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?)

This was it, Aeira finally made it to the Reach after the struggle it took to make it here. Her family were Falstoners and would rather take the simple life of traveling in a caravan. Three quarters of the year could be spent traveling and that kind of life wasn't for her. She enjoyed staying put in one place so ultimately, she left and headed for the Reach. There was a town there called the Spire and believed it would be a good place to reinvent herself.

Quickly she was snapped out of her thoughts as her pet fae marten squeaked at her to get her attention when someone began speaking to her during the wagon ride. She loved him, she had found him in the trees while traveling with her family when she was younger and the two had quickly bonded. He squeaked again snapping her out of it a second time because she was lost in her thoughts once more. After that she finally paid attention to who was talking to her. It was an older woman she didn't seem hostile by any means, just a kind lady curious about why she was here. "Didn't want to travel my whole life. I want to make do by myself, perhaps open a shop and definitely explore the city and meet some people." She was glad the lady wasn't asking her about her scales on her arms and legs. She was fey touched and didn't like to talk about it. Some others of her race considered it a blessing, but she saw it as a curse. She didn't like the idea of her ancestors being unwillingly touched by the fey, it seemed off to her. "What about you? Why have you come to the reach?" She figured it would be best to stop thinking too much and just listen to the older woman. 

Finally after listening to what the older woman had to say the wagon finally stopped and Aeira stepped out. It was finally time to see what the Reach had to offer her. 

Character Name: Aeira

Character Race: Fey Touched

Character Age: 27

 Brief Physical Description: Aeira is a 5'5 brown-haired fey touched female with solid blue eyes. Due to her having river fey heritage she is covered in blue scales scattered on her arms and legs. 

Image of Skin and Figura Model: (I’ll be using the skin below.)Please note this skin has been updated to remove the scale on the chest and copy the scales unto the legs as well thank you. and fixed eyes)

Hello! My name is Merry and I'll be handling your application. You're certainly on the right track, but there are a few lore things that need to be clarified. 
- To start, while the Spire does have both a militia and a guard, it is still very much a frontier town, and so would likely not be known as a place with strong law enforcement. It is, however, quite a good place for someone looking to reinvent themselves. 
- You mentioned Aeira being from Falstone, which is majority fey-touched. While it's fine for her to have negative opinions of her own heritage, particularly if those relate to negative views of the fey, her scales likely wouldn't have been seen as particularly weird or different. 

- While you have two in-depth lore references with the Fallstone caravans and her fey-touched scales, I would like to see a clear third reference, though it doesn't have to be in depth.
- Lastly, can you confirm that the second version of the skin with the solid blue eyes is the skin that you will be using?

Thank you! Please reply to this with questions or when changes have been made. 

Done! The skin above will be the one used, I removed the note of people being curious about her scales or seeing them as weird, I removed the note about the spire being heavily guarded, and I added a pet for her drawing from the lore for it.
