(( Awwwww goddamn it! I didn't mean to kill her off. She was a good and fun character to RP with... And I never said he would never love her, just not at that very moment. Very melodramatic, that darn Fae. Caelan's going to be sad...At least it'll make good VA material :P Now Kolyat and Ellir are going to have my head. It was fun roleplaying with you nonetheless. I do hope that Fae somehow pops back up, but that may be a bit hard as of now.))

(Nelecar just went up to me last night, asking me to be part of the jury, so ask him again maybe? You forgot the jury in your recommended trial listing)

And if she has presentable evidence that may clear these exiled Mali'aheral? She may have a evident bias, but that would exempt her from finalizing the decision, being a member of the jury, not from participating in the case.

(( Sorry, I guess I'll have them in the human capitals? I had thought the cloud temple had a trade board for the purposes of the trade forum))

Yes! A trial, a trial indeed, I proclaim! ( Glad to see the RP event take place! )

One of our greatest concerns as of yet, is our lack of military supplies and funding. Guards go unpaid, and undersupplied. We have little to no diamond-clad soldiers, so if ever another orc army one which is always coated in diamond, stomps in our land, well...we will be in trouble. Gaining means of production such as farmlands, lumber posts, and mines will insure the government can supply itself. As of yet, the city undergoes a series lack of supplies to even fund reforms. On other note, I would happily act as an agent. I have done so for many years, and I could so for many more.

Just curious, but where do the other non-high elves roleplay? Whenever I go into Elandriel or Normandor, it is always empty. I want to RP with my cousin-elves but I can never find 'em.

(( I guess a flyer near Cloud Temple, trying to reach out to everyone. ))

He's my OOC friend I know he is just trolling so I troll back xD Plus I wanted to make sure everyone was aware of his trolling-ness and I agree the entire city is fighting over her... Haelun'or actually has a somewhat decent gender ratio, so there are other women to hit up!

I am trading roughly two stacks of jungle wood and a LOT of iron. Send a bird to Caelan of Haelun'or, (either IG Pm to TheCrackerJack or forum PM) and we shall decide on a time and price for these wares.

*As Caelan tunes his lute, he looks up and notices the debate between those thrown out of the city, and Nelecar. Feeling bold, he stands up and makes a statement* Okarir'sil of Haelun'or, I do understand the qualm of delving our peoples into a democracy, or as I would put a mobcracy. Granting power to every common person and bestowing "mob rule" would cause bicker and discontent along with inefficient leadership. However, I do feel that in order to avoid corruption of the kings, princes, and tyrants of which many may have fled, perhaps some power should be vested in prominent citizens of literacy and wealth, to have representatives represent them in the council. A republican ideology, of sorts. It is a merely an idea from a fellow Mali'aheral. I do not agree with the banishment of these men, for they have fought and nearly died for our peoples, but I shall not protest. I do wish that these supposed criminals were bestowed a public trial, as they are Mali'aheral and deserve that right. *sits back down, and munches on an apple, curious of Nelecar's reply* (A public trial RP Event? Would be quite interesting.)

*wraps up his song and looks up into the crowd. He previously overheard the mention of the human attempt to flirt with Ellir, and quickly remarks* "Ser, Ellir possess a family. Please stop this incessant courtship, as it is quite improper" *grins to himself, shakes his head, and begins to play a tune to match the interesting tensions in the tavern* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ms9t4eMiTc

He's also a dark elf :P I think your char is looking for pure high elves?

Caelan chuckles at the humans remark, and nods at the High Elf, and begins to softly play a instrumental song that was based of the peace of Elandrial. As he plays, he notices the ensuing drama but is more focused on his music than the bickering. ♪♫♫♪♫♫~ ( )

