[Questions]
MC Name: Jtheo2016
Why do you want to join? Money, power, and protection from others within the guild.
How will you provide the guild and the LOTC community with a great RP experience? Robbing, killing, and creating conflict between players. It's what I'm here for :D.
What do you think are vital in RP? (I.e Emotes, RP fights over MC fights etc) Emotes are vital. If you don't use emotes, many of your actions may appear hazy or unclear. Also, the person being robbed must also be a good sport. People who run before I (The Faceless Man) even mention my name are meta gamers, which is ridiculously boring and frustrating for me. Also, despite my love of RP fights, I must say MC fighting is a little bit more exciting for me. However, should I have to choose between RP and MC for the comfort of another player I would pick RP so they don't feel cheated or TOO frustrated.
To break the Guild laws, or the Server laws is instant banishment unless in a specific circumstance where you are offered an appeal form by the Guild, do you understand this? Yes.

RP name: The Faceless Man, Redbain, or Jhaquen Q'Har. (Jhaq favored among friends and allies. Faceless among victims)
Biography:
(The Faceless Man walks into your office and tosses down a book)
Week 1:
My doctor reccomended I write a journal in an attempt to preserve my sanity, based upon what has already happend to most of the crew. To anyone reading this, I should explain. First off, I have had 16 name days, and my name is Redbain. I am the cabin boy on the Life Giver, owned by Captain Faren. Although, I am beginning to find the irony in the name of our ship. Every week, another man goes missing, only to appear the day after they have gone missing. After another week has passed, the man dissapears again, this time for good. The process then begins all over again. Men are beginnng to get a crazed look in my eyes, which is why my doctor is trying to help me. May Aeriel save our souls.
Week 2:
Many on board would say I am greedy or have a lust for power, I would call it ambition. I hate my job as cabin boy, as my own hope is to some day become the captain of my own ship. I fear this dream may never be realized as my family is poor, thus my job as a cabin boy. Still, a man without dreams is not a man at all. This week, it was the poor cook that went missing, which is scary for all of us, as now, we may not get cooked food until our next docking which is yet another month away in Galahar. I already miss my pork. On other news, the Captain is beginning to get the crazed look in his eyes which has me worried if we will have a Captain at all two weeks from now.
Week 3:
The cook is gone for good apparently, and now our meals consist of nothing but dried, salted pork which has been sitting in our main hold for weeks and some stale moldy bread that we discovered in one of the barrels. Surprisingly enough, I met a new sailor today, god knows where we got him from as we have been at sea for a few weeks now. Perhaps I just haven't noticed him before. His name is Jhaqun'Qhar. He's a mean looking fellow with a crooked nose and a missing ear. He said he has much to teach me in the next two weeks. Why it's only two weeks, I don't know as we will finally port in another four. All I can do is sit and wait.
Week 4:
Jhaq, has he has told me to call him, is teaching me a weird sort of magic. I want to report him to the captain, but I cannot as I am curious with the magic he is teaching. He calls is "Valar Maguro." He says next week he will show me it in action. Until then, he said not to repeat these words when alone with one person. I'll do what he says for now, but my curiosity may get the better of me. This week, it was the first mate, Ricardo, who went missing. Aeriel help his soul. I better get back to practicing the "spells" Jhaq taught me.
Week 5: They're dead! They're all dead! Today I ventured down into the hold of the ship searching for an orange and I opened a door. There were so many bodies in there! I saw Ricardo and the Cook in there! Scarier yet, when I went back on deck, Ricardo waved to me, the very same man I had just seen dead. Today, I am going to ask Jhaq what is going on.
(Later on that same day)
He killed everyone! It was Jhaq, using his odd magic! He showed me! He can change his face with only one finger. I have seen him turn into the cook and into Ricardo. Jhaq is a faceless man! He taught me his abilities! I must kill him, if not, Galahar is in trouble. But if I do, I will be seen as a murderer to all those in Galahar. I will play this by year, and hopefully all will turn out well...
