Dalencourt - What is it?
Dalencourt is a revitalization of a previously successful sorcery-based RP server. The concept is pretty simple in terms of gameplay - standard survival minecraft, however we aim for a thriving economy as well as heavy role-playing elements dictating everything else. We also will be having scheduled events to further the overall storyline. However, there is ALWAYS room for your character's line in a side-story! How do we hope to accomplish this? Keep reading through the rules to get a better idea of what the server is all about
Lore - Server Backstory
For ages, lands across the realm boasted armies, brotherhoods and guilds of highly-respected sorcerers. These magic-wielders came in many forms depends upon the land from which they hailed. Some of these men and women fought to protect their land; some for honor. While the rare breed would seek this lifestyle for the fame and glory, others sought it out for a more devious purpose; power, destruction. Greed and fortune did not tame the aggressive attitude of some breeds of darker magics.
While the age of magic was indeed thriving, it wouldn't take but a single nightfall to change the course of history. In what seemed like a blink, and an eternity all in the same, sorcerers all around the world were being stripped of their power, humiliated in the heart of their towns, and excommunicated from their homelands. Every individual across the lands seemed to have their livelihoods and their luscious pool of knowledge forcefully taken away from them.
Please put "a pillow doesn't count" in your application. Skipping the lore is an automatic denial with no retry on application. Sorry to be strict, but we need patient, detail-oriented players willing to commit to the story.
What next? Where do we go? Small bands of brothers and sisters would travel the lands together, searching for refuge. While some archetypes of sorcerers were keen with a blade, others focused strictly on their studies; these wizards did not last long in the wild. The murmur of the magic-wielding community was that our strength was not gone! It was merely dispensed back to the heart of the lands. All over the realm, spellbooks lay in the grass, hidden in the jungle, resting under water, and shrouded in the darkness of caves and chasms.
This was not the only word spreading like a plague. A new town, a new society is building. We ought to seek it out, perhaps the members of this new magic brotherhood will know where to begin. Where to look...to rebuild the knowledge of Dalencourt.
Server Specifics - How it all Works
MagicSpells is the main plugin we use here. You use a blaze rod as a wand, however the nether is closed - you cannot make your own. We want your wand to be sacred and something that you will curse yourself for losing. An "Admin Shop" has been set up in the main town that sells wands for $1,000. Don't worry, you start out with $1,500. You right-click to scroll through your spells, and left-click to cast. Spells will cost Mana, and sometimes reagents (i.e. you need 2 bones to summon your minion). This is how we plan to boost the economy a bit - every item will have some kind of worth to someone!
Economy Specifics
We use CookieMonster as a stand-in for "Mob Bounty" or "Mob Bounty Reloaded." Those don't seem to play well with 1.6.1 at the moment. In any case, it will reward you with money upon killing mobs. FAIR WARNING - most spells, when killing mobs, will not grant you a reward. You need to land the killing blow with a physical strike. Some (like your beginning skill, "Pain") will work. You can earn money by setting up ChestShops. Here is a link to how to use chestshops if you are not aware already: http://dev.bukkit.or...gins/chestshop/
Aside from ChestShops, you are welcome to use the /pay system to do manual trades of goods, of course. On top of that, we utilize OnTime to reward players for their play time! Every 30 minutes, you will be rewarded $50.00. I will incorporate more rewards later (i.e. hitting the 8 hour mark yields a set of iron armor or something, etc.). You can check your running total of time (as well as this session's time) with /ontime. If you're logged in for 29 minutes, that's okay! It's a running total...so you'll get your reward after 1 minute next login. AFK time does not count towards your reward.
How Do I Learn More Spells?
Here's the bread and butter, "How do I learn more spells?!" This is where we separate the men from the boys (and women from the girls, to be fair). Spellbooks are hidden ALL OVER Dalencourt...you just have to find them. Some are easy to find, and some are near impossible to find. The harder spells to find, go figure, are more powerful. Some require you to know a spell in order to reach the hiding spot. When you stumble upon this:
You simply right-click on the bookcase, and viola, you now know the spell. The bookcases have an unlimited number of times it can teach someone a spell, so feel free to guide your comrades to spellbooks you have discovered. WORD OF CAUTION - posting spellbook locations on the forum will be a serious problem. Not necessarily a ban, as we will try to be understanding of your level of commitment to the server.

