He is a bit taller than the average human, he doesn't ALWAYS have the spikes sticking out but most the time he does.
Most of the stuff you asked next I had already answered, I said he would be "quite agile" and to explain how he's fast with all those spikes, he uses them like wings and pushes himself forward whilst running. How does your demon identify it's environment to choose a target? Like a snake, he has very small holes above his mouth which he uses to see in heat vision. I'm not sure what you mean by "scales" because I never said anything about scales.
I enjoyed the animation, you have a talent there.
Unfortunately, the depiction of your characters movement would never make it past our head lore admin here, as telekinetic regenerating wing spikes would definitely make the character overpowered. However, if you were to nerf the character a bit, give a more in-depth description of his abilities (such as the snake-like vision and wing-spike movement, those would have been good details to include in the original post) you may have a shot at getting him approved. The concept of a demon creature created by demons for battle is interesting, but we have to consider how it would fit with the lore as well. Again, If you had some more details about your construction and testing, leading up to the creature being cast aside by the demons, that would help. I'll leave this topic alone now to avoid making it seem like I actually have a say in whether or not you get into Ravien. Good luck!

You could easily expand your backstory by describing what the 'run-in' was that had you about to be executed, and though elven enslavement and an elven attack on a human fortress are not specified in Ravien's lore I'm not one to say whether or not it can be worked with, so however you want to expand on that is your business. Just put some more details in, tell a bigger story about your character and try to give us a sense of his personality, abilities, and goals. That is usually enough to get on. (Still not a whitelister just trying to give advice in hopes that I can help get people onto the server.)
Well, I made a skin of him which shows him with his spikes already out, so what I was think was just having him be a very strong attacker (due to the spike arms)
Good luck reworking him to get him past the lore admin
It would be great having some more players on the server.

Character Name: Alger Forecry
Age: 26
Sex (Male/Female/Androgynous/Transgender): Male
Backstory (3 Paragraph minimum, proper grammar and spacing required):
Since he was a little boy, home was a never a word he was unfamiliar with. Orphaned since he could remember, Alger moved from place to place, taking whatever it was he needed to live another day. One day, after being beaten by butcher who had caught him stealing meat, Alger escaped into the forests where he would rest. As he inspected his wounds, he noticed his right arm was severely bruised, and that the large cut on his left leg had become infected from the voyage to the forest. Bleeding from the many wounds inflicted upon him, he sat there waiting for death to creep and end his life. When all seemed lost, a hooded figure approached him from the shadows and lifted the wounded child.
After awaking from what seemed to be days of rest, Alger looked up to see that he had been bandaged thoroughly, as well as that his clothes had been cleaned and layed down for him on the side. Confused as to what had happened, he quickly got up to look around. Just as he was about to reach the door, the hooded man returned, carrying him back into bed. Who was this man? And what was it that made him want to save his insignificant life? As days past, his wounds had healed to the point where further care was no longer needed. Other then the limp in his left leg, he was fit to survive on his own again. It was then, that the hooded man returned once again to let him know that if Alger permits, he would train him in a way that would allow him to survive without thieving. Hesitant at first, Alger eventually decided that it was best to stay with the mysterious man.
At first, the training methods were unconventional. The tasks he was told to complete seemed trivial and to be frank, a complete waste of time. After what had seemed to be a month of “training”, Alger decided that he was done with it, and demanded the hooded man let him leave. As if the man had predicted his words, the next few things he said took Alger by complete surprise. Apparently, there was blood in him that bred from a magical descent, meaning he was gifted in High Magic. And so, Alger took back his scornful words and studied vigorously for the next few years hoping to become a master magician. After 6 years of practice, his abilities had only developed ever so slightly, barely mastering the basics of each arcane art. It was then explained that his magical blood had been too diluted due to mix marriages, and that his magic would thus be weaker. Though disappointed, Alger couldn’t help but feel a sense of happiness despite his mentor’s words. He understood that his teacher knew he was not extraordinarily gifted, but still kept him under his wing. The feeling was unknown and strange, but it was something he liked. There was finally something he could call home. Finally asking for a name, the man only said that he may call him Forecry, and that was all he needed to know.
Months rolled by as he continued his studies despite his limited abilities. One day, as Alger was about to ask to learn more difficult material, his master had disappeared. Searching the home to see where he had disappeared to, there was no trace to his disappearance. He waited days, until eventually he realized that his master was never going to return. Angered and enraged, Alger rushed out of the home and into the city. After cooling off, he realized that something must have happened to his master, and decided to live a decent life as his master had intended. Leaving for the city in hopes to gain enough funds to find his teacher, opening a shop seemed like the best idea to him. My name is Alger Forecry, and I will find my master.

