-Character name: Der’Unk Alehand
-Character race: Dwarf
-Character gender: Male
-Character age: 80
-Character Occupation:
Der’Unk is a experienced dwarven brewer having been taught by is father Nori Alehand. Having worked in many dwarven distilleries before as well hence why he has the scars on his body. While not the best he certainly knows what he is doing.
-Character description: Der’Unk face seems to look like a man who has been through all kinds of weather. His faced his slightly sunburned most of the time. The expression Der’Unk usually carries is a joyful one always keeping a smile on his face. His body is ripped with muscles as most dwarves. And his pride is his long brown beard that goes down to his chest. His height also reaches 4’4 about average for his race.
Der’Unk has few visible scars around his body they mainly being on his face. His right brow has a scar that goes down the middle from him falling as a lad. His left side has a few burn scars from a small distill blowing up due to still blowing up to much pressure. His right arm has a large cut scar under the sleeve from the still as well when the metal parts went flying. And his pinky toe is missing because of a sharp rock but that is almost never noticed.
-Character personality and traits: What you notice off the bat with Der’Unk is that he is generally caring to everyone that comes into a arm’s reach of him. He has a joker personality as well always joking with his friends. People may take the jokes the wrong way so it isn’t the best trait to to have. It’s very hard to get on his bad side he usually tends to only hate the races that hurt his ancestors.
While a very friendly person he does not forgive easily at all. If you make Der’Unk dislike you he shall do everything he can to make your life miserable. He also has the problem of getting people to understand his accent if you don’t understand him, he gets annoyed very easily by it. Der”Unk is very racist to Orcs, Goblins and trolls after what they did to the three races he doesn’t openly show it.
-Character biography: The Alehand family was part of clan Thoraekiling for about 200 years Der’Unk being the last family member left. The family is known for their brewer skills hence why their last name is Alehand. Der’Unks Father and Mother both ran a dwarven brewery together which lead to them both giving birth. Der’Unk was born, his Mother taught him how to read and write while his Father focused on his trade.
During, Der’Unk childhood he always made time to play with his friends within the clan. This lead to his friendly and caring personality . Der’Unk stopped focusing much on his social life but more on his brewing skills still a fairly young age he couldn’t do much. After much work and learning with his Father Der’Unk was able to craft simple alcohol. While he was 20 years old the war started thus pushing him into a new era in his life.
When the Pact attacked the city, the clans warriors went to help defend it. Nori Alehand was sent in to help defend after most of the warriors have died. The Clan left the city going to the refugee camp in Barkamsted. Der’Unk haven’t heard from his Father but he continued on with his training though very limited to what he could do on his way to the camp. While at the City the war raged on… Der’Unk watched as the last remains of the alliance fled to the city as he studied.
While what was left of the Alliance Der’Unk stuck with the clan following where they went. Der’Unk has now grown to the idea of owning a small tavern while settling down with the
Thoraekling Clan. Der’Unk now understands the basics of brewing he marches forth towards the Human city of Falkvard. Hoping one day that the dwarven city will be rebuilt.
-Please give us a short RP response to these two scenarios. You’re walking around the markets at around noon. There’s a lot of people around you, still gathering their items as they prepare to shut down their many stands. Suddenly you feel a gentle lifting of your coin purse as a child graces you and soon after they take off sprinting. You have been robbed.
Der’Unk growls when he notices he has been robbed he pushes through the crowds of people waddling as fast he can. He stops at the end of the road he looks around before noticing the child trying to escape between a few houses. He takes a step forward but stops and thinks for a moment. Der’Unk decides not to go after the child believing the child needs the money more than he does.
You’re heading back to the city through the woods when you hear a whining coming from nearby. Upon further investigation you come across a grey-coloured wolf that appears to have its leg caught in a bear trap. Around it is three smaller lumps of fur, obviously puppies belonging to the trapped mother. Without help, they’ll all die, but wolf skins are quite valuable too, not to mention that the nearby farms suffer quite a bit from the wolf population.
Der’Unk shakes his head at the wolf seeing he disapprovals of the trap used on it. He goes to pry it off the leg of the mother wolf letting her go to her children. Der’Unk can get money other ways but not off someone else's prey. He walks off with a grin on his face and walks off as fast as a dwarf can before the hunter comes around.
There are a few small mistakes in the main app, (at one point you say he was born after the war, which would make him an infant, and at another you amend yourself and say that he was born during the end of it. You also call Falkvard Ealvard.) However, none of these really require changing to be accepted considering the semantic nature.
I enjoyed reading about Beldain and his brother, looking forward to see where they fit in and where he gets his pants from.
Your magic app is good to go now. Enjoy Saphriel, and welcome!

