TLV - Graduations & Demotions

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.

GRADUATION

<b>Player Name</b>: <b>Character Name</b>: <b>Path to Graduation</b>: How have they changed while aboard the Barge, and what helped cause this change? What were their key milestones? What have they come to regret about their past, and what are they going to do differently now going forward? If they're going to be staying on as a warden, what do they have to offer an inmate? We're not looking for more than a paragraph or two of basic overview here, but if you'd like to TL;DR at us, feel free!

DEMOTION

<b>Player Name</b>: <b>Character Name</b>: <b>Path to Demotion</b>: What actions or choice(s) are causing their demotion, and how did they get to this point? What makes them no longer suited for wardenhood, and what issues will they need to work on as an inmate? We're not looking for more than a paragraph or two of basic overview here, but if you'd like to TL;DR at us, feel free!

Player Name: Kota
Character Name: John Seed
Path to Graduation: John isn’t suddenly a good person now and he isn’t perfect, but he is a man who can set his own morals. He knows how to make his own family and fill it with people who are better influences. He worked to keep his Wrath under control and, while it still plagues him, he knows how to make his own choices that don’t lead to violence. He understands consent and though he can never atone for what he did or how he hurt people, he does regret the lengths he went to. He recognizes the influence his brother has had on him and does not want to repeat that mistake for anything in the world. He knows that he can’t hurt other people and that it doesn’t fill any sort of void for him. He’s still a broken man, but graduation for John is simply the beginning of the healing he can do on his own.

Over the course of the year, Iris taught him that people could actually care about him. That caring for him can be something that isn't terrifying or manipulative but genuine, which means that his own feelings on people could be genuine. He will always struggle with not putting on that mask as a defensive measure, but he learned it's possible to be real. He struggled with his faith, but Warren and Kyoko (and to some extend Kirei) helped him reignite his passion in a good way and challenge the teachings he had been given. He was given direction and purpose and will be using that to drive the rest of his life.

Unscreened! Please have John's warden comment here to finalize what her deal will be.

Iris has no particular plans for this one and will hold it in reserve if that's okay

Update: Iris' deal for this one is for a space/time/dimension travelling narrowboat for Jon Sims. It should be modelled on a London waterbus because London Transport themes run in the family.
