[AlphaMoist 1707]

Name: Ophelia

Age: 110

Race:  Mali’ame

 

What are you good at?

I’m adept at cooking and baking, which I suppose would mean I’m rather good at collecting and measuring ingredients and such. I can also clean very well. I will admit that I haven’t accumulated many skills that could be deemed more useful, but perhaps this is my chance to change that.

 

What do you know about alchemy?

What I’ve heard of alchemy is only from what I’ve read in books. Having never seen its practice in person, all I know is that it involves mixing various herbs and such together in order to combine their special properties into elixers and such that provide various effects derived from those properties.

 

Why do you want to learn?

I rather enjoy learning new things, and I’ve taken a basic herbology course within the Grove. I love all things involving plants, and the opportunity to delve deeper into more than just taking care of them intrigues me. A man by the name of Iarias informed me to fill this out if I were interested in learning more about herbs, so I’ve decided to do just that.

 

Why should I teach you?

I think you’ll find that teaching a student as eager to learn as I am will be both an enticing and more than rewarding experience for yourself as a teacher. I love asking questions and participating in learning environments, and such areas are among the places I feel most comfortable. I can’t offer you money or anything physical in return, really, but I’m more than willing to help with whatever you may need help with, whether it be related to studies or not. I do not wish to be anything like a burden, and I’m willing to match the effort you place into me

 

Are you clever or dumb?

I suppose that’s up to you to decide, once we meet in person.

[Gustando 1471]

Name: Elnirith

Age: 205
Race: High Elf 

 

What are you good at?

I’m pretty good at fishing, mediocre at swinging steel, walking, used to brew elixirs... forgot how to do that, though

 

What do you know about alchemy?

Alchemy is a power or a process that changes or transforms something in an enigmatic, impressive way – a philosophy aiming to achieve the discovery of a universal cure for an illness for the benefit and in order to prolong life. I understand the law of equivalent exchange, albeit not how to utilize such, and a bit of the mainstream herbs used in modern alchemy.

 

Why do you want to learn?

I wish to, once again, touch up on the art – re-learn it. I hadn’t practiced the aformentioned in a good while, and i see this as a perfect opportunity to not only do such, but learn new things too from an experienced ‘thaumaturge’

 

Why should i teach you?

I believe i should be given a chance because i once was a practitioner of voidal magick - knowing firsthand how such chaotic art is practiced. Disliking such, and ever since wishing to get into something more civilized, natural even. Seeing this parchment, i find this the perfect opportunity.

 

Are you clever or dumb?

That’s for you to find out..

 

[Nozgoth 2991]

Name: Saevel Venleth

Age: 56

Race: Mali’thill

 

What are you good at? 

I am adept at gardening and herb collecting. As well as writing, cooking and geography which are skills I have picked up in the down time of my studies. I can also make a few concoctions.

 

What do you know about alchemy?

I have thoroughly studied an alchemical map that made its way to my lab. I have a decent amount of knowledge of the basics and fundamentals of alchemy and its meaning. I have also delved into natural philosophy. Finally, I can make an assortment of different potions and elixirs, among other things, though only for healing and treatment.

 

Why do you want to learn?

I wish to further pursue my studies and satiate the ever-growing grumble of hunger for innovation of alchemy.

 

Why should I teach you?

I have always proven to be a valuable student and asset within a work and learning place. I am always willing to learn, and take critique for the peculiarly precise craft that alchemy is. I hope that you will soon see that I can repay you in any way, such as helping out, scavenging for resources and more.

 

Are you clever or dumb?

I consider myself eager to learn, as such, I have an expanding bank of knowledge though there is infinite room for improvement.

[Archipelego 2096]

Name: Nicholas

Age: 23

Race:  Human

 

What are you good at?

I am a young man and as such I haven't had the lifetime needed to acquire many skills. As a youth, however, I did farm labor. As such, basic woodworking, knowledge and skill in agriculture, and cobbling are all things I am proficient at.

 

What do you know about alchemy?

Not much, I confess. Footnotes and mentions in tomes, references in conversation. From what I have gleamed, it's manipulating natural properties to achieve a new result. Through herbs, and the like.

 

Why do you want to learn?

My knowledge of the natural world is lacking severely. Only recently have I emerged from my shell and truly learned a bit about the world I live in. I am quite tired of moving around the world slackjawed, so to speak, and from what I can gleam a study of the alchemical seems to be a good way to learn more of natural processes and of the world at large.

 

Why should I teach you?

I am maybe not the most knowledgeable of men at this current time, but I consider myself an apt student. I am capable of hearing, understanding, and discussing what may be taught to me, and I take such lessons seriously and with appreciation for whoever may teach them. If I prove myself worthy of tutorage, I won't squander the time you take for me.

 

Are you clever or dumb?

