Yeah, that's a great idea, Welk. Like what we did early on in TWO.
That's the idea! Of course it'd be cheaper on the players to have one of them gather those materials, but there will be avenues to obtain rarer materials, for the right price.

Character Information
Name: Kalad Boar-Hammer
Age: 35
Race: Rinion Half-Man
Physical description: Taller than most Halfmen, you could nearly mistake him for a shorter Human. It's the stocky build and thick beard that give him away. Influenced by human culture, he keeps his facial hair trimmed to a mustache as opposed to the regulation halfman beard. Muscular and weathered from his life as a laborer, he is a solid block of man, probably heavier than the boats he's sailed on. Bright green eyes and Bushy brown hair, he seems to have a cheery smile on his face and an ale in his hand whenever he can.
Biography (Minimum 225 words. Most very fleshed-out characters have around 300, but feel free to use even more than that if you wish. Try and avoid clichés such as loved one being killed by bandits or the like):
Born and Raised in Rinion, never got to see the land of his people, and did not experience the traditions, hardships, or triumphs, shared in the caves and tunnels of his heritage. His parents were both born in Drunn, but left for the sake of Commerce, enchanted by big city life. His father was a sailor, so he lived with his mother mostly. His mother dealt with bringing Halfmen goods into the city, legally or otherwise. His mother also served as a Mediator for large importing and exporting between Rinion and the Halfmen homeland. This is where she met the mother of Treven Highwall, and created a bond between the Highwalls and the Boar-Hammers.
At first Kalad was introduced to the Naval Culture of Rinion, and had a knack and a patience for Fishing that made him a natural. He was in fact planning on pursuing a career as a merchant, to work as partners with his family and his Childhood friend Treven, before he was drawn towards the traditions of the Halfmen. When Treven brought back artifacts of Drunn's history, Kalad felt a calling like no other. Dropping all other pretenses, he quickly became one with the stone, working in a mine not out of necessity, but out of love for the culture and tradition behind it. Some Halfmen may look down on him from not being native to the homeland, but that simply drives Kalad to work harder to achieve the stuff of legends back home.
Treven and Kalad grew up together, which naturally means they got into trouble together. Especially when dealing with ancient artifacts, the two had to skirt around the rules, and had some experience in smuggling. Though not a delinquent, Kalad has no issue with bending a couple of rules to make life easier, as most people tend to learn to do in Rinion, but in most cases, is a stand up citizen.
The lasting friendship between Treven and Kalad meant that when Treven decided to pack up and head that way, he brought Kalad along with him, providing a mutually beneficial partnership, where Treven had a close friend within the Laboring community, and Kalad was introduced to the network of connections Treven held at his fingertips. His parents miss him dearly, as he was their only child, but they have another family within the Highwalls. Treven headed out to Enris before Kalad to set up and ground himself, as Kalad has to make some goodbyes, social calls, and preparations for the next chapter of his life.
Other than some scoffing when other halfmen learned of his place of birth, Kalad has dealt with very few hardships, and almost no tragedies that he'd speak of. His innocence gives him a positive, optimistic view on the world, doing his best to root out cynicism.
What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation): Carving out a name for himself as a Laborer, as well as bring more pride to laborers as a whole. Damn sword swingers get all the glory, not realizing it comes out of the backs of the laborers. Wealth comes with Legends. Both are important.
Strengths (Both physical and personality):Has a firm understanding of Economy, Naval Culture, and Hitting Rocks. Calm and Stoic, he himself could be an analogy for Stone. Physically strong and determined, and very difficult to put him in a sour mood. Easily Motivated.
Weaknesses (Balance out yours character's strengths with suitable weaknesses. Not knowing how to do something that is outside of your class is not a weakness. I.E. Not knowing how to use a bow as a miner.): His determination and Stoicism can quickly become stubbornness, and many could accuse Kalad of having a one track mind. His calmness can be mistaken for a lack of passion, and he isn't the best with heights. He prefers to keep his feet firmly planted on solid ground.
What is your character's personality? (Optional; use this field to note character traits that you feel don't fit into either strengths or weaknesses if you wish): A generally friendly man, he makes friends, and has a decent sense of humor and wit. Not the most interested in the esoteric nature of things, he might be quickly bored when dealing with philosophy or religion. He is not easily offended, and jovially laughs off most trivial matters. Has trouble sitting around for a very long time, and can get a little antsy if forced to be lazy. Has no issue with other races, as growing up in Rinion gave him a taste of most cultures.
Bonus Language (Caro is free): Runic, in a (some would say fruitless) attempt to get back to his roots as a Halfman.
Character Traits (up to 7 points worth):
Advanced Miner- 5 Points
Fisherman- 2 Points
Stonevision-Racial Bonus

