepping for tests, so it comes naturally to me. I also took a strong liking to faculty members in my school days, finding it admirable how they managed to make schooltime fun for even the grumpiest of learners despite not having it revolve around socializing and friendly connections alone. I want to be that positive light for students, help them understand their classes and the journey of education ahead of them.
Do you have any previous experience working in a school environment? If so, please elaborate (If not, respond with "N/A"):
N/A
Why should you be accepted over the other applicants?:
I am a patient man, hardworking and reliable. I remain calm under pressure, and I know how to keep myself composed even when facing hardship. Not only that, but I have always enjoyed working with children, young or in their later teens. I believe I have an understanding of some of their academic challenges that they have gone through as I had some myself, and helping them overcome those challenges truly does bring me joy. Helpfulness is one of my strongest traits, and that being paired with my long temper I believe myself to be a strong and reliable asset to faculty in the position of a tutor. I learn fast, and I'm enthusiastic to better myself at any given job or task. I also do not hand out answers on a silver platter, but I'm efficient with opening subjects up for a clearer picture that the student can grasp and therefore solve the problem by themselves. With a little assistance, of course.

Additional notes about your application:
Right off the bat I have to mention that English is a secondary language for me, but I'm decently confident in my writing. I also have a small case of dyslexia, but that mainly affects my writing speed. It hasn't been a large issue thus far.
Do you have any questions?:
