(Link): https://avalore.net/rules/    (Optional) How did you hear about Avalore?: I was taking a break from another RP server, so wanted to look up one I was less involved in.    (Max. 1) Were you referred by someone? If so, please provide their in-game username: N/A   (Optional) Introduce yourself if you’d like, as well as any creations you want to share (e.g. art, builds, skins): Hi, im Fizz! I am a seasoned RP’er, and gamer! I play things such as Pokemon, Skyrim, Animal Crossing, Zelda, Stardew Valley, various RPG’s, and the obvious… Minecraft AND even more things..    Other things I like doing are baking, cooking, hiking, reptiles, bugs, animals, listening to music, maps, and singing various songs I look forward to meeting all of you!   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?)   “O-Oh!” she says- rapidly blinking. “S-Sara is the name… Just Sara!” she said- looking off to the side, scratching behind her pointed ears. She could feel the old ladies' eyes upon her… she then furrows her brows. Finally- starting to answer the old ladies’ question “...To see the Spire, and its mysteries I suppose. I also wished to look around the town as well… talk to various people, learn various skills and feats, get a home… maybe meet one of the members of the Circle of Four…” she says, finally loosening her grip upon her arm, relaxing her brows- looking up to the sky above. “I wonder if they celebrate Faerie's Eve there… If not- I will miss the lanterns, food and wine…I could visit that and The Grand Bazaar with all its shops and bobbles I could find…that is also my favorite time of year…my family would set up a place to sell various musical trinkets, we’d earn all sorts of gold, sometimes silver… but we’d get crowns most of the time selling those things. Me and my siblings would also play Flabber-Fae during those days… It was fun.” she says, reminiscing about those days not too long ago. She’d then chuckle- and shut her eyes. “I feel nervous- but… oddly excited. This is… my first time ive been out on my own… without my people. Right now- its just me and my lute…though- you never did tell me…” she would then look to the old lady. “Why are you going to the Reach?”   Character Name: Sara Pleurotus   Character Race: Arsa Sidhe (Elf!)   Character Age: 18    Brief Physical Description: A thin feminine figure with gray skin, paired with dark gray eyes.
