Tass,

A few notes that come to my mind as I read this.

If they agree to this, I will be happy and content- though not quite satisfied. The Precept is clearly devoted to pursuing their lineages, instead of rejecting them in favor of the Divine, and of this- we must be ever wary and concerned with the malefactors within their ranks becoming agents of evil in their devotion to their dark ancestors.

Frankly, I am content to have them banished from our lands forever- and by no means, must a deal or arrangement be made.

My good peers and lessers,

Word has reached me that one of you made scandalous accusations about the good Duke, and instead of defending your honor and words in the field of battle and the field of conflict-

HID LIKE A COWARDLY, FILTHY DOG. A -peasant- has more wherewithal and spine that you.

You are to confront the challenge from the Duke's servants or I will personally flay you and throw you at his servants.

The Count states that those who can arguably broker a peace between the Precept and Eveningstar will no doubt be generously rewarded.

Of course, only one person can be rewarded. Perhaps a merit badge, or a unique badge representing their peaceful and diplomatic nature?

• Sir Everwood

The locals in deadwell insist that the reason the undead keep appearing in the crypts is that adventurers keeping going in and disturbing the rest of the dead.

The undead literally do not wander past a certain threshhold from the graveyard which may lend credence to the theory.

I personally suspect that the undead are the byproduct of a certain wizard's experiment- but the evidence for such is non-existent.

Another app possessing the curse of 'meh, no reason to vote no, no reason to vote yes.'

Pretty much, yea.

@spiffymeister We've had too much "just let them play it". We have standards and apps for a reason. Does this meet the requirements for an app for a Kenku? We took them away as a playable race at some point (though I cant find where it was discussed or announced). Why did we take them away?

Kenkus were removed due to players feeling lost, useless, and having nothing to do as a kenku. They felt there was just not anything worth pursuing, and just being a sneak wasn't very interesting or rewarding. All kenku PCs mostly just loitered about, not engaging or pushing any storytelling. As such the subrace was removed.

Knowing Joe struggles with being independent and pushing stuff on his own, I dont think he has enough to stand on to really make the kenku experience fun for him or others.

Not really the fault of the race tbh.

They were meant to be filthy birdmen nuisances and never really more than that.

I dunno, it was a discussion had and made while I was on hiatus.

I suspect (but not sure of) the reason was because people were treating them as cute birb men instead of filthy birds and we wanted players we trusted to play them as described.

I trust Joe to be a scummy, uncharismatic asshole.

I believe in him.

It's a weak subrace with ic representation.

Just let him play the thing <_<

Race/Class/Alignment/Level/Name of Character
Kenku/Rogue/4/Gibber

What specific perk(s) (faction, special background, etc)
None. Will be kenku, "part of the consortium", but otherwise largely spying on various players and keeping a low profile

A few sentences on how you plan to make the server more fun to play on for everyone, through your characters actions/story.
The character will be essentially spying, constantly on everyone and offering information for a fee. Will try and steal especially useful materials regardless of human intentions. May join the Lavish Haunted Halls plot, but will spy on it regardless. Happy to accept this character will die like a dog very quickly but hopefully that will creatre stories, and that's part of the fun. Kenku are interesting race and usually people engage when they see one.

If you're not applying on your normal log-in or handle, what accounts have you played under?

Brief background as relevant to the application.
Gibber is part of the consortium, and so will not "betray the flock", otherwise it is basically an unaligned spy that will constantly try and sneak into every meeting or event without asking PCs. OOC the character was inspired by a lycan rogue I went, and realised it would suit the kenku. I have been kenku before. I think the element of surprise and obscurity of the kenku will make players hands-off, but really Gabber is one of a thousand talking pigeons who will be killed without as much as a whisper.

Other- A few examples of how you plan to portray the subrace. (Features, traits, noticeable differences through role-play)
Weak, uncivilised, interested in coin, spying constantly on everyone.
