[Trash] Application - Mystia_Lorlei

Hello, Mystia. I'm Hutchy and I'll be helping you through whitelisting.
  • First, I’ll need to to clarify the units of measurement used in the character’s description. Currently, you use royal feet, which are different to regular feet in size. Using your description (and google) I’ve ascertained that her height of ‘midway over 6 royal feet’ is around 6’9. I’m not sure if this is intended, but for clarity and accessibility, I must ask that you convert this into feet and inches and/or metres.
    That in mind, when converting to more common units, I must ask that you keep in mind that currently your character seems to be unrealistically massive in pretty much every category. I have to ask that you keep in mind our stance on realism, even when it comes to the dimensions of our characters. In other words, please tone it down a little.
    Finally, if this is the result of her peoples’ apparent size as evidenced by how people outside their kingdom describe them, again, I have to ask that you tone this down overall and keep in mind the kind of medieval-esque period we’re aiming for, meaning that people of that size would be one in a million and likely the result of then unknown medical conditions, and not making up the population of a nation.
  • Next, I need to ask that you include more relation to the server’s lore, which can be found here, in your backstory. At the age of 40, the character would have been around during the Purges and the Civil War. If these events took place far away from her home and didn’t affect her directly, hearing it by word of mouth or seeing the aftermath in some way is necessary.
  • The backstory seems to focus more on the realm the character is a part of rather than the character herself. You need to shift this to focus on the character and how the events described within the current backstory affected her and made her the woman she is when she enters the setting.
    Additionally, with a story like this, you may be better served making a lore proposal here detailing the history of these people rather than cramming it all into the backstory of your character.

Also, can I ask that you highlight your changes in a different colour?

That's all for now. Bump the thread when you're finished with the edits and we can continue.
