I don't mean to start any issues, but I've a counterpoint. I'm not playing the parents. I do not wish to have a 'tragic' backstory either as I'd hope this would be a character to let me actually see the world. Another counterpoint to living outside the city was that (From what I understood in the lore) the only way to it was through a land bridge/swamp. If the Pact got past that, they set siege to the city? The was I was hoping for it was that they were in 'the right place at the right time.'
I respect the decision, and will be putting in another application if those point's don't change your mind, as I have friends (Who, admittedly are much better roleplayers.) that are joining, and I just wish to play with them

--IC Information—
Character name: Audric Gudabude
Race: Human
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Character Description:
(At least one to two paragraphs describing your character’s physical appearance, including height, eye color, and skin tone.)
Standing in at 5 feet 6 inches, and weighing at 163 pounds, Audric is your average human lad. He has light blue eyes, dark brown hair, and a pale skincolor. His face is nothing too special but by no means ugly with his youth. He is also somewhat muscular but not bulky, with most of his muscle being in his calves. His hands, however, are quite worn and used due to his time spent wandering.
Character Occupation: (Optional)
(For us to understand your characters starting skill set, your character still will need to contact the Kingdom to purchase any property)
Audric is currently a wanderer and quite barely an adventurer as the fiercest thing he's faced thus far has been a quite ornery raccoon that was around his camp. Ate well that night at the very least. He does, however, have a minor skill for cooking.
Character Personality/Traits:
(At least one to two paragraphs describing their personality traits and/or quirks.)
He's a dreamer, optimist, and very loyal - almost to a fault as it's likely he'll tag along with the first person that treats him well. Let us hope they are good. Being a dreamer and an optimist, it's quite likely that he doesn't know the world for how it is as he's rarely gone into any rougher part in the world.
Character Biography:
(At least three paragraphs describing your character's history and experiences, you must reference server lore)
Audric, the young adventurer. Practically a child in mind set off from his family's home in search of adventure in life. Three generations of the Gudabude family had managed to avoid the wars and disasters via their secluded homestead nestled within the mountains and hills south of Barkamsted. Audric, however, had never actually gone up to the city, but instead hears rumors and tales from the ever so rare passerby to their homestead. He, himself, rarely traveling a mile out. However, some days after his 18th birthday he decided to set out and see the world for himself. Thus, his story begins.
Other/Extra: (Images, notes, etc.)
Before I continue onto the next bit, I want to let you know that I'm terrible with backstories but Audric is nothing special. He is a normal person discovering the world. If you would like two paragraphs of him farming for 18 years I'll tell you, but I don't believe it necessary. I tend to grow my characters within the server rather than everything up front.
--Scenarios—
Please give us a roleplay response to both of these scenarios, at least one paragraph each:
A small riot breaks out in Barkamsted between Humans and Pact races. They're quickly gaining the attention of the guards as the situation escalates. Your character is somehow swept up into the crowd as the situation grows more dangerous, what do they do?
Firstly, Audric would wonder how he even got in the situation. Being rather, frail, he would attempt to escape the mob through the side. Is this what Barkamsted really is? A bunch of civil unrest? No, there has to be more. He would not partake in any rioting but would try to observe until they pass.
For whatever reason, your character finds themselves in an ancient tomb, the walls thick with brambles and foliage. From up ahead, you spy what appears to be a shambling mound of something. It pauses, quivers and moans. What do they do?
Good job, Audric, you got yourself into trouble again. His immediate action would, of course, try and get away from the shambling, thing. If escape is not an option, he'd draw his weapon. You did bring a weapon, right? He, however, would not leap into combat but instead just stand there watching it, and hoping it'll leave on it's own. If it doesn't after the few hours of silent observation, it would seem he'd have to confront it. Let us hope it's not too mean.
--Magic Application--
(Optional, this form must be filled out if you want your character to have magic at all.)
Magic Biography:
(At least three paragraphs about your character's relationship to magic, and how they may discover their potential.)
Please describe the magic system, including its limitations in your own words:
(Two Paragraphs, please mention how one would cast, the limitations to casting and specific races, and the consequences of overuse)
Please describe how you would use a weak trinket with your characters first/only aspect:
(Try to be creative, while acknowledging its limitations and utility uses)
-Please note that some aspects are set when a character is born, while others are up to practice. The number of aspects you have is limited by your character's race, but they may have less than the max should you so choose, but they will not be able to regain that lost aspect naturally-
