OOC Minecraft Username: Pitapur Are you at least 18 years old?: Twenty-Three. Have you read the rules? (Link): Yes (Optional) Were you referred by someone? If so, who: Nope, found it on planet Minecraft and saw a few familiar faces on the forums, thought I’d give it a try after a break from mcrp.  (Optional) Introduce yourself if you’d like, as well as any creations you want to share (e.g. art, builds, skins): — 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?) Taking a moment to gather his thoughts, the young Walljack finally glanced over at the side at the older woman, flashing a rueful grin in their direction, since he had only really heard her question, lost in thought as he had been. "My grand-sire was of the few Jacks that had the stones to travel into the Reach for trade, although the man never came home after one of his routine trips. Thought I would follow his footsteps now that the Aedall are gone and the path much easier, finally see what all the fuss was about, aye?" This time, the young man offered a wide, cheeky smile, in truth, he did not believe a word of fables, but it would still be one hell of an adventure, to be sure. "What's not to love about a new adventure. Who knows, maybe I'll meet one of the wicked Portents, and make all my dreams come true."  The wagon lurched to a stop and the man stood and glanced down at the elderly woman, offering a kindly smile. ""Fo' Stone'za then! This is my stop, I wish you good fortune on the road!" And with that, he hopped off of creaking wagon, mind set on his next destination.  — Character Name: Byren Drast Character Race: Human, Walljack Character Age: Twenty-two Brief Physical Description: Byren stands at a physically unimpressive height, standing around 5'8, and weighting around 170 pounds, appearing more lithe than anything else.
