~ 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.

     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

Say, you like linguistics? I'm only 14 so I still have a lot of career options ahead of me, but I'm considering a career in linguistics. I'm damn near fluent in Latin (but not quite there). So you seem cool! Oughtta come back!

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?

Just now, Man of Respect said:

Do you know any other asian language? I'm chinese btw

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?

-snip!-

*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!

*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.

Never. It was a joke.

HELL YES! A RELEASE DATE!

I swear if you are just messing with us I will ******* kill you.

((I like how both you and you have LoTR related profile pics))

[!] A peculiar looking, exotic bird lands on a branch next to you [!]

[!] The bird carries a letter, saying: [!]

"Hello! I am afraid that I should not publicize my name, as the practice of the arcane is forbidden in my location. I believe that I might be of some interest of you, as I have been taught to use the void. Unfortunately, however, my teacher died during my days as a student due to the Imperial Army. I managed to escape. Now, seeing this post in the Cloud Temple, I feel a spark again that I have only experienced when I was first being taught the arcane. So I ask of you, will you accept me as your apprentice?

P.S. I am leaving this bird with you until you decide to reply. Once that time has come, just simply attach the rolled up letter to its leg and it will know to come back to me."

[!] The bird squawks at you as you look at it [!]

Honestly, I really like the new crafting system. Keeping certain items specific to certain areas (not to mention adding new ones) is a great idea. However, I suggest removing wait times.

*Hidden due to breaking off of the academy*

Thank you!

Do you need to apply again for a new persona?

"Dear my friends and comrades,

       I must take my leave for I fear I may be killed. However, not by a sword or a dagger; my heart will still be beating, but it will not be mine. I fear that they may try to hurt you as I die slowly. The voices are starting to take me. To Lord Frost, to whom I am loyal, I hope you may forgive me. To Dain Bolton, you are a very nice man, and I wish that I could stay longer. To Triss Ayala, even though we have barely met, you have still been very kind. To all of those I have left behind, I bid you farewell.