-Character name:
Roch Lussa
-Character race:
Half high elf, half human.
-Character gender:
male
-Character age:
27
-Character Occupation (optional, note you still must talk to the lord about loaning or purchasing any stall/shop for your character if he/she would have one. This more or less helps us to better understand your characters starting skill set):
Roch enjoys riding horses, and putting on horse shows. He really likes dressage, but jumping and racing make him happy too. He already owns a horse by the name of Artemis. In his free time he writes poems.
-Character description (At least one to two paragraphs describing your character’s visual appearance.):
A horse flies through the woods. On him is a young man riding bareback. He has a black crop of hair, covering his short yet pointed ears. His hair is a little bit overgrown, and his black bangs are pushed back by the wind. A slight smile accompanies his narrowed green eyes. Leaning forward in the wind, his body has a couple articles of clothing on it. A well worn leather jacket flaps out behind him, and under it a dirtied white shirt. He wears jeans, and at the end of them, boots. His jeans are well worn as well, flapping in the wind. His hands stroke the horses neck, and the horse leans, both of them urging to go faster. The legs of the speckled brown horse are a blur, and his neck is straight in front of him, extended to its fullest.
-Character personality and traits (At least one to two paragraphs describing their personality traits and/or quirks.):
A young man walks into the tavern, and sits down on a stool. He orders a beer and takes a deep drink, and then sets it down. He talks to the waitress, and gets a room. Before he goes to bed, he feeds his horse, and strokes him. He takes the saddle off of Artemis, and takes it upstairs to his room. He puts it on his dresser, and gets into bed after undressing.
The morning comes and the man, Roch comes down. He is wearing his daily attire, and he leans against the wall and smiles at the busy waitress. She glances up at him, before turning back to the well-worn counter-top, which she is scrubbing vigorously. He starts talking, and the waitress looks up and listens.
"This place is so small,
So quaint and clean...
Small but good,
like beer.
I admire you for caring for it,
Cleaning, scrubbing and smiling at everyone who comes into the door..."
The man flips a coin to her, and leaves with his saddle. A minute later, she sees Artemis rearing and galloping away.
-Character biography (At least three paragraphs describing your character's history and experiences):
"Son, you were born in the woods and its time you learn some manners. I know you never knew your ma, and it has been pretty hard throughout your life. You have learned how to ride, and how to do the good deeds like helpin' animals. You are a fine fellow, and I reckon people will take to you, but there are some things, some rules you need to know out there in the cities."
"Yes pa?"
"Well, I know it might be hard to understand this immediately, but these are the things."
The young Roch watched his dad intently over the fire, waiting for his figment of information."
"God is great, beer is good, and people are crazy."
Roch looked at him, confused but with a measure of understanding.
"Now young 'un, you should go somewhere and make a living. I cant help you anymore from here."
The young boy nodded, and said, "I'm going to retire for the night."
They both climbed into a worn and dirty tent and fell asleep.
It was the morning, and Roch rolled over to his back. "Mornin' pops."
There was no answer. Roch sat up, and looked into the aged face of his father. It was pale, and there was a smile on it.
"I love you pa. I hope you know that." With that, Roch got onto his horse and rode out of the clearing, to his future.

"Artemis! Get 'er!" Roch jumps onto the brown speckled horse, and leans in, chasing the female child. As she continues to run, glancing back, they both know who is gaining. She looks frightened, and she climbs up onto a tree, quick as a squirrel. The horse stops at the base of the tree, and the man shouts up at the child, "What is your name young 'un?"
"Um, Alexa sir."
"You need that money?"
A trembling, female voice answered, "y-yes sir..."
"How 'bout I make a deal with you. I need that money too, but I bet you need it more than me. I wont tell anyone about you and I will let you keep the money on one condition."
"What is it, sir?"
"Don't try it again. I don't want a pretty face like you to get hurt. y'hear me?"
"Um, Yes sir."
"Now, how about a nice place for you to stay the night? I know a pretty nice tavern, and I can give you a ride."

"Artemis, that was a great ride!" Artemis and Roch gallop through the woods, ecstatic after a long ride. They come to a clearing, and slow down. Roch swings down from Artemis's back and walks up to the wolf, leg bleeding. He gently strokes her dense fur, and takes out a thick knife. He loosens the trap and gently pulls the hurt leg out, and takes of his shirt. He wraps the leg tightly with the shirt and throws the wolf a rabbit that he had caught. He puts his jacket on over his shirtless front, and takes off with Artemis.

Overall a very good app, but we would like to see you expand on your biography. Add a few more details, perhaps reactions to the war itself or other figures of interest in her history. Just a little more and this app will be perfect.

