Title: Promotion


Lethuron Windwolf - August 2, 2008 02:00 PM (GMT)
Barrez has been promoted. I guess Vayne wants him to be a mod, too, as "SRS BSNS" was written at the bottom of the form, as advice from Vayne, apparently :P

Seriously, though:
Barrez has been with us since the start,. and has always been a good and friendly RPer except for a couple of jitters (that were sorted out).

For this, I'm promoting him.

His application was (for those who want more reasons):

How long you¡¦ve been on the Nether: Over eight months


Short Description of your Character:

The character I would choose to be a Guardian of the Nether is the vampiric clan lord, Raskar. Not just centuries, but millenia of knowledge are locked away in his mind, from the beginning of humanity itself. Coupled with this, he is a natural leader, having ruled over the Riz¡¦akar clan since the breaking of the ¡¥First family¡¦ of vampires. He has great influence with his race, not to mention his ties to the Windwolf family, both through service (protection during the civil war) and family (Santino Rainclaw). Finally, his power is substantial enough to bring authority with a cruel, but fair, judgement.

I fully believe I would be a good candidate for Moderator because of my hard working attitude, dedication to the site and willingness to always put forward ideas to make the site better (eg. The Coven, The Museum, Adopt a Characters, and a great deal of vampire history and culture) Moderating forums would be no problem for me, as I spend a long time reading topics out of interest.

The Nether has been ran by an excellent team of Admins and Moderators for some time now, but as the site grows more staff will be needed. I would love to contribute more personally to the site in all it¡¦s aspects. I have a very creative mind, and am full of ideas that I¡¦d like to help implement. Of course, as well as out of character ideas, The Nether is a role playing forum after all, and it is the plots that make the role playing enjoyable. To answer your question on a site wide plot, I would create a plot based around the vampires of The Nether City. They¡¦re as old as humanity, embellished in real world myths and legends around the globe, and ripe with backstory, so there¡¦s definitely a lot to be done with them. This wouldn¡¦t be a simple ¡¥vampires versus vampire hunters¡¦ plot, as has been seen in the past. It would involve clans, struggles for power, the vampire standing among the city, and yes, a few non vampire ¡V vampire conflicts to involve other members who don¡¦t wish to play the bloodsuckers.

Please write, in a paragraph or two, why you feel you should be given the spot. Also, explain briefly what you feel you would contribute to the site if chosen for a Staff Position. Answer the following:


Excerpt
1) Describe your role-playing in ten words:
Inspiring, Detailed, Creative, Developed, Insightful, Thoughtful, Witty, Enthusiastic, Passionate, Inventive


2) A short excerpt of your role-playing:

"Thirty six dead." Marciel informed Raskar as they strode through the hospital ward, filled completely with vampires.

"A further nineteen wounded." his gaze wandered to a youngster, the boy's face covered in burns. Those in the ward were healing, slowly, but they would bear the scars of the previous night. Raskar didn't seem to care, looking straight ahead. Marciel turned back.

"A massacre, cousin. My men..." Raskar turned to face Marciel sharply.

"Your men, and I use the term lightly for they are, in fact, my men, were led into a trap and slaughtered. They were following your orders, and your actions caused their deaths." His hand shot out, grabbing Marciel by the throat and lifting his frail form off the ground with ease.

"I would kill you now if it weren't for your knowledge of the other clans, knowledge that after six hundred years is looking dangerously outdated, cousin." He dropped Marciel, who slumped to the floor gasping for air.

Raskar turned, facing the wounded vampires of the room.

"Lick your wounds, younglings, and know that if you fail again you'll each feel my personal wrath. I'm taking control of this operation."

From the topic, ¡¥Consequences¡¦


Extra Notes

I think the blue title is sexy :P
SRS BSNS ¡V Vayne told me to put it XD

:D Thankyou Leth!

Seriously though, It's been said lately that the mods of the site don't do enough, that all they want is the title. I'm hoping to change that, and if it works it'll make the other mods jealous enough to work their asses too :P

Again thanks!

Vayne Sera - August 2, 2008 02:40 PM (GMT)
You have been awesomely good at getting new members fammiliar with the site, and with mod powers you can make Shadow's uername match his charachter name. :P

Lethuron Windwolf - August 2, 2008 02:41 PM (GMT)
No. Only admins may do that! :P

Vayne Sera - August 2, 2008 03:21 PM (GMT)
Are you sure? o.0
I guess so. But mods can change profile details if I remember correctly. >:3
Meh, it helps. XD

Lethuron Windwolf - August 2, 2008 03:25 PM (GMT)
I THINK they can edit sigs, but definitely not names. :P

Barrez - August 2, 2008 03:57 PM (GMT)
I checked, and no we can't edit names, though I may be mistaken.

Vayne Sera - August 2, 2008 04:30 PM (GMT)
Nah, you use the Admin CP for that. XD
