1.4 broke alot of things, we're getting a new map with some different features. Ravien is currently two maps and two worlds, It will end up with one map one world. Or so I'm told. Also, the lore is getting an overhaul, everything is going to be specified and made easily accessible. should be ready in about a month. any other questions about it I'd direct to emokitten as he is an actual admin.
Well, I'm good at building if you need help. Mostly I'm good at natural things like giant trees or archways.
Also, can we submit ideas for lore?
that would be a question for golgotha, but the admin team has a pretty good handle on that so far. I'm going play it safe and say 'no'.
I really can't comment on it other than that, because I'm not an admin, mod, consultant, whitelister, or anything else. just a player.
... So, I really want to come back- if you guys will have me... Just sayin'

Age: 17
Sex (Male/Female/Androgynous/Transgender): Male
Backstory (3 Paragraph minimum, proper grammar and spacing required):
Ever since he was a little boy Dan was always trying to learn about the old kind.
Dan grew up to be a normal boy having a normal life. He had friends, a family and he was schooled.
After awhile Dan learned of the 'Demons' and was interested in them beyond imagination. Wanting to learn everything about them he grabbed every book he could find about the 'other half' of the old kind. Fascinated by them he learned about the war that had raged, the souls that had been lost in the war. He wanted to learn everything he could about the old kind. But books only hold limited knowlege. After reading everybook there was he didn't know what to do next. After that he grew up to be a young adult and forgot about his interest in the old kind. In time he marely thought of it has a 'hindrance' in his studies.
Then when Dan was 15 he learned from his elders that the 'seals' of the underworld had been broken. The seal to 'heaven' opened aswell all the 'Guardians' able enough to wage war were send to the 'mortal realm' (Sorry but I read the lore as much as I could and I have no idea if the Guardians and Demons are immortal or not).
After Dan heard that the 'Guardians' were prepared for war, nothing happend. The rumor spread that a mortal human with powers so strong and wicked that the Demons and Guardians had to agree to peace.
When Dan learned of this. His interest in the old kind immediately was sparked once more. Knowing this was his chance he packed everything he could and left. Trying to learn everything he can.
Dan now wanders Ravien in search of knowledge, friends and if possible a mentor.

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.
((OOC: Jacob's body was hanged from the Earl's walls for several years after his death, keeping Jacob's soul trapped in Alteran for several years until it was finally cut loose and laid to rest, promptly being replaced by a new victim of the Earls tyranny))

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.

How do you respond?: “What? Ok I guess…” Knowing the evidence is against me I jump off of the docks and swim to shore. I run to the house of JG having been careful no one was following. After many hours have passed I will go to the guardsmen barracks fully armored and demand justification on behalf of me being the Grand Cleric, though foolishly enough forgetting I am not in my kingdom and therefore being taken into custody.

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.
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.

Backstory (3 Paragraph minimum, proper grammar and spacing required):
I was born and raised in the dark mines of the dwarven cities, and never knew my mother. My father, a dwarven miner, always told me she was as beautiful as bird song itself. Things in the mine weren't the best place for a child, but i managed fine enough until my father passed. The gas explosion had tore through the mine but my father sheltered me with his body and took the majority of the damage. My arm and leg never healed properly though.
From then on i lived on my own scavenging what i could from dustbins and alley ways. I always had a thing for death. Everywhere i went death seemed to follow, so naturaly i adapted to it. Learnt the way of the shadows, even got some friends on the way. 4 wolf cubs out in the wild there mother was killed by poachers, needless to say they didnt live past a day or 2 after that.
I moved to a Human city in search of my mother. I was quite wealthy then, working for the darkness. Needless to say it didnt work for very long as I was imprisoned for a long time. But my skills were soon recognised in the arena, by the captain of the guardians. He recruited me into the guild and since then i have thrived with my 4 (now fully grown) wolves, in the human cities. I am desperate for adventure.

