Character Name: Fujimoto

What is your Race?: Human

Biography(This should include the history of your character and his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.): Fujimoto was born in the eastern islands of Aegis. He was born to a family of fishermen, and quickly learned the trade. Fujimoto has lived 40 years as a master angler, and has built a reputation as such. He is very stately in nature. Despite making little wages as a fisherman, he has fished many treasures in his time, accumulating wealth that way. Fujimoto stands at around 6 feet tall, and 200 pounds. His most notable physical feature is his body-wide marking, made from a traditional island tattoo process.

Your characters ambitions: Fujimoto strives to be the head of his fishing town, and eliminate any type of neediness between his fellow villagers.

Out in the Wilds, your character comes across a small cottage. Outside, there appears to be an elf struggling combat with two bandits. What does your character do? Fujimoto would try to shout out to the bandits, hoping they would run. He is a pacifist by nature, however he can defend himself if needed. If the bandits do not run, Fujimoto would try his best to pay them off, so they would leave.

Your character walks up to a shop in the middle of Al'Khazar. "Hello, my good sir!" says the shop owner. "What may I help you with today?" How does your character answer? My character would politely greet the shop owner, and then barter with him, hoping to sell his day's catch.

A very interesting application indeed. Unique to say the least but I am afraid I am going to have to deny you :(

Your application has been:

But don't loose hope! After two days you can re-apply which gives you plenty of time to fix up your application and plan it out, as well as use all the advice I am about to give you to make it spot on. Also check out the links at the bottom of this page, trust me they really help.

First of all your biography needs a little more work. I would like you to include some lore from the world of Aegis which you can find in the wiki link at the bottom of this post. I would also like you to lengthen it and include some of your characters history, what was it like for him growing up? Where did he grow up?

Your need to change your ambitions a little bit. As I have no current knowledge of any current "native" like fishing villages you should change his ambition from "his fishing town" to perhaps creating a fishing town? Or perhaps to leave his fishing town and to do blah blah blah.

I would like to see at least a PARAGRAPH for each role-play question. You have written a good answer for the first one, but for the shop question do not just write a single line, write a full scene. Write the actions of all involved in the situation and what they say, how they interact with each other.

Other than these points a very nice application. After you post your next application in 2 days send me a PM for it to be reviewed faster as I am pretty darn sure your next one will be perfect ^^

Do not post another application within 2 days or that application will be skipped.

If you need any help don’t be afraid to send me a PM on the forums.

Good luck :)
