I'm Laney, IGN Delanium. I just got good internet back after a long stretch without it, so I'm looking for a new server. I prefer Vanilla minecraft but I was looking for something a bit different than the usual, and I saw your post on Reddit and liked the idea of a fantasy roleplay server. I enjoy the lore and world aspects of fantasy, and I'd love to be a part of one unfolding.
Based on what's been described in your FAQ, I think I'd prefer serving a liege. I'm a decent builder, but I've never been one for enormous builds, and sometimes my creativity runs a bit dry but I still want to take part in the community; helping other people build, completing tasks, etc. I worked as a judge on my last server (it ended up just fizzling out as people stopped playing), which usually meant mock trials for funny punishments for light-hearted crimes, but occasionally included weighing in on bans for actual rule breaks.
The grindier parts of Minecraft have also always relaxed me, so I think that may make me useful for people who might prefer the more exciting parts, or who have ambitious build plans but get frustrated with gathering resources. So in general, I think I'd like to play more of an assistance role, but that may change when I get in game and find a job that never occured to me on typical servers.
I'm not 100% sure on the backstory. I've been looking through the lore, but there's quite a bit to get through. I'll definitely keep reading and researching as I go. (And boy, do I have to commend you guys on some serious lore.) I was thinking of basing my backstory off of my current skin: essentially a human girl with a white dress and a sunflower in her hair. I imagine I'm the daughter of fairly prosperous farmer, but our farm was attacked and I was forced to flee. Now I'm just looking for a place to call home and a new liege to serve.
In essence, I'm really just looking for an interesting experience from an active community. I'm not really sure of exactly what I'm doing, but I'll throw myself into figuring it out, and I'll help wherever I can. I really love the idea of this server, and I'd love to be a part of it.
Edit: I started building a small mining town to show you all how I tend to build. I'll update this album as I continue.
