Definitions

In your own words define the following terms. Do not take any definitions from elsewhere!:

 

Role-playing: Rping is sort of a method of story telling. Multiple people get together and create a character to exist in a universe/world which is designed by a GM/DM (or some other sort of leader). In this world each character goes about their lives while interacting with the many other characters. Its sort of like a novel is being with a number of different authors who all write from the point of view of another character.

 

Meta-gaming: This offense is when a person takes advantages of certain aspects of the way the RP is done through parts of it that are not RP‘d. These typically are: using Out Of Character (OOC) knowledge in character, taking advantage of glitches or loopholes in the game, abusing plugins, and griefing to gain access. To be more specific about using OOC knowledge it can be taken from OOC chat, dynmaps, personal knowledge you have but gained without being in character ((ex. A friend shows you the combination lock he built. You saw it OOC, and thusly can’t have your character know about that lock or its combination)).

 

Power-emoting: is basically power-gaming or god-modding. Its very simple in that you have your character do certain actions which are extremely overpowered and excessive in almost every way. You basically make you’re character perfect and well god like. They might block every attack, always get headshots, or be able to summon demons who devour everyone and then give them a cookie. It ruins the point of Rping as it makes your character too strong and have no issues along with it being a pain for everyone else.

Complete the following biography on your character:

 

Full Name:  Jercio Chirr

Current Age: 148

Sub-race (if any): wood elf

 

Past / History: Jercio like many elves these days was an only child. His parents Kane and Laera were common folk wood elves though a trickle of human blood was there on the mother‘s side. The community in which Jercio grew up had its fair share of half-breeds. It was a small out of the way village, so the mingling wasn’t too surprising. Jercio grew up alongside a number of half-blood children. Some were more human others more elvish and vice versa. Jercio was so barely affected by his blood that he was nearly considered a pure blood. That factor never divided him from the other young ones, but it did show as years went by. As an elf he lived much longer then the humans and out lived a few half elves. He learned it as part of his life that people die, but watching friends wither way at old age was not something he accepted quickly. Some of his dearest friends were humans. When they were old men he was still a boy, but he never let this get in his way. He was able to take in the same knowledge as his aging friends and would live his childhood among them.

 

As the decades past Jercio watched new generations come. He never forgot his old friends and often would visit their children and grandchildren. It was in his blood to take care of his pack. His family was proud to be called Wolf, as was he. Jercio made it his duty to protect these people since he had been blessed with a long life.

 

By about his eighties many of Jercio’s old friend’s family’s moved away. The small village had become crowded, and never seemed to expand. With no reason to stay in the village besides a simple job as a hunter, Jercio left his home and headed out into the wilds.

 

Jercio was the still equivalent of a young human male when he left home, and in more than just physical maturity. He was brash, energetic, and searching for his place. He’d seen generations go by before him, and here he was a young elf with many centuries before him.

 

In the wilds, hunting and Jercio’s many long years of learning how to co-exist with nature kept him alive. Jercio knew how to snipe almost any wild creature in a way to let it exit this state without pain. From there he’s use everything. If it was a chicken? He’d pluck the feathers for arrows, use the bones for tools and to calm the wolves down, the least edible parts like the feet and beak were good for trading to the occasional potion brewer he’d see in towns, of course he’d eat the meat, and the remaining food was to be bait.

 

The wolves were one sort of creature who seemed to always follow him. Perhaps he seemed like prey, or they smelled the food he carried, but they never seemed aggressive. Jercio would spot them, and they’d dash off into the woods. Their chorus of howls would even lull Jercio to sleep at night on occasion. Perhaps it was his ancestors watching over him, perhaps it was just nature, or maybe nothing.

 

So there Jercio was for nearly thirty years. He tried to comprehend the ways of nature. How so many glorious creations, the trees, the grass, the animals, and the life in all of them was so fragile. The questions consumed him for those years. He needed to know why his dear friends could not live long like him, and how the world was so easily destroyed. As a child he did not learn much of the origin. He knew that a god had created the world, and of the four brothers who were the ancestors of the races, but he did not know of the darkness that visited this world. That is until he came upon a small manor.

