Title: Application for ARPer
Lothlómendil - June 17, 2005 03:53 PM (GMT)
To qualify for acceptance as an ARPer, you must:- Have good grammar.
- Use correct spelling.
- Use proper punctuation and capitalization.
- Meet a minimum length of at least 300 words with your average being higher than 300.
- Use good description and creativity.
Pre-requisites for Applying- You must have been an active member for at least 2 weeks.
- Must exhibit a good knowledge of the rules of Arda (i.e. rule-breakers may not be granted ARPer status, especially if you have broken the word limit rule before).
Applying- You may apply once every two weeks.
- Provide at least 4 links to different Arda topics in which you have posted.
- Your application should reflect your average skill, not just the 4 longest posts you've ever made. The topics you provide may have long, well-written posts, but if most of your other topics are short and not spell-checked, you will not earn ARP.
- Only post links to your topics, not quotes.
Any applications that do not meet the above guidelines will be trashed and you will not be able to apply for an additional 2 weeks.
I will check the applications and links provided when I find the time. You are not to PM members of the staff about your applications or ask about them in the CBox. All messages of this nature will be ignored. If you are granted ARPer status, you will be able to tell by checking your member group in your profile after I post the reply "Application reviews have been completed and all applicants are now either accepted or denied." It will either be your member group or in your member title.
If you are not accepted, as it says above, please do not PM the staff to ask why. Along with reading the information below, if you really want more feedback on your writing then you should post a topic in the writing reviews forum so that your peers can help you.
Good luck with your applications!
Some of the specific things I look for when reviewing applications:
[doHTML]<ul><li>Length. On average, your RP posts should have some decent content. Not all, but the majority of your posts should reach 300+ words, which is the ARPer minimum word limit. You should have a decent amount that are more than that, because posting just the minimum all the time isn't desirable.
<li>Spelling. In addition to correctly spelling most words (only very minimal amounts of typos and misspellings, no net-speak or other abbreviations), some more specific things include:
<ul><li>using the correct form of the words "their", "there" and "they're"
<li>knowing to change words that end in "y" to "ie" at the end when making them plural (example: supply --> supplies).
<li>knowing when to drop the "e" off of the end of certain words before adding "ing" (example: smile --> smiling).
<li>correct use of capital letters</ul>
<li>Perspective. RP posts should always be in the third person. First person perspective (using the word "I" when describing your character) is very unsightly.
<li>Correct use of apostrophes. No apostrophes used when simply making a word plural (common mistake), only used when making things possessive (example: my mother's house = correct) and any other correct uses such as contractions (example: do not --> don't).
<li>Other Punctuation. Good use of commas and periods. Run on sentences or posts that don't even have commas or periods are disqualifiers.
<li>Creativity. If your character is one that simply walks around all day only mass-killing things, that is not very creative. More depth into your character's behavior and thoughts is appreciated. Also, the amount of detail you use when describing things, and generally following the posting guide provided in the RP Tips topic.
<ul><li>Another important part of creativity is how you play out any battle scenes. This is a LARGE factor when your application is reviewed. If all you say is "He stabbed the man and killed five others in less than a minute," you are not going to be accepted.
<li>Any god-moding, power-playing, and anything else against the rules I see will also disqualify you.</ul>
<li>Your OOC posts are also a factor! Not everything is factored into this, and it is a minor aspect of the review, but only being able to spell right and use correct grammar when using a spell-checker is not good enough.</ul>[/doHTML] Sharzela - July 14, 2005 09:04 PM (GMT)
This is of course an application to become an Advanced Role-Player. Here are the links;
http://s4.invisionfree.com/Arda/index.php?...t=0#entry705426This was my first RP EVER; I have never RPed before. I have heard a bit about it from a good friend, but they where more casual about it.
http://s4.invisionfree.com/Arda/index.php?...topic=931&st=15Sadly I didn’t realise that this was a sort-of private RPing…
http://s4.invisionfree.com/Arda/index.php?...t=0#entry759932This is my most recent RP and contains my longest posts.
If I don’t get ARPer status, even if I do, I would love some constructive criticism and suggestions. I have always enjoyed creative writhing and it was great to find a place like this, please feel free to say whatever you wish.
(I also nearly always use spell check, since my spelling is atrocious, but sometimes it does things wrong…)
(Edited in the face of recent posting)
now this officaly contains my longets post ever, it was one and a bit pages in word..

Ita the Reckless - October 12, 2005 12:27 AM (GMT)
I've been a member much longer than two weeks, but I haven't had many RP posts to compile for this application until now.
First, I only have two topics that have a good amount of posts by me in it, but each post is pretty long:
http://s4.invisionfree.com/Arda/index.php?showtopic=1211http://s4.invisionfree.com/Arda/index.php?...=0&#entry872110There are some topics where I've only posted once or twice. Here are some posts quoted exactly from these for ease of reading:
| QUOTE (Ita (The Head Tent RP)) |
Hood up and staff in hand, Ita entered the Dark Encampment. She stopped for a moment to observe everything. Her crimson red eyes slowly made their way up the giant tower that stood before her, ending at the spectacular view of many dragons soaring through the skies. Many obviously evil beings made their way to their destinations, none stopping to look at the lupine. This is how she wanted it. Ita, using her staff as a walking stick, made her way towards the Head Tent at a somewhat slow pace. Rellik, her ghostly minion, quietly flew behind her.
