[Denied] Penthe's Kharajyr Application

[AlphaCentaurus 173]

MC Username:

AlphaCentaurus

Rp Username (be sure to include the correct prefix, look up on info thread):

Si'Penthe

Character Skillset:

Handy with a bow or arrow, but slightly less so in a simple brawl. He doesn't mine, farm, or anything similar, because of a combination of ineptitude and believing himself above what he considers trivialities. ((I'll work the stats out when I come to that point - currently, my stats are spread around all sorts of fields.))

Appearance (age, SUBRACE, gender):

Like most Kha'Pantera, Penthe has a glossy black coat. The male Kharajyr is physically mature at twenty five, and given a fair amount of lean muscle for it. His eyes are light blue, closer to the icy side of the spectrum. His clothing varies, but generally keeps a consistent loin cloth with bracelets of varying sizes on his wrists.

Personality:

Extremely prideful, which often blinds him to certain basic facts. He is unusually empathetic for his fellow Kharajyr, taking great stock in friends. This leads him to an extremely trusting personality. If he dislikes someone, he dislikes them with a passion, and often acts fairly irrational in regards to them. His empathy is completely lost with non-Kharajyr, something not unusual for his people.

Please include a short bio of your character's life:

(If required, I will do a longer bio, but I've been extremely busy lately, and so will not be doing the massive biographies typical of my applications.)

Penthe was born in a well-to-do Kharajyr family. His childhood was well-cushioned, if not precisely pampered. He did not have any real desires, or ideas of what he wanted to do with his life. His parents, however, firmly wanted him to become involved in the priesthood, a job they considered suiting of their only son. Unfortunately, Penthe was not particularly enthusiastic about this idea. As he neared his fifteenth birthday, it climaxed in a particularly heated exchange with his parents, after which he was promptly ejected from the family and put out on the streets with a comparatively meager sum of cash with which to live his life. Trying to make the best of it, he found a simple job as a carrier. Realizing that he had completely fallen from his position of luxury, he made it his primary goal to get back to the place he was. He also made a solid effort to completely forget about his past family - an understandable desire for such a boy.

Character's ambitions:

Taking a great deal of stock in social exchanges, Penthe makes it a priority to rise socially. Often, he considers the accumulation of material wealth to be much the same, as monetary matters are one of the main factors in social classes. The general focus of his goals are consistent, however - making himself up to be a greater person in the eyes of those around him.

_---Situational Rp Questions---_

1.

As you travel through the Karakatuan jungle, you spot a human trespassing on your nation's lands. He approaches you, obviously distressed, and asks for any food, water, or shelter that you can provide, then tells you that he has been lost in the area for days without any proper supplies. How do you react?:

Note: Should I have a VA, given Penthe's personality, he would most likely simply enslave the man. Because I cannot go on that assumption, I will go with a slightly less realistic scenario.

Penthe looks at the man distastefully. He recommends finding his way off of this land quickly before turning on his heeling and walking off. Trying to find the nearest clump of friends, he informs them of the man, letting them do what they would wish with the information. It's fairly predictable how the scene will end, however.

2.

As you romp through the lands of the "apes", you come across a tavern. Inside this tavern, a Dwarf notices you and starts gawking at you, then begins to speak.

"Oi! I gots a bowl of cream for you, Kitty! Ha! I'd bet you would make a nice throw rug, wouldn't ya, ya mangy furball?!"

He continues act generally as racist as possible. What do you do?:

Penthe hardly hesitates. He doesn't speak to the dwarf, but instead simply stands and walks to him. Grabbing the small man by the front of his shirt, he picks up the bowl of soup on the table in front of him and slams it into the dwarf's face, the viscous liquid dribbling down his front. Throwing him back against the wall, he exits the tavern as swiftly as possible, wondering why he came inside in the first place. Behind him, he can already hear scattered laughter for the humiliated dwarf.

3.

One of your fellow Kharajyr and a close friend of yours comes to your dwelling in the middle of the night and begins to pound on your door. After you let him in, he confesses to killing another Kharajyr over a slice of cake. What do you do in response?

Penthe pleads with his friend not to force him to make this decision, but the other Kharajyr continues to beg for help. Steeling himself, Penthe tells his friend that he won't call the guard, but only if he leaves this instant. It's definitely a compromise, but there's not much he can do. Regretting not helping him more, he shakes his head, closing the door behind the departed man.

Do you swear to follow the Tlatlanni and uphold his law, and do you swear to hold Metztli and all of her actions as sacred?

Yes.

Please include a screenshot or 3D render of your character's skin

Note: If I get accepted, I will probably ask someone for a custom skin. In the meantime, this is a quick and simple edit of Darrian's alternate skin base.

I know you're probably not supposed to +1 or -1 applications, but Kvothe is incredible at role-playing and is mature/respectful OOC. I think you should consider this carefully!

[Praetor 1550]

DON'T POST ON APPS! I SAID IT 500 TIMES! >.< As I said before, I don't care how good they are, I cant simply accept somebody on his RP-ing skills, or It would be greatly biased. App under review.

DENIED

Expand upon your open questions, and add detail. Once done, I will review.

Wait 24 hours.
