New Player (Plan to Join in June)

Don't worry Jenna, we will treat her just like you treat us.  Nor sure how that will work out IG, but OOG, she will be welcomed. 

I will be there in July, green skin and all, eh? Wonderful! Sadly I will not be there to offer friendly dryad banter and such, but I hear there are some pretty out there Satyr's and quite respectful Kitanese.

Also, the cute, silly green girl, can speak for herself. *smiles sweetly*

And Andrea, I was practically peeing my pants when I first went. (TMI, I know) But within five minutes many people had made me feel extremely welcome. Plus, with a friend like Jenna, no one's going to mess with you too much

Indeed, the only thing we have to fear, is Jenna herself .

Jenna is a pansy.

Do not meddle in the affairs of Jenna, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup...

Giggity.

Al! Please don't die without us! I do not want to hear about one of us dying in a pool of his own blood while ghouls feast upon his arms as he is still screaming for mercy!!!!!

So please be careful

By implication you are calling
Jenna a ghoul.  You gonna take that, Toots?

I'd say... Soul harvester.

I think Id rather be called a ghoul that toots....Charlie....

You, Leslie, are not a "Toots." 

I liked that "soul harvester" one...

Nah, just fact.

Ok for the July event, I might need someone to carpool with (I'm in New Jersey).  I've modified my alt to be someone different.  Still my main will be a dryad healer, but my alt will be a hobbit scholar (name Dorega).

I have a red robe with silver lining that I can use as well as some pants (like jogging pants) still wondering how I can modify it.  Green face/body-paint no problem 

hobbit scholar (name Dorega).

Yay scholars!

Ok, I've been drafting up my character history, yet I have to find a home land for him.  After looking through the baronial library, the druid's grove in the barony of Travance seems like a good place to start.  I didn't seem able to find another place, but I hope it's good enough to be my home land.  My religion may be Andorra (Purification).  How does it sound so far?

It all sounds great Al, and if you need a ride I got you.

The Druid's Grove isn't a "homeland" - Particularly not the one in Travance, but that is something that must be found out InGame.  Groves are small locations where Druids can gather, usually monitored by one chosen Druid and cared for by the rest of the group.    It is not a place a person could be from, or even reside in for any length of time. 

A homeland would instead be one the towns or areas of the many kingdoms on the main continent, or in one of the lands located in the Barony of Travance.  Just keep in mind that the lands of Travance were only settled 10 years ago, so keep that in mind if your PC is older than that.

Ok, then that homeland is out.  Well as a dryad, I know that my character isn't accustomed to living in civilization.  However I kinda tied in a friendship to my alt character Dorega Roadsworth.  That's how my dryad got his mace and red robes.  After looking at the geography, I think that the Human Kingdom of Kormyre might be just the place.  Within that the forests of Arkovnia seem good enough as well.

However I kinda tied in a friendship to my alt character Dorega Roadsworth.

Unfortunately, that's a no-no.  Your characters can never have met / spoken / etc to avoid metagaming.  However, I don't think you necessarily have to write in a reason why you have a mace and robes, unless you really want to.  While uncomfortable with civilization in general, I think it would be completely acceptable for a Dryad to have those things.  It should be easy enough to modify your Dryad's history to eliminate his ties to your alt, while not screwing up your history entirely.

EDITED: Hmm, this may be complete, but that doesn't mean I can't add more till the event.  Thanks for the advice.

Not to put to fine a point on it, but how would my character know any of this?  We have never seen one another and if by chance we had, we certainly have not been introduced and hence have had no social intercourse. 

I guess when asked, that could be the answer.

I believe what Charlie was getting at is that it's generally not a good idea to post all the details of your character on the boards.  It's much more fun to learn all this info in-game, and makes roleplaying the character all the more enjoyable.  The only person that needs to read your character history is the director, James.  More information on submitting your history can be found here: www.knightrealms.com/forums/index.php?topic=1115.0

Thanks for the link Sean, I ended up sending it to character@knightrealms.com instead.
