Do you have any prior experience with Requiem? If so, please detail when (and what characters, if desired) you previously played:
Yes. Previous characters were Vernon Jayek and Delacroix Mercer.

Briefly summarize your prior role-playing experience in a sentence or two:
A little bit of UORP, D&D, WoWrp, and several other RPGs.

Why do you wish to play on Requiem, and what do you expect from the shard?:
Would like to play for fun as previous UORP has been as such.

What will your character’s name be?:
Lyle Baros

Please briefly describe the physical attributes of your character, including age, looks, height, weight and any notable features:
He is a man of average height standing at 5’10” with a weight of 143lbs and a somewhat lean build though very thin, taller than the average man of Yultac from which he hails. Sporting short well-cared for and combed curly hair he often stands with his hands behind his back. His eyes are an icy blue and his nose has an aquiline shape to it. He is very pale.


Briefly state your character’s intentions or motivations for entering the First Province:

Seeking to establish a business in the First Province to acquire enough money to return to the Midlands to rebuild his estate.

Briefly provide a pertinent detail or notable quality of your character’s history (this does not have to be exhaustive nor revealing of any information you wish to keep secret):

Born in the midland province of Yultac in the famed city of Dwindain his family was no different than many of the Yultish inhabitants and worshipped the coin more than anything. They were a lowly family with insignificant impact on the region at large. From their small estate they produced a fine wine they sold to other surrounding families and made a fortune. The head of the family, Lyle’s father was a beloved socialite but was obsessed with material things and appearance, this however drew the eyes of many.

After accumulating a mountain of debt from loans he was unable to pay back he fell ill. Succumbing to his illness the estate and family passed on to Lyle who had high hopes for the future though it would not last. Banks called for their loans to be paid back by the young patrician or the estate would be seized. Seeing as the loans were going to be the death of him he promptly sold the entire estate to a long-time ally, a girl who he had eyes for since adolescence and her family. After selling the estate and having little money remaining he stayed in Dwindain for some time doing petty crime and loan sharking with his trusted friend and former head of the guard for his estate.

This petty crime would be cut after a somewhat successful year when one of the debtors refused to pay his loan and was established in a rival house. Before formulating their plan to leave they approached the few who owed them favors and were supplied with what they needed for the journey. Lyle and his retainers begrudgingly departed their homeland to the First Province, setting his greedy eyes upon a land ripe of opportunity.

Briefly write an in-character response to the following scenario:
Upon arriving to the Rumbling Pass he and his retainers were greeted with an irritatingly long line for so early in the morning.

“Unbelievable” he scoffed. Lyle motions to his companion to come with him walking past people who must have been in the line for hours in a pompous demeanor strutting and looking at all of them in disgust. He skips to the fifth spot of the line and awaits his turn.

Finally the time has come to enter. “Next!” the guardsman shouts with a lazy groan. Lyle marches forward to the man and cocks his head to the right after some moments of awkward silence.

“Well? Are you going to greet me or what?” he says arrogantly.

The guard looks at him and rests his head in his hand with an amused smirk.

“Passport.” he says motioning his hand.

“You peasants are oh-so similar, believing you have some authority or something. Bahahaha.” He laughs annoyingly before clearing his throat and reaffirming his dirty clothing, presenting the guard with an official and stamped passport in pristine condition.

“Everything is in order, go on, hurry up, I do not have all day you know.” he motions to be quick before taking a counterpoise pose awaiting the guards response.

"You have as long as it damn well takes." The guard looks it over and hands it back, making sure a little dirt gets on it, leaving a nice round shape of this thumb impression. "Consider it your welcoming present your grace..."

Approved!
