Badly's an adverb

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

Another thing you can do is have a character that could still fill the role of a mentor because of his age, but be able to be taught on other matters himself. Like if you were a Luke Skywalker by the end of the trilogy mentoring someone, but still had a post-death Obi-Wan Kenobi helping him out and guiding him, as an example. It's what I did with two characters, and their development has been a lot of fun.

Curiously enough, the opposite is the same for me: I've played characters that have served as mentors of sorts, but have still managed to grow. I've personally wanted to play characters that have a lot of potential to grow within a given setting, but instead of already being heroes in need of mentors, that would instead be a character that will need to become one.
