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?”

 

The young female looks a bit sad. Her amber pupil less eyes look down at her hands and a soft, yet audible sigh escapes her lips.
“I come from the Ashlands. My family is now gone as is my greatling friend who protected me to the end. My family had made a pilgrimage to the Dragon’s maw. We offered tribute and lit candles as we offered up prayers. The great skull was a beautiful sight to me as it was my first time there. I was seeking acceptance of coming of age as an adult. I was hoping for a sign of whom I should court. Instead I saw a witch there and she read for me. I first drew a Chrysalis in reverse. I almost scoffed at it. Why would I change, what would I change? This seemed to make little sense to me. As we headed back to our tribe we stopped at the Bastion and as we rested I explored the area around the fort. The hotsprings were amazing and relaxing but most do not do well if they are outsiders in our land. I came across a small troupe of travelers lost and I brought them back to the bastion with me.”

Here her gaze closes and she wipes the back of her hand across her eyes as if brushing away something. She shifts on her heels before looking back at the older woman.

“This was what I was to change. I didn’t know it at the time sadly. When I got them to the fort I introduced my parents to them. My parents seemed nervous as these travelers were Arsa Sidhe and my parents followed old ways and distrusted them. Maybe I should have as well. They stole a sacred object from us. A stone of light that had been handed down in my family. It was said to be from the time of the death of the great fire dragon. Father had never left it out of his sight. It fell to me to find it. It truly did because I went back to the witch and this time my card was the magister in reverse. The choice was taken from me.”

She at this point sits near the older woman and sniffles a bit. Her small hands squeeze her knees and she bites her lower lips.

“I do not think I shall ever be able to return home with honor but I can at least try to see and learn from those I meet. Spread my faith, make an altar to the great Fire dragon. Maybe make a pilgrimage out of this. A pilgrimage to learn and Grow.
I have heard much about this place called the Spire. Is it really as tall as they say? Does it touch the sky? And how do you take this cold. I know most say the weather is nice but it is not like my home.
May I ask where you recommend I start my travels, is there any one place more accepting of my kind?”


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?)

 

 

Character Name: Letnith

 

Character Race: Fey touched

 

Character Age: 21

 

 Brief Physical Description: She is a small female of 5 foot, it is medium height for her race. Hair is red in varying shade like flowing magma that flows down to her butt in waves and her eyes Her skin if looked at closely has iridescent scales that are a very faint thin layer very faintly seen as the blend into her skin. Her fingertips are nicely cared for but with a dark coloration at the tips. Her fey ancestry is evident in her ears and pupilless amber eyes. Her clothing she purchased on the trail is a simple but elegant dress of white shirt that is off the shoulders and a crimson skirt girded by a golden belt.

Hello! My name is Blinx and I'll be handling your whitelist application. I apologize for the delay.

While most of the lore in the reply section is good, I have a few questions:

  • When Letnith refers to a 'witch', is that meant to be a synonym for a fortuneteller?
  • What is the 'stone of light' that was taken from Letnith's family?

Next, for the Appearance section while you describe Letnith's eyes as amber and lacking a distinct pupil or iris in accordance with Fey-Touched lore, both references provided depict a character with a distinct pupil. The Minecraft skin, in particular, will need to be revised for use on the server; colouring the white pixels to be amber as well would be enough. Her scales, as well, should be relatively prominent and not difficult to see. These can be in a consistent, symmetrical pattern across the body, smaller patches and segments that are more random, or something else entirely so long as they're not minimized quite as much as they are now. 

Additionally, Fey-Touched can have pointed ears--However, only Humans are significant for having ears that are rounded. No revisions are necessary on this point, but it's something to keep in mind lore-wise.

I'd ask that the appearance section be revised in a reply with the changes I outlined above, and for some clarification on the story details in the above bulletpoints. A revision to the reply itself to provide clarification or a reply posted down here with more information would both work fine! Just drop a reply either way once you've made the changes requested, so I can be notified and get back to you soon. For the appearance changes, updates to just the Minecraft skin would be enough.

Okay first thing first.

The witch is a fortuneteller and herbalist or healer.
The stone of light as she calls it is the flammable stone they use for fires. I wasn't sure if it was a one time use stone so I just thought it similar to a flint and steel or stone that was able to be reused. Hence stone of light.

Updated images:
The scales are on the overlay and a pinkish copper. I did not make a lot but the pic shows a good reference of seeable locations. 

Thank you for the assistance.