Finally, she entered the giant tent. There was certainly a commotion here. Already fighting amongst us, eh? Ita thought. Rellik quickly flew over to the book you needed to sign and rammed into it over and over again (going through it, of course). The lupine noticed what the blue-gray comet was telling her and slowly walked over to the book. One of the pages was covered in something black. Ita assumed it to be ink and turned to a blank page to “sign” it herself.
‘Bloood…signnn…wittth…’ Rellik alerted the cloaked lupine, flying around the book extremely quickly. Ita wondered how her minion knew that, but took his idea into consideration. It did make sense, signing your allegiance to Raku’s army with your own blood…
Ita lifted her free hand/paw up to her maw. She parted her jaws, revealing rows of sharp fangs. Very quickly, she slit her pawpads against her sharpest teeth, creating a light wound that began to bleed. She spat out some blood that was in her mouth and pressed her bleeding paw against the paper. It absorbed a good deal of the red liquid, and the lupine soon lifted it from the book. Ita muttered something under her breath, and a black light soon enveloped her self-created wound. Slowly but surely, the cut began to heal.
Ita turned her attention to Phedre and the others while Rellik made an odd gray mark on the paper himself.
“It will be a pleasure slaughtering with you.” She uttered in her aged voice, adjusting her hood and making her way out of the tent. |
| QUOTE (Ita (The Bloodshed Begins. RP)) |
Ita dug her staff into the loosely compacted sand lining the Eastern Coast. The lupine used her free paw to hold her cloak closer as a cold gust of wind blew her way. She turned her head to observe the sea: a dark blue color, with white-capped waves splashing onto the shore. Just then, a tiny comet flew around Ita’s head at an amazing speed. The lupine’s eyes, the only thing that could be seen under the shadow casted by Ita’s cloak hood, expressed a great amount of frustration.
“Rellik. I command you to stop.” Ita said, stopping her quite slow pace across the beach in order to discipline her minion. The comet slowed down and began to fly around about a yard away from Ita’s position.
“You know that is something that annoys me so. Now, go off and see how close we are to the Sanctuary. Report back immediately.” The lupine commanded, weakly pointing in the relative direction of their destination. The ghost sped off to the Sanctuary, out of sight in seconds. Thirty seconds later, Rellik was back.
‘saaanctuaryyy…clossse…’ it said to its owner. A small smirk appeared upon Ita’s maw and she began heading forward again.
Finally, the Sanctuary of the Angels was in sight. Ita and Rellik stood atop a hill overlooking the area. Ita used her left hand, her free hand, and pulled down her hood. The pointed ears, long muzzle, and brown coloration of the lupine’s wolflike head were immediately revealed. Her red eyes were cloudy and full of wisdom, age, and experience.
“So, my dear Rellik, do you think anyone has been violently killed here? I am sure some guards have, and maybe beings that have unsuccessfully launched an attack on the Sanctuary. Either way, there will certainly be at least one wandering spirit for us to capture.” Ita hypothesized as she took an overview of the Sanctuary. But just then, she noticed something.
An attack.
Ita wasn’t for or against what was happening at that moment. Looked like two people, most likely very powerful, wanted to attack the area for some reason. All the Lupine wanted to do here was collect a spirit and be on her way. She needed one that could fight, and was sure that a ghost like that would be here after this battle.
For now, she stood. And watched. |
| QUOTE (Ita (The Bloodshed Begins. RP)) |
Ita smirked as the dwarf and the demon continued their attack. She had the urge to join in on the fight, to help in the slaughter of the innocent. She could kill a guard, capture and tame its ghost, kill a few more people and then leave. Her ears perked up with hidden excitement.
“Alright. Time to get my hands bloody.” She uttered two spell incantations. The first covered her in a suit of ghostly armor; the second summoned the ghost of a mildly armored human. Ita walked down the hill and entered the Sanctuary. There was a good amount of carnage caused by the attackers. The lupine picked up a blood-drenched blade that was lying on the ground.
“Rellik, bind this to the top of my staff.” The minion obeyed and turned into a long ghostly string. Ita held the blade in the place she wanted it fastened and Rellik wrapped around it. A nice weapon it was, however crude.
A guard came charging at the lupine. He couldn’t slow down before being impaled by the soul handler’s newly created polearm. The guard’s huge white angelic wings flapped vigorously in an attempt to escape, but the human ghost came from behind and kicked him in the back, making the Celestial’s body embedd itself even deeper into the weapon. The guard died quickly.