Biography (Minimum 225 words. Most very fleshed-out characters have around 300, but feel free to use even more
than that if you wish. Try and avoid clichés such as loved one being killed by bandits or the like):
Drake grew up in a forest, not remembering his parents, as he grew up in a bandit keep, It is assumed that the bandits killed his parents, but as they thought he was good for nothing, they would use him as a slave,
and grew up being punished to the point to having no emotions, as any sign of them would result in injury, He would tend to the the stockades, organize supplies, over the years he created better relationships with the other slaves,
normally living life the best they could and as such, he would only show emotion to them and as such grew closer to them, but due to the group of slaves always getting smaller, the relationships he had would die to, he didn't want to have friends if they would just die, and as such he would section himself off from everyone else, his relationships died just as quickly as his friends did when he became twenty, he was rather good at being quiet, his footsteps, his breathing, became very silent, and as such helped him escape when a group of mercenaries attacked the bandit keep, they were hired by the nearest lord to do so, and Drake ran off, taking little supplies,
3 years he lived in the wild, hunting the nearby small animals,and mostly wandering, in which he decided to finally re-enter society.
What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation): to use the skills he manifested in his past to make a name for himself, be it good or bad
Strengths (Both physical and personality):
He appears and acts rather menacing and cold, leading to him being intimidating
Silent, and as such, people take him seriously when he rarely speaks
Can detect the small things and has very good eyesight.
Weaknesses (Balance out yours character's strengths with suitable weaknesses. Not knowing how to do something that is outside of your class is not a weakness. I.E. Not knowing how to use a bow as a miner.):
He doesn't have many friends, people often do not talk to him,
What is your character's personality? (Optional; use this field to note character traits that you feel don't fit into either strengths or weaknesses if you wish): When he gets rather close to someone, he will start opening up, and will start acting less cold to them and will open up to them

