Are you at least 18 years old?: ✓

Have you read the rules? (Link): ✓

(Optional) Were you referred by someone? If so, who: Lovelyninja567

(Optional) Introduce yourself if you’d like, as well as any creations you want to share (e.g. art, builds, skins): Hello! I have adopted many nicknames over the years, some of you know me as Vig, some as Sneekz, some as V, etc. Any of those are fine by me. I really enjoy the fantasy rp scene; Lord of The Rings is my favorite setting, but that doesn't stop me from exploring other more fantasy-based manifestations of the genre. I have also been getting into D&D a bit thanks to BG3 which is cool (or maybe not cool if you're some kind of D&D purist). My favorite class/subclass is definitely Path of the Zealot Barbarian, though after playing a bard-only honor run of BG3 with a friend of mine, the Bard class has become a close second. Other than fantasy my favorite genre is sci-fi/cyberpunk, and if anyone is interested in those you should hit me up at some point. 

I like to think I'm a decent builder in-game, though it's always more impressive to see new techniques used by others. I also do skins, but before I anyone wants to request any I'll mention that it isn't something I always want to or enjoy doing, so while I'm happy to make skins for people, it won't always happen in a timely manner and depends on what my whims are on a given day. You can see my examples here: https://www.planetminecraft.com/collection/147062/sstwutng/ (I'll send you straight to the fantasy stuff so you're not flooded by superhero skins, but feel free to take a look at them if you wish).

Here are a few neat things I've built over the years:

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)? (150 words minimum)

It didn't take but more than a moment for Zeph's thoughts to bounce back in to the world around him. His quick wit—often too quick for his own good—helped him avoid much surprise in this instance. "It seems you've caught me unprepared." An embarrassed chuckle escaped the man as he realized he tuned out what the woman said before. He brushed a wavy golden lock behind his ear so he could get a better look at her, and, upon noticing her smile his shoulders lost the tension he hadn't noticed he built up whilst day-dreaming. "What I mean is: That's the kind of question I'd normally answer in a song." Zephero's own hazels crinkled slightly as he offered her an apologetic half-smile. Recognition that this woman had no idea why he might feel apologetic gave way to amusement, which snowballed its way into a larger, more genuine grin across his face. "Thing is, I'm awfully unprepared right now. Lost my instrument and I've been slacking on the writing recently. Tell you what, apprise me a bit about yourself and I'll draft one about you instead." Zeph never did answer her initial question, perhaps to the woman's disappointment, but that much never crossed his mind because he was already ensnared in the creativity of a new project. Maybe if he was better about living in the moment he would've noticed the shady figure that nabbed his instrument in the week prior.

Character Name: Zephero Aercolé

Character Race: Human

Character Age: 28

Brief Physical Description: Zephero Aercolé is a 5'7 human man with a slim build and wavy blonde hair. Having never been much for hard labor or soldiery he is not particularly muscled, though his taste for adventure keeps him active enough to stay fit. As a Valkian he has many of the traits one might expect from someone who lives close to the sea under the warm sun: Olive skin, a prominent nose, and darker eyes.
