What are your characters? Are you willing to sacrifice any to become a Event member?

I currently play Crona Lunas the Human, Alyn Aylanir the High Elf, and Fozil'Dom the Orc. I am most definitely willing to sacrifice one, but I have yet to decide since they are all quite fun to play on.

EDIT: I now have a whole whitelisted account to work with just for events.

What race / group do you think your events would best cater to? If none in particular, give an example of the type of group that your events would entertain.

I think due to my experience playing so many races around the server, I wouldn't specifically cater to one group. I have to admit it would be difficult to me to bring as much knowledge and fun to the dwarves because they are the race I have yet to play. I believe with a bit of planning and reading up on lore, I could cater to all of the races and people on the server with entertaining events.

What do you believe are key factors for a successful event?

When was the last time you saw a event?

What strengths could you contribute to the Event Team? Are you knowledgeable in lore or great at organizing?

I think that if I were to join the event team I would work well with my creativity as should all the ET members, but I feel that I am quite the imaginative person. I feel that I am also quite the team player even though I may come off as a follower. Not to mention that I wouldn't mind getting something done. Therefore I would call myself a dedicated worker and have an insatiable satisfaction for progress. I would also consider myself quite familiar with the LOTC lore and server workings since I have been here a while.

Why do you want to be part of the ET?

Create three distinct RP scenarios/events based on LOTC lore that you would organize.

These are pitches to the Managers and Ouity, not to the community. Note: Not all of the group must be handled at once. Eg: 20+ people via 5 person increments in a dungeon.

The Riddles To Life

   A small group of adventures happens to be wandering down the stone road when they spot a little goblin seemingly in a panic. He quickly asks around until he can find someone willing to talk to him. Upon questioning, the goblin explains in stutters that he has been plagued with a severe curse. The only way to remove it is to concoct a very special potion and needs the help of some "really smart people" to help get him an ingredient for an antidote. He soon explains to the adventurers that the ingredient comes from a monster in a nearby cave.

   If the group chooses to go with the goblin, he will take them to an entrance. As they near the mouth of the cave, the gobo explains that the animal is harmless but getting there is too hard for him to do alone. The adventurers soon enter and are confronted with an empty room with nothing but a riddle inscribed on the wall next to a magical glyph. The players ponder the answer for a short time, with the gobo giving hints if it gets too hard. If answered incorrectly, small doors will open around the room, letting out small hordes of spiders or zombies for the players to defeat. If answered correctly, they move to the next room. There are three riddles in total before the players get to the final room.

   This room is almost completely pitch black except for a faint torch or two. In the center of the room, nestling on a large bed of hay is a humongous and golden tinted cow. The goblin instructs the players to stay back while he goes and milks the cow. The room is eerily quiet but as it seems, the goblin seems to be able to milk the creature with no trouble. That is, until he starts making his way back to the adventurers. 

  As he steps forward the room begins to rumble a stone or two fall down behind the goblin and he trots carefully towards the adventurers with his two precisely measured cups. He hands them to his party members and instructs them to make it out without spilling them. While the party rushes back through the riddle rooms, the cave seems to be collapsing in on itself, making it harder for them to escape especially with all the milk. If they are able to succeed with little spilling, the gobo meets them outside and they go back to his house

  Soon they arrive and wait a minute or two while the goblin prepares his potion. Much to the groups surprise he comes out with not a potion but a cake! He soon explains in a saddened manner that he wanted to make himself a really special birthday cake and he just wanted some people to spend time with and share his cake with. If the players are not mad at their new gobo friend they have a wonderful feast with some extra good cake and perhaps some prizes afterwards.

The Whispers In The Distance:

   Rumor around the town/ uzg is there have been whispers emanating from the desert. Almost pained cries have been heard like white noise almost 24/7. No one knows why or has dared to venture to find out yet. After the whispers are starting to be heard by a few players that decide to investigate, the sound will begin to entice them to follow the direction of the cries. The sound is soon tracked down to a large tree. I would allow the players to investigate their surroundings for some cleverly placed hints that this is their phase #1 battle.

   Soon an over-sized bird swoops down, taking a swipe at one of our heroes. Depending on how many players are at the event I will scale the power of the enemy. As our adventurers take the first few attacks at the bird, they will realize it seems too quick to take down without a plan. This is when they would need to think up their strategy. I will leave this part open ended with some solutions being found upon closer inspection. Some of these could be, the bird is afraid of fire as seen as it attempts to turn itself around as it passes a nearby torch, or the adventurers would notice ropes strewn about the ground around the tree with which they can wrap around the trees to catch the bird in a makeshift trap, or a personal favorite of mine, diplomacy and friendliness. The adventurers would try to calm the bird and after seeing this I would have the bird become injured and grounded to see if the players react in a hostile manner. If not, they will then succeed the battle.

