Hi there!
Thanks for submitting your Character sheet for the Principle Journey RP.
I will go over your submission and if there is any comments or questions you will be able to find them inside the QUOTE
as BLUE and BOLD text.

Spoiler

What do you expect from RP's?:
I expect some level of competence in writing, but that does not mean that I expect other people to be a super genius. I want completed thoughts. I also want some level of creative freedom too, allowing me and anyone else to improvise *something*. I am not saying to allow anything, there are some things that should not be rp'ed using this idea as a crutch. Just some sort of creative commons.
Is the answer to the above question your expectation of this RP? Please Explain: Simply put, yes. Let's have fun with it though. I am willing to conform to a type of rp.
What kind of Experience do you have in Roleplaying?: Many years. I've always preferred 1v1 rp's, but am willing to put in for a group rp too.
What genres of Roleplay do you like? : Fantasy and Sci-fi. Heavy escapism.
What times are you available? : I am pretty open all day right now, Corona and all. Being stuck inside all day has perks.
How long on average are you on? : I don't know right now. I just rejoined recently.
How many posts a week do you think you can make? : Good question... many?
Are you willing to contribute in World building? Please Explain : I am very willing to contribute. I love to improvise that sort of thing. I love world-building in general.
Would you be willing to play a role already setup? : Definitely.
Would you be willing to play an Antagonist? : Hehe... yes. I love playing the bad guy. I am a firm believer that a true antagonist is not evil for evil's sake, and I put a lot of effort into giving my villains a reason for their delusions.
Would you be willing to GM certain events? : That's fine, I have some experience GM'ing rp events. However, those were only done without a combat system. If we are implementing a combat system, I think I will need more time.
Would you like to participate in character points system? : I suppose. I don't have experience in stats systems in rp's (or at least ones that matter).
Would you to battle with the RP battle system or no?: That's fine, I don't have experience with combat systems in rp's though.

Biography

Birth Place: (Locations provided soon.)
Date of Birth: 977 CYAD
Nationality: NORTHERNER
Personality: A hard worker that wants more out of life. Has a strong belief that the world has a hidden voice that only those who get close to nature can listen to.
2 Positive Traits: Hard worker, survivalist
2 Negative Traits: Uncultured, close-minded
Weaknesses: He tries to do things he knows nothing about, often taking a hands-on approach in an effort to learn, however, this can backfire in situations where a professional is needed. He doesn't like to admit he can't do something.
History: Growing up in a poor farming community, Dodere quickly learned what it meant to be wanted: if you can't do it, get out of the way so someone else can. Not being useful at something was almost a sin itself. At a young age, he would talk to flowers, saying that he would have conversations with them, and understood what they wanted. This quality was quickly beaten out of him, even though he still claims to hear the flowers speak.
After growing into a powerful young man, Dodere realized that he wanted to do more than farm his whole life. He needed to take his talents elsewhere. He needed to learn the struggles of others and to help them.
Occupation: Wandering help-hand
Life Skills: Farming, hard work, wood-chopping, basic cooking, insect control, pest control, digging, well-digging.
Talks to flowers, not that helpful.
Material Possessions:
A farming scythe, a bag of basic necessities including a water moccasin and a few rations. He has a necklace from his grandmother, and a hand-held sieve from his father. He has some twine and the clothes on his back. A sewing needle.
Clothing and Attire:
Basic cloth and leather. Thin cloth vest, long cloth pants, and heavy leather boots. The vest is a maroonish color and has decorative buttons made from bone. The pants are a dark green color, also with a single functioning bone button. The leather boots are basic.
Personal Items:
A necklace and a sieve. The sieve is unused because Dodere doesn't know how to use it, but plans to use it at some point.
Combat Section (Optional for those who wish to combat using the game system.)

Character Class: The Character Class Helps to determine the affinity your character has to certain Elements. It also shows what the Types of artes you can use.These Classes are purely for OoC purposes and have no meaning in the IC. You may choose to have your character behave or act like your class is described. The Character Class' are as follows, Please choose one and delete the rest: Combateer.


Combateer:
Description: Combateers concentrate on close range combat, and are masters of attack and defense. They are self reliant always having others depend on them rather than vice versa. While they excel both in group and single combat, when engaging large numbers it may take some time to deal with all opponents.
Elements Affinity: Fire / Earth / Ice / Steel
Types of Artes: ATK / DEF / EHM / SPT
Base Stats: HP: 6 / SE: 15 / CCA: 3 /




Special Ability: An ability that can be used outside of combat and is another facet of defining your character.
Whispers on the Wind: Given some time to talk to the flowers, Dodere can learn one rumor about the surrounding area. This requires Dodere to be relaxed, not in combat, and alone for an hour. Probably a two-day cooldown.

@ me if more information is needed.

That was pretty easy to approve. I like your approach to making characters.
The combat section can be filled out as we go so no need to worry about that for now.
With regards to your comments on creative freedom. Here's how I usually go about GMing RPs.