I had a good childhood, I developed all kinds of skills, I learned how to cook food and make bread, as it was my mothers profession. Whilst in my younger years I stayed at home with my mother making food for my father and brothers, after they would return from mining. When I showed that I had a great amount of strength, my father immedietly got me ready for my first mining expedition. In the later years of my childhood, I spent my days deep underground with my father and brothers, mining all day and seperating the more valuable ores to the less valuable. Life couldn't get much better. Except, one day my brothers and I returned to the surface to see a group of Elves with savage dogs heading towards our house. The closest weapon I found was a pick axe, so I quickly grabbed it and sprinted towards the Elves. I can't remember what happened when I got there, but all I can remember is a group of dead Elves and wolves gathered around me. A number of the local townsfolk saw what had happened and I developed the name Fury. Many of the locals reported me to the Town Guard, but they took no notice. I think if I would have had the chance to join the army I would have taken it straight away. The years went passed and I left home at the age of 16. I quickly began to make a living by using the skills taught to me many years ago. I have a shop that sells food and mining goods, and it is very successful. It has earned me enough money to have a mansion built, with a private mine underneath it, and a shop built into the side. Today I am a very wealthy business man, and I have a thriving business selling food and mining resources.

If you have not moved within the given time I will rip you limb to limb with my pick axe. There may be 7 of you with swords, but I developed the name Fury from killing more than you at one time. I do not care for whom you serve but I promise you one thing, I serve the Dwarven King as a miner and supplier for his glorious army. I am one of the best in my profession. I would advice moving quickly as at the clap of my hands I will have a full garrison of Dwarven Soldiers sailing into your harbour, and reducing many people's life expectancy."........"Good choice, now I'll be on my way."

Drake runs up bloking their attacks and stabs the threw the heart.Drake runs up to the captain and holds his sword to his neck. Drake says never to cross his path again and puts his sword away and continus on with his journey.
Right off the bat: You need at least three paragraphs of backstory and even then if it isn't clear enough to give us an idea of what the character is like, we ask that you redo it. Now, What I'm going to ask of you is this:
Expand your backstory! You can do this by adding in small details, explaining things like what you did on your farm, what type of swordsmanship you learned, the number of demons, was the marriage before or after you came to Ravien, etcedera. Maybe throw in a few sentences about how you got to the demons to slaughter them. Fluff can help, if it is good fluff.
How'd you get to Ravien? Ravien is a soul hub, and while you can be born into Ravien, it is more appropriate to detail a characters death leading them to come to Ravien in the afterlife. Being an elf, you were likely born under the great mother tree.
Your RP application: Maybe add some dialog to it, rather than simply rushing up to kill the guards. If you don't try to talk to an agressor and manage to deflect every attack and return blows effieciently, it makes you seem as a powergamer. Maybe detail what kind of blocks you used, and any other details you would like for your character to display during combat rather than (block all/stab win).
Looking forward to reading your edited application and wishing you luck.
(P.S. to everybody who has been speaking with me on the forums up to now, I passed my test! I am now an official Ravien Whitelister:D)
From now on I will adress any applications that Emokitten has not already viewed, if you have any specific questions about your application and the summary doesnt get the message across don't be afraid to ask. Looking forward to serving you all and the server.
And now, my first forums emote as a celebration of success: Wooden Hoe!

Character Name:Fraknar Stoneforge
Age:57
Sex (Male/Female/Androgynous/Transgender):Male
Backstory (3 Paragraph minimum, proper grammar and spacing required):I was a general of the Dwarve army but my main interest 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 really 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.When I was general of the army It was the strongest army in the world, no other army in the world can beat them not even all the armys combined could take that strong to the max army. I know that is trash talk but it is the truth all I am saying is that Dwarve army equals all the othera combined so bring it on Demon SCUM!!
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 daily 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, and I say something to pray.That time when he thinks to himself"I wonder if they are still alive the the demons go and take the Dwarven town over, and the dwarves are now noot even existing, or are they slaves, or are they all safe and still the strongest faction of all of them in the whole world even stronger then the grown man by two times." So he prays to make sure everyone is still alright and going good "Amen"
Now I am going to tell you what my goal is now since I got out of the Netherl as a Demon. I am trying to find my son if he is alive and hoping the army will not come and try to kill me I can not stand the Nether, and again it was hard enough getting out once.I hopeIi 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 possible. I am a very friendly but some times it gets over me and I just go crazy i really cant help it. I hope to reach my goal and find my family without being harmed by anyone or any army there is now.If he can ever get back to the place he will go and find everyone he had knew before he had died in the Demon Vs. Dwarves War. He knew what happened was going to happen getting cought by a human or the army and they would try and lock him up and not let him go anywhere in the whole world to find his friends and family. I plan on returning to Ravien, to find my family, and prosper.

