Biography (Minimum 400 words. Cannot include loved ones being killed, kidnapped, tortured, or the like, unless you can do it in a non-cliche manner.):
About 4000AR there was a race of advanced high humans, who lived to the far north, on a series of mountains which are now submerged in water. This is where the Azuai Dwelled. Since there was never any more than 50,000 of them at any one time, nobody ever found them and bothered to tell of it. Then after over 3000 years of peace, and carelessness, a natural disaster known as the cataclypse occurred It split open the main mountain, where the democratic members dwelled, and the waters from the great seas came flooding in from the east. In just 2 days, a civilization was destroyed, by a natural event. The few who survived fled the mountains, and headed south, where the land is flat and the other races dwelled. Over thousands of years the remaining Azuai died off, they were not used to the temperatures and creatures living here. But somehow, no more than 50 Azuai, only 3 of which carried pureblood from the ancients survived, to this day.
Howl lives a busy life, in the forest. Chops wood in the day, and keeps his family safe at night with his bow. His mother was the last pureblood Azuai, and his father a normal human. At the age of 12, his mother died after a group of bandits broke into the home, and killed her. His father fled, and has not been seen by him or anyone since then. Howl turned to the bandits, and for 3 years was one of them, killing, stealing and lying his way around the lands.
Howl always had an element of good in him, and it took him 3 years to find it. At the age of 15 and a half, he realised the bad he had done, and fled to the islands, where he resides in the slum. An ex-bandit, and a homeless boy, he has lived on the islands for 3 months now, and life has been fairly simple. He disguised himself as a woodsman, and is rarely seen doing anything else than hanging around random places.
What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation): To start over, and escape from the calamity which was his life.
Strengths (Both physical and personality): Smarter and faster than most others, and can climb virtually anything.

Walking down the streets of the Capitol, you encounter a pair of heavily armed and armoured men harassing a young girl. Howl looks upon the girl, and feels a spike of dread run down his spine. **Howl stops and looks into the eyes of one of the men, the proceeds to kick him under his chin** **The other man hits his leg away**
Sensing what a stupid move it was, Howl runs up the wall of a nearby building, as the guards try to pursue him the girl escapes.
A man approaches you with a proposition - Go to Bloodstone and retrieve something for him, and you will be well rewarded. I will take you up on your offer sir, but first you must tell me my reward if i am to go to such a place
The man looks at him deeply, he heightens his chin and changes his mind
Im sorry, but i cannot tell you what that is. **Howl then sighs, and proceeds to walk off**
You pass an old man lying on the side of the street, begging for food.
**Howl throws the man a carrot and an apple, which he had in his satchel** Don't waste these, i killed a bandit for them.
In a tavern, a slightly inebriated fellow insults your mother. **Howl looks the drunked in the eye, and smashes his face into the table without a word**
Let that be a lesson to you, insulting the dead is a crime worth dying yourself. **Howl then walks away, as a small amount of blood drips off the side of the table**
You take a liking to a beautiful necklace a passing woman wears. Thats a lovely necklace you have there, you must have alot of money to afford that!

Biography (Minimum 400 words. Cannot include loved ones being killed, kidnapped, tortured, or the like, unless you can do it in a non-cliche manner.):
Age 2-10
* Flashback to age 2 * " Frosty My boy... Cmere. I have a special treat for you, I promise son that this is the last time we will Go... " * Flash-out * * Flashback to age 4 * " Frost. I have a special Suprise for you. Its your own Wooden pick... One day you will grow up to become a big dwarf..." At the time Frostbeard didnt think much of his Dwarvernish. infact he didnt even care about his own race. he cared about his family and his own well being. * Flashback to age 7 * " Frost! FROST! Look... They found some coal on one of the islands far away. Do you think We will no longer be poor? " " I dont know... Coal isnt worth that much right now... But i am looking forward to having torches in my Cave! " " But its my cave too! " * Flash to age 9 * * The family is celebrating the completion of a 2-year Coal mining contract and Frostbeards father is coming home for awhile. * " I am so giddy with excitement... These past few years have been so good to us. we have had Food on our table and light in our homes. i think The times have gotten better for us " *
Age 10-15
* Flashback to 11 * * The family is taking a trip on a unfamiliar island * " LOOK! THAT CHURCH IS ON FIRE! " " Frost. Stay here! I am going to go look to see if anyone is hurt. " " But... Dad! You must stay with us.... " " No son... i must leave now... Im sorry... I love you all... I will be right back " * The father runs to the church to look for survivors/injured people * * But as soon as the father runs in to the building the area disinigrates. * " FATHER! " " NO! " * The crowd flees leaving frostbeard and his family to watch in awe * " NO... * SOB * NO! " * 5 Minutes later Frostbeard and his family are on a Ship Leaving the harbour fleeing for the nearest island. * Passenger: I lost my home... Passenger2: I lost my wife. Passenger3: I lost my business. Passenger 4: Shutup all of you. I lost everything * sob * * 5 More minutes later the Entire island that the village was on crumbles into oblivion. * (( Think of alderon from Star wars exploding after a shot from the death star.))
Age 13: It has been Two years since the collaspe of the island and the death of his father. The family once more has plunged into poverty and all of the brothers and sisters are doing what they can to help. Frostbeard has been collecting mushrooms in caves and his mother has began farming aswell as his sisters becoming cooks and his brothers dock loaders. Many would say Frostbeard should have been depressed at this point for losing a powerful father figure at this point in his life. But frostbeard is the exact opposite, Frostbeard see's his fathers death as a chance to redeem his family from the depths of poverty.
