Briefly explain the lore behind this construct or creature:

Zar'ei are an Inferi with a capacity if intellect rivaling that of the realm's descendents. Filled with equal parts manipulation, maliciousness and survival instincts, they will act insidiously if it means reaching their inevitable goal. Often times these abominations will appear to be abnormal mockeries of their descendent counterpart, counting many warped attributes on behalf of their affiliation with Moz Strimoza. Via their binding to a court, they're enforced to follow their maker/summoner's word and bring them no direct harm. Often times their cooperation are a means of achieving selfish means and will nevertheless tend to result in a descendent's downfall. 

If this construct or creature has some form of aesthetic choice, can you describe how they look? 

The Zar'ei come in many forms, this such one is a Rakaal, a Brute of the three sub-types available for these particular Inferi. Separating him most from descendents is his sooty flesh, drawn taut over preternatural muscle. Alongside is an elongated mouth decorating the top of his scalp, four arms altogether and mottled eyes dotting his head. Altogether he is warped by the powers of Moz Strimoza's denizens, unable to return from whence he came.

What magic(s) will you be teaching?

Earth Evocation

Summarise the Lore of this magic(s):

Earth evocation is the forming of stone and its relatives from the Void utilizing one’s knowledge of the aforementioned subject matter. Much of it is limited to the creativity of the evoker in question, along with their understanding of what they seek to replicate to reality. Distinct limitations are placed over what would require more effort; such as refined ores, tempered metals and egregious amounts of product.

Do you have a magic(s) you are dropping due to this app? If so, link it:

I do not.

Do you agree to keep the ST updated on the status of your magic app?:

Yes.

Have you applied to teach this magic on this character before, and had it denied? If so, link the app.

I have not.

It’s probably evident that there’s going to be bias here and there, and I’m probably guilty of it myself since I’m a part of Ves. With the amount of activity we’ve consistently maintained and the variety of RP one’s able to find in the city, you’d definitely be able to find a sphere similar to what you’ve mentioned you’re looking for with clerical and literary domains. Alongside the sprawling bureaucracy, the people helping manage the city (I’m the City Clerk there, finance stuff,) are very open to new ideas and developments.

If you’ve any questions whatsoever don’t hesitate to reach out to me over the forums or Discord, (Belligerent Boar#9306.) I’m sure one of the others who’ve responded before can explain a bunch of how the city works and functions, but if you’ve got any ideas it’s definitely a good place to start, RP is always facilitated and there’s a ton of routes to take!

Third City Assembly of Ves

14^th of Snow’s Maiden, 1709

In light of the flame of change overtaking Ves, assemblymen and women from different backgrounds gathered to discuss these developments and decide upon new proposals aiding the betterment of the city. As those very politicians and citizens flooded to the courtroom, much was discussed.

Laws

• The Diocese of Villavia shall hold the warehouse adjacent to the school for ecclesiastical necessity.
   
• Indentured servitude is to be limited to the age of twelve, unless the parents consent to which the age is now limited to eight. If a child is born to indentured servitude they will serve until the age of majority, being fourteen. A tithe of all underage indentured servants will go to the Diocese of Villavia to be educated and to assist with ecclesiastical duties.

City Charter Amendments (All City Charter Amendments must be approved by the Adrian Duma)

• (Inherited from the past Duma for legal clarification) [APPROVED] City Charter Amendment I: The removal of     relatives of patricians to be considered automatic freeholders of the City of Ves.
   
• City Charter Amendment II: The creation of two rotating Alderman seats per City Assembly Meeting picked by lot.
   
• City Charter Amendment III: Payment and registration of prospective patricians and freeholders will be done through the City Clerk’s office. To be accepted as a patrician or freeholder you need to be sponsored and voted in by the City Assembly. All funds from applications would go into municipal coffers.
   
• City Charter Amendment IV: The creation of the title of Doge of Ves elected from the local aristocracy to serve for life as head of state to the city and provide written assent and wise counsel to the City Government.

I don't see how the aforementioned precedent isn't an argument.

This is also assuming that a player base previously against anything like Kharajyr reproducing with descendants would swap opinions when it comes to plants as opposed to cats. It's the same basis, and it adds nothing to the RP surrounding the race. The only positive I can see being added from this is wholly founded in a perspective where anyone should be able to do what they want from the argument of people having different tastes; that positive being that if someone wants their character to have sex with a plant they're now enabled to do so. Granted, this would also be a saving grace for the Kharajyr to do the same since it's under the same premise and scenario.