IC (In-Character Application) Character Name: Grafight V Age: Unknown Sex (Male/Female/Androgynous/Transgender): Male Backstory (3 Paragraph minimum, proper grammar and spacing required):
Grafight V is a wild and unpredictable beast unable to use any form of communication, besides making loud screeches. His appearance is the body of a normal human, but completely black. His head has no eyes, just a huge mouth that looks like it was carved in with blue blood all around the teeth. He sees with 2 very small holes just above his mouth which he uses to see in heat vision, like a snake. He grows large, metal, white spikes out of his back and arms. He was originally created in the nether with Alchemy stolen from the Old Kind by the demons. He was made to be an elite warrior for the demons, and was to be set out to wreck havoc on everyone, but the demons weren't able to make him friendly to them. They kidnapped innocent people and took them to the nether to train Grafight V. They would set them in a white chamber, then send Grafight V in. After they had seen what he could do, they went in to try and tell him what his mission was. But when they sent 2 demons in to inform him, he slashed them to pieces. Then realized they had just created their own demise, for Grafight V did not work for anyone and would eventually attack the demons themselves. They used some type of gas to knock out Grafight V, then they sent him far away from the nether, to buy time for them to create Grafight IV, a new, more controlled demon, which was everything Grafight V wasn't. He was smart, planned before striking, but he was incapable of speaking as well, even less than Grafight V, he couldn't make any noise whatsoever, because the demons spent the time they could be using to make him speak on making his powers stronger. When Grafight V woke up after they had sent him far away from the nether, he was in the woods. He walked around for a while when he heard a growl. He ran towards it and found a bear mauling 2 people. Grafight V let out a screech and the bear turned its attention to him. He quickly expanded his spike and hacked the bear to pieces. The 2 people were smiling, think they were just saved by an angel. Grafight V let out another screech and hacked them apart as well. Grafight V still romes around, striking randomly at those he chooses.

Molbin is youngest of the Muru brothers, apparently they all died together somewhere and came to Ravien, seemingly a peaceful and friendly person, he only cares for his brothers, everyone else are expendable for him. Muru brothers travel around Ravien seeking for riches and power, they back down from nothing and usually emerge victoriously from all the challenges.
Molbin has recently became very interested in the Old Kind and studies every piece of information he can find about them. Daucus (the middle brother) who is a passionate farmer, recently found some kind of a strange plant what looks very demonic and Molbin cant wait until the plant reaches maturity. Molbin is sure that if he finds the demons and contacts them he could find a way to gain great power. Molbin also aids his Oldest brother, Harilik, in petty thieving and scams, for those are the things that bring in the money on the moment but Molbin is sure he can change that and increase the income of their "traveling party"
On this moment, the three brothers are traveling towards a major city to cain some money for Molbins studies and Daucus`s plants. Harilik aleready has some plans to scam taverns and shops. Molbin hopes that he can also find out more about the strange plant Daucus found (i dunno bout the lore background on nether wart so..yeah) and since the three of them are rather experienced in combat, then just maybe take few bouny hunting jobs also.

IC (In-Character Application) Character Name: Jacob von Mordekaiser
Age: 18
Sex: Male
Backstory (3 Paragraph minimum, proper grammar and spacing required):Born into a middle class family with no brothers nor sisters, Jacob's father worked their families farm which had been in the family for two generation, and his mother worked for the local Earl as his personal maid. Due to Jacob's lack of siblings, he was taught the value of hard work from a very young age, helping his father around the farm by tending to the crops, chopping wood, and doing other menial tasks.
At the age of ten, his mother wanted a better life for him and performed 'favors' for the Earl so that her son could use his castles library where he gained knowledge of the outside world. His spare time was split between studying and playing with Amagous, a family friend a little over a year older than him. They would hunt for small game and play together when they were younger, Amagous undoubtedly being the braver of the two. Jacob noticed that his friend was becoming bored and restless with life as they grew older, straying from the farm to fight all manner of beasts from giant spiders and wild boars to bears and wolves, his love of swordplay showing as he gracefully struck at his foe's.
At the age of 15, Amagous left to join some passing soldiers who had stayed at his families farm to rest. They were Knights of Saint Paltria, an order of Knights who sought out evil in all corners of the land. Jacob wished to join his friend but both his mother and father were strictly against him leaving at only the age of 14, his mother stating "We've worked hard to get you an education, and will use it!" Jacob was saddened to see his friend leave, waving goodbye to Amagous as his friend departed with his fellow men.
At the age of 18, Jacob had gained a vast knowledge of the world and its inhabitants, but his learning was cut short as his father had found out about the foul deeds of his wife. Sseeking to avenge this dishonorable act, Jacob's father confronted the Earl which quickly broke out into a fight resulting in the death of Jacob's father and the Earl's left forearm being slashed open. In an act of venegence of his own, the Earl decided it was Jacob who would pay for his fathers crime. "Bring me his head!" he ordered, his guards blindly following their orders as they had been raised to do. As the men arrived at his homestead and descended upon Jacob, he defended himself as well as he was able with a pitchfork, but was quickly overpowered. As a guardsman thrust his sword through Jacob's gut, he remembered his old friend, Amagous. If only he had been able to join him. The darkness soon flooded his mind and the world inside his head went black...
Then as if waking from a dream, he found himself slowly sitting up and trying to look around, but it was far too bright for him to see. Slowly his eyes adjusted to the light and he began to make out the world around him, quickly realizing he was no longer in his home. As he stared around the desert he lay in, he saw other beings also begin to rise from the soft sand, just as he did. But to his horror, these were beings like nothing he had ever seen or read about before. This was something entirely new. He, was somewhere entirely new.

