— So I am a builder, bad artist and hopefully a soon to be MC skin tailor. Starting with my building skills - I have been building for years now, starting at around 7~ years old when I first got one of my OG accounts. Ever since, I've been either casually building every once in a while, or sometimes for months obsessing over building. Moving to my art skills, I am still learning. I have been studying with a great artist for a while now, although due to studies and personal issues it has stopped and well, I haven't improved much. Lastly, I love skin tailoring, even though I am mid at best. But, that doesn't mean I am not improving. During the last few weeks I've noticed improvement in my skin tailoring and hopefully one day I can fully call myself one. (Ah, I also play the drums, guitar and bass)
In-Character
Read the following prompt:
The rhythmic lull of hoofbeats are a marching drum to the small group of pioneers and variety of folk you have found yourself amongst, packed into a wobbling wagon. The rolling plains of the Southern Reach and a clear sky stretch out all around you, the buzz of excited chatter a dull wash in your ears as your mind strays to your former life and what has led you here to new lands.
“Nervous?”
You blink, returning to the present moment. A kindly older woman sat near you is smiling warmly with a crinkle to her eyes.
“I can tell it’s your first time. Still remember mine,” she flashes a grin and leans in.
“Tell me my dear, why have you come to the Reach?”
How do you respond (in character)? (250 word minimum - please make sure to include at least three references to our lore in your response, with two coming from different pages in the Compendium. Two of the three selected should also be in-depth, avoid simply name-dropping lore terms. Tie the terms into your character's backstory. Why are they important to them?)
— *Nauriel raises his head higher to better the eye contact, before taking a brief second to look around nervously, as if expecting something or someone to be there. Then Nauriel responds* "Huh- Me. . .?" *Nauriel says as he takes a short pause to blink a couple times. After relaxing and taking a better look at the woman, he sighs*
"I guess that weirdly enough, I came here to explore." *He added before looking down. It was apparent he wasn't too used to strangers*
"Iria was- I mean still is a nice place. But I guess I really wanted to learn and explore more outside of what Iria gave me. Maybe leave the simple life - out of the lovley… War-full and alive place Iria is." *He said, his tone getting more confident before slightly dropping*
"I do miss my mothers copious amounts of creative rice recipes, we were friends with a family that owns big rice terraces and well... We got lots of rice as holiday gifts."
*As Nauriel reached the end of his sentence, he noticed that he was oversharing. His pale face, which held a small hint of pink naturally, got ever so slightly pinker as he blushed. His gaze flew to the floor*
"Uhm sorry if I overshared-" *He said as his eyes remained locked, looking at the ground. But after slightly raising his head and noticing that the woman's interest only grew, he decided to sheepishly continue*
"I guess you see many elves like me around here. Uhm... Do you often see Korami traders or merchants? If you do and they are from Iria, you can maybe ask them about uh... Lumies? We help export stuff, especially rice since that's what Iria does you know?" *Nauriel says before sighing as he wiggled a little his back on his seat, wanting to reach a more comfortable position*
“I think I’m gonna go visit The Spire next, it’s nearby and I heard it’s actually a fully democratic place, unlike my home town. Seems kinda cool being able to choose who’s gonna be actually ruling, instead of it being some weird wealthy family” *He said before shaking his head in slight disgust at the memory of the local ruler of where he lived.*
“I also wanna learn about the politics of the place. . . Just to know what’s happening, like how exactly does the whole thing with ‘Circle of Four’ work. Maybe you can quickly tell me?” *He asked sheepishly, while his body unconsciously leaned slightly forward*
Character Name: Nauriel Lumies
Character Race: Arsa Sidhe (Elf)
Character Age: 23
Brief Physical Description: Nauriel is a 6’ (183cm) Elf with a barely pale-pinkish skin. He has dark red eyes and long, usually messy hair - which he hides under a hat. He has no visible scars, and is usually found wearing long clothes so that he can shield himself from the sun as best as possible. The only exception for this might be in the winter, where he might have more compact, slightly shorter and warm clothes. ( which still cover a good amount of his body.)
