Mentor/Apprentice Program 2.0

Credit to Alaskapigeon​

NOTE TO ALL PAIRS FROM THE PREVIOUS THREAD:
YOU MUST POST HERE TO BE RE-APPROVED, MOSTLY FOR SORTING PURPOSES.


Under new management, DAT BUSINESS. I'm pretty sure our mission here is pretty obvious. TO HAND DOWN OUR PRECIOUS KNOWLEDGE OF POCKET MONSTERS TO THE NEWER GENERATIONS IN HOPES THAT THEY WILL NOT FAIL, BUT INSTEAD RISE UP ABOVE US. Yes, we are creating a Poke-master race, So, I'm just gonna get right down to business here.

The position of Mentor is nothing to be taken too lightly. THE SACRED BOND BETWEEN MENTOR AND APPRENTICE IS ONE THAT IS SACRED. As such, not everybody can become a mentor and ultimately, your fate as one shall be left up to me. This checklist might be handy when deciding to apply.

Have I been a member for a fairly signifacant time, such as, 8+ months?
Do I have some sort of URPG profession that proves that I possess some sort of skill?
Am I an asshole?
(REQUIRED)Do I have AIM or other messaging service(but really only AIM)?
Do I actually wish to interact with another human?

As for becoming an apprentice, there really is no requirement whatsoever, other than a willingness to learn.

After you've taking all of this into consideration, you simply need to fill out a simple form...

Spot you are applying for: (Mentor/Apprentice)
AIM screenname: (insert your screenname)
URPG Professions: (INSERT YOUR WORTHLESS INTERNET ACHEIVEMENTS)
URPG Join Date(Mentors only): (An approximation is fine too)
Skills you wish to teach/learn: (Battling/Writing/RPing)
Other Info: (This space can be used to talk about yourself or argue your case for becoming a mentor)

and if you're simply being re-approved as I mentioned at the top of the post...

Name of Apprentice: (Their name, duh)

Keep in mind, I hold the right to turn down applications of mentors I deem unfit for teaching or apprentices who I believe don't really require help. In addition, if you are skilled enough, I may allow you to take on multiple apprentices if you request it.

Blah blah blah, after you've been approved, look here. The number in parentheses next to each mentor is their current number of apprentices.

Other Info: I've been around for ages, and I feel like having a successful apprentice can help me prove myself further. I think I wouldn't be one of the best, but I could offer some degree of support.

Also, as a general announcement, the "Skills" section in the form would be answered with the category you wish to be placed in, such as Battling or Writing.

Approved.

Re: Mentor/Apprentice Thread REBOOT: If you were previously involved, take a look.

This was a tough choice on my part, but I'm gonna have to put your application on hold for now. You're an excellent battler and definitely a rising star, but as of right now, I think you need a little more time to grow... but just a little =P

I'm a little doubtful of your ability to teach/work with people, so I'm gonna have to put a rain check on this one too.

Other Info: People say I'm good at battling, I've been through the park a ton of times, and for some reason some people seem to think I'm cool, and helpful. Also I was already paired with Morru, though tbh I don't think there is much I can teach him so I can take on another apprentice if needed.

Re: Mentor/Apprentice Thread REBOOT: If you were previously involved, take a look.

Sure, why not. Go find yourself a mentor.

I'll keep you with Morru for now, but if you guys both think its about time to part ways, I don't mind.

Taken care of.

Skills you wish to teach: Writing, RPing
Other Info: I like to help people. While I can grade harshly, it is only because I want to help people improve. If an apprentice wants me, I can help develop their style of story writing, which can have synergy with RPing.

Also, I think that scarletkitsune want to be my apprentice on the last forum, but I guess we'll see what happens here.