Character Name: Ditona
Age: Mid twenty’s
Sex (Male/Female/Androgynous/Transgender): Female
Backstory:
Ditona, hails from the kingdom of Translvania, daughter of Grand Cleric Julius Magnermius, lived a very noble life, having troubles as far as whether or not she should throw money at peasants or that money at her servants. She was deemed to take her father’s position at the young age at 12 due to him having no next of kin to take his spot other than his daughter. Although it may seem as if the Grand Cleric is a noteworthy position, it is rather middle class compared to King and his knights of the Cubed table. Still closer to nobility than others having more money what is good for them, yet still not reaching nobility.
Around age 17, Ditona grew into the shoes of her father, studying religion, as it was important to those under her, and as a hobby practicing archery. Her true passion though, was cooking. She could create the sweetest of the cakes along with the greatest soup one could drink, although she never shared it with anyone but her father, because he was her only close friend. At the age of 22 she took the position of her late father and was handed the promising locket of her fathers and his father’s before them, which can be seen around her neck.
Shortly after of taking the position of Grand Cleric, she met many men of nobility including one by the name of JG, only going by his initials to remain rather anonymous. About a week later the kingdom came under siege by Endermen and forced all of the Kingdom of Translvania to escape. JG saved Ditona’s life on many occasions on their escape from the kingdom, which now has a black haze around it for the rest of time it seems. Now JG and Ditona wander trying to find a new life and oddly enough platonically.

Backstory (3 Paragraph minimum, proper grammar and spacing required):I was a general of the Dwarve army but my most intrest was my son Grumar Stoneforge. Then there was my wife Maria I forget her last name.I am still wondering how he is doing if he took my place or something else. My biggest fear about him is if he is ok I was killed when his was only around 15 or 16.I also my wife was always yelling at me when I join the army I realy never seen Grumar or maria since that point on. I still remember if our leader King Hammerfell is still there if not I really want to meet the new king of the dwarves.
Now I am going to tell you about my days as the general in the dwarven army back then.When I was the general of the army we would always be on guard because it was like a dayly bases that they would come and try to bother us it was one day it went to far. It has been to much to handle so the dwarve army went all out on the demons. So King put me incharge of the attack so thats when the worst that you can think of happened yes the demons are strong and skillful but not as good as dwarves. We put up a good fight but we evenutally were over powered by the nasty demons I knew this is it. I thought to myself I am going to die fighting for my kind and protecting my family back home were every they are in town or out doing something to pray.

What the hell now I have a grief ban?
I didn't do anything and you're keep banning me for no reason
Responding to the initial ban like a child will not help your case SplinterZero, nor will making demands of the staff. "Unban me," "Also I want my stuff back." They graciously offered to let you come back in 3 days when you went rambo on a RP server. You should be thanking them, not making demands of them. As a Head Admin on another RP server, I'd be surprised if they let you back at all at this point for your behavior during and now after the incident.
My advice to you is to calm down, re-think the situation, look at what you did wrong, put your pride aside, learn from your mistake, and become a better person. Otherwise, I can tell you as an experienced admin that your chances of being unbanned at this point are very likely slim to none.