Age 15: * Frostbeard and his mother have been scavaging through old family records and discover a ancient family seal * " What in Fathers name is that... " " Its the old family seal of the Stoneaters. It is the symbol of a diamond pick, Our family comes from great heritage... However our wealth and fame died long ago when the monsters struck the land and ravaged it like a bear on honey. Your father used to say that our families ancient diamond pick had been hidden in the earth on a island far away. I always thought it was a lie Because diamond hasnt been seen in these parts for Decades. " " What do you mean diamond hasnt been found here for years? " " Industry i guess... It must have mined all the diamonds out back in the 100 Ar - 120 Ar Years. Since then even Iron has been scarce. " " I Guess this seal is just a memory of the past, Forever forgotten and useless and dead. "
Age 20: " Oh no... Here come the pirates again. " " FROSTBEARD. QUICKLY RING THE BELL, WARN THE OTHERS! " * Explosions come roaring into the land. Buildings burn * * The Warning bell tower quickly crumbles and a loud Crack is heard through the island * * Monsters are seen ontop of the Pirate ships. * " Oh no... Something is very... very... Wrong. Quickly Frostbeard grab your cloth armor and grab a shield and sword. We must repel the monsters. " * Frostbeard suits up and wonders how much a cloth armor could actually help him against iron and stone swords aswell as arrows. * * Within A hour the monsters are filling the village. at first count about 1000 of them are seen against the village of about 100. * * Frostbeard is wounded and retreats back to his house fighting. * " Damned. This flesh wound is bad... stupid cloth armor. no wonder im so hurt, cloth cant do squat. " " FROSTBEARD! MOM IS DEAD, Her last dieing words were " By the crack of dawn on the 5th day of the Eigth Centenial The Tomb will crack revealing its treasures. " " But what the hell does that mean? " " I dont know frostbeard, But we must leave Immediatly. " " * The town lies in fire As frostbeard and his brother leave the island. Its infested with Monsters Almost everyone is dead leaving about 500 Monsters left. The pirate airships crashed and left the island a smoking mess. *
Age 24: * It has been 4 years since the destruction of his home island, Frostbeard is emotionally and phyically drained. He has been haunted by dreams of the burning island and lately has been remembering the death of his father more vividly. He is nearly at the suicide point, Almost nothing will bring him back now, Except for the Few words he remembers from his mom. " By the crack of dawn on the 5th day of the Eight centenial the tomb will crack revealing its treasures. * " BROTHER! " " What?!?! Why are you so loud? " " I know what mom means now, The tomb inwhich our family pick is contained in. " " Your mad. I love you but your insane. " " No im not, We must find the tomb. " * A loud booming noise is heard * " What was that... " " I dont know... It doesnt sound good but... We must find out what it is. " * The sun is just lighting up the dark and gloomy sky as frostbeard and his brother step onto their Airship * " My god... What is that... " * Frostbeard and his brother see a bright light shining not too far away. * " We must go to it... " * Frostbeard and his brother fly towards the light with the wind on their side. Soon they arrive at their Home island... Bad memories fill frostbeards mind * " No... What now is happening In the village... " " I dont know... but it doesnt look good " * Frostbeard and his brother land at the site of the light and it is the old Village church to the Sky goddes. * " But why is the light here... " " Look! its the old church... Lets head inside. " * Frostbeard and his brother travel into the church where it is oddly dimly lit. They soon hear the sounds of monsters but also see a crack in the stone floor. * " Look... Is this the tomb perhaps? " " No... It cant be... Mom said it was far far away. " * A bolt of thunder comes out of nowhere and opens up the crack in the floor leading down a stairway. *
Inside the Tomb: * It is dark and dimly lit and there are the sounds of what sounds like abominations. * " Wow.... " " My god... This place has been looted! " * They quickly travel down a dark corridor where they see Bright light eminating from a door. * " It looks slightly tealish... " " You mean Diamond tealish? " " Yeah yeah.... Shuddup " * They open the door and there they see it. The famed and legendary diamond pickaxe awaits them sitting on a pedestal. Unfortunatly for frostbeard it is sorounded by 5 Hulking endermen That are Twice their normal size. * " Frostbeard. You get the Pickaxe. I will draw them away " " NO! " * Quickly frostbeards Brother looks all 5 in the eye and is attacked viciously " * Frostbeard goes for the pickaxe and sees his brother get torn to shreds. * * Just as frostbeard grabs the pickaxe and hurries to his brother, whats left of his brother and the 5 endermen transform into a portal. * * The tomb is quickly filled with monsters as frostbeard grieves for his brother. * " Nooooooooo!!! " " I'm sorry brother... i must leave now... Their is no life for me left in this unforgiving land. Im truly sorry... " * With that frostbeard steps through the portal and lands into a New land... *
Age 25: * Frostbeard has lost everything a month ago. His family, his home, his brother, everything that ever mattered, He is now in a land with the " Chancelor " empire in which he has made some bad impressions trying to get citizenship. He also certainly made any freinds within the Fallen faction, Frostbeard is a outcast... But atleast he is still alive. Frostbeards only thought left is to rebuild the Stoneaters Dynasty and repay his debt to his cowardness for his dead brother.

Dino42 - Okay, making this short. Your app was very, very bad. Your bio was obviously copied from somewhere else, given that it's in a different font and none of the things mentioned in it are said ANYWHERE in our lore, a few OOC questions were wrong, the Citizen/Medori question is NOT "Yes or No," it is multiple choice, and your ICRs were...just bad. Good luck in finding somewhere else to RP and have a nice day.
winner10 - Dwarves do not exist in our lore, your app overall was incredibly poorly written, and the Citizen/Medori question, for the last time, is MULTIPLE CHOICE. Good luck finding somewhere else, and have a nice day.
winner10 - Dwarves do not exist in our lore, your app overall was incredibly poorly written, and the Citizen/Medori question, for the last time, is MULTIPLE CHOICE. Good luck finding somewhere else, and have a nice day.
Then why doesnt it say in the OP a list of races that do not exist within the Skylands? >.< Cant believe i wasted 2 hours of my time writing a bio about a race that doesnt even exist in a land.
And what citizen/fallen question are you referring to?
Do you have a Skype? If so, what is your Skype Name? (This is by no means required and holds no weight on your acceptance. We just use Skype a lot): The server owners already have it, as they know me
Have you read all of the rules, agree to abide by them, and by the decisions of our staff?: Absolutely
What is the definition of “Powergaming”?: Describing actions that control others, so as they have no choice in what they are doing.
What is the definition of “Metagaming”?: Using out-of-character information while in-character to further oneself or another
What is the definition of “Roleplay”?: Pretending one is a character they have created, and acting out the actions and speech accordingly with other roleplayers
Who can use flymod, X-ray and other such clientsided mods?: No one
When are you allowed to cause the death of another character?: The other character must decide if he/she wants to die; one cannot intentionally murder another without the approval of the other.
When are you allowed to speak out of character?: Speaking out of character must be done with () while in the in-character local channel, and limited to as little as possible. There’s a separate out-of-character global channel for ooc chat.

Who are the Order of Aradin?: A group of nights largely tasked with protecting the public from monsters (mobs). They are currently a shadow of their former selves, as their job is no longer as useful as before.
What are the Net and Essence?: The Net is an object/being/thing that catches those that fall off the islands and returns them to land. For a cost of Essence (3 levels), one can keep their items as well. Essence is essentially Minecraft levels, and doesn’t serve many purposes aside from keeping ones items after falling. It is described as the First Plane’s Mana, but is not as useful as the Second Plane’s.