Ita pulled out a black gem from a pocket that resides on the inside of her cloak. The ghost of the newly slain guard hesitantly left its body. The lupine could see this. She said yet another incantation for a spell, held out the gem, and (to the spirit’s surprise) the Celestial ghost was sucked into it like a vacuum. Ita playfully tossed the gem in the air a couple times and pocketed it.
“Time for some real killing.” Ita said wickedly to the ghost that was assisting her. She held her weapon at a semi-upright position and went to go kill some more people. |
Thanks for reading my application. ^_^
Widow Syn Lore - October 17, 2005 12:04 AM (GMT)
Oh this is delightful! Here is my profile application arper thing-um-bob!
This is one I did as a sort of beginning to her getting kicked out of her place amongst angels. ((Since when did you substitute 'Lady' for...you know the word? It doesnt get the same effect, but she slept with a demon. What would you expect?))
| QUOTE |
All she remembered...Syn was blinded by her tears. Punishment, they called it. The gaurds...they tied her arms behind her back so tightly her fingers tingled and then she could no longer feel them. Her legs had been bound together as well, then bound to her hands. She couldnt move on her own, so the gaurds that brought her before God drug her by her red-tinted golden hair. She remembered no faces, only the punishment.
"One wing for One betrayal."
Then the anguish she felt as it was ripped from her body. One of the gaurds...he had on some sort of cleat that cut into her back as he stood on her, gaining leverage as he ripped it from her. She couldnt even scream, her vocal cords were bruised already from the punishments earlier. Thighs bloodied and naked body whipped.
They flung open the gates madly and gripped her hair once more. The one gaurd with the metal spikes on the soul of his feet brought her eye level and called her "lady".
He threw her away like trash. Her heart was broken as she knew, her love would never save her. In that moment, love drained from her heart from her once-beloved, leaving only the pain of betrayal, and the knowlege of her own to the family she once had. As she lay there, it took only moments for the sand to attatch to the blood covering her body, digging into her wounds. The sand was in her eyes and she shook, horror of her new life settling.
Looking up over the horizon, she spotted a figure moving her way. Shocked and reminded of her beloved, she began to convulse, hurring to get away from this figure, afraid of what it might be. |
((A continuation after she is found))
| QUOTE |
Syn harly remembered it all. Only the feeling of being pulled up by something other than her hair, and into a warm embrace. She remembered feeling this way before, she was feeling safe, but these feelings seemed so unfamiliar, as if they were another's memories. Syn's heart cried out at this, and as she was crushed against the man's body, her body gave out and she dove into the world of unconciousness.
She slept a dreamless and short sleep, being awoken by the word 'TRAITOR'. When she tried to cry out at that, She was not a traitor! Only a victim of the heart...no sound escaped. She tried to wiggle, to escape the mean words and hurtful feelings she was overcome with, but her arms and feet were still bound, she was a prisioner in herself.
The man said something she barely understood in her crazed state of mind. Something of blood. Her red-shot eyes hazily looked over her body and she was ashamed. Syn's once flawless skin was marred and covered in blood and feathers and sand...She started to shake again. This hell she was now condemned to squeezed her fragile heart and made it hard for her to breathe. She began to draw in sharp and deep breaths, wheezing, making her cough. She turned her face towards the ground and took in a breath of earth, effectively setting her lungs on fire.
Her neck bent back as she was trying to breathe and caught a glimpse of the one who took her away from the place she had known as home for her entire life, pleading with him to help her.
Syn wanted to die. This was hell, knowing she wouldnt. |
And a little something else as former Nature Goddess. Im not going to post them because there are many...
HERE. Warvolt Redeye - October 23, 2005 11:32 PM (GMT)
I've been RPing for a long time, and my two weeks are up. Here's a couple threads I've been a part of thus far.
Cursed Memories"camp"ingMy best post on this site so far
| QUOTE |
Warvolt had traversed the cruel mountain hundreds of times in his life. This is where I was decieved. It was right over there the old man had sat as he drained me of all normality in my life. he thought to himself. It seemed the only emotions he could really feel anymore were hate and sadistic satisfaction, so he tried to excersize these as much as possible, even if it meant going to great legnths to do so.
The lich gazed about the area. Something was differant. Normally, he may find a bird or some other small animal. But this time, there was something larger getting closer to him. Warvolt gazed harder. Hmm, if I steal this one's life, perhaps I may be able to camp here longer than expected... He usually stayed in the mountains a few days, before needing to find something substantial to steal energy from. |
Goliath - November 28, 2005 10:40 PM (GMT)
Okay, I have been RPing here for more than 2 weeks. This isn't the first site I have RPed on, so I do have
some prior experience, but I must say that this is the best that I have been to. Even before I knew about ARPing here, I always made sure to correct mistakes I made. I still may have missed some, but I always re-read my posts and check for errors before posting.
I recently had my character changed and I only really have one good RP with him, but it really shows my RP skills. All of my posts are at least 3 paragraphs long, some 4 and a few 5. I also don't have any spelling or grammer (or at least i don' think I do, because I checked over my posts before posting them.)
