once again thanks. the bios have been written and will be submitted once we've reviewed them over the course of this weekend.

well you guys are in for a treat then, our background story is currently at 2,5 a4 pages. we will of course try to shorten it upon completion. I am however a tad confused regarding regarding question 1. Since the place described in ones biography has to actually exist or have existed, does that mean that we are required to, or should, contact the leaders of said place in order to gain permission to use it in our bios? also: we are aware that LoTR is overrun by orphans, and characters hailing from destroyed/abandoned villages and that it is therefore adviced that one avoids such backgrounds.. However if our characters were born and raised in Anthos would such that not make such a background unavoidable?

Apoligies in advance if there are to many questions. Anyway i'll get straigth to it: 1.Is one still allowed to create a character born in a settlement that does/did not actually exist in-game? 2. Are we allowed to write joint background stories, meaning that section of the story would be the same for all 3 characters or are individual perspectives needed? 3. In the background stories, are we allowed to write that our characters have been part of an in-game existing organization, such as the oren military? (they would of course only have been normal soldiers and would not have played any major roles, nor have held any high ranks, except for one of them having been a sergeant) 4. Is it possible for new characters to have participated in major in-game/lore events, more specifically the battle at Castle Greynn, described in A Dance with Death? Now onto to a couple of questions of a more practical nature. (apologies if this is the wrong section for such questions) 5. With the coming implementation of Nexus/Core, we were wondering what the best approach to profession would be. Is it wise to let your character have multiple goals, interests, skills or professions? Example: One of us wishes to be have skills in healing and tinkering but also a newfound and strong interest in magic. Or would it be more advicable to have one's character focus on one particular path, since the "leveling system in core benefits those focusing on advancing in one field? 6. aforementioned member of my group also wants to know whether magics with the implementation of core will work primarily through in-chat rp or through plugins making magics "really" appear and exist on the server? (ofc its a an rp server, so in effect in-chat rp'ed magic is real, but i trust you understand the question" 7. As i understand it, the civilized races have still only been living in Anthos for such a time (10-15 years?) that it is still possible for new characters to have been born and possibly raised in Asulon. Correct? 8. How long can the background story we submit in our applications. is there a recommended length. And are there ways we can submit, utilize or cannonize the parts we would be forced to leave out of the application if a limitation to the submitted backgrounds story does exist? Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions. Sgt_darth_wader. NoMercy2 and JamesGardiner, soon also to be known as Tallon Karrde, Whiskyjack and Adolin Geranid

long running factions group keeping my on another server, though alot of them (15 in total) are warming up to idea of moving to this server. anyway this is unrelated to the topic. also But I love it when fecal matter whips through the air riding along 50mph winds... ^ this, so much this

from the perspective of a guy who has followed this server/site since Aegis but never actually played on it, i have to say that the OOC story of this place is almost as interesting as the IC one. i hope you will come out of this as a stronger community and that you will continue to make this a server which i envy more and more each day.
