Attention all worthy adventurers of Empire War!
Recently, the Order of the Bards has been given a Headquarters thanks to the benevolent Kindness of the Staff, especially Sjoerdtim, King of Gondor, and Pwned_Slayer, I am not sure what he is but I'm sure he's awesome.
There is only one problem with our current headquarters: There are six seats, and only five bards to fill them! So this brings me to a clear option:
TIME TO FIND THE NEXT BARD!!!
I am starting a contest to find who the next bard will be. If you want to apply, create a roleplaying character based on EmpireWar Canon (Basically LOTR canon plus any stories/lore from forums, server play, etc). Then, post on my wall, comment on this forum post, or send me a message with the following:
-Your mine craft name
-Your character name (Could be the same, for me it is)
-A brief (1 paragraph or so) description of your character, who they are, where they're from, their talents, and most importantly why they should be a bard.
-Though I will have gotten a taste of your writing style from the character description, I will need more. Include a short story about your experiences on EmpireWar. Use any current bard's stories for inspiration. Creativity is just as important as keeping with Canon. This should not be shorter than a paragraph and not longer than a page. This can be a story you have already written and posted to the forums or elsewhere.
-The stories, characters, etc will be judged on a couple of factors: Creativity, Writing Style, Grammatical Ability (not too important just helpful), Character depth and validity (don't make yourself OP, use good RPing skills, but make it interesting), and overall fitting with canon, etc. Also, ability to follow instructions.
-MORE WRITING DOES NOT MEAN BETTER! FEEL FREE TO WRITE ONLY JUST A LITTLE, I'D LOVE TO HEAR WHATEVER YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER. Even a short story can tell me a lot about your writing style and personality.
I will soon announce who the new bard will be. Their official title will be "(insert name here), Bard Initiate".
If you are already a bard (Kordian, Nightrogue, Kingjoseph or cool_col) feel free to send me your own application, so I can learn more about your character, however your spot is secure.
Thank you very much for your attention, and spread the word to your friends! I hope you all apply, and I can't wait to hear all the fascinating characters! I apologize for the long posting.
DISCLAIMER
The judging will eventually come down to my personal opinions, so even if you write an epic application that doesn't mean you'll necessarily win. Also, ANY CHARACTERS I RECIEVE HAVE A HIGHER LIKELIHOOD OF BEING INCLUDED IN ONE OF MY STORIES!!!
Five seats are filled: the fifth could be yours!
