(Optional) Introduce yourself if you’d like, as well as any creations you want to share (e.g. art, builds, skins): Hey there, I'm a 24 year old guy from the edge of civilization that is Finland. I don't have much roleplay experience but I am eager to learn! I've been playing Minecraft since it came out and this server just seems really cool. I love worldbuilding and this seems to be a great way to improve my skills on it as well as my writing and English skills overall, as it is not my native tongue. I consider myself a pretty decent builder, but unfortunately I don't really have much to show on this PC.

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 - 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?)

"Was it really that obvious" Lucius turned to the woman and smiled politely. He wasn't used to being traveling in a packed carriage. He was no royalty, but the lifestyle the academic life had previously provided him was luxurious compared to this. He didn't mind though, he wasn't traveling all the way from the North down to the Reach for bubble-baths! "I've come here to learn to put it simply, my lady" He responded to the woman's question respectfully. "I guess I am a little nervous, I've never been so far from home." He admitted to the kind of woman. "But I had to come here!" He exclaimed and rose his arm thriumphantly.
"My colleagues at the Tamohn University are too stuck in their old ways, their old ideas. They won't entertain my ideas about the most important historical questions of our time." Lucieus went on, getting increasingly frustrated. "They're more than content in reveling the glory days from the past they weren't even born to experience for. This is where one can find the real history, the real stories! Not just theories on outdated books" A fire burned in his eyes. He may have been loudly, and somewhat rudely, monologuing, but it was clear to anyone listening how much discovering history meant for him. "The Collapse, the Spire, the Great Disappearance," He listed, "Mysteries everyone is familiar with yet the department of history is making barely any progress towards, or even show any interest of"
Lucius took a deep breath and sighed, almost out of air from his rambling. "It seems to me like our other traveling companions are traveling to seek glory and riches beyond the Wall." He waved his arms around and then leaned towards the woman and looked straight into her eyes. "I say, let them keep their glory, I seek only knowledge!"
