On a side note, I'm all about aging characters. Even in games I don't RP in, I've done it. In WoW I played the same character from day 1 of vanilla to MoP launch, never RP'd, but I still used the barbershop function to gray his beard and recede his hairline, since I had been playing him for something close to 8 years.
I really hope there's a function like this in ARR. Of course my character is only 25 at launch so I don't think the game will be running long enough to need to gray his hair, but giving me the option of having him grow a beard or cut his hair in favor of a more mature look would be outstanding. That was off-topic. My bad.Â
It's quite alright.
Ryanti will definitely be exposed to many things during his training. On purpose, mostly. To basically just verse him in the way of combat, adventuring, and in some cases, war.
But no, Ryanti will definitely not be the best at everything. He will improve.. at things, the more time he spends learning them, of course. Certainly won't be the best though. Ryanti has a natural talent and incredibly deep well at being brave and courageous. To live up to the deeds of his father, whom was an Immortal Flame all the way up to when the Meteor hit.
But it's not something he realizes he has. If anyone would be the one to... tell him he's not good at something, it would be Ryanti himself, at least when he starts out. He's going to be very self critical about himself, and unsure about himself. I'm going to use his weaknesses to define his strengths.
But he's going to grow, as I said. In time, he will be quite the beautiful, majestic warrior with a magnetism and charisma that his father had. Although certainly he wouldn't be a master at it. People twice his age in the Flames would be.
Looking way into the future, when he is a fully fledged Samurai... hm, perhaps then would be the time to go to the barber shop and 'settle down' his hair a bit, and give a more.. experienced expression x3. Make him much more, at peace with myself, and sure of his decisions.
Though of the course the philosophy of a Samurai is that you are always learning.
I don't really think I could ever say I was/am/is a master at any Job, really. Unless it is bestowed upon me by others. I could say I'm really experienced, or that.. I have natural talent, or that I learn quickly. But mastery truely means you have nothing else to learn except from the students you teach.
It'll be kind of complicated though once I'm level 50 with full pvp gear and everything. Unless I don't count that in RP.
Once Ryanti is like that, I could go for the Obi-Wan approach. Be a 'master', have a student (maybe)... but still be, relatively young, and having much to learn still.
I can see being a Master rank wise much moreso then 'mastery' if that makes sense.
Although I still think, other people should make that distinction, not myself.
I'm just rambling now, lol.