Have you read and agreed to both the rules and the lore of the server?: Yes.
What is the definition of “Powergaming”?:
Powergaming takes multiple forms, but they can be generalized as the following:
Directly applying an action to another’s character (usually only harmful actions are seen as powergaming. Do note that many exceptions exist to this “rule”. For example, there are roleplayers I trust and know well enough that they can completely bypass this and do anything to my characters, which I would not mind).
Using skills, abilities or feats unavailable or otherwise impossible for the character within the world’s setting.
Any action that benefits a character unnaturally.
What is the definition of “Metagaming”?:
Metagaming on the other hand is more straightforward; it is simply granting a character information they should not have knowledge of, or deciding their actions based on such information.
What is the definition of “Roleplay”?:
Interpreting an identity through a filter of, but not limited to, values, emotions and thought processes, which together constitute a “character” within a predefined world.
Who can use flymod, X-ray and other such clientsided mods?: Anybody, would they wish punishment to eventually befall them.
When are you allowed to cause the death of another character?: Any point in time where they have granted explicit permission for the act.
When are you allowed to speak out of character?:
Though not explicitly written, it is shortly hinted that it should be in the case of a “must”, therefore only if absolutely necessary.
Do you have any previous RP experience, Minecraft or elsewhere? (Optional):
Many years of roleplaying / hosting roleplay games on Warcraft III. Multiple years of Minecraft roleplay. Quite a bit of Skype roleplay here and there, as well as a tiny bit of forums roleplay. Overall, somewhere between 11-14 years of experience.
Character Information
Name: Ruka Evaliir
Age: 57
Race: Elf
Physical description:
Ruka has somewhat long, wavy brownish hair falling below her shoulders, which her long ears protrude. Sharp, penetrating green eyes most likely featuring an uninterested expression make her an easily identifiable Elf. She stands at a mere 5'3", below the common heights for her race, often the subject of amicable teasing. Her brown leather clothing, though simple and rather rough in appearance and design, offers her warm and protection against grazes and the likes one is likely to encounter whilst living in the wilds. Her shirt does not features arms, likely to get in the way of shooting the bow. The rest of the body is however fully covered, leaving no skin to display. Ruka also wears gloves, fingerless, covering up to her knuckles. A strap diagonally crosses her chest, to which a handmade 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, slightly larger, is used solely to contain a simple brown cloak. Light, tight boots are ordinarily present on her feet.
She usually does not wear her cloak, but may do so in some situations, such as sleeping under the rain.
Screen capture of your skin (I recommend uploading to imgur and posting link here):
Biography: Rewritten main basic biography for this server: Google Doc
What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation): Explore the world.
Strengths (Both physical and personality):
Ruka is physically fit. Her legs in particular are conditioned to running.
Some knowledge of plants*: read the bio. Can be retconned.
Cares a lot for those she sees as friends.
Staring.
Weaknesses:
Socially inadept:
What would be common sense to most can very well not be for her
Can be seen as rude or impolite by many
Can care too much for her friends, easily leading to her downfall.
Can be naive; prone to manipulation.
What is your character's personality?:
Quiet, she enjoys staring at others, whether they like it or not. Generally apathetic and closed off to strangers, getting to know her may prove difficult for some. Acts of kindness speak to her better than words can, and she will be quick to trust an seemingly affectionate individuals, perhaps a bit naive. Once she gains an opinion of someone, Ruka will largely keep to it: a bad impression will have a lasting effect, with much effort required to improve it. On the other hand, she will readily protect those close to her, even if sacrifices to herself have to be made.
Ruka does not care much for words. If one were to insult her, she would not react to it or try to defend herself. On the other hand, she will actively seek to protect herself from harm were actual hostility be shown to her, whether that be through fighting or running, whichever she deems more appropriate.
Ruka is meant to be a unique individual, but not one of utmost importance. Were she part of a book, she would be a side character, or perhaps a companion.
As such, she scores a -2 on the Mary Sue test, 6 without de-suifiers. She’s been my main character for nearly as long as I’ve started roleplay (give or take a few days or weeks). I’ve not much else to show her as a non-overpowered character, so these words of mine will hopefully suffice.

Ohey! Yeah, I did play that character! Been a while since I even thought of that server, though. How many years ago was it?
It’s been 3 years, riengo. Does time fly really! I’m going to recycle one half of my unused character for its sequel Year 2075 as I wasn’t whitelisted at all despite being accepted before it died. I was afraid the Battle for Enris was a very major event so I rushed to whip up an app but turns out it was the launch! I've got some time.