Character Name: Nobilis
Age: 21
Sex: Male
Backstory: Nobilis is a man who was born into Ravien without knowing who his parents were. He was initially found in a small hovel that was given to him for reasons unknown. His only known "parents" that he can recall were two individuals of no nobility. The only reason why such people cared for the boy was initially out of pity. Nobilis' "home" was left with a chest that contained instructions and equipment that was only to be used when the time was appropriate. The contents of the chest contained the very items that began his journey as a knight, but it also contained enough gold to make sure that he was properly taken care of until he was ready to start his own journey.
Nobilis' life was what many would consider to be common by royal standards. However, his adopted parents made sure that he was well educated. He learned proper reading, writing, formal language, and the ways of the sword. Such a life went on for many years. However, on his twenty-first birthday, Nobilis' adopted father opened a mysterious chest that night. The chest contained a wooden practice sword, a headband containing a royal symbol, a loose chainmail vest, and numerous pieces of leather armor to protect the rest of the body from harm. Nobilis was explained that these belongings were there when he was found and he was also informed that he was adopted into this family for the sake of having a son to raise.
From that moment on, Nobilis decided that he desired to follow his destiny of becoming a honorable knight. Nobilis was given the contents of the chest and the small amount of gold, hoping that it would be enough to begin his long journey to discover his destiny. The odds of him accomplishing his goals are great, but Nobilis truly feels that his cause is pure and worthy. So begins the adventures of Nobilis. May he find the future that he seeks.

