Name: Eluria Maenas, goes by Maenas, or Elle to those who know her
Age: 73
Race: Elf
Physical description:
Eluria is a descendant of the elves of Arturan. She has fine features, pale blond hair and piercing blue eyes. She generally keeps her hair back out of practicality. She is bulkier than most elves from years of hard work, her physique past being lean, and bordering on heavyset. She has a scar over her left eye gained during her years of service. She generally looks fairly intimidating, her facial expression defaulting to a frown.

(A new one is being made, but this is a backup. If necessary I will change my physical description to match it)
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):
Eluria's family hails from Arturan, a nation for which she holds a great deal of disdain. She comes from a family of craftsmen and artisans who left seeking to spread their products to the "unenlightened." Her parents set out while relatively young themselves, desiring to bring civilization to the barbaric lands of Enris. All went well for a while, but they soon learned of the hardships of the place they had come to. Soon after Eluria's birth, her family's holdings were overrun by monsters, as they had been part of an expedition which went out too far. Her parents fled back to the main holding with her, but decided they were unable to care for both a young child and their own wellbeing. They fled Enris, presumably back to Arturan, leaving behind their only daughter, and instilling in her a disdain for those who abandon their duties and responsibilities.
Soon after her abandonment, Eluria was found on the streets by a recently retired captain of the Garrison, Gerald Larmaine, who took her in. He had retired due to old age and had plenty of time on his hands, and took to training her at any chance he had. Larmaine told her stories of his time in the Garrison, and how he helped to maintain order within the city, protecting all the citizens within. It was Larmaine's influence that set Eluria on her path, making her decide she wanted to join the Garrison to uphold the law and order of the city with her own two hands, and to help prevent incidents such as what had occurred in her youth. Soon after Eluria's entry into the guard, Larmaine passed away, having held on to continue her training, but after her acceptance to the guard lacking sufficient reason to live.
Currently, Eluria is a serving member of the Garrison, doing her best to uphold the values she holds dear, protect the citizenry, and continue on after the tragedy of Aemon's Hall.
What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation):
Eluria seeks to bring order to the isle of Enris, while doing her civic duty in fending off the monsters that encroach on her home.
Strengths (Both physical and personality):
She is physically very capable, having worked long and hard to gain and maintain the level of fitness necessary to carry out her duties. She is an experienced swordfighter, having fought long and hard against the monsters threatening her home.
She is extremely loyal and resolute, with very strong convictions, and the drive to follow through on them. She will go to nearly any length for those she trusts or seeks to protect.
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.):
Her sense of justice can be to the level of a fault. These same convictions which provide her strength also are her greatest weakness. She puts the law above all else, and lacks flexibility in many regards. She has a certain idea of the way things should be done, and feels it necessary to follow through on what she believes is the correct path.
Due to some of these very strong convictions, Eluria often has trouble relating to civilians, though she does try in her efforts to protect them.
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):
Eluria is generally serious, often berating others for being rowdy. She is fairly self-confident, knowing that she is good at what she does, and trusting in her own judgement. She enjoys a job done right, and maintaining order in her life. She does have a soft spot for those who show her kindness despite her craggy demeanor. She tends to be most at home when she’s in control of a situation, and gets uncomfortable if she feels a situation is getting out of her control.
Lovestuck- I really like the bio for your character. The weaknesses could've been worked on a bit more, but the over all quality of the application deemed that it was alright. Just know next time that not all warriors have to know how to use a bow, so not knowing how to use one wouldn't be a weakness.
In case you weren't aware, Lovestuck, without Simple or Martial Weapons Proficiency you'll be restricted to using the "Universal" weapons like the wooden club, which are pretty limited in their effectiveness. That'd certainly be a weakness for an up-front tank. A personality flaw or two is always appreciated as well
Oof! That was a bit tough but no worries in the end.

Character Information
Name: Cecil Werner
Age: 34 (Approaching his 35th in a few RP days’ time)
Race: Half-Man
Physical description: Cecil, other than the short and stout generalities of every Half-Man is noticeably shorter than average (a measly 4 feet) and has particularly broad shoulders after years of toiling in his jobs with both arms. His brown hair is unkempt and despite wrapping his head around with an off-white bandana slight rebellious tuffs still manage to stick out. Across his cream-coloured skin are like-coloured irises and a thick beard surrounding his lower jaw that grew slowly but steadily right after puberty, helped by the lack of trimming. While not very long it extends at least beyond his chin and stops at just above his upper arms.
In terms of clothes, Cecil opted for the traditional Half-Man clothing to present himself beyond Drunn. He wears a steel grey short-sleeve coat over a light grey undershirt, both shoulders lined with shoulderpads. On his hands are gauntlets with knuckle-guards. At the bottom, he wears ebony trousers accompanied with knee guards and shoes. Fastened around his waist is a brass belt lined with small cut emerald gemstones. Cecil hangs his portable lithophone at his back.

