Ignasius sighed as he saw a roof after hours of riding. He had finally reached the village. The man checked his pouch... It had enough silver for a meal, but he will probably have to sleep under the stars. As he reached the tavern, the knight dismounted his horse, tying it near a bucket of water and came inside. While he had left his shield and warhammer on the saddle, the sword was still on his hip, just in case. Ignasius occupied the nearest table and took of his gauntlets, waving his hand towards the tavern wench. As she had finally come to the old man he nodded. "Greetings, good lady, perhaps you could fetch some food and drink for a weary traveller?" Ignasius placed several coins on the table and watched the maiden pick them up and heading towards the kitchen...
The man had waited for a while as a woman brought a mug of ale and a swine roast. He smiled and thanked her before digging into his food. All the past week he was feeding on bread and water... The taste of these treats almost brought a tear to his eye... He munched and though... He has only three coins left now... Would be enough for some bread and water, but not more... Ignasius sighed as he finished his meal and once again called over the woman. "The food is unlike anything I had for weeks, good lady.. Please, give my compliments to the cook." He took a sip from his mug as he looked at the woman again "Perhaps there is anyone in this village that needs some help from a warrior? I'd like to earn some more meals here... And perhaps a right to sleep under a roof as well?"

Ignasius sat on the edge of the river, barechested. He obviously washed himself recently, and now he was simply munching on a loaf of bread. His horse besides him was drinking the water from the river... The old warrior was travelling for days now. In a tavern of one of the town he has been in, the man heard someone talk that the hiding place of the dragons have been found, thus the hedge knight only followed an impulse, not sure what he was going to do. He knew that the hunters would come in numbers and that his swordplay alone would be not enough to hold off against a crowd, but he had hoped that perhaps he could warn them if he got there in time... But even then, he didn't know what would their reaction to an unknown human be. Ignasius knew they were intelligent... He also knew they were dangerous when facing a threat.
Ignasius finished his bread and started putting his armour back on. He slowly pulled up his chainmail cuirass as well as a pair of leggings and then he started strapping on the iron plates... While the man was used to the weight of it, he still found it very hard to put the armour on himself, no matter the fact that he had been living without a squire for about fifteen years.
About after a half an hour, when he was finishing strapping the last belt, Ignasius heard a beat of a huge amount of wings. He froze... The man knew they were dragons, and such a number of them is quite unusual to see just flying around... Suddenly, he understood.... The dragons were fleeing... The man was too late. The poachers have reached them.. And if they made a throng of dragons to flee... Ignasius didn't dare to think what size of the group was that of the hunters. The man was not afraid to die... But he knew that he couldn't stop such a group by himself. Ignasius finished strapping his gauntlet and climbed on his horse, trying to make the strong animal gallop after them.... But a horse is not nearly as fast as a soaring dragon.... He only saw how the masses of flying creatures were at an increasing distance... He knew that he cannot make it in time after them, so he just looked around, trying to understand where he was and moved to the direction of a nearest village.

Hurr hurr.. Perhaps it would be easier to defeat them then... Because I for example, forget all my responsibilities and that sweet thing called 'sleep' when I play >.>
Name:
Ignasius Permato
Age:
46
Appearance: (picture or description)
Stance: (Is your character for or against killing the dragons? Explain.)
Ignasius, being an honorable and altruistic person feels empathy for the dragons that can be put to extinction once again, thus he refuses to go along with the poachers, and sometimes even obstructs their hunt, when he is certain that he can take them.
Personality:
Ignasius, who once have been a knight in his younger days, still follows a code of honour of his previous occupation. He is a good, honest man, not afraid to spit the truth right into someone's face. Ignasius is brave and is not afraid to die, in face, death in combat is the one he prefers. This man is patient and will take criticism and insults without too much of a consideration. While he likes to be praised rightly, he hates flatterers, and instantly thinks less of them.
Weapons:
While Ignasius usually carries a steel arming sword, as well as a shield, he also has an iron warhammer for breaking heavilly armored opponents and a lance for charging with his horse (His lance is straped to the saddle when not in use. This man also has a knife, though that is usually used for non-combat situations.

And I am here as well
Why not use photoshop? C:
Hole shite, that's a lot of gamer gods...
Woop. I am here.
Calla, you did put effort in your application, by spell-checking, giving an interesting read of a story, that I did like. Also, your grammar wasn't tearing my eyes out. One thing go, you mixed up kilometers with kilograms. C:
As for you, Irish, here's the definition for that word
Try to figure out which parts of the short story were such, as I do not want to go further and seem very mean.
As for the typos.. It was your typos that got to me most, I didn't notice any on the others, as I myself am not a native English speaking, but the others did seem to put more time into looking at the text, rather than quick-typing and hitting the post button. So I didn't exactly found it acceptable for the standards of the Casual RP forum.
There are a lot of other things that bugged me, but I'll just look past them. All I ask for you is to fix the spelling, the rest of that will go with me.
Hold it against me if you wish, but all I want is that you'd improve.
As for you, Irish, here's the definition for that word
A cliché or cliche (UK /ˈkliːʃeɪ/ or US /klɪˈʃeɪ/) is an expression, idea, or element of an artistic work which has become overused to the point of losing its original meaning or effect, even to the point of being trite or irritating, especially when at some earlier time it was considered meaningful or nove

Irish, while I know your application is accepted, I am not a GM, and this will sound harsh, but I'll be completely honest and blunt.
In my opinion, you need to put more effort in your application. This is not Free RP, this is Casual, where acceptable grammar is preferred and where we like to put in a little bit of depth. I don't mind you using the cliches, because we all do that sometimes, and I am slightly OK with the shortness of it, but please, at least fix the spelling and grammar.
Peace.
