Guardian/Ward Pairings - Path to Redemption
For every Ward, there should be a Guardian. When a newcomer arrives on the ship, they are temporarily assigned if someone is available. Temporary assignments are decided by the mods, but the permanent, long-term pairings are requested by the players (and each player in the pair must agree).
It is the Guardian's duty to guide and even protect their Ward. They are the Ward's first advocate on this ship, so it is their job to establish clear and consistent rules with them as well as keep them informed and safe during ports. In each port, groups may have clear objectives assigned to them. Sometimes, these will directly challenge a Ward in ways they need to grow and change, so their Guardian and the information they can provide is doubly important. To pair your characters up, follow these simple steps:
1. Post requesting a Ward or Guardian in the comments below. Guardian players: Include information on your Guardian's style of leadership and how they tend to teach or guide. Make it clear the sorts of Wards they might work best with and the sorts that might challenge them the most. Ward players: Clearly and concisely explain the points that your character is there to work on. What do they need to face to become a better person? What are they not realizing? What is the best sort of person to help them along? What is the worst kind? How are they likely to behave?
A lot of this will come straight from your personality section. Feel free to use bullet points or anything else that you feel will help get the information across clearly.
2. Read through everyone else's posts and look for a compatible (or interesting!) match. You don't have to pick people that will fix your character the fastest, or vice versa. If it will make for an interesting plot dynamic, pick the ones that will rub each other the wrong way!
3. Agree together upon a pairing and end your thread with ATTN: MODS in the subject heading. Permanent pairs will be made on the 1st and 16th of every month.
Mods will only approve pairings of canonmates on a case by case basis. If your characters already have canon CR, they already have a dynamic. We encourage you to form new ones.
If you are on hiatus, you will not be paired.