Character Information
Name: Edric
Age: 20
Race: Human
Physical description: Edric has black hair, a tan skin and is very firm from lots of training. He is average height and he is also young.
Screen capture of your skin (I recommend uploading to imgur and posting link here): http://imgur.com/a/Bb1tX#0 My skin of an explorer!
Biography (Minimum 225 words. Most very fleshed-out characters have around 300, but feel free to use even more than that if you wish. Try and avoid clichés such as loved one being killed by bandits or the like):
Edric was born in Alann. His father was a warrior in Alann and his mother was a teacher from unknown lands.
He loved his old life. He would study, train and also play with his family and siblings for hours. He read books on the entire land and his nation. He knew all kinds of things. He went to best school (even though school didn't matter in Alann). Edric spend hours training and was really strong. His father called him a sure warrior. He seemed so normal, and he was. There was just one thing that nether his mother or father really liked, and it was his adventurous spirit. This was something rare at these times since people thought adventurers are useless and just like to get in trouble.
Edric would secretly do mini adventures by himself and sometimes with his brothers and sisters. His family was very poor and the main source of their income was from their father's job as a warrior. As Edric grew up over the years, he grew more adventurous and when he reached 15, he set off and left Alann for 2 weeks. There Edric grew more strong and learned more things while in Drunn and the Horizon. He learned how to fish and hunt and to survive on his own, something that would be useful in the future. Edric reached 18 and was ready to go to the best university. He received 2 years of all kinds of subjects, specially Alchemy. At the time Edric reached 20 believed his life was good but then something unexpected happened.
A mysterious event brought more war to Alann and is was during this time Edric set off to another journey (Edric didnt know anything about this event until after he set off). This one was an awful journey. He saw entire cities burned to the ground and life of people wrecked an destroyed. He ventured down to St. Jessica and saw the same thing. The screams and fire, the land. All destroyed. He had a lot of pride for his land and did what every he could to help out. He saw children and babies left alone and skeletons everywhere. He reflected on his life and felt sorry for these children, never growing up in happiness, but in a destroyed family and land.
He knew life was hard, like war and poverty that was in his family, but he never knew life was this hard. Edric gave up on being an explorer. He set up shelters to help the families and people. While on this month long journey he received news Alann was destroyed. He rushed back just to see the same pictures again. But this time his family and nation was in it. It was a terrible site. At that point Edric claims, his goal was to help and save the entire land. He stayed in Alann for 2 weeks to learn news that 2 out of the 3 brothers (he makes 4) were gone. His one sister was still safe.Soon news reached that Enris was untouched. Edric mind then thought of untouched nature....safe and still peaceful.
Edric's last spark of adventure lit. Edric had an mission to save the and restore land, and restore it even better than before. He wanted to start a new future and to avenge his brothers. Edric doesn't care about himself anymore, he cares about the land and people. Edric looking for a place to start, chooses Enris. He gets on his horse, packs his bags, and faces toward Enris, ready to go, with his adventurous spirit on.
Edric is going undercoved as an victim of the recent events. He will an normal man that fleed to Enris. He doesn't want people to know his goal and wants to go undercovered.
What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation): Edric's goal is too save the entire land, no matter what it takes. He doesn't want to see his land and nation like this, it pains him.
Strengths (Both physical and personality): Edric is very smart, wise and strong. He is also tough and has an strong mental mind, which comes from his adventuring.
Weaknesses (Balance out yours character's strengths with suitable weaknesses. Not knowing how to do something that is outside of your class is not a weakness. I.E. Not knowing how to use a bow as a miner.): Edric loves adventures, and can be tricked very easily with one. He like to think way to far, and think of the impossible, which sometimes make him get into trouble. He is foolish when it comes to some things.
What is your character's personality? (Optional; use this field to note character traits that you feel don't fit into either strengths or weaknesses if you wish): He can adapt to stuff easily, which is good sometimes. He is sort of friendly but sometimes he isn't. His mouth can get him in trouble.

Your traits MUST COINCIDE with your character in description and biography. Whitelisters can and will defer apps if your traits do not match your character. New characters begin with 7 trait points, but a final eighth point can be earned in character through training. Some traits such as alchemy and arcane magic can only be obtained in game. You can learn new traits through in-character training at the expense of replacing one of your previously known traits. Some traits cost more than one point, so please ask if you have any questions.
I have finshed! If you have any advice for me (even if i am accepted) feel free to tell me!
It’s been 3 years, riengo. Does time fly really! I’m going to recycle one half of my unused character for its sequel Year 2075 as I wasn’t whitelisted at all despite being accepted before it died. I was afraid the Battle for Enris was a very major event so I rushed to whip up an app but turns out it was the launch! I've got some time.
Wow. Three years? Been ages.
And yeah, you've got plenty of time 'till launch. Make sure to make the app the best you can, there's no rush.
I'm gonna defer you again for just the one thing; your strengths and weaknesses aren't really with your character himself, they're how people react to him. Generally try to avoid that, as there's no telling if that's how people will react in RP. Make your character have real strengths and real flaws that can be viewed objectively, not "Seems intimidating," and "Other people don't talk to him." Fix that up a bit and you should be good.
Got some sort of secret past you haven't told us about?
That's the idea! Of course it'd be cheaper on the players to have one of them gather those materials, but there will be avenues to obtain rarer materials, for the right price.

Character Information
Name: Kalad Boar-Hammer
Age: 35
Race: Rinion Half-Man
Physical description: Taller than most Halfmen, you could nearly mistake him for a shorter Human. It's the stocky build and thick beard that give him away. Influenced by human culture, he keeps his facial hair trimmed to a mustache as opposed to the regulation halfman beard. Muscular and weathered from his life as a laborer, he is a solid block of man, probably heavier than the boats he's sailed on. Bright green eyes and Bushy brown hair, he seems to have a cheery smile on his face and an ale in his hand whenever he can.

