TaleGunner - Okay, the app's alright overall, but there are a few big problems. The first big one: You forgot to put your IGN on the app. That would make it kinda hard to whitelist you. Second, your "when to speak out of character" and "Order of Aradin" questions are wrong. Just fix these small things and you should be set. Also, I'm not quite sure if there's an engineer school quite yet. I believe baeshra will be establishing one soon.
Cheddar7 - While the rest of the app was better, I still need MUCH more detailed ICRs.That's the only real problem I have this time around, so just flesh them out and you should be set.
And OlympCoves, zymph will be handling your app, as he is the only whitelister who actually plays a Medori and is much better equipped to grade your app. He should be done very soon after I post this.
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): Tayl.Gunner
Have you read all of the rules, agree to abide by them, and by the decisions of our staff?: Yup
What is the definition of “Powergaming”?: Being overpowered in roleplay by not giving the character the option to respond or doing impossible feats.
What is the definition of “Metagaming”?: using information obtained OOC and applying it to roleplaying
What is the definition of “Roleplay”?: acting out a foreign role and reacting just as the character you are portraying would
Who can use flymod, X-ray and other such clientsided mods?: No one.
When are you allowed to cause the death of another character?: With their permission
When are you allowed to speak out of character?: In the OOC channel, private messaging, and in RP chat with parenthesis surrounding sentence.
Have you read the primary server lore of our server and agree to Roleplay in accordance with it?: Yes
Who is allowed to use magic?: Mages and priests
Who are the Fallen?: Nomadic, superstitious people
When and how did our current government come to be?:The Defeat of the Linyera Monarchy in 167 A.R.
Who are the Order of Aradin?: Protectors of the people from supernatural evils
What are the Net and Essence?: The Net is the barrier that catches anyone who happens to fall and places them on the nearest island. However, material items are lost in the process. Thus, the use of Essence is drawn to allow one to keep their possessions. Essence is supposedly the First Plane's iteration of mana, but doesn't have any other function besides saving items. It is gained by overcoming obstacles in the world.
What previous Roleplay experience have you had, if any?: Two years worth on multiple servers.
If you have played on other RP servers, please say which and why you left:
Battle of Eldaran - Owner was kind of a jerk
Era of the Vanguard - Shut down
FellsGlow - temporarily off
A few more I can't remember, but I left because they were just low in quality.
Character Information
Name: Collin
Age: 23
Class: Laborer
Citizen of the Chancellory or a member of the Medori?: Citizen of the Chancellory
Physical description: Tall, thin, averagely built. Black, short hair, bearded. Wears a black jacket with the sleeves rolled to the elbows and a green undershirt.
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.): Collin was always interested in skyships. Throughout his childhood, the highlight of his day would be watching the titanic fliers at the docks. He would chat with the dockworkers and crew of the incoming flights to learn more about them. His favorite crew members to talk to were the engineers, who could explain much of the internal working of the ships. However, most things the engineers explained to him Collin couldn’t understand. Frustrated with his inability to grasp what the crew members told him, Collin, aged thirteen, turned to books for answers. Every night, Collin would read books on steam engines and their operations. However, as time grew on, Collin became more interested in more subjects than just steam engines. His collection grew to history, fiction, philosophy, and theories of magic. At sixteen years of age, Collin was a very well read boy. At this point, Collin was ready to start working. Collin felt the only fitting play for him to work was the docks, being that he spent much of his time there. He already knew the basics from conversing with the dockworkers, too. He was friendly with most of them, and participated in their gambling games they would play during break. Even with the not-so-well pay that he was offered at the docks, he enjoyed his job because it was one way that he could work with airships without pursuing a career as an engineer or joining a crew as a simple deck hand. Even so, as time grew on, his desire to work on an airship grew as well. When he turned twenty-two, he quit his job at the docks and enlisted in a crew. The crew he joined with was a small freighter company that flew to many different islands to deliver goods. During his time on the ship, he learned many different aspects about skyships and how they work. His job mostly consisted of odds and ends that experienced or specialized members of the crew didn’t have the time to deal with, such as cleaning. Nonetheless, it was a very important learning experience for him. After several months of being a member of the crew, one position stood out remarkably in Collin’s eyes: the engineer. The engineer kept the thing aloft and was, for all intents and purposes, the most important member of the crew. A year after enlisting with the freighter, Collin left to pursue training in being and engineer.
What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation): To become an engineer
Strengths (Both physical and personality): His greatest asset is his mind. He is witty in speech and has a wide plethora of general knowledge. He is also friendly, for the most part. 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): He is quick to anger if he feels he’s been wronged. If he is treated wrong, he’ll never forget and he’ll rarely forgive. His anger also clouds his judgment, and he may do stupid things in a fit of rage. Physically, he is not the most built. He has an acute form of Autism. 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.):

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, come on, stop it,” said Collin.
The big brute of a man nearest to him said in a deep voice, “How ‘bout you stop pokin’ yer head in business ya don’ know anything ‘bout?”
“How ‘bout I not? Listen, she’s just an innocent girl, just stop heckling her!”
Quick as a whip, the man brandished a wooden club and swung it at Collin. Collin attempted to block it with his forearm, but was merely knocked off of his feet by the force of the club. Wielding the club with both hands, the brute brought it down over Collin’s head. When he came to, he woke in a hospital bed.
“Just what I get for doing the right thing,” he said bitterly.
A man approaches you with a proposition - Go to Bloodstone and retrieve something for him, and you will be well rewarded.
“Bloodstone? Are you kidding me? That place is dangerous!” exclaimed Collin.
The Scholar nodded rapidly, “Yes, it is, but I need it for my research! It is very important!”
“Forget it, I’m not risking my neck like that, no matter how much you give me.”
You pass an old man lying on the side of the street, begging for food.
“Please, sir, I need the food! I’ll die out here!” said the older beggar.
Collin took pity on the man. He was dressed in rags and sitting in a filthy alley. He took out his coin purse and handed the old man ten coins.
“I’m sorry I can’t spare any more,” said Collin, sincerely.
In a tavern, a slightly inebriated fellow insults your mother.
“A *****! That’s just what she is!” said the drunkard.
“Right, my mother is the *****, here,” replied Collin, “My mother is the good-for-nothing scum of society that raised a whelp of a son who drinks all his damn money away in a damn tavern!”
The insult took a moment to process through his intoxicated mind.
“You son of a !” cried the drunken man, who charged at him.
Collin was prepared for this. His sober body and mind was faster than his. When the man went to swing, he casually stepped to the left, grabbed his free arm, and twisted it. Then, he took his right leg and forcefully shoved the man to his knees.
“My mother is the *****?” whispered Collin into the man’s ear.
You take a liking to a beautiful necklace a passing woman wears.
Collin casually strode down the street. He was lost in his own thoughts, when a flashing of light brought him back to reality. It came from a beautifully gleaming silver necklace with a sapphire in the center of it.
“My, what a beautiful necklace!” Collin cried to her.
The woman gave him a snotty expression that said “I have better things to do then talk to lowly commoners.”
“What a *****”
Do you have any questions about the server or our lore?: Is there a Navy?

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.):
Lucifer was born into a simple mining community. He was raised by his mother and father in his simple home. When he was young, he idolized his father, who was a bladesman. His father taught him many things about swords, and by the time he was 10, Lucifer was practicing with a sword every day. Lucifer trained for five more years until one day, a mysterious ship came into town. This ship turned out to be a band of bandits and thieves who started to ransack the town. Lucifer instinctively picked up his sword and tried to fight the attackers. He held his ground for a while, but he was eventually knocked out. When he awoke, he was on the mysterious ship. The bandits saw how good he was with a sword, so they took him aboard to train him for their own uses. Lucifer was very reluctant to help, until they reached the next town. When they got there, he tried to escape. He ran straight to the people of the town, trying to explain his story, but they did not listen. Instead, one of the townspeople stabbed him, and yet again, Lucifer lost his consciousness. He proceeded to wake back up on the ship once more.
It was at this point Lucifer realized his fate. He was cursed to stay on this ship of bandits, for if he went anywhere else, he would just be considered a bandit. The next seven years of Lucifer’s life were generally the same thing. They would reach a new town, kill most of the townsfolk and take their things. Eventually, Lucifer got a thrill out of it. Soon enough, he was leading the men ransacking the towns. His life was changed once again when their ship ran into a military ship. It was a fierce battle. Cannons were firing rounds constantly and arrows flew across the gap between the two ships. Then, once the other ship was close enough, Lucifer and a few other bandits jumped across and started to fight the soldiers hand to hand. No one on that ship could best Lucifer. He continued to make his way through the soliders until he reached the helm of the ship, by that time, most were dead. The only man still alive was slowly bleeding out on the side of the ship. He stared right at Lucifer and said “You monster….I hope you burn….” And then he died.
Lucifer couldn’t believe how long it took him to realize this. He had so much blood on his hands, and it was all because of the bandits. As soon as this idea set in, he quickly started the ship and turned it away from the bandits. After sending it forward, he walked down and killed any bandits remaining on the ship. Lucifer decided he needed a new start, some way to clean the blood from his hands. Lucifer decided to head to a new area, where no one would hear of his deeds. He went under the deck and grabbed a large suit of armor to hide himself, and set a course for the Captial. A place where the bandits would not dare to sail. A place where he could start anew.
What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation): To do more right and good things to counter act all the wrong he has done
Strengths (Both physical and personality): Lucifer is strong and can use a sword very well. He keeps to himself mainly which at times is good and bad
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.): Lucifer is constantly worried someone will learn of his past, also, from his days of raiding and pillaging, he was stabbed in the leg a few times so his movement is slower than most.
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.): No