   After succeeding the battle, whether it be by combat, trap, friendliness, and so on, the bird would suddenly become grounded and transform into a little girl. This little girl would explain to the players that their adventure is not over yet. The only reason she had become a bloodthirsty, oversized bird was because she was cursed by an demon-like man who kept her prisoner in a nearby cave. The players can then choose whether they have had enough or if they wish to continue on their quest.

   Their new companion could then lead them to the cave in which a great cackling echoes about the damp, dark walls. As the players begin their journey into the cave, a mysterious force will seemingly toy with them: blowing out their torch, causing winds, echoing sounds across the walls, or even causing a few minor illusions. Eventually the adventurers will find the heart of the cave in which there is a large chest. At the point when it is seen, the little girl will suddenly go silent and hide behind her new party. All of the tricks will stop as they enter the chest room, that is until they open it. As they do so, the cackling cacophony multiples its volume tenfold. A large man wearing a jester's outfit, twice the size of a human appears from the chest and battle #2 begins. Players will soon notice as the jester man flies around the room that his room is filled with burning urns, which he appears at every now and again, stopping for slight moments. As the players soon discover if not on their own then with the help of the girl, that as they break the urns, he stops for increasing amount of times before attacking again. After all the urns have been shattered, the jester will appear heaving on the ground in the center of the room. This is when the adventurers are able to execute their final boss who then seemingly reverts back into a chest. Inside they will find some prizes if I am allowed by the other ETs to do such.

The Archive's Labyrinth:

   Great bells chime throughout the capital cities around Athera, inviting everyone to the library and home of the great scholar and wizard, Rameses Etherian. As his last wish he sent his scribes out to invite all the people of Athera to take part in a game of wit and willpower to see who the truly brave and intelligent men are. The question is, which race will make it to the end first? The participants are instructed into a tower with an elaborate underground labyrinth. Once inside they soon find many tricky puzzles that almost seem impossible. That is until one of them realizes that the only way to make it through the labyrinth is to work together. The labyrinth will feature team puzzles where communication is the most important skill and even the need for orcs to reach something high up or knock something down as well as halflings to crawl into small spaces to retrieve a key of sorts. Overall, I want the labyrinth to incorporate everyone there using something unique to them to help advance the group.

   Once the players begin to near the end they find themselves in one last maze throughout the labyrinth and it almost seems as if it is a race to reach the end, but as the front runners approach the last room they see {number of races participating} pedestals. It seems that each is engraved with a symbol of its race. Once each pedestal has been triggered by its appropriate race, the large door will open in front of them, revealing a nearly empty room with one man standing in the middle. It is the ghost of Rameses Etherian to explain the meaning of his game. He tells them about how they cooperated to succeed or else no one could have made it to the end. In the end he may distribute some small prizes or have hidden a few items throughout the labyrinth that way the players find some purpose to their venture. I plan for this to be completely wit and teamwork based with no combat involved.

How long do you plan to stay in the ET?

Tell me a joke

I am no good at jokes so I am going to give you some puns.

When Crona was born he was hated

by his parents. He never discovered why his parents had a child but, he

knew they did not want one. He was kept in terrible conditions living

in the closet of his parent's inn room. He was kept like a pet. He only

saw his parents when he was fed their leftover meal   of a bit of bread

and whatever ale was left. He never was let outside of the inn room.

Crona spent his time listening to conversations and fights from the

downstairs tavern. He learned all he could about what was outside his

walls. He was extremely skinny from lack of food. As for drink, he had

little more than strong ale. His parents would become annoyed whenever

Crona asked them anything. Crona did not even know his parents name or

his last name.

 

 

 

Cruel Child Continuance:

 

   At the age of seven, Crona's

parents couldn't feed an extra mouth. They couldn't even keep the inn

room. Since his parents were out of money he was thrown to the streets.

His parents left him alone in front of the tavern just sitting there. No

goodbye or direction. Crona heard his stomach grumble when he sat in

the road. Crona realized he needed to get food from someone. He was

lucky enough to knwo some Common so he could speak. Stumbling around

Crona would ask people for food. He had no luck until he saw some

dwarves sitting on a bench. 

