Mel's application.
By: Thaneton Date: September 28, 2016, 9:13 am
---------------------------------------------------------
- Why does s/he want to join the lowlife theft gang, the Sixty
Thieves? (And OOCly, why do you want to join?)
Mel is an outlaw, he's been living and working in and around
Undercity for the best part of fourty years, this is why he has
such a good relationship with Undead he meets, while others see
them as the rotting corpses they look like, Mel sees them as any
other folk. Mel takes a small part of inspiration from Robin
Hood, in that he'd gladly steal from someone he knows has too
much, for example a goblin who is literally rolling in it, and
give it to himself, and those he deems even less fortunate. He
takes a great amount of pity on the Undead, and therefor he
helps them as much as he can, however some are as described
above, rolling in it, he tries to make a balance in the wages.
He is by no means rich, as most of his money goes to the locals,
though he does not do it publicly. He would rather they get the
money from an unknown face while he remains anonymous.
- What would their nickname be? (Yes, all thieves have
nicknames. Choose a nickname that is one-worded. Some names are
already taken ofc.)
There is one nickname I love, which is Silver. This is for two
reasons, one the character has silver hair, as he is getting to
the older stage of his life. This is something he is conscious
about, but he also likes it, it shows he has the ability to
survive and fend for himself. It is something he is happy to
bring up, but dislikes it when others bring it up first. Mel
also takes only a small cut of his own earnings, preferring
Silver to gold. This again fits the nickname well.
- How powerful is your character?
Not overly so. He can pick basic locks, and he is very fast, and
because of his age this comes as a surprise to most. He is at
home using two curved swords. But, he is no master of combat.
He'd rather use it as a threat than actually engage in it. He
prefers to use tricks of light and his own speed to scare people
into giving him what he wants, that is if he can't charm them.
He is charismatic, or he tries to be. He's also confident,
perhaps overly so, this can be seen as a weakness as it can put
him in tight spots during dangerous times. He is also great at
jumping, both from person to person, and over/across obstacles.
He's very efficient in the art of Parkour, however this is best
used when he knows his surroundings, e.g. undercity. In an
unfamiliar place it can lead to him trapping himself.
- What's her/his background like?
His family were high in the chain of command, this made him want
to leave, want to help people. After hearing about the undead he
felt a great deal of pity and decided to help them, this is
where he started to practice his pickpocketing and speed
training, in order to survive. (This is a work in progress.)
- How consistent is your character with following the lore?
I am not 100% familiar with wow lore, I know my fair share and
have been PvEing since early MoP, however my lore is not up to
scratch, most of my roleplay was done on SWtOR, which was my
focus lore wise until now, when I decided I wanted a change.
However since my character is nothing outrageous I feel it is a
good starting point.
- "Are you a killer, son/lass?"
He has, he did not like it. He tries not to. He has killed two
people, one was already an undead, which may make others feel
better about him, but he feels just as bad. The other is one I
would prefer to reveal in roleplay, rather than in my
application.
- Do you accept ‘RP-consequences’?
Of course, in Swtor I have had two characters killed, and many
times have they been injured. So long as it is all fair and
square I have no issues.
- Any specialities s/he has? Perhaps a skill in something, a
behavioural or personality trait that can be considered unique.
He's a silver fox, which isn't exactly unique. He's adept at
picking locks, pick pocketing and skulking in the shadows,
though he cannot turn invisible. He is also very good at
charming people, or so he thinks.
- What's your activity like?
High on my PvE character, and on SWtOR as long as RP was still
interesting I was logging on every day I could.

I am still shocked we have no "Silver" or "Gold". Approved
nickname! and more importantly, we appreciate the time and
effort you put into the application.
I very much enjoyed our RP (It is I, the little green
abomination) and that enough gives you my approval. Reading
everything you wrote just now makes it seem like your character
will be a great addition to the gang.
No other questions or comments! Top stuff.

Hello and thank you for applying!
Pretty much what was said above - enjoyed the brief bit of RP we
had, and there doesn't seem to be anything out of place in your
application - looks very decent. What comes to not being so
familiar with lore, not everyone can be an expert. The other
members will be glad to answer any questions you might have -
should they know the answer to them themselves! As you said,
playing a 'simple' character is an easy way to get around the
lore, as you won't risk being too powerful or posess other
unrealistic skills, and so forth.
Approved!