Whitelisters, Mods, Admins, and Owner
In order to ease the burden of administration, I have broken up permissions into the following groups:
Whitelister - ability to whitelist people, remove from whitelist, and change peoples' nicknames.
Moderator - inherits Whitelister permissions, as well as the ability to ban/unban, kick and temp ban players for a certain amount of time.
Administrator - inherits Moderator permissions, and can also perform administrative tasks (i.e. chestshop issues, resolve destruction matters, and in very rare circumstances, spawn items for griefed players.)
Owner - inherits Administrator permissions, and has control of the server console.
I am a very busy guy, I work in Cyber Security, so as many of you know...this is a demanding and high-stress field. I work a lot, but I am always in front of a computer. If something goes wrong, I can remote in back home and fix whatever's wrong. As such, delegating some of these tasks will keep the server running smoother...and will not depend on me being online!
Enough chatter...let's get to the application:

Well I need to get my own character profile out there for everyone, so yup. Here an app just to be fair:
IGN (In-Game Name): Squirmles256 Your Age (you will never get turned down for your age): 24 Character Name: Balroth Character Home Land (fantasy, not "UK" or "USA" please!): Ralenfal Character Profile:
The cold iron beneath the back of his legs wasn't always comfortable, but it was always something he was willing to sacrifice so he could see the Templars march in formation. Sitting atop his father's armor-clad shoulders was a frequent occurrence as a child, but what came at a higher frequency was how many questions Balroth asked about the marching mages. By his third time watching them parade down the streets as a child, he was certain; he would done the silver-and-orange metal garb when he was right of age.
Upon his 14th winter, Balroth enlisted in this fraternity of armor-clad, blade-wielding sorcerers. His 10-year journey to find self-worth and his purpose went smoothly. He would typically lie to his friends claiming all forms of hardships and tribulations, however he was fortunate; he was born to do this. He was not, by far the most gifted of his rankings, but he had enough vigor to stand on his own and make a name for himself. The ability to wield a short staff-like scepter and blade all at once astounded many, but he just saw this training as overdue. Many-a-night he thanked the Gods for his fortune.
One dark evening, everything changed. One minute, Balroth was sleeping cozily in his chambers, and the next he is being dragged out of bed...attempting to get his hands on something - his wand, a blade, a piece of armor; anything. Wrenching and thrashing through the town, his brow narrowed heavily at what he could see: all of his Templar brothers experiencing the same fate. At least two soldiers carrying and binding the sorcerers. After a minute's journey, he had been taken to his destination; the roar of the crowd was maddening, something he would never forget. Hundreds of Templar lay piled upon one another, perfectly alive and well, however bound with ties and shackles. Though not tied to anything grounded, soldiers of Ralenfal were keeping them in place by blade-point. With a loud thud, he was merely tossed upon the pile and felt his elbow strike the nose of another. His apology was quickly met with inquiry about the circumstances.
What was happening? Why were we bound, and where is the sanity about throwing your land's most prized warriors hopelessly into a pile? It then became obvious; the smell of smoke. They intended to burn us all alive.
Panic immediately set in. The Templars begun shouting threats, attempts at curses, but nothing worked. Balroth, being level-headed, began to softly chant words in a foreign tongue. As soldiers laid down their torches, the flames began to build. The cries of agony drowned out the soft chanting, until others began joining in recognizing the ancient language. A rhythmic chant broke out by the Templars as a soft orange glow surrounded the pile of live, and now increasingly dead, bodies. By this point, the base level of Templars had already met their fate...it wouldn't be long until the fire reached his own defenseless body. The men and women were cheering, but the children were crying. Perhaps they knew the truth?
As some moans and cries for help began to fade, others would emerge as the flames climbed higher and higher. The soft orange glow grew until it peaked into a blinding flash of light, and in an instant, the pile of bodies was gone. A group-channeling teleportation spell had allowed them to escape from the city. Everyone had been thankful in their teachings of wandless spell casting in times of need. Upon landing on Ralenfal's outskirts, the smell was nauseating; charred remains of friends - a scent no Templar ever wishes to come by. Not many survived, and everyone seemed weak, as if everything they had worked for had been stripped from them. All of the Templars rallied to fight back to the city, however Balroth knew that without their wands, they didn't stand a chance. Balroth defected from the group after an attempt to change their minds. To no avail, he watched his comrades march to their death. As the last Templar, he decided to seek refuge elsewhere. Perhaps other sorcerers were experiencing the same trauma. He would journey into the lands of Dalencourt in search of food, shelter, and answers.
