Describe your activity and roleplay experience on the server:

As I progress through my years of high school, I find that pleasantly enough, more and more time seems to be falling into my hands for SchoolRP. On typical weekdays, I’m almost always online for at least two to three hours, unless I have a schedule conflict with a school club activity or debate tournament!

My introduction to SchoolRP was around early July of 2024, and since then, I’ve taken part in many different roleplay categories. Notably, FamilyRP and GangRP.

For FamilyRP, I have been an active member of the Domen family for about four months (in the Tanaka Branch) now, as well as the first son of the von Gunda family (I roleplay as the son of Freya von Gunda). Through FamilyRP, I’ve made a multitude of friends who I owe everything to on this server. People like Venny_Nachos, AyyTeeEmm, and many more along my journey have made my experience more impactful than I could ever ask for. Because through my countless hours of DetailRPing, event planning, and photoshoots, I’ve come to realize that often more than not, it’s not about who you see most often online, but about who truly understands you.

Because connection is not measured by presence, but by how well one understands you.

In terms of GangRP, I’ve been involved in many different groups, such as Kagetsu, Corvus, Zanten, and, as of right now, The Mandate. I’ve even taken the initiative in my earlier days by becoming a Gang Lead with a friend of mine in March of 2025, leading a gang known as Ryohebi (Which was later rebranded to Datenkai) to help players just getting into the CrimeRP/GangRP scene.

With much experience under my belt, I’ve strived to become a respectable GangRPer that people can feel encouraged to ask for help from. My primary goal is to be an example to others, especially newer players, with my extensive experience in the faction, by inspiring the community and giving back. This isn’t limited to GangRP, though, with enough experience and accumulated knowledge, I feel I can make a difference for even more people across multiple factions.

Additional Note: My schedule is bound to change as I enter my junior year of high school (Where I expect to have even more time available because I will be taking mostly easier classes as I stacked all of my difficult junior year AP classes into my sophomore year)


In your own words, why do you think professors are important to SchoolRP?

Much of my reverence for professors comes from my deep involvement and affiliation with university work and volunteerism. Professors are the very backbone of higher education in society; the effort put into every lecture is beyond what the average human is capable of. Every Professor’s CV tells a different story of major, but their ability to both articulate and engage a wide variety of audiences, spanning from undergraduates and postdocs, all the way down to high school and junior high students, is a unanimously shared trait across all fields. And is what truly separates a professor from a mediocre tutor.

They provide insight into subjects that no other role can match in terms of depth and mastery. Professors spend many weeks and months writing presentations, initiating research, writing government grants, and drafting work for reputable publishing editors. They clarify, cut through, and capture the very essence of what it means to be both an educator and a pioneer of their craft.

As a high school student, I've had firsthand experience working with associate professors and instructors through my countless hours spent volunteering for enrichment programs with professors from a university. Additionally, I’ve had the pleasure of working on hands-on mathematical research with professors, particularly in discrete mathematics and graph theory.

Being the son of two professors myself, I’ve come to realize the importance of empowerment & in how professors are the very forefront of pedagogy.

And that very much is also true for a server like SchoolRP. To not note the extreme importance of professors on this server would be remiss of anyone to not take into account. As the very name of the server suggests, school roleplay makes up a huge part of SRP, accounting for the majority of all gametime spent playing on this server.

Similar to a lecture hall or classroom in the real world, players log in and out every day, expecting a class to be hosted, an activity to partake in, and a unique and creative experience. Every. Single. Time. That is why I firmly believe that all educators, including professors on SRP, have a duty to uphold, which is to maintain an entertaining and immersive classroom environment, whether that is through society or in an RP server. Without them, could education in the real world be as effectively implemented and timeless as it currently is? And could this place we all RP on be truly called “School Roleplay”?

With that being said, my understanding of the role of professors in real life has heavily influenced my perception of professors on SRP. I believe it is the duty of all professors, in SRP or real life, to follow the code of the four E’s of content. Which concludes that the goal of any instructional learning should be to engage, entertain, educate, and most importantly, empower.

Do you acknowledge that if you are inactive, you may face demotion or removal from the faction?

I do acknowledge!

In-Character Information
Thanks for reading all the way to here!

A quite dimly lit SLT office can be seen as Seohyun enters the scene, ready for his interview!

A cheerful Seohyun would be seated as he proceeded to initiate the interview headon!
Seohyun:
"Good afternoon! I hope I haven’t kept you waiting for too long."

Interviewer: "Hello! And no worries, I just finished up the last person! May I get your name for the record?"

