Training Apprentices

Training an apprentice can be difficult, with multiple apprentices at once even more so! Taking this into consideration, the Fireborn Sovereignty has provided those who will be training our new generation of Force-users with a portfolio of information that will hopefully help them in this task. Understand that not all of this must be used for each individual apprentice, they are simply ideas and practices that have worked in the past. If you are looking for ideas that go beyond what has been provided by this page, do not hesitate to ask a Lord, Darth, or Force-sensitive Lord Councillor for assistance in the guild discord or in-game. Remember, training an apprentice is as much a journey for the master as it is for the apprentice!

Introduction
There are a variety of ways to train an apprentice, from doing personalized one on one RP events in-game to sending them to search or kill an in-game boss or item. The apprentices that turn out the best generally have a good mix of everything, so make sure to consider that when training. This wikia/fandom page will provide a list of activities in the hopes that masters will provide a good mix to their apprentice(s).

Atheane's POV of Apprenticeships.
One of the most important things about having an apprentice is creating fun and challenging trials and lessons for them to go through. Apprenticeships are more than just explaining the History and laws, and hierarchy of the Sovereignty. It is good to balance the more formal things (the things i listed) with the fun/challenging things, because an apprenticeship shouldn't be all fun, or all formal. When starting an apprenticeship out, I've asked the characters what they want to do after they complete their training. Within the Sovereignty, it is asking what ministry they wish to go into, so then I know what kind of lessons to do for the character. It would be odd if your apprentice wanted to go into the Ministry of State to educate force users, and you as their master continuously taught them combat techniques. One of my apprentices wanted to go into the Ashborn Covenant, so I have put in more lessons on the Force, than I have Combat. (Though I do combat lessons every once in awhile because everyone goes into combat at one point).

One thing that I've found that makes training apprentices easier is writing out your lesson plan Prior to the actual RP. Yes, I've winged them and yes, they don't go as well when you do wing them.

The process I go through:


 * 1) Figure out what I am going to teach them
 * 2) Research the ability or style (Style if its a form of combat)
 * 3) Write down on a doc the parts of the lesson
 * 4) figure out if you will need any sort of dice rolls, and what kind of rolls you want your apprentice to use.
 * 5) If I have time, I sometimes put the dialogue of my character into the doc, so I can just copy and paste it into the chat.