Alright, I like your application but there are two issues here:
Your grammar and spelling need ALOT of work, no offense intended here.
The concept of becoming a demon in 'hell' is interesting, but you should say nether instead. Using the term 'hell' references other demon lore that is not Ravien's supported lore. There is a process that the demons use to turn other races into demons, but it is a willing process. However, under the idea that this occurred during the old war and you are just now escaping the nether through a portal, I will accept this.
All you need to do here is fix your grammar and spelling. Once you do that you'll be accepted.

Alright there's not much wrong with this except that there isn't enough of it. Applications have a minimum of three paragraphs which are expected to give us a clear picture of your characters behaviors and goals, as well as their capabilities. Any extra material is always encouraged, as it gives us a better idea of you characters personality. Give it another go and I'll take a look at it.
Also: You have to fill out the RP example. This is important because it shows us an example of how your character handles a semi-aggressive situation. When you redo your application please include the example with your response.

IC (In-Character Application) Character Name: Dan (last name?) Sepultra
Age: 17
Sex (Male/Female/Androgynous/Transgender): Male
Backstory (3 Paragraph minimum, proper grammar and spacing required):
Ever since he was a little boy Dan was always trying to learn about the old kind.
Dan grew up to be a normal boy having a normal life. He had friends, a family and he was schooled.
After awhile Dan learned of the 'Demons' and was interested in them beyond imagination. Wanting to learn everything about them he grabbed every book he could find about the 'other half' of the old kind. Fascinated by them he learned about the war that had raged, the souls that had been lost in the war. He wanted to learn everything he could about the old kind. But books only hold limited knowlege. After reading everybook there was he didn't know what to do next. After that he grew up to be a young adult and forgot about his interest in the old kind. In time he marely thought of it has a 'hindrance' in his studies.
Then when Dan was 15 he learned from his elders that the 'seals' of the underworld had been broken. The seal to 'heaven' opened aswell all the 'Guardians' able enough to wage war were send to the 'mortal realm' (Sorry but I read the lore as much as I could and I have no idea if the Guardians and Demons are immortal or not).
After Dan heard that the 'Guardians' were prepared for war, nothing happend. The rumor spread that a mortal human with powers so strong and wicked that the Demons and Guardians had to agree to peace.
When Dan learned of this. His interest in the old kind immediately was sparked once more. Knowing this was his chance he packed everything he could and left. Trying to learn everything he can.
Dan now wanders Ravien in search of knowledge, friends and if possible a mentor.
Profession/Intended Class: I'm sorry if I overlooked something but I couldn't see a list of classes I could chose from so I'll just think of one my own. Paladin if not possible. Healer, or whatever is close to that.
What is your intended race?: Guardian
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?: I'm sorry but I have never even heard of such a name. I just came here by boat. And if this 'Sir Raleigh' you speak of is an Earl in Ravien. Then that would be impossible. I have yet to learn how to kill from miles away on a boat. Now please move away and come back when you have your facts right.
When he said your backstory needs expansion he means that even though you have three paragraphs, you don't cover enough information about your character to give us a good idea what he will be doing on the server.
You also have some lore conflicts here: The realms were not classified as 'mortal' and 'hell', (That would be drawing upon more traditional christian lore, implying that guardians were meant to be angels, etc. That is not Raviens lore.) The Guardians were never sealed away, and the demons were not sealed until AFTER the great war. (The all-powerful 'mortal' (I airquote this because all of the races are mortal) May be referring to the first archmage who helped end the great war. (The demons later were able to return to Ravien when the seal was broken by Mage experiments)
Having read your application I am unsure how to classify your character; Were you born as a guardian in ravien or are you trying to make a character who is another race that aspires to become a guardian? (keep in mind that the guardians are a race all their own, though it is not impossible for them to accept members of other races.) Because of this I would ask that you specify how you came to be in ravien (did you die as a certain race and come in through the shrouded gate, are you a demon that came in through a nether portal, or were you a guardian/elf that was born into ravien?).
And finally, we need you to expand your backstory by putting in anything else that would give a general outline of your character's personality, goals, and abilities. (Abilities are usually outlined in the RP example, be they persuasion, combat, or fleeing examples)
P.S. I would appreciate if you went back and reread the original post to get more familiar with the lore.
Looking forward to seeing your next attempt!