HAELUN'OR CITIZENSHIP APPLICATION: Name: TheCrackerJack Truename ((MCName)): Caelan Arleyun Origin: I was born to a bloodline of Justicars, the Arleyun. While they insisted that I be raised in the Legion, I adamantly refused and picked up the lute, over the sword. I spent my days performing odd jobs, doing some contract-work, and playing music, before finally heeding my roots as a Mali'aheral and residing in Haeuln'or. My life is detailed and filled with many stories, but I will share them at a later time, and perhaps a tip would be in order then. How can you declare you are Mali'thill: Both of my parents were Justicars in a small High Elf town. I have documented proof of their enlistment, and thus this proves I am pure of blood. Why do you wish to become a citizen of Haelun'or: I have a sole desire to educate and keep in touch with my kin. Residing in this city, a homeland in this foreign-land would be most excellent. A home here would be great and to even meet good Mali'aheral men and women would be in my best interest. What is your personal vision for our blessed race: I hope to see the Mali'aheral become a triumphant race. While racial oppression is something I cannot fully condone, I do hope they will receive their righteous place as forerunners in the world. I hope our society of scholars and knowledge will enable us to make us a formidable force in Asulon. What does maehr'sae hiylun'ehya mean to you: Thankfully my bardsmanship has granted me some expertise on the ancient tongue. This phrase remains to be a code for the High Elves to abide and follow, to live their days by. Our society function thanks to this powerful phrase and it is a proper tenet of our culture. What Elven phrase do you particularly take to heart? Please explain why: Ata'Ceru is one that I knew of, and it is one I respect due to it indicates that excess strength and blindless ambition can result in grim fates. What is the subject of the first book you will submit to the college: I would most likely release something regarding the old languages, or a story of how to romance a fair elven girl, or of a chronology of tales of my experiences as a bard, or some combat techniques usable to eliminate foes in an elven fashion. I have much to write about if given the time. What would be your reaction if you ever saw a human, orc and unknown Mali'aheral travel the roads from Alras together: I would not care. They do not harm me, I do not harm them. What home would you like to receive: (if left blank you will be granted one of the free residences, if one is availible). A very fine, expensive one. I can afford it through payments of iron, gold and diamond. I haven't decided as of yet. Are there any other details about yourself you wish to relay to the council: Not as of yet.

Caelan walks into the inn quietly. He notices the many figures, and proceeds to purchase a small glass of wine. He takes out a lute, and begins to strum gently, before asking "Does anyone have any requests for a jovial tune to play?" He looks down at his lute and continues to strum gently, his fingers plucking quickly and with grace.

MC NAME: TheCrackerJack RP NAME: Caelan Arleyu GENDER: Male JOB/STATS: Bard Trained in Archery, Swordsmanship, and Cooking Have a home?: No, hope to buy one though. RACE: High Elf!

( It's not anyone RPS as Meztili, so Meztili can't actually dislike you further. To make it more balanced, I like the idea of to the Okhan, Tla'Xerdun is almost a diety, who is semi-divine thanks to the blessing of Meztili. To Tanar, while he is an important prophet and blessed by Meztili, he is by no means divine.)

( Idea for the split between Okhan and Tanar Okhan could believe that the Emperor and Meztili are equal in power and both most be served equally in order for the Empire to prosper. Or even that Emperor is physical manisfestation of Meztili and must be respected moreso due to his presence gracing the Empire. Tanar believes that while Emperor is chosen by Meztili, the Emperor is not as credible and is lesser to Meztili. This is just from my RP with kido, who said that the Okhan believe in the top most. An idea for constant conflict :P Was posted on Okhan thread too)

(( I am not Cheetrah, I am Leparda, and sure we could work something out ))

(( If you don't mind, could I help work something out on the google doc? Considering a lot of the Kharajyr system is very rigid and narrow minded, with titles describing your profession and caste, I was hoping we could distinguish our prides from another. As a former dwarf I know a big problem that happened with clans is that they all at the end of the day were quite similar, and extremely easy to get into. I hope with prides we can do something different, and try to keep them truly noble, and with each pride having different stances on different matters instead of recruiting any old joe to live in your house.)

Thanks!