Biography (Minimum 225 words. Most very fleshed-out characters have around 300, but feel free to use even more than that if you wish. Try and avoid clichés such as loved one being killed by bandits or the like):
Born and Raised in Rinion, never got to see the land of his people, and did not experience the traditions, hardships, or triumphs, shared in the caves and tunnels of his heritage. His parents were both born in Drunn, but left for the sake of Commerce, enchanted by big city life. His father was a sailor, so he lived with his mother mostly. His mother dealt with bringing Halfmen goods into the city, legally or otherwise. His mother also served as a Mediator for large importing and exporting between Rinion and the Halfmen homeland. This is where she met the mother of Treven Highwall, and created a bond between the Highwalls and the Boar-Hammers.
At first Kalad was introduced to the Naval Culture of Rinion, and had a knack and a patience for Fishing that made him a natural. He was in fact planning on pursuing a career as a merchant, to work as partners with his family and his Childhood friend Treven, before he was drawn towards the traditions of the Halfmen. When Treven brought back artifacts of Drunn's history, Kalad felt a calling like no other. Dropping all other pretenses, he quickly became one with the stone, working in a mine not out of necessity, but out of love for the culture and tradition behind it. Some Halfmen may look down on him from not being native to the homeland, but that simply drives Kalad to work harder to achieve the stuff of legends back home.
Treven and Kalad grew up together, which naturally means they got into trouble together. Especially when dealing with ancient artifacts, the two had to skirt around the rules, and had some experience in smuggling. Though not a delinquent, Kalad has no issue with bending a couple of rules to make life easier, as most people tend to learn to do in Rinion, but in most cases, is a stand up citizen.
The lasting friendship between Treven and Kalad meant that when Treven decided to pack up and head that way, he brought Kalad along with him, providing a mutually beneficial partnership, where Treven had a close friend within the Laboring community, and Kalad was introduced to the network of connections Treven held at his fingertips. His parents miss him dearly, as he was their only child, but they have another family within the Highwalls. Treven headed out to Enris before Kalad to set up and ground himself, as Kalad has to make some goodbyes, social calls, and preparations for the next chapter of his life.
Other than some scoffing when other halfmen learned of his place of birth, Kalad has dealt with very few hardships, and almost no tragedies that he'd speak of. His innocence gives him a positive, optimistic view on the world, doing his best to root out cynicism.
What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation): Carving out a name for himself as a Laborer, as well as bring more pride to laborers as a whole. Damn sword swingers get all the glory, not realizing it comes out of the backs of the laborers. Wealth comes with Legends. Both are important.
Strengths (Both physical and personality):Has a firm understanding of Economy, Naval Culture, and Hitting Rocks. Calm and Stoic, he himself could be an analogy for Stone. Physically strong and determined, and very difficult to put him in a sour mood. Easily Motivated.
Weaknesses (Balance out yours character's strengths with suitable weaknesses. Not knowing how to do something that is outside of your class is not a weakness. I.E. Not knowing how to use a bow as a miner.): His determination and Stoicism can quickly become stubbornness, and many could accuse Kalad of having a one track mind. His calmness can be mistaken for a lack of passion, and he isn't the best with heights. He prefers to keep his feet firmly planted on solid ground.
What is your character's personality? (Optional; use this field to note character traits that you feel don't fit into either strengths or weaknesses if you wish): A generally friendly man, he makes friends, and has a decent sense of humor and wit. Not the most interested in the esoteric nature of things, he might be quickly bored when dealing with philosophy or religion. He is not easily offended, and jovially laughs off most trivial matters. Has trouble sitting around for a very long time, and can get a little antsy if forced to be lazy. Has no issue with other races, as growing up in Rinion gave him a taste of most cultures.
Bonus Language (Caro is free): Runic, in a (some would say fruitless) attempt to get back to his roots as a Halfman.
Character Traits (up to 7 points worth):
Advanced Miner- 5 Points
Fisherman- 2 Points

normally living life the best they could and as such, he would only show emotion to them and as such grew closer to them, but due to the group of slaves always getting smaller, the relationships he had would die to, he didn't want to have friends if they would just die, and as such he would section himself off from everyone else, his relationships died just as quickly as his friends did when he became twenty, he was rather good at being quiet, his footsteps, his breathing, became very silent, and as such helped him escape when a group of mercenaries attacked the bandit keep, they were hired by the nearest lord to do so, and Drake ran off, taking little supplies,

