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?)

Wyllt snips a leaf off his hair and presses it into his journal, looking to the woman with wide, bright eyes "I heed the call south of the great wall for two reasons, good friend. I've heard tale the wilds of the Reach strike fear in the heart of it’s people, and that simply can't stand. I hail from the Midlands, where we have conquered it's dangers. A thriving community built on the corpse of a once great civilization. Lush growth, everywhere the eye can see, and its people living in harmony alongside it. I dream one day to help the Reach know such equilibrium. We really should plan a trip north, some day." Wyllt pauses, his breath catching a moment as he pictures the monstrosities he's already seen in his only just-begun adventure, these so called Necrophages, and regards the woman with a fearful expression "But a more pressing matter has caught my eye. Before I begin my work, something unnatural awaits me here, a Blight of the most unforgivable kind, and one I'd wager anything is intentional in it's design. Poor souls wander aimlessly, trapped between life and death in the ultimate betrayal of the natural order, and it's source MUST be discovered. I will spearhead the mission to locate the person capable of finding out what happened, and… well, help them find out what happened. This cannot stand, the dead must be put to rest, and whoever caused this put to an end.”

Character Name: Wyllt Gwylls

Character Race: Fey-Touched

Character Age: 25

Brief Physical Description: Wyllt is 5'2, with Oak brown hair, pale pea green skin, and deep emerald eyes. Leaves grow off the ends of pieces of his hair, and vines snaking down his body. Having grown up on the outskirts of society, Wyllt prefers living in solitude but is quick to befriend anyone that meets him. He believes himself an arbiter for nature, despite his obsolescence in most cases. Mostly he's just a traveling merchant that peddles low-level wilderness goods, like a Wilderness Gift Shop. Wyllt sees the undead as the absolute highest betrayal against the natural order and the #1 problem in the world at the moment.

Hello, I'm Moony and I'll be handling your application, Garta. 

So far you've got the right spirit about the application, and I like how you've described Wyllt. However, we need to work on the written story before I can continue processing the application. The things I need doctored up are:


- The mentioning of the blight needs to be more specific, even if the conversation is broken up with thought blurbs. 


- Your main lore reference is the Reach, and even then it isn't super in-depth. I would like if you could make two other lore references, with one being in-depth and go into more detail either on The Reach OR another lore reference.

- What homeland are you talking about that is built on the corpse of a civilization?

Please get back to me once you've updated this-- Or let me know if you have questions and concerns. You can reach me through this thread or through Avalore's Discord where I am also Moony. 

I will edit it to expand more, but I can at the least answer your 3rd question. The Midlands is said to be "considered by many historians to be the site of first civilization, and was the heartland of the ancient Arsa Sidhe realm that ruled the continent until its collapse.", with the collapse being stated as the end of the Ancient Arsa Sidhe Empire. Also, is there anywhere you could point me to any information on "The Blight"? its mentioned (as a name) in the description for the Blighted but i couldn't find much more

I wouldn't include blight if you can't find more information readily available through our Compendium on it. Be sure to include you're specific writing that you're from the Midlands as well.

Alright, hows that looking?
