Canon Character Application
My name is Chibi Zsó and I am 16 years old. I want to join this site because I like writing fantasy stories, I want to practice my English, and... that's all. I have been role playing for half year and I normally post between the 50-100 word or more mark. Here is my application:

Erzsi (her Hungarian nickname) usually wears green military uniform and she carries a big frying-pan. But she like to wearing her nationality clothes. The most of know is her green dress.
And when she was nomadic girl, she wore big brown clothes, what was sewn from animals fur, she had got helms with reindeer horn.
Personality:
Elizabeta is very friendly and hospitable girl. People say she is like a big-sister, she loves everyone...
Although you aggrieve her, she going to beat you with her frying-pan or bow. Be careful!
By the way she loves horses, plains, nationality clothes, literature a her "sea", Balaton. She cooks very good goulash and she can bakes "bukta"*.
Occupation:
Archer, because hundred years age her first "boss" were gorgeous archers, and from they all Europe was frightened. Naturally Erzsi learnt all about archery.
So she makes lot of bows from wood, and loves decorating they with bones or animal skins. Her bows like "C" letter, they are very elastic.
And horses... Elizabeta likes going to battles on horse.

Also she is as a good sworder as she's good archer. And Elizabeth has a secret trick.
Weakness
She can't fight againts heavy knights. And she is affected by cute boys.
Backstory:
Before Erzsi's father came to new home, this land (Pannonia) was part of Roman Empire. When he disappeared, lot of folks came, but just Magyar could stay here. Erzsi's father made lot of "adventures", and other empires didn't like it. They fought a lots, but finally Holly Roman Empire won.
Magyar decided, he become christian empire. His bosses (ex. Géza, after his son) fought with paganish people, who didn't want a new religion. Naturally relligioned people won, and their boss, István founded new kingdom in Europe: Hungary in 1000.
Erzsi's childhood spent very well this stronge country.
But her life wasn't stay happy forever. In 1241 Mongols attack Magyar, and he lost on battles. He disappeared, and Erzsi stayed alone, while mongols were destroying in country. Finally they didn't captured the land, suddenly came to their home. Afterwards Elizabeta breathed freely, then Béla the forth and she started rebuilding towns, temples and they build new, stone castles.
After that Hungary restored to life, became greatfully kingdom, again. She made new friends (ex. Poland), found new universitys, opened the one of the biggest libary etc.
Although, Turkey (when he was Ottoman Empire) wanted to conquer Hungary, but their plains went to defeat. Long times Hungary can won over Ottomans, but in 16 th century her bosses were weak-hand, they couldn't control the country. But, in 1526 Ottomans won, Hungary's actual boss (Lajos II) dead, everything went to bad. And these times Austria wanted Hungary, too. He and Ottomans disputed a lot, what they do with Hungary.
While Erzsi and her bosses tried to stand up, thus they moved to her brother, Transylvania. Three empire always fought and cpnclusion of peace each other. After 150 years Austria and Hungary united againts Ottomans, and they won. But Austria-san had got a stipulation: Hungary must join to Holly Roman Empire house. Erzsi and her bosses accepted it, and she moved to Austria.
Elizabeta didn't like this life, she often made freedom wars with her bosses, example István Bocskai and Ferenc Rákóczi the second, but she couldn't beat Austria-san. She gave up, and joined the Austria's army.
Meanwhile Erzsi tried improving. In 19' th century her friend, István Széchenyi went to England, and he brought lot of new ideas, thus Mr. Széchenyi and Elizabeta started Age of Reforms. They built Chain Bridge, Parliament, Nationally Theatre etc.
But the main thing: they wanted to be free, but Austria didn't like this idea. Hungary and Austria had lot of discussion, finally in 15 th March 1848 Hungary and her men, Youngers of March (Márciusi ifjak) made Revolution, and they proclaimed Republic. After one year Hungary and her folk beat with Austria and Russia's (who helped) more stronger army, thus Elizabeta lost the war.
But afterwards Austria forgive rebellion her. So they married, and creationed Austro-Hungarian Compromise in 1867. By the way he needed to an allied againts Prussia.
So, Austria and Hungary were married to WW1. Erzsébet divorced him, because she had got lot of problems near to Austria. And then divorce, Erzsi sustained the biggest injury: she lost lot of areas from her land, and her brother must moved to Romania.
Afterwards she tried make Republic again and again, but it didn't work for her. Later Erzsi joined to Axis Powers in WW2, although she lost lot of people from folk, thank for Germany's and her boss, too.
From 1945 to about 1980 she lived with Russia. Her life wasn't too bad, but Elizabeta wanted Republic yet. After 1980 her dream came true: she proclaimed the Republic of Hungary.
And now she live average life.
Sample Post:
The Sun was shining over the Great Plain. The horses run, grey cattles were grazing, the wind are blowing. Erzsi sat near to big tree and she was thinking. She was reading letter from her actually boss.
"Russia didn't give any energy." quoted she the most important part from letter. "It's big problem... Where can I find energy for my folk?" She sighed, then crumpled the paper. Erzsi very bored his boss. He was always complaining of people, not enough money. And now Russia. Erzsi heard from someone (perhaps from her brother) that Ivan is angry for her big-sister, because she stole lot of gas. And now Russia doesn't want give energy nobody.
"What are you doing now, Erzsébet?" asked herself. She know, has got two solving: must go to Russia, or find a new energy source.
Erzsi stood up, dusted off herself, and departed back small house, where aunt Náncsi lives. Erzsébet love Náncsi, because the nice aunt always listen to Elizabeta's problems and Náncsi everytime can say something solving. Perhaps the old lady can say something this time.
