I'd think the GM would know if a character idea makes sense their setting or not. Kind of weird for someone to tell them they're wrong in that regard.

I mean, a 22 year old person is probably more likely to be studied at a university rather than a high school.
This might be comedic, but it's not an absurdist comedy where you could justify sending a non-magical feral human who goes into violent rages into a magical high school.
The character's not acceptable, at all.
<Snipped quote by Fabricant451>
I was expecting you to say that.
Being 22 doesn't matter. Kodor has no formal education and speaks only a little English. Or I guess technically Japanese, but we write it as English, because that's our common language.
Secondly, the magical schools that exist seem to be rather secretive. This means that one building is going to house a larger portion of the magical society, so this school could actually encompass high school, but also middle school and even university ages.
But what's more important than Kodor's education is Kodor's use FOR education. As I said previously, psychologists and sociologists would have a field day with someone like him. So while he's learning things like reading, 'riting, and 'rithmitic, he's also learning to integrate with society and in the future he'll be useful as a guide in his homeland, a dangerous wasteland filled with rare and dangerous things.
One might say his existence at the school is a little odd, but the school teaches wizards and demons. If half your student body is pyromancers, Kodor's almost normal for you.
... Because it's sending a violent caveman into a highschool. A magical highschool. he has no magic.
If anything he'd end up somewhere where he can be safely studied and educated, like some kind of university institute or something. The RP's not absurd enough to justify this and it clashes pretty harshly.
That's my final word and I'm not budging on this.
Moving on now.

If half the school is witches and wizards, a berzerker prone to fits of rage would still be unusual. It would be like if in Hogwarts they had Grawp taking lessons with the students. Yeah Grawp might fit in with the overall world, but he doesn't fit in at Hogwarts. You can claim that Kodor fits the lore (and really what lore is there other than 'magical school like a Zero no Tsukaima or something) but the setting is a different story.
If someone like Kodor was discovered today people wouldn't send him to high school. They wouldn't send him to college either. Because they could accomplish everything you mention in a lab.
<Snipped quote by Fabricant451>
Now you're forgetting the most important question of all: would doing it in a lab be fun?
That's my final word and I'm not budging on this.
Moving on now.
<Snipped quote by IncredibleBee>
I mean...I assume it would be for the scientists. Probably not for the subject but then...what subjects ever have fun in labs. Maybe the mice if they get cheese.
<Snipped quote by Fabricant451>
Well yeah, but look at it this way. Say you discovered a feral child, and you wanted to make them a functional member of society. Would you lock them away and only see men in white lab coats? Or would you want them to meet more people and get a variety of experiences and conversations?