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):
About 3 decades ago from Present Time, at the Drunn Delivery House by the great subterranean lake, two souls of Werner and Whiterock were brought to existence. However, our main focus here is the first of the fraternal twins. Born first of the aspiring Werner family with his twin brother Cyril following shortly after, Cecil was raised with high expectations from his parents to bring familial pride as the first child and father plenty of children to sustain the culture of Halfmankind and trace plenty of future Halfmen back to the Werners. Plenty of Halfmen have taken to the surface for better business opportunities but Cecil’s father remained adamant in his stone and ore refinery business, to find as much minerals to purify and stone to polish to the ends of the World, especially getting his hands on the elusive emerald gemstones.
As Cecil grew in his childhood, his twin brother lamented how he was destined at birth to be of less importance per Halfmen traditions and Cecil being given the long end of the stick most of the time. Cyril sought to train frequently on basic of practical skills, help out with the workers around the caves in any small way possible and intends to pursue Arcane studies while staying put. As Cecil was laughed at by friends and family for not suiting a first child to be the best for his family, he tried to lessen the damage to his image by being neck-to-neck, scarring the brotherly relations. Cyril embraced his differences to crush stereotype of twins being the same and constantly noted them to be always the better than Cecil.
Cecil’s parents urged him to start off his living after his coming of age to follow his father’s footsteps, giving the business continuity for another generation of Werners. He was to be a very productive and observant miner and raise a good reputation for the Werner family, at the same time impressing potential romantic interests so he can settle down. At that time, he could finally rest his tireless arms and take over the business to usurp even the very mining business he worked in. However, the other wary middle class families see through this plan crystal clear and got every miner to work as hard as they could, leading to a momentary economic boom that fizzled out as fast as its cause underwent. Cyril spread stories of how Cecil is taking away his chance to shine out of the Werners just by birth order despite appearing to be more competent than Cecil, souring all his work relations. His fellow miners (including Cyril) conspired to set him up as a blame for a mining cave-in that severely crippled one of the miners’ legs.
Cilio was let go of his mining job and his father let him as an apprentice to the smith he supplied refined minerals to. Bouts of accusations by the smith’s contemporaries and friends of alleged croneyism forced him to demote to him to very menial tasks, exaggerated as “some little progress” in going a long way. What plenty of people haven’t taken heed greatly is how efficient Cecil absorbs knowledge, either by instruction or observing actions. Cecil demonstrated quickly how he repaired one of their customer’s weaponry. As the days progress Cecil becomes more proficient in the basics of Smithing where the Smith quickly finished out the apprenticeship before true Mastery, fearing the social implications of him being on the same level as Cecil.
Cecil, unable to start a proper Smithy and refused to be hired by existing Halfmen businesses, was left in-between jobs and family dishonour. His own way of living would be met with extremely aggressive competition that it’s not worth it. Desperate, he heard rumours of The Holy Land, if following on the Journeys of Thaer bestows prosperity upon anyone if done around this time. Reading through archaic recounts of Thaer’s travels, he set out a vague route to reach there for a better future than dead-end Drunn. Stealing a portion from his father’s reserves, he announces his leave sharply at his family and set off with high spirits.
Journeying across the Mainland posing as a Bard with a portable lithophone (his childhood hobby), keeping on his toes for safety, learning the Wanderers’ language and meeting plenty of travellers Cecil knows their words mean good omens once he sets foot on Enris. As Cecil steps on the boat, he knows the first signs of fortune is within his hands in a few days’ time.
What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation): To find a better opportunity in the surface, especially in Enris and make a name of himself as a Drunn-raised Half-Man, garnering popularity for his homeland and family and outshine his ambitious twin brother once and for all.
Strengths (Both physical and personality): For years of mining, Cecil’s arms have grown used to the heavy load of his pick and effort to extract to the most stubborn of minerals; lifting and carrying heavy objects over his body is not much of a problem (also applies in wielding weapons—hint hint). Physical training compulsory for miners also ensured he has toughened up to avoid being too injured easily in minor mining accidents or even just mining itself. Cecil absorbs what he sees and instructions in learning skills quickly even if he forgets the techniques without frequent use. Curiosity naturally came to him upon ascending to the surface. Cecil’s dialogue is also to-the-point to spare people the time to understand what he wants to say.
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.): Rarely setting out to different regions of the world, Cecil does not understand different climates and settled cultures well. Cecil also lacks substantial proficiency in weaponry for proper combat and had almost put his life on the line had he not travelled along with fellow trustworthy and helpful wanderers. Infrequent application of skills he learnt also leads to him forgetting them easily and quite some re-learning is required. Cecil is also receptive to charms of promiscuous people, leaving him to their exploits.
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 may originate from competitive Halfmen culture but Cecil doesn’t feel too pressured to rise above others especially since how he was locked out of the competition several times. Throughout his journey, he upholds a quixotic spirit, putting his trust in Enris’ holy status. Cecil’s intonation raises randomly while he speaks which may confuse those paying particular attention.

