  1. ((There are multitudes of people who can train you to use a sword(Hell you might even train yourself on beasts of the field), there are almost 0 who can/will teach you Mori. If you do not have someone who taught it to you how on earth could you learn it? Make sense? The Mori and even the High Elven languages were both made to be only learnable through RP means to prevent Metagaming and verbal powergaming. Just like its a rule that you cannot join the server from the get go as a Mori, you cannot just know their language either.))
  2. ((I'm sorry, but I don't recall ever seeing you in Menorcress or near any Mori for any great length of time to learn the language, even in some small level. How long did it take you to learn the small amount you might know, and who taught you In-Character? You cannot just say I learnt the language, you actually have to learn it. If you think you have learned it from a translator or can learn it in a Biography where you have to do nothing to earn it you are sadly mistaken, you must learn it in character...))
  3. You seem to understand the lore decently enough, the character is no longer physically improbable. I am still a bit wary about the quality of the app, but I feel you know the lore well enough, and can hopefully pick up on the nuances of Mori life. You are being Conditionally Accepted. You will have a 1-2 week Trial Period. During this time I want you to fully play out your character as best you can. Try to stick to the lore, and the subtle differences between Mori and everyone else. Specifically, Do not go into daylight, glowstone light, or other very bright lights without a veil(Can be on your skin, a derpy looking pumpkin, or even something simpler just Rp'd). I will probably not be the only one Rp'ing with you, and others will be giving me their opinions on you role-play. If it is satisfactory at the end of the trial period, then you will be fully accepted into the Mori. However, if you prove to be lacking in the quality (Power/Meta-Gaming, Blatantly Breaking Lore, etc.) during the trial period. (Or just terribly breaking lore whenever after) I will promptly revoke your privilege to play the Mori character. If you agree to these terms go ahead and register and modreq your characters Race to Mori. Otherwise, you can try to put a bit more detail and length into the application and try again for a full acception.
  4. The Reason still stands, Fix the physical issues. Denied. Also, since you blatantly did not care for the reasons mentioned in the previous few denials wait 36 hours before posting an edited application
  5. I bled my eyes through the spelling and grammar issues, but I liked the story. The personality was fitting, yet unique and different. Congratulations, You just got yourself Accepted to the Mori
  6. ~~ Age 26 Mori Years (You don't understand this do you... Here is an excerpt from the last Denial.) Childhood: 26 - 50 years Adolescence: 51 - 119 years Adulthood: 120 - 199 years Middle Age: 200 - 299 years Old: 300 - 369 years Venerable: 370+ years Death age/Maximum age: 600 ~~ Height 9 ft, weight 100 lbs (You made a Very tall STICK FIGURE, you would not survive if you were this tall and that light. Also, Mori generally are fully grown around 5-6ft tall.) ~~ If she gets to know you she will play around (She is trusting if she gets to know you, it is a weakness, though masked in mistrust.) ~~ Sometimes when playing she'd steal something less...valuable to the other Mori and hide it (Depending on what you steal you might be proposing to the victim in Mori Culture.) You might have slipped by with just the personality flaws, but the Size and Age got you denied...
  7. ~~ He Deems Surfacers as enemies after the priestesses say they are to be treated 'non-violently' You're a freaking commoner, you don't call anyone enemies of the mother... ~~ He thinks they will vanish like the old ones did, who died to Iblees Taint... (Iblees is a defeated enemy, and there are NATIONS of surfacers now. They won't be dying out any time soon, Any sensible person can see that.) ~~ He told his private name to only one person (He sucked up to the person who overthrew him that's what he did...) ~~ He had to stand his sisters 'torment', so he came to hate his mother. (It's a bad thing to be toughened up, so he hates the very one who brought him into existance, and is one of Nemiisae's daughters.) ~~ He was in distress with his sister. (You said he would grovel to help himself, why did he not bow down to his sister and get in her 'good' graces?) (This is horrid... Did you even read the lore on the Melee? Melee Magthere) (Again Read the Melee's Lore... And the Sundering is something you take care of on your own. you don't hire someone to deal with the rite for you...) ~~ "Nathelian entered adulthood, he left schoo, wich was a relief for him" (God Seriously, use a spellchecker Please...) ~~ His sister was enslaved then slain and Azure was destroyed. (His name means nothing now. His family name is now non-existant.) ~~ "Nathelian continues to smile in a mockingly way, he soon resumes his walk down the streets" (How Naive... He can recognize you and hunt you down possibly easily as he is daring enough to offer to overthrow Miisytra. Besides, a weak houseless commoner won't be noticed missing.) You had it made, until I read the Bio section about the Melee. Fix it, I am not telling you what is wrong because you will only fix what I mentioned like you did this time... Learn the lore, take it to heart and try again in 24hrs.
