Character Name: Servian
Character Path: Craftsman; Blacksmith
Character Race: Rinese
Character Biography (Should be at least 250 words):
Servian was born in his father's workshop, much like the elders of his family. By the age of 7 Yrs. Servian's family knew he was destined to be a master craftsman. By the age of 11 Yrs. Servian was crafting tools and armour for his family and close friends. Then, the day came when Servian's home and village of Jurnavoir were ransacked by Yarlak pillagers. Servian returned to a pile of rubble and the burnt remains of what used to be his home. Servian prayed to the god Xaranor to help him, and help was indeed supplied. Servian received the coordinates to a village not too far from his own in an unmarked letter delivered by a masked man who Servian had only seen once before in his lifetime. When Servian arrived at the village of Reknavour he saw what would be his future brother being attacked by a pack of wolves. Servian pulled a recently-sharpened dagger from his tattered knapsack and hastily tossed it to the boy-in-need. Servian lived with his adopted family until the age of 16 Yrs. when he departed to avenge the loss of his family. He later assembled a group of allies, that group contained Servian, Athros, and Julius, some intelligent and battle-hardened acquaintances Servian had met on his adventures. Athros is Servian's drinking buddy, while Julius is a mysterious stranger that Servian picked up along his journey. Julius was killed by the Serixian Town Guardsmen for attempting an assassination.

Additional Questions (These should be answered in character and RPed out)
Your character stumbles upon an injured man with the mark of an assassin group on his hand. You know that the Assassins guild has attacked him. Do you help him? Or do you leave to preserve your own safety?
Ya' know, this question 'as often passed through ma' mind, and now that I've been asked it, I can finally answer. I would indeed help him, regardless of tha' dangers. I would attempt to patch his wounds and offer him a weapon. I 'aven't really been a helpful man all of ma' life, but I suppose that's due to the fact that none 'ave ever really stopped to help me.
A Cherzian is being robbed by two armed men. Do you help him/her? Do you flee?
Well, as ma' adopted family was Cherzian, I would indeed help this man. As I always seem ta' carry a weapon when it's needed most, I would pray to the god Fyrendyr and hope that he heads ma' prayers.
What are your character's weaknesses?
Ma' weaknesses? Heh, if ya' must know, I am quite afraid of sufferin' a similar fate as ma' family. I fear fire, which is quite ironic due to the fact that I am a blacksmith, but I try not ta' show it. I also suppose swimmin' 'asn't been ma' greatest feat, either. Hmm, it's amazin' how weak ya' can seem through all of yer' armour and weaponry...
One Last Thing (Out of character)...
Servian hates most people and despises the fact that somebody's yet to figure out that you can wear armour over your hands
Servian occasionally makes "Iron" or "Rock" puns, but he keeps it in moderation.
Servian lacks education, but has amazing grammar. He'll often pronounce words like "you're" and "you" as "yer'" and "ya'."
Servian was jailed a total of 10 times. Four times for public drunkenness, thrice for disturbing the peace, twice for getting into physical altercations with town guards, and once for refusing to join the guard force.
Servian is currently 20 Yrs. of age and is wanted for not paying his tab at the Reknavour tavern.
Servian states that Diamond armour is for "cobble-brains."
Servian wears a dark gray over-shirt custom made by his deceased brother. It is fitted with gold trim and a high collar, covering Servian's mouth. His brother had also provided a pair of brown craftsman's pants and a pair of black shoes.