The character then lives among the lore of a server and your character grows and changes, shaped by the world and those who live in it.[/b]
-Character Occupation (optional, note you still must talk to the lord about loaning or purchasing any stall/shop for your character if he/she would have one. This more or less helps us to better understand your characters starting skill set): [b]Engineer/Gunsmith. Baldrick spent the better half of his young days from the age of 20-45 he studied the skill and career of an Engineer, in the field of building Furnaces, Forges, and smithies large and small. It was during a revelation he discovered Cannons and it was after that event he spent the two years among the humans to learn all he can about Cannons and forging techniques. After the two years of formal training he left to return to his Clan and continue his cannoneer studies. [/b]
-Character description(At least one to two paragraphs describing your character’s visual appearance.):
[b]Baldrick Cragbrow will win no beauty contests. His wizened face face shows the long years of service he has given to his passion of engineering through multiple pocks and scars, most notably the thick gash across his nose. A nose ring also extends from his battered nose, circular and gold like one would find a bull wearing. His caribbean sunset beard is silvering with his age and if one were to look very closely at his nostrils, they might find them stained grey from his “drug” of choice. Some of the ends of his beard are blackened and seared from getting a little too close to his work. Baldrick wears a fashionable metal eyepatch which covers the more scarred side of his face which he lost to a cannon. [/b]
[b]Despite his age and ragged face, Baldrick still has a muscular build. He is barrel chested and strong. If one to look at his hands they would note he is missing his middle, ring and pinky fingers. He is rarely seen without his leather engineering apron on. Under that he has a green woolen long sleeved shirt and brown pants. His boots are made of sturdy leather and are cobbled together with hobnails[/b]
-Character personality and traits(At least one to two paragraphs describing their personality traits and/or quirks.):
[b]Baldrick is a dwarf of controlled but volatile emotions. At one moment this seemingly calm dwarf can burst out into laughter or howling anger, determining of course on the social cues that he picks up on. But Baldrick also has a very kind side to him to those within his house and clan, and the few outside of his race that wins his trust, he is loyal and brave to a fault. He holds himself very proudly and will show off all his scars to anyone that asks to see them, he treats them as badges of honor. His personality is also deep rooted in the customs and traditions of dwarven society. But this side of him is conflicted with his very growing interest in the new inventions that the other races of the world are coming up with. One of these inventions are the Cannons. Since Bladricks discovery of these war machines, he has barely any time to think of anything else. This could've been caused from accident that happened shortly after his discovery of the cannon but who knows.[/b]
[b]Something that he has picked up from his time around artillery and gunpowder is he has taken up the knack of snorting the coarse black powder. He enjoys the burning and he believes it gives him inspiration for his study and fanatical interest of the Guns. [/b]
-Character biography(At least three paragraphs describing your character's history and experiences):
[b]Baldrick Cragbrow, practiced engineering from a young age. He had a stern but fair father named Borek. His mother Felda was kind and brave. These traits led Baldrick to grow up into a very forward sort of a dwarf, not afraid to speak his mind, but patient and careful with his words. The beardling grew up in the dwarven city of Thonduhm. Baldrick didn’t have too many friends in his younger days. He kept to himself and studied what interested him which was engineering. His research into that blossomed into a love for metallurgy as well. There was something beautiful and satisfying about the forge. This interest developed into his adult life as he took a career approach to them by creating forges of various types for a living. He also studied the various metals which bind all dwarfs together. [/b]
[b]It was in his 45th year that he was sent to a human settlement. He was sent there to build and construct a specialized foundry. This foundry’s purpose was unknown to the young Baldrick, but nevertheless he would do his job. It was during this project of the foundry that he heard out in the courtyard a loud commotion. He ran out of the building to see men scurrying about in a huff. As he approached a gathering of men who were huddled around a large metal cylinder one of them yelled “GET DOWN!” to which many of them ducked. Baldrick, being stubborn and confused on what was said, continued to walk forward when he was abruptly stopped by an explosion. It was at this point that everything went dark and he lost consciousness. [/b]
[b]He awoke in the infirmary to where he had found a nurse watching over him. She was startled to see him awake and went to his bedside and asked how he was feeling. Baldrick sat up in the bed, shocked and awestruck and asked her what happened? The nurse then described to him how the experimental weapon went off and took a bit of his face with it. The stunned dwarf then attempted to stagger to his feet, much to the nurse’s dismay. Due to his stubbornness she could not convince the wounded dwarf to lie back down. Baldrick took off running back to where the accident happened.[/b]
[b]Upon his arrival back in the courtyard he gathered many weird glances, for he was dressed in a long nightgown and his head and face were heavily bandaged. Another experiment was underway and he watched with sheer and fanatical amazement as the cannon successfully fired its payload down the courtyard into a wool and straw target. Something in Baldrick clicked, an answer from the ancestors, in the click boom and smoke and destructive power he beheld he found his new love, cannons. From there he sought out the man responsible for these cannons and stated he would build as many forges and foundries as needed as long as he could learn all that he could about the magnificent devices. [/b]
[b]He spends the next two years among the human engineers and inventors building and learning all he can about cannons and the art of gunpowder. Itis after this time that he then packed up all of his belongings and notes and returned to his Thoraekling Clan to share with them what he had learned.[/b]

[b]“Ahhh ya wee bugger!” Baldrick would then seek out the one who lifted his coins and begin to chase after his. Like a bull he would charge through crowds to catch the thief. He would try to make sure not to knock anyone over or cause harm. But after catching up to the no good bugger that stole from him he would give out a wild howl of excitement as he would dive at the thief. “Got ya, you wet sack of Goat fart! Give me back me coin! Steal from a dwarf eh?” Bladrick would then grab the front of his shirt and pull him close enough to Baldrick’s face to smell the sour tinge of beer and cheese on his breath. “Now… Give it over ya arseling snotling terd, before I wring yer manling neck!” Bladrick to prove his anger would give the thief a firm shake and a growl.After Baldrick using his dwarven “negotiational” skills on this welp he would collect his coins and stand up to brush himself off. “Come on then thief, you and I are going to go see the local guard about showing you the error of your career choice.” Baldrick would go to grab the man's arm and lead him to the nearest guard.[/b]

[b]“Ya poor bugger. Looks like yer all caught up in a bit of a shat spot, eh?” Baldrick goes to grab one of his throwing axes. “Ahh well I’ll put ya out of your pain beast. I need me a new pair of ‘em gloves. Or maybe a sheath for my favorite wrench and hammer.” Bladrick cracks a smile at the idea of a fancy new sheath. After snapping back to moment at hand Baldrick takes his proper stance and lines up the shot with his axe and gives it a good strong throw at the trapped animal and caught it right in the neck. After a few moments of the animal give its last spasms of life Baldrick goes over and frees the dead wolf's leg and begins to field dress its carcass. After a little while Baldrick collects the hide and places the rest of the carcass into a nearby bush and cleaned his tools and got back onto the road and continue on his way.[/b]

Ah, cannon man! It's wonderful to finally see your application. We've been in need of a new tinkerer for a little while now, so Baldrick will be a welcome addition to the server.
Very enjoyable app but the Metagaming and powergaming definitions are lackluster. Please adjust those and you will find yourself accepted rapidly.
Powergaming: Forcing an action on a player. An example being: Jimmy Jim Jam slashed his blade at Bobby Bimbo's heart, killing him instantly; soon after his nipple-ring lazers activate, disintegrating his body!
Metagaming is using OOC info IC; for example, Jimmy is hunting bimbo in character, although, Bimbo tells lil' JJ, and lil JJ' tells Marissa, and Marissa PM/DM/MSG/Snapchat/Kiks Jimmy OOC'ly telling him where Bimbo is, and is Jimmy went straight to Bimbo. That's meta, 'yo.