Here is the link to the RP -
Click HereThe other site that I RPed on was Runescape (in the forums, becaue I hated the game) and some stuff I contributed was a Roleplayers guide, and I made a RP series which ended up have over 2,000 replies - just a little extra info to boost my chances of getting ARP status..
thanks for reading my application.

Please read the prerequisites about becoming an ARPer. You do not fit the prerequisites. You will have to wait two additional weeks for not following the guidelines.
Sareion Zeowolf - January 23, 2006 06:22 PM (GMT)
Well....LOL I guess its time to apply heres a lot of long post :)
Post 1 in light encampment
Sareion walked into the encampment they were large and scattered. But would it be enough. With such short time to prepare could they pull it off? Actually defending the moon? Sareion thought to him self as he walked through the encampment to the White tent in the back.
He saw warriors brave, scared, and quickly pulled together. Ashamed they couldn't be ready any fast but it would haft to do for now. Anyway what could sareion do this wasn't his army. Sareion sighed "Uhh, Who prepared this army. They wont do much good in this shape. Pulled together faster then most. But they certainly couldn't be combat ready yet" Sareion walked finally arriving at the tint this was the place he was lead to in his dream.
Sareion spoke quietly to himself "I can feel their presence the gods are here. Why do they still beckon for me to come after all they've put me through?” A tear ran down his face and he wiped it away "But this is no time for tears. It is my duty to help them so shall I." Even thought Sareion was a famous war general he couldn't just walk in there and demand an officer position but he had to help them.
He thought to himself he could probably just work his way up but that wasn't possible. All he could offer now was his blade. He had no right to demand anything. Sareion decided to stall no longer he was about to face his creator. He could show no weakness. He had to show them he was a better person than them. He wouldn't let anyone suffer like they've made him.
Stalling no longer Sareion walked into the tent. He saw a beautiful lady she was the goddess of life Lothlómendil, He looked around more to spot the God of Light Chimara, And finally the Goddess of Nature probably the only one who hadn't wronged him Liara; She was also very beautiful. He bowed in courtesy to them "I bow to you my gods, but not because your better then me. You are nothing without me. I bow out of respect I hope you shall do the same. If not I' am the better person here." Sareion then stood up properly and waited for a reply.
Post 2 in a Silent Bard
Sareion watched as Takoda took the Bar and heated it up for him as she was heating it up Sareion pulled a chair up for the Girl that had walked in Chrono walked into the Bar dusted his hands off and caught a Flagon. Chrono spoke with the bartender for a couple of seconds then his attention shifted to sareion.
Sareion waves "Hello Chrono, how have you been?"
As sareion was speaking Takoda walked up and shoved him back into his chair. "Sorry did i do something wrong Takoda?" Takoda told him to stay in his seat so he listened and stayed there sareion felt as though he had made Takoda mad seeing as though she rolled her eyes "I’ am sorry takoda".
Then she yelled telling the girl to come sit down. Sareion watched as a man walked up and put his arm on Chrono and then sareion watched as chrono threw him out of the bar "Humm must have been a drunk guy" Sareion thought to himself.
Chrono then clarified the situation telling them that old grudges don’t heal easily. Sareion spoke up as Chrono walked to sit down "Yea people can be pretty aggressive when they hold a grudge"
He watched as Chrono sat down and asked him what’s new sareion replied with "nothing much, i got stabbed but then i met this lovely young lady here (Takoda) so everything is ok now. What’s with the ring?" takoda was quick to talk asking him to hit me over the head "ahh don't do that i don’t need another thing to hurt. Please!" he watched as Takoda then unwrapped the wound and trying to burn it shut but each time she hesitated and stopped. Then she asked chrono to do it Sareion spoke up quickly "Humm, that may not be such a good idea but ok"
Post 3 in Torment until the end
Sareion sits out side of the Ancient tower. It happens that this was the Very spot his village laid upon a good 15 billion years ago. It also happens to be the same month, day, and time it was when it all began.
Sareion sat there in his sarrow it surrounded him like a cloak. He began to shed tears and fell to his knees. He spoke out loud Sadly "Why...Why did it haft to begin here. Why did it start then? If, (pause) If only I was old enough to defend it maybe it would still stand here" Sareion started to cry harder "Now, All thanks to you I have no one. Dam you! Why me my life, Why!"
Sareion stood up and walked over to the same spot his parents were killed "If only i was older. It's all my Fault. I let it happen" Sareion wiped the tears away "I miss you Mom, Dad why did you haft to go so soon."
After Sareion finished his sentence he fell to his knees and cupped his hands over his face and began to cry up a storm. Literally a storm it started to rain and thunder. Three men started to approach him. They looked like Scoundrels, piety thief’s is what they were they approached him. One put his sword at his back and started to demand all the cash. Well the other went and grabbed his equipment that laid against the chair. Sareion was weapon less and crushed.
But what could they do to someone who can't die. Sareion speaks up "I warn you, this isn't a very good path you lead" The man commences to whack Sareion in the head with a stick knocking him out "That will teach you to shut up! You old Bastard!" The man Pulls his Dagger out and Goes to slit Sareions neck. Sareion is completely defenseless and is in need of help he lies there unconscious.