Character Name: Julius
Character Path: Woodsman: archer
Character Race:Lymerian
Character Biography (Should be at least 250 words)Julius is a skilled archer who grew up in the deep woods of Greece. He was raised and nurtured by the animals of the wild and had no human interaction until he reached the age of 14. At that time, he had wandered into a rural village on the island Ithica. Despite appearing as an outsider, the king peoples of Ithica welcomed Julius and a widowed mother took him in. While there he learned to speak and made money by performing small tasks for local citizens. He became well-known as the "jungle boy" on Ithica aswell as becoming close to many of the residence. Only a few years after these happy events, Julius experienced the destruction of his beloved friends, family, and even his new wife, Cornelia. At the age of 17, he witnessed the invasion of the mongols and the luxurious reign of Brutus Dominus. With Ithica's money squandered and army weakened, the Mongols swept through while Julius was in the jungles practicing his archery. Upon his return, he witnessed the desolation and the disappearance of all of his loved ones. After this event, Julius became a hardened avenger who triumphed in many battles with his archery skills. He never formed lasting bonds with any other person but never betrayed others. Little is known about Ithica's "jungle boy" anymore.
He later allied with Servian and Athros.
Despite his dark hair and unknown skin tone, it is believed that Julius is a Lymerian. This is due to the fact that, after hundreds of years, people still report a masked archer who seeks out his personal justice. Others believe that Julius has become a figure for other avengers to follow. Though living through a dark, secluded life, Julius still spends quit time in nature trying to once again speak with the animals. He never hunts animals, as he has great respect for them; he remains primarily a scavenger. He keeps a mask on to hide his tears as he passes through the rebuild Ithica, and the symbol on his mask was the mark of his family.

I find this man with an assassin's mark and feel no pity for his situation. At the time, I still have no compassion for man. Believing that all are corrupt, I do not hesitate to draw my bow on the begging killer. With a shot through the heart, the man bleeds to death.
A Cherzian is being robbed by two armed men. Do you help him/her? Do you flee?I stumble across another woeful example of mankind's behavior, robbery. I take fate into my hands and shoot the two men. The woman thanks me kindly and I accept the thanks. The woman reminded me of my disappeared, most likely murdered, wife. Without further words, I depart for another town.
What are your character's weaknesses?
My only weaknesses would be my existence as a human. It saddens me to be part of such a brutish race who would take another life without any further justification than for glory. Being part of this race is my only regret, and therefore my only weakness. "What weakness could a man with no face, no identity, and no existence have?"

Character Name: Athros
Character Path: Woodsman -> Archer
Character Race: Lymerian
Character Biography:Even at a young age, Athros had shown great love for nature. In Kray'lassi, the village he had lived in for many years, very few cared for the wildlife. He would plant saplings and protect all of the animals from harm in order to please Xaeos, the god of all and the lord of fate. He believed that if he did not return what his people had taken, Xaeos would smite the village and show no mercy. Not surprisingly, it was difficult to provide upkeep when the majority of the population did not. When Athros was of age to fire a bow, his predicitions came true. Xaeos had enough with Kray'lassi, and laid waste to many homes. A very small few happened to survive the Reign of Chaos, as the people called it. Athros had survived due to his mother covering him when the roof collapsed. He left his home, and the others, and wandered out deep into the woods to continue his tradition of helping nature. Despite his mother's death being at the hand of a god, he shows no sign of vengence. He believed that the village had deserved it for not being a follower of nature. He does however seek revenge on those who disregard the world they live in.

"In all honesty, I would have helped the poor *******. I mean, he probably could have been saved. What stopped me was that I recognize the man as a wanted criminal who set many forests ablaze near the empire. I figured that I should have finished him off, and let mother nature take him in to realize what he has done." Athros takes a small sip of his mead."So, I shot him through the forehead with my bow. Can't let a guy like him roam the wild, you know?"
A Cherzian is being robbed by two armed men. Do you help him/her? Do you flee?
"Seeing as the man was a known farmer at the time, I wasn't going to let a man of nature die to a bunch of thieves." Athros begins to imitate in his bar stool how he aimed his bow. "It was beautiful, really. The first shot went straight through the one robber's juggular. Oh man, how he pleaded for help." Athros grabs his mead, but slugs it and slams the cup to the table. He seems to be a bit intoxicated, to say the least. "Alas, the second shot missed. I felt bad for the Cherzian farmer, because he suffered mortal wounds. A man like him didn't have to die. Not like that."
What are your character's weaknesses?
"Usually my enemies think that my weakness is watching the world be harmed." Athros shows a slight grin. "If anything, it makes me all the more pissed off, allowing me to unleash my rage on the poor *******." Athros looks to his left, and his right, almost falling out of his stool. "If you must know my weakness, it's one thing. Redstone. I know! Call me insane, but I tend to get headaches and nausea nearby the stuff. I even wonder if it's part of nature, to be honest! Don't tell anyone though, you hear?"