If you have played on other RP servers, please say which and why you left: Nope, haven’t played on any others. Which is why I’m looking to try
Character Information
Name: Dahlian
Age: 27
Class: Laborer
Citizen of the Chancellory or a member of the Medori?: Citizen
Physical description: Gangly, tall, some muscle but not much, cargo pants type clothing, a bit dirty/grimy, brown hair, some facial hair but not much
Screen capture of your skin:
Biography (Minimum 400 words. Cannot include loved ones being killed, kidnapped, tortured, or the like, unless you can do it in a non-cliche manner.):
Dahlian was orphaned as a young child (about 6 years of age) due to a freak airship accident involving the semi-death of his merchant parents. They (his parents) were able to throw Dahlian out a small port from their cabin in the airship, where the Net caught him and spat him back out naked on the nearest island. His parents, however, could not fit through the port, and their cabin door had been blocked by rubble. The soon to follow explosion that destroyed the ship also severely injured Dahlian’s parents, and after the Net caught them they were rushed to the nearest medical building. Unfortunately, their wounds were too great, and although the doctors were able to stabilize them, they ended up lapsing into a coma. Dahlian, unable to be taken care of by his parents, had to be fostered away.
Dahlian himself was taken in by a family friend at the docks who had no children of his own, and although the poorer life was new to him, Dahlian soon learned to live with the constant work that was needed in order to pay the rent. Although not as physically strong as the other dock workers, Dahlian was able to apply his love of mechanics to build small contraptions here and there to help him, essentially getting the same amount of work done as the others. Ever since the airship incident, however, Dahlian has viewed mechanics with a little bit more respect, and is wary about accidents that may happen. Hence, he tries to make his contraptions as safe as possible. Granted, this isn’t always possible. For the most part Dahlian has been working at the docks since then. When he came of age, he found his own place to live. He’s made decent wages; enough to live and help support his foster father and help pay for the care of his comatose parents, whose own life savings which have been used to sustain them are slowly dwindling.
Of course, Dahlian also visits his parents often. Those who practice magic have often come to study them, and try to develop ways to help. The medical staff who look after Dahlian's parents tell him that even if they were to regain consciousness, they would be mostly paralized. Therefore, Dahlian wishes to somehow find a way to create mechanical exoskeletons so they can move once again. This is more or less his long term obsession. For this reason, Dahlian hopes to one day be apprenticed to the Great Inventor. He knows this is a long shot, Dahlian being so lowly, but he hopes that if the Great Inventor sees his contraptions he might be interested in further training a young inventor. Dahlian often hangs around areas where the Great Inventor might visit, so he can one day get a chance to talk to him.
What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation): To learn. Specifically about mechanics (redstone). This is so he can create the mechanical exoskeletons his parents need to move.
Strengths (Both physical and personality): High mental capability. Adventurous rather than reserved (could also be a weakness at times). Likes to meet new people, especially those with similar interests. Also is a fairly nice guy at heart, although he doesn’t always show it on the outside.
Weaknesses (Both physical and personality. Not knowing how to do something that is outside of your class is not a weakness. IE not knowing how to use bows and magic, if you are a swordsman.): A bit mischievous; can get him in trouble. Although he likes to meet people, he is also extremely wary of anyone he doesn’t know. Not very strong; overestimates his own strength sometimes.
Does your character have any connections to currently-existing characters or characters yet to be accepted? If so, which? (See “Character Linking Aid”. Please post a link to the topic.): nope
In-Character-Responses (ICRs. For each scenario, write at least a paragraph describing entirely in-character how your character would respond to the situation. Your ICRs will be used to see how well you can RP. Please post them as if in IC chat. An example can be found after this form.)
Walking down the streets of the Capitol, you encounter a pair of heavily armed and armoured men harassing a young girl.
Hey, watcha bunch of guys like you doing picking on someone young like that? Don’t you have higher hopes? C’mere, I can show you where to find better catches. *winks at girl* Whispers to girl: Go on now, before they change their minds. [If the men follow, leads them in a confusing path around town, hoping to lose them]
A man approaches you with a proposition - Go to Bloodstone and retrieve something for him, and you will be well rewarded.
*Warily* What kind of reward are we talking about? [If the reward is good] Hmm… I’ll have to think about it, but probably. I’ll need some backup/guards. You feel like supplying that? [If the reward is bad] Ehhh… maybe another time. There’s something else I need to be doing right now. [If the man is dodgy about the reward] Perhaps… I really don’t want to go without knowing what kind of reward I’ll have; won’t know if it’s worth it, ya know? I’ll think about it, but the answers probably going to be no unless you can provide some sort of force to make sure I’m protected or something like that.
You pass an old man lying on the side of the street, begging for food.
*Looks to both sides of the street to make sure no one is around* Whispers to himself: grumble grumble, I gotta keep an image… guess there’s no one around To the man: Here ya go old fellow *hands him some food/money* I hope you can get by a bit more with that. Breaks my heart to see you sitting there. *sits down next to the man to have a conversation, all the while keeping an eye out for passerbyers that might know him*
In a tavern, a slightly inebriated fellow insults your mother.
Well now, that’s not very nice even if it is true, isn’t it? But whatever man, its drinkin’ time. What about your mother? Whats wrong with her? Or with his? *points* C’mon, what else ya got ta say? *grabs a pint and joins the man at poking fun at random people’s mothers* [Later, after he is probably kicked out of the bar] Well worth it. Definitely well worth it.
You take a liking to a beautiful necklace a passing woman wears.
Excuse me ma’am, is that necklace for sale? If not, do you know where I can find one? I uh… need one for a girlfriend. Yeah, that’s it, a girlfriend. The jeweler at the other side of town? Why thank you, probably would have taken me forever to think of that! *rolls eyes* Oh, sorry, my sarcasm just comes out sometimes… Seriously though, thank you! *waves goodbye*
Do you have any questions about the server or our lore?: nope
And what citizen/fallen question are you referring to?
"Citizen of the Chancellery or a member of the Medori?"
The above question is multiple choice. You are either a citizen of the Chancellery or a member of the Medori.
~~~
To all future applicants, please remain on the safe side and use what is explicitly stated in our lore. If dwarves and elves aren't mentioned, assume they do not exist. Of course, Loremasters/GMs/Admins/Whitelisters are always contactable if you think that you have a viable character idea that you'd like to discuss with us. The main point is, stay within our lore unless you have a very thought out reason you shouldn't, and if that is the case, contact a staff member so that you won't waste your time writing an app with unapproved content .
A list of races nonexistent in the Skylands would take up.... a LOT of space.

-snip-
To be honest, The only reason i chose not to pick either citizen or medori is because one of the whitelisters a couple pages ago said Technicly you can be a wild person. Aka Wildsman.
And how else was i supposed to know theyre were no dwarves or mermans or giant hulking stone giants in The skylands?