 

   "C-c-can I have food, p-please?" Crona said looking at the dwarves

weakly. The dwarves began to laugh and whisper to one another.

 

   "We don't have any but, if ye go

over there ye can ask some fellas in that building," a dwarf said

pointing to the royal castle. Crona did the best of what he could to run

over to the castle. After being pushed down twice and told to watch

where he was going once he had made it. He walked carefully up to the

gate as he saw a man walk out.

 

   "Can I have food?" Crona spoke. The man chuckled and pushed through Crona.

 

  "Find yer own food peasants,

heheheh," The man replied. In Crona's memory peasant was an insult at

the inn. Crona kicked the man in the leg out of rage. He was then chased

into a crowd by the man's guards but, they had quickly lost sight of

him. He continued begging for food as his years slipped away.

 

 

 

Agonizing Adolescent Ages:

 

   Crona grew to the age of

fourteen. He soon learned about books and writing. He wished to learn to

read and write but he could not afford anything. It was not as easy

begging for food now because he was no longer a child. He had searched

the streets and trash bins for what he had eaten. One day Crona was

promised food in return for a small amount of manual labor. Later he

found out that the man was trying to sell him into slavery. Crona starts

to lose all hope in humanity. After Crona was finding his daily meal of

a carrot someone dropped he hears something coming from a nearby

alleyway where he sometimes searches for food. He peaks around the

corner of a building and sees two men. One begins to talk.

 

   "Please no sir, I need these mina to buy my food, I have a wife and children," He says.

 

   "I am tired of your resistance! I am

done!" The other man says as he stabs the victim clear in the heart with

a dagger. The man now notices Crona and motions for him to come closer.

Crona hesitates and slowly moves towards the man.

 

   "Don't be scared I am Sektran who are you?" The man says as he smiles at Crona.

 

   "I-I am C-Crona," Crona replies hesitantly.

 

   "Crona don't tell anyone what you saw

and I will help you okay?" Sektran says. They then continue to talk.

Crona tells Sektran he wishes to learn to read and write and most

importantly grow to be strong like Sektran. Sektran tells him to keep

quite and gives him a bit of food a book to learn to read and a journal

to write in. Crona learned to write soon after and saw Sektran around

the city every once in a while. Crona had possessions now. A journal, a

book, and hope. One day Crona saw Sektran being taken to a crowd by two

armed Imperials. Then and there, Sektran was hanged by the empire for

multiple counts of murder and robbery. Crona will never forget his last

words.

 

  "CURSE YOU CRONA, YOUR THE ONE WHO SHOULD BE UP HERE!"

 

  After that Crona had finally learned how to write and he wrote one thing:

 

    I was given hope in this world of grey.

 

   But for my happiness the my one friend taken away.

 

 

 

 

 

Petrifiying Present Pains:

 

   Crona now is in a world of sadness

that he could not be brought out of. He looks for more ways to kill

those who have good lives that they take for granted and the officials

of the empire. He uses the much easier way of obtaining food, stealing.

Other than gathering food all Crona does is sit around and cry. He is

getting more and more consumed with killing and stealing and becoming

powerful. He wishes to be the most powerful man so he can get whatever

he wants like all the nobles he utterly despises. Crona is even

beginning to kill for money and to please people that make his goal of

more power easier. He hides his crimes as well as he can. Crona will

continue going deeper and deeper into crime until his life is consumed

 

by his thirst for power.

 

Crona’s father was an alcoholic, argumentative, abusive criminal. He payed for his food and inn room as a highwayman. His father suffered from the mental illnesses: Bipolar I and Bipolar II. These were passed down to Crona and he developed them at a young age. Bipolar I causes a person to have times when they become extremely optimistic and would easily take risks. This will cause Crona to do dangerous things when he is having fun or is being praised during one of his Bipolar I episodes. Bipolar II causes a person to have times when they become extremely depressed, angry, or irritable. This will cause Crona to become extremely mad, depressed, or even flat out insane. During his Bipolar II manias he may do things like avoid his friends, go rob or kill someone to take out anger, even cut himself to see blood spill.

