The skin is nearing completion, but I am still finishing up a touch, the old robes have been destroyed by years of [RP] Use. In this sense, the seamstresses of the temple, of which lore is being made. Sow a new robe, for the servants of the Triumvirate.

A Lost traveler come to the Sanctuary and asks, "Monk, where am I and how might I find my way?" How do you respond?: I would respond like this: "This is the Wilven Sanctuary. This is the middle ground between all of the kingdoms, the peace in the midst of all the chaos. As for your way, that choice is yours, and yours alone. Any path could be 'your' way, you just have to pick."

Your Monk's Name: Caradoc

Have you read and agree to follow the rules?:

Yes, most definitely.

Your Monk's Personality:

Caradoc is often a caring person, though one would not find that from first meeting or knowing him. He tends to have a strict sense on things, preferring them to be in perfect order. slow and steady wins the race they say, and he tends to do just that. Caradoc is a patient man, and will speak his mind should he see it fit. Though he is old, he makes up for it by being wise, and possessing much knowledge of things in Asulon due to his past. Caradoc is able to fight with a staff decently well, though he is not much of a fighter since his travelling days were over.

A Very Brief Bio (Just a basic bio, not nearly as long as the one you used when applying for the server):

Caradoc before the moment he decided to try and join the monks he was a daily traveler, exploring the world and seeking knowledge out to learn. He made much progress, travelling by horse usually. Mainly, he did not make many friends due to himself being busy and moving sometimes, but sometimes there was the occasional lady that he took a fancy to. Relationships did not last long when he moved onto the next area, where even maybe another lady awaited him. He might have to taken to trickery back in the day, he is much different now from learning around the world. There was a time when he was married to a woman named Synthia, but she had passed on due to age, a gentle death it was. Caradoc didn't grieve, but instead retired from his travelling and headed into trying to become a monk to be able to help people in their troubles through out Asulon.

Why your character wishes to join the monks:

Due to his age mainly, he had decided to retire from being a traveler and is now trying to become a monk. Caradoc think it would be good for him to help people instead of being lazy as most old men would do. After all, why waste the rest of your life when there is much more to do?

Why you as a player deserve to be a monk, and want to:

I feel as if it's not something that you deserve, as it is more of a responsibility. As a monk you are a model for what the new players should RP like, and I'd like to help them get better or help them adjust further to the server.

Who were the Celestial Triumvirate?:

They are the demigods of the moon, sun and stars. The three were otherwise known as Keldrith, Rellenia and Tariel. These three possessed the power to grant their followers the ability to heal with magic. Also, enchanting the temple when finished to it would never fall short to any disease or illness.

A Lost traveler come to the Sanctuary and asks, "Monk, where am I and how might I find my way?" How do you respond?:

With the cock of his head, Caradoc looks to the younger man, a small grin going over his face.

"You have arrived at the Cloud Temple my boy... where us Monks reside and heal the wounded." Caradoc replies to the man.

Looking the boy up and down he notices that he is a Human from his tone of voice and the way he speaks. Slowly raising his finger, he sternly points to the blue opening inside the Sanctuary.

"That is where you wish to go my boy, the human kingdoms lie beyond where you would find the best opportunities." Caradoc then says with an eager tone.

With the motion of a small wave, they separate from each other, Caradoc wondering what the man has in store for him on his adventures.

Your Monk's Name: Soh'Rog

Have you read and agree to follow the rules?: Yes.

Your Monk's Personality:

Soh'Rog is a quiet, but stern and bitter individual. Never one to mind or sometimes even tolerate humor and generally social contact, he tends to himself while scouring the temple in search of things to spend his time with. Said things would most likely be reading or studying, napping, practicing healing techniques, praying, and tending to his thoughts.

Soh'Rog takes to donning the simple monks' garb, however, he tends to keep his hood on most of the time; because of this, his skin is paled, giving him an almost sickly complexion because of such extensive bouts of wearing clothing on almost all parts of his body. He is high-elven and has crimson eyes that may seem intimidating to most when he is seen with his hood on.

A Very Brief Bio (Just a basic bio, not nearly as long as the one you used when applying for the server):

Soh'Rog can be considered ancient because of his lengthy age of 1,056 - he has lived this long because he was sheltered most of his life in the Cloud Temple in Aegis. Even from growing into a regular, masculine high-elven male, he always stuck to the temple and kept supporting it and treating it as if it was his home. Most of the monks questioned why Soh'Rog was content in staying in the temple and assisting the monks at the same time, with the little reward they would give him. Soh'Rog would not give much of an answer besides stating that it was his "calling" or "purpose" to assist the followers of God.

Upon arriving the shores of Asulon and watching the Followers of the Triumvirate grow, Soh'Rog decided it was his turn to assist the sickly, weak and half-dead instead of the monks. After contacting the Head Monk, he was brought into training and trained for over fifty years, determined to become as close to the religion and it's gods as possible. He insisted he was to be taught traditional techniques of healing rather than the magic despite his teachers' urges to educate Soh'Rog of the magical abilities.

To this day he simply acts as one of the monks and takes up the role as one, healing and assisting the weak who dwell about the temple in search for need.

Why your character wishes to join the monks:

Soh'Rog assumed himself as a "destined supporter" of the Monks and people in general despite what opinions he may have on them. Having no other goal in life besides the one he has assumed himself, he has taken the chance to join and fulfill his desire in life.

Why you as a player deserve to be a monk, and want to:

I wish to spread role-play around the temple and teach the new players how to role-play better in turn. I've always thought of becoming a monk and almost suggested the thought of player-controlled monk characters in Aegis when the urge came up.

Who were the Celestial Triumvirate?:

The demigods of the Sun, Stars and Moon - their names being Keldrith, Tariel and Rellenia. They hold the ability to give the followers, i.e the monks, magic to heal others.

A Lost traveler come to the Sanctuary and asks, "Monk, where am I and how might I find my way?" How do you respond?:

"This temple can be considered the center of the land, child," Soh'Rog says softly, gesturing to the four roads high-lighted by their respected colors; red, blue yellow and green. "Follow which-ever road you please and you will either end up in the wilds or a large settlements, mayhaps even a city. This sanctuary, however, is the domain of the Celestial rulers and followers of said rulers; tread with respect here, my sisters and brothers offer nothing but kindness and we expect such in return."

Upon ending his small explanation, the traveler gives thanks and promises not to spread any spite about the temple like so many others do, and heads off toward the human lands. Despite the strangers' word, Soh'Rog will keep an eye on him.