Because it doesn't say that there are any of those races in the OP. It's like gamer suggested, if it doesn't mention an elfen/dwarven/other race in the OP, assume it doesn't exist in lore.
Also, the mermen was kind of obvious... Considering there's no sea and very small bodies of water unfit for any form of sea life besides fish and other non-fictional water creatures.

just to make it clear, i honestly did not copy the bio, the font was meant to make it look cooler :/. As for the other bits, i see my mistakes. I dont think im allowed to try applying again, but then again i dont think this is a server for people re-learning how to Rp.
Sorry for wasting your time, have fun on your server.
I probably shouldn't have tried, back to reality then.
Not a bad app, my friend, not bad at all - Especially for a first timer! It would've been nice to have seen dialogue in your ICRs, but they were acceptable as they are. Look forward to seeing you server side!
Do you have a Skype? If so, what is your Skype Name?: Yes I do, however it contains my real name. I would prefer to keep this to myself for now.
Have you read all of the rules, agree to abide by them, and by the decisions of our staff?: Of course. I don't want to get banned on my first day on the server.
What is the definition of “Powergaming”?: This is the aspect of making your character as overpowered as possible. this can range from a variety of elements like instant regeneration and pulling a 105mm Howitzer out of your back pocket.
What is the definition of “Metagaming”?: Metagaming (commonly known as meta) is the usage of "out of character" information "in character." An example would be player A killing player B for being a vampire when in character, player A had no idea player B was of the vampire blood.
What is the definition of “Roleplay”?: Roleplay is... Amazing. Roleplay is the creation of a character that can be based off a person or who a person wants to be. Roleplay is the usage of that character in a story-line server, forum, or event in which the person acts out the character.
Who can use flymod, X-ray and other such clientsided mods?: In lieu of this seemingly obvious question, my response would to be laugh and say "no" after laughing.
When are you allowed to cause the death of another character?: Only when you have a reason to/ a victory in a fight/ fighting in a war/ if the other player agrees.
When are you allowed to speak out of character?: In most servers I have played in, once in a while. This can be used to ask a staff member a question, ask another player a question, or plan an rp with another player.
Have you read the primary server lore of our server and agree to roleplay in accordance with it?: Of course. It wouldn't really make since for me to run around the server with a pip-boy looking for bottle-caps while shooting mutants with a plasma rifle. (I love Fallout.)
Who is allowed to use magic?: Magic based classes that include Mages and Priests.
Who are the Fallen?: Medori. A peaceful people that usually keep away from conflict. They constantly use storytelling to express and expand their culture.
When and how did our current government come to be?: Around 169 A.R. After the Warden rebellion that wiped out a good majority of the Linyera family.
Who are the Order of Aradin?: An army of knights sworn to protect and crush any type of attack.
What are the Net and Essence?: The Net is a clever rp excuse for re-spawning after falling off the island. Essence is the same thing, however it applies to experience.
What previous roleplay experience have you had, if any?:
If you have played on other RP servers, please say which and why you left: Assassins Creep, way to crowded. Era of the Vanguard, owner and his little brother put WAY too much stress on me that soon became one of the reasons why I was sent into therapy. Roleplay Revolution, powergamers.... FellsGlow, current server that I am Head-Admin for (it has not opened yet.)
Character Information
Name: Daniel McCarthy
Age: 25
Class: Ranger
Citizen of the Chancellory or a member of the Medori?: Citizen of the Chancellory.
Physical description: Daniel is of average build to someone who has been in the wild for most of his life. He has long, brown hair that us usually keeps tied up with a piece of string. He is often seen wearing a grey, hooded cloak with a brown hunters outfit underneath. A leather quiver is slung across his back that he usually keeps filled.
Screen capture of your skin: http://imgur.com/86PyiB6 I don't know why, I just find that uploading it to imgur a lot more easier than actually uploading it to here.
Biography: Daniel was a quiet boy in his childhood. Hell, the only one he would really ever talk to was a seemingly close friend of his. To this day, unfortunately, he cannot remember her name. The two grew up in one of the land's many great forests. The two entered training at a somewhat young age. Daniel quickly learned that he was a natural with the bow. He trained relentlessly, despite his skill, pushing himself to the limit in both body and mind. Eventually, he succeeded.
A few years later, Daniel and his friend set off into the world to find adventure, and a job of a sort. They traveled across the land, encountering bandits, wolves, occasional drunken soldiers and strange sightings neither of them really understood. The two noticed change in each other as well. Daniel found himself becoming to grow more comfortable around his friend and eventually grew more open with her. Their trust for each other was (in their eyes) unmatched by anyone else. In fact, it was almost like they were siblings.
Months later, they found themselves in a tavern in some small town in the middle of nowhere. The two were going over a map, trying to figure out where they were. A crash rose from behind them and Daniel turned to see an abnormally large man rise from a table behind them. The man was obviously drunk; the smell of ale grew with each breath. He locked his eyes on the two wanderers and walked up to them. He demanded a payment for their being there, since it was supposed to be a guard-only tavern. The two tried to reason with the man, but only drew the attention of a group of guards nearby. The guards listened to the drunk and made a wild grab for the two. The next couple of hours remain a blur to Daniel. All he could remember is escaping into an alleyway, without his friend. He searched for her for months, but to no avail. He slowly gathered his things and set out to the next city, praying that they might be reunited again.
What is your character’s main goal?: Survive? Just get by with an existence of some kind. (That was a lot less dark in my head...)
Strengths: Bows, knives, and isolation. "What can I say, I prefer to keep to myself."
Weaknesses: Magic, swords, considerably heavy objects, heights, and people. He also has an unnatural attraction to getting drunk with what little friends he has. Most happenings he regrets after waking up with the the massive hangover he acquires.
Does your character have any connections to currently-existing characters or characters yet to be accepted? If so, which?: Since this is my first application, I would have to say no.
In-Character-Responses
Walking down the streets of the Capitol, you encounter a pair of heavily armed and armored men harassing a young girl.
Daniel takes notice of the scene and recognizes the girl as a close friend of his. He approaches the two guards asking them why they are harassing the girl. "Now that's where it gets slightly tricky, mate. If I could solve the situation in a diplomatic way like my family taught me to, I would have probably lost a few coins. If they refused? Well lets just say I wouldn't be sitting here in prison with a few a few broken ribs and a black eye after beating the living crap out of them if the diplomatic way worked out."
A man approaches you with a proposition - Go to Bloodstone and retrieve something for him, and you will be well rewarded.
Daniel would stare at him for a few moments, trying to see if he is serious or not about the proposition. Then he would instantly start laughing uncontrollably, kindly give the man the finger and ask the next insane sap that he comes across.
You pass an old man lying on the side of the street, begging for food.
