Appearance Information

  • Dailang is 6 feet, 1 inch tall, and has a lean athletic build with average fat. Their hair is typically dark black, dirtied by soot. Their hairstyle is usually wild and messy, kept contained with a headband. They have a variety of scars from their many scuffles and conflicts, in particular, a large diagonal one across their chest, a circular, irregular one on their neck, and a small vertical one on their back. Finally, their left arm was amputated after a run-in with the law and is replaced with a prosthetic.
Life Story
  • Dailang was adopted by a family of mercenaries in the Southern Kingdom of Huo-Chang, for their original parents died in a bandit raid soon after they were born. Dailang was raised by mercenaries who were passing at the time, given a simple education, and trained in hunting, scouting, and pathfinding.
  • One skill that Dailang lacked was combat, being unable to properly overpower and even take on stronger opponents in fair duels. Thus, Dailang opted to provide support for the company instead, beginning to learn jade tech engineering so that they may craft and upkeep handy appliances.
  • Dailing had a sense of wanderlust that motivated him to explore outside of the Zhong Kingdoms. An opportunity would soon arrive when the mercenaries made plans to immigrate to Regalia and find more opportunities there.
  • As the group landed, they continued their journey onwards by caravan, where Dailang continued to have his skills trained and honed. Unfortunately, as they were traveling, they were beset by a coven of vampires, Dailang was captured along with what mercenary companions remained alive after the attack.
  • Undergoing great hardships during their imprisonment, they eventually found a fellow captive in the form of an Exist Apparition. After convincing Dailang, part through actual reasoning and part through deception, they proceeded to host the Apparition, using its powers to break free.
  • Dailang having barely escaped with his life was now stranded in the middle of nowhere. Forming a contract with the Apparition before bidding them farewell (or at least supposedly), Dailang continued to roam the wilderness, trying to find the promised city.
  • Upon finally finding Regalia, they were fully consumed with grief and unaware of both, the wild chaos of Regalia, and the hidden squatter within their mind. Both would define and influence their attempts to find new kin and create a new life.
  • Dissatisfied and disillusioned, Dailang would have started to train themselves in the more devious arts, using the city as a training ground to hone their skills in roguery and knavery, attempting to further make up for their lack of power.
  • Now craving more power, Dailang would have started to seek more heretical means of strength, pursuing leads and snippets of information to find what they sought. Egged on by the Apparation within, they would have continued their pursuit till they met a cahal.
  • Forming a contract with a Cahal and agreeing to their sanction, they would have taken on their curse, becoming afflicted with cahalism. With renewed strength and zeal, they would have more eagerly begun to take the fight to those that wronged him long ago, all the while seeking more kin.

I really apologize if there are any cliches or pretty bad detail. This is the first time I have done something like this. I am readily take any criticism
 
  • +4 Racialism (+4 investment)
  • +4 Sanguinology (+4 investment)
Small thing here. I'd ask that you state that this is Magical Knowledge, with the packs cited alongside, just to keep everything a bit more coherent.


Basic Information:
Yueliang Hou primary goal in life was to protect and serve the innocent and wrongfully persecuted. He felt that a good place to start would be to join a guard, a group of people dedicated to fighting petty crime and helping the good citizens of Regelia. He however, has a long way to go, as he is rather new to Regelia, staying mostly in Dexai for the greater part of his life. His family is mainly unknown, as he was given up to an orphanage. Adopted by a family of the war dynasty, they trained him in the way of the eastern blade. His secondary ambition is to start a family of his own, one that he can raise himself, just as his surrogates had done to him. His secret ambition is to gain closure for an earlier event in his life.
Optional information, in general, should be kept in a spoiler to keep the app easier to navigate for others. You can create a spoiler through hitting that plus button on the toolbar!


Character's Religion: Loong Dragons
Please include a value out of 10 for how religious the character it.


Abandoned by his parents when younger, Yueliang Hou was taken in by a kind loving family, adopting the clan name, Yueliang. Having abit of a mischievous streak, he was abit of a handful when all things were said done. Ultimately, he cared deeply for his adopted family, and was incredibly bonded with them. Learning to fight from a young age, he started to become a decent fighter, for a War dynasty. Training under his War dynasty family and then from a tutor. Another connection was made, as his tutor kept up his training and was a mentor figure.

Unfortunately, while on a way to an event in Regalia, Yueliang Hou's tutor was ambushed by bandits and was ultimately overwhelmed. Yueliang Hou, crushed, stooped into sadness until he realized that his mentor would have wanted him to move on and continue living a normal life. Yueliang Hou, now an adult, dedicated his time to training even harder and ultimately, decided to choose a guard's career path, wanting to prevent the innocent from the same fate that befell his mentor.