Post 4 in Light Encampment
Even thought the goddess looked angry at the comment, she bowed back to sareion nothing special but it was still a bow. "I thank you for your kindness. Not often does a god bow back to a mortal. Most would call it an honor. But for me your just another person, you are no different. Liara looked towards the Goddess of Life maybe for guidance but it could be she was just looking around.
The goddess then spoke to him “Young one, I bow to you not because you are better than me, but because we fight for the same cause. There is no need for dissention among our ranks. Each of us plays a vital role in our causes success or failure. But be reminded that the earth existed long before the days of man, and it will continue to until the end of time. Save your rage for the battlefield. I have a feeling we are going to need everything that we can muster.”
She tried to smile encouragingly but sareion knew she was hiding her feelings. Sareion smiled at the god’s wisdom "It's good we can be seen as equals then. Maybe not in power or respect. But for whom we are. For the wisdom we carry and what we have seen. You I do respect for you are a far better person then most. Anyway I've come not to cause dissention but to rally are troops. They need all the strength they can get for the inevitable battle. As you said before we all play are vital role. Without them"
Sareion points outside "We are all nothing. For without them we couldn't be who we are. You are nothing without your followers. Are world shall last until the end of time. That is if I have anything to say about it. I still uphold my right to protect it. And as long as I live nothing shall happen to it. And I shall not bottle up my rage for the battlefield. Rage clouds your thoughts and as a goddess you should know that the most out of all of us. I will not cloud my decisions as I have before. If I did the skill I have would be useless."
The goddess then looked around the tent at everyone in it. The flames casted an unnatural shadow it was dancing across the goddess's face. The Goddess Liara then spoke again “There are many similarities between the habits of war and nature. Every organism, no matter how small, could have large impacts as their influence creates an unstoppable ripple through time that only increases in magnitude. No one creature can survive with out the rest of nature. So, in this army, everyone must realize this symbiotic relationship and know that no person, God or mortal alike can win the war with out the support of everyone. The war between light and darkness will cost many lives. Arda will mourn for centuries to come, and the battle will never be truly won. We must all do our part to save what we hold dear. I for one will not allow my domain to be overcome by the vile dark forces of Raku! He will not destroy all that is beautiful and whole in this world. I will fight till the end of time,”
She paused and spoke some more “and anyone who aides me in that fight will always have a place in my heart, regardless of their past or present. Now is a time for mortals to show their true colors.” Sareion replied to her "You are right, everything matters. That couldn't have been said any better. For you know the best. We shall mourn for millions of years to come. But there is nothing we can do but fight. We cannot let darkness consume us anymore. We must fight to survive. Even though this fight is useless. We must fight.
And even if it cost me everything I have I shall still stand loyal to this world. As for Raku one day me and him are going to cross paths and we will fight. I may not win, but I wont just let him. If I could even damage him I will make sure to do it. And I hope I can stay in the grace of your heart. Even though what has happened in my past. Even though I've been forsaken I shall help you. And I hope us mortal’s will not back down when it comes to it. For if we do we are surly doomed." the goddess swallowed hard and a tear ran down her face. But she quickly wiped it away. Sareion began to speak again "Now is not the time for tears. This is no place for weakness."
Post 5 in Out at Sea
Sareion was flying about the same time the storm hit. He had to find a place to land or he wouldn’t be able to make it through the storm. He saw a fairly large ship and decided to take his chances. Sareion swooped in and landed to what seemed to be a Flawless entry no one had seen him. Sareion was a bit hungry so he walked inside and grabbed a seat by Mr. Thou. Sareion Yelled "Waitress bring me some food please.. Anything!"
Sareion slapped a few coins down on the table. Forgetting to conceal his wings they were drenched in water and dripping bringing tons of attention to them. The waitress walked up bearing a tuna sandwich "Excuse me sir? But uhh...not to be rude or anything. You don't look familiar may i see your ticket?" Sareion Laughed "ohh...Uhh i left it in my room" right about then the captain and 5 sailors walked in "and that would be?"
Sareion looked and thought for a moment "Uh, Why room 62" The sailors and the captain laughed "We don't have rooms! Seize him boys!" the sailors ran up to take hold of him "Ahh...wait!" the first sailor through a punch but Sareion caught it returning it with a punch in the stomach. Sareion stood up and threw a punch at the second one giving him a square punch between the eyes. Knocking him out cold.
The Third got behind Sareion and grabbed him by the neck strangling him. This was a monster of a man. Bigger then anything Sareion had ever seen or fought before. Sareion put his left hand on his right and rammed his right elbow into the mans ribs a couple of times but it was useless...it was more like hitting a Rock wall. Sareion Gasped for air. "Can't we just solve this like gentlemen" the captain laughed "Nope. What are you idiots standing around for. Teach him a lesson then throw him over board" the sailors replied with "I, I Captain!" Then quickly got up and started punching Sareion in the stomach. Sareion about now was coughing up blood "Someone help!"
