From the looks of the site and lore, LOTC is very professional and serious about roleplaying. I believe the members will be, as well. Have you read and agreed to the rules?: - I've read them and I agree. What’s your favourite rule / the rule you agree with the most?: - My favorite rule is the one stating that you must completely destroy trees when chopping them for wood. People who leave the leaves just floating there seriously bug me! Definitions This is simply so that we can get an understanding of how much you know about roleplaying. Feel free to Google the answers, but make sure that you write the reply in your own words, not another website / person's! What is roleplaying?: - Roleplaying is the act of playing a part in order to experience something different, such as a unique viewpoint of interaction or even life. A lot of times roleplay takes on a fantasy element in order to give players an experience they won't be able to have in reality. What’s metagaming?: - Metagaming is the act of performing an action that defies what the character, as oppose to the player, knows. If you were talking OOCly and a player told you a secret their character had, metagaming would be using this knowledge to your character's advantage when they really shouldn't know it.
What’s powergaming?: - Powergaming usually occurs when a player's character is so desperate to win or achieve a certain goal/position that they will abandon the story and atmosphere to get there. They may also force an emotion on someone before they have the chance to do so themselves. A person who doesn't accept loss may be an example of a powergamer.
In-Character Information Now you actually make your character - be creative but stay reasonable! Make sure they make sense and that they follow lore. Try to come up with a character that you actually want to play. What’s your character called?: - Maryam Trifira What race are they (and sub-race)?: - Human (southeron) What sex are they?: - Female How old are they?: - 22 years old, although Maryam herself doesn't know this Give us a brief description of their life - their story, childhood, family (Include server lore when writing): -
Maryam's parents had always been ones who believed in strong independence and found it hard to work and live with others, so that's how she was raised. She, as an only child, lived on a farm on the edge of New Abresi with them, who taught her to avoid contact with other humans unless absolutely necessary. She lived an average childhood but only left the farm on occasion. Maryam's parents were usually the ones who took quick trips into town to sell the crops or eggs hastily. As a result, she never even thought once about friends or other people because she had been taught all other humans were evil.
At the age of 18, her parents, being the strong advocates of independence that they were, sent her away to make a life for herself in Anthos, if it may be alone, like Maryam was disciplined, or among the company of other humans or races. They didn't care. They just wanted her out.
Maryam roamed for weeks, not knowing where to go. Obviously she didn't stray near the cities or villages, for there was life there. The young girl ended up wandering on the outskirts of civilization for years, making camp in the shallow dips of the plains and slipping into small villages during the dead of night to scavenge for food, each time praying to The Creator that she wouldn't run into someone.
However, one night Maraym was heading back to her makeshift home, a pouch of Elrow Berries that she had come upon in her hand. The girl had just come to a rise in the plains when she was sure she heard footsteps behind her. She turned around and, sure enough, another girl was behind her, who looked to be in her mid-20's. Maryam scrambled away, icy terror engulfing her thoughts and actions. A person! Why was she following her?
The mysterious stranger called out to her, saying she wasn't there to hurt her. That made Maryam feel a little better, because although she had grown up shunning company, she realized that there was a small part of her that was dreadfully lonely. Maryam turned back to the girl. She smiled. A warm, inviting smile. Maybe she wasn't all bad...
The girl gestured for Maryam to come nearer. She did, cautiously, but on the way she nearly tripped over her own feet and the berries she was holding spilled onto the ground. The stranger gasped and chided her for carrying a pouch of berries that would cause terrible aches and burns.
Slowly, Maryam started gaining trust for the girl. She started visiting Maryam every day and teaching her communication, manners, and proper ideals. It was because of this that she was no longer afraid of people. However, Maryam is still extremely shy and quiet for fear of saying something wrong or insulting someone, although now she understands that she needs others to live. Not all humans are terrible.
What are they like (personality)?: - As mentioned above, Maryam is shy and quiet when around people. She also lets emotions control her most of the time, so when she's angry, she will REALLY be angry. However, that doesn't happen most of the time. She's protective of the few people in her life that care about her because she's afraid if they don't, nobody will. What are their ambitions?: - Her main ambition is to become fully comfortable around people. She is aware that she needs to come out of her shell a bit more, yet she hasn't been able to do so. Another ambition of Maryam's is to learn how to defend herself. She carries a weapon around just in case, but she has no knowledge of fighting, with sword or with fist. Do they have any special skills?: - Not much. She's a charmer, and has found that she can play instruments well, but not much more than that. Maryam needs to make up for lost time in her life. What are their weaknesses?: - As stated above, Maryam cannot fight at all. She knows she needs to learn because she'll be in danger if ever faced with any evildoers. Another weakness she has is being a terrible liar. Although lying is considered bad, it can save your life. Maryam cannot detect lies, either. She is very frail and weak. Give us a description of how they look (not a screenshot yet!)?: - She stands at around 5'4", so about average height. Her frame is very tiny, giving her small features. Maryam has long, straight, chocolate brown hair that spills down to her waist. Her facial features are soft and somewhat rounded with medium-tan skin and dark green eyes. She wears a laced dress with brown trim and cut-off shoulder, sporting brown boots also. Anything else you want to say about them?: - Maryam one day hopes to find love.
