Okay, first I want to say thank you for your interest in the role, and also apologize for some miscommunication that seems to have happened. We had a former Goron Chieftan who had to stop writing some time ago who recently reached out to Navi about coming back. Unfortunately, Navi hadn't been around much lately and we didn't realize how quickly the Gorons would get popular again, and as such, it got missed in the hustle of the site. Because of this, Navi was intending the Goron Chieftan spot to be reserved for his return, and had not realized that you intended to apply to this role sooner. Again, we apologize for that misunderstanding.
Now as for your app, I also did want to go over a few things, just so you know for future reference some issues that might arise.
The big thing is that your Goron is listed as 11 in "Goron years" and for the purposes of this site we're using standard normal ages for everyone, so whatever age they would be considered in general is what needs to be there. I've not heard of Goron's using a different age system than any of the other races. And for the purposes of our server and lore, someone that young isn't feasible for the Goron Chieftain. As they're typically the elder of the Gorons and thus have the life experience necessary to lead. The position isn't inherently hereditary and is usually voted on so as to only have capable Chieftains leading them.
The next is your history. Which, while being an interesting and unique format is not much of a history. We get a few points about Faen's life but as far as actually being a description of who they are and what they've done in life it isn't much and will need to be reworked. As they're only eleven I know they haven't had much life experience but the point still stands.
Another big thing about your history is how closely tied they are to your other character Maedhra. While your characters don't have to be separate from each other, we like to encourage people to branch out from their own characters as interpersonal relationships and ask they try to intermingle in the site a bit more.
I think the next big thing is in your Inventory. You put a very significant piece of lore in there that wasn't discussed with any mods. A big "mega project" as it were would likely have been known and discussed by several members of nobility including Zelda. As such, without having discussed this prior with anyone we can't allow it. It feels as though you are trying to tie in this character to your other and somewhat increase their standing in a way, and we want to avoid giving one character a huge amount of power in the world without prior discussion.
Thank you, please feel free to reach out to me or the other mods if you have any questions.