  8. ~~ The age of Lu'Inbal is 26 years old (is this in Human years or Mori Years? either way its EXTREMELY young. Here is the Mori vs Human years basic maturity guide again. What this shows is that the child would be barely more than an infant, or a young infant if in human years.) ~~ She is small, only 5 ft tall and she wears a red belt that makes her easier to see in the dark. (Would she not want to hide and be less visible if she was weak and very skittish. Also, Weak + Small is never a good combination in Menorcress.) ~~ She is 5 ft tall and weighs a mere 30 lbs (That means she is lighter than some suits of armor were. She would be less than a stick figure to be that tall and that light.) ~~ Her clothing is torn and poorly made. (Why would it be so torn and terribly made? Couldn't you have had it repair or stolen a nicer pair?) ~~ She gets to know you she might play around (Mostly this seems alright, except she should not really be trusting of anyone. I am not sure if that's what you meant but, she shouldn't be overtly trusting of others.) ~~ Her wounds were healed by the monks (The Mori have their own priestesses who take care of wounds and injuries) ~~ She tried to make friends and came out with scars (Therefore she strives to make more friends, which may very possibly lead to even more scars.) ~~ Her only friend was killed (Serves him right to be so weak as to make a trustworthy friend) ~~ The figure shoots her with a single arrow (Would it not run and hide its identity? or kill her with a more lethal shot?) ~~ Once again the Monks (yeah we have priestesses) ~~ She gets mad at herself because he died (Why? he was weak, that just proved it.) Sorry, Denied for being unrealistic and minor problems with the Lore
  9. Denied, I can barely even imagine this character, much less imagine it surviving in the Mori Culture. ~~ The appearance is one sentence long and not very descriptive. (Please go into more detail about the appearance, try to write so I can visualize the character without even needing to see your skin. The Minecraft avatars can only be so detailed and descriptive, make it feel as if it were another living, breathing, thinking being rather than a blocky... thing.) ~~ Personality Section (Its rather short. I would like you to describe who this character is now, not a blocky emotionless avatar, but a thinking, feeling, moving, creature. This will help define the character for you in your mind and make it even easier to play them out.) ~~ The character's age is 9 years old (If you mean this in human years then the infant is scarcely more than a newborn baby. In Mori years the infant might just be teething at this point. Here is a list of years old relative to the characters maturity) ~~ She is shy and easily frightened and she would like to meet new people and explore the world (This does not make sense to me, she is shy and skittish therefore she wants to do outgoing and probably very frightening things.) ~~ The Biography (It is a bit short for my liking, and the story is a bit confusing to me. ~~ She often got into fights with other Mori which caused her to recede into the shadows (Women are essentially revered in Mori Society, it is not lightly she would get into fights unless with other females. Also, she is showing weakness by letting the bullies win and forcing her into solitude and silence.) ~~ The answer to the first of the two roleplay questions (It is a bit short and non-descriptive, lengthening it and adding more detail would be very beneficial towards getting accepted) ~~ The second Roleplay questions answer (This is actually a decent answer, though she has the feelings she masks them and does not let them show and is fueled by them. However, the fact that she cared so much about another is a bit rare in the Mori society, though not entirely impossible.) In Summation I feel the character is rather shy and inhibited, tends to run from fights she cannot win on fair terms or outright fighting. Cares enough about others to feel grief when they die. She has a few Mori like traits, and even more Non-Mori like traits. I could not really grasp the character with so little about them. In short, make your answers longer, more descriptive and maybe make the character little less caring and less shy.