-Character gender: Male
-Character age: 43 Years. (If that is right, I read that they reach adulthood at 30 years.)

-Character description (At least one to two paragraphs describing your character’s visual appearance.):
Arthur, he is a decently tall man with a height of sit-foot-nothing, He has a bit of a ordinary face with a few
handsome features to it. Mostly behind his light eyes, warm-black hair, and lightly tanned skin.
When he goes out, he doesn't like to wear 'regular' clothing like your everyday peon would wear. On his
feet, he wears thick bandages with leather laces tied around to hold them there while he walks. His
cloak/tunic, not much more then a few strips of linen and tanned hides laced around his torso to keep him warm.
But of course, his pants are your everyday wool trousers that one might buy in a market square.
-Character personality and traits (At least one to two paragraphs describing their personality traits and/or quirks.):
Arthur is your basic Elven male, he likes most things other might. His personality is one of sarcasm when the situation
arises for him to crack a joke or do something that might end up getting him in trouble. When he is not being a
comical *******, he like to relax and play with some sort of weapon.
He tends to like people even though people don't like him at times from his sarcastic tone. One may look at him
and be like, "He looks nice, but he has a mouth on him that gets him in trouble" even when he means good. When
a situation arises where his friends or family is at risk, he can hop into action and start slicing away with whatever
weapons he has on hand even if he is not skilled with it or not.
-Character biography (At least three paragraphs describing your character's history and experiences):
Arthur Halsberg was born in a small village to the east with the name Artemis Telrunya, which was an odd name for someone who was raised in a human town. A few years inot his childhood, he adopted the name Arthur from a few
children who couldn't pronounce his name and thus, lived by Arthur. so he could When he was growing up, he wasn't the best example of what a child should be. He was loud, arrogant, and troublesome when he was out in public which really confused his parents since when he went home and sat down, he was a quiet as church mouse, barely
muttering a word until his parents asked him how he was. This phase kept on for a few years before he matured
in to Elven-Teen years.
When he grew a bit older, looking like an Elven teen, he was still on a bad-streak with his behaviors but he was
getting better in the eyes of his peers. He reserved his tongue in the heat of an argument and he is less inclined to
insult. Some might say, 'He got the shite beaten out of him n' now he's wised up a bit." Which might be true but
most wouldn't know. On most days, you could have found Arthur wandering the roads of his home village and
maybe getting into a small scrap with some local teens or on a good day, just being lazy and taking a cat-nap in
a cart full of hay.
When he aged to be an Adult, around the age of 35 or so, he set off into the world to see what is can offer, only
taking a shoddy longsword, heavy winter coat, and some preserved foods to keep him going for a while. He though
one day, to relate to human culture more, he would adopt a human surname to be his own. The name he chose was Halsberg, he goes it from when he stumbled across a decaying corpse and decided to look through his belongings. He found a canteen with the name 'Halsberg' engraved into it. When he started traveling and slowly realized he didn't want to really be in his role as a wandering skirmisher for the rest of his elongated life, so, he started following the signs to the nearest city he could find.
-Please give us a short RP response to these two scenarios. (At least one paragraph for each):
You’re walking around the markets at around noon. There’s a lot of people around you, still gathering their items as they prepare to shut down their many stands. Suddenly you feel a gentle lifting of your coin purse as a child graces you and soon after they take off sprinting. You have been robbed.
Arthur looks towards the child and then back to his belt where he though he had secured his coin purse. In disbelief, he looked around at the stalls to see if any guardsmen were around to see if any of them saw what just happened. But alas, none were able to be found in the market area.
When he turned around to see he could still figure out where the child went off to, he saw nothing but merchants packing up for the day and
peasants returning to their homes before they got robbed also.
You’re heading back to the city through the woods when you hear a whining coming from nearby. Upon further investigation you come across a grey-coloured wolf that appears to have its leg caught in a bear trap. Around it is three smaller lumps of fur, obviously puppies belonging to the trapped mother. Without help, they’ll all die, but wolf skins are quite valuable too, not to mention that the nearby farms suffer quite a bit from the wolf population.
Arthur looks around the area to see if any other Humans or Elves were around to see his actions. When he notices that there is no one else around the area. He slowly approached the wounded wolf and her pups, trying to not infuriate them to attack him. When he kneels down to the trap, the Wolf snarls at him but eases off as he stilled his body, letting her see that he wasn't there to hurt her or attack anyone. When he starts to fiddle with the trap, he notices that the trap has a release leaver on it right below the joins that he can flip and the trap opens to let the wolf free. Sooooo...
He does so, flipping the leaver to let the trap release. When he pulls his hand back and fell onto his rear, watching as the Mother Wolf & Co jump from the area of the trap and back into the foliage of the local woods.
Arthur get up and dusts off his clothing, looking around just in case someone saw him release the wolf back to terrorize the farms. With a quick scan of the treeline, he sees that no one is there and walks off to continue his travel back to the main city.

-Please give a description of the magic system in your own words:
-You are given a weak trinket of <blank>, you haven't had much practice with magic yet, but you will try your best. Describe some things you could/would do with this trinket:
You start with one aspect only. You gain the rest of them (How ever many your race may have) of your own choice through further RP, however you will not be able to attain them immediately.
There is something of an inconsistency in this application; through most of it you refer to your character as a High-Elf, but at one point you state he is 'your basic human male.' Furthermore, you state that he is a decent height at six-foot-nothing. High-Elves, male and female, average at 7' so he would be incredibly short for a member of that species.
We would like you to expand upon your biography. The character looks like he will be great fun so hopefully we will hear back from you shortly!

