HELLO THERE INTERNET FRIEND, and welcome to the URPG Mentor and Apprentice Program V. 3005! A noble project implemented by The Jr. Trainer five years ago and then Ataro, the program was designed for those who seek victory. Those with a heart of gold, who sought strength to become better than the best, partnered with the legends of their time. These legends graciously passed on their knowledge, their skills, and their quirky Rick-Rollin' links to their underdogs, who absorbed their talent to rapidly become the best. The Mentor System was closed at a point for the sheer awesomeness it brought on: the talented newcomers threatened to break PE2K with the intensity of their newfound skill and strength.
BUT THEN.
Darkness descended over the joyous land of the URPG. The new superheroes now need all the help they can garner to fight off the impending crises of the South. By passing on their skill to you, you too can become more SUPER than you already are!
Join the Mentor and Apprentice Program V. 3005 today, and SAVE THE URPG!
First Program started by The Jr. Trainer
Second Program started by Ataro
Third Program started by Alaska
Fourth Program started by WTP
Rules & Goals
Being a Superhero mentor is more about the fancy underwear, the HKim cameos, and the free churros. While those are all great, your spirit and passion to teach another is what we're really looking for here. Consider the following rules, and ask yourself if you're ready to don the cape and take another under your Wing.
- Be Active: Nothing is worse for an uprising superhero than to be left in the dark by their hero. Just don't do it; don't break the hearts of the youth! If you know you're going to go inactive for a period, please contact one of the updaters of this thread, or request for a different mentor to uptake your apprentice. This goes for apprentices, as well; if you're going to request to join the program, please plan on being active.
- Be Role-Model: As a mentor, strive to be patient, eager to help, informative, and kind! No villains allowed!
- Have an IM: Your AIM or Skype transmitter gadget will allow you to communicate quickly and efficiently with your Apprentice, so you can SAVE THE WORLD together!
