[/b] he nervously said to her as she extended her arm to give him a small package. Taking it from her hands, she turned away and left as he closed the door. Putting it on the counter, he would leave it for after his mid-morning nap as he went into his bedroom.[/ul][/blockquote][/blockquote][/justify][/size]

PENDING

There's one thing I'm going to need you to change. The site is only third person, so I'm going to have to have you change that in the post.

[Oerba Yun Fang]

ACCEPTED

Thank you for changing that for me. You have [1/2] of staff approvals you need in order to continue with the application. You need one more to accept or two to deny.

[Snow Villiers]

Yep yep, I don't have a problem here. It could be because you shifted perspectives, but keep an eye on a few minor grammatical mistakes for the future. You have the second acceptance! Go ahead with the application.

I'M FROM THE WORLD OF IVALICE WHERE I AM A/THE FLETCHER. I GO FOR GIRLS AND I WILL THROW MY WEIGHT BEHIND NEUTRAL. ------------------------------------------------- Weapon: A simple longbow with a quiver around his hip. His quiver can hold up to fifty arrows in it. Abilities: Red Mage/Summoner Starting off with a bow in his hands, Matt was raised for the hunt, but never pursued it. Instead, he still kept a little practice on the side to not let his parents down, but chose to follow the path of a mage. He found a teacher who was a red mage(will expand on in history). -Red Mage: Knows a bit about both white and black schools of magic. -Enchanter: He can do some minor enchantment of weapons, learning to do more deadly enchantments. -Archer: Has relatively good aim for his character, even at far distances. However, wind and all that take effect on lengthy arrows. -Summoner: Has the innate ability to summon, just hasn't realized it yet. Personality: Matt, like myself, is a bit timid around others, especially around women. Men he can usually get along with fairly quickly, probably a day or two. Women though, he struggles to find the words, even around his family members. However, even through his timidness and shyness, he does try to be good. Helping out here or there, he does so with, if none at all, minimal talking included. Looking at his face would give off the impression that he's a mean guy or a bad guy, but looks are deceiving as deep down, he's a kind soul. With his mind always on the happiness of others, he tries to do good, often with bad results. However, he is also a pacifist deep down, so he just turns the other cheek if someone hits him due to his appearance. He also loves to be around nature due to the serenity and beauty of it all, especially waterfalls. The sound of the water splashing into the small pond or river just brings a soothing sound to his ears, probably due to waterfalls being a staple in his childhood. History: Born on the streets of Rabanastre, he was born to a fletcher and a merchant, his mother and father respectively. His mother outfitted him with a small bow it seemed since day one of his life. His mother saw him naturally gifted with the bow from an early age, probably when she first gave him the bow. However, to him, it became boring, unappealing even. His mother's smile however couldn't keep him from giving up the bow for good, so he just practiced it on the side. Instead, he wished for a different lifestyle, a lifestyle where he could bend nature to either help or hurt others. He wanted to be able to save others. One morning, during his usual training in the woods, he heard a noise come from nearby. It sounded weird to him, as he only heard mumblings. Retrieving his arrows as the mumblings continued, he scanned the area for where he thought the words were coming from. Locating the general direction, he took a few steps closer, proceeding with caution and an arrow nocking an arrow, ready to disable the person. Closing in on the area, he saw a woman with a nearly lifeless body in front of her. She seemed to be trying to heal him, as the young archer, about twelve, watched on. She, however, noticed him and tossed a water spell in his direction. Ducking down, the water made a slice on the tree, as he was happy it didn't hit. "Why are you here? You should leave." she said as the archer blushed softly. "I-I'm sorry. I-I heard a noise so I-I-I came to check. I-I'm also a b-b-bit fascinated w-w-with magic, s-s-so I stayed." he said very nervously as she went back to healing the man. About a minute later, the man sat up to the archer's astonishment, but she seemed happy as she gave him a kiss on the lips. "Oh that was her husband?" he mumbled to himself as she beckoned him over, asking him to move the injured man inside. After that, she pulled him outside and inquired about his earlier words. He nodded, saying once again he wanted to learn magic. "Would you like me to teach you a thing or two?" she asked with a smile, and he nodded vigorously. "Alright, we shall meet up here at the same time. However, if you are late, you are not to be accepted as my pupil, understand?" she asked as she moved her face into his. He nodded nervously and left, coming back at the designated time. "I see you made it pupil." she said from her meditative state, hearing his footsteps. From that day forward, she trained him, first in white magic, then in black magic, white magic taking up two years and black magic taking up three. It took three for black magic as she quizzed him on white magic. After that, she taught him a bit of swordplay for the next two years, also adding in some enchanting magic as well. It was tiring, working from sun up to sun down five days a week, on the weekend he practiced his archery and fletching from his mother. After that, he asked her if there was anything more she could teach him, but she said no. "However, I'm sure your father could." she said with a smile. It shocked him, as what could he learn from a merchant besides how to bargain? Approaching his father, he told her that a mage told him he could learn something from his father. "A mage did? I suppose I couldn't hide this from mages, they have sharp senses." he said to his son as he beckoned the young male to follow him to a deserted area in the forest. Making a hand gesture for his son to stop, he moved forward, performing a prayer of sorts. In the blink of an eye a few seconds later, it became slightly dark as the ground began to glow. The young man stood petrified of what was happening, but his father seemed to not be moved. All of a sudden, a creature of sorts rose from the ground in front of his dad, as his whole world seemed to stop due to fear. His first aim was to shoot it, but his father didn't seem too scared of it. Then it hit him, his father was a summoner. "This is my legacy I will pass onto you. Your mother wanted me to give you this when you were ready, and I think you are. I shall train you to take it on and control it." he said to the son with a smile. Over the next two years, he was training to control the summon, to be able to summon it at will. However, a few months ago, his training was interrupted as the world seemed to melt around him. His father ordered the summon to protect his son, as he did. Within an instant, he put the boy in a sleep, the last thing being seen was his father's back as he wondered what was going on. A few days later, he awoke in a strange world, scared and alone. Looking outside, he realized it wasn't his city, and wondered what happened to his father, remembering the last thing he saw before sleeping. To this day, he searches this new world for thme, but nobody seems to know who they are or where they are.
