OOC Minecraft Username: Wizardmagicgo Are you at least 18 years old?: Yes Have you read the rules? (Link): Yes (Optional) Were you referred by someone? If so, who: N/A (Optional) Introduce yourself if you’d like, as well as any creations you want to share (e.g. art, builds, skins): Hi! I'm Wiz, I come from a history of roleplay servers, and I've spent a lot of time on lore and build teams. I also am rekindling a passion for skin creating and I can't wait to share it all with you guys. I've been Roleplaying for 7 years now and I still feel like there's so much I haven't learnt yet. I can't wait to expand my horizons and go on fascinating stories and adventures with you guys. — 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 some references to our lore in your response!)Erik lets out a warm smile at the question, his eyes booming with energy. "I thought you'd never ask. I suppose I like the comfort of watching the wind roll over the hills." he chuckled. "In all seriousness, I simply like to travel.  As a true Valk, I don't believe I've had much opportunity to visit this side of the world. My family is from further in the north but I essentially grew up in the midlands, so it's nice to come to some place where there's less hustle and bustle." He paused for a moment, pulling out a small leather-bound sketchbook from his satchel "I like to draw the places I've been to, and I sometimes feel saddened to think that there might be areas that might never fill these pages. I find that my art can capture a moment in time so that you may never forget it." he stated flicking through the pages, before lifting his gaze to meet the elderly woman's: "And you madam? Have you spent most of your life down south or do you know of any other destinations I should visit?" — Character Name: Erik Character Race: Human (Valk) Character Age: 21 Brief Physical Description:  Erik is a man standing at 6 feet tall, with bright emerald green eyes and thick, wavy black hair. He'd typically only dress in colours of black and white as it complimented the complexion of his dark hair and fair skin. He walked with a soothing scent of pine trees and sweetberries. He also carried a black, leather-bound sketchbook with silver embellishments in his satchel. He carried himself elegantly and made an effort to keep a sense of charm around others.