Character Information:
Name: Dwayne Wade
Age: 31
Class: Guard
Physical Description: 6 ft 4, 220 lbs, Harold L. Richards HS nd Marquette College (2000-2003)
Biography:
Dwyane Wade was born on the South Side of Chicago, Illinois to Dwyane, Sr. and Jolinda Wade. He cites one of his older sisters, Tragil, as the individual most responsible for his childhood upbringing and for steering him in the proper direction. His parents divorced and he lived with his father and stepmother in Robbins, Illinois during his childhood. As a child growing up in the Chicago area Wade idolized former Chicago Bulls star Michael Jordan, and has said he patterns his game after him.
Wade attended Harold L. Richards High School in Oak Lawn, playing for the school's varsity basketball team. While he did not acquire much playing time during his second year, his stepbrother, Demetris McDaniel, was the star of the team. Wade grew four inches in the summer before his junior year and saw an increase in playing time, averaging 20.7 points and 7.6 rebounds per game. The following year, Wade averaged 27.0 points and 11.0 rebounds per game while leading his team to a 24–5 record. It advanced to the title game of the Class AA Eisenhower Sectional. During this season he set school records for points (676) and steals (106) in a season. Wade was recruited by only three college basketball teams (Marquette University, Illinois State, and DePaul University) due to academic problems.
College career
Wade chose to play college basketball for Tom Crean at Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. During Wade's freshman year at Marquette, he was ineligible to play with the men's team due to a violation of the NCAA's Proposition 48. Wade sought tutoring to improve his writing skills in order to regain eligibility. When Wade became eligible to play the following year (2001–2002), he led the Golden Eagles in scoring with 17.8 ppg, led the conference in steals at 2.47 per game, and accumulated averages of 6.6 rebounds per game and 3.4 assists per game. Marquette finished with a 26–7 record, the school's best record since the 1993–94 season. In 2002–03, Wade led Marquette in scoring again with 21.5 ppg, and Marquette won the school's first and only Conference USA championship with a 27–6 record. That season Wade led the Golden Eagles to the Final Four, the school's first appearance in the Final Four since winning the 1977 national championship. After the season, he was named to the All-America First Team by the Associated Press; Wade is the first Marquette basketball player since 1978 to do so.
Wade's performance during the Midwest Regional Final of the 2003 NCAA Tournament was highly publicized by the national press. Against heavily favored, top-ranked and top-seeded Kentucky Wildcats, Wade recorded a triple-double with 29 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists. His triple double was the fourth in NCAA Tournament history. Wade's exceptional play helped lead Marquette over the Wildcats 83–69 and into the Final Four; Wade was named MVP of the Midwest Regional. Marquette finished the season ranked No.6 in the AP poll, the school's highest ranking since the 1976–77 season. Wade's strong tournament play resulted in increased visibility in the national media and, consequently, a high draft projection. As a result, he elected to forgo his senior year at Marquette and enter the 2003 NBA draft. On February 3, 2007, almost four years after Wade played in his final collegiate game, Marquette retired his jersey at halftime of a game against Providence. Although Marquette requires student-athletes to graduate prior to receiving jersey retirement honors, the University made a special exception for Wade based on his accomplishments since leaving Marquette.
Before the 2004–05 season Shaquille O'Neal was traded from the Los Angeles Lakers to the Heat. The following season, Miami improved by 17 games, from a 42–40 record in the 2003–04 season to an Eastern Conference-best 59–23 record in the 2004–05 season.[19] The league's coaches selected Wade to be a reserve in the 2005 All-Star Game. He scored 14 points in 24 minutes of play.
In the first round of the 2005 NBA Playoffs, Wade averaged 26.3 points, 8.8 assists, and 6.0 rebounds while maintaining a 50% field-goal percentage[13] as the Heat swept the New Jersey Nets.[20] Wade continued his high level of play in the second round by averaging 31 points, 7 rebounds, and 8 assists per game[13] as the Heat swept the Washington Wizards.[20] The Heat's playoff run was stopped by the Detroit Pistons, the previous season's champions, in 7 games in the Eastern Conference Finals. Wade scored 42 and 36 points in Games 2 and 3 respectively despite playing with sinusitis, the flu, and a knee strain. He also suffered a strained rib muscle in Game 5 of the Conference Finals that prevented him from playing in the series' sixth game[21] and limited him in the seventh. The Heat lost the series in the seventh game despite leading three games to two after the fifth game and holding a lead with three minutes remaining in Game 7.[22]
NBA champion and Finals MVP (2005–06)
Wade at the free throw line
By the 2005–06 season Wade had developed into one of the most prominent players in the NBA and was elected to his second All-Star Game. In the 2006 NBA All-Star Game, Wade made the game winning put-back off of the Philadelphia 76ers' Allen Iverson's missed shot, to lead the East to a 122–120 victory over the West. He scored 20 points on 9/11 field goals in 30 minutes of play.[23] He finished the 2005–06 regular season averaging 27.2 points, 6.7 assists, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.95 steals per game.[12]
Against the Chicago Bulls in the first round of the 2006 NBA Playoffs, Wade shook off a few injuries that scared Heat fans, including a severely bruised hip in Game 5.[24] Returning late in the half, Wade resurrected his team by scoring 15 of his 28 points while suffering from intense pain, leading the Heat to the much-needed 3–2 series lead. After this, Wade successfully led his team to the 2006 NBA Finals, despite suffering from flu-like symptoms in game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Detroit Pistons.[25] He put up a double-double with 14 points and 10 assists in that game, including an 8-point flurry to close out the third quarter that put the game out of reach.[25]
In his first trip to the NBA Finals, in which Miami faced off against the Dallas Mavericks, Wade had some especially memorable moments. His performance in games three, four, and five, in which he scored 42, 36, and 43 points,[26][27] respectively, helped bring the Heat back from a 0–2 deficit to lead the series 3-2. In Game 3 Wade tied his career playoff high with 42 points and grabbed a career high 13 rebounds.[28] 15 of his 42 points came in the fourth quarter, in which the Heat erased a 13-point deficit over the final 6:29 with a 22–7 run which included a go-ahead jumper by NBA veteran Gary Payton that sealed the win.[29] The Heat went on to win Game 6 behind Wade's 36 points, taking the series 4–2, and Wade was presented with the Finals MVP trophy.[30] He became the fifth youngest player in NBA history to capture NBA Finals MVP honors and recorded the third highest scoring average by a player in his first NBA Finals with 34.7 points per game.[13][31] His 33.8 PER in the NBA finals was ranked by ESPN's John Hollinger as the greatest Finals performance since the NBA-ABA merger.[32]
Injuries and missing playoffs (2006–08)
In the 2006–07 season, Wade missed a total of 31 games due to injury. He was elected to his third straight All-Star Game and received All-NBA honors. He became the first guard to earn All-NBA honors after missing at least 31 games in a season since Pete Maravich of the Utah Jazz earned Second Team honors during the 1977–78 season.[13] Despite Wade's play, the Heat struggled early in the season with injuries and were 20–25 on February 1, 2007.[33] But with Shaquille O'Neal healthy and Pat Riley returning to the bench after undergoing hip and knee surgeries,[34] the Heat seemed poised to surge into the second half of the season.[35] However, during a game against the Houston Rockets on February 21, 2007, while attempting to steal the ball from Shane Battier, Wade dislocated his left shoulder and was assisted off the court in a wheelchair.[36] After the injury he was left with the decision to either rehabilitate the shoulder or undergo season-ending surgery.[37] Wade later announced that he would put off the surgery and rehabilitate his shoulder with the intention of rejoining the team in time for the playoffs.[38] After missing 23 games to recover from the injury, Wade returned to the active roster in a game against the Charlotte Bobcats. Sporting a black sleeve to help protect his dislocated left shoulder, Wade played 27 minutes and recorded 12 points and 8 assists, in a 111–103 overtime loss.[39] For the season, Wade averaged 27.4 points, 7.5 assists, 4.7 rebounds, and 2.1 steals per game shooting 50% from the field, and finished the season as the NBA's leader in PER (Player efficiency rating).[40]
In the playoffs, Wade averaged 23.5 points, 6.3 assists, and 4.8 rebounds per game, as the Heat were swept in the first round by the Chicago Bulls.[41] Following the playoffs, Wade underwent a pair of successful surgeries to repair his dislocated left shoulder and left knee. The knee ailment, commonly called "jumper's knee," prevented Wade from joining USA Basketball in the Olympic Qualifying Tournament over the summer.[42]
After missing the Tournament of Americas Olympic Qualifiers over the summer, Miami's eight pre-season games and first seven regular season games to recover from off-season left knee and left shoulder surgeries, Wade made his first appearance of the 2007–08 season on November 14, 2007.[43] Battling pain in his left knee throughout the season,[44] Wade was elected to his fourth consecutive All-Star Game appearance.[45] However, with the Heat holding the worst record in the NBA and Wade still experiencing problems in his left knee, Heat coach Pat Riley announced Wade would miss the final 21 games of the season to undergo OssaTron treatment on his left knee.[46] Wade averaged 24.6 points, 6.9 assists, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.7 steals per game for the season.[40]
Scoring champion and playoff defeats (2008–10)
After undergoing months of rehabilitation on his left knee and helping the U.S. Olympic team win a gold medal at the 2008 Olympics, in which he led the team in scoring, Wade returned to the starting lineup at the start of the 2008–09 season.[47] Early in the season, Wade became the second player in NBA history to tally at least 40 points, 10 assists and five blocked shots in a game since Alvan Adams did so in the 1976–77 season.[48] With a healthy Wade leading the league in scoring and the Heat making a push for a playoff position, Wade was elected to his fifth consecutive All-Star game appearance.[49]
Following the All-Star game, Wade recorded 50 points on 56.6% shooting and added 5 rebounds and 5 assists in a blow-out loss against the Orlando Magic.[50] Wade became the fourth player in NBA history to score at least 50 points while his team lost by at least 20 in a game.[50] The following game, Wade recorded a career-high 16 assists and added 31 points and 7 rebounds in a 103–91 win against the Detroit Pistons.[51] Wade became the second player to record 15 or more assists after scoring at least 50 points since Wilt Chamberlain did so in 1968.[52] Two games later, Wade tied a franchise record with 24 points in the fourth quarter, as he led the Heat back from a 15-point deficit in the final nine minutes of the quarter to secure a 120–115 win over the New York Knicks.[53] For the game, Wade recorded 46 points on 55% field goal shooting, 10 assists, 8 rebounds, 4 steals and 3 blocks.[53] Wade followed the performance with a second-consecutive 40-point game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.[54] Playing against his Eastern Conference rival and good friend, LeBron James, Wade registered 41 points on 53% shooting, 9 assists, 7 steals, 7 rebounds and one block as the Heat lost 107–100.[54] The following game, in former teammate Shaquille O'Neal's return to Miami since being traded, Wade tied a career-high with 16 assists and added 35 points on 62% shooting, 6 rebounds, a steal and a block, as the Heat defeated the Phoenix Suns 135–129.[55] Wade became the only player in Heat history to have multiple games with at least 30 points and 15 assists.[55] Less than a week later, Wade tied his franchise record with his 78th consecutive game of scoring in double figures in a double overtime thriller against the Chicago Bulls, in which he scored the game-winning three-point basket to secure a 130–127 win.[56] Wade finished with 48 points on 71.4% shooting, 12 assists, 6 rebounds, 4 steals and 3 blocks in 50 minutes.[56] Wade joined Wilt Chamberlain as the only other player in NBA history to score that many points and have that many assists in a game, while having as high of a field goal percentage.[57] Two games later, Wade surpassed Alonzo Mourning and became the Heat's all-time leading scorer in a triple overtime classic against the Utah Jazz.[58] Wade finished with 50 points, 10 rebounds, 9 assists, 4 steals, and 2 blocks in a 140–129 win.[58]
During the season, Wade became the first player in NBA history to accumulate at least 2,000 points, 500 assists, 100 steals, and 100 blocks in a season and is the first player of 6 ft. 5 in. or shorter to register at least 100 blocks in a season.[59][60] Wade also became just the fifth player in NBA History to reach 2,000 points, 500 assists, and 150 steals in a season.[61] After a 97–92 win against the Charlotte Bobcats, Wade helped the Heat clinch a playoff berth and become only the second team in NBA History to reach the postseason after winning 15 or fewer games the year before.[62] In a 122–105 win against the New York Knicks, Wade recorded a career high 55 points on 63% field goal shooting and added 9 rebounds and 4 assists.[63] Wade recorded 50 points through three quarters and was pulled out of the game while he was one point shy of eclipsing the franchise record of 56 points set by Glen Rice.[63] For the season, Wade averaged a league high 30.2 points per game, earning his first NBA Scoring Title, and added 7.5 assists, 5.0 rebounds, 2.2 steals, and 1.3 blocks per game.[40] Wade finished the season with higher point, assist, steal and block averages than LeBron James and Kobe Bryant, who both finished ahead of Wade in the MVP race.
On November 1, in just his third game of the 2009–10 season Wade recorded his 10,000th career point in a 95–87 win against the Chicago Bulls.[64] On November 12 against the Cleveland Cavaliers, Wade made a spectacular dunk over Anderson Varejão, considered by many to be one of the greatest of the season until then. LeBron James himself described the dunk as "great, probably top 10 all-time".[65] Two days later against the New Jersey Nets, with the Heat down by two in the final seconds, Wade hit a clutch three-point shot, giving the Heat the win by one point, 81–80.[66] On January 6, Wade scored a season-high 44 points in an overtime loss against the Boston Celtics, the most points scored by a player in a losing effort in the season until that point.[67] On January 21, Wade was selected to play for the East in the 2010 NBA All-Star Game, which was his sixth overall All-Star appearance.[68] Wade was named the game's MVP after recording 28 points, 11 assists, 5 steals and 6 rebounds.[69]
In just his second game back from the All-Star Game on February 17, Wade strained his calf in the first quarter. He left the game with 8 points in 8 minutes of play, ending his personal and also Heat's franchise record streak of 148 consecutive games with at least 10 points.[70] On April 2, Wade was named Eastern Conference Player of the Month and Player of the Week twice for his play in the month of March, leading the Heat to a 12–3, the team's best record since March 2006. It was his first Player of the Month award of the season and 5th of his career. He averaged 26.9 and 7.5 assists per game, which both ranked third in the Eastern Conference, and 2.3 steals per game, which ranked first. Wade recorded six 30 points games and had six double-doubles in the month, including a season-high 14 assists in an overtime win against the Los Angeles Lakers on March 4.[71]
For the season, Wade averaged 26.6 points on 47.6% field goal shooting, 6.5 assists, 4.8 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 1.1 blocks per game, while leading his team to a 47–35 record, clinching the fifth seed in the NBA Playoffs.[40] In the first round, with the Heat facing a sweep against the Boston Celtics, Wade recorded a career playoff-high and also franchise record 46 points, outscoring the entire Celtics team in the 4th quarter with 19 points versus 15 by Boston.[72] It was also Wade's sixth career playoff game with at least 40 points scored.[40] Despite averaging 33.2 points on 56.4% shooting, 6.8 assists, 5.6 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 1.6 blocks, Wade and the Heat would lose to Boston in five games.[73]
During the off-season, Miami-Dade County commissioners voted unanimously to rename the county "Miami-Wade County" for one week from July 1–7, 2010 in Wade's honor and to try and convince Wade to stay in Miami and sign with the Heat.[74] On July 7, it was announced that Wade would be re-signing with the Miami Heat, along with former Toronto Raptor Chris Bosh.[75] The following day, LeBron James announced he would be joining the Heat to play with Wade and Bosh, causing a stir in the media and among fans.[76] The deals were officially announced on July 10; Bosh and James arrived via sign-and-trade deals.[77] The Heat finished with a 58-24 record in the first year of the Big 3 Era and earned the second seed in the Eastern Conference. For the season, Wade averaged 25.5 points, 6.4 rebounds, 4.6 assists, and 1.5 steals per game, shooting 50% from the field. After defeating the Philadelphia 76ers, Boston Celtics, and Chicago Bulls, the Heat reached the Finals, but lost to the Dallas Mavericks in six games. Wade averaged 26.5 points, 7 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game for the NBA Finals and 24.5 points, 7.1 rebounds and 4.4 for the entire playoffs.[78]
Prior to the beginning of the 2011-12 NBA season, Bosh in 2012 opined Wade should take the last second shot instead of Bosh or James to win or lose a game based off Wade's past success.[79] On February 26, 2012 at the All-Star Game Wade recorded what was only the third triple-double in the history of the contest, posting 24 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, joining Michael Jordan and LeBron James as the only players ever to record the prestigious stat (at the 1997 and 2011 games respectively). On March 10, 2012 Wade made the game-winning shot against the Indiana Pacers to give the Heat a 93–91 overtime win. Wade finished the season averaging 22.1 points, 4.8 assists, 4.6 rebounds, and 1.7 steals per game. In the playoffs, the Heat defeated the New York Knicks in 5 games in the first round, then defeated the Indiana Pacers in 6 games in the second round. Wade heated up in Game 6 of the second round, recording 41 points and 10 rebounds.[80] The Celtics took the Heat to seven games in the Eastern Conference Finals, but the Heat prevailed and advanced to the NBA Finals. They lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 1 of the finals, but won the next four games, and Wade secured his second NBA title. Wade averaged 22.6 points per game in the series. The Heat became the first team in NBA history to win a championship after trailing in three different playoff series.
Before the start of the 2012-13 NBA season, Wade underwent surgery due to a left knee injury. He missed the 2012 Summer Olympics.[81][82] While Wade missed the Heat's first pre-season game against the Atlanta Hawks, he returned in time for the Heat's second pre-season game against the Los Angeles Clippers, which was held at the MasterCard Center in Beijing, China. Miami won the game 94–80.[83][84] On December 26, 2012, during an away game against the Charlotte Bobcats, Wade kicked guard Ramon Sessions in the groin. The following day, Wade was suspended by the NBA for one game.[85]
At the end of the season, the Heat defeated the San Antonio Spurs in the 2013 NBA Finals, giving Wade his third championship.[86]
What is your main goal (Motivation)?: Bion doesn’t know much about what his overall goal is. He is just slowly becoming better at what he enjoys doing the most.
Wade was a member of the 2004 US Olympics team with fellow NBA All-Stars LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony. The team competed in the 2006 FIBA World Championship in Japan, in which Wade averaged 19.3 points per game.[87] The team won a bronze medal, which disappointed many USA fans who had hoped for a return to the days of the original "Dream Team".[88][89] Wade was named to the USA Men's Basketball National Team from 2006 to 2008. He was named co-captain of the 2006 team, along with James and Anthony.[90] In 2007, due to injury, Wade was unable to compete at the Tournament of Americas Olympic Qualifiers, where the United States compiled a 10–0 record and qualified for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China.[91]
At the 2008 Olympics, the United States went unbeaten and earned gold medal honors, defeating the 2006 World Champion Spain in the final game. Wade led the team in scoring throughout the tournament and tallied a game high 27 points in 27 minutes on 75% field goal shooting and added 4 steals, 2 assists and 2 rebounds in the game.[92] For the tournament, he averaged a team high 16 points in 18 minutes on 67% field goal shooting, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 2.3 steals, as the United States lived up to their Redeem Team moniker and captured gold medal honors for the first time since 2000.[92][93]
On June 28, 2012, it was reported that Wade would miss the 2012 Olympics in London because of knee surgery.[94]
Wade plays the shooting guard position, but is also capable of playing point guard. On offense, he has established himself as one of the quickest and most difficult players to guard in the NBA. Wade's signature one-two step allows him to dash past bigger defenders and occasionally get the extra foul shot.[95] Wade is able to get to the free throw line consistently; he ranked first in free-throw attempts per 48 minutes in 2004–05 and again in the 2006–07 season. He has proven himself an unselfish player, averaging 6.1 assists per game throughout his career.[12] After winning the NBA Finals MVP Award in 2006, Wade developed a reputation as one of the premier clutch players in the NBA.[96]
David Thorpe, an athletic trainer who runs a training center for NBA players in the offseason, also cites Wade's developing post up game as one of his strengths.[97] "Watching Wade operate on the left block is literally like watching old footage of MJ (Michael Jordan)," comments Thorpe.[97] Thorpe goes on to say that Wade's best moves from the post are his turnaround jump shot,[97] double pivot,[97] and what Thorpe terms as a "freeze fake",[98] a pump fake Wade uses to get his opponent to jump, so that he can then drive around him to the basket.[98] The main weakness cited in Wade's ability is his lack of three-point range; he has averaged .289 on three-point field goal attempts for his career.[12]
Wade is best known for his ability to convert difficult lay-ups, even after hard mid-air collisions with larger defenders.[95] As crowd pleasing as his high-flying style of basketball may be, some have expressed concerns over the dangers of playing in this manner,[95] as Wade has already hurt his knees and wrists after mid-air collisions with larger players. Wade has also established himself on defense for his ability to block shots and accumulate steals.[99][100]
Strengths: He’s getting better at the sword and bow, his best strength is his self motivation to learn. He’s slightly stronger than the average man, and is training the muscles endurance up.
Weaknesses: none im 2 good
Will your character likely join an existing faction? If so, which? If not, why not?: Yea the heat
ICRs
Walking down the streets of the Capitol, you encounter a pair of heavily armed and armoured men harassing a young girl.
Bion walks by the scene with his head low at first, but stops not being able to force himself by. He turns and walks to the men and stands there staring at them for a moment.
“What do you want?” one of them retorts at Bion as he takes his attention from the young girl.
“If you could leave her alone.” Bion suggests towards the girl with a nod. “That would be just lovely.” The armored man takes a look back at the other man and gives a sly smirk. He then returns a stare that feels like daggers, causing Bion to force down a fearful look. Bion strikes up a hardened look and states.
“I may not have the numbers or equipment on my side, but I’ve been beat down plenty enough to know I can handle it. But I won’t go down without a few jabs and kicks.” it comes easier as he knows that it isn’t complete bull . The two men commence to giving each other considering looks and finally one says.
“We’ve had our fun anyways.. Don’t you go thinking of yourself any higher though.” The two men leave, the girl standing there in a bit of a paralyzed state. Bion lets out a deep breath and glances over to the girl. “I’ll take whatever you can give me.”
“Wha... What?”
“Well my services aren’t exactly free.” She scoffs at him mid sentence and walks away grumbling about the nerve of men. Leaving Bion there with a scowl and a still empty purse.
A man approaches you with a proposition - Go to Bloodstone and retrieve something for him, and you will be well rewarded.
Bion scratches the back of his head and looks over his current situation. He smirks meekly and thoroughly apologizes for being not being on par for such a job.
You pass an old man lying on the side of the street, begging for food.
Passing by the old man, Bion sighs as he stops and passes back just enough so the old man could pick him up some nourishment for the day. He complains at himself for being so soft towards an old beggar.
In a tavern, a slightly inebriated fellow insults your mother.
Bion doesn’t take it too much to heart,and pays for the man’s next drink and takes himself to a rented bed for the night.
You take a liking to a beautiful necklace a passing woman wears.
Bion stares at the necklace, drawing attention to himself for a moment. For some reason he wanted that necklace, but buying it off the woman would be far out of his league.

