Please apply here to join the Duchy of Trinsic. Before doing so please make sure you are familiar with the rules of CoRE, the Duchy itself, and at least the basics of the Trinsic law (all of this information is posted on this forum).

Application

Character name: Vera Yael

Playing times: (mon-fri) Evenings, (Sat-Sun) Varies. I work full time, plus raise 2 small boys, run the household, and take care of numerous cats and dogs.

RP experience: Very limited on UO. A few friends and I tried to join the RP community on great lakes…regretfully they seem to be either lacking in strong leadership, organization, or motivation. Most of my roll playing experience comes from actual D&D, wonderful game, but doesn’t leave you anyone to verify my RP skills with.

PvP experience: None. PvP is an aspect of UO I’ve never really had the time to really get into, however, is something I’m willing to learn. The downside to this, I have a lot to learn, the upside, I don’t have any bad habits to unlearn.

Character background As full a story as possible please

At this point, honestly I can’t give you much of an actual background, but plenty of her basic personality. In light of UO actually adding the elven race, she naturally came from Heartwood. In classic D&D style, she is a Moon elf, the very same elves that feel it’s their job to be protectors of all that is good and defenders of evil, and having viewed their job as finished, stopped interacting with the outside world some time ago. That didn’t set very well with Vera though, she’s still rather young by elven standards, not yet even two centeries old. She wasn’t around when her people “finished their job and rid the world of evil”, and thus, promptly set out on her own leaving Heartwood to see the outside world for herself and if “evil” was really gone. She quickly learned that evil was very much active and present in the world once again, yet this news fell on deaf ears when she went back home. (granted, there are a lot of elves running around in the game now, but, as Vera is very new to the shard, she doesn’t know them, so obviously they don’t come from the same little elven community. And sure she has parents, but, unless I decide to write a story about them and her childhood, and it would be a pretty boring story indeed as nothing noteworthy really happened until she decided to leave, I haven’t found the need to really give them names yet, or personality, or anything for that matter. I want to play out Vera’s story, and want to start out with as clean a slate as possible so that she can be developed through actual RP.)

Though she doesn’t really mean to, Vera has the classic superior attitude of the elven race. The “outside” world is still very new to her, so she is currently cautious while she learns the land, and the basic laws and rules of the land. While she’s openly friendly, and tries to be polite to everyone she meets, she’s not necessarily trusting, or willing to give up information about herself.

The one friend she has made thus far is a Human by the name of Michael Hawk. While out exploring, she ran into a bit of trouble in Covetous with Elder Gazors (blasted magic users!) and Michael gallantly came to her rescue when he saw her in trouble, almost getting himself killed in the process. It is true that Elves do not take friendship lightly, nor do they necessarily make friends easily, and Vera is no exception. But in Michael, she saw a kindred spirit, and a fellow defender of good, and they became fast friends from that point on, even if they don’t quite always understand each other and their ways.

And this concludes what I’ve developed for Vera thus far. The rest I’d rather act out in game and see where things go, and what plots and stories can be thought up from here.