((Application as it appeared on VA. If you want another biography, could you please specify which one? As in is it about how I heard of the guild or how I was introduced into the guild? My best bet is this biography is not good as it already appears in my VA but I do not understand what other one I would put up. Sorry! -Jtheo2016))
Personality: Evil yet strangely noble at times, always keeping his word when it comes to "Minas or death." Also, many would call the Faceless Man crazy, but he only acts so in order to establish fear in the heart of the victim. The Faceless Man likes to create plans for large heists and robberies yet can turn into a coward should he be injured. However, as he is very hard to kill ((permanently)), the Faceless Man will often "suicide" should he be captured, regardless of what he has on his person.
Motives: The Faceless Man craves power and money. He recognizes that money and power are connected, and in turn is connected to fear. The Faceless Man wants to become a house hold name, a story told by parents to their children to get them to listen. The Faceless Man wants his name to inflict fear in the hearts of all who hear it. However, the Faceless Man also keeps a social life, going by the name Redbain Adelban and, to his closer friends who know him fully, Jhaquen Q'Har.
Aspirations: Redbain/Jhaq wants nothing more than to rise to a rank in which he is untouchable, forever safe. On another note, Jhaq wants to buy his own ship someday, at which time he will sail away from Aegis where he shall die a sailor, just as he began one. However, as a link to his past, Jhaq has a specific name reserved for his ship. Just as Captain Faren had the Life Giver, Jhaq will have the Life Taker, on which he shall live abroad and take on the life of a pirate.

You notice a rich foreign merchant in the markets browsing wares such as jewellery, weaponry and armor. You notice a stall owner has just walked away from his stall for a few moments, several guards are patrolling the area, the merchant walks towards the stall to browse its wares. To the North is a sewer grate you could escape through, though the guards seem to be patrolling it more than usual. How will you pull of this thievery?
((Spoken in role play as if being questioned by an elder)) Easy. *giggles*. There is a deserted stand, what else should I do but burn it? *giggles*. As the guards, once guarding the sewers, run to put out the beautiful spitting flames, I shall hold my dagger to the fat pig's... I mean merchant's belly. I will tell him to empty his pockets and hand over his rich clothes. As soon as the Guards are within minutes of extinguishing the flames of wealth, *giggles at his play on words*, I will simply walk into the sewer. But, as I go, I shall drag the merchant with me. As I am a master of Valar Maguro, I will simply steal his personality and face and walk away from the situation, unbothered and significantly richer. *giggles*.
The Upright Man has asked of you to steal a scroll from a house that is just outside the city limits of Alras, the house seems to be alive with laughter and drunken men, you look through a window to see the chest is in the room, while 5 drunken men sit around the fire telling war stories, they seem armed but drunk, you see in the corner of your eye a small hole in the roof into the room. The door hinges are old and rusty, it can be easily kicked down. How will you pull of this thievery?
Old drunken warriors you say? You make this too easy Mister Upright! *smiles at his complex yet brilliant plan*. First step, manipulate my voice to that of a young maiden. As they are drunk, it should not be too hard to convince one of them to come out. The second one leaves, I hit him over the head with a brick I had concealed in my uniform. *giggles, thinking of the mess created*. I then take off his clothes and don them over mine. As usual, I steal his face and enter again, this time with the face, voice, and clothes as the man they had seen earlier. I tell them I am going to my room in the tavern, at which time I steal the scroll and sneak out through the hole in the roof. *giggles, admiring his own plan*. As they are drunk, they will remember nothing. The man whose clothes and face I stole will return to normal, every day life, not suspecting anything except an odd, crazy night of drinking.
An old man has taken rest from his travels under a tree, his bag is to the left of him, he appears to have a dagger on him. In the far distance you see some travellers coming, though they are still a far while off. How will you pull of this thievery?
Simple enough. The old man is asleep and apparently, based on the dagger, not too happy. So I play this to the on coming travelers emotions. Quickly, I wake him up, as he will be pointing his dagger at me. He has been woken just before the travelers make a quarter mile distance from us. I lie and cheat involving asking him not to rob me and to give me back my bags, only once the travelers are in ear shot. He is confused, but I convince the travelers that he is the liar, playing dumb to avoid arrest. The travelers do the rest for me. They draw their swords, dropping what they have, and chase him. Now, I not only have the Old Man's items, but those of the travelers. Since every able bodied man will be chasing him, I will have no trouble taking what I want. *giggles again*. I love my job.
