This application is... Pending!Again, I don't see the Pact War not coming up! The update with the bowyering also doesn't make sense really; At 44 years old, she would have been 14 when people would have come to her door and knocked on about acquiring bows, telling her about the Pact War. As a child, and especially one out from the cities, she would have been exposed to it. Even in the city of Barkamsted war was all around them, but in the wilds Orcs and Goblins pillaged and razed villages, harmed and killed people. So I don't imagine she'd have been able to stay innocent from it all, even as a child.Please adjust this! If you need help including the Pact War in your character's backstory please don't hesitate to DM me.
Thank you for adding details! Whilst giving additional context as to how she and her family coped through events has helped, I am still not convinced that, living out in the wilds in a cottage, your character would not have heard about the Pact War even a little. Like I said they would have heard about it since it was everywhere! The war was an all-encompassing thing, the danger was everywhere and Barkamsted was man's last bastion of hope. It's possible they could have tried to keep her sheltered, but danger was all around especially if she was living close to Falkvard and especially as someone who is apparently an apprentice bowyer as well. I just don't see it not coming up in conversation, or on one of her outings, or her parents talking about it within the confines of their cottage.Please fix this and get back to me!
This application is... Denied!Hi Umber! For now the application is denied, but there are some bigger and easier steps to work toward making this approvable! For starters, the biggest thing is the Pact War which seems to not even be mentioned in your character's biography save for vagueness at the beginning. Whilst it is fine to have a character's parents be very sheltering and protective of their child, it is likely they still would have heard about the war, dealt with the year-long winter, experienced the Plagues, so on and so forth. War would have been going on around them pretty often. These historical events are big details about the world and I urge you to write about them in your character's backstory.She's also 44 and, even if her parents protected her from the war, they would have experienced it themselves. How did they protect her, other than keeping it quiet? Where was this cottage they lived in? What did they do to earn money and keep the house sustained during the war where going out was even more of a danger than it is now? I'd expand on this where you can too.Finally just a wee note but Dwarves aren't really 'dainty' creatures; they're stocky, stout, and not really all that flexible just as a note!Send me a message when you've updated!