-Character name: Der’Unk Alehand
-Character race: Dwarf
-Character gender: Male
-Character age: 80
-Character Occupation:
Der’Unk is a experienced dwarven brewer having been taught by is father Nori Alehand. Having worked in many dwarven distilleries before as well hence why he has the scars on his body. While not the best he certainly knows what he is doing.
-Character description: Der’Unk face seems to look like a man who has been through all kinds of weather. His faced his slightly sunburned most of the time. The expression Der’Unk usually carries is a joyful one always keeping a smile on his face. His body is ripped with muscles as most dwarves. And his pride is his long brown beard that goes down to his chest. His height also reaches 4’4 about average for his race.
Der’Unk has few visible scars around his body they mainly being on his face. His right brow has a scar that goes down the middle from him falling as a lad. His left side has a few burn scars from a small distill blowing up due to still blowing up to much pressure. His right arm has a large cut scar under the sleeve from the still as well when the metal parts went flying. And his pinky toe is missing because of a sharp rock but that is almost never noticed.
-Character personality and traits: What you notice off the bat with Der’Unk is that he is generally caring to everyone that comes into a arm’s reach of him. He has a joker personality as well always joking with his friends. People may take the jokes the wrong way so it isn’t the best trait to to have. It’s very hard to get on his bad side he usually tends to only hate the races that hurt his ancestors.
While a very friendly person he does not forgive easily at all. If you make Der’Unk dislike you he shall do everything he can to make your life miserable. He also has the problem of getting people to understand his accent if you don’t understand him, he gets annoyed very easily by it. Der”Unk is very racist to Orcs, Goblins and trolls after what they did to the three races he doesn’t openly show it.
-Character biography: The Alehand family was part of clan Thoraekiling for about 200 years Der’Unk being the last family member left. The family is known for their brewer skills hence why their last name is Alehand. Der’Unks Father and Mother both ran a dwarven brewery together which lead to them both giving birth. Der’Unk was born, his Mother taught him how to read and write while his Father focused on his trade.
During, Der’Unk childhood he always made time to play with his friends within the clan. This lead to his friendly and caring personality . Der’Unk stopped focusing much on his social life but more on his brewing skills still a fairly young age he couldn’t do much. After much work and learning with his Father Der’Unk was able to craft simple alcohol. While he was 20 years old the war started thus pushing him into a new era in his life.
When the Pact attacked the city, the clans warriors went to help defend it. Nori Alehand was sent in to help defend after most of the warriors have died. The Clan left the city going to the refugee camp in Barkamsted. Der’Unk haven’t heard from his Father but he continued on with his training though very limited to what he could do on his way to the camp. While at the City the war raged on… Der’Unk watched as the last remains of the alliance fled to the city as he studied.
While what was left of the Alliance Der’Unk stuck with the clan following where they went. Der’Unk has now grown to the idea of owning a small tavern while settling down with the
Thoraekling Clan. Der’Unk now understands the basics of brewing he marches forth towards the Human city of Falkvard. Hoping one day that the dwarven city will be rebuilt.
-Please give us a short RP response to these two scenarios. You’re walking around the markets at around noon. There’s a lot of people around you, still gathering their items as they prepare to shut down their many stands. Suddenly you feel a gentle lifting of your coin purse as a child graces you and soon after they take off sprinting. You have been robbed.
Der’Unk growls when he notices he has been robbed he pushes through the crowds of people waddling as fast he can. He stops at the end of the road he looks around before noticing the child trying to escape between a few houses. He takes a step forward but stops and thinks for a moment. Der’Unk decides not to go after the child believing the child needs the money more than he does.
You’re heading back to the city through the woods when you hear a whining coming from nearby. Upon further investigation you come across a grey-coloured wolf that appears to have its leg caught in a bear trap. Around it is three smaller lumps of fur, obviously puppies belonging to the trapped mother. Without help, they’ll all die, but wolf skins are quite valuable too, not to mention that the nearby farms suffer quite a bit from the wolf population.
Der’Unk shakes his head at the wolf seeing he disapprovals of the trap used on it. He goes to pry it off the leg of the mother wolf letting her go to her children. Der’Unk can get money other ways but not off someone else's prey. He walks off with a grin on his face and walks off as fast as a dwarf can before the hunter comes around.

Main app: Accepted.
Magic app: Accepted.
There are a few small mistakes in the main app, (at one point you say he was born after the war, which would make him an infant, and at another you amend yourself and say that he was born during the end of it. You also call Falkvard Ealvard.) However, none of these really require changing to be accepted considering the semantic nature.
I enjoyed reading about Beldain and his brother, looking forward to see where they fit in and where he gets his pants from.
Your magic app is good to go now. Enjoy Saphriel, and welcome!

