I’ve missed RP greatly and have migrated here to explore a new world of it. I do not presently have any photos of former builds, but that is something I do as well. I especially enjoy creating dark fantasy & gothic builds as well as primal/nature themed builds, which is reflected in many of the characters I tend to create.

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?)
The towering form turned face down towards the woman, his verdant gaze darting between the fine wrinkles on her face to the details of the wood that constructed the wagon. He seemed to look for an answer, before facing her completely once more and breaking the silence, revealing tusk-like canines and only adding to the beastlike semblance he carried.
“New land, new hunt. It was time for me to fully leave the den, so to speak. To etch my own mark.”
He paused for a moment, considering something before continuing. Torbjorn eases, and seems to begin enjoying the notion of sharing his story, and engaging in conversation.
“My family belonged to a clan of Stonerunners for a long time, before breaking off into a life of hunting nomads. It is my turn to carry that torch and find a band of my own. Sometimes I do miss the organization that was found in a long-standing culture, and remaining rooted, but nothing compares to the thrill of expanding one’s horizon. It is my understanding that there are more cultures here that see life in the same way; Falstoner, Valks. Maybe it will be among them where I will meet my people.”
He crows gruffly.
“Say, I have this mead. Strong stuff. The road is long and I can’t stand wagons.” He uncorks the bottle and grins a toothy smile. “Want some?”

Character Name: Torbjörn Kveldulf
Character Race: Greatling
Character Age: 20
Brief Physical Description: Torbjörn bears a burly, mesomorphic form with broad shoulders and long athletic legs from a life of hard labor and wandering the land on foot. His hair is quite lengthy and abundant, a mane reaching to his middle back. It is a deep sable in color and is often embellished with small braids, twig and leaf fragments very often found interweaved from brushing against foliage. His skin is pale and calloused. His eyes are a verdant green, with slit pupils. Protruding from his skull are two oak hued horns with resemblance to antlers; they are carved by his handiwork with depictions of the Hunt. His top and bottom canine teeth are more tusk-like and sharp, though are not as prominent as other Greatlings. The man is often found barefoot if he is not in the bounds of a city, affording him a more quiet step in the wilderness as well as comfort in feeling the cool Earth beneath him. His clothing is crafted of natural materials and are kept simple with undyed shades; formulated of linens, furs, leathers, bone, etc.
