Dirk Strider originally comes from a city background. He went to a high school that had a lot of gangs at the time and was in a pretty bad area. He graduated Highschool in 2008. After seeing how cops would treat people for minor crimes he decided to go to collage for serval years to be a lawyer. However later on he decided that it just wasn’t for him, He then decided to lean on his Fine arts degree more (the one his mother was more supportive of) and deciding to make it a teaching degree. He figured maybe if he could get at the kids while they were still young, he might be able to change their life's that way, before they'd ever need a lawyer.
He see's kids as the future, that they need to be heard and respected just as much as adults. That not every adult is right. That it’s important to learn from your mistakes and to try and correct them. Though kids might do some silly actions most of the time their ideas are really not aimed to hurt others.
He likes to get other teachers views on how to help troubled students. He will most often try to find the root of the issue if a teacher is complaining about a student. Behind every frustrated teacher is an even more frustrated student; who is probably confused and needs more help but doesn't know how to either ask for it or is embarrassed to ask for the extra help needed.
He tries to keep a calm demeanor always having a hint of sarcasm. If he ever speaks in a serious tone, you know it is actually serious. He tries to stay lighthearted and will literally give you the shirt off his back. He just wants to be able to help everyone no matter the circumstance. He's the type of person who if he found out a student wasn't eating, he'd pack an extra lunch just for them to have.
They plan on maybe finding someone to be in a relationship with, but that's not his main goal in life. His main goal in life is to help students, make sure no one is left behind, and honestly just wants to be the sunshine someone might just need that day. A smile for everyone. Though he can be very cringey. "Dabbing on haters" and doing "The T pose on them peeps" as he tries to make jokes with the kids he’ll even make it seem like he doesn't know the jokes or he does them horribly on purpose.
He is 6'3", blond and thin. Outside of school he can often be found in the woods just getting in some nature time. He can also often be found googing over anything with anime and puppets. He has a liking to one of his favorites in particular LiL'Cal. He is a huge nerd though he does try to hide it in school while teaching but it sometimes seeps threw. He tries to act cool, but he really has bad anxiety.
Scenarios
/*Do not mention use of FearRP*/
You find a gang of delinquents in the hallway cursing and swearing, what do you do?:
Go up to them and tell them the school's rules on this behavior. If they continue to do so give them discipline. Start off small like Writing an essay for you, or making them clean your erasers for the chalk board. But if they continue or attempt to get violent give them a detention.
No one in your class is listening to a word you say, what do you do?:
Ask the class to settle down in a stern but polite way. If this does not work, try to get their attention by doing one of those rhythm clapping things.
When in the teacher's lounge, how does your character act?:
He tries to be polite to the other staff, mostly keeps to himself, liking to engage and help the students mostly. He's the type of guy that if he drinks the last of the coffee in the pot, he'll start to brew a new one. At times he will sit at the table in the lounge planning out his lessons for the classes just so he can be able to do it somewhere else other than his desk.
Provide at least 4 detailed /me's of your character inside a classroom:
/me The male would stand at the head of the class, watching the students scramble to their seats before speaking “Welcome class today we will be learning about puppets!” He would smile excited looking toward the class. Puppets are moveable model, animated by the person who controls it using their hands or strings. Puppets usually take the form of a human, mythical figure or an animal. They're used in entertainment, most commonly for storytelling. There are different types of puppets, and they're operated or manipulated in different ways. Can Anyone tell me some different kinds of puppets?
/me Gestures for a few kids to join me on stage, "Today we are doing improv, which is basically just the act of acting something out without prep. So, I want you guys to act out the scenario I give you" walking off the stage I'd take a seat with the rest of the kids. "Alright the scenario is you suspect that your new boss is secretly a vampire, begin.''
/me "Has anyone ever been to the circus? Today we will be learning about circus acts, specifically clowns." I'd take a second to dig threw my bag for a before pulling out 3 juggling pins. "Circus acts are one form of performing arts and can be fun to learn about not just watch. Clowns are a staple of the circus." I'd start juggling the pins smirking as I watch the class. "It takes hand eye coordination but once you get the hang of it" Throwing them abit higher I'd be careful not to hit the ceiling "It becomes quite easy and fun." Turning my attention back to the students I'd swiftly catch the pins and hold them out "Would anyone else like to give it a try?"
/me I'd take a sip from my coffee as I looked over the class, seeing as it was a Monday morning, I'd let the class chat for abit longer. After a few moments I'd stand slamming my hands on my desk waking both myself and the class more. "Now that we are all nice and awake and you guys have had time to talk let's start our lesson with your favorite teacher" laughing I'd smile from ear to ear before walking to the stage to start the class.
Backstory
While in school Dirk had an ok home life. After his father walked out his mom had to work 2 jobs just to fend for him and his little brother. Dirk would often try to protect Dave his younger sibling from the bullying. He almost got pulled into a gang in highschool. Leaning into it a little as a way to make money on the side. But after one of his friends got locked up for 15 years for 4 ounces of coke he was no longer interested. After graduating he went straight to college. He started to practice law and even got a small apprenticeship, while working under the lawyers he saw the niddy giddy of the real law world, it put a very bitter taste in his mouth. The way the lawyer talked to people. How some of the judges were bribed so easily like the whole thing was a joke, as if those peoples life's didnt really matter. He then focused his studies more on the fine arts. Something he did only to please his mother, as she didnt want him to become hard, like his father was before leaving. He was a good art student but really preferred theater. It was his passion. It was the thing that really drove him to do better strive for more. He still wanted to help people so he'd ask his college professor about how he could. The professor would recommend teaching. Well to do that he needed 2 minors that would co inside with it’s why he has physics and english as minors. He decided that through the arts he would try to teach kids lessons. Through plays, music, and the literature he'd base things off of. Dirks real goal is to help others, and kids are more influenced to be good people.