 

The manor was owned by a human lord named Thomas Riecher. The man was somewhere in the middle of his lifespan, but in those short years had made quite the collection of old books and other artifacts. The man was a kind reasonable gentlemen who allowed Jercio to stay for a few nights at a low cost. Though most would see the fee a rude gesture Jercio saw it as the man simply being logical. While Jercio stayed there he spent many hours in the library reading through the ancient tomes. At one point the man asked Jercio for help decoded a few damaged sheets of paper with elvish writing on them, but Jercio was unable to assist since he knew only his last name in that tongue. The book which caught Jercio’s attention for the longest was one detailing the origin of the world. The tome itself was very old, and Thomas said it was a very early copy of Chronicles of the ancient history. It apparently was copied from the original text by an extremely talented scribe. The quality was not what made it fascinating to Jercio though. Learning of Iblees and how he had cursed the world like this not only infuriated Jercio but motivated him.

 

When Jercio left Thomas’ manor he went deep into the forests. Deep into his homeland. Here Jercio reevaluated his life. That disgusting creature had changed the world created by the god and sculpted by the four races. He had altered nature and cursed the entirety of Aegis. Asulon was not free from that darkness either though. Iblees’ curses on the four races made anywhere they went doomed. So deep within the forest Jercio constructed a small shrine and prayed to the god.

 

“I have not experienced the long lost past, and know not the future. I have lived but a short time in your eyes, and long in those whom have passed. I ask that my many years be blessed with the fortune to go forth and help protect the world you made. My ancestry helped to give names to your creations. One name was Chirr, Wolf. A mighty predator who’s strength comes from those it leads. Give me the zeal to draw strength from the world I wish to defend!”

 

Jercio didn’t feel anything change, but he knew he had. From then on Jercio made it his duty to help protect the world. Not only in the way of respect like many elves, but also by striking down those who would endanger it. No one would be immune from judgment. Humans, Orcs, Dwarves, or even elves who put nature at risk would soon be at the mercy of the wolf.

 

For the next few decades Jercio traveled the continent as a nomad always looking to keep nature in balance. He tried to strengthen his bond with nature always trying to tap into the magics used by druids, but never had any real success. He did defeat a number of foes through his journey. Selfish humans, greedy dwarves, violent orcs, and the odd twisted elf were slain by his bow. The task was never without pain though. Not only did Jercio suffer many wounds over the years, but the realization of the extent of his goal also hindered Jercio. He had wanted to do so much to help the world, but he knew he could never do enough.

 

For now he has reduced his watch to the edges of Elven territory, but still acts with the same fervor. If the day ever comes where Iblees or any evil appears to destroy nature Jercio will stand ready to defend god’s creation to his very last breath.

 

Ambitions for the Future: Jercio intends to carry on his watch over nature, but the gravity of the vocation has led him to consider trying to become a real druid. Along with that he has had the occasional thought of trying to find a family as a way to eventually carry on his ideals, but its ones of his lesser thoughts as he knows how rarely elven females bare children.

 

Personality: Jercio is typically a rather nice guy, but that usually requires you getting to know him. At first glance he appears cocky and very pugnacious, but it really is just his dedication to his goals that make him willing to take on challenges way out of his league. If you get past that you may see him as a bit moody or at least his feelings change rather quickly. This seems to be something with Jercio where his attention span is extremely short, and he has nearly boundless energy. This does lead to him rambling about certain topics as well. If he enjoys the topic he’ll go on and on, but if he dislikes the topic he’ll try hard to change it or leave despite how rude it is.

 

Deep down Jercio is a very dedicated elf. He’s willing to lay down his life for the world he believes in, and would do it for anyone he cares about. He has good morals even if he’s a bit chaotic about carrying them out, and really just wants to help the world.