How often are you typically online?: Usually evenings as I have a career. Usually later (between 6pm and 1am). What intrigues you most about this server?: That (hopefully) the server will run itself! And a pillow doesn't count, of course. Do you have any suggestions about what you might like to see?: More things to stimulate/encourage the economy.
Whitelist Application IGN (In-Game Name):Fail_NNJA Your Age (you will never get turned down for your age):13 Character Name:Zectix Character Home land (fantasy, not "UK" or "USA" please!):Windhelm Character Profile:
Zectix was always an unusual child. He never had many friends and his father was always away at war. His journey began when he was just 12 years old when his village was attacked by the imperials. He watched as his mother was slain while trying to protect him. He escaped with just a sword, old clothes, and a heart full of rage. He went to all the nearby villages gathering anyone who would follow him into battle.
Although they would never stand a chance they scoured across the land to find the imperials. Finally, after 2 months of long and vigorous searching, they saw the huge red, yellow ,and brown flag with the Raven insignia flying high above a massive fortress. The walls were 30 feet tall and incircled the kingdom. There were at least 30 guards at the main gate and hundreds of archers all along the walls. Zectix confronted his leading soldier and asked if there was a way they could get in. This resulted in the use of military tactics. His army was only 150 men strong but they were willing to fight. Zectix ordered 50 of his men to cause a distraction at the main gate so the rest could scale the walls.
50 of his men charged with there shields held high and a battle cry that ran throughout the kingdom. This drew the attention of all the guards and most of the archers. The rest of his men ran for walls with ladders. As he ran he glanced over to see his men surrounded but still fighting vigorously to keep there attention away from everyone else. He couldn't stand by and watch them die ,so he told his men what to do and him and 5 other men charged at the imperials.
They smashed there way through the imperials while slashing at the rest. Then found themselves in the middle of the fighting. Every time he looked to see who was left there were less and less of his man alive. Just when he couldn't fight anymore he heard a horn amidst the fighting. This could only mean that his men were successful and took the kingdom. He looked around to find himself surrounded by archers and guards. Just as he was about to except his fate a familiar sound rang around the valley. The battlecry of rage fueled men ready to fight. Just then, a whole army smashed into the men surrounding him.
A familiar person stood above him and reached out his hand. He couldn't believe his eyes! His own father saved him. After the battle was over and all the prisoners were jailed, his father met with him outside of the kingdom walls. He said he had a surprise for him. He then took his son's hand and began to glow. He felt an unimaginable amount of power surging through his veins. When he could no longer feel his father he looked up to he was gone. Zectix always knew his family had a secret but now he knew he was a powerful person who could do anything with this power.
He chose to learn how to use his power. He then knew that he was gifted the abilities of the Arcane Arts. He chose to scour the lands to find a place where he could use this power to help or teach people how to understand this power.
How often are you typically online?: Basically all day, Every Day What intrigues you most about this server?:The creativity and the medieval concept of the server. Do you have any suggestions about what you might like to see?: Something like schools where people on the server can earn different spells or master a certain kind of spells.
You missed the portion about what to put in your application, but I'm impressed none-the-less with your writing ability at only 13. I hesitate saying only since you seem more mature. I'll whitelist you right now. I have to go out and grab some lunch, but I'll meet you online when I get back in ~ 30 minutes. Free free to explore in the meantime.
Not a problem, always willing to help :). I'm actually out of town today and tomorrow, but I have the server console forwarded to my phone...so I can people to the whitelist or do any other admin tasks from anywhere. I just won't be online as a heads up to everyone.

Your Age (you will never get turned down for your age):12
Character Name: Talon Yorgs
Character Home Land (fantasy, not "UK" or "USA" please!): Northern Asmalmes
Character Profile:
Talon Yorgs was a normal boy at the age of six when his parents, two mages of there village, started to lose
power. Talon did not have much interest in the term "Magic". He was more interested in merchantry. He
would always help out at shops and buissnesses as much as he could. His parents looked down upon him for this,
which would always hurt Talon. He would think "Why dont they support me? What have I done wrong?". As his
parents started to lose power, they grew fustrated and depressed. They would soon lose their job working as
healers of the town.
