About Your Character!

Character Name:
Álvaro d'Souza.

Character Age:
28.

Character Race:
Sangrian. I understand these have to be applied for and will do as soon as I finish this application.

Appearance:
Álvaro dons mid-length wavy black hair and a thick beard, with murky green eyes. His skin is tanned and littered with small scars and not so small tattoos reminiscent of events that have taken place throughout his life. He can often be found in vests with a crimson sash around his waist, or wearing light jackets of black or brown with a cutlass sheathed at his hip.

Picture of the Skin:






Written Test!

The Jax-Cursed Captain.

Álvaro was born the son of an old fisherman named Renato d'Souza - with an unnamed mother that he never knew, and thus, technically a bastard and half-sibling to his older brothers and sisters (With a twin sister, Ana). Santigo, where he was born is a small fortified harbour town, populated almost solely by Sangrians, but with notable minorities of Soolerans and Elves. The vast majority of the populace were fishermen with the odd merchant that owned holdings in the town for storage as a pit stop en route north - the merchants found in the town, however, were far and few between given the notoriety of the town as a safe haven for several pirate crews.

Álvaro had been, for quite some time working in the markets and on small fishing boats. That is until he was almost fourteen, during this time, he had begun to work in a local shipyard for an elderly and widowed man named Fernando Aguiar. Over the course of four years the two became rather close. At the closing of his tenure with the shipping company however, Fernando passed, leaving his rather small fortune and company to Álvaro with no suitable heirs. At the young age of seventeen, it was decided the company would be left under Renato’s care and Álvaro would take the coin to pay for a small two masted brig-sloop (Named The Pez Globo) and crew, thus beginning his tenure as a pirate and smuggler. He brought along with him, his uncle, Telmo. Telmo was and is a fiercely experienced sailor who served as Álvaro’s Quartermaster and Firstmate, advising the young captain on all his undertakings

It seemed that the young man’s penchant for all things nautical and maritime, as well as his practical upbringing helped in his education and learning as a Captain. On the open ocean, Álvaro showed cunning and brutality that was scarcely seen - at least that’s what he’d have you know.

During this decade-long stint, Álvaro and his crew of pirates took their stolen sloop and wreaked havoc along the coasts of everywhere they could. He had become a talented hand with a cutlass and before long the crew was renowned in the waters they were active for their barbarity and speed. Unfortunately, due to rather unfortunate circumstances this did not last forever. The Pez Globo was lost in a battle with a Kingdom of Anhald vessel. Álvaro and the remaining crew were imprisoned to be hanged, but escaped the prison in a ballsy and daring plan to mob the prison guard.

Now, the remnants of the crew that trust in the bad luck stricken Captain d’Souza follow his lead from town to town, in a much smaller and stolen cutter ship, escaping the Northern Kingdoms shortly before the populace fled at the end of the Exodus. The ship was lost amongst the rocky coastline during a rather relentless storm that left the small remains of the crew downtrodden and without morale.

Hi there! Thank you for taking the time and effort to apply to Hollowworld. Before we continue there are a few small issues we need to rectify.

- So Mentors are the people who review applications and offer help to players in the community. We got this banner below our profile pics that modestly scream the word "Mentor" on them so you can just put my name down for that section or if you find another person with a banner like that you can put them down too.

- Your test is very well written but we like to ask that characters start off as relatively unknown with basic skills and stealing three mid size ships is little too much for a backstory event. I suggest you keep your character to a low profile cause I can guarantee you it'll be a lot more fun actually Roleplaying stealing more ships than having your character already do it in backstory.

- Because the character is Sangrian you must also submit a character application in a forum conversation, after this whitelist application goes through, with Cymic_ and Kamaoe following the application format found in here.

Once again, thank you for taking the time and effort to make this application to Hollowworld. I look forward to reading this once again.

- Mentor part fixed.
- Removed the other two ships, but left the initial one to provide grounds for him being a Captain and knowing how to captain a ship in the first place.
- I've been approved to play a Sangrian, I messaged Cymic_ and Kamaoe as soon as I posted this.

Congratulations!

I'm pleased to announce your application has been approved. I hope you enjoy your stay in Altera. Before logging on make sure you read the Survival Guide. It will help you on your way to get established in our World. If you need to know any additional information, everything can be found in our Tome of Citizenship. Make sure you consult either of these two before asking a question ingame.

For easy reading- Here's our Starter Guide once you login!

If you're stuck unable to interact with anything or chat, try using /warp whitelist, if this doesn't work then please message a staff member with the problem.

You are probably eager to jump into the game, so there is no need to read all the links. Just use these as a reference for later.(very useful, by the way.)
Survival Guide
Tome of Citizenship
Commands Guide
How to create your character profile
Town Census
Server Rules
Using Titles ingame
Rules for Roleplay
The Players' Handbook

Lastly, please make sure you understand the following points. It's very important. As a new player, once you play you may be tempted to "test" out an x-ray mod... don't do it! We have a zero tolerance policy for it.

1) We have active members of staff monitoring players suspected of using X-RAY. We have extensive logging capabilities which also highlight to us when X-RAY is suspected. Anyone caught using X-RAY mods or Transparent Texture Packs will be permanently banned without appeal.
2) Anyone found to be griefing our server and subsequently blaming their sibling, friend, dog or any other person other than themselves will be banned irrespective of their innocence.

I can't log on to the server for some reason, it says my username can't be verified.
Still having trouble? You should be able to log on to the server, even if you're not whitelisted. Might be a client side issue, bu make sure to try periodically to see if the issue persists.

Seems like it's persisted, all it's giving me is a "Failed to Verify Username!" unfortunately.

We're trying to figure out what's gone wrong, bare with us while we try to troubleshoot. In the mean time, see if you can keep trying to connect.

Try to exit launcher, restart launcher, log out of the login screen, log again.. then try again.

See if that helps?

Think it has something to do with a recent name change, my launcher was still listed as my old username for some reason but I've tweaked it and it's working now. Thanks for the help xo
