━━━━━━ ◦ ❖ ◦ ━━━━━━ Since it’d be almost impossible to roleplay every single moment Maleficentreign trains Marshpaw, I decided to make this project so that everything covered both in and out of roleplay will be known. <3 ━━━━━━ ◦ ❖ ◦ ━━━━━━ ✫Moon 1✫ ➳Getting to know Marshpaw. Maleficentreign will do his best to understand Marshpaw’s personality, how he learns, and how Maleficentreign will teach him. ➳Maleficentreign will give a lecture to Marshpaw about the territory, as well as give him a tour. ➳Marshpaw will be taught general information on ThunderClan, as well as the other Clans’ borders, and will inform Marshpaw of what his apprenticeship will be like. ✫Moon 2✫ ➳Lessons on coming up with good battle strategies. Maleficentreign will give Marshpaw different scenarios, and will ask Marshpaw what he’d do in the scenario, and how he’d help to win the imaginary battle. ➳Maleficentreign will teach Marshpaw on how to exercise without tiring himself out too much, as he finds physical activity important. He understands Marshpaw is fluffy, and the fur might weigh him down a bit, so he’ll help Marshpaw find ways to not let that stop him. ➳Lessons on stealth. Due to Marshpaw’s fur being [somewhat] too bright to blend in, Maleficentreign will give him advice on how to disguise his scent and cover his fur enough to be able to sneak around in the shadows. ✫Moon 3✫ ➳Maleficentreign will start to practice basic fighting moves with Marshpaw, starting out with letting Marshpaw pounce on things such as sticks, and then eventually will spar against him. ➳Maleficentreign will give lessons on how to hold a battle stance the best you can, even while you’re tired or if there’s shaky ground. ➳Maleficentreign will start to introduce advanced battle stances/forms, though he won’t teach Marshpaw any moves just yet. ✫Moon 4✫ ➳ Maleficentreign will start to teach Marshpaw how to hunt prey, and how to properly sneak up on it without it running away. ➳Maleficentreign will start introducing more advanced hunting and fighting moves to Marshpaw. He will try his best to keep a balance between these two. ➳“Lessons” on the Warrior Code. Since Maleficentreign despises the Code, he will tell Marshpaw what it is, but will not make him memorize it, nor will he care if Marshpaw doesn’t pay attention. He will freely express his own dislike towards it. ➳Lessons on how to help words win a fight, and how to use words just as well as claws. Maleficentreign will teach Marshpaw how to be quick with his tongue, and how to not let anyone take advantage of him. ✫Moon 5✫ ➳More practice with hunting and fighting, and will encourage Marshpaw to try challenging moves, and even try invent his own if he so wishes. ➳Maleficentreign will further instruct Marshpaw how to use words, and not just brute force, to win a fight by telling Marshpaw to be aware of others’ fears, or anything that may make them uneasy if mentioned in the heat of battle, so he can use it against them if he needs to. Basically; how to get into your enemy’s head. ➳Maleficentreign will help Marshpaw on how to be more confident, and how to take charge if needed. Essentially, he will teach him leadership skills. ✫Moon 6✫ ➳Maleficentreign will put more time into putting Marshpaw on patrols, sparring, going on hunting missions, or joint-training with other apprentices to prepare him for his assessment. He will make it very clear he does not tolerate failure. ➳Maleficentreign will make Marshpaw do a mock assessment. ➳More lessons on endurance, and he will make Marshpaw run for a certain distance without stopping halfway. ➳More lessons on how to get into another cat’s head with simply words. ➳More knowledge on Clan politics, and Maleficentreign will encourage Marshpaw to challenge cats around him, especially those of authority ➳Maleficentreign will give lessons on how to climb trees, and how to make sure the branch won’t snap upon walking on it. ➳Lessons on how to ambush a cat from a tree, and how to jump down from a branch without injuring yourself ✫Moon 7✫ ➳Since this is the last moon of Marshpaw’s training, Maleficentregin will focus on more miscellaneous things, and will let Marshpaw have much more time to socialize, but will also remind him his assessment is coming up. ➳Marshpaw will be taught basic herb knowledge such as how to use cobwebs on a bleeding wound. ➳Due to Marshpaw not knowing what he wants in life, Maleficentreign will try his best to help Marshpaw figure out what he wants, and how to get what he wants. ➳Marshpaw’s assessment. Marshpaw will be required to catch a specific amount of prey, along with specific types of prey, as well as being tested on his fighting abilities. Marshpaw will be challenged to try to sneak up on Maleficentreign. He will also be tested on endurance.
━━━━━━ ◦ ❖ ◦ ━━━━━━ ✫Extra Info✫ ➳Maleficentreign’s mentoring style will be a bit stern, and will be focused on making sure that Marshpaw is successful. Maleficentreign will treat Marshpaw with the bare minimum of courtesy, though this may not always happen due to Maleficentreign being someone who is opinionated. While Maleficentreign may come off as emotionless, he does give high praise to Marshpaw when the latter does good at something, and also makes sure to not train him too hard. ➳Joint training sessions with the other apprentices and their mentors are possible! ➳Maleficentreign will keep in mind that Marshpaw may or may not need breaks so he doesn’t get overworked, and will give Marshpaw short or long breaks, depending on how tired he is. ━━━━━━ ◦ ❖ ◦ ━━━━━━ ➳Art: @_CinnamonCat_ ➳Characters: @_CinnamonCat_ & @zollvaix-
