I’ve been somewhat interested in joining for a while and I’ve been looking for some sort of D&D roleplaying experience lately, so I thought I would finally apply.

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?)
Nebrea Liskopiz glances at the woman and then looks down. “Is it that noticeable?” Nebrea chuckles to himself then finishes “Yes… I guess I am a bit nervous. It’s my first time away from The North. The climate is so much different here than I am used to back home. Even in the peak of our summer season, it was never close to this warm. It almost hurts my skin to be out in the sun.” Nebrea re-adjusts the way he is sitting in an attempt to hopefully get a little more shade out of the already miniscule amount he gets from his hood. Nebrea takes a deep breath, then continues. “If I were to simply answer your question, then I would leave it as “I’ve come to the Reach to experience the world and learn more about its people and its cultures”, but I’ve got the feeling that you want a deeper answer than that. Before I left my home land, I was an assistant to one of the many mayors of the many townships of The North. With the ceaseless war that we have experienced with the Valkian Realm, and the countless lives that I have seen lost due to nonsensical battles and the constant starvation for much of my people… I needed to leave.” Nebrea has a sort of ashamed look on his face, he feels that he abandoned his people for this, but he also knows that this was his best option. “My goal is to learn enough out here to one day be able to go back to The North and be an effective leader for my people. The reason I have chosen the Southern Reach is because I have heard that it has a lot of diversity in its people and cultures.” Nebrea looks up at the gigantic spire ahead of them. “I want to join the study of the Aedall too. Something about their ways of solitude and unwillingness to work with those that weren’t of them… I hope that I can be helped in my journey if I can understand their philosophies… I do wonder what happened to them… but I guess that isn’t exactly special around here, haha. Now, tell me about yourself, Mrs…?”

Character Name: Nebrea Liskopiz
Character Race: Arsa Sidhe
Character Age: 24
Brief Physical Description: Nebrea is a 6’7” tall Elven man. He is on the paler end of the Arsa Sidhe, pale enough to be rather sensitive to the sun. His hair is brown, of medium length, and somewhat brushed back, mildly covering his long ears. Nebrea’s eyes are an incredibly deep golden-yellow, as golden as they come with the Arsa Sidhe. He wears a long cloak, a remnant from his time spent in The North. While he no longer requires it for the northern cold, Nebrea keeps it as a reminder for where he came from, and also for protection against the sun. For his clothes, he wears a pair of white boots, grey pants, and a light grey tunic.
Image of Skin and Figura Model:
Below is the skin that I have made for Nebrea. I will be learning Figura and Blockbench modeling in the time that I am waiting for my application to be reviewed, and then I will be adding a cloak and hood over the skin.