He would protect the innocent and help those that were wrongfully persecuted. He would move to Regalia, a place he saw, was a perfect training ground to get stronger and build a decent life but also, gain closure by finding the thugs that killed his mentor and bringing them to justice. Along his journey, he decided he would make many friends along the way, refine his fighting ability and maybe find someone to love.
The Life Story here feels ever-so-slightly too short. Please expand upon it some more. Consider elaborating more on why the Sihai left Dexai for Regalia, and where they acquired their other proficiencies.

Good day @Mollymock or whoever may review this profile. I've made a couple of small changes after a couple of events that occurred. These changes include proficiency point re arrangement and the addition of magic
Thank you for taking the time

The changes have been finalized with my character having 3 magic spells, medical sciences proficiency, a combat buff, a magical knowledge de buff all with an updated story explaining the changes. All changes have been highlighted with purple
 
+12 Eastern Martial Combat Skill(+10 investment)
Small edit needed here. Please make it cler whether you've invested 12 or 10 in this proficiency.



  • {Spirit}Overwhelming Force (+4 investment)
  • {Light} Healing Grace (+4 investment)
  • {Whimsy} Creeptastic (+2 investment)
Please state the proficiency cost of these spells with the rest of your proficiencies. Listing it at +10 Sorcery Points should be fine enough.

Hello @Mollymock . The major changes I've made include the character's turning into a werebeast and proficiency point allocations. I've also added a few medical tools to my inventory.
 
How would your character express Happiness and Contentedness?
Hou is generally rather quiet and won't always openly show happiness. He shows contentedness by grinning, showing that he's ok with the situation he's in.
How would your character respond to experiencing Fear?
When Hou is faced with fear, he comes out of the reticent shell he's in and starts to wisecrack the situation, usually making quips and jokes about the situation he's in and if applicable, begins to taunt whatever is scaring him.
How would your character respond to experiencing Stress?
It depends on the situation. If it is work-related or personal related, he will often find comfort in getting a drink, preferably with acquaintances. However, if he is in big trouble, he starts to madden a little, singing strange songs in a deliberately broken tune, muttering to himself, etc. After a while though, he starts to calm down and prays to his gods.
How does your character view Law and Authorities?
He sees them as regular people, trying to make the city a better, safer place for the people living there. He respects their profession and hopes to join a charter or order one day. In the meantime, he works as a mercenary, both for pay and keeping busy, seeing the job as a way to pass time and engage in training and combat. He also, however, gets irritated when a guard tries to use their power to bully a person.
How does your character feel about Races other than their own?
Having sailed to Regalia with a crew of mixed origin, he sees that all races have their quirks and personalities but does not think one is above nor below the other.
How does your character feel about Religion for themselves and other faiths?
Hou is a bit religious and believes in their dragons and their power to help the Sihai people. He tolerates other religions but believes that is the true faith.
How does your character feel about the Arcane and Magical in the world?
He has mixed feelings about it. On one hand, magic is causing the attacks on his town from monsters spawned from the Nether-Aetherium. On the other hand, he has seen sorcery used for the good people
How does your character feel towards their family?
Yueliang Hou loves his adopted family but feels overshadowed by his siblings. It's the main reason he moved to Regalia. His father taught combat skills first and taught him about vampires and their tales, allowing Hou to tag along with work every now and then. His mother worked as an alchemist's assistant and gleaned some skills from her boss, teaching it to Hou. This lead Hou to look for an alchemy tutor in Regalia to seek training.
What is your character the proudest of about themselves?
Hou takes pride in being a medic while fighting. He is proud that he has the ability and has before, saved people's lives.
What motivates your character to move forward and better their life?
Living in a household with multiple adopted siblings,
What is your character's biggest insecurity?
Answer. You may write more than one.
What is your character's biggest fear?
Answer. You may write more than one.
You've not answered some of these questions, and some responses are a little short. Please try keep each answer to a minimum of two sentences.

@Mollymock , I made the requested edits in Purple. Also, I aged my character 2 points and added those points to the Eastern Unarmed Combat proficiency. I also changed Squad Tactics to Magical Knowledge. I also added more content to the character's questions. Thank you for reviewing application.

@Mollymock , Hello! Added abit more detail to my inventory, aged my character a year, rearranged my profs around, switched out a mutation and added a relationship subsection. Made all changes in Purple.
 