What is the definition of “Powergaming”?:
Powergaming takes multiple forms, but they can be generalized as the following:
What is the definition of “Metagaming”?:
Metagaming on the other hand is more straightforward; it is simply granting a character information they should not have knowledge of, or deciding their actions based on such information.
What is the definition of “Roleplay”?:
Interpreting an identity through a filter of, but not limited to, values, emotions and thought processes, which together constitute a “character” within a predefined world.
Who can use flymod, X-ray and other such clientsided mods?: Anybody, would they wish punishment to eventually befall them.
When are you allowed to cause the death of another character?: Any point in time where they have granted explicit permission for the act.
When are you allowed to speak out of character?:
Though not explicitly written, it is shortly hinted that it should be in the case of a “must”, therefore only if absolutely necessary.
Do you have any previous RP experience, Minecraft or elsewhere? (Optional):
Many years of roleplaying / hosting roleplay games on Warcraft III. Multiple years of Minecraft roleplay. Quite a bit of Skype roleplay here and there, as well as a tiny bit of forums roleplay. Overall, somewhere between 11-14 years of experience.
Character Information
Name: Ruka Evaliir
Age: 57
Race: Elf
Physical description:
Ruka has somewhat long, wavy brownish hair falling below her shoulders, which her long ears protrude. Sharp, penetrating green eyes most likely featuring an uninterested expression make her an easily identifiable Elf. She stands at a mere 5'3", below the common heights for her race, often the subject of amicable teasing. Her brown leather clothing, though simple and rather rough in appearance and design, offers her warm and protection against grazes and the likes one is likely to encounter whilst living in the wilds. Her shirt does not features arms, likely to get in the way of shooting the bow. The rest of the body is however fully covered, leaving no skin to display. Ruka also wears gloves, fingerless, covering up to her knuckles. A strap diagonally crosses her chest, to which a handmade 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, slightly larger, is used solely to contain a simple brown cloak. Light, tight boots are ordinarily present on her feet.
She usually does not wear her cloak, but may do so in some situations, such as sleeping under the rain.
Screen capture of your skin (I recommend uploading to imgur and posting link here):
Biography: Rewritten main basic biography for this server: Google Doc
What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation): Explore the world.
Strengths (Both physical and personality):
Ruka is physically fit. Her legs in particular are conditioned to running.
Some knowledge of plants*: read the bio. Can be retconned.
Cares a lot for those she sees as friends.
Staring.
Weaknesses:
Socially inadept:
Can care too much for her friends, easily leading to her downfall.
Can be naive; prone to manipulation.
What is your character's personality?:
Quiet, she enjoys staring at others, whether they like it or not. Generally apathetic and closed off to strangers, getting to know her may prove difficult for some. Acts of kindness speak to her better than words can, and she will be quick to trust an seemingly affectionate individuals, perhaps a bit naive. Once she gains an opinion of someone, Ruka will largely keep to it: a bad impression will have a lasting effect, with much effort required to improve it. On the other hand, she will readily protect those close to her, even if sacrifices to herself have to be made.
Ruka does not care much for words. If one were to insult her, she would not react to it or try to defend herself. On the other hand, she will actively seek to protect herself from harm were actual hostility be shown to her, whether that be through fighting or running, whichever she deems more appropriate.
Ruka is meant to be a unique individual, but not one of utmost importance. Were she part of a book, she would be a side character, or perhaps a companion.
As such, she scores a -2 on the Mary Sue test, 6 without de-suifiers. She’s been my main character for nearly as long as I’ve started roleplay (give or take a few days or weeks). I’ve not much else to show her as a non-overpowered character, so these words of mine will hopefully suffice.

It’s been 3 years, riengo. Does time fly really! I’m going to recycle one half of my unused character for its sequel Year 2075 as I wasn’t whitelisted at all despite being accepted before it died. I was afraid the Battle for Enris was a very major event so I rushed to whip up an app but turns out it was the launch! I've got some time.
Keep on derpin'
Isn't it nice reconnecting with old friends?
Yes my first app was a post error, my internet was lagging and it was posted by accident so I fixed it
But was he raised by hyenas in the mushroom kingdom? That is the question.
Indeed! One of my favorite parts of opening a new server is always getting to see familiar faces pop back up
An old Frog. Mallow was raised by an old Frog parodying Confucius.

