OOC Minecraft Username: Arsenal_X   Are you at least 18 years old?: Yes, I am 22   Have you read the rules? (Link): Yes   (Optional) Were you referred by someone? If so, who: Audianna   (Optional) Introduce yourself if you’d like, as well as any creations you want to share (e.g. art, builds, skins): I'm a minecraft roleplayer of about almost three years, a gamer, and someone who just wants to make friends, make a story, and have fun interactions. I'm also a self taught computer technician, having built my own computer, and also fix/repair ones from family and friends. I don't have much of an artistic streak, but I can build decently enough and know some little tricks here and there.   — 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?)   — Lurinya dipped her head to the older woman, offering an awkward laugh afterwards. Not used to being in such a tight and cramped space, especially being spoken to by someone with little to no status. It took a moment for Lurinya to respond.. "Yes.. I am. Only a little though. It's.. something new. I haven't.. I have /yet/ to leave the Valkyian Empire.." she sighed, "My first time, actually." She held onto her fable books, in which she would read about often in her spare time. A gift from one of her sisters in the Courtesan Haus. Her favorite being that of the Lucky Coin, she always thought how amazing ones luck must have been to obtain such a thing in the first time. This time, she was reading about the Siren Serene. The halfling closed her book to speak with the woman, although keeping her long fingernails just in for the keeping the page, not expecting her conversation to be long. "I come from the Valkian Empire, more notably in the richer areas of the wall. I am lucky enough in my time to not be needing to run away to the Spire for any war related reasons, afterall, the wall never sees any war. I am one to say it may be the safest place in the entire realm to live in. I am not much of one to talk though, I lived in the higher parts, so there may be things I don't know about. I will miss the Empire, truly, but I am a Lady in waiting and I shouldn't be too far away from my Lady." The Elf promptedly opened her book once more, leaving the conversation for the rest of the ride   Character Name: Lurinya Leori   Character Race: Great Elf   Character Age: 25   Brief Physical Description: appears to be 21, medium length white hair, red-purple colored skin, with a golden color of eyes, and black horns