.... Wait what? This doesn't come close to meeting our requirements. For starters, we'll need at least three paragraphs and the RP example filled out. These three paragraphs must convey a clear picture of your characters behavior, potential skill, and goals they may have. It is encouraged to have more than the minimum as that shows us even more of what your character is like. You have exceeded our spelling and grammar errors maximum in just two sentences. (Not capitalizing your I's counts against you, I'm afraid. if it had been just one or two in a larger application I could have written it off as missing the shift key.)
If by the off chance you are serious about trying to apply, please reapply with at least the minimum requirements.

My father, a dwarven miner, always told me she was as beautiful as bird song itself. Things in the mine weren't the best place for a child, but i managed fine enough until my father passed. The gas explosion had tore through the mine but my father sheltered me with his body and took the majority of the damage. My arm and leg never healed properly though. From then on i lived on my own scavenging what i could from dustbins and alley ways. I always had a thing for death. Everywhere i went death seemed to follow, so naturaly i adapted to it. Learnt the way of the shadows, even got some friends on the way. 4 wolf cubs out in the wild there mother was killed by poachers, needless to say they didnt live past a day or 2 after that. I moved to a Human city in search of my mother. I was quite wealthy then, working for the darkness. Needless to say it didnt work for very long as I was imprisoned for a long time. But my skills were soon recognised in the arena, by the captain of the guardians. He recruited me into the guild and since then i have thrived with my 4 (now fully grown) wolves, in the human cities. I am desperate for adventure. Alignment : I am both orderly and instinctive. I value community and group identity, defining myself by the social group I am a part of. At best, I'm selfless and strong-willed; at worst, I'm psychotic and mindless. Profession/Intended Class: Miner, As my father was.

"Sick 'em boys" As my wolves pounce at there throats i tip my hat to a passer by taking great pleasure in her distraught look.
How else can i expand?
Try to organize your application a bit and fix your grammar errors, Abbreviations are sometimes acceptable but it isn't too far of a stretch to write out the word 'two' instead of using the number.
Any amount of backgraound expansion would be encouraged, but the main issue here is your application seems to spit out simple, unorganized statements. Maybe tell us why your character was out in the wilds where you encountered the cubs, just any details to link your events together.

Sex (Male/Female/Androgynous/Transgender): Male
Backstory (3 Paragraph minimum, proper grammar and spacing required):
Back in the days of the great wars, he was at the commands of the paladins. But, having fallen into a necromancer's hands, was turned against his own troops. Later taken back by the paladins, since he was an important captain, they tried to turn him back into a human, they partly failed, he is now undead with his previous human mind.
He refuses to take his helmet off, afraid of what people might think of him, he still commands troops to this day. Even if the clerics assured the paladins that Theodoric was on their side for sure, the paladins still kept him under surveilance. Over the years, Theodoric's thoughts grew darker and darker, thinking necromancy could be used for good, not just for evil. The clerics thought it was insanity, so they tried to capture him and put him in the dungeons. They did so, but he didn't stay in there for long, he escaped, killing all clerics in his way.
Now, he's just a wandering soldier, exiled from his homeland, looking for a new home, new friends and a new leader. He recently found the Kingdom of Ravien, thinking this might be a good opportunity, he heads there and hopes to build his new life there.

Although attention was good for the town not all of it was for Sir Element Wolf. With his swordsmanship he managed to defeat a lot of trouble, even at a young age. Finally when it came to leave his hometown he set out with his friends, especially his friend Scott, a natural archer.
Sir Element Wolf recently became a knight on a quest to find the person who was hunting him and stop him from doing so, from what he little he remembers. After being ambushed countless times and making it to the castle in which he found to be the source of the attacks set on capturing him he found it to be not only fake but also a cleverly thought through and advanced castle of traps that eventually ended with him being killed by being overrun by many enemies.
Now in Ravien he is trying to continue to combat for good. He spends his time exploring the world of Ravien and learning knowledge of all kinds. Although he does not remember much of his past he does remember Scott and hopes he is doing well since Scott was able to escape the castle unharmed. He also continues to train his skills and learn new ones as he learns more and more about this new world of Ravien.

