In-Character

Read the following prompt:

The sound of clinking glasses and idle chatter welcome you in as you find yourself stepping into The Full Cask. An older man with a full mustache and warm smile beckons you over to the bar he's tending. His gazes washes over you, a glint of some knowing look shining in his eyes. As you sit, his voice rumbles out:

"Hello there stranger! What can I get for you?" 

After you order, he continues to make small talk. "You must be a newcomer. I'm Maarten, glad to meet you." He says with a certain kindness in his tone. 

"Tell me, what brings you to the Spire?"

 

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?)

Your Response:

 

"Good to meet you, Maarten." Dalemir takes a big first drink from his beer, and wipes his face as he finally seems to relax. "I'm here chasing a ghost, and enjoying the beginning of a very long, unwanted vacation."

It doesn't take much prodding to get Dalemir to open up further. He seems to have little to hide. "My mother is-maybe was, by now-the matriarch of our clan. The Flintstrike family is a good, traditional Fireborne clan. You know the kind. Powerful warriors who share in their faith traditions and connection the the dragon-blessed land of their birth. They had a policy under my grandmother, a lifetime ago, that they'd accept any strong warrior who could prove themselves in that rough land. They were short on manpower at the time, you see. They brought in some real talent and bolstered their ranks, and then my mother met my father, who was from here."

Dalemir gestures at his pointed ears.

"She was already married, and had two daughters and a son with her husband. She always said that it was a mistake, but I wasn't. She could be kind that way, as could the rest of our family, most times." He stares into his mug and chews his lip for a second. "I spent the first decades of my life being swapped between the clan and my father's little band of adventurers, and then one day he vanished, along with the rest of them I guess. So partly I'm here to see if I can't find something out about that, but mostly it's on the orders of my eldest half-sister. Mother is dying, and they've finally decided the bastard son had best not be around for the succession, so I'm to carve out a place for myself here and maybe come back to visit... someday."

He blinks hard and leans back, stretches, and takes in a deep breath.

"Anyway. What I mean to say is I'm looking for work. Know anyone who needs a decent hammer arm one way or the other?"

Hey there! I'm thief, I'll be helping out with your whitelist app! We're super excited to have you!

I did just want to offer a few clarifications on some pieces of lore! Technically speaking, we wouldn't allow him to be 'half Aedall.' The Aedall Disappearance happened about 50 years ago. The closest familial relation we allow to one of the Aedall would be Great-Great-Grandfather, and since lovely Dalemir is 82, the timeline here doesn't quite work out. 

The other clarification I'd offer is just taking a look at the section regarding Fireborne clans once more! What you have isn't incorrect, I think there might be a few themes mixing together between Fireborne clans vs. Stonerunner clans!

If you might be willing to take another pass at the rp response and edit those things, that would be very very helpful!

I wasn’t aware of the Aedall generational gap requirement. Yeah, neither the story nor the timeline would work with such a distant connection, and I’ll have to rethink some things. Might basically start from scratch with that information, since this idea is sort of busted. Please hold!

Unfortunately it’s looking like I’m not going to have time to really get into a new server for the foreseeable future, so I’m just going to retract my application for now. I’ll be back sometime when I have more free time, but I guess just reject this for now? Thank you for your time.

As clarified by the applicant, this is denied until there is more time for the application to be revisited.
