A few sentences on how you plan to make the server more fun to play on for everyone, through your characters actions/story.

A snobby hybrid of elf and man, he absolutely believes that he is the epitome of elegance, grace and brilliance.
He follows a twisted Malarite heresy where the poor and the destitute must be hunted like game and removed, as they tarnish everything beautiful about the world. They steal from the rich and mess up expensive shoes by shitting and vomiting in the street.
He believes above all that nobility should rule, absolutely and final. His grand plan is to remove the Queen from her position, and see his own family ascend to the top of the tree, even if it’s on fire and covered in blood.
Will latch on to Delzuld or Braerwinter and attempt to form a “noble council” of sorts (Gentleman’s Guild), sew some anti-monarchy sentiment and try to “catch the eye” of a Fire Knife NPC. Nothing will be off the table with regards to claiming power!

If you're not applying on your normal log-in or handle, what accounts have you played under?

Brief background as relevant to the application.

From a minor noble house in the Hullack region that was thrown out during the rebellion, with grand plans to see it rise to prominence. He will use a double bladed sword and be very swashbuckling. He will not be a ranger.

Happy for feedback / suggested adjustments!

So this post is a little bit confusing so I'll summarize how I understand it.

Ceak wants to play a minor noble whose house fell out of favor after the rebellion. They'll follow their view of Malar's dogma which means that the poor/non-nobles should be hunted down if they don't bow to nobility.

Their ultimate goal is to dethrone the Queen and insert their own household as the new ruler. I presume this will translate into trying to make their own house more prominent for the most part.

To jumpstart that they'll latch onto whichever noble house faction will suit them best.

The part about the Fire Knives seems to be a bid for NPC sponsorship from an assassins guild. I don't know what they're expecting from this, but it's EIG I guess so that's fine?

To get attention they want to start a semi-secret ''gentleman club'' with anti-queen sentiments to promote themselves over the more established nobles.

The actual on-creation application distills down to ''Minor Nobility.''

Which they'd need for any of their motivations to make sense and have at least a little bit of sway.

before I'd even consider it, it needs a writeup of the house like is found in these places

On top of this, it sounds like another fast track to his character being alienated and caek losing interest.

Asked him to put together a Noble blurb per the examples above.

This kind of a concept is not a burn bright burn fast concept, and might take several months to see any traction. Is Caek capable of playing such a long game?

I think the longest character he's played in over a decade may have been about a month long.

did he do this yet?

Hangman

No, I’ve nudged him a few times, will see what he’s doing with this. My instinct is he’s gone off the idea.

Hangman

Think we can pull this, he said he hasn’t given it anymore thought.
