How about this?

Well, I'd rather not really belong to anyone, at least in the begginning. By the way, will this skin be a good enough start?

I was thinking a woman character if that's alright. Don't know how historical your laws will be though, so I will play a man if I can't, you know, own property as a woman or something.

This town looks very awesome. Would you mind if my alternate character lived here? I am not much familiar with celtic or slavic cultures, but I would be leaning towards one of them ove r Scandinavian.

*A reply is left* I would be interested in possibly renting two wolves, one male and one female, in the interest of perhaps breeding a pup. Please contact me if this would be possible.

((I only met you once in-game, though I met other members of your bands at different times. I must say, we were simply the best villain/bandit rp-er on the server. Your actions created a lot of good roleplay. We need good villains like you to allow for fun roleplay, and a chance for heroes.))

(So like thirty minutes after whaterver hour it is where you are?)

(What is a good time to meet online?) Where shall I send the bird? (MC name?)

*Oseric posts a note below it* I have plenty of cobblestonem, and would be happy to sell you some. Meeting in the cloud temple woould be best, though I can travel to any city.

*Oseric straps on his stone sword, as he is poor at the moment. He stares at for a while* I'll need to buy some equipment.

There really was no "First Human" Evolution is a gradual process taking place over eons. The common ancestor of all organisms would not have resulted in more organisms unless it could survive on Earth. Why it could, well, that's not the question here. New organisms evolving from this ancestor had to have helpful mutations to survive to outbreed it. Only the organisms with helpful mutations that could survive, survived. Evolution does not state that humans randomly appeared and evolved to fit there environment. Rather, gradual mutation and natural selection of now-extinct organisms led to the diversity of flora and fauna we see in the world today. Tiny, tiny changes add up to evolution, not a single stage change from, for example, Homo Habilus to Homo Sapiens. (I realize these species didn't even directly precede each other, but Homo Habilus is, I believe, an ancestor of modern humanity.)

I quite agree. No sense debating if you aren't on the same page. Evolution: A natural process which leads to new forms of beings. It is based on the principle of natural selection. Random mutations in DNA lead to slight variations in organisms. These variations, if helpful, result in creatures with the new DNA thriving, and the trait becomes more and more common. As this occurs many times throughout eons, in combination with geographic seperation, speciation occurs once so many minor changes in DNA have occurred the new creature and the old cannot interbreed. Creation: A conjecture typically based on ancient superstition, relying typically on deities, aliens, or flying pasta, stating that all the evidence for evolution is somehow a hoax or a conspiracy, typically stating creatures magically appeared near or in their current forms. I speak here of New Earth creationism, of course, referring to a literal or near literal interpretation of ancient mytholoogies. (I am sorry I could not seperate bias from this definition. Not really though.)

Actually many beings on earth don't have the organs we do, and they seem to get along just fine.... If you want in depth examples of how each miniature stage of a hypothetical organ developing could be useful, I would be willing to go into more depth. Also, life evolves and changes to fit its environment. Therefore, the planet humans live on currently fits human life because humans evolved to fit it. We would not evolve on a planet where we couldn't exist. Humans did not just appear empty shells and evolve organs to fit inside them. That is not how the theory works. Life began as some sort of simple replicating organisms, though as others have stated, the begginning of all life is not the debate in this thread. In any case, these simple forms slowly diversified due to random copying errors as they bred. The new forms most suited to their environments thrived, and those not suited died off. Eventually, diversity led to organisms growing more complex, continuing to modern life. I won't say I can explain things extremely well, but that is what books on science are for.

*A short question is placed in the box* My Lord Marshall Denims, At what elven time shall our meeting be arranged? I do not spend a lot of time in Arethor at the moment. Oseric Ivansen Cyrielle (I am typically on the server at weird times, and would prefer not having both of us searching for eachother while the other is not online.)

I am now going to try to enter the debate on the side of evolution, though my fellows have already stated things rather eloquently. I think I know where this is going, but I will wait for your "point".

*Oseric takes notice of the poster whilst passing through the cloud temple. He leaves a note* Hello. My name is Oseric Ivansen Cyrielle, of House Cyrielle. I am a farmer of some modest skill, however, do to current circumstances I lack in funds. Is it possible some sort of morgage might be worked out?

*You see a note posted in Arethor* A dire threat has been seen. Tobias's sighting is not false. Whilst wandering the countryside of the fair kingdom of Renatus, I have witmnessed a terrible being. A dragon. I was near the tent of a Silverblade when I first saw it in the distance. Unsure of its appearance, I tracked it down. In the mountains around the keep of Braxis Silverblade I saw it. Descending over a mountain peak it roared and dug into me with its claws. Realizing this foe was beyond my power, I ran. I have come straight to this city so that others may be notified of the threat. I would be willing to provide more information if needed.

