Written Test! Born in a small shack and raised by a poor family, Ava did not have a great childhood, with very little to her name. Ava and her twin sister Bella got by with their parents for 18 years, as most families did, little did she know, her father was in debt to a gang of thugs for quite a large sum of money, and when it came time that those bandits wanted that money back, they wasted no time. Knowing that the Father could not keep his daughters and wife alive, he ordered them to run into the forests, and head for a cave that he had prepared for an emergency, which had enough food and water for them to hide there for quite some time. As Ava and her remaining family ran into the woods to the chorus of thugs shouting and screaming she looked back to see her Father's face in the window, little did she know this would be the last she saw of him. (Time skip of a week) After living in the cave for a week, the mother elected to go out into the woods to see if she could learn what her family home. Expecting her to be gone only hours, Ava and her sister waited, and waited, until the cold night set in, and Bella began attempting to light a fire, this took quite a while as neither girl had a grasp on survival-ism as such, but, given a bit of perseverance, the fire was lit, and a warm orange glow emitted from the cave, the two sat and awaited the return of their mother, when Ava heard heavy footsteps approach the cave, she assumed that her mother had gotten their father and was coming back for them, so got up and ran to the entrance of the cave. When Ava reached the entrance she was not met with her loving parents, but instead a large man, with a woodsman's axe in hand, on his belt, ears, several ears, Ava froze, as the man smiled a dark, twisted smile and said. You must be the Greys? Bella heard the voice and ran at the man, being brushed aside by him, The man took Ava by the throat dropping his axe. "Oh, I'll av' fun wid' you..." He said Lifting her from the floor and begining to choke her, Ava now jolted into motion by the shock of being choked, looked the man in the eyes and gave aconcerned stare before taking her hands and laying them on his face Ava plunged her thumbs into the man's eyes pushing in deeply as blood rained down her hands, and he screamed- his scream however was cut short, due to Bella bringing his axe down on his head, killing him. Ava stood up, drenched in the man's blood as Bella looked on. "Who are you?" Bella whispered looking at her sister. To which Ava could only reply: "I am what needs to be. A survivor, and a winner." The last words heard from Ava, as she left the Cave pulling the axe from the Man

Hello- Just a bit of clarification needed on the Test. Although there were no representations of rape, there were hints at it- and I want to keep it clear that delving more into it is something we want not go over the Inappropriate Roleplay Rules. This isn't a warning, as you didn't do anything wrong on the test, but just something to be aware of.

On the matter of violence- we ask new whitelisters to not include it in their Tests. Considering you did, I'd have to ask for a bit more writing in between Ava carving into the opposites eyes and managing to swing an axe to kill him. The jump between scenes considers things to be a bit powergaming and during in-game conflict when you're roleplaying with another player in combat, jumps are to be avoided. If you'd like- you can instead take out the violent writing and write about a less-violent event.

The idea was not rape, but instead him killing, I see the confusion, and it was not meant in a jump in scene but instead the sister Bella killing the man, while Ava only maimed him (Have made changes to make less sexual, see how it could have been that way with the kiss: my appologies)

Alright- and whoops- Someone In-Game PM'ed me that Ava wasn't the one swinging Axe but her sister, too. Sorry about that. Although it's quite a violent ending, it doesn't ring any alarms on rules. Just be aware of them while roleplaying. What you have above is fine and there's no need to change it.

Congratulations!