  10. Ok... I am going to go through this and list out all the problems I see here. Then I am going to ask you to run this through a spelling/grammar checker before thinking about returning it once edited. Lastly I am going to point you towards the lore and see if you can make a Character who is a Mori, not an Emo Dark Elf. ~~ He is tall so he makes himself look shorter and weak. (Mori love strength, not weakness) ~~ He was Mocked because he looked like a hunchback and he just took it (A sure sign of weakness) ~~ His Glare is stern and severe, yet he is a timid person and not very talkative (That doesn't make sense) ~~ He RUNS from confrontation, even passive ones. (Again, Very weak and Un-Mori like) ~~ He stutters if he cannot run away (He is just begging to be bullied. Hunchback + Stutter = Ultimate Target) ~~ His clothing withers away and he does not obtain new clothes (Mori are fastidious groomers, they are VERY clean) ~~ He has certain reactions to stress and show it with his body (Hide your feelings if they show you to be weak) ~~ Solitude is the way to survive (Running from confrontation is weak, and pathetic) ~~ He is very shy (All the more reason to be picked on and tortured by others) ~~ He is not trusting anyone (GREAT, Finally a Mori-like trait!) Because he is paranoid ( (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻ He is AFRAID?!) ~~ He trusts friends and family (They are the closest to him, so they probably would have more to gain by his demise) ~~ His mother was named Orai'Ale (Mix around the letters and you get I Olarae(Dusk's character) *possible troll*) ~~ His family loves him unconditionally (NO, THAT NEVER, Let me say that again NEVER! happens. Love is the ultimate weakness No Mori would dare show it even if they happened to feel like it) ~~ He lived on his own for four years in the caverns. (Ok here is a list of the approximate age vs maturity scale, he was a infant at the time, though not many people adhere to the correct ages... *I am ignoring the fact that the character is an infant for the moment and pretending it is an adult, also to ensure you read this, put the words "Nemiisae's Touch" as the final two words of your next app* ~~ He decided to return to Menorcress, as he returned a crowd formed around as he looked at his surroundings he saw it was the Cloud Temple (Try to make sense please, that makes Complete nonsense, and puts me off of possibly accepting you even more.) ~~ He left Menorcress and deserted his brethren (Nemiisae would HATE him for that. The disfavor he would have accrued would have warranted him near certain death upon return) ~~ City is quarantined so he pays 200 minas to get in. (The fate of nearly the ENTIRE nation at risk of the plague so the guard takes a measly 200 minas to let him in.) ~~ He runs away in fear at sight of a bloodied blade (This is so damn repetitive, WEAK does not work in Mori Society) ~~ He goes and CRIES because of his friend's death (I thought he could not get any further from being like the textbook Mori... He just did) ~~ He cries harder because others watching his friend die honorably in sport (Weak weak weak) ~~ He psychs himself up in a mirror to stop himself from crying (What? I don't even know what to say about that...) I have to say this application was pathetic, I feel that you either read the lore and did not comprehend it, or you did not read some of it at all. There have been some terrible applications, this is not the worst, and effort was put into it, but the character you created would not last 1 Elven week. It also strays so far away from the lore I would NEVER accept this character as he is. He would be picked off as he is such a terrifically WEAK and PATHETIC, SNIVELING COWARD If you don't like the rubber stamp Denied Graphic here are a few others I am working on
  11. The lore is mostly correct in the CoM and the wiki pages, though we do need to update them. One of the most major changes would be there is no longer a Valsharess(Queen), instead it is a council that rules the city. At the moment I would have to say one of the best ways to learn the new lore is by experience. I feel it helps to learn the newer lore in character because depending on who you hear it from it will also shadow on how your character looks on the new changes as well. Half-breeds are more prevalent in the city among many many other things. You did the right thing drawing from the CoM and maybe the wiki, its on us to update everything. ^Clicky^
