Hey there! Just wanted to say a few things. I've seen that you've recently have applied for several different families who have given you great advice to build upon. Perhaps don't try to go from family to family hoping that one of their answers will be different than the last. A few things I think you should know is that House Black is currently isn't looking for any family member applications and that this is meant for staff. Also Oliver was born just recently so he would be only a few months old. He would be impossible to role play as seeing all he can really do is poop, pee, and sleep. Also this application is rather empty. You would need to have much more detail and accurately describe your character. Perhaps give your application a final look through too before you post it since there are several grammar mistakes. Before one could be considered to join a Nobility family, they usually require a bit of reputation and good reputation at that. So far I haven't seen much of you. I noticed that you recently joined and that's great! Massive is a great server and perhaps if you listen to some advice given by some of the more experienced members you could improve on your own skills of rp. I would recommend making your own character and start to rp as him. Come up to some more experienced players in game and rp with them. I am sure they will give you some tips if they notice and major flaws. They main thing is to listen and not get mad. No one is criticizing you or your skill. They just want to see you grow as an rper. I hope you consider some of the things I have said and that others have said as well. Have a Massive day!In-Game Name: WillyPilly7

Some in-character interaction in-game before applying is preferable.Do we contact you directly in regards to those bodyguard positions?
There are, yes. Rerik Ulster, for example, is Chris' chief gunner and engineer. I'd be looking for a pretty hardy character given the time period and that she'd be sailing with crews consisting mainly of men. It's possible though.Would there be any positions open as sort of a general crew member on the ship? I'm wondering because I have a character traied as a sailor, but all of my roleplaying with her is unrelated to sailing.
I'm going to say no for now. I'm lacking serious in-game interaction with this character and, as it stands, Chris wouldn't hire a Shendar mage.IGN: KrakenLord01
IRL Time Zone: Eastern Standard Time
Why do you want to join House Black: I wish for my character to gain character development through something he loves to do. Being an explorer and treasure hunter, House Black is perfect for him.
Describe your Character: Relveth is a collared Shendar mage who is always on the hunt for mysteries and treasure beyond. He's very social and easy to get along with, but has a nasty temper. He's tolerant towards others, always having a neutral opinion on the social order of religion and politics.
Job: Treasure Hunter

Character Name: Laeyns Crawley
Character Age: Twenty Three
Character Race: Female Ailor
What kind of staff position is your character interested in? Secretary
Briefly describe your character's personality and backstory: Laeyns Crawley is a wealthy upper class Ailor. She is very condescending and thinks of herself as better than others. But she also is very driven and will complete the task given her at all costs. In truth everything she does is to help better her position and standing in life, so she is very self centered. She is very much Ceardian, but she grew up in Ithania so she has a mix of the two cultures, although Ceardian is what she would be classified under.

Why do you want to join the staff of House Black? (What is your OOC motivation?) Mainly, because Wolfryk is looking for a job and more specifically within a Noble Family. He has heard of the Black Family and hopes to employ within there workforce. My OOC Motivation is just to get back into Noble RP and see new experiences as I heard RPing with this family is interesting.
Character Name: Wolfryk Kundimal
Character Age: 50
Character Race: Dwarf
What kind of staff position is your character interested in? Bodyguard/Guard
Briefly describe your character's personality and backstory: Wolfryk is a veteran of war and battle. He has fought against Dakkar, Orcs, Qadir and many other things. This has shaped him into what he is now. Despite all of his times in battle, he is rather calm unless angered. He will also lay his life down for who thinks deserves it, thus he is extremely loyal. Wolfryk was raised within a Hold near Grebor and was trained there for a while until he set out on his own and traveled across the world on a ship. He eventually found his way into Regalia and was quickly employed as a guard of sorts. He ended up making quite a bit of money from odd jobs. But by no means was Wolfryk rich, just enough to make Wolfryk comfortable.

Why do you want to join the staff of House Black? (What is your OOC motivation?): For quite some time, I've been wanting to immerse myself in the roleplay community and find new opportunities by approaching the noble scene as a servant. From what I've seen and heard, this family is quite laid back and relaxed, which is something that I find rather appealing. In addition, @Safety_Manatee, a close friend of mine, recommended it to me considering that she has the character Klary Black.

Position filled. Thanks to all who applied!
It's possible to become a family member, but I'm really, really picky about it. The demands that I set are along the lines of:Hiya, I couldn't find a application form regarding applications into the family so does that mean you can't apply for a family member?
Alright, thank you ^-^It's possible to become a family member, but I'm really, really picky about it. The demands that I set are along the lines of:
Because of these demands, as a means of being able to test them, I only offer family roles to people who I've role-played with a lot. We're often on the lookout for staff though. Staff are treated like family members.
- the player needs to know how to independently create growth and development for their character;
- I need to be able to trust the player to not screw our family over IC-wise in a really, major, tragic way (i.e. some experience with nobility helps);
- the player needs to be actually interested in joining the Black family as a member of a privateering family that works for Regalia, rather than simply joining because they want to try out being an "important, high noble" character.
Hello! Thanks for applying. It's a rejection for now because we haven't interacted with you before on the server, and thus don't know much about your roleplaying abilities, etc. However, we'll keep a look out for you around in Regalia and try to interact a bit.Black Family Member Application Form

Motivation for joining the Black family: My motivation for joining the Black family is to basically gain more roleplay skills and make friends. I've admired the black family since I heard of the family and I loved the idea of joining. When I wanted to apply most of the positions that I wanted where taken but now I have a chance! Another reason that I want to join is so I can develop Evelyn as a character and experience new role play scenarios. I also want to be apart of an active roleplay community. When I joined a noble family (House Holaharice) they wherent as active as they said they where so I left the family. Those are my reasons for wanting to join! If you want my skype or any other information just pm me! Thanks!~
Okay! I look forward to role playing with you/ the other family members! thanks!~Hello! Thanks for applying.

Character's gender: Male
Character's visual appearance: To act as a summary; Ben would stand at roughly 6'1, being more on the skinny side he'd weigh roughly 160-170 pounds. His hair would cut short, something along the lines of a Caesar cut if you would, though a tad bit longer. His hair color would be Jet Black, as well with blue eyes and a warm rosy skin color.
Character's personality:Character's ambitions: Bennie's ambitions are to earn some renown in the naval world; to establish himself as a damn good captain.These are just the starting traits I had in mind, I'll flesh them out at a later point or if you need me to do so now just let me know.
Humble
Arrogant
Observant
spiteful
Adaptable
Curious
Character's backstory: Born 260 A.C. in the Black estate in Narlas.
Early years of life were mostly spent tutoring the child, along with reading and writing Bennie learned geography and the different types of Naval vessels.
As expected scored a Marin on his exam and almost immediately sent off to the Crown Isle to attend Regalian Academy of the Captaincy.
After serving seven years in the Academy Benjamin was called home by his family. His kin believing him to be ready allowed him to act as a vice captain on a family ship and set sail to hunt Songaskia pirates in Farah'deen.
After some time Ben returned home; now in his early twenties, to take a break from pirating and took command of a ship to aid in the family merchant business.
Once the Anahera occupation of the holy city had ended Ben returned to Regalia to aid the family buisness there.