How do you respond?: I immediately realize this is a serious matter but, when I look at the group that stands before me, I notice they do not bear the Guards symbol, a blue and silver dragon. "Who sent you?" I ask puzzled. " Who we work for is none of your business. Now come with us before we have to use force." "But it is much of my business, after all i happen to be the one that is being taken into custody here." I say jokingly. At that moment I hear noise behind me on the wooden dock. An ambush. As i go to turn around three arrows come flying past each one making a direct hit on the swords being drawn behind me. The swords hit the ground with a wood on metal clang as i turn to see the three men shocked unable to comprehend what just happened. "Good shot Scott!" I say waving up to Leviathan's crows nest. Two men and two women all suited for battle come running out of the ship and capture the men behind me. "Heads up!" I hear from what seems to be behind me. With them subdued I quickly shift my attention back to the men who stand in front of me, one who is charging at me with amazing speed. I take out my sword and deflect his strike putting my foot out at the same time into the path of my enemy. He looses grip on his sword and he hits my foot flying a few meters into the cold, calm water lurking below. Finally the last two started to head my way. I grabbed the sword laying on the ground and use it, along with my own, to deflect the two oncoming attacks. Scott fires a few more arrows right in front of the two remaining men. With the moment of hesitation cause by the sudden fire I disarm the two men with one swift movement. Finally me and my friends defeat and capture all of the ambushing enemies and take them to the nearest town to be dealt with and we continue on to find out who exactly sent that ambush to capture me.
1.4 broke alot of things, we're getting a new map with some different features. Ravien is currently two maps and two worlds, It will end up with one map one world. Or so I'm told. Also, the lore is getting an overhaul, everything is going to be specified and made easily accessible. should be ready in about a month. any other questions about it I'd direct to emokitten as he is an actual admin.
that would be a question for golgotha, but the admin team has a pretty good handle on that so far. I'm going play it safe and say 'no'.
I really can't comment on it other than that, because I'm not an admin, mod, consultant, whitelister, or anything else. just a player.

Maybe throw in a few sentences about how you got to the demons to slaughter them. Fluff can help, if it is good fluff.
How'd you get to Ravien? Ravien is a soul hub, and while you can be born into Ravien, it is more appropriate to detail a characters death leading them to come to Ravien in the afterlife. Being an elf, you were likely born under the great mother tree.
Your RP application: Maybe add some dialog to it, rather than simply rushing up to kill the guards. If you don't try to talk to an agressor and manage to deflect every attack and return blows effieciently, it makes you seem as a powergamer. Maybe detail what kind of blocks you used, and any other details you would like for your character to display during combat rather than (block all/stab win).
Looking forward to reading your edited application and wishing you luck.

Character Name:Fraknar Stoneforge
Age:57
Sex (Male/Female/Androgynous/Transgender):Male
Backstory (3 Paragraph minimum, proper grammar and spacing required):I was a general of the Dwarve army but my main interest 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 really 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.When I was general of the army It was the strongest army in the world, no other army in the world can beat them not even all the armys combined could take that strong to the max army. I know that is trash talk but it is the truth all I am saying is that Dwarve army equals all the othera combined so bring it on Demon SCUM!!
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 daily 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, and I say something to pray.That time when he thinks to himself"I wonder if they are still alive the the demons go and take the Dwarven town over, and the dwarves are now noot even existing, or are they slaves, or are they all safe and still the strongest faction of all of them in the whole world even stronger then the grown man by two times." So he prays to make sure everyone is still alright and going good "Amen"
Now I am going to tell you what my goal is now since I got out of the Netherl as a Demon. I am trying to find my son if he is alive and hoping the army will not come and try to kill me I can not stand the Nether, and again it was hard enough getting out once.I hopeIi 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 possible. I am a very friendly but some times it gets over me and I just go crazy i really cant help it. I hope to reach my goal and find my family without being harmed by anyone or any army there is now.If he can ever get back to the place he will go and find everyone he had knew before he had died in the Demon Vs. Dwarves War. He knew what happened was going to happen getting cought by a human or the army and they would try and lock him up and not let him go anywhere in the whole world to find his friends and family. I plan on returning to Ravien, to find my family, and prosper.