Alright. I'm kind of confused though. Being lazy is a trait which would go under your personality and so is - Hating monotony - Being religious - Fear of failure, so acting idle is good - Enjoys exploring nature and dozing - Not well-educated - Seeks justice in situations Not sure how many traits of a personality are necessary to get accepted, but from looking at other accepted applications, personally I think it suffices since most accepted people only have around 3-4 sentences worth of traits. But of course I am not on KAT. :P Anywho, this is my third app. The only thing changed is the personality, and it has been extended to include even more traits. If you have difficulty reading it and finding them, I put a short list at the end of the application to help you out. I must say it's a lot harder to become a Kharajyr nowadays to get a VA accepted XD MC Username: TheCrackerJack Rp Username (be sure to include the correct prefix, look up on info thread): Dra'Alzar Tanar Character Skillset: 99 Archery 99 Swordsmanship Appearance (age, SUBRACE, gender): Eighteen Kha' Leparda Male 6'2 185 lbs Personality: Personality: Dra'Alzar is a bit of a romantic. Free-spirited yet still held rigid by his faith in Meztili, Dra'Alzar seeks to explore jungles and dunes over fighting barbarians and monsters. However, that does not mean Dra'Alzar shirks from his duties as a moonblade. He fights with honor for his kingdom and peoples, and does largely for the prestige of the position but also his faith in Meztili. Dra'Alzar enjoys both facets of life, from the slower more easy-going side, like basking in the sun, to go out hunting with comrades in unknown jungles and meeting new faces. However, a moderation of both sides is key. Too much basking in the sun makes Dra'Alzar feel like dead weight to his companions, and too much combat means Dra'Alzar feels he holds too much duties, and his fear of failure begins to uproot itself. Dra'Alzar enjoys to show off and make jokes, even if it makes himself look foolish. He faces polar opposites often. When he feels energetic, he has great energy and is very playful, bouncing around with the speed of a sugared up kitten. When he feels more down, he dozes off snoring loudly or simply climbs up a tree and absorbs the sun rays. When he is more energetic he tells more playful jokes and uses more direct wit, and when he is down his wit is dry and sometimes when he is even angry or despondent he speaks in sarcasm. Please include a short bio of your character's life: Dra'Alzar was born into a meager house of middle-class Kharajyr, who were the commoners of the Empire. Dra'Alzar was given no formal education due to his status and his families inability to afford a proper long-term education. He managed to pick up a bit of literacy throughout his years and with some of his religious studies, and was educated a bit more for his rank of Dra', yet Alzar still has trouble as he was never educated properly. Dra'Alzar's father was a low-class servant to a High Priest, and his mother cooked food for one of the Aelkos of the time. These positions were not so well-paying, but prestigious for their connections. Dra'Alzar, or Alzar at the time, could have easily used his fathers and mothers connections to secure a religious position or a position in the military. However, while Alzar possessed some natural gifts in the skills of archery, wit, and close quarters combat, he rarely seized his fathers opportunities. Rather, he would go out with his friends and play games, skipping critical lessons with his father, or simply explore the thick jungles of the Empire, relax and think of new ways to live life. Because he had not taken practice with his father, Alzar was ill-prepared for his trials to earn adulthood. He struggled with the tests, barely passing, but somehow managed to pass, utilizing his wit into manipulating others into performing tasks for him. For example, during a task in which to hunt a pack of "No-Breaths" in the wilds, Alzar had fooled a Tigrasi into walking into the No-Breath lair saying it held jewels and other goods. When the Tigrasi came out screaming being chased by a dozen of No-Breaths, Alzar used this chance to pick them off with his bow. While the Tigrasi was angry, Alzar reminded him that they were both safe and they both completed their trials. Because Alzar earned his title of S' and reached adulthood, his father became much more stringent upon him. Slowly, Alzar began to improve, but he hated the lessons of his father which constantly forced him to fear failure. Messing up a single stance or technique would result in being severely punished, and thus while Alzar grew stronger, he also grew more paranoid of fighting and assuming leadership positions. Through this training, his father had him arranged with a higher up in the military, who taught him a few techniques, as to recognize the momentum of the foe, to use all four legs and all of his muscles in combat, in order to mitigate the heavy burdens of armor and weaponry. Alzar was taught to use his Leparda traits to his benefit, as with proper armor training, Alzar could match sparring with much larger foes by utilizing his four-legged dexterity, and against quicker foes, Alzar could take many hits. He assumed a more balanced stance of combat, and thus choose the sword, a weapon of parrying and slicing, to