While there doesn't seem to be much of a problem in your OOC, I do see problems in the application. There are no lore destroying problems, here however I would request that you fill your application to meet the standards. Without filling the minimal requirement it would seem rather lackluster of a character to know little of her. While she seems like a good idea for a character in the server, I can simply say that lengthening the application and adding details is a key factor. Thank you for your time, and we hope you submit another application!
Interesting and well written read! Enjoyed this application thoroughly and found much interest in the people of A'isha's cult. While they hold some rather intriguing values and beliefs, I think they are going to cause a good stir in RP when the topic of the Gods is brought up. I'd like to also accept your magic application as well, and I hope you enjoy the Realm Of Saphriel!
While you did fix some of the flaws, you still did mention the tournament. This was probably something you allowed to pass your mind in the reworking of the application. I will allow that to pass, though I will remark the slightly lacking IC information given of this character. Due to some attention that may arise from this, we will be watching closely to your RP. Making sure you're responsive, and RPing properly. Should players make a reasonable complaint or staff take notice to this, we will remove you if the staff feel you may cause problems. Other than that, enjoy the server, and make sure you follow rules!

-Character age: 18
-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):
She use to be potatoe picker then latter a ***** but has recently been unemployed.
-Character description (At least one to two paragraphs describing your character’s visual appearance.):
Sasha has black hair with a long red strand that goes down the side of her face. She has pale skin from mainly going out at night. The people that know her usually call her Zombie cause she rarely sleeps has almost always has bags under her eyes. Sasha usually uses black Kohl around her eyes to try and hide her bags. Shes leans and walks like a zombie dragging her feet around.
-Character personality and traits (At least one to two paragraphs describing their personality traits and/or quirks.):
Sasha drinks a lot and her kidneys have adapted and she now has a much harder time getting drunk than she use too.
Sasha is a socialite witch means she loves to hang around people and loves to meet new people. Sasha has a lack of caring of what people think of her mainly because she's always judged as a bad sort of human. The funny thing about Sasha is that although she is labelled as one of the most filthy abominations known to man she has an incredible immune systems allowing her to spend her time sitting in the rain without the risk of getting a cold.
Sasha dose not care for people that whine about there problems but helps people in need.(She helps people that don't ask for help)
-Character biography (At least three paragraphs describing your character's history and experiences):
Sasha was born into the MoonSoal family, once known for hunting vampires and keeping other abominations in check.
Sasha's Father, Fendrick MoonSoal still follows the way of his ancestors and trains every day for the day vampires return. Sasha on the other hand dose not care for wasting her time on something what in her mind is a wast of time. Although Sasha's Father made her learn how to aim and fire a crossbow along with how to dispose of a Vampire's and Werewolves. Sasha's father and her never got along mainly because Sasha hated her father for always being away when she was young. Since her father never cared for her why care for him?
Sasha's mother, Kalisa MoonSoal is one of the most kind and loving people you will ever meet helping any one and every one with a smile on her face through every day. Sasha has had to put up with baggers taking her bed while she's had to sleep els where cause of her mothers loving attitude towards strangers. Sasha usually went to some one els's house and was just company under covers for them. All of the MoonSaols believe in in higher beings and usually dragged Sasha around with them when she'd rather be hanging around her friends. Since Sasha's time is always used up you would find her hanging around the tavern at night getting people to buy drinks for her and her friends with the money she was given by her father to pay to the gods. Sasha made alot more freinds with boys than girls mainly because boys didn't ***** about her as much as girls did.
As Sasha has gotten older she has only gotten worse after leaving her family's potato farm at the age of 16 to sell her body for pleasure for both her and others. She was the busiest out of all the whores mainly because she was the youngest there. It was not until last week one of her friend brought up that she might get pregnant that she decided to quit her job. Sasha has been looking around for a job all week and had no luck so far....
-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.
Sasha would sprint after the child until she would catch up with its small legs. After catching the child she would turn it to face her before hooking the child across the face after the child would fall to the ground she would take her coin purse back. "Sorry kid, you wont learn not to steal without some one showing you will end up getting hurt". Sasha would then help the child up and give it some bread. "Get Lost before i tell the guards your a thief" Sasha would then turn away from the child before walking off.
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.
Sasha would look at the wolf before saying "I bet you've killed innocent people and your pups will too" Sasha would then lay down on her back in front of the wolf mother with her legs curled up before quickly reaching her legs out to spread the wolf mother's upper front legs apart and continue doing so til the Wolf would collapse from breaking its rib cage. Leaves would blow around in the afternoon breeze as Sasha looks at the pups hiding under their mother. Sasha would then stand up leaving the rest for nature to claim.
Extra notes (Optional, could include theme songs, pictures, etc.):
I guess I should just choose a different character cause she was really sheltered so she doesnt know a lot about the world, the point of this is to make her learn about the world as she goes....that and her original story was very graphic

The definitions in the OOC section need to be redone. They are all pointing in the correct direction, but are not at a place that I would like to see them at. The rest of the application will need much more significant changes. The character decription, personality and traits, and biography all need to be expanded upon greatly. The biography is lacking in any connections to the lore and it doesn't grant the reader the full sense of how he survived at such a young age while both parents were in jail. Would you be able to elaborate on how it is that a young child would be able to disguise himself as a guard? It also seems that the portion about being bit by a wolf is included because you may be looking for the character to become a Werewolf. This is something that is earned IC through Roleplay.
The two RP responses need a great deal of work as well. These are what really give us a sense of how you will be interacting on the server and the very simple response that you have given are not adequate. Finally, you made mention of one trait about Reiyker being "horrid at magic"... He would not possess any magical ability at all without a completed magic application.
In the personality and traits section you have listed that she has a distaste for guards. I would like to see why she feels that way as it is not made clear in any section. Additionally, I would like to know more about the character aside from their story. Adding a few more lines to the description and personality sections would be a good way to do this.
I feel that the entire biography needs to be reworked or redone. Six days without food, water, and new oxygen would have serious effects on adults. Sheree seems to be eight years at the time of her entrapment which would give her an even greater survival disadvantage. The maximum time an individual can go without water seems to be a week. In addition to the staggeringly low survival chance, Sheree would have to deal with more than the insanity you have decided to place on her. The malnutrition would likely cause some growth retardation among other various things. Starvation in children creates growth defects, simply put.
Moving past this issue is the fact that she was abandoned after her parents looked after her for ten years. This comes across as an issue. In the case that her state of madness was truly something her parents could not deal with then they likely would not have held out for ten whole years. If you decide to keep this in the biography, I would suggest expanding largely upon the interactions between her and her parents that would lead to them abandoning her.
Just like the biography, the RP examples could be expanded. I feel that the RP examples are near where they should be, but the format that they are in is not what I'd like to see. Perhaps if you thought of it as telling a story it would flow more easily for the reader. Instead of saying something like "Would look around to see that a child..." you could try "Sheree would look around..." This would make the whole section more comprehensible.
There is just one thing strange I noticed in the application. You spelled his name with a "Z" on two occurrences, one of which is on the character name line. Other than that, everything is wonderful! We do not limit characters from swearing, just be mindful of it in OOC.
A very fun and interesting character, I do look forward to seeing him in action. Please note, that while your OoC definitions were acceptable, that avoiding damage forever can be considered powergaming. Also note that you cannot start with a magical trinket of any kind. Feel free to PM me your skype so we can add you to the chat.
-Skype name (Optional, for server OOC chat): I don't use Skype anymore, though I do use Discord (Sheep#5170).
-Do you have any prior roleplay-related experience, if so could you give an example?:
I have been roleplaying for approximately 13-14 years on different mediums, mainly on Warcraft III in the past and Minecraft servers in the most recent years.
-Define Power-gaming in your own words:
Powergaming takes multiple forms, but can be generalized as the following:
Directly applying an action to another’s character (usually only harmful actions are seen as powergaming, though it is definitely not limited to such). I however believe that powergaming in some cases is completely fine; for example, there are roleplayers I trust and know well enough that I do not mind if they force actions onto my characters.
Using skills, abilities or feats unavailable or otherwise impossible for the character within the world’s setting.
Any action that benefits a character unnaturally.
-Define Meta-gaming in your own words:
Metagaming is simply granting a character information they should not have knowledge of, or deciding their actions based on such information.
-Define Role-Playing in your own words:
Interacting with an environment through a character, a 'character' being the representation of something within the universe of the environment; it is not limited to sentient beings in the sense of the term, however it is generally is constricted to them as sentient beings offer more possibilities than, say, a rock.

