| Sebastian - L Name: Sebastian
Age: 30
Race: Human
Subrace: None
Class: Druid
Deity: Katia
Alignment: TN
A crazed fanatic or a fiend many would call Sebastian. That is with a good reason. Sebastian's methods of serving nature and Katia are most horrifing. The ones who oppose nature or cross Sebastian find themselves beging for death. Sebastian mastered torturing techniques and mercy is something he does not believe in. Terrible deeds such as sloughter can be done by Sebastian if its servers nature. He often performs "evil" acts if they serve his own benefit. | | |

| RE: Sebastian It sounds like from the bio your character is really CE than TN, please make modification accordingly. Also, please include some info about how he became a druid and how has being a druid affected his life. Another thing to include is his personality. | | |

| RE: Sebastian Name: Sebastian
Age: 30
Race: Human
Subrace: None
Class: Druid
Deity: Katia
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Sebastian became a druid after a tragic event in his past, an event which he regrets. He was sucked in to a criminal organisaton. Sebastian and his "friends" terrorised his small, insignificant village. After several murders and other acts against the law, the village people finally stood up to this gang. Villigers wanted to punish the criminals and so a battle took place. In this fight half of the village was burned and countless of people have been killed. In horror Sebastian realized that his whole familiy was killed and his father was made an example of. He could not live in such world with his guilt any longer and so he went in to the woods. During his time in the forest he became one with nature. His perpective has chained and he gained peace of mind. He is ever grateful for this to the purest of nature and Katia.
Sebastian wanted to give his thanks to Katia and nature in the way of protection. Unlike many other rangers and druids, Sebastian understands that fear is the key in wining. He uses anything which would benefit nature. If a situation requires "good" to be done, then Sebastian will perform such an action.
Sebastian follows the law. It is supreme. He obeys Katia without a word. This often leads in performing duties which few men are capable of doing, because of their "evil" nature. Yet he is not a simple brute who creates mindless havoc for pleasure. Every act, may it be evil of good, must be for a reason. | | |

He uses anything which would benefit nature. Let it be merciless torture or allying himself with fiends. He has earned a reputation of quite a demonical being, capable of performing most vilest of acts.

Please read through the section on alignments and choose one you would like then tailor your bio to fit those guidelines. | | |

| RE: Sebastian Every action, be it good or evil, must have a reason for Sebastian. He does not go about helping or harming people if there is no porpuse in it. A reason for an act is given when it is nature demands it.
//I clearly wrote before and now that Sebastian is neutral in judgement and follows Katia without a word. He simply does what is needed to be done. | | |

| RE: Sebastian if that is the case than things like this Quote:

| RE: Sebastian - L We still don't feel like your alignment is fitting with the character you wish to use here. The best alignment I could imagine you could "get away" with is TN, but dealing with fiends and torture still sways very much to the scale of evil. Are you sure you've read all the alignments and understand them to the best of your abilities? If this is the case, and this is the kind of Druid you want then I'm going to leave this submission up to Leanthar to chime in on.

LN does not meet with that, not in the least. Torture is not Lawful and allying with fiends is not neutral. | | |

| RE: Sebastian - L Eneugh! Do you actually believe that the correcting on everybodies bios will make a change you wish to achieve? People will improve their submissions only because you demand it. By these demands you are implying that their playing style is not fit for your server. They will change their bios, but will they keep modificating their gaming style whenever you think it is not correct? It is an impossible requirement. If the bios are still wrong after many improvements then their roleplaying simply cant be what you are looking for, its simply far more than any bio. Why not just bann them then?
I believe many came here with expierience in RP and you still denie them acces. In fact i have played here before and i did not recieve any complains. Back in my layo days there were no problems concerning bios and i didnt encounter any serious errors in roleplaying form anybody. | | |

| RE: Sebastian - L *shrugs* That is your opinion and you have the right to think/feel that way. It is our requirment that you need to get your character approved. And about 2000+ other characters have been approved so it is not "impossible". Make the changes if you want this character approved. | | |

| RE: Sebastian - L I think you simply want your community the way it was. I remember very well the elitism. Those 2000+ may have been approved in the past. Looking at the submissions of today, i can say that much has changed. The last approval was on the 11th.
How may i change my own character? For my information you cant choose evil. By going the avarage lawful good druid i will be nothing but a clone and a live stereoptype. | | |

| RE: Sebastian - L I am not asking you to be LG *looks up* nope, never even suggested it or mentioned anywhere. I am asking you to change that one little, tiny, sentence that does not make you LN. Seems pretty simple to me.Â
The last approval was not on the 11th, that is the last one that is in that forum...look under "Recent Approvals"--there are 7 approved so far today alone and 20+ from yesterday and that is just on the first page. That forum was set up only a few days ago and already 91 approvals....hmmmm | | |

| How can you profess to understand why we do things the way we do them? Have you administered this server for 3 years? Have you seen thousands of characters come and go? Do you know of the ones who cause lack of enjoyment for the other players? Do you know how we deal with issues of precedents? Our philosophy is simple:
Spend two months here so we can determine if you're capable of playing CN. More time for an evil character. We ask to see you RP for 2 months so we know you can play the role without causing grief to other player's enjoyment.

| RE: Sebastian - L Approved.
The server IP is 64.127.106.68 and Layonara can be found under Roleplay on Gamespy.
Now.... On to your last statement of "don't take me wrong...you have done wonders"... etc.
Well posting that I want things the old way, calling us eltists and showing elitism, and then saying enough already and ranting... Well--I did and do take that "wrong". If you don't want us to take it wrong then don't type/say it. Simple request. | | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
