Applicable BYOND Key - SoulOfLuna
Character Name - Amber Maria
Request Type - Character Ability (Creation of a specific kind of casting tool)

Request Details - This request is for my character, Amber Maria, whether by herself or with the aid of other individuals (whether NPCs or other players), to be capable of making a casting tool, from here on titled "rune bracelets". (In this case, "rune" is effectively just used to describe that it's a bracelet with symbols, generally pertaining to whatever needs to be used for spellcasting, but not necessarily actual runes). Under normal circumstances, they are about as capable as a tome, aside from requiring to get used to the casting tool being on your wrists and them being fairly easy to break. Amber herself also regularly has a second bracelet on, that she makes use of to keep a small collection of spells as well as to make the stealing of spells and the like easier, seeing as she's a Spellthief, though she refrains from handing those out to anyone she doesn't know extremely well.

Reason why you are making this request (if applicable) - Using the rune bracelets has already been part of what I'd been doing with my character before for the past couple of years, and while I can't be 100% certain, I believe at least one GM was aware of the bracelets being used, at the very least. I've also had my character make a couple of these bracelets in more recent times, for a couple of characters. I hadn't asked in the past if having those sorts of things made, whether personally or with assistance from NPCs or maybe even other players, is acceptable. Admittedly, I assumed that it would be fine as long as being able to use those kinds of bracelets is okay, and I'm really sorry for not checking beforehand. Essentially, I'm asking about this now to both confirm that the previous cases of this are okay and that any future cases of attempting this is allowed.

Roleplay & Lore supporting your request -

Lore: Based on the equipment in the game already, casting tools aren't limited to tomes. There have been fans, staves, and even actual weapons like swords or axes, that people could make use of to also cast any type of spell, a number of which are craftable in the game. In addition, based on the page regarding Spellthieves in the wiki, spells can be saved in many different fashions, with some of the examples given being cards, paper tags and tattoos. So, the possibility of such an item existing is there, as far as I can tell.

Roleplay: Amber had the bracelets for close to 15 years now ICly, if not longer. As a result of using many different types of magic, albeit though questionable means, she's become quite familiar with magic as a whole, as well as having the time to figure out exactly how the bracelets work, along with keeping a copy of the symbols her own bracelet has at home. Enchanting isn't her strong suit, but she does have a little bit more knowledge of it compared to the average adventurer, and with the amount of time she's spent in various places, she's bound to have at least a few connections to help her if it's too challenging to do by herself regardless.

(No RP logs, apologies. Worst case scenario, I could try to ask people that met the character to help with filling in some of the gaps.)

Note: Should any of this be an issue, I'm more than willing to talk and/or adjust details regarding this request.

Character Name - Mavis Haemin
Request Type - Special Character Ability (Superior Healing)
Request Details -  The intention behind this request is to give my character, Mavis Haemin, higher healing capabilities.
Mavis is an extremely devout Mercalan and she has had, for the greater part of her life, unshakeable faith in Mercala. It is through this continued faith, and a veritable three-plus centuries of devotion to her goddess that she has increased her ability to churn out better healing. Due to her age, experience, and general amount of Focus that she has within her body, Mavis would be able to heal things better as a general rule. Such benefits include:

• Regenerating minor limbs and appendages, such as fingers, toes, et cetera without much issue.
  
• Regenerating minor organs or internal damage, even if nothing is left salvageable.
  
• Regenerating larger organs, assuming that some of that organ is left behind, and the organ is healed within twenty to thirty minutes (as opposed to the seconds that most priests/healers would have).
  
• Reattaching amputated limbs with greater success and with a larger window of time (minutes, instead of seconds, as opposed to what most healers/priests would have).
  
• Greater healing factor and regeneration for the self and others.
  
• Ability to carry out larger Mercana healing projects as opposed to other priests/healers, due to the sheer amount of Focus within her body, her own experiences, faith in Mercala, and her racial benefit of being an Elf.
  
• Clearing scarring, whether small or large, through Mercana (although she would seldom do this, if at all, due to the potential of violating the tenets of Mercana), regardless of how much time has passed.
  
• Greater healing and treatment of Void Poisoning. At stage two, she would be able to prolong the lifespan of someone afflicted with stage two of Void Poisoning, as well as reduce the pulsating lacerations, so long as they refrain from using the Void, and avoid further exposure to it. Further exposure to the Void will result in loss of efficacy. Prolonging their lifespan would never be more than some years (at most ten, at least three), though there is the slight potential and chance that they would live longer (ultimate life expectancy is utterly dependent on the character being healed, and not the healer OOCLY). This is also completely dependent on the afflicted seeking consistent treatment with Mavis herself on a weekly basis. The method Mavis uses to treat stage two more efficiently and with greater results involves not only Mercana, but Aquamancy due to her Elven lineage and knowledge.
  