"I am a helper, mate." Daniel said as he takes aim at a wild buck. "But I offer them to earn their reward by giving me directions to various places in the town. Such as where the tavern is, or where the market is, or where the- Oh dammit the buck got away."
In a tavern, a slightly inebriated fellow insults your mother.
Daniel glances at the man with a cold stare. Then grabs the bottle in-front of him and smashes it over the man's head, giving him the finger and walking out of the tavern after paying for the drink and bottle.
You take a liking to a beautiful necklace a passing woman wears.
Daniel takes a liking to it, as stated above. However he would usually forget about it a few moments later. "Necklace? What necklace? Am I drunk again?"

Biography (Minimum 400 words. Cannot include loved ones being killed, kidnapped, tortured, or the like, unless you can do it in a non-cliche manner.):
About 4000AR there was a race of advanced high humans, who lived to the far north, on a series of mountains which are now submerged in water. This is where the Azuai Dwelled. Since there was never any more than 50,000 of them at any one time, nobody ever found them and bothered to tell of it. Then after over 3000 years of peace, and carelessness, a natural disaster known as the cataclypse occurred It split open the main mountain, where the democratic members dwelled, and the waters from the great seas came flooding in from the east. In just 2 days, a civilization was destroyed, by a natural event. The few who survived fled the mountains, and headed south, where the land is flat and the other races dwelled. Over thousands of years the remaining Azuai died off, they were not used to the temperatures and creatures living here. But somehow, no more than 50 Azuai, only 3 of which carried pureblood from the ancients survived, to this day.
Howl lives a busy life, in the forest. Chops wood in the day, and keeps his family safe at night with his bow. His mother was the last pureblood Azuai, and his father a normal human. At the age of 12, his mother died after a group of bandits broke into the home, and killed her. His father fled, and has not been seen by him or anyone since then. Howl turned to the bandits, and for 3 years was one of them, killing, stealing and lying his way around the lands.
Howl always had an element of good in him, and it took him 3 years to find it. At the age of 15 and a half, he realised the bad he had done, and fled to the islands, where he resides in the slum. An ex-bandit, and a homeless boy, he has lived on the islands for 3 months now, and life has been fairly simple. He disguised himself as a woodsman, and is rarely seen doing anything else than hanging around random places.
What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation): To start over, and escape from the calamity which was his life.
Strengths (Both physical and personality): Smarter and faster than most others, and can climb virtually anything.
Weaknesses (Both physical and personality. Not knowing how to do something that is outside of your class is not a weakness.

Walking down the streets of the Capitol, you encounter a pair of heavily armed and armoured men harassing a young girl.
Howl looks upon the girl, and feels a spike of dread run down his spine. **Howl stops and looks into the eyes of one of the men, the proceeds to kick him under his chin**
**The other man hits his leg away**
Sensing what a stupid move it was, Howl runs up the wall of a nearby building, as the guards try to pursue him the girl escapes.
A man approaches you with a proposition - Go to Bloodstone and retrieve something for him, and you will be well rewarded.
I will take you up on your offer sir, but first you must tell me my reward if i am to go to such a place
The man looks at him deeply, he heightens his chin and changes his mind
Im sorry, but i cannot tell you what that is.
**Howl then sighs, and proceeds to walk off**
You pass an old man lying on the side of the street, begging for food.
**Howl throws the man a carrot and an apple, which he had in his satchel**
Don't waste these, i killed a bandit for them.
In a tavern, a slightly inebriated fellow insults your mother.
**Howl looks the drunked in the eye, and smashes his face into the table without a word**
Let that be a lesson to you, insulting the dead is a crime worth dying yourself.
**Howl then walks away, as a small amount of blood drips off the side of the table**
You take a liking to a beautiful necklace a passing woman wears.
Thats a lovely necklace you have there, you must have alot of money to afford that!

Biography (Minimum 400 words. Cannot include loved ones being killed, kidnapped, tortured, or the like, unless you can do it in a non-cliche manner.):
Age 2-10
* Flashback to age 2 * " Frosty My boy... Cmere. I have a special treat for you, I promise son that this is the last time we will Go... " * Flash-out * * Flashback to age 4 * " Frost. I have a special Suprise for you. Its your own Wooden pick... One day you will grow up to become a big dwarf..." At the time Frostbeard didnt think much of his Dwarvernish. infact he didnt even care about his own race. he cared about his family and his own well being. * Flashback to age 7 * " Frost! FROST! Look... They found some coal on one of the islands far away. Do you think We will no longer be poor? " " I dont know... Coal isnt worth that much right now... But i am looking forward to having torches in my Cave! " " But its my cave too! " * Flash to age 9 * * The family is celebrating the completion of a 2-year Coal mining contract and Frostbeards father is coming home for awhile. * " I am so giddy with excitement... These past few years have been so good to us. we have had Food on our table and light in our homes. i think The times have gotten better for us " *
Age 10-15
* Flashback to 11 * * The family is taking a trip on a unfamiliar island * " LOOK! THAT CHURCH IS ON FIRE! " " Frost. Stay here! I am going to go look to see if anyone is hurt. " " But... Dad! You must stay with us.... " " No son... i must leave now... Im sorry... I love you all... I will be right back " * The father runs to the church to look for survivors/injured people * * But as soon as the father runs in to the building the area disinigrates. * " FATHER! " " NO! " * The crowd flees leaving frostbeard and his family to watch in awe * " NO... * SOB * NO! " * 5 Minutes later Frostbeard and his family are on a Ship Leaving the harbour fleeing for the nearest island. * Passenger: I lost my home... Passenger2: I lost my wife. Passenger3: I lost my business. Passenger 4: Shutup all of you. I lost everything * sob * * 5 More minutes later the Entire island that the village was on crumbles into oblivion. * (( Think of alderon from Star wars exploding after a shot from the death star.))
Age 13: It has been Two years since the collaspe of the island and the death of his father. The family once more has plunged into poverty and all of the brothers and sisters are doing what they can to help. Frostbeard has been collecting mushrooms in caves and his mother has began farming aswell as his sisters becoming cooks and his brothers dock loaders. Many would say Frostbeard should have been depressed at this point for losing a powerful father figure at this point in his life. But frostbeard is the exact opposite, Frostbeard see's his fathers death as a chance to redeem his family from the depths of poverty.