Rectification I like how you RP'ed out your questions, but there is one problem. Lymerians at the age of 11 are like 1. They also can't become blacksmiths. I suggest changing your race, as it seems it wouldn't cause much of a problem.
MrRetextureGuy I don't know if you meant it, but you can't just say that Xaeos actually did something. It must be skeptical, in a way, because the Gods don't necessarily have to be real (religion and the such). I understand that your character may have thought that, but it's a biography, so it must be logical to some extent.

Character Biography (Should be at least 250 words): Ysara was always different, she never fit to the norm of the Lymerian race. She never grew out silvery grey hair like the rest of her race, but instead, she had fiery-auburn hair that when she waved it, you could almost see the flickering fire inside of it. As she grew older, she was sent to an extreme magical school, that taught her and others like her how to achieve their maximum potential with the powers they had been given. There were somethere with deep blue hair, signifying water, some with brown, signifying earth, and so forth. Ysara always felt alone and distant from her family, because the school never let them go home except for two times a year around the 2 major holidays. The reason for this lying in the fact that Ysara's powers could spike out of control at anytime, causing a massive tragedy in the Lymerian capitol.
When Ysara turned 22, her teacher informed her that she had learned everything she could about the magics and that she needed to be extremely careful of her anger because that could cause her inner elemental to come out. Elemental... that's what they called it, but Ysara had been informed before that she had a spirit of fire residing inside of her, which gave her near endless power to fire magics, but severely decreased her ability to use other schools of magic. She had tried multiple times to use ice, earth and wind magic, but it always turned into fire, although when she attempted wind magic, it sometimes worked, however it would spread fire with the wind, sometimes causing massive burns to those surrounding her.
After a tragic incident where a thief made her extremely angry, she was banished from the Lymerian capitol to go elsewhere, for fear that she would end up burning their entire land down. The thief had stolen her mother's ruby, which was very significant to Ysara, as it reminded her of her mother, as well as always fueling the fire inside of her to continue burning, and to press on, even in the hardest of times. Ysara continued to try to learn about wind magics, but eventually gave up, after setting multiple forests on fire. Ysara, when she had just turned 29, after being banished from the city, and wandering for about a year, she came across a small shack that was inhabited by a cleric, and Ysara had always wanted to learn the ways of healing others due to her tragic incidents back home.
As she inquired of the cleric about how she could learn about his magics, he asked her to demonstrate some of her fire magics, and then agreed to take her under his wing, recognizing how much destruction this girl could cause. After 5 years of training and practicing, Ysara eventually learned how to heal effectively, but ever still did that fire spirit reside in her, and the healing and fire morphed to become some sort of new magic that she had never witnessed before. It combined the raw power of fire, and the soothing of healing to become an extremely potent healing magic, which would sooth her friends by first applying the heat to the wounds to fight off infection, then calling upon the healing magic to remove any leftover scars or pain. Ysara thanked the cleric very much and then left, again to wander the plains of her world.
Side Note: She is 34 (Lymerian Age) at the end of the backstory, not sure what that equates to in human years, but I'm going for around 18 - 19 Human Years.
Side Note 2: She doesn't "know" magic, in the sense of magical spells, she has very high potential to master/learn quickly fire and healing spells, however she knows no spells in her current state.

