I haven't seen any so far but alright. Can we get back to work?I know several people who play teen characters, they just aren't master swordsmen....
"Her". HER.You have actually made great progress. The only really major thing left now is that you only have 5 personality traits. Add one more personality trait. Make it something that could be perceived as a negative aspect of her personality, right now most of the personality traits are generally very positive about his personality.

Hows this @TheOverseer__Rebel - If he doesn't find something to be justified, he will become angered. He will challenge the action. He will likely try to do something about it, either getting into a shouting match, calling the guards, or in extreme cases, drawing weapons. If he sees something as unjust he will almost always fight it instead of taking it sitting down.
Avanthars are muscular barbarian elves which hate magic.I don't believe there are any Elves that could be described as muscular. Most of their combat and warfare is magic-based. However, I'm not entirely sure.
Since when is my character thread a Lore discussion XD
I just wanted to explain to show him the avanthars, i am sorry.
It was just a joke. I honestly don't care.I just wanted to explain to show him the avanthars, i am sorry.
Yes. I'll be switching between Nathan and Aerith(The new OC)Hey, came back from AFK, IG. And saw your OOC message that you have a new character now. Is this review still needed?
Okay...hope I get accepted...Alright, after talking with Jared, I will actually be following through with the full review. I've worked with you a bunch on it already, and need a bit of mental space to finish it off. Full review will take a couple days to come up with.
Yea...I give my characters Theme Songs a lot...that and the quotes are habits from an RP site that I will NEVER MENTION due to the severe issues I had with them.Honestly, all that is left is some formatting concerns. As he is written right now, the application meets all minimum requirements and Nathan is no longer a snowflake, nor is he really unbalanced.
Likes, dislikes, relationships, and his theme songs are technically not required, so it is good etiquette to put them in spoiler boxes.
To do this just highlight the text you are trying to hide and click spiler. Give it a title and hit okay.

Considering even TheOverseer__ didn't know about Ceardia happening over 50 years ago, where does it say this in the Lore?Yeesh! Talk about a delay! Sorry about that. Got swamped in real life, as it always goes. Anyway, I'm going to dive right into the review so you don't have to wait any longer!
These are some hefty edits, but I'l leave this pending unless you want to start over, in which case, only ask. Tag me when you've made your edits or otherwise! Until then...
- Ceardia's destruction occurred a little over 50 years ago in our lore. It's pretty much impossible for a 19 year old to be from there, much less to have survived it.
- "Rebel" seems like a poor choice of word for Nathan. He seems extremely lawful and within his bounds. Maybe "Just" is a better word for this one?
- While you do have six traits, I'm going to ask you to add one personality trait to Nathan that doesn't mention fighting.
- Could you explain Nathan's combat experience a little better? I don't think one could become proficient with blades just by using a practice dagger presumably at home. Learning a martial art typically requires a mentor, scriptures, or battle experience. Ideally all three, all three of which can be tricky to obtain. Especially for a boy who grew up in a shop.
- I'm going to say that Occasional Mental Issues are not a full weakness, and are an _occasional_ weakness. Add one more weakness of any sort.
- I can't really review Nathan's life story as 50% of it is askew with the lore as it stands. You may have to rewrite it with the knowledge that Ceardia's fall was 50 years ago.
Pending.

It's actually.. widely known around the RP community that it happened 50 years ago, it's on the wiki but I can't remember exactly where. But it did.Considering even TheOverseer__ didn't know about Ceardia happening over 50 years ago, where does it say this in the Lore?
WOW. So basically, everyone waited until it was far too late to tell me about this.It's actually.. widely known around the RP community that it happened 50 years ago, it's on the wiki but I can't remember exactly where. But it did.
I'll have to get back to you on this, it seems our timeline page has disappeared into the ether. Until then, take my word on it.Considering even TheOverseer__ didn't know about Ceardia happening over 50 years ago, where does it say this in the Lore?

Usually the "Ignore it for now, it don't really matter" thing kinda works. If you enjoy your RP with someone, then it would be pretty pointless to void the rp. This is all for fun, so if logic needs to be bent for the sake of happy Rp, then so be it.WOW. So basically, everyone waited until it was far too late to tell me about this.
So. Here's the problem we have now. Nathan's backstory will literally need a complete rewrite, but I currently have no ideas.
Secondly, because of this, HOURS of RP will need to be Voided.
I am rather upset now that no one bothered to tell me this until now.

Changed to a generic kingdom with a generic enemy.It is a minor tweak to your backstory... Just change the place and assume in your interactions in the past you actually said X other place and/or had some variation of the same basic events. Two of my characters have had interactions with Nathan and I can't say that it appeared essential to the character.
When I initially wrote Valan I made a a big error on that I wrote him having Ice Magic when he couldn't really have it due to having Lyre Magic. Since had actually used Ice in battle once that took a little reworking, but the other player involved was legit having a short conversation with a consensus on alternate events that didn't really effect the end result....
Thanks for the thoughtful review @Plecy! I spent so long staring at this thing I'm not sure I'd have ever come up with more suggestions -.-
I think this trait is too identical to "Kind." Think on it a little longer, try to come up with something that isn't touched upon.
Additionally, I notice this point was never addressed. I find it hard to approve a character who is so young, and with no formal training, as a "Very good" swordsman. Try to expand on his skill.Could you explain Nathan's combat experience a little better? I don't think one could become proficient with blades just by using a practice dagger presumably at home.

Making characters on Massive is hard ;-; I'll get to this tomorrow before Game 7, because it looks like the fucking Indians just threw the game.I think this trait is too identical to "Kind." Think on it a little longer, try to come up with something that isn't touched upon.

Wait, since when has that been the case. There are so many characters around who've been in the rotation since before Ceardia was decommissioned. With all that's happened since I would have figured it was pushed back into maybe the 280s but throwing events that actual, played characters will have experienced all the way out of living memory (effectively) seems a bit overboard.Ceardia's destruction occurred a little over 50 years ago in our lore.
This needs to be cleared up before I can continue edits to this thread.Wait, since when has that been the case.

I'm not just angry because I'm trying to write biographical journal for a recently deceased character or anything.
I am too.Just a quick question. What is the problem again? I'm having one of those moments where nothing makes sense.
No 19 year old character can be from Ceardia because the continent was destroyed before he was around, simple. Take Plecy's word on it.I am too.
Its confusion about when exactly Ceardia was destroyed.
Well his backstory already got rewrote.No 19 year old character can be from Ceardia because the continent was destroyed before he was around, simple. Take Plecy's word on it.
YAYI'd ask you remove the "He is very good with small blades." line because it's redundant now that you've made your edit, and it slightly contradicts what you say above. Otherwise, though, you've addressed every point I've given you well enough.
Approved.
@FlugalMC
Thanks!
