Why are Teachers so important to SchoolRP?:
Teachers play a crucial role in school roleplay (SRP) for many reasons. They add depth to the experience; although this is a “School RP,” each teacher brings their unique qualities, enriching the world of Karakura. Their classes provide valuable information, offering opportunities to learn new things—whether it's a topic we may not have known about before or something we're currently trying to master. Teachers are the backbone of this server. They serve as role models and authority figures while also adding a fun, lighthearted element to the environment. Their contributions significantly impact the overall server by infusing life into the roleplay, as school is a recurring setting. Additionally, engaging in a roleplay that is quick yet detailed is essential for the server's success. Being a teacher allows individuals to develop their characters through roleplay, which can sometimes be challenging. For new players, teachers are often the first point of contact, making them vital for assistance, guidance, and empowerment within the community.

In-Character Section

What's your character's full name?: Miran Junsuina
What is your character's nationality?: Japanese
What is your preferred subject to teach?: Art

Describe your character:
Miran Junsuina, 37 years of age, stands tall at 6'2", exuding confidence that causes him to hold his chin high. His dark brown hair is fluffy, complemented by a neatly shaved yet noticeable beard along his jawline. His eyebrows are well kept, though they bear a remnant of a slit from his teenage years that never fully grew in. Miran's eyes are softer, full of understanding, yet they also convey authority. He is a man of his word, and that integrity is reflected in the warmth of his chocolate-brown eyes. His overall facial complexion radiates warmth, suggesting a life rich with experiences and stories. Yet, there’s still a sparkle in his eyes that hints at a passion for design. Physically, he has a strong build; he is healthy and leans toward the slimmer side, clearly having dedicated time and effort to working out and maintaining a balanced diet. His skin has a light, tanned hue, adorned with easily concealable tattoos on his right shoulder and left ankle. These tattoos are flowers, each holding deep personal significance for him. Miran believes that flowers symbolize the essence of life—they are elegant and colorful, yet they must bloom and eventually fade. He does not bear any visible scars, which adds to the beauty of his well-nourished skin. Miran takes pride in his appearance; after all, he is a bright, put-together man who aspires to inspire others.

What is your character's outlook on students and co-workers?:
Miran views students both equally and uniquely, recognizing that each one has their own struggles, successes, and passions. This individuality is what makes them special. Art serves as a means for students to express themselves, whether through visual arts, music, performance, ceramics, or graphic design. Miran understands the weight that students carry; he has experienced it himself. While students may sometimes act out, he believes there is no place for violence. Instead, he emphasizes discipline rooted in understanding and teaching, never resorting to harm. Miran aims to inspire the students he works with, celebrating their successes, no matter how big or small. He believes that struggles— including failures—often teach us more than successes do. While negativity may arise, he encourages finding the positives in every situation. He strives to be a friendly face for all students, even those he does not teach. His studio is a welcoming space for creative minds to express themselves through art. The smile he radiates is infectious, fostering a caring environment for everyone.
Co-workers: Miran's colleagues are always helpful resources. He strives to brighten their day and assist them just as he does with the students. In his own way, he acts as a mentor while also being open to learning. He is a true team player and expresses deep appreciation for the staff. They are respectable individuals who trust and support one another as equals. Miran socializes with his peers but maintains a professional atmosphere. He is not afraid to ask questions or provide answers, viewing his coworkers as a small community within the school.

What is your character's motivation for teaching?:
Art has always been a way for Miran to relax and express himself. Throughout his life, he has experienced both ups and downs, but art has remained a constant presence. From doodling in class to sparking change through his work, Miran has always found solace in creativity. His high school teachers were incredibly supportive, and their encouragement helped propel him forward.As Miran reflects on his educational journey and the individuals who have significantly impacted his life, he feels inspired to provide the same support to others. Despite the challenges he has faced, art has served as a means for him to relax, express himself, and find unity. He believes that art can make a difference, reflect someone’s past, help overcome adversity, and simply brighten someone’s day.As a teacher, Miran aims to help students create art using a diverse range of mediums, allowing them to express their voices. He views art as a powerful medium that, when it engages one of our five senses, influences how we feel and encourages action. This teaching position will enable him to provide others with the experiences and tools needed to express themselves and make an impact on those around them.

Roleplay Scenarios

A student in class is struggling to understand the content, what would your character do?:
In the realm of art, a lack of understanding often leads to frustration and the abandonment of ideas. This is a common struggle for many, including artists themselves. Artistic block can be particularly challenging. To address this issue, Miran encourages students to view their challenges from different perspectives. Exploring various viewpoints or jotting down ideas can be helpful. Miran has several exercises to combat creative block. These activities include listening to music, writing down favorite things like colors, sports, or foods, and even walking around the classroom if they're in a studio setting. If the situation feels overwhelming, students can also engage in free drawing. Other challenges may arise, such as difficulties with specific materials. When the class begins, Miran offers one-on-one meetings to go over demonstrations for those who need extra help. He is committed to doing everything he can to support students and help them succeed.

A student is continuously being disruptive in class, talking out of turn, and making jokes with classmates. What would your character do?:
Miran does not tolerate disruptive behavior in the classroom. If a typically well-behaved student misbehaves once, Miran will try to understand what might be motivating that behavior by pulling them aside for a discussion. However, if a student is consistently causing chaos, Miran prioritizes the well-being of the other students. In such cases, he will remove the disruptive student from the area. This student may need to report to the office or be placed aside without access to materials. Miran addresses various levels of misbehavior differently. While he can manage minor issues like not listening—understanding it may simply result in lost project time—more severe actions such as throwing clay or painting on others’ artwork warrant immediate removal from the class. In these situations, Miran will clean up any mess created by the disruptive behavior himself.

Provide at least 2 interactive class ideas related to your preferred subject:
1 - Elements of design - Students will be given a piece of paper split into 6 boxes, each labeled with an element of design, Line, Space, Shape/Form, Color, Texture, and Value. This is a simple exercise that will help warm up the students on the different elements!
1.5 - Principles of Design - on the contrary, if students complete this relatively quickly, they can do a challenge! The principles. Often they get confused, Miran will hand this out and then give a lesson quickly before starting a big project. Principles of design include Balance, Unity, Variety, Emphasis, contracts, and repetition/rhythm .
2 - Portraits - Students will be tasked with drawing a portrait… of the teacher!! Self-portraits are fun and all, but some students may be uncomfortable drawing themselves or other people- so why not the teacher? This is really fun as Miran highlights the usage of either pens, pencils, or markers, as well as greatly encourages students to tap into different art styles. Realism is not what the aim is here, maybe surrealism, cubism?
3 - Historical Redo - Take any historical art pieces, the Mona Lisa, The Statue of Nike, Scream, Egg on a Plate but Without the Plate, and change it by 80%! What does this mean? Well, in the art realm, to use a real visual reference in one’s artwork, one has to change it by 80%! This can mean drawing a mustache on the Mona Lisa but then also painting her so that she was on a Roller Coaster Inteasd! It's a fun creative exercise.
