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.


Now you're forgetting the most important question of all: would doing it in a lab be fun?
... 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.


First of all, he's not a caveman, he's a barbarian. They even have basic metalworking. He doesn't speak English/Japanese very well because it's not his native language.

And most of the student body has really dangerous magic anyways. Your own GMPC only has magic with, like, only military applications. One of the students was even originally going to be a lich, so that says a lot about school safety.
Plus, isolated study wouldn't be as good for societal reintegration.
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.


But I've made several justifications as to how it could work. You should tell me why those do not work.

I mean, a 22 year old person is probably more likely to be studied at a university rather than a high school.


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.
@Rakurai: Honestly it's more that the bio is so unfitting tonally and doesn't make sense in-universe that's the issue. There's nothing that would make it acceptable and I'm kind of baffled it was applied in the first place.


The bio totally makes sense in-universe. There's still lots of untamed and unexplored lands in the world, from northern tundras, deep forests, barren deserts, and the secret underground second layer of Earth hidden below Antarctica. And in this scenario it's got, like, minotaurs and stuff.

And a school contains professors. Professors actually usually engage in scientific studies, and a person who's grown up apart from any known civilization is a huge find. They're especially helpful if they know about the area being explored and its flora and fauna. So knowledge about Kodor's homeland is useful to biologists, archaeologists, alchemists, monster studies, etc.
Reintegrating Kodor into society by itself is a psychologist's dream study, a task that could earn a Nobel prize.
Name: Kodor
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Appearance:

Tall and strong, with long hair and a wild look in his eyes, like an untamed beast. Kodor is dressed in a modest selection of hides.

Personality: Kodor is a noble savage with a fiery temper and a penchant for extreme violence. In battle, he is liable to be possessed by an extreme bloodlust, entering a berserker state.
Despite this, he has a primitive sense of community. To him, the protection of his tribe is more important than anything else. The tribe protects each other and helps each other, and in the outlands, this is essential for living another day.
Kodor, given his life, also believes that might makes right.

Abilities: Kodor is immensely strong and durable, raised in the harshest climates and fighting dangerous monsters. Moreover, he's fit to bouts of berserker rage. When he enters such a state, he grows frighteningly violent, able to ignore pain, fear, and fatigue until he bleeds out or the enemy is destroyed. Even allies are recommended to stand back until he calms down.
Skills: Kodor is actually cunning, and skilled in melee combat. He prefers large, heavy weapons such as battleaxes, but he's no stranger to his fists or improvised weapons.

Brief Backstory: Kodor hails from the farthest reaches of society, wherein dangerous beasts and cryptids still walk and any civilization remotely close dare not tread, lest they lose their life. There, Kodor and his clan grew as savages, living off the land and eating the monsters that sought to destroy them.
Very little is understood about Kodor's tribe or how they lived. What is known is that when the wizard explorers found him, he was roasting and eating the corpse of a dragon.

After a short battle and some very difficult negotiations, it was decided that such a find as a lost tribe, let alone one with Kodor's assets, was best put to use if he was assimilated into society. From there, he could provide tons of info about his homeland, and perhaps even serve as a guide.
As he was already acquainted with the idea of magic and clearly had experience fighting mythical beasts, it was decided the best place for him to receive an education was Ishikawa, which was no stranger to dealing with magic and odd things.
I'd like to app Barack Obama as a Servant.

You'd be surprised how much that is even an understatement. Seyrun may not shine as much as I'd like her to, but still she'll have her chance of being the diva she was born to be, none of the other Masters hold a candle to her in terms of skill, after all, even though she's partially crippled.


If she's so skilled, why doesn't she have a servant?
"I would like to see it. Thank you." Musashi said. It would be good to study foreign martial arts. If what he knew of the tournament held true, he was liable to come across fighters from far across the sea, and knowing their techniques would be advantageous.

Musashi pulled the revolver from the glove compartment. "This is..."
Musashi examined it. It was a gun, but smaller than the rifles of his time. Carefully, he ejected each bullet. This gun held six. The hammer didn't carry a fuse.
Musashi aimed the unloaded revolver forward, and fired. Click. The hammer pulled back on its own, and the cyclinder turned. He pulled it a second time, carefully examining the weapon.
He was not at a military barrack. This type of weapon was common.