Is that good enough? If that isn’t enough just tell me and ill find some more of my good post J

My newest post on Arda.Different Forum, but an example of recent Rp'ing on Imythess...will definitely continue on to Arda...Not quite as long...But hopefully still good...I know there's not much right now, but I'm gettting longer and better with every post I make... the first one was one of my last ones. That's about what you can expect in the future, or not too far from it. I am rather engulfed in poetry, and I spend alot of time along those lines, so creativity shouldn't be a problem. I also typically have very good spelling, with only the occasional error. As for my grammar, I could use some improvement, but have rather good grammar as it stans, with a run-on (or something like that) here and there. I hope that I am accepted, as I look forward to Rp'ing better and better as time goes on, and being an ARP'er will help me to grow even more than I have begun to recently. Thank you for your time. I hope it is acceptable.

This is my older account on the site, though I feel more proficient on my other account, I guess this one is a less serious attempt. I feel that I have gotten better with my spelling, and using spell check, and at remembering my tags, and checking over my work for bad grammar in the preview post feature.
I have made a conscious effort to meet a personal goal of at least 100 words for each post that I make as my character
Serafina. I also try to take into consideration what you said some where in the rules...i think it was for the new 25 word limit one, a post for a post!
I've put a lot of thought and effort into this and really hope that I am accepted as an ARPer. Thank you for reading over my application.

Ita the Reckless - February 9, 2006 10:41 PM (GMT)
Hi again.
I applied for ARPer status a while ago, and I would just like to request for my other accounts to be granted that title as well.
The explanation I read for how you went about doing this was slightly unclear, so I'll just post my request here.
The two other of my characters I would like to be ARPers as well:
1.) Velox, and
2.) Ahazez.
Thank you. If those two have to go through the whole process again, it's fine with me.
Sharzela - February 11, 2006 08:23 AM (GMT)
I would also like to Request that my other charecter Becomes an ARPer
(my other charecter being Zathael)
Ita the Reckless - February 13, 2006 01:36 AM (GMT)
There has to be a better way to do this. >.< I'd also like my oldest account, Dhati, granted ARPer status as well. I guess she's not dead after all.
Liquid - February 18, 2006 08:14 AM (GMT)
Wow two weeks seems to have flown by already. :)
Here is my application:
What a day to be alive! -My Arrival at Adra
Tournament: Sanjuro Vs Temathil -This one is self explanatory, although Temathil never replied :(
A shore side trot -Sanjuro meets Temathil and Dizahab, but the real highlight is his little braw, teaching the Drow a valuable lesion not to underestimate his enemy:
| QUOTE |
| During the Drow’s claw assault Sanjuro had a flash back of being impaled on spikes. It was one of the many grim ways he had died in his former lives, and he had no intention of letting it happen again here. There was also another strange sensation he was feeling, was it pain he wondered? Maybe it was a natural hatred toward his foe, for he was more concerned about who sent him and why more then anything, even killing him. Sanjuro forced those thoughts out of his mind as the Drow’s grip tightened. It was time to even the odds, Sanjuro always worked best when the odds were against him… “I am a man…” He choked out saying to the creature, and then spiting a mouthful of blood in his face. Sanjuro immediately turned his neck away from the direct pressure to avoid crushing his windpipe, then to break the Drow’s grasp he clasped his hands together and executed a quick upward thrust into his head. Sanjuro could now break the hold by raising both his arms between the Drow’s arms and forcing them apart. Now the time had come to take the fight out of Disahab, Sanjuro quickly grabbed a chunk of his hair and bought his fiendish foe’s head right down on his upraised knee. That being sufficient enough to break free Sanjuro knew he didn’t have time to catch whatever breath he had, so he quickly grabbed Disahab’s blade out of the sheath, spinning around so his back was to him then thrusting the sword backwards in an attempt to impale his foe on his own sword. |
Lost Wanderer -Sanjuro sings and plays around with Takoda for awhile until he is reminded of what happens to those he meets from an experience in past lives:
| QUOTE |
As Takoda whispered into Sanjuro’s ears his mind jumped into a flashback of yet another time period in his many lives. A woman had whispered the exact words to him once before, he now saw her face, but he could not remember her name. She was different then the woman who always appeared to him in his dreams, he had felt a strong feeling of friendship towards her. What was it that she wanted from me? Ah I remember now… She wanted me to teach her to become a soldier. Sanjuro thought to himself. He couldn’t exactly remember what had happened to her, but he was sure these jaded memories were going to tell him the important details. Indeed he had trained her before the times had grown dark for him, before his actual death. He would meet this woman again in a band of rebel warriors fighting what they believed to be injustice. Although he had taught her well, the hand of death wasn’t as cruel to her as it was to him. Her life was taken in battle, and she would come to die in Sanjuro’s very arms, for he was able to teach someone how to take a life, but he was unable to save a life. Perhaps this was another way fate decided to play games with his mind. Sanjuro’s body jumped as his mind snapped back out of the flashback, although it only lasted seconds