Definitions

This is simply so that we can get an understanding of how much you know about roleplaying. Feel free to Google the answers, but make sure that you write the reply in your own words, not another website / person's!

What is roleplaying?: - Roleplaying is the act of playing the role of another character or person, This act of roleplaying has 2 parts; IC(which in in character in which the role is filled) and OOC(in which the party in not playing as their character and in their normal self).

What’s metagaming?: - Using information from OOC that your normal IC character would not normally know, for example if I read on a wiki or something that a war was going on in Herendul, but my character was over in Malinor on a fishing adventure with some friends. And then immediately run over to Herendul and start fighting although my IC was never informed.

What’s powergaming?: - Automatically assuming that your character is the greatest and most defiantly will never be defeated in a fight. An example of this is like a man mugging another man. The man being mugged shoots an arrow at the muggers leg, but the mugger decides, "no, I wan't to play the game as if it revolves around me". "Mugger gets wounded, but keeps running". If this was reality, then no the mugger would not get away. But the mugger doesn't care. And no matter what the man getting mugged would say, the mugger wouldn't play fair and get away.

In-Character Information

Now you actually make your character - be creative but stay reasonable! Make sure they make sense and that they follow lore. Try to come up with a character that you actually want to play.

What’s your character called?: - Zeno ( it's been a nickname my father gave me before he was stationed in Afghan. I don't see him very often but i go by that nickname because it is just special to me.)

What race are they (and sub-race)?: - Human, no nobility or known family tree

What sex are they?: - Male

How old are they?: - 21

Give us a brief description of their life - their story, childhood, family (Include server lore when writing): - Starting for early life, Zeno was born into The Kingdom Of Herendul. He was a trouble maker. No parents around to keep him in check. He lived on the streets, stealing things dropped by passing civilians to make a living. He often took things that people left out in the open because he really had no reason not to. And he didn't wan't to be called a monster because technically he didn't steal things, but he never really gave anything back. Later on in his life he just got use to being in the shadows and constantly taking things. Now he tries spend most of his time trying to get his life on track and finally find a meaning, maybe join the army and help defend, rather than attack and take. Later on in his life he met an elf named Lincia Nibula, she became his friend. Although some people are racism towards elf's, Zeno doesn't care because he truly believes he can trust her. He mostly spends his time helping her with tasks around Malinor. And he has adapted to the way some elf's look at him around the town. He understands how some elf's feel against humans and vice-versa. He just didn't grow up into a family that acts racist towards others. Actually he never really grew up in a family at all... Hes traveled up north to Oren only once in his life. But he always finds his way back home to Herendul. Some whispers can be heard from his trip to Oren, The Hooded Menace some would say. There currently are no "Laws" that forbid him to enter the kingdom of Oren, but he feels the need to lie low for a bit.

What are they like (personality)?: - quiet in crowed, loud among friends. Quick to draw a sword and slow to stop a fight. Use to accepting the fact that sometimes, you just can't win fights. He seems very calm on the outside, but on the inside it is very more complex than that. He constantly has to think about what his next move would be in any given situation. He always looks like hes thinking about something in depth. Because of this he may come off as quiet and really doesn't find a need with social interaction with people he doesn't usually talk to. It is unusual, but sometimes he takes on jobs for wood cutting companies and coal mining companies to make some money on the side. He is alright at both, but he doesn't mine or wood cut in his free time because he thinks its to time consuming for his lifestyle.

What are their ambitions?: - To try and stop being such a terrible person. He no longer wants to be the bad guy but in fact change his life and take up a knew role. One not so harmful to the people of Herendul. To ultimately try to change from what he is now (a thief with no care in the world except what hes gonna eat that night) to someone other can look at and say, "thank you" to. His hobbies are sword fighting, thieving, and acrobatics. All of which he is use to doing, but he can easily say he is not a master to those skills.

Do they have any special skills?: - Blending in, easy to hide into a crowd. A small bit of training in acrobatics. As well as mining and wood cutting. But hes not quite sure on how he should learn to get better on those skills. He hasn't special ability at birth, survives as just a basic human. Maybe learning a few knew skill here and there from a teacher willing to teach a person like him, but for the time being, he is just a Thief.

What are their weaknesses?: - Trust. being born into a world by yourself makes you judge people for the sake of protection. He often leaves people, doesn't stay in a place to long, and he doesn't enjoy staying in a place for too long because then people become aware of him. He also doesn't like it when people show racism towards High Elves. His friend in particular, spending time in human territory with her, their bound to hear at least one comment from someone in a pub about why elves are "inferior" to humans.

Give us a description of how they look (not a screenshot yet!)?: - A human with a hood, nothing more. Nothing less. Tattered clothing, it shows that he has a past that has took its toll on him. A 5 o'clock shadow on his face...not really for a certain reason, just because he thinks it show's maturity. He always carries some sort of blade on him, most likely a sword on the left side of his torso. A greasy body and slick looking hair, although in the towns he rarely takes his hood off. All and all he comes off as just a poor looking dude with an "I've got nothing to lose" attitude. Cyan eyes that shine like diamonds.

Anything else you want to say about them?: - A lot of servers didn't have a problem with me. A few were mad with me cause i do have a small history of grief. If i do decide to destroy someone else property (i probably will) i will apply for the villain forum and get the right permission from a mod or the owner, I would not want to ruin the experiences of others in the server. As for Zeno, I understand that he is not the main character and that he wont most likely die a hero. If I get accepted, I wont act like I'm a one man army. If i know that my character can't win, chances are i wont try. Teaming up isn't my thing, but there are limits a solo character can do. I understand that the needs of others enjoyment in this server is more important than mine. I will play Zeno the way I told you I will. But at the same time making sure i follow the rules you've set in this server. Thank you.

Another thing I would like to say is thank you to Cruz for helping me fix all of my problems with my past app. This app is a replication to the one I sent yesterday, but I fixed all the problems he said I needed to fix. Whom ever is judging this app. I just want you to know that from all of the problems that have been stated to me, I do believe I have fixed all of them. But if you truly believe that I should not be accepted then please tell me what you think I should fix and I promis you I'll try my best to make this perfectso I can experience this amazing server and play with my friends. They have told me a lot about this server and I'm really excieted to start going on quest's and adventures with them.

Please give us a screenshot of your character’s skin: -

Glad to see the necessary changes were made. Really, the villainy was still sort of present, but it's evident you're aware that you can't commit villainous actions, and the rest of your application is pretty damn solid. You're ready for the server, I'd say.

I would also recommend visiting the following links to make yourself a bit more knowledgeable about the server and roleplay in general:

I look forward to seeing you on the server! I encourage you to send me a PM with any questions you have!

Please wait patiently for a GM to Whitelist you.
