OOC Minecraft Username: catAberration Are you at least 18 years old?: Yes Have you read the rules? (Link): Yes (Optional) Were you referred by someone? If so, who: I was referred by Hyscope.  — 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?) She stares ahead blankly for an uncomfortable amount of time. Just when it starts to become unclear whether she actually heard  or understood the question at all, she speaks.  “The tides brought me here.” Her tone is jarringly flat, completely lacking the sing-song accent that a Mistan such as herself would be expected to have. Yet, her voice remains just as difficult to read. “I Sailed out from the Isles when I was younger, part of growing up back home. Planned on heading to Mori at first; heard there was good fishing there. The sea had other plans, rough waters knocked me off course. I got lost for a long time. Think I angered Serene somehow… In the fog about how, though.” She pauses for a bit, her confusion about that last tidbit not showing at all on her face as she continues to retain her blank expression.  “I suppose if she was really angry with me, I’d be sung to the depths by now. Don’t know, really. Ended up here anyway.” — Character Name: Brine Eventide Character Race: Feytouched Character Age: 25 Brief Physical Description: Brine has short, black, curly hair, and yellow eyes.
