          Atlas, comes from a family of High Elves who specialize in astronomy, whose family lives in Irrinor, although that is information she doesn't currently have. She grew up learning the ways of an Alchemist while continuing her studies in Astronomy. Her peculiarity comes from her strange eyes, and the odd coloring of hair which is not normal for high elves, who much like her parents having silver hair. However, even after having such odd features, her eye color and her height do remain to be a normal feature.  Atlas's name comes from the odd star that appears in both eyes, and it seems that as she got older she has keen eye for finding stars. Unfortunately for Atlas, one fateful night went out to study the stars had climbed her way into a tree not realizing that this would be a night she would be greeted by a Snow Elf, who was quite a far way from home. The young elf, whose name was unknown by Atlas, invited to take her somewhere else to gaze to the stars. She accepted and followed the young Elf into a snowy landscape, that was harsh to her thin figure. While staying with the elf, whose name she learned was Ajax, she learned combat, something she wasn't built for, but exceeded in never the less. Growing tired of the snowy landscape she ventured out to leave and wonder the forest, deciding to practice her skills in astronomy that she practiced by herself in private away from snow elves. Throughout her time she wished to go back home, one day venturing back through the woods, she stumbled across a tower that seemed to be burning, there she stood watching and remembering that this was her old home. There in the flames she saw a snow elf, Ajax to be exact. Out of fear and hatred she ran into the forest to study and take revenge.  Although she is constantly moving around, she kept studying astronomy. She now wonders around woods, and occasionally goes through small towns to rest. While coming through a small town she comes across a bar, which she has to duck to get in to. There she meets a young girl, well elf to be exact, with subtle pink hair. After approaching the girl, whose name is Kindria, she learns that she is a high elf who was forced her home. Kindria, who has a thirst death. Atlas pays the girl to go after Ajax, earning him the next seating with death. After this Kindria and Atlas became friends. Due to Kindria's odd work line, Atlas volunteered to take care of Kindria and her "unexplained wounds" that appear due to Kindria's "work."

Hey there GlowingPotatoes! Your application is well written and for the most part done well, with the exception of a few but minor mistakes. However, they can be fixed with a couple of tweaks and you’ll be set for being accepted onto the server!

 

Your Application has been put on Pending for the following reason(s):

  • Definitions | Although your definitions aren't incorrect, I'd like you to elaborate further on what you've already written. Perhaps provide an example or two really explain what metagaming and powergaming really is. Here are some links to help you out!: power-emoting and metagaming.

 

  • Biography | As stated in your background story, you've included that Atlas has practiced magic in the past before, namely arcanism. Although magic is an aspect of LoTC we require players to create a Magic Application on our forums, with the approval of another player who has an accepted Teacher Application in said magic. Please remove any mention of arcanism from your appliciation and you should be good to go! 

 

With that, you have 24 hours to make the necessary changes needed. Failing to make these changes within the allotted time will return in an automatic denial, though upon request I’ll be able to grant more time for your corrections.No need to make another post, just hit the ‘edit’ button on the bottom!