Age 15: * Frostbeard and his mother have been scavaging through old family records and discover a ancient family seal * " What in Fathers name is that... " " Its the old family seal of the Stoneaters. It is the symbol of a diamond pick, Our family comes from great heritage... However our wealth and fame died long ago when the monsters struck the land and ravaged it like a bear on honey. Your father used to say that our families ancient diamond pick had been hidden in the earth on a island far away. I always thought it was a lie Because diamond hasnt been seen in these parts for Decades. " " What do you mean diamond hasnt been found here for years? " " Industry i guess... It must have mined all the diamonds out back in the 100 Ar - 120 Ar Years. Since then even Iron has been scarce. " " I Guess this seal is just a memory of the past, Forever forgotten and useless and dead. "
Age 20: " Oh no... Here come the pirates again. " " FROSTBEARD. QUICKLY RING THE BELL, WARN THE OTHERS! " * Explosions come roaring into the land. Buildings burn * * The Warning bell tower quickly crumbles and a loud Crack is heard through the island * * Monsters are seen ontop of the Pirate ships. * " Oh no... Something is very... very... Wrong. Quickly Frostbeard grab your cloth armor and grab a shield and sword. We must repel the monsters. " * Frostbeard suits up and wonders how much a cloth armor could actually help him against iron and stone swords aswell as arrows. * * Within A hour the monsters are filling the village. at first count about 1000 of them are seen against the village of about 100. * * Frostbeard is wounded and retreats back to his house fighting. * " Damned. This flesh wound is bad... stupid cloth armor. no wonder im so hurt, cloth cant do squat. " " FROSTBEARD! MOM IS DEAD, Her last dieing words were " By the crack of dawn on the 5th day of the Eigth Centenial The Tomb will crack revealing its treasures. " " But what the hell does that mean? " " I dont know frostbeard, But we must leave Immediatly. " " * The town lies in fire As frostbeard and his brother leave the island. Its infested with Monsters Almost everyone is dead leaving about 500 Monsters left. The pirate airships crashed and left the island a smoking mess. *
Age 24: * It has been 4 years since the destruction of his home island, Frostbeard is emotionally and phyically drained. He has been haunted by dreams of the burning island and lately has been remembering the death of his father more vividly. He is nearly at the suicide point, Almost nothing will bring him back now, Except for the Few words he remembers from his mom. " By the crack of dawn on the 5th day of the Eight centenial the tomb will crack revealing its treasures. * " BROTHER! " " What?!?! Why are you so loud? " " I know what mom means now, The tomb inwhich our family pick is contained in. " " Your mad. I love you but your insane. " " No im not, We must find the tomb. " * A loud booming noise is heard * " What was that... " " I dont know... It doesnt sound good but... We must find out what it is. " * The sun is just lighting up the dark and gloomy sky as frostbeard and his brother step onto their Airship * " My god... What is that... " * Frostbeard and his brother see a bright light shining not too far away. * " We must go to it... " * Frostbeard and his brother fly towards the light with the wind on their side. Soon they arrive at their Home island... Bad memories fill frostbeards mind * " No... What now is happening In the village... " " I dont know... but it doesnt look good " * Frostbeard and his brother land at the site of the light and it is the old Village church to the Sky goddes. * " But why is the light here... " " Look! its the old church... Lets head inside. " * Frostbeard and his brother travel into the church where it is oddly dimly lit. They soon hear the sounds of monsters but also see a crack in the stone floor. * " Look... Is this the tomb perhaps? " " No... It cant be... Mom said it was far far away. " * A bolt of thunder comes out of nowhere and opens up the crack in the floor leading down a stairway. *
Inside the Tomb: * It is dark and dimly lit and there are the sounds of what sounds like abominations. * " Wow.... " " My god... This place has been looted! " * They quickly travel down a dark corridor where they see Bright light eminating from a door. * " It looks slightly tealish... " " You mean Diamond tealish? " " Yeah yeah.... Shuddup " * They open the door and there they see it. The famed and legendary diamond pickaxe awaits them sitting on a pedestal. Unfortunatly for frostbeard it is sorounded by 5 Hulking endermen That are Twice their normal size. * " Frostbeard. You get the Pickaxe. I will draw them away " " NO! " * Quickly frostbeards Brother looks all 5 in the eye and is attacked viciously " * Frostbeard goes for the pickaxe and sees his brother get torn to shreds. * * Just as frostbeard grabs the pickaxe and hurries to his brother, whats left of his brother and the 5 endermen transform into a portal. * * The tomb is quickly filled with monsters as frostbeard grieves for his brother. * " Nooooooooo!!! " " I'm sorry brother... i must leave now... Their is no life for me left in this unforgiving land. Im truly sorry... " * With that frostbeard steps through the portal and lands into a New land... *
Age 25: * Frostbeard has lost everything a month ago. His family, his home, his brother, everything that ever mattered, He is now in a land with the " Chancelor " empire in which he has made some bad impressions trying to get citizenship. He also certainly made any freinds within the Fallen faction, Frostbeard is a outcast... But atleast he is still alive. Frostbeards only thought left is to rebuild the Stoneaters Dynasty and repay his debt to his cowardness for his dead brother.

Do you have any questions about the server or our lore? Yes. Are theyre any other gods Besides Aneria? In my story i say that Aneria has the power to raise the islands. Technicly if she has the power to raise them then she has the power to destroy them Right? And has the Magic of Enchantion been invented/found yet?
Other notes:
Dino42 - Okay, making this short. Your app was very, very bad. Your bio was obviously copied from somewhere else, given that it's in a different font and none of the things mentioned in it are said ANYWHERE in our lore, a few OOC questions were wrong, the Citizen/Medori question is NOT "Yes or No," it is multiple choice, and your ICRs were...just bad. Good luck in finding somewhere else to RP and have a nice day.
winner10 - Dwarves do not exist in our lore, your app overall was incredibly poorly written, and the Citizen/Medori question, for the last time, is MULTIPLE CHOICE. Good luck finding somewhere else, and have a nice day.
I'm a man of few words and many voices.
Then why doesnt it say in the OP a list of races that do not exist within the Skylands? >.< Cant believe i wasted 2 hours of my time writing a bio about a race that doesnt even exist in a land.
And what citizen/fallen question are you referring to?

Character Information
Name: Dahlian
Age: 27
Class: Laborer
Citizen of the Chancellory or a member of the Medori?: Citizen
Physical description: Gangly, tall, some muscle but not much, cargo pants type clothing, a bit dirty/grimy, brown hair, some facial hair but not much
Screen capture of your skin:
Biography (Minimum 400 words. Cannot include loved ones being killed, kidnapped, tortured, or the like, unless you can do it in a non-cliche manner.):
Dahlian was orphaned as a young child (about 6 years of age) due to a freak airship accident involving the semi-death of his merchant parents. They (his parents) were able to throw Dahlian out a small port from their cabin in the airship, where the Net caught him and spat him back out naked on the nearest island. His parents, however, could not fit through the port, and their cabin door had been blocked by rubble. The soon to follow explosion that destroyed the ship also severely injured Dahlian’s parents, and after the Net caught them they were rushed to the nearest medical building. Unfortunately, their wounds were too great, and although the doctors were able to stabilize them, they ended up lapsing into a coma. Dahlian, unable to be taken care of by his parents, had to be fostered away.