@Athelois , made significant changes which includes prof shuffling, the updating of Hou's werebeastism, the addition of Ritualism, the changing of format for basic alignment information, making Hou a bloodcast and changing as well as adding onto his life story. All changes made in PURPLE
 
From what I can tell, everything is in order, Approved.
 
Made minor changes to proficiencies and phys stat, as well as adding fluff to backstory. All changes made in PURPLE. Added additional new language after making necessary changes to backstory to reflect this.

@HydraLana , my apologies for the ping but I was told to bump it up after like- a week or so had passed? So yeah, made some edits and additions to prof points and added some fluff to backstory, all of which are made in PURPLE
 
Made some aesthetic changes and added a change log to my app to make record of every prof shift that was under 10 points. Hope this makes things easier for y'all in the future!
 
@HydraLana Massively reworked my character application and it's aesthetics. I decided to soft retcon the taking of Hou's hand because the maim had occured during the 2nd day of me being on massive and me not fully understanding how maim permissions worked and I decided to reverse it. IC reasoning is that it was healed by an Altalar with Ammu Loa's Savings. The rest of the changes are in the changelog found at the bottom of the page, hope it aids you.

Did you speak with the people, individual, or organization behind the loss of the hand before doing this?
 
I have run it by the individuals and I have their blessing to go on with the retcon.
I'm going to Re-Approve this but your application has a huge spacing problem I would suggest you try and fix since it makes reading it extremely hard.
 
@HydraLana , updated my character's profs and swapped out old profs for new. The changes are detailed in the change log at the bottom of the page but to summarize, it was a swapping around of profs and physical stat. All changes made in PURPLE
 
My Review:
  • I only notice this now, but your three different sets of inventory are unacceptable. While it should just be an aesthetic addition for a character, you have three completely different item arrangements, with some of those items being not at all minor or subtle to possess. You need to remove them from a spoiler, and set out at most, 8 things the character has on their person at a time. They cannot just constantly walk around with everything and the kitchen sink.
Additional Details: He lost his left hand to an attack by a thug and now wears a hook. Since then, however, he was given a metallic hand by his lover which he wears on a daily basis. Additionally, he has many scars across his torso from various battles in his hometown of Dexai and from the beginning time he came to Regalia. He sometimes wears the Bloodcast Cape while out and about but otherwise leaves it at home.


RECENTLY:

Hou found an Altalar that was willing to donate their left hand to him at the price of 100 regals. Hou's left hand is now paler, a small scar left behind.
Kathar-Altalar (Learnt from traveling with his mentor)
  • Why exactly did his bloodcast mentor teach him this specific language when their travels took them across Daen, a region which mainly speaks the Altalar-based language dialects. Kathar-Altalar is used by, well, the Kathar, and there's no mention in the LS of Kathar being a major impact on him, or his Sihai mentor.
  • It's been two months, any updates to the end of his Life Story on where he's been, what he's done?
  • Finally, I'm now making it mandatory: fix the spacing issues of your application. It practically doubles the length.
Tag me once you've done all of the needed changes @BluKnight10
 
@HydraLana All changes have been made and clarified! They have been detailed below and marked in PURPLE on the app

  • Fixed the spacing issue and traded in the image spacers for text ones.
  • Clarified on how Hou regained his left hand.
  • Finished up the Chronicles and listed down the most notable changes in his life.
  • Made it so he had one brief, typical inventory.
  • Swapped out bola combat for metallurgy. I decided against adding a new combat prof and moved to weapon and utility metallurgy instead.
  • Added new blurbs or made small adjustments in back story making the changes make sense.

  • You have not explained why he knows a Kathar language. You mention no impactful encounters with Kathar in his life story, simply having traveled to Daen and learned about Nelfin Races isn't cause to learn the knowledge of one of the more complicated Races. Either state a proper reason why he knows the Language through the Life Story, or remove it and save yourself the Proficiency points.
Clarified on how Hou regained his left hand.
  • https://wiki.massivecraft.com/Altalar#Talea.E2.80.99s_Blessings "Talea's Blessings however, only apply to Characters who follow a very strict code of conduct as described below." His left hand being regained still isn't valid. Your character doesn't fulfill two of these three rules just from a cursory examination of the application. You need to either change it so that he never lost the hand, or makes use of Body Mend I as the explanation if you want to keep him symmetrical.
A kaginawa (grappling hook)
  • We don't allow for grappling onto roofs and running around on them, please remove this from his inventory.