Seohyun: "Right, of course, my name is Seohyun Heo Andrada-Domen."

Scribbing could be heard as the interviewer jotted down his name. . .
Interviewer: "Noted, you've got uh, quite the long name there! And your age?"

The man would chuckle at the light-hearted comment as he replied. . .
Seohyun:
"I am currently twenty-nine years old, almost in my thirties!"

Interviewer: "As you may already know, Karakura is a town full of diversity, ranging from natives, Europeans, and people all the way from the Americas. I'm curious, what is your nationality?"

Seohyun: "I'm glad you asked, I'm Korean. Well, actually, a mix. My father is Korean, and my Mother is Spanish. You can call me a Korean-Spaniard!"

Interviewer: "Wow! Korean, very cool. I remember my time in Hongdae, a fun place- Anyways! Excuse me for going off topic there, but what is your preferred subject and could you maybe tell me what university you went to?"

Adjusted his collar, a clear indication he did not mind at all. . .
Seohyun: "That is fine! I've spent my fair share of time in Hongdae, too. I studied Economics & Education at Korea University, both of which I have a bachelor's degree in. As for my preferred subject, I would like to teach Economics. Specifically: Labor Economics and finance!"


The interviewer readily nodded as they began to wrap up their conversation. . .
Interviewer: "Awesome subject choice of study! Thank you again for coming out to interview with us. We’ll give you a call in no time!"

The man would allow a small smile to form on his face as he replied. . .
Seohyun:
“Perfect, thank you, I’ll be expecting a reply. Very soon.”

Seohyun would smile to himself as he slipped his resume into the deposit box next to the interviewer!

1772859974263.png

Cadence:

Seohyun H. Andrada-Domen, a man of humble origin. He stood at a tall 6’5” with a solid build that complemented his formal attire, consisting of a nicely done black tie and chino pants.
1772859974281.png
He’s often found in public, typically in a suit, while wearing a simple watch; on other days, he can be seen in plain casual shirts and other accessories. Jewelry is a nonessential for him, and he prefers quiet earth-tone colors for clothes. His quiet aesthetic is a non-verbal addition to his often serene yet commanding inflection.

Seohyun has a very recognizable burn that covers half of his body, including his face. Despite his one half of smooth features and dark details, the other half of him is charred from a 1772859974298.pngmajor fire accident he suffered in his early high school years.

People can be intimidated sometimes by his piercing gaze and almost uncanny appearance; however, he’s a very polite man who strives to help anyone in need, regardless of what they perceive in him from his initial introduction. His bright smile is a signature look that many can remember, as his intent is displayed through the actions he undertakes to promote positivity and further growth.

What makes Seohyun unique compared to others is his tale of duality. Seohyun is an optimist. He’s not someone who came from a prominent family, or even an ordinary childhood at that. His story has been marked by a constant cold gust of misfortune and adversity. He’s had to face tough choices with unbearable consequences, let go of people he held dearly, and yet he perseveres through it all, whether through means outside of the ordinary or conventional thinking.

Wherever he goes, he is sure to encourage positive growth and corrective feedback across every domain he steps into, and the classroom is an environment of no exception to his philosophy. It is difficult to imagine the responsibility he feels and carries on in nurturing the next generation, ensuring that there is no one else who has to be an unfortunate repeat of the life he grew up in.

In all things said and done, Seohyun is an optimist who will always search for the good, even in the worst of situations. He prides himself on that fact and diligently works towards upholding that principle.

Past Influences, Future Directions

Seohyun’s plans for the future are to continue working in an environment where he can encourage greater growth and development among young people. As well as improving his ability to articulate speeches and to work on other areas for improvement that he sees fit.

Outside of the classroom, he intends to build stronger relationships with not only his
coworkers but also his peers. But as well as his family, to maybe one day raise a child of his own, whom he can educate to lead a life of happiness and joy. Something that he unfortunately found much later on rather than sooner in his lifespan. His primary objective in his public life is to continue working as an honest member of society who can be a stand-up example of what the youth can become if they put their mind to it.

Perspective on Students and Colleagues

Seohyun believes in a merit-based environment with positivity, completely devoid of heritage or legacy. As a child born into a destitute environment, he understands most well the difficulties that the impoverished face as well as the immense effort they sacrifice to make ends meet. Having lost both his parents at a young age to financial issues that plagued the family, he understands the vices of poverty and how debilitating it can be on a student’s education.

That said, this does not mean he shows favoritism toward any specific group; rather, he can better empathize with others who may have issues beyond their control. In his eyes, the only metrics a student should be graded upon are their ability to produce results and utilize feedback from their peers. As well as their degree of passion for what they are most interested in!

