TLV - Graduations & Demotions
Inmate graduation is a vital aspect of the game, and occasionally, warden demotion crops up in play as well. If you're planning to graduate your inmate or demote your warden in the near future, please fill out this short form!
Graduations and demotions are character decisions made at player discretion, but in the rare situation that we find ourselves concerned that a graduation or demotion is premise-breaking, the player will be contacted privately. Once we've read through a comment and confirmed that it doesn't contain anything premise-breaking, we'll reply with a confirmation.
Once a graduation comment has been confirmed, the warden of the graduating inmate should reply to their inmate's comment either confirming that their character will be fulfilling the deal laid out in their application, or - in situations where they changed their mind about their deal during their time in-game - receive a verdict about whether the new deal idea is doable.

Character Name: Henry
Path to Graduation: Henry started out rocky. He was given his full powers on the Brig almost as soon as he arrived and he went wild with them. He was angry to be brought back aboard and caused a scene at dinner. His pairing with Trixie didn’t go well, but she managed to get him under some sort of control, limiting his powers and enforcing mandatory socialization. She began to treat him like a person, rather than a monster, bringing him sweets and treats and things that he was never able to have after the age of 12. She showed him a bit of a normal life, and gave him something to look forward to. He learned new skills along the way, like how to make drinks and act like a more or less “normal” 30 year old person. He was in Billy’s head and tormented him a while, but he was starting to learn about forming attachments and what that meant. When Billy left, he found that he was actually very sad about it.
He made some actual friends later. He used his powers to help one of those friends, which was a new thing for him. But it wasn’t until after his monster mash that his progress accelerated. He hurt people, people that he actually cared about - Steve. Then Steve and Eddie left, and Henry was devastated. But instead of getting angry about it, he let himself be sad. He realized that he was the reason that Eddie died and he basically just hurt his own feelings. Florian’s retaliation against him forced him to reach out for help and he was surprised when people answered. The breach gave him brothers and he realized that he could care for them, too, even if they were still strangers. He began to apologize in earnest to everyone, regardless of what they could do for him. Additionally, Trixie gave him his powers back in full and he was able to talk with Emet Selch and Jon about how keeping those powers would affect him and how he had to work every day in making the right choice. And he’s been tempted but has not acted on those temptations at all to harm another person. He deeply regrets harming the Barge and her inhabitants and he's realized that it wasn't just breach feelings that made him feel that way.
