Why are Teachers so important to SchoolRP?:
Teachers are important to SRP for many reasons. The first one being that they serve as authority figures and as the embodiment of learning, they guide students throughout the school day, education is a necessary part of the roleplay experience. Furthermore, teachers speak out on behalf of the higher ups as well as deliver on the orders that they give out to the students, making sure that they follow the guidelines of the school. They make SRP more realistic and are necessary as otherwise there wouldn't be any school within the schoolrp based server. Having a real-life person playing the teacher imitates what a real school would be like. Teachers also provide the essential support to students emotionally and academically, hosting games that can help the students understand what they are learning about. Finally, they are important to the school and to the server because they have the ability to organize events within the school and be part of them, hosting extracurricular activities and allowing the server to be more joyful.

What's your character's full name?: Higuruma Kiramochi
What is your character's nationality?: Japanese
What is your preferred subject to teach?: Performaing Arts (Drama)
Describe your character:
Before you stands Higuruma Kiramochi, the man smells lightly of cedarwood and vanilla, he stands at a height of 5'10 and weighs around 162lbs. He walks with a slight limp and with a cane due to an injury he received earlier in his life. He can often be seen brushing his long dark blue hair out of his green eyes, he dresses casually as well as fancy depending on the day and his mood, in the future he plans to settle down with a nice person and maybe have or adopt some children.
What is your character's outlook on students and co-workers?:
Higuruma takes his job quite seriously but also tries his best to remain calm and lighten the mood. Having a relaxed atmosphere is one of his top priorities, he would strive to provide a good learning experience for his students and also allow them to have fun and collaborate within the classroom. He shows his students respect and expects respect in turn. He looks at his students as individuals with the potential to develop into strong leaders and he offers each of them compassion, understanding, and instruction.
As for coworkers, he exhibits the same attitude towards a relaxed atmosphere with his coworkers as he does with his students. He shows them respect and is always willing to help.
What is your character's motivation for teaching?:
When he was younger, he yearned for the spotlight, but he had a hard time achieving this as he had responsibilities at home. His father left, and his mother was always working, so he had to look after his little brother, he also had to work part time to help pay bills. Performing arts programs reward those who can stay late and show up early. He couldn't do that. So, he became great in class, great at auditions, but he never showed up to rehearsals; all he wanted was to escape. Eventually, his drama teacher noticed, and instead of offering him shame, they offered compassion. They gave him alternative rehearsal blocks, taped notes, condensed coaching sessions, and an agreement that he could step out whenever he needed to without being punished for it. Eventually he started acting, he got injured and he decided to teach, he decided to teach so students with messy lives would get a fair shot.
Roleplay Scenarios
A student in class is struggling to understand the content, what would your character do?:
He would look at the student in an attempt to observe where the break down was. Then he'd break down the content of the material into simpler terms for the class so as to not embarrass the student. If that didn't work, then he'd do a group activity to help the student grasp the content. If the student still didn't seem to understand then he'd finish the lesson, and after class he'd ask the student if he wanted to go over the work together, he'd walk through the content with the student, one on one, using examples that made sense to the student.
A student is continuously being disruptive in class, talking out of turn, and making jokes with classmates. What would your character do?:
At first, he would just glance at the student, his calm and relaxed nature would be put into stark contrast to this silent stare. If that didn't work (it wouldn't) then he'd give the student a task "Great now give me that same energy and deliver us a monologue." If the student refused, then he'd give them one warning and if that didn't work then he would simply remove the student from his class.
Provide at least 2 interactive class ideas related to your preferred subject:
The first interactive class idea would be a fun game in which Higuruma would assign each student a number between 1 and 10; the game would still work with more than 10 people; there'd just be copies of each number. The numbers would match a status level, such as 1 being invisible and 10 being the status of a royal. The students only know THEIR numbers; they don't know any other students' numbers. They'd all walk around the room until eventually Higuruma would point at two students and call for them to freeze and perform a short scene as their numbers, while all the other students attempt to guess what numbers they are.
The point of this game is to train presence, power dynamics, body language, and improvisation.
The second activity would be essentially a game of classic improv. The students would be divided into groups and would be put up on the stage while the rest of the class watches. Higuruma would give the group on stage a prompt to follow, and at any point, a student from the audience may add to the prompt. Higuruma also has the ability to call out "CHANGE!" at any point, forcing the group on stage to change anything they may have said.
The point of this game is to train improv and presence, but also to train teamwork. It's also just a fun game.
