Hello, I believe I've something to offer in this situation, if I'm given the liberty of explaining myself. I have been interested for some time now in playing the role of a child, and doing so in a believable manner. I find it is often an unappreciated and difficult role, and one of the few I've not yet taken part in. I find your take on the matter particularly interesting, as it involves a character being played from infancy, having the entirety of it's life played.
It is worth mention that I've yet to get on the server once, as I'm entirely new to the community, having only just registered in the forums. I have read the lore for both humans and elves, and the surface lore for The Holy Oren Empire, not delving into it's history, as it was not my intention to play a character who would have such knowledge in any case. I am by no means unfamiliar to rp, and it is one of my most enjoyed past times. I'm often told my rp is enjoyable and believable, and I thoroughly delight in realistic and sound minded play. I do live in the EST American timezone, so this is also to our plausible advantage.
As for the child itself, I was happy to see you've a name for your own offspring, and agree with your reasons. As for the gender, I would prefer to play a boy, if only because the male name suits me better, but I am quite willing to decide it based on the real-world 50/50 likelihood, and flip a coin to decide the gender. On the matter of my not having created a whitelisted character for this server yet, where some would see a hinderance, I see an opportunity. A child is a blank slate, knowing nothing about the world around it. While I know geography and general outlook of the races and their capital cities, I am otherwise entirely ignorant. I detest metagaming, and take great strides to avoid the offense whatever the case. My point being that in addition to my care not to breach the fourth wall, my not having been exposed to the places and people of LoTC will, in my opinion, provide an auxiliary standpoint to the whole role, helping me further get into character, and play a believable infant, toddler, child, and hopefully in due time adult. ^_^
Whatever your decision, I salute your attempts at going about it well, and hope the best for you. If you're interested in my playing the role, I can be contacted easily enough either through this thread or over a forum pm. I've a skype account I'm willing share should you wish to speak to me on the matter in real time, if only to further gauge my ability, and to facilitate questions I'm certain we both have.
Thank you for your consideration,
-AiRift :)
EDIT: It's been a couple days, but my offer remains standing until the OP has the opportunity to look these over. I find myself checking back every couple hours, it's really quite exciting. xD