Character Information
Name: Zack Damasty
Age: 32
Class: Craftsman
Citizen of the Chancellory or a member of the Medori?: Citizen of the Chancellory
Physical description:
Dresses up neat and tidily, unexpected from a well built man in his vocation as a craftsman.
Screen capture of your skin: No skin yet, will find one later.
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.): Money, money, money! Zack learned the importance of money at an early age. Those with money were able to get all the cool toys, those whose parents had money were able to live in big houses. If their parents had more money, their big houses might also have servants in them. Yes life with money looked pretty good for Zack, not that he came from a family that was poor. It was a pretty well to do family with its own thriving business but people always knew only how to look at people with better things than them.
After he got older he found that money was a lot more important. Those with money were able to go to the academy and learn things that will make them more money! It was a never ending cycle whereas Zack was expected to help with the family business. To slave away at a workbench or smithy to make things that the people with money wanted. It was during his first few years working at the family store that Zack's greed turned into envy. He was able to touch all those nice, pretty, shiny things that was ordered for, only to have them given to the owners that paid for them as soon as it was completed.
Eventually Zack couldn't take it anymore and started to work very hard. His family thought that he realized what he needed to do but Zack actually had a reason for this. He wanted to make and save as much money as he could and then get himself into the academy. After that he would be able to learn what he needed in order to make a lot more money then he could have that big house and maybe an airship of his own to look down on the other common folk.
That was a plan. Not really a good plan but a plan that will be as good as it will be for Zack. Now all there was left is to work on it.
What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation): Money, lots of money and then after than, the best money can buy like an airship.
Strengths (Both physical and personality): Zack's greatest strength is that he is driven to accomplish his goals. For that he is willing to do whatever it takes to get what he wants when others might give up long before unless of course there is a risk to his personal well being.
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.): Zack's notable weakness is that he is really greedy. Unless there is something in it for him, he should not be expected to do something for anyone else. Even a moment that could be seen as altruism should be approached with caution as he might have an ulterior motive no one could see.
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.): I don't think so. Might look into that sometime.

Walking down the streets of the Capitol, you encounter a pair of heavily armed and armoured men harassing a young girl.
Zack muses on the state of the Capitol lately if a few thugs can act like that before calling out "I've just called the guards and you bett..." before taking a look to where he came from and shouting out "Hey! They're over here!" Failing that he'll run away and call the guards for real.
A man approaches you with a proposition - Go to Bloodstone and retrieve something for him, and you will be well rewarded. "How well rewarded are we talking about? And whats the risk?" Zack would ask before deciding whether or not the task will be worth it. The answer to the first question will probably be enough to determine his decision though.
You pass an old man lying on the side of the street, begging for food. Passing right by the man Zack will act like he did not notice. His money was his money! Not for handouts.
In a tavern, a slightly inebriated fellow insults your mother. Zack would retort "Oh yeah, then why did you just meet my mom last night? You think I didn't notice that?" before proceeding to insult the man's mother, sister, aunt, grandmother and any female that is related to him.
You take a liking to a beautiful necklace a passing woman wears. Make a quick glance before deciding that getting a necklace like that now would not be worth the price. Once he gets more money that he could Zack can have a lot of necklaces.

