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?)   *The Young but stoic looking man looks over* Well, I have come to the reach to seek greater opportunities, overall, my life has been quite interesting but after my father died from this *He'd try to remember* Saltblood disease? I believe it to be. *The lady would interrupt the young man before he begins* "Oh dear, I'm quite sorry to hear that" *He'd wave that sorry off* Oh no no, don't be sorry. In my eyes he deserved it... this *He'd do quotation marks with his hands* Saltblood disease affects the blood. In which I am surprised he even had some. *He'd lean closer to the older lade* You know, the blood is a most vital member of the body... Yet a disease like Saltblood seems to not care about that. heh ironic huh? *He'd lean back* Anyways... That's not all, I was also coming here because an old bounty buddy of mine choose to send me a letter telling me of his "new" fresh life. *The old lady, being shocked at his original statement doubtfully asks* "Well what did it say dear?" *The young man reaches into the small carriage bag grabbing a small yellowish white envelope* It reads this "Dear Friend, I suppose reading my letter might be a taunting experience for you because of our rocky past, but I must concede. My life has taken a turn in the better direction, I live in a "Faded Steppe" a plain region in which oh my, it is so beautiful. Friend, the anger I once had in my heart has been wiped clean and I grant to you a new opportunity to live here in the southern reach. I can hear you disclaim now "How am I to fulfill my duty" oh you and your duty... But toil not there is plenty of Apparitions and Necrophages. Sincerely Your old bounty partner" *The older lady asks* "hm, I have many questions dear, but I will keep my words if you wish for me not to ask" *He'd smile, leaning even further back allowing his back to rest* Ask away granny, I can answer. *She'd lean forward beginning her question barrage* "Well dear, Firstly, what is your obsession with this "Duty" I hear? Secondly, why is your father such a hatred of yours? and finally, what do you really intend to do here in our lands?" *He'd smile* Welp, firstly I abhor the dead, so these apparitions i hate. Now these necrophages I am interested in. but if I must ill kill as many as needed. Oh, and also those who prowl on the small and "Innocent" so, my duty is to vanquish all who do just that and them who get in my way. Along with other things. Secondly, my father deserved what he got and more... if I'm lucky, he'll escape the confides of my brain. That is all you will hear about my father. And finally, my intention here is a bit cloudy... Maybe I'm looking for a family? or action? or perhaps I'm here to die. Either way ill die or it'll get done. *The old lady smiles and sits back* *He'd lean forward and smile getting ready for parking* Usage of AI to generate, modify or translate the writing on your application will result in denial of your whitelist.

"Saltblood" I believe it to be I needed to search that out and learn more about that disease. Anyways after that I decided to travel here after a friend of mine sent me a letter. *Reaches into bag to grab it* Ah, here we go a letter from my buddy Azra a distant in flesh but close in spirit friend of mine. *Begins to read aloud the letter* "Hello friend! I am reaching out from the slopes of Faded Steppe. It has been a delight to learn of these lands and their own custom practices way different than ours. I just want to say how sorry I am to hear of your fathers passing, and how much of a leader he was to millions. Do you want a new life? A second chance? Come friend, there are plenty of evil things here like the Apparitions and Necrophages for you to kill. But be warned they are difficult and knowing you these enemies are exactly your palette when it comes to your bloodlust.  Sincerely your friend" Welp, yea that's about it I use to be much more evil but, lately i have no reason but to fulfill death as if one fulfills an order in a restaurant. *Smiles* Usage of AI to generate, modify or translate the writing on your application will result in denial of your whitelist.