As of this occurence, they franticly left town at midnight after there powers were compleatly gone, leaving
Talon on his own. There he stood, in the middle of the night, watching his parents go. Fury and sorrow stirred
inside him, and because of this reaction, it seems as out of the blue, things around him started to float into
the air. The table, the silverwere, the pantry food, everything suspended in the air. Then after his fury had
turned into sorrow, everything dropped to the floor. Once that happens, he then notices what he had done. He
had used magic. Of what sort of magic was unclear to him, but it was magic.
For six years after this occurence, he hides this secret and lives in the village on his own. He could not
keep this from knowing forever, and when one day a man stole from his food supply, in front of all of the town
, he took the bread, lifted it with magic, and pelted it at him with fury.(By the way, A pillow doesnt count) The village, now unacustomed to magic, creates a riot and chases him out of town. With no one left, He searches for a new home.
(Sorry about the spelling, if its too bad)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tobias.. A name forgotten to his parents.. A name that once meant greatness, power, humble, a hero. But now it means nothing. No one remembers this man. They barely remember his name. Let alone his last name. He doesn't even know who he was. Why even he can't seem to remember his last name. He only remembered two things. The magic that once ran through his blood and a pillow doesn't count.
One day when Tobias woke up in a cave he lately made a camp in. He was so determined to find out who Tobias really is. Why he can't use the magic he knew was in his blood. He packed up and headed back to the place where he woke up and started to remember those two things. It took him a week to make it there. It was a rough journey. Finding horrible monsters who were really carnivores who tried to make him dinner. By the time he made it back to that place he found a trail what lead in to a town. Once he entered the town he started to ask people but no one would answer him. Some of them would give him a death look or a look of disgust. When he would walk around he started to remember little bits. Like where he lived. Where he cast his first spell. So he thought he would go find his parents. Once he found the house, he was just about to knock on the door when the door opened instantly. The man who opened the door had a sword pointed to Tobias' neck.
He grab on to Tobias' arm and yanked him inside the house. His face flushed with anger and then started to yell at Tobias. "Why are you here!?", Tobias just stared at him with no emotion on his face. But that's when he realized that the man before him is his father. Starstruck, the father realized that Tobias has no memory of nothing so he starts. He starts to talk about how good he was at magic. One of the many prides of this little village. He knew many spells of all sorts of stuff. Particular in ice magic so the village nick named him Frost. But one day the village got a new chief/leader/king/whatever. The chief got jealous with Tobias' magic so he ordered his own mage to go and strip away the power of Tobias. He was striped of all magic or so was it. He really took away his memory but since this mage was not as powerful as Tobias his memory wasn't completely stripped. He was later sentenced to death.
The dad then saved his son when he was going to get burned alive. Wearing a mask the dad brought Tobias all the way out of town where put him down and ran away. When the story was over Tobias looked confused.. happy and a bit angry at this chief. Once he got up from sitting down listening to his dad's story... Everything happened in a blink of a eye. The door broke down and guards swarmed in. The dad yelling at Tobias to run and don't look back. The dad fighting off three guards and then getting a fatal stab to his chest... Tobias barely escaping with his life. Tobias then made a promise to himself stating that when he gets his full memory back and reaches back to his maximum power he shall come back and kill the Chief or he will die trying.
He is a 28 year old mage who is good in many elements in magic. Like frost. He has brown hair and is medium sized. He wears a mage robe with a gem inside of his belt. He is a nice person who doesn't pick a fight unless it's the only way. He is a revenge seeker and does have thoughts to others. He likes nice people. Smart people and hard working people. He hates power hungry fools who seek nothing but new ways to demise people. He hates bullies and when people get jealous just for plain nothing.

~What intrigues you most about this server?: I love the idea that everyone has a chance of having magic. But it's mostly the roleplay.
~Do you have any suggestions about what you might like to see?: A secret library containing some of the most powerful spells and not so powerful but guarded by something more powerful. Like the library from Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Character Homelands: Meadow Island Vevet was a young, peaceful child at the ages of 0-7. He loved to go outside and run around with the sheep and cows. Until one day Meadow Island got invaded by pirates! He lost many valuable things such as gold and iron, but his biggest lost was the life of his grandparents who fought bravely to protect Vevet while his parents had gotten lost when he was 2. Vevet then was alone for a lot of his life, nothing to do but preparing for his revenge by using all the time he had to learn how to master the art of spell casting and flexibility. Then when he was ready he made a boat out of the wood on his Island and set sail to the main land.
