We know exactly why you've been nagging us. Not to sound insensitive...even though I am...but we don't care. If you have some real life things going on that may prove an interference, that is fine, feel free to tell us...but the mark of a mature RPer, which we know you should be by now, is that they can separate real life from the roleplay. Don't bring the irritation from your real life problems here. Please.
Your assumption is essentially correct.
Dwarf lore is up to my colleague to add, but I would recommend considering removing a few details from your backstory instead of replacing them. That way you give the impression you want without actually creating any conflicts with existing lore. If you don't want to do that, that's fine of course, it is your app...but such a thing is a skill that can be quite useful.
Finally, I was talking down to you, however this is normal when someone has irritated me. You don't irritate me, I won't irritate you, how does that sound?
Also, yes.
<Snipped quote by LordDeadpool>
I've not consulted the other GMs on the matter quite yet, but I suspect I am the voice of generosity on the matter, and will speak for all of us until informed otherwise, since you are so desperate for an answer.
There are two conditions for entry.
Firstly: You will please retain a modicum of respect for the GMs, their decisions, and their real lives. We are far longer-lived beings than you and possess the patience gained over such a time, as such, we have no need to keep to your schedule. Be honored that we considered your application for as long as we did instead of rejecting it outright due to the previously mentioned mistakes.
Secondly: You may be granted a total of ten strikes on both spelling and punctuation combined. This starts with your character application and will continue throughout the RP. We GMs will keep council and tally over your posts so as to keep a reasonable line of what is acceptable and what is a strike, that way you don't have to deal with my perhaps overly strict definition without assurance that others spoke in moderation of such. The moment you reach that ten strike limit is the moment your character is...removed. And be advised that this is over the course of the entire RP, not over any single post.
Now, with the understanding that this is a premature verdict and has not yet been discussed with my fellow GMs, you may consider re-submitting your character app if you find these conditions acceptable. If you would like to refrain from re-submitting it until we have a more unified voice, this is indeed recommended...however, you may find it useful to use that time for your edits. Rest further assured that I will acquire a final verdict within at most the span of a decade.
Signed: Your local GM who knows you and can get around your misspelled words with no problems,

After some thought and discussion it has been decided that Dendrin is to be rejected. I apologize Lord_Deadpool but the spelling and grammar is simply not something we can look past. Unfortunately, since all our contact is over the written word your small problem is unfortunately anything but. I really like Dendrin I can not deny, but sadly in this space spelling is key and while a few misspellings or awkward sentences can be overlooked, your quality of writing simply does not do DP.
@LordDeadpool I take it, then, that Dendrin does not have any magical ability whatsoever? According to a for-some-reason-not-mentioned-in-the-OOC communique, 400 is considered 'really old' for a dwarf, and Dendrin is downright decrepit, by that metric. Other errors of note:
Arkangrad has only existed for 50 years, give or take a couple months.
We already have an instructor for such things as combat. His name is Glynn, and he is played by none other than Cruallassar
The 30 or so spelling and grammar errors. We aren't asking for perfection, but, come on, man.
@LordDeadpool Deepest apologies about the delay, life happened, things needed doing.
To start, I'd like to verify your familiarity with the template we've provided for character sheets.
You also seem to be making a lot of assumptions about Dwarves, and of the lore behind Arkangrad as well.
I urge you to examine the first OOC post and to adjust your character to reflect what is written there.
Based on what I've seen, this will likely not be the full extent of necessary changes to get Dendrin to fit.
@LordDeadpool
But Deadpool, look! Cruallassar tried really hard to give you an answer to your app! Look at all the effort that went into that dot!
<Snipped quote by Cruallassar>
It's a really important dot!
I'm glad someone recognizes my answer to the situation.
Beyond that dot and its meaning...which should be understood by those present...I leave the answering verdicts to my fellow GMs.