these memories of his felt like they dragged on an eternity. “No… I can’t do that to you… Your mind and spirit are pure. There is nothing I can teach you, besides how to become a killer. Although even with the intention of training being used for the justice or self defense, it is a dark knowledge that will grow hungry as time passes on. One day you will be put into the position of having to take a life, maybe even to save your own. You will use that knowledge and you will take your first life, and then it won’t be long before you take a second. As time passes on you will become like me, where killing gets easier and easier every time, then before you know it you will be on a battlefield taking ten or twenty lives a day. The rush you get will feel glorious at first, you might think your doing good by taking out the bad element, but this is a feeling of false power that will consume you. I realize now my presence here will only bring harm to you, although it saddens me perhaps we should part ways for your own safety. I have now come to realize I am but a tool for Death, harming anyone I make contact with by means of a cursed faith. If I could be so bold I would ask you to teach me what it means to live, but for the time being I advise you to remain happy and defeat the evils of the world through peace and song…” |
But the best part of that topic is him dumbfounded by the beauty of her songs:
| QUOTE |
Sanjuro’s red gleaming eyes quickly faded back into dark empty eye sockets, he then sheathed his sword over his back. Who and what are you…? A question he never really thought about he pondered to himself and scratched his chin, which was pointless because he has no feeling in his skull face. “I am Sanjuro, a warrior of God.” He simply responded. “I have lived the life of a hundred men, and have a thousand tales. In those lives I’ve never seen, or heard such a beautiful creature such as you to be human.” Although Sanjuro was a very demonic looking and hostile creature, one thing was for certain, he kicked ass at dumbfounded flattery. He turned his head seeing the dagger sticking straight out of a nearby tree, he then grasped it and returned it to the lady. “Bah! I have succeeded today only in scaring women, and damaging the forest. Not the way I have had my quest set out in my mind. I sure hope this sillyness doesn’t make it into the history books… Are you sure your not some kind of monster in disguise?” He said skeptically. |
Also I put a lot of work into my history if that counts:

The Times Are Too Peaceful (first post)
Created a new race (Fionn's race):
| QUOTE |
| Aodhfin- [Aoyfionn] These beings can count themselves amongst the Racko and Celestials in raw power, though they stray not towards good or evil. They walk the ‘Middle Path’ (aka True Neutrality), as they call it, allowing them to tap into the powers of typically contradictory forces (Good v Evil, Life v Death, etc.) to enforce the cosmic balance. One may become an Aodhfin without being born as such, but to do so usually requires a traumatic, near-death experience |
I know I haven't posted much recently, but I should be able to post more often soon because my college's quarter is almost over.
Slade Mistweaver - February 26, 2006 04:04 PM (GMT)

Application Update
I have modified the application to include a section that goes into detail about some of the specific things I look for when I review your applications. This should be something you look at if you are interested in knowing how to prepare your writing before applying, and also to see maybe why you were not accepted.
Sol - March 5, 2006 09:02 AM (GMT)
hello this is snori i would can i get my new charicter acepted as a ARper like Ita's it is still me after all
Lord Skye - March 5, 2006 05:30 PM (GMT)
Hello there... might as well give it a go. I haven't been very active on this site; I chose a rather turbulent time of my life to join, so I haven't been posting much. But here:
A Silent Bard, page 9That's the first thread I joined. If my character history can be used as well, it's here.
~A Wandering Weapons Master: Lord Skye's Tale~Now, how will I know if I am accepted?
If this doesn't work... eh, I might not be worthy of it anyway. Maybe after a little longer posting, I suppose.
Edit: I suppose I didn't read enough of the first post; I didn't see the part saying you don't tell us, you just promote us or not. Sorry about that, and thank you for the promotion. :)

(OOC: Red= Wrath Green = Mule)
The men worked tirelessly through the blazing heat that always filled the rainforest. The sweat rolled from there brows as the pushed forward for their goal, increasing their pocket books of course. They had been there for less than a week and already removed over 100 acres of forest. Together the burnt, chopped, and destroyed tree after tree. They did not care anything about the poor creatures the killed and homes they destroyed, this would soon become a very big trade city where many would increase their fortunes.
Morris watched from a distance with watered eyes. His heart pounded as he watched the merciless onslaught. It tore at him to watch the sin of men destroy the innocent. The greedy fiends, how could they be so heartless? Surly he must do something; he couldn’t just watch as they disgraced the human race. He frowned as he looked down on his kindred. “Oh mother were you like these dogs? Surly I must stop them.”
“What can we do? There are hundreds of them. Please tell me you aren’t thinking of assaulting them all by yourself.”
“What would you have me do? I know your heart mourns for nature’s loss just as much as mine. We have to stop them. They do not deserve to live for their crimes. Look into the immoral green eyes. They would raze this entire forest to expand their bank accounts.”
“Yes, my heart is torn in pain, but one man can not stop them by himself. It would take an act of the gods.”
