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?)

"Ah!" *She is taken aback from the sudden interruption of thought*

"I... I am looking to find that out as well." *She chuckles, twiddling her thumbs*

"Maybe I was bored? No... that is not the word..." *She looks towards the sky, biting her cheek during thought*

"Back at home, up North, a decently sized settlement owned by the Valkian Realm... part of Sudvalkia, if you care about specifics. I had everything I could ask for. Being the youngest daughter of a very well-off Valk merchant and all that." *She smiles as she reminisces*

"I am not really looking for something specific... I am looking to find all I couldn't stuck at home, whatever that may be." *She offers a warm smile*

*The lady nods and finally breaks the monologue* "Feelin' adventurous then, dear?"

*Lena's smile widens* "Your words, not mine. I am kind of just... hoping for the best, you know? Whatever Lady Luck has got in store is mine to take, if anything, I'm sure I'll have some fun trying." *She laughs, feeling very comfortable*

"You know... I want to just mostly make a name for myself, however that may be. The Spire is just the first stop on my journey." *She looks towards the sky once again*

*She motions up high, as if imagining the towering building, that somehow is still not in sight.* "Something like that big tower... everlasting, immovable, nigh-untouchable. Unbothered by the ongoings of the mortal world around it, because it is built different. That is how I wish to be."

"I am not content in being just another average person, you know? I want to be special, I want to make myself special. Do something different, be unique. Be unparalleled. Have my niche."

*She sighs* "I just need to find whatever it is that makes me one-of-a-kind at something. I will search the entire Eastern Continent- screw it! I will go to another continent. Northern, Southern, Western, even the Moon, light or dark, I don't care. I'll find a way to go there if it comes down to it. Although that might be a step too far..."

*The old lady smiles, stifling a chuckle* "Very big goals for such a young lady, how are you so sure you will achieve that?"

*Lena sighs once again* "I don't... it's all or nothing I guess." *She laughs, putting a hand over her face and shaking her head* "You must think I am so childish."

"Oh, dearie. I also thought big when I was your age, it is just natural. Just don't forget to take care of yourself, okay?" *The Lady offers a warm smile*

"Oh, thanks... I guess." *Lena's face offers a brief smile, as the conversation dies out and she is back to being stuck with her own thoughts.*

Usage of AI to generate, modify or translate the writing on your application will result in denial of your whitelist. There will be no chance to re-apply afterwards.

Character Name: Lena Lightborn

Character Race: Half Nua Sidhe and half Arsa Sidhe

Character Age: 18

 Brief Physical Description: A young woman who stands at 5'4" with a thin frame and soft features with long blonde hair decorated with plenty of flowers throughout its length and striking pastel blue eyes.

Image of Skin and Figura Model:


Hello! My name is Blinx, and I'll be handling your whitelist application. 

Currently, Lena's application features at least three references to our lore -- but the references are relatively surface-level. While I like the detail about her parentage, I'm going to need more before I can approve the application. Mostly, more details relating to the world! You can choose anything you'd like so long as there's an expansion. A few options would be to name a more specific location in Valkia, reference a Fable she's heard of, or maybe some curiosity about a specific detail related to the Spire itself.

Additionally, as Lena is half-Human and half-Arsa Sidhe, I'd like confirmation that her ears are rounded. It doesn't need to be on the skin or in the description of her appearance, just included so I can verify her appearance is compliant with our lore!

Leave a reply here once you're ready for me to take another look.

Just tweaked the writing slightly, also, yes, her ears are very human-shaped.

"Unbothered [...], because it is built different" got a giggle out of me, LOL. You're good to go.