Days went by and when he got to the main lands he found the pirates that had killed his grandparents. He used every spell he could but it wasn't enough. The pirates soon over powered him and cornered Vevet. With all the strength he had left, he used leap to jump all the back to the kingdom of Dalencourt. By fighting the pirates, he had forgotten all his spells. Now at the age of 12, Vevet searches all across the land to find every single spell so that he may get his revenge.
How often are you online:About I'd say while playing mine craft in total, 5-8 hours.
What intrigues you most about this server: The magic and how to find it.
Do you have any suggestions about the server:Maybe you could add levels in the game.

Dalencourt - What is it?
Dalencourt is a revitalization of a previously successful sorcery-based RP server. The concept is pretty simple in terms of gameplay - standard survival minecraft, however we aim for a thriving economy as well as heavy role-playing elements dictating everything else. We also will be having scheduled events to further the overall storyline. However, there is ALWAYS room for your character's line in a side-story! How do we hope to accomplish this? Keep reading through the rules to get a better idea of what the server is all about
Lore - Server Backstory
For ages, lands across the realm boasted armies, brotherhoods and guilds of highly-respected sorcerers. These magic-wielders came in many forms depends upon the land from which they hailed. Some of these men and women fought to protect their land; some for honor. While the rare breed would seek this lifestyle for the fame and glory, others sought it out for a more devious purpose; power, destruction. Greed and fortune did not tame the aggressive attitude of some breeds of darker magics.
While the age of magic was indeed thriving, it wouldn't take but a single nightfall to change the course of history. In what seemed like a blink, and an eternity all in the same, sorcerers all around the world were being stripped of their power, humiliated in the heart of their towns, and excommunicated from their homelands. Every individual across the lands seemed to have their livelihoods and their luscious pool of knowledge forcefully taken away from them.
Please put "a pillow doesn't count" in your application. Skipping the lore is an automatic denial with no retry on application. Sorry to be strict, but we need patient, detail-oriented players willing to commit to the story.
What next? Where do we go? Small bands of brothers and sisters would travel the lands together, searching for refuge. While some archetypes of sorcerers were keen with a blade, others focused strictly on their studies; these wizards did not last long in the wild. The murmur of the magic-wielding community was that our strength was not gone! It was merely dispensed back to the heart of the lands. All over the realm, spellbooks lay in the grass, hidden in the jungle, resting under water, and shrouded in the darkness of caves and chasms.
This was not the only word spreading like a plague. A new town, a new society is building. We ought to seek it out, perhaps the members of this new magic brotherhood will know where to begin. Where to look...to rebuild the knowledge of Dalencourt.
Server Specifics - How it all Works
MagicSpells is the main plugin we use here. You use a blaze rod as a wand, however the nether is closed - you cannot make your own. We want your wand to be sacred and something that you will curse yourself for losing. An "Admin Shop" has been set up in the main town that sells wands for $1,000. Don't worry, you start out with $1,500. You right-click to scroll through your spells, and left-click to cast. Spells will cost Mana, and sometimes reagents (i.e. you need 2 bones to summon your minion). This is how we plan to boost the economy a bit - every item will have some kind of worth to someone!
Economy Specifics
We use CookieMonster as a stand-in for "Mob Bounty" or "Mob Bounty Reloaded." Those don't seem to play well with 1.6.1 at the moment. In any case, it will reward you with money upon killing mobs. FAIR WARNING - most spells, when killing mobs, will not grant you a reward. You need to land the killing blow with a physical strike. Some (like your beginning skill, "Pain") will work. You can earn money by setting up ChestShops. Here is a link to how to use chestshops if you are not aware already: http://dev.bukkit.or...gins/chestshop/
Aside from ChestShops, you are welcome to use the /pay system to do manual trades of goods, of course. On top of that, we utilize OnTime to reward players for their play time! Every 30 minutes, you will be rewarded $50.00. I will incorporate more rewards later (i.e. hitting the 8 hour mark yields a set of iron armor or something, etc.). You can check your running total of time (as well as this session's time) with /ontime. If you're logged in for 29 minutes, that's okay! It's a running total...so you'll get your reward after 1 minute next login. AFK time does not count towards your reward.
How Do I Learn More Spells?
