Out-Of-Character Information

 

The simplest section of the application. Answer these questions so we can get to know you a bit more. Please do your best to correct spelling and grammatical errors, this is an RP server and writing is the main form of communication! 

 

What’s your Minecraft Account Name?: - sckolar

 

How old are you?: - 21

 

Have you ever roleplayed on a minecraft server before? If so, where?: - yes, here & Hollowworld

 

Have you applied to this server before? (Please link past applications): - yes & accepted. The link is not possible as a while back, they cleared it while they were cleaning up the forums.

 

How did you hear about us?: -I saw your post on the MC forums like 2 years ago

 

What do you think the server will be like? - hopefully the same as when I left?

 

Have you read and agreed to the rules?: - several times

 

What’s the rule you agree with the most?: - Metagaming, which sometimes seems like the most broken and overlooked rule at times to me, it used to be very discouraged. 

 

Do you understand combat rules, and what you can and can’t do if you do choose to roleplay as a villain?:- I understand combat rules perfectly. I am aware that PVP is default, and If I choose to RP a battle, I prefer to take turns taking actions. If I use a sword, I do not decide if my strikes hit my opponent, unless they give me permission, or it's obvious my attack will succeed (If they are tied up or something)  I'm not sure what you mean by "Can and can't do as a villain" but I would imagine stay in character, rob & attack other characters with RP logic. If it's something your character would not do, then don't do it!

 

Are there any rule(s) that confuse you or don’t make sense?(If so maybe we can help clear it up! You will not be denied for having a question on the rules):-Not at the moment

 

Definitions

 

These terms are a major part of the server and in a few of our rules. Please define them so that we can get an understanding of how much you know about roleplaying. Feel free to Google the answers or check on our wiki, but make sure that you write the reply in your own words, not those of another website or person!

 

What is roleplaying?: - Roleplaying is pretending to be a character, and taking part in a story while maintaining that character's personality, values, beliefs, and attitude. Taking action only the way your character would, and generally thinking "Is this something HE would do?" rather than "Is this something I would do?"

 

What’s metagaming?: - Metagaming is often overlooked by everyone. It's taking information that a player knows Out-of-character and using it in-character. For example, when I first joined, I wanted to know how to get to CT from where I was, I made a post asking for the coordinates, and was told that I would be metagaming If they told me.

 

What’s powergaming?: - This: 

or more specifically, Making it so that your character has abilities they normally don't have at the last minute, this rule is often broken in RP combat by players who are losing. A character who is not very flexible, or physically strong should not be able to dodge three people swinging at him/her simultaneously, or catch an arrow flying at them.

 

In-Character Information

What gender are they?: - Male

Give us a highlight of their past, What life events make your character the person they are today? This is your character's biography. It is also required to include server lore when writing. (Names of towns, major server events, ect. Most lore can be found on our wiki.): - The majority of Toran’s years was spent in the Fringe. Raised by a noble family, his father was in charge of a group of debt collectors In a city known as Kaldonia at the time, and often travelled out to other towns to collect debts with his thugs. His mother was a tailor, and quite a good one at the time. His family did not allow him to leave the home while they were at work, and hired a scholar to come to his home and teach him, and educate him.

 

Toran was about 15, being taught by a man known as Arthur. Arthur was a middle-aged man, well versed in history, religion, basic sword combat , and other things as well. Arthur spent much time being hired to personally teach children of nobility. So for years Toran studied the ancient history of this world he knew so little about. Studying myths and history such as the brothers that fought Ibless, and the fall of Aegis by the undead as well as Asulon… It was not until later that his mother finally found the strength to tell him of the horrible creatures that pushed the nations out of Anthos. His mother claimed that she saw Setherien himself, and a Harbinger kill a man, taking him off the ground, into the sky. This caused Toran to be interested in history even more, and so he studied harder.

 

Every now and then, either through constant complaining, or when Arthur felt like it, Toran would get one on one training sessions in sword combat. Over time, Toran grew attached to Arthur, and they became friends. This friendship began with Arthur showing Toran how to fish. Arthur fished as a hobby, and to relax. Toran found this same relaxation and took enjoyment to it as well. At the end of the day, it was time to pray to Aeriel for care taking of their souls. Although Toran’s parents had him pray to Aeriel for every lasting love for family, friends, and in the afterlife. Arthur always told him to pray to Eshtael as well, claiming that if Toran wants a great destiny, this is how he should go about it, so he did.

 

Eventually, Toran’s education was no longer necessary, and his family stopped  hiring tutors and instructors. Arthur had to part, as he had a good business deal teaching elsewhere. Toran said his goodbyes. Arthur’s final words to Toran was to “always face your fears. Eshtael has good plans in store for you”. Like any other young man, Toran decided to not follow his parent’s advice to stay in the village and run a business, at least not starting out, instead, he became a message courier, delivering messages, and meeting people his parents would never let him meet… This job ended with bandits robbing him, taking what he was told to be an Important delivery, then beating him,  taking his minas that his parents gave him, and running off. With nothing but his fine, exquisite clothing made by his mother, Toran noticed a large group of people walking down the road in the same direction the bandits went… With nothing to lose, he followed to find everyone going into a portal… And the new land awaited him Thales. His social personality left behind, this Heartlander may never see others the same. Ever since that day, Toran no longer prays to Aeriel, but continues to pray to Eshtael, believing that his prayer to two Aenguls angered the one of destiny, bringing him misfortune. Toran now seeks forgiveness from Eshtael, whether he/she is truly angry or not.

 

What are they like? (personality): - Generally not charismatic. Toran, despite his education, he lacks many social skills from being kept from people. He is not very convincing when it comes to lying to people. However, over the years, his social skills have improved, and he is more convincing & confident now than ever. Toran enjoys a good drink, and generally can relax easier when drinking. Toran has a slight problem opening up to others, and is generally more selfish than selfless. Toran would take from someone else to get what he wants. This does not mean that he does not care, he just happens to care more for himself. The selfishness has a possibility to change.

 

What are their ambitions?: - He seeks forgiveness from Eshtael still. Toran still recalls fishing with Arthur back in the good old days, and inspires to be a fisherman, but also takes an interest in searching for relics (which would make him an adventurer) He has not decided what he wants to do, and sometimes considers being a mercenary.

 

Do they have any special skills? What are their weaknesses? (Try to list a few of both): -

Skills: 

-Historical knowledge specifically when it comes to Anthos & Asulon.

-Knows how to fish

-Knows how to read & write

-Knows how to fight with a shortsword & crossbow

Weaknesses & bad qualities:

-Poor decision making

-Low charisma

-selfish

-unskilled with any 2H weapon, long bows

​-unfamiliar with magic (meaning he does not know how to react to it)

-Has little to no knowledge of basic skills (farming, woodworking, building, ect.)

 

 

Give us a description of how they look?: - Toran has dark brown hair, scruff on his face, green eyes. He wears a thin wool shirt, with silk robes, and cotton pants. He wears black worn shoes that appear to be quality handmade. He has calloused hands from swinging a sword. Often times, he is seen carrying a tankard on his hip.