"We have recieved an order to take you into custody - you are wanted for the murder of Sir Raleigh, Earl of Dragnor."
How do you respond?: Nobilis places his hands in the air, so as to show the soldiers that he wishes to bring no hostile intentions. "I have no intentions of resisting. However, I will prove my innocence."
Splinterzero, I agree that the rule should be listed (one of the many things that will hopefully be fixed with the upcoming reset), but I have no clue how you arrived at the conclusion that this was a pvp server. The thread topic and Original Post both clearly say roleplay. Looking forward to seeing you back on the server when your temp ban expires, unless that griefing ban sticks, in which case, it was nice knowing you. (p.s., did you happen to see who killed the cat in the church?)
Next time you could reply to me so I KNOW I got an answer :/
I misspoke when I said "PvP server" I meant I thought this was a server where PvP is allowed. I CAN'T come back because I got a perm ban for griefing now which I have no idea why and no one will answer anything I ask.
Also, is I can't kill people at random that ruins the whole idea of my character, I told you he is just a beast that attacks everything in site, how can I RP him if I'm not allowed to attack anyone?
What is the use of appealing for a grief ban if no one will check the forums for the appeal?
Our regular whitelister is having alot of personal issues and emokitten has taken over for the time being. I am sure he does regularly check the forums, but I cannot speak for him in any case. Considering he approved your character application without pointing out that you would have to go through certain procedure before attacking on sight, I understand where you are coming from in being upset. I'll look into this greifing ban and see what it was about, then get back to you and let you know so you aren't in the dark.
... So, I really want to come back- if you guys will have me... Just sayin'
The persistence is heartwarming, but I think Alcyius has the final say on your ban status. If I see him I'll refer him to the forums to talk to you. No guarantees though. I'm not sure if it's alcyius though, but I'll let the admins know you're asking about it and hopefully they can give you some closure, at the very least.
Well I find it strange the only person that actually seems to check the forums isn't a whitelister.
Heh, well, as I said, our regular whitelister is having some IRL issues that I won't go into and can't do it at the moment. Hopefully we get this fixed up soon. The server reset is coming up and by then we should have everything fixed up and working well.
{Had some spare time so I came back to this post and edited it to fit the format for a character update. You probably don't care. Oh well. having been revived from the dead, I have the opportunity to nerf my character to reduce the complaints people had in his original incarnation when he was called overpowered. I have taken advantage of this nerfing opportunity.}
Oh boy, one of my previous chars was revived by an admin for RP use... Well, I'm going to detail his character her for anyone that didn't know him before.
Viral is a Sraenetan, having evolved from a scraeling in-game. He has thin scales that provide minimal protection against attack and thick callouses on his elbows and knees that he could potentially use to smack people with. (A trait he rarely uses). Viral's horns are also mostly unused natural weapons. Viral has hands that end in tough black claws, that, while not sharp, conceal about a half inch of threadlike substances that can be lit on fire by snapping, which burns green. He is able to breathe a thin green vapor that is slightly acidic, causing shortness of breath, minor burns and nausea. He is skilled at using mental links to access another beings mind and clear their thoughts, helping supress their inhibitions so they can more clearly view their own desires. He often used this skill to help recover supressed memories and guide people to make their own choices after allowing them to understand themselves better.
Viral was tainted with Dark magic by the High Demon Agrathus while he was in his cocoon, and later developed a proficiency with it. He can use the dark magic to alter his natural abilities (turning the flames on his clawtips black and cold, somewhat more dangerous, making the mist cloud peoples perceptions as well as being acidic) as well as forming dark tendrils that he uses to immobilize opponents. He does this by wrapping the tendrils around their feet and ankles, wrists, and sometimes their throats or waists. He is able to form small, one foot long 'blades' in his hands that he can use as weapons, though he prefers to alter peoples desires, causing them to shift their attention, implanting false memories in some cases, or overwhelming their minds causing them to lose track of reality long enough for him to escape. His mental magic, when tainted by darkness, can compel and alter the mind instead of simply organizing it.
Finally, he can use minor teleportation that he learned from Agrathus, where he cloaks himself in black mist and dissapears. (he cannot do this while focusing on other things, meaning that if he is engaged in combat or actively conversing with someone, he can't use it.)
Viral's main method of battle is to immobilize his opponents and alter their minds, shying away from his more physical combative capabilities unless he is unable to get into the opponents mind well enough to alter it. This is how he would handle the RP example: As you disembark from the Imperial Ship Leviathan, you notice a group of soldiers standing in the gangway. They draw their swords, with the captain of the guard standing intimidatingly. "We have recieved an order to take you into custody - you are wanted for the murder of Sir Raleigh, Earl of Dragnor."
How do you respond?:*Viral chuckles a bit and hums, raising a single claw. The mens feet are enveloped in a strange darkness that seems to writhe as it rises.* (Guards) "Hey?! What are you doing?!" *They try to move and find themselves unable to free their feet.* (Viral) "Let's see who you really are, inside." "He waves his hand slightly, a green vapor flows from it. The guards feel a presence entering their minds and their thoughts seem to blur.* (Viral) "What is it you desire?" *The presence seems to shift and the guards thoughts clear, their innermost wants pushing their way to the front of their minds* "Good, good... Now lets make you chase that happiness." *The mist turns black and the presence in the guards minds seems to writhe, they feel compelled to fulfill their desires, the tendrils receding from their feet* (Captain of the guard) "What... What is this... I..." *He grabs the second guard and kisses him deeply. The third guard walks away with a puzzled look on his face, mumbling. The second guard flails his arms trying to get away from the captain. All three guards seem to have lost their focus on Viral as he bathes himself in a dark mist and dissapears*
I enjoyed the animation, you have a talent there.
Unfortunately, the depiction of your characters movement would never make it past our head lore admin here, as telekinetic regenerating wing spikes would definitely make the character overpowered. However, if you were to nerf the character a bit, give a more in-depth description of his abilities (such as the snake-like vision and wing-spike movement, those would have been good details to include in the original post) you may have a shot at getting him approved. The concept of a demon creature created by demons for battle is interesting, but we have to consider how it would fit with the lore as well. Again, If you had some more details about your construction and testing, leading up to the creature being cast aside by the demons, that would help. I'll leave this topic alone now to avoid making it seem like I actually have a say in whether or not you get into Ravien. Good luck!
yep.
You could easily expand your backstory by describing what the 'run-in' was that had you about to be executed, and though elven enslavement and an elven attack on a human fortress are not specified in Ravien's lore I'm not one to say whether or not it can be worked with, so however you want to expand on that is your business. Just put some more details in, tell a bigger story about your character and try to give us a sense of his personality, abilities, and goals. That is usually enough to get on. (Still not a whitelister just trying to give advice in hopes that I can help get people onto the server.)
Good luck reworking him to get him past the lore admin
It would be great having some more players on the server.

