How did you hear about us?: - I joined the server back during the Asulon phase, but have been inactive since around the time Anthos was starting. I'm making this app because I'd like to get involved again with the server.

What do you think the server will be like? - Even better than it was when I was involved, since I've had time to experience other RP servers and hone my abilities.

Have you read and agreed to the rules?: - Yes, I have

What’s your favourite rule / the rule you agree with the most?: - 

You don't need to permanently kill your character when you die. However, if you commit suicide, your character is perma-killed. When you die, you simply go back to the Cloud Temple and forget all memory of the death. You can't go back to where you died for a full thirty minutes. If you perma-kill your character, you have a one week grace period in which you can return your character from the dead. After the one week is over, your character can no longer be brought back from the grave.

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?: -  Portraying characters an situations through player imagination and ideas.

What’s metagaming?: - The use of OOC-learned information in an RP situation. EX: Telling everyone another faction is going to attack because you read it on the forums.

What’s powergaming?: - Controlling the outcome of roleplay events in an unfair manner. EX: "player x attacks and kills player y" is powergaming because player y was given no chance to respond to the event.

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?: - Aldous Valinum

What race are they (and sub-race)?: - Human, Southernor

What sex are they?: - Male

How old are they?: - 23

Give us a brief description of their life - their story, childhood, family (Include server lore when writing): - 

Aldous Valinium was born to a large peasant family in Abresi in the year 1430. Hes was the fifth son of Oliver and Ida Valinium, farmers in southern Abresi with a heritage going back to the lost lands of Asulon. Of course, that "heritage" was mostly a bunch of drunken peasants, so to call it a proud one would be a lie. Nevertheless, Aldous saw it as equal to the epic sagas and stories of the noble families of Oren. As the fifth of five sons, Aldous' prospects were never particularly high if he stayed in his hometown. His oldest brother, Nicholas, would surely inherit the family farm. His Brother Robert became a Deacon and his brothers Stilnor and Steven learned trades. Aldous was left to figure out his own path.

 

Growing up in the chaotic period of the Holy Oren Empire's fall exposed Aldous to the horrors and excitement of warfare and intrigue, stories of which found their way even to his ears. Aldous envied the soldiers and knights he would see frequently. Growing up the youngest son, Aldous had never commanded respect. But these soldiers, some of whom were no more than peasants with spears, seemed larger than life, and commanded respect and attention among their peers.

 

When he reached adulthood, Aldous left his home, desiring a spear rather than a plow. He now hopes to enter the service of one of Oren's noble families, seeing this as his calling in life.

What are they like (personality)?: - Aldous is somewhat soft-spoken and quiet, tending to blend in and seem insignificant. That's not to say he's introverted. He's friendly enough with outher people, but not likely to go out of his way to be social. He is confident, but still realistic about his place in the world (at the bottom). Aldous is loyal to those he respects (or those who pay him enough) and not particularly ambitious in his goals. He has an admiration for Dwarves (though he has never met one) but views halflings as cowards and weaklings.

What are their ambitions?: - Aldous isn't very ambitious by nature. Realisitcally, he just wants to find work for a noble house. Deep down, he longs to be a knight, but knows that isn't going to happen.

Do they have any special skills?: - Aldous' parents couldn't set up an apprenticship for him when he was young, so he has grown up without learning a major skill. Aldous has somewhat of a knack for building, but has never really used it practically. Aldous can farm, like his parents, but loathes it to the point that he hates to see a plow.

What are their weaknesses?: - Aldous is overly confident in his abilities, and this will surely be his downfall. He's not one to think before getting himself into a bad situation, because he believes he'll get himself out fine. Aldous is not a generous person, and is more likely to kick a begger out of the way before giving him a single minas.

Give us a description of how they look (not a screenshot yet!)?: - Aldous has dark brown hair and light blue eyes. He is of average height and weight, with a stocky build. His skin is typical of a southernor, but somewhat lighter than some. The right half of his face is discolored, a mark he earned as a boy when he fell into a fire pit.

Anything else you want to say about them?: - Nothing I can think of.

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

Fantastic, there you go. No need to write any more - simply post this on our forums (and on MinecraftForum like it says above) and wait!
