How to Become a Mori: The New System

So you have decided to enter the unique and exotic culture that is the Mori’quessir, Vendui! Because the goal of the Mori is to create a tight knit group of high level roleplayers, there are several steps one must take to become a Mori.

Using the form below please create a well thought out proto-Mori character. Reading a few of our guides and lore posts will help quite a lot with this. One to two paragraphs for appearance and history will suffice. Please note your character should be in their early teens or still a child. ABSOLUTELY NO ADULTS.

Here are the current females (and their houses) who can produce children:

House List:

Alean’ndar: Descendants of this bloodline have amber eyes. This house also requires its members to wear a special eye tattoo and earring. All hair, clothing and tattoo options past that are up to the member.

Duskryn: A house based around prompting rights for half breeds. No discernible features.

Miiystra: Currently proto-characters are not allowed to be born into this houses due to its ruling power. Miiystra members have an extraordinarily trait bonded to only their bloodline, a unqiue eye color: iced blue irises, with a wolf grey sclera.

Commoners: Not belonging to any noble family or of smaller families. They are the working class. Subservient to both the priestesses and the noble Mori. Commoners are required to bow to female noble Mori.

Female List:

Tinost'i* -

0Altariel0 - Commoner

Raes* - Serenityonyx - Duskryn

Mayaval* - Serenityonyx - Duskryn

Rilrae* - Nemiisae - Duskryn

Tortlar - Duskryn

Auvryar - Alean'ndar

Teken'ani - Alean'ndar

Rilynervs - Commoner

Zauviir - Commoner

*Real players that must be asked OOCly before you can claim them as a parent.

Details

The Mori'quessir body is highly adapted to survive in its subterranean environment: with excellent darkvision and innate resistance to poisons, the Mori are a hearty race with distinct advantage in living in the often times dangerous habitat they have settled in. Unlike their surface cousins, they have developed more compact frames Mori tend to be quite lean, as they do not constantly accumulate fat for the hard times; instead, the body efficiently leeches nutrients from the morsels of food they consume over a period of two days. Because of the environment in which they live -- they have adapted well to limited food supplies, in general, they do not eat a great deal, and the foods they do eat are generally not rich ( a usual diet would consist of a variety of lichen or small insects and mammals ).

The Mori are known to have lifespans far beyond that of humans and comparable with the rest of the elves, although usually somewhat shorter -- this being a cultural cause more than a racial one. Because of their long lives, the mori develop and age at a dramatically slowed rate in comparison to other races, the cause of this is unknown and mostly unquestioned.

Age chart in mori years -- The bracketed ages are the human equivalent age

Infancy: 1 - 25 ( 5 - 125 )

Childhood: 26 - 50 years ( 130 - 250 )

Adolescence: 51 - 119 years ( 255 - 595 )

Adulthood: 120 - 199 years ( 600 - 995 )

Middle Age: 200 - 299 years ( 1000 - 1495 )

Old: 300 - 369 years ( 1500 - 1845 )

Venerable: 370+ years ( 1900 - 3000 )

The fertility of females is not outstanding, though it is uncertain whether it is linked to the environmental and economic situation that effects this aspect of the Mori'quessir body. They breed at a faster rate than humans and their surface cousins, often remaining pregnant for a period of 9 months.

The Application:

MC Name:

Mori Name:

Age (In Mori and Human):

Mother's Name:

Appreance:

Brief History:

Skin:

Now please post your application in the application suforum here. To start, seek out a member of your character’s house or start rping with a Mori on the street. They shall begin your education into the Mori, in either a good or bad way. It is up to the character. It is also suggested that you read the wiki and guides to supplement your education as well as check the sub-forum regularly. Once you have proven yourself to be a mature and knowledgeable roleplayer your proto-character will be allow to enter adulthood.

It is also good to remember that Mori who go against the status quo tend to be labeled as heretics by the Priestesses of the city and sacrificed to the Mother. As a rule of thumb most Mori know from childhood to:

1. Always wear a veil on the surface.

2. Always treat outsiders as stupid, blasphemous, filth.

3. Never remain on the surface or outside the elven peninsula for extended periods of time.

((ooc note: Again, I apologize for the balrog event. This is my way of getting to know the Mori community, so I won't make a mistake like that again. I intend to focus primarily on this character.))

[Watyll 1104]

Understood.

[meg 1994]

Question, if we make an alternate account for this, will we still need to make an alternate account application?

[Sagwort 833]

Has my Mori been deemed inactive? T_T

[meg 1994]

Yes I believe it is still a requirement.

Should I make the Mori app first, or the Alt account app?

[Izo (charles/Sealhorn) 16]

is it still possible to join via the old application as a nonchild? incidentally wrote a character I rather like that's a late adolescent bordering towards adulthood (in her 80s mori-age)

[Clue 0]

For this "proto-character", is it the SAME character that we officially apply as, or just a trial character to make sure we know what we're doing? This system personally seems rather confusing for would-be applicants such as myself.

[michael p 0]

Do we have to have a previous charecter?

[Danny 2232]

Moved to the Great Library. It shall be sorted into appropriate category shortly.