I am but a man, who has said and done foolish things. This is twice as true, as I am a youth. With that said, however, I am capable of learning and fixing my mistakes. I strive to never make the same mistake twice.

A message is finally delivered to the Alchemist’s Guild.

 

 

Saevel, why would I teach you? What would I teach you, even? A friend of mine told me long ago of your guild, if you already have your hands on my father’s map, enough knowledge to further your own studies, AND assumedly your very own workplace, there’s nothing that I can do for you!

[exanimated 1360]

Name: Zolvan

Age: 87

Race: Mali’ame

 

What are you good at?

I am good at quite a few things as I have acquired many skills in my short life time, I am a skilled warrior, a quick learner, and some skills in writing and note taking. In my youth my father had me work in picking herbs in such for a family friend who practiced Alchemy, though I have not done so in many years. I would say my biggest boon is my curiosity, over the last 50 or so years of my life I have been moving from place to place, learning and seeking out knowledge wherever I may find it.

 

What do you know about alchemy?

Not much, I have studied a few book and seen it practiced in small amounts, though I have never taken it upon myself until this moment to take the initiative to try and learn such an art. All I really know is that Alchemy is a concoction of herbs boiled down to a liquid state and combined to create different potions and elixir.

 

Why do you want to learn?

From my childhood until now Alchemy and the mixture of academical concoctions has interested me, the time one takes to master such a craft and the patience they must have to do so. I want to gain these skills and apply them to other areas of my life as well as fulfill my childhood dream and learn how one creates these elixirs and potions.

 

Why should I teach you?

Although I can not give you some large reason why you should teach me over everyone else who applies, or tell you I shall be the best student you’ve ever had. I’d like to say I am a quick learner and able to be a good student who will listen to you with joy and gather any knowledge you see fit it give me. I will gladly take what you find me worthy of learning, I will take it seriously and never squander the knowledge you bestow.

 

Are you clever or dumb?

I like to think I am fairly clever, I’ve spent most of my life moving around and gaining favor in different areas of the world. Through my travel I have acquired knowledge and something most valuable, common sense.

[Sapientae 4]

Name: Sapientae

Age: 52

Race: Elf

 

What are you good at? I can shoot a bow. I can swing a sword, yet I cannot heal. Apart from that i cannot do much that others can. I suppose i can read, write, think, analyse even, but that’s about it.

 

What do you know about alchemy? I’ve read books about the 4 main symbols (earth, air, water, fire) and what they represent. I know of some herbs that represent the aspects and their properties. I also know the dangers of alchemy, such as homunculi, chimeras, the philosophers stone. It must be noted, however, that most of my knowledge comes from books i’ve found in libraries across the land, not from experience.

 

Why do you want to learn? To help those who cannot help them selves. Also to satiate my lust for knowledge and experience (I find alchemy very interesting and engaging, even if it does lead to a few explosions).

 

Why should I teach you? I suppose because i have previous knowledge, even if it is only from books, which dictates my dedication to the art. Whether or not you think that is enough is up to you.

 

Are you clever or dumb: Depends on how to measure cleverness or stupidity. I’m stupid at things i have no experience at. I’m smart at things i do have experience in. Don’t ask a goldfish to climb a tree, or it will spend its whole life thinking its stupid.

[TimberBuff 2122]

Name: 

Ciliren Vethrai

Age: 

25

Race: 

Mali'aheral

 

What are you good at?

I can swing steel well enough to protect myself, and I have experience in a laboratory environment. I know how to gather herbs for myself, and have done so in the past. I am a practicing physician, and have stitched countless wounds at this point. My favorite pastime is the creation of Sorvians, clay constructs that are a joy to be around. 

 

What do you know about alchemy?

I have read multiple books on alchemy and alchemical theory, and have spent a hefty amount on more books to complete my collection. As said before, I have collected herbs in the past for their base properties, and have been able to use them effectively in helping the injured. 

 

Why do you want to learn?

The primary reason would simply be that there is knowledge to gain, and I would like to gain it. The other reasons are mostly my intense interest in the subject from my countless time reading various books on the wonders that the science can do. Curiosity, a desire to learn, and a duty to heal all give me reason to want to learn. 

 

Why should I teach you?

I like to believe I am a rather apt student, with a passion for learning things in the world. I study and look into various things and topics, with the pursuit of alchemy at the top of these subjects. A mixture of a passionate and eager learner would surely make the experience enjoyable for the both of us. 

 

Are you clever or dumb?

Giving either answer is either vain or foolish, so I will not say either. I will say that I know some things, and do not know others. There is a broad spectrum of intelligence in all matter of subjects, so we cannot quantify intelligence in any meaningful way.

A bird built of clockwork and mechanism seeks the woman out, returning her answer to this question torn off from the rest, circled and underlined a few times over. “Genius!” is written beside it.

 

Come by the factory sometime. I don’t have the time to teach alchemy, but I can show you something else that you’ll absolutely be interested in.