-Character age: 23
-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):
None / traveling huntress
-Character description (At least one to two paragraphs describing your character’s visual appearance.):
Ruka has somewhat long, wavy, slightly messy tamarind hair falling below her shoulders. Her sharp, penetrating green eyes most likely feature an uninterested, or apathetic expression, especially if meeting strangers . Somewhat slander, she stands at a mere 5'3", often the subject of amicable teasing by friends. Her brown leather clothing, though simple and rather rough in appearance and design, offers her warmth, through a layer of wool beneath the leather. Ruka also wears leather, fingerless gauntlet gloves. A strap diagonally crosses her chest, to which a recurve bow and a quiver are usually attached, along with two leather pouches: the first, small, contains a leather flask, a wooden tinderbox and a whittling knife. The second is used solely to contain a shawl. Light, tight boots are ordinarily present on her feet.
-Character personality and traits (At least one to two paragraphs describing their personality traits and/or quirks.):
She is generally untrusting of strangers, and quick to make an opinion of them. Whilst wary, she is however very quick to take a liking to people, particularly those playful or innocent. It is uncommon for her to speak more than a few words with those she has not befriended, if at all, and as such is usually seen as a quiet individual.
Once a relationship has been established, she may begin amicable teasing, and will often display a smile. Very loyal to her friends, she will without hesitation cover for them, ignoring any harm that may befall her as a result. She prioritizes her friends before herself in all situations. If alone however, her survival will be her main focus, and so if she believes that fleeing or surrendering are the best options, she will not recklessly charge into her death.
Ruka enjoys physical contact such as hugs and will attempt to use it as a means to display fondness. She may at times act as a source of comfort to distressed friends, though words aren't her forté. On the opposite side of the scale, she may be seen as cold or cruel if her loved ones are exposed to danger, offering no mercy to the source of aforementioned danger, showing no qualms about putting down others. She is however rather obedient, and will put her will aside when asked to by someone she trusts or respects.
She cares not for wealth, prestige and fame, choosing to live a simple life off of the wild. She frowns upon disrespect towards nature or the hunt, though she will generally not act upon it. She loves children and will look out for them whether she knows them or not.
-Character biography (At least three paragraphs describing your character's history and experiences):
Born in a rather small, secluded hamlet, she was raised from childhood to succeed the family's duties as the hamlet's protectors. She saw her older sister as an almost heroic role model, and was easily amazed by anything she did or taught her. It is whilst trying to be like her, that she dutifully learned all she was taught, treating every bit as being of monumental importance if she were to become as wise and strong as her sister.
The inhabitants of this communist-like village were mostly composed of hunter-gatherers, and so all were expected to help sustain the foodstock. All children were taught about the regional flora and the basics of gathering, Ruka being no exception to this. Other skills were also generally taught, such as literacy, fletching or sewing, though not as great of importance as those required for their survival. The practice and use of a bow also begun at a young age, alongside tracking and hunting. Children were not however expected to actually hunt, or wield a hunting bow given their age.
Ruka's early years were spent principally focusing on learning most of what was offered, leaving very little to no time for play. She did not mind this fact however, and to this day sees it as 'normal'. As she aged, she began pouring most of her efforts into the art of hunting itself, as she would be required to begin providing for the hamlet in a few years. It was in her early teenager years that her sister took her away from this place, for reasons unknown to her. What she did know however, was that she would be traveling with her, and so gladly followed.
This voyage lasted but a few years, as they were eventually separated. It was not long after however that she met and befriended a slightly older man and continued her travels with him until her early 20s. He eventually settled down with a wife, and, not wanting her to be stuck in one place, told her to continue on without him. She agreed and resumed traveling, searching for her sibling as an added benefit.
-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.
She slowly looks down to where her purse should have been, her eyebrows slightly lifting as her mouth opens a little, a tad surprised. She lifts her head back up, staring off into the crowd for a moment before closing her mouth, a tad saddened, though she does not chase after the child, thinking that they must have needed it rather badly.
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.
A slight frown makes its way onto her facial expression, rapidly moving her gaze downwards to avoid eye contact with the wolf, lightly biting her lower lip, the wolf reminding her of her friend's own. She ponders for a few short seconds before deciding to approach it, her walking pace quite sluggish, trying to avoid agitating and stressing it further. Whenever the wolf would growl or show hostility, she would stop still in her tracks and wait, taking her time as she tries to makes sure it becomes used to her presence. Eventually within its reach, she continues with care and calmness as she reaches for the trap, which she promptly forces open. She would then follow the wolves with her eyes as they run off, shortly thereafter continuing on her way.**
**I dislike roleplaying two parties in a given scenario, so I wrote the part where different actions are plausible based on what responses could be given in an assuming 'would' fashion.
Extra notes (Optional, could include theme songs, pictures, etc.): Pictures can be found here. Note however that she was originally an elf, and so the pictures represent her with pointed ears. I chose to modify her to be human for this server, as she did not fit either of the elf races.

I'm new to RP. This would (possibly) be my first non-vanilla server.
-Define Power-gaming in your own words:
Being new to RP terminology, I did have to look these definitions up. From what I understand, power-gaming is basically ending interactions immediately by using moves/attacks/etc that can't be responded to. Essentially drains the fun out of play for others.

Meta-gaming is using information you, OOC, know but your character does not.

Role-playing is the act of taking on a self-created persona and using it for the purposes of a game. It comes in several forms and intensities, for example, a light role-play (though I've no idea if there's an actual term for it) would be something you could break character in.

