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?)
Bellamy closes the book they had promised themselves to read, her thumb pressed between the pages to remember the page. It was literature on the Reach, its pages quelling from the exposure to the elements. “Oh.” They made a small noise, to indicate that they were in fact thinking and not just ignoring the woman. “Business, I suppose. Mostly not it in its to-be prospect, but its has-been records. My past employers, bureaucrats and such in the Valkian Realm, no longer require my services. Not due to my incompetence, or so I claim humbly, but in face of their untimely passing. Little fish in the big pond of the local political ocean. I do not need to bore you with the details, but I assure you that no ambitious man lives long in that Empire. None escape from the grasp of the red fist of justice… Inclined now by my newly unambitious virtues, to follow less Human ventures, I found myself researching the matter of the Aedall again, seeing as someone has to keep up the good old customs, though do not mistake me for a false pretender. I have long grown wise enough to recognize that a… true rebirth of those magnificent traditions is forever impossible… Irregardless, when then offered the opportunity to partake in a journey to the Reach by some quite… colourful now-compatriots I would have been quite the fool not to accept. Oh, and of course, who could forget… the Fauna.” They raised up their book, turned it around and flipped a few pages to showcase a sketch of a Nightdancer. It was mildly inaccurate and not part of the original script. The quality of the lines suggested it had been drawn in similiar conditions as the ones of this conversation. “I myself am not a being in harmony with nature often, but these little buggers… I consider one of those things one must have simply witnessed with their own eyes. Such simple creatures, unknowing of the concepts of debts, taxes, forms and fiscal years… Have you ever had the privilege yourself? To spot them I mean, not to flee ones money lenders.”Usage of AI to generate, modify or translate the writing on your application will result in denial of your whitelist.