“Then perhaps we should pray for their guidance.” With this thought Morris turned his back on the wicked actions of the men and trotted back into the forest. He fell to his knees bowing before the wonder of nature. “Dear goddess of nature, if you are out there, hear me please. I wish to seek vengeance for the out right crimes against you and your creations. I can not let these crimes go unpunished. Please show me your will, and I will obey.” |
That is from one I started. Liara was supposed to be in it with me, but then she had some abscence come up.
The Arda Mafia I hope that is enough.
P.S. This also applys for Lady Emma.
Aslyn - March 12, 2006 06:05 AM (GMT)
Hi. This is my application for ARPer. I try very hard on my posts and I feel as though I am improving every day. I work on my spelling and check my work many times. I am also very active on Arda, and sign on every day!
http://s4.invisionfree.com/Arda/index.php?showtopic=2250The attack of Estolad
This was one of the first posts I ever made. Actually, I think it was my 2nd. I had never RPed before, so I kind of based it off of other RPing I had seen done on other topics. This is to give you an idea of how I've improved from here until now.http://s4.invisionfree.com/Arda/index.php?...=0#entry1070701Another Prayer
3rd RP post ever.http://s4.invisionfree.com/Arda/index.php?showtopic=2237The Speaker of the Voice
This was a quest that me and TheCreatureMorris did. It was a lot of fun and I think I did a good job.http://s4.invisionfree.com/Arda/index.php?...0&#entry1091967Storm Brewing
This is a new topic that I am in and I believe it is going fairly good.http://s4.invisionfree.com/Arda/index.php?showtopic=2397Altering Ones Self
First time I ever started my own topic. My other character is Saenity, so these posts are mine as well. http://s4.invisionfree.com/Arda/index.php?...0&#entry1076630Moonlight Hunt
About me and my encoutner with Vampires. Was a fun topic!Also, if you want...You can check out my Journal for some other RPing I've done. I only post in it at the end of quests/journeys/topics so there is only 5 posts in it so far. Check it out here if you want: http://s4.invisionfree.com/Arda/index.php?showtopic=2280If you need more example, I can dig them up! I hope I get accepted, but if I don't that's alright I'll keep working at it. Thanks!
Ploay - March 12, 2006 04:19 PM (GMT)
This is Ploay may my other char Alzon be pretty please become an advance rper?
Sanzen - March 24, 2006 01:17 AM (GMT)
Hello. This is my application for becoming an advanced RPer. For references, here are the RPs I'm currently in (I haven't done much, but hope they are sufficient)
The Arda Mafia: Part IThis is the first time I participated in one, I suppose it was a bit rusty and flawed, but I improved eventually.
The Seven Deadly Sins: Battle with SlothThis is the second plot I've joined in, it's a closed plot with Emma, Vendaria and Lord Skye.
Hope these are sufficient enough so I could be given this status.
p.s. Can my other character, Malefor also get the status? He is only in the Arda Mafia plot, but we're the same guy, so I suppose whatever happens to Sanzen, also happens to him.
Thanks again for reading the post...

I am fairly sure I have been around for two weeks as an active member now and I really REALLY want to become an advanced roleplayer. Let me show you how much I have improved since I very first visited. And just so you know, I am also applying for Dengar, my other character.
The TimelineFirst ever topicThis was a while back when I first joined. I hardly knew what the word Roleplay meant and was keen to discover it. As you can see you would be lucky to get more than five lines from me. I did not describe many things and simply posted to reply to the person before me.
Moving nearer to the present...As you can see I have finally made some progress and started to realise that posting one paragraph was simply not enough. This was still along time ago bear in mind and I was still fairly inexperienced. It also owns my first post to fill the screen! But still these posts were very basic and definitely not worth advanced roleplayer status.
An interesting sampleAs you can see the posts seem to be much longer now, and go quite a bit into depth of the topic. As you may notice there is an incredibly short post there, but that is only because of a misunderstanding with posting and mainly so Vendaria knew I had posted a split second before she did. If you look at the last two posts I made (the most recent) you can see that they now have great length and bare a good quality.
Just another topicThis one is nothing special, but simply shows the average amount I post. Way above the required.
DengarSome from DengarHere's an average topic from Dengar, showing the time and effort I put into my posts.
And also there is one I can't provide a link to as it is in the Warzone - Dark encampment. It is one of the more recent ones and I believe is probably the most original entry in there. I assume the admins can check for proof.
Best PostsDravachs bestMy best posts as dravach are probably in this topic as I decided to try my hardest. Realising how easy it was to achieve something like this, I continued to do that kind of length.
Dengars BestHere is some of Dengars posts. They are normally quite long anyway as I really enjoy playing him as a character. He is my favourite of the two at the moment.
Reasons for being acceptedI am active everyday and am on no matter what. I try my hardest with
EVERY post I make and make sure I write it to the best of my ability. I always make sure that my post contains
at least two paragraphs. I make sure that I abide by the rules and do not god-mod. I also spell check my work whenever I post.
Thankyou for you time.