-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):
Quris is currently unemployed.
-Character description (At least one to two paragraphs describing your character’s visual appearance.):
Quris is lanky and thin, standing at 5'10. He possesses dark brown skin, wild, curly black hair-- presumably from his human mother's side-- and very light brown eyes. He typically does not do much with his hair, though he can occasionally be bothered to pull it into a ponytail or bun. Quris travels in a navy doublet over his black undershirt along with a long navy cloak. For movement purposes, he wears black canvas pants and sturdy, black leather boots. He carries a worn leather satchel in which he keeps his arm blades and brass knuckles. Underneath his heavy clothing, Quris is covered in several scars and burns.
-Character personality and traits (At least one to two paragraphs describing their personality traits and/or quirks.):
Quris is calm to a fault. Seemingly unendingly patient, Quris rarely loses his temper and comes across as a compassionate, mature individual. He is often seen as empathetic despite his quiet nature and is easily confided in. Behind his untouchable outwards demeanor, Quris is rather callous. He cares very little for others problems aside from the very few who have managed to grow close to him. He enjoys subtly pushing others to bad decisions and watching chaotic situations from afar. He has very little patience for most people, finding both their problems and them to be a colossal waste of his time and energy.
Quris is very self-conscious and wary in the presence of most people though it never shows on the surface. He holds his public appearance and reputation to high standards; however, because of his penchant for exacerbating other's issues, he often moves to find a "fresh start" when his reputation is more tarnished than he can fix. Even though he cares for how he is seen; Quris is a hermit, mostly avoiding both people and the outdoors whenever possible. Hey enjoys small spaces in which he feels safe in the ability to see the entirety of the world immediately around him. Despite his nihilistic attitude and general dismissal to most intelligent life, Quris is impossibly kind to animals and children, showing what is, perhaps, the truest version of himself only in their company.
-Character biography (At least three paragraphs describing your character's history and experiences):
Quris was born to a human mother and a high elf father. His father already held some shame from allowing himself to be “bewitched” by a human; however, when Quris was born and took after his mother more in appearance, that shame quadrupled and his father became violent.
Quris’s childhood was an endless spiral of abuse that only ever broke when it others seemed suspicious. His mother grew quiet and reserved, taking a large interest in reading to distance herself from the hell around her. Because of her unwillingness to face reality, Quris was left to fend for himself where his father was concerned. Quris couldn’t blame his mother for her neglect seeing as he to turned to knowledge to escape his homelife whenever he had the chance. As he grew older, Quris grew more violent, eventually getting to a point at which he pledged to his father that he would kill him slowly, repaying him with two years for every one he’d abused Quris.
The threat did lessen the abuse for a short period of time, though it picked back up when Quris was twenty, his father telling him that, “if he wasn’t happy with his household, he could leave.” However, because his father was ostracized from other high elves for fraternizing with a human and his mother had no kin to speak of, Quris decided to endure until he reached majority.
During the last ten years of his residence with his parents, his father’s abuse reached peak violence. Quris was pummeled, burned, and beaten regularly, often before he had the strength to recover from previous scuffles. In this time, Quris began to display a magical affinity, something his parents had both written off as unlikely in his childhood. Quris’s survival in that last decade was made possible only by the appearance of his magic. Forced to train his ability by healing himself daily, Quris slowly became able to take care of a few of the larger wounds inflicted on him.
When he reached thirty years of age, Quris smuggled a hefty sum of money from his father’s reserve, kissed his sleeping mother goodbye, and stole away in the dead of night.
He spent his time traveling and gaining knowledge, wanting nothing more than to have a small shop, a decent house, and a slow-paced, comfortable life. He found people to be far too enamored with inane problems and, despite his best intentions, couldn’t help but see them as petty entertainment and make a mockery of them in the comfort of his own mind. Continuing to hone his magic and knowledge, Quris lived taking up odd jobs to pay for food and housing before moving on. Over the course of the year, he worked to snuff out the violent urges that plagued him until he finally accepted that they were a part of his person and fighting himself wasn’t something he was prepared to do. Now, at forty-three, he has learned to indulge his urges just enough to sate them so that they do not interfere with his studies.
-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.
Quris breathes out slowly, letting his anger and will to hurt go when he notices the thief was but a child. Speeding his pace to a gentle jog, he follows the child for a while until they are aways from the crowded marketplace. The child turns to check behind him, giving Quris the opportunity to grab the boy and retrieve his wallet. The child flinches away from Quris, expecting to be hit, but Quris merely frees seven coins from the depths of his purse and offers them to the boy, saying, “Should you ever have need, I will help you. Be well.” And goes on his way.
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.
With a pained sigh of almost perfect empathy, Quris slowly and carefully frees the mother wolf from her binds. He is bitten and scratched multiple times during this but carries on determinedly. Taking the time to heal as much of the wound as he can, Quris finally sits back when his work is done. He reaches into his bag for a bit of dried meat and offers it to the wolf, who snaps it from his hands. Carefully, he wraps her pups into his cloak and offers her another piece of jerky, whispering comfort as he leads her away from the farms nearby where she and her pups are likely to be killed.
Extra notes (Optional, could include theme songs, pictures, etc.): N/A
Only fill out below if you want your character to have magic capabilities. If you don't fill this out, then your character will be incapable of performing any form of magic. Note that it will take significant in character practice and experience to become any form of proficient in magic.
-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!")
When Quris’s father became exceedingly violent, Quris was often left on the brink of death with wounds that would normally grow infected. For the sole purpose of saving his own life, Quris began to show a minute ability to heal himself. This ability originally didn’t help him much and had to be trained over the course of a decade. The affinity for magic benefits Quris by allowing him to have reached majority and by blinding him to his higher affinity to harmful magic for a time, allowing him to reach majority without having committed patricide. Had Quris’s magic developed originally for combat, his father would be dead.
After leaving his father’s house, Quris focused less on healing magic because he seemed to hit a plateau quite quickly. His affinity was more in combative magic, specifically dark magic. Quris avoided dark magic at first, trying his hardest to tamp down on his propensity for violence and instead focused on elemental magic, studying it at length. After understanding and accepting his limits, Quris finally allowed himself to study his best ability in full.
Quris typically only uses his magic for the purpose of training or to help animals and children. He keeps his holy magic well trained if only for an innate fear of ever being put into the kind of helpless situation he was in as a child. Because his continuation into magic-related ventures was a product of his thirst for knowledge, Quris pushes himself to learn more of magic and hone every aspect of the magic he has. He much more prefers to use arm blades paired with brass knuckles in combat.
-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):
Magical limitations are necessary to limit the opportunities available to power game. Limitations should include things that restrict magic from making any one person overpowered or unbeatable. For example, one hit kills that don’t leave the caster completely vulnerable for a significant amount of time are off-limits. This also means things like summoning must have boundaries since summoned monsters are often more powerful than the summoner. Magic that allows people to avoid or sidestep situations in a seemingly unfair way (i.e. human alteration without limitations) drains the fun from the experience and is extremely difficult to judge. Magical limitations are needed to make the RP experience seem less like a free-for-all and more structured, fair, and realistic.
-Please give a description of the magic system in your own words:
The magic system consists of the elementals, holy, and dark magic. Every being has some affinity for magic, whether that be zero or higher. This affinity controls just how strong a character’s magic can be. Because magical affinity is a rarity to begin with, extremely strong casters are almost unheard of and not a role most characters should try to assume. Magic is part of a balance, weighed with physicality, and neither should or could ever fully eclipse the other for any person.
-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:
Quris spends a week simply noting the trinket of healing’s properties, testing and turning in every way and at every angle until he knows the trinket more than he knows his own mind. He fills the next few days hypothesizing how exactly to increase it’s ability to give constant, light healing. After he’s made his preparations, he begins to work on the trinket slowly and meticulously. When it is finished, he considers making more of them to distribute to the street rats he so often sees sporting light scrapes and scratches.
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.
It seems that this new application has cleaned up most of the issues that the last one held. I will allow this iteration to pass though I will remark that the IC information of this character is lacking somewhat. Due to some attention that may arise from this, we will be watching closely to your RP. Making sure you're responsive, and RPing properly. Should players make a reasonable complaint or staff take notice to this, we will remove you if the staff feel you may cause problems. Other than that, enjoy the server, and make sure you follow rules!
While reading through your application it seems as though you're not actually applying for our server, You application is missing both Personality and Description along with not fitting into our lore at all. It'd like you to have a proper read through our lore and re-write your application if you're still interested in joining.
Great and enjoyable read! I'm glad to see you have adapted the character to better fit our lore. Overall, she is an interesting character from what has been written here and your RP examples are well-written. Welcome to the realm of Saphriel!
Considering that this is your first application for a RP server, you have done a fair job in writing your character out. If you have any questions be sure to ask. The community on the server is very friendly and willing to assist you. That being said, the staff will also be keeping a watch on your RP. They will be making sure you're responsive, and RPing properly.
The issue with your magic application is that you list Quris having an affinity for both dark and holy magic. This simply cannot happen within our lore, which I do not believe you have read. For now, I am going to have to deny the magic application as other portions seem to have been affected as well. Please redo this entire section after reading our lore on magic before playing the character if you would like him to possess magical potential.

