I'm a huge RP nerd and I'm pretty excited to interact with Avalore's systems and lore on top of interacting with the community as well! — 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)? (250 word 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?) She'd nod along, tapping her small fingers against her own feathered arms seemingly having lost track of the woman's words until she realizes she'd been asked a question. She snaps her head over to the woman to stare and launch into a quick paced rant, almost bouncing in her seat as she does. “Oh I'd just run, run, RUN on out of folk to bother back home! Hard to keep scamperin' around the same old trails running into the same old caravans and people! Couldn't have that! No, no NO! Not to mention all the folk back home ever wanna do is walk the big ol trails and just keep movin’, movin’, MOVIN’!” She'd end her little rant with a small chuckle, running a small hand through her messy hair and leaning back to breath for a moment before she’d continue to babble on, her face lighting up a little as she does. “Nervous almost CERTAINLY though! Can't help but wonder just how many new, new, NEW folk I'll get to meet! I just hope they can tolerate me hah! Folk back home had a habit of getting mad after I'd borrow somethin' or keep talkin' too much, much MUCH! Though I couldn' imagine it, they'd be more direct and tell me to shut my pretty lil mouth if I was talkin' too, too TOO much!"  She'd nod excitedly after the continued rambling, staring for a few moments at the elderly woman with bright and curious eyes, slowly looking her up and down with a small, somewhat goofy looking smile on her face. “Folk kept calling me bird-brained too! I’m Fey-Touched, not bird-brained. I could hardly understand it! Though I never really got to meet any family, I’m half sure I just got picked up along the side of the road hah! Meeting other Fey-Touched always gets me real curious!, though you don’t look like one which is a little, little, LITTLE bit disappointing! I  can only wonder how many times YOU’VE made these kinds of trips too! You spoke like you been down this road, road, ROAD before hah! I wonder what kind of people you’ve met too! Where you come from and OH! I could take a guess at how many trips you’ve made! At least ten right! Maybe more, more, MORE hah hah! I wonder just how many kinds of folk you’ve met as well! I know there’s a lot more than the caravans and pathways!” She’d finally quiet down, swaying back and forth in her seat staring with her large yellow eyes awaiting a response from the poor old woman. — Character Name: Babble Character Race:  Fey-Touched (Mountain) Character Age: 19 Brief Physical Description: Babble is a 3 foot 9 mountain Fey-Touched with a round face that's framed by light brown hair.