Here's the bread and butter, "How do I learn more spells?!" This is where we separate the men from the boys (and women from the girls, to be fair). Spellbooks are hidden ALL OVER Dalencourt...you just have to find them. Some are easy to find, and some are near impossible to find. The harder spells to find, go figure, are more powerful. Some require you to know a spell in order to reach the hiding spot. When you stumble upon this:
You simply right-click on the bookcase, and viola, you now know the spell. The bookcases have an unlimited number of times it can teach someone a spell, so feel free to guide your comrades to spellbooks you have discovered. WORD OF CAUTION - posting spellbook locations on the forum will be a serious problem. Not necessarily a ban, as we will try to be understanding of your level of commitment to the server.

Character Name:Zectix
Character Home land (fantasy, not "UK" or "USA" please!):Windhelm
Character Profile:
Zectix was always an unusual child. He never had many friends and his father was always away at war. His journey began when he was just 12 years old when his village was attacked by the imperials. He watched as his mother was slain while trying to protect him. He escaped with just a sword, old clothes, and a heart full of rage. He went to all the nearby villages gathering anyone who would follow him into battle.
Although they would never stand a chance they scoured across the land to find the imperials. Finally, after 2 months of long and vigorous searching, they saw the huge red, yellow ,and brown flag with the Raven insignia flying high above a massive fortress. The walls were 30 feet tall and incircled the kingdom. There were at least 30 guards at the main gate and hundreds of archers all along the walls. Zectix confronted his leading soldier and asked if there was a way they could get in. This resulted in the use of military tactics. His army was only 150 men strong but they were willing to fight. Zectix ordered 50 of his men to cause a distraction at the main gate so the rest could scale the walls.
50 of his men charged with there shields held high and a battle cry that ran throughout the kingdom. This drew the attention of all the guards and most of the archers. The rest of his men ran for walls with ladders. As he ran he glanced over to see his men surrounded but still fighting vigorously to keep there attention away from everyone else. He couldn't stand by and watch them die ,so he told his men what to do and him and 5 other men charged at the imperials.
They smashed there way through the imperials while slashing at the rest. Then found themselves in the middle of the fighting. Every time he looked to see who was left there were less and less of his man alive. Just when he couldn't fight anymore he heard a horn amidst the fighting. This could only mean that his men were successful and took the kingdom. He looked around to find himself surrounded by archers and guards. Just as he was about to except his fate a familiar sound rang around the valley. The battlecry of rage fueled men ready to fight. Just then, a whole army smashed into the men surrounding him.
A familiar person stood above him and reached out his hand. He couldn't believe his eyes! His own father saved him. After the battle was over and all the prisoners were jailed, his father met with him outside of the kingdom walls. He said he had a surprise for him. He then took his son's hand and began to glow. He felt an unimaginable amount of power surging through his veins. When he could no longer feel his father he looked up to he was gone. Zectix always knew his family had a secret but now he knew he was a powerful person who could do anything with this power.
He chose to learn how to use his power. He then knew that he was gifted the abilities of the Arcane Arts. He chose to scour the lands to find a place where he could use this power to help or teach people how to understand this power.
How often are you typically online?: Basically all day, Every Day
What intrigues you most about this server?:The creativity and the medieval concept of the server.
Do you have any suggestions about what you might like to see?: Something like schools where people on the server can earn different spells or master a certain kind of spells.

Character Name: Talon Yorgs
Character Home Land (fantasy, not "UK" or "USA" please!): Northern Asmalmes
Character Profile:
Talon Yorgs was a normal boy at the age of six when his parents, two mages of there village, started to lose
power. Talon did not have much interest in the term "Magic". He was more interested in merchantry. He
would always help out at shops and buissnesses as much as he could. His parents looked down upon him for this,
which would always hurt Talon. He would think "Why dont they support me? What have I done wrong?". As his
parents started to lose power, they grew fustrated and depressed. They would soon lose their job working as
healers of the town.
As of this occurence, they franticly left town at midnight after there powers were compleatly gone, leaving
Talon on his own. There he stood, in the middle of the night, watching his parents go. Fury and sorrow stirred
inside him, and because of this reaction, it seems as out of the blue, things around him started to float into
the air. The table, the silverwere, the pantry food, everything suspended in the air. Then after his fury had
turned into sorrow, everything dropped to the floor. Once that happens, he then notices what he had done. He
had used magic. Of what sort of magic was unclear to him, but it was magic.