-Do you have any prior roleplay-related experience, if so could you give an example? Yes. I role-played on a few minecraft servers before, including TES: Akavir and I think it was Realm of Kings? It was something like that, but it's been so long I forgot the name, sorry. I've done role-play on a few other games, such as Starbound, SWTOR, and I gave it a try on ESO but it wasn't much fun so I didn't bother.
-Define Power-gaming in your own words: In general, role-playing with the goal of winning in mind, when role-play is not about winning but creating a good story that is fun for you and everybody else. This includes playing in ways outside of your bounds (ex. a character somehow jumping up onto a two-story building, or even a one-story building). It also includes attempting to force actions on another character without consent or permission.
-Define Meta-gaming in your own words: This is using knowledge that your character does not know or isn't privy too, which is unfair since your character should not know what it is.
-Define Role-Playing in your own words: I believe it is playing a role or character that you are not in the real world, and contributing to the overall story of everything in the process of doing so. It's like writing without controlling the outcome of the book, but you do play a part in it and can definitely contribute towards the outcome.

-Character race: Human
-Character gender: Male
-Character age: 19
-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): Nothing currently.
-Character description (At least one to two paragraphs describing your character’s visual appearance.): A 6'1 human male with fair-colored skin fairly devoid of blemishes beyond a small scar stretched underneath his left ear, mostly concealed by the small hanging tufts of brown hair there. His hair is slightly messy and unkempt, but fairly short-cut and out of the way of his face, where his two brown eyes dominate the overall appearance of his face. Bones poke out slightly on his cheeks, as his face is rather lean and devoid of excess fat or chub. His body is rather lean and small, seemingly fit more to fast and agile movement, although it does infact have a bit of muscle on it. Fairly toned from practicing sword-play and roughhousing, he has kept a decent physical build. His legs are rather long, giving way to his fast agility and speed in running. His hands are of moderate size, with a small scar below the left knuckle on his right hand, gray and jagged.
-Character personality and traits (At least one to two paragraphs describing their personality traits and/or quirks.): A slightly independent man due to being one of the youngest of his family, he was forced to fend for himself in a lot of cases and developed a "everybody for themselves" mentality that still follows him into the beginning of his adult-hood. He doesn't lack kindness, though, especially towards the opposite sex. He's quite scrappy and enjoys to mess around with other people, which has often lead him to getting in trouble for having a rather large mouth, but he has managed to develop a good sense of wit. Not easily angered, he's developed a sense of patience and decides to push what would be anger towards plans for revenge later on, being a rather petty man despite the saying "an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind" for, if he was to be blinded, why not blind the person in response? In a way he seems naive and trusting, but in truth he eyes everybody with suspicion and while it may appear that he is blindly trusting, it's quite the opposite and it takes a good amount of time and work for him to fully trust someone.
(I apologize for this being one large paragraph, but I'm having trouble with deciding how to split it, so I left it as one.)
-Character biography (At least three paragraphs describing your character's history and experiences): (I apologize for being slightly vague in this, but despite reading lore I'm not entirely confident in writing intently about it).
Born in a decent-sized village far south-east of Falkvard, he found himself the fifth child and born alongside four older brothers and a younger sister, which ultimately would lead to him being a lot more independent due to being the runt of the litter. He developed a rivalry with his older brothers and even at an early child age he found himself fighting and rough-housing with them, generally being left out of the fun and games that they did, but he bonded well with his younger sister and developed a strong bond and desire to protect her.
Due to his family's poverty, he did not formally learn to read and found himself only picking up small parts of writing, which he would struggle with later on his life, and so he for this reason even later on he was not well-learned. His child-hood consisted of his rough-housing with his brothers and friends within' the village while working and doing chores at the inn that his parents kept, but he gained a disdain for work and often spent more time attempting to find ways to avoid work than actually working. His small physique led to him being the runt of his friend-groups as well, and he often scrapped with them, including a notable incident in which he was slashed underneath his ear and gained the scar still there today after an argument about who's sister was more beautiful.
Once he reached adolescence, he found himself starting to skip out from work, eagerly observing the village's guards training with swordplay, and he began to mimic it with make-believe stick sword-fighting, which he eagerly played with the other boys of the village. While this got him in trouble with his parents constantly, he found ways to easily slip away from home due to his small size, and he continued to practice and scrap, starting to get the hang of it and gain a decent understanding of how to fight. The fight-practice and strained home-relationship led him to gain a large sense of wonder-lust, desiring to find a way to get away from the isolation of the village and explore the greater world. He finally got what he sought after a heated verbal fight against his parents, in which they demanded he leave finally, and he set out in silence, his wonder-lust reaffirmed.
And so fate has decided...