Character Name: Alger Forecry
Age: 26
Sex (Male/Female/Androgynous/Transgender): Male
Backstory (3 Paragraph minimum, proper grammar and spacing required):
Since he was a little boy, home was a never a word he was unfamiliar with. Orphaned since he could remember, Alger moved from place to place, taking whatever it was he needed to live another day. One day, after being beaten by butcher who had caught him stealing meat, Alger escaped into the forests where he would rest. As he inspected his wounds, he noticed his right arm was severely bruised, and that the large cut on his left leg had become infected from the voyage to the forest. Bleeding from the many wounds inflicted upon him, he sat there waiting for death to creep and end his life. When all seemed lost, a hooded figure approached him from the shadows and lifted the wounded child.
After awaking from what seemed to be days of rest, Alger looked up to see that he had been bandaged thoroughly, as well as that his clothes had been cleaned and layed down for him on the side. Confused as to what had happened, he quickly got up to look around. Just as he was about to reach the door, the hooded man returned, carrying him back into bed. Who was this man? And what was it that made him want to save his insignificant life? As days past, his wounds had healed to the point where further care was no longer needed. Other then the limp in his left leg, he was fit to survive on his own again. It was then, that the hooded man returned once again to let him know that if Alger permits, he would train him in a way that would allow him to survive without thieving. Hesitant at first, Alger eventually decided that it was best to stay with the mysterious man.
At first, the training methods were unconventional. The tasks he was told to complete seemed trivial and to be frank, a complete waste of time. After what had seemed to be a month of “training”, Alger decided that he was done with it, and demanded the hooded man let him leave. As if the man had predicted his words, the next few things he said took Alger by complete surprise. Apparently, there was blood in him that bred from a magical descent, meaning he was gifted in High Magic. And so, Alger took back his scornful words and studied vigorously for the next few years hoping to become a master magician. After 6 years of practice, his abilities had only developed ever so slightly, barely mastering the basics of each arcane art. It was then explained that his magical blood had been too diluted due to mix marriages, and that his magic would thus be weaker. Though disappointed, Alger couldn’t help but feel a sense of happiness despite his mentor’s words. He understood that his teacher knew he was not extraordinarily gifted, but still kept him under his wing. The feeling was unknown and strange, but it was something he liked. There was finally something he could call home. Finally asking for a name, the man only said that he may call him Forecry, and that was all he needed to know.
Months rolled by as he continued his studies despite his limited abilities. One day, as Alger was about to ask to learn more difficult material, his master had disappeared. Searching the home to see where he had disappeared to, there was no trace to his disappearance. He waited days, until eventually he realized that his master was never going to return. Angered and enraged, Alger rushed out of the home and into the city. After cooling off, he realized that something must have happened to his master, and decided to live a decent life as his master had intended. Leaving for the city in hopes to gain enough funds to find his teacher, opening a shop seemed like the best idea to him. My name is Alger Forecry, and I will find my master.

Character Name: Jacob von Mordekaiser
Age: 18
Sex: Male
Backstory (3 Paragraph minimum, proper grammar and spacing required): Born into a middle class family with no brothers nor sisters, Jacob's father worked their families farm which had been in the family for two generation, and his mother worked for the local Earl as his personal maid. Due to Jacob's lack of siblings, he was taught the value of hard work from a very young age, helping his father around the farm by tending to the crops, chopping wood, and doing other menial tasks.
At the age of ten, his mother wanted a better life for him and performed 'favors' for the Earl so that her son could use his castles library where he gained knowledge of the outside world. His spare time was split between studying and playing with Amagous, a family friend a little over a year older than him. They would hunt for small game and play together when they were younger, Amagous undoubtedly being the braver of the two. Jacob noticed that his friend was becoming bored and restless with life as they grew older, straying from the farm to fight all manner of beasts from giant spiders and wild boars to bears and wolves, his love of swordplay showing as he gracefully struck at his foe's.
At the age of 15, Amagous left to join some passing soldiers who had stayed at his families farm to rest. They were Knights of Saint Paltria, an order of Knights who sought out evil in all corners of the land. Jacob wished to join his friend but both his mother and father were strictly against him leaving at only the age of 14, his mother stating "We've worked hard to get you an education, and will use it!" Jacob was saddened to see his friend leave, waving goodbye to Amagous as his friend departed with his fellow men.
At the age of 18, Jacob had gained a vast knowledge of the world and its inhabitants, but his learning was cut short as his father had found out about the foul deeds of his wife. Sseeking to avenge this dishonorable act, Jacob's father confronted the Earl which quickly broke out into a fight resulting in the death of Jacob's father and the Earl's left forearm being slashed open. In an act of venegence of his own, the Earl decided it was Jacob who would pay for his fathers crime. "Bring me his head!" he ordered, his guards blindly following their orders as they had been raised to do. As the men arrived at his homestead and descended upon Jacob, he defended himself as well as he was able with a pitchfork, but was quickly overpowered. As a guardsman thrust his sword through Jacob's gut, he remembered his old friend, Amagous. If only he had been able to join him. The darkness soon flooded his mind and the world inside his head went black...
Then as if waking from a dream, he found himself slowly sitting up and trying to look around, but it was far too bright for him to see. Slowly his eyes adjusted to the light and he began to make out the world around him, quickly realizing he was no longer in his home. As he stared around the desert he lay in, he saw other beings also begin to rise from the soft sand, just as he did. But to his horror, these were beings like nothing he had ever seen or read about before. This was something entirely new. He, was somewhere entirely new.