He understands the importance of a professor more than anyone else; in his eyes, if a doctor can save the life of a patient by performing heart surgery. Then a professor can open the heart of a budding student and allow them to sprout and release their branches of curiosity. And help them find not only the career they wish to pursue, but the version of themselves in whom they want to become for the future.

As for his co-workers and associates, he holds extremely rigid standards for both himself and others working with him. Having already worked in multiple capricious environments requiring much rhetorical ability and EQ (researching and mentorship in college), he believes that while communication and cooperation are essential, personal effort and self-competence should be a given for the people affiliated with him.

More importantly, as an extroverted person, he does not believe in waiting for the right time to speak to someone. Rather, he would instead be the first to strike up a conversation, offer a helping hand, or engage in an intellectual debate. He believes that emotions are like shops; they won’t always be open 24/7, and when they are offered, they are to be taken with haste and understanding! Because of his outgoing personality and cheery face, everyone can tolerate him. Seohyun is often able to branch out his social circles and establish more meaningful relationships sooner than others may.

Combined with both his friendly demeanor and initiative, Seohyun believes that positive reinforcement and a genuine desire for growth can create both a great student and an impeccable educator.

What is their motivation for becoming a professor?:

Seohyun’s motivations for becoming a professor are intimately personal; his desire to teach economics stems from his own college experience and upbringing as a child. Where he had to always calculate how much Korean won he spent, how many meals he could eat every day, and how much would be left over after rent and tuition.

In his high school years, he was barely scraping by, finding ways to make money to keep himself afloat while studying. Whether it would be through doing small favors for other students, staying after school to help teachers with some tasks, or working small delivery gigs here and there.

By the time he was a college student at Korea University, on top of his already heavy course load from his double enrollment in both economics and education, he was juggling a student tutoring and researching job for the university. With college tuition being extremely expensive for the young Seo, he remained positive and racked his brain for creative and ingenious ways to save money at all costs!

He took almost extreme attentiveness to money and finances because of his hardship situation. Bills for the dorm and textbooks were due? No worries! He would take out a simple interest student loan, rather than the compounded interest grants given by the college. Need to figure out how to purchase a vehicle for travel? Get a second friend to help you finance the car and the down payment! Using the college meal card they received every semester, he was sure to stock up on food every week, keeping them preserved in his mini fridge at the dorm, while also stuffing extra snacks in his pockets for late-night study sessions. At times, he would be kicked out of his dorm for being unable to pay the tuition; despite this, he would take refuge by crashing in the college library!

In the end, Seohyun’s efforts would not go to waste; his stingy spending habits and smart financial planning would allow him to get through college, successfully graduating with a bachelor's in both education and economics. When Seo tells people his story, he often receives mixed views; some people think he went over the top with his frugal routine. Others went as far as to say he had money dysmorphia! However, there are a few who can also appreciate his means of sustenance throughout his college years.

Through his time at Korea University, Seohyun gained a deeper appreciation for the little he had and the rare opportunities he could seize. He intends to bring his years of hardship to the classroom, not as a story of extreme hardship or trauma, but as a practical lesson on economics to his students in a lecture. Showing his students that even in the toughest of financial situations, positivity can be maintained through frugality and a clear, logical thought process.



Roleplay Scenarios

1772859974318.jpeg

A jock is ignoring your lesson and throwing paper balls at another student, what would your character do?

As an optimistic economist who values efficiency, meaning no distractions, Seohyun would gently approach the student with a wide smile as he placed a hand on the wooden desk of the jock. With a kind and commanding demeanor, he would politely ask the student to stop at once, reminding them of not only the price of paper but the devaluation they’re causing to the learning of their peers.

After the first offense, Seohyun would continue to teach the class with a more watchful eye to make sure others do not follow in suit of the jock’s behavior.

If persistence continued, however, especially after a third warning, he would then proceed to write a detention slip for the student, reasoning that it would be the most optimal way for them to not only learn their lesson. But also set an example for others who intend to learn in Seohyun’s class!

A student doesn’t seem to understand the material, yet hasn’t requested help, what would your character do?

If his bright, cheery smile wasn’t already a sign that he was open to conversing and assistance requests to start the day. Seohyun also makes it clear to his students verbally that his class is always open to discussion and questions if needed. However, in the corner of his eye, if he manages to spot a student who appears tense or uneasy while reviewing the class material, he’ll spring into action!