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. : Unfortunately, he's rather dense and it does indeed take him a long moment to notice that it's been lifted, and by then the perpetrator is seemingly gone! He peers around and discovers a flash of a child fleeing, but simply notes it as a child being a child and running around, enjoying his childhood. Annoyed, he sets off and takes a look in nearby alley-ways for hopes of finding vagabonds that may have taken it, but rather unfortunately, he discovers nothing and relents himself to heading off to find guards of the market, if there are any, to report it.
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-colored 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. : He pauses, studying the creatures for a long moment before noting that it is indeed trapped and seemingly easy to put out of his misery, but he ponders on the ethics of killing an animal carrying children with it, but then again, wolves are rather troublesome to the people around here! Withdrawing his knife, he sets about killing the wounded creature with particular ease due to its injury, deciding that in this world it's survival of the fittest, and that the wolf had simply become too weak to continue on. And he leaves it at that, considering it an act of mercy, setting back on to his daily task of returning to the city, leaving behind the trapped dead wolf and its children. Perhaps they will be luckier.

While there doesn't seem to be much of a problem in your OOC, I do see problems in the application. There are no lore destroying problems, here however I would request that you fill your application to meet the standards. Without filling the minimal requirement it would seem rather lackluster of a character to know little of her. While she seems like a good idea for a character in the server, I can simply say that lengthening the application and adding details is a key factor. Thank you for your time, and we hope you submit another application!
ACCEPTED
Interesting and well written read! Enjoyed this application thoroughly and found much interest in the people of A'isha's cult. While they hold some rather intriguing values and beliefs, I think they are going to cause a good stir in RP when the topic of the Gods is brought up.

-Character name: Sasha Moon Soal
-Character race: Human
-Character gender: Female
-Character age: 18
-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):
She use to be potatoe picker then latter a ***** but has recently been unemployed.
-Character description (At least one to two paragraphs describing your character’s visual appearance.):
Sasha has black hair with a long red strand that goes down the side of her face. She has pale skin from mainly going out at night. The people that know her usually call her Zombie cause she rarely sleeps has almost always has bags under her eyes. Sasha usually uses black Kohl around her eyes to try and hide her bags. Shes leans and walks like a zombie dragging her feet around.
-Character personality and traits (At least one to two paragraphs describing their personality traits and/or quirks.):
Sasha drinks a lot and her kidneys have adapted and she now has a much harder time getting drunk than she use too.
Sasha is a socialite witch means she loves to hang around people and loves to meet new people. Sasha has a lack of caring of what people think of her mainly because she's always judged as a bad sort of human. The funny thing about Sasha is that although she is labelled as one of the most filthy abominations known to man she has an incredible immune systems allowing her to spend her time sitting in the rain without the risk of getting a cold.
Sasha dose not care for people that whine about there problems but helps people in need.(She helps people that don't ask for help)
-Character biography (At least three paragraphs describing your character's history and experiences):
Sasha was born into the MoonSoal family, once known for hunting vampires and keeping other abominations in check.
Sasha's Father, Fendrick MoonSoal still follows the way of his ancestors and trains every day for the day vampires return. Sasha on the other hand dose not care for wasting her time on something what in her mind is a wast of time. Although Sasha's Father made her learn how to aim and fire a crossbow along with how to dispose of a Vampire's and Werewolves. Sasha's father and her never got along mainly because Sasha hated her father for always being away when she was young. Since her father never cared for her why care for him?
Sasha's mother, Kalisa MoonSoal is one of the most kind and loving people you will ever meet helping any one and every one with a smile on her face through every day. Sasha has had to put up with baggers taking her bed while she's had to sleep els where cause of her mothers loving attitude towards strangers. Sasha usually went to some one els's house and was just company under covers for them. All of the MoonSaols believe in in higher beings and usually dragged Sasha around with them when she'd rather be hanging around her friends. Since Sasha's time is always used up you would find her hanging around the tavern at night getting people to buy drinks for her and her friends with the money she was given by her father to pay to the gods. Sasha made alot more freinds with boys than girls mainly because boys didn't ***** about her as much as girls did.
As Sasha has gotten older she has only gotten worse after leaving her family's potato farm at the age of 16 to sell her body for pleasure for both her and others. She was the busiest out of all the whores mainly because she was the youngest there. It was not until last week one of her friend brought up that she might get pregnant that she decided to quit her job. Sasha has been looking around for a job all week and had no luck so far....
-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.
Sasha would sprint after the child until she would catch up with its small legs. After catching the child she would turn it to face her before hooking the child across the face after the child would fall to the ground she would take her coin purse back. "Sorry kid, you wont learn not to steal without some one showing you will end up getting hurt". Sasha would then help the child up and give it some bread. "Get Lost before i tell the guards your a thief" Sasha would then turn away from the child before walking off.
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.
Sasha would look at the wolf before saying "I bet you've killed innocent people and your pups will too" Sasha would then lay down on her back in front of the wolf mother with her legs curled up before quickly reaching her legs out to spread the wolf mother's upper front legs apart and continue doing so til the Wolf would collapse from breaking its rib cage. Leaves would blow around in the afternoon breeze as Sasha looks at the pups hiding under their mother. Sasha would then stand up leaving the rest for nature to claim.
Extra notes (Optional, could include theme songs, pictures, etc.):
Theme song:
I guess I should just choose a different character cause she was really sheltered so she doesnt know a lot about the world, the point of this is to make her learn about the world as she goes....that and her original story was very graphic
Denied
The definitions in the OOC section need to be redone. They are all pointing in the correct direction, but are not at a place that I would like to see them at. The rest of the application will need much more significant changes. The character decription, personality and traits, and biography all need to be expanded upon greatly. The biography is lacking in any connections to the lore and it doesn't grant the reader the full sense of how he survived at such a young age while both parents were in jail. Would you be able to elaborate on how it is that a young child would be able to disguise himself as a guard? It also seems that the portion about being bit by a wolf is included because you may be looking for the character to become a Werewolf. This is something that is earned IC through Roleplay.
The two RP responses need a great deal of work as well. These are what really give us a sense of how you will be interacting on the server and the very simple response that you have given are not adequate. Finally, you made mention of one trait about Reiyker being "horrid at magic"... He would not possess any magical ability at all without a completed magic application.
Denied
In the personality and traits section you have listed that she has a distaste for guards. I would like to see why she feels that way as it is not made clear in any section. Additionally, I would like to know more about the character aside from their story. Adding a few more lines to the description and personality sections would be a good way to do this.
I feel that the entire biography needs to be reworked or redone. Six days without food, water, and new oxygen would have serious effects on adults. Sheree seems to be eight years at the time of her entrapment which would give her an even greater survival disadvantage. The maximum time an individual can go without water seems to be a week. In addition to the staggeringly low survival chance, Sheree would have to deal with more than the insanity you have decided to place on her. The malnutrition would likely cause some growth retardation among other various things. Starvation in children creates growth defects, simply put.
Moving past this issue is the fact that she was abandoned after her parents looked after her for ten years. This comes across as an issue. In the case that her state of madness was truly something her parents could not deal with then they likely would not have held out for ten whole years. If you decide to keep this in the biography, I would suggest expanding largely upon the interactions between her and her parents that would lead to them abandoning her.
Just like the biography, the RP examples could be expanded. I feel that the RP examples are near where they should be, but the format that they are in is not what I'd like to see. Perhaps if you thought of it as telling a story it would flow more easily for the reader. Instead of saying something like "Would look around to see that a child..." you could try "Sheree would look around..." This would make the whole section more comprehensible.
Accepted
There is just one thing strange I noticed in the application. You spelled his name with a "Z" on two occurrences, one of which is on the character name line. Other than that, everything is wonderful! We do not limit characters from swearing, just be mindful of it in OOC.
A very fun and interesting character, I do look forward to seeing him in action. Please note, that while your OoC definitions were acceptable, that avoiding damage forever can be considered powergaming. Also note that you cannot start with a magical trinket of any kind. Feel free to PM me your skype so we can add you to the chat.

