Description

December AdoptablesAll adoptables are available for non-members and members to try out for

For non-members, these designs are a 'golden ticket' into SA; if you win them, you're in! Adoptables are the only way to start the game with a character that isn't a Common Horse.

CLOSED
Congratulations to all winners!
Loudish strideroo BlackBee23 strixx-variaa Β  ThePaisley


Rules
- These designs must be used for Starborn-Alignment. If you leave SA, you cannot keep the design.
- You may try out for as many admin adoptables as you like, but you can only win one. The one you win will be the one you made the best application for.
- To apply, you must reply to the appropriate comment below. Applications that do not reply to the correct comment will be ignored.
- These adoptables are not guaranteed! If none of the applications are up to SA's standards, none will be picked.
- If won, you may make minor tweaks to the design. Breed cannot be changed.


Application Template

Name:
Age: (Refer to the age restrictions below)
Personality: (minimum of six traits and 250 words)
History: (minimum of three paragraphs)
Supplementary Questions: (See below for your adopt's specific questions)
Β 



Adopt #1
Seal Bay John Mule
Age: 30+

Question 1: Tattoos are usually very personal. What does the character's tattoo mean for him? What part of him does it represent?

Question 2: How did the character discover the formula for imbued ink? Feel free to get creative!


Adopt #2
Gray Tobiano Mare
Breed: Morgan
Age: 18+

Question 1: To be born blessed, the character's parents had to pray to Ignacio for their unborn child to receive his blessing. Why did they choose Ignacio, who Breimens typically detest?

Question 2: How does the character utilize her blessing? Is she proud of it and eager to incorporate it into her life, or is she ashamed and wishes to hide it?

Adopt #3
Red Roan Tobiano Colt
Breed: Newfoundland Pony x Bashkir Curly
Age: 12-14

Question 1: How did the character acquire his flock, and what is his regime for caring for them? What difficulties does he face as such a young herder?

Question 2: Life is harsh in Onea, and even more so for an orphaned colt. Luckily, the character has a large herding dog to keep him safe and lend a helping paw to the flock. Tell us about this dog: his breed, his personality, and how the character acquired him.

Adopt #4
Liver Chestnut Varnish Roan Stallion
Breed: Percheron Mix
Age: 35+

Question 1: The Defender lives and breathes for the safety of his herd. What made this character so passionate to protect his people?

Question 2: What does the character think of the other four herds? What does he think of Vagabonds?

Adopt #5
Rose Gray Mare
Breed: Welsh Cob Mix
Age: 25+

Question 1: Women Scouts are a rarity - and to some, a novelty- among the War Forged. How does your character deal with the sexist doubt and criticism of peers? What inspired her to rise above the place that society feels she belongs?

Question 2: Does the character have high ambitions? Does she dream of being a Raider, or even a Sheild? What is her opinion of Valkyries?


Tips for Success

- Your character should have a balanced personality, or at least one that is more negative than positive. This gives them room to grow.
- Consider having your character born into their herd. Changing herds is relatively uncommon in Hireath (slaves not withstanding), and to be quite honest, the 'easy way out' when trying to make an interesting backstory.
- Think critically! Do your character's motivations make sense? Do they fit into the world? Their herd? How do the politics of their people effect their way of thinking? If they disagree with the norm, why? What sparked rebellion in them?
- Your character shouldn't have an accent that's not from Hireath (IE: British, Australian, etc) - those places don't exist in their world! Similarly, they shouldn't speak any language but the Common Tongue. Please don't write your apps in an accent, they make them very annoying to read!
- Don't gloss over the juicy bits! If your character travels from one place to another, tell us what that was like. Hireath is HUGE and full of perils - crossing borders isn't a Sunday stroll through the park!
- Real world religion and their symbols (Crosses, pentagrams) have no meaning in SA. Those religions don't exist, so please, don't put them in your applications!
- Know your herd and its culture well!

Question again, sorry

The template: do we need to follow it exactly or is that just the base info that got to be in it?
About to put all info in sta.sh so I'm wondering I can organize it like I usually do for my characters or not

I know we can try out for any of the adopts but does that still apply for the other adopts that other admins have made? Like I tried out for number 4 on here can I try out for another on one of the other adopt sheets?Β

I just had a QUICK question about the Echo. Β Is there a possibility that the 'Makers' that she worships are the crafters of steel in Aodh?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

queerly In reply to strideroo [2015-12-14 15:59:09 +0000 UTC]

Makers are a rank within Breim, they're essentially pioneers in fine art. c: The creators of Aodh's Incandescent Steel are the Aodh Artisans. I hope that helps! <3

Okay, another question: For the large herding dog
1) About what size is considered large?
2) Does this only include dogs from the herding group or is any breed that's used for herding okay?
Eg. Bernese mountain dogs fall under utility/working groups most of the time, but one of their base purposes is the herding of cattle accros the mountain hills.

queerly In reply to moonlightwalk [2015-12-09 20:04:30 +0000 UTC]

1) Can be up to your desecration! The main appeal of the dog familiar is that it can not only work for him but also protect him, so anything reasonably able to neutralize a threat long enough for him to get away would be perfect. c:

2) If it herds, it's good! BMDs are amazing <3

Great, thanks for answering!

Would a mutt be allowable? I have two breeds on eye and I can't quite pick, so I wondered if the dog could be a cross or if it had to be purebred.

Ooh, yes, they are <3 My family used to own one when I was little and he was always so gentle despite standing twice our size. x3

The mule: He's a maker with a invention already, does that mean we would no longer be able to create something once his character is levelled out?

For the orphaned foal: Does that mean he is truly alone or could he have been adopted?

Question! I'm in SA with a character I've sadly never drawn or rped that much officially due to other obligations/interests and whatnot. However, I have a lot more ideas and love for that adorable little Herder! Will my lack of activity affect your view of my application?Β