Character Name: Ditona
Age: Mid twenty’s
Sex (Male/Female/Androgynous/Transgender): Female
Backstory:
Ditona, hails from the kingdom of Translvania, daughter of Grand Cleric Julius Magnermius, lived a very noble life, having troubles as far as whether or not she should throw money at peasants or that money at her servants. She was deemed to take her father’s position at the young age at 12 due to him having no next of kin to take his spot other than his daughter. Although it may seem as if the Grand Cleric is a noteworthy position, it is rather middle class compared to King and his knights of the Cubed table. Still closer to nobility than others having more money what is good for them, yet still not reaching nobility.
Around age 17, Ditona grew into the shoes of her father, studying religion, as it was important to those under her, and as a hobby practicing archery. Her true passion though, was cooking. She could create the sweetest of the cakes along with the greatest soup one could drink, although she never shared it with anyone but her father, because he was her only close friend. At the age of 22 she took the position of her late father and was handed the promising locket of her fathers and his father’s before them, which can be seen around her neck.
Shortly after of taking the position of Grand Cleric, she met many men of nobility including one by the name of JG, only going by his initials to remain rather anonymous. About a week later the kingdom came under siege by Endermen and forced all of the Kingdom of Translvania to escape. JG saved Ditona’s life on many occasions on their escape from the kingdom, which now has a black haze around it for the rest of time it seems. Now JG and Ditona wander trying to find a new life and oddly enough platonically.

Then there was my wife Maria I forget her last name.I am still wondering how he is doing if he took my place or something else. My biggest fear about him is if he is ok I was killed when his was only around 15 or 16.I also my wife was always yelling at me when I join the army I realy never seen Grumar or maria since that point on. I still remember if our leader King Hammerfell is still there if not I really want to meet the new king of the dwarves.
Now I am going to tell you about my days as the general in the dwarven army back then.When I was the general of the army we would always be on guard because it was like a dayly bases that they would come and try to bother us it was one day it went to far. It has been to much to handle so the dwarve army went all out on the demons. So King put me incharge of the attack so thats when the worst that you can think of happened yes the demons are strong and skillful but not as good as dwarves. We put up a good fight but we evenutally were over powered by the nasty demons I knew this is it. I thought to myself I am going to die fighting for my kind and protecting my family back home were every they are in town or out doing something to pray.
Now i am going to tell you what my goal is now since I i got out of hell as a demon. I am trying to find my son if he is alive and hopeing the army will not come and try to kill me I can not stand Hell again it was hard enough getting out once.I hope i do not meet up with the army before my son or family they will just try kill me since Dwarves and demons are the biggest enemys every possible. I am a very freindly demon but some times it gets over me and I just go crazy i realy cant help it. I hope to reach my goal and find my family without being harmed by anyone or any army there is now.

Character Name: Nobilis
Age: 21
Sex: Male
Backstory: Nobilis is a man who was born into Ravien without knowing who his parents were. He was initially found in a small hovel that was given to him for reasons unknown. His only known "parents" that he can recall were two individuals of no nobility. The only reason why such people cared for the boy was initially out of pity. Nobilis' "home" was left with a chest that contained instructions and equipment that was only to be used when the time was appropriate. The contents of the chest contained the very items that began his journey as a knight, but it also contained enough gold to make sure that he was properly taken care of until he was ready to start his own journey.
Nobilis' life was what many would consider to be common by royal standards. However, his adopted parents made sure that he was well educated. He learned proper reading, writing, formal language, and the ways of the sword. Such a life went on for many years. However, on his twenty-first birthday, Nobilis' adopted father opened a mysterious chest that night. The chest contained a wooden practice sword, a headband containing a royal symbol, a loose chainmail vest, and numerous pieces of leather armor to protect the rest of the body from harm. Nobilis was explained that these belongings were there when he was found and he was also informed that he was adopted into this family for the sake of having a son to raise.
From that moment on, Nobilis decided that he desired to follow his destiny of becoming a honorable knight. Nobilis was given the contents of the chest and the small amount of gold, hoping that it would be enough to begin his long journey to discover his destiny. The odds of him accomplishing his goals are great, but Nobilis truly feels that his cause is pure and worthy. So begins the adventures of Nobilis. May he find the future that he seeks.