*Oseric recieves a bird telling him of the reformation of his mother's house* I must head south to Renatus at all haste. My honor calls me to fight for the house of my mother and my ancestors. *He sends off a bird to the house, inquiring as to where exactly he might find them*

That means I am accepted, right?

((My father was named Olric Ivansen. He was not an actual player on Aegis, I just made him up as part of my characters backstory in the application, though he remained nameless there. My mother was also nameless in the application, but absolutely noone in the house history would fit to be his mother, given his father's death early in the war on the undead. I did not want to make anyone up, but his mother would probably have to have been a sister of Markus.))

MC Name: bobVIII RP Name: Oseric Ivansen Age: 25 Race: Northern Human Relation to House Cyrielle: Oseric's father was a minor noble of some power in the North, and as part of a negotiation for support, was married to a Cyrielle. She raised Oseric herself, teaching him the history of her house and its accomplishments. Oseric seeks to serve the house of his illustrious forefathers, as the house of his father has died out except for him. He would take any position, but would favor service through battle.

((I am interested in possibly joining this noble house. My character is a northerner with blue eyes and blonde hair, son of a minor noble who died in battle. He fled south with his mother after the fall of winterfell. If joining with a current character is allowed, please let me know. His name is Oseric Ivansen,))

(note, you aren’t required to have a sub-race): N/A Biography (Please make this at least 2 paragraphs long. This must include the history of your character and his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.): Phoizt was born in a small colony established by the royal house of d'Lamardii. His colony was called Lamdston, and Phoizt was born into the royal family, hence the distinctive last name. Between the ages of 1 and 5 nothing very eventfull happened to the colony of Lamdston. Phoizt, at the age of 5 was sent to the educational facility near the colony to learn how to ride, fence, speak, calculate, and to learn the basic sciences. This education lasted from when he was 5 to when he was 13, during which time he was almost never at home, since the school was operating almost year round, and he participated in many of the activities that a young boy usually does taking many risks and receiving the consequences willingly. Once he turned 13 and completed the years schooling, he was moved to secondary education, where he learned advanced sciences, advanced calculations, more fencing, speaking, and riding. It was in these years that he met his greatest and most friend, Willid Arcnova. They shared many good times together, as they had many interests in common. Once out of secondary schooling at the age of 20, Phoizt and Willid decided to go to the same Facility of Higher Learning, where they both studied the mind, actions, and behaviors of people. After this time Phoizt and Willid both went off, along with three other friends, to explore new places and study those people, after sailing for about a year, they found a new, inhabited continent, which they later found was called Asulon. Phoizt is around six feet tall, with short-cropped black hair, and ver tan skin, almost to the point of brown. He is an aspiring adventurer/inventor, and has his Ticket of Certification in psychology. Phoizt is also claustrophobic, and so, does not go underground very much. He is, at the moment, working on manufacturing a gas that is lighter than air, so that he may travel the skies. Right now, Phoizt is 22 years of age. What is your Character's ambitions?: To make a gas that is lighter than air and to travel the skies. What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc): Sword. What is one of your Character's most skilled talents? Engineering. A screenshot of your skin (must be in proper format): Other Information about your Character: Open-Response-Questions Whilst traveling from the Cloud Temple you see a small halfling, being harassed by two armed warriors. They appear to be trying to steal money from him, how does your character respond? “And what do you think you are doing?” Phoizt asks, and draws his weapon. If they ignore him and continue their criminal activities, Phoizt attacks. If thay try to attack him, Phoizt will attack back. If they pull out a bow, Phoizt will probably sprint away diagonally. If they surrender, he will turn them into the proper authorities. Your character wanders into Alras, and comes across a small stall, behind which a well dressed man is standing. He’s offering various wares, the merchant turns to you and says in a posh accent " 'ello there, what can I do you for today?" What is your character response? “Em, what do you sell, sir?” Phoizt would buy tools or food, posibly materials if he has none at his house. Whilst wandering in the wilds, your character comes across a small hut, which looks abandoned. Inside it you see a chest containing a few iron bars, and a golden sword. How would your character respond?: I would look around for the rightful owner, then take iron bars if he does not see anyone, if he needs such materials. If he sees the person, he would walk away. Hungry and lost in the wilderness, you stumble across a small trading camp nestled among the forest, they greet you you in the common tongue, how do you respond? “Hello, do you good people happen to have any food, for I am wearied from my long journey.” If they do have foodstuffs, then Phoizt will gratefully take, then ask if he can stay awhile, if yes, he will stay. If no, he will continue his journey. You hear word that bandits occupy the road outside the town in which you have been staying. The town guard have gathered, and are asking for assistance to help eliminate them. The leader of the party is offering a reward for any who offer their support. How does your character act on this information?: I would accept the offer, depending upon what equipment I have on me.
