Canon Character Application
My name is Dai /Al and I am 19 years old. I want to join this site because your Seychelles told me you’re amazing guys… so I went through your chara’s list to see if one of the characters I usually RP was free… and Liet was =3=. I have been roleplaying for 2 years. I kind of RPed before but I didn’t really know I was RPing orz I just liked to fake I was a certain chara on msn with my friends and I normally post between the 100-250ish (the more you write, the more I reply) mark. Here is my application:
Character name: Toris Lorinaitis
Age: He was born in 1253, do your math. Appearance: 19
Appearance: Toris doesn’t really stand out because of his physique. He’s not especially tall yet he’s not short either, he’s just average. His eyes are light green and his shoulder-length hair is pale brown and soft. He usually wears it loose but he likes to wear a ponytail when he’s working. He has a pretty childish face that reflects his good-will. Since he’s a priest he always wears his comfortable black robe, and you will probably see him carrying a stack of documents and his cross everywhere.
Personality: He’s pretty much shy but not to the point of hiding from people. He enjoys company pretty much actually.
He will always do everything to help and heal a person, even if he barely knows the person or even if he/she has been mean to him in any way. And because of that he ends being bossed around quite often, to the point that he’s actually grateful when the person he’s working for shows the minimum hint of respect to him. He’s not used to be loved (at least he thinks so since his “brothers” are actually quite fond of him) so, when somebody tells something (anything) nice to him, he automatically becomes attached to that person in more or less grade
You might think he’s weak. He is but… he’s into martial arts and can kick your ass… if only he dared to. What if he /really/ hurts the other person…?
Occupation Priest (Healer)
Strengths: Apart from his healing powers, he’s good at cooking and domestic stuff. He can easily clean, wash, iron any kind of clothes, repair things when they broke, etc. He’s pretty much a handyman. He’s also very loyal (Seal of the confession…), you can tell him everything and he won’t judge you.
Weaknesses: His greatest weakness is that he just /can’t/ look to a sad person right on the eyes (whether the person is really sad or simply faking it) and not ask if he can do anything to make that person feel better, so he’s easy to use and abuse. He’s also very blunt when it comes to somebody loving /him/ or just caring about him since he’d never believe anybody could. He’ll just thing the person is really nice in general. He’s also extremely pessimist.
Backstory: Lithuania was born in 1253 when, after reuniting the fragmented Baltic tribes, king Mindaugas became his first king. Despite being constantly bullied by the Christian crusades (mostly Spain and England) and the Tectonics Knights (a very young Prussia), thanks to his good skills on strategy he soon grew to be the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, who ruled all the eastern-Europe.
He reached the height of his power when he became allies and close friends with Poland. At first, especially after the creation of its common-wealth, the blonde forced his culture on him (like language, culture…) but since their army worked well together and Poland was pretty nice in general, he bear with it. Thanks to Poland he was converted to Christianity and discovered his healing powers thanks to an old monk. With the time, he decided to became a priest and use his powers to heal people
…Then the Northern wars came and Liet was devastated twice in a very short time. A foreign terri-… (oh come on who am I kidding) Russia make the most of it and broke the commonwealth… and Lithuania was forced to became part of Russia along with his Baltic “brothers”. If Lithuania though Poland had imposed his culture, it was nothing compared with the ‘Russification’. Liet was forced to learn Russian, write in Russian, speak in Russian… and was badly punished if he didn’t. The scar on his back shows the kind of punishment he received. He dreamed of the past days daily… and, despite everything, did his best to please the Russian. If only he wasn’t forced to leave his religion… he couldn’t even use his powers. He still read the Bible every now and then, when he thought Russia was not watching.
The sight of the beautiful Belarus around made his days a little better…
After the end of the WWII he begins to work in America for a few glorious days, until the crack came and Russia took him back.
He would win his independence decades after, the last Russian tropes leaving his land on 1993 and he was finally able to fully restore his friendship with Poland and become a Priest again, not having to hide his powers anymore. Russia never ceased to creep him everywhere though…
Sample Post: Liet frantically ran downstairs when he heard the loud noise. That noise was always unmistakable, and he had heard it too many times to not recognize it instantly. The sharp noise of a glass crashing onto the floor, breaking into million pieces that would be almost impossible to pick up. Still, he had to run there and try to do it, try to hide the evidence… before it was too late…
When he opened the door his suspicions were confirmed. Latvia was standing there, shaking heavily and staring at the wall absentmindedly, his hands slowly bleeding from a superficial cut he had on the palm. He didn’t even react when his brother called him, his mind probably focused on the punishment he might receive later. Liet quickly pounced in front of his “brother” and grabbed him by the shoulders, shaking him heavily to make him come back.
“Raivis, Raivis! It’s alright, we will fix this… but you have to clean everything! Do you hear me!?” He palmed his face softly and repeatedly “Quick! Don’t give him reasons to punish you!...”
After shaking him for a good minutes he seemed to react, blinking heavily. Liet sight in relief and told the littlest Baltic everything would be ok while he grabbed his hands. He felt the guy slowly calming down under his touch. Liet closed his eyes and let all the energy flown to his hands, where a blue sparkles began to appear, like electricity. Slowly, those sparkles run to the youngest’s hands and Lithuania dared to smile at the shaking little guy when his injuries began to heal.
Lithuania is love <3