Crona was a very untrusting person at first. He slowly begun to break his shyness for survival purposes and greed. He joined a slaving group, uneasy at first but, was soon accepted an given an apprenticeship to one of the leaders, The Brittle Man. Brittle begins to teach him the ways of being a successful criminal and gaining infamy throughout Anthos. Since Crona had joined the organization, many problems among the members have sprouted. Crona would look around and see the men of his group fight and draw each other’s blood. Much like the cannibalism, he soon found this to be typical and ignored it. He had decided to deal with these things for he finally had a home and people that would protect him. As the fights grew larger around him Crona began to once again feel uneasy. Some of the other members believed that it would be best to eliminate a controlling member. The lover of Brittle, Crona’s master. Crona went along with the plan until some of the people that were in on it ratted them out. He couldn’t believe that those he trusted once again betrayed him. He was enraged when he found out but, it was too late. He was captured by the others and endured much torture. The torture was what caused Crona to slip over the edge. Due to his depression and Bipolar I and II, he developed a severe case of Schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a mental disorder that causes the victim to see, hear, feel, and smell things that are not actually there. Crona has one particular voice that he hears. This voice takes over different names depending on traumatic events in Crona’s life. At one point the voice in his head was called Alitaus, the man who claim to be his brother that tried to kill him. The generic name that he calls the voice is “Master.” After Crona has more experiences with the voice in his head, he will begin to have other senses triggered by his schizophrenia. His mental illness causes him to hear and eventually see things that can trick him into doing something by frightening him, angering him, or convincing him he will benefit from it. In Crona’s eyes the voice “Teaches him.” This is because he believes almost all the things his voice tells him. He is convinced because the voice is in his subconscious and it guides Crona to do what he would do if he freely had no morals. Crona’s emotions play a big roll in what his voice would say. For an example, after Crona was tortured and locked in a room here would be the interaction with he and his voice.

 

Crona is thrown into the house as he drags himself into the corner so he can sit up. He pants loudly from the cauterized wounds. As he blinks in and out of consciousness he begins to hear something.

“Wake up child. This is Brittle’s doing Crow. Get up Crow.”

Crona attempts to drag himself to a sitting position almost ignoring the voice due to his pain. He grits his teeth as he moves.

“Kill him Crow. He is corrupt. Alex showed you to kill the corrupt.”

Crona thinks about Alex, the rebel he fought by. Alex had later killed himself. This flares up Crona’s anger even more as he gets to a knee and moves slowly towards the door. He taps the door open and for the next fifteen minutes he crawls up to a drunken Brittle’s room. Inside he hears Brittle and his lover arguing about alcohol. Crona then feels a large jolt in his side. Looking down he sees his throwing knife. With an expression of hatred, Crona removes the throwing knife from its sheath and taps the door. Luckily it is open and Crona stands up his legs wobbling. The rest is a blur in Crona’s mind. He was killed.

This shows how Crona’s anger affected the voice and how he did not care what the voice did or said for his emotions had taken over. He didn’t doubt the voice was real or fake but, he knew what he wanted and the voice told it to him. As you notice the voice calls Crona “Crow.” This is an alias the Brittle man gave to Crona and is also what he is called by the members of the group. Ever since he had accepted the name, he looked at Crows as friends or brothers. The voice always refers to Crona as an actual crow. This is because Crona watches the simple and happy life of the birds in envy. Wishing slightly to be a crow. The voice takes his thoughts to extremes like this. Due to having the Bipolar Disorder Crona’s schizophrenia takes his emotions to extremes causing him to commit criminal actions during his Bipolar manias (episodes).

As Crona begins to use the voice to amplify his thoughts and to his beliefs, give him advice to what he should do (like kill Brittle in the example above). Since Crona thinks that he learns and takes advice from the voice, he accepts the generic title of master although, it is more likely taking on the name of a person in Crona’s past such as Alitaus or Brittle. “Master” has begun giving Crona more and more advice from what Crona can see. The inner paranoia is leading the voice to tell Crona things such as that he should trust no one or that a certain person is corrupt and Crona should never listen to them. These things are causing Crona to believe the world is turning against him.

 

[in Athera]

With The Reagents of the Mask split up, Crona finds himself in denial. "The Reagents are just playing hide and seek." Corvo and Brittle, the old leaders, are just pranking him in his mind. He scowers Athera for the lost members, hoping to one day reunite them so things can go back to the way they were with his old master Brittle. He joins two new groups. The Ravens and The Invictus to give him purpose until he finds the Reagents. After finding one of the members, "Harbinger", his old friend tries to explain to him that the Reagents are gone and Crona's searches have been for nothing. Crona responds with extreme sadness, anger, and denial. Without the Reagents he is purposeless. Crona ran off and continues to search around Athera for the rest of his old group.