 

Skills: Jercio is a very talented bow-elf, and excels at killing animals due to his years of training. He is also a very good survivalist knowing how to live along with nature for a very long period of time. He has a rather mediocre knowledge of swordplay, despite it being an uncommon skill for elves Jercio did more or less learn how to wield and use a short sword. Jercio has always had an interesting connection with wolves even though he doesn’t know why. This connection also extends to most dogs. Typically these animals are very friendly to him, and occasionally obey his commands if they aren’t too extreme. Jercio also has many other skill like those of his race including great dexterity, a strong love of nature, and can traverse the forest canopy with ease (which he can carry over to help climb and traverse city roof tops).

 

List: great archer

hunter

survival skills

minimal swords“elf”ship

a friendly empathy with canines

very dexterous

bond with nature(I’m seeing this as a sort of knowledge of how the forest works and all that)

a rather good parkour skill

 

Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin): Jercio stands about six foot two inches and due to his lean, but muscular build weighs only about one hundred and thirty pounds. The only thing the human blood in Jercio’s family ever did was give them lighter skin. Unlike a typical wood elf, Jercio’s skin is a rather light color somewhat like that of a slightly tanned human. He does have all the other traits of his kind though pointy ears which are somewhat hidden under his scraggy dyed brown hair. At one point it was green, but Jercio found the color distracting and rather annoying. For normal wood elves it was vaguely reminiscent of a tree, but for him it looked stupid. He does have a couple of metal beads in his hair which help keep it out of his face. Jercio has sharp features, and his brown eyes are always vigilant.

 

For clothes Jercio wears a dark green tunic, gray trousers, and a jacket with hood, pair of boots, pair of gloves, and baldric made of leather. The baldric has the insignia for his family on it which is a mostly random design, that one of his ancestors thought looked nice.

 

 

 

 

Any other details you wish to share about your character: At some point I would like to look into getting magic for Jercio so that he can become more of a druid.

 

His bow (even if he doesn’t start with one) will be named “fea-okar“ or Soul Safeguarded as he uses to protect the spirit of nature.

 

Jercio also has claustrophobia, and can’t stand to be in closed in spaces for too long. Along with that Jercio is slightly Agoraphobic and can’t be in crowded places for too long.

 

Open-Response-Questions

 

Each question in this section must be answered with a minimum of one paragraph which must describe the event in full. Please be as descriptive as possible and do not break character or lore at any point.

____

 

1. As you walk through the deep forests you hear the sound of whispering and snickering. Upon inspection you realize that a group of High Elves are mocking a small Wood Elf child. How do you react?

 

Answer: As Jercio wanders along through the forest attentive as he always is when patrolling the sounds of voices easily grab his attention. He carefully tracks the snickering back to its source. Jercio approaches silently, and remains hidden in the brush when he draws near. He spots three High Elves still children per say, but older than the Wood Elf Jercio spots a moment later. He considers for a moment knowing he should get back to his patrol and that no matter how rude these High Elves are they haven’t upset the balance of nature. After two more vulgar insults are spat at the young elf Jercio decides he can’t let this go. He steps out of the bush, and walks to the three High Elves. They are still rather young, so despite their race typically being taller Jercio is in this case. He glares down at the trio before reprimanding them,

 

“How pathetic! You three are disgraceful to your kind. You hold yourselves higher, but you only can do so but insulting a child. Do you want to be considered the highest? Then prove it by doing something we can look up to.”

 

Jercio growls at the group who now seem terrified of the armed elf. They back off and shout that they’re sorry as they run away. Jercio returns to the Wood Elf child who was curled up on the ground as though he could physically block the insults. Jercio helps the child to his feet, and smiles at the boy.

 

“Trust me nothing they say changes who you are. Next time they bother you try climbing up one of these trees. You‘ll be out of reach and you can probably get home through the branches. Though try and get some practice first.” Jercio tells the boy before heading back to his patrol route.