-Character name: Ruka Evaliir
-Character race: Human
-Character gender: Female
-Character age: 23
-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):
None / traveling huntress
-Character description (At least one to two paragraphs describing your character’s visual appearance.):
Ruka has somewhat long, wavy, slightly messy tamarind hair falling below her shoulders. Her sharp, penetrating green eyes most likely feature an uninterested, or apathetic expression, especially if meeting strangers . Somewhat slander, she stands at a mere 5'3", often the subject of amicable teasing by friends. Her brown leather clothing, though simple and rather rough in appearance and design, offers her warmth, through a layer of wool beneath the leather. Ruka also wears leather, fingerless gauntlet gloves. A strap diagonally crosses her chest, to which a recurve bow and a quiver are usually attached, along with two leather pouches: the first, small, contains a leather flask, a wooden tinderbox and a whittling knife. The second is used solely to contain a shawl. Light, tight boots are ordinarily present on her feet.
-Character personality and traits (At least one to two paragraphs describing their personality traits and/or quirks.):
She is generally untrusting of strangers, and quick to make an opinion of them. Whilst wary, she is however very quick to take a liking to people, particularly those playful or innocent. It is uncommon for her to speak more than a few words with those she has not befriended, if at all, and as such is usually seen as a quiet individual.
Once a relationship has been established, she may begin amicable teasing, and will often display a smile. Very loyal to her friends, she will without hesitation cover for them, ignoring any harm that may befall her as a result. She prioritizes her friends before herself in all situations. If alone however, her survival will be her main focus, and so if she believes that fleeing or surrendering are the best options, she will not recklessly charge into her death.
Ruka enjoys physical contact such as hugs and will attempt to use it as a means to display fondness. She may at times act as a source of comfort to distressed friends, though words aren't her forté. On the opposite side of the scale, she may be seen as cold or cruel if her loved ones are exposed to danger, offering no mercy to the source of aforementioned danger, showing no qualms about putting down others. She is however rather obedient, and will put her will aside when asked to by someone she trusts or respects.
She cares not for wealth, prestige and fame, choosing to live a simple life off of the wild. She frowns upon disrespect towards nature or the hunt, though she will generally not act upon it. She loves children and will look out for them whether she knows them or not.
-Character biography (At least three paragraphs describing your character's history and experiences):
Born in a rather small, secluded hamlet, she was raised from childhood to succeed the family's duties as the hamlet's protectors. She saw her older sister as an almost heroic role model, and was easily amazed by anything she did or taught her. It is whilst trying to be like her, that she dutifully learned all she was taught, treating every bit as being of monumental importance if she were to become as wise and strong as her sister.
The inhabitants of this communist-like village were mostly composed of hunter-gatherers, and so all were expected to help sustain the foodstock. All children were taught about the regional flora and the basics of gathering, Ruka being no exception to this. Other skills were also generally taught, such as literacy, fletching or sewing, though not as great of importance as those required for their survival. The practice and use of a bow also begun at a young age, alongside tracking and hunting. Children were not however expected to actually hunt, or wield a hunting bow given their age.
Ruka's early years were spent principally focusing on learning most of what was offered, leaving very little to no time for play. She did not mind this fact however, and to this day sees it as 'normal'. As she aged, she began pouring most of her efforts into the art of hunting itself, as she would be required to begin providing for the hamlet in a few years. It was in her early teenager years that her sister took her away from this place, for reasons unknown to her. What she did know however, was that she would be traveling with her, and so gladly followed.
This voyage lasted but a few years, as they were eventually separated. It was not long after however that she met and befriended a slightly older man and continued her travels with him until her early 20s. He eventually settled down with a wife, and, not wanting her to be stuck in one place, told her to continue on without him. She agreed and resumed traveling, searching for her sibling as an added benefit.
-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.
She slowly looks down to where her purse should have been, her eyebrows slightly lifting as her mouth opens a little, a tad surprised. She lifts her head back up, staring off into the crowd for a moment before closing her mouth, a tad saddened, though she does not chase after the child, thinking that they must have needed it rather badly.
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.
A slight frown makes its way onto her facial expression, rapidly moving her gaze downwards to avoid eye contact with the wolf, lightly biting her lower lip, the wolf reminding her of her friend's own. She ponders for a few short seconds before deciding to approach it, her walking pace quite sluggish, trying to avoid agitating and stressing it further. Whenever the wolf would growl or show hostility, she would stop still in her tracks and wait, taking her time as she tries to makes sure it becomes used to her presence. Eventually within its reach, she continues with care and calmness as she reaches for the trap, which she promptly forces open. She would then follow the wolves with her eyes as they run off, shortly thereafter continuing on her way.**
**I dislike roleplaying two parties in a given scenario, so I wrote the part where different actions are plausible based on what responses could be given in an assuming 'would' fashion.
Extra notes (Optional, could include theme songs, pictures, etc.): Pictures can be found here. Note however that she was originally an elf, and so the pictures represent her with pointed ears. I chose to modify her to be human for this server, as she did not fit either of the elf races.

I'm new to RP. This would (possibly) be my first non-vanilla server.
-Define Power-gaming in your own words:
Being new to RP terminology, I did have to look these definitions up. From what I understand, power-gaming is basically ending interactions immediately by using moves/attacks/etc that can't be responded to. Essentially drains the fun out of play for others.
-Define Meta-gaming in your own words:
Meta-gaming is using information you, OOC, know but your character does not.
-Define Role-Playing in your own words:
Role-playing is the act of taking on a self-created persona and using it for the purposes of a game. It comes in several forms and intensities, for example, a light role-play (though I've no idea if there's an actual term for it) would be something you could break character in.

