Asthalan Flamebringer

Asthalan Flamebringer application
-Why does s/he want to join the lowlife theft gang, the Sixty
Thieves? (And OOCly, why do you want to join?)
Asthalan has quite some debt in gambling, a hobby he got after
going in a downwards spiral in his life. Coming from a rich
family and now having nothing left, has left him frustrated and
he would do anything to have that life of luxury back. He is
willing to risk quite a lot for this. He has tried the "good
path", but wasn't able to find a job with a steady income.
Frustrated he was hanging around in Ratched and stumbled upon
three people, trying to mug him. This left him thinking about
the possibilities besides having an honest job. Since that
moment he has done some minor stealing (mostly by starting a
small fire somewhere, yelling "Fire" and stealing some of the
goods that are left behind. This doesn't always work though).
He did notice that a life like that isn't easy while being
alone. For this he has his hopes with the Sixty Thieves. By
working with them, he wishes to achieve the feeling of safety
and the amount of money that he is longing for.
OOCLY: Many years ago, when the Sixty Thieves were still on
Defias Brotherhood, I used to be a part of the guild. Because of
some personal issues and my studies and... well RL can be quite
a pain sometimes... I had to leave the guild and even WoW. Years
later, I started playing again. At first I didn't rp at all, but
I missed it so much that I casually started to rp again. I had
fun that way, but missed the feeling of having an active rp
community and got bored with the casual
sitting-at-the-bar-chatting-with-one-or-two-people-rp. So I took
a sneak peek at AD and found the Sixty Thieves back. I really do
wish I can be part of the guild again, since I really missed
those times.
- What would their nickname be?
"Dice" would be a good nickname, because of his gambling
problems. But if the guild thinks otherwise, I wouldn't mind to
have another nickname.
- How powerful is your character?
Asthalan is a mage, but he did not complete his studies. He also
wasn't exceptionally skilled or anything like that. For this
reason he has quite a lot of restrictions on his magic. He can't
make portals, turn people into animals or do a spell multiple
times in a short time span. Instead he can only do 3 spells:
1) Combustion: he can burst into flames and can keep this up for
max 1 minute. He can only do this once a day, since it consumes
a lot of his mana (let's say about 60%). This is an instant
cast. He usually does this only to scare people off or when he
is angry.
2) Fireball: Asthalan can make a fireball and direct it towards
an enemy to ignite his/her clothing. There needs to be something
to burn, or else it will just be some heat that will fade away
rather quickly. This spell needs some time (around 20 seconds)
to be cast. He needs to be free to move his fingers to cast
this. If he uses no other spells that day, he can use this 2
times a day. If he has already used Combustion, then he can only
use one fireball on the same day. It does consume a large
amount of mana (let's say about 35%).
3) Candle: he makes a really small candle like flame on the tip
of his index finger. This almost harmless little flame can be
used to give a little more light in a room or to ignite a wick.
The flame can be put out by anyone with just a little gust of
wind. Asthalan can't make the flame when it rains or when his
hands are wet. This spell is hardly magic consuming (let's say
5%).
For every spell, Asthalan needs the enchanted golden ring that
he always wears. Without it he would burn himself (and his
clothing).
Besides magic, he has to learn how to fight with a staff in
order to survive. He isn't highly skilled in this, but enough to
defend himself.
- What's her/his background like?
Asthalan comes from a rich magister family. However, since the
downfall of West-Silvermoon his life has gone into a downwards
spiral. He wasn't able to finish his studies in Dalaran because
of the money problem that arise (his parent's were dead and
couldn't pay his studies anymore). He was also the cause of an
(incidental) fire in the school's library. For this he has been
charged with arson and is banned from Dalaran (long before the
Sunreaver's got banned).
Since this moment he has been wandering around Azeroth. He got
addicted to gambling and thought it was a good way to make some
easy money to sustain himself. This quickly proved to be wrong
and he got into some debts. He slowly started to sell his
possessions to pay back those debts or to bet some more.
Recently he even gambled away his fancy robe. This made him
realise he needs a more steady income.
Getting a steady job isn't easy for him, for he never acquired
any title. He also has a bit of a lack is social skills since
he spend a large amount of his life studying (example: He
doesn't always get sarcasm).
After his encounter in Ratched with three people trying to mug
him, he has been considering the possibility of getting "easy
money" that way...
- How consistent is your character with following the lore?
I really do my best to follow the lore. If I don't understand
something, I look it up or ask around.
- "Are you a killer, son/lass?"
Asthalan never killed. No one died in the library accident
either, but some important books and scrolls where lost in the
fire. For this he got banned from Dalaran. He never intents to
kill, but isn't afraid to inflict pain on someone.
- Do you accept ‘RP-consequences’?
I do. I've done so in the past and I still do. Also the reason
why I won't even try to come back with my old character, since
it wouldn't be right to leave the Thieves and then happily come
back and try to enter the guild again (while wanting to stay
alive).
- Any specialities s/he has? Perhaps a skill in something, a
behavioural or personality trait that can be considered unique.
Asthalan knows quite a bit about herbs and recognises them.
However, he doesn't know how to prepare them for usage.
He knows a bit of two about enchanting items. Fire resistance
enchantments are his specialty (for obvious reasons).
He will never say "no" to a bet.
- What's your activity like?
I do my best to be online frequently. There are certain periods
of the year that I will be less online because of my work (like
the end of June and whole December), but I will make sure to
always to inform you if something has come up.
My whole reason for coming from DB to AD is to be more active
involved in an rp guild, so it's only natural that I will play
my part and attend meetings and events as much as I can.
Of course sometimes there is that thing called RL that prevents
me, but I guess everyone has that once in a while.
I also want to apologise for any grammar mistakes. English isn't
my native tongue, but please feel free to correct me if needed.

Thanks for taking time to write the application!
Love the nickname Dice, keep at it!
I like the character design and can see how he can fit nicely
wthin the ranks of the guild - I imagine he can offer a nice
touch to the guild being a mage / having magical abilities, as
we only have one mage at the moment (so he will be less lonely
too). Got no questions, anything esle I want to find out I shall
ICly!
And don't worry about activity. We just like being notified when
people disappear for weeks at a time, otherwise we kick. The
guild is in a quiet period at the moment anyway - a 'relaxed'
state I suppose you can say.
Approved!

Hello again, always nice to see oldies coming back!
What comes to making a comeback on a character that used to be
in the Thieves in the past, we've allowed that before e.g if the
reason for the absence was a long prison sentence or something
alike. But anyway, you're here with a new character and
application, so to respond to that: an informative and
well-written application, with a fitting background story and
reasoning to join a bunch of criminals. As said above, we don't
have or get many mages who suit the guild-concept, but this
makes a fine exception to it!
I've got no further questions to ask, so I'll just say approved.