Walking down the streets of the Capitol, you encounter a pair of heavily armed and armoured men harassing a young girl . ~ "HEY," Bronn yells. "What'cha doin' to that girl?" "This is none of your business farm boy!" the guards yell back. Bronn continues on his way, troubled. He passes a guard station, and, with a sudden idea, goes inside to report what he saw.
A man approaches you with a proposition - Go to Bloodstone and retrieve something for him, and you will be well rewarded.
~ "S'cuse me sir, but I don't like the way that sounds," Bronn responds. "Oh, believe me, it's perfectly safe," replies the man. Bronn is obviously thinking hard. "Um, uh, maybe another time mister, I'm a little busy right now," Says Bronn, who procedes to walk away.
You pass an old man lying on the side of the street, begging for food.
~"Change for the poor, sir?" the beggar asks. "Oh, um, I don't have much in the way of money, but I have a few bits of food, apple?"
The beggar greedily takes the apple, and thanks Bronn. "No problem, sir, you have a nice day," Bronn continues down the path.
In a tavern, a slightly inebriated fellow insults your mother. ~"Oi, farm boy, did you know, your mother is a pig?" jests the man. "Sir, my mother is a normal woman, and not a pig, I assure you," Bronn replies, rather amused. This angers the man, so he takes another swig of his drink, and swaggers up to Bronn. "Oi, I don't like your face," says the man, a bit of spittle landing on Bronns face. "Sorry, sir, but I like my face just fine," replies Bronn, who, sensing danger, leaves the bar.
You take a liking to a beautiful necklace a passing woman wears. ~Bronn would tell the woman what a nice necklace she has, and thinking much more of it.
Do you have any questions about the server or our lore? Nope.
Other notes: Sorry that I didn't finish this before it posted.
Omnitrix- Your app was great, there was just one thing that I have to defer you for. Your character will need a physical weakness. Perhaps make him slower than average, have him get fatigued easy, make him a little weak, or just say that he has no fighting ability. You could also give him a blind eye, a bum leg, etc.
I'm sure you won't have any problem thinking of a way to give your character a weakness. Anyway, look forward to seeing you in TAC.
AmixTheory- Alrighty. Your app was very close to a reject, seeing how your bio wasn't even close to 400 words (You only had 143). A lot of the times, this leads to rejection, seeing as it says specifically in the app "Make this 400 words long." However, since you had some trouble with posting your app straight away without finishing, I can't be sure if this was just a mistake and you forgot you weren't done with the bio, or just lazy. If 400 words is too much, atleast try and get it close, 350 is the lowest I'd accept.
Also, being short is not a physical weakness. Give him a real one, fast on his feet but not very strong, or strong but not very fast. Or, make him weak and slow, forcing your character to stay back and pick people off with his bow. Heck, you could even have him get fatigued easily. Or.. Give him a bum leg, a blind eye, etc. You can figure something out. Just find a way to gimp Bronn.
Also, "Real Life Age: Kyle" I laughed way to hard at that. Anyway, I'm guessing you just mistook the word "Age" for "Name", or something along those lines. It's no big problem, everyone derps like that every once in a while. If it was intentional and you're really just "Kyle" years old.. Well.. *cough*, Let's just not go there. If you're not comfortable sharing you age with us, it's fine to just say 'not telling.' Or you could just make something up, we wouldn't have a way of knowing, that's the nice thing about the internet.
Anyway, please fix these up if you can, and you'll be accepted into TAC. Good luck!
does being physically average count as a weakness? Because it seems from what you've shown there you define weakness as being injured/maimed in some way. definitely not something I want lol
@ "Perhaps make him slower (on his feet) than average, have him get fatigued easy, make him a little weak (body strength), or just say that he has no fighting ability. You could also give him a blind eye, a bum leg, etc."
I've listed plenty of things you could do right there. Just trade strength for speed, or vice versa. Have him get fatigued easily. Or, you can give him a physical injury/maim him. There are more options then just maiming him. I've listed them pretty cleary, I think. You could just say he's horrible in combat. That'd be good enough.
Also, no, being "physically average" is not a weakness. I'm not sure why it would be. It'd just be average (not gonna mention all the different ideas of what 'average' is).
Hmmm ok. Going for weaknesses I'd say that because he has focused too much on making money in non "dangerous" ways (you know what I mean :P) he has a pretty slow reaction time to dangers unless he is already aware and prepared for them or someone is around to point it out for him.

Those aren't weaknesses. The reaction time thing.. That happens to everyone. The only way he could be slower if he was blind, deaf, or had some form of mental retardation (or all three). It'd be much easier to gimp your character the ways I've listed. Also, please, repost a copy of your app next time. This counts as a deferral. One more shot, make it count (Honestly, you could pick a weakness right off the list of weaknesses I gave you :L I'd hate to have to reject you over something so small).

NitaiPieman - Actually a pretty good app, I only have a few qualms with it. One, I'd like a bit more of your character's life story, just a bit more detail. Second, a bit better weaknesses; your weaknesses described appear to just be normal human reactions to atrocities. I'd also like it if you could at least get a temporary skin until you have a personal one made. Fix these things and you should be ready to go. Good luck!

Character Information
Name: Blight
Age: 21
Class: Craftsman
Citizen of the Chancellory or a member of the Medori?: Citizen of the Chancellory
Physical description: Medium height, thick brown hair, brown eyes, wears a white shirt, a black vest with some black pants, and some boots.
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-cliché manner.):
Blight was named because his mother died in childbirth, and left to live with a neglectful and bitter alcoholic of a father that never quite moved on from his wife's death. During his childhood, Blight lived in the slums, and made friends with the neighborhood boys, most of whom enjoyed the classic, urban pastime of pickpocketing or otherwise stopping adults in the streets and shaking them down for coin. While others attended church, Blight and his friends were fooling around, taking advantage of their absence. More than once, this landed young Blight into trouble with the guards, and as he descended into his early adolescence, his already mischievous behavior evolved into the daring and bold, if not foolhardy. Often pursuing girls, and sometimes older women, Blight became a notorious for his outrageous flirting, as well as his hasty getaways once angry husbands and significant others arrived on the scene; fists raised in fury. When he wasn't having fun on his misadventures, he was working odd jobs usually involving labor or delivery. By the time he was eighteen, Blight had learned enough life skills to be self-sufficient, which was put to good use when his father finally wasted away and died in his sleep.
His father's passing had an unexpected effect: Blight began to want more in life, and for the first time, he began to make an honest effort towards attaining that. Having outgrown pickpocketing, and knowing very well that his current income would not support him, Blight began to scour the city for a trade to make a living off of. His first efforts at gaining an apprenticeship were met with failure, as his would-be masters never forgot how Blight had shamelessly pursued their wives, sisters, and daughters; most of which were already spoken for. While Blight had some skill with weaponry and combat, the guards and mercenaries also rejected him, having never forgotten how Blight and his posse of young pickpockets had either made fools of them or outclassed them while they were still green and unskilled. Feeling hopeless for the first time, Blight made his way to a local bar, where he intended to drown his sorrows and possibly accept that he may very well share his father's fate. It was then that the bartender began talking to him, having noticed his dejected and miserable appearance. At first, Blight rejected the man's sympathies, telling him to mind his own business. It was then that the bartender served Blight an elixir, and explained that a bartender doesn't just serve drinks, he manages their troubles. The bartender continued to explain by comparing his job to that of a doctor by saying that both were jobs where betraying your client is absolutely forbidden, but the difference was that while a doctor tended to your body, a bartender tended to your spirit. Blight didn't really understand; he wasn't a romantic, but the bartender's words made sense. Now that he looked around him, the patrons clearly had their troubles, but their spirits were high, and not because of the alcohol. Their troubles were differing in degree, but in the end, it was all the same. Life was filled with trouble, and trying to stay out of it your whole life would be a full-time job. But they weren't complaining. That's when Blight knew what he wanted to do: be a bartender. He'd listen to the troubles of his patrons, and quell their illusions and fears by reminding them that there's always a place where everybody knew their name. They were among friends. With a fleeting feeling of newfound confidence and self-esteem, Blight broke into song that soon turned into a chorus of merriment as the patrons and the bartender joined in:
"It's stroke of nine on a Saturday; the regular mob's strollin' in. There's an old man sitting next to me, drowing out his sorrows and sins."
"He says 'Lad, can you sing me a memory? I cannot recall how it goes, but it's bittersweet, and I knew it complete. When I wore a younger man's clothes..."
"Nah-de-dada, dede-dada, Na-de-dada-dede-da, Nah-dada, Nah, Da, Da"
"Sing us a song, you're the Fiddler Man! Sing us, a song, tonight! Our spirits are high, out of devils reach, so let's all have a good time!"
Blight didn't get too drunk, which was good. He wanted to commit that night to memory for the rest of his life. He knew what he wanted, and how to get it. Recently, he heard that the famed Acadamy was reopening. Blight smiled; the path was literally laying itself out for him, and you didn't need a Primary Degree to connect the dots. His next step would be to get precisely that, and a secondary degree in Alchemy. Then, he'd be able to brew the potions and elixirs that would raise the spirits of the troubled, just like that night he so treasured. His smile grew even broader: He couldn't wait to get started.
What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation): Blight's goal is to become a true bartender, in the sense of tending to the well beings and establishing trust between himself, and his would-be patrons. He views the job as a way to truly live life, as well as to escape the fate of fading into obscurity like his father.
Strengths (Both physical and personality): Blight is no stranger to fistfights, although he prefers not to engage in violence if he can help it. Although he no longer picks pockets and locks for a living, Blight still hasn't lost his uncanny ability to talk his way in and out of any situation, as well as being able to navigate through the city's rooftops and ground. In the last 2-3 years, he's improved on his reading and writing in preparation for attending the Academy. He also has limited knowledge of brewing; something he plans to expand upon.
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.): While Blight might be street smart, he is somewhat cocky and obnoxious. He still hasn't broken his old habit of flirting outrageously with women, (He's been slapped in the face so many times that he's built up a tolerance) which tends to get him into trouble. Also, the guards still haven't forgotten Blight's childhood escapades, and they pay extra scrutiny towards him in particular. This could be quite hazardous to Blight's health, seeing as how they're trained to use powerful weapons and move in durable armor, while he isn't. You might feel inclined to believe he's an arrogant fraker, but let's be honest: personalities like Blights break the tension, meaning without him, you'd be a very stiff stick-in-the-mud.
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.): None
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.
"And what are you fine gentlemen up to today?" Blight asks while carrying a concealed Potion of Blindness; for emergencies only, of course. "None of your bloody frakin' business. Now shove off!" One of them says, turning his head for a moment before resuming his harassment. "Do your mothers know you're out of the house?" That got their attention. "No one talks to us like that!" The first man said, brandishing a knife. "Now we're going to have some fun with you..." Said his partner. "Let's put a smile on that face, eh?" As the two men began to leer forward, Blight made his move. Taking the potion, he splashed its blinding contents in both their eyes. As they screeched and cursed in pain, Blight turned towards the cowering and frightened girl. "Get out of here!" He shouted. She nodded, and made for the nearest alleyway. Blight then took the opportunity to escape; those men would be blind for long. By the time they regained their sight, both he and the girl would be gone.
A man approaches you with a proposition - Go to Bloodstone and retrieve something for him, and you will be well rewarded.
Blight raised an eyebrow, but smirked all the same. "I've got a counter-proposal. You find me a fit lady that'll take me to dinner, and I'll treat you to drinks at the tavern, what do you say?" Blight asked. The man scowled. "You know what? Forget I asked. Just shove off!" Blight walked away from the man, laughing at his own wit and the audacity of the man's offer. Go to Bloodstone... Please. You didn't need the temptation of a reward to go there, just a death wish. Seeing as how Blight was still not a bartender, he couldn't risk his life; not before he attained his life's dream.
You pass an old man lying on the side of the street, begging for food.
Blight sighs. The pitiful sight of this old man is enough to remind him of his late father. He takes out his wallet, looking for something to give. Nothing. Sighing, Blight makes his apologies and begins to walk away when the old man warns him never to let his situation become as dire as the old man's. After an awkward silence, Blight continues on his way. He suddenly feels incentive to study harder. Blight can't fail to become a bartender.
In a tavern, a slightly inebriated fellow insults your mother.
Blight shatters the big end of his bottle on a table, leaving only the handle, now easily a poor man's blade. He walks over to the offender, intending to teach the man a lesson they certainly don't at the Academy. When Blight stops walking, he's close enough to smell the man's breath. After smelling alcohol, Blight sighs, and calmly asks how much he's had to drink. The man replies with a slur of more curses and insults, which hardly register themselves in Blight's mind. Realizing that he's not worth it, Blight turns around and leaves, reprimanding himself not to make that mistake again if he wants to be a bartender.
You take a liking to a beautiful necklace a passing woman wears.
The necklace was pretty, but not as pretty as the lady herself. Putting on his best face, Blight walked over to the lady, and asked where she acquired the necklace. She gives him the location of the shop, and is about to be on her way when Blight stops her again, complements her appearance, and asks her to dinner. Three seconds later, Blight is walking away, still smirking despite the hand imprint on his cheek. A couple of bystanders laughed at Blight's face, and he promptly told them to bury their heads.