RP (Roleplay Application)
As you disembark from the Imperial Ship Leviathan, you notice a group of soldiers standing in the gangway. They draw their swords, with the captain of the guard standing intimidatingly. "We have recieved an order to take you into custody - you are wanted for the murder of Sir Raleigh, Earl of Dragnor."
How do you respond?: Nobilis places his hands in the air, so as to show the soldiers that he wishes to bring no hostile intentions. "I have no intentions of resisting. However, I will prove my innocence."
Our regular whitelister is having alot of personal issues and emokitten has taken over for the time being. I am sure he does regularly check the forums, but I cannot speak for him in any case. Considering he approved your character application without pointing out that you would have to go through certain procedure before attacking on sight, I understand where you are coming from in being upset. I'll look into this greifing ban and see what it was about, then get back to you and let you know so you aren't in the dark.
The persistence is heartwarming, but I think Alcyius has the final say on your ban status. If I see him I'll refer him to the forums to talk to you. No guarantees though. I'm not sure if it's alcyius though, but I'll let the admins know you're asking about it and hopefully they can give you some closure, at the very least.
Heh, well, as I said, our regular whitelister is having some IRL issues that I won't go into and can't do it at the moment. Hopefully we get this fixed up soon. The server reset is coming up and by then we should have everything fixed up and working well.
Oh boy, one of my previous chars was revived by an admin for RP use... Well, I'm going to detail his character her for anyone that didn't know him before.
Viral is a Sraenetan, having evolved from a scraeling in-game. He has thin scales that provide minimal protection against attack and thick callouses on his elbows and knees that he could potentially use to smack people with. (A trait he rarely uses). Viral's horns are also mostly unused natural weapons. Viral has hands that end in tough black claws, that, while not sharp, conceal about a half inch of threadlike substances that can be lit on fire by snapping, which burns green. He is able to breathe a thin green vapor that is slightly acidic, causing shortness of breath, minor burns and nausea. He is skilled at using mental links to access another beings mind and clear their thoughts, helping supress their inhibitions so they can more clearly view their own desires. He often used this skill to help recover supressed memories and guide people to make their own choices after allowing them to understand themselves better.
Viral was tainted with Dark magic by the High Demon Agrathus while he was in his cocoon, and later developed a proficiency with it. He can use the dark magic to alter his natural abilities (turning the flames on his clawtips black and cold, somewhat more dangerous, making the mist cloud peoples perceptions as well as being acidic) as well as forming dark tendrils that he uses to immobilize opponents. He does this by wrapping the tendrils around their feet and ankles, wrists, and sometimes their throats or waists. He is able to form small, one foot long 'blades' in his hands that he can use as weapons, though he prefers to alter peoples desires, causing them to shift their attention, implanting false memories in some cases, or overwhelming their minds causing them to lose track of reality long enough for him to escape. His mental magic, when tainted by darkness, can compel and alter the mind instead of simply organizing it.
Finally, he can use minor teleportation that he learned from Agrathus, where he cloaks himself in black mist and dissapears. (he cannot do this while focusing on other things, meaning that if he is engaged in combat or actively conversing with someone, he can't use it.)
Viral's main method of battle is to immobilize his opponents and alter their minds, shying away from his more physical combative capabilities unless he is unable to get into the opponents mind well enough to alter it. This is how he would handle the RP example:
As you disembark from the Imperial Ship Leviathan, you notice a group of soldiers standing in the gangway. They draw their swords, with the captain of the guard standing intimidatingly. "We have recieved an order to take you into custody - you are wanted for the murder of Sir Raleigh, Earl of Dragnor."
How do you respond?:*Viral chuckles a bit and hums, raising a single claw. The mens feet are enveloped in a strange darkness that seems to writhe as it rises.*
(Guards) "Hey?! What are you doing?!" *They try to move and find themselves unable to free their feet.*
(Viral) "Let's see who you really are, inside." "He waves his hand slightly, a green vapor flows from it. The guards feel a presence entering their minds and their thoughts seem to blur.*
(Viral) "What is it you desire?" *The presence seems to shift and the guards thoughts clear, their innermost wants pushing their way to the front of their minds* "Good, good... Now lets make you chase that happiness." *The mist turns black and the presence in the guards minds seems to writhe, they feel compelled to fulfill their desires, the tendrils receding from their feet*
(Captain of the guard) "What... What is this... I..." *He grabs the second guard and kisses him deeply. The third guard walks away with a puzzled look on his face, mumbling. The second guard flails his arms trying to get away from the captain. All three guards seem to have lost their focus on Viral as he bathes himself in a dark mist and dissapears*
