~ Hello, everyone! ~ I don't think anyone here would recognize me, but my name is Beth, and I'm hoping to return roleplaying on Lord of the Craft! Last I was active, I was a human baker just outside the city walls of Oren back in Asulon around 2013/2014. I stopped being active around when Asulon was abandoned. I've tried at various points since then to get back into LotC, but usually I tend to get bored wandering through lonely cities with no sense of direction. I would just go to whatever city hub there was, try to find someone, and try to RP with them. A bit dumb on my part, but I didn't really have much of a clue at the time. So I guess this post is me asking for more direction in addition to being an introduction to me and my character! SO without further ado, let me introduce you to: ~*~+~*~+~*~+~*~< Ꙩ >~*~+~*~+~*~+~*~ Sonya Petrovna Starkova ~*~+~*~+~*~+~*~< Ꙩ >~*~+~*~+~*~+~*~ Race: Human (Highlander) Age: 31 Height: 6'2" Weight: 165lbs The first impression of Sonya Starkova to most individuals can be summed up in three words: "tall and intimidating." Wearing the practical clothing of an aspiring businesswoman, she evokes an air of confidence even with her middling means. Sonya's father was an excellent businessman and negotiator, eventually conniving his way into buying the parcel of land in the Attenlund that she was born upon. Her mother was herself the daughter of a minor noble's third son, enchanted by the father's silver tongue. Her mother, being raised in minor nobility but having partially regretted her decision to marry a lowborn man, elected to educate Sonya in the ways of etiquette in hopes of gaining prospects later in life, however, with her height, and not being any particular kind of attractive, Sonya from a fairly early age knew she was not destined to be the wife of any nobility. Nor did she particularly want to, for that matter. While Sonya felt comfortable enough with her mother's lessons, she always felt more attuned to the mercantile trips that her father would take her on in her adolescence. The Starkovs eventually found that their daughter was gifted in the field of arithmetic in particular, which her father did his best to nourish. Eventually, Sonya took over the family's finances, and through a few key loans to a nearby merchant, the Starkovs had come unto a comfortable enough lifestyle to afford some luxury, namely Sonya's favorites: strong tea and the occasional dry red wine. However, this lifestyle could not last forever, as behind her back, her father had been gambling away the Starkovs' money little by little in his old age, leading up to him taking a few seedy loans that he could not possibly pay off. The small fortune that Sonya had amassed and the land that her father had worked so far to obtain in the first place was taken in one fell swoop, and the family was left destitute. Her mother went to spend the rest of her days with Sonya's aunt, and Sonya had abandoned her father out of anger soon after their destitution. His condition is unknown to Sonya, but due to his old age and lack of direction, she assumes him to be dead. A year after her impoverishment, she now roams Almaris in search of opportunity to restore her former wealth. ~*~+~*~+~*~+~*~< Ꙩ >~*~+~*~+~*~+~*~ This is my first time creating a character for MC roleplay in a while, and I am also writing this while listening to a musical at 3AM, so please let me know if nothing makes sense or it's just bad. I won't take it personally, I promise <3

I do! I'm by no means an expert, but I can certainly introduce you to the subject! P.S. I realize that most of the cultural lore has changed completely. Does anybody mind filling me in?

No, unfortunately, I do not! I barely have a grasp of basic Vietnamese, and I am terrible at pronunciation, to be frank.

Dia daoibh! Hello to you all! My name is Jon, although you may call me by a variety of nicknames. Some include, but are not limited to: Trickster, by which I was formerly known on the forums; birb, which is self explanatory; bird, which is a more formal nickname derived from the previous one; Minty, derived from my favorite color! I had an urge to play some Minecraft with my boyfriend recently, and I fondly remembered my experiences on this server. With the skill system and its cooking system, I sold various foodstuffs whilst roleplaying on the server. I believe it's been about a year since I last logged onto LoTC (is it still by that abbreviation?), and with how fast things were changing then, I wouldn't be surprised if yet more has changed since! As for my life outside of Minecraft, I'm currently a student, and am an aspiring linguist! I create languages in my spare time, am more or less fluent in Irish and Latin, fluent in two of my created languages, and I am fluent in English. I'm currently studying Vietnamese, and let me tell you: it is not easy to learn Vietnamese as a native English speaker! I sometimes draw things, and sometimes paint things. They aren't very good! I am an amateur calligrapher, and have been practicing the art for a couple months now. I like to garden, although because I live in an apartment, it certainly isn't easy to do so! Speaking of gardening, I like flowers. I like flowers a lot. I put flowers on everything. Roses are the best, but most flowers are good.

[A small paper is posted to boards all over Oren. It reads:] Hello, dear craftsmen and artisans of Oren! I am currently both unemployed and have no skill in any craft. If you are looking to hire or take a young man under your wing, send a bird to Daíhgerté Láidfot

So... this is a bit of an off-topic question, but I need it answered: I'm planning on proposing another language for some lore. First of all, am I able to propose this? Second, where would I post it?

*A letter is sent in* "Hello, Cpt. Volker! I would like to serve at your bar, I find myself a decent entertainer, and am able to serve drinks of all kinds! I am also willing to tidy up afterwards. Right now I am simply looking for a way to pay for a house, as the one in Thales that I had was left behind, obviously. I do have some experience bartending from my father's tavern, but nothing outside of that. Anyways, no need to keep blabbering on my part. Send me a bir - oh! I just forgot! Due to some outside constraints, I am not able to do the job regularly, and only for a bit less than a year, or about four to five elven days as of writing this letter. Forgive me for the inconvenience. Send me a bird! ~Buachailldraíochta Dóiteáinceann"

*SNIP*

Love this guy! +1!

So I was going to make it myself, but I suck at skinning. So, I was wondering if anyone would be as kind as to make this skin unhooded. I have no other preferences other than keep in mind he's middle-aged, a human, and will have brown hair.
