Are there any rule(s) that confuse you or don’t make sense? (If so we can help clear it up! You will not be denied for having a question on the rules): The banning of underground structures. As a prospective dwarf player, this makes me distressed and rabid.

Definitions:

What is roleplaying?: The acting of roles other than your own identity, playing as a character with alternative emotions, compulsions and history to the one which you actually have in real life.

What is metagaming?: When the character uses or displays knowledge of information that they shouldn't be aware of in the context of their character’s roleplaying experiences, i.e. using knowledge you have obtained out of character, and utilising that knowledge in a roleplaying environment.

What is powergaming?: Roleplaying as if you are the controlling force in the world rather than as a character who actually has relatively little bearing on the world around him. To powergame is to not acknowledge the capability/influence/power of other characters or world events (both active and/or logical or possible) and to far overweigh the importance/weight of one's own actions.

 

In-Character Information:

Character’s name: Throbar Crow-Barr

Character’s gender: Male

Character’s race: Forest Dwarf

Character’s age: 59

 

Biography: When he was young, his mother left his father before he was born, and she was, to his knowledge, subsequently left behind in the mass exodus from Thales. Throbar was raised entirely by his already overburdened father. Throbar’s father, Thomms, was a clerk working under a prominent thane in the Thanes’ Council. However, upon the restoration of the Lords’ Council, political reshuffling resulted in the discharging of his father, and the destitution of the already heavily indebted family. Thomms Crow-Barr resorted to sell-sword work in order to maintain financial security and it was here that Throbar learned the trade under him, poor-paying though it was. The two often worked together or alone in the fiercest of conditions across Athera - from the frozen Northern Mountains, to expeditions through Eruthos Canyon and Deus Proditor, as well as body-guarding and raids into the Orc-lands of Kal'Agnar. Inevitably however, the stress of the changes in their circumstances, the loss of his prestige and the toll and danger of his travelling-fighting occupation ultimately resulted in Throbar’s father dying of a heart attack, very shortly followed by consumption by the monster he was fighting at just that moment.

Following his father's death it has been Throbar’s ambition to restore the Crow-Barr family name to its past glory and to develop himself into the finest bureaucrat of the age. However, his grudges against the Lord's Council for taking his job away have encouraged him to seek alternative employment, particularly within both city-states and the Orenian Empire. Unfortunately, the fragile nature of the many city-states and towns in the South-East Adrallan region of Athera caused his employment to end without it properly beginning, and he even struggled to hold down a job in the more stable city-state of Al'ras. Furthermore, his ill-temper has worked against his ambitions and caused him to ruin several potentially lucrative opportunities - particularly those that arose through the political instability and internal change brought about by Oren's internal wars and war with Urguan, as well as the Dwarf-Orc War. Even then, said wars made it easy to make ends meet as a sell-sword and made for comfortable living. However, Throbar's heart still aches to fulfill his dreams and his arrival in the Isles of Vaillor seems like a perfect opportunity to strive to once again become a great bureaucrat.

 

Personality Traits: Nit-picking, intelligent, quick-tempered. Often Machiavellian and cunning.  

Ambitions: To become a great bureaucrat and wielder of power and influence, perhaps even to take revenge on the Lord's Council who he often cites as the indirect murderers of his father.

Strengths/Talents: Physically strong, literate, entrepreneurial and good with business.

Weaknesses/Inabilities: Lacking official bureaucratic training, passive-aggressive, Ill-tempered.

Appearance: Roughly 4ft 3, but with a weight of roughly 10 stone due to his muscular build. Brown-haired, wearing a chainmail shirt (tucked in) with a business cravat around his neck. Would be described as looking “very well-put-together”, but with an edge of ruggedness that tends to happen when you wear suit trousers into battle.

Before I begin I will clarify you on the rule that you are confused on. When the rule states no underground structures it is referring to structures that generally make no RP sense. If you have a huge underground city with no air-vents or ventilation throughout the living area people will clearly die. It goes the same for structures underground that have no supports, it could easily collapse in and destroy the city. If that does not answer your question please go ahead and take a screenshot of the rule you need clarification on and Private Message it to me so I can better explain it. Now onto the review!
