    A very well done application, incorporating the server lore well with Dillis and his life. He's quite an interesting individual, a two-faced scavenger skilled in persuasion. I also quite like the roleplay examples you've provided.

    However the magic application is...

    With earth magic at a weak level, one cannot necessarily create grains of sand. For the most part, the magic doesn't actually allow for creation of things out of thin air, instead using what is already natural and manipulating it. For reference, earth magic at its weakest level can do things like nudge a pebble or make indentations in mud. Furthermore, when you describe the limitations of the magic, you mention how a mage not aspected in something won't be able to cast anything with it. Though even if a mage is not aspected in the magic or has passed over the threshold for their magic, they can still be able to train up to a medium level. As well as this, another staple thing to mention with the magic system is that one must be born or gifted with the capability to cast magic in order to use it.

    In short, just revise the magic application and notify of the changes before you start playing, so that the character may still start out with the ability.

    High-elves commonly reach an even height of 7' on average, with some rare ranges of 6'10" - 7'2" (even more rarely at 7'4"). As such, you will need to boost up Uhier's height to accommodate for the race's characteristics. Furthermore, we would like you to incorporate more of the server's lore into your backstory, explaining how the Pact War would have effected Uhier's life. At his age of 50, it is possible for him to have lived in Silivrenmîr, until it fell 30 - 35 years ago based on the current date of the server (nearly 80 years since the beginning of the war, 6 - 7 since it ended). As well as this, the Meracahe’siol family would not be of elven nobility. They could have some high reputation, but they won't be considered nobles.

    Also, if you do not fill out a magic application now, Uhier will not be able to cast magic of his own. He can surely learn about it, but he won't be able to use it naturally.

    Your application was surely a pleasant read, though I would like for you to expand more on the impact the Pact War would have had against Jericho's home village! It was a devastating war that took apart many villages and hometowns, leaving Barkamsted as the only refuge near the war's conclusion. As such, Jericho would have likely not lived long in his village and be forced to retreat, especially with the illness weakening their standing.

    Your magic application, however, is...

    Accepted!

    Keep in mind that weak fire wouldn't be that strong and conjuring a flame independent of a fuel source would be a difficult feat. Flickers come easy at the weak level, but any further can cause a lot of strain. The ring as mentioned in the magic biography won't be in Jericho's possession anymore either, just to clarify.

    Thank you for taking all the time and effort to revise Olfin's story! I'm quite pleased with the result and it is a pleasure to say that your application is...

    Accepted!

    Though due note that the armor that is described in the appearance won't be to the highest of quality or offer a great deal of protection aside from the elements. The grey patches on him should also be more subtle and less extreme, though it is an interesting trait of the character. Olfin will surely be a lovely orc addition to Saphriel.

    Your powergaming definition is all well and dandy, however some of the revisions you've made lead on to more things that need to be touched up on! In increasing Olfin's age, he's reached a rather ancient age for his species. Orcs tend to expire around seventy-five for males, so you can reduce the age back to 38. It would be fairly reasonable for him to have lived in a forest claimed by the Pact during the war, but it wouldn't so much be a village. At an age beyond 70 years, he would have still lived in the Jagged Mountains and mesa lands that the Pact forces occupied at the beginning of the war, of which lasted about 70 years. Thus, it's very likely Olfin would have still seen himself a member of the Pact or outcast for not supporting his brethren. The final attack on Barkamsted wouldn't be until the very last few years of the war (around 5 - 10 before it officially ended at the hellgates) when the Alliance started pushing back, though it is possible for Olfin to have living in a war camp in the forest and being pushed back with the constant struggle.

    Thank you for making the changes and apologies for the wait. While your powergaming definition was still missing a crucial part--namely in mentioning that powergaming would mean to force emotes on someone, such as having your character instantly twist someone's arm and push them to the ground without giving a chance for the other player to react--it is a minor issue.

    There are a lot of things of note for your application, one a preference to space out your paragraphs more into three or more distinguishable paragraphs. Currently it looks like one large block of text that is hard to read and is riddled with many spelling errors. I suggest to read aloud what you've written, as you'll notice the mistakes more! Aside from that, you will need to incorporate more of the server's lore, specifically with the Pact War. Falkvard was one of the very first cities to fall over seventy to eighty years ago when the war began, so Jala'cath is simply too young to have ever lived close to it. At his age, the only city that was a haven for all refugees was Barkamsted.

    As well as this, I noticed a few rather odd details of the story. For starters, Jala'cath--a very foreign name not to mention--is addressed as Aylek early on in the backstory. With the sister's birth deformities, I find it incredibly unlikely that she would have to be hidden just for missing a few fingers, of which coincidentally reflect her mother's missing fingers. These kinds of traits don't pass on like this, but in an extremely rare scenario they could. I still find it very unlikely.