Character Information
Name: Edric
Age: 20
Race: Human
Physical description: Edric has black hair, a tan skin and is very firm from lots of training. He is average height and he is also young.
Screen capture of your skin (I recommend uploading to imgur and posting link here): http://imgur.com/a/Bb1tX#0 My skin of an explorer!
Biography (Minimum 225 words. Most very fleshed-out characters have around 300, but feel free to use even more than that if you wish. Try and avoid clichés such as loved one being killed by bandits or the like):
Edric was born in Alann. His father was a warrior in Alann and his mother was a teacher from unknown lands.
He loved his old life. He would study, train and also play with his family and siblings for hours. He read books on the entire land and his nation. He knew all kinds of things. He went to best school (even though school didn't matter in Alann). Edric spend hours training and was really strong. His father called him a sure warrior. He seemed so normal, and he was. There was just one thing that nether his mother or father really liked, and it was his adventurous spirit. This was something rare at these times since people thought adventurers are useless and just like to get in trouble.
Edric would secretly do mini adventures by himself and sometimes with his brothers and sisters. His family was very poor and the main source of their income was from their father's job as a warrior. As Edric grew up over the years, he grew more adventurous and when he reached 15, he set off and left Alann for 2 weeks. There Edric grew more strong and learned more things while in Drunn and the Horizon. He learned how to fish and hunt and to survive on his own, something that would be useful in the future. Edric reached 18 and was ready to go to the best university. He received 2 years of all kinds of subjects, specially Alchemy. At the time Edric reached 20 believed his life was good but then something unexpected happened.
A mysterious event brought more war to Alann and is was during this time Edric set off to another journey (Edric didnt know anything about this event until after he set off). This one was an awful journey. He saw entire cities burned to the ground and life of people wrecked an destroyed. He ventured down to St. Jessica and saw the same thing. The screams and fire, the land. All destroyed. He had a lot of pride for his land and did what every he could to help out. He saw children and babies left alone and skeletons everywhere. He reflected on his life and felt sorry for these children, never growing up in happiness, but in a destroyed family and land.
He knew life was hard, like war and poverty that was in his family, but he never knew life was this hard. Edric gave up on being an explorer. He set up shelters to help the families and people. While on this month long journey he received news Alann was destroyed. He rushed back just to see the same pictures again. But this time his family and nation was in it. It was a terrible site. At that point Edric claims, his goal was to help and save the entire land. He stayed in Alann for 2 weeks to learn news that 2 out of the 3 brothers (he makes 4) were gone. His one sister was still safe.Soon news reached that Enris was untouched. Edric mind then thought of untouched nature....safe and still peaceful.
Edric's last spark of adventure lit. Edric had an mission to save the and restore land, and restore it even better than before. He wanted to start a new future and to avenge his brothers. Edric doesn't care about himself anymore, he cares about the land and people. Edric looking for a place to start, chooses Enris. He gets on his horse, packs his bags, and faces toward Enris, ready to go, with his adventurous spirit on.
Edric is going undercoved as an victim of the recent events. He will an normal man that fleed to Enris. He doesn't want people to know his goal and wants to go undercovered.
What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation): Edric's goal is too save the entire land, no matter what it takes. He doesn't want to see his land and nation like this, it pains him.
Strengths (Both physical and personality): Edric is very smart, wise and strong. He is also tough and has an strong mental mind, which comes from his adventuring.
Weaknesses (Balance out yours character's strengths with suitable weaknesses. Not knowing how to do something that is outside of your class is not a weakness. I.E. Not knowing how to use a bow as a miner.): Edric loves adventures, and can be tricked very easily with one. He like to think way to far, and think of the impossible, which sometimes make him get into trouble. He is foolish when it comes to some things.
What is your character's personality? (Optional; use this field to note character traits that you feel don't fit into either strengths or weaknesses if you wish): He can adapt to stuff easily, which is good sometimes. He is sort of friendly but sometimes he isn't. His mouth can get him in trouble.

PhoenixHearts:
I'm gonna defer you again for just the one thing; your strengths and weaknesses aren't really with your character himself, they're how people react to him. Generally try to avoid that, as there's no telling if that's how people will react in RP. Make your character have real strengths and real flaws that can be viewed objectively, not "Seems intimidating," and "Other people don't talk to him." Fix that up a bit and you should be good.
I used to be a player like you, but then I took a SotA to the knee.