Roch Lussa
-Character race:
Half high elf, half human.
-Character gender:
male
-Character age:
27
-Character Occupation (optional, note you still must talk to the lord about loaning or purchasing any stall/shop for your character if he/she would have one. This more or less helps us to better understand your characters starting skill set):
Roch enjoys riding horses, and putting on horse shows. He really likes dressage, but jumping and racing make him happy too. He already owns a horse by the name of Artemis. In his free time he writes poems.
-Character description (At least one to two paragraphs describing your character’s visual appearance.):
A horse flies through the woods. On him is a young man riding bareback. He has a black crop of hair, covering his short yet pointed ears. His hair is a little bit overgrown, and his black bangs are pushed back by the wind. A slight smile accompanies his narrowed green eyes. Leaning forward in the wind, his body has a couple articles of clothing on it. A well worn leather jacket flaps out behind him, and under it a dirtied white shirt. He wears jeans, and at the end of them, boots. His jeans are well worn as well, flapping in the wind. His hands stroke the horses neck, and the horse leans, both of them urging to go faster. The legs of the speckled brown horse are a blur, and his neck is straight in front of him, extended to its fullest.
-Character personality and traits (At least one to two paragraphs describing their personality traits and/or quirks.):
A young man walks into the tavern, and sits down on a stool. He orders a beer and takes a deep drink, and then sets it down. He talks to the waitress, and gets a room. Before he goes to bed, he feeds his horse, and strokes him. He takes the saddle off of Artemis, and takes it upstairs to his room. He puts it on his dresser, and gets into bed after undressing.
The morning comes and the man, Roch comes down. He is wearing his daily attire, and he leans against the wall and smiles at the busy waitress. She glances up at him, before turning back to the well-worn counter-top, which she is scrubbing vigorously. He starts talking, and the waitress looks up and listens.
"This place is so small,
So quaint and clean...
Small but good,
like beer.
I admire you for caring for it,
Cleaning, scrubbing and smiling at everyone who comes into the door..."
The man flips a coin to her, and leaves with his saddle. A minute later, she sees Artemis rearing and galloping away.
-Character biography (At least three paragraphs describing your character's history and experiences):
"Son, you were born in the woods and its time you learn some manners. I know you never knew your ma, and it has been pretty hard throughout your life. You have learned how to ride, and how to do the good deeds like helpin' animals. You are a fine fellow, and I reckon people will take to you, but there are some things, some rules you need to know out there in the cities."
"Yes pa?"
"Well, I know it might be hard to understand this immediately, but these are the things."
The young Roch watched his dad intently over the fire, waiting for his figment of information."
"God is great, beer is good, and people are crazy."
Roch looked at him, confused but with a measure of understanding.
"Now young 'un, you should go somewhere and make a living. I cant help you anymore from here."
The young boy nodded, and said, "I'm going to retire for the night."
They both climbed into a worn and dirty tent and fell asleep.
It was the morning, and Roch rolled over to his back. "Mornin' pops."
There was no answer. Roch sat up, and looked into the aged face of his father. It was pale, and there was a smile on it.
"I love you pa. I hope you know that." With that, Roch got onto his horse and rode out of the clearing, to his future.

"Artemis! Get 'er!" Roch jumps onto the brown speckled horse, and leans in, chasing the female child. As she continues to run, glancing back, they both know who is gaining. She looks frightened, and she climbs up onto a tree, quick as a squirrel. The horse stops at the base of the tree, and the man shouts up at the child, "What is your name young 'un?"
"Um, Alexa sir."
"You need that money?"
A trembling, female voice answered, "y-yes sir..."
"How 'bout I make a deal with you. I need that money too, but I bet you need it more than me. I wont tell anyone about you and I will let you keep the money on one condition."
"What is it, sir?"
"Don't try it again. I don't want a pretty face like you to get hurt. y'hear me?"
"Um, Yes sir."
"Now, how about a nice place for you to stay the night? I know a pretty nice tavern, and I can give you a ride."
You’re heading back to the city through the woods when you hear a whining coming from nearby. Upon further investigation you come across a grey-coloured wolf that appears to have its leg caught in a bear trap. Around it is three smaller lumps of fur, obviously puppies belonging to the trapped mother. Without help, they’ll all die, but wolf skins are quite valuable too, not to mention that the nearby farms suffer quite a bit from the wolf population.
"Artemis, that was a great ride!" Artemis and Roch gallop through the woods, ecstatic after a long ride. They come to a clearing, and slow down. Roch swings down from Artemis's back and walks up to the wolf, leg bleeding. He gently strokes her dense fur, and takes out a thick knife. He loosens the trap and gently pulls the hurt leg out, and takes of his shirt. He wraps the leg tightly with the shirt and throws the wolf a rabbit that he had caught. He puts his jacket on over his shirtless front, and takes off with Artemis.

Overall a very good app, but we would like to see you expand on your biography. Add a few more details, perhaps reactions to the war itself or other figures of interest in her history. Just a little more and this app will be perfect.

Very enjoyable app but the Metagaming and powergaming definitions are lackluster. Please adjust those and you will find yourself accepted rapidly.
As you are an existing player please move this application to the Enjin character forums.