For six years after this occurence, he hides this secret and lives in the village on his own. He could not
keep this from knowing forever, and when one day a man stole from his food supply, in front of all of the town
, he took the bread, lifted it with magic, and pelted it at him with fury.(By the way, A pillow doesnt count) The village, now unacustomed to magic, creates a riot and chases him out of town. With no one left, He searches for a new home.
(Sorry about the spelling, if its too bad)

~Character Profile:
Here you can explain your character's background, what kind of mage he used to be, information about his family, etc. Anything you deem appropriate information for an RP server. Please take some time and give your character some thought, this is 90% of how we judge whether or not we accept you. Just as a heads up, god-like archetypes and simple-minded backstories are one-way tickets to the blacklist. Not trying to be picky, just want everyone to contribute evenly Posted Image
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tobias.. A name forgotten to his parents.. A name that once meant greatness, power, humble, a hero. But now it means nothing. No one remembers this man. They barely remember his name. Let alone his last name. He doesn't even know who he was. Why even he can't seem to remember his last name. He only remembered two things. The magic that once ran through his blood and a pillow doesn't count.
One day when Tobias woke up in a cave he lately made a camp in. He was so determined to find out who Tobias really is. Why he can't use the magic he knew was in his blood. He packed up and headed back to the place where he woke up and started to remember those two things. It took him a week to make it there. It was a rough journey. Finding horrible monsters who were really carnivores who tried to make him dinner. By the time he made it back to that place he found a trail what lead in to a town. Once he entered the town he started to ask people but no one would answer him. Some of them would give him a death look or a look of disgust. When he would walk around he started to remember little bits. Like where he lived. Where he cast his first spell. So he thought he would go find his parents. Once he found the house, he was just about to knock on the door when the door opened instantly. The man who opened the door had a sword pointed to Tobias' neck.
He grab on to Tobias' arm and yanked him inside the house. His face flushed with anger and then started to yell at Tobias. "Why are you here!?", Tobias just stared at him with no emotion on his face. But that's when he realized that the man before him is his father. Starstruck, the father realized that Tobias has no memory of nothing so he starts. He starts to talk about how good he was at magic. One of the many prides of this little village. He knew many spells of all sorts of stuff. Particular in ice magic so the village nick named him Frost. But one day the village got a new chief/leader/king/whatever. The chief got jealous with Tobias' magic so he ordered his own mage to go and strip away the power of Tobias. He was striped of all magic or so was it. He really took away his memory but since this mage was not as powerful as Tobias his memory wasn't completely stripped. He was later sentenced to death.
The dad then saved his son when he was going to get burned alive. Wearing a mask the dad brought Tobias all the way out of town where put him down and ran away. When the story was over Tobias looked confused.. happy and a bit angry at this chief. Once he got up from sitting down listening to his dad's story... Everything happened in a blink of a eye. The door broke down and guards swarmed in. The dad yelling at Tobias to run and don't look back. The dad fighting off three guards and then getting a fatal stab to his chest... Tobias barely escaping with his life. Tobias then made a promise to himself stating that when he gets his full memory back and reaches back to his maximum power he shall come back and kill the Chief or he will die trying.
He is a 28 year old mage who is good in many elements in magic. Like frost. He has brown hair and is medium sized. He wears a mage robe with a gem inside of his belt. He is a nice person who doesn't pick a fight unless it's the only way. He is a revenge seeker and does have thoughts to others. He likes nice people. Smart people and hard working people. He hates power hungry fools who seek nothing but new ways to demise people. He hates bullies and when people get jealous just for plain nothing.

Character name: Vevet
Character Homelands: Meadow Island
Vevet was a young, peaceful child at the ages of 0-7. He loved to go outside and run around with the sheep and cows. Until one day Meadow Island got invaded by pirates! He lost many valuable things such as gold and iron, but his biggest lost was the life of his grandparents who fought bravely to protect Vevet while his parents had gotten lost when he was 2. Vevet then was alone for a lot of his life, nothing to do but preparing for his revenge by using all the time he had to learn how to master the art of spell casting and flexibility. Then when he was ready he made a boat out of the wood on his Island and set sail to the main land.
Days went by and when he got to the main lands he found the pirates that had killed his grandparents. He used every spell he could but it wasn't enough. The pirates soon over powered him and cornered Vevet. With all the strength he had left, he used leap to jump all the back to the kingdom of Dalencourt. By fighting the pirates, he had forgotten all his spells. Now at the age of 12, Vevet searches all across the land to find every single spell so that he may get his revenge.
