In SoL, the 'goals' become the drama and interpersonal connections/histories players make with each other. Plus setting in in places like a school/college for example give you a timeline to work with.

About
Been at this game for a good while now. Starting RPing at the tender age of 15 back when Bebo was a thing. A year later I found myself forum Roleplaying and haven't really looked back since. Over these past ten years I have done practically every kind of RP you could imagine from Nation RPs and Arena RPs to 1x1s and Large group RPs. My last RP hobby was fighting RPs, which I have now decided to leave behind in order to pursue more SoL style Rps.

Outside of RP I am an aspiring writer, despite being terrible with words, as well as an avid gamer. If I am not on discord with the Guild or RPing in some way, I am probably on either my PlayStation or on Steam. Moved into D&D and ended up starting a podcast that has been an interesting journey.

Okay, i am going to try and say this in the nicest, least condescending way possible. Just note, I am not trying to cause offence. I don't think you have ability to take part in a Advanced RP. I don't say this lightly. I have spent the best part of day mulling this over in my head and it is the only conclusion I can draw. Your character just seems... flat, two-dimensional, there is nothing there that just grabs me like it does with other peoples characters.

I do have other concerns. Usually when i look at potential RPers i go through and look at their previous posts, chat through discord or PMs about their character. We work out the kinks in the character and we talk a little bit about their development. I don't get that from you. It makes me think you aren't invested in your own character, maybe a creative spark just isn't there. Every other application has come along with a barrage of messages and PMs about ideas and history and lore, and it is nothing short of amazing the level of commitment these people have. Letting you in on this character sheet, sorta feels like I am letting everyone else down.

I haven't even gotten the main point, which is I have high expectations of the second-in-command characters. They are just as important as the Leaders, and a integral part of the story. So i a lot stricter with my requirements for those positions. I also personally don't think you could write at the level required for a advanced RP. I don't have any evidence to suggest you do. Even when I went through all of your posts, I couldn't actually find a IC post. And you have been here for over 1500 days. You made 55 posts in 1500 days. To me, that spells flight risk. And that is a risk i am unwilling to take.

Sorry if it sounds all negative, but on this occasion i am going to have to decline your character sheet.
Ok so. @The Grey Dust I am liking him, when you are finished throw him over.

@Draku69 I am still thinking about your chara, will let you know soon.
Colour me interested.
I have always wanted to give stuff like this a try. Just never been brave enough to join a game, yet alone GM one
It's nice to have balance. The history doesn't really go into any details. The history and personality sections go hand in hand to paint a picture of who a person is.

Dragon magic would be pushing it. You could go to using a single element. That would make it more acceptable :)
@Draku69 So me and Haley have been talking about Draku for a while. There are a couple of issues:

Firstly, we most certainly do not like the idea of Draku being able to control all elements. We have the leader of the Guild who is supposed to be the most powerful magic on the planet and she can only use the powers of a single element. We wouldn't mind him having only one power, but not all of them.

We also think the history section needs significantly beefing up, compared to the personality section.

Sorry if it sounds all negative. I am really picky over second in command positions as they are pretty important characters within their respective sides. If you wanna adjust the sheet, or go for a lesser position let me know :)
[Draku69] I gathered that. That is exactly my problem.
[@StrangeRodent] Accepted, throw him across to the Charas tab and welcome aboard
Okay,

@PureHeroine Lizzie is coming nicely. I like her :)

@Draku69 I will need to speak to @HaleyTheRandom about your chara. Something about elementalist doesn't sit right with me.
I have gone ahead and added a few rules on the 0th post.
