Biography (We recommend your application be between 2-5 paragraphs. No walls of text):

Eric was born in a small farm west of Alras. Eric had both of his parents, His father, Mich and his mother, Mallorie. As a young boy, Eric’s family had a great impact on his beliefs. His father was very religious from a young age and followed “The Creator.” So, naturally, Eric is the same. A darker thing his father influenced was the fact that he was EXTREMELY racist to dark elfs. His father always told him that they were “Taint” of the world. Eric always believed this and never looked at them the same way. This Dark part of him  will stay with him for the rest of his life.  Mich was Head of the town watch in a nearby town called Rakelyt. He was a drunk. Everyday Mich came home after his drinks at the bar in a drunken rage to beat Eric’s mother. Mallorie being a stay at home mother, cooking and cleaning for the family, refused to divorce him in fear of destroying Eric’s childhood.The early stages of Eric’s life were uneventful.  As Eric approached the age of 16, an anger for his father grew inside of him. Mich got Eric an apprenticeship for the blacksmith in Rakelyt when  he became 16.

Eric spent the next few years using and learning about blades. It intrigued him very much. He began to secretly train with the blacksmith in how to fight with a longblade. Eric was good. He was a swift learner and witty when it came to counters and faking out his opponent. Slowly, Eric began to enjoy life. But one day, Eric’s father Mich disappeared. Mich left Eric and Mallorie to fend for themselves. Neither of them had a background to get a good job.

That small little darkness inside Eric that had been growing inside of him over the years emerged and he exploded in anger. Eric heard a rumor that his father was seen on a boat leaving for “The New Land.” In a blind rage Eric, leaving his mother on Alras hopped on the next boat over to follow his father. His hope was to get revenge on Mich for all the years of torment and cruelty he gave to him and his mother. Along the boat ride Eric heard stories about adventuring in the new land and what great times it was. He ignored them focusing on his target. ready to take on his father.

Arriving in “The New Lands” Eric had no idea what to do or where to go. He spent the next two elven days walking about trying to find some trace of Mich. He noticed a trail leading off to the mountains and trudged on. Over the mountains and valleys he searched and nothing but a few homes stood. One day on his journey his life would change course. Eric saw what looked like a small stone keep on the side of a hill. Eric approached not caring who lived within. before he arrived at the gates a huge elf walks over to him. “Oi who are you?” he asked Eric. Eric replied looking up to the elf’s face “Eric Morris Sir. Who are you and where am I?” The elf looked surprised and said “I’m Leric and this is The White Rose keep of Rivia.” Leric and Eric spoke a while before Leric asked if Eric wanted to join the order. Eric thought it would be a good way to aid his search and him also always dreaming of having a purpose, Eric accepted Leric’s offer.

Years Past as Eric grew in strength and became something he always wanted. He almost completely forgot of his father and his vendetta against him. One day while Eric was on a solo patrol, he sees a woman on the Rose’s wall. She has a flint trying to set fire to the wall. He calls to her “Hay you! STOP!” She looks up to him running off. Eric being himself charges after her. She leads him to a nearby town. She darts down an alley Eric not thinking follows. Out of nowhere, a large orc moves from behind a wall towering above Eric. Eric runs into him not expecting the large foe stumbling backwards. The Orc then swings a large fist to Eric’s face connecting knocking him down. The Orc smiles “Awh! A woze all be himzelf?” Eric looks up dazed seeing another fist swing towards his head again. It again connects with the unready Eric pushing his head into the floor. By this time Eric is expecting to die. He readies himself for the worst. Out of nowhere, a large arrow enters the orc’s chest. Eric passes out. He remembers flashes of Leric’s face and the ground moving below him. The next morning Eric awakes his is room. Leric at the foot of the bed he realizes Leric saved his life. At this point something changes in Eric. He realizes that no longer he is just a simple farm boy. He is now actually something. Something Important. Something Deadly. His honor is both a blessing and a curse. He knows his place in the order and has placed his trust solely in house Chivay. The years of training and determination have made Eric realize something. he is now ready to do Anything asked of him. No matter the circumstances. He sees that his unmistakable honor has lead him in a path that will have no return.  Many years go by events taking place Eric moving up in the ranks The Rose eventually moving to a place called “Krak” Then. Eric is approached by Lord Thomas Chivay. Master and commander of the Rose. Thomas speaks in a deep tone looking to Eric. “How’d you like to be my squire?” he asks. Eric’s eyebrow raised surprised by his liking in him. Accepts the offer and begins his duties as Thomas’s Squire. By this time Eric forgets of his father because of all the happenings the Rose goes though on a daily basis. ((An example  Eric may have to follow orders to kill.)) Thomas Approaches Eric in full armor. Clinking as he walks down the hallway he says to Eric. “Come Eric, We have business to take care of.” Eric nods slowly putting on his armor and following. Thomas leads Eric to a small river by a fishermans hut. A dark elf is fishing by the water’s edge. Thomas grunts whispering to Eric. “That elf down there is a Heretic and needs to be dealt with.” Eric is surprised by the sudden order but is fully willing to deal with the issue. “Yes Sir.” Eric says moving off to the elf. Eric taps the elf’s shoulder it standing to face him. “Oh, er hello sir. Can I help you?” Eric remains silent attempting to strike fear into the elf’s body. “Uhm.. Sir?” the elf replies shaking a bit. Eric speaks from behind his iron helmet. “Your Heresy taints these lands.” Eric draws his longblade. The elf jumps at the sudden loud noise of Eric’s blade. “Wait! what are you doing?” The elf shrieks. Eric says no more driving his blade into the elf’s chest. It slowly falls limp the body hitting the floor. Thomas arrives behind Eric once more. “Good,Good. I am proud of you young Squire.” They both move off into the night. After this, again, The Rose move to a new settlement called Ardbaille. Here Eric is Knighted and recognized as an asset to The Rose. They spent just a few years of time in this new home as they move to a new island by the name of Kalos. Eric Intends to spend the rest of his life dedicated to The Rose and her purposes.