Dahlian himself was taken in by a family friend at the docks who had no children of his own, and although the poorer life was new to him, Dahlian soon learned to live with the constant work that was needed in order to pay the rent. Although not as physically strong as the other dock workers, Dahlian was able to apply his love of mechanics to build small contraptions here and there to help him, essentially getting the same amount of work done as the others. Ever since the airship incident, however, Dahlian has viewed mechanics with a little bit more respect, and is wary about accidents that may happen. Hence, he tries to make his contraptions as safe as possible. Granted, this isn’t always possible. For the most part Dahlian has been working at the docks since then. When he came of age, he found his own place to live. He’s made decent wages; enough to live and help support his foster father and help pay for the care of his comatose parents, whose own life savings which have been used to sustain them are slowly dwindling.
Of course, Dahlian also visits his parents often. Those who practice magic have often come to study them, and try to develop ways to help. The medical staff who look after Dahlian's parents tell him that even if they were to regain consciousness, they would be mostly paralized. Therefore, Dahlian wishes to somehow find a way to create mechanical exoskeletons so they can move once again. This is more or less his long term obsession. For this reason, Dahlian hopes to one day be apprenticed to the Great Inventor. He knows this is a long shot, Dahlian being so lowly, but he hopes that if the Great Inventor sees his contraptions he might be interested in further training a young inventor. Dahlian often hangs around areas where the Great Inventor might visit, so he can one day get a chance to talk to him.
What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation): To learn. Specifically about mechanics (redstone). This is so he can create the mechanical exoskeletons his parents need to move.
Strengths (Both physical and personality): High mental capability. Adventurous rather than reserved (could also be a weakness at times). Likes to meet new people, especially those with similar interests. Also is a fairly nice guy at heart, although he doesn’t always show it on the outside.
Weaknesses (Both physical and personality. Not knowing how to do something that is outside of your class is not a weakness. IE not knowing how to use bows and magic, if you are a swordsman.): A bit mischievous; can get him in trouble. Although he likes to meet people, he is also extremely wary of anyone he doesn’t know. Not very strong; overestimates his own strength sometimes.
Does your character have any connections to currently-existing characters or characters yet to be accepted? If so, which? (See “Character Linking Aid”. Please post a link to the topic.): nope
In-Character-Responses (ICRs. For each scenario, write at least a paragraph describing entirely in-character how your character would respond to the situation. Your ICRs will be used to see how well you can RP. Please post them as if in IC chat. An example can be found after this form.)
Walking down the streets of the Capitol, you encounter a pair of heavily armed and armoured men harassing a young girl.
Hey, watcha bunch of guys like you doing picking on someone young like that? Don’t you have higher hopes? C’mere, I can show you where to find better catches. *winks at girl* Whispers to girl: Go on now, before they change their minds. [If the men follow, leads them in a confusing path around town, hoping to lose them]
A man approaches you with a proposition - Go to Bloodstone and retrieve something for him, and you will be well rewarded.
*Warily* What kind of reward are we talking about? [If the reward is good] Hmm… I’ll have to think about it, but probably. I’ll need some backup/guards. You feel like supplying that? [If the reward is bad] Ehhh… maybe another time. There’s something else I need to be doing right now. [If the man is dodgy about the reward] Perhaps… I really don’t want to go without knowing what kind of reward I’ll have; won’t know if it’s worth it, ya know? I’ll think about it, but the answers probably going to be no unless you can provide some sort of force to make sure I’m protected or something like that.
You pass an old man lying on the side of the street, begging for food.
*Looks to both sides of the street to make sure no one is around* Whispers to himself: grumble grumble, I gotta keep an image… guess there’s no one around To the man: Here ya go old fellow *hands him some food/money* I hope you can get by a bit more with that. Breaks my heart to see you sitting there. *sits down next to the man to have a conversation, all the while keeping an eye out for passerbyers that might know him*
In a tavern, a slightly inebriated fellow insults your mother.
Well now, that’s not very nice even if it is true, isn’t it? But whatever man, its drinkin’ time. What about your mother? Whats wrong with her? Or with his? *points* C’mon, what else ya got ta say? *grabs a pint and joins the man at poking fun at random people’s mothers* [Later, after he is probably kicked out of the bar] Well worth it. Definitely well worth it.
You take a liking to a beautiful necklace a passing woman wears.
Excuse me ma’am, is that necklace for sale? If not, do you know where I can find one? I uh… need one for a girlfriend. Yeah, that’s it, a girlfriend. The jeweler at the other side of town? Why thank you, probably would have taken me forever to think of that! *rolls eyes* Oh, sorry, my sarcasm just comes out sometimes… Seriously though, thank you! *waves goodbye*
Do you have any questions about the server or our lore?: nope
Other notes: n/a
A list of races nonexistent in the Skylands would take up.... a LOT of space.
"Citizen of the Chancellery or a member of the Medori?"
The above question is multiple choice. You are either a citizen of the Chancellery or a member of the Medori.
~~~
To all future applicants, please remain on the safe side and use what is explicitly stated in our lore. If dwarves and elves aren't mentioned, assume they do not exist. Of course, Loremasters/GMs/Admins/Whitelisters are always contactable if you think that you have a viable character idea that you'd like to discuss with us. The main point is, stay within our lore unless you have a very thought out reason you shouldn't, and if that is the case, contact a staff member so that you won't waste your time writing an app with unapproved content .
Thanks, and happy roleplaying!
To be honest, The only reason i chose not to pick either citizen or medori is because one of the whitelisters a couple pages ago said Technicly you can be a wild person. Aka Wildsman.
And how else was i supposed to know theyre were no dwarves or mermans or giant hulking stone giants in The skylands?Because it doesn't say that there are any of those races in the OP. It's like gamer suggested, if it doesn't mention an elfen/dwarven/other race in the OP, assume it doesn't exist in lore.
Also, the mermen was kind of obvious... Considering there's no sea and very small bodies of water unfit for any form of sea life besides fish and other non-fictional water creatures.
The uhm... Merman was a joke... Lol...
just to make it clear, i honestly did not copy the bio, the font was meant to make it look cooler :/. As for the other bits, i see my mistakes. I dont think im allowed to try applying again, but then again i dont think this is a server for people re-learning how to Rp.
Sorry for wasting your time, have fun on your server.
I probably shouldn't have tried, back to reality then.
yes
MajorPotato-
Not a bad app, my friend, not bad at all - Especially for a first timer! It would've been nice to have seen dialogue in your ICRs, but they were acceptable as they are. Look forward to seeing you server side!

