CHAMPIONS of DRAYDON ⚔️

Should I actually fill in my app, or are people not as interested in rping as they think they are? I don't really wanna bother if it's gonna die on page 1. :/

I'd be all right with that, but per your app:

Killin was born to an elven mother and Dragonborn father in a small high elf city that almost never let anyone else in. From a young age, Killin was seen as an outcast by children his own age because he could spit lightning at anyone, whether on purpose or accident was up for debate half the time. However, he also showed a great knack for spellwork and thus began a little training. Word of the child prodigy got around a little to some of the other nearby cities and it wasn't more than a year before a powerful high elf wizard came to recruit Killin for the guild.

Killin was happy to go but sad to leave his parents. He wrote them nearly every day, allowing them to keep up with his life. Then came the first guild job that took him to a new place.

The problem is, I'm not seeing many opportunities for my character to have been exposed to this guild. He's not an elf and he's not important enough to be granted a diplomatic exception, so he's almost certainly never been inside this city. If he is to recognize the guild's symbol then that leaves any acolytes wandering around in the outside world, though your app doesn't indicate just how common or rare the sight of one would be. You may well be the first student I've ever seen from this college.

With that said, what is the guild's relationship to the dark arts? Is it famed and esteemed for its teachings in, say, holy magic?

Are mages rare enough for that to be significant in itself, or is it the specific symbol which would grant me pause?

@Ghost Shadow@Rockin Strings@Skull All right. So. The DM just approved my concept over in PM's, but before I get started on my app I'd like to request the aid of one of the spellslingers of the cast. Long story short is that my character is looking to be exorcised of a malevolent being (and the Pact he made with it) over the course of a redemption arc. I was thinking my character could feel compelled to join the party and help out because he overheard one of you make a passing mention of someone, in some faraway land, who could perform such a service; a cleric, a special ritual, what have you. Someone you would know through your connections to your wizarding colleges, or even your past adventures. I could then agree to help out under the condition that you will someday lead me there and help me try to free myself from the Pact, thus saving my soul from eternal service in the Blood War (or the DM's lore equivalent).

Would any one of you like to incorporate such a thing into your intro? I've got a lamer backup idea if not, but I think it could be cool. Let me know? Thanks

Not dead or ghosting. I've got my opening post outlined but this phrasing—

I have been considering my next post, and now I want to try to draw Gharekh into the coming plot arc somehow if I can.

@gorgenmast

—makes me think I should hold off and wait to be sure that it won't ruin whatever this guy's putting together.

How do you feel about the level of character diversity you’ve experienced?

The fact I'm expected to imagine somebody in the medieval world or in the middle of a 21st century battlefield with perfect facial symmetry makeup hair dye lighting and a little bit of digital retouching just annoys me.

@Andreyich

Modern beauty standards being shoehorned into pseudo-historical settings is a whole other annoyance worth its own post, so thanks for bringing it up. Though @stone raises a good point in that not enough people are creating faceclaims worth using, and you often gotta scour, like, Ilya Repin paintings to find any portraits worth the while.

Thank you gorgen-sensei. I'm flattered.

My plan was to wind up in the employ of an invading barbarian faction, putting me directly at odds with any loyalists, but you can shoot any ideas my way via PM, or even throw me a nasty surprise IC.