  12. Alright, First off. Vlosszuk'r means basically Bloodtreader I liked your application, it was good in a few places, but I have to say Denied. The points I would like to highlight to be improved are these: -(Not too Important) Your hair color is black, According to our lore its generally a white-ish color. You could dye the hair black though. -(Kinda Important) "He's not about to crack his emotional facade in the midst of a higher ranking male and especially not in the presence of a priestess." Males are generally not very high ranking save for the noble males, but even they aren't very important. Females are the leaders and revered ones in the culture. Certain emotions are also a sign of weakness (Love especially). -(Important) In your second paragraph of your biography you state this "Not only could he reap the benefits of punishing a larger target but also gained allegiances on both sides of conflict. He bore the title "honest" because of his alertations to the misdirected theft." That is HIGHLY unusual, the Mori are all deceitful and cunning. Treachery. Deceit. Death. This is simply the way in which we live... It's a way of life to act like your character does, he would generally not be recognized as honest. I personally would go so far to stay being completely honest would make my character MORE suspicious of a person. -(Important) "He dresses slightly more modestly as to hide some scars" He is also showing his weakness by dressing in less revealing clothes. I do not understand why he would wish to cover these scars, in fact it would be more a reason to show off his strength. 'Mori do not wear provocative/scandalous clothing because they feel sexy in it. It’s a sign of strength and power, proving their superiority to other more modest dressed by revealing they have no imperfections or flaws to hide and they are strong enough to not be dependent on heavy armour to cover them up.' -(VERY Important) "The only thing that excels his hunger for recognition and power is his allegiance to her Royal Tyranny and the state of Menorcress." That is the epitome of weakness, and is a VERY rare trait in a Mori. Allegiance, you said your character LUSTS for power, that he would do ANYTHING to obtain greater power. Yet, he give his allegiance to the queen, who, very possibly is the reason he lacks power. What I would say is the most important things in a Mori's life is like this: 1. Nemiisae, The Eternal Mother 2. Their own lives/power. 3. Everything else Once these few points are addressed I'll look at it again. Also, the application is a little bit outdated and the lore has evolved a bit. If you have any questions feel free to ask :)
  13. ((really... "I metagamed the night of the black out so I just happen to plan the world-wide masquerade ball the exact time of the black out..." Also, it wouldn't be a cool the night is still young deal in those days. As far as I know Aegeans have never experienced a solar eclipse. It would be more of a "What's going on!? Where is the Sun!?!? END OF THE WORLD! IBLEES IS BACK!" reaction. I really don't care if you're a lord and you can do what you want, but this entire event screams Metagaming the Eclipse/extended night for the night of your ball... I do not care about the event I think its a wonderful Idea, I am 100% against it happening at the moment due to how badly it screams of metagaming the time and date.))
  14. ((You might be planning an event for the blackout, but to my knowledge so far the only ones who know about the extended night ICly are the Mori'Quessir.))
  15. ((I am sorry but I read this and all I see is high elves going into the mines of moria to fight the balrog :/ LOTR maniac here lol))
  16. ((You need a VA to kill, deceive, and Murder.))
  17. Even a big Tiger can get spooked by something small... Even more so should kittens :3 Proof
  18. ((erm does my home still count I bought one forever like... 27 IG years ago lol... Do i still own it O.o lol Also, whats to stop me from reading a scroll I see tucked away near someone's door, or even ON the door if they have not read it and taken it inside yet?))
  19. ((WoW Blood Elves coming into LOTC? World of Warcraft Wiki Blood Elves
  20. Weeberlore Won the Asulon Novella Competition Nice Job!

  21. *Silith was walking towards Haelun'or when a somewhat familiar smell reached him, that of death. Intrigued he looked around for the source of the scent. He climbs a tree to get a better view of the area. He sees a High Elven girl kneeling beside something and another hurrying away. He curses under his breath as he realizes he missed a prime opportunity to catch the intrusive High Elf. He then glances at the body with Lona kneeling beside it. He smiles at the gruesome scene before him and says.* "Ha! Uss d'l''pure'ussen elghinyrr lu'wun natha mzilst ssin'urn hybril. Usstan z'klaen ragar l'uss vel'uss xunus nindol lu'falduna mina whol nind bronretla wynthe" *Climbs nimbly to a closer tree and conceals himself in the lush boughs which are covered in leaves to watch what happens to the body and see if he can get a chance at punishing the Elvish trespasser*
  22. ((I guess I won't be coming seeing how our characters aren't too happy with each other and I am banished from the city ^^))
  23. ((I said it in Mori on purpose in Menorcress... so it doesn't matter))
  24. *Walks past the poster and is confused that it made it into Menorcress* "Vel'bol mal'ai skrel nindol ghil?" *tears the poster down and places the map into his pouch, before throwing the rest of the poster into a nearby furnace* "Usstan xal inbal ulu elgg l'wael vel'uss kuuv'd skrel nindol ghil."