-Character name: Quris
-Character race: Half High Elf
-Character gender: Male
-Character age: 43
-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):
Quris is currently unemployed.
-Character description (At least one to two paragraphs describing your character’s visual appearance.):
Quris is lanky and thin, standing at 5'10. He possesses dark brown skin, wild, curly black hair-- presumably from his human mother's side-- and very light brown eyes. He typically does not do much with his hair, though he can occasionally be bothered to pull it into a ponytail or bun. Quris travels in a navy doublet over his black undershirt along with a long navy cloak. For movement purposes, he wears black canvas pants and sturdy, black leather boots. He carries a worn leather satchel in which he keeps his arm blades and brass knuckles. Underneath his heavy clothing, Quris is covered in several scars and burns.
-Character personality and traits (At least one to two paragraphs describing their personality traits and/or quirks.):
Quris is calm to a fault. Seemingly unendingly patient, Quris rarely loses his temper and comes across as a compassionate, mature individual. He is often seen as empathetic despite his quiet nature and is easily confided in. Behind his untouchable outwards demeanor, Quris is rather callous. He cares very little for others problems aside from the very few who have managed to grow close to him. He enjoys subtly pushing others to bad decisions and watching chaotic situations from afar. He has very little patience for most people, finding both their problems and them to be a colossal waste of his time and energy.
Quris is very self-conscious and wary in the presence of most people though it never shows on the surface. He holds his public appearance and reputation to high standards; however, because of his penchant for exacerbating other's issues, he often moves to find a "fresh start" when his reputation is more tarnished than he can fix. Even though he cares for how he is seen; Quris is a hermit, mostly avoiding both people and the outdoors whenever possible. Hey enjoys small spaces in which he feels safe in the ability to see the entirety of the world immediately around him. Despite his nihilistic attitude and general dismissal to most intelligent life, Quris is impossibly kind to animals and children, showing what is, perhaps, the truest version of himself only in their company.
-Character biography (At least three paragraphs describing your character's history and experiences):
Quris was born to a human mother and a high elf father. His father already held some shame from allowing himself to be “bewitched” by a human; however, when Quris was born and took after his mother more in appearance, that shame quadrupled and his father became violent.
Quris’s childhood was an endless spiral of abuse that only ever broke when it others seemed suspicious. His mother grew quiet and reserved, taking a large interest in reading to distance herself from the hell around her. Because of her unwillingness to face reality, Quris was left to fend for himself where his father was concerned. Quris couldn’t blame his mother for her neglect seeing as he to turned to knowledge to escape his homelife whenever he had the chance. As he grew older, Quris grew more violent, eventually getting to a point at which he pledged to his father that he would kill him slowly, repaying him with two years for every one he’d abused Quris.
The threat did lessen the abuse for a short period of time, though it picked back up when Quris was twenty, his father telling him that, “if he wasn’t happy with his household, he could leave.” However, because his father was ostracized from other high elves for fraternizing with a human and his mother had no kin to speak of, Quris decided to endure until he reached majority.
During the last ten years of his residence with his parents, his father’s abuse reached peak violence. Quris was pummeled, burned, and beaten regularly, often before he had the strength to recover from previous scuffles. In this time, Quris began to display a magical affinity, something his parents had both written off as unlikely in his childhood. Quris’s survival in that last decade was made possible only by the appearance of his magic. Forced to train his ability by healing himself daily, Quris slowly became able to take care of a few of the larger wounds inflicted on him.
When he reached thirty years of age, Quris smuggled a hefty sum of money from his father’s reserve, kissed his sleeping mother goodbye, and stole away in the dead of night.
He spent his time traveling and gaining knowledge, wanting nothing more than to have a small shop, a decent house, and a slow-paced, comfortable life. He found people to be far too enamored with inane problems and, despite his best intentions, couldn’t help but see them as petty entertainment and make a mockery of them in the comfort of his own mind. Continuing to hone his magic and knowledge, Quris lived taking up odd jobs to pay for food and housing before moving on. Over the course of the year, he worked to snuff out the violent urges that plagued him until he finally accepted that they were a part of his person and fighting himself wasn’t something he was prepared to do. Now, at forty-three, he has learned to indulge his urges just enough to sate them so that they do not interfere with his studies.
-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.
Quris breathes out slowly, letting his anger and will to hurt go when he notices the thief was but a child. Speeding his pace to a gentle jog, he follows the child for a while until they are aways from the crowded marketplace. The child turns to check behind him, giving Quris the opportunity to grab the boy and retrieve his wallet. The child flinches away from Quris, expecting to be hit, but Quris merely frees seven coins from the depths of his purse and offers them to the boy, saying, “Should you ever have need, I will help you. Be well.” And goes on his way.
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.
With a pained sigh of almost perfect empathy, Quris slowly and carefully frees the mother wolf from her binds. He is bitten and scratched multiple times during this but carries on determinedly. Taking the time to heal as much of the wound as he can, Quris finally sits back when his work is done. He reaches into his bag for a bit of dried meat and offers it to the wolf, who snaps it from his hands. Carefully, he wraps her pups into his cloak and offers her another piece of jerky, whispering comfort as he leads her away from the farms nearby where she and her pups are likely to be killed.
Extra notes (Optional, could include theme songs, pictures, etc.): N/A
Only fill out below if you want your character to have magic capabilities. If you don't fill this out, then your character will be incapable of performing any form of magic. Note that it will take significant in character practice and experience to become any form of proficient in magic.
(We only accept high quality magic applications!)
_______________________________________________________________________
-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!")
When Quris’s father became exceedingly violent, Quris was often left on the brink of death with wounds that would normally grow infected. For the sole purpose of saving his own life, Quris began to show a minute ability to heal himself. This ability originally didn’t help him much and had to be trained over the course of a decade. The affinity for magic benefits Quris by allowing him to have reached majority and by blinding him to his higher affinity to harmful magic for a time, allowing him to reach majority without having committed patricide. Had Quris’s magic developed originally for combat, his father would be dead.
After leaving his father’s house, Quris focused less on healing magic because he seemed to hit a plateau quite quickly. His affinity was more in combative magic, specifically dark magic. Quris avoided dark magic at first, trying his hardest to tamp down on his propensity for violence and instead focused on elemental magic, studying it at length. After understanding and accepting his limits, Quris finally allowed himself to study his best ability in full.
Quris typically only uses his magic for the purpose of training or to help animals and children. He keeps his holy magic well trained if only for an innate fear of ever being put into the kind of helpless situation he was in as a child. Because his continuation into magic-related ventures was a product of his thirst for knowledge, Quris pushes himself to learn more of magic and hone every aspect of the magic he has. He much more prefers to use arm blades paired with brass knuckles in combat.
-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):
Magical limitations are necessary to limit the opportunities available to power game. Limitations should include things that restrict magic from making any one person overpowered or unbeatable. For example, one hit kills that don’t leave the caster completely vulnerable for a significant amount of time are off-limits. This also means things like summoning must have boundaries since summoned monsters are often more powerful than the summoner. Magic that allows people to avoid or sidestep situations in a seemingly unfair way (i.e. human alteration without limitations) drains the fun from the experience and is extremely difficult to judge. Magical limitations are needed to make the RP experience seem less like a free-for-all and more structured, fair, and realistic.
-Please give a description of the magic system in your own words:
The magic system consists of the elementals, holy, and dark magic. Every being has some affinity for magic, whether that be zero or higher. This affinity controls just how strong a character’s magic can be. Because magical affinity is a rarity to begin with, extremely strong casters are almost unheard of and not a role most characters should try to assume. Magic is part of a balance, weighed with physicality, and neither should or could ever fully eclipse the other for any person.
-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:
Quris spends a week simply noting the trinket of healing’s properties, testing and turning in every way and at every angle until he knows the trinket more than he knows his own mind. He fills the next few days hypothesizing how exactly to increase it’s ability to give constant, light healing. After he’s made his preparations, he begins to work on the trinket slowly and meticulously. When it is finished, he considers making more of them to distribute to the street rats he so often sees sporting light scrapes and scratches.
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.
I believe Quris would begin with Holy magic then.