compliment his bow. Alzar still hated these lessons, but knew he was getting stronger and able to fight better. His father constantly enforced that Alzar wear some form of armor at all times, so Alzar would grow used to the burden and be able to fight comfortably in it. While Alzar tried to disobey, his fathers scolding had made Alzar less inclined to do so. He grew less lazy and began to shape up, but his omnipresent fear of failure grew more and more. Upon arrival to the island, Alzar found himself greeted by members of the House Tanar. Immediatly, Dra'Krahn Tanar, head of the House, recognized that Alzar was of a missing Leparda link, one that was cast out and over the ages descended down to middle class. Despite this, Krahn invited Alzar to restore his name to Tanar, and invited Alzar to test his skills in a mine-clearing expedietion against many-legs, no-breaths and even darkwalkers. Utilizing his combat stance of balance and his ability for his small frame to support armor, he impressed them on a mine-clearing expedition. Dra'Krahn Tanar had found it that Alzar was strong enough to fight with the moonblades and test himself for the rank of Dra'. Alzar at first was incredibly reluctant, and nearly refused. However, Dra'Krahn insisted on honoring the empire and used that logic that those who try to and fail at attaining the title Dra', are still more honorable then those who never try at all. Alzar then felt the pressures of the Tanar house around him to at the least try for the rank of moonblade, and fought a series of duels. Utilizing his wit and ability to predict his opponent, Alzar won or tied in the majority of them, and thus ascended to the rank of Dra. Alzar was pleased, and began to realize the facet that perhaps attempting things is better then idling about. However, the fear from his childhood still rests in his mind, and while Alzar has become much more confident and upstanding in the Empire, he still harbors inner fears which still need to be quelled. Alzar prays often for more confidence, so he can maintain his newfound rank. Character's ambitions: Dra'Alzar has attained a rank of high prestige. At this point, he solely wishes to aid his Empire in the best way he can. Aiding his empire brings solace to Dra'Alzar and gives him attention and prestige he craves without sacrificing too much of it to failure. Dra'Alzar also enjoys the more simple things in life. He wishes to settle down, purchase a home, find a proper mate, and rest. While he enjoys feasting on sweet-breads and dozing off, he recognizes that he must uphold his duty as Dra', and he acknowledges that with reverence. He also wishes to remain faithful to Meztili, and avoid sullying her name at all cost. _---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?: Dra'Alzar is surprised at the sight of an ape wandering in his lands. In his thick armor, he slinks up to the human on four legs, and begins to growl quietly. The human grows a bit scared, but then Dra'Alzar chuckles and stands upright. He says not to fear, and tells the human that while he is on grounds he should not be on, Alzar will spare him, for while the human may be inferior, reckless killing is still sinful. The human takes some insult towards the saying, but Alzar ignores his outburts, and hands him a few apples. He mutters "Dra'Alzar says that to the north lies an abandoned shack with supplies. Dra'Alzar need not the supplies, so he leaves them to you, human. It is beyond the waterfall, to the left of the incline. Travel light, and do not return to these lands, lest someone more wrathful spots you." The human sprints off, heeding Dra'alzar's words. 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?: Dra'Alzar, in a public setting, feels inclined to show off. However, he does not wish to sully his reputation as a Moonblade, especially in the presence of foreigners and apes. In a witty manner, Dra'Alzar begins to talk softly with the dwarf, saying he would enjoy the bowl of cream, and most likely that, yes he would make a fair rug in these lands, yet murdering a civilian in a tavern would be most foolish. The Dwarf, after attempting to throw a few more insults, grows tired of Dra'Alzar's technique, and gets up and sits at a different table, cursing Alzar in his breath. Alzar finds himself surprised that worked, as he remembers that the shorter apes seem to have vast tempers. Alzar smiles quietly to himself. 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? Dra'Alzar, upon hearing the ridiculous murder, forces the Kha out of his home, screaming and cursing at him for his recklessness. Alzar refuses to provide shelter or aid the murderer, yet is still morally challenged due to the fact the Kharajyr was a friend. He thinks to himself, and makes a quick prayer to Metztli for guidance. He chooses to oblige his duties as a Moonblade, and sets out to the local guard to accommpany him to arrest the murderer. While dragging his friend to jail, Dra'Alzar feels sadness and even has slight regret that he choose such a profession. Nonetheless, Alzar performs his task with duty, and then goes off in the night, to explore and ponder his actions among other things. 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? I Dra'Alzar swear to follow the Tlatlanni and uphold his law, and swear to hold Metzli and all of her actions as sacred.