What is your RP Name? Joe Zucabr
What is your backstory? Joe is an explorer, mapmaker, and alchemist who values freedom above all else. He comes from Drakenfang, a cold unforgiving mountain at the northern end of reality. In Drakenfang, all humans were slaves to the Draconians, a race of dragon-men. He never knew any parents, but a kind Draconian girl from the fortress town called Indiana bought him and allowed him to work for his freedom. He had finally earned his freedom, and by law he should have been allowed to leave, but no human had become free before, and the Draconians thought that a free human might incite rebellion, so they captured him and threw him off the edge of the world.... When he woke up, he was in a strange land, finally free and ready to explore.
Have you ever been banned? What for? I have never been banned from a server before.

Alright, I like your application but there are two issues here:
Your grammar and spelling need ALOT of work, no offense intended here.
The concept of becoming a demon in 'hell' is interesting, but you should say nether instead. Using the term 'hell' references other demon lore that is not Ravien's supported lore. There is a process that the demons use to turn other races into demons, but it is a willing process. However, under the idea that this occurred during the old war and you are just now escaping the nether through a portal, I will accept this.
All you need to do here is fix your grammar and spelling. Once you do that you'll be accepted.
Denied- Needs expansion
Alright there's not much wrong with this except that there isn't enough of it. Applications have a minimum of three paragraphs which are expected to give us a clear picture of your characters behaviors and goals, as well as their capabilities. Any extra material is always encouraged, as it gives us a better idea of you characters personality. Give it another go and I'll take a look at it.
Also: You have to fill out the RP example. This is important because it shows us an example of how your character handles a semi-aggressive situation. When you redo your application please include the example with your response.
looking forward to reading it.
When he said your backstory needs expansion he means that even though you have three paragraphs, you don't cover enough information about your character to give us a good idea what he will be doing on the server.
You also have some lore conflicts here: The realms were not classified as 'mortal' and 'hell', (That would be drawing upon more traditional christian lore, implying that guardians were meant to be angels, etc. That is not Raviens lore.) The Guardians were never sealed away, and the demons were not sealed until AFTER the great war. (The all-powerful 'mortal' (I airquote this because all of the races are mortal) May be referring to the first archmage who helped end the great war. (The demons later were able to return to Ravien when the seal was broken by Mage experiments)
Having read your application I am unsure how to classify your character; Were you born as a guardian in ravien or are you trying to make a character who is another race that aspires to become a guardian? (keep in mind that the guardians are a race all their own, though it is not impossible for them to accept members of other races.) Because of this I would ask that you specify how you came to be in ravien (did you die as a certain race and come in through the shrouded gate, are you a demon that came in through a nether portal, or were you a guardian/elf that was born into ravien?).
And finally, we need you to expand your backstory by putting in anything else that would give a general outline of your character's personality, goals, and abilities. (Abilities are usually outlined in the RP example, be they persuasion, combat, or fleeing examples)
P.S. I would appreciate if you went back and reread the original post to get more familiar with the lore.
Looking forward to seeing your next attempt!
The server is down for a little while today by the owners discretion. It should come back up soon.
Denied- Are you trolling? Expand, expand, expand!
.... Wait what? This doesn't come close to meeting our requirements. For starters, we'll need at least three paragraphs and the RP example filled out. These three paragraphs must convey a clear picture of your characters behavior, potential skill, and goals they may have. It is encouraged to have more than the minimum as that shows us even more of what your character is like. You have exceeded our spelling and grammar errors maximum in just two sentences. (Not capitalizing your I's counts against you, I'm afraid. if it had been just one or two in a larger application I could have written it off as missing the shift key.)
If by the off chance you are serious about trying to apply, please reapply with at least the minimum requirements.
-diamonddylan
I'll take a look and if it's up to par I'll post your acceptance here.
Alright you still have a few errors, but you are within our standards. Looking forward to seeing how your character handles the vast changes in the world since his imprisonment in the nether. From this moment on you are officially
Accepted!
Though I will ask that you keep grammar and spelling in mind while you are on the server. Have fun on Ravien!
(p.s. The server is back online within the next couple of hours. If it comes up really soon I will post it.
Congrats on being my first accepted applicant!
Work on your grammar a bit more, and try to give a better outline of your character. Plenty of spelling errors in this that need to be fixed.
Try to organize your application a bit and fix your grammar errors, Abbreviations are sometimes acceptable but it isn't too far of a stretch to write out the word 'two' instead of using the number.
Any amount of backgraound expansion would be encouraged, but the main issue here is your application seems to spit out simple, unorganized statements. Maybe tell us why your character was out in the wilds where you encountered the cubs, just any details to link your events together.
I was approved as a whitelister yesterday. I still haven't heard anything on your greifing ban, though if I do get any information on it I will let you know through PM.

