How did you hear about us?:
I was Google searching for a Minecraft roleplay server, came across this one.
What made you want to join us?:
The other servers I found were either too big, too lore-heavy or too strict. This one seems to have what I'm looking for.
What is Roleplaying?:
It is taking the role of a character, adopting their personality and background and acting as they would, rather than how you would.
What is Metagaming?:
A common mistake for new-comers in RP where they take OOC information, something their character shouldn't know about, and use it within the RP (such as referring to a character as their name without being introduced to them first).
What is Powergaming?:
Forcing actions or experiences on other players, or deliberately avoiding the consequences of your own actions in a non-realistic way.

Name:
Sylvester Brione
Age:
26
Gender:
Male
Origin: Averésia
Biography: Sylvester was raised by his single father, who had unintentionally impregnated a young woman. Together, they agreed that Sylvester's father, Earnwulf, would raise the child on his own to preserve the mother's familial honor. Because of this, Sylvester never knew who his mother was, but since his father had raised him well and given him the best he possibly could, his curiosity for finding out who his mother is remains low on his priorities. He has other things to worry about.
Sylvester was an unfortunate citizen of Averésia, and lived in poverty in a small village in the far outskirts of the main city that had been formed from poor people trying to make a better life for themselves. He grew up with mild despise for the nobles of Averésia and their greed and lack of care for the less fortunate. His father was a pharmacist, and growing up Sylvester had learned the trade from his father, from using a mix of herbology and potions to help heal people of their diseases. However, unbeknownst to the settlers of this small village, they had built their homes on top of a rare, dormant fungal disease. The disturbance caused airborne spores to be released, and those infected would experience extreme pain as fungus sprouted within their lungs, spreading its roots throughout their body and eating them from the inside out. Sylvester and his father, donned with protective masks, did their best to try and heal the infected while the rest of the unaffected villagers fled. Sylvester was only 15 at the time, and he was forced to watch and experience the people he had grown up with dying in agonising ways. The cure for the disease was never found, and instead seemed to die out as the last of the infected died and everyone had abandoned the village. Sylvester and Earnwulf traveled to the main city of Averésia to try and build a new life.
Things did not go smoothly for them, and they struggled to get by, often with barely enough food to live. Sylvester worked at a range of small jobs, such as cleaning stores, stocking library books, working part-time in taverns and the like to try and earn enough money to eat. Eventually, upon reaching the age of 20, Earnwulf fell ill, and Sylvester worked extra hard to try and feed his father. He died not long after, and Sylvester found himself alone and with no family. With nothing to lose, to headed to Heonia to try and make a better life for himself.
Your character's physical appearance:
Sylvester has dark skin with greyish, mid-length wavy hair. His eyes are pale blue. His body type is fairly small and frail, he is only 5'3 and shows little muscle. Being somewhat underweight, his ribcage and various other bones are visible under his skin. His face has sharp, angular features. However, he constantly wears an outfit similar to that of a plague doctor, which keeps his face hidden. He is willingly to reveal his face to people if they ask, but will not keep his mask off for long.

Your character's strengths:
- He is friendly and kind, and he desires to help people. He has seen enough suffering in his lifetime.
- He is also intelligent. He enjoys reading books, and he knows how to handle himself in stressful situations.
- Growing up poor has made Sylvester humble and aware of other people's problems. He is a good listener.
- He has various random skills which he picked up from working at a wide range of jobs, although they are not well-developed. Most of his experience is in potion-making and healing techniques.
- He is quite paranoid and experiences anxiety, especially towards people with higher status.
- He is physically weak. He has not experienced much manual labour.
- He has mild depression, and is sometimes unmotivated to do anything. What's the point in trying so hard to better your own life when, in the end, nothing good lasts?
- He has extreme mysophobia (fear of germs/contamination), which is somewhat alleviated by constantly wearing his mask. This has perhaps come from experiencing everyone he knows and loves die from disease.
