This is the sign-up thread for the Eyes of the Emperor. Signups will be close by Sunday 25th of June or when 4-6 characters have been accepted, whichever comes first.
For information about this RP, see the lorebook. The lorebook also contains a listing of rules that apply when joining this RP. Please pay special attention to the posting rules.
Please use the template below for your character. You are strongly recommended to play as an Ashir since this RP will focus on them. However, if you so desire, you may also play as a human (magister) from Velora or elsewhere. If you do so, you will need to have a reason to be in Velora at the start of the RP, you may DM me to help you with this.
As per the lorebook, the world of this RP is dominated by humans. While there are some other races present, they are so rare that they may never be encountered over the course of this RP. For that reason, only humans and Ashir are playable races.
Because I strongly encourage player characters to have connections between each other, you may edit your character sheet after you've been accepted to reflect this.

Name: Please provide a first and last name for your character here. You are free to pick any first name you like. When playing as an Ashir, the surname must be based on a species of tree as per the lore (see Ashir->Names). You can easily look up what kind of associations certain species of tree commonly have and use that as a guide for your character.
Age: Please select an age between 10 and 80. When choosing to play as an old Ashir you may assume your character is more knowledgeable, however you are also likely to be more physically frail. Conversely if you opt to play a child or teen character your character will know and be capable of less than adult characters, but may have an advantage at select points in the story in terms of nimbleness, stealth or persuasion.
Magic: for a child/teen character, pick 1 magic. For an adult character, pick up to 2 magics. For an elder (50+) character, pick up to 3 magics. Please be aware that the number of magics doesn't have to determine how "good" your character is at magic. Your character can be a prodigal child or famed legendary Ashir if you want them to be, or they can have tried their hand at various magics and be meddling at them.
Gender: Please pick your character's (apparent) gender. Must be: "male", "female" or "androgynous". While you may create a character who does not identify as male or female, you must make clear what they look like to others using on of the three options provided here. Please see the rules for more information.
Strengths/weaknesses: Here you should list both personality strengths/weaknesses as well as give an indications what things your character excells or sucks at. If your character is physically strong, good with magic, highly persuasive, or a terrible liar, this is where you should mention it.
Appearance: please give a description of your character's appearance. Try to answer the question what another person meeting your character for the first time might notice about them. Do not solely rely on an image for your character's appearance. (1-4 paragraphs).
For an appearance image, please use one of the following: realistic (digital) art, setting appropriate photo (can be from a movie or show), AI generated portrait (can be photoreal or painterly). Please refrain from using anime, manga, cartoonish, or childishly drawn art.
Personality: please give a brief description of your character's personality. (1-4 paragraphs)
Guide: provide some information about your character's Guide. Does not have to be in-depth. Another player can be your character's Guide if you desire and both writers consent to this being the case. If your character is old and your character's guide is deceased, you may skip this entry. If you have a young character whose Guide has prematurely deceased, you would have been assigned a new guide and should provide some information about that new Guide here.
History: Optional. While you are encouraged to offer a little insight into your character's history, you are not obligated to flesh out their background completely and may choose to let their background emerge organically during the RP. You should put something here, but it doesn't have to be extensive. Just be aware that if you do not provide much of a history, you should not pull any crazy, unexpected twists without discussing with yours truly, the GM, first :)