Question Section - Answer with as much detail as necessary

 

Why does your character do what he/she does, what drives them to do it? What are his/her motives, and are there any complications that cause him/her to disregard them, or is it the other way around?

Eric is driven internally by his anger towards his father. Although it may not be his main priority, Inside of him he still wants revenge. Also, Eric has sworn an oath to The White Rose and will do anything necessary to follow that oath and protect Oren and her people. Eric will only disregard the oath to protect Oren if given specific orders to do so by Peter Chivay or Thomas Chivay themselves.

 

What situations does your character prepare for ahead of time? How does he/she do this?

Eric prepares for any and all attacks against Oren or The White Rose. Almost always Eric is seen in his Rose Tabard chainmail and has full Iron armor in his tent. An iron long sword and crossbow slung over his back at all times.

 

Does your character trust in himself, or does he believe his abilities are due to some other driving force? Does he boast the truth of it or suppress all hint of it?

What moral boundaries does your character adhere to, if any?

 

Eric only follows the Oath he has given to Oren. Eric is confident in the fact that The Rose is the protector of Oren and the Emperor. Eric also believes in following the directives of “The Creator” This is his god in which everything he does is based around. Including joining The White Rose.Eric is willing to do anything for these purposes. Eric may not be able to forgive himself for betraying just one of these things, let alone anyone else. Another moral code Eric follows is about women. Eric is completely in love with females. Eric will not harm a woman unless under DIRECT order. Otherwise, he will act as if she is a potential mate. BUT he does this on his own time. No member of the rose (unless eavesdropping) will see him doing such scandalous acts.

Strengths: Strong loyalty and devotion. Honor and leadership. Experience in battle. Love for house Chivay his leaders and mentors. Weaknesses: Eric is still haunted by his father and shows weakness if brought up. Talking about his father, Eric gets weaker. Not physically but mentally.

Eric is also extremely racist towards Dark Elfs. Eric may act out if any of these things are seen by him.

Even if that means killing himself. Eric has already thrown down his life for The Rose many times. in wars and engagements.

 

Does your character trust the words or actions of others? Why and to what extent?

Eric Trusts only House Chivay. He trusts his fellow rose and the Emperor himself. Eric doesn't trust officials or messengers because he has been tricked by many before. Lied to and made a fool, Eric only trusts High Command. Anyone else such as commoners Eric will leave alone unless they mess with Oren or The Rose.

 

Why do you as a player wish to and deserve to play a villain?

I myself have been playing LOTC for over a year now. I love the server and will be playing for as long as you guys keep running! I have been in many experiences seeing good RP and being pulled in to bad RP.  I have never tried a villain or any other type of player. I want to add something new to my experience on the server and hopefully add more fun to others as well.

 

Open Response - Answer at least five out of the seven listed, assume you are accepted for the Evils you applied for. Do not powergame, metagame, or do anything else illegal or unrealistic. Each scenario is designed with no particular objective in mind and is open ended deliberately. Assume your character is in each position, regardless of their normal situations:

 

A middle aged man, a young wife, and a small male child are walking down the Sanctuary Road together. The women walks with a long staff, and the man appears to have a scabbard at his side.

 

Eric would look to the small family nodding once quickly. Seeing the small child he stops. “Hello little one!” The kid looking up to Eric “er.. ello.”  looking scared Eric says “You look like a strong warrior! Your parents must be proud!” reassuringly. The kid gives a small grin “Oh yes! I am!” Eric looks to what looks to be the father of the child. “When this lad grows up, If you feel he needs a righteous path, send him to the White Rose.” The Father looks to the boy glancing back to Eric. “Understood Sir Knight.” He looks frightened not wanting his son to grow and be killed in battle. Eric gives a short smile moving off down the path.