Character Information
Name: Zack Damasty
Age: 32
Class: Craftsman
Citizen of the Chancellory or a member of the Medori?: Citizen of the Chancellory
Physical description:
Dresses up neat and tidily, unexpected from a well built man in his vocation as a craftsman.
Screen capture of your skin: No skin yet, will find one later.
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.): Money, money, money! Zack learned the importance of money at an early age. Those with money were able to get all the cool toys, those whose parents had money were able to live in big houses. If their parents had more money, their big houses might also have servants in them. Yes life with money looked pretty good for Zack, not that he came from a family that was poor. It was a pretty well to do family with its own thriving business but people always knew only how to look at people with better things than them.
After he got older he found that money was a lot more important. Those with money were able to go to the academy and learn things that will make them more money! It was a never ending cycle whereas Zack was expected to help with the family business. To slave away at a workbench or smithy to make things that the people with money wanted. It was during his first few years working at the family store that Zack's greed turned into envy. He was able to touch all those nice, pretty, shiny things that was ordered for, only to have them given to the owners that paid for them as soon as it was completed.
Eventually Zack couldn't take it anymore and started to work very hard. His family thought that he realized what he needed to do but Zack actually had a reason for this. He wanted to make and save as much money as he could and then get himself into the academy. After that he would be able to learn what he needed in order to make a lot more money then he could have that big house and maybe an airship of his own to look down on the other common folk.
That was a plan. Not really a good plan but a plan that will be as good as it will be for Zack. Now all there was left is to work on it.
What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation): Money, lots of money and then after than, the best money can buy like an airship.
Strengths (Both physical and personality): Zack's greatest strength is that he is driven to accomplish his goals. For that he is willing to do whatever it takes to get what he wants when others might give up long before unless of course there is a risk to his personal well being.
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.): Zack's notable weakness is that he is really greedy. Unless there is something in it for him, he should not be expected to do something for anyone else. Even a moment that could be seen as altruism should be approached with caution as he might have an ulterior motive no one could see. Also compared to the average person he is slower both in terms of speed and reactions having been pursuing his money in a more sheltered method.
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.): I don't think so. Might look into that sometime.
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.
Zack muses on the state of the Capitol lately if a few thugs can act like that before calling out "I've just called the guards and you bett..." before taking a look to where he came from and shouting out "Hey! They're over here!" Failing that he'll run away and call the guards for real.
A man approaches you with a proposition - Go to Bloodstone and retrieve something for him, and you will be well rewarded. "How well rewarded are we talking about? And whats the risk?" Zack would ask before deciding whether or not the task will be worth it. The answer to the first question will probably be enough to determine his decision though.
You pass an old man lying on the side of the street, begging for food. Passing right by the man Zack will act like he did not notice. His money was his money! Not for handouts.
In a tavern, a slightly inebriated fellow insults your mother. Zack would retort "Oh yeah, then why did you just meet my mom last night? You think I didn't notice that?" before proceeding to insult the man's mother, sister, aunt, grandmother and any female that is related to him.
You take a liking to a beautiful necklace a passing woman wears. Make a quick glance before deciding that getting a necklace like that now would not be worth the price. Once he gets more money that he could Zack can have a lot of necklaces.
Do you have any questions about the server or our lore? I think I might try to go Alchemist later on so for future reference, how hard would it be to get the materials to craft the potions? Because in some servers its either hard or close to impossible and others try to make it a little easier.
Other notes:
Well people whether trained in combat or not are pretty alert (or paranoid) hence why what I proposed could count as a weakness. As a matter of principle I don't like forcing weaknesses on like this just for the sake of gimping (hence why there is no fantastic strength to him either) because it has no meaning whatsoever but if I have to take something from that limited list then slower than average, which is still actually more or less the same.
TaleGunner - Okay, the app's alright overall, but there are a few big problems. The first big one: You forgot to put your IGN on the app. That would make it kinda hard to whitelist you. Second, your "when to speak out of character" and "Order of Aradin" questions are wrong. Just fix these small things and you should be set. Also, I'm not quite sure if there's an engineer school quite yet. I believe baeshra will be establishing one soon.
Cheddar7 - While the rest of the app was better, I still need MUCH more detailed ICRs.That's the only real problem I have this time around, so just flesh them out and you should be set.
And OlympCoves, zymph will be handling your app, as he is the only whitelister who actually plays a Medori and is much better equipped to grade your app. He should be done very soon after I post this.
I'm a man of few words and many voices.

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.):
Collin was always interested in skyships. Throughout his childhood, the highlight of his day would be watching the titanic fliers at the docks. He would chat with the dockworkers and crew of the incoming flights to learn more about them. His favorite crew members to talk to were the engineers, who could explain much of the internal working of the ships. However, most things the engineers explained to him Collin couldn’t understand. Frustrated with his inability to grasp what the crew members told him, Collin, aged thirteen, turned to books for answers. Every night, Collin would read books on steam engines and their operations. However, as time grew on, Collin became more interested in more subjects than just steam engines. His collection grew to history, fiction, philosophy, and theories of magic. At sixteen years of age, Collin was a very well read boy.
At this point, Collin was ready to start working. Collin felt the only fitting play for him to work was the docks, being that he spent much of his time there. He already knew the basics from conversing with the dockworkers, too. He was friendly with most of them, and participated in their gambling games they would play during break. Even with the not-so-well pay that he was offered at the docks, he enjoyed his job because it was one way that he could work with airships without pursuing a career as an engineer or joining a crew as a simple deck hand. Even so, as time grew on, his desire to work on an airship grew as well. When he turned twenty-two, he quit his job at the docks and enlisted in a crew.
The crew he joined with was a small freighter company that flew to many different islands to deliver goods. During his time on the ship, he learned many different aspects about skyships and how they work. His job mostly consisted of odds and ends that experienced or specialized members of the crew didn’t have the time to deal with, such as cleaning. Nonetheless, it was a very important learning experience for him. After several months of being a member of the crew, one position stood out remarkably in Collin’s eyes: the engineer. The engineer kept the thing aloft and was, for all intents and purposes, the most important member of the crew.
A year after enlisting with the freighter, Collin left to pursue training in being and engineer.
What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation): To become an engineer
Strengths (Both physical and personality): His greatest asset is his mind. He is witty in speech and has a wide plethora of general knowledge. He is also friendly, for the most part.
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): He is quick to anger if he feels he’s been wronged. If he is treated wrong, he’ll never forget and he’ll rarely forgive. His anger also clouds his judgment, and he may do stupid things in a fit of rage. Physically, he is not the most built. He has an acute form of Autism.

Walking down the streets of the Capitol, you encounter a pair of heavily armed and armoured men harassing a young girl.
“Hey, come on, stop it,” said Collin.
The big brute of a man nearest to him said in a deep voice, “How ‘bout you stop pokin’ yer head in business ya don’ know anything ‘bout?”
“How ‘bout I not? Listen, she’s just an innocent girl, just stop heckling her!”
Quick as a whip, the man brandished a wooden club and swung it at Collin. Collin attempted to block it with his forearm, but was merely knocked off of his feet by the force of the club. Wielding the club with both hands, the brute brought it down over Collin’s head. When he came to, he woke in a hospital bed.
“Just what I get for doing the right thing,” he said bitterly.
A man approaches you with a proposition - Go to Bloodstone and retrieve something for him, and you will be well rewarded.
“Bloodstone? Are you kidding me? That place is dangerous!” exclaimed Collin.
The Scholar nodded rapidly, “Yes, it is, but I need it for my research! It is very important!”
“Forget it, I’m not risking my neck like that, no matter how much you give me.”
You pass an old man lying on the side of the street, begging for food.
“Please, sir, I need the food! I’ll die out here!” said the older beggar.
Collin took pity on the man. He was dressed in rags and sitting in a filthy alley. He took out his coin purse and handed the old man ten coins.
“I’m sorry I can’t spare any more,” said Collin, sincerely.
In a tavern, a slightly inebriated fellow insults your mother.
“A *****! That’s just what she is!” said the drunkard.
“Right, my mother is the *****, here,” replied Collin, “My mother is the good-for-nothing scum of society that raised a whelp of a son who drinks all his damn money away in a damn tavern!”
The insult took a moment to process through his intoxicated mind.
“You son of a !” cried the drunken man, who charged at him.
Collin was prepared for this. His sober body and mind was faster than his. When the man went to swing, he casually stepped to the left, grabbed his free arm, and twisted it. Then, he took his right leg and forcefully shoved the man to his knees.
“My mother is the *****?” whispered Collin into the man’s ear.
You take a liking to a beautiful necklace a passing woman wears.
Collin casually strode down the street. He was lost in his own thoughts, when a flashing of light brought him back to reality. It came from a beautifully gleaming silver necklace with a sapphire in the center of it.
“My, what a beautiful necklace!” Collin cried to her.
The woman gave him a snotty expression that said “I have better things to do then talk to lowly commoners.”
“What a *****”

Character Information
Name: Lucifer
Age: 21
Class: Bladesman
Citizen of the Chancellory or a member of the Medori?: Chancellory
Physical description: Lucifer is 6 feet and 2 inches tall, and is constantly wearing a big suit of black armor.
Screen capture of your skin: http://www.minershoe...913503131352338
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.):
Lucifer was born into a simple mining community. He was raised by his mother and father in his simple home. When he was young, he idolized his father, who was a bladesman. His father taught him many things about swords, and by the time he was 10, Lucifer was practicing with a sword every day. Lucifer trained for five more years until one day, a mysterious ship came into town. This ship turned out to be a band of bandits and thieves who started to ransack the town. Lucifer instinctively picked up his sword and tried to fight the attackers. He held his ground for a while, but he was eventually knocked out. When he awoke, he was on the mysterious ship. The bandits saw how good he was with a sword, so they took him aboard to train him for their own uses. Lucifer was very reluctant to help, until they reached the next town. When they got there, he tried to escape. He ran straight to the people of the town, trying to explain his story, but they did not listen. Instead, one of the townspeople stabbed him, and yet again, Lucifer lost his consciousness. He proceeded to wake back up on the ship once more.
It was at this point Lucifer realized his fate. He was cursed to stay on this ship of bandits, for if he went anywhere else, he would just be considered a bandit. The next seven years of Lucifer’s life were generally the same thing. They would reach a new town, kill most of the townsfolk and take their things. Eventually, Lucifer got a thrill out of it. Soon enough, he was leading the men ransacking the towns. His life was changed once again when their ship ran into a military ship. It was a fierce battle. Cannons were firing rounds constantly and arrows flew across the gap between the two ships. Then, once the other ship was close enough, Lucifer and a few other bandits jumped across and started to fight the soldiers hand to hand. No one on that ship could best Lucifer. He continued to make his way through the soliders until he reached the helm of the ship, by that time, most were dead. The only man still alive was slowly bleeding out on the side of the ship. He stared right at Lucifer and said “You monster….I hope you burn….” And then he died.
Lucifer couldn’t believe how long it took him to realize this. He had so much blood on his hands, and it was all because of the bandits. As soon as this idea set in, he quickly started the ship and turned it away from the bandits. After sending it forward, he walked down and killed any bandits remaining on the ship. Lucifer decided he needed a new start, some way to clean the blood from his hands. Lucifer decided to head to a new area, where no one would hear of his deeds. He went under the deck and grabbed a large suit of armor to hide himself, and set a course for the Captial. A place where the bandits would not dare to sail. A place where he could start anew.
What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation): To do more right and good things to counter act all the wrong he has done
Strengths (Both physical and personality): Lucifer is strong and can use a sword very well. He keeps to himself mainly which at times is good and bad
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.): Lucifer is constantly worried someone will learn of his past, also, from his days of raiding and pillaging, he was stabbed in the leg a few times so his movement is slower than most.