Do you have a Skype? If so, what is your Skype Name?: Yes I do, however it contains my real name. I would prefer to keep this to myself for now.
Have you read all of the rules, agree to abide by them, and by the decisions of our staff?: Of course. I don't want to get banned on my first day on the server.
What is the definition of “Powergaming”?: This is the aspect of making your character as overpowered as possible. this can range from a variety of elements like instant regeneration and pulling a 105mm Howitzer out of your back pocket.
What is the definition of “Metagaming”?: Metagaming (commonly known as meta) is the usage of "out of character" information "in character." An example would be player A killing player B for being a vampire when in character, player A had no idea player B was of the vampire blood.
What is the definition of “Roleplay”?: Roleplay is... Amazing. Roleplay is the creation of a character that can be based off a person or who a person wants to be. Roleplay is the usage of that character in a story-line server, forum, or event in which the person acts out the character.
Who can use flymod, X-ray and other such clientsided mods?: In lieu of this seemingly obvious question, my response would to be laugh and say "no" after laughing.
When are you allowed to cause the death of another character?: Only when you have a reason to/ a victory in a fight/ fighting in a war/ if the other player agrees.
When are you allowed to speak out of character?: In most servers I have played in, once in a while. This can be used to ask a staff member a question, ask another player a question, or plan an rp with another player.
Have you read the primary server lore of our server and agree to roleplay in accordance with it?: Of course. It wouldn't really make since for me to run around the server with a pip-boy looking for bottle-caps while shooting mutants with a plasma rifle. (I love Fallout.)
Who is allowed to use magic?: Magic based classes that include Mages and Priests.
Who are the Fallen?: Medori. A peaceful people that usually keep away from conflict. They constantly use storytelling to express and expand their culture.
When and how did our current government come to be?: Around 169 A.R. After the Warden rebellion that wiped out a good majority of the Linyera family.
Who are the Order of Aradin?: An army of knights sworn to protect and crush any type of attack.
What are the Net and Essence?: The Net is a clever rp excuse for re-spawning after falling off the island. Essence is the same thing, however it applies to experience.
What previous roleplay experience have you had, if any?:
If you have played on other RP servers, please say which and why you left: Assassins Creep, way to crowded. Era of the Vanguard, owner and his little brother put WAY too much stress on me that soon became one of the reasons why I was sent into therapy. Roleplay Revolution, powergamers.... FellsGlow, current server that I am Head-Admin for (it has not opened yet.)
Character Information
Name: Daniel McCarthy
Age: 25
Class: Ranger
Citizen of the Chancellory or a member of the Medori?: Citizen of the Chancellory.
Physical description: Daniel is of average build to someone who has been in the wild for most of his life. He has long, brown hair that us usually keeps tied up with a piece of string. He is often seen wearing a grey, hooded cloak with a brown hunters outfit underneath. A leather quiver is slung across his back that he usually keeps filled.
Screen capture of your skin: http://imgur.com/86PyiB6 I don't know why, I just find that uploading it to imgur a lot more easier than actually uploading it to here.
Biography: Daniel was a quiet boy in his childhood. Hell, the only one he would really ever talk to was a seemingly close friend of his. To this day, unfortunately, he cannot remember her name. The two grew up in one of the land's many great forests. The two entered training at a somewhat young age. Daniel quickly learned that he was a natural with the bow. He trained relentlessly, despite his skill, pushing himself to the limit in both body and mind. Eventually, he succeeded.
A few years later, Daniel and his friend set off into the world to find adventure, and a job of a sort. They traveled across the land, encountering bandits, wolves, occasional drunken soldiers and strange sightings neither of them really understood. The two noticed change in each other as well. Daniel found himself becoming to grow more comfortable around his friend and eventually grew more open with her. Their trust for each other was (in their eyes) unmatched by anyone else. In fact, it was almost like they were siblings.
Months later, they found themselves in a tavern in some small town in the middle of nowhere. The two were going over a map, trying to figure out where they were. A crash rose from behind them and Daniel turned to see an abnormally large man rise from a table behind them. The man was obviously drunk; the smell of ale grew with each breath. He locked his eyes on the two wanderers and walked up to them. He demanded a payment for their being there, since it was supposed to be a guard-only tavern. The two tried to reason with the man, but only drew the attention of a group of guards nearby. The guards listened to the drunk and made a wild grab for the two. The next couple of hours remain a blur to Daniel. All he could remember is escaping into an alleyway, without his friend. He searched for her for months, but to no avail. He slowly gathered his things and set out to the next city, praying that they might be reunited again.
What is your character’s main goal?: Survive? Just get by with an existence of some kind. (That was a lot less dark in my head...)
Strengths: Bows, knives, and isolation. "What can I say, I prefer to keep to myself."
Weaknesses: Magic, swords, considerably heavy objects, heights, and people. He also has an unnatural attraction to getting drunk with what little friends he has. Most happenings he regrets after waking up with the the massive hangover he acquires.
Does your character have any connections to currently-existing characters or characters yet to be accepted? If so, which?: Since this is my first application, I would have to say no.
In-Character-Responses
Walking down the streets of the Capitol, you encounter a pair of heavily armed and armored men harassing a young girl.
Daniel takes notice of the scene and recognizes the girl as a close friend of his. He approaches the two guards asking them why they are harassing the girl. "Now that's where it gets slightly tricky, mate. If I could solve the situation in a diplomatic way like my family taught me to, I would have probably lost a few coins. If they refused? Well lets just say I wouldn't be sitting here in prison with a few a few broken ribs and a black eye after beating the living crap out of them if the diplomatic way worked out."
A man approaches you with a proposition - Go to Bloodstone and retrieve something for him, and you will be well rewarded.
Daniel would stare at him for a few moments, trying to see if he is serious or not about the proposition. Then he would instantly start laughing uncontrollably, kindly give the man the finger and ask the next insane sap that he comes across.
You pass an old man lying on the side of the street, begging for food.
"I am a helper, mate." Daniel said as he takes aim at a wild buck. "But I offer them to earn their reward by giving me directions to various places in the town. Such as where the tavern is, or where the market is, or where the- Oh dammit the buck got away."
In a tavern, a slightly inebriated fellow insults your mother.
Daniel glances at the man with a cold stare. Then grabs the bottle in-front of him and smashes it over the man's head, giving him the finger and walking out of the tavern after paying for the drink and bottle.
You take a liking to a beautiful necklace a passing woman wears.
Daniel takes a liking to it, as stated above. However he would usually forget about it a few moments later. "Necklace? What necklace? Am I drunk again?"
Do you have any questions about the server or our lore? None at this time.
