Wish you had been around when I was trying to promote this kind of RP! For a little while it worked, I did my best to attend everyone's classes and give tips and encouragement where needed, but sadly when I backed off to see if it'd stay afloat, it quickly died down. I guess it was either an issue of mentors not attending reliably to their classes or/and of students not coming back for the successive sessions. It's a real shame, cause I think the mentor/student and student/student interactions are still the ones that offer the best plots and development (both in RL and in fiction, just look at all the anime based on schools and apprentices, not to mention that big monster Harry Potter was)!
To be an interesting, intriguing, well-written character, there needs to be something to allow the audience to relate to them. That is what the problem is with who wants their character to be "perfect". Perfect characters will never be strong, and strong characters will never be perfect, because WE (those who read, who watch, who RP) are not perfect.