Character Information:
Name: Dwayne Wade
Age: 31
Class: Guard
Physical Description: 6 ft 4, 220 lbs, Harold L. Richards HS nd Marquette College (2000-2003)
Biography:
Dwyane Wade was born on the South Side of Chicago, Illinois to Dwyane, Sr. and Jolinda Wade. He cites one of his older sisters, Tragil, as the individual most responsible for his childhood upbringing and for steering him in the proper direction. His parents divorced and he lived with his father and stepmother in Robbins, Illinois during his childhood. As a child growing up in the Chicago area Wade idolized former Chicago Bulls star Michael Jordan, and has said he patterns his game after him.
Wade attended Harold L. Richards High School in Oak Lawn, playing for the school's varsity basketball team. While he did not acquire much playing time during his second year, his stepbrother, Demetris McDaniel, was the star of the team. Wade grew four inches in the summer before his junior year and saw an increase in playing time, averaging 20.7 points and 7.6 rebounds per game. The following year, Wade averaged 27.0 points and 11.0 rebounds per game while leading his team to a 24–5 record. It advanced to the title game of the Class AA Eisenhower Sectional. During this season he set school records for points (676) and steals (106) in a season. Wade was recruited by only three college basketball teams (Marquette University, Illinois State, and DePaul University) due to academic problems.
College career
Wade chose to play college basketball for Tom Crean at Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. During Wade's freshman year at Marquette, he was ineligible to play with the men's team due to a violation of the NCAA's Proposition 48. Wade sought tutoring to improve his writing skills in order to regain eligibility. When Wade became eligible to play the following year (2001–2002), he led the Golden Eagles in scoring with 17.8 ppg, led the conference in steals at 2.47 per game, and accumulated averages of 6.6 rebounds per game and 3.4 assists per game. Marquette finished with a 26–7 record, the school's best record since the 1993–94 season. In 2002–03, Wade led Marquette in scoring again with 21.5 ppg, and Marquette won the school's first and only Conference USA championship with a 27–6 record. That season Wade led the Golden Eagles to the Final Four, the school's first appearance in the Final Four since winning the 1977 national championship. After the season, he was named to the All-America First Team by the Associated Press; Wade is the first Marquette basketball player since 1978 to do so.
Wade's performance during the Midwest Regional Final of the 2003 NCAA Tournament was highly publicized by the national press. Against heavily favored, top-ranked and top-seeded Kentucky Wildcats, Wade recorded a triple-double with 29 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists. His triple double was the fourth in NCAA Tournament history. Wade's exceptional play helped lead Marquette over the Wildcats 83–69 and into the Final Four; Wade was named MVP of the Midwest Regional. Marquette finished the season ranked No.6 in the AP poll, the school's highest ranking since the 1976–77 season. Wade's strong tournament play resulted in increased visibility in the national media and, consequently, a high draft projection. As a result, he elected to forgo his senior year at Marquette and enter the 2003 NBA draft. On February 3, 2007, almost four years after Wade played in his final collegiate game, Marquette retired his jersey at halftime of a game against Providence. Although Marquette requires student-athletes to graduate prior to receiving jersey retirement honors, the University made a special exception for Wade based on his accomplishments since leaving Marquette.
Before the 2004–05 season Shaquille O'Neal was traded from the Los Angeles Lakers to the Heat. The following season, Miami improved by 17 games, from a 42–40 record in the 2003–04 season to an Eastern Conference-best 59–23 record in the 2004–05 season.[19] The league's coaches selected Wade to be a reserve in the 2005 All-Star Game. He scored 14 points in 24 minutes of play.
In the first round of the 2005 NBA Playoffs, Wade averaged 26.3 points, 8.8 assists, and 6.0 rebounds while maintaining a 50% field-goal percentage[13] as the Heat swept the New Jersey Nets.[20] Wade continued his high level of play in the second round by averaging 31 points, 7 rebounds, and 8 assists per game[13] as the Heat swept the Washington Wizards.[20] The Heat's playoff run was stopped by the Detroit Pistons, the previous season's champions, in 7 games in the Eastern Conference Finals. Wade scored 42 and 36 points in Games 2 and 3 respectively despite playing with sinusitis, the flu, and a knee strain. He also suffered a strained rib muscle in Game 5 of the Conference Finals that prevented him from playing in the series' sixth game[21] and limited him in the seventh. The Heat lost the series in the seventh game despite leading three games to two after the fifth game and holding a lead with three minutes remaining in Game 7.[22]
NBA champion and Finals MVP (2005–06)
Wade at the free throw line
By the 2005–06 season Wade had developed into one of the most prominent players in the NBA and was elected to his second All-Star Game. In the 2006 NBA All-Star Game, Wade made the game winning put-back off of the Philadelphia 76ers' Allen Iverson's missed shot, to lead the East to a 122–120 victory over the West. He scored 20 points on 9/11 field goals in 30 minutes of play.[23] He finished the 2005–06 regular season averaging 27.2 points, 6.7 assists, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.95 steals per game.[12]
Against the Chicago Bulls in the first round of the 2006 NBA Playoffs, Wade shook off a few injuries that scared Heat fans, including a severely bruised hip in Game 5.[24] Returning late in the half, Wade resurrected his team by scoring 15 of his 28 points while suffering from intense pain, leading the Heat to the much-needed 3–2 series lead. After this, Wade successfully led his team to the 2006 NBA Finals, despite suffering from flu-like symptoms in game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Detroit Pistons.[25] He put up a double-double with 14 points and 10 assists in that game, including an 8-point flurry to close out the third quarter that put the game out of reach.[25]
In his first trip to the NBA Finals, in which Miami faced off against the Dallas Mavericks, Wade had some especially memorable moments. His performance in games three, four, and five, in which he scored 42, 36, and 43 points,[26][27] respectively, helped bring the Heat back from a 0–2 deficit to lead the series 3-2. In Game 3 Wade tied his career playoff high with 42 points and grabbed a career high 13 rebounds.[28] 15 of his 42 points came in the fourth quarter, in which the Heat erased a 13-point deficit over the final 6:29 with a 22–7 run which included a go-ahead jumper by NBA veteran Gary Payton that sealed the win.[29] The Heat went on to win Game 6 behind Wade's 36 points, taking the series 4–2, and Wade was presented with the Finals MVP trophy.[30] He became the fifth youngest player in NBA history to capture NBA Finals MVP honors and recorded the third highest scoring average by a player in his first NBA Finals with 34.7 points per game.[13][31] His 33.8 PER in the NBA finals was ranked by ESPN's John Hollinger as the greatest Finals performance since the NBA-ABA merger.[32]
Injuries and missing playoffs (2006–08)
In the 2006–07 season, Wade missed a total of 31 games due to injury. He was elected to his third straight All-Star Game and received All-NBA honors. He became the first guard to earn All-NBA honors after missing at least 31 games in a season since Pete Maravich of the Utah Jazz earned Second Team honors during the 1977–78 season.[13] Despite Wade's play, the Heat struggled early in the season with injuries and were 20–25 on February 1, 2007.[33] But with Shaquille O'Neal healthy and Pat Riley returning to the bench after undergoing hip and knee surgeries,[34] the Heat seemed poised to surge into the second half of the season.[35] However, during a game against the Houston Rockets on February 21, 2007, while attempting to steal the ball from Shane Battier, Wade dislocated his left shoulder and was assisted off the court in a wheelchair.[36] After the injury he was left with the decision to either rehabilitate the shoulder or undergo season-ending surgery.[37] Wade later announced that he would put off the surgery and rehabilitate his shoulder with the intention of rejoining the team in time for the playoffs.[38] After missing 23 games to recover from the injury, Wade returned to the active roster in a game against the Charlotte Bobcats. Sporting a black sleeve to help protect his dislocated left shoulder, Wade played 27 minutes and recorded 12 points and 8 assists, in a 111–103 overtime loss.[39] For the season, Wade averaged 27.4 points, 7.5 assists, 4.7 rebounds, and 2.1 steals per game shooting 50% from the field, and finished the season as the NBA's leader in PER (Player efficiency rating).[40]
In the playoffs, Wade averaged 23.5 points, 6.3 assists, and 4.8 rebounds per game, as the Heat were swept in the first round by the Chicago Bulls.[41] Following the playoffs, Wade underwent a pair of successful surgeries to repair his dislocated left shoulder and left knee. The knee ailment, commonly called "jumper's knee," prevented Wade from joining USA Basketball in the Olympic Qualifying Tournament over the summer.[42]
After missing the Tournament of Americas Olympic Qualifiers over the summer, Miami's eight pre-season games and first seven regular season games to recover from off-season left knee and left shoulder surgeries, Wade made his first appearance of the 2007–08 season on November 14, 2007.[43] Battling pain in his left knee throughout the season,[44] Wade was elected to his fourth consecutive All-Star Game appearance.[45] However, with the Heat holding the worst record in the NBA and Wade still experiencing problems in his left knee, Heat coach Pat Riley announced Wade would miss the final 21 games of the season to undergo OssaTron treatment on his left knee.[46] Wade averaged 24.6 points, 6.9 assists, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.7 steals per game for the season.[40]
Scoring champion and playoff defeats (2008–10)
After undergoing months of rehabilitation on his left knee and helping the U.S. Olympic team win a gold medal at the 2008 Olympics, in which he led the team in scoring, Wade returned to the starting lineup at the start of the 2008–09 season.[47] Early in the season, Wade became the second player in NBA history to tally at least 40 points, 10 assists and five blocked shots in a game since Alvan Adams did so in the 1976–77 season.[48] With a healthy Wade leading the league in scoring and the Heat making a push for a playoff position, Wade was elected to his fifth consecutive All-Star game appearance.[49]
Following the All-Star game, Wade recorded 50 points on 56.6% shooting and added 5 rebounds and 5 assists in a blow-out loss against the Orlando Magic.[50] Wade became the fourth player in NBA history to score at least 50 points while his team lost by at least 20 in a game.[50] The following game, Wade recorded a career-high 16 assists and added 31 points and 7 rebounds in a 103–91 win against the Detroit Pistons.[51] Wade became the second player to record 15 or more assists after scoring at least 50 points since Wilt Chamberlain did so in 1968.[52] Two games later, Wade tied a franchise record with 24 points in the fourth quarter, as he led the Heat back from a 15-point deficit in the final nine minutes of the quarter to secure a 120–115 win over the New York Knicks.[53] For the game, Wade recorded 46 points on 55% field goal shooting, 10 assists, 8 rebounds, 4 steals and 3 blocks.[53] Wade followed the performance with a second-consecutive 40-point game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.[54] Playing against his Eastern Conference rival and good friend, LeBron James, Wade registered 41 points on 53% shooting, 9 assists, 7 steals, 7 rebounds and one block as the Heat lost 107–100.[54] The following game, in former teammate Shaquille O'Neal's return to Miami since being traded, Wade tied a career-high with 16 assists and added 35 points on 62% shooting, 6 rebounds, a steal and a block, as the Heat defeated the Phoenix Suns 135–129.[55] Wade became the only player in Heat history to have multiple games with at least 30 points and 15 assists.[55] Less than a week later, Wade tied his franchise record with his 78th consecutive game of scoring in double figures in a double overtime thriller against the Chicago Bulls, in which he scored the game-winning three-point basket to secure a 130–127 win.[56] Wade finished with 48 points on 71.4% shooting, 12 assists, 6 rebounds, 4 steals and 3 blocks in 50 minutes.[56] Wade joined Wilt Chamberlain as the only other player in NBA history to score that many points and have that many assists in a game, while having as high of a field goal percentage.[57] Two games later, Wade surpassed Alonzo Mourning and became the Heat's all-time leading scorer in a triple overtime classic against the Utah Jazz.[58] Wade finished with 50 points, 10 rebounds, 9 assists, 4 steals, and 2 blocks in a 140–129 win.[58]
During the season, Wade became the first player in NBA history to accumulate at least 2,000 points, 500 assists, 100 steals, and 100 blocks in a season and is the first player of 6 ft. 5 in. or shorter to register at least 100 blocks in a season.[59][60] Wade also became just the fifth player in NBA History to reach 2,000 points, 500 assists, and 150 steals in a season.[61] After a 97–92 win against the Charlotte Bobcats, Wade helped the Heat clinch a playoff berth and become only the second team in NBA History to reach the postseason after winning 15 or fewer games the year before.[62] In a 122–105 win against the New York Knicks, Wade recorded a career high 55 points on 63% field goal shooting and added 9 rebounds and 4 assists.[63] Wade recorded 50 points through three quarters and was pulled out of the game while he was one point shy of eclipsing the franchise record of 56 points set by Glen Rice.[63] For the season, Wade averaged a league high 30.2 points per game, earning his first NBA Scoring Title, and added 7.5 assists, 5.0 rebounds, 2.2 steals, and 1.3 blocks per game.[40] Wade finished the season with higher point, assist, steal and block averages than LeBron James and Kobe Bryant, who both finished ahead of Wade in the MVP race.
On November 1, in just his third game of the 2009–10 season Wade recorded his 10,000th career point in a 95–87 win against the Chicago Bulls.[64] On November 12 against the Cleveland Cavaliers, Wade made a spectacular dunk over Anderson Varejão, considered by many to be one of the greatest of the season until then. LeBron James himself described the dunk as "great, probably top 10 all-time".[65] Two days later against the New Jersey Nets, with the Heat down by two in the final seconds, Wade hit a clutch three-point shot, giving the Heat the win by one point, 81–80.[66] On January 6, Wade scored a season-high 44 points in an overtime loss against the Boston Celtics, the most points scored by a player in a losing effort in the season until that point.[67] On January 21, Wade was selected to play for the East in the 2010 NBA All-Star Game, which was his sixth overall All-Star appearance.[68] Wade was named the game's MVP after recording 28 points, 11 assists, 5 steals and 6 rebounds.[69]
In just his second game back from the All-Star Game on February 17, Wade strained his calf in the first quarter. He left the game with 8 points in 8 minutes of play, ending his personal and also Heat's franchise record streak of 148 consecutive games with at least 10 points.[70] On April 2, Wade was named Eastern Conference Player of the Month and Player of the Week twice for his play in the month of March, leading the Heat to a 12–3, the team's best record since March 2006. It was his first Player of the Month award of the season and 5th of his career. He averaged 26.9 and 7.5 assists per game, which both ranked third in the Eastern Conference, and 2.3 steals per game, which ranked first. Wade recorded six 30 points games and had six double-doubles in the month, including a season-high 14 assists in an overtime win against the Los Angeles Lakers on March 4.[71]
For the season, Wade averaged 26.6 points on 47.6% field goal shooting, 6.5 assists, 4.8 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 1.1 blocks per game, while leading his team to a 47–35 record, clinching the fifth seed in the NBA Playoffs.[40] In the first round, with the Heat facing a sweep against the Boston Celtics, Wade recorded a career playoff-high and also franchise record 46 points, outscoring the entire Celtics team in the 4th quarter with 19 points versus 15 by Boston.[72] It was also Wade's sixth career playoff game with at least 40 points scored.[40] Despite averaging 33.2 points on 56.4% shooting, 6.8 assists, 5.6 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 1.6 blocks, Wade and the Heat would lose to Boston in five games.[73]
During the off-season, Miami-Dade County commissioners voted unanimously to rename the county "Miami-Wade County" for one week from July 1–7, 2010 in Wade's honor and to try and convince Wade to stay in Miami and sign with the Heat.[74] On July 7, it was announced that Wade would be re-signing with the Miami Heat, along with former Toronto Raptor Chris Bosh.[75] The following day, LeBron James announced he would be joining the Heat to play with Wade and Bosh, causing a stir in the media and among fans.[76] The deals were officially announced on July 10; Bosh and James arrived via sign-and-trade deals.[77] The Heat finished with a 58-24 record in the first year of the Big 3 Era and earned the second seed in the Eastern Conference. For the season, Wade averaged 25.5 points, 6.4 rebounds, 4.6 assists, and 1.5 steals per game, shooting 50% from the field. After defeating the Philadelphia 76ers, Boston Celtics, and Chicago Bulls, the Heat reached the Finals, but lost to the Dallas Mavericks in six games. Wade averaged 26.5 points, 7 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game for the NBA Finals and 24.5 points, 7.1 rebounds and 4.4 for the entire playoffs.[78]
Prior to the beginning of the 2011-12 NBA season, Bosh in 2012 opined Wade should take the last second shot instead of Bosh or James to win or lose a game based off Wade's past success.[79] On February 26, 2012 at the All-Star Game Wade recorded what was only the third triple-double in the history of the contest, posting 24 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, joining Michael Jordan and LeBron James as the only players ever to record the prestigious stat (at the 1997 and 2011 games respectively). On March 10, 2012 Wade made the game-winning shot against the Indiana Pacers to give the Heat a 93–91 overtime win. Wade finished the season averaging 22.1 points, 4.8 assists, 4.6 rebounds, and 1.7 steals per game. In the playoffs, the Heat defeated the New York Knicks in 5 games in the first round, then defeated the Indiana Pacers in 6 games in the second round. Wade heated up in Game 6 of the second round, recording 41 points and 10 rebounds.[80] The Celtics took the Heat to seven games in the Eastern Conference Finals, but the Heat prevailed and advanced to the NBA Finals. They lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 1 of the finals, but won the next four games, and Wade secured his second NBA title. Wade averaged 22.6 points per game in the series. The Heat became the first team in NBA history to win a championship after trailing in three different playoff series.
Before the start of the 2012-13 NBA season, Wade underwent surgery due to a left knee injury. He missed the 2012 Summer Olympics.[81][82] While Wade missed the Heat's first pre-season game against the Atlanta Hawks, he returned in time for the Heat's second pre-season game against the Los Angeles Clippers, which was held at the MasterCard Center in Beijing, China. Miami won the game 94–80.[83][84] On December 26, 2012, during an away game against the Charlotte Bobcats, Wade kicked guard Ramon Sessions in the groin. The following day, Wade was suspended by the NBA for one game.[85]
At the end of the season, the Heat defeated the San Antonio Spurs in the 2013 NBA Finals, giving Wade his third championship.[86]
What is your main goal (Motivation)?: Bion doesn’t know much about what his overall goal is. He is just slowly becoming better at what he enjoys doing the most.
Wade was a member of the 2004 US Olympics team with fellow NBA All-Stars LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony. The team competed in the 2006 FIBA World Championship in Japan, in which Wade averaged 19.3 points per game.[87] The team won a bronze medal, which disappointed many USA fans who had hoped for a return to the days of the original "Dream Team".[88][89] Wade was named to the USA Men's Basketball National Team from 2006 to 2008. He was named co-captain of the 2006 team, along with James and Anthony.[90] In 2007, due to injury, Wade was unable to compete at the Tournament of Americas Olympic Qualifiers, where the United States compiled a 10–0 record and qualified for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China.[91]
At the 2008 Olympics, the United States went unbeaten and earned gold medal honors, defeating the 2006 World Champion Spain in the final game. Wade led the team in scoring throughout the tournament and tallied a game high 27 points in 27 minutes on 75% field goal shooting and added 4 steals, 2 assists and 2 rebounds in the game.[92] For the tournament, he averaged a team high 16 points in 18 minutes on 67% field goal shooting, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 2.3 steals, as the United States lived up to their Redeem Team moniker and captured gold medal honors for the first time since 2000.[92][93]
On June 28, 2012, it was reported that Wade would miss the 2012 Olympics in London because of knee surgery.[94]
Wade plays the shooting guard position, but is also capable of playing point guard. On offense, he has established himself as one of the quickest and most difficult players to guard in the NBA. Wade's signature one-two step allows him to dash past bigger defenders and occasionally get the extra foul shot.[95] Wade is able to get to the free throw line consistently; he ranked first in free-throw attempts per 48 minutes in 2004–05 and again in the 2006–07 season. He has proven himself an unselfish player, averaging 6.1 assists per game throughout his career.[12] After winning the NBA Finals MVP Award in 2006, Wade developed a reputation as one of the premier clutch players in the NBA.[96]
David Thorpe, an athletic trainer who runs a training center for NBA players in the offseason, also cites Wade's developing post up game as one of his strengths.[97] "Watching Wade operate on the left block is literally like watching old footage of MJ (Michael Jordan)," comments Thorpe.[97] Thorpe goes on to say that Wade's best moves from the post are his turnaround jump shot,[97] double pivot,[97] and what Thorpe terms as a "freeze fake",[98] a pump fake Wade uses to get his opponent to jump, so that he can then drive around him to the basket.[98] The main weakness cited in Wade's ability is his lack of three-point range; he has averaged .289 on three-point field goal attempts for his career.[12]
Wade is best known for his ability to convert difficult lay-ups, even after hard mid-air collisions with larger defenders.[95] As crowd pleasing as his high-flying style of basketball may be, some have expressed concerns over the dangers of playing in this manner,[95] as Wade has already hurt his knees and wrists after mid-air collisions with larger players. Wade has also established himself on defense for his ability to block shots and accumulate steals.[99][100]
Strengths: He’s getting better at the sword and bow, his best strength is his self motivation to learn. He’s slightly stronger than the average man, and is training the muscles endurance up.
Weaknesses: none im 2 good
Will your character likely join an existing faction? If so, which? If not, why not?: Yea the heat
ICRs
Walking down the streets of the Capitol, you encounter a pair of heavily armed and armoured men harassing a young girl.
Bion walks by the scene with his head low at first, but stops not being able to force himself by. He turns and walks to the men and stands there staring at them for a moment.
“What do you want?” one of them retorts at Bion as he takes his attention from the young girl.
“If you could leave her alone.” Bion suggests towards the girl with a nod. “That would be just lovely.” The armored man takes a look back at the other man and gives a sly smirk. He then returns a stare that feels like daggers, causing Bion to force down a fearful look. Bion strikes up a hardened look and states.
“I may not have the numbers or equipment on my side, but I’ve been beat down plenty enough to know I can handle it. But I won’t go down without a few jabs and kicks.” it comes easier as he knows that it isn’t complete bull . The two men commence to giving each other considering looks and finally one says.
“We’ve had our fun anyways.. Don’t you go thinking of yourself any higher though.” The two men leave, the girl standing there in a bit of a paralyzed state. Bion lets out a deep breath and glances over to the girl. “I’ll take whatever you can give me.”
“Wha... What?”
“Well my services aren’t exactly free.” She scoffs at him mid sentence and walks away grumbling about the nerve of men. Leaving Bion there with a scowl and a still empty purse.
A man approaches you with a proposition - Go to Bloodstone and retrieve something for him, and you will be well rewarded.
Bion scratches the back of his head and looks over his current situation. He smirks meekly and thoroughly apologizes for being not being on par for such a job.
You pass an old man lying on the side of the street, begging for food.
Passing by the old man, Bion sighs as he stops and passes back just enough so the old man could pick him up some nourishment for the day. He complains at himself for being so soft towards an old beggar.
In a tavern, a slightly inebriated fellow insults your mother.
Bion doesn’t take it too much to heart,and pays for the man’s next drink and takes himself to a rented bed for the night.
You take a liking to a beautiful necklace a passing woman wears.
Bion stares at the necklace, drawing attention to himself for a moment. For some reason he wanted that necklace, but buying it off the woman would be far out of his league.