-Character name: [b]Bladrick Cragface[/b]
-Character race: [b]Dwarf[/b]
-Character gender: [b]Male[/b]
-Character age: [b]95[/b]
-Character Occupation (optional, note you still must talk to the lord about loaning or purchasing any stall/shop for your character if he/she would have one. This more or less helps us to better understand your characters starting skill set): [b]Engineer/Gunsmith. Baldrick spent the better half of his young days from the age of 20-45 he studied the skill and career of an Engineer, in the field of building Furnaces, Forges, and smithies large and small. It was during a revelation he discovered Cannons and it was after that event he spent the two years among the humans to learn all he can about Cannons and forging techniques. After the two years of formal training he left to return to his Clan and continue his cannoneer studies. [/b]
-Character description(At least one to two paragraphs describing your character’s visual appearance.):
[b]Baldrick Cragbrow will win no beauty contests. His wizened face face shows the long years of service he has given to his passion of engineering through multiple pocks and scars, most notably the thick gash across his nose. A nose ring also extends from his battered nose, circular and gold like one would find a bull wearing. His caribbean sunset beard is silvering with his age and if one were to look very closely at his nostrils, they might find them stained grey from his “drug” of choice. Some of the ends of his beard are blackened and seared from getting a little too close to his work. Baldrick wears a fashionable metal eyepatch which covers the more scarred side of his face which he lost to a cannon. [/b]
[b]Despite his age and ragged face, Baldrick still has a muscular build. He is barrel chested and strong. If one to look at his hands they would note he is missing his middle, ring and pinky fingers. He is rarely seen without his leather engineering apron on. Under that he has a green woolen long sleeved shirt and brown pants. His boots are made of sturdy leather and are cobbled together with hobnails[/b]
-Character personality and traits(At least one to two paragraphs describing their personality traits and/or quirks.):
[b]Baldrick is a dwarf of controlled but volatile emotions. At one moment this seemingly calm dwarf can burst out into laughter or howling anger, determining of course on the social cues that he picks up on. But Baldrick also has a very kind side to him to those within his house and clan, and the few outside of his race that wins his trust, he is loyal and brave to a fault. He holds himself very proudly and will show off all his scars to anyone that asks to see them, he treats them as badges of honor. His personality is also deep rooted in the customs and traditions of dwarven society. But this side of him is conflicted with his very growing interest in the new inventions that the other races of the world are coming up with. One of these inventions are the Cannons. Since Bladricks discovery of these war machines, he has barely any time to think of anything else. This could've been caused from accident that happened shortly after his discovery of the cannon but who knows.[/b]
[b]Something that he has picked up from his time around artillery and gunpowder is he has taken up the knack of snorting the coarse black powder. He enjoys the burning and he believes it gives him inspiration for his study and fanatical interest of the Guns. [/b]
-Character biography(At least three paragraphs describing your character's history and experiences):
[b]Baldrick Cragbrow, practiced engineering from a young age. He had a stern but fair father named Borek. His mother Felda was kind and brave. These traits led Baldrick to grow up into a very forward sort of a dwarf, not afraid to speak his mind, but patient and careful with his words. The beardling grew up in the dwarven city of Thonduhm. Baldrick didn’t have too many friends in his younger days. He kept to himself and studied what interested him which was engineering. His research into that blossomed into a love for metallurgy as well. There was something beautiful and satisfying about the forge. This interest developed into his adult life as he took a career approach to them by creating forges of various types for a living. He also studied the various metals which bind all dwarfs together. [/b]
[b]It was in his 45th year that he was sent to a human settlement. He was sent there to build and construct a specialized foundry. This foundry’s purpose was unknown to the young Baldrick, but nevertheless he would do his job. It was during this project of the foundry that he heard out in the courtyard a loud commotion. He ran out of the building to see men scurrying about in a huff. As he approached a gathering of men who were huddled around a large metal cylinder one of them yelled “GET DOWN!” to which many of them ducked. Baldrick, being stubborn and confused on what was said, continued to walk forward when he was abruptly stopped by an explosion. It was at this point that everything went dark and he lost consciousness. [/b]
[b]He awoke in the infirmary to where he had found a nurse watching over him. She was startled to see him awake and went to his bedside and asked how he was feeling. Baldrick sat up in the bed, shocked and awestruck and asked her what happened? The nurse then described to him how the experimental weapon went off and took a bit of his face with it. The stunned dwarf then attempted to stagger to his feet, much to the nurse’s dismay. Due to his stubbornness she could not convince the wounded dwarf to lie back down. Baldrick took off running back to where the accident happened.[/b]
[b]Upon his arrival back in the courtyard he gathered many weird glances, for he was dressed in a long nightgown and his head and face were heavily bandaged. Another experiment was underway and he watched with sheer and fanatical amazement as the cannon successfully fired its payload down the courtyard into a wool and straw target. Something in Baldrick clicked, an answer from the ancestors, in the click boom and smoke and destructive power he beheld he found his new love, cannons. From there he sought out the man responsible for these cannons and stated he would build as many forges and foundries as needed as long as he could learn all that he could about the magnificent devices. [/b]
[b]He spends the next two years among the human engineers and inventors building and learning all he can about cannons and the art of gunpowder. Itis after this time that he then packed up all of his belongings and notes and returned to his Thoraekling Clan to share with them what he had learned.[/b]
-Please give us a short RP response to these two scenarios. (At least one paragraph for each):
You’re walking around the markets at around noon. There’s a lot of people around you, still gathering their items as they prepare to shut down their many stands. Suddenly you feel a gentle lifting of your coin purse as a child graces you and soon after they take off sprinting. You have been robbed.
[b]“Ahhh ya wee bugger!” Baldrick would then seek out the one who lifted his coins and begin to chase after his. Like a bull he would charge through crowds to catch the thief. He would try to make sure not to knock anyone over or cause harm. But after catching up to the no good bugger that stole from him he would give out a wild howl of excitement as he would dive at the thief. “Got ya, you wet sack of Goat fart! Give me back me coin! Steal from a dwarf eh?” Bladrick would then grab the front of his shirt and pull him close enough to Baldrick’s face to smell the sour tinge of beer and cheese on his breath. “Now… Give it over ya arseling snotling terd, before I wring yer manling neck!” Bladrick to prove his anger would give the thief a firm shake and a growl.After Baldrick using his dwarven “negotiational” skills on this welp he would collect his coins and stand up to brush himself off. “Come on then thief, you and I are going to go see the local guard about showing you the error of your career choice.” Baldrick would go to grab the man's arm and lead him to the nearest guard.[/b]
You’re heading back to the city through the woods when you hear a whining coming from nearby. Upon further investigation you come across a grey-coloured wolf that appears to have its leg caught in a bear trap. Around it is three smaller lumps of fur, obviously puppies belonging to the trapped mother. Without help, they’ll all die, but wolf skins are quite valuable too, not to mention that the nearby farms suffer quite a bit from the wolf population.
[b]“Ya poor bugger. Looks like yer all caught up in a bit of a shat spot, eh?” Baldrick goes to grab one of his throwing axes. “Ahh well I’ll put ya out of your pain beast. I need me a new pair of ‘em gloves. Or maybe a sheath for my favorite wrench and hammer.” Bladrick cracks a smile at the idea of a fancy new sheath. After snapping back to moment at hand Baldrick takes his proper stance and lines up the shot with his axe and gives it a good strong throw at the trapped animal and caught it right in the neck. After a few moments of the animal give its last spasms of life Baldrick goes over and frees the dead wolf's leg and begins to field dress its carcass. After a little while Baldrick collects the hide and places the rest of the carcass into a nearby bush and cleaned his tools and got back onto the road and continue on his way.[/b]

