When Faith was born, it was a grand celebration for her village. Although, on the night she was born, lightning had struck. She didn't receive powers, just hate from all who witnessed it. From then on, people believed she brought darkness with her, naming her the "Cursed Child." Faith grew up in a simple cottage with her mother, father, and little brother Romeo. On her sixth birthday, she received a bow from her mother, who later on taught her how to use it. Faith didn't know it at the time, but her mother wanted her to be able to protect herself from those who wanted to harm her. A few years later, Faith came home from hunting only to find her mother and little brother murdered. Terrified, she ran into the other room to retrieve her father for help. When she finally found him, he was drenched in blood. In defense, Faith raised her bow and shot him in the heart. Some who witnessed believed she had been planning on destroying the village, and demanded her to be sent to death. Faith pleaded, however, and told the village what had happened. Angered with what they thought were her lies, they banished her into the forest. She went on alone, trusting no one she meets. She rarely ever uses her bow, for she was traumatized by what had happened on that day. So, she spends her days running, and stealing from others.

She begins, then pauses to study their face—”Ah, it’s you. I’ve been expecting you. Sit,” she gestures at a chair, “Where do you come from? What do you hope to make of yourself?”

"Oh, I just, uh…" The traveler stutters, tensing up. They eye the crone, then back outside the shack. For a moment, the air thickens with anticipation, until…

-Please provide an example of both powergaming and metagaming. This is so we can confirm you know what these things are and why they are detrimental to roleplay.

-Please make reference to the LOTC lore at least once in your biography. This can be done by mentioning a place or event that has impacted your character. You can find the lore here.

 

You have 24 hours to make the above changes.

I'd recommend joining the new player discord if you need any additional help: https://discord.gg/eySYjqw

An example of metagaming would be someone telling other players or friends about something going on inside the game. For example, Faith telling someone that dark elves are raiding the town. An example of powergaming would be someone saying they stabbed someone in chat although they physically can't. For example, Faith: Cuts off Juliet's arm.

Your application was really good, but you forgot to include a reference to the LOTC lore in your biography. Check out the wiki here, and include something from it (easiest would be a place or an event that impacted your character), in your biography. https://wikia.lordofthecraft.net/index.php?title=Main_Page

You may reapply in three hours.
