Hello! I am 20 years old and from Brazil, and I've always adored immersing myself in singleplayer roleplay games and their worlds, so I figured I'd give multiplayer roleplaying a shot. My most favorite out of any of those games is Morrowind! I am currently a NEET, but I do not plan or hope to stay that way for much longer.

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)?

"I-I just had to get away.... far as I could... From the-the waters... from that vile fog. It's haunted. The whole island is,yes. Controlled by wretched beings of immense power I say. I saw it ALL, I saw it all. That day, atop that highest peak, on my day of rite, my eyes were opened. I could finally see. Above the mist all there was when I gazed down were the spirits of the ocean-lost, taken by the waves. Their agony. The townsfolk all told me what I was speaking was heresy, that the waters, they`re the source of life for us and`re a blessin` but they know not the whole truth... They can't know, because they're a part of the curse... yes that's why they banished me, called me insane yes, yes. I know their secret. A secret so abhorent it would turn even the strongest of stomachs. I know it to be true. The ghosts spoke to me after I returned and confirmed all my doubts." Neranus' mind had been completely lost after what he believed he had seen in the Mist Isles, reduced to no more than a rambling mad man. In reality, there were no spirits to be seen, or curses, even. It was all a fabrication of his deteriorating mind, culminating in that moment at the end of his rite of passing, an arduous, days long climb to the highest peak in the islands. Although he was exiled and sent to the Reach against his will, it seems his mind could at least have some respite, away from the Isles.

As is expected, the frightened old woman decided it'd be best to avoid interaction with what she deemed to be an unstable lunatic, as she scooted away from him on the cart.

Hello there Simio!

I'm Moony and I'll be handling your application. Your application is on the right track, and your writing is great! I only have two things I need rectified before I can proceed with the application. In the portion of your written test where you write:

"What I saw that day, atop Chanter's Peak, on my day of rite, they all told me it was some sort of... mist mirage, or something; called me crazed... I warned them but- pardon me."

- I have scoured the Compendium and may simply have missed something, but could you please let me know where you got Chanter's Peak from? If it's a self-created place we'll need to leave that out at the moment and only use lore that is directly from the compendium

- The second point I'm looking it is just a tiny mention, even if just in parenthesis, that you acknowledge what your character saw wouldn't have actually been there. This way we can both be on the same page that it whatever it may have been was a hallucination.

 

If you have any questions or concerns feel free to message me here on the forums or through Avalore's Discord (where I'm also Moony). You can also respond on this thread with questions. Otherwise, I look forward to your response!

Hello Moony!

I've made the changes you've requested. I hope it's not too vague still.

We're almost there - 

First, you're aware any sort of lore cannot be homebrewed right? It is fine for your character to believe they saw something, but I'm asking for OOC clarification that you understand this.

Secondly, I'd love a little bit more lore inclusion and then I think we'll be in a great spot for moving forward with your application.

Yes, I understand. My idea was to make it so my character's village or tribe get killed in a way that would somehow indirectly make him responsible for it, even if completely by accident, or inaction or whatever it may be. Is this not allowed and I should try to retool this? it would be an inconsequential village with around 20 or so people so it shouldn't really interfere with any prior or upcoming world building.

You could have it that they've been wiped out and they he thinks he's done it, but I would avoid implying it was actually mystical. This is completely fine for your character to have their own beliefs of course. Maybe Neranus hallucinated on the peak and believes that a disease that ran through the village and wiped out everyone but him was his doing. In reality it was just a freak coincidence perhaps?

I'd be happy to help you work around this story on my discord (m.o.o.n.y) if you want to work with this.