Arthur is your basic Elven male, he likes most things other might. His personality is one of sarcasm when the situation
arises for him to crack a joke or do something that might end up getting him in trouble. When he is not being a
comical *******, he like to relax and play with some sort of weapon.
He tends to like people even though people don't like him at times from his sarcastic tone. One may look at him
and be like, "He looks nice, but he has a mouth on him that gets him in trouble" even when he means good. When
a situation arises where his friends or family is at risk, he can hop into action and start slicing away with whatever
weapons he has on hand even if he is not skilled with it or not.
-Character biography (At least three paragraphs describing your character's history and experiences):
Arthur Halsberg was born in a small village to the east with the name Artemis Telrunya, which was an odd name for someone who was raised in a human town. A few years inot his childhood, he adopted the name Arthur from a few
children who couldn't pronounce his name and thus, lived by Arthur. so he could When he was growing up, he wasn't the best example of what a child should be. He was loud, arrogant, and troublesome when he was out in public which really confused his parents since when he went home and sat down, he was a quiet as church mouse, barely
muttering a word until his parents asked him how he was. This phase kept on for a few years before he matured
in to Elven-Teen years.
When he grew a bit older, looking like an Elven teen, he was still on a bad-streak with his behaviors but he was
getting better in the eyes of his peers. He reserved his tongue in the heat of an argument and he is less inclined to
insult. Some might say, 'He got the shite beaten out of him n' now he's wised up a bit." Which might be true but
most wouldn't know. On most days, you could have found Arthur wandering the roads of his home village and
maybe getting into a small scrap with some local teens or on a good day, just being lazy and taking a cat-nap in
a cart full of hay.
When he aged to be an Adult, around the age of 35 or so, he set off into the world to see what is can offer, only
taking a shoddy longsword, heavy winter coat, and some preserved foods to keep him going for a while. He though
one day, to relate to human culture more, he would adopt a human surname to be his own. The name he chose was Halsberg, he goes it from when he stumbled across a decaying corpse and decided to look through his belongings. He found a canteen with the name 'Halsberg' engraved into it. When he started traveling and slowly realized he didn't want to really be in his role as a wandering skirmisher for the rest of his elongated life, so, he started following the signs to the nearest city he could find.
-Please give us a short RP response to these two scenarios. (At least one paragraph for each):
You’re walking around the markets at around noon. There’s a lot of people around you, still gathering their items as they prepare to shut down their many stands. Suddenly you feel a gentle lifting of your coin purse as a child graces you and soon after they take off sprinting. You have been robbed.
Arthur looks towards the child and then back to his belt where he though he had secured his coin purse. In disbelief, he looked around at the stalls to see if any guardsmen were around to see if any of them saw what just happened. But alas, none were able to be found in the market area.
When he turned around to see he could still figure out where the child went off to, he saw nothing but merchants packing up for the day and
peasants returning to their homes before they got robbed also.
You’re heading back to the city through the woods when you hear a whining coming from nearby. Upon further investigation you come across a grey-coloured wolf that appears to have its leg caught in a bear trap. Around it is three smaller lumps of fur, obviously puppies belonging to the trapped mother. Without help, they’ll all die, but wolf skins are quite valuable too, not to mention that the nearby farms suffer quite a bit from the wolf population.
Arthur looks around the area to see if any other Humans or Elves were around to see his actions. When he notices that there is no one else around the area. He slowly approached the wounded wolf and her pups, trying to not infuriate them to attack him. When he kneels down to the trap, the Wolf snarls at him but eases off as he stilled his body, letting her see that he wasn't there to hurt her or attack anyone. When he starts to fiddle with the trap, he notices that the trap has a release leaver on it right below the joins that he can flip and the trap opens to let the wolf free. Sooooo...
He does so, flipping the leaver to let the trap release. When he pulls his hand back and fell onto his rear, watching as the Mother Wolf & Co jump from the area of the trap and back into the foliage of the local woods.
Arthur get up and dusts off his clothing, looking around just in case someone saw him release the wolf back to terrorize the farms. With a quick scan of the treeline, he sees that no one is there and walks off to continue his travel back to the main city.

-Magic Biography; Explain the reason you want your character to have magic through backstory application: (At least three extremely well-crafted paragraphs. You must describe to us why your character can use magic, what drives him to further his ability, how he learned that he could use magic, and what benefits magic brings to this character, what type of magic they’ll strive to use, etc. This is not a middle school paper! I will not accept applications that say “My character got my magic from x, and he wants to use it because it’ll help him! Also for RP!")
-Please give an example in your own words describing the limitations placed upon those who use magic (This should be at least one well-crafted paragraph):
-Please give a description of the magic system in your own words:
-You are given a weak trinket of <blank>, you haven't had much practice with magic yet, but you will try your best. Describe some things you could/would do with this trinket:

There is something of an inconsistency in this application; through most of it you refer to your character as a High-Elf, but at one point you state he is 'your basic human male.' Furthermore, you state that he is a decent height at six-foot-nothing. High-Elves, male and female, average at 7' so he would be incredibly short for a member of that species.
We would like you to expand upon your biography. The character looks like he will be great fun so hopefully we will hear back from you shortly!
I've updated my application. I also switched my race to Half-Elf since I saw that it was a race I could use.
Removed. Have a nice day, Saphriel.