It seems that this new application has cleaned up most of the issues that the last one held. I will allow this iteration to pass though I will remark that the IC information of this character is lacking somewhat. Due to some attention that may arise from this, we will be watching closely to your RP. Making sure you're responsive, and RPing properly. Should players make a reasonable complaint or staff take notice to this, we will remove you if the staff feel you may cause problems. Other than that, enjoy the server, and make sure you follow rules!

Considering that this is your first application for a RP server, you have done a fair job in writing your character out. If you have any questions be sure to ask. The community on the server is very friendly and willing to assist you. That being said, the staff will also be keeping a watch on your RP. They will be making sure you're responsive, and RPing properly.
The issue with your magic application is that you list Quris having an affinity for both dark and holy magic. This simply cannot happen within our lore, which I do not believe you have read. For now, I am going to have to deny the magic application as other portions seem to have been affected as well. Please redo this entire section after reading our lore on magic before playing the character if you would like him to possess magical potential.

-Do you have any prior roleplay-related experience, if so could you give an example? Yes. I role-played on a few minecraft servers before, including TES: Akavir and I think it was Realm of Kings? It was something like that, but it's been so long I forgot the name, sorry. I've done role-play on a few other games, such as Starbound, SWTOR, and I gave it a try on ESO but it wasn't much fun so I didn't bother.
-Define Power-gaming in your own words: In general, role-playing with the goal of winning in mind, when role-play is not about winning but creating a good story that is fun for you and everybody else. This includes playing in ways outside of your bounds (ex. a character somehow jumping up onto a two-story building, or even a one-story building). It also includes attempting to force actions on another character without consent or permission.
-Define Meta-gaming in your own words: This is using knowledge that your character does not know or isn't privy too, which is unfair since your character should not know what it is.
-Define Role-Playing in your own words: I believe it is playing a role or character that you are not in the real world, and contributing to the overall story of everything in the process of doing so. It's like writing without controlling the outcome of the book, but you do play a part in it and can definitely contribute towards the outcome.

-Character race: Human
-Character gender: Male

-Character description (At least one to two paragraphs describing your character’s visual appearance.): A 6'1 human male with fair-colored skin fairly devoid of blemishes beyond a small scar stretched underneath his left ear, mostly concealed by the small hanging tufts of brown hair there. His hair is slightly messy and unkempt, but fairly short-cut and out of the way of his face, where his two brown eyes dominate the overall appearance of his face. Bones poke out slightly on his cheeks, as his face is rather lean and devoid of excess fat or chub. His body is rather lean and small, seemingly fit more to fast and agile movement, although it does infact have a bit of muscle on it. Fairly toned from practicing sword-play and roughhousing, he has kept a decent physical build. His legs are rather long, giving way to his fast agility and speed in running. His hands are of moderate size, with a small scar below the left knuckle on his right hand, gray and jagged.
-Character personality and traits (At least one to two paragraphs describing their personality traits and/or quirks.): A slightly independent man due to being one of the youngest of his family, he was forced to fend for himself in a lot of cases and developed a "everybody for themselves" mentality that still follows him into the beginning of his adult-hood. He doesn't lack kindness, though, especially towards the opposite sex. He's quite scrappy and enjoys to mess around with other people, which has often lead him to getting in trouble for having a rather large mouth, but he has managed to develop a good sense of wit. Not easily angered, he's developed a sense of patience and decides to push what would be anger towards plans for revenge later on, being a rather petty man despite the saying "an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind" for, if he was to be blinded, why not blind the person in response? In a way he seems naive and trusting, but in truth he eyes everybody with suspicion and while it may appear that he is blindly trusting, it's quite the opposite and it takes a good amount of time and work for him to fully trust someone.
(I apologize for this being one large paragraph, but I'm having trouble with deciding how to split it, so I left it as one.)
-Character biography (At least three paragraphs describing your character's history and experiences): (I apologize for being slightly vague in this, but despite reading lore I'm not entirely confident in writing intently about it).
Born in a decent-sized village far south-east of Falkvard, he found himself the fifth child and born alongside four older brothers and a younger sister, which ultimately would lead to him being a lot more independent due to being the runt of the litter. He developed a rivalry with his older brothers and even at an early child age he found himself fighting and rough-housing with them, generally being left out of the fun and games that they did, but he bonded well with his younger sister and developed a strong bond and desire to protect her.
Due to his family's poverty, he did not formally learn to read and found himself only picking up small parts of writing, which he would struggle with later on his life, and so he for this reason even later on he was not well-learned. His child-hood consisted of his rough-housing with his brothers and friends within' the village while working and doing chores at the inn that his parents kept, but he gained a disdain for work and often spent more time attempting to find ways to avoid work than actually working. His small physique led to him being the runt of his friend-groups as well, and he often scrapped with them, including a notable incident in which he was slashed underneath his ear and gained the scar still there today after an argument about who's sister was more beautiful.
Once he reached adolescence, he found himself starting to skip out from work, eagerly observing the village's guards training with swordplay, and he began to mimic it with make-believe stick sword-fighting, which he eagerly played with the other boys of the village. While this got him in trouble with his parents constantly, he found ways to easily slip away from home due to his small size, and he continued to practice and scrap, starting to get the hang of it and gain a decent understanding of how to fight. The fight-practice and strained home-relationship led him to gain a large sense of wonder-lust, desiring to find a way to get away from the isolation of the village and explore the greater world. He finally got what he sought after a heated verbal fight against his parents, in which they demanded he leave finally, and he set out in silence, his wonder-lust reaffirmed.
And so fate has decided...
-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. : Unfortunately, he's rather dense and it does indeed take him a long moment to notice that it's been lifted, and by then the perpetrator is seemingly gone! He peers around and discovers a flash of a child fleeing, but simply notes it as a child being a child and running around, enjoying his childhood. Annoyed, he sets off and takes a look in nearby alley-ways for hopes of finding vagabonds that may have taken it, but rather unfortunately, he discovers nothing and relents himself to heading off to find guards of the market, if there are any, to report it.
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-colored 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. : He pauses, studying the creatures for a long moment before noting that it is indeed trapped and seemingly easy to put out of his misery, but he ponders on the ethics of killing an animal carrying children with it, but then again, wolves are rather troublesome to the people around here! Withdrawing his knife, he sets about killing the wounded creature with particular ease due to its injury, deciding that in this world it's survival of the fittest, and that the wolf had simply become too weak to continue on. And he leaves it at that, considering it an act of mercy, setting back on to his daily task of returning to the city, leaving behind the trapped dead wolf and its children. Perhaps they will be luckier.
Extra notes (Optional, could include theme songs, pictures, etc.): Nothing that I know of! Thank you for reading.