 

You hear knocking on your door and go to answer. It turns out to be an angry looking woman with a large human behind her. She is telling you that you owe taxes to King ___ and must pay within the fortday.

 

Eric would be resting getting ready to train in the mourning. Eric hears a knock at the door pulling the covers of his bed off of him. Shaking his head quickly standing. “Hold a moment!” Eric yells getting his robe placing it over im. Eric walks to the door opening it. A woman with a huge man behind her asks for taxes. Eric Replies “Oh, I’m sorry for the misunderstanding miss. but I serve Emperor Godfrey and have no dues.” Presuming the lady understands Eric returns to his bed falling back to sleep. Presuming she persists, she states “No sir, I did not ask your profession, I ask for your coin in the name of Godfrey.” The guard in the back cracking his knuckles. Eric is shocked by the threatening gestures towards him. “If Godfrey requests my payment personally, I will not hesitate to give him my dues. Now please move along.” The woman scowles to Eric turning off quickly muttering to herself as she moves away. She lifts a hand signaling the Guard to follow her.

 

Sitting in a local tavern, you hear two men talking in hushed voices upstairs. Sneaking up the stairs, you see a man robed in black and a Warden. The man is revealing Necromancer plans to a guard. You can’t tell if the man in black is betraying the Necromancer’s, or if it is vice-versa.

 

((Skipped))

 

Two Guard tries to break up a fight between your acquaintance and two Goblins. Your friend slays one of the Guards as he approaches, causing the other Guard as well as the Goblins to unsheath their arms.

 

Eric and Temp are doing a small patrol around town. Moving down the path they hear some gobos speaking. Eric and Temp walk over to the gobos Temp pulling out his Crossbow. Temp yells to them calling the “Dirty gobos!” A guard sees Temp with a weapon and runs over sword drawn. Temp feeling threatened releasing a bolt to the guards neck. It connects killing the Guard instantly. The other Guard and gobos draw weapons and Eric and Temp do the same. I yell out “Guard! Weapon down We are with Oren!” If he places his weapon down we look to the gobos. If he attacks I bring an upwards slash to his torso putting him out of the fight. Temp ans Eric look to the Gobos. Temps begins reloading his crossbow as Eric charges in. Eric blocks the first attack sending a stab to the first gobo getting him in the stomach. Temp then lets his second bolt out of the crossbow it heading to the gobos chest. The arrow missing its mark Eric attempts to tackle the gobo wils its distracted. The gobo is taken to the ground. Eric drags him back to the keep and stringing him up in the dungeon. Eric asks “What god do you live under?” The goblin looks up to Eric. ”Krug” It replies . Eric then begins to torcher the gobo until its death.

 

As you turn the corner into a dimly lit alley, a pair of young female halflings instantly run up to you. They are begging for a donation of either minas or food.

Eric looks to the halflings smileing warmly. Eric always carrying a large amount of food offers them some bread. “Alright, have some bread.” The halflings look surprised that someone actually helped them. “Thank you much Sir!” Eric nods asking “What are you little ones doing in this alley? No place to live?” They all huddle together making a faint humming sound. “W-we are homeless. Left on the street to rot like a vegetable.” one steps forward saying. Eric Sighs wishing he could help.  He reaches into his pocket and gives them the rest of his bread. “Good luck little ones.” He says moving off down the alley, Hand on his hilt.

 

You are in the City of Arethor, in the city square. Quickly a noisy crowd of nobles and wealthy merchants form around you, mostly of humans, You abut other races as well. The crowd's loud chatter is silenced as the King walks out of the Keep, with several guards on either side of him, to address his people. The King begins to talk to the crowd about a plan of attack against the Neromancer's. The crowd is very packed and doesn't leave a lot of space for free movement, but you are able to push through people.

 

((Skipped))

 

An old lady has fallen by a tree on the road to Normandor. She calls for your help just as you round the corner. She appears to be holding onto a bag, tucked under her arm. Upon closer inspection you notice three others around her, some armed, but all dead.

 

Eric moves around the corner seeing a woman on the ground calling for help. Eric moves over quickly hand placed on his weapons hilt. Eric seeing the bodies raises and eyebrow. “What's in that bag?” the woman looks up to Eric “A.....Dagger.” she says her voice shaking as she speaks. “Throw it to me. Now.” Eric says sharply. The woman smirks a bit replying “Okay, you asked.” She quickly stands up throwing the dagger to Eric’s leg. Eric anticipates the throw after watching her stand moving his leg out of the way. Eric draws his sword saying “Nice try miss.” The woman looks completely traumatized her face losing all color. Eric charges in swipeing his blade through her neck decapitating her. Eric spits at the woman on the floor. “Filthy thief.” he states continuing his patrol.