 

2. Whilst wandering through the Elven forests you come across a frail old man with a walking stick. He collapses in front of you, falling to the ground with a sharp thud. Out of his pocket falls a small pouch of gold coins, which hits the ground and splits open spreading coins across the pathway. The man lies there, defenseless - what do you do?

 

Answer: As Jercio comes across the man he first assumes some one has injured him. The suddenness of his fall put Jercio on edge. When he is sure there was no attacker Jercio kneels down and turns the man over onto his back before propping him up against a tree. The old man seems to still be alive as he still breathes. As the sunlight filters through the canopy and strikes the coins Jercio sees the glints of light out of the corner of his right eye.  He turns to see about thirty gold pieces scattered about on the path. Jercio begins to gather them up, and is about to return them to the man’s purse, but sees the tare in it, and realizes they’d just fall back out. Jercio doesn’t have much need for the money as he’s quite used to supporting himself, and finds the obsession over currency rather pointless. What does bother him is that the old man doesn’t seem to be coming around anytime soon. Despite this set back Jercio spends the next half an hour sitting with the man until he comes to, and goes on his way.

 

3. Whilst traversing the Elven Woodlands, you come across a small clearing in which a colored carriage sits. A trader stands outside of it and calls you over, telling you of his wares. He points out that his carriage sells just about everything, and that he's willing for you to haggle for a price. What does your character do? (Please include:- item, haggling for prices and the discussion involved).

 

Answer: When Jercio comes upon the trader he remains out of sight of the man. He has been on patrol all day, and is still very cautious about strangers in the forest. The man has a carriage with him which is being used to display a multitude of objects. Jercio now realizes the man is a trader, and what he has for sale doesn’t seem to be anything that would cause an issue. Jercio approaches now, but has little intent of buying anything. Most things he needs are easily gained from nature. He also is a bit short on money since he doesn’t use it often. The only thing that truly catches Jercio’s eyes is a finely made quiver. The one of his back right now was warn out and wasn’t put together well in the first place. The trader has obviously been in business for a long time as he picks up on Jercio’s interest very quickly.

 

“A fine pick. What’s a bow without arrows? And where would you keep them all?”

 

“I never said I wanted it.” Jercio replies slightly annoyed that the trader is pursing the sale.

 

“Yes of course, but you must admit it’s a rather nice piece of equipment. Its even well priced.” The trader continues.

 

“Sure.” Jercio mutters sarcastically, “Its best you know I’m not the sort of elf who puts much value in materials things.”

 

“Why would you? Material things wear out like the quiver on your back, but we still need them anyways.”

 

“Don’t get ahead of yourself. Its best you don’t try to sell it to me if I don’t even have the coin. I do most of my trade in bartering.” Jercio explains knowing his quiver does need replacing.

 

“I was thinking somewhere in the teens.” The trader starts out.

 

“Then I’ll think the lowest of them.” Jercio replies knowing the comment to be slightly rude.

 

“Oh that may be right on the edge. We may to do some higher thinking.” The trader responds not going to accept such treatment.

 

“In that case I’ll only spend ten, and add some pelts to the tab. I’ve picked up some nice beaver furs.” Jercio says taking the mentioned furs from his bag.

 

The pelts are in good condition as they were expertly removed from the animal’s body. The trader is very interested in them as beaver furs have become popular for making hats out of. He almost instantly accepts the deal, and they part ways with their profits. Jercio does chuckle to himself knowing that those hides were some of the easiest and smallest he procured.

Another member will review this. I'm sorry. I was busy with some other things.

If not, I'll finish it up when I do my next round of applications.

[Lita 677]

Honestly a fantastic application. Just one thing, darken up the skin on the... skin, a bit. Just enough so it looks more like a Wood Elf rather than a High Elf. Apologies for the wait in review, but you certainly seem to know what you're doing.

Please wait to be implemented, as this can take some time, and feel free to PM myself or a Guide with any questions you may have.
