[✔] [Accepted] [Pending] Creeperslayer779 Whitelist Application

[Adran 10]

     Hi! This is my application to join the server, but I have a question: what year is it? I've searched all over and I can't find an answer. If the lore doesn't support my character's age for some reason, the backstory allows his age to be reasonably flexible (I would say he could be anywhere from 20 to 40).

     Another question: would it be acceptable for my character (when he begins to learn hydromancy) be unable to evoke liquid water but instead always end up with snow/ice? I feel like this makes sense because it's not a major deviation from accepted lore, it doesn't really give my character an advantage because when you start learning battle magic you've already learned cryomancy (if anything, it's a disadvantage not to be able to evoke water), and my character knows basically everything there is to know about ice (and not much about liquid water) in the mundane sense, having grown up in a frozen environment and having inherently cold-adapted characteristics. Thanks!

Out-Of-Character Information

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?: creeperslayer779

     How old are you?: 16

     Are you aware the server is PG-13 (You won’t be denied for being under 13): Indeed I am.

     Have you applied to this server before? (Please link all past applications): Nope.

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

     What’s the rule you agree with the most?: That would have to be the rule about harassment, or possibly the one about discrimination and prejudice. The whole point of a roleplaying server is to create a community in which everyone can immerse him- or herself in a world together and, even if their characters disagree, still have fun together. Harassment defeats the whole purpose of that and those who break that rule should have no place here. There are plenty of other places on the internet where those behaviors are the norm.

     Are there any rule(s) that confuse you or don’t make sense?(If so we can help clear it up! You will not be denied for having a question on the rules): No; this seems to be an excellent rules set.

     How did you find out about Lord of the Craft? I Googled “Minecraft Roleplaying Server.”

     What is roleplaying?: Roleplaying is the art of immersing oneself in another world and acting as though one was part of that world in every way. It is similar to acting, except that roleplayers have to make up the story as they go along.

     What is metagaming?: Metagaming basically means thinking about the game as a game in-character and having your character act based upon knowledge that you possess but your character does not.

In-Character Information

 

     Character’s name: Adran Frosthand

     Character’s gender: Male

     Character’s race: High Elf (specifically of the Mali’Fenn culture)

     Character’s age: 32

     Biography  (Please make it a decent two paragraphs long. Remember to add server lore, and events that happened to your character so that they don’t contradict history.):  Born in a small, remote community composed mainly of Northerners to a Snow Elf magician and his wife, a healer, Adran grew up surrounded mainly by humans and more or less isolated from the outside world. Laureh'lin and the other great kingdoms of the world were just names to him.

     From a very young age, however, Adran was curious and eager to learn. He would often bother his mentors for more information and stories. One Gregory Talonblade, a grizzled adventurer, was very willing to share. Gregory delighted Adran with tales of his adventures in far-away lands in the South, and Adran was determined to emulate him. Having learned his lessons quickly, he would spend his afternoons training with his father’s rapier. Though Adran was rather physically frail, the art of dueling made use of dexterity and quick thinking rather than brute strength and Adran worked to become a skilled duelist. Adran longed to leave his home and become an adventurer like Talonblade, yet he was frightened of the prospect of leaving behind everything and everyone he had ever known and loved.

     Adran's parents encouraged him to remain at home and follow in his father’s footsteps. Adran’s father had promised that he would teach Adran magic one day, but Adran grew impatient, having sped through his lessons on the mundane. Brought up to be respectful, Adran did not press his father to hasten his training. Nonetheless, his desire to learn of and explore the outside world soon clashed with his love for his family and the snowy climate he called home. Finally, Adran was driven to ask the local council of elders for permission to leave and seek out a new life in the South, where he might learn of new lands and the secrets of the arcane. The Council agreed to allow him to leave on the condition that he retain the culture and law of the Mali’Fenn and return one day to serve the community that raised him. Eager to leave, Adran agreed and departed to seek knowledge and adventure.

     Personality Traits: Ambitious but realistic, curious (almost obnoxiously so), respectful but assertive, loyal to his friends but willing to move on if he has to, dignified but not condescending, somewhat short-tempered but not antagonistic, confident (and somewhat arrogant), inexperienced but not naive. Adran will not go out of his way to help others, but will try to accomplish his goals without hurting other people

     Ambitions: To learn the secrets of magic (possibly cryomancy), explore the world, and make a name for himself.

     Strengths/Talents: His intellect is keen and he has some skill as a duelist.

     Weaknesses/Inabilities: He is physically weak and knows almost nothing of the world, having lived most of his life in relative isolation. He is terrified of fire.

     Appearance (List the extra details of your characters appearance, IE; height & weight): Adran is tall and thin, with long silvery hair and deep blue eyes.

     Appearance, please provide us a screenshot of your character’s skin (If you need help, see our screenshot guide here): I don't know what the skin standards of this server are, but I used my extremely limited artistic ability to create a somewhat basic skin here:

I understand if this is not of sufficient quality to use on the server, but I thought I'd give it a shot to see if I could spare PWS some trouble. If this doesn't work, then I can wait for PWS.

     Note: before you post the helpful message about reading the magic guides--yes, I did read them extensively and intend to find an instructor at the earliest possible opportunity.