Character Information
Name: Zack Damasty
Age: 32
Class: Craftsman
Citizen of the Chancellory or a member of the Medori?:
Citizen of the Chancellory
Physical description:
Dresses up neat and tidily, unexpected from a well built man in his vocation as a craftsman.
Screen capture of your skin:
No skin yet, will find one later.
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.):
Money, money, money! Zack learned the importance of money at an early age. Those with money were able to get all the cool toys, those whose parents had money were able to live in big houses. If their parents had more money, their big houses might also have servants in them. Yes life with money looked pretty good for Zack, not that he came from a family that was poor. It was a pretty well to do family with its own thriving business but people always knew only how to look at people with better things than them.
After he got older he found that money was a lot more important. Those with money were able to go to the academy and learn things that will make them more money! It was a never ending cycle whereas Zack was expected to help with the family business. To slave away at a workbench or smithy to make things that the people with money wanted. It was during his first few years working at the family store that Zack's greed turned into envy. He was able to touch all those nice, pretty, shiny things that was ordered for, only to have them given to the owners that paid for them as soon as it was completed.
Eventually Zack couldn't take it anymore and started to work very hard. His family thought that he realized what he needed to do but Zack actually had a reason for this. He wanted to make and save as much money as he could and then get himself into the academy. After that he would be able to learn what he needed in order to make a lot more money then he could have that big house and maybe an airship of his own to look down on the other common folk.
That was a plan. Not really a good plan but a plan that will be as good as it will be for Zack. Now all there was left is to work on it.
What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation):
Money, lots of money and then after than, the best money can buy like an airship.
Strengths (Both physical and personality):
Zack's greatest strength is that he is driven to accomplish his goals. For that he is willing to do whatever it takes to get what he wants when others might give up long before unless of course there is a risk to his personal well being.
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.):
Zack's notable weakness is that he is really greedy. Unless there is something in it for him, he should not be expected to do something for anyone else. Even a moment that could be seen as altruism should be approached with caution as he might have an ulterior motive no one could see.
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.):
I don't think so. Might look into that sometime.
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.
Zack muses on the state of the Capitol lately if a few thugs can act like that before calling out "I've just called the guards and you bett..." before taking a look to where he came from and shouting out "Hey! They're over here!" Failing that he'll run away and call the guards for real.
A man approaches you with a proposition - Go to Bloodstone and retrieve something for him, and you will be well rewarded.
"How well rewarded are we talking about? And whats the risk?" Zack would ask before deciding whether or not the task will be worth it. The answer to the first question will probably be enough to determine his decision though.
You pass an old man lying on the side of the street, begging for food.
Passing right by the man Zack will act like he did not notice. His money was his money! Not for handouts.
In a tavern, a slightly inebriated fellow insults your mother.
Zack would retort "Oh yeah, then why did you just meet my mom last night? You think I didn't notice that?" before proceeding to insult the man's mother, sister, aunt, grandmother and any female that is related to him.
You take a liking to a beautiful necklace a passing woman wears.
Make a quick glance before deciding that getting a necklace like that now would not be worth the price. Once he gets more money that he could Zack can have a lot of necklaces.
Do you have any questions about the server or our lore?
I think I might try to go Alchemist later on so for future reference, how hard would it be to get the materials to craft the potions? Because in some servers its either hard or close to impossible and others try to make it a little easier.