[Sorry if this is not quite the kind of detail needed, or if things feel like they're in the wrong place. Aside from the template there were no examples to work from!]

Applicable BYOND Key - Maritime Strategist Apple
Character Name - Lumina Ceres
Request Type - Character Application

Request Details - Would appreciate the opportunity to give this particular character the ability to fly again. (See below for more information) - Pretty much works the same as would with a corbie, but with an upkeep that makes it less practical for just getting her around and more practical for short bursts of combat and just doing it out of comfort to feel like herself again.

Reason why you are making this request - After a whole lot of character development, this flightless bird (A corbie both in IC and Mechanics) should get an IC chance at being able to soar again. She's been practically doing whatever she can to get back what she's lost.

Roleplay & Lore supporting your request -

Lore: For context, this girl is a corbie who lost her natural wings in an accident that left them tattered and worthless. Needless to say, she's lived quite a bit of her life in a state of distress over the implications and how she was treated over it.

Roleplay: Picked up on aeromancy magic in an attempt to find ways to get herself into the air, has hard focused the idea of going airborne again, though has had a time in the arena where she may have let her own trauma get to her in an attempt in a spar. Her lack of wings and how it has made her feel alienated has been a big part of her roleplay, forming the basis of why she used to hide behind her paper mask, even.

Got herself a set of artificial wings made - mostly for appearance and all, to make herself feel closer to what she should have had all along, and now attempts to use them in hopes that they'll help her feel even somewhat close to complete again.

[Unfortunately I don't have RP logs - never expected an application form and I never really collect logs of my characters much. If need be, information can be shared of witnesses to Lumina's IC in such ways to help verify stuff.]

This topic should give you an idea if an event you wish to receive help with requires GM permission or not. In general, it is fine to make an application to verify, even if you feel you aren't requesting anything listed below. Note that just because you require approval for these things does not mean you are unlikely to get approved. However, please be aware that if your event is intended to have any of the following, it must receive GM permission beforehand:

World Impacting Events

• Events resulting in significant damage to a non-player settlement or area. (Player settlements = things such as player houses. In that case, seek permission from the owner first.)
  
• Events that take place in areas where the NPCs there (such as guards, etc.) would react actively. (IE, attacking Dormeho would have the guards stationed there react to defend it.)
  
• Events that could or are intended to result in the severe harm and/or death of an important NPC. (IE, assassinating Elias, the emperor of Sigrogana. Note that for various reasons, certain 'story' NPCs which do not actively participate in the world structure, such as Kinu, cannot be part of an event.)
  
• Events that would otherwise cause significant change to the world or setting.
  

• Events that utilize story elements not represented in the official lore, including powers or places of significance.
  
• Events that could result in the harm or death of a lesser NPC. (IE, assassinating Doctor Gorri or Alex Richards.)
  

This topic is meant to give you a run down for things that require submitting an application on this forum for GM approval. Note that just because something is listed here does not mean that you're unlikely to get approved, or that it is being heavily policed - it is simply to make sure the player base and the GM team is on the same page, as these things can cause problems if left unchecked.

For more information on proper application format and what information you'll need to get approved, please check the main applications forum.

Character Creation Related
The following things require GM approval before you create your character, regardless of race:

• Characters with an age of 13 years or less, or an age of 300 years or more. (This also applies if your character is, for example, a vampire or mechanation who -looks- if they're that young.)
  
• Characters with a height at or below 4 feet 5 inches, or exceeding 7 feet tall.
  
• Characters that are part of an established group in lore. (IE, Church Knights, the Agency, Guards.)
  
• Characters that have a story element which does not have a lore basis or requires clarification. (IE, your character has a curse or magical disease.)
  
• Obviously, any character concept which defies the character creation limitations defined in the server rules.
  

• Character abilities or powers not provided to them by their race. (IE, the ability to fly.)
  
• Excessively unique interpretations of class/item/etc. skills or abilities. (IE, creating a Gundam because you're an Engineer.)
  
• Creation of things not directly supported by the official lore. (IE, creating undead or other monsters, creating things such as vehicles or advanced devices.)
  

Welcome to the applications forum. Please use the specific subforum (and not this main forum) based on the type of request you are making (either character-based, event-based, etc.).

When posting your application, we ask that you follow this basic format:

Make dungeons have all matching mob types even if they're below level 60 like current 61+ dungeons. Make mixed function like how dungeons are now and have all the packs be random.