Character Name: Sir Theodoric
Age: 24
Sex (Male/Female/Androgynous/Transgender): Male
Backstory (3 Paragraph minimum, proper grammar and spacing required):
Back in the days of the great wars, he was at the commands of the paladins. But, having fallen into a necromancer's hands, was turned against his own troops. Later taken back by the paladins, since he was an important captain, they tried to turn him back into a human, they partly failed, he is now undead with his previous human mind.
He refuses to take his helmet off, afraid of what people might think of him, he still commands troops to this day. Even if the clerics assured the paladins that Theodoric was on their side for sure, the paladins still kept him under surveilance. Over the years, Theodoric's thoughts grew darker and darker, thinking necromancy could be used for good, not just for evil. The clerics thought it was insanity, so they tried to capture him and put him in the dungeons. They did so, but he didn't stay in there for long, he escaped, killing all clerics in his way.
Now, he's just a wandering soldier, exiled from his homeland, looking for a new home, new friends and a new leader. He recently found the Kingdom of Ravien, thinking this might be a good opportunity, he heads there and hopes to build his new life there.

Character Name:Sir Element Wolf
Age:24
Sex (Male/Female/Androgynous/Transgender):Male
Backstory (3 Paragraph minimum, proper grammar and spacing required): Sir Element Wolf was told to be a natural in the area of swordsmanship which brought much attention to the little town of which he was from. Although attention was good for the town not all of it was for Sir Element Wolf. With his swordsmanship he managed to defeat a lot of trouble, even at a young age. Finally when it came to leave his hometown he set out with his friends, especially his friend Scott, a natural archer.
Sir Element Wolf recently became a knight on a quest to find the person who was hunting him and stop him from doing so, from what he little he remembers. After being ambushed countless times and making it to the castle in which he found to be the source of the attacks set on capturing him he found it to be not only fake but also a cleverly thought through and advanced castle of traps that eventually ended with him being killed by being overrun by many enemies.
Now in Ravien he is trying to continue to combat for good. He spends his time exploring the world of Ravien and learning knowledge of all kinds. Although he does not remember much of his past he does remember Scott and hopes he is doing well since Scott was able to escape the castle unharmed. He also continues to train his skills and learn new ones as he learns more and more about this new world of Ravien.

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?: I immediately realize this is a serious matter but, when I look at the group that stands before me, I notice they do not bear the Guards symbol, a blue and silver dragon. "Who sent you?" I ask puzzled. " Who we work for is none of your business. Now come with us before we have to use force." "But it is much of my business, after all i happen to be the one that is being taken into custody here." I say jokingly. At that moment I hear noise behind me on the wooden dock. An ambush. As i go to turn around three arrows come flying past each one making a direct hit on the swords being drawn behind me. The swords hit the ground with a wood on metal clang as i turn to see the three men shocked unable to comprehend what just happened. "Good shot Scott!" I say waving up to Leviathan's crows nest. Two men and two women all suited for battle come running out of the ship and capture the men behind me. "Heads up!" I hear from what seems to be behind me. With them subdued I quickly shift my attention back to the men who stand in front of me, one who is charging at me with amazing speed. I take out my sword and deflect his strike putting my foot out at the same time into the path of my enemy. He looses grip on his sword and he hits my foot flying a few meters into the cold, calm water lurking below. Finally the last two started to head my way. I grabbed the sword laying on the ground and use it, along with my own, to deflect the two oncoming attacks. Scott fires a few more arrows right in front of the two remaining men. With the moment of hesitation cause by the sudden fire I disarm the two men with one swift movement. Finally me and my friends defeat and capture all of the ambushing enemies and take them to the nearest town to be dealt with and we continue on to find out who exactly sent that ambush to capture me.