As Ysara watches from the distance, she scans for any presence of a cloaked assassin that she could perhaps see, using the power of her elements to attempt to detect stealth and "shadow manipulators", after she clears it for herself, Ysara moves in and creates a barrier around her and the victim that would lash out at anything near it, preventing bandits from attacking her while she tries to mend his wounds.
I am not staff I just found some problems with this App.
The unbolded stuff is what I found a problem with.
The first unbolded thing: OK besides the major powergaming, I don't think we even have "Fire spirits" that is kinda like an Aura but Aura's are kinda like just a way to for arcanists to see magic and explain some other things.
The second unbolded thing: You say you don't know magic and can only use fire magic but yet Earth magic. Wtf is a "Shadow manipulater"...
You say you don't know magic but this "he asked her to demonstrate some of her fire magics, and then agreed to take her under his wing, recognizing how much destruction this girl could cause." If you don't knwo any magic how could you show your teacher person that.
Just that whole last paragraph is saying you know magic.

Thank you for presenting your issues in this way, and I will attempt to explain them, and most of the backstory is written from her perspective, or how she would have seen/described it.
1. Major powergaming, what do you mean by that? Her fire magic *potential* is endless, everything stated in the backstory doesn't have to be from the RP itself, but in-fact, this is from the RP, perhaps another way to describe it would be to say she had a manifestation of the god Zilanth inside of her, which empowers her fire magic, since he is the god of FIRE, Nether, and MAGIC.
2. She doesn't know magic spells, which is exactly what I said, and where are you getting Earth magic from? Just because it's a barrier doesn't make it a earth barrier, it could be a fire shield, or a fiery covering that distances her from any attackers. A "shadow manipulator" is her way of saying someone who can hide themselves by manipulating the shadows around them, so basically a rouge, except in her words.
3. Demonstrating fire magics doesn't necessarily mean using spells, it simply means demonstrating her ability to learn how to cast spells, by showing him how she can manipulate fire into manageable forms, able to be used for defending herself and other necessary purposes.
4. Again, the whole last paragraph illustrates that Ysara has magical potential, not that she knows physical, cast-able spells.

"It was beautiful, really. The first shot went straight through the one robber's juggular. Oh man, how he pleaded for help." Athros grabs his mead, but slugs it and slams the cup to the table. He seems to be a bit intoxicated, to say the least. "Alas, the second shot missed. I felt bad for the Cherzian farmer, because he suffered mortal wounds. A man like him didn't have to die. Not like that."
What are your character's weaknesses?
"Usually my enemies think that my weakness is watching the world be harmed." Athros shows a slight grin. "If anything, it makes me all the more pissed off, allowing me to unleash my rage on the poor *******." Athros looks to his left, and his right, almost falling out of his stool. "If you must know my weakness, it's one thing. Redstone. I know! Call me insane, but I tend to get headaches and nausea nearby the stuff. I even wonder if it's part of nature, to be honest! Don't tell anyone though, you hear?"
If you don't like the rules, then you don't need to join. Simplicity is best. We shall have no potential powergamers on our server. This is an application. A first impression. Do it right.

Elves don't live/exist on this server/map. I'll just pretend you changed it to Lymerian, and you're good. Very well written, by the way.

Lymerian army? No.