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," Bronn yells. "What'cha doin' to that girl?" "This is none of your business farm boy!" the guards yell back. Bronn continues on his way, troubled. He passes a guard station, and, with a sudden idea, goes inside to report what he saw.
A man approaches you with a proposition - Go to Bloodstone and retrieve something for him, and you will be well rewarded.
~ "S'cuse me sir, but I don't like the way that sounds," Bronn responds. "Oh, believe me, it's perfectly safe," replies the man. Bronn is obviously thinking hard. "Um, uh, maybe another time mister, I'm a little busy right now," Says Bronn, who procedes to walk away.
You pass an old man lying on the side of the street, begging for food.
~"Change for the poor, sir?" the beggar asks. "Oh, um, I don't have much in the way of money, but I have a few bits of food, apple?"
The beggar greedily takes the apple, and thanks Bronn. "No problem, sir, you have a nice day," Bronn continues down the path.
In a tavern, a slightly inebriated fellow insults your mother. ~"Oi, farm boy, did you know, your mother is a pig?" jests the man. "Sir, my mother is a normal woman, and not a pig, I assure you," Bronn replies, rather amused. This angers the man, so he takes another swig of his drink, and swaggers up to Bronn. "Oi, I don't like your face," says the man, a bit of spittle landing on Bronns face. "Sorry, sir, but I like my face just fine," replies Bronn, who, sensing danger, leaves the bar.
You take a liking to a beautiful necklace a passing woman wears. ~Bronn would tell the woman what a nice necklace she has, and thinking much more of it.
Do you have any questions about the server or our lore? Nope.
Other notes: Sorry that I didn't finish this before it posted.
Omnitrix- Your app was great, there was just one thing that I have to defer you for. Your character will need a physical weakness. Perhaps make him slower than average, have him get fatigued easy, make him a little weak, or just say that he has no fighting ability. You could also give him a blind eye, a bum leg, etc.
I'm sure you won't have any problem thinking of a way to give your character a weakness. Anyway, look forward to seeing you in TAC.
AmixTheory- Alrighty. Your app was very close to a reject, seeing how your bio wasn't even close to 400 words (You only had 143). A lot of the times, this leads to rejection, seeing as it says specifically in the app "Make this 400 words long." However, since you had some trouble with posting your app straight away without finishing, I can't be sure if this was just a mistake and you forgot you weren't done with the bio, or just lazy. If 400 words is too much, atleast try and get it close, 350 is the lowest I'd accept.
Also, being short is not a physical weakness. Give him a real one, fast on his feet but not very strong, or strong but not very fast. Or, make him weak and slow, forcing your character to stay back and pick people off with his bow. Heck, you could even have him get fatigued easily. Or.. Give him a bum leg, a blind eye, etc. You can figure something out. Just find a way to gimp Bronn.
Also, "Real Life Age: Kyle" I laughed way to hard at that. Anyway, I'm guessing you just mistook the word "Age" for "Name", or something along those lines. It's no big problem, everyone derps like that every once in a while. If it was intentional and you're really just "Kyle" years old.. Well.. *cough*, Let's just not go there. If you're not comfortable sharing you age with us, it's fine to just say 'not telling.' Or you could just make something up, we wouldn't have a way of knowing, that's the nice thing about the internet.
Anyway, please fix these up if you can, and you'll be accepted into TAC. Good luck!
I've listed plenty of things you could do right there. Just trade strength for speed, or vice versa. Have him get fatigued easily. Or, you can give him a physical injury/maim him. There are more options then just maiming him. I've listed them pretty cleary, I think. You could just say he's horrible in combat. That'd be good enough.
Also, no, being "physically average" is not a weakness. I'm not sure why it would be. It'd just be average (not gonna mention all the different ideas of what 'average' is).
Anyway, you can figure something out, I'm sure.

ATTENTION NOT COMPLETE: RAN OUT OF TIME.
Those aren't weaknesses. The reaction time thing.. That happens to everyone. The only way he could be slower if he was blind, deaf, or had some form of mental retardation (or all three). It'd be much easier to gimp your character the ways I've listed. Also, please, repost a copy of your app next time. This counts as a deferral. One more shot, make it count (Honestly, you could pick a weakness right off the list of weaknesses I gave you :L I'd hate to have to reject you over something so small).
NitaiPieman - Actually a pretty good app, I only have a few qualms with it. One, I'd like a bit more of your character's life story, just a bit more detail. Second, a bit better weaknesses; your weaknesses described appear to just be normal human reactions to atrocities. I'd also like it if you could at least get a temporary skin until you have a personal one made. Fix these things and you should be ready to go. Good luck!
I'm a man of few words and many voices.

Biography (Minimum 400 words. Cannot include loved ones being killed, kidnapped, tortured, or the like, unless you can do it in a non-cliché manner.):
Blight was named because his mother died in childbirth, and left to live with a neglectful and bitter alcoholic of a father that never quite moved on from his wife's death. During his childhood, Blight lived in the slums, and made friends with the neighborhood boys, most of whom enjoyed the classic, urban pastime of pickpocketing or otherwise stopping adults in the streets and shaking them down for coin. While others attended church, Blight and his friends were fooling around, taking advantage of their absence. More than once, this landed young Blight into trouble with the guards, and as he descended into his early adolescence, his already mischievous behavior evolved into the daring and bold, if not foolhardy. Often pursuing girls, and sometimes older women, Blight became a notorious for his outrageous flirting, as well as his hasty getaways once angry husbands and significant others arrived on the scene; fists raised in fury. When he wasn't having fun on his misadventures, he was working odd jobs usually involving labor or delivery. By the time he was eighteen, Blight had learned enough life skills to be self-sufficient, which was put to good use when his father finally wasted away and died in his sleep.
His father's passing had an unexpected effect: Blight began to want more in life, and for the first time, he began to make an honest effort towards attaining that. Having outgrown pickpocketing, and knowing very well that his current income would not support him, Blight began to scour the city for a trade to make a living off of. His first efforts at gaining an apprenticeship were met with failure, as his would-be masters never forgot how Blight had shamelessly pursued their wives, sisters, and daughters; most of which were already spoken for. While Blight had some skill with weaponry and combat, the guards and mercenaries also rejected him, having never forgotten how Blight and his posse of young pickpockets had either made fools of them or outclassed them while they were still green and unskilled. Feeling hopeless for the first time, Blight made his way to a local bar, where he intended to drown his sorrows and possibly accept that he may very well share his father's fate. It was then that the bartender began talking to him, having noticed his dejected and miserable appearance. At first, Blight rejected the man's sympathies, telling him to mind his own business. It was then that the bartender served Blight an elixir, and explained that a bartender doesn't just serve drinks, he manages their troubles. The bartender continued to explain by comparing his job to that of a doctor by saying that both were jobs where betraying your client is absolutely forbidden, but the difference was that while a doctor tended to your body, a bartender tended to your spirit. Blight didn't really understand; he wasn't a romantic, but the bartender's words made sense. Now that he looked around him, the patrons clearly had their troubles, but their spirits were high, and not because of the alcohol. Their troubles were differing in degree, but in the end, it was all the same. Life was filled with trouble, and trying to stay out of it your whole life would be a full-time job. But they weren't complaining. That's when Blight knew what he wanted to do: be a bartender. He'd listen to the troubles of his patrons, and quell their illusions and fears by reminding them that there's always a place where everybody knew their name. They were among friends. With a fleeting feeling of newfound confidence and self-esteem, Blight broke into song that soon turned into a chorus of merriment as the patrons and the bartender joined in:
"It's stroke of nine on a Saturday; the regular mob's strollin' in. There's an old man sitting next to me, drowing out his sorrows and sins."
"He says 'Lad, can you sing me a memory? I cannot recall how it goes, but it's bittersweet, and I knew it complete. When I wore a younger man's clothes..."
"Nah-de-dada, dede-dada, Na-de-dada-dede-da, Nah-dada, Nah, Da, Da"
"Sing us a song, you're the Fiddler Man! Sing us, a song, tonight! Our spirits are high, out of devils reach, so let's all have a good time!"
Blight didn't get too drunk, which was good. He wanted to commit that night to memory for the rest of his life. He knew what he wanted, and how to get it. Recently, he heard that the famed Acadamy was reopening. Blight smiled; the path was literally laying itself out for him, and you didn't need a Primary Degree to connect the dots. His next step would be to get precisely that, and a secondary degree in Alchemy. Then, he'd be able to brew the potions and elixirs that would raise the spirits of the troubled, just like that night he so treasured. His smile grew even broader: He couldn't wait to get started.
What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation): Blight's goal is to become a true bartender, in the sense of tending to the well beings and establishing trust between himself, and his would-be patrons. He views the job as a way to truly live life, as well as to escape the fate of fading into obscurity like his father.
Strengths (Both physical and personality): Blight is no stranger to fistfights, although he prefers not to engage in violence if he can help it. Although he no longer picks pockets and locks for a living, Blight still hasn't lost his uncanny ability to talk his way in and out of any situation, as well as being able to navigate through the city's rooftops and ground. In the last 2-3 years, he's improved on his reading and writing in preparation for attending the Academy. He also has limited knowledge of brewing; something he plans to expand upon.
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.): While Blight might be street smart, he is somewhat cocky and obnoxious. He still hasn't broken his old habit of flirting outrageously with women, (He's been slapped in the face so many times that he's built up a tolerance) which tends to get him into trouble. Also, the guards still haven't forgotten Blight's childhood escapades, and they pay extra scrutiny towards him in particular. This could be quite hazardous to Blight's health, seeing as how they're trained to use powerful weapons and move in durable armor, while he isn't. You might feel inclined to believe he's an arrogant fraker, but let's be honest: personalities like Blights break the tension, meaning without him, you'd be a very stiff stick-in-the-mud.
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.): None
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.
"And what are you fine gentlemen up to today?" Blight asks while carrying a concealed Potion of Blindness; for emergencies only, of course. "None of your bloody frakin' business. Now shove off!" One of them says, turning his head for a moment before resuming his harassment. "Do your mothers know you're out of the house?" That got their attention. "No one talks to us like that!" The first man said, brandishing a knife. "Now we're going to have some fun with you..." Said his partner. "Let's put a smile on that face, eh?" As the two men began to leer forward, Blight made his move. Taking the potion, he splashed its blinding contents in both their eyes. As they screeched and cursed in pain, Blight turned towards the cowering and frightened girl. "Get out of here!" He shouted. She nodded, and made for the nearest alleyway. Blight then took the opportunity to escape; those men would be blind for long. By the time they regained their sight, both he and the girl would be gone.
A man approaches you with a proposition - Go to Bloodstone and retrieve something for him, and you will be well rewarded.
Blight raised an eyebrow, but smirked all the same. "I've got a counter-proposal. You find me a fit lady that'll take me to dinner, and I'll treat you to drinks at the tavern, what do you say?" Blight asked. The man scowled. "You know what? Forget I asked. Just shove off!" Blight walked away from the man, laughing at his own wit and the audacity of the man's offer. Go to Bloodstone... Please. You didn't need the temptation of a reward to go there, just a death wish. Seeing as how Blight was still not a bartender, he couldn't risk his life; not before he attained his life's dream.
You pass an old man lying on the side of the street, begging for food.
Blight sighs. The pitiful sight of this old man is enough to remind him of his late father. He takes out his wallet, looking for something to give. Nothing. Sighing, Blight makes his apologies and begins to walk away when the old man warns him never to let his situation become as dire as the old man's. After an awkward silence, Blight continues on his way. He suddenly feels incentive to study harder. Blight can't fail to become a bartender.
In a tavern, a slightly inebriated fellow insults your mother.
Blight shatters the big end of his bottle on a table, leaving only the handle, now easily a poor man's blade. He walks over to the offender, intending to teach the man a lesson they certainly don't at the Academy. When Blight stops walking, he's close enough to smell the man's breath. After smelling alcohol, Blight sighs, and calmly asks how much he's had to drink. The man replies with a slur of more curses and insults, which hardly register themselves in Blight's mind. Realizing that he's not worth it, Blight turns around and leaves, reprimanding himself not to make that mistake again if he wants to be a bartender.
You take a liking to a beautiful necklace a passing woman wears.
The necklace was pretty, but not as pretty as the lady herself. Putting on his best face, Blight walked over to the lady, and asked where she acquired the necklace. She gives him the location of the shop, and is about to be on her way when Blight stops her again, complements her appearance, and asks her to dinner. Three seconds later, Blight is walking away, still smirking despite the hand imprint on his cheek. A couple of bystanders laughed at Blight's face, and he promptly told them to bury their heads.
Do you have any questions about the server or our lore? What currency do you use, if any?
Other notes: None
Well people whether trained in combat or not are pretty alert (or paranoid) hence why what I proposed could count as a weakness. As a matter of principle I don't like forcing weaknesses on like this just for the sake of gimping (hence why there is no fantastic strength to him either) because it has no meaning whatsoever but if I have to take something from that limited list then slower than average, which is still actually more or less the same.
