Job Applying for: I'd like to test your game's content for you, but if you're not looking for that, I guess I could come up with some stories or quests. I'm not good at coding, so I cant add the ideas I provide into the game.
Hours per week: I'm currently unemployed, but I do have other interests, so we can work out a schedule in person?
Your application is great, however in your occupation and backstory you describe that you wander through towns looking for work. (If this is a typo then let us know and disregard the rest of this post and your application is fine)
There is not really any other city besides Barkamsted. There are some small farming clusters around the city itself but beyond that the rest of the realm has been conquered by the Pact and is either occupied by the enemy or in ruins. This is the second time someone has made this mistake and it may be us who are at fault and we will take a look at the general lore and see about making this fact more clear. Make this small change and your app is a shoe in. However note that as time goes and and land is reclaimed towns could be reclaimed and used (Depends on players and player-base). In the end it is simply a misunderstanding on your part or our part, or both.
As for the Skype chat, it's not for calls, but rather for text based chat between other players and admins, it's also a medium where we can post updates for everyone.
Application updated. I thought Barkamsted was just the town everyone would start in, I didn't realize it was the only town not destroyed by the Pact. Thank you for correcting me, and I mean no offense when I say this, but yeah, you might want to make that a little bit clearer in the server's lore (maybe bold the sentence ithat says that Barkamsted is the only surviving Alliance settlement or something). I'm glad you like my application, though.

----IC Info----
-Character name: Keiko Yui
-Character race: Human
-Character age: 23
-Character Occupation (optional, note you still must talk to the lord about loaning or purchasing any stall/shop for your character if he/she would have one. Also be sure to give previous applications a glance before deciding your job, we don't need 5 bartenders!): Keiko starts out as a wanderer - she will probably seek employment from players that are hiring for their stores/bars/farms/whatever when she reaches Barkamsted. She is willing to learn whatever job people are willing to hire her for (so long as it doesn't break the rules of the server).
-Character description(At least one to two paragraphs describing your characterโs visual appearance.): Shoulder-length brown hair, although a strand on each side of her head reaches down to her bust. Emerald green eyes. Pale skin with just a hint of a sort of pinkish complexion.
-Character personality and traits (At least one to two paragraphs describing their personality traits and/or quirks.): Keiko is very caring, generous, and meek. She will often consider someone else's needs above her own, and is very loyal to the friends that she makes. However, she is also shy, timid, and at times fearful, and doesn't easily associate with people she doesn't know.
-Character biography (At least three paragraphs describing your character's history and experiences): Keiko has lived in human towns and villages all her life, and never did much exploring when she was young. With a farmer for a father and a seamstress for a mother, her family never had much money. With her parents working all the time and no siblings, Keiko often felt alone in her childhood. She was never good at making new friends, either, and her loneliness eventually led her to her worship of Aderoth.
As a child, she hoped that her worship of Aderoth would lead the deity to making the world a better place, but as she grew older, her faith let her away from her own concerns and brought her to think more of the needs of others. In her adolescence, she would often wander the chapels and temples looking for people in need. Although she never had the courage to actually seek her own place within the hierarchy of the faithful, many of those she interacted with in these places of worship considered her spiritual strength and desire to help others a blessing.
As the goblins, orcs, and trolls came with their warrings, the village she lived in sought to fight back. In the midst of some childish antics she and what friends she had during this time, she fell into a crate of swords that had been sharpened and readied for distribution to the warriors. She has had a phobic fear of sharp objects ever since. Sadly, her village fared poorly during the war, and Keiko eventually found her entire world razed to the ground. With nothing to live on and no family members to turn to, Keiko made graves for her family (because she couldn't find their bodies) and left, searching for some other bastion of civilization with which to make her living.
It is important to note that Keiko does not have a tradeskill, as she has spent most of her childhood as a servant of her deity instead of an apprentice to a worker. She has limited knowledge of farming, however, from watching her father work. She knows how to till the ground, plant seeds, and the intricacies of irrigation. She does not know what seeds do what, or any farming tools other than a hoe or mattock, as her father was too poor to till the ground by any means other than a tool in his hands. She does not know how to sew, however, as her mother was hesitant to have her daughter sitting around the house when she was a child. When Keiko was old enough to learn that sort of thing, she spent almost all of her time with people her mother would call 'religious fanatics'.
-Please give us a short RP response to these two scenarios. (At least one paragraph for each.)
Youโre walking around the markets at around noon. Thereโs a lot of people around you, still gathering their items as they prepare to shut down their many stands. Suddenly you feel a gentle lifting of your coin purse as a child graces you and soon after they take off sprinting. You have been robbed. Although Keiko is startled at first, and almost runs after the lad, she stops and contemplates that perhaps, being as young as this child is, he must be stealing as a means to survive. She lets the theft go, and prays silently to Aderoth that the money he took would lead him to a better life, and that he might become a better person over time.
Youโre heading back to the city through the woods when you hear a whining coming from nearby. Upon further investigation you come across a grey-coloured wolf that appears to have its leg caught in a bear trap. Around it is three smaller lumps of fur, obviously puppies belonging to the trapped mother. Without help, theyโll all die, but wolf skins are quite valuable too, not to mention that the nearby farms suffer quite a bit from the wolf population. Believing that all natural life is sacred, Keiko immediately attempts to disarm the trap so that the wolf might live and raise her children. This might require multiple attempts, however, as Keiko is not experienced with disarming traps. If she is not able to disarm the trap, she will head toward the village to seek someone who can do what she, in her inexperience, cannot.
Only fill out if you want your character to have magic capabilities. If you do not fill this out then your character will be incapable of performing any form of magic. Also note that it will take significant in character practice and experience to become any form of proficient in magic.
-Describe to us why you wish for your character to have magical capabilities: Being a faithful worshipper of the god of purity and healing, the ability to use even the weakest forms of Holy magic will give her a means to help people and serve her deity beyond her own limited physical and financial means. Should she gain this ability, I intend to have her be very unskilled with it at first, and have her practice with it repeatedly over the course of her life in whatever town she ends up in.
-Please give an example in your own words describing the limitations placed upon those who use magic: The use of magic elicits both a physical and mental strain on the user. Attempting to create a magical force beyond your ability will destroy your artifact at best and destroy your body at worst.
-Please give a simple description of the magic system in your own words: The use of magic requires physical objects with which to channel the energy you intend to use. It requires constant practice and a continuous search of even powerful artifacts in order to attain any sort of mastery of magic. Even attempting to use magic also requires concentration on the part of the user, thus the use of magic as a weapon requires even more practice and dedication in order to achieve.
-You are given a very basic trinket of fire, you haven't had much practice with magic yet, but you will try your best. Describe some things you could/would do with this trinket: A very basic trinket of fire would be capable of igniting items one would usually require as fuel for firestarting. It could also be used as a source of light and/or warmth, a means to melt ice, or a tool with which to torture your enemies by causing small burns over time (if you had the mentality for that sort of thing.) You could probably cook a small serving of food over time, but it would probably be a slow process.
Please join this server! It's a brand new world and needs lots of people to cultivate it and forge their own civilizations! A towny server's really only fun when there's a lot of towns in it.

This seems interesting! My IGN is KeikoYurino if you want to hook me up with the free rank.

I'll probably claim a home within the city to live in. I would not want to curse this fair server with my atrocious building skills.