    Don't worry about your grammar and the detail, it's all very legible and lovely! However, there are still a few reasons for why I place your application on pending. For starters, your definition for powergaming is missing another part of it according to our server's common perception of the term. Though since you asked, I'll fill you in and give you a hint: one can also consider it powergaming when a character's actions are forced on another, or if the player takes control of the other character's reactions. Place these into your own words and that issue will be resolved!

    Onto the character Olfin himself! At his age of thirty-eight, the Pact War would have still been a big and long-lasting event in Saphriel. Because of such, no orcs would have been able to reside in Barkamsted due to a severe lack of trust, so his family would not have ever lived there. It was only fairly recently when the Pact War ended and the hellgates began that orcs and goblins started to be accepted into the Alliance cities. Olfin and his family could have disagreed with the Pact, but then it is likely they would have been left off on their own as outcasts from the war effort. Furthermore, no character may start out as a master in their field, so his knowledge of blacksmithing would have to be toned down a bit and his talents for creating supposed extraordinary forging equipment would be limited to basic proficiency. We encourage players to have their characters take the time to improve their skills and what not through RP, proving their character's experience.

    While you make it a note that the armor would only be his ideal attire once he acquires it, I would prefer that you scrap it from the character description on the application.

    Thank you for making the revisions! Since it's really minor and a real small thing I mentioned before, your powergaming definition is missing some sort of mention about forcing emotes onto another player. i.e. Saying that Bob slashed open Tom's throat with expert ease, despite being an old farmer. The village she initially lived in would have to be still far more distant from Falkvard and closer to Barkamsted, but you understand the gist with the Pact War and all.

    Your definition for powergaming is missing a little minor something that we typically look for in order to show complete understanding, so please do expand on this! As well, regarding your character's age, if you would like her to be around 13 - 14 physically, you may reduce it some. While elves can vary somewhat with when they reach puberty, some earlier or later than others, they generally still appear around 14-ish even when they're 15 - 17. Furthermore, even at 24, Aelindrel would have been too young to have lived near the elven city. The forest of Manadh Calad had fallen a little more than 30 years ago, and is still dangerous too this day with wildlife (dire wolves, werewolves, manticores, etc) largely inhibiting it. Most hospitals would be war tents during the war, with there only fairly recently being an organized hospital in Falkvard when it was restored.

    Your definition for powergaming could use more expansion, particularly with adding another part of it that we look for in understanding. Please expand on that. As well as this, we would like for Nymeria's backstory to include more of the server's lore into it, namely in the Pact War. If she had lived in Silivrenmîr, she would be simply too young to have ever lived there seeing that the forest of Manadh Calad fell roughly 30 years ago. Following this, her father cannot have been an Elven lord, as all the elven nobility has its own lore developed for it and will need to be discussed more/given permission to play one with heritage. He could have possibly been a man of status, but no recognized nobility. It's very rare that a noble would consider a human partner in the first place.


    Just for the sake of clarification, if no magic application is filled out when you create the character, they simply won't have the ability to cast magic. There could be possible ways for her to have that ability later on, but that is for her to find out in-character, and it is in no means easy.

    Graham sounds like an interesting character, going against the norm of goodwill when he can rob someone blind given the chance. It's a nice change of pace that can be both fun and difficult to roleplay! However, your character fails to integrate more of our server's lore, particularly with the all-encompassing Pact War. During the war, human nobility was all but wiped out to a very little amount of surviving members that would no longer hold such status. As such, it is unlikely that Graham would have been a serf to a House, and that the generic tradition of knights was broken apart. These days in Saphriel, the Knights' Order rose up to take these titles and give them honor again. You can read more about it on our Enjin site under the 'guilds' tab.

    A well done application! So long as you can say that the town that Raina lived in was Barkamsted, her story would be all sound. The war officially ended but a mere six to seven years ago, so there couldn't have been any newly growing town during the time of your character's birth. Barkamsted was primarily the safest place for refugees to live and all other land past it were heavily affected by Pact forces.

    Your application has plenty of base, though it is lacking somewhat. Your powergaming definition is missing an essential part of understanding from it, as is the metagaming definition missing something fairly minor. We would also appreciate mention of the heavy hitting Pact War in relation to your character's backstory, like if the character lived in Barkamsted, as the hell gates and demon events came more as an extension from them. For reference, the Pact War ended roughly six to seven years ago, with the hell gates ending five to six years ago.

    Ja'kir sounds like a character with an established starting ground, though the application itself is missing something we look for. Your powergaming definition is missing another key part of it to show complete understanding. Furthermore, Ja'kir's backstory should integrate more of the server's lore, more specifically the all-encompassing Pact War. Since she is eighty-three, she would have been around three to five-years-old when the war first begun. Had her parents moved away to a human city at the time of her birth, any minor unnamed one (that would later be destroyed) or even the soon to fall capital Falkvard could have been the potential place they lived. Falkvard would be attacked fairly early on during the war, being one of the first to fall, with Barkamsted being founded five years later and also being a viable place for the family to flee. Just to give you some reference to work off from!