I usually create the Main storyline
Subplots I work with different players because I mostly use them to help their character grow.
Anything regarding their character is theirs to control without a doubt.

For sure. If you want you can acquaint yourself with the RPs Lore. You can probably flesh out some of your characters specifics.

Biography

Birth Place: Locations provided soon.
LINK is up ^^
Date of Birth: 967
Nationality: NORTHERNER
Personality: A jolly fellow, if his banter and jokes come off abit hollow. He gives off airs of giving to much care when it comes to bigger and heavier topics, he gives them the respect they require of course but he never seems to show off a great deal of attachment to anything going on. He is rather frugal with his money and always seems to have a stockpile of food and sweets around in his usual little hiding places. Always seems to be either smoking or chewing on something, despite, so he says, the insistence he stop from old friends.

He is a master at making fufilling meals from the worst of ingredients. Keep in mind, fufilling is not always tasty, nor dose it always look good. But it fills, and more importantly stays in, the belly. To him, food is everything. Tied with his boundless patience, he is well capable of outlasting most if not all things.
2 Positive Traits:
Very resilient
Cunning and relentless of a caged tiger.
2 Negative Traits:
Often comes off brazen and patronizing.
Quick to anger against those claiming superiority.
Weaknesses:
His own mental well being.
Dogs.
History: As a young man, this boy had nothing to his name save his body and faithful companion. A dog named Hussel, a friend he found also living on the streets as he did, they kept each other warm, despite having no fire, they kept each other happy, despite having no family, they were as close as one can be. But war, war has it's way of calling people to fight it. And being a strong young man, he was but one of the countless who signed up for that meager promise of filthy lucre and food. And oh did they eat, he of course shared his ration with Hussel, who was more than happy to have new friends and food.

Life was good for awhile, Octavian and Hussel showed to be a good enough pair in fighting to not separate, Hussel even showed promise during fights as Octavian preferred the longspear. the work was also rather lucrative, as the two were favorites to send out as scouts or for simple skirmishes. Though, this sadly came to an end as it usually did, the mercenary company got a job to hold a keep until a proper force can come to relieve them from their position. This information, that a smaller force was in the keep, did not go un-noted by the enemy in question.

This topic however is one that Octavian dose not wish to dwell on to much, to put it simply, the keep was indeed held, but with only one surviving man was found when the forces came to join the effort. not a single enemy troop entered the gates for long, and even allies returning to help found the keep had been turned into a death trap of confounding proportions. traps utilizing dead enemy and allies weaponry, broken or not, stones from the wall broken free for deadly falling objects, heads of dead men littered on stakes to dissuade any attackers.

More than a few done up in a blood eagle.

The smell was that of a corpse pit, and standing atop of a flight of stairs, biting off the last bit of meat off his lost beloved best friend's leg bone was Octavian, glaring down upon the armored men with wild eyes and bloody clothes.

He was given the pay of the company as the last living member and immediately went into retirement. he laid low for many years, until the money ran out, and thus he returns to the only thing he truly knows now.
Occupation: Ex-Ex-Mercenary
Double negative??? lol
Life Skills:
Trap making, how to outlast a siege, how to fight against groups of enemies, hunting, fishing, suffering with addictions, how to forget, how to eat pretty much anything.
Material Possessions
Clothing and Attire:
Clothes as you see them above.
Extra pairs of underwear and socks.
Longspear
Personal Items:
Supply of smokes, supply of sweets, camping gear, violin hes trying to learn.
Smoking via pipe I assume. It seems more appropriate to the RP than a pack of wrapped tobacco haha
Combat Section (Optional for those who wish to combat using the game system.)

Combateer:
Description: Combateers concentrate on close range combat, and are masters of attack and defense. They are self reliant always having others depend on them rather than vice versa.

Elements Affinity: Fire / Earth / Ice / Steel
Types of Artes: ATK / DEF / EHM / SPT
Base Stats: HP: 6 / SE: 15 / CCA: 3 /

Special Ability: Resilience, to withstand against all that ails or stands against you. Reduces damage taken by one to a minimum of one. Can withstand the harshest life can give.
So for this Resilience ability are we able to make it more specific? For example, resilience to environmental conditions? Or from intake into the body, poisons, liquors, drugs.

Your turn friend!

With regards your inquiry about being an heir to the kingdoms.
Here is a brief summary and my recommendations.

The continent had 6 kingdows at one time. One large island kingdom was conquered and now is controlled by an elite Combat College.
The current war is the result of 1 antagonistic kingdom, Lanark. Lanark is shrouded in mystery so that is also out.
The remaining kingdoms all have their royal lines in tact unfortunately.

I recommend a character that is related to the higher nobility like Welwyn Kingdoms Honor Families who are the ones that run the kingdom.
Or a good back up is Adanaque Kingdoms Royal family, who's powers were passed on to Regents to expedite decisions. Those locations also help because there are colonies of elves near there.

All this is in the lore link under Organizations and Peoples. The first post. Please have a read.