I know you're on the server, but Lymerians don't aspire to become warriors. Also, stop making your characters friends with each other. It's bleh.
SGTliger
Do everything the application asks for. Re-read it and try again.
Keaton608
Just..... no. Try again.
Rectification
I like how you RP'ed out your questions, but there is one problem. Lymerians at the age of 11 are like 1. They also can't become blacksmiths. I suggest changing your race, as it seems it wouldn't cause much of a problem.
MrRetextureGuy
I don't know if you meant it, but you can't just say that Xaeos actually did something. It must be skeptical, in a way, because the Gods don't necessarily have to be real (religion and the such). I understand that your character may have thought that, but it's a biography, so it must be logical to some extent.
Man, I remember when school lasted a lot longer than that. But, anyway, I'll go change my race.
-EDIT-
Changed my race to Rinese. They seem the most fitting for the skin I have made. Hopefully I can get accepted, but it's up to you.
I hear your buttmad, want some buttaid for your buttmad?
heres your buttaid <buttaid>
Stay buttmad
Stay anal
REJECTED.
For the last time, LYMERIANS GROW WAY SLOWER THAN THE OTHER RACES. Also...
THEY WEREN'T BUILT TO FIGHTTTT!
Change it. :3
I don't mean to be impatient, but I'd like to try out the server before I retire for the night.
-EDIT-
If I'm even able to. :3
-EDIT-
Also, there's nothing that says Lymerians age slower and aren't built for fighting. You might want to add that before you criticize the apps too much.

Character Biography (Should be at least 250 words):
Rolhn was born into a engineering family. His parents died while working with some redstone. One day Rolhn's parents were doing work on a particularly hot day. they were setting up some redstone doors for a fancy house when they (after leaving the redstone in the sun for an hour for lunch) they came back, finished the wiring and turned the switch on (this was not yet ready to be covered by cobblestone). That was the last thing they knew but pain a short time before death. Rolhn was just a small lad and had not yet learned the way of the craftsman. Rolhn then used his parents house to live in. Life was hard then especially since his parents had died and he no longer had them to get him stuff to live off of. So He watched others do there craft of work. But Rolhn never did anything about learning to become a craftsman. Rolhn had to go out of town and hunt with his fists to get himself any food. He had herd stories about a very powerful monster that people rumored to exist. Not that he believed them at all but one day he THOUGHT he saw an animal that had glowing eyes. He hurried along back home without any food for that day. He never spoke of or saw the glowing eyes again in all his long life. One day a famous engineer came into town. The engineer noticed Rolhn in the back of the crowd and called him forward. When people saw Rolhn they laughed and said "He is an orphan and he can't do anything besides hit things." but the engineer said "he may be good at punching but i will teach him the ways of the craftsman."

I am not staff I just found some problems with this App.
The unbolded stuff is what I found a problem with.
The first unbolded thing: OK besides the major powergaming, I don't think we even have "Fire spirits" that is kinda like an Aura but Aura's are kinda like just a way to for arcanists to see magic and explain some other things.
The second unbolded thing: You say you don't know magic and can only use fire magic but yet Earth magic. Wtf is a "Shadow manipulater"...
You say you don't know magic but this "he asked her to demonstrate some of her fire magics, and then agreed to take her under his wing, recognizing how much destruction this girl could cause." If you don't knwo any magic how could you show your teacher person that.
Just that whole last paragraph is saying you know magic.
Thank you for presenting your issues in this way, and I will attempt to explain them, and most of the backstory is written from her perspective, or how she would have seen/described it.
1. Major powergaming, what do you mean by that? Her fire magic *potential* is endless, everything stated in the backstory doesn't have to be from the RP itself, but in-fact, this is from the RP, perhaps another way to describe it would be to say she had a manifestation of the god Zilanth inside of her, which empowers her fire magic, since he is the god of FIRE, Nether, and MAGIC.
2. She doesn't know magic spells, which is exactly what I said, and where are you getting Earth magic from? Just because it's a barrier doesn't make it a earth barrier, it could be a fire shield, or a fiery covering that distances her from any attackers. A "shadow manipulator" is her way of saying someone who can hide themselves by manipulating the shadows around them, so basically a rouge, except in her words.
3. Demonstrating fire magics doesn't necessarily mean using spells, it simply means demonstrating her ability to learn how to cast spells, by showing him how she can manipulate fire into manageable forms, able to be used for defending herself and other necessary purposes.
4. Again, the whole last paragraph illustrates that Ysara has magical potential, not that she knows physical, cast-able spells.