I have a question. In the main thread, where languages are. Its says Allani - Language spoken by the peoples of Allan.
Do they mean Alann? Where my character was born? If so can i include that on my bonus languages?
EDIT:
Another question:
Does scholar/chef have to be 2 points? Or can I do 1 point each? I currently have 2 points on each and want to put 1 each
Yes, I think it means Alann, there's a couple typos. If your app hasn't been accepted yet, I see no reason why you can't use that as your bonus language. It would consume your bonus language slot, though, not be an additional one.
And yes, Scholar and Chef cost 2 points, there are no 1-point versions of them.
In case you weren't aware, Lovestuck, without Simple or Martial Weapons Proficiency you'll be restricted to using the "Universal" weapons like the wooden club, which are pretty limited in their effectiveness. That'd certainly be a weakness for an up-front tank. A personality flaw or two is always appreciated as well
As humorous or fearsome as a plate armor warrior wielding a wooden club would be, I'd imagine my character would be a laughing stock of a mercenary. I've also updated my weakness with a personality flaw and improved the trait list to at the minimum, allow my character to use a more sophisticated weapon.

Not to repeat myself intentionally but riengo can confirm for me that I RP’d in post-apocalypse Year 2065. Rosquilla/Ghrimwoad can confirm for me that I RP’d in steampunk Atticia and also fantasy Realm of Saphriel. I have tried my hand in forum roleplaying once but I have been turned off at how I couldn’t catch up just by living on the other side of the Americas and quit.
Character Information
Name: Cecil Werner
Age: 34 (Approaching his 35th in a few RP days’ time)
Race: Half-Man
Physical description: Cecil, other than the short and stout generalities of every Half-Man is noticeably shorter than average (a measly 4 feet) and has particularly broad shoulders after years of toiling in his jobs with both arms. His brown hair is unkempt and despite wrapping his head around with an off-white bandana slight rebellious tuffs still manage to stick out. Across his cream-coloured skin are like-coloured irises and a thick beard surrounding his lower jaw that grew slowly but steadily right after puberty, helped by the lack of trimming. While not very long it extends at least beyond his chin and stops at just above his upper arms.
In terms of clothes, Cecil opted for the traditional Half-Man clothing to present himself beyond Drunn. He wears a steel grey short-sleeve coat over a light grey undershirt, both shoulders lined with shoulderpads. On his hands are gauntlets with knuckle-guards. At the bottom, he wears ebony trousers accompanied with knee guards and shoes. Fastened around his waist is a brass belt lined with small cut emerald gemstones. Cecil hangs his portable lithophone at his back.

