I'm on a superhero bender right now
If your characters found themselves in the position of being a mentor to at least one brand new superhero(ish) person, how good would they be at it, what would be the most likely outcome, and would they enjoy it?
Re: I'm on a superhero bender right now
Miharu: He's still getting used to being a Rider and coping with self-esteem issues and power woes. So he'd be extremely sympathetic to a younger Rider or a secondary Rider, especially if they used to be evil or got their powers from the bad guy or whatever. He'd encourage them never to give up and pass on the lessons he's learned from Eiji and from all of his friends here. He'd emphasize that it's okay to make mistakes and you have to in order to become stronger, that your greatest strength is overcoming your fears and finding courage. Even then, though, especially if this is a secondary Rider we're talking about, he'd be second-guessing himself a bit and wondering if he's helping or making things worse. But overall, it would turn out for the best.
Aqua: She'd probably be a pretty damn good mentor, to be honest. She's already very mature and accepting. She's learning well enough that things are not very clearly good-and-evil, and she'd advise students to keep that in mind. Overall, she'd remind them that the important part is trusting your heart and trusting your friends and being there for them, and while any students she'd have would inevitably get into trouble, she'd give them what they need to get themselves out of it.
Kendrix: In a way, she kind of is a mentor to Karone? But I think that even barring that, everything she's seen has given her some perspective, like with Aqua. But she'd emphasize the importance of researching and gathering information and not charging in half-cocked...only to pretty much do that herself if her successor or student is in danger. Based on the events of "Protect the Quasar Saber," I'd think she'd be a pretty hands-off mentor, if only because her team was one of the first to really make do without a mentor themselves. She'd answer questions, but really trust them to do it themselves.
Ren: He'd be a little bit of a trainwreck. Kind of like Miharu, he'd be second-guessing his own advice, but in private. And kind of like Kendrix, he wouldn't be super-active as a mentor. I see him more as the training type--more likely to criticize and help fight, but flounder a bit on the emotional aspect. But if his student needed help, he'd be there in a heartbeat and defend him immediately, so that would sort of balance things out? He'd complain about hating the job, but overall, I think he'd just hate that he's not good at it except for those few times when he can get it right. Overall, he's the one who needs a mentor.
Jin: Oh god. He's a genius and a nice guy, but oh god please do not let him around young impressionable people unless you want them to turn out like this (Seriously, they could be his children). And he'd love every second of the mayhem and be so damn proud.