The family once great and heroic losing fame and members by constant war to regain their throne (which may or may not be part of the 500 year war?

Biography

Birth Place: Locations provided soon.
Date of Birth: 967
Nationality: NORTHERNER
Personality: A jolly fellow, if his banter and jokes come off abit hollow. He gives off airs of giving to much care when it comes to bigger and heavier topics, he gives them the respect they require of course but he never seems to show off a great deal of attachment to anything going on. He is rather frugal with his money and always seems to have a stockpile of food and sweets around in his usual little hiding places. Always seems to be either smoking or chewing on something, despite, so he says, the insistence he stop from old friends.

He is a master at making fufilling meals from the worst of ingredients. Keep in mind, fufilling is not always tasty, nor dose it always look good. But it fills, and more importantly stays in, the belly. To him, food is everything. Tied with his boundless patience, he is well capable of outlasting most if not all things.
2 Positive Traits:
Very resilient
Cunning and relentless of a caged tiger.
2 Negative Traits:
Often comes off brazen and patronizing.
Quick to anger against those claiming superiority.
Weaknesses:
His own mental well being.
Dogs.
History: As a young man, this boy had nothing to his name save his body and faithful companion. A dog named Hussel, a friend he found also living on the streets as he did, they kept each other warm, despite having no fire, they kept each other happy, despite having no family, they were as close as one can be. But war, war has it's way of calling people to fight it. And being a strong young man, he was but one of the countless who signed up for that meager promise of filthy lucre and food. And oh did they eat, he of course shared his ration with Hussel, who was more than happy to have new friends and food.

Life was good for awhile, Octavian and Hussel showed to be a good enough pair in fighting to not separate, Hussel even showed promise during fights as Octavian preferred the longspear. the work was also rather lucrative, as the two were favorites to send out as scouts or for simple skirmishes. Though, this sadly came to an end as it usually did, the mercenary company got a job to hold a keep until a proper force can come to relieve them from their position. This information, that a smaller force was in the keep, did not go un-noted by the enemy in question.

This topic however is one that Octavian dose not wish to dwell on to much, to put it simply, the keep was indeed held, but with only one surviving man was found when the forces came to join the effort. not a single enemy troop entered the gates for long, and even allies returning to help found the keep had been turned into a death trap of confounding proportions. traps utilizing dead enemy and allies weaponry, broken or not, stones from the wall broken free for deadly falling objects, heads of dead men littered on stakes to dissuade any attackers.

More than a few done up in a blood eagle.

The smell was that of a corpse pit, and standing atop of a flight of stairs, biting off the last bit of meat off his lost beloved best friend's leg bone was Octavian, glaring down upon the armored men with wild eyes and bloody clothes.

He was given the pay of the company as the last living member and immediately went into retirement. he laid low for many years, until the money ran out, and thus he returns to the only thing he truly knows now.

I looked over Octavian's CS, and there are a couple of interesting things that caught my eye.

I find it very interesting that Octavian has tact, but it is almost like he has tact because he is expected to by others, and not because he cares himself. He understands the expectations that others set for him, but he can't bring himself to truly care. This leads me to believe that he tries to get on people's good side, and he doesn't want to fall behind, and yet the siege seems to have changed what he has viewed as important. It's no longer about politics, it's about survival. He simply uses the mask of caring to hide that he doesn't think that politics matter anymore. Perhaps during the siege, the line between enemy and ally blurred beyond recognition: the banners mean nothing anymore, everyone and anyone could be a threat to Octavian's health. I wonder if Octavian has trouble telling who is truly on his side?

He didn't seem to catch the skill of food making and eating before the war. Also, the fact that he has the skill of stomaching anything, and making good food out of any bad material leads me to believe that the siege has a little bit more than what was stated. Although I find it hard to believe that one man ate through a small army's rations, it does imply that he eventually had to eat some "unsavory" meals. I won't say much further, but maybe this had a massive impact on his mental health.
(Reread the cs after writing this small section, turns out it's not a theory, it's confirmed that he resorted to cannibalism. My bad. Still interesting the effect this might have had on him.)

Arte Level 1 has a description but no name. Was that intentional?

 

[Orikanyo]

Ah bugger gotta fix that arte thing, but good on yea for the examination!

 

[Orikanyo]

Oh, but it wasn't canibalism, it was his good ol doggo.

Though was tempted to go that way with the story.

great i was sure i would have to change something. I wonder how far i can take Phera's living elven family since elves live for so long, like would a direct ancestor be possible, like great great grand parent. Not sure how much is going to play in the story just fun to think about.

lol in all honesty I was going to make some changes, but I decided to let things slide cause any retconning I would need to do seemed to create a good story.

It is very possible there is a living relative.

 

[ThatGuyWithSouvlaki]

... cause any retconning I would need to do seemed to create a good story.

Eh? Not clear what you mean there.

In any case, i am open to change things if something is particularly nagging.

Sometimes I find the creative input of players so good that I'm willing to retcon existing lore.