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):
About 3 decades ago from Present Time, at the Drunn Delivery House by the great subterranean lake, two souls of Werner and Whiterock were brought to existence. However, our main focus here is the first of the fraternal twins. Born first of the aspiring Werner family with his twin brother Cyril following shortly after, Cecil was raised with high expectations from his parents to bring familial pride as the first child and father plenty of children to sustain the culture of Halfmankind and trace plenty of future Halfmen back to the Werners. Plenty of Halfmen have taken to the surface for better business opportunities but Cecil’s father remained adamant in his stone and ore refinery business, to find as much minerals to purify and stone to polish to the ends of the World, especially getting his hands on the elusive emerald gemstones.
As Cecil grew in his childhood, his twin brother lamented how he was destined at birth to be of less importance per Halfmen traditions and Cecil being given the long end of the stick most of the time. Cyril sought to train frequently on basic of practical skills, help out with the workers around the caves in any small way possible and intends to pursue Arcane studies while staying put. As Cecil was laughed at by friends and family for not suiting a first child to be the best for his family, he tried to lessen the damage to his image by being neck-to-neck, scarring the brotherly relations. Cyril embraced his differences to crush stereotype of twins being the same and constantly noted them to be always the better than Cecil.
Cecil’s parents urged him to start off his living after his coming of age to follow his father’s footsteps, giving the business continuity for another generation of Werners. He was to be a very productive and observant miner and raise a good reputation for the Werner family, at the same time impressing potential romantic interests so he can settle down. At that time, he could finally rest his tireless arms and take over the business to usurp even the very mining business he worked in. However, the other wary middle class families see through this plan crystal clear and got every miner to work as hard as they could, leading to a momentary economic boom that fizzled out as fast as its cause underwent. Cyril spread stories of how Cecil is taking away his chance to shine out of the Werners just by birth order despite appearing to be more competent than Cecil, souring all his work relations. His fellow miners (including Cyril) conspired to set him up as a blame for a mining cave-in that severely crippled one of the miners’ legs.
Cilio was let go of his mining job and his father let him as an apprentice to the smith he supplied refined minerals to. Bouts of accusations by the smith’s contemporaries and friends of alleged croneyism forced him to demote to him to very menial tasks, exaggerated as “some little progress” in going a long way. What plenty of people haven’t taken heed greatly is how efficient Cecil absorbs knowledge, either by instruction or observing actions. Cecil demonstrated quickly how he repaired one of their customer’s weaponry. As the days progress Cecil becomes more proficient in the basics of Smithing where the Smith quickly finished out the apprenticeship before true Mastery, fearing the social implications of him being on the same level as Cecil.
Cecil, unable to start a proper Smithy and refused to be hired by existing Halfmen businesses, was left in-between jobs and family dishonour. His own way of living would be met with extremely aggressive competition that it’s not worth it. Desperate, he heard rumours of The Holy Land, if following on the Journeys of Thaer bestows prosperity upon anyone if done around this time. Reading through archaic recounts of Thaer’s travels, he set out a vague route to reach there for a better future than dead-end Drunn. Stealing a portion from his father’s reserves, he announces his leave sharply at his family and set off with high spirits.
Journeying across the Mainland posing as a Bard with a portable lithophone (his childhood hobby), keeping on his toes for safety, learning the Wanderers’ language and meeting plenty of travellers Cecil knows their words mean good omens once he sets foot on Enris. As Cecil steps on the boat, he knows the first signs of fortune is within his hands in a few days’ time.
What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation): To find a better opportunity in the surface, especially in Enris and make a name of himself as a Drunn-raised Half-Man, garnering popularity for his homeland and family and outshine his ambitious twin brother once and for all.
Strengths (Both physical and personality): For years of mining, Cecil’s arms have grown used to the heavy load of his pick and effort to extract to the most stubborn of minerals; lifting and carrying heavy objects over his body is not much of a problem (also applies in wielding weapons—hint hint). Physical training compulsory for miners also ensured he has toughened up to avoid being too injured easily in minor mining accidents or even just mining itself. Cecil absorbs what he sees and instructions in learning skills quickly even if he forgets the techniques without frequent use. Curiosity naturally came to him upon ascending to the surface. Cecil’s dialogue is also to-the-point to spare people the time to understand what he wants to say.
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.): Rarely setting out to different regions of the world, Cecil does not understand different climates and settled cultures well. Cecil also lacks substantial proficiency in weaponry for proper combat and had almost put his life on the line had he not travelled along with fellow trustworthy and helpful wanderers. Infrequent application of skills he learnt also leads to him forgetting them easily and quite some re-learning is required. Cecil is also receptive to charms of promiscuous people, leaving him to their exploits.
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 may originate from competitive Halfmen culture but Cecil doesn’t feel too pressured to rise above others especially since how he was locked out of the competition several times. Throughout his journey, he upholds a quixotic spirit, putting his trust in Enris’ holy status. Cecil’s intonation raises randomly while he speaks which may confuse those paying particular attention.

Join these forums and you'll be good to go! See you on August 15th!
I have a question. In the main thread, where languages are. Its says Allani - Language spoken by the peoples of Allan.
Do they mean Alann? Where my character was born? If so can i include that on my bonus languages?
EDIT:
Another question:
Does scholar/chef have to be 2 points? Or can I do 1 point each? I currently have 2 points on each and want to put 1 each

Yes, I think it means Alann, there's a couple typos. If your app hasn't been accepted yet, I see no reason why you can't use that as your bonus language. It would consume your bonus language slot, though, not be an additional one.
And yes, Scholar and Chef cost 2 points, there are no 1-point versions of them.
Ok thanks!

Good job. I look forward to seeing you on the server!
Explorer, don't hesitate to ask us more questions!
As humorous or fearsome as a plate armor warrior wielding a wooden club would be, I'd imagine my character would be a laughing stock of a mercenary. I've also updated my weakness with a personality flaw and improved the trait list to at the minimum, allow my character to use a more sophisticated weapon.
Nice! Yeah, those were some very wise changes It would have been very entertaining to see the original build! I look forward to seeing you on the server!
I have finshed!

Perhaps you'd like to re-post your app down here, so it's easier for the Whitelisters to find it?
Yes ok. If I can on my iPad (copy & paste is just awful, Apple please fix it )
Edit: Oh man, it removes all my spacing, text size, color and all of that. I'll see how I can bring my page 9 app here