Slowly, to not draw the attention of the other students during class time, he would quietly walk over to the individual and gently usher them into a conversation with him. Rather than asking whether they were having trouble with the material or topic, he would first inquire about their mood, how they felt about their day-to-day, and other questions.

Understanding a student’s psyche is important to Seohyun, as it would allow him to better assess how he should approach the student based on the course material. Moving on, he would then confirm whether the student wanted help or not. If the student insists on tackling the issue alone, Seohyun will gladly allow them to do so. However, if they agree to his extension for help, he’ll more than happily guide them through whatever it is they may have trouble with.

Through this systematic approach with thoughtful attentiveness, Seohyun can accurately determine how to help a student most effectively while still maintaining both a positive and insightful outlook of the situation!

When in the faculty lounge, how does your character act?

Whilst others may use the faculty lounge to relax or to keep to themselves, or occasionally attend SLT meetings. Seohyun, however, would find the place to be a perfect spot to start conversations to form new connections and bonds with his colleagues.

Utilizing his extroverted personality and outgoing demeanor, he would quickly start small talk with others, turning casual exchanges over coffee into meaningful professional relationships. To him, the faculty lounge is not just a space for comfort or downtime; rather, it's an area for communication among educators and also serves as a provider of opportunities on how he can become an even better instructor during his lectures.

Rather than staying quiet and keeping interactions with others to a minimum, Seohyun would see the faculty lounge as a chance to get to know others, discuss ideas, and perhaps discover new, innovative approaches to teaching his students!

Provide at least 2 interactive class ideas and one field trip idea related to your subject
  1. Law of Supply, Lemonade Selling Competiton! This class would be both a lesson and a friendly class competition between students in the class. At the start of class, I would discuss the topic of subject, law of supply, and explain some intricacies in how we utilize this concept in a real-world setting.​

After, we would run through some trivia questions on what I taught in the class period. I would then ask the students who would wish to participate as producers in our class activity, either by volunteer or random decision. Once three producers have been chosen, the rest of the class will be consumers. Producers will start with 10 dollars each round.
Every round will have a new economic disadvantage for the producers to tackle. Such as reduced lemon fruit yield, which leads to less supply and thus higher lemon prices and higher production costs, or increased supply of lemons, which would lead to lower lemon prices, etc.

The goal of the producers is to optimally price their lemonade and attract the most customers whilst still making a profit. The competition is scored in a point system. Producers earn one point in a round if they have the most customers lined up. Producers can also earn an additional bonus point if they make the most amount of profit from their plan each round.

I will be keeping tally of the points and giving advice after each round on how they should have approached each new economic issue. The premise of this activity is to teach students how the law of supply can affect consumer choices and influence how people respond to changing prices, economic factors, and availability!


2. Opportunity Cost: The Economics of Tradeoffs! This lesson would be an open-ended discussion activity on opportunity cost, and how it plays an effect in our academic and financial decision-making. I would first start the class off with a simple lecture, detailing important concepts in opportunity cost and asking the students to provide examples of when they made tradeoffs in favor of something else. After the lesson, I would start the class activity! The students will be asked specific opportunity cost questions.

For example, I could ask whether they would join the workforce or pursue a higher education. Questions like these will make students choose whether to stand on their at their desks for a specified side, or remain seated for another. Those who remained seated chose to pursue a higher education; if others stood, then their decision was to join the workforce. After taking note of how many people chose each side of the question, I would ask a few students if they could elaborate on their decision. What made you choose that side? What were the tradeoffs you considered? Do you think one side might benefit more than the other? If they were unsure of either end of the spectrum, they could simply stand off to the side of the class during the round.

The primary goal of this lesson is for the students to learn more about opportunity costs and tradeoffs, as well as learning how we can implement principles from this subject into our future decision-making!

Field Trip Plan

Field Trip to the Business District! The Business District is filled with a multitude of shops selling a variety of items. A bustling retail environment would present numerous opportunities for students to learn more about how economics plays a role in a real-world setting, rather than just a classroom lecture.

I’d ask everyone to get into groups of at most four, and choose a shop to explore. Once everyone has decided which shop to explore and their group mates. While browsing through the items, students should take note of how factors like the store layout, advertising colors, and shelf placement affect customer behavior and what items they decide to buy.

I’ll be visiting each group, not only to examine their progress as they explore their selected shop, but also to make sure they don’t get lost and stay safe. After the field trip, I’ll ask for some feedback on how they thought everything went, like logistics and the educational value of it. Then, I’ll allot time for some open-ended discussion for students to discuss their findings. All in all, the field trip would be both a mix of entertainment and practical learning in economics!
