Why you think you should have these items. - I'm new, and I believe I deserve them because I know how to roleplay it correctly and would add exoticy to the roleplay.

Make a character page first.

Making it at the moment, might as well make both at the same time.

Oh so now the tluiner is gonna get a gat and shoot me for not serving him?
Well come at me kid.

Besides, I'm a paladin of Tyr who's survived a hydra bite, werewolf throw and a giant crocodile hump.

I'm a paladin for the church of Sul Sedlerine, fool.

Deven is a paladin of the Prophet's version of Tyr worship. Therefor he is a heretic. Also you've been officially labeled worst paladin of 2012. You can't beat Deven.

In serious news, I'm going to have to throw out a deny for the flintlock. I think it's been expressed quite clearly that the wheelock is the pinnacle of firing technology. I could be mistaken.

I've already mentioned in the applicaiton, not to argue, that it is a different empire with different technologies. Think of the Spanish coming to South America, except you're not idiotic tribals with spears and clubs.

Hopefully I don't have to explain why flintlocks aren't overpowered.

Flintlocks do not exist yet?

As I have said, it is a different lands where technology is progressed differently, and they were invented in the 16'th century, and according to what people in the server said, it is around that time. 1400-1600.

Deny, conflicts with lore and such

You don't yet have an approved character and flintlocks do not exist. Denied.

You made up new lore without so much as talking to anyone about it. Automatic deny for that reason alone.

Denied.

Even the most technically advanced city (I forget it's name but it already has halogen bulbs and electricity) doesn't have Flintlocks yet.

There are clear reasons for not having them, particularly the fact they require very little priming so can be pulled easily.

I saw the title and I thought...dah fuck, we do not have flint locks yet which we probably never shall so as with the others I shall throw a deny at this even though it might not matter as to what I have to say

It's not even just lore. It's a matter of balance. One person with a flintlock pretty much makes everyone else's firearms obsolete. If one person gets one, everyone will want one.

Alternatively we could make it so his Flintlock is instead a Snaphance and say it uses a brittle type of flint, so that after each shot it must be replaced.

This would fit in to the Olden timeline (Snaphance is circa 1550 onwards) but would better balance it. Especially since it would require cocking before firing (To avoid going off in ones pocket prior to firing at a target), would require reloading and also require the flint to be replaced.
