Do you have any prior experience with Requiem? If so, please detail when (and what characters, if desired) you previously played:

No.

Briefly summarize your prior role-playing experience in a sentence or two:
Why do you wish to play on Requiem, and what do you expect from the shard?


I'm roleplaying in UO/Neverwinter Nights and pen and paper games for long time, love it. I like various concepts - good, evil, neutral. Really depends what I'm into at certian moment ;]

Well, I read that Requiem is a hardcore RP, which is what I am looking forward into. I would expect fun - so basically both PVE and PVP, all embroided with RP^^

What will your character’s name be?:

Rilgor

Please briefly describe the physical attributes of your character, including age, looks, height, weight and any notable features:

Rilgor is a tall (1,95meters) man. He is about 75 kilograms. He has long messy dark brown hair and dark brown eyes. He ha some warts, one on his face, close to his nose on the left side and one visible on his right hand. He is around 40 years old. His muscular and looks to be agile as well.


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

Rilgor was an outcast always, living in swamps and mountains, he wanted to become one with nature. He was pretty close to achieving his goal but something happened and Rilgor felt that the bond is broken. From rumors he heard that First Province had a sage that was known for being powerful nature ally. That didn't require him to think about it. He was an outcast, a hermit, he had nothing to lose. Led by promise of becoming one with nature, he went on his journey.


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):


Rilgor even thou raised in normal family within protected walls of his house, never understood the religion around him and what motivated people. He understood that this is far from natural order and one day just heeded to nature's call. As a 14 years old boy he wentured to the woods and guided by spirits and animals he started to live and train there, hiding from others and communicating with people only in absolute need.


Briefly write an in-character response to the following scenario:


You have finally arrived at your destination; the Rumbling Pass train-yards. Before you stands a massive outpost, looking to have been erected within the past few years, of which is patrolled by numerous Legionnaires and Church Templar. The outpost guards the only viable entrance to the recently quarantined First Province; the home of Tor, the fallen capital of the Republic. Sitting at the foot of the massive mountain range that effectively contains the First Province within, the outpost serves as the last obstacle you must overcome before entering the quarantined territory.
You and others like you assemble outside of the palisades of the outpost, awaiting the opportunity to speak your case to the presiding Legion officiant who is processing admittance to the Province. Behind him, a passenger train, a marvel of technological advancement, sits idling on its’ tracks, dozens of persons filling it’s numerous passenger cars. A true rarity within the Republic, you can hardly believe your eyes (and ears) as the locomotive releases a massive plume of steam from its’ smokestack. You overhear many a bewildered citizen around you gossip as to how the only truly safe way into the Province is now by rail, for the Rumbling Pass’ mountains are nigh impassible and miles long, with the only safe navigable tunnels being those traveled in the safety of locomotives and rail-cars. You shudder for a moment, pondering how many forsaken souls attempted to flee the cloistered Province through the Pass’ winding, dark tunnels, hordes of Afflicted upon their heels, only to be cut down in the pitch-black darkness.
It strikes you as peculiar that so much effort has been made in securing a means of logistical supply and personnel transportation into the fallen First Province. You’ve heard rumors before of Quarantine Zones; entire Municipalities and even Territories being cut-off from access due to the blight of the Torment and the over-abundance of the walking dead – but in most instances, no one is ever trying to get into to those forsaken places. Yet here, mere miles from the ruins of Tor, masses congregate in order to make their way into the First Province Quarantine Zone. If you hadn’t known any better, the entire scene – the Outpost, the mass of military personnel, the throngs of citizens and the hissing locomotive – resembles more of an evacuation rather than a one-way ticket into anarchy and lawlessness. As you make your way closer to the train-yard outpost, you can’t help but recall all of the wild and crazy stories concerning all manners of rumors about the First Province since it’s fall two years ago. Some say that the treasures awaiting the bold are beyond measure – others swear that Salvation and Ascension is guaranteed for those who would follow their Faith and help reclaim the First Coast.
Where the truth lies, you’ve no idea – you only know that you’re here, at the precipice of it all, and your destination is within reach.
You watch, somewhat defeated, as but a scant few of the hundreds that approach the outpost officiant, who stands at the outer gates of the outpost flanked by a few heavily armored Legionnaires, are actually allowed to pass through the man-door and into the outpost and train-yards proper. You see some swarthy fellows slip pieces of gold to the officiant, while others plead their cases and rationale as to why they should be allowed to enter the recently fallen territory. Some appear to provide some sort of paperwork to the officiant, flashing official looking papers from a Faction or influential Prelacy house, who promptly waves them through. While watching and eavesdropping, you manage to overhear the well-rehearsed speech the officiant provides to those whom don’t provide paperwork or grease his palm, the words monotone and nasally.
“By decree of the Venerated Church, the First Province is a mortal health hazard, and as such, is quarantined under Article Eighteen of the Republic Treatise of Health Act of 1320. Citizens who do not possess a Quarantine Visa issued by one of the recognized Factions of the Republic are considered non-essential to the reclamation of the First Province. Under Article Eighteen, non-essentials seeking entry into an official quarantine zone must petition for entry into a said zone, and state just cause for the issuing of a Quarantine Visa by the perimeter authority.”
The officiant snorts in disdain, then adds the last line to the rehearsed monologue:
“State your business and make it quick, citizen; we’ve enough bodies in there to keep us busy for years without adding yours to the pile, and those VIC are stirring up problems something fierce as of late.”
You ponder the situation for a moment, evaluating your options. It is well known that with the right connections and the right amount of coin, one can get their hands on a Quarantine Visa from any one of the major Factions or Prelacy Families of the Republic, or even a passable counterfeit from more nefarious sources. At the same time, it would appear that the officiant doesn’t appear to be above some simple bribery – although his price may be hefty. However, despite it all, you’re sure that some of those let in appeared to have made a convincing case with the officiant without resorting to subterfuge or immorality. Gathering your wits, you step forward towards the officiant, and make your decision as to how to gain access to the First Province.

*Rilgor overheard and gathered informations from people and officials talking. Gossips and everything he could notice. He was calm and slowly moving in the queue, but as a matter of fact he was gathering intel. His wild side was struggling to work and mingle with these men, however his inner survivalist won and he started to calculate what he can to survive. Afterall, reclamining his bond was all he wanted. Without it, he was dead.
When his time was close, he paid very close attention to the final talk before him and when he came to face the official, he winked few times thinking about the situation before he tried to finally adapt and speak to officiant*
- I'm Jiro. I came here all the way to help in reclaimation. I'm a tracker, survivalist, animal handler. No woods, swamps nor mountains will get me lost. I can lead people, scout for danger and warn others and spot patterns and abnormalities in surroundings. Medicine is also something I'm familiar with. If you want someone who can help reduce losses in men and is there to act, not watch, let me help. - With deadly cold gaze and stone face he waited for the reply