You're not defending anyone, you're just voicing your opinion on a separate topic while eluding to the thread via quoting what Swgr's said thus far in a mocking fashion. Aside from those minor notes you're then typing out paragraphs on the Undead and your dislikes on them. If you have an issue with that you're going to hold a lot more ground making your own thread with thought out criticisms.

Honest to christ I would rather see slice of life ghouls watering gardens than another cookie-cutter "villain" character that exists only to brood and swing his sword at people. I would gladly roleplay on the Inuyasha forum on fanfiction.net if it meant I would not have to listen to another whiny, pretentious hack moan about how people are "dumbing down" his hackneyed, monotonous, squinting-at-people-from-a-dark-corner "quality roleplay." 

 

It's funny how, despite the fact that I have made less of a conscious effort to roleplay with bryophites than I have with ghouls, I can remember more distinct bryophite characters than I can undead. Maybe there's something to be said about "normie slice of life characters" that just can't be said about a group of people all vying to be the most tedious, monotone edgelord, and it's simply more compelling to roleplay with special characters than to listen to someone wax philosophical with stolen Dark Souls quotes and generic, Rick and Morty narcissism. Maybe green plant people fit into the LoTC setting better than the entire made-up history that's meant to justify Xionism as an ideology. 

 

You quite simply have nothing to argue. Your roleplay, or the roleplay of the "notable members" of the Undead isn't better than anyone else's, and I invite you to prove me otherwise. Every ET application thread that has ever been posted is littered with phrases like "quality roleplay" because it means literally ******* nothing. If you have nothing to say about your roleplay other than your friends' hollow praise, you've nothing to say about other people's "highschool bullshit." 

 

I tout "let people RP what they wanna RP :3" because I'm self-aware enough to know that not everyone enjoys my tastes, and I don't enjoy everyone else's. I'll "stay on topic" when you tell me what's wrong with the roleplay outside of smug, meaningless catchphrases like "highschool roleplay bullshit" and when you use your chops as a former lore team member to actually develop an argument.

Making a post surrounding your thoughts goes a long way, which is what the original poster of the thread did. If you have your own issues with the server then that's something else for a different thread. There's no reason to derail something else, which is completely unrelated, just to try and get a point across and jab at another player. I'd address issues you have with Xionism and what not but there's no real reason to do so in this thread. This one is about why someone thinks plant people should not be able to have sex with descendants, and furthermore why they shouldn't then get pregnant with a descendant baby. People have different tastes, but some things can be distinctly unfitting, unless you'd also argue that Kharajyr and descendants should just be able to do the same as Bryophites purely because they have a different taste in RP. There's a place for everything, but I'd argue that setting a precedent of not having sex with anthropomorphic cats simultaneously means not having sex with anthropomorphic plants for obvious reasons.

I don't see any argument defending this piece in the lore from you aside from targeting separate pieces of lore and the players involved with them. What part of a Bryophite having sex is integral to the players' of said Bryophites enjoyment? What does this add and detract from the server and the players in it? Why should they be a form of exception compared to Kharajyr when in all reality, the Kharajyr would want it for the same reason as the Bryphite player base? If you don't see the core of the argument there then that's a different issue altogether.

The Kharajyr can't have children with descendants, I'm of the opinion Bryophites should be the same way. I could be wrong but I'm fairly certain we're not meant to even insinuate anything goes on between descendants and Kharajyr through FTB. (This is certainly the preference by the by, I just don't see why it should be any different for plants in the same way it's disallowed for Kharajyr because it's pretty much bestiality.)

I feel as though this issue could be solved by reporting it to a staff member and removing a player's ability to play a ghoul. As far as reading goes this doesn't seem like it will hinder people from just making a new ghoul for the player. If there's a concern over the quality of roleplay being provided then that seems like the tagline for one of the many staff teams we have to deal with, rather than another addition to Necromancy. At this point it's as though Necromancy needs its own wiki for the assortment of additions made based on current events.

This is all aside from the fact that, from experience, the ghoul's player is more likely to avoid the players hunting them through OOC. That makes it a OOC struggle rather than an IC one; leading back to staff intervention. (i.e. What the solution should've been initially.) Reports just have to be made where necessary, and if that fails, maybe a PK clause similar to the one made when ghoul lore was first made.
